Apple unveiled the new iPhone 7 on Wednesday. Take a look back at how far this game-changing smartphone has come.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone in January 2007, calling it three revolutionary devices rolled into one.
The first iPhone featured a revolutionary multi-finger touchscreen that controlled a widescreen iPod, phone and Web surfer.
Aware of its position, the device was the first to switch between portrait and landscape mode.
The phone service included "visual voicemail," making it more like email, so no more hearing older calls first.
Contacts could be shared with a PC and dialed directly, or from lists of recent or favorite calls. There is also an on-screen keypad.
Text-messaging on the phone appeared like an IM conversation. Several conversations could be kept active at once.
Making a pinching motion with two fingers can enlarge or shrink the screen, while double tapping zooms in or clicks through a link.
The iPhone 3G went on sale in June 2008. It introduced the iPhone App Store and supported assisted GPS and 3G data.
A year later, the iPhone 3GS was introduced. It looked the same as the 3G, but was faster and featured a higher resolution camera, video capabilities and voice control.
Jobs unveiled the iPhone 4 in June 2010. The new device featured video chat, could shoot and edit high-definition video and had a crisper screen resolution than the 3GS.
Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, speaks about iPhones, including the new iPhone 4S, at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., on Oct. 4, 2011.
The iPhone 5 was unveiled in the fall of 2012. It's 20 percent lighter and 18 percent thinner than the iPhone 4S but has a larger screen, a more powerful 4G LTE modem and a better camera. The phone also comes with a new, faster processor called the Apple A6 and is made entirely of glass and aluminum.
The bigger screen accommodates a fifth row of icons. Users can also post to Facebook using Siri.
iPhone 5 users get up to eight hours of talk time on the iPhone 5 battery. Its speaker is 20 percent smaller, and is charged with a new "lightning" dock connector that is 80 percent smaller.
Apple unveiled two versions of the iPhone on Sept. 10, 2013. This is the cheaper model -- the iPhone 5C, which comes in five different colors with a variety of cases to choose from and costs just $99 for 16GB with a two-year contract.
The 5S comes in metallic hues and features performance upgrades, including the first 64-bit chip in a smartphone. Apple's A7 has tested at up to twice as fast as the iPhone 5's processor. There's also a fingerprint scanner for security and a motion co-processor that will let the phone be used as a fitness tracker along the lines of a FitBit.
Apple unveiled the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on Sept. 9, 2014. The phones have curved edges and bigger screens that measure 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, up from just 4 inches on the iPhone 5S. The larger iPhones have what Apple is calling "Retina HD" displays.
The iPhone 6 comes with more than 1 million pixels -- a third more pixels than the iPhone 5S. The iPhone 6 Plus has 2 million pixels, double the iPhone 5S' screen.
Apple on Wednesday, September 9, 2015, unveiled the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus as the "most advanced smartphones in the world," Apple CEO Tim Cook said. "While they may look familiar, we have changed everything about these new iPhones." The phones come in four aluminum colors, including rose gold, gold, silver and gray.
The new phones feature 3-D touch, a 12-megapixel camera with "live photo" capability, a five-megapixel Facetime camera and 4K video capability. The new iPhones will be priced at the same levels as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were upon release.
The iPhone 7 was presented on Sept. 8 by Apple Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller.
The Home button is now force sensitive. Instead of knowing you pressed the button because it clicked, it will vibrate. Schiller said the revolutionary new button is "creating new feelings and experiences that could not have been created before."
The iPhone 7 now comes in two new colors: a high gloss jet black finish and a matte black. It's also still available in gold, silver and rose gold (yes, pink). The phones will ship with iOS 10. Existing iPhones can upgrade to the new mobile OS on Sept. 13.

The speculation continues to grow over whether Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is planning to run for president.
It was announced this week that Walker is writing a memoir which set to be released later this year. Some believe it's just another indication that he wants to make a run at the the White House.
"Hopefully (the book) will get as much attention later in the year when it comes out," said Walker. He says the book will be a guide to people in other states on how to make reforms.
However, is that the true reason for writing it? Publishing a book is a way many candidates have helped raise money and notoriety before they gear up for a run for president.
Walker contends that his focus remains on Wisconsin but says being mentioned as a candidate for president means he's doing something right as governor.
"If I continue to do a good job for the people of Wisconsin, people will talk. If I do a lousy job, they won't talk," said Walker
"I think it's a signal," said Karri Kline, chair of the La Crosse County Democratic Party. Kline and other Democrats say the book shows that Governor Walker isn't fully invested in Wisconsin.
"My point of view, no. Why whould I elect someone that is going to leave possibly in a couple years because he's more interested in running for president than running our state," said Kline.
"I love being governor. As you guys know, I had to work pretty hard twice in the last two years to be governor. In fact, by next year's election is will be 3 times in 4 years," said Walker, referring to his election victory in 2010 and recall victory in 2012.
Earlier this month, Walker spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference in the Washington D.C. area. The high-profile event featured a straw poll of early favorites to represent the Republican Party in 2016. Gov. Walker came in sixth place with just 5% of the votes.

"I hear the same things you hear: The ghosts of the past of the Los Angeles Police Department," Beck said Sunday. "I hear that people think maybe there is something to what he says, and I want to put that to rest."
Despite numerous reviews of Dorner's case, he said it has "never been reviewed by me."
"If there is anything new, we will deal with it, and we will deal with it in a public way," Beck said.

The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. Peace Corps/The Gambia maintains a clinic with a full-time medical officer who takes care of Volunteers' primary health-care needs. Additional medical services, such as testing and basic treatment, are also available in The Gambia at local hospitals. If you become seriously ill, you will be transported either to an American-standard medical facility in the region or to the United States.

Health Issues in The Gambia
Major health problems among Volunteers in The Gambia are rare and are often the result of a Volunteer's not taking preventive measures to stay healthy. The most century 21 broker properti jual beli sewa rumah Indonesia common minor health problems are ones that also exist in the United States, that is, colds, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, constipation, sinus infections, skin infections, headaches, dental problems, minor injuries, STDs, adjustment disorders, emotional problems, and alcohol abuse. These problems may be more frequent or compounded by life in The Gambia because certain environmental factors here raise the risk of or exacerbate the severity of certain illnesses and injuries.
The most common major health concerns in The Gambia are malaria, giardiasis, amoebic dysentery, and hepatitis. Because malaria is endemic in The Gambia, you are required to take antimalarial pills. In addition, you will be vaccinated to protect you against hepatitis A and B, meningitis A and C, tetanus, diphtheria, typhoid, and rabies.
Helping You Stay Healthy
The Peace Corps will provide you with all the necessary inoculations, medications, and information to stay healthy. Upon your arrival in The Gambia, you will receive a medical handbook. At the end of training, you will receive a medical kit with supplies to take care of mild illnesses and first-aid needs. The contents of the kit are listed later in this chapter.
During training, you will have access to basic medical supplies through the medical officer. However, you will be responsible for your own supply of prescription drugs century 21 broker properti jual beli sewa rumah Indonesia and any other specific medical supplies you require, as we will not order these items during training. Please bring a three-month supply of any prescription drugs you use, since they may not be available here and it may take several months for shipments to arrive.
You will have physicals at midservice and at the end of your service. If you develop a serious medical problem during your service, the medical officer in The Gambia will consult with the Office of Medical Services in Washington, D.C. If it is determined that your condition cannot be treated in The Gambia, you may be sent out of the country for further evaluation and care.
Maintaining Your Health
As a Volunteer, you must accept a certain amount of responsibility for your own health. Proper precautions will significantly reduce your risk of serious illness or injury. The old adage "An ounce of prevention …" becomes extremely important in areas where diagnostic and treatment facilities are not up to the standards of the United States. The most important of your responsibilities in The Gambia is to take preventive measures.
The most important step in preventing malaria, and many other tropical diseases, is to avoid mosquito and other insect bites by sleeping under a mosquito net, wearing long-sleeved tops and long pants whenever possible, using insect repellent, and making sure your windows and doors have screens.
Rabies is prevalent throughout the region, so you will receive a series of immunizations against it when you arrive in The Gambia. If you are exposed to an animal that is either known to have or suspected of having rabies, you must inform the Peace Corps medical officer at once so that you can receive post-exposure booster shots.
Many illnesses that afflict Volunteers worldwide are entirely preventable if proper food and water precautions are taken. These illnesses include food poisoning, parasitic infections, hepatitis A, dysentery, tapeworms, and typhoid fever. Thoroughly washing fruits and vegetables and either boiling your drinking water or using a water filter and disinfectants (such as household bleach) can help prevent these illnesses. The medical officer will discuss specific standards for water and food preparation in The Gambia during pre-service training.
AIDS is less common in The Gambia than in other parts of Africa, but is far more common than in the United States.
Abstinence is the only certain choice for prevention of HIV/AIDS and other STDs. You are taking risks if you choose to be sexually active. To lessen risk, use a condom every timeyou have sex. Whether your partner is a host country citizen,a fellow Volunteer, or anyone else, do not assume this person is free of HIV/AIDS or other STDs. You will receive more information from the medical officer about this important issue.
Volunteers are expected to adhere to an effective means of birth control to prevent an unplanned pregnancy. Your medical officer can help you decide on the most appropriate method to suit your individual needs. Contraceptive methods are available without charge from the medical officer. Generic formulations may be substituted for brand names. You may be asked to switch to a pill routinely stocked by the health unit.
It is critical to your health that you promptly report to the medical office for scheduled immunizations, and that you let the medical officer know immediately of significant illnesses and injuries.
Women's Health Information
Pregnancy is treated in the same manner as other Volunteer health conditions requiring medical attention but also has programmatic ramifications. The Peace Corps is responsible for determining the medical risk and the availability of appropriate medical care if the Volunteer remains in-country. Given the medical circumstances that exist in The Gambia, any Volunteer who becomes pregnant is medically separated.
Few feminine hygiene products are available for you to purchase in The Gambia. If you require a specific feminine hygiene product, please bring a six-month supply with you.
Your Peace Corps Medical Kit
The Peace Corps medical officer provides Volunteers with a kit that contains basic items necessary to prevent and treat illnesses that may occur during service. Kit items can be periodically restocked at the medical office.

Before You Leave: A Medical Checklist
If there has been any change in your health—physical, mental, or dental—since you submitted your examination reports to the Peace Corps, you must immediately notify the Office of Medical Services. Failure to disclose new illnesses, injuries, allergies, or pregnancy can endanger your health and may jeopardize your eligibility to serve.
If your dental exam was done more than a year ago, or if your physical exam is more than two years old, contact the Office of Medical Services to find out whether you need to update your records. If your dentist or Peace Corps dental consultant has recommended that you undergo dental treatment or repair, you must complete that work and make sure your dentist sends requested confirmation reports or X-rays to the Office of Medical Services.
If you wish to avoid having duplicate vaccinations, contact your physician's office, obtain a copy of your immunization record, and bring it to your pre-departure orientation. If you have any immunizations prior to Peace Corps service, the Peace Corps cannot reimburse you for the cost. The Peace Corps will provide all the immunizations necessary for your overseas assignment, either at your pre-departure orientation or shortly after you arrive in The Gambia. You do not need to begin taking malaria medication prior to departure.
Bring a three-month supply of any prescription or over-thecounter medication you use on a regular basis, including birth control pills. Although the Peace Corps cannot reimburse you for this three-month supply, we will order refills during your service. While awaiting shipment—which can take several months—you will be dependent on your own medication supply. The Peace Corps will not pay for herbal or nonprescribed medications, such as St. John's wort, glucosamine, selenium, or antioxidant supplements.
You are encouraged to bring copies of medical prescriptions signed by your physician. This is not a requirement, but they might come in handy if you are questioned in transit about carrying a three-month supply of prescription drugs.
If you wear eyeglasses, bring two pairs with you—a pair and a spare. If a pair breaks, the Peace Corps will replace it, using the information your doctor in the United States provided on the eyeglasses form during your examination. We discourage you from using contact lenses during your Peace Corps service to reduce your risk of developing a serious infection or other eye disease. Most Peace Corps countries do not have appropriate water and sanitation to support eye care with the use of contact lenses. The Peace Corps will not supply or replace contact lenses or associated solutions unless an ophthalmologist has recommended their use for a specific medical condition and the Peace Corps' Office of Medical Services has given approval.
If you are eligible for Medicare, are over 50 years of age, or have a health condition that may restrict your future participation in health-care plans, you may wish to consult an insurance specialist about unique coverage needs before your departure. The Peace Corps will provide all necessary health care from the time you leave for your pre-departure orientation until you complete your service. When you finish, you will be entitled to the post-service health-care benefits described in the Peace Corps Volunteer Handbook. You may wish to consider keeping an existing health plan in effect during your service if you think age or preexisting conditions might prevent you from reenrolling in your current plan when you return home.
Safety and Security—Our Partnership
Serving as a Volunteer overseas entails certain safety and security risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment, a limited understanding of the local language and culture, and the perception of being a wealthy American are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk. Petty thefts and burglaries are not uncommon. Incidents of physical and sexual assault do occur, although almost all Volunteers complete their two years of service without serious personal safety problems. In addition, more than 83 percent of Volunteers surveyed say they would join the Peace Corps again.
The Peace Corps approaches safety and security as a partnership with you. This Welcome Book contains sections on: Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle; Peace Corps Training; and Your Health Care and Safety. All of these sections include important safety information.
The Peace Corps makes every effort to give Volunteers the tools they need to function in the safest and most secure way possible, because working to maximize the safety and security of Volunteers is our highest priority. Not only do we provide you with training and tools to prepare for the unexpected, but we teach you to identify and manage the risks you may encounter.
Factors that Contribute to Volunteer Risk
There are several factors that can heighten a Volunteer's risk, many of which are in the Volunteer's control. Based on information gathered from incident reports worldwide in 2003, the following factors stand out as risk characteristics for assaults. Assaults consist of personal crimes committed against Volunteers, and do not include property crimes (such as vandalism or theft).
- Location: Most crimes occurred when Volunteers were in public areas (e.g., street, park, beach, public buildings). Specifically, 47 percent of assaults took place when Volunteers were away from their sites.
- Time of day: Assaults usually took place on the weekend during the late evening between 10:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.— most often occurring around 1:00 a.m.
- Absence of others: More than 75 percent of crime incidents occurred when a Volunteer was unaccompanied.
- Relationship to assailant: In most assaults, the Volunteer did not know the assailant.
- Consumption of alcohol: Almost a third of all assaults involved alcohol consumption by Volunteers and/or assailants.
Summary Strategies to Reduce Risk
Before and during service, your training will address these areas of concern so that you can reduce the risks you face.
For example, here are some strategies Volunteers employ:
Strategies to reduce the risk/impact of theft:
- Know the environment and choose safe routes/times for travel
- Avoid high-crime areas per Peace Corps guidance
- Know the vocabulary to get help in an emergency
- Carry valuables in different pockets/places
- Carry a "dummy" wallet as a decoy Strategies to reduce the risk/impact of burglary:
- Live with a local family or on a family compound
- Put strong locks on doors and keep valuables in a lock box or trunk
- Leave irreplaceable objects at home in the U.S.
- Follow Peace Corps guidelines on maintaining home security Strategies to reduce the risk/impact of assault:
- Make local friends
- Make sure your appearance is respectful of local customs; don't draw negative attention to yourself by wearing inappropriate clothing
- Get to know local officials, police, and neighbors
- Travel with someone whenever possible
- Avoid known high crime areas
- Limit alcohol consumption
Support from Staff
In March 2003, the Peace Corps created the Office of Safety and Security with its mission to "foster improved communication, coordination, oversight, and accountability of all Peace Corps' safety and security efforts." The new office is led by an Associate Director for Safety and Security who reports to the Peace Corps Director and includes the following divisions: Volunteer Safety and Overseas Security;
Information and Personnel Security; and Emergency Preparedness, Plans, Training and Exercise. The safety and security team also tracks crime statistics, identifies trends in criminal activity, and highlights potential safety risks to Volunteers.
The major responsibilities of the Volunteer Safety and Overseas Security Division are to coordinate the office's overseas operations and direct the Peace Corps' safety and security officers who are located in various regions around the world that have Peace Corps programs. The safety and security officers conduct security assessments; review safety trainings; train trainers and managers; train Volunteer safety wardens, local guards, and staff; develop security incident response procedures; and provide crisis management support.
If a trainee or Volunteer is the victim of a safety incident, Peace Corps staff is prepared to provide support. All Peace Corps posts have procedures in place to respond to incidents of crime committed against Volunteers. The first priority for all posts in the aftermath of an incident is to ensure that the Volunteer is safe and receiving medical treatment as needed. After assuring the safety of the Volunteer, Peace Corps staff provides support by reassessing the Volunteer's work site and housing arrangements and making any adjustments, as needed. In some cases, the nature of the incident may necessitate a site or housing transfer. Peace Corps staff will also assist Volunteers with preserving their rights to pursue legal sanctions against the perpetrators of the crime. It is very important that Volunteers report incidents as they occur, not only to protect their peer Volunteers, but also to preserve the future right to prosecute. Should Volunteers decide later in the process that they want to proceed with the prosecution of their assailant, this option may no longer exist if the evidence of the event has not been preserved at the time of the incident.
The country-specific data chart below shows the incidence rates and the average number of incidents of the major types of safety incidents reported by Peace Corps Volunteers/trainees in The Gambia as compared to all other Africa region programs as a whole, from 1999-2003. It is presented to you in a somewhat technical manner for statistical accuracy.
To fully appreciate the collected data below, an explanation of the graph is provided as follows:
The incidence rate for each type of crime is the number of crime events relative to the Volunteer/trainee population. It is expressed on the chart as a ratio of crime to Volunteer and trainee years (or V/T-Years, which is a measure of 12 full months of V/T service) to allow for a statistically valid way to compare crime data across countries. An "incident" is a specific offense, per Peace Corps' classification of offenses, and may involve one or more Volunteer/trainee victims. For example, if two Volunteers are robbed at the same time and place, this is classified as one robbery incident.
The chart is separated into the eight most commonly occurring assault types. These include vandalism (malicious defacement or damage of property); theft (taking without force or illegal entry); burglary (forcible entry of a residence); robbery (taking something by force); minor physical assault (attacking without a weapon with minor injuries); minor sexual assault (fondling, groping, etc.); aggravated assault (attacking with a weapon, and/or without a weapon when serious injury results); and rape (sexual intercourse without consent).
When anticipating Peace Corps Volunteer service, you should review all of the safety and security information provided to you, including the strategies to reduce risk. Throughout your training and Volunteer service, you will be expected to successfully complete all training competencies in a variety of areas including safety and security. Once in-country, use the tools and information shared with you to remain as safe and secure as possible.
Security Issues in The Gambia
When it comes to your safety and security in the Peace Corps, you have to be willing to adapt your behavior and lifestyle to minimize the potential for being a target of crime. While The Gambia is considered one of the safest countries in West Africa, Volunteers have experienced petty theft, pickpocketing, and home break-ins. You can reduce your risk by avoiding situations that make you feel uncomfortable and by taking precautions. Crime at the village or town level is less frequent than in the large cities; people know each other and generally will not steal from their neighbors. Tourist attractions, especially in large towns, are favorite work sites for pickpockets. The following are safety concerns in The Gambia of which you should be aware.
Perhaps the single greatest risk to your safety in The Gambia is public transportation. While public buses, taxis, and private vehicles are generally safe, many accidents occur in "bush taxis." Bush taxis are the main mode of transport for Gambians and may be the only type of local transportation available to and from your community. Because of bad roads, poor auto maintenance, and overloading, bush taxis are prone to breakdowns. During the rainy season, road conditions deteriorate and accidents are even more frequent.
Pickpocketing and bag snatching most frequently occur in congested areas such as marketplaces, bus terminals, ferry crossings, and while traveling on public transportation. Being aware of your surroundings and projecting a confident attitude can reduce your chances of becoming a victim of petty theft. Volunteers are safest in their host communities, where people know them and value their contributions, but house break-ins sometimes occur when Volunteers are away from their residence. Remember to always lock your doors and windows, even if you are leaving for just a short time.
Male colleagues, supervisors, and acquaintances may occasionally make inappropriate advances toward female Volunteers, but once the Volunteers become well-known in their communities, such harassment usually ends. Strategies to deal with this issue will be discussed during training, and command of one or more local languages will help you manage potential problems.
Cases of physical and sexual assault are rare, and are often associated with cross-cultural differences regarding intimate relationships. The five most common risk factors in assaults are visiting the capital, going out on the weekend, being out at night, walking alone, and being intoxicated. (Although alcohol is readily available in urban areas, drinking in your community or public drunkenness anywhere is inappropriate and socially unacceptable.) Volunteers who exhibit responsible personal behavior can minimize their risk. Volunteers are urged to report all assaults and threats of assault to the Peace Corps medical officer or security officer so that staff can respond with appropriate support.
The ongoing civil war in the Casamance region of southern Senegal (which began in the early 1980s) has not directly affected Volunteers serving in The Gambia. Although the region is off-limits to Volunteers, heightened awareness near the southwestern Gambia-Senegal border is warranted.
In the coastal areas, where tourists congregate, Volunteers are often mistaken for Europeans on vacation, and this assumption can bring with it preconceived notions about personal wealth or sexual mores. Volunteers, as well as tourists and other expatriates, are often referred to as toubab, which is not a derogatory term but merely means "stranger," "outsider," or, sometimes, "white person." Young men, referred to as "bumsters," may offer to help you or "be your friend." These men are usually harmless, but they are annoying and can sometimes be aggressive. Once again, command of the local language, visiting the beach in a group, and being aware of your environment are key in decreasing your risk.
Any nonmedical issues involving personal security, such as those related to housing and transportation, should be directed to the security officer.
Staying Safe: Don't Be a Target for Crime
You must be prepared to take on a large responsibility for your own safety. Only you can make yourself less of a target, ensure that your house is secure, and develop relations in your community that will make you an unlikely victim of crime. In coming to The Gambia, do what you would do if you moved to a large city in the United States: Be cautious, check things out, ask questions, learn about your neighborhood, know where the more risky locations are, use common sense, and be aware. You can reduce your vulnerability to crime by integrating into your community, learning the local language, acting responsibly, and abiding by Peace Corps policies and procedures. Serving safely and effectively in The Gambia may require you to accept some restrictions on your current lifestyle.
Volunteers attract a lot of attention in large cities and at their sites, but receive far more negative attention in highly populated centers, where they are anonymous, than in smaller towns, where "family," friends, and colleagues look out for them. While whistles and exclamations are fairly common on the street, this behavior can be reduced if you dress conservatively, avoid eye contact, and do not respond to unwanted attention. Do not keep your money in outside pockets of backpacks, in coat pockets, or in fanny packs. You should always walk with a companion at night.
Preparing for the Unexpected: Safety Training and Volunteer
Support in The Gambia
During pre-service training, you will be briefed on safety and security measures that should be taken while living and traveling in The Gambia. The Peace Corps' safety program is a five-pronged plan to help you stay safe during your two-year service and includes the following: information sharing, Volunteer training, site selection criteria, a detailed emergency action plan, and protocols for addressing safety and security incidents. The Gambia's in-country safety program is outlined below.
The Peace Corps/The Gambia office will keep Volunteers informed of any issues that may impact Volunteer safety through information sharing. Regular updates will be provided in Volunteer newsletters and in memorandums from the country director. In the event of a critical situation or emergency, Volunteers will be contacted through the emergency communication network.
Volunteer training will include sessions to prepare you for specific safety and security issues in The Gambia. This training will prepare you to adopt a culturally appropriate lifestyle and exercise judgment that promotes safety and reduces risk in your home, at work, and while traveling. Safety training is offered throughout your two-year service and is integrated into the language, cross-cultural, health, and other components of training.
Site selection criteria are used to determine safe housing for Volunteers before their arrival. The Peace Corps staff works closely with host communities and counterpart agencies to help prepare them for a Volunteer's arrival and to establish expectations of their respective roles in supporting the Volunteer. Each site is inspected before the Volunteer's arrival to ensure placement in appropriate, safe, and secure housing and work sites. Site selection is based in part on any relevant site history; access to medical, banking, postal, and other essential services; availability of communications, transportation, and markets; different housing options and living arrangements; and other Volunteer support needs.
You will also learn about Peace Corps/The Gambia's detailed emergency action plan, which is implemented in the event of civil or political unrest or a natural disaster. When you arrive at your site, you will complete and submit a site locator form with your address, contact information, and a map to your house. If there is a security threat, Volunteers in The Gambia will gather at predetermined locations until the situation resolves itself or the Peace Corps decides to evacuate.
Finally, in order to be fully responsive to the needs of Volunteers, it is imperative that Volunteers immediately report any security incident to the Peace Corps medical officer or security officer. The Peace Corps has established protocols for addressing safety and security incidents in a timely and appropriate manner, and it collects and evaluates safety and security data to track trends and develop strategies to minimize risks to future Volunteers.

Calcium combined with vitamin D is known to benefit bones, and it's among the
supplements worth considering, according to Consumer Reports ShopSmart. Other
beneficial supplements include fish oil, with omega-3 fatty acids, and folic acid, for
women who are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant.
But ShopSmart says there are other vitamins and supplements that anyone who's
healthy should skip, including vitamin A and even multivitamins. Research shows that
multivitamins don't benefit most people's health. They don't, for example, decrease the
risk of heart disease or cancer.
Another vitamin warning: Don't take more than your doctor says you need. Megadoses
can be dangerous. Too much vitamin E has been linked to a small but increased risk
of lung cancer over time. And very high doses of vitamin D could damage kidneys.
ShopSmart says that it's easier than you think to take too much. Pay attention to the
dosage of each vitamin or supplement that you take, and go over the information with
your doctor. And don't forget to factor in vitamin-enriched food and drinks.
Also, don't substitute supplements for the real thing. Centrum has a new ProNutrients
Fruit & Veggie supplement. But on the back it says it's "not intended to replace your
daily intake of fruit and vegetables."
ShopSmart has another caution about supplements: Combining them with prescription
drugs can be dangerous. For example, there's evidence that vitamin C reduces the
power of many chemotherapy drugs. And St. John's wort can interfere with some birth
control. It's always a good idea to talk to your doctor about any vitamins or supplements
you're taking.

January 12, 2016Not a Happy Juicer
" I still have not contacted manufacturer just yet, I purchased this juicer 12/24/2015, and all i ran through t was carrots, once a day... yesterday the wheel refused to moved just made a grinding noise,. i realigned wheel and housing but still the same..I had done my homework & was happy with this juicer til last night.... now im pissed & to top it off i look under it around it and NO serial or Model number so I took a picture.."
May 26, 2015Simple Juicer
"I am the type of person that likes things fast, simple, and that get the job done. This is exactly what this juicer does. I wake in the morning before my run, it takes me less than 15 minutes from start to clean-up to be out the door and energized for my run. I love the quality and speed of this juicer and the price was great too! Very happy with this purchase!"
March 20, 2014Great Juicer
"This is my first juicer. I did a lot of research on them before buying this and I am so pleased with the performance and they support Breville provides. Being new to juicing, I naturally had questions to ask and they have been so much help to me. The manual that comes with the machine is very good, but there are always questions. I have gotten into the habit of emptying the pulp and re-running it back through just to make sure I have gotten the maximum amount of juice from my fruits/veggies. Leafy veggies are served best by doing this, especially kale. I just use tongs and drop the pulp back through the chute and extract any remaining juice. It's not a problem for me. I have no complaints and each day we try a new juice, we are compiling a book of our favorites. I wish I had gotten into juicing earlier as we are all feeling so much better. As far as leakage goes, periodically there may be a little, but mostly on high speed and it's not enough to worry about. It's so easy to clean and I do clean it immediately after use. I give the basket a good scrub with the brush that is provided and it comes clean. I have not put any parts in the dishwasher even though it is allowed because I want my juicer ready for service any time I want to use it. I would highly recommend this juicer to anyone."
February 9, 2014Quiet, Efficient & Amazing!
"Juicer arrived this week. Only 5minutes out of the box and it was rinsed, assembled & ready for use. I've already made 4 batches of various fruit/veggie juices. I find the 2 speeds helpful & necessary. It is so quiet that I don't even disturb the sleeping family.
Though I was tempted to pickup an inferior cheaper juicer, after reading many reviews & then using this myself I am glad I held out for the best."
February 5, 2014All around fantastic machine
"I've had this juicer now for over 2 years. Like many I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and was inspired to do something about my own health by trying juicing. I purchased this juicer believing that it was a good compromise of features, quality, and price and so far I have not been disappointed.
This juicer is best at hard fruits and vegetables (carrots, beets, apples, pears etc...) but does fine with other, softer foods as well. Over the past 2 years I have juiced just about everything in this machine and have yet to find a fruit or veggie that produces badly (except banana, you just can't juice a banana). The trick is that quantity is critical. When juicing leafy greens a single leaf is not likely to produce much juice if at all, the blades simply spin too quickly and the food is shredded and immediately ejected to the pulp container. The most productive method is to pack the chute with leafy greens or small, soft fruits (berries and grapes) and use the ram to steadily push the food into the blades. Instead of trying to juice a few spinach leaves juice a handful at a time. Even with grapes, berries, kiwis I have found it best to put in enough to at least cover the chute area. Usually with smaller fruits that have to be loaded in by handfuls I will put the fruit in the chute, place bit of pressure with the ram, and THEN turn on the machine.
I like that this machine has 2 different speeds but, in reality, I have not found that feature useful. Many times I've tried juicing softer foods (cucumber, citrus fruits, tomato, melon etc...) using the slow speed but it has never been any more efficient than the high speed. So I stick with the high speed setting and all is well.
I've had the pleasure of using only one other juicer, a high end masticating unit. At the time I was considering switching to a masticating juicer for the better juice extraction. What I didn't realize was the speed difference was not 50% slower, the masticating juicer was 500% slower if not more. When I'm juicing half a gallon in the morning I don't have 2 hours to spend waiting for my juice, I need to make it quickly. Today, a year later, I'm still using my Juice Fountain Plus with no intention of moving away until it's dead. This is a well built unit that has not given me a single issue in over 2 years of use. I don't always juice daily but when I do it's churning out at least 3/4 of a gallon a day (3 32oz juice meal replacements) for up to a couple months. Not only is this a great starter juicer, it's just a plain fantastic machine.
With all the praise I still gave this juicer a 4 star rating for a few reasons. 1, I do think there could be better juice extraction. Soft foods do come out pretty wet (hence the thought about switching to a masticating unit). 2, often times I get some leaking from under the basket. Since I clean the juicer after every use I just include this in my cleaning regimen but I don't feel that it should be necessary. 3, there really is a trick to getting the most out of some foods and it's not the recommended method from the company.
This may not be the end-all of juicers but I'm hard pressed to find another one worth buying to replace this one. I've learned the nuances of the juicer and embrace the intricacies of using it to get the most out of whatever I decide to juice. If mine happens to die tomorrow I would not hesitate to buy another."
November 6, 2013Awesome Value!
"We've been juicing for a little over a year now. Got into it for my wife's health at the recommendation of nutrition experts who helped her sister. Our first juicer was the Breville Compact (recommended by the juicing/nutrition experts) because we heard it was more reliable than the Lack LaLanne or other brands and it was a great value. Used it for over a year and loved it. Juiced gallons of kale, celery, ginger and other fruits every week. Made fresh apple juice and pear grenitas - just had a wonderful time.
Eventually our blade wore out from all the hard use and we decided to upgrade to a juicer with a side bin for pulp that would be easier to clean. Bought a shiny new Jack LaLanne as a "step-up" from our entry-level Breville. Used it once then returned it the very next day and bought the Breville Juice Fountain instead.
The Jack LaLanne is WAY under-powered. It took over an hour to juice what we used to do in 15 minutes. The blades were small compared to even our entry level Breville and the net result was that the kale would clog the blades and then I'd end up having to stop the machine and clean the blades to keep going. Apples, lemons and celery constantly got clogged in the chute because the hole didn't cover the entire blade. It was a nightmare.
The Juice Fountain works great! People who say they have issues with kale apparently don't realize this machine has two speeds. Read the instructions and keep it clean. Bought a set of back-up blades because we intent to use this thing hard for years to come. At $150, this machine is a steal! Unless you need a digital display to impress your friends, 50 speeds to satisfy some OCD, or military-grade casing for use on a nuclear submarine, this is the last juicer your'e ever going to buy...and it should have been our first.
August 26, 2013Superior performance!
"I've had this juicer for about a year and a half now and it has seen regular use. This is a well crafted machine that can stand up to frequent or daily use. I bought it directly from the Breville website. It shipped right to my door, no hassle. The first couple of uses still had a bit of a "new" scent to it, but that goes away after a few washes. Speaking of washing, I use regular dish soap ans a stiff bristled brush most days with an occasional run through the dishwasher on the bottom rack and it has held up just fine.
Unlike other juicers, this model doesn't waggle around the counter top when turned on. All the parts still fit together nicely so there is little or no juice spray.
This is a great, durable juicer made for years of service. Highly recommended."
July 31, 2013All I hoped for and more....
"After watching the documentary Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead
( http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/ ), I sought out the Breville company (Australian)... http://www.brevilleusa.com/ ..... who is the featured juicer in the film.
I was interested in the Juice Fountain Plus.... http://www.brevilleusa.com/the-juice-fountain-plus-je98xl.html
As fortune would have it, there was a big sale on Amazon for brand new juicers. The machines seem to be around the same price regardless of the seller or different sites. I lucked into a half price sale.
The juicer arrived just as advertised. The cleanup brush was missing but after a very friendly call to Breville, they sent me one quickly. I thought it would be more simple to phone the company rather than go through Amazon.
Although I haven't yet begun the full-on reboot juicing promoted in the film, I have used it quite a bit.
The machine is tremendous.
Very well built, extremely efficient, cleans in a snap and produces great juices of whatever one sends down the amply wide chute. No need to cut the veggies/fruit into small pieces.
It really does send the debris out of the machine into the companion container...or as I refer to it, my 1st. step of composting.
Later I purchased the corn starch container liners. You can find these here.... http://www.brevilleusa.com/clean-green.html Since they are compostable bags, when it gets full I just lift out and carry it out to my compost bin....couldn't be easier.
I am still experimenting with all the various combinations of fruits and veggies. There is a somewhat limited recipe book included with the juicer. I bought the recipe book offered on the Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead web site...although there are thousands of recipes online.
Even with limited use so far, I am losing weight and feeling more energetic. Will soon start the complete 30 reboot....all thanks to the ease and efficiency of the Juice Fountain Plus.
I am so glad I bought this juicer. The rubber feet keeps the machine firmly in place on the counter.
The Breville company makes a high quality product.
May 15, 2013A little disappointed
"After reading all the reviews, I was expecting FASTASTIC. I guess there is a learning curve to be considered. I'm almost ready to send it back, but it may just be my fault, so will give it one more try. Learned quickly that if you put pieces of firm fruit in without covering the chute instantly, you get pieces on the ceiling. I tried juicing kale and other leafy veggies, and found that they were put directly in the pulp chute without touching the blades... all wasted. Dr. Oz says to put flax seeds in the juicer. Well, that is also a waste. Not one seed hit the blades. The blueberries, blackberries and other softer veggies worked ok. A little leakage around the filter bowl was noted, but not bad. What I most object to in how wet the pulp was. I put it back through again, after cleaning the filter, and got two more cups of juice. I think the filter just needs to be cleaned frequently during the procedure. It gets quite clogged quickly. I'm wondering if chopping and steaming the kale before trying to juice it would help extract some juice???? I spent an hour making enough juice for three days, cleaning the filter frequently. It is very good and will stay fresh in the frig. I hope I will find the perfect process to use, but am saving the box just in case."
April 30, 2013Undecided
"I have had the Breville for about a week now. That was after anxiously waiting a month for delivery and we had to drive an hour and a half to pick it up when it finally came in. Thus far, I am very disappointed with it.
I have been juicing for a over a month now with a coworker. We juice in the morning and for lunch and have been using her Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. We juice all types of fruits and vegetables with it including leafy greens and berries without any problems and get a good amount of juice from everything including berries. Was so excited when I brought home the Breville and turned it on. What power!! I was going to go into brag at work about how much better the Breville was. Yep, not so. Hard items like apples and carrots seem fine. However, the pulp is very, very wet. Berries and leafy greens...forget it. Get a teaspoon (if lucky) of juice before everything is shot into the pulp container. Almost has too much power. I have done so much research and read all the reviews and am not seeing what a great juicer it is. Not quite ready to give up on it yet for everything I've put into it but at this point I really wish I had just gone with the Jack LaLanne."

Everything you love about the Animation Sensation, plus now you can have 2 separate programs, up to 6 minutes of total program time, and REMOTE ACTIVATION!
Not just a hanky trick, it's an animation system for the modern magician. Can be used to animate a Jumbo card, snake puppet or silks. Comes with custom case, silks, animation rods, and instructional video.
The instructional video also includes instructions for the Ultimate Dancing Hank and the Impossible Hank.
The Animation Sensation 3.0 is a show in itself, but is twice as effective when combined with the Ultimate Dancing Hank or the Impossible Hank! Animation Sensation 3.0 comes with the ability to program up to 6 minutes of total program time. Also, you can have 2 separate programs! And all of the action can now be remotely started! This means you don't have to be near the Animation Sensation 3.0 to begin your program!
Here are some common questions and answers about the Animation Sensation 3.0
Is the Animation Sensation hard to program?
No, the Animation Sensation was designed to be very user friendly. If you can press a button and turn a knob, you can program it. You can have 2 separate programs with a total of 6 minutes of programming time.

Lets have fun.

Go easy bro.
Let's Go!
*I quickly weave 4 handseals and create 4 lightning pillars that surround you.These pillars shoot out lightning boltls that bind you into place.
(Raiton: Shichu Shibari) – Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After the user performs the Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird → Hare hand seals they then summon Four Giant Pillars surrounding the enemy target and then the user shoots out bolts of lightning, binding the target in place and possibly doing damage to them.
After I bind you into place,I channel raiton chakra into both my hands then cross them together to form a X shape electrical attack.I then thrust my hands towards you creating a X shaped attack heading toward you.
1.Lightening Element: Double Lightening Sabers Cut (Raiton:Futae Raiton Gontuo Kire)
Rank: B
Chakra Cost:20
Damage Points:40 ( +10 at short range )
Description: by letting your lightning chakra through your hands , and making an lightening saber each one of them you can fuse it together in one X like slash directed at your opponent , or if you hit it directly to your opponent it will be more effective.
After I do these two moves,I soften the earth beneath me and tunnel down into the earth.After I tunnel into the earth I return the earths surface back to normal.
(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. While underground one can sense what is happening on the surface and use the information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Once can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy cant reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth.
Izumo enters the battle field with a katana strapped to his waist.
Mikoto... what are you doing here?
As Izumo see's the pillars emerge, he draws his sword and channels his wind chakra into it. He releases the chakra creating a vortex of wind that surrounds his body, negating the lightning. As your second lightning jutus travels towards Izumo, he simply performs the jutsu twice negating the lightning once again.
X2 Wind Release: Peacock Whirlwind Formation
Fūton: Kujaku Senpūjin) - Wind Release: Peacock Whirlwind Formation
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique utilizes wind chakra into the users sword and then they release a vortex of wind that surrounds the users body and can push away materials covering the users body.
As Izumo see's you begin to tunnel into the ground, he simply smirks and performs the handseals boar-tiger and creates a large swamp that's deep enough to sink a large summon. This leads to your death.
Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld
Doton: Yomi Numa) - Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform Boar → Tiger and then by changing the surface of an object beneath an enemy into mud and creating a non flammable swamp, the user can sink his enemy into the mud. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is extremely effective against a great number of enemies or when having to face gigantic creatures.

Comments: Excellent flat Straight and narrow with a straight toebox: allows for people without deformed big toes to run. No obstructions inside to cause blistering. Well lined interior to allow for sockless running. For straight road racing the ultra slippy laces are a pain. They need much over-tying to stop them coming undone. If you are a triathlete you would replace them with elastic ones. The tongue is easy to grip in T2. Sadly replaced by the awful SP4, so get some SP3s whilst we wait for Asics to see sense.
From: Eric L, New York
Comments: I am a racewalker. These are my favorite shoes for races. They are light and have good traction. The fit is great. I highly recommend these shoes for intervals and races. I race in the 1500, 3000 and 5000 events. It will be hard to find a better shoe for racewalking in races than this shoe.
From: Alfred Racewalker, Birmingham, Alabama
Comments: I bought these to try out for my track workouts (usually about 6-7 miles total running, 4-5 on a soft track). I was using Asics Cumulus and wanted something I could feel speedier in. I definitely love them for speedwork, and haven't noticed any bad effects of reduced cushioning, so someday I might try them for a road race. They are wide in the front, wider than the Cumulus, but that works great for me. I sized as suggested for women's, and use the laces to keep the ankles snug.
From: Sara, Albany, California, USA
Comments: Great road flats. Very lightweight but still stable. Only complaint is the toe area (little roomy). Laces come undone quite often but that's an easy fix. Overall nice buy.
From: Ryan, Clinton, NY, US
Comments: Love these shoes so much I bought two pair. My first set of minimalist shoes. I use them for everyday running. Tried the vibrams in store, but just couldnt fit my toes right. Not to mention almost twice as much as these. Thanks to asics and Running Wearhouse for great products and service!
From: Ben, Canton, OH
Comments: These are the lightest racing flats I've ever owned, and they're comfortable and breathable with plenty of room in the toe box. Sole is pretty solid, too, which translates to minimal loss of energy with every stride. Don't like the laces. They're thin and analogous to ribbons. Durability is average for a flat. If you plan to train in these shoes they won't last long. Oh, and thank you Asics for the conservative design. Not everyone wants a orange, pink, or lime green racing flat. Overall, these are really light, great shoes for races and speed work in my opinion. Don't be afraid to try them.
From: Brad, Normal, IL, USA
Comments: Great shoe. I'm a junior track and XC runner and I've used this for tempo's up to 5 miles, all my speed work, and at least 3 xc races. It's held up really well. I usually like a more cushy feel but the firmness is fine given how ridiculously light the shoe is. Overall, great buy! I'd definitely recommend this shoe.
From: Paul, Massachusetts, US
Comments: These shoes are great I use them for almost all my workouts. These are my favorite shoes i have used them in track for the last two years and cross country this year and they have helped me alot i recomend a different pair to train in because they wear farily easily but they are more than perfect for races. Im 15 and I run varsity track and cross country (went to state 8th and 9th grade years) for my school running sub 5 minute miles. These shoes are amazing dont hesitate to get a pair.
From: Keaton, Grants, NM, U.S.
Comments: I really love these shoes, perfect for anything less than a marathon. I would wear them to train in, but after 45 miles they are already starting to show wear. Train in A4's (which last forever) and race in these.
From: Adam, College Station, TX, USA
Comments: If you are looking for a light shoe to shine on race day then this is the shoe. I used this shoe for the Long Beach Marathon and got a new PR
easily. Asics come out with yet another winner when it comes to running shoes. After going with such a light shoe I wonder why I ever raced with the Kayanos. Don't get me wrong the Kayanos have great cushioning and support but if your looking for speed then this is the shoe to get.
From: Javier Pita, El Monte, CA
Comments: The best 5k race shoe you will ever wear! Insanely light, fits like a glove (at least for me). This is a a PR shoe, it is not built for support, it is soley for speed; get your fast miles in and then get off!
From: Zach, Tulsa, OK, USA
Comments: Although the Piranhas were incredibly light, I found that they fit very loose. I would not be able to wear a smaller size because my foot spans the full length of the shoe, but the upper is so thin that my foot can move around quite a bit. The upper itself feels like plastic and it is very rough. I had planned on wearing these barefoot, but the Exane lining only wraps the collar, so there are a number of scratchy seams. I am use to wearing Nike Free 5.0 V4s, so the piranha also felt really stiff. Hopefully they will break in a bit which could give the outsole some more flex and flatten out the stitching for barefoot wear.
From: David, Wayland, MA, USA
Comments: this shoe provides great support and is very comfortable. allowed me to experience a light, superlative running game. i recommend this shoe to anyone who would like support and to step up their running game.
From: anonymous, san diego, california, us
Comments: I am a converted forefoot/midfoot striker and have run in a number of minimalist type shoes. For me, they seem to strike a good balance between a pair of Vibram KSO's and a normal Light weight trainer. They were advertised as a 4mm heel to toe drop, however they feel as though there is little to no drop at all. When I tryed the Mizuno Wave Universe, there was a noticable heel to toe difference, but not with the Piranha's.
From: KJR, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Comments: I'm a 5'6" 120lb Asian dude with flat feet. Grown up walking around the house in bare feet or moccasins.
Was finding that the transition from my typical footwear of fairly flat Creative Recreation Cesarios, Vans slip-ons, Havaiana flip-flops, Sidi cycling shoes & Nike soccer cleats to a supportive Asics Kayano 16 running shoe was causing me more foot pain & creating a weird twinge in my left knee. Now since wearing two different shoes on each foot wasn't a logical option I decided to got the route of the racing flat theory. Figured that by doing so I would allow my foot to naturally do what it want as well build foot strength over the long term and thus naturally alleviate the knee and foot pain. Also figured that being of a lithe build that it would be a less difficult transition than for say a bigger guy. I typically mix 5K runs with 10K road cycling as my daily cardio routine so I wasn't too worried about the pounding on my joints.
- roomy toe box = no pressure on forefoot = no outside foot or knee pain
- low to ground = more control & feedback
- tongue stays put, doesn't budge
- heel collar matterial is so comfortable. No Achilles rub or blisters.
- like a feather compared to the Kayano
- From a dude's perspective the graphics of SP3 version are way better than SP2 or SP1 versions
- tape-style flat laces are too slippery & come undone even when double knotted. Might consider switching to a conventional lace as the weight increase would be minimal.
- Overall durability is probably limited but I figure that for my build it will last at least a season and that end of season clearances & sales on such a should would more than make up for it once multiple pairs are acquired.
- a darker or colored sole version would be nice
This has proved to be a great shoe for a person with flat feet like me who wanted to buck the traditional theory that a support or motion control shoe would be better for me. I listened to my body and made the switch. The pain that the Kayano 16s were giving me has gone away so it was a gamble that paid off. Can't wait for next year's update.

Dear Editor
A decade ago US military forces were in the Middle East and we as a people were exposed to and disgusted by the treatment of Middle Eastern women. Now we are standing quietly by as states by bills to undermine and devalue the women of this country.
Recently Texas passed a voter ID law that was focused on eliminating women voters. By law women must use their maiden name as a middle name on driver's licenses but that law did not apply to other documents. Now all documents must match exactly. Having Mrs. on one document and not the other will disqualify a vote. This is just Texas, if you add North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Ohio, we begin to have a pattern.
Shortly after Texas passed its law; Wisconsin passed its law requiring women to carry Rape insurance. My first reaction was that I misunderstood but I didn't. It is rape insurance.
How can a country go backward so fast? There are a few very dedicated people pushing us backward while the majority sit quietly on the sideline. The problem is that the majority is now on the defensive and sitting quietly on the sideline is stealing the future of our daughters and granddaughters.
How do we save the future of our young women?
With votes! Volunteer. Start by getting involved. Make sure that your own right to vote is secure. Help parents and grandparents secure the proper IDs to vote. Then expand your efforts to anyone that may need help getting registered.
Volunteer to fill a form, to transport a neighbor and if possible to defer some of the cost, but whatever you do "Get off of the sideline"
