The makers of the device, who are currently raising money to put it into production on their website, say it can do anything a phone or tablet can, allowing wearers to read emails, surf the web, watch videos, play games and even make phone calls without relying on a conventional screen.
A tiny projector in the bracelet will cast an image onto the skin then eight long-range proximity sensors will detect every swipe, tap and pinch.
The bracelet will also contain a USB port and accelerometer as well as supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
While it will be made so it can sync with an iPhone, it's designed to be a stand-alone device.
- Companies making no effort to attract workers under age 35 because millennials are workplace divas
- While corporations believe millennials are tech savy and creative they had some caveats about hiring employees under 35
- More than half of CFOs said that millennials were disloyal to their companies
Corporations are doing nothing to attract workers under 35 because millennials have a reputation for being workplace divas.
- 46 per cent of corporations said that millennials had a sense of entitlement
A new survey conducted by Duke University and CFO Magazine found that millennials are thought to need more management in the workplace and are also known for leaving jobs at the drop of the hat.
Unfortunately for millennials they are making much less money than their parents did and the economy is still slowly crawling its way out of an economic recession.
[...]a decade’s worth of data that indicate nothing in the way of systemic bias in encounters between law enforcement and citizens (of every color).The survey quoted is available here along with related publications. Obama is lying through his ass. Again.
When you’re staring at an ironclad complicity rap from a general public and liberal base looking for some sign that you stood athwart the black site gates and shouted,“Stop!” yet no such evidence exists or is forthcoming.When you're desperate to save your political ass you find that the CIA is not only convenient, it's a gift from God.
When you’re putting the final touches on a report that somehow cost the taxpayers 40 million dollars, the content of which you characterize as shocking, brutal, and un-American, while looking for a way to extricate yourself and your colleagues from the role of enabler for that which will undoubtedly shock, albeit with intent.
When your unanimous and full-throated opposition to the program you once supported hinges upon the notion that it was not only immoral, but ineffective – because how can you explain shutting down a program, however objectionable, which was effective at pulling actionable intelligence out of high value Al Qaeda leadership detainees?
Four people were killed and at least 22 more were wounded by gunfire in Chicago since Friday. Among the victims were a Loyola University student and a 9-year-old boy.And on Monday there was another murder and eight more shootings. So far this year almost 2,350 people have been shot.
The gun violence also included three shootings involving law enforcement officers. One man was killed, two others were wounded and a Drug Enforcement Agency officer was hit and seriously injured by a car, according to authorities.
In a move Attorney General Eric Holder called a “major and important step forward to ensure effective policing,” the Obama administration issued its new strengthened guidelines Monday banning federal law enforcement from profiling on the basis of national origin, religion, and other characteristics. The strengthened anti-profiling policy is yet another part of the Department of Justice’s attempt to root out what it calls the “unconscious bias” of law enforcement officers.
Though the guidelines apply specifically to federal agencies within the DOJ (the FBI, DEA, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), Holder said he hopes the federal policies will impact local police departments. The new policy will require widespread re-education and even more thorough collection of data for the DOJ’s review.
Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury (1473-1541) The Countess of Salisbury was the last direct descendant of the Plantagenet line - she was a descendant of King Edward III. The countess made the mistake of appearing to side with Katherine of Aragon against the king and he declared her a traitor. She was arrested two years before her execution and badly treated and neglected as a prisoner in the Tower of London. She was not given a trial. She was small, frail and ill.
But she was a proud noble. She was dragged to the block, but refused to lay her head on the block. She was forced down and struggled. The inexperienced executioner made a gash in her shoulder rather than her neck. She leapt from the block and was chased by the executioner, with his axe. She was struck eleven times before she died. There were 150 witnesses to her execution. She was 68 years of age.While never losing its appeal in the Mid East, this style is seeing a dramatic resurgence as Sharia Chic sweeps out of the Fertile Crescent and takes Europe by storm.
