Fuchse BerlinPetr StochlTalent Plzen For many years a member of famous Fuchse Berlin pair between the posts with Silvio Heinevetter, Petr Stochl, will once again wear yersey of the “Foxes” from the German capital.The former Czech goalkeeper retired last summer, but since Malte Semisch got injured (will be out for a four weeks), Stochl decided to accept call of his club to come back for two upcoming matches, afterward he will be replaced by currently injured third option Fredrik Genz.Stochl works as assistant and goalkeepers’ coach at Talent Plzen. The 42-years old Czech also works twice per week with Fuchse Berlin goalkeeepers. ← Previous Story GOOD JOB: Ortega and Romero extend contract at TSV Hannover Burgdorf Next Story → MATHE’S SOLDIERS: Chambery win in Nantes to overtake TOP of French League!
The big item on everyone’s iPhone 5 wish list is LTE (Long Term Evolution, otherwise known as 4G). However, it’s been widely discussed that the next-gen iPhone won’t be getting LTE. But, today, BGR is reporting that Apple’s carrier partners are testing iPhones with LTE capability.The evidence supporting this claim comes from an internal iOS test build from one of Apple’s major (unmanned) carrier partners. Deep within the firmware is a property list for LTE. But, don’t get yourself too excited just yet. It may still be too early for Apple to include a 4G LTE modem, but it at least shows us that Apple’s working on it.Back in April, Apple’s Tim Cook made it clear that the iPhone 5 will not be 4G since the LTE chipsets require a number of design compromises. Apple is not ready or willing to change the design of the iPhone just to accommodate the technology, it would rather wait until another solution arises or it gets small enough to fit.Since the company already has 56 million iPhones in line for production in the second half of 2011, it may be too late to add the necessary hardware for LTE in the new models. So, perhaps we’ll see LTE in the iPhone after this one.Apple has been wary of quickly adopting new technologies in the past. Take the original iPhone for example. The first edition was launched with EDGE while other phones out at the time had 3G. So perhaps it’s just taking its time to make sure everything’s perfect before it releases a product with LTE capabilities.Rumors say that the iPhone 5 will be announced September 7, so until then, we won’t know for sure if this carrier testing is for the fifth-gen iPhone or a later version.via BGR
Une tempête tropicale attendue en PolynésiePolynésie française – Une alerte a été diffusée jeudi en prévision du passage d’une dépression tropicale. Baptisée Nisha, cette tempête pourrait toucher la Polynésie française au cours de la journée de samedi ou dimanche matin.D’après les informations de Météo France, cette tempête tropicale modérée se situait vendredi matin à environ 1300 kilomètres à l’ouest de Rimatara et à 1600 km à l’ouest sud-ouest de Tahiti, la principale île de Polynésie française. Nisha se déplace vers l’est sud-est à 30 km/h en direction des Iles Cook du sud avec des vents maximums estimés à 120 km/h.À lire aussiQuand une cascade se met à couler à l’envers en EcosseSi le haut commissariat de la République craignait que cette tempête s’intensifie pour se transformer en cyclone, ce risque est très faible selon Météo France. “Nous en sommes au niveau 1 de l’alerte : la cellule de crise est préparée mais pas activée” a-t-elle précisé.Alors que le gouvernement autonome de la Polynésie française a également mis en place deux cellules de crise, la population s’est préparée en se procurant de l’eau, des torches et des cordes afin de renforcer les habitations les plus fragiles.

La grande faune du Sahara est en terrible déclin Publiée en ligne dans la revue Diversity and Distributions, une étude internationale fait le point sur l’état de la grande faune du Sahara, et dénonce l’absence généralisée de gestion appropriée qui a conduit à l’extinction ou à l’extrême raréfaction de nombreuses espèces.C’est un véritable cri d’alarme que viennent de lancer plus de 40 spécialistes représentant 28 organisations scientifiques, menés par des membres de la Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) et de la Société zoologique de Londres (ZSL). Au terme d’une étude portant sur 14 espèces animales, ces scientifiques ont en effet réalisé un constat préoccupant : le Sahara, le plus grand désert tropical du monde, a subi un effondrement catastrophique de ses populations d’animaux sauvages.À lire aussiMaladie de Charcot : symptômes, causes, traitement, où en est on ?Ainsi, chez les antilopes, le bubale ainsi que l’oryx (à l’état sauvage) s’y sont éteints. La gazelle dama et l’addax n’occupent eux plus que 1% de leur ancienne aire de distribution. Le léopard ne subsiste que dans 3% de son ancien habitat et le guépard dans 10%. Quant au chien sauvage d’Afrique et au lion, ceux-ci ont tout simplement complètement disparu du Sahara. Seul le bouquetin de Nubie se maintient encore, bien que menacé.Pourtant, certains pays font des efforts : le Niger vient de créer une réserve naturelle de 97.000 kilomètres carrés qui abrite la plupart des quelque 200 derniers addax sauvages du monde, ainsi que l’une des rares populations de gazelles dama et quelques guépards sahariens. Le gouvernement tchadien, lui, espère réintroduire l’oryx dans la nature. Mais le Sahara souffre du manque chronique d’études de terrain dû à l’insécurité qui y règne.”Le Sahara est un exemple d’une négligence historique plus large concernant les déserts et les communautés humaines qui en dépendent. La communauté scientifique peut apporter une contribution importante à la préservation des déserts en fournissant des renseignements de base sur la biodiversité et en développant de nouvelles approches de la gestion durable des espèces et des écosystèmes désertiques”, conclut Sarah Durant, de la WCS et de la ZSL.

Attendees hold up their lit mobile phones during a rally by civil servants to support the anti-extradition bill protest in Hong Kong, China on 2 August 2019. Photo: ReutersThousands of civil servants joined in the anti-government protests in Hong Kong on Friday for the first time since they started two months ago, defying a warning from the authorities to remain politically neutral.Protests against a proposed bill that would allow people to be extradited to stand trial in mainland China have grown increasingly violent, with police accused of excessive use of force and failing to protect protesters from suspected gang attacks.Chanting encouragement, crowds turned out to support the civil servants at their rally on Friday evening which halted traffic on major roads in the heart of the city’s business district.”I think the government should respond to the demands, instead of pushing the police to the frontline as a shield,” said Kathy Yip, a 26-year-old government worker.The rally on Friday came after an open letter penned anonymously and published on Facebook set out a series of demands to the Hong Kong government by a group which said it represented civil servants.”At present the people of Hong Kong are already on the verge of collapse,” the group wrote in the letter, saying it was “a pity that we have seen extreme oppression.”The group also listed five demands: complete withdrawal of the extradition bill; a halt to descriptions of the protests as ‘rioting’; a waiver of charges against those arrested; an independent inquiry and resumption of political reform.The protests against a now suspended extradition bill have widened to demand greater democracy and the resignation of Hong Kong’s leader Carrie Lam, and have become one of the gravest populist challenges to Communist Party rulers in Beijing.China’s new ambassador to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, said on Friday that Beijing supported the action taken by Hong Kong’s government to “bring back the normal order, the rule of law, the normal life of people.”People attend a protest held by civil servants in the Central District of Hong Kong on 2 August 2019, in the latest opposition to a planned extradition law that was quickly evolved into a wider movement for democratic reforms. Photo: AFP”The demonstration has gone far beyond the nature of a peaceful demonstration, it’s really turning out to be chaotic and violent and we should no longer allow them to continue this reprehensible behaviour,” Zhang said. “We do not think that it’s in the long term interest of anyone.”On Thursday the government said Hong Kong’s 180,000 civil servants must remain politically neutral as the city braced for another wave of protests over the weekend and a mass strike on Monday across sectors such as transport, schools and corporates.”At this difficult moment, government colleagues have to stay united and work together to uphold the core values of the civil service,” the government said in a statement.Protest organisers said over 40,000 people participated in Friday’s rally, while the police put the number at 13,000.Police said they had arrested eight people, including a leading pro-independence leader, after seizing weapons and suspected bomb-making material in a raid.Under Chinese rule Hong Kong has been allowed to retain extensive freedoms, such as an independent judiciary, but many residents see the extradition bill as the latest step in a relentless march towards mainland control.Anson Chan, former chief secretary, said the rally was spontaneous and civil servants enjoyed the right to assembly and it could not be said to impair political neutrality.Many civil servants, however, were apprehensive about identifying themselves, with many speaking anonymously or asking for only their first name to be used.More Protests Planned Hundreds of medical workers also demonstrated on Friday to protest against the government’s handling of situation. Large-scale protests are planned for the weekend in Mong Kok, Tseung Kwan O and Western districts.In a warning to protesters, China’s People’s Liberation Army in Hong Kong on Wednesday released a video of “anti-riot” exercises and its top brass warned violence was “absolutely impermissible”.A protestor holds a banner during the medical sector`s rally to support the anti-extradition bill protest in Hong Kong, China on 2 August 2019. Photo: ReutersThe PLA has remained in barracks since protests started in April, leaving Hong Kong’s police force to deal with protests.US president Donald Trump has described protests in Hong Kong as “riots” that China will have to deal with itself. .Police said seven men and a woman, aged between 24 and 31, were arrested on Friday after a raid on a building in the New Territories district of Sha Tin, where police seized weapons and suspected petrol bombs. Making or possessing explosives illegally can carry a sentence of up to 14 years in jail.The police may arrest more people as the investigations unfold, police officer Li Kwai Wah said, adding, “Recently we are very worried about the escalating violence.”Andy Chan, a founder of the pro-independence Hong Kong National Party that was banned last September, was among those arrested. His arrest prompted about 100 protesters to surround a police station to demand his release, television footage showed.On Friday night, crowds of protesters surrounded a police station where Chan was being held, drawing out riot police to the street outside.Civil servants attend a rally to support the anti-extradition bill protest in Hong Kong, China on 2 August 2019. Photo: ReutersOn Wednesday, 44 people were charged in a Hong Kong court with rioting over a recent protest near Beijing’s main representative office in the heart of the city.The escalating protests, which have shut government offices, blocked roads and disrupted business, is taking a toll of the city’s economy and scaring off tourists.Cheng aged 39, who was speaking behind a large black mask, said the recent triad attack on protesters and slow police response had angered him and his civil service peers.Of the five protester demands, he said the need for an independent inquiry into the actions of the police was vital.”I hope to stay in the civil service for a long time. But we have to act now.”
This story is developing, and updates will appear at the bottom of this article.Destiny players celebrate Christmas once a week. Every Friday morning, a special weekend vendor arrives at a random location in the game’s main social hub, the Tower, and sells what is purported to be a randomized selection of the best and rarest (exotic tier) loot in the game. The vendor’s name is Xûr, and if not for his paltry asking price-per-piece, many players wouldn’t have gotten their favorite guns yet — even now, half a year after the game released. Every week, the anticipation of Xûr’s stock creates high hopes, and — due simply to the limited shelf space available — dashes them to the ground. For the past month, one intrepid player has been data mining Destiny to reveal Xûr’s stock before it goes on sale. Bungie has been doing what it can to prevent this player’s predictions, and it has created an escalating war between both factions.The player, the Japanese-speaking Redditor Megamanexe4, has not revealed his specific system for data mining Destiny, but his results have been dead-on since he began revealing them around one month ago. Every week, he has been able to exactly predict not only what Xûr would sell, but the modifiers on the weekly events, as well as uncovered loads of info about the upcoming expansion House of Wolves. Aside from satiating the players’ curiosity, revealing Xûr’s stock has had huge implications on Bungie’s relationship with their game’s community.By nature, a randomized list would mean Xûr’s stock often wouldn’t meet your desires, but the patterns the vendor has exhibited since release have frequently looked more like trolling than a random selection. He sold the worst exotic weapon in the game on Christmas, he has sold the exact same stock (three armor pieces, one weapon, and other assorted goodies) a handful of weeks apart, has sold a stock solely composed of items from the first DLC expansion more than once, and has had streaks of selling the same exact piece of gear over and over for weeks on end. These data points could all be coincidences, but that’s the point on which Destiny’s community sticks; Bungie has explicitly and repeatedly claimed that Xûr’s stock is both random and out of their control. Megamanexe4 seems to have proven otherwise.Bungie had at least one.The Redditor has not only predicted Xûr’s exact stock, the weekly event modifiers, and gear and maps from the upcoming expansion, but has also documented when Xûr’s stock has been manually changed, which again, is something Bungie vehemently claimed they could not do. Last week, Destiny received a tiny patch that installed tools to help Bungie better inspect and manage databases. Astute — or paranoid — members of the community immediately assumed it was to prevent gamers from being able to suss out upcoming content. Earlier today, Megamanexe4 posted an explainer on Reddit that seems to confirm those guesses of the astute and fears of the paranoid.Since that tiny patch, the Redditor explains that there are now two versions of Xûr — an original copy that is still predictable, and a new, unpredictable copy that Bungie manually controls. If Megamanexe4’s observations are to be taken as true, then Bungie managed to fix their Xûr leak — though the weekly event and upcoming DLC data still seems to be running from a faucet. If Bungie does continually use what Megamenexe4 describes as a manually operated Xûr, then the developer figured out a way to beat dataminers. If Megamanexe4 is right and Bungie has been able to alter Xûr’s stock all along, then they’ve either been lying to Destiny’s community or at least intentionally misleading them.What’s worse is that Bungie could’ve used Xûr to alleviate one of the game’s most prevalent bugs that was not only highly obnoxious, but put players at a disadvantage. The bug caused players to lose heavy ammo — ammo for the game’s hardest-hitting tier of weapons, and thus a valuable commodity to have for the game’s most difficult content — on death, after a cutscene, and when you leave a map. The on-death bug was finally patched after months of it wreaking tedious havoc on the gameplay (though it still persists when a cutscene loads or you leave the map). Xûr sporadically stocks a one-shot pack that, when used, replenishes your heavy ammo. Had Bungie just manually added the pack to Xûr’s stock every week, that would’ve quelled most of the community’s outcries. Instead, the developer chose to let the players suffer — at least, that’s how the community sees it.The battle changed from protecting the developer’s private data to maintaining the community’s positive perception of the company. In the end, if plugging the Xûr leaks have come at the cost of the community feeling that Bungie lies to them or allows them to suffer from developer-created bugs, who really lost the war?Update, 3/23/15: Megamanexe4 further explains the Destiny cave in which he mines data, and rather than diamonds, has dug out some coal. In a few updates, he explains what he feels is the backend change that Bungie made to the way the game both handles and delivers data for certain upcoming content. He previously described that he feels there are now two “versions” of Xûr, one that has the originally mined vendor stock data, and another with a stock that Bungie can manually change at will without the need for a game-wide update. When he queries Xûr for data now, it only returns the items from the current week, rather than the items coming in the pipeline.He claims he can still grab the data from the “original” Xûr, but cannot predict the Xûr that seems to be manually controlled and changed by Bungie. He says that if his mining efforts continue to return the same inconclusive data over the next couple of Xûr appearances, that he’ll most likely be unable to produce results anymore. It’s obviously worth noting that Bungie hasn’t commented on the issue, so technically it’s a random Redditor’s word against no one’s right now, but the accuracy of Megamanexe4’s mining efforts certainly instill some credence in his audience.

The new online visa process for Chinese visitors will eliminate the current lengthy process A streamlined online visa application process for Chinese visitors will benefit the Australian tourism industry when it is introduced from next year, according to the Accommodation Association of Australia (AAA).The online process will be a marked improvement on Chinese visitors currently having to fill out a 40-plus page application in English.AAA chief executive officer Richard Munro, who spoke after the announcement of the online tourist visa applications at the Australian Tourism Directions Conference in Canberra, said the change will enhance Australia’s status as a destination for overseas visitors.“With the emergence of the Asian middle class as a key target market for Australian tourism – the number of visitors to Australia from China in the 12 months ending August 2012 was up more than 16 per cent on the same period last year,” Mr Munro added of the importance to make it easier for Chinese visitors to come to Australia.Mr Munro credited the government departments and their minister’s for pursuing the change.

in Daily Dose, Data, Headlines, News Cash Sales Continue Steady Decline in Home Market Cash Sales CoreLogic Home Sales 2015-04-10 Scott_Morgan Share
CoreLogic’s first look at cash sales in 2015 shows that though cash sales made up 39 percent of all home sales in January, the numbers mark the 25th straight month of declines in non-loan purchases.Since the beginning of 2013, cash purchases have comprised a steadily eroding share of the market en route to pre-crash averages. Prior to 2008, cash sales on average made up a quarter of the sale market nationally. Cash sales reached their peak during the worst of the recession, topping out at 46.5 percent in January 2011.With the market stabilizing gradually since 2013, cash sales dropped to 41 percent of the market by January 2014. According to CoreLogic, the share should return to around 25 percent by mid-2018.REO sales had the largest cash sales share‒‒60 percent‒‒in January. Short sales and resales came in mostly evenly split at about a third of the market each; newly built homes made up about 17 percent.Florida and Alabama had the largest shares of cash sales in the nation. Just over 56 percent of home sales in Florida in January were all cash, followed by Alabama’s 54.7 percent. New York, Indiana, and Missouri all came in around 48 percent.In terms of metro areas, Detroit had the largest share of all-cash sales. Cash sales made up a full two-thirds of all home purchases in the Detroit-Dearborn-Livonia region. However, three Florida metros‒‒the Miami, Cape Coral, and Fort Lauderdale areas‒‒each saw cash sales comprise about 60 percent of home sales in January.The nation’s capital had the lowest percentage of cash sales. Cash deals made up 16 percent of January sales in the D.C.-to-Maryland market. By contrast, Maryland statewide had the lowest percentage of cash sales (20) in January. Maine, Colorado, and Massachusetts shared second-lowest place, each reporting 25 percent cash sales. Virginia, Minnesota, and Washington rounded out the states with cash sales of less than 30 percent.CoreLogic based its numbers on year-over-year totals, due to month-to-month seasonal concerns. Month over month, the cash sales share increased by 3.2 percent, which is typical in January, CoreLogic stated. April 10, 2015 517 Views 
The Larnaca water board made a plea to the public on Tuesday to save water or it would be forced to impose fines on anyone caught using their hose to wash things like pavements, streets or cars.In a written announcement, the board said “the conditions of prolonged drought that we are experiencing in Cyprus the past year have had an adverse impact on the quantity of water.“The available quantities of water are not satisfactory enough to fully cover our water needs and that is why the government has already announced restrictions on water available for irrigation purposes.”The government has said there will be no water cuts – at least for the time being, but the board specified that everyone has a duty to save water and avoid wasting it.A law on special measures to save water forbids the use of a water hose to clean pavements, roads, balconies and cars. Although rarely implemented, the board said it would proceed to take action against those found violating the legislation.Someone found guilty can face up to three moths in prison or a maximum fine of €513 or even both. An out of court settlement is a €51 fine to the water board.“Water in Cyprus is scarce and every drop of water we waste today, we will be deprived of tomorrow,” the board said.You May LikeThe-Best-InfoTop 10 Most Expensive Cat BreedsThe-Best-InfoUndoHP Printer HelpdeskHP Printer Support Phone Number +1-800-891-0097 | HP ExpertHP Printer HelpdeskUndoSilentSnoreAnti-Snoring Device Everybody in United States Is Talking AboutSilentSnoreUndo Property owners price themselves out of the marketUndoTwo of serial killer’s victims buried in PhilippinesUndoVerstappen wins crazy German Grand PrixUndoby Taboolaby Taboola
