Whether or not Apple launches a new phone this spring, we’re almost certainly going to have to wait until September before the true sequel to the iPhone 6s makes it to store shelves. For iPhone users who weren’t able or willing to upgrade to the most recent version of the phone, the wait can be excruciating. But in the meantime, at least we have concept art.

'With the little information we have, it appears there was a 911 phone call at about 2:30. But that's the same time that the EMT called 911. And if that's the case, that means he's the first person to call 911. And if he's the first person to call 911, then the school did not.'
A five-man syndicate that specialize in selling adulterated water to banks and other companies in Lagos have been arrested by men of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad. A statement by the police states that the suspects identified as Chukwuma Uzor, (48) and Ofonime Ikpe (44) and three of their accomplices were arrested at 3, Adesola Street, Ago-Palace Way, Okota in Lagos on Thursday October 22nd following a tip-off.
One of the suspects, Chukwuma Uzor, had worked with a registered water dispensing company but stopped working and decided to connive with some other men to start up a quack water bottling company using his former boss's brand name. His former boss, Sunday Nnaduaga, who gave the police the tip-off said:
"I just noticed that he just stopped coming to office and efforts to reach him via his mobile phones proved abortive as all his lines were switched off. Sometime ago, a friend of mine hinted me that he saw him distributing dispensable water to our customers mostly banks and other big companies in Lagos. Since that day I started to keep tab on him until I caught him red-handed selling produced water with several registered names in an unkempt environment. Afterwards, I hinted RRS team on patrol which led to the arrest of the two suspects".
“I decided to use the brand name because it has a ready-made market. We had many customers particularly new generation banks that patronize us. Before now, I had worked as a marketer for him but he was paying me poorly despite all the huge sales I made for him. And, the only way to make my own sales was to use his brand name which is acceptable to many people". he stated.
"I made a big mistake for allowing him to be producing the water in my factory. I regret aiding and abetting him in committing this heinous crime. He paid me just token from profit he made from the sales".

“We’ve asked a hospice for some charity buckets and we’ll have them outside if people want to make a donation.”Whitney said she and her husband Jonathan Morris were ‘in pieces’ when they found out the devastating news and that Christmas would be ‘bitter sweet’ this year.
She said: “We found out when she was about nine months old. We were in pieces. Amelia suffers from seizures, her eye sight is bad and she isn’t very mobile.
“We’re in and out of hospital with her all of the time. My husband had to quit work so we could be with Amelia.
“We just want to raise awareness about our campaign and also about the disease.”Whitney said Amelia’s little sister Emily, who is only one, can see that her sister is not well.
She said: “Emily can see that her big sister can’t play with other children. She knows something is wrong.“But Amelia doesn’t really know what’s going on, she can’t understand.”
Mr Lewi said:“As a charity we have a family support officer who visits the children, as they’re too sick to travel.
“We’ve had a lot of contact with Amelia and her family, it’s a really great campaign that they’re doing to give her the best Christmas.
“People have been extremely generous.”
"Be careful what you post and especially where you post it. BCSO's Fugitive Apprehension Unit arrested Adrian San Martin last night. He was wanted for an outstanding warrant for evading arrest. We found him after he posted on our Facebook page a threat to shoot someone's house up"
"I know this is going to kill them, but I don't care because I have a business to run," Niedermann said in summing up the doctor's attitude.
"Something is wrong with what you're doing if your patients are dying," he said.Tseng's lawyer said her client naively trusted her patients. Defense lawyer Tracy Green said patients testified they were legitimately in pain and later became dependent on the drugs, hiding their addictions by seeing other doctors and picking up prescriptions from different pharmacies.
"After she deals with punishment on that one count she can go home to her children," Green said.Jurors had the option of convicting Tseng of involuntary manslaughter.
"If you give someone who claims to be a drug abuser the very drug they abuse and they overdose and die, that's a likely foreseeable outcome," Niedermann said. "But for her these people would not have died."
“When I was pregnant, the doctor said she will not survive, that she is going to die,” Dari Borun, the girl’s mother, said.The remarkable girl defied the odds set against her and lives, for the most part, like any other girl.

“I don't have a family here. It's just me and Virsaviya, but now I feel like I have a family because a lot of people just caring about us. They love us. They want to help,” Borun said.Though funds are being raised to help the girl receive treatment, she is currently unable to undergo surgery.
“She can't get it because of her high blood pressure and pulmonary arteries. So if it goes down, if she will feel better, they're going to check her in two years,” Borun explained.At the moment, the mother is concerned with covering basic treatment as well as living expenses for herself and her daughter.
“My mom always told me that she loves my heart and I really like it,” she said.
