As the summer holiday continues with opportunities for children to do something different from the usual class activities, most parents are seeking ways to make it the best time of the year for their wards, Maduabuchi Ubani writes
School is out and this period, more than any other season, has the potential to give experiences that could become life-changing moments and long-lasting memories for children. Expectedly, most parents are cashing in.
Joyfully helping her mum to arrange her lunch box, she had a perfect mood for the occasion. 12-year-old Morayo Omogbenigun was excited about her enrollment at a summer camp somewhere in Victoria Island where she would gain skills in arts, music and drama.
In the past, she has heard endless tales from her classmates on what they did during summer breaks and that has made her grin with envy.
"Now I know I can also join in the conversations of happenings during the holiday. I have always loved to sing and act in a drama but I have never had the opportunity. During the past years my mum had enrolled me in cooking classes but this year her friend advised her to bring me here and am happy she accepted because the whole experience will change everything about me, especially as I become bold to take on any activity," She explained with a beam.
Though the culture of summer camp that offers rich experience outside the four wall of a classroom may still be low in Nigeria, interestingly parents are taking the advantage of the available few to engage their children. For the two long months until school begins again summer break offers a period where children are relieved of their educational and routine school curriculum activities. Clearly, summer holiday allows the kids to engage in activities that can broaden and illuminate their mental, emotional and physical well-being for them to start up a new class.
In some cases, summer break provide that opportunity for the children to travel to see countryside or outside the country in order to either meet with friends and family members or to relax and explore.
"We don't live in Nigeria, but we often come around because our dad lives here," said Sade Shonibare, who arrived in Nigeria recently from Dublin with her younger sister.
Summer holidays for Sade have always been a part of her growing up years. She had visited Nigeria many times in the past with memorable tales of her visit.
She said: "Last year, we went to Terra culture in Victoria Island and it was just the normal activities we do every time but this year proved to be a bit different because our dad enquired from a friend who directed him to enroll us in a music, drama and dance school called Society for the Performing Arts in Nigeria (SPAN) and I must confess to you that pray for that friend of his every morning because the whole experience has ignited a positive spark in me."
Like most organizations and societies that organise summer lessons for kids in Lagos, SPAN has nevertheless maintained its tradition of engaging the audience whether children, youth, families or the elderly to inspire them to grow in their artistic experience with a heightened sense of humanity and social responsibility.
So summer lessons for SPAN are like extending its hands of acceptance to kids in area they show genuine and effortless interest.
"The whole idea is to bring back the African culture, and one way that we can achieve that is by imbibing the cultural values in the children," explained Benedicta Etieene who is the head of drama department at the society's office.
According to Etieene, "the whole experience is to build capacity, achieve more and open the minds of participants to something different from what they are used to in every day school life; something apart from the usual school home works and assignments."
She further enthused that apart from teaching and interacting with them, the summer camp which lasts for four weeks also gives them the platform to express themselves.
"I guess maybe that's why the issue of summer camp and holidays were even instituted anyway because it gives an avenue for them to see new people and see things differently which is a different ball game from what they do in school which is why I often advice parents to occupy their wards with something worthwhile," she noted.
Yes, parents are still divided on the role of summer camps and how children should spend the holiday.
"My daughter has learnt and changed so much in this past few weeks that it just leaves me in great awe," enthused Mrs. Lovina Unegbu, a writer and cousellor who sent her daughter to a summer camp class at Ikeja on a friend's recommendation.
"Now she is so bold and quite creative. The summer class has stirred up her creative gifts such as drawing, which we never even noticed in her before now. So the idea of moving beyond sending her to just a swimming class has paid off. "Parents should learn to give their children the best things of life that they did not enjoy no matter how little it is because it's just every parent's dream for their children to be better than them and It's just adorable how the smallest moment can have the biggest impacts in a child's life and help them to be the most creative person in all ramifications." Unegbu said
For Ms. Anita Sizzlers, an elementary school teacher in Port Harcourt, the idea of getting children completely off school work during summer should be avoided. She said: "I don't really buy the idea of exclusively leaving my kids to learning skills and leave out their core educational requirements. It is paramount to let the children be actively prepared for their new classes and not be overwhelmed with life skills activities at summer camps."
She continued: "For my children, I do take them to where they would learn musical instruments, meet new kids and indulge in child-friendly games but that takes place in the afternoon because in the morning, their private teacher comes over to show them things they are expected to see in their new class and that for me is striking a good balance between life skills and their education which is even more important to me."
According to experts, one of the challenges facing kids in Nigeria is that just a few of them are confident and courageous enough to express their feelings during their early stage and summer camps could help to reverse the trend.
A Creative Director in a summer school, Joshua Oluchukwu, emphasized that children learn more with their five senses and concurred on the fact that it is what they get acquainted to early in life that helps shapes their future.
"This is the more reason why we are soliciting for these whole activities to be actively brought back to our educational system and academic curriculum, not just for them to exist in highbrow schools but also in average school for average income earners. Because for us, we go round schools to teach them all these things but it's just not enough for them because it needs to be part of their daily school or weekly activity.
"In the academy I work for, We try to do exercise that will help their memory, timing, consciousness and concentration and I must confess that Its been wonderful to truly transform kids and watch them go home positively transformed because the joy that this whole activity gives to kids is not something that melts away overtime, it stays there and continually helps their self esteem and communication," he observed.
But unfortunately, most children whose family income can barely send them to school never attend summer classes, they either spend the whole break helping out with house chores, going to the market with their parents or even hawking on the streets and highways to raise fund for the next school year.

The Nationals' past week, at a glance:
Record: 5-1
Team slash: .264/.335/.529
Team ERA: 3.06
Runs per game: 5.5
Opponent runs per game: 3.0
Opponent slash: .235/.281/.286
Ryan Zimmerman, 3B: 5-25/5 HR/6 RBI/.286 OBP/1.086 OPS
What an odd line -- just five hits and three walks, but all three hits left the park, giving Zimmerman an eye-popping .800 slugging percentage. It has been a trying season for the $100 million man, but his recent burst has brought his home run total to within four of last season's mark, and his batting average is just eight points behind what he put up last year. The big difference is in RBI -- he currently has 69, and there's no way for him to approximate the 95 from a year ago. If he keeps mashing like this, though, he could do a lot to make things interesting for the Nats over the next couple weeks.
Jayson Werth, OF: 11-25/2 HR/5 RBI/.481 OBP/1.361 OPS/1 SB
Maybe Werth isn't even really hot anymore -- maybe this is just what we get from him now. Nats fans rejoice at the thought of Werth paying the team back for their overpayment of the past two seasons, but given his advancing age and injury history, it's more likely that this is a tantalizing glimpse into what the outfielder can do when conditions are perfect. Like Zimmerman, the veritable tree trunk that Werth is swinging is adding some drama to the wild card chase, and with six games to make up in an 18-game span, the Nats are still alive. Crazier things have indeed happened.
Gio Gonzalez, SP: 1-0/0.00 ERA/0.33 WHIP/9 IP/8 K
Gio came within a seventh-inning Zach Lutz pinch-hit single of recording the majors' third no-hitter of the 2013 season. Instead, he had to settle for the big leagues' fourth one-hitter, and the satisfaction that when he's on his game, he's one of the most unhittable pitchers in baseball. Though his season totals are nowhere near those of his 2012 career season, a strong finish can set the tone for a return to dominance in 2014.
**Hat tip to Denard Span, who last night ran his career-best hitting streak to 21 games, and to Tanner Roark, who won his first major league start, has done absolutely everything asked of him, and who now sports a 5-0 record and an 'is-this-thing-broken?' 405 ERA+.
Anthony Rendon, 2B: 4-12/2 XBH/1 RBI/.385 OBP/.968 OPS
Rendon, who ceded some playing time to Steve Lombardozzi this past week, may be wearing down at the end of his first full professional season. The heralded prospect played in just 43 games across four minor league levels in 2012, and has blown way past that this season by appearing in 121 total contests (36 in the minors, 85 with the big club). Though he was a shot in the arm during the time of his call-up, Rendon has been one of the least productive regulars in the Nats lineup for some time now.
Dan Haren, SP: 0-1/15.00 ERA/2.67 WHIP/3 IP/5 K
The Nats have now dropped Haren's last three starts, with the starter taking the loss in the most recent two -- each time failing to progress past the third inning. Though it feels as though he's been around forever, Haren is just 32; the sad reality of the (so-called, at least) post-steroid era, though, is that pitchers are aging extremely fast. Though not as bad as NFL running backs just yet, many major league starters are often struggling to maintain even a modicum of consistency much past their 30th birthday. If Haren continues pitching as he currently is, he no longer belongs in a first-division rotation.
Bryce Harper, OF: 0-3/0 XBH/0 RBI/.333 OBP/.333 OPS
This isn't just about Harper's lack of production over the past week -- he mustered a walk in three plate appearances in his only game -- nor should he be blamed for sitting out with injury. In fact, sitting out is what he should be doing. Harper recently admitted that his hip is bothering him, despite him playing through it for weeks. This season could serve as an important lesson in self-maintenance as his health is too important for the Nationals.

Francona urges patience with Ortiz situation
Red Sox manager Terry Francona, speaking with Michael Holley and guest co-host Tom Caron on this afternoon's "Dale and Holley Show" on WEEI, expressed frustration regarding the demand for information about the circumstances surrounding David Ortiz's failed test for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.
Ortiz has said he is waiting for further information about what caused him to test positive, and he has not spoken publicly about the subject since the story broke last Thursday. Francona urged patience and said he has a hard time dealing with those who have rushed to judgment.
"Theres a lot of things out there that nobody knows," Francona said. "Theres not a lack of opinions, but theres a lack of informative opinions. What we need to do is to be patient and let the process . . . [we need to] go about it properly. Its not easy to do, but its the only way to do it.
"Its tough . . . Nobody knows [why Ortiz failed the test]. I dont know. But Im certainly not going to go out there and say something that I dont know. There certainly need to be answers. I think David is very adamant that he wants answers. And when we get those answers, well deal with them."
When asked if he was surprised that Ortiz still hasn't spoken or received the information he says he needs, Francona bristled:
"What do you want him to say?" Francona replied. "We were very honest. We need to let this process play out. There are things that Im sure are happening that are way over my head, that Major League Baseball, the union, lawyers are taking care of. David said when he has answers, hell address it. We dont have answers. I dont know how much more explicit I can be. Thats where were at."
Francona said he feels it is "reprehensible" that names of the 104 players who tested positive in 2003 are being leaked, noting that the leaks are illegal. He didn't respond directly to question about whether all 104 names should be disclosed, but he did indicate he feels like the MLB is headed in the right direction with its testing program
"However many people tested positive, Im not coming to their defense," he said. "But it was done for a reason. It was probably done too late. But it did get done, and whats in place now is good . . . maybe not perfect, but good. If were guilty of anything, its probably acting a little bit late as an industry, which were all responsible for.
"But for whats happening now with these leaks, youre talking about lawyers that are knowingly betraying an oath and a trust. I think thats reprehensible. Im not coming to the defense of someone who has done performance-enhancing drugs, but what theyre doing is reprehensible.
Francona added that Ortiz has been his usual outgoing self during the ordeal.
I think hes okay. That makes me feel better. He seems okay," Francona said. "Were in a business thats emotional anyway. You lose the game last night, its a tough loss, you feel like you lost a fight with your pillow. Its part of what makes our game special.
"I think hes okay. He knows he has a lot of people who care about him.
During the interview, Francona also explained in detail his thought-process in pitching to Rays star Evan Longoria in the 13th inning last night. Longoria hit a two-run homer off Takashi Saito to give Tampa Bay a 4-2 win.
"In my opinion, we were running on fumes," Francona said. "To ask a guy like Saito, who was going to be up north of 40 pitches, to walk the bases loaded, theres absolutely no wiggle room to make a pitch. I understand Joe Dillon [who would have been the batter had Francona chosen to walk Longoria and Ben Zobrist with two outs] didnt have a lot of at-bats. He was 5 for 10 off of righthanders coming into the game, in very limited at-bats. I think youre putting somebody in an unfair position. I respect how good Longoria is. I respect how good the guy behind him is, too -- Zobrist, the way hes swinging the bat. I thought our best opportunity was to allow Saito, with Tek back there, to act almost like its an 0-2 count. Because we have the open bases, we have the ability to expand the strike zone. We didnt do that. Thats part of the game. Thats why they won."
Francona said there was some concern as to how many pitches Saito had left.
"He is a guy weve tried to protect more than anyone on this staff," Francona said of the 39-year-old righthander. "He pitched two innings on Sunday. So youre asking a guy to come in and execute pitches when weve pushed him harder over the last three days than at any point in the year. My opinion is, lets give him a chance to expand the zone. If you fall behind, you can always walk him.
"But lets give Longoria a chance to get himself out. He had done that a couple of times earlier in the game. He also hit another home run. The safe thing is for a manager to walk people and go to Joe Dillon. I didnt think that put the team in the best position to win. It didnt work.
One thing that Francona believes will work is the split in playing time behind the plate with Jason Varitek and newcomer Victor Martinez. Francona explained some of the factors that will be considered when he decides who will catch on a particular night.
Whos pitching for us, whos pitching for them, rest, production, health. Theres a number of things taken into consideration," Francona said. ". . .Well catch Victor tomorrow [because Varitek is catching tonight and the Sox will have an early-morning arrival in New York]. Its [John] Smoltz, who hasnt been here for years and has that relationship with Tek etched in stone. Even though Victors new, Smoltzy is relatively new too. Theres a level of cooperation that needs to go on here right now, which I think our guys are doing a great job of. Ultimately what were tying to do is win, and guys are sacrificing a little bit of their personal stuff for the good of the team. I think its working out really well.
Theres probably some comfort level with guys who Tek has caught here, and caught very well with success," he added. "Theres a lot of things that go into it. We try to use good judgment. We try to look ahead and have somewhat of an idea, and when things crop up, youre prepared to make a change and have some balance in your lineup.
Francona also noted that Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is working on conditioning and strengthening his shoulder in Ft. Myers, is progressing steadily. More important, he seems to be on the same page with Francona and the Sox staff.
We had a pretty good conversation on the phone the other day, but like he said, we need to have a face-to-face," Francona said. "We had a tough week. It was a good meeting, a real productive meeting. I stressed that we all make mistakes. Its how you go from there thats important. He understands that and wants to, and I think hes actually in a good place.
"He looks terrific . . . Hes off the mound again in about a week. I know thats a little bit of a slow progression, but I think we made some huge strides. The one thing weve done is we communicated, and we forced ourselves to communicate. It doesnt mean its always going to be all fuzzy and hugs and stuff like that, but weve had some good honest communication, and thats important. I think this will be better going forward.

The restaurant was very nice and food was good. Staff was very helpful. It was such a peaceful place. Our room had a view of the glacier-Beautiful.

Cleans Well
Posted by Reviewer1206139 on Sep 09, 2011
I found that this counter spray cleaned very well, but personally, the smell was too strong/sweet for me. It is very fresh and nice, but just not for me. I gave the bottle to my mom and she loves it. Next time I'll try the basil spray.
Not vegan product
Posted by Greenteafan on Oct 25, 2011
It cleans well and on almost all surfaces. However, this product contains surfactant that it harsh to the skin. Also, the scent is also over-empowering. Fragrace contained in the product that forces us to inhale might have hundreds of harmful chemicals.

"300" is not a particularly good movie. The comic-book tale of the battle of Thermopylae (480 B.C.) brims over with excessive nudity and violence. The dialogue is often laughable -- lines like "This is madness! This is Sparta!" leap to mind.
David Wenham, who plays a Spartan soldier, narrates throughout the movie; his narration is guffaw-inducing. "Only the hard and strong may call themselves Spartans. Only the hard . Only the strong ," Wenham gravely intones. At another point, over footage of Spartans graphically slaughtering the oncoming hordes of Persian dictator Xerxes, Wenham intensely growls, "We do what we've been trained to do. We do what we've been bred to do. We do what we were born to do." There are no descriptors for this kind of purposeful anti-subtlety.
Nonetheless, "300" is drawing a crowd. It is drawing a crowd for two reasons: First, the movie is visually interesting, combining over-the-top comic-book imagery with live-action realism in the same way "Sin City" did. Second, Americans are interested in watching movies that pit good against evil.
The Spartans of "300" are brutal. The opening scene of the movie depicts a Spartan soldier, standing on a cliff overlooking a valley of skulls, inspecting a baby to make sure it is hardy enough. If the baby is too weak, we are told, it will be left for dead. This isn't exactly civilized conduct.
But the Persian hordes make the Spartans look like members of a British tea club. Xerxes is an androgynous giant of a man with more body piercings than Christina Aguilera. His camp is full of decadent bisexual promiscuity. He seeks worldwide dictatorship and threatens Sparta with mass murder of its male citizens, rape of its female citizens, and use of women and children as slaves if Sparta fails to submit to his rule.
The Spartans, by contrast, say they are fighting for "freedom." In which case, "300" is an old-fashioned battle between the forces of freedom and the forces of oppression.

Church Along the Shore by FicktionPhotographyWatch
©2014-2016 FicktionPhotography
Notre Dame Cathedral is a church that serves as the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Papeete in the French Polynesian island chain. It is located close to the waterfront esplanade of the city on the rue du Général de Gaulle. It opened in 1875 and has stood as one of the last remaining examples of early colonial architecture and the island's past. Wandering around the island before I scuba dove off of it, I nearly got lost. Many of the buildings look similar and most pedestrians were either of no help or didn't speak English. Thankfully, most of the shop owners did and were more than helpful getting me back to the docks. © 2012-2014.

Today is Mike's last day before he starts work. We marked the occasion with some serious lounging, punctuated by novel-reading, a trip to our first regatta, and multiple picnics.
Picnic One was served at our kitchen table, so I suppose you could say that this was technically not a picnic. It was all fresh from yesterday's trip to the market, though, so I say it counts.
At Mike's suggestion (picked up from The Londonist's invaluable "Cheap London"), we took the tube to Waterloo station, where we hopped on the National Rail to get to Kingston-Upon-Thames for the Kingston Amateur Regatta.
Kingston is a southwestern suburb (officially a Royal Borough) of London. Though well outside of the bustle of the city, I noticed it was still very densely built-up, at least around the rail station and the lovely Thames waterfront park. With the quick and simple rail commute to central London (maybe 30 minutes to Waterloo), I would guess it's very easy to live in Kingston and work in London, even without a car.
(To get a sense of the National Rail network connectivity, check out this great map that Mike found, which overlays the National Rail with the tube.)
Just before we left home, we discovered Food Hall, a real gem of a gourmet food shop, just steps from our apartment. We combined a few our Borough Market spoils (cheese and Turkish olives) with some new produce, fresh-baked bread and beer for a truly indulgent picnic spread:
The amateur regatta, it turns out, was a very professionally executed middle-school sporting event, featuring mainly first-time rowers. Still, the races were generally close, and very exciting. It crossed my mind that my mom might have enjoyed certain rites of parental passage (ie, 4-hour dance recitals) if open container laws in the US were more like what they are in the UK.
We loafed around a little more, read and sipped some coffee, and then hopped the train back home. I shook off the day's laziness with some yoga in our apartment, and then we headed out in search of dinner.
We settled on Thai carryout, spread out picnic-style in Hoxton Square at dusk and washed down with a few sips of wine from our Borough Wines refillable bottle.
Tomorrow, Mike will get up for work at 6 and I'm going to start putting myself back on a (somewhat) more disciplined schedule. We're also looking forward to visits this week with three dear friends who happen to be passing through town … Nathan and Talia from Seattle, and Allison from San Francisco. We can't wait to see you guys!

NEW YORK, N.Y. - From Hollywood studios to Japanese TV makers, powerful business interests are betting 3-D will be the future of entertainment, despite a major drawback: It makes millions of people uncomfortable or sick.
Optometrists say as many as one in four viewers have problems watching 3-D movies and TV, either because 3-D causes tiresome eyestrain or because the viewer has problems perceiving depth in real life. In the worst cases, 3-D makes people queasy, leaves them dizzy or gives them headaches.
Researchers have begun developing more lifelike 3-D displays that might address the problems, but they're years or even decades from being available to the masses.

Philliebuster wrote:I've read they are looking into whether he may have a sports hernia ala Magglio Ordonez early last season that shelved him for a couple months. Also, the same type of hernia that Donovan Mcnabb was able to quarterback through. I don't like the sound of it, Edmonds has shown to be fragile over the recent years, and normally gets the occasional day off, not sure he could play through a hernia if he has one.

A condo owner at 163-165 Prospect Park West in Park Slope says someone at the building's management company allegedly embezzled the building's reserve fund. Our tipster sent along this letter from the company, Guardian Property Management of Brooklyn. It reveals that "money may have been misappropriated from certain accounts which it [Guardian] maintains on behalf of its clients."
Apparently Guardian is looking into the theft, and so is the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, according to our tipster. When we contacted the D.A.'s office, a spokeswoman said she could neither confirm nor deny Guardian was under investigation.
"There are at least eight other buildings under Guardian management in Brooklyn that also had their funds wiped out, I am told — perhaps even more," the tipster added. He said that roughly $100,000 had been stolen from his building alone.
The building has 25 apartments. Guardian's attorney did not return our calls for comment. Click through to see the letter from the management company.

If you still play W@W every now and then, and if you live in the USA (preferably east coast) and if you have good internet...
I'll check this thread every now and then, if we can get a solid number I'll add everyone on my friends list. We can play in World at War's "Veteran" gametype, 0 people play in it.
Veteran is a relic of times when W@W had 100k + players online at a time. It was for high level players, like the anti-bootcamp. None of the modders/noobs would even know to scroll down and select it. We can use it to play Team Deathmatch hacker free as long as we coordinate 8+ people searching for a game at a time.
This is similar to players creating private matches but it keeps the stat tracking (albeit limited nowadays), ranking up, and keeps standard settings, standard host selection, team balancing, ect.
I know these forums don't get much traffic but we just need a couple players I have a group of W@W vets on standbye at all times...
Again I emphasize if you are not USA and have a less than reliable ISP... I would rather not play than play with laggers. Just want a fair game of W@W.
Well it was worth a shot.

"Small card with soft colors—perfect. Text easy to customize and to place. Wanted an 'I Wish for You...' Card for baby shower, and this fit the bill perfectly."
"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"This is such a pretty little card. I love the quality of the paper and printing. Impeccable service and products every time I have used Tiny prints. The only thing I don't like is the logo on the back..."
"These cards have a nice weight to them. The design is adorable without being too cutesy. My nine year old was thrilled with her new stationery."
"This note card is super cute with the right amount of outdoor fun and girly flair. I have received numerous compliments on the style of this personalized card. The paper is nice and thick and the speedy delivery from tiny prints is always appreciated!"

Nokia announces Lumia 620 WP8 smartphone
Nokia has just announced its newest member of the Windows Phone 8 family, the Lumia 620.
If the Nokia Lumia 920 leads the pack as the flagship and the Lumia 820 as the midrange, the Lumia 620 completes the line up of WP8 smartphone as its entry level device. For starters, the Lumia 620 is a 3G smartphone that sports a 3.8-inch ClearBlack display, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, a VGA front-facing, 8GB of internal storage with microSD support up to 64GB, and NFC connectivity. It is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1GHz, 512MB of RAM, and a 1,300mAh battery.
The best part about this phone is that it only costs $249 or approximately Php10,200 – Nokia's most affordable WP8 smartphone to date. It will be available in different colors and will ship first in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in Q1 of 2013.
Nokia Lumia 620 specs:
3.8″ TFT WVGA (800×480), ClearBlack
1 GHz Dual Core Snapdragon (TM) S4
8GB internal memory, up to 64GB via microSD
5MP autofocus w/ LED flash; Video capture: HD 720p@30fps
VGA front camera
WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0
GPS/A-GPS, Glonass
1,300mAh battery
115.4 x 61.1 x 11.02 mm
Windows Phone 8
23 Comments on this Post
Masubukan nga ulit ang Nokia (after 4 yrs).. parang promising ang Nokia 620 at that price point.
although people were saying that could it pull-off wp8 at only 512MB of ram…
Hula ko magkakaroon ng nokia lumia 720. Mas mataas lng ng konti yung specs.. haha
Pwede na siyang pamalit sa Mozart ko.
so basically its like an iPhone 3GS powered by windows. affordable pa at bago. :D
I do hope they make a Nokia Android smartphone though
yung processor ba neto ay krait?
Parfaits, ice cream, smores and unli Fries? Time to get your comfort food from #PicketFence
pag nokia naglabas wagas. sunod sunod men. masilo nlng ang masisilo
my next nokia phone hehe! pamalit sa C7 ko. sa durability, nokia pa rin. WP8 pa yan kaya ok na yan para sa akin. =)
Nokia'd most probably price this around 13-15K PHP.
If so, I'd like this as my other phone (with my Samsung Galaxy S2. :D)
When I visited the global site of Nokia for the Lumia 920: http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/lumia620/ I clicked the 'availability tab' and in the Asia Pacific tab, only India, Singapore and Vietnam is listed..and if you clicked on one of these countries, they already have the lumia 620 in their homepage…Does that mean it will not be available here????!!!
That's probably the case here, they usually post it on their local site with the "coming soon" words if there's a new phone coming to that country. But I do hope the Philippines is also included. Lumia 620 has the same price as the 610 when it first came out.
a great buy kung 10k something lang talaga sya. :)
A phone with specs comparable with mid-range androids, na may price of an entry-level phone. Great! Next Phone ko 'to….
Sana lang may FM Transmitter/Play via Radio feature to, bibili talaga ako para pang show off ko sa mga friends ko.
Finally, something cheap with expandable slot.!
Lumia 920.. waiting patiently…
all that wonderful specs for that price
thank god nokia!!!! :D
nokia!!!!ikaw na!!!..:)
type ko rin to, pero sana may mahanap ako dito sa pinas na NOKIA LUMIA 822, pls. reply man kung san meron
pagdating sa durability at simplicity..Nokia phones talaga mangunguna dyan…I hope to get this unit soon.:)
I'm a galaxy note 2 and lumia 620 user. Been with samsung's galaxy S series since the first one and upgraded to note late last year. I'm a die hard android user BUT there is just something about windows phone 8 that makes it look and feel more polished than android/touchwiz. It just feels more.. "elegant" than the multi-layered apps/icons of android (yes, and widgets). I don't know but I'm starting to like my 620 more than my note 2.. i just need more apps.. hmm but I need my stylus, too.. hmm..

Most of our financial-services focus is concentrated in three major areas: asset management and personal finance; trading technology; and research and information services. All three industries are in the midst of fundamental change driven by technology.
In the asset-management and personal-finance sector, we have watched a generation of investors lose their confidence in a financial system marked by volatile markets and, often, imprudent advice from so-called "experts". We believe small investors have been poorly served by the existing wealth-management industry and that a new generation of businesses, leveraging technology and transparency, will be built to provide best-in-class service to clients regardless of their level of wealth.
The trading technology space has evolved dramatically over the last decade. Spreads and commissions have narrowed, brining trading costs down. At the same time, market volume has increased, driven in part by the introduction of high-frequency trading. New securities of increasing complexity have entered the market. We believe there is an opportunity for new companies to provide a new class of infrastructure to address the rapidly evolving capital markets.
Research and information services have grown in importance as more information has become available to market participants. We believe investment returns increasingly depend on access to proprietary information and an investor's ability to parse that information quickly. Investors have begun to demand greater accountability from their information providers and more transparency to ensure freedom from conflicts. So we believe there are opportunities for innovative companies to enter the market by providing new types of information to investors or by providing research or information that is more accurate, transparent and reliable than existing products in the market.

From the house it is only a 25 minute stroll down a bush path to Halls Gap.

Halls Gap videos

Very clean great apartment 2kms from the centre of town. We will definitely recommend and hopefully revisit!! Thanks for a great weekend.
Welcome, friendly space with all amenities.
A great location, close to town (just a nice walk), very roomy with everything I needed. Would stay again next time. Thanks!
Great location to base a visit, has everything you need , great views, lots of wildlife.
Booking was so easy and everything was just what we had hoped for! Lovely accommodation, extremely comfortable beds and great location looking out onto the mountains. Thank you.
The perfect place to stay for a weekend to the Grampians with friends. Great location, place is exactly as the pictures depict and we all had a great stay.
Fantastic base for a weekend exploring Halls Gap and the Grampians. The accommodation is very spacious and well equipped, with two bathrooms and separate living areas it's well suited to couples travelling together. The yard out back is a real afternoon sun trap, great when just in from a walk. The views of the Grampians across an open field which at dusk is alive with kangaroos which is pretty special. Highly recommend.
We love this house just outside Halls Gap. It's a tidy and well laid out space over two floors. The view from the rear across fields is beautiful with many Kangaroos and other wildlife. It's a pleasant and short walk into the centre of town.
House very clean and comfortable, beautiful area with wildlife all around and under our window. Perfect communication. Very nice stay.
Great townhouse. Very spacious and comfortable. Great location.
Just wanted to say thank you for the use of your beautiful house this weekend. It was so perfect for the hikes we wanted to do and the games in the evening were great entertainment.
We will recommend you to everyone we know and there will be a very positive review on trip advisor soon.

If you are using DbgPrint for your debug output in Vista you may have noticed that you cannot see anything in the debugger. That is because DbgPrint now defaults to the DEFAULT debug component (you can read about the change here) and the default settings for this component is to hide all output. To remedy this you can do either of the following
This will allow you to see your debug output, but you might see a lot of other components' output as well. One way to mitigate this is to use DbgPrintEx instead and pick the component ID which most closely matches your driver's functionality. Note that DbgPrintEx is only available on Windows XP and later so if you need to support Windows 2000 you might want want to stick with DbgPrint since choosing which function to use at runtime can be difficult (since passing var args can be difficult unless you have variadic parameter support for macros (which the latest WDK has)).

#7 and #9 are my favorites! Thanks for sharing you provided some new social media quotes that I haven't read before!
12 Most Favorite Social Media Quotes
Quotes. How many times have you said "Wow! I wished I said that?"
Most all of us appreciate and collect quotes to varying extents. You just never know when a particular quote may come in handy for a speech, post or tweet.
Recently on my blog I posted "13 Great Social Media Quotes."
Great though the quotes were, after I posted it I thought "OMG, I should have asked some of the other 12Most contributors for a quote because they do social media right." So I did.
This collection is the result. While most of them are from 12Mosters, a few I brought over from my original post to share with you.
1. "How can you squander even one more day not taking advantage of the greatest shifts of our generation? How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?"
~ Seth Godin, Seth's Blog
2. "Social Media is about being open, being a connector, being supportive and being yourself."
~ Michael Q. Todd, @mqtodd, 12Most
3. "Social media provides us the opportunity to think before we 'speak', giving us a better shot at reasoned dialog. So it's not a huge surprise to me that not only can real communication happen, but real relationships can blossom."
~ Paul Biedermann, @PaulBiedermann, 12Most
4. "Buoy relationships developed through social media by mixing up the medium once in a while. Phone conversations, and in-person meetups — even longer exchanges via e-mail — create a richer communication experience… and deeper connections."
~ Ellen Bremen, @chattyprof, 12Most
5. "When sexting replaces actual sex, then I will believe that social media relationships have replaced real, face-to-face relationships. Get out from behind the screen and make your social media relationships something more."
~ S. Anthony Innarino, @iannarino, 12Most
6. "The value of being connected and transparent is so high that the roadbumps of privacy issues are much lower in actual experience than people's fears."
~ Reid Hoffman, founder and executive chairman of LinkedIn
7. "Anonymity is the fame of the future."
~ John Boyle, @BrandFlair, 12Most
8. "If, at the end of my days, the sum of what I've taken exceeds the sum of what I've given, then I have lived in vain."
~ Doug Rice, @dougrice, 12Most

Hi Janet,
Great idea for a post!
I must say that while Gary's "what's the ROI of your mom?" quote got and still gets a lot of play, it still kind of rubs me the wrong way. Truthfully, ROI is something in the online world that businesses do need to understand if they want to remain in, well, business. Yes, relationships are important, but that's not the financial return on investment, that's just nice squishy stuff. Relationships lead to what the ROI is - so, just wanted to get that out there :)
And who knew Charlie Darwin knew about social media? :)
Favorite quote: #12 "What the ROI of your mom?" So many just don't get that business and life is about relationships—quality relationships. Things aren't always about money.
What a great list! I love @BrandFlair 's take on the new 15 minutes of fame, and @chattyprof has always been a great resource to the online community - she really helped me to communicate a key concept in my new book (namely, owning your expertise when it comes to personal communication). What a great list, @janetcallaway Thanks for a really fun post
Latest blog post: The Artist... and the Elevator Pitch
This is a fun, interesting look at what people are thinking about social media — thanks so much for including me, Janet! All in all though, I'd have to say that Chuck Darwin's #13 rules!
Love 'em. Missed my quote though, Janet: "The ONLY thing I control is what I eat for breakfast!" Lol...
#9 and on LinkedIn Q&A, your questions and answers are public and stay public. But I did discover the "hide" question. Sometimes I ask questions I didn't think through before posting.
Good stuff here! This one's adapted from my Biblical studies: "Treat others on social media the way you would like to be treated!"
Great post Janet although I have no idea what the guy in #7 is talking about. :-)
@margieclayman Margie, aloha. You must feel so much better since you got that off your chest. Gary's comment is one that is frequently quoted because it does resonate because its pithy. No matter what measurements are used, ultimately it is the relationships that lead to financial return.
Yep, Charlie was way a head of his time. Quite honestly, Margie, I think he was talking about 12Most. What do you think?
Best wishes for a terrific day. Aloha. Janet
@JenJenkins Jen, aloha. Thx so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. You are so right that business and life are all about quality relationships.
Best wishes for a Terrific Tuesday. Aloha. Janet
Chris, aloha. Thx so much for letting me know you enjoyed it. @westfallonline @BrandFlair did have a great perspective. You are so right that @chattyprof is a great resource for the online community. Her posts always educate and entertain me. Aloha. Janet
Paul, it was my pleasure to include your quote because I thought it was great. Of course, that could be because I agree with what you said. Yes, it is amazing how perfect Darwin's quote is when applied to social media. @PaulBiedermann
Thx so much. Makes damage control easy, doesn't it? @BruceSallan
Jodine, aloha. #9 is something we all have to remember. A tweet or post is "out there" forever. What a find to discover the "hide" button. Now if they would jsut invent an "Ooops" button, I would be set. Best wishes for a great day @jodinesplace
Well said, Dixie. Thx so much for adding it to the collection. If we all remembered to do that, ahhhh "what a wonderful world this would be!" @DixieLil
WOW!, I see what you mean, John. Thx so much for alerting me. That one must have slipped past quality control! @BrandFlair

Men Feel More Pain After Major Surgeries, Study Finds
Latest Chronic Pain News
TUESDAY, June 3, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Gender may play a part in how much pain a patient feels following surgery, new research suggests.
An Austrian study involving more than 10,000 people found that men experience more pain after major surgery, while women report feeling more pain following minor procedures, such as biopsies.
"The influence of gender and sexes is a key issue of today's research in medicine. However, current literature in the field of perioperative medicine rarely focuses on this question," study co-author Dr. Andreas Sandner-Kiesling, of the department of anesthesiology & intensive care at the Medical University of Graz, Austria, said in a university news release.
"Our aim was to analyze a large population to find differences in postoperative pain perception in females and males," Sandner-Kiesling explained.
The patients involved in the four-year study were interviewed 24 hours after surgery. Of the patients surveyed, 42 percent were men and 58 percent were women. They were asked about their operation, the anesthesia they received and their pain and well-being.
Although gender didn't have an effect on pain after surgery overall, when the researchers grouped the patients with similar types of surgeries they found it did play a significant role.
The study, which was scheduled to be presented Tuesday at the Euroanaesthesia meeting in Stockholm, revealed that men were 27 percent more likely to have more moderate pain after major vascular and orthopedic surgery. Meanwhile, women were 34 percent more likely to report more pain after minor procedures.
"The gender differences on pain perception are still heavily disputed, both in experimental and clinical fields. Our data do not definitely clarify this issue; however, based on our findings it can be presumed that the type (and severity) of surgery may play a pivotal role," the study authors wrote.
Research presented at medical meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

|See the introductory essay on Carl Becker by George H. Sabine, prefaced to Becker's Freedom and Responsibility in the American Way of Life ( New York: Vintage Books, 1955). Sabine explains that Becker was a "relativist" according to whom history must be "continually rewritten," not because of the discovery of new facts, but because the historian is necessarily dominated by the "preconceptions" and "value judgments" of the age in which he lives, and it is these preconceptions which determine the meaning he finds in the facts. Becker would have derided Randall's idea of restoring "reality, " as a masquerade of the historian's prejudices in the guise of "detachment." Randall, we presume, might have questioned Becker's cogency when the latter affirmed, "Everything is unstable...except the idea of instability."

|Randall maintains (op. cit., pp. 126, 129-31) that popular sovereignty actually did keep slavery out of Kansas and that, since the Republicans in 1861 actually organized the territories of Dakota, Nevada, and Colorado without congressional prohibitions of slavery, the Douglas of the debates was thoroughly vindicated. But, as we shall argue at length later, this assertion involves a number of hypotheses and is no mere statement of fact; e.g., did the "principle of popular sovereignty" keep slavery from these places, or did free-soil opinion and determination, which rejected that principle when it rejected Douglas's leadership, keep it out?
|Randall, op. cit., p. 158.

ABSTRACT: Background and aims: The nuclear factor of the activated T cell (NFAT) family was primarily recognized for its central role in T lymphocyte activation. Recent evidence showed that NFAT isoforms participate in the regulation of genes related to cell proliferation and differentiation in epithelial malignancies. Here, we investigated the expression and activation of the calcineurin/NFAT transcription pathway and its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) proliferation. Methods: Expression of NFATc1 and calcineurin proteins was examined by immunohistochemical analyses in 76 human HCC samples. The cellular NFAT activation and distribution in HepG2 cells were analyzed by immunofluorescence and western blot analyses. After NFATc1 expression was knocked down by NFATc1-specific siRNA, we analyzed its implications in cell cycle progression and growth by MTT and flow cytometry. The impact of calcineurin/NFAT signaling on protein expression of c-myc and cox-2 were performed by western blot analyses. Results: NFATc1 is significantly overexpressed in HCC. The regulation of calcineurin activity by ionomycin or cyclosporin A caused rapid nuclear import or export of NFATc1 in HepG2 cells. NFATc1 knock-down led to a significant reduction in proliferation rates and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. The expression of c-myc and cox-2 was decreased in the NFATc1 knock-down HepG2 cells. Ionomycin increased c-myc and cox-2 expression in HepG2 cells, but not in siNFATc1 HepG2 cells. Conclusion: The calcineurin/NFATc1 signal is overexpressed and active in HCC. It may enhance the proliferative potential of HepG2 cells through transcriptional activation of the c-myc and cox-2 oncogenes.

Bethenny Frankel, Bravo TV's 'it' girl, will be featured on E! True Hollywood Story on September 21, 2011.
MSNBC confirms:
Bethenny Frankel appeared on "The Real Housewives of New York City" and has become an entrepreneur with her diet books and guilt-free cocktails.
Bethenny, currently filming the third season of her solo series "Bethenny Ever After", has also penned a three book deal with Touchstone Books… for fiction novels
USA Today reports that Frankel has signed on to pen a steamy romance novel, Skinny Dipping, as the first of a three-book series for the publishing house.
"It's about a girl's journey and what she wants, and trying to have it all. It's about the lessons and the people along the way, about naysayers and rising above," said Frankel, 40. "There will be a lot of juiciness and people wondering what it's based on and if any of it was influenced by my life."
Skinny Dipping is expected for an April 3, 2012 release through the Simon & Schuster imprint, which previously published her Naturally Thin, The Skinnygirl Rules, The Skinnygirl Dish and A Place of Yes.
Frankel recently spoke out about another facet of her Skinnygirl Empire, after Whole Foods opted not to reorder her line of Skinnygirl Maragaritas. The decision called into question Frankel's use of the unnatural ingredient sodium benzoate — a preservative.
"We would not sell anything that I don't personally drink," Frankel wrote on her personal website. "I'm a natural foods chef and health is a top priority for me and my family."
"The Skinnygirl Margarita is made with natural ingredients and its label is consistent with U.S. federal regulations," she continued. "Which is why it is carried in stores nationwide and continues to fly off the shelves."
As one of my critics out there in twitterland said: 'you need to change the name of your blog to "I Love Bethenny', as if I can change the fact that Bethenny's news is usually good news, despite all her detractors. The SkinnyGirl/Whole Foods controversy? Through with it…..as I eat my lunch from Whole Foods, preserved with sodium benzoate.
Work it, Bethenny

My only question though, not exactly related, is why your mouse cursor when using the loaded palette knife seems to actually line up with where the knife would be touching. I have a line for a cursor when I'm not painting, but whenever I press down on my pad to start painting I get a brush icon/pointer and the paint comes down way to the right of where my cursor was. It makes the palette knife incredibly frustrating to use. Any idea why mine might be doing this? Some setting?

Conference Paper
Parasitic source/drain resistance reduction in n-channel SOI MuGFETs with 15nm wide fins
IMEC, Heverlee, BelgiumDOI: 10.1109/SOI.2005.1563597 Conference: SOI Conference, 2005. Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International
Source: IEEE Xplore
We report on a set of process improvements leading to parasitic S/D resistance reduction in n-channel MuGFETs with 60 nm tall and 15 nm wide fins. We experimentally determine the contributions to the parasitic S/D resistance arising from the specific regions of the S/D geometry. A 50% reduction in the S/D resistance (from 1235 to 600 Ω-μm) is achieved by introducing various scaled processes, including EOT reduction, elevated S/D, undoped fins and removal of halos, reduction in S/D spacer width, and smaller gate lengths. The combination of these process enhancements leads to a 2× increase in IDSAT, measured at constant IOFF (=1nA/μm) and VDD=1.3V.
Article: Robust engineering of S/D diffusion doping and metal contact layouts for multifin triple-gate FETs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This letter describes the impact of major source/drain (S/D) diffusion and extension layouts on the performance of single-fin and multifin triple-gate (TG) FETs. The fundamental tradeoff between drive current and short-channel effects is clearly demonstrated. Two guidelines are introduced for designing multifin TG-FETs: 1) In order to suppress short-channel effects, the extension region should be shallow. However, the extension should be formed along the gate-electrode edge, otherwise, the large overall S/D resistance would become an obstacle to high drivability. 2) In order to realize high drivability, the cross-sectional area of the major S/D diffusion region, which carriers go through, should be large, to suppress the significant drain-induced barrier-lowering effect, and the region should not touch the buried oxide layer.
Article: Impact of Fin Aspect Ratio on Short-Channel Control and Drivability of Multiple-Gate SOI MOSFET's[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper puts forward an advanced consi-deration on the design of scaled multiple-gate FET (MuGFET); the aspect ratio (R h/w) of the fin height (h) to fin width (w) of MuGFET is considered with the aid of 3-D device simulations. Since any change in the aspect ratio must consider the trade-off between dri-vability and short-channel effects, it is shown that opti-mization of the aspect ratio is essential in designing MuGFET's. It is clearly seen that the triple-gate (TG) FET is superior to the conventional FinFET from the viewpoints of drivability and short-channel effects as was to be expected. It can be concluded that the guide-line of w < L/3, where L is the channel length, is essen-tial to suppress the short-channel effects of TG-FET.

Welcome to the Wikiversity content-development project for the C computer language, part of the Division of Computer Programming.
C is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world[1]. Therefore, C is a common choice for people wanting to learn how to program. This course assumes no previous programming experience and will guide you through all of the aspects of programming in C.
The course will roughly follow the C Programming book at Wikibooks as well as provide supplementary reading material for each lesson primarily through Wikipedia. Exercises will be given at the end of each course along with possible solutions. It is highly recommended that all of the exercises be worked because programming is learned by doing not just reading.
Note to Students and Prospective Contributors[edit]
It has been some time since this course has been updated and expanded on, and for some unknown reason I have a desire to start to work on it. The original author assumed the student would be using Turbo C. Since the online community is much more diverse on the types of operating systems in use, I feel it is more relevant to show examples and exercises using a number of different compilers and OSs (Clang for FreeBSD, GCC for Linux, Dev-C++ with MinGW for Windows, GCC and XCode for the Mac OS, and Ideone are my choices). Another alternative is Visual Studio Express 2012 which can be found here - http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2012-express
