Appalachian Studies
国产偷拍视频The minor in Appalachian Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to introduce students to the study of the Appalachian region through engagement with its history, people and places. The program focuses on the rich and diverse cultures of the region, the natural history and rich environmental resources in the region, the experiences of the Appalachian people, the varied depictions of the region in popular culture and literature and the many challenges facing the region.
The minor requires a core of nine credit hours plus nine credit hours of electives. Core courses examine Appalachia's culture, environment, economy and history, the unique role of the Appalachian Trail as a metaphor for the region and as a learning experience and challenge students to be engaged in service and community. Electives allow students to explore the region's literature, art, music, environmental issues, folklore, natural history and resources, religion and other topics. Field experiences are an integral part of the minor.
This program speaks to the history and tradition of Young Harris College as a source of education to Southern Appalachia. This minor is a valuable complement to any major at the College. It should be particularly useful to students majoring in art, biology, business and public policy, English, history, outdoor leadership and religious studies.

Have a balanced diet - include cereals, pulses, fruit and vegetables in good amounts. Limit fats and sugars.
Have a variety of foods.
I think I can speak for many people when I say I've tried every diet under the sun. I have even tried them multiple times. I had joined Weight Watchers so many times that I would drive to other cities so they wouldn't recognize me. I even lost a lot of weight on a very expensive program that required daily weigh-ins and a whopping 440 calories a day.
Sad, I know. Did any of them really work? Unfortunately no, they didn't, at least for me. Then one day I decided enough is enough. I was so focused on food and what I was allowed to eat next and I knew it was wrong.
So I decided to accept myself for who I am, and to simply try my best. I made no promises other than than to try to eat as healthy as I could, which included portion control. However I told myself if I wanted a sweet or if I was eating out, that I wasn't going to punish myself.
We have to maintain an balanced diet which involves every thing like vitamins, protein,carbohydrates and so on....but be specific while choosing your food items.
I agree with you!
Well dieting is not a good option to loose weight but i heard a term Eat more loose more and i was pretty impresses by the way they suggest weight loss. Weight gain is all because of unhealthy eating habits and eating in excess. If we eat all in the optimum quantity w e never need to face any difficulty. Well a new diet plan called Keto diet is very famous today in this we don't consume any carbohydrates and only take proteins and fats.

Ever since Apple introduced the App Store—and with it, the mobile app—in 2008, growth has been enormous. If the current growth rate holds, 25 billion apps will be downloaded in 2012.
With that growth, however, has come issues. There are now more than 650,000 apps in the App Store. Navigating that unwieldly maze has emerged as a major issue for developers and consumers alike.
In a new report from BI Intelligence, we analyse the current difficulty in navigating the App Store, how search is an increasingly important tool for finding apps, why app developers are desperate for new promotional strategies, and how Apple introducing search ads in the App Store could have huge benefits to developers, consumers, and Apple alike.
Access The Full Report By Signing Up For A Free Trial Today >>
Here's a quick breakdown of why paid search could work for the App Store:
- The "Top 25" App Store list is not the holy grail that its made out to be: Getting into the Top 25 is obviously huge for individual apps, but it is diff cult. At the same time, Nielsen found that 63% of consumers use search to find new apps in the App Store and, according to Flurry, apps outside of the top 100 will account for 68% of app revenue in 2012.
- All of which presents a familiar conundrum: App developers are desperate to promote their apps, but right now their options are limited. They can do paid campaigns on external networks or in-app advertising, but neither offers effective returns. In turn, better app discovery would clearly benefit app consumers.
- Apple needs to solve the problem: As we discussed in our mobile platforms report, developers market share is the key to the mobile platform wars and, as such, it is important to keep them happy. Apple bought app search platform Chomp in February in a likely effort to begin to rectify this situation and revamp app discovery and distribution in the store.
- Mobile paid app search could change everything: Search advertising offers the best solution for all parties. Developers get a dynamic promotional channel with a clear impact. Mobile app paid search would clearly drive conversions, and could increase engagement with apps. For Apple, App Store search ads would strengthen its fledgling iAd product, sharpen its reputation as the most developer-friendly platform, and prevent rivals from staking out a claim on its territory.
In full, the report:
- Details the current state of search and discovery in the App Store
- Explains how App Store advertising could work, and how it would benefit app developers and consumers alike
- analyses the potential payoff for Apple in the form of mobile advertising revenue and App Store dominance if they could successfully introduce such an option

The HTC Thunderbolt is the first 4G smart phone that doesn't have 4G in the name. Want to know why? Because the speeds speak for themselves. As the first 4G LTE phone for Verizon, this handset promises crazy-fast downloads (5 to 12 Mbps) and uploads (2 to 5 Mbps). We're talking the kind of performance that makes some home Internet connections look downright pokey. Even better, you can share this phone's broadband goodness with up to eight other devices, including laptops. With its 1-GHz processor, mammoth 4.3-inch display, and dual cameras, the Thunderbolt is a lot like the EVO 4G, but it costs 50 bucks more, at $249. So how much faster is this phone in the real world, and how long can you enjoy those thrilling speeds before you have to find an outlet?
While it has the same size display as the all-black EVO 4G, the Thunderbolt has a slicker, more modern look. The front of the handset is mostly black with a strip of gray up top, while the back has a two-tone gray color scheme (the battery cover is darker with a nice soft-touch finish). You still get a metal kickstand, but this time around it hides the speaker; it's also wider, and engraved with "with Google." HTC wisely got rid of the lame circles around the capacitive buttons beneath the screen and added an angular cutout beneath that strip to add a little flair. Overall, the design feels solid and looks great.
On the other hand, the Thunderbolt is even heftier than the already-heavy EVO 4G (6.2 vs. 6 ounces) and is slightly thicker (0.56 inches vs. 0.5 inches). By comparison, the Verizon iPhone 4 weights just 4.8 ounces. The Thunderbolt is also missing something the EVO has: an HDMI port, so you can't stream video and other content to your TV. The phone does support DLNA for wireless streaming.
The rest of the design is pretty straightforward. An easily accessible power button and headphone jack sit up top, the right side houses a volume rocker, and the microUSB port is on the left. The right side houses a narrow volume rocker. Around back is an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, and up front is a 1.3-MP camera for video chat (though Skype video calling is coming later).

Display and Audio
The Thunderbolt doesn't push the envelope in the sceen department, sticking with the same 800 x 480 resolution found on the 4.3-inch EVO 4G. Still, we found the picture to be bright and crisp, and easily legible outdoors on a sunny day.
We were impressed by the Thunderbolt's audio quality. When we streamed The Kooks on Pandora, the back-mounted speaker provided plenty of punch to fill a kitchen at three-quarter volume. And, thanks to the built-in kickstand, we could easily skip tracks without having to pick up the device.
Software and Interface
Click to enlarge
Running Android 2.2, the Thunderbolt leverages HTC's Sense software. Users get seven home screens to customize, as well as HTC widgets such as FriendStream for keeping tabs on your Facebook and Twitter buddies. As with all HTC Android phones, the Sense software lets you see all of the home screens with a pinch gesture. Sense also surfaces social-networking info right within the Contacts app, including a person's last Facebook update.
A Personalize button on the bottom right of the screen lets you choose among multiple wallpapers and widgets but also Scenes, which basically adds themes your phone like Sprint's ID packs. The Social option, for example, puts a Friend Stream widget front and center for quickly posting updates, while Work places your next appointment on the first screen, and your e-mail is just a swipe to the left.
Specs and Performance
These specs should sound familiar: 1-GHz Snapdragon processor and 768 MB of RAM. They're the same components you'll find inside the EVO 4G and the Inspire 4G, but at least Verizon Wireless includes more memory. You get 8GB internal memory and a whopping 32GB SD Card, so you should have plenty of room to store HD video, photos, music, and apps. (Just keep in mind that the card is located behind the battery.)
When we ran various benchmarks, the Thunderbolt delivered performance on a par with the similarly equipped Inspire 4G. In the CPU portion of the benchmark test, for example, the Thunderbolt scored 2,103. That's slightly lower than the Inspire 4G's 2,230, but the dual-core-powered Atrix 4G beats both of these phones (2,369). On the graphics benchmark An3DBench, the Thunderbolt notched 6,290, compared to 6,280 for the Inspire and 6,305 for the Atrix.

In everyday use, the Thunderbolt was responsive for the most part. However, we did notice some lag from time to time, especially with multiple apps open. We also encountered a few Force Close error messages. You'll want to download Advanced Task Killer to manage resources.
4G and Web Surfing
This is the reason you want this phone. The Thunderbolt is the first handset to tap into Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network, offering blazing speeds in 38 cities and counting. The Thunderbolt made quick work of popular websites, downloading the mobile versions of ESPN, NYTimes.com, and Yahoo in 3 to 5 seconds each. The full NYTimes site loaded in just 13 seconds, but it took an additional 23 seconds with Flash enabled. A high-quality HD trailer of the movie Limitless started playing in 3 seconds and never stuttered; when we tried streaming the same clip at low quality over 3G on the Verizon iPhone 4G, it took 9 seconds to start playing and skipped multiple times.
Click to enlarge
Click to enlargeHow much faster is the Thunderbolt than other 4G phones? In New York City, download rates ranged from a low of 3.9 Mbps all the way up to 17 Mbps. The average was 8.3 Mbps, which is nearly 4 times the average speed turned in by T-Mobile's fastest 4G phone, the Galaxy S 4G (2.4 Mbps). Sprint's fastest 4G phone, the EVO Shift 4G, maxed out at 9.4 Mbps, but generally offers speeds in the 3 to 4 Mbps range. So the Thunderbolt is about 3.5 times faster than anything on T-Mobile's network and at least twice as fast as Sprint's 4G phones.
The Thunderbolt's upload speeds were literally off the charts in the Speedtest.net app, so we don't trust those numbers. However, in hotspot mode the device delivered rates in the 4 to 7 Mbps range. That beats the pants off of Sprint's phones (typically about 1 Mbps up) and T-Mobile's (1.7 max). That means you'll be able to share photos and videos much faster on the Thunderbolt than you can on other networks.
We're also happy to report that hand-offs from 4G to 3G (and back again) didn't take very long. When emerging from the Lincoln Tunnel into New York City, the Thunderbolt switched from 3G to 4G in less than a minute.
Mobile Hotspot
One of the best things about the Thunderbolt is that its lightning-fast speeds aren't limited to the phone itself. You can share that 4G connection with up to eight devices, and through May 15th you get unlimited data for no extra charge. After that, you'll pay $20 per month for 2GB, which isn't a lot of data when you have this kind of performance.
When we connected a laptop to the Thunderbolt via the Mobile Hotspot app, we consistently saw download rates in the 14 Mbps range and uploads from 4 to 7 Mbps (as mentioned above). Complex sites such as CNN.com, ESPN.com, and NYTimes.com loaded in just 5 to 7 seconds. We even loaded Yahoo in 4 seconds--while streaming Hulu in another tab in Firefox. By the way, the video started playing almost instantly.
The Thunderbolt delivered even faster results when we connected via USB, reaching a high of 19.3 Mbps on the downlink. Going this route isn't a bad idea, since hotspot mode chews up a lot of power.

Apps, Music, and Video
Click to enlarge
While the Android Market certainly offers plenty of compelling options (more than 200,000 apps and counting), Verizon and HTC bundle a few fun and useful apps to get you started. On the video front there's the Blockbuster app for downloading movies but also Bitbop for downloading TV shows (and some flicks). We pulled down an episode of the Colbert Report in six minutes over Wi-Fi. The selection is sparse, but the video quality is top-notch. You'll pay $9.99 per month after the seven-day free trial.
Verizon also throws in Rock Band and Let's Golf 2. We found the latter more compelling, even if the load times were sluggish. We could make out fine details such as the grid pattern in the freshly cut fairway. Other highlights include a Kindle app for reading eBooks, QuickOffice, and TuneWiki (which displays lyrics for your music collection).
Click to enlarge
Camera and Camcorder
The Thunderbolt's 8-MP camera makes a good first impression. It started in less than three seconds, and it snapped a pretty detailed shot of a fruit stand. The lemons looked a little blown out, but overall this is pretty darn good. You can also add all sorts of PhotoBooth-style filters to the camera, from Distortion to Vintage. Indoor shots showed considerable grain, but you can always engage the flash.
Click to enlarge
To test out the 720p camcorder we shot footage of a fountain in Bryant Park. On our desktop the video looked sharp, and the Thunderbolt handled transitions from lighter to darker areas fairly well. However, we did notice a couple of skips in the stream.
While the Thunderbolt has a front-facing camera, there's not much you can do with it. Skype told us it is working with Verizon to integrate video calling, but couldn't give us a timetable. The front-facing camera also doesn't support video chat apps such as Oovoo and Qik (or at least not yet).
Voice Quality
You'll probably be too busy enjoying blistering speeds to make calls on the Thunderbolt, but when you get around to it you'll enjoy clear call quality on both ends of the line. When we called a landline from this phone, the other caller said it sounded as if we were calling from a landline. On our end we found that voices sounded more natural than on the iPhone 4.
Battery Life
There were rumors that the Thunderbolt might have short battery life, and we're sad to report that they were true. On our battery test, which involves surfing the most popular sites continuously on 40 percent brightness, this handset lasted only 3 hours and 56 minutes over its 4G LTE connection. That's one of the shortest runtimes we've seen from an Android phone and about 1.5 hours below the Android average. Over 3G the Thunderbolt's endurance was nearly 4:57. However, you can't turn 4G on and off as you can on the EVO 4G. (Our second test on the Thunderbolt was in another location where 4G LTE service isn't available.)
Click to enlarge
By comparison, the EVO 4G lasted about 5.5 hours using its Mobile WiMax 4G connection on the same test. The Thunderbolt does have a smaller battery than the EVO (1400 vs 1500 mAh), but its 4G LTE radio shares at least some of the blame. Over 3G, the Motorola Droid X lasted 7:42.
Pricing and Value
The Thunderbolt costs $250 on a two-year contract. Verizon charges $30 for the monthly data plan and a minimum of $40 for voice for the HTC Thunderbolt. For now, the data plan is unlimited, but Verizon has said it will introduce metered data in the future. Until May 15th, you can get unlimited mobile hotspot use for free; after that, it goes up to $20 per month for 2GB of additional data.
The Thunderbolt lives up to its name by being the fastest 4G phone on any network--by far. Provided you're in an area with LTE coverage, you'll be able to load sites, download apps, and start streaming videos in the blink of any eye. This smart phone can also easily replace a USB modem or MiFi. Unfortunately, the Thunderbolt runs out of gas too fast. Overall, we prefer the slimmer and lighter iPhone 4, which has a better display, higher-quality apps, and longer battery life. As for Android fans, they may want to wait for the dual-core Motorola Droid Bionic to come to Verizon (complete with beefier 1930mAH battery). Still, if you have a need for serious speed right now, the Thunderbolt will satisfy.

As you all know Laveral is about natural and organic beauty. We take pride in our standards only selling products free of phthalates, parabens, PEG, and synthetic colors. These agents have been linked to cancer and are an unnecessary additive to beauty products. Parabens have been a big topic among the cosmetics world. This agent is typically used to preserve food and cosmetics and is absorbed through intact skin and from the gastrointestinal tract and blood. Measurable concentrations of six different parabens have been identified in biopsy samples from breast tumors (Darbre, 2004). The particular parabens were found in relative concentrations that closely parallel their use in the synthesis of cosmetic products (Rastogi, 1995). Now let this sink in, cosmetics companies use parabens regularly knowing the possible effects.
Lavera keeps beauty simple and free of harsh chemicals and cancer causing agents. In an effort to support women struggling with breast cancer, breast cancer survivors, and family members who have lost a loved one from this disease we are showing our support through the month of October with the Pink Pride Cosmetic Kit. This kit includes a soft mineral rouge (Rose Light), a frosty pink lip gloss (Rosy Promise), and of course, our award winning Volume Mascara Black, perfect for any occasion. 5% of the proceeds will go to support Keep A Breast foundation in their efforts to promote Breast Cancer Prevention though education. A great benefit about supporting Keep A Breast and early breast cancer detection is that we are not supporting animal testing. Not only are they helping to stop a disease that affects 1 in 8 U.S. women, but their efforts don't involve animal cruelty.
In 2011, there were more than 2.6 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. Let's keep that number climbing. Help us support breast cancer prevention through the purchase of a Pink Pride Cosmetic Kit. Through donations, support, education, and early breast cancer detection, we will succeed and beat breast cancer.

In Pursuit of Pho at Peabody's Triple 888Posted: January 10th, 2013 | Author: KN | Filed under: Asian, Peabody, Pho Triple 888 | Tags: 888, Chinese, Pho, Thai, Vietnamese | 1 Comment »
Deciding to dine at this Peabody eatery may have you second-guessing yourself. First off, there's the name. Pho Triple…wait, what? Triple 888. Apparently in Chinese culture the number 888 is lucky and brings prosperity, so why not triple your luck?
Second, the restaurant sits in a small strip mall on Route 1 in Peabody next door to a tattoo shop, and its dining room is quite drab.
The food, however, dispels all reservations. The large menu features mostly Vietnamese and Thai dishes with a few Chinese specialties thrown in.
We started with fresh spring rolls that included grilled chicken with the usual vermicelli, lettuce, and Asian basil ($4.95). They were light and lovely, and the peanut sauce accompaniment was not too sweet.
A bowl of Pho sounded the thing to fight the January chill, and we were not disappointed. The Tai Gan, a beef pho with rare steak and well-done flank ($7.45 for a large) was delicious. The steak arrived at the table rare and slowly cooked in the steaming soup. The broth was rich and complex with a pleasing umami.
The Mi Hai San, a seafood soup with vermicelli noodles ($7.95) was lighter but still savory, aromatic, and very filling.
The third dish we tried was the Bun Tom Noung, which featured grilled shrimp nestled on a bed of rice vermicelli and veggies ($8.75). The shrimp was firm and flavorful, and the vegetables fresh and crunchy.
We left the table pleased with the meal and the prices. We were not so impressed with the bathroom or the murmuring old TV surrounded by random videos in the dining room, but if you're feeling adventurous and your idea of Asian food goes beyond the kitschy Kowloon fare served down the road, Triple 888 is worth investigating.

New York, February 2, 2012--At least 10 Iranian journalists were jailed in the month of January as the government continued its crackdown on dissent ahead of parliamentary elections scheduled in March, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Recent news reports identified three previously undisclosed arrests.
"The government's intolerance of dissent is rising as parliamentary elections approach," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "Tehran is using the mass arrests of journalists as an intimidation tactic to silence those who dare criticize it."
Mehdi Khazali, a critical blogger, was arrested by security forces on a Tehran street on January 9 and charged with "insulting the supreme leader," according to news reports. His wife told the reformist news website Jonbesh-e Rah-e Sabz that he was beaten during his arrest and suffers from a broken arm and teeth, and an injured knee. He was held in solitary confinement in Evin Prison for over three weeks until he was transferred to the prison's general population on Tuesday, news reports said. Khazali, the son of a high-ranking cleric, has criticized the regime since 2009 on his blog, which has been hacked by authorities and replaced with a pro-government message, according to CPJ research. He also wrote an article saying he would boycott the upcoming parliamentary elections. This is his fifth arrest since 2009, according to Jonbesh-e Rah-e Sabz.
Authorities arrested journalist Saeed Razavi Faghih on January 17 at a Tehran airport as he arrived from Paris, where he lives, according to news reports. Faghih, who wrote for reformist publications Sobh-e Emrooz, Bahar, Doran-e Emrooz, and Vaghaye Etefaghieh, and the English-language news website Rooz Online, was being held in Evin Prison, news reports said. The journalist was arrested while visiting Iran in 2009 and released after 16 days on bail, news reports said. He was then tried in absentia for "propagating against the regime" and sentenced to four years in prison, according to news reports.
On January 17, security forces also arrested Payman Pakmehr, founder of Tabriz News website, which covers the arrests of local activists, in Tabriz and charged him with "propagating against the regime," according to news reports. Pakmehr was released on bail of US$220,000 six days later, news reports said. Tabriz News' website remains blocked since his arrest, CPJ research shows.
Another Web technologist has been given the death penalty in Iran, according to news reports. Web technologist and writer Mehdi Alizadeh was sentenced to death last week at a Tehran Revolutionary Court and charged with being an "enemy of God," according to news reports. Alizadeh was part of a group of Web technologists accused of hosting illegal content online. Three other technologists in the group--Saeed Malekpour, Vahid Asghari and Ahmad Reza Hasempour--were sentenced to death in early January by the same judge that sentenced Alizadeh, according to news reports. The technologist was arrested in 2008 but released on bail, then re-arrested in March 2011 and kept in Evin Prison ever since, news reports said. Alizadeh's own blog, with several humorous articles and stories, has been deleted, CPJ research shows.
CPJ has documented the arrests of seven other Iranian journalists in January. The country was holding 42 journalists behind bars when CPJ conducted its annual census of imprisoned journalists on December 1, 2011.

Stilaaaaaa! Stilaaaaa! Where for art thou?
Well infact, Stila is everywhere in the UK, constantly on sale, on eBay, Brand Alley etc. etc. I like Stila but I don't have a knockout product from the company.
I picked up this Kajal Eyeliner in Topaz after people told me it was the perfect inner eye highlighter. "Geez, haven't you heard of it?" they said in the comments.
Yah I have heard of it, but I couldn't find it!
Well here it is, from eBay for £8 including shipping. I have a few of the other Kajal pencils but they don't work for me – they don't show up on my waterline.
Topaz is a shimmer-free apricot peach:
Apricot Peach….hmmm. You always have to be careful applying white and light colours on the inner rims I think so you don't look like Dolly Parton…in a bad way.
Well, this Stila Pencil is just….lovely.
The light peach looks nice on the inner eye, really brightens up without looking too harsh! Plus for some reason this pencil works like a dream on my eyes – no tugging at all.
I refuse to rub any pencil over and over on my eyes to get the pigment off.
Have this pencil? Like this pencil? Prefer white? Tell me in the comments!

Lessons online
ESA is developing a series of 'Lessons online' for primary and secondary school students, and their teachers.
Space-related topics are an excellent tool that can be used to increase understanding of a number of subjects related to many scientific disciplines. The growing use of computers in the classroom makes space-related topics an even more attractive tool as texts can be combined with illustrations, videos, animations and links to more in-depth information.
Lessons online are based on demonstrations and/or experiments performed on board the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS has now been orbiting the Earth over 15 times a day for more than five years and is a cooperative programme between Europe, the United States, Russia, Canada and Japan.
Each text lesson contains recorded short videos related to topics in the standard European curricula. Lessons can also contain graphics that make curriculum-based scientific information easier to understand and remember.
Lessons online give a general approach to topics, not all of which are necessarily related to space. With the support of videos made with contributions from astronauts onboard the ISS, they give an expert and interesting perspective on many different subjects.

Ignorance is bliss—an adage worth keeping in mind for any Pokémon trainer. If you've subdued, captured, and are now deploying a faithful Diglett, just don't ask questions. Picture its subterranean sections being identical to the cute upper-torso you see sprouting above the earth so cutely.
Of course, for you trainers who simply cannot bear to have the wool pulled over your eyes, for those of you who need the truth like a Squirtle needs water… Well, scroll on down, but know that you'll never be the same.
