No infectious disease found

The Ministry of Health said Friday that it has not found pilgrims suffering from an infectious disease.
"No cases of infectious diseases or diseases that require quarantine such as the MERS coronavirus have been detected among pilgrims so far the ministry said."
Meanwhile, the ministry's clinics in Makkah and Madinah treated 761,761 outpatients and 271 inpatients from Sept. 7 to Oct. 2, while the health centers treated 704,860 pilgrims.
The ministry's hospitals also provided specialized treatment including cardiac catheterization for 38 pilgrims, kidney dialysis for 189 pilgrims, seven keyhole surgeries and five childbirths.
The 25 hospitals in Makkah have 5,250 beds. There are 141 health centers in areas where pilgrims congregate, and 17 emergency health centers on the Jamarat Bridge. The ministry opened facilities three years ago for cardiac catheterization, open-heart surgery and kidney dialysis. The ministry said its hospitals last year conducted 463 cardiac catheterizations, 35 open-heart surgeries and 2,024 kidney dialysis sessions.

Moon sighting urged
The Supreme Court has called on Muslims to look for the new moon on Saturday evening.
If the moon is sighted today, the first of Dhul Hijjah will be on Oct. 6 and Haj will start Sunday (Oct. 13). The most important Haj rite - Standing at Arafat - will be on Oct. 14 followed by Eid Al-Adha on Oct. 15.
The court said anyone who sights the moon with the naked eye or a telescope should inform the nearest court and register his or her statement.

Cleaners deployed
The Makkah Municipality has deployed 23,000 workers and a great deal of equipment to keep the city and holy sites clean during the coming weeks.
It will also ensure the safety of food supplied or cooked at local markets and supervise conditions at slaughterhouses, where thousands of livestock will be sacrificed.
The municipality has 59 specialists from the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs to inspect food being prepared or sold during Haj.
The municipality has been working with provincial departments of public health, veterinary medicine and health inspectors since Sept. 26.

Non-Arab African Hajis
A total of 172,000 non-Arab African pilgrims would be accommodated in 18,000 tents in Arafat, an official said here recently.
Fahd Hariri, chairman of the Holy Sites Committee, a subsidiary of the Non-Arab African Tawafa Establishment, said the space allocation was made on the basis of the number of pilgrims in its various sub groups, at a meeting on tent allocations recently.
Hariri said pilgrims would be allocated 87,244 square 5s iphone meters cases for boys to take to school. The space will include 39 field service groups, extra service tents and medical services.
The Ministry of Haj and various committees will inspect the tents before pilgrims arrive.

Exclusive: Valley Stream Family Seeks To Keep Daughter's Killer Behind Bars

<aluminump>VALLEY STREAM, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) - A family on Long Island is rallying to keep their daughter's killer in prison as he faces possible parole.

As CBS 2′s Carolyn Gusoff reported exclusively, this is the first time convicted killer Robert Golub has been eligible for parole.

Kelly Ann Tinyes was 13 when she was lured and murdered 25 years ago in Valley Stream in a case that made headlines for months.

Robert Golub was convicted of her murder.

The infamous case was dubbed "Hell On Horton Road," because Golub butchered his Valley Stream neighbor.

In the prison system, he's inmate 90A-8024, but on Long Island his name is infamous.

"He's a horrible monster," Vicki Tinyes, Kelly's mother, told Gusoff.

"They can't let him out," Richard Tinyes said. "It's too hard on the family knowing that this guy might go out and murder somebody else."

They will soon urge the New York State Parole Board to keep Golub behind bars.

Kelly Ann was savagely killed in 1989. Her body was found strangled and sexually mutilated inside the neighbor's Valley Stream house, just doors away.

Golub, then 21 and a body builder, was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.

"They should have electrocuted him, whatever you want to do. He should be dead, we shouldn't have to be going through this," Vicki Tinyes said.

For years, tensions simmered on Horton Road. One Golub son was behind bars but suspicions lingered about his younger brother. Only Robert was charged in Nassau's first murder case based on DNA.

"He always professed his innocence," Golub's trial attorney Salvatore Marinello told Gusoff.

He says with a record dotted with only petty prison offenses, Golub could one day go free.

"There will be at some point, whether it's now or in a number of years, where parole will have no choice but to let him out," said Marinello

Kelly would be 38 had she lived. Her family has an online petition for the parole board detailing all she's missed.

"Everything. Her memories, Sweet 16, her first car," Richard Tinyes said.

Kelly's parents still live on Horton Road, while the Golubs recently moved away.

All these years later, the Tinyes' say they have to relive the horror. Golub will be eligible for parole every two years unless his is granted release.

Fourteen members of the Tinyes family will testify before the parole board on Oct. 17 and Golub will have his turn to testify next month before the parole board makes its decision.

Apple iPhone 5S Review

<5s iphone iphone 5 cases otterbox prefixp>With every major iPhone redesign comes the inevitable S series refresh a year later. Like the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 3GS before it, the new iPhone 5S takes last year's form factor and adds improved camera technology, a faster processor, and new features exclusive to the latest hardware. But while the iPhone 5S may be predictable, it's nonetheless exceptional, maintaining and improving upon Apple's outstanding software experience and the stunning design of the iPhone 5.

Save for the new, slightly larger camera and dual-LED 'TrueTone' flash on the back and TouchID fingerprint sensor in the home button, the iPhone 5S is identical to last year's model. Apple has maintained the same hardened glass front and aluminum chassis, but now it's offering two new colors - space gray and gold. Space gray is more or less last year's black model with a slightly lighter shade of aluminum, but gold is a true first for the iPhone series. Depending on where your preferences lie, the gold version may be regarded as either gaudy or gorgeous, but regardless of personal taste, it's refreshing to see Apple embracing colors outside of its longstanding black and white iPhone variants.

In spite of any drastic design changes, the iPhone 5S remains one of the best looking, most well-constructed smartphones on the market. Although the competition has shown renewed interest in design with devices like the HTC One, Lumia 925, and the Moto X, Apple remains unrivaled in its meticulous consideration for hardware.

Under the hood, the iPhone 5S' advancements are far more significant. Apple has laid claim to producing the world's first 64-bit processor in the world with the new A7 system-on-a-chip (SOC). While the actionable benefits of its 64-bit architecture are limited until more apps and games are developed natively or optimized to take advantage, the A7 has perceivable impact on the speed of iOS 7 and apps. Browsing through iOS 7's animation-heavy interface and launching apps is notably faster than the iPhone 5. In GeekBench 3 and 3D Mark benchmark tests, the iPhone 5S more than doubles the CPU scores of the iPhone 5 and three times the framerates when running intense graphics.

The iPhone 5S also commands a substantial lead in processing power over the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, accounting for a graphics boost of up to 32% and 38% in CPU benchmarks.

But the A7 means more than raw power - it actually enables useful features, like the iPhone 5S' expanded camera functionality.

Though the iPhone 5S' camera retains the 8-megapixel count of the iPhone 5, it's now capable of capturing 120 frames-per-second slow-motion video and 10 frames-per-second burst photography. Driven by the A7, the camera snaps photos and videos faster for cleaner, more detailed, and more vibrant shots. Burst mode's rapid capture speeds eliminate the need to time the perfect shot - just hold the shutter button down and the iPhone %S will snap a string of photos, automatically presenting the best of the bunch. Slow-motion, although viewed as a novelty, is actually one of my favorite features of the iPhone 5S.

Everything - even the most mundane of actions - looks incredible and epic in slow motion with smooth, detailed progressions. While many are certain to embrace the iPhone 5S' slow-motion camera for comedy, an equal share will create stunning montages.

Apple has also made improvements to the lens and sensor. The rear-facing camera now has a ƒ2.2 aperture lens and 1.5µ pixel sensor, which gathers and processes more light for better low-light photography and richer composition. Though the improvements aren't so significant to warrant an upgrade by itself, the iPhone 5S has one of the best smartphone cameras on the market.

The feature most likely to attract attention, however, is the new fingerprint scanner. Apple has built a new sensor into the home button, which is capable of detecting certain distinguishing elements of your fingerprint almost instantaneously. By simply placing your thumb on the sensor - or any finger, for that matter - the iPhone 5S can identify your fingerprint and unlock your phone. When you set up the iPhone 5S for the first time (or access the settings anytime thereafter), you can register a new fingerprint profile via a brief calibration process. The system asks that you repeatedly press your finger to the sensor, including the edges of your print, so that it can capture and store a unique TouchID. The iPhone 5S supports multiple profiles for multiple fingers and users, allowing you to give loved ones streamlined access to your device while maintaining a high level of security. It even allows you to forego the tedium of entering a password every time you want to download a new app - just scan your finger and you're good to go.

Initially, it took awhile for me to shake the learned behavior of waking my display and quickly entering a pin code, but once I became accustomed to TouchID, it became almost like second-nature. Gone are the days where I would mistakenly hit the wrong digit or press one number too many times. Now, I don't have to look at my phone while I unlock it - I just go straight to the primary UI and launch an app.

The only I gripes I've found with the iPhone 5S are minor. Calibrating the TouchID for each finger on either hand that you may choose to use to unlock your device can be time consuming. There were also times - albeit rarely - when the TouchID would fail to recognize my fingerprint, causing me to make repeated attempts before just unlocking the device manually, thus defeating the purpose entirely.

Apple is also becoming increasingly behind the curve in terms of battery life. While the iPhone 5S lasts for a day's worth of casual use, charge levels are substantially undercut by any rigorous app or game usage. The iPhone 5S remains within the acceptable margins, but falls short of larger Android and Windows Phone devices. I also encountered a few odd software bugs, wherein third-party apps would crash randomly and cause the OS to revert to the boot-up logo. It's possible that the issues stem from the absence of patched support for the A7's 64-bit architecture or lingering issues with iOS 7, but in either scenario, should be resolved easily with future updates.

Bucharest metro commuters get daily poetry read from Julius Meinl

<mcimg src="http://www.romania-insider.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/julius-meinl-poetry-metro.jpg">

Around 260,000 post-its with poems wallpapered the Bucharest metro trains on Wednesday and Thursday (October 2,3) on the Berceni - Pipera route, part of a campaign initiated by Julius Meinl. The scope of the campaign is to support and promote Romanian poetry, as commuters by metro are allowed to take post-its from the walls of the metro trains.

At every end of the metro line, new post-its will be placed on the walls, to replace those taken by travelers. An initial stock of 40,000 post-its were placed on Wednesday morning.

Writing poetry is more popular in Romania than writing novels, but on the consumption front, the trend reverses. Every year, over 20 volumes of poetry and debut volumes are published, and out of all Romanians poets, 20 percent are under 25 years old, according to data from the organizers. There are 800 poets listed at the Poetry Section of the Romanian Writers' Union, out of which 300 are from Bucharest.

Otterbox releases the Defender Series case for iPhone 5s

Protection, protection is one of the greatest needs of human. Not just from the malicious intent of other people that might cause harm to them. Well, dying is the worst result without it and it's really frightening. Other than that, we need protection from natural disaster, you know, something that happen naturally like it can't be helped to be harm if you're not being careful in an accident. To put into a scenario, it's like driving a motorcycle on a rainy day and on the wet road without a helmet or a police diving into a bank robbery scene alone without a bulletproof vest, yes it's suicidal. Well, danger is only right there (please don't ask where. >.<) and all we can do is to be more careful, sharp and use materials for protection and safety assuring devices. Right, protection is something you, me, and everyone needs.

But in this world, we are not the only ones that need protection. Of course, even plants and animals need it. And on the other side, even "Things" need it. Like your beloved PC or laptops, you install an anti-virus into it in able to avoid the incoming information with harmful data in your computer.

This three layers in Defender Series can be found on its screen protectors, carbonate inner layer, and a silicone outer layer that handles the protection you need. Other than this Defender series are Commuter series, Reflexive series and Prefix Series for iPhone 5s.

Commuter Series

As the Defender series has three layers. The Commuter Series possess with only two layers, they made it for user who needs protection but they don't like the size of the natural case so OtterBox deduct one layer to make its physical appearance smaller than a three layer.

iPhone 5C teardown reveals upgrades and design changes

The 5s best iphone cases speck mighty vault 5C has the same processor, rear camera, and Retina display as the iPhone 5. But Apple didn't just slap a series of colorful plastic cases on last year's phone. On the inside, the 5C is a unique device, with hardware upgrades and design elements from both the 5 and new 5S.

On the outside, it's the iPhone 5C's colorful polycarbonate cases that really set the phone apart from the 5 and 5S. And thanks to this case, it's also slightly longer, wider, thicker and a bit heavier than the other two iPhones.

But peel back the case, and the 5C reveals itself to be a unique device, which borrows traits from both the other phones.

Bill Detwiler/TechRepublic Check out the full teardown gallery, Cracking Open the Apple iPhone 5C.

Cracking Open observations

Opening the phone still requires special tools: One thing that all three phones share is how you crack them open. You'll need a special pentalobe screwdriver to remove the external case screws and a suction cup (and possibly a few thin, prying tools) to remove the front panel.

Bill Detwiler/TechRepublic

Home button similar to iPhone 5: Unlike the new 5S, there's no ribbon cable connecting the Home button to the lower connector assembly. This simplifies the task of removing the front panel.

Familiar internal hardware layout: The 5C shares the same general hardware layout as the iPhone 5 and 5S, but there are both differences and similarities--outlined below.

Bill Detwiler/TechRepublic

Better battery than iPhone 5, but no removal tab: The 5C has a slightly higher-capacity battery than the 5, but a lower capacity battery than the 5S. And like the 5S, it lacks the battery removal pull tab found on the 5.

Unique camera mount: The 5C's camera is covered with a metal bracket. The 5 has no bracket and the 5S' camera is covered with a rubber flap.

Motherboard similar to iPhone 5S: While the 5C may have the same A6 processor as last year's iPhone 5, the main system board has the same general design and connector placement as the 5S. You can't swap this board out for the one on your old iPhone 5.

Speaker and connector assembly similar to iPhone 5: One bit of 5C hardware that is more like its counterpart on the 5 than the 5S, is the external speaker and lower connector assembly. This isn't surprising given the 5S' new Home button with integrated fingerprint reader.

Bill Detwiler/TechRepublic

Same Retina display and new FaceTime camera: All three phones have the same Retina display, but like the 5S, the 5C has an upgraded FaceTime camera and redesigned screen connectors. The Home button (and its pressure contacts) are more like those on the iPhone 5.

Main board shields soldered in place: Unfortunately like the boards in the iPhone 5 and 5S, the EMI/RFI shields are soldered in place.

Case components are held in place with screws/adhesive: Unfortunately, the external speaker, Lightning connector, and headphone jack, vibration motor, flash, and a bevy of connector wires they are held to the case with a mix of screws and adhesive. If any of these components were damaged, removing and replacing them is possible--just not easy.

Bill Detwiler/TechRepublic

More than an iPhone 5 clone, still a pain to repair

I'm glad Apple took the opportunity to not just give the iPhone 5C a new case, but also upgrade the phone's hardware and tweak the phone's internal design. And while it's still no walk in the park the crack open, the 5C is no more difficult to work on than the iPhone 5 or 5S.
