All the members of the U.S. Senate refer to one another as gentlemen. But, what with the industrial revolution, the westering course of empire and the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, the Senate has seen the virtual extinction of gentlemen in the 19th-century sense of the word. Most of the Senate’s gentlemen (and there are some distinguished ones) were made, not born. One of the last Senators to be born an esquire, Burnet Rhett Maybank, 55, died last week of a heart attack.
The Blackberry Classic or Q20 was announced before the Blackberry Passport, possessing similar specs as the latter. However, unlike the Passport, not a lot of details have surfaced about the device other than what BlackBerry has told us—which mostly is the fact that it would be bringing the physical tool-band of hardware keys (call keys, back and a menu key) along with a track pad back.

The new British one pound coin has been designed by a 15-year-old who beat out more than 6,000 entries.
David Pearce’s drawing contains the national emblems of the United Kingdom, with a rose, leek, thistle and shamrock emerging from a Royal Coronet, reports Sky News. The drawing was slightly refined by coin artist David Lawrence and lettering expert Stephen Raw.
The teenager from the West Midlands city of Walsall said, “I spent a lot of time researching what coin designs looked like and what sort of designs would represent all parts of the UK before submitting my idea and I honestly cannot believe I have won.
