Girls' Generation's Sooyoung, Jung Kyung Ho Dating: 'Gangster High' Actor Reveals He Almost Lost Sooyoung For This Reason
By Inami | May 01, 2017 07:12 PM EDT
Dating an idol is not always easy. At least, that's probably what actor/boyfriend of Girls' Generation's Sooyoung sometimes feels. Jung Kyung Ho spilled what it's like to date the member of a veteran girl group in a recent interview with a magazine.
Jung Kyung Ho was featured for an interview and photoshoot with Woman Sense Magazine. The 33-year-old actor opened up about his dating life with Sooyoung and how he maintains a 5-year-old relationship without a single meaningful issue to fight about. Korea Boo reported, when asked about his decision to date in public, Jung Kyung Ho admitted that he doesn't really care about others' perceptions because dating in public isn't a sin.
The actor revealed that sometimes he feels apologetic for Sooyoung because of his indifference. He's very conscious about the risk Sooyoung needs to take to be seen dating in public, but the Girls' Generation member is getting used to it and now kind of enjoys to take a romantic stroll with people's eyes gazed upon them. Regardless, Jung Kyung Ho still feels the need to apologize to Sooyoung, as per Soompi.
Jung Kyung Ho also shared that one time Sooyoung was so mad at him he thought he was going to lose her. He was pretty sure Sooyoung was extremely mad at him when she found out about his dating habit. Now that he knows what she doesn't like about him, he learns to be more careful and respective towards Sooyoung.
Jung Kyung Ho and Sooyoung made their relationship public back in January 2014. While it's unlikely for celebrities to maintain a relationship that long, Jung Kyung Ho and Sooyoung have proven a long-time relationship is not impossible although the hectic schedules can sometimes be in their way. The secret of it, according to Jung Kyung Ho is to always be supportive and understanding towards each other.
Sooyoung and Jung Kyung dating life recently made everyone crazy about it as the couple was spotted holding hands in public after a shopping date in Itaewon.

We didn't spend all our time in Margate mooching about her marvel-filled streets! We'd seen images of gleaming cliffs and we felt their call. Isn't it sweet when things are just like you saw in the picture? In our filter-saturated world, things are rarely as they are.
Botany Bay is impressive. Time it right, and it's positively spellbinding. The chalk cliffs took my breath away. I left inspired by their form, their colour, their texture and their contradiction with the excess of seaweed converging about them. The intersecting stacks of powder bricks are still inspiring vertiginous ideas in my daydreams.
This was the perfect place to end our trip to Margate. I watched with bemused bewilderment as my sister went for a swim in the petrifyingly cold sea!! She's made of far tougher stuff than I am.

Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami (1505-1579) is in many ways the most mysterious of the six Gosvamis of Vrindavana. Caitanya Mahaprabhu considered his singing, cooking and recitation of the Srimad Bhagavatam as unparalleled in the history of Vaishnavism. But he did not leave any literary contributions and very little is known of his antecedents.
It is known that his ancestry hails from East Bengal and his father was Tapan Mishra a respected Brahaman scholar who had inquired from Caitanya Mahaprabhu about the meaning of life. Even though Caitanya Mahaprabhu was at the time playing His pastime of an eminent scholar and logician, he revealed to Tapan Mishra for the first time His intention of establishing the yuga dharma of Sankirtana. On the instructions of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Tapan Mishra relocated to Benares in 1503 and two years later Raghunatha Bhatta was born.
Later in 1514, Caitanya Mahaprabhu stopped in Benares on His way back to Puri from Vrindavana. He resided at the house of Chandrashekar and took His daily lunch at the house of Tapan Mishra. Here the Lord was served by the nine year old Raghunatha Bhatta and inspired by the blessing and association, Raghunatha Bhatta would soon become totally immersed in Krishna prema.
When Sri Caitanya, having accomplished His mission of converting the mayavadi philosophers of Benares to devotees of Sri Krishna, left for Puri, Raghunatha Bhatta was heart broken. He would constantly dwell on his memories of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and as he grew he developed longing to be re-united with the Lord and serve Him personally. Finally when he was twenty, Raghunatha Bhatta and a servant left Benares for Puri.
On the way, as was the custom of the times, Raghunatha Bhatta made several detours to visit the holy places. Here is also met and befriended Ramdas and great devotee of Lord Rama. Although very advanced himself, Ramdas soon realized that Raghunatha Bhatta was indeed a highly renounced devotee. Though he was quite a bit older and despite several protests from Raghunatha Bhatta, Ramdas insisted on serving him menially throughout the journey, by massaging his legs and carrying his luggage for him.
When Raghunatha Bhatta eventually reached Puri, he was joyfully greeted by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Here he received special mercy of the Lord, Who allowed him to render service to Him and instructed him on the various intricacies of the Vedic philosophy. Soon Raghunatha Bhatta became an expert cook and it is said that what ever he cooked tasted like nectar. Caitanya Mahaprabhu was very appreciative of his cooking and singing. After eight months of association, Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed Raghunatha Bhatta to return to Puri and serve his parents. Observing his renunciation, Caitanya Mahaprabhu advised him not to marry. He also advised him to hear and understand the Bhagavatam from a realized soul.
These instructions of the omniscient Lord would shape the future of Raghunatha Bhatta. In asking him to serve his old parents. Mahaprabhu demonstrated that dharma (worldly duties) and para-dharma (spiritual duties) could be nicely dovetailed together by an expert devotee. So Raghunatha Bhatta continued to serve his parents till the time they passed away, four years later, and in the mean time perfected his understanding and rendering of the Srimad Bhagavatam from an elevated devotee of the Lord.
Raghunatha Bhatta once again returned to Puri and happily served His eternal master for another eight months. However after this Caitanya Mahaprabhu once again sent him away, this time to Vrindavan, to seek the shelter of Rupa and Sanatana Goswami and help them in their mission. On reaching Vrindavana, Raghunatha Bhatta placed himself in the guidance of Rupa and Sanatana Goswami, who were pleased to associate with such an elevated devotee.
Soon Raghunatha Bhatta took full shelter of Rupa Goswami's Govindadev deity and eventually had several wealthy disciples construct a gorgeous temple in the honor of Govinda. Raghunatha Bhatta himself prepared several ornaments for the Deity, including a flute and a set of ear rings shaped like a shark. He quickly endeared himself to the inhabitants of Vrindavana by his blissful recitations of the Bhagavatam.
Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami would render the complicated verses of the Bhagavatam in three of four different melodies. At other times he recited the Hare Krishna maha-mantra with such devotion that the listeners would swoon with ecstasy. He himself would often display all the symptoms of maha-bhava at the recitations and discourses on the holy name.
Even though Raghunatha Bhatta did not leave behind any writings his life was an example of a pure devotee. One cannot penetrate the mysteries of the Srimad Bhagavatam without the guidance of a spiritual master in a disciplic succession. And so Caitanya Mahaprabhu initially instructed Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami to study in this way. Having properly studied the Bhagavatam, Raghunatha Bhatta demonstrated how to assimilated it into one's life. He made the Srimad Bhagavatam his life and soul. He never spoke or listened to any mundane subjects. He was divinely intoxicated, talking and hearing about Sri Krishna, day and night.
Yet, Raghunatha Bhatta was keenly aware of his surrounding. Even though he was deeply absorbed in the love of Godhead, he saw every thing around him and utilized it in the service of Krishna. He lived the life of a genuine saint, with all encompassing love and humility and set up a model for devotees in the future to follow, if they have the desire to read and understand the unique love of Godhead coming through the Srimad Bhagavatam.

"I meant what I said,
And I said what I meant,
An elephant's faithful,
One hundred per cent!"
No, I'm not regressing back to my childhood, at least not too much. I just thought it was time to introduce the two plants on our property here in Brazil that I call our Dr. Seuss plants (or sometimes Plant One and Plant Two, in honor of Dr. Seuss's Thing One and Thing Two). I have no idea what the plants' real names are, and I don't particularly care. To me, they've jumped straight off Dr. Seuss's drawing pad, and I love them.
And that's that.
|Plant One, or perhaps . . .
|. . . Gertrude McFuzz?
|Plant Two, or perhaps . . .
|. . . a Fiffer-Feffer-Feff ?
Whose name is Monteiro Lobato, and they
Have made him an icon in much the same way.
His characters are entertaining, I grant,
They delight and amaze and surprise and enchant,
But it cannot be said they resemble a plant.

I have just a couple notes: 1. You can use raisins or dates. Both a very good. 2. You can use chopped or sliced almonds.
• One 15 oz can chickpeas, thoroughly drained in a strainer
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup chunky peanut butter with no added sugars or sweeteners
• ½ cup local organic honey
• 3 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp almond extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Heaping 1/3 cup raw oats
• Heaping 1/3 cup sliced almonds
• ¼ cup packed raisins
• Parchment paper (very important)
While the chickpeas are draining, roast the almonds in a skillet over medium/low heat, stirring and tossing frequently, until the almonds are fragrant and start to brown. Remove from heat, and slide the almonds into a small bowl. Mash the chickpeas and olive oil together with a potato masher until you no longer see any solid pieces of chickpea.
Add the honey, peanut butter, vanilla, both extracts, baking powder, and salt to the chickpea paste, and blend with a mixer on high speed for about five minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl every minute or so, until the batter looks like chunky peanut butter and starts sticking together. Toss in the oats, toasted almonds, and raisins, and fold into the batter with a rubber spatula until everything is just mixed.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is chilled and firm, at least 30 minutes and up to several hours.
Preheat the oven to 350º. Using a tablespoon-size soupspoon, scoop the dough by the heaping spoonful, and, using a second spoon, scrape onto the parchment (you don't need to allow a lot of space on the sheet between cookies, as they don't spread much while baking).
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tips and edges of the cookies become dark golden brown. If they look a bit like they've burned, it's okay, for some reason they don't taste burned even when they are, don't ask me why. Cool on a wire rack. For best results, once cooled, seal in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.

Dear Parents/Carers,
You may already be aware that there is a day of industrial action on Wednesday 26th March 2014 involving one teaching union. This is not related to the academy but is part of wider national industrial action.
I am contacting you on behalf of the Governing Body, to inform you that the school will be closed for Years 7-10 on Wednesday 26th March. This is due to the greatly reduced staffing levels that are expected on the day. Please note, Year 11 pupils should attend school as normal.
On a day such as this when some staff will be in and others not, some pupils would experience interruptions to their learning for most, if not all of the day. In addition, national union agreements do not permit the use of other teachers to cover for members of staff that are taking industrial action. However, we can accommodate Year 11 and will use this time to focus on vital exam preparation and coursework completion.
I apologise for any disruption this will cause and thank you in advance for your understanding.
Yours sincerely
Becky Elcocks

AWKA—TRADITIONAL rulers from all the communities in the seven local government areas of Anambra Central senatorial zone will collectively honour Governor Willie Obiano with a chieftaincy title on June 16, 2017, in recognition of what they described as his outstanding performance as the governor of the state.
To ensure the success of the programme, the traditional rulers have set up a seven –member planning committee headed by the traditional ruler of Ifite Dunu, Igwe Emeka Ilouno.
Other members of the committee are Igwe Patrick Okeke of Abagana representing Njikoka local government; Eze Chidubem Iweka of Obosi representing Idemili North; Eze Nnebo III of Akweze representing Anaocha; Igwe Sunday Okafor representing Awka South; Igwe Mac Anthony Okonkwo of Alor representing Idemili South and Igwe Nnaegbuna of Ebenebe representing Awka North.
Addressing reporters at the end of the committee's meeting in Awka, Igwe Ilouno said the traditional rulers in the area decided to honour Obiano to appreciate his good works in the areas of security, agriculture, infrastructural development, education, as well as his ability to pay all categories of civil servants as and when due.
Ilouno also said the governor was being honoured for his equitable distribution of amenities to all parts of the state.
Adding that despite the ongoing economic recession in the country, he has been assisting all the 179 communities in the state with N20 million choose –your –project initiated by his administration.
He said: "When someone who has done well is appreciated, he will do more and that is why we want to encourage him by giving him the chieftaincy title. We in Anambra State are lucky because we are blessed with achievable governors.
"Former Governor Peter Obi promised to give us a governor that will be better than him and we thank him for giving us Obiano."
According to the royal father, the chieftaincy title to Obiano has nothing to do with politics, adding that for all the traditional rulers in all the communities in Anambra Central to come together to honour him was an indication of the love the people had for him.

The Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) announced on May 22 that it has filed a notice of intent to take Wheelabrator Saugus, Inc. to court for its failure to monitor and track water quality in the area surrounding the company's 140-acre ash landfill in Saugus, Massachusetts. Monitoring of this kind is required by the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
"The Saugus ash landfill sits at the heart of a thriving community, yet landfills of this type are infamous for releasing lead, mercury, and other cancer-causing chemicals into our air and water," said CLF attorney Kirstie Pecci. "Despite this significant hazard, the landfill has operated for decades without monitoring its impact or creating an adequate barrier from the families and businesses that call Saugus home. It's time for Wheelabrator to answer for its years of neglect and finally commit to water quality monitoring as the law requires and the community demands."
Wheelabrator Saugus General Manager Peter Kendrigan challenged the assertions made in the notice of intent.
"The assertions by CLF are false, demonstrate a lack of understanding of the regulations and appear to be designed only to interfere with Wheelabrator Technologies' application with the state Department of Environmental Protection to continue operating the monofill," Kendrigan said. "Wheelabrator is an environmental services company that processes post-recycled solid waste from eastern Massachusetts municipalities and businesses into clean, renewable energy. Protecting public health and the environment is our highest priority and we operate in a manner that is protective of the environment. We are in full compliance with stringent state and federal air, water and solid waste regulation, and our operating permits have been maintained and renewed without exception in Saugus."
In a press release, CLF noted that Wheelabrator is currently proposing to expand its Saugus landfill, notwithstanding the fact that it has yet to quantify the extent of its existing pollution to the largely low-income neighborhoods that surround the site.
Among the likely pollutants associated with ash landfills are dioxins, which are considered among the most toxic chemicals on earth, according to CLF. The notice calls for the immediate monitoring of groundwater in the vicinity of the landfill to determine various levels of these and other harmful compounds.
A copy of CLF's notice is available at https://www.clf.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-05-22-FINAL-Wheelabrator-Saugus-Notice-Letter.pdf.

I am preparing for JEE Mains 2015 from following books.
Physics: HC Verma, Tata Mcgrawhill Physics, Disha physics
Chemistry: Tata Mcgrawhill, JD LEE, RC Mukherjee
Maths: RD Sharma, ML Khanna
Along with all these books i am also referring to my coaching notes and their practice sheets.

Yes. Does your coaching institute also conduct online mock tests?
I am also preparing for BITSAT. How can I go for mock test as my coaching institute didn't do?
Also where can I get last 5 years question papers of BITSAT B.E and B.PHAM?
If you coaching is not offering such facility try online. There are many websites offering Free Online Mock Tests.

Sierra Tuazon
Sierra Tuazon
Illustration , 2017
The Illinois Institute of Art — Schaumburg
I'm really fascinated by the way the water moves and blends in watercolors. Sierra Tuazon Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration & Design, 2017 , The Illinois Institute of Art — Schaumburg
What was the inspiration for your work?
A lot of my inspiration comes from traditional mediums. I'm really fascinated by the way the water moves and blends in watercolors, the way pencils almost never perfectly cover the paper, and I really try to capture that beauty in my work. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from an instructor while at The Illinois Institute of Art—Schaumburg (shoutout to Dan Streeting!) is that when you get an assignment that you don't like or that you're afraid of, make it something you would enjoy working on.
For instance—the wedding invitation suite was for my Portfolio II class, and it was really intimidating because I'd never done wedding invitations as a calligrapher before. So, I decided to have fun with it and make the invitations for the notorious Game of Thrones' Red Wedding. I wanted to test and see if anyone ever paid any attention to what was being written on the cards instead of just how pretty it looked.
What we are seeing in your works and can you describe your process in creating them?
A vast majority of my work is using Illustrator, or a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop. I like to have a vector artwork when I can, as it gives you the freedom to resize your artwork in case your client wants the art you designed on their business card to end up on a billboard. Photoshop is great for doing something that is going to stay one size, and it gives you the flexibility to give painterly strokes and effects, but without the hassle of spilling paint and staining your workspace!
How can we find out more about you and your work?
They can check out my website/portfolio/blog at sierratuazonillustration.com. I also post on Instagram under @sierratuazon and I have a Facebook page for my art cleverly titled The Art of Sierra Tuazon!

Scotland, 1812. He's ferocious and rugged to the bone, an English soldier more at home on the battlefield than in any society drawing room. And when Major Gabriel Forrester learns that he has inherited the massive Scottish highlands title and estate of a distant relation, the last thing he wants to do is give up the intensity of the battlefield for the too-soft indulgences of noble life. But Gabriel Forrester does not shirk his responsibilities, and when he meets striking, raven-eyed lass Fiona Blackstock, his new circumstances abruptly become more intriguing. Like any good Highlander, Fiona despises the English-and the new Duke of Lattimer is no exception. Firstly, he is far too attractive for Fiona's peace of mind. Secondly, his right to "her" castle is a travesty, since it's been clan Maxwell property for ages. As the two enter a heated battle of wills, an unexpected passion blazes into a love as fierce as the Highlands themselves. Is Fiona strong enough to resist her enemy's advances-or is Gabriel actually her hero in disguise?

Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts 1/3/16 NFL Score, Recap, News and Notes
Final Score: Colts 30, Titans 24
January 3, 2016
See the Latest Odds
Mixed in with the Week 17 NFL schedule, we had an AFC South matchup between the Titans and the Colts. Tennessee was coming off a huge loss to the Texans, while Indianapolis edged out the Dolphins in Week 16. Neither of these teams had a good season, and this game was more or less just a pride matchup to end the season on a positive note. Indy had some slim playoff hopes coming in, but they dissipated before the game was over.
Let's check out some of the notable players and stats from this one so we can figure out why things played out the way they did. Here's a closer look.
What Happened: The Colts got on the board first after a 49-yard drive when Adam Vinatieri booted a 49-yard field goal to make it 3-0. Zach Mettenberger got the Titans into the lead when he rushed for a 5-yard touchdown made possible by a Titans interception.
Josh Freeman and Coby Fleener hooked up on a sweet 57-yard TD pass a short time later, giving the Colts a 10-7 edge after one.
In the second, David Cobb put the Titans ahead with a 1-yard TD run after an 11-play, 80-yard drive. Vinatieri scored again on a 52-yard boot, and Andre Johnson posted a TD on an 18-yard Ryan Lindley pass.
At the end of the half, it was 20-14 Colts.
After the break, Jerrell Freeman put up a 23-yard interception return for a touchdown to extend the Colts' lead to 27-14. Ryan Succop bagged a 49-yard field goal for the Titans' first score of the half.
In the fourth, Dorial Green-Beckham grabbed a 5-yard TD pass from Alex Tanney to cut the lead to three, but Vinatieri booted a 35-yard field goal to get the score to 30-24. That tally would hold, and the Colts would get a divisional home victory, though it was ultimately just cosmetic.
USA TODAY Sports
The Stars: The Colts got some pretty decent QB play from Freeman and Lindley, who combined for a 21-of-38 line for 207 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Frank Gore was reliable as usual, putting up 19 carries for 76 yards. Coby Fleener was the leading receiver with seven receptions for 88 yards and his score.
On the other side, Delanie Walker had nine receptions for 94 yards; no other receiver had more than two catches.
The Goats: The Titans defense allowed Indy to post 327 net yards and a 7-of-17 mark (41 percent) on third downs. Conversely, Tennessee's offense was just 4-of-14 on third downs themselves and put up a paltry 94 net yards passing.
We can't really fault any individual players here, as there seemed to be a prevalent sense of trying new things on both sides given the relatively meaningless status of this game.
Injuries: This looked very much like a preseason game, with key players missing on both sides. We had some additional injury situations throughout the game, but every ailing player will get a long off-season to recover.
Both teams will be looking forward to their No. 1 quarterbacks (Andrew Luck and Marcus Mariota) getting back under center for Week 1 of 2016.
Outlook: The Colts finish 8-8 with the victory. They've been decimated by injuries this season, most notably to No. 1 QB Andrew Luck. They will look to reclaim the division in 2016.
As for the Titans, they had a pretty miserable season at just 3-14. They will have the first pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, however, so that's something for them to look forward to.

Harmonix's CEO tells Next-Gen that individual instruments for Rock Band will arrive "as soon as humanly possible."
In a recent interview with Next-Gen, Harmonix head Alex Rigopulos assured us that his studio will deliver individual instrument controllers for the upcoming Rock Band post-haste.
"The highest priority is to make sure that as many people as possible can have the multi-instrument band experience this holiday," he said. "We are working diligently to get individual instruments into the channel as soon as humanly possible and we have a huge effort in place to make this happen."
If that's the case, then I'll patiently wait. If the peripherals down the road turn out to be interchangeable, then I'm gonna see what the cost effectiviness of getting Rock Band, GH3, and Singstar comes out to.

Admittedly the Sprouts fell of the blogging bandwagon. No excuses - one of our Sprouts sprouted, and down a cultivator we were doing everything we could to make sure we were cultivating our client's brands with as much love and attention as possible.
We're finally back to 100% and we're growing again!
Starting Monday we'll pick up where we left off on our A-Z entries with the letter D. And in the coming weeks we'll start sharing more and more about our new sister company, gem - a research recruiting firm that's redefining the research recruit.
Of course our time off from writing gave us plenty of time to think, and boy do we have lots of ideas and thoughts to share in the coming months. And as always, we hope you'll sound off about what you think as well.

The Samsung Galaxy S8+ came out in 2017, and introduced one of the largest displays you can get on a smartphone. It meant that fans of the standard Galaxy S8 model could get it with just a little more screen real estate - and it packs a punch in terms of its design and inside specs, too. Find out how to get the best deal on this stunning smartphone with CompareMyMobile, and get comparing deals on the S8+ right away.
Compare Samsung Galaxy S8+ deals
What is the Samsung Galaxy S8+ like?
Well, it's big. The display is a massive 6.2 inches in size - about half an inch bigger than the regular Galaxy S8 - with a Quad HD resolution and curved sides. A gorgeous design means it looks and feels great in your hand.
Inside, it's also pretty darn powerful, with octa-core processors and 4GB of RAM. It offers more internal memory than the standard S8 as well - 128GB, with a microSD card slot if that's still not enough space.
The cameras, meanwhile, are some of the best you'll find on a 2017 phone. On the back there's a 12MP lens with lots of pro-level controls, and there's even an 8MP lens on the front for nice clear selfies.
On top of all that, the S8+ is packed with more features you didn't realise you needed, like the Bixby AI assistant, a heart rate monitor, and an iris scanner as well as a fingerprint sensor. Oh, and a standard headphone plug.
How to find the best Samsung Galaxy S8+ deal
Use our comparison tool to pick the best Samsung Galaxy S8+ deal for you. Choose everything you need from your plan - including things like monthly allowance, network, upfront cost, and monthly cost - and sort the deals by whatever metric you want, such as price.
Then all you need to do is choose a deal you like, and click it to sign up.
Compare Samsung Galaxy S8+ deals
What data allowance do I need?
The right allowance can vary a lot between users, but for a phone like this, you may want to get a little more than you currently use - especially if it's a big upgrade on your last handset. It all depends on how you use your phone, though. Here are some basic pointers to give you a hand.
- Email, social media, browsing - You'll only need around 1GB or so.
- Lots of social media, watching a few videos, streaming music - Try a medium-sized data allowance, around 2GB-5GB.
- Streaming TV or films every day, listening to podcasts on the go, downloading lots of files - Get a heavier allowance, perhaps 10GB or more. You could even go for unlimited data if you're a big mobile internet user.
What's the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S8+ deal?
'Plus'-sized Samsung phones tend to be on the expensive side, but there are some ways to keep costs down when you take out a contract.
Your best bet is always to compare deals to find one that gives you everything you need at the lowest price. As well as that, there are a few cost-cutting measures you can try…
- Budget networks - Small providers and 'MVNOs' are more likely to focus on low prices. Try ones like giffgaff, iD Mobile, or Plusnet Mobile.
- Refurbished phones - These handsets are previously owned and have been given a revamp so they're good as new - and they cost less.
- Existing customer deals - We list a bunch of these right there in the comparison table. It could mean an upgrade deal from your current network; a monthly discount on BT Mobile if you have BT broadband; unlimited calls and texts on Sky Mobile if you have Sky broadband/TV; and more.
- Resellers - Companies like Carphone Warehouse and Mobiles.co.uk buy phones and plans in bulk, then sell them to you at nice low costs. You'll see deals from these guys alongside ones direct from networks so you can see at a glance which is best.
Compare cheap Samsung Galaxy S8+ deals
Can I get the Samsung Galaxy S8+ with no upfront cost?
Yes. Even though it's a costly handset, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S8+ for 'free' with the right contract.
That does mean monthly payments will be a little higher, though - so make sure you compare all the no-upfront-cost deals out there to find one with the best value.
No upfront cost Samsung Galaxy S8+ deals
Can I get the Samsung Galaxy S8+ with unlimited data?
Unlimited data deals certainly are available on mobile contracts, though only from a couple of networks. They can be costly, but it's worth it if you know you'll be constantly watching, streaming, and downloading on your Galaxy S8+. Take a look:
Unlimited data Samsung Galaxy S8+ deals
If unlimited data is just a little too expensive, take a look at S8+ plans with large data allowances too. Contracts with 20GB and above per month are available from quite a few networks - which means you have more choice over which one to go for, too.
More phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8+
Take a look at a few other phones that are similar to the Galaxy S8+, and compare all your options before you commit to a plan.

- Samsung Galaxy Note 8

How will the interior of the autonomous vehicle of the future look? It's a question faced by designers, engineers, and product planners across the board in the automotive industry. Without the need for traditional controls, like a steering wheel and pedals, interiors of the future have the chance to become radically different. Mercedes-Benz design director Gorden Wagener sits down with AD to provide his take on design, the future, and his inspiration for style.
Architectural Digest: You have the challenge and the pleasure of designing both autonomous cars and luxury performance cars meant to be driven. Do you see it as a balance?
Gorden Wagener: Yes, totally. I see the balance, because there [have been] many situations where driving was fun for the last 130 years. I'm sure autonomous technology means it will be for another 130 [years]. People love to drive, especially when there's no traffic and there are beautiful roads. Of course, there are also situations where you get stuck, and perhaps become frustrated. That's when you can go on autopilot. This is why we always want to give the people the choice, whether you decide to drive yourself or [be] driven autonomously. I think there's way more freedom than other full autonomous solutions we have seen—that don't have a steering wheel, that have parts that run in a limited environment or virtual tracks, at low speed.
AD: In your studio, does design drive engineering?
GW: I think it always needs to go hand in hand. There's no good design without proper engineering—and vice versa. We, as designers, always try to drive engineering. We create new design visions at an early stage, and then we present them to the board, and discuss. We're not only concerned about how it looks but also how it works. I actually believe designers are the right people to be involved with the mechanics, because we love simplicity in all forms. If somebody can tell about the future, about the way autonomous technology gels with high design, I believe it's us.
AD: Back to autonomous cars, the interior design can fundamentally change if you don't need a traditional control layout. How does your ideal interior look? Is it a living room within a car? An office? Something we can't expect yet?
GW: Autonomy will undoubtably change the interior. The F 015 gives the answer to that. The concept was very radical in many ways. This is kind of the end point of autonomous driving, where the car actually takes advantage of traffic jams. You have a rolling lounge, almost like a carriage with its wheels pushed to the corners, due to the electric drive that's possible. A longer wheelbase for batteries creates this living space, where you can choose, again, whether to drive yourself or go on autopilot, and interact with your friends that are physically or virtually in the car. Basically, the F 015 was radical, was so ahead of its time that we have basically given all the answers we can at this moment.
AD: So, the F 015 is an accurate reflection of your autonomous design philosophy?
GW: In a word, yes. The F 015 car is extremely clean, inside and out. It's a great example of that sense of purity, an aesthetic that is very inline with modern luxury. Today modern affluence in automotives means a car that's super-clean in design, super-techy with its features, and super-integrated with its applications.
AD: Can you take me through your points of inspiration when you're coming up with a new model outside of the automotive world?
GW: I think the biggest change these days is that design [has become] holistic. You're not doing just the car, you're doing everything: every touch point, every little detail within the confines of the vehicle. The car is already among the most complex things to design. And that's because everything comes together—the interior, powertrain, color, and trim—at the same time.
AD: A lot of designers look to Mercedes-Benz as you chase segments that didn't exist, creating new shapes. Where does the white space end?
GW: There are always white spaces, of course. Our job as designers is to find them and create new concepts. We created a four-door coupe of the CLS a long time ago—that was the birthplace of that—and an entire segment came through that single idea.

I feel it's a sin to try and describe this journey with words as there is no word in any language that could express the true atmosphere Peace Camp brought to our lives during those 10 days. It is the definition of fun and the definition of personal growth. I've learnt many things. The most important one, it's not about where you are, it's about who you're with. There isn't anything else in this world better than people. Interestingly enough, the organization that made this possible for us is called People to People. Not caring one bit about objectivity, I can wholeheartedly say that for me, it's the best organization in the world. I am so grateful to have had the chance to be a part of this and I am endlessly envious to future participants that will get the privilege to live this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I've been Facebooking like crazy since I came back. It's the only thing that is helping me get through this. I am totally indifferent to anything happening around me and it's probably the rush of the moment and the effect of having had such a great time, but Peace Camp was my life for 10 days. I could only wish everyday life was like that. A life where you learn and never get bored, where you wake up at 6 am, go to bed at 3 am and wake up again after three hours feeling as relaxed as ever, and a life where you get to hang out with people that you wish you had near you everyday. That's what Peace Camp was to me. Almost utopia.
Earlier today, my friend Camellia wrote a beautiful quote by William Shedd, saying "A ship is safe in the harbor, but that is not what ships are built for." Then she said that sailing from Peace Camp is hard but we will weather the storms. Physically, I have started sailing but my mind and soul are still on that island and won't leave for a long time to come. I can only wish that while sailing through the troubled ocean called life, when we least expect it, our ships will meet and together raid through the storm and not stop until we reach the shores of that island we left two days ago. Until then, one of my biggest wishes will be made of one word. That word is reunion. That's what I want.
Noar Sahiti – Kosovo
JOFEH, KINGDOM OF JORDAN—My respect for these kids grows by the day.
These kids are 48 teenagers (high school and college students) from 28 countries who have gathered in Jordan for Peace Camp, sponsored by People to People International.
At Peace Camp, students 16-19 are engaged in a cultural exchange, including moderated dialogue about culture, religions, gender roles, and peace journalism. An important part of the camp is building lasting, cross-boundary friendships. Campers "start the peace process within themselves and then apply it to their own communities and nations." (ptpi.org).
I respect these youngsters, first, for their bravery. Imagine going to another country, and diving head-first into what are often difficult dialogues with people from different cultures whom you have never met. Throw in a bit of homesickness, and you have a difficult situation. Yet, these young people seem to have handled it all with grace and aplomb. Notably, I haven't heard any of them complain about anything. (I did hear a rumor about a few scattered complaints, but that the complainers were quickly admonished into silence by the "no negativity" police.)
My warm feelings about this great group of kids was confirmed on one of the last days of the camp, when we visited the Holy Land Institute for the Deaf in Jofeh, near the Dead Sea in Jordan. The institute is awkwardly named, since they serve more than deaf kids. Indeed, they teach not only vision impaired children but also those with mental disabilities. No one was quite sure how many children the institute serves, but the number is in the hundreds, since some children are taught on site, while others are taught in their own homes or in schools.
We toured the Holy Land Institute, and saw the wonderful work the all-volunteer staff does with youngsters of varying abilities from pre-school to high school. There were art classes of various kinds, classes where blind children were doing puzzles to enhance their dexterity, a sewing workshop, and another area where the students made paper using recycled materials. I tried one myself, but my paper looked pretty sorry.
After the tour, our Peace Campers were each assigned a classroom and some children to work with. This is when the Peace Campers' true colors came shining through. They dove right in with these differentially-abled children, helping them draw, color, make paper, do needlework, and so on. The art rooms were the most fun. In one room, our students sat on the floor and helped the children create some water color paintings. I scared a boy whom I sat next to, but the students in our group were much gentler, and their kindness eventually erased the shyness of some of the children.
In the second art room, our students sat at a table next to their more youthful counterparts. The students in this room were as engaged as I had seen them all week as they focused entirely on their partner's needs. I was especially touched by one young man, Elliott, a native Missourian, who was having a great time with an energetic hearing impaired boy. They did puzzle after puzzle together, their smiles growing larger after each task was completed. It's impossible to say who had more fun, or who benefited more from their brief time together.
It doesn't take long for an outsider to figure out that our Peace Camp students are academically gifted. Indeed, those who aren't already in college are headed to some of the world's most prestigious universities. What's less apparent, but even more important, is heart—what's on the inside. That's usually harder to see, although it was wonderfully evident during our visit to the Holy Land Institute. So, while I admire our Peace Camp students for their academic acumen, I respect them for their big, open hearts.
Thank you, Peace Campers, for reminding me of what is truly important.

It's been six months since I bought the Olympus E-620 and 12-60 mm lens, and thought it was time to reflect on using them. Going back to my original posting and what I thought were the major advantages of the camera:
And then there are a few things that I have learned which aren't listed above.
As an aside, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements (PSE) for most PP. I sometimes will use the Olympus Master software for tweaking a RAW file as I don't trust ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) for WB.

Tensions at the Maryland Shock Trauma Center boiled anew as University of Maryland officials yesterday accused 34 doctors of pocketing $2.5 million in patient-care fees and threatened legal action unless the money is returned by Friday.
Dr. Errol L. Reese, president of the University of Maryland at Baltimore, said that the university had received "over 50 percent" of the money as of noon and that he was confident that the remainder will appear by the end of the week.
But he said that Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr. is prepared to take individual doctors or their fee-collecting corporation -- Shock Trauma Associates Professional Association (STAPA) -- to court if the deadline isn't met.

Grand Kids . . . . Day 3
Tuesday November 22, 2011
Today we all loaded in the care for a drive in the country. We didn't really stop anywhere to get many pictures.
We did see lots of rice fields
Lots of tricycles
Crazy wiring overhead
At the end of the day we took pictures in the backyard with the banana trees . . . .
They were all a little crazy after the drive!
But we did get a better picture in front of them mission home.

Optimal Risk-Based Hydraulic Design of Bridgesby Yeou-Koung Tung, Asst. Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Univ. of Nevada, Reno, Nev. 89557,
Larry W. Mays, (M.ASCE), Assoc. Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Dept. of Civ. Engrg., Univ. of Texas, Austin, Tex. 78712,
Serial Information: Journal of the Water Resources Planning and Management Division, 1982, Vol. 108, Issue 2, Pg. 191-203
Document Type: Journal Paper
The hydraulic design of highway bridges entails the evaluation of flood hazard associated with a proposed bridge structure and the determination of socio-environmental effects of the bridge project. A procedure for treating hydrologic uncertainties is incorporated into an optimization framework to develop the optimal risk-based design of the bridge openings and the embankment heights that minimizes the total expected cost. The optimization technique used is called Hooke-Jeeves pattern search. The procedure to determine the optimal bridge design is applied to Leaf River, Mississippi. The effect of using different procedures for hydrogic parameter estimation and the effect of using different hydrologic probability models on the optimal design are examined.

This Appnote can help you http://www.cypress.com/documentation/application-notes/an72382-using-psoc-3-and-psoc-5lp-gpio-pins
check page 10, section Toggle GPIOs Faster with Data Registers.
Hope it helps
2. Re: Blink code in Cgreg.lőrincz Feb 10, 2017 9:08 AM (in response to user_365962704)
Page 7 :) Thank you Carlos, it worked! So in case anyone else wants to build a blink example, here it goes:
for(;;) {
/* Set MyPin output state to HIGH */
/* Delay for 500 ms */
/* Set MyPin output state to LOW */
/* Delay for 500 ms */
CyDelay(500); }
Keep in mind you need to drop a pin in the schematics section first, name it (such as 'MyPin'), set it to digital out, no HW connection, strong drive. That's it! The PSOC5 API seems very useful!
