WWW, March 2009 - With the hand drums in close-up, the horns close by, here is the introduction to a 6 hour excursion to Jamaica in the year 1980. Your host is none other than Mikey Dread at the Controls!
Part 1, entitled "Revival", takes us to the Roots of Reggae, which is directly related to slavery. The story of slavery, when Africans were taken from their homeland to work for the Babylonian colonizers, is explained. Drums were forbidden, torture was the rule: but in all this tribulation, the Africans did keep and develop their culture and dignity.
The enslavers, who claimed to be "Christian", looked down on the Africans. They kept their white religion for themselves, but in 1784 the first Black Church, called "The Ethiopian Baptist Church", was established. A significant event in the further development of Black Spirituality and Culture on Jamaica.
We're taken to what in the meantime has become a rich spectrum of Revival and other Spiritual Movements, all of them having their influence in shaping the Music that we love so much: Roots Reggae, Deep Roots Reggae.
Musically, Reggae has predecessors like Mento and Ska. These musical styles were as much connected with the Jamaican Spiritual heart-beat as Reggae is today. This connection becomes very clear in the long explanations and filmings of sessions.
It has to be clear, before we can continue to go into the Ghetto to meet the Skatalites, the band that had Studio One as their basis. Studio One, where most well-known Reggae artist have one or more times practiced their talents and skills.
As they talk and sing, it become clear that this is 1980. The Skatalites were already legends in Jamaica, as they were very much responsible for creating the rhythm and sound called Reggae some 15 years before that. Things had rapidly changed in that 15 years, and yet, some things stayed the same.
The Nyabinghy rhythm of the Rastafarians, for example. The percussionist starts to explain where he's coming from and plays the rhythm, singing over it...
Another influential group is Toots and the Maytalls, whose tune "Do The Reggay" is said to have given name to the Music, even though the spelling is -for obvious reasons- a bit different today. We see them in an old, old live performance, when Ska was still the music of the time.
Ska was heavily promoted by the first government of Jamaica after independence was declared, in order to promote the indigenous music from "Yard". Jimmy Cliff was another Super Star from that time. We see him too, in black and white film from the 1960's.
Just before the end, we fast forward to 1980 and meet up with Jimmy Riley, who was there back in the 1960's when Reggae came into existence. As he is singing "Poor Immigrants", he reflects on what was then already a Reggae History.
Part 1 of "Deep Roots" establishes a solid foundation for the five hours of essential Reggae History that are yet to come.

RoomSketcher Presents New Mobile App
Want to take RoomSketcher with you, anywhere you go? Well, soon you can! RoomSketcher presents their new app for iPhone and iPad so that you can walk around your dream home wherever you are, whenever you want. Soon you can download the app, and VIP and Pro license holders can view all their projects in Live 3D.
This week, at the Association of Real Estate Agents (NEF) spring conference in Lillehammer, Norway, RoomSketcher presented the new app that makes it easier to go on a viewing whenever you want and wherever you want. Real estate agents from all over the country dragged and pinched their fingers over the iPad and iPhone screens, viewing the property from inside and above. The app will be available to everyone through app store in a couple of weeks (want to know when? Send us an email firstname.lastname@example.com).
Trine Bretteville, CMSO at RoomSketcher, is excited about all the positive reactions to the app.
– Live 3D serves as a sort of mini video game. You can virtually walk through the property you are interested in. The solution allows you to see how the distribution of the accommodation is in a more realistic (and fun!) way than a regular flat sketch of the property.
RoomSketcher's innovation lies in the unique single-source platform that makes it easy to create and deliver floor plans and online solutions for real estate marketing. RoomSketcher solutions help real estate agents market the property to the potential of the property in a simple, engaging and friendly manner.

Greetings All.
Welcome to another Friday right here at Obzervashunal, and with it another in my buddy Dale's and my ongoing, K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I'm taking the helm this week and unlike most weeks when the challenge is on me, the following idea showed up pretty much fully-formed in my head:
…could be just about anything, you know.
… any type of car… cars… you want, done up in a style… well, that's on you too!
I've actually got a few shots, taken from the ole 'Obzervashunal Archives' I think will fit the bill for this challenge…
Then again, I might NOT use them… I mean we… you… I have until Monday for the challenge's unveiling, so maybe I'll change my mind a few times between now and then, who knows?
Say! Maybe you're considering joining us?
It really isn't hard.
Here's what you'd need to do:
Create your post just as you normally would. With this one though, give it a title that speaks to some of the cool cars you've come across.
Once complete, come Monday copy your new post's URL and paste it into the comment section of the challenge post you'll find here or over at Dale's site. (linked, as always, up above!)
We here in Northern California haven't been getting too much sun lately, but I'm hoping the coming weekend breaks the gloomy trend.
See you all on Monday!

So what if there was no PoohBear or such?
So Thursday night into Friday here, got off air early because PoohBear failed to call. Might be she just fell asleep or might be she's pissd about something else that is more like a fantasy or imagined crisis. Always seems that way, mostly concerning her evil Aunt, or something. Earlier in the night she was barking about something on the idea that her Evil Aunt was going to lock her up , because she would give her Aunt her Amscot card. Really? Unless PoohBear ain't telling me everything about that shitty card, there's no crime committed so what's her Aunt snarling about?
Then PoohBear was saying something about coming out early, that her Mom & Brother needed to come out here as well. This time as the last time this was mentioned, which was when we resided in Evanston, I told her, forward me money and I'll secure a place, right behind mine. All of which makes me think that PoohBear is scared of venturing so far out from Mom and Brothers protective arm. PoohBear has never been completely untethered from her Mom, and when it comes to money , well that's another thing. Which after a consult with one of my cabinet, thought of what if there was no PoohBear? What if she believed any of that dick waving contest from those hecklers from that aviation group on Facebook? Bottom line I'm looking for a place, that I, and I alone can afford, by myself. Just in case, PoohBear gets cold feet on hitching up with me. Which really puts me in a mess, since, 90% of the reason I gave up my section 8 voucher for housing, left LexiBelle in Cold Wyoming, and blew up a car, not to mention countless threats to my life and going in debt that I don't know how I'll get out, plus gave up a perfect situation as far as living down in Hollister Idaho, just to satisfy my PoohBear. If in fact she really is My PoohBear. That like so much on that damn Facebook might be a mirage and not what it really is. Sure I could stomach living here in Wendell for a month or two, but it'd mean not going to NAB again this year and reversing the move and heading south east, maybe to Wyoming again. So will be looking for my own place down there this next month.
Maybe I'm just not cut out to be hitched, maybe I need to just ride life's highway solo? Who knows? Thing is I have been solo most of my life, might as well live that way into the future. Might be overthinking this, but no call, that might be all.

Prez. Sirleaf orders Recast Budget reconstructed
(elbcradio.com/Feb. 18, 2016)- -President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has instructed the Finance & Development Planning Ministry to work along with the National Legislature to reconstruct the 2015/2016 Recast Budget.
President Sirleaf also instructed the ministry to provide relevant information and documents on the recast budget to facilitate and enhance the process.
In a communication to the Senate, the Liberian Leader said: "As a result of the budget shortfall, all government ministries and agencies are to experience budget cuts."
"Companies operating in the rubber and iron ore sectors are unable to meet up with their tax obligations due to the global decline in the prices in the two sectors," she noted.
The President disclosed that Government will continue working along with the companies to take measures that would help them recover and keep their operations in tight," she noted.
Meanwhile, the communication has been forwarded to Senate Committee on Ways, Means and Finance to advise the Plenary within two weeks.
In recent weeks, the issue of appropriation and cut in the National Budget sparked off disagreements between the Liberian Senate and the Minister of Finance & Development Planning, Amara Konneh.
This followed government's recent pronouncement of austerity measures to stabilize the economy.

Followed a link off Twitter to Steve Smith's eulogy to the archetypal "newspaperman". Sigh. Here we go again. Yes, I started off in journalism in the "glory days". I learnt to type on a typewriter. I know what "spike" and "slug" mean. I hanker after grumpy, know-it-all sub-editors from whom I first learnt that everything is miscellaneous. I too fell in love with newsroom drunkards who called themselves journalists, er, newspapermen. Blah blah blah.
But, echoing Jess Walter's comment, I am moved to quote US columnist Molly Ivins, who once said: "I don't so much mind that newspapers are dying, it's watching them commit suicide that pisses me off."
Seriously. Get over it. These days there are women in newsrooms. There are even female editors. There are bright young things doing things we only dreamed of. What we think is irrelevant anyway. What is coming next, Steve, is a world for adapters and adopters. Play the new game or find another job. Just ask all those legions of old newspapermen now doing PR…
Added 6 August: In the same vein, but less of a whine and a little closer to my heart really, is Lawrence Downes's Elegy for Copy Editors. Brian Cubbison responded with five possible exhibits for a copy editors' wing. I love his suggestion of the 'Headless body in topless bar' front page of the New York Post.
I nominate the Sun's headline, 'Super Caley go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious', which appeared after a famous upset in the Scottish Cup in 2000. The modern argument goes, of course, that the days of clever, punny headlines are over as we're all writing for search engines. As the Guardian's Peter Preston reminded us way back in 2006, computers don't do jokes.

The new James Corden and Rose Byrne kids film, Peter Rabbit has come under criticism for a scene that appears to make light of food allergies
Parents are up in arms after new film Peter Rabbit, based on the Beatrix Potter books, has featured an allergic character being pelted with his allergy. The film portrays Peter as a troublemaker who takes delight in winding up highly-strung farmer Tom McGregor, played by Domhnall Gleeson. Domhnall's character is anally retentive and slowly loses his grip on reality as the gang of farm animals play tricks on him, and in one scene the animals take things a step too far for some parents. McGregor is allergic to blackberries, which Peter knows, and Peter forces him to eat one causing the farmer to go into anaphylactic shock. The character is seen struggling for breath and grabbing his EpiPen before administering the life saving shot.
Concerned parents have taken to the internet to share their worries about the type of example the film might set for children. Some children have allergies that are so extreme, being in the same room as the allergen can cause death. These children often struggle to be taken seriously in school by teachers and their classmates, and parents are worried that seeing a severe allergy being used as a joke could make this situation even worse. The Kids With Food Allergies Foundation posted to Facebook to let their supporters know about the issue, and included a link to a letter they had written to Sony, explaining:
"FA believes that food allergy "jokes" are harmful to our community. During a reaction, patients require the life-saving drug epinephrine and must go to the nearest hospital for follow-up treatment. The very real fear and anxiety that people experience during an allergic reaction (often referred to as an impending sense of doom) is a serious matter. Making light of this condition hurts our members because it encourages the public not to take the risk of allergic reactions seriously, and this cavalier attitude may make them act in ways that could put an allergic person in danger"
On Peter Rabbit gate: anaphylaxis kills. Kids copy what they see. Foods people are most often allergic to are easily available.l (and easily thrown!) I don't think this is just a massive sense of humour failure but not was there any malintent on the part of the film makers.— Dr Christian Jessen (@DoctorChristian) February 12, 2018
Thousands of parents shared the message and posted their own similar feelings on Twitter but many thought the public reaction was dramatic, and pointed out that their own children with allergies were not concerned by the film's portrayal. Regardless, Sony have issued an apology for not taking allergies seriously. In a statement on Sunday night, Sony Pictures said: "Food allergies are a serious issue. Our film should not have made light of Peter Rabbit's arch nemesis, Mr McGregor, being allergic to blackberries, even in a cartoonish, slapstick way. We sincerely regret not being more aware and sensitive to this issue, and we truly apologise."

Designing DIY Bakery Logos.
A logo carries all you represent and if you are starting a business, you will need to come up with a professional logo. The ideal logo for your business will have a good effect on your products and services. There are a lot of things to consider before you embark on designing that perfect logo that you have in mind. Apart from possessing the right set of computer skills you need to be as creative as you can be to come up with a unique logo. Creativity is everything when you are undertaking a DIY project to come up with a logo, remember that that this is similar to a custom job.
Good logos are strong marketing tools because a customer will always remember an impressive logo that they have never seen before. The logo needs to communicate all that you need to put out there about the business such as value and creativity. Remember that being a DIY project does not mean that you shouldn't get help especially with the skills that you don't have. Sometimes getting the services of a professional will save you a lot of time and resources that you could have used in when coming up with the logo. You also need to ensure that your designs are not adding to the monotony of what is in the market, check your competition and get to understand how you need to make your logo stand out. Depending on the type of business that you are starting, the color will matter a lot.
If you have decided to start a bakery or a shop dealing with cakes, you need to understand that your logo will have a lot of roles to play. Apart from the logo being on the wrapper , it can … Read More

Salman Khan's movie "Tiger Zinda Hai" will apparently have a box office clash with not just one film, but two big-budget potential blockbusters. The biopic on Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt's controversial life starring Ranbir Kapoor, and "Padmavati" featuring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are also tentatively scheduled to be released on Christmas next year.
As soon as Yash Raj Films announced the release date of "Tiger Zinda Hai," fans of Salman became super excited about the project as it will bring the superstar and Katrina Kaif back on the screen together. Also, rumours have been doing the rounds suggesting that Salman will be seen as a 70-year-old man in the film.
"Christmas 2017... new battle date... #TigerZindaHai and tentatively #SanjayDuttBiopic & #Padmavati were planned as well... lets see...now !! [sic]," tweeted trade analyst Girish Johar.
"Tiger Zinda Hai" will be a sequel of "Ek Tha Tiger," a 2012 romantic thriller film directed by Kabir Khan. It also featured Ranvir Shorey, Girish Karnad, Roshan Seth and Gavie Chahal in supporting roles.
While "Tiger Zinda Hai" undoubtedly will be one of the most awaited flicks of 2017, hype around Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmavati" and Rajkumar Hirani's Sanjay Dutt biopic is also not less.
After the success of "Bajirao Mastani," Bhansali, Deepika and Ranveer have reportedly teamed up for "Padmavati." Reports suggest that Shahid Kapoor is also a part of the project.
On the other side, biopic on Sanjay is also much anticipated as it will showcase the controversial and difficult life of the actor. Ranbir will be seen portraying the real-life character. If all the three movies release around the same time of Christmas, it will be one of the biggest box office clashes of all time.

80 Year-Old Bookkeeping Error Causes First Species to be Fished to Extinction
The Almost-Extinct Flapper Skate. Photo via the Telegraph
Everyone has no doubt heard about how fisheries around the world are in grave danger of being fished into oblivion. Countless species are currently threatened by overfishing, and environmentalists work fiercely to prevent victims like sharks and tuna from disappearing--but no one suspected that a common skate would be the first to go. And it turns out no one suspected anything because of a simple classification mistake made 80 years ago.
It was an error that was made almost 8 decades ago--and it appears to have lead to the seemingly irreversible decline of a now-endangered skate. Here's what happened, according to Science Daily:
From the mid-19th century the common skate was described as two distinct species, the flapper skate, D. intermedia, and the blue skate, D. flossada. However, in an influential work in 1926 R.S Clark recognised only 'D. batis' as a valid species and this classification has largely gone unchallenged since.So, thanks to Clark, there were two species of skate being lumped in together as Dipturus batis--meaning that there was assumed to be a larger stock of a single species by both fishing companies and environmentalists.
Now, the European common skate--the name accidentally given to both species--has been on the World Conservation Union's Red List of Threatened Species since 2006. Catch limits were then imposed to protect it. Unfortunately, because of the bookkeeping error made 80 years ago, the two species weren't differentiated, and no one could tell that one of them was getting hit much harder--until it was too late.
Thanks to the mix-up, the rarer flapper skate--the world's largest--has now been fished to the brink of extinction. Before mass fishing began, the ill-fated species--along with its twin--was abundant. But now it's been all but entirely depleted from its natural habitats in the Celtic and North Seas, the Skagerrak and the English Channel.
A team of scientists led by Dr Samuel Iglésias, whose research has only now finally uncovered the past mistake, are desperately attempting to create an official distinction in a last ditch effort to save the flapper skate. "Without revision and recognition of its distinct status the world's largest skate, D. cf. intermedia, could soon be rendered extinct," he says.

Seamless & Tinder: The Art of Exploring Options & Hunger & Thirst & How To Maintain An Ounce of Dignity Throughout
by RULA AL-NASRAWI
You already know that there's an app for everything in this world. Everything. There's an app to get your bedbug-infested laundry picked up and dropped off at your home all clean and folded. There's an app for booking a quick therapy session for when you're convinced that aliens have finally chosen to implant a chip inside of you for research on the rapid decline of mankind. There's an app where you can pop digital bubble wrap bubbles, and battle Jedi warriors with digital lightsabers and—drumroll please— there's an app for scanning and analyzing photos of your own feces. God fucking bless. But in my opinion the most important apps for the modern everyday man and woman are still, and may always be, the two classics; Seamless and Tinder.
Seamless, a major food delivery app is THE go to option for hungry human beings everywhere. Seamless is a lazy foodie's Shangri-la, an untouchable oasis where you can somehow manage to order a cheesecake and a seaweed salad and a salmon filet and 666 garlic knots all in one place. Heaven or Hell you ask? Honestly unclear.
Tinder is also all about options in a seemingly different way. This dating slash hookup tool celebrates boundless options like the Kardashian clan celebrates the launch of a new useless app or game or lipkit or waist trainer endorsement. Tinder is a digital shopping spree for human beings. Seriously. If you were really trying to get it you could literally swipe yourself into someone's bed in a matter of minutes.
But who and what do you choose when the options are quite literally endless? What does one do when they can't decide between pizza and burgers and sushi and tacos and a snarky skater and a nocturnal drummer and a documentary filmmaker with a fake accent and a barista who you fell in love with because he reminded you of Drake circa "Nothing Was The Same."
While Seamless is an online buffet for food, Tinder is a buffet for human beings. Unlike Seamless, Tinder begins to feel like a video game; the higher your score aka the more matches you get, the more self esteem points you get along with it. And if you actually get to see that person IRL or manage to get a constant hookup or, gasp, a significant other out of the whole thing well then, you may have won my friend. There is no game to Seamless, except for the waiting game when your food arrives two hours after you ordered it. I would rather be stood up by the same dude 35 times than be hangry AF and have my food arrive late, cold and stale, and possibly already rotting because it took several business days to arrive.
On the other hand, a bad Tinder hookup is v similar to a bad Seamless order. It//he//she arrives at your house, and something is just off. Maybe it's the weird old french fry smell, maybe it's the overall presentation like a curly black hair in your spaghetti or being two feet shorter than you said you were, or a bite mark in your sandwich or a third nipple that casually was never mentioned to you. Maybe it's the fact that what arrived at your home looks absolutely nothing like the photos like too much flash or too little filter. Like, you ordered a Michelene star burger and you got a burger that looks like a Michelene tire instead, and you're trying not to be ungrateful and rude but that's literally not what you ordered. You thought you were getting Jessica Simpson circa 2004, but instead you got Homer. Look, there's nothing wrong with Homer Simpson, he's like the OG dad bod; but I don't like being lied to.
Ok but, the real difference between Seamless and Tinder is that on Seamless, if your food takes hours to arrive or doesn't arrive at all or there's a giant barnacle of mold on your toast, you can call up Seamless and be like "Yo I want a refund or like 50 coupons or like a lifetime supply of cheezits" and boom, they make it happen.
On the other hand, if your Tinder date completely flakes on you, tells you to set his/her shirt on fire when things go left, tries to convince you they're famous when they're literally not, takes you on a date to his/her place of work and then subsequently pulls out his or her guitar or ukelele or banjo and starts singing "Another Brick in the Wall" or "Wagon Wheel" or "Blackbird" so out of tune that you are certain your soul has already evacuated your body and you are just an empty shell faking being alive, WHERE ARE OUR COUPONS//REFUNDS THOUGH?
Sadly, there aren't any. No way to return the girl who left you mid-date for your friend while you were in the bathroom. No return policy for the guy who doesn't come up for air during a hookup so just aggressively breathes in and out of his nose. No money back for all of the awkward IRL banter that was nothing like the sexy text banter, the nudes you sent with strategically-placed sneaky moon emojis, and there is definitely no way to take back the decision one makes to actually catch feelings.
I'm not saying you can't catch feelings for your food. I've definitely fallen in love with the lamb sandwich at my neighborhood Senegalese bakery. But through the haze of guys who use five of the same headless body pic on their profile Sleepy Hollow style, the girls who still whip out the duck face like we're still on MySpace tbt from hell, and people's bios that read "iF uR nOt dtf tHeN gtfo ;) ," you could still actually meet someone that gives you the feels. It's kind of like thrifting, you're putting a lot of trust into sifting through the masses because you know that what you want is out there somewhere, you just haven't seen it yet.
Well young (food) lovers, just remember that if you catch feelings, there is no return policy. You will not get your money or your dignity back. But what you will get is an experience, at the very least a funny story about how you dated a side order of mac and cheese for 5 weeks until it stunk up your whole house because it was living in your fridge and the fumes killed your roommate's beta fish so you finally had to break up/ throw it away. Love hurts sometimes y'all. I may be interested in five different artisanal pizza spots or five different firefighters from different parts of town or five different vegetarian ramen options or five different vegan tattooed chefs who live in BK, but if what I really want is just a gyro and a guy who rivals my punniness, then none of those other options will taste quite as good. Options are truly beautiful but sometimes the most beautiful thing is knowing exactly what you want and not being afraid to send it back if it's not what you asked for.

Happy Birthday Lil Risa!
A year ago today at 4 :19 AM my little girl Risa Kitamura was born. She was taken from my not-so-comfy womb at week 30 and 3-day due to pregnancy complication Total Placenta Previa.
I remember I felt a huge gush bleeding. The blood was all over the bed before the nurse even reach my door room at the hospital.
It was crazy. I will always remember it. The very last night I carry my baby in my belly. I don't think I'm able to have a baby again since my husband's now gone. And I don't intend to remarriage. My life now is all about Risa. She is all I have now.
Miss him so much
I've been crying every day ever since he left. It just hurt so bad. I miss his voice calling out my name. I miss talking and laughing with him. I miss going out to dinner, shop and travel with him. God I miss everything about him. Dear God why did you take him away from us. We needed him and you took him away. It's not fair. Why can't I live normally just like most people do.
All I wanted is to have a normal life. Ever since I was born my life has been always out of ordinary. I wanted my daughter to live the life I couldn't get to live but she ended up the same like me. She will never be able feel how is it like to be loved by her father. I'm scared that someday she will ask about her father and I don't know if I can answer all of her questions. It's not going to be easy for me raising her all by myself. But I have to and I must. I hope I can be there for my little daughter in every step of the way. Until my time come.
He's gone forever
It's been over a week since my husband passed away. To be honest I really don't know how I feel at the moment.
I still can't believe that he is gone now, gone forever. And I will be missing him every single day for the rest of my life.
We were together for eleven years, married for ten years. He was my soulmate, best friend ever and best husband I could ever have. He spoiled me and took care of me. He gave me everything he got. The best gift he ever gave me was Risa and she is all I have now.

A framing square is an integral part of any carpenter's tool set. It is used for a multitude of framing applications. Besides aiding in making 90o angle framing cuts, it is extremely useful in framing stairs and roofs.
A framing square is constructed out of steel or aluminum. It has two arms that are positioned at a right angle to each other. One of the arms is referred to as the blade and is two inches in width and 24 inches in length. The second arm is referred to as the tongue and is 1.5 inches in width and 14-18 inches in length. The corner of the framing square is referred to as the heel.
On each of the arms there is a stamped in graduated scale in inches. The scales are stamped on both sides of the square. On the face of the square (usually determined by the manufacturer's label) the graduated scale is broken down to 1/8th and 1/16th intervals. On the back of the square the graduated scale is broken down to 1/12th of an inch intervals.
For homeowners who are looking to simply make right angle cuts the use of a framing square is fairly self evident. The blade of the framing square should be placed up to the edge of the lumber (e.g. 2x4) and the tongue should lie perpendicularly across the top of the lumber. A line can then be made along the length of the tongue and a straight perpendicular cut can then be made. The Stanley 45-300 Aluminum Carpenters Square is an excellent framing square for any framing application.
For framing stairs, hip roofs, or rafters a more in-depth understanding of how to use the framing square is required. A book on framing, such as the Graphic Guide to Frame Construction: Details for Builders and Designers (For Pros by Pros), can provide the detailed instructions for utilizing a framing squire for these applications.

The relative importance of deforestation, precipitation change, and temperature sensitivity in determining the future distributions and diversity of Amazonian plant species

Tropical forests are threatened by many human disturbances - two of the most important of which are deforestation and climate change. In order to mitigate the impacts of these disturbances, it is important to understand their potential effects on the distributions of species. In the tropics, such understanding has been hindered by poor knowledge of the current distributions and range limits of most species. Here we use herbarium collection records to model the current and future distributions of ca 3000 Amazonian plant species. We project these distributions into the future under a range of different scenarios related to the magnitude and extent of disturbance as well as the response of species to changes in temperature, precipitation and atmospheric concentrations of CO2. We find that the future of Amazonian diversity will be dependant primarily on the ability of species to tolerate or adapt to rising temperatures. If the thermal niches of tropical plants are fixed and incapable of expanding under rapid warming, then the negative effects of climate change will overshadow the effects of deforestation, greatly reducing the area of suitable habitat available to most species and potentially leading to massive losses of biodiversity throughout the Amazon. If tropical species are generally capable of tolerating warmer temperatures, rates of habitat loss will be greatly reduced but many parts of Amazonia may still experience rapid losses of diversity, with the effects of enhanced seasonal water stress being similar in magnitude to the effects of deforestation.

Since Franklin Roosevelt accepted renomination at Philadelphia two months ago, he has studiously refrained from all political activity. Nevertheless, he was at pains to give White House correspondents the slip one afternoon last week and, on pretext of visiting his ailing Secretary of War at Walter Reed Hospital, motored 20 miles into Maryland to Oxon Hill Manor, country house of Assistant Secretary of State Sumner Welles. There the President conferred with some 30 local Democrats, including Maryland's Senator Radcliffe, Baltimore's Mayor Jackson, National Committeeman Howard Bruce. When the Baltimore Sun...

Pink Floyd's Old Home Is For Sale. 'The Wall' In The Kitchen Is State Of The Art.
Pink Floyd fans, prepare yourselves - and your wallets. The house where the band used to live is for sale, and it's no longer the dwelling of a wild group of rockers. Instead, this posh London home is fit for the swankiest of residents - and it's got a healthy injection of rock history as well.
Many people don't know that the band lived together in this row house when they were just getting their start. In fact, it's said that the true sound of Pink Floyd was born here. That means that whenever you hear "Wish You Were Here," you have this glorious residence to thank.
In the sixties, Pink Floyd lived in a multi-million dollar, seven-bedroom home in north London.
Here's a shot of the interior before it was auctioned and renovated in 2012.
It was basically crumbling, and in serious need of some TLC.
Until 2012, no one had touched the building since the band lived there.
The property was sold following the death of the band's former college tutor, Mike Leonard.
There were lots of ancient rock-and-roll relics found on the property.
Eventually, the entire thing was refurbished.

I saw bits of her visual work on her blog, but was largely struck by her thoughtful writing, whether that be things like her musings on conventional femininity, or something out of our shared sphere entirely, like her awesome gift guide for the unemployed. So when she reached out to me about my series on compliments with some ideas about visually expressing her own complex feelings toward unsolicited compliments from men, I jumped at the chance. Enjoy!

The investment banking team of Haitong Bank was engaged in the development of this ranking from a very early stage. When making this compilation, authors used current and financial reports published by companies, Haitong Bank's estimates and information available in public and private databases.
Bartłomiej Dmitruk, Senior Country Officer of Haitong Bank, commented the ranking's results from Warsaw, additionally also providing an interview to Forbes, on how to build value of enterprises. "Polish firms still use very little debt when conducting their day-to-day business, even today the biggest companies don't seize the small investment opportunities" – stated Bartłomiej Dmitruk. "If Polish companies want to continue to grow, they should rather look into consolidating the market or takeover firms abroad" – added Bartłomiej Dmitruk.
This year's Top 3 of the Biggest Polish private companies ranking, by market value, were: Cyfrowy Polsat, LPP and CCC. In the category of Top 5 of the list, the two remaining companies to include are: Synthos and Polpharma.
As the List being created was of Polish companies, the authors considered one of their criteria's for the ranking being where, firstly, the majority of the company is owned by a Polish entrepreneur or a group of Polish entrepreneurs, and secondly, the company where a Polish entrepreneur has a minority stake but who actively manages or controls the company on a management or supervisory board level.

If a girl has been raped or physically molested how could she is a slut?
"Why does she was outside of the home late night?"
"I have seen her talking over the phone many times"
"She has many friends and most of them are boys".
These are some of the comments we can hear in our society whenever a girl got raped or molested.
In the world of fast internet, people spread rumors and passes judgment in ultra fast way.
We don't take time to declare someone characterless, cheap and even slut.
But let me remind you that sluts do not get raped they get paid.
Let me become less liberal and put it in this way that it is rarest of rare that a prostitute can be physically molested.
If a girl has been raped or physically molested how could she is a slut?
If she was a slut then it will be called sex in the place of rape or molestation.
People easily declare that the fault was of victim. And by doing this somehow they are trying to fool themselves.
They try to show that their girls are safe because they are rich with sober characters.
But it is not true, because whenever a girl is being raped the culprit is one and only the rapist.
None of the clothes and behaviors is provocative enough to turn a man into demon.
So instead of passing judgment on someone's girl raise your boy carefully.
Join hands and stand against rape and molestation.
Jai Hind.

The way we work is evolving. So does the employee experience. At Crossover, we are trying to scale the remote work and reach the top 1% talent around the globe. I'm Mine Dedekoca, Istanbul City General Manager at Crossover. In this interview with Tolgahan Albayrak, a remote working chief software architect, we are taking you to behind the curtains of a remote work life and give you tips on how you can boost your productivity while working remotely.
Can you tell us the story of how your journey started at Crossover?
I was seeing Crossover job postings on Linkedin. It was very tempting to be 100% Remote, having comfortable working hours, working on long contracts instead of short-term projects and of course a good promised salary. I thought, "This can not be real." So, I decided to apply. Naturally, I made a Google search about Crossover before applying. The comments that I read were really annoying. So, after reading these comments, I changed my mind and decided not to apply. Then one morning, I was greeted by the message of Sinan Ata, he was the Turkey General Manager back then, on Linkedin. In his message, he was telling that he reviewed my Linkedin profile and thought that I was a very good fit for Crossover. He also mentioned that I was eligible to apply for a job at Crossover and shared his contact details in case I wanted for more details. His message urged me to have a call with him. So, I called him and he was kind enough to share all the details, which shed light on my concerns about the company. After the call, I asked myself "What do I have to lose?" and applied for a job. It's been 13 months, I'm still working, and I think the best experience I've had is working at Crossover.
What was your first role at Crossover?
My first role at Crossover was Java Software Architect. I've actually applied for the Java Chief Architect position and I've completed that challenging tests with succeed. However, I've not provided detailed answers during the interview and it was the reason that I had a downgrade and I was hired as Java SA instead.
Did you have any adaptation challenges at the beginning?
When I start a new job, I have a desire to try to be the best among all the other employees who work there. I was worried that policy to recruit the top 1% of the employees in their field and working 100% Remote would be the biggest challenge to achieve my goal of being "the best". In my opinion, if you cannot be the best, you'll be ordinary. So, the first week I was worried about being "ordinary". Then I witnessed how much the remote work has increased my productivity. I soon realized that my concern was in fact pointless. When it comes to being the best, yes I did achieve it. I'm the best on my team. I've been trying to keep that place as mine. I have to admit that it's really hard because I have very strong opponents. 🙂
How did you decide to move to Chief Architect position? Does Crossover support career advancements?
Being a Chief Architect means to put the CTO hat on and lead the team when needed. It means taking responsibility for challenging projects.
I already mentioned that I am a competitive person. This requires a strong self-confidence and mine is based on my technical background and experience. If you have such confidence, it is not for you to be a big fish in a small sea. If you are confident in your abilities, doing the work you do with love and are committed to constantly improving and keeping yourself up to date, you should definitely target higher positions. Along with all these skills and merits, my past experiences were also sufficient for me to apply for the CA position and so I have applied.
You can apply for any position you want at Crossover. For example, you can even apply for an open CEO position. No one will stop you. Each application is examined with great seriousness and you are subject to demanding exams according to your position requirements. And you will be recruited if you prove to be a good fit.
Can you describe your typical day? How do you manage your time daily and weekly as a remote working software engineer?
Working remotely does not mean that you'll underestimate your job. Employees at Crossover are aware that this is a full-time job. You should have the same level of responsibility as you have while working in a physical office environment. The only difference is that you have the opportunity to work in a place where is isolated from adverse factors that would prevent you from focusing, such as the traffic or other external factors. So you earn extra 4-6 hours in a day for your life by avoiding such that factors. You also have the luxury of working even when traveling around the world, as there is no obligation to work in the office.
With the same business discipline, I start my day early in the morning by checking the unread emails in my inbox. I make weekly / monthly plans to make myself the most efficient. That plan includes my start and finish hours and also the hours that I will take a break on daily basis. This really helps me use my time most productively.
Is it hard to be part of a global remote team? How do you manage communication? Do you have any miscommunication problems?
Time zone differences can sometimes be a problem. In those cases, we try to reach each other from channels like e-mail, Skype, Slack. As all employees are transparent and explanatory about their work, in cases of emergencies, someone else who is available in that time interval takes over the responsibility and offers a solution for the problem.
How is your work performance measured?
Actually, we work as a software factory by following Agile methodologies in both project management and development. Mircea recently gave RemoteTips a great interview on how are we managing software engineering. The entire process starting from the first sprint and going to release is planned step by step. Task distribution is done weekly basis and performance is measured by whether or not you perform these tasks. We use WorkSmart tool to track our work and also measure our productivity against our metrics. And also your contribution must meet the quality requirements defined by Product QA team. The best performance could be achieved by avoiding rework. And it is the only way to avoid rework is training yourself for seeing the big picture (from requirements & delivery perspective).
Is it hard to work from home? How do you maintain your self-discipline as a remote working software engineer?
Actually not. As long as you continue to work from home with the discipline of working in the office, there won't be an issue. While working at the office, your boss tells you what time you need to work, but there is nobody in the house asking you for it. If you want to work in a discipline, be your own boss and tell the same to yourself. And plan your hours weekly / monthly.
Do you have any advice for the candidates willing to become a remote working software architect?
Crossover is the best place to work. If you consider that you are a great CA then apply now. You can follow the tournaments for the open job positions on Crossover Eventbrite page. When you decide to apply, it would be great to have following skills and experience to make sure you are one of the best candidates. These skills are:
- J2EE / JEE old components (If you apply for Java CA position)
- Spring Framework (If you apply for Java CA position)
- Persistence
- Relational dbs / SQL
- NoSQL / Search
- InMem dbs / Caching
- Message queuing / broking

"Do you want President Trump to fail? Do you want America to fail?" McCain asks Olbermann.
"View" host Meghan McCain and Keith Olbermann went at it Friday over one of the GQ Special Correspondent's tweet arguing Donald Trump has "done more damage to America than Bin Laden and ISIS combined."
"Three thousand people died on 9/11," McCain said. "The comparison is absurd. Can I tell you something? When I hear rhetoric like that, I think Whoopi [Goldberg] and I are in agreement that we want Americans to come together, and rhetoric like that is so damaging."
Olbermann stood his ground and defended his tweet, claiming that although he applauds America's veterans, the Iraq war "was a waste of people's lives."
"Do you want President Trump to fail?" McCain fired back. "Do you want America to fail? Because I'm genuinely curious."
Olbermann couldn't answer that question because the show cut to commercial break, but when it returned, the guest managed to find more common ground with McCain.
"My favorite person in American politics in the 21st century is your father," Olbermann said. "But what I'm saying is, in retrospect, based upon what we have seen in the last two years in this country, I owe him an apology, I probably owe George W. Bush an apology and I would happily take a third term of George W. Bush rather than this. That's how serious I think it is."
"This is the other bit of common ground," he continued. "What I want, which is to not have Donald Trump as the president, which means Mike Pence is the president. All the policies will be the same, in fact more of them will probably be enacted because there will be less of this friction that's always around Trump... My point is those policies are going to happen one way or another, my argument is not about the politics or the policies, it's about I don't think the guy is stable.

Conservation scientists and foresters manage the use and development of forests, rangelands, and other natural resources. These lands supply wood products, livestock forage, minerals, and water. They serve as sites for recreational activities and provide habitats for wildlife. Some workers advise private landowners on the use and management of their land and may design and implement programs that make the land healthier and more productive.

The UMBC men's lacrosse program had an unprecedented run of success from 2006-09, winning three America East titles and making four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Despite the best efforts of 16 seniors that experienced that level of success, the 2010 Retrievers could not defend their conference title.
As the calendar turns over to 2011, a youth movement has taken hold of the program. Twenty-seven of UMBC's 35 eligible players are freshmen or sophomores, and head coach Don Zimmerman has decided to approach the season like an author staring at a blank computer screen.
"We are wiping the slate clean and are starting over," Zimmerman said. "We had a disappointing year last year. We haven't harped on that, but we haven't forgotten it. We felt we needed to start from ground level and rework what we are doing here. We made that perfectly clear to our incoming players and our returning players that this year we are getting back to square one."
The Retriever mentor and his staff are very enthusiastic about what they have seen in the fall and in the early spring workouts. "I am pleased with the growth of this team. The effort has been consistent, the attitude sincere, both of which will help carry us into the upcoming season."
Offensively, junior attackman Rob Grimm (16 goals, 11 assists in 2010) appears ready to quarterback the fledgling group. He has been a consistent point producer, hitting the scoreboard in 26 of UMBC's 29 games in two seasons. Grimm came on strong down the stretch in 2010, recording 16 points in the Retrievers' final five games. He is equally adept at distributing the ball and finishing around the cage and has continued to display an even greater sense of urgency and leadership qualities entering his junior campaign.
A pair of southpaws are slated to start alongside Grimm up front. Junior Shane Ryznar (9 goals, 1 assist) showed flashes of outstanding play in 2010, leading UMBC's effort against nationally-ranked Maryland with four goals. The 6-foot-3 DeMatha product has excellent size and is versatile enough to finish plays inside or use his reach to hit the cage from all angles. Sophomore Joe Lustgarten (2 assists) saw spot duty in his initial campaign, but added strength in the offseason to complement his slick passing skills.
The rest of the Retriever attack is comprised of first-year players. Red-shirt freshman Matt Gregoire did not compete due to a leg injury in 2010, but he has thrust himself into a position for playing time in 2011. Freshmen Deven Alves and Greg Korvin are also in the mix. Korvin has picked up his game to the point where he could see action on the man-up unit as an inside player early in his tenure.
Junior Ryohei Kato is an exchange student from Japan who is ineligible to compete in games but is a valued member of the squad. Mid-year freshman transfer David Campbell recently suffered a wrist injury and will miss the preseason practice and scrimmages.
Senior co-captain Jamie Kimbles (12 goals, 9 assists) heads up a group of young midfielders for the Retrievers. Kimbles has been a contributor each season but competed on the top midfield unit last year and produced his best lacrosse against high-caliber competition. The Centreville, Md., native will be a prime target for opposing defenses and must continue to raise his level of play to help the Retrievers run a successful offense.
A trio of sophomores will vie for primary minutes on the offensive midfield units. Canadian Scott Jones (2 goals) played attack in his freshman campaign, but the coaching staff moved him to midfield to take advantage of his shooting ability. The staff is also pleased with the leadership role that Jones has assumed on the young Retriever squad. Scott Hopmann (2 goals, 1 assist) andDave Brown (1 assist) each saw extensive playing time last season, and both possess good offensive skills and instincts. Hopmann had his initial season cut short after suffering a hand injury and did not play after producing a two-point game at Binghamton on April 10.
Zach Linkous and Phil Poe lead a group of five freshman midfielders that are looking to break into the top-six grouping. An intense competitor and good shooter, Linkous is already being tabbed as a man-up contributor early in his tenure, while Poe's versatility as a good off-ball player, defender and face-off specialist make him a candidate for playing time in 2011.
Ryan Johnston is recovering from a fall injury, but the Southern Maryland High School All-American is making up ground quickly. Brian Patton and Conor Finch round out the first-year group of midfielders.
UMBC must replace both groups of defensive midfielders. Three sophomores—Neill Lewnes,Tony Spada and Jake Zimmerman—are the prime candidates for the two short-stick defensive midfield positions. Lewnes saw the most playing time of the trio last year, and the scrappy former St. Mary's standout can also help out on draws. After the 2010 campaign, Spada was shifted from offense to defense and adapted very quickly in the fall. Zimmerman is one of the fastest Retrievers and will push for additional playing time this spring.
Freshmen Marcellus Preston and Matt Reeping, a walk-on, are also candidates for the position.
At long-stick midfield, sophomore Ethan Murphy was Mike Camardo's back-up in 2010, which relegated the West Seneca, N.Y., native to spot duty. But Murphy and freshman Nathan Kleinare both hard workers and give the coaching staff two viable options at that demanding position.
Fifth-year senior J.D. Harkey was selected by his teammates as a co-captain along with Kimbles for the 2011 season. Harkey heads up UMBC's face-off specialist unit and will be supported by Poe, Lewnes and sophomore Joseph Impallaria. Harkey has been the starter in three consecutive seasons, but he suffered a torn ACL several games into the 2009 campaign and only competed in four contests. He came back in 2010 and won nearly 50 percent of his team-high 213 draws attempted, keying victories over Rutgers and Binghamton.
Impallaria is a pure face-off specialist, while Poe and Lewnes could fill dual roles for the Retrievers.
UMBC is likely to use a myriad of players at close defense in 2011. Upperclassmen David Stock,Tim Shaeffer and Aaron Verardi are expected to see a great deal of action early in the campaign. Stock, a transfer from CCBC-Essex, did not compete in a spring game in 2010 but has adjusted to UMBC's system and should be a factor in his senior campaign.
Shaeffer, a junior, came on late in the season and started five of the Retrievers' final six games. He displayed good stickwork on ground balls and moved the ball efficiently out of the defensive end. Verardi also earned more minutes in his second season and demonstrated a workman-like nature to his game on the backline.
Three sophomores will push the aforementioned group for playing time. Riley Hansen did not compete in a spring game in 2010, but the smart, well-conditioned Annapolis native has been turning heads in practice and should see action in his second season at UMBC. Sam McKelveyand Lucas Wood each got a taste of Division I lacrosse as freshmen and give the coaching staff quality options in front of the UMBC cage.
In addition, Coach Zimmerman and defensive coordinator Pat Tracy both feel that freshman close defenders Ian Gray and Breck Merritt have bright futures at the Division I level.
Like 2010, there is no clear starter in goal for the Retrievers. But whereas the staff was evaluating four netminders last season, junior Brian McCullough and sophomore Adam Cohen are the candidates for the starting position when UMBC opens at Presbyterian on Feb. 19. McCullough started two games in 2010—against Johns Hopkins and Princeton—while Cohen earned a team-high eight starts in his initial campaign.
The majority of UMBC's schedule replicates those challenging slates of the past several years. The Retrievers compete against North Carolina, Johns Hopkins and Maryland in a three-week span in March, and all three games are away from the confines of UMBC Stadium. When the Retrievers open America East play on April 3, it will be at defending league champion Stony Brook, which is ranked sixth nationally in the preseason coaches' poll and is a prohibitive favorite to repeat as champion.
"Going into the preseason, we were well aware of our conference ranking,," Zimmerman said of the America East's preseason poll which has the Retrievers in the fourth position. ". Last year we were not successful. The three teams that beat us are ranked ahead of us, as they should be.
"But that was last year and this is this year."
In other words, a clean slate.
Coach Zimmerman's goals for the program remain unchanged—win the America East Conference and go to the NCAA Tournament. "You have to strive for that," he said. "We have some young guys, but they have talent. They are listening; they pick things up and there are no 'attitudes'. When you have that type of commitment, the coaches are excited about getting out there, we do a better job coaching and the players pick up on that, and that raises their level and that is how you climb the ladder. Our goal is to get better during the course of the year, be playing our best lacrosse as we go into conference play and hit our peak when it counts most at the conference tournament in early May.
"We have to be patient but demanding. I think our players are responding well to both. We are trying to keep it fun and introduce new things to get the guys' attention. When a team possesses a positive attitude and workman-like approach every day in practice, patience and expectations grow."
"There is a lot of energy around our program. The players are eager knowing they have an opportunity to win a playing position. Couple that with the fact that they want to be successful makes for a lot of good energy and that's what it is going to take for us to go to where we want to go."

Happy Saturday Everyone!
Ohh my heart…doing some major swooning over this dress! I love a good statement dress. Ruffles, Ntoma, white, sleeveless, body-con…it is absolutely perfect! Accentuating curves always adds such a feminine touch and I'm always drawn to extra feminine, girly dresses. This one has such a classic feel to it – something to keep in your closet for years to come! From wedding guest to church to red carpet to date night, this dress is a definite show stopper. No wonder it's my most engaged post on Instagram ever, almost 500 saves and countless re-posts. This dress is the real MVP mehn

Introduction to Part II 127
Answering the Zionist Narrative 127
(Taken from FAQ from "Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide" by Ben White)
Isn't singling out Israel for criticism anti-semitic? 128
Criticising certain Israeli government policies is one thing. But surely demonising Israel, and denying its very right to exist as a Jewish state is anti-semitic? 128
The English have England, and the French have France. Why deny the right of the Jews to a state of their own? 129
Undeniably, you can find racism in Israeli society. But why don't you condemn the hate-preachers and racists in Palestinian society as well? 130
Isn't Israel the only democracy in the Middle East? 130
In 2005, Israel actually withdrew from the Gaza Strip. But instead of concentrating on building up an economy and demonstrating a desire for peace, haven't Palestinians responded to this painful concession with rocket fire and terrorism? 131
When the Palestinians voted in 2006, they chose Hamas, a Muslim fundamentalist terror group sworn to Israel's destruction. How can the Israelis be expected to feel like making concessions? 133
People talk about the Palestinian refugees, but weren't a similar number of Jewish refugees kicked out of Arab countries and welcomed by Israel? 134
Haven't the Arab countries used the Palestinian refugees as a political football, leaving them to rot in refugee camps? 135
Hundreds of thousands of Jews came to live in Israel as survivors of the Holocaust and because there was nowhere else for them to go. How can you simply label them as racist colonisers? 136
Why have the Palestinians continued to reject a compromise with Israel, from the very beginning of the state in 1948, to Arafat's 'No' at Camp David? 136
Excerpts from Counter-Rhetoric: Challenging "conventional wisdom" & reframing the conflict. By Emily Schaeffer, Jeff Halper, & Jimmy Johnson 138
Reframing the Conflict 138
The land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people 139
The Arabs only came to this country after the Zionists started to build the country 139
The refugees left voluntarily or under direction of Arab commanders 140
There were no massacres 140
If events had been turned around, the Arabs would have massacred us 140
There is no occupation. It is disputed territory. 141
The settlements are for security 141
The other Arabs don't help the Palestinians 141
Jews and Arabs cannot live together peacefully and/or never have 141
The Arabs have no concept of human rights 142
The real problem is the anti-Semitic propaganda that Palestinians receive since childhood 142
There are no Palestinians 142
There are 22 Arab states, why can't the Palestinians go there? 143
The Palestinians do not want peace 143
Most Palestinians are terrorists or support terrorists 143
The Palestinians will never be satisfied with part of the land, they want it all 144
There is no partner for peace 144
The Palestinians rejected Barak's 'Generous Offer' and then responded in violence 144
The Palestinians have ruined every possibility of peace 145
Even if Israel withdraws, all the Arabs want is to throw the Jews into the sea 145
The PA can't control its people. Until the PA controls terrorism, we cannot end the occupation 145
The Palestinians fare better under the occupation than they would under their own PA 146
The Wall is not a wall, but a fence/ The wall is 85% a fence 146
The Wall is for security 146
The Wall is temporary 147
If we take down the Wall, there will be more attacks. Gaza is a testament to the effectiveness of a wall 147
If the Palestinians were given the right of return, there would be no room for them. If there is the Right of Return, the Jewish state will no longer be Jewish 147
Anti-Occupation and/or anti-Zionist Jews are 'self-hating' 148
Criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic 148
The whole world is anti-Semitic 149
Double Standard: The world judges Israel more harshly than it does other countries. The UN is anti-Semitic 149
Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East 149
There is no contradiction between a Jewish state and a democracy 149
Israel has the most humane army in the world 150
Israel treats its Arab citizens better than Arabs are treated in Arab countries 150

There have been plenty of leaks and rumors surrounding the HTC M8(One Plus, One 2) since we learned that it would indeed be the next Flagship device from the Taiwanese manufacturer, but some of those leaks that popped up earlier today were promptly shot down by the Director for HTC's Netherlands Division, stating that the images were Photoshopped, basically saying they were obvious fakes. The tweet posted to his personal Twitter account was thrown up around 8 am in the morning, and here we are at nearly 2pm in the afternoon PST on the west coast, and were just starting to learn of a couple more leaked images coming out of Russia that have surfaced of the M8. We're not exactly sure if this just some attempt at a comedic response to Mark Moon's tweet, or if these images are real and the poster just happened to catch the perfect opportunity to post them. Whatever the case may be, the question is whether or not someone from HTC will take to the web to debunk these leaks as well.
If they do, we suspect that it wouldn't be long for these images to circulate around the web and get noticed by HTC. Judging by the look of the photos, this time from a frontal view instead of the back like the ones Moon tweeted about, the images bare a fairly close resemblance to the previous HTC flagship that we all know and love. The dual front speakers seem to be present on the front for the HTC M8, at least, if we're to believe these leaked photos are indeed that of the device, and there are absolutely no front buttons anywhere in sight. There have been rumors that the HTC M8 would make the jump to sporting the on screen navigation buttons at the bottom to fall more in line with what Google wants for the Android design guidelines, so it makes the images a little believable. However, a leak is still a leak and until a confirmation comes from HTC themselves, you're best off to assume nothing and reserve judgement.
In addition to the lack of physical buttons on the face of the device in the photos, @evleaks who is rather well known for credible leaks and rumors about upcoming devices, stated in a tweet that the M8 would look a lot like the HTC One. If these images are true then it would seem that his statement about that fact would be correct. We are inching ever closer to the month of March when the HTC M8 is rumored to be launching,(also tweeted by @evleaks) so we'll know soon enough what the M8 actually looks like.

The Story of the Fourth of July
The Declaration of Independence
We celebrate American Independence Day on the Fourth of July every year. We think of July 4, 1776, as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation.
But July 4, 1776 wasn't the day that the Continental Congress decided to declare independence (they did that on July 2, 1776).
It wasn't the day we started the American…Continue
