New Zealand will face the not so formidable Namibia in the Pool B clash in the Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo on Sunday. They had an easy win against the Canadians with a score of 63-0 last Wednesday, and therefore they should not have any problems in disposing of the Namibian team as well. Namibia having lost both of their first matches of the tournament will be looking to put up a good performance. They lost to Italy and South Africa.
This time also the Namibian team will have a tough task on their hands. They will try everything to stop the New Zealanders, but the All Blacks with their superior speed and power will eventually blow them away. There will be big changes in the team, and Hansen will make sure the players are fresh and ready to go. A new captain is needed for the side, with the No 8, Kieran Read most probably will get the nod and Whitelock is another player who could fit the bill if his good friend is given a spell.

Phew! It's been a minute y'all. In my tradition of doing the most, the zine appeared at NY Art Book Fair during the same week its Creative Director (that's me) took on a new full time job at Sotheby's.
The last few weeks since the fair have included catching the flu, navigating a new office in midtown, and enjoying a hop over to London for some R&R.
So what happened at the fair? To sum it up quickly; Black folks turned out 😈
Here at the zine we choose events to table with a lot of care, taking into account whether the opportunity will allow us to expose our publication to youth of color interested in new music.
Meeting new punx of color can be hard to do at major art institutions and museums; so we were happy to meet and chat with fans who'd made an effort to visit the fair in support of #Blkgrlswurld and other PoC artists at the event. 💋 We got to meet several of the social media contributors who submitted selfie photos during our open call for the Photo Issue.
The Photo Issue had its debut! An excellent team effort over the summer to dedicate a full color book to women of color changing alternative music. When we were first invited to this NYABF, we knew #Blkgrlswurld needed to bring the community with us into that space. Black goths and brujas in full effect, celebrating heavy ass music and the lives it saves. The book was well received and we nearly sold out. It also inspired a great interest in our "Don't Touch My Hair" pins.
And just to add even more drama to the mix, we also made time during the fair to chat with Wilbur Cooper, a journalist for Mic and Vice, about the special talents of Zeal and Ardor. Zeal and Ardor are a European metal band that happened be performing in Brooklyn the same week as the fair. You can catch some of our conversation with Wilbur on Mic.com.
Up next we'll be sharing what happened during our trip to London this October. Was there metal? Of course there was!

Here's a sneak peak at what I've been working on with regard to roaming in Canada; a reader pointed out that I not sufficiently distinguished between roaming and wholesale at several points, and so I've attempted to clarify where appropriate.
"Don't have a cow, man!" – Bart Simpson
Today the CRTC announced that it will be examining a major competitive problem in the Canadian wireless market – wholesale service and roaming rates. Three cheers for the CRTC, who are acting upon the concern that "some wireless companies may be making it unfairly difficult for Canadian providers that do not operate a national network to compete in the marketplace" (J.P. Blais).
As it stands, Industry Canada has already established a mandatory roaming and tower sharing framework. Currently, however, all facilities-based carriers are obliged to do is offer roaming and tower sharing on commercially negotiated terms. If this were a poker game, it would mean that the established carriers have got the big stack at the table, which explains why the only new entrants and MVNOs we've got now are hamstrung into offering inferior service. Frankly, Bell et al will not offer MVNOs or other competitors terms which would allow the latter to actually compete. Think mandated wholesale in wired broadband (CNOC debacle) is a minefield? At least there is a wholesale market in wired services. Imagine if TekSavvy didn't have recourse to complain to the regulator about unfair treatment (It's not just Teksavvy, it's hundreds of independent Canadian businesses who would disappear overnight without TPIA and GAS/WHSAS). That's what we've got in wireless. Most MVNOs and new entrants who've made a go at it have simply given up or been bought out.
The current "commercially negotiated agreements" approach has turned out to be less of a carrot for incumbent providers than a stick used to fend off competition from the margins. Right now, all we've got is a wild west which gives free reign for the Bell buffalo to buffalo Wind buffalo (Sorry, I may never get another opportunity to use that grammatically correct semantic monstrosity). This has got to change, and as of today, the sky's looking less cloudy and gray.
The CRTC looks to be taking a page out of Ofcom's book (page 22) by recognizing that in the absence of real competition, it must "mimic competitive pressure" with the goal of inducing an efficient, sustainable marketplace. That's what regulated roaming agreements and wholesale are all about. By my estimation, such a market would comprise a mixture of facilities-based providers and competitive MVNOs, with the former competing amongst each other not just for retail but for wholesale revenue as well, while the latter will be empowered to effectively compete for retail customers.
Let me put my cards on the table. First, if the CRTC winds up regulating roaming rates, it would make sense to take it a step farther and institute a mandated wholesale regime. In other words: in wireless, roaming and wholesale go hand in hand; both issues "relate to network interconnection arrangements [and] regimes for access to networks". Second, such a combined system would bolster both the currently struggling fourth facilities-based carrier (Wind) and enable MVNOs to set up shop, experiment with new business models, and exert pricing pressure on the incumbents. We're not talking about a zero-sum game between a fourth carrier (roaming) and MVNOs (wholesale), the two are complements which together represent the most efficient available means to "enable competition from new technologies" without favouring "either Canadian carriers or resellers" (If any of the language in this paragraph sounds familiar to you, it's because I ripped it right out of the Governor in Council's 2006 Policy Direction).
As it stands, Wind's coverage map shows a big orange blob covering most of southern Canada's populated areas – but upon closer examination, Wind's home network is actually limited to a few urban areas. Outside those areas, Wind must negotiate with the incumbents for coverage, and while the terms of those agreements are shrouded in trade secrecy, the result for consumers who stray from their home area is that roaming services are prohibitively expensive in most places – calls cost 20¢ per minute, texts 15¢, and data $1 per MB ($1024/GB!). Without access to reasonable wholesale roaming terms, Wind can't expand its customer base (and therefore its revenues), which it needs to invest in spectrum and related facilities – a bit of a catch 22. What it means to Canada is that we've got a major impediment to sustainable wireless competition – a problem that has spurred the CRTC to announce today that they'll be investigating whether there are unjust anti-competitive practices at play (there are).
On top of that proceeding, the CRTC will be conducting a broader examination into the state of wireless competition, with more details to come in early 2014. This is sorely needed, as we all know, and it's worth noting that this is a clear case of governance done right. The CRTC wasn't exactly on solid ground in 2012 when it affirmed that our market was sufficiently competitive, and now they're willing to examine how to deal with lingering problems. The approach of how to make good on this issue could take any number of forms, but it looks like roaming agreements will be occupying centre stage for the time being, with wholesale service on deck in the new year. Put simply, ensuring non-discriminatory roaming rates is necessary to make carriers like Wind viable – it's the practical route to letting Wind out of the hamster wheel in which it's currently trapped.
A big reason that Wind hasn't gained more market share in its five years of operation is that its customers can't affordably use their phones where Wind doesn't have its own towers. Bell customers don't pay a premium to roam out of Bell areas – because Bell and Telus have a network sharing agreement on fair terms. It is patently unreasonable for Telus to sell roaming capabilities to Bell (and vice versa) at a decent price, while at the same time charging outrageous fees to Wind.
The stumbling block is that right now the infrastructure owners can charge whatever they want for wholesale, whether it's to MVNOs or smaller competitors whose customers need to be able to roam.
Incumbents, beholden to shareholders and in this case at odds with the public interest in efficient competition, would rather make wholesale so expensive or otherwise unattractive that no serious competitor can afford it – take it or leave it – than risk having to lower prices to compete, which in turn would jeopardize their own retail ARPU.
Reading Bell's submission to the CRTC's roaming interrogatory, it's obvious that this is the position being taken down at incumbent headquarters. Bell's lawyers essentially go on an eleven-page long tirade, railing against the government's 'meddlesome' interference, which they go so far as to claim is "without legal foundation" (Page 2). Think about it, if you had a corner on the market, and were making nearly 50% profits (likely much more specifically on roaming charges), you wouldn't want someone coming in and telling you to play fair either! But phone services aren't widgets, and Canadians have a statutory right to affordable, reliable service; so the if the CRTC's investigation into roaming was to touch on whether high rates are justified, it would be both legitimate and, if it's found that the current arrangement is discriminatory, necessary to intervene.
Earlier this fall, Bibic et al came out swinging, but wound up ham-fistedly overplaying their hand (I fought the law…). The Bell lawyers claim that everything from towers to staplers need to be factored in to the cost of roaming (page 6-7). They make it seem as if there are an army of roller skate-wearing switchboard girls monitoring their networks to ensure that roaming goes off without a hitch (page 5-6). In fact, roaming is not nearly as complicated or expensive as it's made out to be; it requires some lawyers to negotiate agreements, engineers to install and maintain switching equipment, and accountants to keep track, but little else. Bell already has all of these things – Mirko's rhetorical and oratory acumen have practically rendered him a celebrity in telecom circles, bills are always mailed on time, and remember, Bell shares a network with its partner Telus.
Despite its best efforts, Bell's arguments come off as superficial and unabashedly self-serving. "Refusal to interconnect" is an anti-competitive trope that's over 100 years old – pre-emptive opposition to the threat of mandated roaming terms is just its current manifestation. If Bell can afford to let Telus customers roam onto its network for pennies, then why's it forcing Wind to charge $1/MB? Put bluntly, if Bell wants to avoid Commission intervention into roaming rates, Mirko's going to have to do better than telling the CRTC "you're out of your element, Donny" and arguing that charging compensatory rates for roaming involves recovering the cost of gold-plated kitchen sinks.
Roaming and wholesale are closely connected to network technology – handsets in particular. So long as phones are unlocked and interoperable, they can switch between networks. More and more phones are coming with near-universal radio chipsets, and the CRTC has already made unlocking mandatory, albeit for a fee (around $50 as far as I know).
My guess as to the reason that Bell reacted so violently to the CRTC roaming interrogatory is that they know regulated roaming rates will be followed closely by regulated wholesale. They can't be happy about having to face potentially serious threat to their ability to keep collecting sky-high economic rent, reflected by internationally unprecedented wireless ARPU.
If the government is serious about promoting competition, then we most definitely do need a strong fourth provider. This is the approach being taken in Britain, it's the reason the American DoJ rejected the AT&T-Mobile merger, and it's working for France with the fast rise of free.fr (For a comprehensive treatment of international regulatory approaches, see Winseck, 2013).
The current situation in Canada has seen the fourth national carrier flounder, and the wholesale market is non-existent. Mandated roaming/wholesale rates would contribute not only to Wind's retail success (and thus a more competitive facilities-based market), but to the possibility of wholesale market expansion. 4 retailers does not a competitive market make – in a truly competitive market, firms must be numerous enough so that no single company or clique has the power to influence prices. The CRTC's newly-minted approach is particularly attractive because presents the opportunity for a 2-for-1 bargain: it could be a practical way to promote the fourth carrier and remove barriers to entry for mom and pop MVNOs.
Today's announcement is a major win for proponents of real competition in Canadian wireless. It's just the beginning, however, and it looks like 2014 is shaping up to be a busy year.
More to come…

Income Tax Form 4 What's So Trendy About Income Tax Form 4 That Everyone Went Crazy Over It?
Last week, a accumulation of affronted and atrocious Citi Tax Financial barter aggregate alfresco the company's storefront in Augusta, Georgia. Millions of Americans had accustomed a big drop from the IRS in their coffer accounts, but they had not. The IRS website told them their coronavirus bang checks were deposited in an anniversary they didn't recognize.
With an administrator from the Richmond County Sheriff's Office beside him and addition administrator shouting for bodies to be quiet, the tax alertness company's buyer told the army of about 60, alone a few of whom wore masks, that he didn't accept their money.
Because of the bizarre accouterment that runs the tax alertness industry, the IRS had beatific the money to a coffer Citi Tax works with but the barter had not heard of. That coffer beatific the payments aback to the IRS.
Citi Tax's audience — aloof like some audience of big tax brands such as H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, and TurboTax — didn't get their money for the actual acumen Congress capital to get money to them bound in the aboriginal place: They are poor. The Georgia customers, about all atramentous women, are amid the acceptable millions of Americans who are accepting agitation accepting the bang funds they are owed. The IRS' adversity in apace accepting payments to Americans has a basic, basis cause: There are assorted clandestine actors sitting amid the IRS and tax filers.
"Because we accept an absolute industry that survives on — and is a huge force in advancement — this arrangement in which they are third-party intermediaries, you end up with these delays and complications," said Chi Chi Wu, an advocate at the National Consumer Law Center.
The bang problems are allotment of a afterlife of affliction faced by the poor in accessing CARES Act money, from the achievability that banks could appropriate the money to pay off debts to advocates' abhorrence that, aback cardboard checks arrive, the check-cashing industry will snatch a ample chunk.
The tax basal business is congenital on a circuitous basement advised to abstract fees that abounding barter cannot afford. Aback the government approved to cross that arrangement to agilely get banknote to its citizens, it ran into big problems.
The IRS estimates that it will accelerate the $292 billion in CARES Act money to 171 actor Americans. The aboriginal beachcomber of payments beatific out aftermost anniversary was targeted to beneath than bisected of those eligible: 80 actor Americans whose 2018 or 2019 tax refunds had been anon deposited. To acquit best of the actual payments, the bureau is planning to mail 81 actor cardboard checks address the president's name, according to an IRS anniversary document.
But for a ample allocation of the 80 actor bodies the IRS approved to ability aftermost week, "direct deposit" is a bit of a misnomer. Anniversary year, the tax refunds of added than 20 actor Americans, including abounding of Citi Tax's customers, booty a detour. These barter don't pay their tax alertness fees upfront, instead opting to accept the fee taken out of their refund. Because regulations prohibit tax basal companies from accepting refunds directly, a special, acting anniversary is created at a coffer that plays the middleman. The coffer takes out whatever fees are owed and again passes the butt on to the customer.
Now some of these way base banks are sending the checks aback to the IRS, adage in accessible statements they accustomed them by mistake, causing cogent abashing and delays. And it's accessible that some of these banks will abstract fees afore the bang money makes its way to those the government was aggravating to help.
Citi Tax barter aren't the alone ones adverse problems. Afterwards ProPublica acquaint a analysis about bang acquittal problems aftermost Friday evening, about 1,400 responses abounding in. Bodies told us about absurdly auspicious the Get My Acquittal folio from the IRS and calling their banks and tax preparers. Some said they bare the money for food. Some said they had been notified that payments went to accounts they didn't recognize. Others said they'd been told they had been paid, but the money hadn't arrived.
"My babe and I are craving here, and we don't accept abundant of a shelter. I don't apperceive what we're activity to do if we don't get this now," said Aaron Buckels, a accountant in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
Like abounding others who wrote in, Buckels depends on his tax acquittance every year. He was acceptable to book his taxes for free. Not alive that, he did his taxes through TurboTax, which answerable him $80, according to his receipt.
He was clumsy to allow that upfront. So, he paid addition fee, $40 more, for TurboTax to use his acquittance to pay what he owed the aggregation for advancing his return. Aback it came to accepting what remained of his refund, Buckels chose to accept it deposited on a debit card, an advantage heavily answer by TurboTax. The aggregation pitches the Turbo Agenda advantage as a way to get refunds "fast" — but the accomplished book reveals that it's alone faster than a cardboard check. It additionally comes with added charges, including a $4.95 annual fee.
That's area the IRS was activity to accelerate Buckels' bang money, according to the agency's Get My Acquittal page. But the funds haven't arrived. Buckels was one of added than 50 TurboTax users who got both a acquittance alteration and a Turbo Agenda who told ProPublica they'd yet to accept their payments. It's still not bright area the breakdown occurred amid the IRS, the coffer that handled the acquittance transfer, and the debit card.
Despite abundant chump complaints about delays, a agent for TurboTax-maker Intuit, Rick Heineman, said, "These are TurboTax barter and bare bang payments, so our accomplishments reflect our efforts to bear the funds to accounts as bound as accessible with no adjournment and no fees." He added that, "The IRS is ultimately amenable for free how and aback the bang payments will be delivered to Americans."
Refund transfers are a cornerstone of the tax basal industry's business model. Because low-income filers about do not accept abundant money on duke to pay aerial alertness fees, the companies charge a way to finer advanced them money.
A low-income, distinct mother with two accouchement pays about $360 to accept her taxes able at H&R Block, according to a aggregation appraisement chart. With a acquittance alteration ($40), the assessment rises to $400. The agnate bulk at Jackson Hewitt, the added better chain, would be $610, according to an appraisal provided by a aggregation employee.
Such a chump can allegedly apprehend a tax acquittance in the bags of dollars because of antipoverty tax credits, which helps addled the affliction of giving up several hundred dollars for tax basal help. Acquittance transfers are actual accepted beyond the industry. For example, about bisected the barter at Liberty Tax, the third-largest chain, get a acquittance transfer. They are best accepted amid taxpayers with assets amid $10,000 and $25,000, according to IRS statistics.
Refund transfers are additionally about awash with added products. Those accommodate promotional cards that appear with fees of their own. H&R Block's Emerald Agenda promises "easy admission to your tax refund." But it accuse users $1.50 to analysis their balance; $3 for an ATM withdrawal; a $4.95 "inactivity" fee; and $35 to banknote out the agenda at a bank. Aftermost year H&R Block appear $268 actor in acquirement from acquittance alteration and prepaid debit fees.
Consumer advocates altercate transfers are bloodthirsty because they are about loans with able anniversary absorption ante over 200%: $40 to $60 in accounts accuse aloof for deferring the tax basal bulk by the few weeks it takes for a acquittance to arrive. And although the fees are about appear to taxpayers, ProPublica has heard from dozens of taxpayers who didn't accept why they were actuality answerable or what the alteration meant.
Over the accomplished week, the transfers emerged as a above botheration for a altered reason. For best taxpayers who got a acquittance transfer, the IRS seems to accept been tripped up because it had advice for two accounts, the middleman's and the final destination, instead of one. That aggravation has allegedly been a claiming for the IRS, which Congress has gutted with anniversary cuts over the accomplished 10 years.
The IRS didn't acknowledge to questions.
In a annual to ProPublica, an H&R Block agent acicular the feel at the government. The IRS has "created abashing by not consistently application clients' final destination coffer anniversary advice for bang payments," the agent said. "We allotment our clients' annoyance that abounding of them accept not yet accustomed these much-needed payments due to IRS decisions, and we are actively alive with the IRS to get bang payments beatific anon to applicant accounts."
In a new FAQ on the IRS website, the bureau accepted that, "In some cases, your Economic Impact Acquittal may accept been directed to the coffer anniversary associated with the acquittance adjustment artefact or prepaid debit card."
Confusing affairs alike more, the bureau said that there was an absurdity on its Get My Acquittal website, which "inaccurately adumbrated alone payments were actuality beatific aback to the aforementioned aborigine anniversary a added time." In fact, those payments would be mailed to tax filers, the bureau said.
Among the filers afflicted by this added annihilate were barter of MetaBank. The about traded South Dakota-based close provides acquittance transfers for absolute tax basal storefronts like Citi Tax in Augusta. The IRS abominably beatific about 300,000 payments to MetaBank's acting accounts, according to one of the bank's tax basal partners. Abounding barter say they are still cat-and-mouse for their bang money. The coffer said in a annual it is "deeply concerned" by the delays and referred users to the IRS.
Citi Tax is archetypal of the industry in abounding ways. Acquittance transfers are best accepted in the South and decidedly in counties with ample atramentous populations. Richmond County, area Citi Tax is located, is majority atramentous and about a third of taxpayers there with assets beneath $25,000 get a acquittance transfer, according to IRS data. The transfers tend to accompany allotment involving the becoming assets tax credit, one of the country's better antipoverty programs and one primarily targeted at low-income workers with children. This helps explain why the army alfresco Citi Tax was abundantly women.
Citi Tax is additionally a prime archetype of an industry that is abundantly unregulated. The abundance acclimated to be allotment of the Instant Tax alternation — already the fourth-largest tax basal alternation in the US until it was shut bottomward in 2013 for what a Justice Department advocate alleged "an amazing arrangement of again counterfeit and ambiguous conduct."
Under the aforementioned owner, Yonathan Michael, the Instant Tax area artlessly afflicted names and connected on. Michael himself has been hit with over $90,000 in penalties by the IRS, according to liens filed adjoin him over the aftermost three years. But the IRS lacks the ascendancy to anticipate Michael from continuing to adapt hundreds of allotment anniversary year artlessly because of such violations. Michael did not acknowledge to questions from ProPublica.
Even afterwards added than a anniversary of confusion, abounding tax filers still do not accept their checks and it's cryptic absolutely which allotment of the system's accouterment bankrupt down. On Reddit and Facebook, balked tax filers attractive for answers accept created groups like "justice for Metabank Customers" and "H&R Block bang group" that accept ballooned in contempo days.
Some bodies who wrote to ProPublica accept been told to apprehend cardboard checks, admitting their ambition to get absolute deposit. Others abide to get a acquittal cachet alien bulletin from the IRS website. And abacus to the mess, the banks that action acquittance transfers are administration the problems differently. Some say they've beatific payments aback to the IRS, some say they will mail taxpayers checks themselves, and still others say they will accelerate payments electronically.
Additionally, Santa Barbara Tax Articles Group, a accessory of the about traded Green Dot Corporation, suggests on its website that fees may be taken out of bang payments in some cases.
"In the attenuate accident that payments are aback beatific to [Santa Barbara], a plan is in abode to advice analyze and accelerate the acknowledgment of these payments anon to the IRS so that the IRS can copy payments anon to afflicted taxpayers as anon as possible," the annual said. "If we are clumsy to analyze the acquittal as an Economic Impact Payment, the drop will be candy as a federal refund, with all associated fees withheld from the drop amount."
Santa Barbara is the better processor of acquittance transfers, administration them for several tax basal brands, including TurboTax. An Intuit agent said its barter would not be answerable fees.

PHS Hires Familiar Face To Lead Dragonettes BasketballPHS Basketball, Team FYN Sports March 24, 2017
Last night, at the BOE meeting, Brandon Thomas got his approval to become the new head coach of the PHS Dragonettes varsity basketball team. Those who have followed PHS Basketball for a time remember Thomas from his previous stint as an assistant coach.
Thomas left several years ago to explore head coaching opportunities and found one at Winder-Barrow where he was hired in 2011. During his 6 year stint at Winder-Barrow, Thomas took the Lady Bulldogs to the 5-A championship game in 2015-16, and the quarterfinals this past season. In 6 years, Thomas had a record of 89-78. In his last two seasons, he led Winder-Barrow to a 50-13 record.
Thomas, will now take over a program that has seen it's share of success over the last couple of seasons making a couple of state tournament appearances. It's a young, but experienced group of young ladies that look to take the next step in not only reaching the state tournament, but winning games in the state tournament.
Everyone in Dragon Nation please welcome back to PHS, Brandon Thomas.

The Lenovo P2 boasts to 'Power your life' with its main feature being a 5,100 mAh. Could a battery really last three days without charging? Being a heavy user of my phone daily I certainly would put the Lenovo P2 to the test. The unboxing is available here, and below are the specs of the phone.
Display – Size: 5.5″ Full HD (1920 x 1080) Super AMOLED display
Processor – Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 625 true octa-core 2.0 GHz
Operating System – Android™ 6.0, Marshmallow
Dimensions – 153 x 76 x 8.3 mm
Weight – 177 g (0.39 Ibs)
Battery – 5100 mAh embedded
Battery Life – 5100 mAh embedded
Battery Life – Active Standby: Up to 32 days, Talk Time: Up to 78.69 hours
Camera – Rear: 13 MP auto-focus allows HD video recording with single LED flash, Front: 5 MP fixed-focus
Sound – 1x Speaker, 3.5 mm Jack
The design and build of the P2 may not be bespoke but the phone feels premium with its metal casing and corning gorilla glass 3 front. The super AMOLED display at 401 PPI pixel density is lush, when watching video playback on the phone it is great and pictures really pop with colour.
The added feature of having an ultimate power saving button has certainly become more useful than I first thought. Sliding the button into power saving mode will disable the internet connectivity and only allow regular SMS texts and phone calls through to your phone. I would always use this button if going into a meeting at work to stop all unnecessary notifications coming through as we all know if someone really needs you they call. This mode is also good when charging the phone to give the rapid charge that extra speed.
On the top of the phone, there is a 3.5mm headphone socket and microphone. At either end is a visible antenna.
At the bottom of the phone, there are two speaker grills (the left-hand side one is a dummy speaker) In the middle of these there is the MicroUSB charging socket.
On the right-hand side, there is the volume rocker and power button.
On the left-hand side is the SIM card tray. The device takes a Nano-SIM and a MicrsoSD card. There is the slider button for super saver power mode which as discussed is very useful.
On the back of the device, there is the 13-megapixel camera with dual led flash.
On the front there is the 5 Megapixel camera at the top right-hand side, and at the bottom you have the fingerprint scanner which has multiple uses, not only can this unlock your phone, it can be used as a home button and when the phone is on standby a long press can turn on the flashlight.
The device's main feature is the 5,100 mAh battery and rapid recharging. Lenovo promise at least two days use and I must saw in the few weeks of using the device I can say battery life has not been an issue at all.
I would be quite a heavy user on my phone, in a day my phone wakes me up in the morning. On my 15 min drive to the bus stop, I will stream music via my car radio, on my 40 min bus journey to work I will catch up with a TV show or continue to listen to music. In work at designated break times I will catch up on emails, social media, play a few online games. On the way home usually in rush hour traffic, I will watch more of the programme I started that morning. When I get home my phone will be used by the kids to play their games, then I will use it to watch a show/listen to music while cleaning up the house. Then head to bed.
Typically in a day with my previous phone I would have to charge it in work after my commute in, when I would get home I would have to do the same.
Without changing anything I do I put the Lenovo P2 to the same routine and without charging I had 46% battery life at the end of the day. Without charging I did the same routine the following day and had to charge my phone the following night. 1 hour on the quick charge had the battery life up to 86%. I honestly have been blown away by the power Lenovo has packed into this device.
It is comforting to know my phone will last an entire day without charge and perhaps now more than ever I have seen more people with power banks on their desks in work charging their almost flat lining phones.Now if I was to use my phone less I could probably stretch the battery to three days but this does not bother me. Lenovo has eased the pressure of everyday life as I never need to worry about battery life on my mobile device.
Included in the box is the option to turn your phone into a power bank and share your power. A nice option to have but being selfish it wouldn't be something I would do that often, plus I would have to carry the port about so chances of me losing it all together are high.
The phone currently runs android 6.0 with the hope of a Nougat update in the near future. Lenovo has not added too much to the overlay of stock android. The device is easy to manage and there are a few helpful hints included if you are a complete newbie to android.
The Antutu benchmark gave the phone a score of 64336 Which is not bad putting it below the Samsung S6 and Note5 on performance and at a fraction of its price.
The Lenovo P2 uses a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 true octa-core 2.0 GHz processor, which gives you all the power you need to keep multiple apps open at the same time. The phone runs smooth thanks to the added 3GB of ram. There is a substantial 32GB internal storage which this being expandable with the sim port space is not a problem on this device.
The cameras on the P2 are regrettably standard. I would usually judge a phone on its ability to capture a good picture of my kids, with my youngest being 20 months he never sits still enough so I am usually left when an unusable blurry faced snapshot. This a shame but given that the phone is packed full of amazing features.
The picture quality is fine for landscapes and general camera video the 13-megapixel camera on the back can take 4K videos 2160p @30fps and HD videos 1080p @30fps. Here are a few samples of the camera images and video. Lenovo has a smart assistant that helps aid you into perfecting your pics or if you wish you can customise your settings with the professional mode. For me, I understand that if I wanted studio quality images I would take my kids to a studio for a professional photographer to capture them or seek a more expensive phone.
The speakers on the phone have a lot of power, they are loud enough to entertain. As mentioned before there is only one speaker the second grill is a dummy one however at its loudest the speaker does not crack or distort under the pressure which is fantastic.
Bigger, better, bolder the year 2017 while bringing the usual contenders for the mobile device of the year from Giants like Apple, Samsung, LG and the Google. For once though it would be great to see an underdog win the mobile device of the year and with Lenovo's latest offering with the P2, they have certainly made a beast of a phone with a battery to last for days. Available from three for £199.99 I would definitely recommend this phone if you are on the lookout for a new device and battery problems are a big issue for you.

A deficiency in signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is responsible for autosomal dominant hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome, an immunodeficiency syndrome causing Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, and, rarely, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus sp infections. Currently, intracellular pathogens are not targeted in the management of severe infections. The pathophysiologic mechanism of hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome immunodeficiency has recently been linked to a disorder in the T helper 17 pathway and disruption of the interleukin -23/interleukin-17 axis. We report an unusual case of severe pleuropneumopathy by Ureaplasma urealyticum in a teenage girl with STAT3-deficient hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (STAT3 HIES). A previous case of severe lung infection by Mycoplasma pneumoniae has already been described in a STAT3-deficient patient, but U urealyticum has never been reported in patients with STAT3 HIES. After a review of the literature, it seems that the specific immunodeficiency pathway of STAT3 HIES exposes STAT3 HIES patients to Ureaplasma lung infections because the pathophysiology of STAT3 HIES and Ureaplasma is based on STAT3 and T helper 17 cells.

Case Report
A deficiency in signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is responsible for autosomal dominant hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (AD-HIES), a rare and complex primary cellular immune disorder linked to a mutation (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man No. 147060) in the gene encoding for the transduction signal STAT3. STAT3-deficient HIES (STAT3 HIES) patients are characterized by high serum immunoglobulin E levels and, typically, lung and skin infections.1–3 The pathogens that cause lower respiratory tract infections are mostly Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, but Aspergillus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are also involved in patients with damage from lung infections.1,3,4 Lung infections might result in pneumatocele and are reported as the main risk factors for worsened outcome as well as the first cause of death.4
Ureaplasma urealyticum is known to cause lung damage in preterm newborns.5 U urealyticum has been reported on rare occasions in immune-compromised or HIV-positive patients, but never in STAT3 HIES patients.1,3,4 We report the case of a 17-year-old female referenced in the French national cohort of immune defects as having a molecularly proven STAT3 deficiency,1 who experienced a life-threatening pleuropneumopathy caused by U urealyticum.
AD-HIES was suspected in our patient at age 5 years because she required surgery for a large nonmalformative bulla of the middle lobe. A review of her medical history found repeated lung infections, and periinfectious, noneczematic skin lesions, food polyallergy, total immunoglobulin E levels >1000 kUI/L, and moderate asthma with chronic reversible obstructive syndrome. A broad nasal bridge and rough facial skin characterized her facial morphology.1 The diagnosis was confirmed at 9 years of age on finding a heterozygous missense mutation in the 22nd exon of STAT3 (T708N).1,2 The treatment administered comprised inhaled corticosteroids and a long-acting β agonist for asthma, food avoidance and antihistaminic drugs for allergies, and several courses of oral antibiotics for lung infections. Additional recurrent severe acne occurred with β-lactamins and macrolides, and this adverse effect limited the use of those antibiotics. Prophylactic administration of cotrimoxazole, itraconazole, and weekly subcutaneous γ globulin injections allowed control of recurrent infections. Unfortunately, therapeutic adherence weakened at age 14 years leading to noncompliance and irregular follow-up.
At 17 years of age, the patient presented with an episodic fever and productive cough. At that time, compliance was poor and follow-up irregular. This condition lasted for 2 months, despite 2 courses of amoxicillin/clavulanate. Due to increasing fatigue, she subsequently presented to our tertiary care center. A chest radiograph displayed a middle lobe consolidation, and only a multisensitive form of S pneumoniae grew in the sputum analysis. Given the infectious epidemiology of STAT3-deficient patients and the lack of other pathogens in our patient, she was administered a 6-day course of intravenous (IV) ceftriaxone at home. She was hospitalized the day after her home treatment, due to persistent fever, marked fatigue, dyspnea, extension of the left upper lobe consolidation, and atelectasis of the left lower lobe. She improved with a 10-day course of IV aminoside and clindamycin and was discharged. The patient's fever relapsed 3 days later and she had severe fatigue, respiratory distress, and inflammatory syndrome (C-reactive protein: 190 mg/L). She was admitted to ICU and underwent noninvasive ventilation. Extended investigations were performed with bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), microbial research by growth cultures, molecular biology and serology, and a broad immunity assessment. A computed tomography scan showed multiple atelectasis of the left lung and preexistent bronchiectasis. Based on STAT3 HIES and the lack of an identified pathogen, probabilistic treatments against other germs that may be found in patients with bronchiectasis, such as S aureus, Pseudomonas, and Aspergillus, were started. A pleural empyema occurred 1 month later in spite of several courses of antiinfectious treatments. Routine cultures and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were negative for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and S pneumoniae. The 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing from the BAL and pleural sample revealed the sole presence of U urealyticum. This was additionally confirmed by the pleural effusion culture with a positive growth of U urealyticum (> 104 colony-forming unit/mL). Unfortunately, an antibiogram was not achieved. The patient's personal history confirmed an act of unprotected oral sexual intercourse a few weeks before the onset of symptoms. All other tests for sexually transmitted infections were negative. Our patient's outcome greatly improved early on in the 14-day course of spiramycin, and she was rapidly weaned from mechanical ventilation. Apyrexia was obtained and her C-reactive protein level rapidly decreased. However, since that time, our patient has undergone an alteration in maximal expiratory flows and has a remaining pneumatocele formation in the left upper lobe.
Screening for U urealyticum is challenging because culture and PCR are not routinely performed, and the ubiquity of this pathogen complicates the interpretation of serology tests.6 Even though a recent study suggests that U urealyticum is underestimated in children with chronic respiratory disease, with a prevalence of 2.8% in 319 pediatric BAL samples, it has never been reported in STAT3 HIES cohorts.1,4,5 Conversely, this pathogen causes lower respiratory tract infections in neonates, data that is in accordance with the fact that U urealyticum preferentially colonizes the distal urinary tract.5,6 In our patient, the mode of contamination was finally explained by an act of unprotected oral intercourse.
S pneumoniae is well recognized as a causal infectious agent in up to 24% of lower respiratory tract infections in STAT3 HIES patients.1 Indeed, because S pneumoniae was the only pathogen initially identified in our patient's sputum culture, we administered appropriate antibiotics and observed a transient improvement. Thereafter, an 16S ribosomal RNA test was performed that detected U urealyticum and confirmed the eradication of S pneumoniae. These test results argued for a coinfection involving both U urealyticum and S pneumoniae. Similar coinfections involving M pneumoniae have already been reported in the ICU.7
Our patient's delayed clinical attendance and subsequent delay in treatment might also have enhanced the severity of her infection. Such delay was closely linked to her psychological status and her reluctance to consult.
Nevertheless, the uncommon severity of our patient's infection might be explained by her particular immunologic condition. The pathophysiologic mechanism of STAT3-deficiency has recently been linked to a disorder in the T helper (Th) 17 pathway.1–3,9,10 Indeed, STAT3 mutation, through a disruption in the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis (Fig 1), provokes a circulating defect in Th17 cells and a resulting deficit in IL-17 production, which has already been described in STAT3-deficient patients.1,3,8–10 This disruption alters epithelial immune responses and neutrophil recruitment in the lungs and skin, making patients highly vulnerable to lung and skin infections.1,3 Interestingly, recent studies have shown that the IL-23/IL-17 axis pathway is involved in the host defense against the mycoplasma species, which U urealyticum belongs to.11,12 Even though more data are still required, some works suggest the implication of Th17 cells in host defenses against intracellular pathogens.8,13,14
Although macrolides are easily recommended as the second-line treatment of acute pneumonia, our patient was not given them because she had previously developed severe acne with this class of antibiotics and because M pneumoniae and C pneumoniae PCR and serologies were repeatedly negative. Spiramycin was administered after taking into account the patient's history of reaction to macrolides and the need for IV administration due to her clinical condition.
Although we cannot entirely prove it, the specific immunodeficiency pathway of STAT3 seems to expose STAT3-deficient patients to Ureaplasma lung infections because the pathophysiology of AD-HIES and of Ureaplasma is based on STAT3 and Th17 cells. Coverage of atypical pathogens, such as Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma, should be considered empirical therapy when dealing with infections in individuals with HIES.

Even the most health-conscious among us sometimes skip meals, eat on the go or resort to convenience food. Missing out on key nutrients can leave us feeling tired and susceptible to infection. That's why we've combined three daily essentials in one pack:
A multivitamin tablet that contains the full-spectrum of vitamins and minerals we all need for good health, helping support all major aspects of health – from heart, brain and immunity to eyes, bones, teeth, skin, blood and overall energy.
It also includes an omega 3 fish oil capsule that contains beneficial levels of the long-chain fatty acids DHA and EPA, which have a wide range of scientifically proven health benefits, and research shows they help keep our hearts, brains and eyes functioning healthily*.
Finally, it includes a capsule that contains five billion live 'friendly' bacteria from three carefully selected strains, to join the protective bacteria already present in your gut. We've also added vitamin D3, which helps support immune health.
We've combined three of the most important supplements needed for good health into one single pack, which is delivered in handy tear strips for your convenience. There's an A to Z multivitamin to safeguard your nutrition; a highly distilled and sustainably sourced fish oil to support your heart health, and a blend of five billion live cultures to help maintain the protective intestinal microflora of your digestive system.
It's perfect for anyone who wants comprehensive nutritional support, all in one pack.
Complementary products – Multivitamin, Omega 3 and Digestive Bacteria are three of five essential supplements that many experts believe provide the foundation of good health. The nutrient turmeric is equally important. Take a look at our Opti-Turmeric supplement, which contains an optimal absorption liquid curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) plus added vitamin C to boost immune health and support collagen formation, needed for bones and cartilage.
*The beneficial effect for brain and eyes is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA. The beneficial effect for the heart is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of EPA and DHA.

Return of Big Brother ...............F&*%£" !!
So Sally "The Alley" Bercow has final arrived into the Big Brother house.
Couple of things spring to mind here.
1. Anyone who systematically watches this program needs certified under the mental health act.
2. What a absolute disgrace of a female she is. Infact what an absolute disgrace of a pair she and her husband make.
We all remember here this little piece about Ms Alley (yes that was her nick name and there is a good reason for that).
In normal times no man can be held responsible for the conduct of his wife, but in this case we are happy to make an exception. With John Bercow, this pair between them have made a major contribution to the destruction of the majesty and gravitas of parliament, helping to make it the tawdry joke that it has become.
This article says she aims to "stick it to the establishment" during the programme, heedless of the fact that she is part of the establishment, living in a grace and favour apartment which has cost us £20 Grand to refurb for him and the fact that Mr Speaker also trousered £146,780 in expenses, which includes £1390.64, for a satellite TV system, to save the pair the trouble of looting the local branch of Dixons.
One has to admit that this pair have got it made – having been able to delegate the parliamentary authorities to do their looting for them – and they certainly deserve each other. The question is whether we deserve such low grade personalities, a question which scarcely needs an answer.
As a voting public, the people of Buckingham are a disgrace. You voted him in and brought Mrs Speaker with him.
And remember you only get the politicians you deserve .............. you all forget 1 simple fact.
They WORK FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

The country has finally sunk to the level of bottom feeding worms if she thinks she can do, as she wants whilst her husband holds the position he does in Parliament.
No wonder the chavs, rioters, drunks, anarchists, louts, thugs and crooks think what they do is ok if we have this woman as an example of the so called political classes parading like a chav on TV.
I really do give up on everything now that chavism has reached the House of Commons, once a place that was filled with venerable and respected people. I wonder what the dead who fought WW1 and WW2 for freedom would think of this woman.

The United Nations, an international organization dedicated to keeping peace among the world's nations, was established on October 24, 1945. This month would be a good time to focus on how to settle disagreements and learn something about the U.N. Here are a few suggestions:
Affiliate, Website, Turnkey, Money Making
1. Read this excerpt of the U.N. Charter and discuss what it means:
Affiliate, Website, Turnkey, Money Making
We the peoples of the United Nations determine…to live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, to work for the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to promote better standards of life.
Affiliate, Website, Turnkey, Money Making
2. Try making your own criss-cross puzzle from what you consider to be the most important words in the excerpt above.
Affiliate, Website, Turnkey, Money Making
3. Relate the word 'equal' to the definition learned in math.
Affiliate, Website, Turnkey, Money Making
4. Research to find the member nations of the United Nations and write them down. Once they are written, put them in alphabetical order; count the syllables in the names; find them in an atlas and make note of their geographic location (which continent has the most members? the least members?); make tally marks representing each country and practice counting by 5's and 10's. Which nations were charter members? Which countries were added later? Find out more about each country by breaking your class into groups.
Affiliate, Website, Turnkey, Money Making
5. Unscramble the names of these member countries:
Affiliate, Website, Turnkey, Money Making
Now use these letters, from the countries above, to form two words telling what the United Nations is working toward: CROWLEAPED
6. Here are two realistic situations. Ask your children how they would solve these predicaments in order to make peace. Is there another way to achieve a win-win outcome?
A. Barbara, Cindy, and Judy have always been best friends. Lately, though, Cindy and Judy have been excluding Barbara from their playtime fun. Consequently, Barbara has decided to turn the rest of the class against them. Which way would achieve peace? Brainstorm other ideas!
a. Talk to the three girls privately to determine why Barbara is being ignored.
b. Punish all three girls by not allowing them to play.
c. Start a class discussion about what it means to be a friend.
B. William and Jose were close pals because they liked doing the same things, going to the same places, and going out with the same friends. When it was time for their first school dance, however, they both wanted to ask the same girl. Having found out that Jose had asked Maria first, William wouldn't talk to Jose at all. Which way would achieve peace? Brainstorm other ideas!
a. Suggest that neither boy take Maria to the dance.
b. Suggest that William, Jose, and Maria all go together as friends.
c. Suggest that William tell Jose how he feels and see what Jose says.
I hope these ideas are useful and inspire your own creativity.
And remember…Reading is Fundamental!
Answers to 5: Sweden, Poland, Argentina, Australia, India, Egypt, Great Britain, Canada, China, United States

The University of Arizona Superfund Research Program (UA SRP) is delighted to announce that trainee, Denise Moreno Ramirez, has received a scholarship from the City of Tucson's Water Department. This scholarship leverages a recently awarded Carson Scholarship and will help support her dissertation research at the Tucson International Airport Area (TIAA) Superfund site. Moreno Ramirez's project focuses on preserving the life histories of people working and living next to hazardous contamination. She will capture these histories via video interviews as well as personal photographs. This project was co-created with community members at the TIAA Unified Community Advisory Board (UCAB) and has expanded to the Iron King Mine and Humboldt Smelter site. Tucson Water Administrator Jeff Biggs presented Moreno Ramirez with the scholarship award at the January 18, 2017 TIAA UCAB quarterly meeting. "Tucson Water values and supports education for our youth, researchers, and the community," said Timothy Thomure, Tucson Water Director. UA SRP Director Raina Maier who also serves as co-advisor for Moreno Ramirez stated: "Denise exemplifies our outstanding Training Core students who take advantage of all opportunities that come available to support their research".
Keep your eye out for an up-and-coming website where you can get more information about the project.

Dulce Maria has been performing since she was a child in the music group K.I.D.S. Following that she performed in the group Jeans then was cast in the group Rebelde with their novela. RBD was born from that with nine albums in Spanish, Portuguese and English.
Now with a new two-part album entitled Extranjera she is ready to take over the world.
Gozamos: Hola, Dulce. You were born with that name?
Dulce Maria: Yes, in Mexico City, Federal District. My full name is Dulce Maria Espinoza Savinon.
Wow, that is a mouthful.
(laughs) My name is from my dad.
You were in Plaza Sesamo (Sesame Street)?
Yes. I started my career when I was five years old. I was in a Mexican Discovery Kids show when I was young, then finally in RBD from the soap opera Rebelde. I am so proud now to have my first solo disc Extranjera.
I interviewed your cast mate from the show, Christopher Uckermann, in the past. He is a great guy.
Oh, he is my very good friend.
You must have gotten to know him very well from the show.
Have you listened to his music?
I just heard his first single. Everyone from that show is so talented.
Christian Chavez came out of the closet from the group.
Yes, I am very proud of him. We have talked about doing a project together with the creator of RBD Pedro Damian.
You are coming to Chicago this Thursday correct?
This Thursday, yes. I am coming to Chicago, Atlanta, then Los Angeles and San Francisco. This is an opportunity to bring my music to many people. I will sing some of my greatest hits while there as well as a couple of new tracks.
Is this your first in Chicago?
Yes, the first time solo there. I am very excited to get there and show off my music.
I saw your video for the single "Inevitable." How was it making the video?
It was my first solo video, the first single from the CD. It was filmed in Buenos Aires by Argentinean director Francisco d'Amorim Lima. It went really well I am happy with it. I just made a video for "Ya No" it is a cover song of Selena from her album Amor Prohibido. It is on the second part of my record that was just released. It was also filmed in Buenos Aires.
What was it like working with Tiziano Ferro and Akon?
For me it was big honor. Tiziano is Italian and I love his beautiful country. Speaking of "Beautiful" that was the remix that I did with Akon. It was his first time to work with a Mexican girl singer on a song so it was big for us both.
Would you ever do an album in English?
Right now, no, because this album had 14 songs and is in two parts. I would like to translate it into Portuguese for Brazil and Portugal. I want to get a song out there in English at some point for everyone to hear. I would like to sing more in English, sure.
How did you learn Portuguese?
I learned some from the RBD albums that were translated into Portuguese. It is similar to Spanish so I understand a lot of it.
I read that your great aunt is the painter Frida Kahlo.
Yes, my grandmother is her sister. It is a huge deal to think she is part of my blood and family.
I can only imagine. Where are you calling from?
Ecuador but I will see you in Chicago soon!
Dulce Maria along with Club Papi dancers will shake their maracas on a National Club Tour at Circuit Nightclub, 3641 N Halsted Street on June 30. Visit http://www.circuitclub.com and www.wantickets.com/clubpapi for tickets and details.

Just ask Mike DiPiano and Stuart Geffner, M.D.
For Mike DiPiano, Athletic Director at St. Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, a complication of diabetes he developed during adolescence led to kidney failure and the need for dialysis treatments three times a week. After two years of dialysis, a stranger's untimely death provided the 48-year-old husband and father of three teenagers with the opportunity for a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Today, Mike heightens community awareness by speaking to adult and student groups about giving the gift of life. "I would do anything anyone asked of me to spread this message," says Mike. "I owe it to the people who are sick and the family that donated their loved one's organs for me."
For Stuart Geffner, M.D., Director of Transplant Surgery at RWJBarnabas Health, accepting the status quo is unacceptable. Board certified in surgery and fellowship-trained in transplant surgery, Dr. Geffner has performed numerous "medical firsts" in New Jersey, including renal transplantation on the youngest pediatric patient in the state as well as the first laparoscopic kidney donation. "The work we do and the opportunities we provide our patients are the result of the courage and generosity of our donor families," he says.

Question Description
The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) served to focus auditors' attention, and users' and managements' as well, on internal control. Was SOX right in identifying internal control as the solution to management fraud? Do you believe the added requirements to report separately on internal control are necessary? Do you think they have worked? And will they work in the future?
In Chapter 8 Schilit discusses four (4) techniques to shift current income to a later period .

Several children have been injured after Israeli forces shelled areas east of Khan Younis. The Israeli military said it had targeted two members of "global jihadist" groups which were suspected of involvement in a cross-border attack from Egypt in June that left one Israeli dead.
Medical sources in Gaza said an Israeli shell had landed east of Khan Younis, injuring five people, among them several children.
Earlier today, rockets launched from Gaza landed in Israel's Eshkol region and near Kerem Shalom, although no-one was hurt.
Shrapnel from the mortars and rockets fired into southern Israel on Monday caused some damage to at least one building in Eshkol.
Afterwards, the local authorities asked residents to stay close to shelters.
The military wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad said the attack was a response to an Israeli air strike on Sunday.
Eight civilians, including two children, were injured in that strike, when a missile hit a motorbike ridden by two militants as it travelled through the southern town of Rafah.
One of the militants, Abdullah Maqawi, died of his wounds on Monday, while the other is seriously hurt.
Hamas's military wing, the Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades, and that of Islamic Jihad, the al-Quds Brigades, announced that the rocket fire was a response to "Zionist crimes".
"In response to the injury of civilians in the most recent strike on Rafah, the Qassam Brigades and the al-Quds Brigades fired a number of rockets at enemy military positions," a Hamas statement said.
In a statement, the Israeli military said: "In response to this morning's rocket barrage at southern Israeli communities, the [Israel Defence Forces] targeted Hamas terror activity sites and terrorist squads responsible for the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
"The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians, and will operate against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel. The Hamas terror organisation is solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip."
More than 470 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel this year, not including those launched on Monday, the statement added.

SOURCE of Pictures : Tun Nainghttp://www.facebook.com/#!/tun.naing.311
The words written on the picture: "Myitnar village, Than Phyu Monastery in Bangladeshnear Myanmar border was destroyed by Bangalis".
We hereby wish to demand the Myanmar Governmentto summon Bangladesh Ambassador to explain and investigate the following accusation. If Myanmar Government fails to investigate, I hereby request ABIM and WAMY to inform and the Bangladesh Government to investigate and clarify this. We highly suspect that it is part of HATE CAMPAIGN against Muslims in Myanmar.
I am a Muslim BUT do not agree with them. I hereby strongly protest the Bangladesh government. Myanmar Foreign Minister should summon BengaliAmbassador and condemn their people's action and ask for the explanation and compensation. Demand the Bengali government to allow the permit to rebuild the Buddhist Monastery and to guarantee the safety of Bengali Buddhist Rakhine staying in their country.
After the official investigating this 'ATROCITY' if true to punish the criminal Bengalis and if this is not the truth BUT the Rakhine Buddhists' FAKE FALSE news, to arrest the person responsible for spreading HATRED on Muslims.
If Myanmar government fails to call Bengali Ambassador, they are committing an offence of negligence.
Myanmar Government needs to investigate this kind of irresponsible HATE incitation.
If it is true that Bengali Muslims had done this, call the Bengali Ambassador and demand Investigation/ compensation/ punishment and protection. IF FAKE picture just to drum up to HATE Muslims in Myanmar including Rohingyas and Bengali-mixed blooded people, Myanmar government must INVESTIGATE and punish the person who wrote this.
If Myanmar GOVERNMENT fails to investigate, they would be seen by ALL as IRRESPONSIBLE government closing the eyes on HATRED SPEECH on its Muslim citizens as it is a common knowledge that many Myanmar Military Cyber troopers are doing this kind of propaganda campaigns against Muslims.
