Tracey@HopeRenews brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 68 Designs von 22 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Hope Renews
We are a non profit that helps families pay for residential treatment for teens or young adults with serious emotional problems. We provide loans and grants to families as well as information on financial resources,. Through our newsletter and website we also offer emotional support to these families.
We are currently creating a new website, but first need a new logo. The colors should be sage green on ivory. It should include our company's name, Hope Renews, and a simple graphic. The overall design should reflect: overcoming struggle, breaking through obstacles, reaching a peak after a long climb.
We are facing a branding problem. Since our name is Hope Renews, and our color is green, some people mistake us for an environmental organization. So our design should brand us as an organization that helps families with kids in trouble, not global warming.
The design should be simple, tasteful, hopeful, muscular.
Our target audience are parents with kids in trouble. These parents are in crisis: maybe their kid is shooting heroin in the bathroom, or cutting themselves. We need a design that is reassuring, comforting, and conveys hope. Nothing busy, brash or wild.
Our secondary audience are psychiatrists, education consultants, treatment center staff and other treatment professionals who offer guidance and support.
We want a logo with the words Hope Renews in sage green on an ivory background. It could incorporate a simple graphic, although that is not required.
The design should not look like a corporate logo.
It should indicate that we support families, not the environment. (No leaves, trees, or shrubs.)
The board of directors have rejected a number of designs, calling them too feminine and light. We need simple, but strong.

Blu Tuesday: Sherlock, Frenemies and Dogfights
If you didn't believe me when I said that May was going to be a great month for Blu-rays, well, you never should have doubted me to begin with, but I forgive you. Following in the footsteps of last week's releases, there are several great movies and TV series arriving in stores today, including Season Two of the BBC drama "Sherlock." Although I would have liked to see Studio Ghibli's latest animated film, "The Secret World of Arriety," in time to review, it's probably safe to say that it's at least worth renting. Sadly, that's not the case for every new release, but one man's trash is another man's treasure, and that applies to one's taste in movies as well.
Fans of Stephen Moffat and Mark Gatiss' modern-day update of Sherlock Holmes have had to endure an agonizingly long wait between seasons, but I think most people would agree that it was well worth it, because "Sherlock" is every bit as good (and perhaps even better) in its second year. Part of that likely has to do with Moffat and Gatiss choosing to adapt arguably the three most popular stories in Sherlock Holmes canon. Though I've never been particularly fond of the oft-filmed "The Hounds of Baskerville," the two movies that bookend it – "A Scandal in Belgravia" and "The Reichenbach Fall" – are nothing short of perfect, featuring a pair of magnetic performances by Lara Pulver (as the sexy and smart femme fatal Irene Adler) and Andrew Scott, whose deliciously twisted Moriarty is one for the ages. Of course, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are still very much the heartbeat of "Sherlock," because no matter how clever the writing may be, the show wouldn't work as well as it does if it weren't for the chemistry between its two leading men.
Blu-ray Highlight: There's not a single weak link among the included extras, though it's a bit strange that they'd include audio commentaries for the first two movies and not the last one. The commentaries are insightful and will appeal to both fans of the show and the original stories, while the making-of featurette "Sherlock Uncovered" offers a behind the scenes look at the work that went into producing each episode.
Simon Kinberg has written some pretty good movies in the past ("Sherlock Holmes," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"), but he's also written his share of bad ones as well, and "This Means War" falls somewhere in the middle. The film's biggest problem is that it squanders its potential at almost every turn, and a lot of that blame falls on director McG, who fails to make the most of the promising setup. Though it's not as flashy as you might expect compared to some of McG's other work, "This Means War" really isn't as much of an action movie. Instead, it's a romantic comedy where the two love interests just so happen to be real-life action heroes, and while the scenes between Pine and Hardy in the field are a lot of fun, the main plot involving Reese Witherspoon dating both men at the same time is beyond ridiculous. Chelsea Handler is probably the only memorable thing about the movie, and not even in a good way. She's so terrible as Witherspoon's advice-bearing best friend that one can only hope it'll finally expose her as the talentless famewhore she is.
Blu-ray Highlight: McG's rapid-fire commentary is hands-down the best extra on the disc, with the director offering details on just about every aspect of the filmmaking process, even if he does talk about the attractiveness of his three stars quite a bit.

Actress Robin Wright captivates in Netflix series 'House of Cards'
Robin Wright apologizes for an earlier mix-up. Her reps had thought she was on the East Coast filming the second season of her highly admired series, "House of Cards." It turns out she was actually on the West Coast; so there was this EDT/PDT confusion about the interview time.
Figuring out Wright's career is can be a bit puzzling, too. Early on, she starred in two of the most beloved films of all time -- "The Princess Bride" and "Forrest Gump." Since then, she has tried to avoid being typecast, carving out a solid body of work, but not in films with such a cultural impact.
Now Wright's performance in "House of Cards" has reminded audiences just what a captivating actress she is. In the Netflix series -- which was just released on DVD and still is available on the streaming service -- she plays Claire Underwood, part of a Washington, D.C., power couple. Comparisons to Lady Macbeth are often made to her character, the head of a nonprofit company trying to get clean water to impoverished countries. Despite her do-gooder status, Claire often ruthlessly supports her ambitious, manipulative husband, Democratic Majority Whip Francis Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey.
"I think part of me was, 'TV? Really?' " says Wright about being offered the role on "House of Cards." She has done some television, but not as a series regular since she began her career on a daytime soap. "House of Cards," though, is a different animal.
"It's not TV," she observes. "It's a 13-episode film. That's what it feels like."
Based on a 1990 British miniseries, "House of Cards" is from filmmaker David Fincher ("The Social Network," "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") and written by Beau Willimon ("Ides of March").
Wright describes Fincher, whom she worked for in "Dragon Tattoo," as a master of persuasion, but adds she was confident in the quality of the production with him, Spacey and Willimon on board. The new "revolutionary live streaming" format intrigued her, too. Netflix released all 13 episodes the same day, Feb. 1, allowing for the latest trend -- binge viewing -- and it immediately saw a surge in subscriptions.
Then there was the lure of working with Spacey, whom Wright shared a scene with in the 1998 film "Hurlyburly."
"We giggle like little kids at camp between takes," she says about their working relationship. But a key for the actress was the chance to develop Claire, making her a true partner with Francis.
"David assured me that I'd be part of the collaboration in building the character with Kevin and Beau," she says. "A lot of times in this business, we are sold a package of goods, but I got exactly what I was sold."
The fact that Netflix had agreed at the beginning to two seasons of "House of Cards" -- 26 episodes -- allowed the filmmakers and actors to think about the show in a longer arc.
"That was a lot of the fun," says Wright, "because we didn't have to answer all the questions immediately," noting that they were able to discover things about the characters along the way. In Claire's case, the actress was able to slowly "reveal the cracks in the human being under the template of Lady Macbeth."
The 47-year-old actress says she has fought against being typecast over the years.
"I get offered the heartfelt and understanding mother or wife -- internal and ethereal, who is deeply saddened by things," she says, laughing. "So playing Claire is great. I get to branch out and have fun."
As for the understanding mother/wife type, she says, "I basically have to turn down about eight of those roles to get one good one like 'She's So Lovely' or 'White Oleander.' "
While admitting it's tough for women in Hollywood, she says most actors get stereotyped anyway, whether it's as a bad guy or neurotic. "I'm not whining," she says. "I'm just saying that statistically, that's a fact," which is why she is developing projects of her own.
She is a producer on Israeli director Ari Folman's trippy half-animated science-fiction film "The Congress," which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May and was recently picked up for U.S. distribution.
Wright plays a character called Robin Wright in the film, which is something of a commentary on Hollywood and celebrity. Though there are elements similar to her own life, it's not autobiographical, the actress notes. The plot involves the character being told by her agent (Harvey Keitel) that the only way to save her career is by having herself scanned by the studio's computers and signing over her life rights so they can make whatever kind of "Robin Wright movie" they want.
"Ari wanted to use me because I happen to be in two of the most iconic films of the top hundred films in America," says Wright, who will also be seen later this year in "A Most Wanted Man" with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Rachel McAdams. In that film, based on the John le Carre novel, she plays a CIA operative -- not a mother or a wife.
And as far as revealing anything about season two of "House of Cards," which she will be shooting until November, she even sounds like a CIA agent.
"Absolutely not," she responds when asked.

San Diego, Ca — Carl Liebert faced the fitness industry at the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association trade show last month for the first time. However, it wasn't the way he might have envisioned doing so. The CEO of 24 Hour Fitness was meeting some of the biggest players in the industry a little more than a month after well-liked 24 Hour Fitness Founder Mark Mastrov left the company.
"I'm never going to win a popularity contest with Mark, and I wouldn't even want to entertain one," Liebert said during an interview conducted at the trade show in San Diego. "He helped recruit me. He helped bring me in. I owe him a lot. But he created a wonderful company, and we're going to take this wonderful company that he created and make a legacy that he'll be proud of for a long time."
Liebert insisted that Mastrov's departure was a mutual decision between 24 Hour Fitness owners Forstmann Little and Mastrov. Liebert offered well wishes to Mastrov and the four other executives who left the company in January. Several of those executives had opportunities at other companies, he says.
Mastrov has not announced plans for his future although he has involvement in close to 100 fitness facilities outside the United States.
"We are in a stage where we're in a transformation as a company," Liebert says. "We are in a growth and expansion mode. In that growth and expansion mode, people's roles change. What they need to do changes. Their measurements change. Some people enjoy that. Some people would rather not wade into that. They are all wonderful folks. This was not personal. They were very supportive. In the end, to understand clearly, we are on a mission. That mission is to change people's lives through fitness. That's our agenda."
In the last several months, Liebert has hired people from outside the industry and promoted people from within the club company to new positions as a way to move 24 Hour Fitness forward without destroying the company's existing culture.
"The most important part of our transformation is to take the wonderful talent that we have and bring in two, three, four, five people to 'fertilize' or 'populate' that talent and allow us to think a little bit differently," he says.
Liebert himself is a virtual outsider to the fitness industry, but he says that he has grown in his knowledge about the industry and has relied heavily on Mike Sheehan, his chief operating officer, who has been with 24 Hour Fitness for more than seven years.
"Every company needs to continue to reinvent themselves," he says, adding that companies should never stop changing because the world and customers continually change. "If companies can't evolve, that's when you lose."
24 Hour Fitness is evolving by moving into more than its current 14 states, including a move into New York where the company is partnering with New York Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter on three clubs to open this year. Liebert plans to expand into the boroughs and the tristate area with additional clubs.
Moving into the East Coast is something the company and Mastrov talked about for a long time, Liebert says.
"We're finally going to get it done," he says. "I couldn't be more nervous but also anxious to actually get them up because I think we're going to learn a lot."

The history of chip and PIN in the UK
The function of the chip in the card
How small businesses can utilize a chip and PIN card reader
It may seem quite commonplace todays, but the first chip and PIN solution that was ever widely used was available only in France. It used the French B0 standard and could only be used within domestic markets.
Before then, the world's first multi-function chip card, which was developed by Visa, was used in Japan. Known as the SuperSmart card, it did not take off.
It was not until 2003 that the UK ran chip and PIN trials within its cards. Issuers took part in trials in Northampton and Dunfermline wit 117,000 cards being issued to locals.
To cope with the then new technology, over 500 chip and PIN card readers were installed locally and 14 cash machines were converted to adapt. The trail was a success and eventually led to a change in how payments were processed in the UK marketplace.
In 2006, the UK government decided that the enhanced security offered by chip technology, which forced card users to enter a four-digit personal identification number when they made a transaction, was worth making and the project was rolled out nationwide.
Cards had been used widely before then, all but replacing cheques as a means of not having to carry cash around, but transactions still had to be signed for.
The conversion to a chip and PIN reader in nearly all stores in the country, let alone the changes to credit and debit cards, meant that this was the largest consumer changeover since the country had adopted decimalised currency.
Although the presence of a chip in a debit or credit card is obvious – it can be seen housed within the plastic of the card – few people actually have a good understanding of how this small device functions.
The chip itself is known as an EMV, which is a term coined after the three giants in the industry who first agreed upon a common standard. They were Europey, MasterCard and Visa.
Today, the standard is managed by an independent organisation, named EMVCo, a consortium which includes other major card issuers.
The data held on a card is contained within the chip itself, making it more secure than on the magnetic strip on the back of the card. When a card is inserted into a chip and PIN card reader, it will offer up this data from its integrated circuits.
Essentially, the data held on the chip is the card number, its expiration date and so on, but a card machine is required to then ask the card issuer whether funds can be released for a transaction.
Crucially, the PIN number associated with the card is also stored, but this is something the vendor has no access to.
Buyers can review the sale and authorise the payment by entering their PIN into the vendor's chip and PIN machine. The system is only secure if the card owner keeps their PIN number secret.
Since it was rolled out, the humble chip and PIN card reader has worked its way into many corners of life. Once they were only found in banks, for cash machine transactions, and larger stores.
However, todaymany modestly-sized retailers and sole traders rely on them as a convenient means of taking payments.
Indeed, they have become essential business tools, so much so that the public has become accustomed to not carrying cash around, secure in the knowledge that their PIN number protects them from others accessing their available credit or bank balance.
Today, a mobile chip and PIN machine can be used just about anywhere, thanks to SumUp. All that is needed is a small reader like SumUp Air card reader and access to the internet via a smartphone or tablet.
Customers can now pay a vendor anywhere they like, even from their own home, making a small card reader an ultra-convenient tool for tradesmen and salesmen who travel frequently.
Along with the enhanced fraud protection that entering a PIN offers over the older signature method, UK inhabitants enjoy further consumer rights with cards that are fitted with EMV technology.
From 2009, the Financial Services Authority has placed the responsibility on banks and other card issuers to prove transactions are genuine, rather than consumers having to prove they were not if something goes wrong.
As such, the principle is that liability for errors has unquestionably been shifted to the card issuers. The status of cardholders has never been higher.
In Summary
Since the adoption of chip and PIN card readers in the UK, security for cardholders has drastically improved. Not only are these readers found in large stores and banks, but they are now found throughout small pop-up shops, restaurants and with sole traders. The size and convenience of these card readers allow for alternative and secure payment methods.

Paris in the rain
But. It is Paris.
There are breathtaking landmarks.
Kooky characters.
Delicious food.
(Always, delicious food.)
And cafes when all else fails.
It could always be worse, n'est-ce pas??

WEll those of us that love Paris no matter what, have found peace with Paris in the rain. After all, you don't get great rain reflections when it's sunny do you???

I will arrive in Paris on Saturday for two weeks - surely the weather must improve eventually, non? Needless to say, this is causing major havoc with my packing...

I agree, Paris is the woorrsstt in the rain. Woody Allen has obviously never taken the metro when it's raining in Paris. It changes the mood and everything. Be grateful you weren't here in February, it was frigid! This spring has been much worst than last year though, with that I agree. I can't wait until it warms up and I can lay on the Champ de Mars, Velib all over and run in the Bois de Bologne. Enjoy your time in Paris!ReplyDelete
" It could be worse " , yes, you could be stuck in the rain in NJ. lol, I would be happy being stuck in the rain in Paris any time, thank you very much.ReplyDelete
We used to go in Autumn and Spring and never really had serious rain .. luck I guess. But it would not stop me, rain doesn't fall inside the Louvre, the D'Orsay or Galleries Lafayette :)
The rain in Paris is better in a novel or a film. But that almond croissant looks amazing.ReplyDelete
NO place on the planet colder than Paris IMHOReplyDelete
I wonder what it will be doing next wednesday?
Better pack the long johns!
How was Paul Bert?
Mes amis, je t'adore. Thank you for all the comments and thoughts. Though Paris has been cruelly inhospitable this week, it's also been divine. Paul Bert was better than Cafe Constant but nothing has come close to Chez l'Ami Jean. Though Verjus is pretty darn delicious. And then there are the pastries. And exhibitions. And long, beautiful walks. Beat it, cold rain!ReplyDelete
Maybe I should start a blog, God I love Provence! We enjoyed the little towns of Provence just as much as we enjoyed Paris. Saving our pennies so we can get back there again soon! Love your blog!ReplyDelete

I thought I would pay homage to my former employer The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Norb Promo. I learned a lot when I was there and had great opportunities to gain some valuable experience.
This is where I found a niche with Twitter and managed to start my networking rolling. My friend Michelle Martin from the Office of Alumni Relations referred me to the Motor City Virtual Library and through Twitter I found a connection with Robyn Henderson from GMBlogs. She helped with a signature photo which is really classic.
Through this experience I also found the great things we might have lost about Detroit. Detroit was beautiful in the 1950s and the city was a happening place. I hope we find this again. I hope you enjoy a trip down memory lane with these photos.
If you would like to be a part of the Leukemia Ball email Norb at email@example.com or call him at (248) 581-3903.
I hope you are excited about the good the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is doing and would like to learn more. Please Contact Norb I am sure he would love to hear from you.

ANTIOCH — Deer Valley High's girls basketball team opens its Bay Valley Athletic League season Jan. 17 at crosstown rival Antioch. The Wolverines (9-4) are favorites to reclaim the league championship after finishing second to Heritage last year. However, the competition will be tough, with Pittsburg also 9-4 and Liberty 9-5 in nonleague play.
"The girls are coming together pretty well," coach Mark Hurtado said. "We've got a lot of strong senior leadership. Our defense has been getting better."
Deer Valley played in the Diamond Division of the West Coast Jamboree from Dec. 27-30, losing to eventual runner-up Narbonne-Harbor City in the first round, 56-38, then losing a tough one to Santa Rosa, 68-65.
The Wolverines then closed out the tournament with a 70-34 win over Oakland Tech — usually one of the top teams in the Oakland Athletic League.
Hurtado pointed to his team's play in the ABC Tournament at Amador Valley and the Dougherty Valley Tournament as high points of the nonleague slate. Deer Valley won the former, beating Wilcox-Santa Clara in the final, and was runner-up in the latter, falling to always-tough Berkeley in the final.
State-ranked Salesian beat the Wolverines at Deer Valley, 76-55.
Senior swing Maranne Johnson leads the team in scoring at 13.1 points per game with sophomore swing Jordan Morales next at 11.3. Senior guard Sierra Dixon is averaging 9.7. Junior center Brandy Williams is averaging 9.3 rebounds per game and has been a huge factor in the team's success, according to Hurtado.
Senior forward Alejandra Cephas, headed to the University of Nevada next year, has been very consistent with 7.4 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
Deer Valley has a couple of tough nonleague games left on the schedule. On Jan. 25, the Wolverines travel to Sacramento to face Sheldon. And on Feb. 1, they will host one of the best teams in the state in Carondelet.
"Their style fits ours so it's going to be an up and down kind of game," Hurtado said. "If they're hitting their 3s, it's going to be a long night. We have the athletes to run with them."
The goals, from this point on, are simple.
"We want to win league so we can get a good seed for (the) North Coast (Section playoffs)," Hurtado said, adding that a berth and a high seed for the California Interscholastic Federation playoffs was next on the list.

Apple's denial that "app store" is a generic term in its most recent trademark infringement suit against Amazon Thursday seems to indicate the tech company has no intention of surrendering the name.
In a filing Thursday in federal court in Oakland, Apple said that the term isn't commonly used by businesses to describe download services and that Amazon's Appstore for Android isn't an "app store," according to Bloomberg Businessweek. Apple is seeking a court order to prevent the Seattle-based online retailer from using "appstore," and Amazon is asking the judge to throw out the lawsuit and rule that "app store" is a generic term.
We have heard the same argument for the last year, with Apple spending a lot of time and money trying suing for trademark infringement and defending itself from domestic and now global attacks on what can only be called hubris. Although Apple filed for the trademark in 2008, it wasn't until 2010 that the application could be formally opposed. Almost every tech company in Silicon Valley, and now the world, is fighting Apple to give up trying to own the rights to the name.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
If the name is trademarked, companies would have to rename any "app store" or pay a fee to license the name from Apple -- which will probably be unlikely because Apple likely intends to keep it as an exclusive brand.
Not surprisingly, Amazon, Microsoft and Nokia, oppose Apple's trademarking because all have app stores for mobile devices. A spokesman for Microsoft placed laid out its argument in great context:
"An 'app store' is an 'app store'," Russell Pangborn, Microsoft's associate general counsel said. "Like 'shoe store' or 'toy store', it is a generic term that is commonly used by companies, governments and individuals that offer apps. . . . The term 'app store' should continue to be available for use by all without fear of reprisal by Apple.
I think it makes perfect sense and Apple should never be granted this particular trademark.

Notice Regarding California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010
On January 1, 2012, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) ("Act") went into effect in the State of California. The Act is an attempt to seek the elimination of slavery and human trafficking from product supply chains and requires that companies disclose their efforts to ensure that their supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking. Nutraceutical opposes slavery and human trafficking in any form and urges governments and government agencies around the world to take measures to eradicate these activities by outlawing and prosecuting violators. We are committed to supporting these efforts as a small cap company in the United States if there are viable steps we can take. We describe our current practices below.
Overview of Natural Ingredient Sourcing
Nutraceutical currently sells over 7,000 SKUs of products which incorporate over 2,000 raw materials, with their ultimate sources likely including regions in virtually every country in the world. Many of these ingredients are planted and harvested using traditional techniques developed over centuries if not millennia, while others are harvested using modern techniques. The suppliers can range from large businesses to small, family owned farms, coops and harvesting operations, where products are sometimes wildcrafted (i.e.,harvested from the wild). In some traditional family operations, family members of all ages may participate together and support each other and in fact enjoy working together, just as many farming operations in the United States have done since the founding of this country. Since growing conditions can change from year to year and season to season, buyers who work for Nutraceutical and for the natural product suppliers we purchase from must source these materials from a wide variety of vendors, which can change from year to year or even season to season. All of these factors create a particularly challenging situation for any company of our size to make a meaningful contribution in this area.
Supply Chain Standards
Nutraceutical expects its suppliers to ensure that quality and safety standards are maintained throughout our supply chain by well treated, fairly compensated workers in accordance with all applicable laws. Our current efforts include the following:
Standards: Our contracts with our suppliers requires that they commit to us that they ensure that their activities and the activities of their suppliers comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to slavery and human trafficking as well as our Code of Ethics.
Verifications and Audits: On those occasions when our purchasing team members have the opportunity to visit suppliers, they are asked to take the opportunity to inspect storage, production and/or harvesting facilities and operations and ask appropriate questions. We do not normally engage third parties to do this.
Certification: Our purchase terms contain a clause under which our direct suppliers certify to us that they comply with laws regarding slavery and human trafficking in the country or countries in which they do business.
Internal Accountability: If we were to determine that an employee or contractor has violated a law regarding slavery and human trafficking, this would constitute grounds for termination of the employment or supply relationship.
Training: Our purchase personnel have been instructed to review these statements and our contracting terms and comply with them. Our Vice President over purchasing is responsible to ensure that existing employees and new hires are trained on these issues.

Lockport Rotary Scholarships are awarded to graduating students living in the Lockport, Newfane or Starpoint school districts and attending the district high school or a regional private or parochial high school. Selection is based on scholastic achievement, character, leadership in school, extracurricular and community activities, and poise and presence in an interview with the scholarship committee.

The Indian mobile market has suddenly been flooded with several seemingly good options for Android smartphones around Rs. 7,000. There's the Moto E by Motorola, Micromax Unite 2, the Lava Iris X1 and a few other options. So is a budget Android finally worth it?
Like in most cases, it's not a clear-cut answer of yes or no, so here are the common triumphs and failings of this lot of smartphones, which should help you make a better buying decision.
Screen: Apart from the Moto E, none of the other budget smartphones come with scratch-resistant glass, which is usually not worth a compromise. The quality of the screen itself is now good enough for most users, although you won't get super-sharp or big-size displays.
Verdict: Good enough.
Performance: Forget about the dual-core, quad-core, RAM and other counts. Those aren't making much of a difference in this price range. What you need to know is that all the phones are fine for standard operations like calling, internet usage, texting and IMs, social networking, etc. But if you want to play high-end games or be a power user with lots of apps running, these phones aren't going to keep up with you.
Verdict: Good enough for average users, not worth it for gamers and power users.
Memory: We have gone into detail about how with low-cost Androids, limited memory means limited usage. With just around 2.5GB of internal memory available to the user and the inability to install apps on microSD cards with Android KitKat, this one aspect is a major factor in deciding who should and shouldn't use these phones.
Verdict: Not good enough for anyone. You will need to be choosy about which apps you install.
Camera: You obviously won't get a great camera at this price. You'll be able to shoot photos that are usable in broad daylight, and you will need to rely on filter-centric apps like Instagram to correct images shot in low light. Video shooting is a problem, and all phones are slow to focus, which means candid shots usually appear blurry.
Verdict: Decent, but don't expect too much.
Battery: This aspect isn't common across phones, so it's best to read individual handset reviews to know more about the battery life of 7K Android phones.
Verdict: Generally good and long-lasting, but there can be exceptions.
Summary: These Rs. 7,000 Android smartphones are good enough if your needs are limited to a few basic apps, calling and messaging, email and internet browsing, some social networking, and the odd game like Angry Birds. You need to know that you can't install too many apps on this and that you will have to clean your phone's internal memory periodically—if that's not okay with you, look elsewhere now!

While living in Chicago she began to model for pageants and various hair shows; before being selected as a Spokes Model for well-known companies.
Since her professional career began just a few years ago; Deanna's talents, her bi-racial exotic look, and her determination allowed her to be involved and seen on The Mike & Juliet Morning Show, GSN's "Baggage", "Tough Love Coed", the reality series called "Entrapment" as herself , and on the television series "True Crime" as a 1940's call girl and a Mafia wife, on the I.D Channel.

According to many of her costars, producers, and directors, the sky is no limit for this young star that has incredible range, intense concentration, and a steely determination to be involved with projects that challenge her professionally with wide-ranging subject matters and characters. If not in front of the camera; she is behind scenes designing and styling the principles clothing on set of movies, videos, and theater plays.
Do not get it confused, not only is she a talented beautiful woman wearing many hats, she is also a very spiritual and business oriented woman. Outside of the film and live theater Deanna is a Realtor in the San Fernando Valley, but that wasn't enough for her. Deanna took it to another level by opening an Interior Design & Remodeling Company called "Designs & Décor, LLC" that also offer several other services as well. Deanna's future goals/dreams are not just to star in movies, but produce them. Not just working for companies, but owning them.

See how a priest surprises bride & groom on their special day
MILWAUKEE (WITI) — Before Father Ray Kelly was done officiating the wedding of Chris and Leah O'Kane on Saturday, April 5th, he had a bit of a surprise in store for the happy couple.
Instead of closing the ceremony as planned, the priest unleashed an epic performance — one that caught everyone in the church off guard. It even led to a standing ovation. Watch and be amazed — and you'll understand why this has gone viral.

The future of work has already arrived and is entering the healthcare enterprise. Healthcare's digital leaders are beginning to shape strategies to fundamentally reinvent their workforces. Driven by a surge in on-demand labour platforms and online work management solutions, legacy models and hierarchies are starting to dissolve and be replaced with open talent marketplaces.
This is beginning in the back-office of the healthcare enterprise in corporate functions like technology, finance, human resources, and research and development, where there are lower regulatory barriers on the workforce. However, workforce marketplaces are also emerging in select areas of care delivery where open talent platforms connect providers and consumers while confirming regulatory compliance and quality.

text: Your job demands a lot of your time. Your family demands just as much, if not more. Trips to the mailbox are greeted by bills. Every day, life is taking its toll on you. Even in seemingly good times, stress is something we cannot escape; not only does it have a harmful effect on us mentally, but it can also wreak havoc on us physically — including on our waistlines.*When we are faced with stress, our bodies go into "fight or flight" response and certain hormones are released by the adrenal gland, hormones that would give the body a burst of energy and strength. This response used to be beneficial to our ancestors, allowing their bodies to physically fight or run away when faced with danger. But in today's society, this response acts much differently, taking place as a result of stressful days at the office or traffic jam on your way home. The response is supposed to return to normal once the perceived threat is gone, but if the body is unable to return to normalcy due to increased stress levels, it could have a negative effect upon the body with symptoms including adrenal fatigue, suppressed thyroid function, an imbalance in blood sugar levels, and increased abdominal (adipose) fat.*One of the hormones released during this "fight or flight" response is cortisol, which increases blood sugar, suppresses the immune system, and aids in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Under normal circumstances, cortisol helps restore homeostasis after stress. The problem is that constant stress leads to a constant state of cortisol production, which stimulates glucose production. This excess glucose is typically converted into fat, ending up as stored fat. High cortisol levels can also lead to binge eating. Not only do high cortisol levels make you want to keep on snacking, but excess cortisol also contributes to storing more belly fat, which is known to be a bit harder to lose.*Cortisol levels also have a direct relationship with the thyroid, and they act synergistically with one another. Cortisol assists the thyroid hormone in working more efficiently, and the correct amount of cortisol — not too high or too low — supports normal thyroid function. When cortisol gets too high, triggered by the adrenal glands response to elevated stress, it causes a delayed response to the thyroid hormone receptors. When this occurs, the hormones aren't allowed to work at optimal levels, leaving you feeling sluggish, leading to a higher chance of stress eating, and giving up physical activity.*When you're battling adrenal fatigue, it is difficult to lose weight for several reasons. Not only are you exhausted and lack the physical energy to exercise the way that you used to, but those suffering with adrenal fatigue also crave high-fat sweets and salty foods, turning to food as a way to comfort them and aid in assisting their exhausted adrenal glands. The combination of being sedentary, having no energy, and eating chips and cookies makes it seemingly impossible to lose weight, but there is hope, and it can be done without worsening your already delicate state of health and without feeling famished.*TLS ACTS Adrenal, Cortisol, Thyroid & Stress Support Formula, specially formulated with holy basil and ashwagandha, works specifically to promote healthy adrenal gland function, cortisol levels and thyroid function to help control stress levels and minimize weight gain that is associated with increased stress. Unlike the competitors, TLS ACTS doesn't just mask the problem of weight gain — it addresses the root of the problem by helping your body adapt to stress and assisting you with your weight management goals.*

For the week ending 9 August 2008 / 8 Av 5768
What's in That Name?
Did you ever wonder how a non-Jewish name like Alexander became so common among Jews?
The story goes that the original Alexander, the king of Macedon who conquered almost the entire world including Eretz Yisrael, planned to install a statue of himself in the Beit Hamikdash. The kohen gadol, Shimon Hatzadik, suggested to him that there was a better way to immortalize himself than defiling the House of G-d with a graven image.
"Issue an order," he counselled, "that all the male children born this year be named Alexander after you."
The idea found favor in the eyes of Alexander who then donated gold for the upkeep of the Beit Hamikdash, bowed to G-d and departed.

A tall fence equipped with motion sensors will encircle the massive building in Franklin where New England Treatment Access Inc. plans to grow its supply of medical cannabis.
Twenty-four hours a day, six security guards will patrol the Forge Parkway premises, also monitored by infrared cameras.
Employees will pass through a secure checkpoint before beginning the workday. And all of the leftover plant waste they dispose of is to be mixed with rock, wool and paper, then ground to a pulp, making it useless should anyone gain access to the Dumpsters.
"It�s not just for keeping criminals out, but keeping the employees who work for us honest, as well," said the company's executive director Kevin Fisher of the site's layered security.
In the summer, the company will officially open, along with some 20 other medical marijuana businesses approved by the state for provisional licenses last month.
The companies got that far in part by showing they had security measures in place for just about everything. By all accounts, the businesses will only survive if they can protect their staff, customers and inventory -�no easy task when you deal strictly in cash and sell a product that accounts for billions of dollars a year in illicit drug sales.
"There are ancillary crimes that result from a dispensary," Walpole Deputy Police Chief John Carmichael said in a recent phone interview. "It becomes a target and needs the best security in place to minimize any threats."
Carmichael has seen the security plans of the 80 companies who last November submitted Phase 2 applications for medical marijuana dispensary licenses. Part of the panel that scored the applicants, he also advised the Department of Health while it wrote medical marijuana regulations.
When grading the companies on security, Carmichael said, "We focused on three things: the structure of building, safety and security of the staff, and the delivery and transportation system."
The state regulations include a long list of security measures that go beyond the specific alarm systems and surveillance cameras required, touching on everything from how to transport the pot to how to market it.
"The security mechanisms that applicants had in place varied," Carmichael said. "A lot of the applicants went above and beyond."
Like New England Access, which will grow marijuana at 5 Forge Parkway in Franklin for dispensaries in Brookline and Northampton, many of the companies will spend thousands of dollars on security to prevent their businesses from being robbed or their product from ending up on the street.
Carmichael wanted to see, among other measures, that the companies had a system for employees entering and leaving the building � key cards or biometric identification. Staff would also receive training for robbery scenarios and they would have limited access to the cultivation areas.
The businesses have to transport the marijuana discreetly, in vehicles bearing no logos or monikers associated with the dispensary or growing facility. Drivers need to go straight to their destination � no side trips. And travel logs must be kept to verify delivery.
On board, the pot must be locked up.
In Carmichael�s view, some companies planned to take too extreme, aggressive measures, such as employing armed security guards or asking that the local police department tap into a live video feed of the business.
Armed guards could create a "wild West" situation where the employees take the law into their own hands, he said. And live video surveillance would make it seem like the police departments were acting as private security.
Carmichael said, however, that he did look for companies who would share information with police and local officials.
In Milford, for instance, Police Chief Thomas O'Loughlin has been surprised by the forthrightness of a non-profit proposing a dispensary at 13 Commercial Way.
"The consultation I had with them is no different from my meeting with security professionals from other businesses, whether they be pharmacies or chain stores," O�Loughlin said in a recent phone interview. "From a policing and law enforcement perspective, I�m pleased with their openness."
The company, Milford Medicinals, invited O�Loughlin to tour the site and critique its security plan.
"Medical marijuana is new to Massachusetts, and I think a lot of people are concerned with the security around it," said company spokesman Michael Dundas. "In all respects of our operation, we believe involvement with the community and open dialogue is crucial to the success of our operations."
O�Loughlin doesn�t expect to have to give the dispensary any special attention � such as extra patrols � saying it faces the same threats as a pharmacy.
"There is the potential for serious issues to take place, but it�s how you mitigate them and address them that matters," he said. "The major chain pharmacies have security departments that are bigger than my police department anyway."

In a long night of few surprises (Michelle Obama assisting Jack Nicholson!), "Argo" was named Best Picture at the 85th Annual Academy Awards Sunday night.
Ben Affleck's CIA thriller about the Iran hostage crisis managed to grab the top prize while not being included in the director category. The last time such an upset occurred was in 1989 when "Driving Miss Daisy" took best picture and the directing award went to Oliver Stone for "Born on the Fourth of July."
Announced by Nicholson (on hand at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood) and the first lady via satellite from the White House, the "Argo" producers -- Affleck, Grant Heslov and George Clooney -- took the stage to grasp their statues at the end of what felt like a lengthy, often bloated ceremony.
U.S. & World
Calling fellow nominee Steven Spielberg a "genius" ("Lincoln" was a favorite in the category), Affleck delivered a moving acceptance speech in which he thanked family and coworkers before reminding viewers of his previous win (screenplay) for "Good Will Hunting" in 1998.
"I was here years ago or something," Affleck said. "I had no idea what I was doing ... I never thought I would be back here."
Fighting his emotions, the actor/director/producer went on to say that, "It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, cuz that's gonna happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up." "Argo" also took honors for film editing and adapted screenplay.
Oscars 2013: Best and Worst Dressed
The shutout continued for Spielberg and "Lincoln" in the directing category. "Life of Pi" director Ang Lee was awarded the prize in what was a replay of 2006, which saw Lee take the same category for "Brokeback Mountain" while "Crash" was awarded best picture. "Thank you movie god," Lee said in accepting the Oscar. "I really need to share this with all three thousand who worked with me on "Life of Pi.'"
"Pi" took four awards in all, more than any other movie Sunday night. As well as directing, the film's haul consisted of original score, visual effects and cinematography.
Best actress winner Jennifer Lawrence took a minor tumble thanks to her voluminous Dior gown as she made her way up the stairs to claim the statue for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook."
"You guys are standing up because you feel bad that I fell," she said.
Lawrence's win didn't come as a shock in the acting categories, with the majority of Oscars being handed to favorites. Perhaps the biggest favorite heading into Hollywood's biggest night was Daniel Day-Lewis for "Lincoln."
Cracking wise that he had originally committed to play Margaret Thatcher and that it was Meryl Streep who was Spielberg's first choice to play the titular role of "Lincoln," Lewis walked away with his third best actor win (a record) following statues for 1990's "My Left Foot" and "There Will Be Blood" in 2008.
Earlier, Christoph Waltz beat out a deep field of previous Oscar winners to take best supporting actor for his role in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained." It was another Tarantino film, "Inglourious Basterds," for which Waltz won the same award in 2009. The director himself would later be called onstage to accept the award for original screenplay for "Django."
Oscars 2013: Full List of Winners
By the midpoint of the telecast, the musical adaption of the Victor Hugo French revolution-set novel "Les Miserables" was on to its third statue thanks to Anne Hathaway's win for best supporting actress.
After dominating the awards season for her portrayal of the doomed prostitute Fantine, Hathaway noted her Oscar win by saying, "it came true." She wrapped up the speech by saying, "Here's hoping that someday in the not too distant future the misfortunes of Fantine will only be found in stories and not in real life."
"Les Mis" also scored wins in the sound mixing and makeup and hairstyling categories.
Oscars also went to the French-language film from Austria, "Amour," for best foreign language film, Pixar's "Brave" for best animated feature film, best animated short "Paperman" and "Anna Karenina" for costume design.
First time host Seth MacFarlane opened the proceedings by citing some of the big questions hovering over the ceremony: Ben Affleck's exclusion from the best director category, Daniel Day-Lewis' method acting approach to "Lincoln," and whether or not he could make Tommy Lee Jones laugh.
The "Family Guy" creator played it relatively safe with his early remarks -- so safe that producers employed a pre-recorded William Shatner to don his Captain Kirk uniform and pretend to be the iconic character beamed back from the future to stop MacFarlane messing up the ceremony.
Shatner went so far as to publicly wish for Amy Poehler and Tina Fey (whose hosting gig at the Golden Globes in January received wide acclaim) to take the reins. A taped sketch in which MacFarlane wore the wimple and habit of Sister Betril from "The Flying Nun" -- in front of Sally Field, no less -- garnered the most laughs from the seated A-list crowd.
Billed as a celebration of movies and their music, big performances were the order of the evening.
Previous winner and Bond girl Halle Berry introduced a visual and musical mash-up of 50 years of 007. Beginning with Monty Norman's classic James Bond theme, the montage touched lightly on the films before Dame Shirley Bassey took the stage to belt out perhaps the Bond song she is most known for, "Goldfinger." The 76-year-old diva -- in her first Academy Award appearance -- brought the audience to their feet as she powerfully drew out the final note.
Oscars Red Carpet: Beyond the Pale
The Bond celebration was a successful melding of the image and the sound. While aurally pleasing, the next big musical number played out more like an homage to Broadway than the silver screen. Catherine Zeta-Jones slipped into her "Chicago" best to slink about the stage as she sang "All That Jazz," before Jennifer Hudson proved her vocal prowess with a stunning rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from "Dreamgirls."
Next up it was the gang from "Les Miserables," led by Hugh Jackman singing "Suddenly" before he was joined onstage by his fellow castmembers (including Russell Crowe, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried, Samantha Barks and Anne Hathaway) for "One Day More." The performance was like something from a telecast of the Tonys.
The night's more straightforward musical numbers belonged to Adele and Barbra Streisand. For her first Oscar gig in 36 years, Streisand ended the In Memoriam segment by singing "The Way We Were," a song written by her close friend and collaborator Marvin Hamlisch who passed away in 2012. Grammy winner Adele performed the theme song to "Skyfall," which went on to score the Oscar in the original song category.
As the "Argo" crew headed into the night to celebrate their win and the clock ticked perilously close to midnight, MacFarlane was joined onstage by Kristen Chenowith for one last tongue-in-cheek song and dance - this time to honor (and name) the evening's losers.
