In a statement, Apple CEO, Tim Cook defended the takedown by arguing the app was being “used in ways that endanger law enforcement and residents in Hong Kong.” “The app displays police locations and we have verified with the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau that the app has been used to target and ambush police, threaten public safety, and criminals have used it to victimize residents in areas where they know there is no law enforcement,” he added.Is Apple Podcasts the best podcast app for iPhone?Īpple Podcasts is the dominant player in the podcast app market. Both the Quartz app and website to date are still not available in China.Ī month later, Apple also removed HKmap.live, a crowdsourced mapping app that was being employed by Hong Kong protesters to flag the live locations of police and street closures. In October 2019, the company took down the news app Quartz as it was actively covering the Hong Kong protests. ![]() On several occasions in the past, Apple has stepped over the lines of freedom of speech and conformed to China’s censorship requests. “No specifics were requested, we were just linked to, which has no apparent version written in English and told we had illegal content up in China,” said general manager Jesse Herlitz, in a statement emailed to Digital Trends. Pocket Casts confirmed that it’s in touch with Castro but at this stage, they aren’t “working together beyond that.” The team behind Castro Podcasts said it wasn’t offered any specifics by Apple and suspects it was likely because of its “support of the protests in the Discover tab.” In a tweet, Castro Podcasts claimed the Chinese market represented 10% of its total base but a “much smaller percent” of its paid subscriber base. Shortly after Pocket Casts was pulled from the App Store, another podcast app, Castro Podcasts was taken down in China as well. Pocket Casts says it won’t be backtracking on its decision to return to the Chinese App Store since “it’s a necessary step to take for any company that values the open distribution model that makes podcasting special.”Īt the time of writing, Apple hadn’t released a public statement or responded to a request for comment sent by Digital Trends. “We believe podcasting is and should remain an open medium, free of government censorship,” the developers wrote in a tweet. was booted off the Chinese app store earlier this year on these exact grounds too. Incidentally, the pandemic simulator app, Plague Inc. Pocket Casts told Digital Trends that it was “given very little notice of this removal (only 2 days)” and asked by Apple to “contact the CAC for more information.” The only reason offered by Apple was that it includes “content that is illegal in China as determined by the CAC”. In a Twitter reply, Pocket Casts wrote that it wasn’t provided any specifics even after it asked for clarification. Pocket Casts adds that it was “contacted by the CAC through Apple around 2 days before the app was removed from the store” and that it won’t comply with any censorship orders from the Chinese authorities to return to the country’s App Store. Pocket Casts, in a series of tweets, claimed that Apple acted at the behest of a request from the Cyberspace Administration of China, the local regulatory watchdog that oversees the information available on the internet in the country. In its latest censorship move for China, Apple has taken down podcast app Pocket Casts from the Chinese App Store. ![]()

![]() Both styles of helmet feature a deep, rounded bowl, with flattened tops, and steep sides, as well as cheek guards. While the Agen and Port styles are not immediately similar in appearance, they both exhibit features that would become standard with later designs. Today, only a handful of Port style Roman helmets are known to have survived into the modern era. Again, like the Agen helmets, they were made of iron rather than bronze or brass. Their appearance is very similar to the Coolus style of Roman helmet, although the Port style has a far more “Roman” look to it even compared to the Agen style. They also exhibit a noticeable Celtic influence and were in use from roughly 100 BCE- 100 CE, during the Late Republic and Early Imperial periods of Roman History. The Port style is very similar to the Agen style, although they are not immediately similar in appearance. Port: The “Second” Ancestral Roman Helmet Port helmet, Celtic 1st Century BCE, via National Museum of Switzerland The cheek guards are held in place by a pair of rivets on each side of the helmet. Across the front of the bowl, there were a pair of simple, recurved, embossed eyebrows, which would become a standard feature in later helmets. It has been speculated that this rib may have functioned to increase the rigidity of the helmet or perhaps to improve ventilation. They have a narrow brim that flares out in the back to form a neck guard that was embossed with two shallow, semi-circular steps and the helmet had a triangular sectioned horizontal rib all the way around the bowl. The Agen style features a deep, rounded bowl with flattened tops and steep sides, as well as cheek guards. Only a handful of Agen style Roman helmets are known to have survived into the modern era.Īgen (Casque Gaulois) helmet, Celtic, 1st Century BCE, via Wikimedia Commons The Celts were renowned metalworkers in Antiquity and are considered to be pioneers in the development of iron helmets. Otherwise, their appearance is very similar to that of the Coolus style. What sets them apart from other Roman helmets of this period is that they were made of iron rather than brass or bronze. They were in use during the Late Republic and Early Imperial periods of Roman History or roughly 100 BCE- 100 CE. ![]() The Agen style is another example of Celtic influence on Roman armor. It saw its greatest use during the period of Caesar’s Gallic Wars (58-50 BCE), possibly because large numbers of Celtic armorers were employed by the Romans at this time.Īgen: The “First” Ancestral Roman Helmet Agen Helmet, Roman 1st Century BCE, Giubiasco Ticino Switzerland, via Pinterest with Agen Helmet Line Drawing, 1st Century BCE, via Wikimedia Commons ![]() The Coolus style appears to have come into use during the 3rd Century BCE and remained in service until the 1st Century CE. This was critical during this period as many Roman citizens were called upon to serve in the army. Both helmets were likely adopted by the Romans because their simple design meant that they could be mass-produced cheaply. Like the Montefortino helmet, which it resembles, the Coolus Roman helmet was also Celtic in origin. Montefortino style Roman helmets are very similar to the Coolus style of Roman helmets so that they are often grouped together in modern classification systems.Ĭoolus: Caesar’s Helmet Coolus helmet, 1st Century CE, via the British Museum Often the name of the soldier who wore the helmet was inscribed inside of it. Most finds are missing their cheek guards, which has led to speculation that they may have been made of some sort of perishable material. It also featured a protruding neck guard and cheek plates which protected the side of the head. It is characterized by its conical or rounded shape and a raised central knob on top of the helmet. ![]() The Montefortino was made most commonly from bronze, but iron was also occasionally used. This helmet came into use sometime around 300 BCE and saw service into the 1st Century CE. As with many other types of Roman helmet, it originated with the Celts. This means that the earliest type of Roman helmet that can easily be identified as such is the Montefortino type. Though it would be a mistake to assume that Roman soldiers did not wear helmets during those periods. This makes identifying and classifying distinctly Roman helmets of the Roman Kingdom and the Early Republic rather difficult. 3rd Century BCE, via the British MuseumĮarly Roman helmets tended to borrow their designs and styles from the various Italiotes, Etruscans, and other peoples of the Italian Peninsula.

We previously presented a bottom-up method for active site prediction (CLASP) using active site residues. ![]() We selected proteases with known active sites and 3D structures from each family listed in MEROPS and encapsulated their active site motifs into a single protease search module. The abundance of proteolytic enzymes in biological systems results from the varied physiological conditions under which these enzymes have evolved to be effective. The MEROPS database systematically categorizes these protein families and clans to provide an integrated information source. Proteolytic enzymes catalyze the cleavage of peptide bonds in proteins and are divided into several major classes based on their mechanism of catalysis.

Uversky, University of South Florida College of Medicine, United States of America (2013) A Computational Module Assembled from Different Protease Family Motifs Identifies PI PLC from Bacillus cereus as a Putative Prolyl Peptidase with a Serine Protease Scaffold. Thus, we propose a computational method of extending protein families based on the spatial and electrostatic congruence of active site residues.Ĭitation: Rendón-Ramírez A, Shukla M, Oda M, Chakraborty S, Minda R, Dandekar AM, et al. Edman degradation analysis linked the specificity of the protease activity to a proline in the amino terminal, suggesting that the PI-PLC is a prolyl peptidase. This was validated by protease assays, mass spectrometry and by inhibition of the native phospholipase activity of PI-PLC by the well-known serine protease inhibitor AEBSF (IC50 = 0.018 mM). Our analysis indicated that phosphoinositide-specific PLC from Bacillus cereus is a serine protease. ![]() Since APs and proteases are an integral component of outer membrane vesicles (OMV), we sought to query other OMV proteins, like phospholipase C (PLC), using this search module. Here, we assemble a module which encapsulates the multifarious motifs used by protease families listed in the MEROPS database. Subsequently, we defined a methodology to quantify promiscuous activities in a wide range of proteins. CLASP identified a promiscuous serine protease scaffold in alkaline phosphatases (AP) and a scaffold recognizing a β-lactam (imipenem) in a cold-active Vibrio AP. We have previously established a computational method to detect functions in proteins based on the spatial and electrostatic properties of the catalytic residues (CLASP). While a BLAST search on these proteases identifies homologous proteins, sequence alignment methods often fail to identify relationships arising from convergent evolution, exon shuffling, and modular reuse of catalytic units. These distinct types have been systematically categorized in the MEROPS database. Proteolytic enzymes have evolved several mechanisms to cleave peptide bonds. ![]() ![]() ![]() It works on desktop and mobile, gives you password assessment reports, and has offline access, that's a really good feature set for the low low price of nothing! One of the very few free password managers that has a pretty fully-featured product and with no restrictions around the numbers of devices or passwords that it can store. The third is one that surprised me, Zoho Vault. When you want to login to a site on your computer, you just grant access to it via your phone - you can also store credit card information which is a really nice feature not seen on many other free password managers. You just use face id, fingerprint, or a pin code instead of a master password and it can generate 2FA codes. ![]() You simply download the app to your mobile then scan a QR code to allow MYKI to sync with that computer. It's cross-platform, does offline syncing, and does authentication in a very different way to all the other password managers, as there is no master password. The second is a relatively new one to the scene, MKYI. Well, you're missing minor features like file attachments, health reports, better support, and being able to use Bitwarden to generate 2FA codes for other websites - but for a free product, that is Incredible. You might be wondering what you DON'T get with this free product? You can sync across those devices and you also get 2FA. With Bitwardens free tier you can store unlimited passwords, across unlimited devices. Other than the obvious issue of only having access to your passwords in-browser, it's also been proven numerous times that passwords stored in the likes of Google Chrome are not secure, which is why I'm a huge advocate for using a dedicated password manager. Please don't use the password manager built into your browser. In this post I'm going to run through my top 5, to help you decide which is best for you!īefore we get started though, no. Lastpass, yes, but also Bitwarden, Dashlane, KeePass, Myki, Roboform, NordPass and so many more. Now there are tonnes of options when it comes to free password managers!

In addition, trusted contacts can request access to either view or take over your account when necessary.Bitwarden vs LastPass vs Dashlane vs Roboform Similarly, in Bitwarden, you can create organizations for sharing part of your vault.Įmergency Access on both services allows you to access your vault in case of an emergency. Users with full rights will jointly own the shared item. Sharing Center for LastPass allows you to share your vault partly or entirely with your family or friends. Emergency Access and Sharing Center (Premium Users Only) LastPass states that it supports 100-character passwords (however, the generator seemed to only support 99), whereas Bitwarden supports up to 128 characters. You can specify a length, letter case, special characters, and more to create a unique password. ![]() These tools can help you create a unique password for each account.

With previous versions of iOS, if you left an App Store app it would shut down completely. That means the entire app doesn't have to keep running, freeing up memory and lightening battery load, and even the thread will terminate when the upload is done.įast task switching deals with the perceptive speed that multitasking offers. There's another API for task completion so that, for example, if you're uploading a picture to Twitter and leave the app, it can register a thread to keep uploading the picture in the background while you do something else. That takes the online server out of the equation which is good for tasks that don't need additional information from the cloud, and so don't have to activate the radios. In addition to the existing push notification service from Apple's servers, which provide sound, badges, and alert popups for everything from IM to game challenges, iOS 4 adds local notifications so something like an alarm-clock app could register an alert that would sit in the iPhone in the background until the proper time, then activate. Why no iPhone 3G? Apple abjectly refuses to put their name on an implementation where hardware constrains software - see video recording last year - and that means iPhone 3G isn't up to their multitasking standards.Īs to how it works, instead of a traditional "leave full apps running in the background" approach, Apple instead chose to implement a more restricted but, they felt, better performing and power friendly solution involving 7 specific background API (application programming interfaces.)

Keep in mind that a professor in a given course may not allow graphing calculators, so be sure to ask about that if it isn't mentioned in the course syllabus. The TI 83, TI 83 Plus, or TI 84 Plus are the calculators of choice for you. Since you will likely need one for math classes, you should get one that will also work well in your finance/accounting classes. One thing that business students should keep in mind: Many math departments require graphing calculators. If you don't need lots of memory, a few extra financial functions, graphing, and scientific/math functions then you should probably stick to the lower cost models. How much do I want to spend?įinancial calculators tend to fall into two categories: $30-$40 ( HP 10BII, TI BAII Plus, Sharp EL-733A), $60-$100 ( HP 12C, HP 17BII, TI BAII Plus Professional, TI 83 Plus, and TI 84 Plus). Still, keep in mind that you are probably more likely to use a spreadsheet for most problems, so a fancy calculator may be more than you need. If you are an undergraduate finance major, an MBA student, or a finance professional, then it may very well be a good decision to go for a higher-end model. ![]() Most people will probably never notice them missing. However, they are missing a few of the more advanced financial functions that can be nice to have. These are great financial calculators that will handle everything that you will probably need. These usually cost about $30 to $35, though you may occasionally find them on sale for less. Generally, this will mean the Hewlett Packard 10BII or the Texas Instruments BAII Plus. If getting through this course is your only consideration, then I recommend that you purchase the least expensive model that you can easily find. Most people first need to acquire a financial calculator because they are taking an introductory financial management course. Let's take these one at a time, and I'll provide some recommendations.
