Chinese manufacturers have been very innovative with their smartphones and have brought some uniquely designed smartphones in the market. While Chinese manufacturers have started a trend in some areas, now another phone maker Maze Mobile is set to launch a smartphone featuring a bezel-less design.
Dubbed as Maze Alpha the device is expected to come in few weeks. And while the official launch is going to happen soon the specs of the smartphone have just leaked online. The leak comes in the form of a Twitter post. Evan Blass (@evleaks), one the popular tipster in the smartphone world has posted that the Maze Alpha will come with a 6-inch Full-HD display with Gorilla Glass 4, an octa-core processor, a dual-rear camera from Sony (one of which will be 13 MP) and a 4,000 mAh battery.

He has also said that the smartphones will have 4 GB RAM / 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM / 128 GB storage configurations, and finally, it will run Android Nougat out of the box.
Coming to design aspect, the Alpha looks similar to Xiaomi's Mi MIX handset. However, there are some unique aspects of the smartphone. The smartphone has a front-facing speaker at the top and there is a dual-rear camera.
Further, the smartphone seems to have a larger bezel on the bottom and there might be a fingerprint scanner present. However, they could have gone with less bezel and included the fingerprint scanner at the back. But the phone does look appealing.

In any case, we should have more details about the smartphone in the coming days.
What do you think about the Maze Alpha? Do let us know in the comments.

When Springsteen Came to Haddonfield: New Jersey photographer Frank Stefanko reflects on working with The Boss
Looking at the cover art, you'd probably guess that the iconic photo of Bruce Springsteen on Darkness on the Edge of Town was shot in his native Asbury Park. Or maybe in nearby Homdel, New Jersey, where he bought a farmhouse to write the album in.
That speaks to how well The Boss and South Jersey photographer Frank Stefanko were simpatico. The front and back cover images for Darkness, with a tousle-haired Bruce standing against venetian blinds and floral wallpaper, gazing in the lens with a mix of world-weary ennui and quiet confidence, were actually shot in Stefanko's home in Haddonfield, New Jersey, a cozy borough just 25 minutes east of Philadelphia. They were two of the first photographs Stefanko took of Springsteen, from a test shoot that would precede their main portrait sessions. And with The Boss presenting an everyman character in his poise – whether intentional or accidental — the image connected hugely with the songs he was crafting at the time.
As Stefanko told Pitchfork in a 2010 interview, "We were trying to recreate these middle America, working class families; guys that were looking for redemption. It could have been done in the 70s or 50s or even the 40s. The idea was that these people transcended time or space. But we were trying to get something to look like an old Kodacolor snapshot. There were a lot of black and white photographs taken in those sessions too which were very striking in their own right. But the idea of this color photograph that could have been a snapshot in somebody's drawer worked for the album."
As it turned out, many famous images of Springsteen were also taken in and around Haddonfield, by Stefanko. The artwork for The River. The cover of his memoir, Born to Run. This fall, Stefanko released his own book, a massive new photo collection called Bruce Springsteen: Further Up The Road. The book chronicles the two Jersey boys' four decades working together, from the sessions for Darkness and The River through the Nebraska years and up to Springsteen's tours in 2012 and 2016. It features photos, proof sheets, and lots of lore, and to commemorate the year they began working together, is released in a limited edition of 1,978 copies.
"Bruce was looking for a certain feeling, a certain look," Stefanko said when I caught up with him via phone last month. "And to my great pleasure, the images I created were the ones that he felt represented the characters he was writing about." Continue reading →

Global Overview, August 2016
Global Overview – Trends and Outlook
Little relief to dryness expected over Guatemala and Honduras
Africa Weather Hazards
The month saw fighting escalate again in Syria and Afghanistan, and erupt in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenian-backed separatists and Azerbaijani forces. In Bangladesh, election violence and killings by extremist groups showed how new heights of government-opposition rivalry and state repression have benefitted violent political party wings and extremist groups alike. Political tensions intensified in Iraq and Macedonia, and security forces severely supressed opposition protests in the Republic of Congo and Gambia.
The month saw violent extremist movements, including the Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda-linked groups, carry out major deadly attacks in Turkey, Pakistan, Côte d'Ivoire, Tunisia and Belgium. In Libya, the arrival of Prime Minister Serraj in Tripoli despite warnings from multiple factions could lead to further destabilisation. Meanwhile in Central Africa, political violence rose in Burundi and could break out in Chad around the 10 April presidential election.
The month saw conflict continue to rage in Turkey's south east between Ankara and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), looking likely to further escalate in March. Afghanistan and Somalia both saw armed insurgencies capture new territories. In Africa, political tensions rose in Chad, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, while in Venezuela, deadlock between the opposition-held parliament and government has brought the country closer to political and economic implosion.
The month saw an intensification of Yemen's war, amid heightened regional rivalries between Saudi Arabia and Iran complicating prospects for peace. Political tensions increased in Haiti, Guinea-Bissau and Moldova, where protests over endemic corruption and a lack of confidence in the government could escalate. In Africa, Boko Haram's deadly attacks increased in northern Cameroon, and Burkina Faso was hit by an unprecedented terror attack.

Buddha Quote
You can only lose what you cling to. Buddha This is seriously my a-ha moment for the day.
You can only lose what you cling to. Buddha This is seriously my a-ha moment for the day.
I ate my cheese and tomato toastie in the middle of my backyard with the sun on my back. I watched as a couple of butterflies fluttered over the garden shed, and a crow flew over my head. The wind moved my son's school clothes ever so slightly on the line. A pigeon kept on cooing. Not so far away, ants fraternised madly with a twig, as though it may come to life; its sun-dried leaves remained flat against the pavement. My body still felt heavy from a harsh run with Winter colds, but everything around me was soothing and ready to float. I looked up at our gum tree, holding my arm up to shield from rays, and the tree seemed to acknowledge me. "Don't worry," it said. "I will take care of you."
Write every day, they say. I've been getting stuck into my beloved Jack Canfield, dealing with feelings that have taken me by surprise, reading my old journals and searching within. I'd forgotten about my internal pledges all those years ago to become a writer. It was such an unusual feeling to be reminded of how badly I once wanted it. For a passion that was embedded so deeply, how and why could I have let it go? I think back to who I was back then, and I started to theorise that maybe it never got off the ground because it was all about the idea of being a writer. The sheer romance of it all. It would explain why I never submitted my work — well, I could count on one hand the work that I sent — but that doesn't make much sense to me because I don't submit my images for photographic competitions and awards as a photographer today either. I could also argue that perhaps I just wasn't ready for submission …
About a year ago I sold a load of my writing books. And now I want them back. Something is stirring in me. The opacity slider on my internal creative wall is making its way over to the left hand side. This is a good thing.

Two Years of Parallel
We've all been there…you put your music library on shuffle, the intro of "Parallel" starts playing and you rock out. Next song comes on and you're now listening to the orchestral version of "Parallel," followed by an acoustic version, a Mack & Jet Star Vega remix, and that doesn't even begin to cover the live versions you've ripped from YouTube.
It's hard to believe this song is already two years old. "Parallel" was released on March 25th, 2014. This first true Heffron Drive release peaked at #11 on the iTunes charts which is pretty darn impressive for a band that's doing this all on their own. Heffron Drive put their trust in the fans to carry this song and Drivers everywhere didn't let them down. There was a huge push to get the song on radio which led to a small radio tour that covered Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Nevada, California, New York, and Pennsylvania. Heffron Drive also performed the song with the National Symphony Orchestra for PBS' "A Capitol Fourth" event in Washington D.C.
It wasn't just the fans who fell in love with the song. Media outlets gave nothing but praise to the debut single:
"We have had Heffron Drive's new single "Parallel" on repeat since we got to download it yesterday, and we have no plans to turn it off." –Fanlala
."Heffron Drive's songwriting is quite warm and honest on this tune. They use great allusions and vivid imagery to convey their message across. "Parallel" is very catchy, soothing and has a great beat to it. Once you hear it, "Parallel" is hard to get out of your head, no matter how hard you try." – Digital Journal
So much has happened in the last two years for Heffron Drive, and this is the song that truly started it all.
Second Heffron Drive Music Video
Drivers! Have you heard about the 2nd music video from Heffron Drive? Are you excited? Here's what we know: The guys have been working so hard on new music and music videos. Kendall and Dustin have been giving little teasers on social media. The guys sure do know how to make us suffer with anticipation!
I mean look at them on those Segway Hoverboards. Anyone else curious how they included those in the music video? Hopefully nobody got hurt, but it sure does look interesting!
Here we have Kendall beside Dustin, who is playing his guitar. We can see the background and an idea of how the music video will look. Don't you want to see more now?
And then we have both of them posing for the video Dustin posted on Snapchat. Follow the guys on Snapchat at 'kendallsnaps111' and 'thedbeltblog' for updates of their days.
Now all we can do is wait until we see more of this 2nd music video and enjoy the teasers we received. Keep an eye out on social media for a release date. Don't forget to subscribe to Heffron Drive on YouTube so you don't miss out when this video is released
Heffron Drive with Logan Henderson
Back in November of 2015, Heffron Drive did a small acoustic tour of Italy in which they promised to return in March and to bring fellow Big Time Rush member Logan Henderson along for the ride. They made good on that promise, arriving in Naples, Italy, on March 8th with a back-up band for a string of full-production concerts.
After spending the first two days sightseeing and sampling the local cuisine, the tour officially started!
As the first four shows were advertised as "featuring Logan Henderson" it was no surprise to fans that he took part in the VIP meet and greets. It's been a few years since Logan made a public appearance, so everyone was excited to see him along with Kendall and Dustin.
Kendall and Dustin took the stage each night to a packed house. When the time came, Logan joined them for a medley of Big Time Rush songs. They played "Nothing Even Matters," "Windows Down" remixed with "Big Time Rush," "Music Sounds Better With U," and "If I Ruled the World." He also joined them to perform "Passing Time," which is the track he sings on Heffron Drive's Happy Mistakes Unplugged album.
The first show at Teatro Palapartenope in Naples on March 10th was the "best concert ever!" according to @italianrushers, and judging by the mountain of photos, videos, and tweets posted, we think it's safe to say that's the general consensus all around. You can view many of these at Embrace The Unknown and TOLBooth OST tumblr.
March 11th was the second show, at Palaflorio in Bari. The morning hours were spent on breakfast, a bus ride, and of course sound check. That evening, the boys once again rocked the stage. Full video of some songs were posted by fan Jennifer Lovine on her YouTube channel.
CEG Talent shared this candid shot from backstage after the show.
The concert in Rome on March 12th was originally slated for a small venue, but due to overwhelming ticket sales was relocated to PalaLottomatica, a venue that seats over 10,000! Due to the larger audience, we got more pictures and video from this show than the previous two, as well as professional quality photos thanks to Magdalena Romanczuk, Alessia Buscarino and the Italian music magazine www.photovoice.eu.
Kendall and Logan were also interviewed that day by TG1, Italy's main news program. Their segment aired on the show March 14th and can be viewed here.
Sunday, March 13th, was the final show featuring Logan. This concert at Teatro Colosseo was sold out! The venue was so packed that the fire marshal threatened to shut the place down, but the show was allowed to continue as planned. Once again fans came through with pictures and video, sharing the experience with everyone around the world. Dustin posted a photo of himself, Kendall, and Logan to close out the first leg of the tour.
We can't thank the Italian fans enough for all of the posts that made it possible for fans worldwide to enjoy the concerts from afar. Thanks also to Ginger Generation, Teen Fest, and CEG Talent for documenting the tour
HD Italian Take Over
The past few months have been Heffron Over-Drive for Italian fans!
After a spectacular tour in November, Kendall Schmidt returned to Italy the last week of February to do press for the shows in March. Kendall had gelato with Ginger Generation, made the cover of Metro News Italia, and was a special guest on Detto Fatto .
He then returned to the states for a week of tour rehearsal with Dustin Belt, Logan Henderson, and the full band.
Heffron Drive's second tour of Italy was a huge success. All shows were sold out in advance or reached maximum capacity the night of the event! They performed all the hits from Happy Mistakes, a couple of classics, and introduced a new song called "Rain Don't Come."
"Rain Don't Come" is the song for the highly anticipated music video that was filmed in the desert a few months ago. There is no official release date for the video, but the song will be available to purchase on itunes on April 8th.
Check out the live performance of the song here.
Rain Don't Come
It's no April Fool's Joke, the new Heffron Drive song "Rain Don't Come" will be available for pre-order starting Friday, April 1st at 12:01am (in your respective time zones) on iTunes.
The song will be available for download starting Friday, April 8th worldwide (and yes Android users, the song will be available on Google Play and Amazon Music!)
After the news of the pre-order was announced, Kendall and Dustin both shared the single artwork on their Instagrams. The artwork hints at the desert video they filmed recently, which is also coming soon!
TOLBooth Records is looking for new talent!
Teamer Tips from TOLBooth OST
Hello Everyone!
Is it just me or did March just fly by? We've been busy passing time by helping Drivers promote TOLbooth Records and Heffron Drive. (Also making really terrible song puns, admit it you laughed.) Here's a recap of our tips for the month of March. Remember to check our Facebook page every Thursday for a new tip. To see past tips you can check out our Teamer Tips page on Tumblr. ❤ Ashley
- When you have multiple weeks to complete missions, spread out each task. Posting all in one day isn't as effective as posting a little each day over a longer period of time! Longer missions with lots of tasks may seem daunting but if you space everything out and do a little bit each day, you won't get overwhelmed and you have a better chance at reaching new fans.
- Heads up all you social media enthusiasts! This is a really important tip for you. DO NOT SPAM Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. No one likes spam. It's annoying and drives people away instead of pulling them in. (This also means adding x123456789 at the end of your tweet.) Post often but make sure you're posting positive and engaging content.
- Bonus tip if you're attempting a trending topic on twitter: If people use the same hashtag more than 3x in a tweet, Twitter will mark that hashtag as spam and make it harder for that topic to trend.
- One of my favorite times / places for physical promotion is talking to people while waiting in line for other concerts! There are so many people (who obviously love music) which makes it even easier to strike up a conversation. Nervous about approaching people for street missions? Bring a friend with you! It's helpful to have someone taking photos/videos for you …and you have company!
- Heading out to any music festivals this spring / summer? Festivals are the perfect place to find music lovers and make them into new fans! Grab some promo cards (get them from a fan club or make your own), stick them in your bag and hand them out in between catching your favorite bands. Not heading to a festival but you're still catching some shows? You can promote to people waiting outside a venue (last week's tip)!
- Hashtags are a necessity when it comes to promoting. Make sure you're tagging your tweets, Instagram posts, Facebook posts, Tumblr Posts, etc. This makes it easier for people to find out about Heffron Drive. Some popular and commonly searched tags are "#Music, #Bands, #Artists, #Songs, #Tour."
Upcoming Promo Projects
- April 1st – Encourage fans and friends to Pre-Order Rain Don't Come!
- April 8th – HD Philly and HD Minnesota want to trend #RainDontCome
- April 8th – TOLBooth OST Rain Don't Come release mission + fan music video

On paper, it looked so neat, as if all the pieces would fit. The Thunder, general manager Darrell Russell reasoned, was bound to improve this season.
The year before, 1992, the Thunder struggled to a 3-5 record and finished last in the MILL's American Division. The goals yield, 18.4 a game, was the worst in the seven-team league.
Nowhere to go but up, right? Alas, the Thunder stayed right where it was.
Surrendering 17.3 goals, again the league high, the Thunder finished last in the American Division at 2-6, then lost to the New York Saints, 10-9, Sunday in the first round of the playoffs.

Three HK booksellers to be released soon
March 3, Beijing: Hong Kong police said three Hong Kong booksellers being held in China will be released within days.
Police in Guangdong said in a letter to the Hong Kong force that Lui Bo, Lam Wingkei and Cheung Jiping would be bailed pending investigations.
However, it was unclear whether they would be able to return home and there was no comment on two other booksellers.
They have all appeared on state TV apparently confessing to smuggling illegal books into China, according to media reports.
The three men, as well as Swedish national Gui Minhai and British national Lee Bo, are linked to a Hong Kong shop and publisher which sold books critical of mainland China.
The case has sparked international concern that China could be attempting to rein in freedom of expression in Hong Kong, BBC reported.

Just a quick post for you guys with my BarryM Winter polishes. This has been sitting in my drafts for about 3 days now, so I thought it was about time I get it up. I will edit this with descriptions soon, but it's almost 12am and I'm shattered!

Discussion in 'Dog Brothers Martial Arts' started by Crafty Dog, Apr 22, 2014.
whats the point of this video my friend?
Sumo is based around the idea that on some level sheer mass is determinative. For me it is a black swan moment-- just as it takes only one black swan to disprove the notion that all swans are white, here to we see a disproof of this fundamental notion of Sumo. Once again we see one of the deep foundations of the appeal of martial arts, the notion that, as we say in DBMA, "With mind, heart, and balls anything may be possible".

If you wake in the dark
and it fills you with fear
because you see something
that looks like an ear,
and that's not half as bad
as the mouth that it's near,
you don't have to rush,
you don't have to worry
as long as you turn
on the lamp in a hurry.
But the lamp doesn't work
so what do you do?
You reach for the light
that is nearest to you.
We are the ones who decide what is true.
I wrote the book "Horses of Light" after I encountered my 3 year old son calling into the darkness after he slept walked to our front door and opened it in the middle of the night. I wanted to share with him how he might upgrade his feelings out of the fear he was experiencing.
As the old structures fall away, and even their blueprints dissolve, aren't we all being asked to upgrade our beliefs now, again and again, in search of 'horses of light' that we can trust to carry us on the next leg of our destination, whatever that might be? So what do we trust as the untrustworthy seems to reveal itself at every turn?
When I listen to my breath and allow myself to then hear my breath, I find it carries me out of the energy of others and back to my own. Often, only then do I realize how much I was ingesting of their reality and how it blocked the flow of my awareness. Like light, breath always flows. Shouldn't we too? Even as we wake in the dark aren't other senses awakened that gently hint at new beginnings?
Questioner: Is it like Space Mountain, a roller coaster in the dark, where you can't see anything but you can hear everybody screaming behind you and next to you and so you know you're not alone?
Akashic Guides: And you are being excited. You are excitable, which is a good thing. You're alive and you're being excited. 'Oh, there's a star! There's a big star and it's lit up over there! Oh, my goodness, what's happening over there? And then there's another one and there's another one.
So even though, Dear One, there is this vast amount of darkness and unknown from point to point , allow the points that do shine to radiate bigger…longer…more. Forget them not. Do not let them sink in your awareness.
And pull back so you can see more. See all of them as much as possible. See all these points of light, all these horses of light, all these joyful experiences you have had and you are to have because they are there. They are here.

Inspiration via Pinterest
Choosing flowers was one of the aspects of my wedding I was most nervous about. I had no idea what flowers I needed and what I wanted to splurge on. After some online research and discussions with friends, I decided what was important to me and what I really needed at my wedding.
Depending on your venue(s), you don't necessarily need many flowers. We are getting married on a ranch, which already provides a gorgeous setting and doesn't require tons of flowers to look beautiful. I've realized that you should only splurge on your must have favorite arrangements. For me, this is my bridal bouquet, flower crown, and bridesmaids bouquets. Consider what you can [relatively] easily create yourself. Also think about arrangements you may be able to do without [flowers at the ceremony?]. Create a list with all the flowers and arrangements you'll need and decide where you'll get each.
Here is my list:
• Bridal bouquet
• Bridesmaids bouquets
• Boutonnieres
• Corsages
• Flower crown [for my rehearsal]
• Centerpieces
• Roses [cake decor]
• Flower arch
• Rose petals [flower girl]
Inspiration via Pinterest
Florist: I found my florist via The Knot. I considered what I most wanted professionally prepared and what I could easily diy. One of my must haves is a flower crown--I've always wanted one. My dress would look better with a veil so I'm wearing my dream flower crown for my rehearsal. I requested a quote and paid the deposit after seeing that the package would fit in our budget; 75% of my floral budget is going towards our florist.
DIY Flower Arch: My cousin is helping me with a DIY flower arch. She has been laying out faux flowers [from the Dollar Tree] and homemade paper flowers to create decoration for the platform Joe and I will be married on. More on this project soon!
Bulk Flowers: I will be purchasing bulk flowers from Costco and Von's to create our own centerpieces. I plan to pair white hydrangeas, blush roses, and baby's breath in clear square vases [available at the Dollar Tree and Amazon] for simple decor. I'm also getting my corsages and boutonnieres from Costco [you can even mix and match the colors!]. We also need some roses for our cake and I plan to get those at Von's or their local farmer's market. Fresh flowers will make us 15% of our flower budget.
Amazon: I picked up some very inexpensive faux rose petals for the flower girl and decor. Amazon has a ton of budget friendly wedding decorations.
As we still have a few months until the wedding, I'm sure a few things will change. So far I feel content with our decisions regarding flowers.
If you have any wedding flower advice, I'd love to hear it in the comments!

An Awful And Surprising Truth Series
Contributed by Byron Harvey on Oct 29, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: This is installment 6, the final installment of my "Anchor Points" series.
¡§Anchor Points¡¨
¡§An Awful & Surprising Truth¡¨
Selected Scriptures
March 5, 2000
Anchor Point #6:
¡§God is Love¡¨
INTRODUCTION: ¡§The Niagara Tubing Society: A Parable for our Times¡¨
It was late; sometime after 11:00, to the best of my calculating, but since I¡¦d left my watch in my room, I couldn¡¦t be sure. All I knew was that there weren¡¦t many folks left out on the street at this time of the night. In fact, the only other person I could see was a young man, barely past his teens, making his way down the street in my direction. As he got closer, I could tell from his carefree demeanor, his bleached-blonde shoulder-length hair, and the ever-present grunge music blaring from his headphones that he was another of those early-twenty-somethings who had seemingly few worries other than living life to the hilt. At least he seemed to me like he fit the part. As he passed by, I couldn¡¦t help but notice the message on the front of his forest green T-shirt. It read: ¡§Tubing is life; everything else is just details¡¨, with the initials N.T.S. in bold print on the back: ¡§Niagara Tubing Society.¡¨ ¡§Niagara Tubing Society¡¨, I thought, ¡§he can¡¦t be serious!¡¨ I pondered the thought for a few moments and then, exhausted from a long day of sightseeing, began to make the climb up the hill to my motel room. My thoughts of the young man faded from mind well before my head hit the pillow.
The next day was bright and sunny, and the crowds began to line the streets, waiting for the opening of some dubious tourist trap-type places and just leisurely enjoying the day. It had been a cold winter, and the coming of spring must have signaled to many the need to catch a weekend break. The throng of people by the Falls themselves seemed to be especially large for this time of year, but the unusually warm weather had brought many out. People seemed to linger a little longer than usual, no doubt, to take in not only the beauty of nature but also to catch the refreshment of the spray on their sunned faces. ¡§I¡¦m not getting into THAT mob,¡¨ I thought, and began to make plans to take in some of the Niagara region¡¦s OTHER wonders. Climbing into my car, I decided to head several miles upstream, to a park where I could, I thought, stretch out on the grass and settle into a good book.
I pulled the car into a parking spot, pulled a blanket and a cooler out of the back seat, and headed over to a spot near the river where I could periodically take a break from my book and enjoy the serenity of the river. Finding an appropriate spot, I settled in and was quickly enmeshed in the thick of the book. I was well into Chapter Five when I was distracted by the noise of a group of revelers. I looked up from my book and was astonished by what I saw: a group of young people, thirty-five or forty, by my best estimation, unloading inner tubes and wetsuits from their SUV¡¦s and pickup trucks. Then, to my amazement, they began dragging their tubes over to the edge of the river. In the middle of the throng was the young man I had seen the night before; now, he was laughing it up with his cronies as he popped the top on a cold Bud Lite. ¡§This is insanity,¡¨ I thought, ¡§I cannot believe that they intend to go tubing on the Niagara River. But it was clear that this was just what they intended, and presently the first of the group jumped the fence and began to venture out into the water. What could have they been thinking? Weren¡¦t they aware of what lay several miles ahead? Was this some crazy stunt, a fraternity prank they thought was daring and cool? Never mind that this was certainly illegal; it was crazy! I mean, I had done some stupid things myself when I was nineteen, but this was well beyond stupid; it was guaranteed suicide!
As more and more of them began to jump the fence, I began to weigh my options. It wasn¡¦t really my business, in one sense. And yet, I knew that I couldn¡¦t allow them to simply head downstream without doing SOMETHING. I had to say something; I¡¦d forever have it on my conscience if I did nothing and allowed them to plunge to a certain death. I got up from my place and hurried over to where they were. By now, all tubes were in the water and the young people were grouping up to begin.
¡§Hey, do you guys know what you¡¦re doing?¡¨ I shouted. ¡§You shouldn¡¦t be out on the river, not even fooling around; this is the most dangerous river around! You¡¦ll get yourselves killed!¡¨

To read the entire Yahoo! Finance article visit: When investment banking jobs lead to a dead end
If you want to work a 40 hour week, investment banking is not the place to do it. One junior investment banker got in touch with us via Twitter to say he's usually done 40 hours by Tuesday – or maybe Wednesday. "I normally hit 40 hours by late on Tuesday," he claimed – before admitting that he was exaggerating (slightly): "I work a 15-17 hour day on average, so maybe Tuesday was an exaggeration. But I usually work an 80-90 hour week if you include weekends and I haven't had a summer holiday for the past two years because we were executing transactions."
Welcome to the life of the junior investment banker – a creature for whom work is almost everything. Unsurprisingly, many junior bankers burn out or simply quit banking altogether. Those who don't aspire to the next level, but opportunities to move onwards and upwards are disappearing – especially if you work in M&A at a big bank. And the lack of opportunities is causing tension internally.
DCM bankers' desirability was underscored by a recent study from academics at the University of Notre Dame. After studying 20,000 M&A transactions and public and private security issues by U.S. firms between 1996 and 2009, the academics came to the conclusion that relationships between banks and clients were weakest in M&A, and strongest in ECM and DCM.

SYDNEY -(MarketWatch)- An Australian court has postponed a hearing due Thursday in which Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.34% is trying to stop Samsung Electronics Co. (005930.SE) selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country, a court official said.
U.S.-based Apple has taken Samsung Electronics to court in Australia to stop the South Korean company from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1, claiming the device breaches patents related to Apple's iPad, which Samsung Electronics disputes.
A directions hearing was scheduled for 2315 GMT in Sydney's Federal Court under Justice Bennett. Court officials weren't immediately able to provide details of when the next hearing will be.
The two companies are engaged in a legal tit-for-tat around the world as they fight for dominance of the electronic gadget market. Apple fired the initial salvo in the U.S., filing a patent infringement lawsuit in April against Samsung Electronics, claiming the company "slavishly" copied its iPad and iPhone. The companies have also locked horns in South Korea, Germany, Japan, and the U.K.
Spokespeople for Apple and Samsung weren't immediately available for comment Thursday.

About two years ago, I was in the throes of what I can honestly describe as depression. I am willing to admit that I made a mistake in not speaking up and asking for help and seeking psychological counseling. I was a young mom living halfway across the country from family, and I was piling on the blame for feeling exhausted and emotional, for not being strong enough to handle running our household and raising our son. I convinced myself that I was nothing but a failure who would never be a Proverbs 31 Woman that I somehow had been convinced was a commandment from God. Too often I find that our culture has caused us to have the ultimate case of self-doubt and a spirit of comparison to the woman described in that passage. I certainly did.
By the grace of God, I was given support and tools to lift out of that fog. My sister-in-law had just finished reading A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evens and recommended it to me. It also happened to be on sale for $0.99 for the e-book. How could I ignore that opportunity? I won't go into detail about the book because it is complicated and mildly controversial to some, but I recommended looking it up for yourself. I found freedom in what she learned about Proverbs 31.
The author reached out to several women and men of many different Christian denominations and Judaism. Upon receiving a letter from a rabbi's wife from Jerusalem, she learned that the Proverbs 31 text we are all so familiar with is a poem that is taught to young jewish men as a prayer for the Sabbath dinner. He is to recite it as a blessing over his wife, proclaiming to his family and guests that this woman is brave and honorable because she loves the Lord. It is not a list of to-do's or traits to look for in a future partner.
It's a blessing. A prayer. An honor. A declaration.
I read this over and over, and wept at the thought that I didn't HAVE to do anything! I was instantly reminded that Jesus already did it all. I am worthy because HE is worthy. I am saved because HE did all the work. I am honorable because HE honored the father with his life and sacrifice. I am those things, a wise woman, a strong worker, a tender wife, a compassionate mother, because God made it so. So why was I letting the world, even our own Western Christian world, convince me that I wasn't?!
I remember texting my husband and thanking him for all the times he held me when I cried over a messy apartment. I thanked him because he always reminded me that my job wasn't to be perfect, but to love our family and God, and that was enough. From that point on, I stopped trying to meet a list of self-imposed demands and I stopped listening to that spirit of comparison and condemnation to embrace the freedom I knew I had in Christ to enjoy the life I had.
So the next time you feel less than all of those things, speak boldly against that and proclaim with certainty WHO YOU ARE.
In Bravery and Honor,

Christopher Doss
What advice do you have for undergraduates who are just starting out in research?It may seem intimidating at first, but undergraduate research is the best way to get the most out of your undergraduate academic experience. You can learn so much from a faculty adviser, and research looks amazing on any resume or application. It just takes some time to learn the technical background, and there are always plenty of sources to learn from even if you haven't had a class on it. Just always have clear, set goals in mind and eventually you will get to the new and interesting stuff.
Doss, C.E.; Komar, C.M.; Cassak, P.A.; Wilder, F.D.; Eriksson, S.; Drake, J.F. Asymmetric magnetic reconnection with a flow shear and applications to the magnetopause. J. Geophys. Res. Space Physics, 2015, 120, [Online early access]. DOI: 10.1002/2015JA021489.
When you were 10 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A video game designer.
What are your current plans/career goals beyond the undergraduate?
I plan on continuing my education into graduate school for Physics. I want to pursue a doctorate degree, and from there anything goes I suppose.
When did you get involved in undergraduate research?
The summer after my freshman year.
How long have you been involved in undergraduate research?
I have been involved with my current research since the summer before my junior year.
Why did you choose get involved in undergraduate research?
My older brothers (previous Physics majors from WVU) recommended undergraduate research as a way to stand out of the crowd and get experience in research before graduate school.
How did you find/connect with your first faculty research adviser?
I had a class with Dr. Cassak, and once he briefly discussed his research in class. I was interested in using supercomputer simulations for Physics research, so the following summer I sent him an email asking if he would let me work with his group. After meeting with Dr. Cassak, he agreed to let me on board and gave me a research problem to work on.
What is your current research?
I run supercomputer simulations of plasmas to study magnetic reconnection. This is when oppositely pointing magnetic fields break and reconnect with each other, converting magnetic energy of the fields into the kinetic energy of the plasma being expelled due to this process. Magnetic reconnection is important for studying solar flares, crashes in fusion reactors, and space weather around Earth. In particular, I am looking at what effects the solar wind has when magnetic reconnection occurs around Earth: how fast reconnection occurs and how the location moves depending on the magnetic field strengths, plasma densities, and solar wind speeds. Large-scale simulations allow us to run many possible configurations and test our predictions.
What skills have you learned by doing research that you would not have learned otherwise (i.e., from lecture alone)?
A lot of what I've learned can be broadly grouped into communication skills. For instance, how to discuss research with my research adviser, graduate students, friends, and my physicist parents; how to read and get information from scientific papers; how to prepare and present a poster to people with varying knowledge in the field; how to write technical papers about your research to other experts in the field; how to best record data over many months; and the wonders of writing documented and well-organized code. Apart from communication skills, I have become much better at time management and data analysis.

Temecula, March 27 - Phoenix, March 28 - Miguel Angel Candela
Many thanks to Breakfast in Spain for these posts. For photos and Spanish versions, please visit their site http://Supertramp.es
Temecula, Casino Pechanga, March 27Again, one more year, I decided to cross the water and see the first gigs of the tour and meeting old friends. As the song says, you know "Take a jumbo, cross the water, like to see America. See the girls in, California ...." And it was fantastic! I never get tired of exploring the far West......First gig was in California, a huge casino, and the next day in Phoenix, Arizona, about 600 km I had to drive across the desert (and Roger's team too!) The first show was sold out, and the Casino theater was spectacular, large, comfortable, with two large video screens ..... The set list was the usual, though that night was not "Hide in your shell", surprise. But other great classics like "If Everyone Was Listening" or "A soapbox opera".It's pretty clear to me that Roger and Aaron and sound engineer have been working on songs during last this winter, and small but important details have been added (more instruments in some parts, more vocals ,..... and how to synchronize all that for a perfect sound, that implies more work for Aaron and sound engineer on stage.)Look at the two keyboards next to Aaron, Nord and Yamaha Motif 7. He's playing "hammond" sound and "strings" in most of the songs, at the same time he's singing and playing harmonica, flute, saxophone and clarinet solos .... Amazing...His contribution in most of songs is very important, like "A soapbox opera", "School", "It's raining again" or "Child of vision" among other numbers.Moreover, in "The Fool's Overture" number, I was astonished when Aaron, while doing one of the sax solos, and at certain point he kept playing saxophone using one hand, blowing, while the other hand played a few notes on his Nord keyboard, using the trumpet sound ...... amazing! Then we joked about it after the show. I reminded him that his legs were free for other instruments, hahaha The fact is that with all these details, together with the sound engineer's work at the mix table (reverbs, echoes, settings, etc ...) show is great and plenty, everyone in the audience very satisfied, and only in a few moments a band could be missed. Although for whoever likes a full band sound, Roger will perform some shows with band in this tour, so you can check the tour agenda. Roger was great, fantastic, and chatting with the audience as usual, and at the final encore people jumped from the seats and dancing, some people at the edge of the stage in order to be closer. As usual he was telling stories and jokes about his songs and feelings. For example he was laughing himself talking about lyrics of "Breakfast in America" song, he said "Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I got..." "so simple,....it is what it is" he said. Well "that was my inspiration at that moment, these Lyrics works for me..." hahaha (or something similar... I'm sorry I'm not native english) and empathize with people. It had been some years since he played in California last time, his home, so he felt very comfortable. If you have the chance to see some videos from this concert in youtube ( I saw some) you will check how great the sound is. Chilling !
Phoenix, Marriott Hotel, March 28Something similar for the second concert, in Phoenix, and that night he played "Hide in Your Shell." Show was in a large garden within a Marriot hotel patio, so even from the rooms and terraces audience were able to see the concert. Here the atmosphere was more festive or casual and people were jumping and dancing even more than previous night (but smaller venue and audience anyway). It was a real summer-night (in meddle of March !), so it was a fantastic night in the gardens, with fountains and water and plants around, and the magic from Roger sounding and floating in the air. The Set list was similar to the night before, with just few changes, as already commented in "Hide in your shell" and he also performed "Even in the quietest moments", a true magic song for an outdoor show in a summer-night..... Total relax ! Thank you Roger !!!Now, with all new details added, it's a wonderful experience listening songs like "A soapbox opera" or "Child of vision", terrific !!!After show Roger attended to all fans who were waiting impatiently, one by one, photos and autographs, and so I saw many happy faces: o) Some good friends from California who had been the previous day's show also moved to Temecula for this show in Phoenix (by flight) so we had a great time. After the concert, Roger and his team went in a few days to Australia and New Zealand where he had not acted since his times of Supertramp. (And I went the Grand Canyon and Utah's National Parks, hiking around again) The bad new was from bass player Jesse Siebenberg. He had plans for touring with Roger this year (band shows), like previous years, but suddenly he cancelled days ago after Rick's call for joining unexpected Supertramp tour 2010.Anyway, Roger looks happy and pleased, encouraged with the new tour, shows-booking is going well and it's expected to be very complete and wide tour, with concerts of different types (with Aaron, with band, orchestra) Don't miss it!MAC

Water-borne diseases can be deadly. Legionnaires' disease is a serious lung infection that is caused by legionella bacteria. The disease can be in traced in contaminated water sources and water systems where the legionella bacterium is commonly found. The bacteria can multiply fast in artificial water supply systems such as hot and cold water systems as well as showers.
In the United Kingdom, they have strict regulations when it comes to ensuring water quality, including the control of legionella bacteria in water systems. Non-compliance would result to prosecutions. With the help of technology, it is now possible to make unsafe water safe again to be used for different purposes. But to be certain that the water is safe, it has to be tested. And this is the service that AquaCert provides.
How To Prove That Your Water Is Free From Legionella Bacteria
AquaCert provides an easy and reasonably priced legionella water testing procedure for screening water for legionella bacteria. They offer a complete service that costs from only £44.50 + VAT. They offer their services all over the United Kingdom. The good thing about choosing them is that they offer free advice as well as guidance on how to eliminate the bacteria and also on future control and monitoring in case of a positive legionella result.

One of the success stories of the season so far at Newcastle has been our new 21 year-old striker Ayoze Perez, who we signed for €2M from Tenerife in the summer, and the lad has not only looked good and played well in his 13 first team appearances this season, but he has also scored three good goals.
The fans love Ayoze Perez – and he loves Newcastle
And at the moment Perez is the starter up front for Newcastle and is expected to be in the same role at West Ham on Saturday afternoon, where Newcastle go into the game trying to make it seven wins on the tort.
Ayoze is not a big guy, although he stands over 5'10" tall, and he has admitted to doing some weight training to build up his slight frame:
"I know I am smaller than a lot of players and that I have to improve physically but I enjoy going to the gym and training on my own because I can see the benefits of it further down the line."
"I am a bit surprised about how quickly I have adapted and how well things are going." "But I have never questioned whether I would be a success because being confident is a really important part of being a footballer."
"I know my own ability and what I can achieve." "I have colleagues in the team – the strikers – who are of high quality but I am trying my hardest to make a space in the team every week."
"The club has really looked after me as well, which has helped." "Being in Newcastle is a very different way of life to Tenerife, of course. For a start, the climate is completely different but the city itself is beautiful and I really love being here."
"I'm trying to explore the area and learn more about Newcastle as a city by going to different events." "I've even tried fish and chips!"
Well those fish and chips should help to build him up some – especially the greasy variety.
The Spanish U21 striker has scored three valuable goals for us in the last four league games, and two of those were the difference between drawing 0-0 and winning 1-0 so there's 4 points right there.
And one thing Newcastle have been very good at over the last few years is taking care of their new players, especially the younger ones like Ayoze.
West Ham are a team in form, but lost 2-1 at Everton last time out – and it will not be an easy game at Upton Park on Saturday, although in the same fixture last season we won 3-1 with two goals from Yohan Cabaye – his last appearance for the club before he joined PSG.
And we should hear a clarification from Alan Pardew at his press conference today on who will be available to play in the game – with Steven Taylor, Cheick Tiote and Mehdi Abeid all players who may have recovered from injury and be available to play.
Comments welcome.

I would like you to imagine the following:
You board the 530 afternoon train ,and your baby is sleeping on your shoulder. All the seats are filled. No one in the the train offers you a seat, so you have to carry your sleeping baby on your shoulder for the 45 minutes ride until you get to your stop.
This is true story. It happens everyday and everywhere. I saw this yesterday while I was coming home from work. The parent was a dad and his 2 year old son. I was standing myself, but I would have liked to give him my seat if I had seat.
Today, we will talk about why people don't give a break to parents or more general why we are sometimes inconsiderate of others.
There were a number of reasons why riders did' not give up their seats. Most rider are tired at the end of the day and just want to relax. Some of them are reading and only see what is in their books. Others forgot what it is to be a parent. The last one is the saddest.
Being considerate is easier than being inconsiderate. I usually give my seat to the old,young, and pregnant. When I lose the opportunity to do so, I get a nagging feeling that I did something wrong. If we don't give our seats to those who need it more than us, then we did do something wrong. When I see someone that is old, I think of that person as my grandmother or grand father. Sometime,I look at them ,and I think about the long journey of they have had to endure and that giving they a seat would make it a tiny bit easier. When I see parents, I know what they are going through ,and I happily give them my seat.
We don't need a reason to do a good deed, but the reasons above should suffice.
Stand up for what is right!

Tire Insurance coverage: Myths and Points About Street Hazard Policies
insurance coverage–it's really almost everywhere. A person can ensure just about nearly anything. Are tires an investment a single requirements to ensure? Tire insurance coverage, also known as a street hazard plan, street hazard guarantee. Tire reimbursement prepare, is a fast growing business in the automotive environment.
Tire guarantee strategies pay out in full or in portion for the substitution or mend of weakened tires and/or rims from "street hazards.". Street hazards are outlined as pot holes, debris, nails, wood. Other hazards uncovered in the street. Curbs, sidewalks. Stone walls aren't street hazards. This is an essential difference to think about when deciding if tire insurance coverage is suitable for you (discussed even further ahead).
Tire strategies final for a precise time period of time and tire dress in tread-depth. Some strategies final 2-3 decades. Other people can final 5 decades or 60,000 miles. Many strategies come with fastened amounts of protection: $500 for every year up to 4 decades. Lots of contracts call for three decades of regulation college to understand. In phrases of tread depth, a tire is normally deemed worn out (and as a result the prepare null and void) at 2/32 to 3/32 of an inch.
A different essential difference is in the kind of prepare.
Tire reimbursement strategies are just what they say. You, the prepare holder, will be reimbursed just after the claims approach is finalized–normally 2-8 weeks. There is an out-of-pocket expenditure. These strategies are frequently marketed by new motor vehicle dealerships. The rates can variety from $300 to $600 pounds.
Street hazard guidelines run equally to reimbursement strategies. Nevertheless, some tire insurance coverage companies, in partnership with the mend facility, may perhaps have a immediate-pay out relationship. So, there would be no out-of-pocket expenditure, apart from for applicable deductibles. Goods not included in portion or in full. These strategies are generally marketed by tire sellers and mend stores. The rates variety from $10 to $30 for every tire. They also can be based mostly on a proportion of the expense of the tire: normally 12% to 15%.
Each kinds of strategies have a amount of variables, necessitating a magnifying glass to browse the good print. Also, several are pro-rated warranties, covering only a proportion of the expense of the tire based mostly on its dress in.
Statements and Coverage
Dependent on the prepare, claims are initiated by the mend store. The approach is reasonably clean, though there can be a significant hold off from the service provider for authorization. This hold off may perhaps be an hour or an full weekend. This usually means that you're going to have to "ok". The tire substitution. Then hope it's really authorized for the full sum. Generate on your spare.
Some strategies give national protection possibly amid their assistance services or from other mend centers. Statements methods will vary. Other people only deliver regional protection. Protection at the offering facility.
Tire insurance coverage doesn't suggest that every thing is included. Professional-rated warranties are based mostly on the dress in and tear of the tire. You may perhaps get 75%, 50%. Only 10% protection based on the tread-depth. You can expect to pay out the remainder. Whilst there are strategies that give full protection, even these have limitations. They may perhaps conflict with a mend shop's guidelines.
For instance, several strategies make it possible for for a maximum of $30 to mount and balance a single tire. A maximum of $15 to mend a tire. Nevertheless, sport tires frequently have appreciably larger mounting and balancing expenses–upwards of $50 for every tire–and tire mend rates can exceed $90. There are also discrepancies on the tire and rim rates them selves, which in the stop, may perhaps have to be supplemented by the assistance client.
Even though there normally isn't an difficulty with the latter provided the aggressive current market, the assistance center's cost mark up may perhaps be unacceptable to the prepare service provider. In this circumstance, the assistance center requirements to reduced the cost or you, the assistance client, want to pay out the difference–or go someplace else. This does materialize!
Rim Substitute and Repair service
Rim substitution is starting to be considerably less frequent. With the higher expense of aluminum wheels and sport wheel packages, tire ensurers have opted to have them repaired. Repair service will only be performed if the rim doesn't keep air. What this usually means is that even if the rim is warped–plenty of to result in a vibration and even untimely tire dress in–they won't switch it. Instead, they'll ship it out to be straightened and repaired.
Rims are replaced only if the damage is so extensive that the new tire, when mounted on the rim, won't keep air. Nevertheless, even in this circumstance, specially if it's really an high-priced sport wheel, they may perhaps however try to mend it.
Repairing rims is a undesirable choice. Whilst some rim mend is acceptable, terribly warped or weakened rims will in no way at any time be the same.
If a motor vehicle hits a street hazard hard plenty of, this sort of as a pot gap, it's really smart to have the alignment checked. Street hazard guidelines and tire reimbursement strategies don't cover alignments. The assistance client will have to pay out for this procedure.
Street Hazard Safety Positives
Some strategies consist of tire rotations, wheel balancing. Nationwide protection.
Can I pop all 4 tires and get a new set of tires?
You can check out. But this kind of assert will cause a amount of red flags with the insurance company. The plan holder will probably ship out adjusters and/or call for pictures. You'll also have a tough time conveying how a "street hazard". Triggered all 4 tire pop.
New tires come with a guarantee.
New tires do come with a guarantee by the tire producer (Michelin, Yokohama, Goodyear…and many others). Not a street hazard guarantee. The guarantee by the tire producer only addresses problems in workmanship. New tire warranties don't cover punctures or damages from exterior resources. This is why "street hazard". Safety is currently being pushed.
New tires are seldom defective. If there is a challenge, it's really normally observed when balancing the tire. Or, there is a drivability concern this sort of as vibration or sound. If there's a defect it's really frequently caught suitable away. The tire swapped out.
it's so affordable it's really a no-brainer, suitable?
Truly, the authorities really don't agree with this statement.
The Economics of Tire Warranties
An article from the Washington Post by Terence O'Hara describes the economics of prolonged warranties and invest in safety strategies in basic. it's very fitting for street hazard warranties. He writes:
The choice to acquire an prolonged guarantee…defies the suggestions of economists, client advocates and product good quality authorities, who all alert that the strategies seldom advantage people and are almost generally a waste of dollars.
'[Extended warranties or purchase protection plans] make no rational feeling,'. Harvard economist David Cutler explained. 'The implied probability [of having an issue with the product] has to be considerably larger than the threat that you're unable to manage to deal with it or switch it. If you might be purchasing a $400 merchandise. The overwhelming amount of people that degree of spending isn't a threat you want to ensure beneath any circumstances.'
In quick, street hazard warranties are a waste of dollars. Never ensure that which you can manage to switch.
Quantities Video game and Slim Possibilities
Like all insurance coverage, tire insurance coverage strategies are a numbers sport. Nevertheless, this is a sport you've a 98% opportunity of shedding. Insider figures clearly show that the proportion of claims compensated out by companies is as small a 2%.
A different exciting notice is that a great deal of tire damage is triggered by curbs. Curb damage isn't included beneath most street hazard guidelines. High granite curbs with sharp edges slice by means of tens of hundreds of tires for every year.
You'll never Notice
Lots of men and women really don't even observe tire damage. Other than to see if the tires are holding air, who "actually". Appears to be like at tires? Tires are topic to a entire host of exterior influences which result in bubbles, slices and gouges. Even with the prospective risks of weakened tires, the damage pretty frequently doesn't translate into any obvious drivability difficulty. The stage is that if you really don't observe any tire damage you're unable to advantage from the protection.
Study Reveals
These raving about the positive aspects of a street hazard plan are the actual people in the business who stand to advantage from the sale. they'll argue that it's really so affordable–only $10 to $20 for every tire. Even so. 4 tires, that's $80 based mostly on the "probability,". The "opportunity,". Of harmful a tire that fulfills the mend/substitution requirement protocols.
Car Insurance coverage
If a rim and tire has incurred significant damage, it's really very probably that other challenges have resulted as perfectly. The very first is that the automobile may perhaps have been jarred out of alignment. Next, hub bearings, entrance stop elements: tie rods, spindles, ball joints. A variety of other elements may perhaps have sustained damage. In this circumstance, , which you're presently spending for, will pay out for every thing–brand new.
Totally free Street Hazard Warranties
Lots of tires come with street hazard warranties Totally free. In other text, in an energy to safe shops, several tire distributors deliver assistance centers Totally free street hazard insurance coverage. Some stores move this on to their tire clients, other folks market them. Request if the tire "arrives". With a street hazard safety plan. If not, request that a single be presented at no extra demand. it's value a shot.
Also, some motor vehicle brands deliver street hazard warranties Totally free of demand for 12 months or 12,000 miles. If you might be purchasing a new motor vehicle or even made use of, inquire that the supplier deliver a complimentary street hazard plan (just after all the wheeling and working is performed, of study course). Just right before you dedicate.
What's the most effective street hazard plan?
Income in your bank account.
