Worldwide shipments of tablet computers shrank anew in the second quarter of this year Boutique Femme Salomon Speedcross 3 CS Outdoor Hiking Trail Pourpre Orange , International Data Corporation reported on Monday.
A total of 38.7 million tablets were shipped during the April-June quarter,a 12.3 percent drop from the 44.1 million a year ago, the research firm said.
The IDC Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker report has shown declining sales since 2015 when the once-hot market cooled.
In the second quarter this year, Google-backed Android software powered 65 percent of the tablets shipped.
Tablets using the Apple iOS operating system came in at second place, representing 26 percent of shipments.
Tablets running on Microsoft Windows software accounted for the remaining shipments Femme Salomon Speedcross 3 CS Outdoor Hiking Trail Rose Blanche Pas Cher , but there were early signs that device makers were warming to Windows tablets as a hedge against declining interest in Android, according to IDC.
Tablet makers are evidently targeting people who want to get work done instead of simply using devices for entertainment.
Multi-tasking and productivity have long been strong suits for Microsoft products.
"The market has spoken as consumers and enterprises seek more productive form factors and operating systems -- it's the reason we're seeing continued growth in detachables," said IDC senior research analyst Jitesh Ubrani.
"At present, it's difficult for Android to compete with iOS or Windows detachable products."
Apple remained the top tablet maker in the second quarter, shipping 10 million iPads to command 25.8 percent of the market Homme Salomon XT Hornet Trail Noir Bleu France , IDC reported.
Samsung continued in second place, despite seeing the number of tablets shipped sink by 24.5 percent from a year ago to six million units.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. State Department said on Thursday that the United States will not recognize Venezuela's National Constituent Assembly (ANC) tasked to amend the Constitution.
"We are evaluating all our policy options (as) to what we can do to create a change of conditions, where either (Venezuelan President Nicolas) Maduro decides he does not have a future and wants to leave on his own accord, or we can return the government processes back to the constitution Boutique Homme Salomon XT Hornet Trail Noir Rouge ," the department said in a statement.
The United States on Monday slapped economic sanctions on Maduro, just one day after Venezuela held elections for the ANC. "By sanctioning Maduro, the United States makes clear our opposition to the policies of his regime," U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.
Maduro rebuffed U.S. sanctions that targeted him personally, saying he was "proud" to be singled out by the measure.
"They sanction me because I call for an electoral process that is unique in the history of the Americas ... because I don't obey the orders of foreign governments? If that is so Boutique Homme Salomon Snowcross CS Outdoor Boots Noir Grise , then I feel proud of the proposed sanction," said Maduro.
"The threats and sanctions ... do not intimidate me... I have nothing to fear," Maduro said, adding that the sanctions serve to highlight the impotence, desperation and hatred felt in Washington.
The U.S. Treasury Department Boutique Homme Salomon XT 3D Wings Ultra Trail Jaune Blanche , which had slapped sanctions on 13 current or former senior officials of the Venezuelan government aside from Maduro, warned on Monday that anyone who participates in the ANC could be exposed to future U.S. sanctions.
The vote for the ANC on Sunday came at a time of high tensions in Venezuela, with anti-government protests organized by the opposition having led to more than 110 deaths since early April.

MOGADISHU adidas outdoor sko udsalg , Nov.11 (Xinhua) -- A Somali official was killed Tuesday by unidentified gunmen in the capital Mogadishu.
Mohamud Abdi Addow Dhabarey, the country's deputy head of the immigration, was driving at KM4 junction in Mogadishu when gunmen who drove next to his car and started shooting. The official was with two other people, including his body guard.
Dhabarey, who had been the head of the airport immigration for 7 years, was promoted to the deputy head of the immigration last year and remained his office in the airport where he headed the immigration and security of the airport.
The government didn't comment on the killing yet, but Al- Shabaab claimed the responsibility of the assassination in a statement published on its website.
""Al-Shabaab mobile forces killed the head of Mogadishu's airport immigration who was passing at KM4 junction adidas originals tubular udsalg , the execution forces escaped the place safely,"" said the statement.
Also on the day, Somali MP Mohamed Omar Dalha survived from an assassination attempt, which, however, claimed the lives of his body guard and driver.
The security situation of Mogadishu is in shaking for the last two weeks after Somali leaders, the President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and PM Abdiweli went into internal conflict that paralyzed the government's daily activity and put the security in jeopardy.

In years gone by adidas originals sko udsalg , the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) was dominated by names like the Guangdong South China Tigers, the Beijing Ducks and the Xinjiang Flying Tigers. But this year, in a stunning reversal of fortune, the Liaoning Flying Leopards are flying high.
Now the unbeaten Flying Leopards sit on top of the league table with an unparalleled 16 wins in a row, having seen off those former leading lights of the CBA. Liaoning, whose best finish in the last five regular seasons was eighth, are riding high as the half-season champions adidas nmd dame udsalg , with three rounds still to play.
Some pay tribute to Liao-ning's new signing, American shooting guard Lester Hudson, who contributed an average of 29.9 points in 16 games.
Hudson, the CBA's best foreign player of the regular -season in 2013-14 when playing for Xinjiang, may be one of the factors behind Liaoning's rise, but it's not the crucial one.
Center Han Dejun has been a consistent contributor to Liaoning's games, but he was -beset by injuries last season. An injury--free Han has averaged 16.6 points and 8.8 rebounds in an average of 27.8-minute court time.
Some other Flying Leopards who were previously injury-prone have also shrugged off the bugs.
Take China international Guo Ailun as an example. Last season the young point guard was beleaguered by a right-arm injury adidas nmd udsalg , which meant he only played six games.
Now recovered, Guo has played 15 of the 16 games and delivered an average of 11.1 points as well as 4.9 assists.
This means Liaoning coach Guo Shi-qiang can field a more balanced team: Key players' court time now ranges from 20 to 30 -minutes, except Hudson's higher average of 37.9 minutes.
On Wednesday, Liaoning will host 2012-13 playoff finalists the Shandong Gold and then visit the Fujian Sturgeons on Friday before meeting the Fo-shan Long Lions on Sunday.
These three teams are -currently outside the top eight, which fueled expectations that Liaoning will maintain their winning streak.
It seems the only question remaining is: When and who can bring Liaoning's run of wins to an end?

Unseeded German Julia Goerges burst into the WTA Auckland Classic limelight on Thursday with a dramatic come-from-behind win to oust Caroline Wozniacki in the quarterfinals.
The 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat of the Danish third seed and former world No.1 eliminated the last of the tournament drawcards, a day after the exit of the two top seeds Serena and Venus Williams.
Rain disruptions early in the week meant Goerges did not take the court until Wednesday jordan 6 golden harvest mens , when she had straight-sets wins over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Naomi Broady.
But the 28-year-old German appeared lost for the first 10 games of her quarterfinal as Wozniacki raced through the first set and took a 3-0 lead.
Then came Goerges' transformation as her first serve found its mark, as did her powerful forehand as she reeled off six straight games to level at one set all.
She pulled away to 5-2 in the third set only to drop a game as she served for the match, but then made no mistake two games later.
Goerges will play eighth seed Ana Konjuh in the semifinals with Jelena -Ostapenko, the seventh seed and only other seeded player to make the final four, up against Lauren Davis.
Konjuh had an easy passage into the final four when Japan's Naomi Osaka pulled out of their quarterfinal with a wrist injury.
Osaka http://www.jordan6goldenharvest.com/ , who progressed to the quarterfinals without hitting a ball when -Venus Williams defaulted through injury, was down 0-3 in the first set when she decided she could not play on.
Latvia's Ostapenko overcame a slow start to beat American Madison Brengle 7-5, 6-3 in their quarterfinal.
Brengle, who pulled off the biggest win of her career when she conquered Serena Williams in the second round, quickly found her range to race to a 3-0 lead in the first set.
But the 19-year-old Ostapenko air jordan 6 golden harvest shoes , despite struggling with her first serve, proved too strong from the baseline. She won five consecutive games to take -control in the first set before wrapping up the match in 88 minutes.
Earlier, American Davis knocked out fourth seed Barbora Strycova in straight sets in the first quarterfinal.
After cruising to a 6-1 win in the first set, she found the going much tougher in the second set before prevailing in the tiebreaker 74.

One will have to go to a smoke school in order to be trained on how to determine if emissions are compliant with environmental regulations. This is a concern for personnel who have to work in operations and for environmental professionals. To be able to enroll in such an institution one will have to check the schedule and determine smoke school locations.
Location is an important consideration as this can determine how much traveling is needed. You will need enough time to be able to get to these classes. It would be best if you can find an accredited institution that is just near your home or your office but this will not always be the case. Therefore, you will have to obtain more information about where these facilities are located.
There will be many institutions to choose from but not all of these will offer classes in a convenient location. Check a number of these reputable institutions to determine which one is the nearest. Note that schedule also has to be checked. You will have to do some searching to find the most suitable option for the company.
Note that the course can consist of classroom lectures but time will be spent on the field as well for some practice. Lectures and field work can be held in the same place but this will not be possible all the time. Make it a point to check both these addresses so you will not find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

China's forward Zhou Peng (No.10) and center Zhou Qi (No.10) defend against USA's guard Demar Derozan during on Saturday at the Rio Olympic Games. Photo: CFP
Zhou Qi has been touted as possibly the next Yao Ming since the Houston Rockets drafted the 20-year-old Chinese center with the 43rd overall pick in June's NBA Draft.
But the 2.17-meter prospect still has some work to do, based on three games for China against the United States Olympic team of NBA stars, who ripped China 119-62 on Saturday in a group-stage Rio Olympic opener.
Zhou was contained to three points, all from free throws Mens Air Jordan 6 Golden Harvest Golden Wheat Retail Price , and an 0-for-2 shooting effort from the floor over -nearly 18 minutes by a swarming, defense--minded US team.
"Their team defense gave us a hard time, stopping us from what we wanted to do," Chinese center Wang Zhelin said through a translator.
It was a far cry from Zhou's team-high 13 points in a 107-57 loss to the USA squad 11 days ago http://www.jordan6goldenharvest.com/air-jordan-6-release-2017.html , which brought hope that he might quickly step into a key role with the Rockets. The Xinjiang Flying Tigers center has led the Chinese league in blocked shots the past two seasons, but his contract could be bought out next year, giving him the chance to play for the same squad where Chinese giant Yao became an NBA star.
"He's going to be very good," said US coach Mike Krzyzewski. "He has all the skills necessary - he's friendly with the ball air jordan 6 release 2017 , seven feet tall, he picked up the physicality, he was trying to be physical. I mentioned this morning with my staff, I said jordan 6 retro release 2017 , 'You know Qi is getting better.'"
He burst on the scene at the 2011 world junior tournament by scoring 41 points, grabbing 28 rebounds and blocking 15 shots in a semifinal triumph over Germany.
"Mentally, every time our guys face USA, they have weakness and disadvantage jordan 6 release 2017 ," China coach Gong Luming said through a translator. "When things go against us on the court in the game, our guys fall into the trap that they are not able to do the things they want."

ROME jordan 1 wheat golden harvest , Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- World hunger in 2016 was on the rise again after over a decade, due to the combining effect of conflicts and climate change, the United Nations food health agencies declared in a report released here Friday.
The estimated number of undernourished people increased from 777 million in 2015 to 815 million in 2016, according to the report titled "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World".
The prevalence of hunger in the global population rose from 10.6 percent in 2015 to 11 percent in 2016.
This was the first annual rise in the number of undernourished since 2003, when the world registered a record 947.2 million people hungry (14.9 percent) from 936.3 million the previous year.
"One out of nine people went to bed hungry every day in 2016 jordan 1 wheat pre order , and this has happened just two years after all countries committed to eradicating hunger and extreme poverty by 2030," Jose Graziano Da Silva, director general of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), told a news conference.
"This is the price we are paying for recession, conflicts jordan 1 wheat for sale , and climate change altogether," the FAO chief added.
Overall, Africa was the continent hardest hit in terms of prevalence, with some 20 percent of its population hungry in 2016, and a peak of 33.9 percent in eastern Africa. It was followed by Asia with 11.7 percent jordan 1 high wheat , and Latin American and the Caribbean with 6.6 percent.
In terms of number, however, about 520 million out of the overall 815 million undernourished in the world lived in Asian countries.
The report pointed at wars and climate-related events as two key drivers behind the new rise.
"More than half of those hungry in 2016 -- some 489 million people -- lived in countries affected by conflicts, which have rapidly become more numerous, increasingly in tandem with droughts jordan 1 retro wheat , floods and other climate-related shocks," the paper stated.
Officials at the press conference acknowledged the impressive results against global hunger in the last decades: the number of undernourished was cut by some 216 million in about 25 years (2015 FAO statistics), while global population grew from over 5 billion to over 7 billion.
Conflicts and climate change would feed each, creating a negative spiral. "The concurrence of conflict and climate-related disasters is likely to increase with climate change," the UN report said.
For the first time this year jordan 1 wheat release , the "State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World" report was drafted by five UN agencies, with UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO) joining Rome-based UN food agencies FAO, WFP, and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

OTTAWA， Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Canada will change the way it selects Supreme Court justices， allowing qualified lawyers or judges to apply for the openings on the top court themselves， Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday.
In Canada， the prime minister picks Supreme Court justices and the choice is not subject to parliamentary approval.
"Gone are the days of governments -- Liberal and Conservative alike -- nominating Supreme Court justices through a secretive backroom process，" Trudeau said.
Under the new system， any qualified Canadian lawyer or judge who is functionally bilingual and representative of the diversity of Canada can nominate themselves for the top court's job.
The application period will end on Aug. 24 this year just before Justice Thomas Cromwell retires in September this year.
Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell will chair a seven-member， non-partisan advisory board who will recommend three to five candidates to Trudeau for consideration. But their recommendations are non-binding.
The eventual nominees will be questioned by lawmakers of all parties.
The previous selection system sparked controversy when then Prime Minister Stephen Harper tapped Marc Nadon， a semi-retired Federal Court of Appeal judge， for one of three slots reserved for judges from Quebec on the top court. The Supreme Court rejected Harper's pick， saying Nadon was not qualified.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. dollar declined against most major currencies on Thursday as investors took profits from recent gains.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that it's appropriate for the central bank to continue gradually tighten its monetary policy in view of the uncertainties around inflation.
Investors saw a 78 percent chance the Fed would raise rates at its Dec. 12-13 policy meeting, according to CME Group's FedWatch program.
On the economic front jordan 1 wheat , U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the second quarter of 2017, on par with market consensus, according to the third estimate released by the Commerce Department on Thursday.

DAMASCUS， June 6 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian military continued to advance into the northern province of al-Raqqa， the de facto capital of the Islamic State (IS) group， just days after crossing the administrative borders of that troublesome area under Russian air support.
Government forces are now only 40 km from the key airbase of al-Tabaqa in a town under the same name in the southern countryside of al-Raqqa， according to the pan-Arab al-Mayadeen TV.
The military has been trying to cut the IS supply route between al-Raqqa and the northern province of Aleppo， and al-Tabaqa and its airbase are one of the primary goals for that effort.
The latest military offensive started last week from the town of Athraya in the countryside of the central province of Hama.
In a bid to slow down the military advance， the IS started a counter offensive near Athraya on Monday， but their attack was rendered flat and huge losses were inflicted upon them， a military source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The IS militant group has become in the eye of the tornado recently， with the Syrian army closing in from the south of al-Raqqa， while the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)， a Kurdish-led rebel alliance， is advancing in the northern countryside of al-Raqqa， and closing in on the city of Manbej， another IS stronghold on the Turkish borders.
Analysts in Syria believe that there is an undeclared understanding between Washington and Moscow to quell the momentum of the terror group and isolate it， especially when the group is suffering in neighboring Iraq， under the broad offensive of the Iraqi forces on the Iraqi city of Falluja.
Meanwhile， the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said intense battles are still raging near Manbej， as part of the SDF effort to storm the city from three directions， after capturing over 48 villages and farmlands in the city's countryside.
The seven-day battles near Manbej have so far killed 107 people， including 25 civilians， and the rest is divided between the IS and the SDF fighters， said the London-based watchdog group.
It added that SDF forces are now 4 km from the southern gates of the city， 7-10 km from its east， and 10-15 km from its north.
The advance of the Kurdish forces in northern Syria near the Turkish borders have apparently raised the ire of Turkey， which deems any strong Kurdish presence near its borders as a threat.
The Turkish leadership has repeatedly warned against the advance of Kurdish forces in northern Syria， but at the same time， it didn't want to involve in a military offensive directly against the Kurds， who are largely backed by the U.S.， one of Ankara's key allies.
On Monday， the Observatory said Turkish forces infiltrated the borders with Syria into the town of Jatel， starting to build a wall in that area to separate the borders， in what appeared to be a precautionary Turkish step to protect its borders from the violence next door.

I know the date but since it is yet to be confirmed I cannot say that right now," Media Minister and Cabinet spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella said.
Rambukwella said that the public must put aside differences over race and religion during the election and ensure national interests are given priority.
He said that an EU court ruling in support of Tamil Tiger rebels issued last week was an attempt by the bloc to gather support against President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Rambukwella said that President Rajapaksa has now become a headache to the West and if it was someone else Nike Air Max 97 OG UNDFTD Undefeated Schwarz Rot Kaufen , he or she would have bent over, not once but four times Damen Nike Air Max 2018.5 Schwarz Rosa Bestellen , to meet the demands of the international community.
An EU court last week ruled against sanctions imposed on the rebels who fought a 30 year war against the Sri Lankan military before the rebels were eventually defeated in 2009. President Mahinda Rajapaksa said over the weekend that there was a hidden hand behind the decision by the EU court to rule against the sanctions.

Women who undergo routine mammograms at the Women's Imaging Center have the latest screening and diagnostic technology available to them. Longmont United Hospital is one of the first hospitals in Boulder County to offer 3D breast tomosynthesis – also known as 3D mammography.
3D mammography offers exceptionally sharp breast images, an advanced ergonomic design providing more patient comfort, and a ground-breaking 3D tomosynthesis platform designed to deliver superior screening and diagnostic performance.
Breast tomosynthesis is a revolutionary technology that gives radiologists the ability to identify and characterize individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissue. During a breast tomosynthesis exam, multiple, low-dose images of the breast are acquired at different angles. These images are then used to produce a series of one-millimeter thick slices that can be viewed as a 3D reconstruction of the breast.
I last wrote about Mafia a couple of years ago. The smoke ring effects, which are basically in every cutscene, still look decent for a 15 year-old game. PC Gamer UK awarded it 91% back in the day—I remember reading that review in the magazine and being instantly sold on it.
It's remarkably violent, too. Clay can smash opponents with third-person takedowns and clear rooms with a huge revolver. Enemy gang members can be captured, interrogated and then killed or spared depending on your mood. Your decisions will supposedly be reflected by the changing city as the story progresses.

In 1930, Thomas "Tommy" Angelo (Michael Sorvino), a local taxi driver, is strong-armed into helping two mobsters working for crime boss, Don Ennio Salieri (George DiCenzo), escape from an ambush planned by members of the Morello family, and is compensated for his trouble with a promise of assistance if he requires it. The next day, Tommy lures two thugs that attempt to kill him, to a bar owned by the Salieri family where they are promptly gunned down.
To increase the production of resources, upgrade these buildings. As I said above, the cost of upgrades will increase as you progress. So, it would be better to keep upgrading these buildings so that you will never have the problem of shortage.

FORT WORTH, Texas — It was about this time last year that Rob Waters, the Tour manager for Cleveland, Srixon and XXIO, started to notice a growing equipment trend with his staff on the PGA TOUR.To get more golf news, you can visit shine news official website.
Srixon has made a name for itself in the forged iron category, but for the first time Waters could recall, the equipment manufacturer’s utility iron usage started to take off — in particular, the Z U65.
“We had about four or five guys playing it at the time,” Waters said. “But each week we’d have guys coming in saying, ‘I watched Keegan [Bradley] hit these shots with those utility clubs and I want to get some.
“We had a stretch for about 8 or 9 weeks last year where we were getting a couple new guys playing it each week.”
Last week at the AT&T Byron Nelson, there were 21 Z U65 and Z U45 utility irons in play — the only difference between Z U65 and Z U45 is updated badging — compared to just 12 from the previous competitor.
That’s become the norm over the last 12 months with Z U65 consistently winning the utility iron count most weeks on TOUR.
“Getting staffers to play it was never a problem,” Waters said. “When it really changed for us was when non-staffers started asking to have a couple built. These are people who try stuff but usually, once they find something they like, it’s staying in the bag.”
A majority of the players using Z U65 have a 2- or 3-iron in the bag, but a few have extended it to the 4- and 5-iron. Ernie Els has even requested a 6-iron to test. Like most utility irons on TOUR, players are removing traditional long irons for Z U65, preferring the improved feel, higher launch angle and additional spin it provides from a variety of lies.
According to Waters, the launch angle is roughly plus two or three degrees higher for most players during testing, meaning it’s easier for them to hold firm greens.
From a design standpoint, the hollow-construction Z U65 is forged from S20C carbon steel and features a thin, high-strength SUP10 face that improves ball speeds, and a low, deep CG promotes the higher launch angle. A thick muscle pad in the lower portion of the head adds additional forgiveness and improved turf interaction.
“They feel like they can control it better than a hybrid,” Waters noted. “It’s easy to get in the air. We’re building most with steel shafts and the same length as their iron set. Length isn’t the goal here. Guys are looking for more forgiveness and height.
“I still remember Ernie [Els] telling me that when he has the 5-iron in his hand, it’s like having an 80-yard wedge shot. He has that kind of control and confidence with that club in his hands.”
kengo kuma transforms shanghai shipyard with graduated brick façades
on the banks of shanghai’s huangpu river, kengo kuma has transformed a
disused shipyard into a vibrant new destination that contains a theater
and retail outlets. built in 1972, the brick building was the last
factory existing in lujiazui — now the city’s thriving financial center.
when in use, massive ships were built inside the cavernous structure
before being delivered directly onto the adjacent river. consequently,
the building comprises a series of 200 meter-long column-less sheds.Find
the latest shanghai news,
stories and opinions on politics, business, society, lifestyle and
culture, as well as featured stories and multimedia coverage from SHINE.
kengo kuma and associates (KKAA) was tasked with filling this volume
with commercial programming and a mid-sized theater facility. in order
to preserve the building’s spatial qualities, the design team created a
30 meter-tall void that runs throughout the entire structure — allowing
visitors to experience the shipyard’s impressive scale. the effect is
further strengthened by the concrete columns that support the building.
the factory’s north façade, with its original brickwork restored, is
oriented to face the river. however, to the south, the factory is more
exposed with its heavy concrete columns on view. ‘in order to establish a
dialogue between these south and north façades, and emphasize this
fascinating duality, we have designed the main façade (west side) as a
brickwork gradation changing its density and permeability from the
opacity of the north side into the complete transparency of the south
side,’ explains KKAA.
internally, the theater is situated at the eastern end of the building,
close to the river. during performances, a curtain at the rear of the
stage can be removed, offering views of the river through a large glass
window. other projects by kengo kuma in china include a tea house, which
was renovated using hollow polyethylene blocks, and a folk museum for
the china academy of art.
