Earlier this year, Acer announced the Liquid Jade smartphone and the Liquid Leap fitness band. Well if you're looking forward to either device, you might be interested to learn that the Liquid Leap is expected to see a launch in August, while the Liquid Jade's launch remains unknown. However it seems that an improved version of the Liquid Jade Plus has been pegged for an August launch as well.
According to the report, the Liquid Jade Plus is a slightly upgraded version of the Liquid Jade. It will feature 2GB of RAM which is an improvement over the 1GB on the Liquid Jade, and will also have its default storage bumped from 8GB to 16GB. Other than that both phones are expected to remain identical in terms of its specs.
This means that users can look forward to a 5-inch 720p HD display and dual SIM capabilities. There will be a quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor under the hood, a 2,100mAh battery, a 13MP rear-facing camera, and a 2MP front-facing camera, with Android 4.4 KitKat topping it off. It is expected to be made available in Germany in August where it will be priced at €279.
As for the Liquid Leap, it will also be launched in August where it will be priced at €99. Unfortunately Acer did not mention if and when would be bringing the Liquid Jade, Liquid Jade Plus, or the Liquid Leap to the US, but either way we will be keeping our eyes peeled for more information.

With all the NRA's talk about the government's plan to take everyone's guns, it is easy to forget the NRA's other traditional role -- promoting "sportsmen."
Sure, it's funny -- when you first consider it. But then the more you think about it, the more sense it actually makes. After all, is "Trump/Ventura 2016" really that much more outlandish than "Donald Trump, Republican presidential nominee" first sounded?
Week of 2/1/16 to 2/14/16 Twitter polls have become all the rage and I am continuing to take full advantage of them by boldly engaging the public o...
He may be known as the "Motor City Madman," but when Ted Nugent called me up a few months back as I sat in my hotel room in New Orleans, the way that he spoke reminded me of a book that I once read.
Now that the NRA is embracing those who are openly fantasizing about shooting and killing Democrats, will some of those high profile supporters begin to distance themselves from the organization and its toxic ideology? Probably not, given the media's lack of attention to the group's latest threat.
David Crosby is ensconced with a very elite group of musicians who used their songs and harmonies to end a war, discrimination and government wrongdoing. Bob Dylan and Joan Baez are others in this small group of troubadours that made a difference in the 1960's and 70's.
The dominance of semiautomatic pistols has greatly increased the firepower in civilian hands. Not only are semiautomatic pistols capable of rapid fire, they utilize high-capacity ammunition magazines and can be quickly reloaded. The combination of these features makes semiautomatic pistols efficient killing machines.
It's remarkable to think that, 20 years after we buried 168 Americans in a horrific of terrorism, we are hearing the same exact perverse philosophy being promoted by Republican candidates running for the office of President of the United States.
Pretending to know what it's like to be black in America isn't even remotely close to actually being black in America.
The NRA fully understands the racial dynamic at play here. As long as we can blame something other than guns, America will not have to come to terms with the truth that violence is a complicated phenomenon that is made far more lethal by the easy availability and killing power of firearms.
There are thirty gun deaths a day in America. I ache when I consider how many lives have been lost and ruined over senseless perverted NRA interpretations to the right to keep and bear arms.
My feeling about interviews with artists and bands is that these are people who you are inviting into your virtual house and they should be shown respect based on their being your guests. I believe it doesn't mean you have to agree with what they say or even endorse it, but it does mean civility should be the course.
With the controversy over the racist remarks of Cliven Bundy and Donald Sterling, one a rural cattle rancher in Nevada, the other an urbane California billionaire, we might want to reconsider just how "post-racial" America's race relations have really become.
It is impossible to disconnect the "states' rights," anti-government foundations of conservatism from the racism that hides beneath it, exposed nakedly every so often by the Cliven Bundys of the world.
Getting policy guidance from a confessed criminal is no longer that shocking for the Abbott campaign. His political maneuvers cannot be described as stumbles but are clearly becoming manifestations of a duplicitous belief system that will, at a minimum, confound, if not alienate, traditional Texas voters, including conservatives.

How on earth do these partners expenses go unchecked for so long? Like Grierson at Hogan Lovells last year this is a theft which could have been avoided if only the firm had proper risk management systems in place. There needs to be spot checks on legal expenses surely? And what kind of background check were carried out by the firm when hiring this woman?
Anonymous 12 January 2012 at 15:06
I don't think it's necessarily down to risk management. If senior professionals and owners of the business are going to go to the lengths of actually forging documents, it's always going to be difficult to combat. It would be interesting to know how this did in fact come to light. What is more surprising, idiotic, even tragic is that people would risk – and in this case lose – everything for the sake of RELATIVELY trivial sums of money (probably only a couple of month's earnings for them).
Anonymous 12 January 2012 at 15:34
More interesting is the fact (as gleaned from the Evening Standard report yesterday of the hearing) that after being dismissed by Fulbright, Holman Fenwick & Willan appointed Sharif in a support role at the firm on £165,000 a year. That is probably more than many of HFW's salaried partners and you have to wonder how she could justify such a salary as an office manager in a non fee earning role.

Sadly, it's all true – just did some research and seems English judges don't have gavels and have never had them. This is a very sad fact as I'd always thought BBC TV portrayals of judges hammering away and demanding 'Silence! Silence!' were totally accurate.

What is so depressing about these two idiots is what they did with the money. Give it to charity or a needy cause? Save it for a rainy day? Help out someone in trouble?
No, just bought themselves some over-priced consumer goods and a few unnecessary trinkets. I mean what on earth even IS a key holder?
Anonymous 12 January 2012 at 17:41
It is clearly pretty dumb for some firms to pay a NQ £100k (when something nearer £60k would be more than enough), but £160k for an office manager? You must be able to hire some top ones for no more than £100k surely? This ridiculously high salary seems more shocking than the thefts and makes HFW look like complete fools (especially when added to the poor DD in their hiring process).

The reason why they got legal aid is because they were subject to a court order freezing their assets.
Because they are effectively potless they were in tilted to legal aid however the judge did say he would see to it that every penny will be paid back to the tax payer.

South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera

Protesters clashed with police in Indian-administered Kashmir on Monday, in the latest such confrontation over the deaths of two Kashmiri boys earlier this month.
More than 100 people have been arrested so far for taking part in the demonstrations.
Zahid Farooq, 17, and Wamiq Farooq, 13, were killed by Indian police in separate incidents, sparking widespread public anger in an already volatile region.
Zahid was playing with his friends outside his home when a security officer allegedly shot him because he called the policeman names.
Just days before that, Wamiq was fatally hit on the head by a teargas shell fired by police during a protest.
Indian officials have admitted that police officers were responsible for the deaths and say they are investigating the cases.
Monday's demonstrations coincided with the launch of an "Independent People's Tribunal on Human Rights Violation in Kashmir" by local activists in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir.
Faisal Qadri, one of the organisers, said the intention is to inform Kashmiris of their rights and raise awareness of the situation in the state.
"The purpose is to help victims, who for the last 20 years have had to live through a conflict where numerous incidents of human-rights violations such as disappearances, custodial killings, torture and rape have occurred," he said
Since 1989, the predominantly Muslim region has been the scene of an armed uprising against Indian rule.
By some estimates, the conflict has left more than 68,000 people, mostly civilians, dead and up to 200,000 people displaced.

British jihadist in Syria could be tried for war crimes and jailed for life after using Twitter to brazenly boast about his role in the 'execution' of prisoners
- Reyaad Khan, 20, tweeted bloodthirsty messages and images
- Said he saw a decapitation, and posted pictures of disfigured corpses
- According to a QC and former UN judge, tweets could be used to prosecute
- Warned that jihadists heading to Syria and Iraq could face life in jail
'Could be jailed for war crimes': Reyaad Khan, 20, pictured above in an ISIS recruitment video, has boasted about executions and posted pictures online
A British jihadist could be tried for war crimes and jailed for life after using Twitter to brazenly boast about his role in the 'execution' of prisoners in Syria.
Reyaad Khan, 20, has repeatedly uploaded bloodthirsty posts and pictures on social media bragging about the inhumane killings.
In one he posted graphic photographs of the distorted corpses of alleged victims, tweeting: 'Guys we caught & executed. This is how they looked less than an hr l8er'.
The former college student from Cardiff also laughed about witnessing the 'longest decapitation ever' and boasted in another: 'Executed many prisoners yesterday.'
His claims about his involvement in the crimes carried out by a unit of ISIS are now being investigated by the United Nations.
Khan, who once dreamt of becoming Britain's first Asian prime minister, could see his name added to the investigators' list of suspected war criminals in Syria for future prosecution.
Experts believe that Khan, who is one of three young men from Cardiff who joined the group, could also be put on trial for alleged war crimes in a British court if he ever returns to the UK.
Gory: Khan uploaded pictures of men he said his militant comrades had executed, then seemingly disfigured
Propaganda: Kahn (left) appeared in a recruitment video encouraging young men to join ISIS's jihad in Syria and Iraq, alongside Nasser Muthana (centre) and former Aberdeen schoolboy Abdul Raqib Amin (right)
Geoffrey Robertson QC, a former UN appeals judge, said: 'Any boasts on social media – even a tweet – about killing will be jumped on by the prosecution as a confession and used in evidence.
'If you fight for Isis, your complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity would be virtually inevitable.'
He added: 'Young people contemplating travel to Syria to join a group like ISIS must be warned that if they return they can be prosecuted at the Old Bailey and jailed for long periods for the war crimes and crimes against humanity that these groups are committing.
'Under an 1861 law, guilt of even one murder of a foreigner is enough to land them in jail for life.'
ISIS, which has recently changed its name to Islamic State, announced last month it has formed a caliphate across Syria and Iraq.
Firepower: Boasting tweets posted by Khan include this picture of a modified machine gun
Risk: A QC and former UN judge said that tweets such as the above could lead to prosecution for murder
Up to 500 British Muslims are believed to be in the region with as many as half joining forces with ISIS, a group known for its extreme violence, including crucifying and beheading its enemies.
Khan's Twitter claims are being examined by the UN after details of his posts were passed on to investigators by the Sunday Times.
The Welsh youngster who left for Syria earlier this year was first exposed as a jihadist in June after he appeared in an ISIS propaganda video brandishing a rifle urging other Britons to join him.
Just last month, he used his Twitter account to boast about his part in the killings of rivals from the Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) while fighting in the city of Deir Ezzor in Syria.
Using his alias Abu Dujana RK he wrote on July 5: 'Executed many prisoners yesterday, (they) sold their deen (religion) for $70 which they didn't even get.'
Terror: Khan's made flippant remarks about his jihad lifestyle, such as the above reference to suicide bombing
In response, another ISIS fighter said: 'Epic executions bro, we need to step it up like the brothers in Iraq.'
Three days later on July 8, Khan, a former A-grade student, wrote: 'Probably saw the longest decapitation ever. And we made sure the knife was sharp. Brother who was next decided to the use the glock (pistol) lol.'
When some of Khan's Twitter followers morbidly asked for photographs, he replied: 'Don't hav pics. Just vids. Not allowed to post. Bros un-masked in vid having fun.'
On July 16, Khan, whose parents have begged for him to return to their home in Riverside, posted several bloody images of bloated and disfigured corpses.
His tweet added: 'JN guys we caught & executed. This is how they looked less than an hr l8er. Still think JN r knights of the Ummah (Muslim community)?'
Killings: Khan says he saw a man's head slowly removed, then includes 'lol', the acronym for 'laugh out loud'
When one of his 1,500 followers, questioned the authenticity of the photos, Khan replied: 'I was there when they got killed.'
Days later Khan also posted a picture of an automatic assault rifle with the caption, 'Check this little badboy out'.
And on July 20 he asked: 'Anyone want to sponsor my explosive belt? Gucci give me a shout'
The head of the UN's commission of inquiry on Syria, Paulo Pinheiro, revealed last week that UN investigation teams were currently compiling an exhaustive dossier on war crimes suspects including details of ISIS fighters.
Mr Pinheiro said: 'I can assure you we are now collecting information on perpetrators from all sides including non-state armed groups and ISIS.'
The UN human rights office added: 'It is deeply tragic that young men like this are coming from abroad and getting sucked into this terrible conflict where the most appalling atrocities have become commonplace.
'We will pass on any information we receive of serious crimes to the independent commission of inquiry on Syria.'

Review : Hitler, a Study In Tyranny
By Kit Stevens
Picton Little Theatre
This play was always going to be fascinating, not least because the back-story and outcome were already known.
The subject committed a well recorded suicide immediately after the time period presented in the play.
Add to that the fact that the subject was one of the world's most despised tyrants and the play was sure to be challenging.
The first act looks at Adolf Hitler through the eyes of his personal valet Heinz Linge, a man who saw Hitler as, "a good boss". He reminisces about such things as Hitler's many spectacles, his nightshirts, his shaving habits (with insights about that moustache), his breakfast preferences and even his trouble with flatulence.
Linge describes the suicide of Hitler and his mistress Eva Braun dispassionately, and saves his strongest emotion for when he relates the deaths of Joseph Goebbels' children.
After 40 minutes of Stevens presenting a valet's recollection of Hitler that was at times endearing, I was braced after the interval for a representation of the Fuehrer that might in some horrifying way present him as normal.
And therein lies the strength of this play. When we meet Stevens' Hitler in 20 minutes of intense self-justified posturing, striding and waving arms with manic bursts of paranoid emotion, he is just like we imagined. And that is chillingly reassuring.
Stevens, the actor, switches from a mild-mannered servant to an impassioned dictator, complete with twitching hand movements, with consummate skill.
And Stevens, the writer, did not make the mistake of trying to cover all the facts, and all the issues, surrounding Hitler's last days.
Well researched, it is, as the title indicates, a study; a snapshot of tyranny at a specific moment in history. And as such, it is a compelling piece of theatre.
The play is being presented at 8pm again today and tomorrow.

from Broadcast Engineering
Washington - Dec 8, 2008 - FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, a Republican whose time is almost up as chairman, will leave the job with a bang by pushing a controversial proposal on Dec. 18 to create free Internet access for all Americans. Mobile phone companies, who paid billions of dollars for their spectrum, vehemently oppose Martin's plan to auction spectrum with a mandate to set aside part of it for free Internet use. Free speech advocates don't like Martin's idea that the winning bidder must block adult and other "offensive" content from the free access.
"Everybody likes the concept -- free broadband, free access to the Internet -- but in practice, the way the model is set up, it may present problems," Ben Scott, policy director of advocacy group Free Press, told Reuters.
The winning bidder would be required to set aside a quarter of the airwaves for free Internet service and could establish a paid service that would have a faster wireless Internet connection.
T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telekom, argued that the free Internet component of the proposal would lead to interference with the adjacent spectrum. The FCC's office of engineering and technology said that is not true.
Reuters noted that Martin's proposal is similar to one offered by startup M2Z Networks, a group backed by investors including venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers. M2Z President John Muleta envisions consumers buying a router for free Internet access at midlevel DSL speed and paying a fee to upgrade to a faster service. A lack of competition and rising prices for Internet services are creating consumer demand for cheaper service, he said.
Martin, unlikely to get the support of his two Republican colleagues on the FCC, must persuade the commission's two Democrats, who have supported the free Internet concept, to side with him. It is unclear whether the Democrats will back the proposal.

There might be hell in Harlem over Baauer's "Harlem Shake" dance craze, but Diddy sees the viral sensation as a victory for his hometown.
"It's fun; it's a fun version. Any time people are dancing, especially in this day and age when everybody's trying to be so cool, and people are letting loose, letting off some steam, I agree with it," the Bad Boy music mogul told MTV News on Wednesday while he was out in Los Angeles with Mark Wahlberg at their AQUAhydrate launch.
Baauer's kinetic dance hit, which was originally released last year, hit it big recently after a string of infectious viral videos featuring plenty of jump cuts of fans frantically dancing in motorcycle helmets and other wacky costumes. Because of its newfound popularity, the track has amassed over 100 million clicks on YouTube and became the #1 song in the country last week.
Not everyone is thrilled about this new "Harlem Shake," however. The dance, although seemingly unrelated, borrows its name from another dance that is widely credited to Harlem native Al B. As the story goes, Al B first did the drunken-yet-more-rhythmic shake during street basketball games at the famed Rucker Park on 155th Street back in 1981. The original Shake caught fire in the late '90s and became all the rage after G-Dep and Puff featured kids doing the coordinated moves in the music video for their 2001 single "Let's Get It."
In a recent YouTube video published by Schlepp Films, Harlem residents sound off against the new Shake, and on Monday, upcoming Harlem rapper Vinny Cha$e also questioned the validity of the new-fangled shimmy: "People that never been to Harlem, thinking that's what the Harlem Shake is, and that's so far from what that is," he told MTV News on Tuesday.

The way Diddy sees it, the new dance is all about having fun, and he's ready to support anything that promotes Harlem in a positive light.

Today was a good day and its been a good week. But now at 5:30am I don't even know where my bf is. He has not come home. I let him hang out with his friends at 11pm and thought he would be out for a few hrs. I wake up and he's not here. I know nothing good happens after 2am. I'm not stupid! Now he won't text back. At this point I'm more worried than mad.
Update pg 4. Trouble in paradise again!

Find out where his friends are and see if they will tell you anything. If not, when he comes home he's as good as guilty. Kick his ass. I have no tolerance for men like this. The one who did stuff like this turned out to be a thievin sociopath and I lost a lot of money and a lot of my life to him. Don't give nobody the benefit of the doubt. Do a thorough investigation and follow your gut. If something isn't right, it probably isn't.
Posted 11/25/2012
At first I was gonna let him slide if he came home at 2am. He's always with his sister's husband, there good friends. I think I will call her at 7 if he's not home. I honestly don't want to get anyone involved.

Recruiting challenges.
May 6, 2016
The big question in hiring somebody right out of graduate school is not about the person's research but whether he or she can deal with teenagers who have never read serious literature and don't particularly want to, writes Bruce Fleming.
May 5, 2016
The values that undergird higher education as a guarantor of human dignity and enlightenment are under a special intensity of attack, argues Robert Weisbuch, while we in academe seem preoccupied with the little stuff.

Around 1952, the brown treesnake ( Boiga irregularis) arrived on Guam from somewhere in the South Pacific, presumably as an accidental passenger on a cargo vessel. It settled in and multiplied. This snake's invasion of Guam is a nightmarish instance of ecological disaster. The animal has devoured the whole populations of native species on the island, blown electrical generators, gulped down pets, and attacked children.

Hear the words, because Ozzie is making sense
Updated: August 3, 2010, 1:56 PM ETBy John Kruk | ESPN
Ozzie Guillen ruffled some feathers Sunday when he complained about the unfair treatment of Latin American players versus Japanese players -- but I couldn't agree with his observation more. I have always felt like the treatment of Latino players is an ongoing problem.I remember how awkward it was for me the first year I played winter ball in Mexico. Someone who couldn't speak a word of English picked me up from the airport. He dropped me off at the hotel, and someone knocked on my door ...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Don Jon, 2013, 35 mm, color, sound, 90 minutes. Barbara Sugarman and Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlett Johansson). Photo: Daniel McFadden ©2013 Relativity Media, LLC.
SWEET BUT NEVER AS STICKY as its onanistic title character's wadded-up Kleenex, Don Jon proves as winning as its irrepressible writer-director-lead, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This buoyant comedy about Internet-porn addiction, which marks the feature helming debut of the thirty-two-year-old actor, more effectively analyzes the simultaneous appetite for and detachment from sex abetted by the Web than Steve McQueen's grim, moralistic, high-toned Shame (2011).
"Real pussy is all good, but it's not as good as porn," Jon Martello avers in voice-over early in the film, each vowel roughed up by his thick Jersey cadence. This buff Lothario bartender has no problem luring the hottest females he meets at various nightclubs in the 201 area code to his fastidiously kept apartment (Jon loves to Swiffer). But after his various bedmates have drifted off to postcoital sleep, Jon can't resist opening his laptop to beat off to pixelated XXX action—an urge he can't abstain from at any other hour, either. Not even a seemingly blissful relationship with Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson, a perfect Garden State cupcake)—"the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," Jon boasts to his friends and family—can cure his craving for pornhub.com.
For all of its broad humor—there are running gags about Jon's Sunday rituals, which include tallying his sins of the flesh during confession and guido shouting matches with his father (Tony Danza) during family dinner—Gordon-Levitt's film is one of the more astute about highlighting pop-cultural pathologies that do nothing but exacerbate already rigid, unhealthy gender roles. Jon's porn habits may have ruined his ability to be truly sexually intimate with a woman, but Barbara's own fixation with romantic dramedies—another type of movie promoting wildly unrealistic ideas about relationships—proves harmful as well. (She is especially enraptured by Someone Special, a film-within-a-film featuring Channing Tatum and Anne Hathaway that sharply sends up, down to its banal, Nicholas Sparks–esque title, the cloying genre.) "When a real man loves a woman, he'll do anything for her," Barbara says, indicating how deeply she's been indoctrinated into Mars–Venus thinking—brainwashing that begins early, as a party for a little girl that the couple attends shows every single guest under ten in pink princess gowns.
Other spoofs embedded in Don Jon reveal, without ever becoming didactic, porn's inexorable influence on other media. During Sunday supper, the Martellos watch a TV commercial with an oiled-up model doing obscene things with her lunch: "Charbroiled Cod Sandwich: More Than Just a Piece of Meat," goes the tagline. (Considering the real-life TV spots for M&Ms, in which the anthropomorphized candies seem just seconds away from a Plato's Retreat–like orgy, perhaps this fake ad doesn't seem so far-fetched.) Jon eventually meets someone with whom he can realize what he had previously been able to achieve only from devouring dirty websites: the ability to "lose" himself. Don Jon's story arc may be conventional, but it contains one of the most radical lines I've heard in a film this year: "I'm not thinking about marriage, and she isn't either."
Don Jon opens September 27.

c needs to be greather than or equal to 101
101 cans

12. Lesser antillean flycatcher
14 scaly breasted thrasher
Unfortunately I don't have a field guide to the area, but one or two I've managed to suss out:
# 6 - Key West Quail-dove - that white handlebar moustache is a good clue.
# 8 - yep, Scaly-naped Pigeon
# 14 - don't think that's it, as your bird has a much longer bill than pics I found of Scaly-breasted Thrasher. But not sure what it is!
Good call on the KWQ dove, I think 14 is a grey trembler after a little more research.

The Jordan effect: Third of young women would swap IQ for larger breasts
They say it's what's inside that counts – but most young women in this country would beg to differ, it seems.
Shocking new research shows almost half of young women aged 18 to 25 would prefer to have large breasts than high intelligence - with a third even saying they would gladly swap.
Experts have blamed the growing obsession with celebrity culture among youngsters together with the burgeoning market for plastic surgery.
Shocking new research shows almost half of young women aged 18 to 25 would prefer to have large breasts like Katie Price's, left, than the high intelligence of women like the Deputy PM's wife and lawyer Miriam Clegg
The study, which has alarmed women's groups, also found a quarter of those surveyed felt bigger breasts would make them feel 'happier'.
And almost 60 per cent of the respondents believed that men would be 'more interested' in them romantically if they had bigger breasts.
It comes amid widespread concern about the pressures put on modern-day women through advertising and magazines.
Kat Banyard from women's group UK Feminista said: 'Women face now unprecedented pressures to focus on their body.
'Industries that focus on the way women look are flourishing – and that means that from a very early age, women are taught that the way they look matters more than what they do.
'The consequences of this can manifest in eating disorders or extreme measures such as plastic surgery.
'These figures show that women still loathe their bodies on an industrial scale.'
Despite forgetting her lines, Jordan, who recently took part in a debate at Cambridge University beat the opposing team and got a loud cheer from the audience
The survey of 1,142 women by the discount website by www.MyVoucherCodes.co.uk aimed to discover more about the attitudes young women hold towards brains and beauty.
In contrast with bigger breasts would attract more men, just 43 per cent felt that men would be 'more interested' in them if they had a higher IQ.
Researchers also found around 40 per cent of respondents would rather have a 'slim figure' than high intelligence, with many stating that it would make them feel 'more confident'.
Almost the same percentage of people said they would swap their IQ in order to be their 'ideal dress size'.
When it came to relationships, most women felt men 'valued' intelligence in women, although two thirds said they felt appearance was more important when attracting a partner.
The same was true in the workplace, with almost half believing that being 'attractive' would also further a woman in her career.
Almost 80 per cent also felt they were judged more so on their appearance than their intelligence.
Mamta Saha, psychologist, said: 'Celebrity culture is much more accessible than it ever was before. We are bombarded with images of beautiful women with enhanced features such as full lips and large chests.
'It's easy to look at these women and make the connection between the way they look and success – but this can turn into an unhealthy fixation.
'Beauty will always fade, so it's important to work on having high self-esteem internally.'

Line JK bisects line MN at point j. Find MN if JM= 6 3/4 feet?
|dw:1316035534514:dw| Since JK bisects MN.. that means that jM is the same length as jN. Therefore, just double jM and you have your answer. MN = 13.5 feet. Make sense?

Here's the question you clicked on:
what is the power series form for quadratic terms?(in two variable calculus)
A power series is done pretty much the same as single variable, but you have to take all the variables into account. So in the linear term, you replace df/dx with di f/ di x + di f/di y. (I'm saying "di" in place of the curly d for partial derivatives because the equation editor doesn't seem to support partials.) To get the second derivative term you have to take the partial with respect to both variables of the original partials. So replace d^2 f/dx^2 with (di^2 f/di x^2 + di^2 f/di y^2 + 2 di^2 f/ di x di y). Third derivative is harder, and with more than two variables it gets really bad really quick, especially with trig functions or exponentials. So they often lump the second or third derivative terms together behind a capital script "O", meaning "on the order of", and then give the most significant power of the most significant variable, as in "O x^4", then prove that that is insignificant compared to the terms already listed, and ignore it. I first ran across this in an MIT paper on wave propagation in a taut string. That led directly to my review of calculus on OCW...

Minimum Essential Coverage & Who Is Exempt
If you can afford health insurance and you don't have coverage in 2016, you may have to pay a fee of 2.5% of your yearly household income or $695 per person ($347.50 per child under 18). This is considerably higher than the fees when the marketplace began in 2014 (1% of your yearly income or $95 per person ($47.50 per child), whichever was higher).
Coverage Minimum
To avoid the fee, you need coverage that qualifies as minimum essential coverage. For 2016, you will be considered covered (and won't have to pay a fee) if you have any of the following plans:
- Any employer plan (including COBRA)
- Any individual insurance plan that you already have
- Any Marketplace plan
- Most Medicaid coverage
- Medicare Part A and Medicare Advantage Plans
- Peace Corps Volunteer plans
- The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
- TRICARE (active and retired military, families and survivors)
- Certain types of veteran's health coverage administered by the Veteran's Administration
- Coverage under the Non-Appropriated Fund Health Benefit Program
- Refugee Medical Assistance supported by the Administration for Children and Families
- Self-funded health coverage offered to students by universities (there are specific rules for which plans are covered)
- State high risk pools for plan or policy years that begin on or before Dec. 31, 2014
Who's Exempt
If you don't have coverage in 2016 you may not have to pay the fee if you fall under these exemptions:
- Are a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe
- Are insured for at least nine months of the year
- Don't have to file a tax return because of low income
- Have a very low income and you cannot afford coverage (you must complete an application on the Marketplace to determine whether your income qualifies you for an exemption)
- Participate in a healthcare sharing ministry
- Are incarcerated
- Would qualify for Medicaid (under the new income limits) but your state has chosen not to expand eligibility
- Are a member of a recognized religious sect (such as the Amish and some Mennonite sects) that objects to health insurance
Tip: What determines if you can afford coverage? The IRS determines affordable coverage. Coverage is not considered affordable if it costs more than 8% of your annual household income or if your income falls below income-tax thresholds.Important Dates to Know

To allwwhom t may concern.' Y Be it known that I, VIRGiNIA W. COLLIER, a citizen-of` the United-States of America,

It is the object of the invention to obtain a light and compact portable dressing cabinet which may be easily carried from place to place being more particularly designed for use by bathers. To this end the invention comprises the novel construction as hereinafter set forth.

South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
25 Aug 2013 16:58 GMT | Asia Pacific, Myanmar
At least 12 people have been arrested after a renewed bout of religious violence in Myanmar's northern Sagaing region in which dozens of homes were set ablaze.
The Ministry of Information said the sectarian unrest in a central village of Kanbalu followed the attempted rape of a Buddhist woman by a Muslim man on Saturday evening.
According to the statement, after the man was detained, about 150 villagers and three Buddhist monks gathered at the police station, demanding he be handed over to them.
When the police refused, the mob rioted, destroying Muslim bulildings, throwing rocks at police and attacking firemen
About 1,000 Buddhists, some carrying sticks and swords, attacked Muslim villagers the same night, destroying more than 40 homes and shops, witnesses said.
Calm was restored on Sunday. Witnesses said some Muslims fled to neighbouring villages or sheltered in a Muslim school.
A Muslim eyewitness said the cause of the unrest appeared to have been an argument between a young Muslim man and a Buddhist woman, but he denied the man attempted to rape the woman.
Myanmar has been grappling with sectarian violence since the country's military rulers handed over power to a nominally civilian government in 2011.
The unrest began last year in the western state of Rakhine, where Buddhists accuse the Rohingya Muslim community of illegally entering the country and encroaching on their land.
Last week watchdog Physicians for Human Rights said Myanmar risked "catastrophic" levels of conflict with "potential crimes against humanity and/or genocide" if authorities failed to stem anti-Muslim hate speech and a culture of impunity around the clashes.
Rights groups have accused authorities of being unable or unwilling to contain the unrest, which has left about 250 people dead and more than 140,000 homeless. The vast majority of victims have been Muslim, who make up at least four percent of the population. Myanmar has rejected the claims.
