I saw this sweet cat with Heterochromia iridum.
It was was skinny and underweight, but definitely not a stray. I’d definitely rescue this cat the next time I visit the area again, assuming I could find the owner.

Samsung Halts Galaxy Note7 Sales, Advises Customers to Turn It Off.
From Samsung:
Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available.
One of my associates has an original Samsung Galaxy Note7 and was in the process of getting a replacement. I guess he will have to get a new phone now.

A Swollen iPhone 5 Battery
A colleague of mine asked me if I could “unbend” his iPhone 5. I found out that the battery was swelling and pushed the screen out. I then proceeded toat take the screws out and removed the battery.
As of August 29, 2016, Apple is offering $75 in gift card for iPhone 5 trade-in. Apple charges $79 for out of warranty battery replacement. So, It’s not worth having Apple to replace the battery, unless I can give this iPhone 5 to someone.
iOS 9.3.5 Addresses Critical Security Vulnerabilities
Apple released iOS 9.3.5 on Thrusday, August 25, 2016 to address numbers of Critical Security Vulnerabilities.
Both Citizenlab and Lookout were credited for the security fix.
Persistent, enterprise-class spyware is an underestimated problem on mobile devices. However, targeted attack scenarios against high-value mobile users are a real threat.
Citizen Lab (Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto) and Lookout have uncovered an active threat using three critical iOS zero-day vulnerabilities that, when exploited, form an attack chain that subverts even Apple’s strong security environment. We call these vulnerabilities “Trident.” Our two organizations have worked directly with Apple’s security team, which was very responsive and immediately fixed all three Trident iOS vulnerabilities in its 9.3.5 patch.
It is imperative to update any affected iOS devices to iOS 9.3.5.
