Chloé Fall 2013
Backstage at Chloé, creative director Clare Waight Keller was talking about the inspiration for her fall collection, specifically power and the strange places it can reside, such as, the girl coming home on the night bus. Now, chances are you are reading this in the United States, and this particular concept of after-dark public transportation has passed you by, so to speak. But all you need to do is picture the girl who is taking a very British phenomenon of a social melting pot on wheels. She is younger, cooler, a tad subversive, mixing up tough, utilitarian pieces, like a parka, over something ironically feminine like a pretty skirt, hefty kicky boots, a beaten-up bag slung over her shoulder, and a preference for piercings that dangle from any point on her ears.
Bring her across la manche to Paris, as Waight Keller did, and she becomes quite a different creature; her look takes on an elevation akin to hitting the "Up" button, ascending from the street to the 104th floor in seconds. The coat could be a black felted wool duffle, a bright blue doubleface zippered wool cape, or a pearl gray wild and woolly shearling, all with a shrug-it-on and slouch-it-off oversize shape. (Incidentally, in a quick hand-held weigh-in of Waight Keller's fabrics, I am pleased to report that they are far lighter than they look, which is only a good thing, particularly in this heavier-than-heavy season.) The skirt—A-line, to the knee—might come in blue tweed with a weighty gleaming zipper running up the side, or a black-and-brown soft-as-down fur. Those bags—sporty, substantial, and slung onto the shoulder, or like scaled-down briefcases, with elaborate metal clasps—are rendered chez Chloé in a richly patinated claret crocodile or luscious calfskin leather. And as for those piercings, here you can fake it, with a silver chain clasp suspended from the top of the ear, and best seen on Marike Le Roux, who has chopped all her hair off, and, if there is any justice in the world, is about to have a major season ahead of her; rare is the girl who makes you sit up and take notice, particularly now, but one Mia Farrow by Vidal Sassoon crop later, Le Roux did it.
Another thing to note. Some of those girl designers who favor a certain toughness—that would be Waight Keller, as well as Phoebe Philo at Céline, or long-standing members of this particular sisterhood, like Jil Sander—while offering up pants for fall, are really placing their bets on the skirt, whether cut with a certain geometry, as at Chloé, or curvaceously hugging the hips, à la Sander and Céline. Worn with a big coat and a pair of kick-ass high boots, anyone who identifies with the girl on the bus is going to want one.

Decleor: Brand Catch Up
I have been using the Neroli and Ylang Ylang range for myself and also on my clients at work. It's been a hit but there are many more products in the brand that I am unaware off. I was recently sent the bestselling 5 piece Anti Ageing Collection from the Decleor department at QVC to have a try and amidst doing DIY, working and trying to get my office/studio up and running, I have now finally been able to blog about the products.
For those unaware of Decleor, this French skincare house prides itself on using the purest floral/plant oils to create excellent products to help all sorts of skin concerns. I was introduced to it when I first started doing the shows in Paris and finding the products in all the pharmacies there. I soon started mixing drops of the essences to my foundation to create a bit more slip and to also utilise their incredible scents to calm my models down.
Let's have a look at what I got sent.
Aroma Cleanse 3 in 1 Hydra-radiance Smoothing & Cleansing Mousse 200ml
The intoxicating scent of Neroli essential oil combined with Grape Juice, Papaya Extract and Japanese White Mulberry makes this a deeply cleansing but hydrating face wash to suits all skin types. The cream turns to a foamy mousse when water is added and I use hot cloths to remove the mousse and my model and myself both felt that our skin was clean but not tight after.
Aroma Cleanse Relaxing Shower and Bath Gel 150ml
I love this product! Especially lovely in the evening after a hard day at work, essential oils of Grapefruit, Sandalwood, Thyme, Cedar Wood and Basil make for an amazingly fragranced shower experience. I found the scent suitable for men as well. Lush!
Aroma Comfort Nourishing and Soothing Hand Cream 250ml
A surprisingly moisturising hand cream that's light and non greasy. Scented by Cypress essential oil, Shea Butter & plant extracts, this now sits happily next to my sink and gets applied as soon as I finish washing my hands, which actually happens too many times!
Experience De L'Age -Triple Action Rich Cream 30ml
I was surprised at how non greasy this rich cream was! I tested it on an older model who expressed the same sentiment. Containing Essential oil of Iris, Wheat Protein and Plum Kernel Oil, this rich but light cream just melts into skin to help with mature skin.
Aromessence Iris 5ml
My favourite product of the whole selection. I've always been a huge fan of essential oils to use on myself and at work. Not only do they hydrate and nourish skin, the smells also help with nourishing the nurturing the senses. Iris, Lemon Grass, Geranium, Manuka, Jasmine and Rose essential oils penetrate deeply and nourish and protect mature skin. I love this warmed in palms of hands and then pressed into clean skin and inhaled deeply before applying moisturiser.
So quite a selection I think and a good one for anyone who wants a more nourishing and nurturing range to either deal with anti ageing concerns or mature skin. The above set is really reasonably priced I think, coming in at £57.24 from QVC. The products come in great sizes that should last quite well if used properly.
What do you think? A brand or range you would use? Let me know what you think.

Me too, big big fan, I only started using the balms in the last few years and have really come to enjoy it. Thanks and let me know what you think when you try it. XDelete
I love Decleor Kenneth, it's a brand I always come back to. I think it must be the purity and smell of the oils which attracts me. Plus some of the sets are excellent value.ReplyDelete

I know isn't it just lush how it all smells?! Thanks am very glad to be back! XDelete
Hi Kenneth! Happy new year to you too! I'm glad you're back. XXReplyDeleteReplies

Hi kenneth glad to have you back you're so inspiring!!! Just wondered what you prefer for dry chapped lips dior creme de rose or rodial glam balmReplyDelete
Lip im debating which one to get! Thank you!Replies
Aww thank you, that's very kind of you to say. Now about the lip balms, for chapped lips, I will definitely say Dior Creme de Rose. It's more nourishing and also beautiful in texture. The Rodial is good and looks great on shoots but not as nourishing as the Dior. HOpe that's helpful xDelete
After reading those good feedback I think I should try this product. And I will let you know how's the experience.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Faye, I look forward to hearing from you again. xDelete
Hi Kenneth, I'm a new reader of your blog, and i love it. Glad you're back, AshReplyDelete

The Sydney Roosters bounced back to form in their annual Anzac Day match against the Dragons. Photo: Anthony Johnson AWJ
St George Illawarra coach Steve Price says his players produced their worst performance of the season in Friday's Anzac Day defeat by the Sydney Roosters.
Price's team went down 34-14 in front of a crowd of 38,784 at Allianz Stadium and although the premiers were impressive for most of the game, the Dragons didn't help themselves with a disappointing performance.
After halftime the joint-venture completed just 64 per cent of their sets and missed 17 tackles to move to 4-4 for the campaign having won their opening three matches.
Price was pleased his side went in at the break trailing just 18-8, having been on the back foot for most of the game.
"Our skipper Ben Creagh was our best today, he really led us," said Price.
"We knew what we were going to get from the Roosters, but we had a lack of discipline in the first half and that really hurt us.
"There were areas of our game that we were doing really, really well earlier in the season that we weren't too flash at today."
Price pin-pointed the Jake Friend try just after halftime, when he kicked and regathered to score, as the nail in the coffin for his side.
"We want to be a benchmark footy club and we weren't today. Parts of the game were positive but parts I was very disappointed with," he said.
"That try early in the second half really hurt us."

Astros fall victim to Tribe's walk-off
McHugh battles through 5 1/3, but Houston manages just three hits
CLEVELAND --- With the score tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, Houston Astros manager Bo Porter turned the game over to rookie reliever Jake Buchanan.
In turn, three Indians rookies contributed to the winning rally in the ninth inning as Cleveland rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Astros on Saturday night at Progressive Field.
Rookie shortstop Jose Ramirez singled in rookie pinch-hitter Tyler Holt with the winning run following a sacrifice bunt by rookie catcher Roberto Perez, pinning the loss on Buchanan.
"In that situation, a tie game in the ninth inning, you turn the ball over to the long man and it's his game until you bring in the closer," Porter said.
Holt pinch-hit for right fielder Chris Dickerson and hit a leadoff single. After Perez bunted Holt up a base, Michael Bourn walked.
Both runners moved up on a wild pitch on a 2-2 count before Ramirez lined the next pitch to left field for his game-winning single and the Indians' 10th walk-off win of the season.
"On 2-2, [Ramirez] checked his swing and foul-tipped a curveball. I went back to the curve and buried it, and it ended up being a wild pitch," Buchanan said. "We had a base open and I tried to nibble because I didn't want to walk him with probably their best batter [Michael Brantley] on deck. [Ramirez] kind of committed to the outside fastball and went down and got it."
The Astros lost for just the second time in their last six games as they built a 2-0 lead in the third inning but couldn't hold it. They dropped to 13-22 in one-run games.
Buchanan felt the key part of the winning rally was Holt's single.
"That first batter, he's kind of an ambush hitter," Buchanan said. "The scouting report said he swings at 50 percent of first pitches and I threw him a fastball down the middle. It kind of went downhill from there."
Cody Allen got the win after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning, the last of four pitchers who combined on a three-hitter. He took the loss Friday night when the Astros scored four runs in the ninth to win, 5-1.
"We had a good streak offensively where we were scoring a lot of runs and swinging the bats well, but we've had a couple of games here where we haven't swung the bats well," Porter said. "We have faith in our guys, though. They'll start swinging the bats and things are going to turn around."
Neither starting pitcher factored in the decision.
The Astros' Collin McHugh, who had won his previous two starts, allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings while walking one and striking out two. He has a 1.76 ERA in his last five starts.
"The fastball command wasn't great today and they had eight lefties in the lineup so I knew I'd be cutter-heavy going into it," McHugh said. "Ideally, you'd like to have a better mix of pitches and I didn't really have my curveball. You battle with what you got, and that's what I had to do."
The Indians' Danny Salazar gave up two runs --- one earned --- and three hits in six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts. He had lost his previous two starts.
Ramirez, Lonnie Chisenhall and Dickerson had two hits each for the Indians.
The Astros took a 2-0 lead in the third inning when Jose Altuve hit a two-out single to right field that scored Jake Marisnick. Robbie Grossman also scored from first base on the play when Dickerson, the right fielder, threw wildly to home plate in an attempt to get Marisnick, raising the Indians' error total to a Major League-high 100.
The Indians made it 2-1 when Brantley broke an 0-for-15 slump with a two-out RBI single in the third inning, and Bourn drove in a run with a groundout in the fourth to make it 2-2.
"It's a heck of a lot better hearing music after a game," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "And this one wasn't easy, but we did some things. We got some bunts down. We forced the issue a little bit. They made a couple errors that helped us and we're playing at home with the last at-bat."

Is there a way that I can do an MySQL query and find only one record per year?
I need to confirm that there is at least one game for a baseball team for a particular year.
Right now I am having to find all the games for all the years, then use array_unique to strip out the duplicate years.
For example, the teams below would have the following records.Team A: 40 games + 42 games + 38 games equals 120 gamesTeam B: 42 games + 43 games equals 85 gamesTeam C: 38 games + 40 games equals 78 games
(Note: I had to use Html <pre> tag to get my columns to line up)
Games Per Season
2012 2013 2014
Team A 40 42 38
Team B 0 42 43
Team C 38 40 0
I can do a query for Team A and find all the years for which Team A had games. That returns 120 games. Then use array_unique() to strip out the duplicate years. The years array for Team A will then have three elements. The years array would look like: array(0=>2012, 1=>2013,2=>2014)
I can do a query for Team B and find all the years for which Team B had games. That returns 85 games. Then use array_unique() to strip out the duplicate years. The years array for Team A will then have just two elements (since there are games for only two years). The years array for Team B would look like: array(0=>2013, 1=>2014)
I can do a query for Team C and find all the years for which Team C had games. That returns 78 games. Then use array_unique() to strip out the duplicate years. The years array for Team C will then also have just two elements (since there are games for only two years). The years array for Team C would look like: array(0=>2012, 1=>2013)
OK, assuming you've got a table structure like this:
Table format:Game AwayTeamID HomeTeamID GameDateTeam TeamID TeamName
You'll need to get a count of home games per year, union them with a count of away games per year, and then get a total count from there. Something like this (not checked for syntax since I don't have mySQL available - this is converted from SQL Server
SELECT TeamName , GameYear , SUM(GameCount) FROM (SELECT TeamName , DATE_FORMAT(GameDate, '%Y') AS GameYear , COUNT(*) GameCount FROM Team T JOIN Game G ON T.TeamID = G.AwayTeamID GROUP BY TeamName , DATE_FORMAT(GameDate, '%Y') UNION ALL SELECT TeamName , DATE_FORMAT(GameDate, '%Y') AS GameYear , COUNT(*) GameCount FROM Team T JOIN Game G ON T.TeamID = G.HomeTeamID GROUP BY TeamName , DATE_FORMAT(GameDate, '%Y')) A GROUP BY TeamName , GameYear ORDER BY TeamName , GameYear
so you want to run a query with two literals hardcoded in, the team id and the year?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM games WHERE teamid = 'A' AND year = 2013
this just seems way too easy
perhaps you would like to re-state the requirement?
Year is what I am trying to find. All I want to do is see Team A, Team B, and Team C have at least one game each year.
The select statement below is returning:120 records for Team A (needs to be 2012, 2013, 2014 - only three records) 85 records for Team B (needs to be 2013, 2014 - only two records) 78 records for Team C (needs to be 2012, 2013 - only two records)
I then have to use array_unique to remove the duplicate years.
All I need to do is verify if there is/is not at least one game per year for each team.
SELECT Year FROM Games
this is different from what you previously posted
for all teams, in other words?
your specifications need polish
A different way of looking at the problem is that I need one db query to tell me the below:
Does Team A have games for 2012? True or False: TrueDoes Team A have games for 2013? True or False: TrueDoes Team A have games for 2014? True or False: True
Does Team B have games for 2012? True or False: FalseDoes Team B have games for 2013? True or False: TrueDoes Team B have games for 2014? True or False: True
Does Team C have games for 2012? True or False: TrueDoes Team C have games for 2013? True or False: TrueDoes Team C have games for 2014? True or False: False
I have had the same problem before (working on a baseball score website) and have yet to figure it out.
I have an "SQL for Dummies" book, it's a pretty good book, and it does not seem to have the answer.
The first response by DaveMaxwell is so complicated I might study on it for a week and still not figure it out.
MySQL may not have the functionality to do this kind of select query without complex coding.
It's not complicated - I gave you a best guess based on the limited information you provided (and a misunderstanding of your problem).
I assumed two tables, one for team information, and one for the games played, with the teams defined as home and away in those games. My query counted each home game for each team per year, then each away game for each team per year, and gave you a total played for each team broken down by year.
So if:
You would get the following result
Notice that Team B has no 2011 record, nor does Team C have no 2013 record. So your PHP would have to handle the empties accordingly.
Rudy's suggestion of just querying for the criteria you're looking for in simpler queries may be the right answer. Or if you want to just see the years which the teams played in, you could do something like:
[sql]SELECT TeamID , DATE_FORMAT(GameDate, '%Y') AS GameYear FROM Games GROUP BY TeamID , DATE_FORMAT(GameDate, '%Y') AS GameYearHAVING COUNT(*) > 1[/sql]
once again your specs are wavering all over the place
from this latest post, it looks like you want exactly 9 rows of information produced -- for only those three teams, for only those three years
is that correct?
also, it would be a good idea to show us your table -- please do a SHOW CREATE TABLE for it
Actually, there are 302 teams. I was just trying to simplify the problem.
The number of D1 teams fluctuate each year. Year before last there were 297 teams. They vary. There are about 9,000 D1 games per year. Each team has about 50 to 60 games.
I need to find out which teams played D1 games for 2012, for 2013, and for 2014.
Did team 1 play games in all three years? Did team 2 play games in all three years. Did team 3 etc. etc etc.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Less than one week since a deadly shooting sent 11 people to the hospital, people are demanding the violence stop.
The group Hurting Families With Children In Crime launched a march through the Brooklyn neighborhood near downtown. It's the scene of Sunday's block party shooting where the gunmen are still on the loose.
For 3 hours neighbors and activists walked with signs asking for justice and praying for a safer community.
"I know how it feels to lose somebody and watch somebody suffer just for no reason," said Tiambar Hollis, who helped organize the walk to help families of other victims. Her daughter Tiphne was shot and killed in March 2010.
"We want justice, we need justice," shouted the crowd as they marched around the neighborhood in the heat, holding signs, and hoping that someone who knows something will say something.
Lisa Burney's pregnant niece was one of 11 shot at Sunday's block party. The baby didn't make it.
"We need people to come out and talk until it touches their family or their lives," said Burney. "They don't know how it feels."
"Now that Shantae's been discharged (from the hospital), there's a baby funeral that has to be planned for you know, and it's not fair to her," said Burney. "These were innocent people, they didn't ask to be shot. They were just out here having a good time. It was an innocent party with innocent people."
Like the families of other victims on the walk, they still don't know who's responsible.
"It hurts, it hurts really bad like no other feeling, it really hurts, and just to know that somebody out there knows something, it hurts even more," said Hollis.
Marchers shouted and kept shouting up and down the blocks to make sure their voices were heard. And they prayed they'd get through to some of these neighbors?so they don't have to go through the pain they're feeling?pain that never goes away.
"Innocent people got hurt and everybody needs to know that the crimes and the violence, it just needs to stop," said Hollis.
Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS (8477) or the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500.

Mammary cancer occurs much less frequently in cats than dogs, but when it does occur, it is often malignant and difficult to treat. Mammary cancer is the third most common cancer in cats. Mammary cancer is likely to strike 1 in 4,000 cats. While this is about half the rate as in dogs, when cats develop mammary cancer it is often fatal. There is a strong correlation between early spaying and a reduced incidence of the disease. If mammary cancer is caught early, the treatment is more often successful. This article will help familiarize the cat owner with appearance and treatment of this deadly cancer.
Which cats are at risk for developing mammary cancer?
Any adult female cat can develop mammary cancer, but the average age is usually 10-14 years of age. Siamese cats appear to have a genetic predisposition for developing mammary cancer and are twice as likely to develop it as other breeds. Unspayed females are at a much greater risk of developing mammary cancer. Female cats that were spayed after having one to several heat cycles, with or without having kittens, are also at a greater risk than a cat that was spayed before her first heat cycle. Although rare, mammary cancer can occur in male cats.
What are the types of mammary cancer in cats?
Studies reveal that 85% of mammary tumors in cats are malignant adenocarcinomas. The tumors that make up the other 15% include duct papillomas, sarcomas, and adenomas. Adenocarcinomas are very aggressive tumors and often metastasize to the surrounding lymph nodes and lungs.
What are the symptoms of mammary tumors in cats?
What is the treatment?
Treatment usually consists of surgical removal of the tumor and the surrounding mammary gland. Some surgeons recommend complete removal of the entire mammary gland chain. These tumors are extremely aggressive and because of the high incidence of metastasis with adenocarcinomas, an aggressive treatment approach is necessary. Proper identification of the removed tumor is always recommended to help determine if further treatments are necessary. Chemotherapy is often used in combination with surgical removal to increase survivability rates. Because of the technical expertise needed to properly administer the newest and most effective chemotherapy drugs, a consultation with a boarded veterinary oncologist is recommended.
What is the prognosis for cats with mammary cancer?
While the initial treatment for cats with mammary cancer may be successful, the long-term outcome is usually guarded. Up to 65% of surgically removed tumors will reoccur within a year. Unfortunately, most cats survive less than a year after initial diagnosis. However, cats who receive aggressive treatment on small tumors that are caught early may live 2 to 3 years.
How is mammary cancer prevented?
While mammary cancer in cats is not completely preventable, there are several precautions owners can take to decrease the incidence of this disease. The first is to make sure their cats are spayed before they come into their first heat. There is a strong correlation between early spaying and a reduction in the incidence of mammary tumors in cats.
The second precaution is to avoid the use of progesterone-like drugs, which can increase the incidence of mammary cancer in cats. These drugs are still occasionally used to treat miliary dermatitis and some behavior disorders in cats. Owners of female cats need to weigh the risk versus the potential benefits of using these drugs in their cats.
Finally, owners should be sure their cats get regular, thorough veterinary checkups. Owners can perform their own mini checkups by feeling for any lumps or bumps, particularly in the mammary area. Early detection and treatment is very important in the successful treatment and outcome of mammary cancer in cats.

WHILE the local non-league scene has been decimated by rain in recent weeks, New College boss Rob Hopkins is hoping the wet weather will bring about a resurgence for the much-maligned Supplementary Cup.
Hopkins and his students take on Carterton in the second round of the competition tomorrow in what will be only their second game since the middle of December due to the wet weather and the continual downpours in and around Swindon.
The likes of Highworth manager John Fisher have regularly been vocal in their criticism of the cup in recent years but for Hopkins, who has a larger squad to play with than his local rivals, the chance to play extra games is a blessing.
Furthermore, Hopkins now expects other teams to start taking the competition more seriously due to the recent dearth in action.
"It seems like we haven't played for 20,000 weeks so we are just looking forward to getting a game in after training quite well this week," he said. "The guys are screaming for a game.
"I would quite happily have a load more cup competitions and a load more games because it allows us to put the lads through a proper games programme which is what they really need for their development.
"I'm probably in the extreme minority because a lot of managers around here don't enjoy the competition but I like the cup and it's good for what we're trying to do.
"I would think most teams who are left in it would take it seriously because they haven't played.
"I would be surprised if they don't because it's a great chance to get a game in for once and a good chance to take a cup seriously."
In Hellenic Premier action this weekend, Shrivenham travel to Wantage and Wootton Bassett travel Oxford City Nomads while Highworth's visit to Abingdon Town will almost certainly be postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Herbalix does not use parabens, synthetic preservatives, phthalates, propylene, dyes, fillers, metals, sulfates or emulsifiers in any of their products. From creams to dirty air and environmental toxins, what is absorbed through the skin is transported throughout the body. Herbalix Restoratives' mission is to provide organic and natural alternatives to chemical and environmental irritants. They buy raw materials from proven suppliers that extract their oils without chemicals, using clean processing methods. Many body care products are full of synthetic chemicals, many of which are derived from petroleum. Just how does Herbalix benefit my skin?Herbalix uses only the finest ingredients when formulating their products. There are no parabens, phthalates, petroleum, or fillers used in the making of their formulations. They also go to great lengths to avoid Refined, Bleached and Deodorized (RBD) oils. Every Herbalix Restoratives product contains Herbalix, their proprietary blend of sixty herbs and botanicals harvested from land and sea. Herbalix has proven to be not only an extremely effective, all natural preservative system, but a boost to skin health and vitality as well. The herbs used in Herbalix have a long and documented history of use by Chinese, East Indian and Native American cultures. Herbalix has a proven track record of successfully benefiting troublesome skin conditions as is detailed in our lengthy list of testimonials. Why are refined, bleached and deodorized ingredients bad for me? It is easy and cost effective to utilize RBD oils when manufacturing cosmetic and toiletry products. These oils are usually inexpensive, and it is much easier to formulate using them, as they are relatively free of scent and/or color. On the other hand, this ease of use comes at a cost to the consumer. RBD oils have been Refined, Bleached and Deodorized. They are completely devoid of any skin beneficial nutrients. These oils are processed at very high temperatures, at times cooked to almost 400 degrees. This heating destroys all of the natural components of the oil; the enzymes, minerals, essential fatty acids and vitamins. It is not so much that RBD oils are bad for the skin; it's just that they aren't good for the skin! Using non-RBD oils means that we go out of our way to provide you with skin beneficial ingredients in all of the Herbalix Restoratives products. Their oils will not plug the pores of the skin, or interfere with cellular respiration. They are easily absorbed and utilized by the skin tissues, delivering to the consumer powerful and effective results. Why is "chemical and petroleum free" important? It is important to avoid chemical and petroleum based products because the body does not recognize these compounds. These synthetic ingredients have no beneficial properties for the skin and are therefore rejected, causing inflammation and skin problems in many cases. Chemical and petroleum-based ingredients can cause adverse effects once trapped in skin tissues, causing damage to the skin. Petroleum based ingredients like mineral oil can also cause photosensitivity, creating a condition by which sun damage occurs at an easy, accelerated rate. These ingredients can also cause existing skin conditions to worsen with extended use. Is Nubian Goat's Milk really all that special?Goat's milk is uniquely different from cows' milk in the concentration and form of its nutrients. Compared with cows' milk, Goat's milk contains 13% more calcium, 25% more vitamin B6, 47% more vitamin A, 134% more potassium and 350% more niacin. It is also higher in chloride, copper and manganese. Goat's milk soap contains peptides that increase the skin's collagen production and leaves skin looking firmer, while reducing lines and wrinkles. Goat's milk is full of vitamins. It contains vitamin A, and several B vitamins including riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12. Alpha-hydroxy acids found naturally in Goat's milk have rejuvenating effects on skin cells, neutralizing free radicals and slowing the aging process. Nubian goat milk has a higher fat content and leaves less soap residue on the skin. Goat's milk has also been shown to have hypo allergenic properties and benefits. It is great for use on troubled skin and is excellent for use as a gentle yet thorough facial cleanser. Goat milk lowers the PH levels in soap which helps to maintain the natural PH in skin.

text: Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company (AWSC) has selected the Calibre® nmDRC™ and nmLVS™ products as their golden signoff physical verification solution for GaAs ICs targeted for mobile and other wireless applications. As part of their foundry offering, AWSC will provide the Calibre design rule decks to its customers to help them ensure their designs are error-free and meet all foundry requirements before submitting them to AWSC manufacturing. "We moved to Calibre for our new offerings to take advantage of its highly efficient commands and unique capabilities not available in other products, such as equation-based DRC, which makes it easier to implement complex design rules for RF applications," said Louis Lu, manager of product development engineering at AWSC. "Calibre is widely used by our fastest growing customers, and it works seamlessly in any of the design flows our customers use, including the Agilent ADS custom RF design platform. Also very important in our decision is the high level of product support and application knowledge we receive from Mentor." "We're pleased to see the adoption of Calibre for state-of-the-art RF ICs such as those fabricated by AWSC," said Shu-Wen Chang, director of Calibre Foundry Programs at Mentor Graphics. "AWSC's adoption of Calibre for advanced GaAs ICs for RF applications is part of a growing worldwide trend to use the most advanced Calibre technologies for larger feature size applications. Our mutual customers are pushing much more complex designs through processes initially developed for simpler geometric data, particularly in mobile applications (e.g. smart phones, tablets, etc.) where AMS/RF processes are increasingly important." One example of advanced features being used by AWS is the Calibre nmDRC product's equation-based DRC (eqDRC) facility, which fills the void between traditional DRC and DFM process simulators. Some design rules are simply too complex to capture with traditional DRC measurements and rule tables. Equation-based DRC allows these rules to be expressed as complex multi-variable equations, enabling precise and accurate characterizations of complex 2D and 3D interactions that have a direct impact on manufacturability. Equation-based DRC brings user extensibility and fast runtimes to a whole host of new design and process interactions. It also provides precise numerical feedback allowing users to make reliable design tradeoffs, and to quickly determine the best fix. AWSC is a pure foundry service company located in Hsin-shi, Taiwan, which specializes in fabbing Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) fabricated with GaAs HBT, pHEMT/IPD and GaAs/Ge CPV processes for smart phone and WiFi applications.

"Design is a funny word.
Some people think design means how it looks.
But of course, if you dig deeper,
it's really how it works."
—Steve Jobs
The seemingly ubiquitous nature of the late Steve Jobs' influence in our lives took on a new context for me upon reading his quote above.
It's not that I didn't understand his genius—clearly, anyone living in the industrialized world in the past couple of decades understands that the way in which we listen to music or read books (or do just about anything) has changed enduringly. It's that I saw him as a brilliant techie with cooler products than his archrival from that other, far less trendy software company, rather than someone who fundamentally understands the nature of design, which he clearly did.
I know some of you are probably wondering what sort of rock I've been living under or how I am so late at arriving at this somewhat trivial observation. It's not that I didn't know it at some intuitive level, but rather, in reading his words and considering their impact now that he has passed, I'm seeing them in a different light. You know, sort of how your clients react when they have that "a-ha!" moment and finally understand that the designs you are creating go so much deeper than surface appearance, and cut to the core of what it is they want to do and the manner in which they want to do it.
Once your eyes have been opened, it's impossible to imagine how you hadn't made the correlation before. I wondered the same thing of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while researching, interviewing and writing this issue's cover story on their recent completion of Building 24, a new administrative office, designed by tvsdesign, located on their Roybal Campus in Atlanta. Given the critical nature of its work, I was surprised to learn that, until early 2000, the employees of the CDC were working
in dilapidated buildings where corridors were packed with freezers
containing pathogenic agents and bio-hazardous materials; in some cases, even the bathrooms were converted into labs.
How could an agency charged with such a critical mission not connect the dots between healthy, functional working conditions and improved outcomes in their research and work? It seems so clear from the outside looking in, but thankfully, the CDC has now completed its 2000-2009 Atlanta Master Plan to upgrade its campuses into facilities worthy of the vital work taking place within them. (To be fair, the master plan was conceived years prior to execution, and as with any bureaucracy, I assume funding wasn't readily available.)
Speaking of disconnects, I was somewhat taken aback by the results of a study released recently by ASID and AIA in conjunction with IMRE, "showing just how skeptical we all are about the sustainable design movement," as our often sardonic blogger, Debbie Designer, put it in her recent blog about the survey titled, "Occupy Sustainable Design." According to the study, only 2 to 3 percent of architects and interior designers are "completely confident" that products they specify that claim to be sustainable actually are. Clearly, design professionals simply either aren't buying manufacturers' sustainability claims, they aren't doing their research, or manufacturers are failing miserably at communicating their message clearly—or worse, outright lying.
Whatever the case, more transparency is needed, and we applaud Perkins+Will and Construction Specialties for launching the industry's first on-product ingredient label at Greenbuild this year. Designed to make environmental and health disclosure easier for any manufacturer who chooses to adopt the template, the label offers a forthright declaration of the make-up of a product and its potential impacts in multiple formats. We hope it catches on.
Despite any trepidation you may have about green products, we know you have opinions about which products and furnishings are your favorites, as the results of our third annual Readers' Choice Awards attest. While we can't make any claims to their environmental impacts, we do know the winners that we featured in the magazine this year have resonated with you in one way or another—and that's a connection we're happy to make.

Thanks to a Facebook friend, I found this story on the supposed planned "end of the internet," as it were, at which time only commercial websites within subscription packages will be accessible. Sounds to me like a good way to control the dissemination of information. It made me think of the inestimable Noam Chomsky, who, even if he is a socialist, is also an anarchist, and that makes him cool in my book. He once said this:
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."

Shane Sutton, the head coach for the GB cycling team, has been hospitalised with bleeding on the brain following a road accident while on his bike.
The news adds to what has been a troubled 24 hours for British Cycling following the incident which saw Tour de France and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins admitted to hospital after a collision with a vehicle on Wednesday.
"British Cycling has confirmed that Shane Sutton, head coach for the GB cycling team, was involved in an incident this morning on the A6 near Levenshulme in Manchester," said a spokesperson for British Cycling. "Shane was taken into hospital where it was identified he has suffered bruising and bleeding on the brain. Shane was wearing a helmet. He is set to undergo more tests, and is likely to stay in hospital for the next few days."
The spokesperson added: "It is extremely rare that our riders and coaches are hurt while out cycling on the road, even rarer that two incidents should occur in a short space of time, and we wish Shane and Bradley a speedy recovery.
"Cycling is not an intrinsically dangerous activity but there is much more to be done to improve conditions for cyclists on the roads.
"British Cycling is calling on the government to put cycling at the heart of transport policy to ensure that cycle safety is built into the design of all new roads, junctions and transport projects, rather than being an afterthought."
Police sources said the collision involving Sutton, on his bike, and a Peugeot 206 car took place at about 8.55am near the junction of Stockport Road and Clare Road in Levenshulme. The driver of the Peugeot was not injured and no arrests were made.
Wiggins, 32, was thrown off his bike when a white Vauxhall Astra Envoy is thought to have pulled out of a petrol station and collided with him.
A police source said his injuries from the crash were thought to be very serious at first, but later it appeared he suffered a number of broken ribs and cuts and bruises. He was released from hospital on Thursday afternoon.
The accident happened at about 6pm on Wednesday in Wrightington, Lancashire, which is near to his family home in Eccleston. The driver of the Astra, a local woman, was uninjured.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Vandals have destroyed an Ohio high school's stained-glass window portraying the Virgin Mary.
Principal Marian Hutson tells The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/Icw5LX) damage to the window overlooking a stairwell at Bishop Watterson High School is estimated at $39,000. She says the schools mothers' club purchased it after three years of saving.
Surveillance camera footage from early Sunday appears to show three men using a fire hydrant cap to bust the window.
The window was insured, but will takes months to replace. Hutson says it is made by hand.

Calls for a new town in the North are being "ignored", according to an Ilkley ward councillor. Councillor Anne Hawkesworth (Ind, Ilkley) says a leaked Government report only makes reference to the South, and does not take on board her suggestion of a new town in West Yorkshire, south of Bradford, which she suggested to planning minister Nick Boles last year. "It is clearly essential to be looking towards the semi- brownfield areas abutting the motorway on the boundaries of Bradford Leeds and Kirklees," she said.

help me to do an research design
?? incomplete post??
Since you question lacks necessary details, perhaps some review of the experimental method might be helpful.
An independent variable is the potential stimulus or cause, usually directly manipulated by the experimenter, so it could also be called a manipulative variable.
A dependent variable is the response or measure of results.
Extraneous variables — other than the independent variable — potentially can affect the dependent variable, so they must be controlled. If possible, you try to keep them constant between the experimental and control group.
The experimental group receives the independent variable.
The control group is similar to experimental, except it does not receive the independent variable. Extraneous variables are balanced between experimental and control groups.
Types of experiments
1. Single blind gives the control group a placebo — a substance that is inert, it has no physical effect. Subjects don't know if they are in experimental or control group to reduce placebo effect, a change in behavior solely due to believing that you are getting the independent variable.
2. Double blind keeps both subjects and experimenter ignorant of group setup. Distribution of the independent variable and placebo are controlled by third party. This controls for experimenter bias and self-fulfilling prophecy, which means that experimenters with particular expectations are likely to consciously or unconsciously to bias the experiment and influence it to conform to their expectations.
As an example, suppose you want to find out if fluorides reduce dental cavities. You would find two groups, trying to control the extraneous variables. Extraneous variables are found by surveying previous research in the area. In this case, you would match the groups in terms of previous history of cavities, diet and dental hygiene habits including how and how often they brush their teeth.
The experimental group would get toothpaste with the independent variable, the fluoride, while the control group would not have the fluoride in their toothpaste. The toothpaste without the fluoride would be the placebo.
The dependent variable would be the number of cavities after participating in the experiment for a time. The dependent variable indicates the results, but it is not the results. At the end of the experiment, both groups could have no change in cavities or one of the groups could have a greater reduction in cavities. (Of course, if the fluoride increased cavities, you wouldn't want to use it.) All of these varied results would be indicated in terms of the dependent variable.
If only the subjects do not know who is getting the fluoride, it is a single blind experiment. If both the subjects and experimenter do not know, it is a double blind.
I hope this helps. If not, repost with more details. Thanks for asking.

Short Bytes: NVIDIA's SHIELD Tabletby Jarred Walton on 7/29/2014 1:38 PM EST

jjj - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkMade a comment about the size somewhere on AT,trying to look at volume over similar tablets and you can even look at volume per screen area to factor in differences in scree sizes and AR. If you compare it to the Tab S 8.4 the Shield is quite huge not just heavy.
For a mobile device,mobility is important, for a pocketable device even more so and 8 inch is pocketable for some.
No wifi ac , not great screen and no emmc 5 are not exactly a plus.
As for the price,300$ is just too much for any 8 inch tablet ,even if it was high res. Sure some are pricing their products well above that, but that's no reason to accept it as reasonable. You also got a bunch of A53 based SoCs from Qualcomm, Mediatek , Marvell and a bunch of A17 and A15 based SoCs from Mediatek, Rockchip and Allwinner.all arriving now. Qualcomm actually just said they'll launch the 810 this year, no idea if launch means ship or devices in stores( my bet is on the Nexus phone to be using it but remains to be seen)
So no thanks,as a tablet is so not good enough, as a gaming tablet maybe it is but not very sure Nvidia should aim to make just a gaming tablet. I've been waiting for a while for a good enough tablet and was looking forward to this one so it was a rather huge let down. Guess i'll end up with some China tab that makes a lot more sense.
If it was 250$ and a lot more compact it would be lovely , if it was same body just thinner and 8.8 inch screen at 300$ i would have at least considered it as an option. Reply
ArthurG - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkEveryone has his own opinion but I don't agree with yours. For me, the price is well positioned. It's really easy to forget the incredible performance and say that every other parameter is meh. But no, SHIELD Tablet is, before anything else, the fastest Android device, and not by small margin, but more than 2 times faster than the closest competition on the heavy Manhattan test. The price is very cheap for this performance, and other parameters are very descent, so I'm ordering one, like many people on Amazon (in Top 5 bestseller tablets now) Reply
jjj - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkThe performance is not just the GPU , and the SOC is just a 25-30$ part and being the fastest today means little especially when you might be way slow in just a few months (Snapdragon 810 is quad A57 plus quad A53 and cat 6 LTE on 20nm. A57 is supposed to be quite a bit faster, 20nm adds quite a bit more to that and then software optimized for V8 even more). Other SoCs that are showing up might not be that slow compared to TK1 and you don't really have the software for TK1 anyway while the tablet is just 1200p.
Then if you want TK1 for w/e reason ,there is the Xiaomi Mipad with higher res screen and similar price for western buyers but prices will drop a bit when there will be better supply. That one is 4:3 so maybe a deal breaker for many. And there will be other TK1 devices ofc. Sure they might not have some of the gaming but i stated in my comment that it's not good enough as a tablet but might be as a gaming tablet. Reply
mutil0r - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkBut isn't that also applicable to other SoC vendors? The S810 (which is still more than a few months away) will, within a few months of its arrival, be supplanted by whatever Intel or Nvidia push out next.
Heck, if TK1's performance is anything to go by, you can be certain that Nvidia's Erista with a Maxwell gpu will likely destroy whatever Qualcomm or Intel have in store. Looking at what Nvidia has with them now and what will be available next year, Erista will likely be maxwell paired with some evolution of Denver or maybe A57/A53 combo.
Fact of the matter (as hard as you find it to believe) is that this tablet is awesome, especially for the price. Do I want more for my money? Obviously...who doesn't. But that does not mean Shield tablet is lacking or bad in any way. Reply
jjj - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkAs i understood your comment ,you suggested it deserves some kind of significant premium because it is very fast and i don't agree with that. Now ,this is not about the SoC anyway, it is about the tablet. Yes the SoC is rather exciting today and i would love a tablet with it but not this one.
The fact is that it's like 45% bigger ,volume wise, than the Tab S 8.4 if we look at a very compact tablet as the benchmark. It also has a 10% smaller screen by area and you can find better value elsewhere.maybe not at Best Buy but that's not a problem. And it is lacking , it is lacking wifi ac , it is lacking in screen quality it's by no means high end,corners have been cut. And the bulk is bad ,over 9 mm thick today is ridiculous. Reply
ArthurG - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkAgain it's you opinion and you can't expect anybody to agree with you.
Tab S8.4 ? GPU slow as hell with Touchwiz crap UI that is a total no go. it can be as thin as it wants but it doesn't suit me.
On the other side, if I want max performance that will permit me to play Android 3D games for the next 2 years, with stock android and timely updates, then SHIELD tablet is the best choice. Reply
jjj - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkAs i said this is not about the SoC, it's about the package and this is not hte only Tegra K1 product we will see. Right now it's just this one and the Xiaomi but we'll see more and even now the Xiaomi is 240$ in China (300 more or less outside but that price will drop) while having higher res and wifi ac.The comparison with the Samsung was about size and what others are doing when it comes to ergonomics/design.And if you cared about the long term you would wait for 64 bit SoCs on 20nm not go for anything on the market now.
You got excited about the SoC and you are ignoring everything else. Yes the SoC is rather exciting but Nvidia should have done a lot better with the tablet. This is not a Nexus gen one moment or first Amazon tablet moment but it could have been given how exciting the SoC is and how terrible the Android tablet landscape is right now (outside China i guess ,since there things are much better). Last year we had no great tablet launched when factoring in the price too, nothing really exciting, even the Nexus was rather daft and sales are in line the products available to us. World wide tablet sales have slowed down in a big way, When it comes to Android gaming ,it would have mattered a lot if this SoC would have sold really well , devs are not going to invest in games for it if there isn't a big install base. Would be nice to have better Android games but this is not going to do it. In the end if Nvidia was only interested about promoting gaming they would price it at 200$ and make no money on it , they could have made a better device,sell it cheaper and make more money on volume but this just seems a missed opportunity.

Morawka - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkI read all of your responses, and to be frank, your totally missing the point of how versatile of a device this is.
This device can be used for the following:
* Tablet for surfing the web and playing games
* Roku 3 box for your tv with better performance or i should say Amazon Fire box since it has voice control.
* A Mobile Netflix station with the best speakers ever put into a tablet, with native 1080p streaming.
* WebTV Box for surfing the web on your tv (complete with mouse cursor and keyboard via bluetooth)
* Gaming Console for travel, Both Android games and Nvidia K1 games (the list will get bigger this year)
* Brings your PC Gaming to any room that has a TV in your house (via hdmi out)
* A digital art tool for painting and drawing
* A One Note machine for annotating pdf's or any other document
* A Skype station with amazing front facing camera and stereo front facing speakers
* A mobile Plex Media Server with 128GB micro SD card support and USB OTG support for External HDD's
* A mobile SNES, N64, PSP, PS2, Emulator Station with low latency controller (none of that bluetooth crap)
* A Universal Remote with apps (this is the tablet to take to bed with you)
My point being, sure it could be slimmer, and sexier, but this is a feature heavy tablet that is 100% the most versatile tablet in this price range. Reply

mutil0r - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkWhat I said was that it is well worth the $299 price.
The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 you're referring to is $399. For a $100 less, the Shield tablet gives you an order of magnitude better performance, much better speakers, a stylus, a decent screen, and decent wifi...all on top of the gaming features which no one else has come close to offering (gamestream, grid, Twitch streaming etc.).
Would you have bought this device if it had 802.11ac, were less than 9mm and cost $399 instead? Reply
Wolfpup - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkWhat premium? This is cheaper than Amazon's ridiculous tablet. The price seems fine, I just wish it had a bigger screen. Reply

1. Reads review
2. Reads specs
3. Swaps this for this, that for this, and this for that
4. Would also like it to drive him/her home, do laundry and feed dog
5. Oh, and it has to be $50 to $100 less than whatever the listed price is
6. Was really hoping to get the device, but because it doesn't do 3,4 and 5, no bueno Reply
mkozakewich - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkHa, yeah. Like:

Wow. Reply
Dylansdad - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI read comments like that when I need a good laugh. It's always entertaining :) Reply
savagemike - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkYeah - it's bigger and heavier. But when stuff is toothpick thick and the weight of a feather then it really isn't much of a problem to deal with 2x weight and thickness even.
And for that you get performance. Not just the processing but also everything I've read says the sound is a lot better than other tablets generally. That'd be nice. Reply
Bob Todd - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkPricing seems quite reasonable to me, and I'm cheap. A 32GB WiFi/LTE Retina iPad Mini is $629. I'm pretty sure $500 is less than $629. And that $629 doesn't include the smart cover or a good controller. So apples to apples would be about $500 vs $729. You also get a mostly unmolested Android experience which so far has a better track record for updates than most OEMs. Reply
ArthurG - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - link" the K1 GPU delivers the goods, topping the charts in most of our graphics benchmarks."
"one of the fastest Android tablets around"
Sorry Jarred, are you kidding ? is it so difficult to admit that SHIELD Tablet is THE and BY FAR fastest android tablet ? Don't we see the same numbers ? more than 2 times the performance of the mighty A7 under Manhattan and 2 times faster than the not yet available S805 ?
if Apple came with something this performance, blowing away the competition by miles, I can't imagine the superlative adjective you will come with... but no, instead it's like you are disgusted that Nvidia delivers...
So for the readers of Anand, SHIELD Tablet IS IN A TOTALLY SEPARATE LEAGUE when comes to performance. It must be said. Period. Reply
mrdude - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkGPU performance? Sure. But that's only one aspect of an SoC, and definitely a tablet SoC. For example, the vast majority of people looking to buy a new Android tablet would be better off with a GPU that's lower performance but better perf-per-watt//battery life. The same can be said for WiFi performance and storage as well.
As a gaming tablet it's bar none the best product out there and by a massive margin. But as a tablet/consumption device? I'm not so sure. The Shield tablet has a niche and would be a decent buy for anyone looking for a tablet, but the GPU performance is (understandably) overemphasized. I'd like to buy this, but I'd want 32GB w/o LTE and perhaps a 10" form factor. It's also a bit bulky compared to the competition Reply
ArthurG - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - link"the vast majority of people looking to buy a new Android tablet would be better off with a GPU that's lower performance but better perf-per-watt//battery life"
that's the beauty of the performance / battery control center that nvidia offers. You can adjust the performance of the CPU and the GPU. You can even cap the max fps. The difference between battery saving mode and max perf mode is around 50%, bringing SHIELD Tablet on par with other low performance devices when comes to battery life. Great no ? Reply
mrdude - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkGreat? No. That's reaching par with the competition.
What's still not 'great' is that 32GB requires purchase of LTE and means a hefty premium. Furthermore, it's still too chunky for a modern tablet (gotta cool that Tegra K1 somehow). And the stylus, while nice, is wasted on an 8" display. There's still no .ac WiFi either.
Don't get me wrong. It's a very nice device, but it fills the role of 'gaming tablet' better than it does a regular tablet. For those not focused on a gaming device, a Nexus 7 is still a better buy. Reply
ArthurG - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkReaching par with the competition ? LOL and when I need max performance where's competition ? Stop to see only things from one side...
and BTW SHIELD tablet with nvidia own version of app2SD can run software from microSD cards. it's even compatible with 128GB models ! Sandisk 32GB class 10 is less than $10... Reply
Morawka - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linklol at you complaining about a $100 incease to go from 16GB to 32GB with LTE.
Here's what ipad mini retina does:
$399 for 16GB ipad mini retina
i want to upgrade to 32GB with LTE
ok so that's
$100 for Nand upgrade, and another $130 for LTE
Total price for 32GB LTE iPad Mini Retina = $629.00
TLDR: Apple charges $230 for 32GB LTE, Nvidia charges $100 and LTE is a bonus Reply
mrdude - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkYou can compare practically anything to Apple electronics and mark it as a 'good deal.' The only point you're making is the obvious one that nobody disagrees with -- Apple's stuff is overpriced.
The comment regarding 32GB was about the lack of a 32GB option w/o LTE. I tend to avoid external storage for any and every device I have (with good reason), and in 2014 a 'gaming tablet' -- or any other tablet/smartphone for that matter -- should come with 32GB standard. NAND is cheap, but companies looking to pad profit margins isn't. Reply
makerofthegames - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkHow good has Nvidia been with regard to software updates? I checked on the older Shield, it seems to get updates about once a month, but is still on an old 4.4.2 as far as I can tell. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spots. I'm considering grabbing one of these, but only if it will still be supported for a few years. Reply
mutil0r - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - link4.4.3 was just a bug fix for Nexus devices. They've been pretty good at keeping the original Shield and the earlier note 7 tablet (i have one) updated. I've usually seen an OTA update every other month on my note 7 since I purchased it. Reply
ArthurG - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkNvidia support on SHIELD has been great. First device out of Nexus to receive Kitkat, lot of upgrades that bring not only bug fixes but also new features. It's the golden standard on Android and they already stated that it will receive L quickly. Reply
jjj - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkNvidia has a lot of software engineers and with no carriers delaying updates it's not bad. With some luck they might even have early access to Android L if any new Nexus is using Tegra so there is a chance they could deliver that update way fast. Reply
kron123456789 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - link"an old 4.4.2"? Seriously? Can you tell what is new in 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 that makes 4.4.2 look old? Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIt pisses me off that Nvidia isn't more serious about the smartphone market. This started when they FAILED in the smartphone market, because they mistakenly designed their chips to consume too much power, in order to beat others on performance (but because of delays they most failed on that, too), and now they've kind of just decided to go along with making "more" powerful chips, that can mainly be put just in tablets.
It's very annoying. They should focus again on smartphones FIRST, and then just overclock or whatever, for their tablet version. It's harder to do it the other way around, when they focus on performance, and build more power-hungry architectures for that, that aren't as suited for phones. Reply
kron123456789 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkTegra K1 isn't a chip for smartphones because it's doesn't have integrated modem. And they lost consumer trust on smaptphone market and to take it back SoC performance isn't enough. Reply
ams23 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkThat is a common misconception. Snapdragon 600 (used in numerous high end smartphones), Snapdragon 805, and certain variants of Snapdragon 800 do not have a modem integrated on die. Apple smartphones do not have a modem integrated on die.
The difficulty in getting into the smartphone market has nothing to do with consumer "trust". Qualcomm is able to effectively bundle their modem with their application processor. Note that certain large wireless providers (such as Verizon and Sprint) have legacy networks that require Qualcomm's WCDMA tech.
FWIW, the expectation is that Tegra K1 will show up in some differentiated high end smartphones by year end. For a smartphone it would probably be sensible to use the Denver 64-bit variant of Tegra K1 due to the improved CPU power efficiency. Reply

I really tried to find something good to say about this dress but the harder I looked at it the more things I found wrong with it! At first glance, it is WAY oversized based on the size chart given to order from. Aside from that, it truly looks very little like the picture shown in the ad... it has tons of threads hanging from it not just from the seams but from every edge that there was. And the seams were wildly uneven. It was easily twice as big as the size chart said it was going to be so obviously can't judge fit. Colors are not vibrant but very muddy and muted. Would not recommend under any circumstance and had I known then what I know now would not have purchased.Read More
