Bring out the similarities between the Metephysical poets with the extracts from their poems.
- print Print
- list Cite
In England, during the reign of Charles I, there were two political movements: the Cavaliers and the Puritans. Perhaps not so uniquely, there were two literary movements—most specifically in poetry—of the Cavalier and Metaphysical poets.
They two movements (political and literary) were defined by a Carpe Diem attitude (the Cavaliers) as opposed to a religious ideology (Puritans and Metaphysicals).
...the term "Metaphysical poets" was coined to refer to certain writers, primarily of religious verse.
This is not to say that one had to be a Puritan to be a Metaphysical poet—however, the two groups had the same profound focus in life based on religious themes. This genre of poetry was not a passing phase:
...the term "Metaphysical poets" remained useful to literary historians for more than two hundred years.
But, it should be noted that Metaphysical poets were not always religious in their writing. Some of their poetry was love poetry and similar characteristics can be seen in these poems.There are a number of names associated with Metaphysical poetry. Perhaps the two of the most well-known were John Donne and Andrew Marvell.
Ironically, Donne (who was later known as a devoutly religious man in his later years) started his career writing love sonnets. "The Flea" was written with the express purpose of seducing a woman: the theme of the poem is that if a flea bites a man and a woman, their blood is intermingled and they are as one, so that having sex is not a problem.
It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.
Donne goes on to say that the flea enjoys a more intimate relationship that he and the woman he is pursuing:
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two;
And this, alas! is more than we would do.
O stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, yea, more than married are.
Here Donne has noted that while the flea has "enjoyed" both of them, Donne has not "enjoyed" the woman he woos.
Andrew Marvell's work may sound like Donne's...
Andrew Marvell, influenced by the work of Ben Jonson and John Donne, was the last major poet with their qualities and habits of mind.
What is so similar between "The Flea" and Marvell's very famous "To His Coy Mistress" is that each presents an argument by the speaker to entice a woman to enter into a sexual relationship with him. The speaker notes that if life were to go on forever, taking their time in their relationship would be no worry:
Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love's day...
In essence, the author is saying "Life is short," and this is his argument, that they make the best use of their time together.
If time were not an issue...
I would
Love you ten years before the Flood;
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
Because life is short, Marvell encourages this woman to join him in sweet love-making. Though they cannot make time stand still, they can "make much of time."
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.
Both poems intend to woo; rather than religious, they are love poems with the same intent.

Hint: It involves implementing a digital retailing strategy with messaging woven into it. And we've got a guide to help you make it work. SEE HOW
Craigslist has been around since 1996 with approximately 49 million unique page views. The question is do you advertise there and what do you advertise?
I have been dabbling with Craigslist for a couple of months with our used car inventory. At one point, I was putting all 150 vehicles on there. I was finding through analytics that the higher priced vehicles weren't getting much action, but I had found a sweet spot with vehicles that are under $10,000. If I have something that is a little higher up to $11,000, I may post it depending on what it is.
You have to post effectively and be consistent with it. I post every Thursday or Friday with about 30 vehicles. I see my website traffic go up significantly when I post. People are looking for that $10,000 vehicle that is a cherry. We have a tool within our website provider that will generate code for us and all I have to do is cut and copy to the appropriate fields. Click here to see an example of a Craigslist ad that we have.
When you click on the vehicle presentation, it takes you to our dealership website. Just by posting about 30 vehicles a week generated 348 unique visitors and 2312 page views in January. We had some customers walking in with print outs of the ads. We had 16 phone calls, and we had 12 email inquiries. I know that I can account for 18 sales that we know of that they saw the vehicle on Craigslist in January. Of those sales, that generated $42,966 of gross profit for the store. Not a bad return on investment since all it cost was time.
The question is are you posting there and how are you doing it? Are you linking back to your dealership website? Are you posting with pictures? Do you have a tracking number within the ad so you can track the effectiveness? Are you willing to step outside the box and post with personal ads, ads for 'junk items'? Maybe you will think it is a better idea to post there with that other stuff that is on there and dominate your market. Good luck with your postings.

Here are some recent trends that we are seeing within the drug development sector that are set to make a difference:
1. Cloud computing.
Cloud computing is allowing for faster collection of data across the globe. A large part of testing whether a drug is effective happens during the live trial stage. Some trials span many countries and over thousands of patients. Making the data collection process a complicated affair. First, cloud computing provides an efficient way to find patients who could benefit from clinical trials. Second, information that is collected and stored in the cloud streamlines data analysis. While it previously could take up to a year before studies could draw conclusive data, now it takes between one to two weeks. Data can also be mined from a wider array of sources, such as wearable health devices and electronic health diaries. All these aspects go far to help bridge partners working together within the drug development sector.
2. Artificial intelligence driven drug discovery.
Innovative drug makers are looking to tech companies with a strong AI background to help them more effectively create and test new drugs. Developing new drugs and bringing them to a market-ready state can take up to over a decade of research and clinical study. In Tokyo, a consortium of drug companies have combined their efforts to receive government funding. Over 100 researchers from the various companies are set to work together alongside select IT companies. The aim is to develop a program that will be able to select and discard potentially harmful compounds in advance of clinical trials.
There are, of course, other applications of AI and Big Data in healthcare, not limited to drug discovery. We are seeing an increasing number of AI companies that are using their algorithms to provide patient risk scoring to providers. Oncology is another field that is benefiting from AI. With companies collecting blood samples from at-risk individuals to see if early detection is possible.
3. Expanding cancer drug development.
Today, more drugs are in development to combat cancer than any other drugs targeting other focuses. According to a Biopharm Insight Report for 2016, 718 clinical trials were cancer related. This was a 14 percent increase from the number calculated in 2015. With 500 companies working in the field of oncology, the pipeline of cancer drugs has seen a 60 percent growth in the last 10 years. At present, the 10 largest sellers of cancer drugs have 130 potential candidates in final stages of testing.
Cancer continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide, and 1 in 3 individuals will be diagnosed with cancer at some point. So it is no wonder it has a prominent place in drug research.
Other trends in cancer drugs include...
· More drugs available in oral form versus injectable form.
· Cancer drugs are expensive. However, drug manufacturers appear to be doing what they can to shoulder development costs. We have seen the number of coupons helping to pay for prescriptions being used to offset drug prices.
Ever stopped to consider how many times your own life has been saved by advances in medicine that were not available in the nineteenth century? Doing so makes one realize the importance of drug research and development. As always, when it comes to drug development, time and expense slows down the process of bringing new drugs to market. But with advances in technology, more innovative ways of drug development continue to expand as do treatment options.

MOTORISTS are being reminded to keep valuables out of view of thieves.
Police are giving out tips to help car crime across Sunderland continue to fall this year.
Neighbourhood Inspector Lisa Musgrove said: "The number of cars being broken into and items stolen is falling and we want to make sure it stays that way.
"Having your car broken into is not just an inconvenience but can be a great expense and unfortunately a valuable item left lying on the seat makes it an easy target for thieves.
"Between April and December last year there were 328 fewer thefts from motor vehicles across Sunderland, by hiding valuable items, or even better, not leaving them in the car in the first place, people can help us reduce that even further.
"Members of the public can rest assured that we are not letting car thieves rest on their laurels and will continue to take action to make sure they're caught and put before the courts.
"By following some simple crime prevention advice, residents can help put a stop to thefts and help stop themselves from being victims of crime."
Drivers are being reminded not to leave their cars unattended with the engines running and to never leave the keys in the ignition.
Windows, sunroofs and doors should always be locked and valuable items, including satnavs, mobile phones and handbags, should not be on show.
When parking, stay away from trees and bushes and leave your car in a secure spot.

Briem Akademi font family
Up to 0 Typefaces
The typeface Briem Akademi began as an exercise in a course of type design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. It was later extended by the tutor, Gunnlaugur S.F. Briem, and reflects his interest in modules on a grid. Briem used a single curve for most of the characters and, where possible, the same slant for all diagonals. In some letters, the X for example, the modules needed shallower curves. A few, such as Z, demanded diagonals of their own. The normal width is highly legible, even in small sizes. The condensed version is ideal for display applications. The most compressed version works best where legibility is less important than dramatic visual effect. Use darker weights for use at display sizes or for distinctive headlines.

Mosque blast suspect released as Theresa May says she is 'shocked and sickened' by attacks
ONE of two Ukrainian men arrested in connection with a series of mosque bombings has been released without charge, police have said.
The 22-year-old, who was arrested last week, is now helping counter terrorism officers as a witness, West Midlands Police said.
He had been detained last week along with a 25-year-old fellow Ukrainian in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in connection with explosions which went off near three mosques in the West Midlands.
The 25-year-old man continues to be questioned on suspicion of being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism, following the explosions.
The man in custody was further arrested on Saturday on suspicion of the murder of 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem in Small Heath, on April 29.
The stabbing of Mr Saleem, a highly-regarded and well-known figure in the local community, was described by detectives at the time as a "despicable" attack on a defenceless pensioner.
Mr Saleem's murder is now part of a wider investigation being carried out by the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit.
What happened in the West Midlands is a reminder that terrorism affects people of all backgrounds.
Police cordons are expected to be lifted in Tipton and Wolverhampton later today, while police continue to search an industrial unit in Small Heath and a forensic team is investigating the area near where Mr Saleem was attacked.
Meanwhile, the Home Secretary has pledged her full support to the anti-terror officers.
Theresa May said she was "shocked and sickened" at the bomb attacks and murder of Mohammed Saleem.
In a statement, Ms May said: "I have been shocked and sickened at the brutal murder of Mohammed Saleem and recent attacks on mosques in the West Midlands, all of which are now being investigated as terrorist incidents.
"The West Midlands Police have my full support in their on-going investigation.
"I have spoken with Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale and I have asked that I am kept up-to-date with the latest developments.
"The Security Minister James Brokenshire will also be visiting Birmingham on Tuesday to meet those who have been directly affected.
"What happened in the West Midlands is a reminder that terrorism affects people of all backgrounds.
"Just as we saw people coming together to denounce Woolwich, so we must come together and stand firm against extremism whatever form it takes."

IT MAY be good for the heart, but noni juice is hard on the nose and maybe even the kidneys. Christina Larmer investigates.
The pros and cons of noni juice
It may be good for the heart, but noni juice is hard on the nose and maybe even the kidneys. Christina Larmer investigates.
What is it?
• Noni juice comes from the fruit of the noni (Morinda citrifolia), a small, tropical, evergreen tree that's recognised by its bumpy, 'grenade-like' greenish/yellow fruit. It grows throughout the tropics, including Southeast Asia, India, Fiji, Hawaii, Tahiti and northern Australia where it's sometimes called cheese fruit.
• It's also nicknamed 'the vomit fruit' because of its strong, pungent smell, which worsens as the fruit ripens—some claim you can smell it up to five metres away! Fortunately, noni fruit tastes better than it smells, although it's fairly bland which is why it's usually blended with other fruits when juicing.
• There are lots of other names for noni around the world, including Indian mulberry, mengkudu, canary wood, ach and 'the painkiller bush' in the Caribbean where it's long been used for joint pain and skin conditions.
• In Polynesia, the noni plant has been used for up to 2000 years as food, medicine and dye. The roots, stems, bark, leaves, flowers and fruits of the noni are still used in many traditional societies to treat a range of conditions from nausea and period pain to asthma and tuberculosis. In Malaysia, noni leaves are used to wrap fresh fish for baking*1, and in Burma the fruit is used in curries and eaten raw with salt.
• Today, noni juice is growing in popularity, especially in the US and Southeast Asia, where you can buy pre-packaged organic noni juice from health food stores and some supermarkets. It's also available in teas, capsules, tablets and powder form—which is usually higher in nutrients like Vitamin C, niacin, iron and potassium.
Why it's so good
• Noni juice alone has relatively low levels of vitamin C however its antioxidants are said to be helpful for heart disease and high blood pressure. One US study of smokers, found those who drank noni juice daily for a month had a significant drop in total cholesterol and triglycerides. However, the study was funded by a US noni juice manufacturer so more impartial research is needed.
• Another US researcher reviewed the results of 10,000 noni users and found that regular consumption helped reduce symptoms in cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers. Other preliminary research shows that it helps maintain a healthy immune system and may have tumour-fighting properties. The US National Cancer Institute is currently funding research into noni's potential prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
• There are lots of other, even less substantiated health claims for noni juice. Advocates say it helps regulate hormone production, builds and strengthens bones, deters premature aging, boosts energy and physical performance, and helps with arthritis, obesity, chronic fatigue, depression, indigestion, allergies, headaches, drug addiction, colds, flu, and more.
What to watch out for
• Noni juice has high potassium levels making it potentially dangerous to people with chronic kidney disease. Published case reports also show that some people suffer liver damage with noni juice. If you have these conditions, speak to your GP first.
• Noni fruit contains high levels of glucose and is not recommended for those with diabetes. Large volumes of noni juice may also cause constipation.
• Noni juice can be pricey and hard to find, and you can easily get the same health benefits from more affordable juices like orange, cranberry and tomato. (There is more Vitamin C in a raw orange than a glass of noni juice.)

How to implement custom authentication in WordPress based on SQL Server user dat
We have an asp.net site (C#, IIS7) with a SQL Server back end, and we use standard asp.net login controls to authenticate users of the site. We're building a WordPress site for our content pages, and need to limit access to some of these WP pages based on various criteria in our SQL Server database. Ideally, someone visiting a protected WP page would be directed to the asp.net login page and after logging in, would be authorized access to the WP page based on some custom criteria like their membership is current, or they are an active member of a certain committee (info you get by querying the database). We'll need to be able to limit access to various WP pages based on a wide range of criteria, basically anything about our users, so it would be nice to just have to write a new stored procedure for each new set of criteria and somehow reference that when checking for authorization. Both the asp.net pages and WordPress pages are within the same domain.
Any suggestions on the best way to implement this?

Information about Vinyl Windows
More vinyl windows are sold than all other types of window construction combined – about 67 percent of the residential window market. That's because vinyl combines low cost with durability, reliability and energy performance. Vinyl is virtually indestructible, impervious to moisture and insect- and rot-proof.
- Low maintenance
- Great insulating value
- Beauty and appearance of wood without the hassle of maintaining it
- Strength and durability
- Excellent resistance to rotting, corrosion, salt air, termites and air pollutants.
- Vinyl retains its finish – there's no need to sand, re-stain and repaint!
- Vinyl won't pit, peel or flake like wood.
- Vinyl holds up to repeated use, maintaining its beauty year after year.
- The only maintenance vinyl usually required is a quick washing, after which it looks as good as new.
- Beautiful, durable and realistic interior wood laminates are available today is a variety of popular woodgrains such as oak, cherry and maple. Allowing you to have the rich look of wood in your home with all the maintenance.
- Draft-stopping – Because vinyl is airtight, it restricts airflow in areas of your home where air movement is unnecessary. This helps you eliminate uncomfortable drafts from small holes and gaps between windows and walls.
- Energy Savings – By helping regulate indoor temperature and control airflow, your home's HVAC system won't have to work quite as hard as it normally does. This translates into big utility savings and less wear and tear on your HVAC system
Vinyl is a good alternative to other types of window materials because of its price and energy efficiency. It's made from a plastic material called polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC has a high R-value, which means it provides a significant amount of insulation. Price and energy efficiency are just a few advantages of vinyl windows.
The price you will pay for vinyl windows is lower than that of any other type. It is almost unbelievable to consider that you get all these benefits at lower prices than you would pay for other replacement windows with fewer benefits.

kaki panjang
everything pointed to I should start fresh with someone new just like my twin sister. if you asked, the feelings, the affections were long gone but there are times I found myself still caring about him. whatever he did, didn't hurt as much as it used to but it still hurts at times. last Ramadhan was a really sad one indeed because we broke up during that time. I pray that this time, I really don't have to go through those nights I cry myself to sleep. It really hurts me to be with someone who's not completely in love me. who always have someone else lingers at the back of his mind. and I was stupid to still be there and hope one day it will be just me and me only. I don't hate him but I can't get over his words. his excuses and his lies. and all those times, I trusted him, as a friend and as my loved one. this is one of those heartbreak that really breaks. and I wish no more of this. Salam Ramadhan to you and forgive me for still having our memories linger around in my mind and how I still talk about you. and still not over you. do not come back to me when later one day you may feel empty and lonely. because you once made me felt that way and you were not there to make it go away. somehow I'm pretty sure you won't feel that way because you have her. you have her back. you're back with her. excuse me for having a hard time digesting this. I won't be that annoying ex who keeps bothering you because once, I hate her for being that. and I'm trying not to be a person I will hate. if you wonder, that's how I feel about you. and her. and I summed this up with, one word. strong dislike :-)
I want these indoor clouds in my own room. pretty please?

other than these, I've been Candy Crushing and Tumblring a lot.
hopefully I can start pray, fast and tarawikh soon.
I don't want to miss a lot of them.
till then, assalamualaikum :-)

Mernet Larsen
Various Small Fires / Los Angeles
Born in 1940, Florida based painter Mernet Larsen exhibits a body of older as well as recent paintings in her Los Angeles debut. These moderate-sized canvases feature geometrically distorted figures that populate skewed interior and exterior spaces. After teaching painting in Florida for over 35 years, Larsen had her first New York gallery show in 2012, where the works were applauded for their uniqueness, wit and charm. Larsen's paintings have a purposeful naiveté, a quality that is also prevalent in the works of younger painters including Jonas Wood and Avery Singer, who are known for works that flatten space and figures.
The figures and the world they inhabit are somewhat reminiscent of Edwin Abbott's novella Flatland, a story about cultural hierarchies and class, subjects that also inhabit Larsen's paintings. To this end, the perspective in Larsen's work is often intentionally wrong—forms and figures do not recede in a realistic fashion—making the depictions of natural, urban and domestic spaces unsettling and claustrophobic. Each figure is a quasi-robot comprised of interlocking rectangles styled to represent heads, hair, arms, legs and other body parts. The figures in Conductor (2012) and Skier (2013) emanate from the bottom of the paintings as vertical posts with long sinewy outstretched arms. The featureless skier faces away from the viewer, skis pointing down the slope in front of an abstracted chairlift and rows of snow-covered triangular trees. The conductor, also facing away from the viewer, directs a chorus singing for the audience in a vast yellow-toned hall.
The works are humorous (though not cartoony), insightful and perceptive. Aw (2003), one of the earliest works in the show, features a diapered infant whose perpendicular legs and arms reach out to male and female figures whose angular bodies bend down but do not touch the child. The body language and expressions of the figures seated around an L-shaped table in Faculty Meeting (2008) exemplifies the sentiments of those who suffer through the tedium of these mandatory meetings. The speaker whose rounded face and hand borders the edge of the painting confronts eight expressionless male and female figures who seem to want to be anyplace but there. The Salad (2013) features a pointy-breasted woman wearing a purple dress who appears to have left her chair. She stands tall at the top of the painting behind a wooden table that gets smaller as it comes forward in space. Salad servers in hand, she is ready to serve the tiny figures in the foreground. The realistically painted table and wood floor depict an impossible space though not an uncommon occurrence—a woman serving her family.
Larsen's paintings represent abstracted real-life situations and occurrences. She presents familiar places and activities—cafes, concert halls, ski slopes, gun shooting, sawing, walking, biking, handshaking—as if they had been sandwiched between two pieces of glass. This reduction or stripping away of details infuses the paintings with a new personality, one based on intuition rather than observation.

Somebody Called Me Skinny Today!
Monday, August 29, 2011
I was leaving my office today to get a coffee before a meeting when I ran into the undergraduate coordinator for the Aerospace Engineering department. I haven't seen her in a couple of weeks so it was nice to see her. She asked about my husband (after all, she did deal with him for eight years!) and we discussed how he'd left New Orleans just to end up in Connecticut with hurricanes (irony of ironies!). In the conversation she called me skinny! :D
Now, I know I'm not as skinny as I could be, nor am I as skinny as I will be but it's nice for somebody who hasn't seen you in a while to notice! WooHoo!
And another friend of mine who sees me about twice a week noticed that I'm getting smaller. Actually, he (notice it's a he...) asked if I'd gotten taller. Of course not. I haven't grown in years! However I look taller because I'm losing inches (that's what he said when I told him I haven't grown taller...).
Also today I had to put on a pair of jeans I've never worn before because my current favorites are too large and I can't deny it anymore. :) It kind of makes me sad as I haven't nearly worn out the favorites but at the same time, I'm about to go on vacation this weekend and it gives me a reason to buy more jeans (as I only have 1 pair that fit now).
All this said, I weighed in today and I hadn't lost any weight. Now, I haven't gained but I haven't lost. I was a little bummed about it until two people noticed my efforts.
Lesson? It's not all about weight (I KNOW this but I tend to forget sometimes) and I NEED to start measuring again!
I know some people don't like it when others notice that they've lost weight, but I sure do! How about you? Does it bother you when people comment on your weight loss?

What if you Could Hear What God Hears?
Something strange happened to Sam Bennett this morning. One minute he was sleeping peacefully. Then he was having the strangest dream.
And now—Sam is hearing things. Voices, from people all around him . . . people who aren't speaking. The waitress in the coffee shop. The elevator operator in Sam's office building. His wife, his secretary, even his pastor. Sam now has insight into people's hearts. He hears their deepest needs just by being near them.
But what can one listener do for a world of souls in need of help?
Don't miss this special story about a world of lost people in desperate need, and the gifts we Christians have been given to rescue them. Formerly published as The Heart Reader, this book has become a collector's item, bought by the case by churches and groups who want to ignite the fire of evangelism in their flocks.
Terri Blackstock has signed all her proceeds for this book over to Samaritan's Purse, which is committed to meeting the needs of hurting people around the world, and bringing them the message of the Good News of Christ.

One of the biggest "improvements" that Mozilla claims is the Firefox memory usage, in particular, the vanquishing of memory leaks. Although Firefox memory usage improved a little over the last few years, it still uses a lot of memory; a little more than I feel comfortable with and for this reason I created Firemin.
Memory Leaks
We like keeping our apps running for a few days (that's just the way I roll) and because of this Firefox was using over ~800MB of memory after about 3 days. It's quite normal for Firefox to be sucking up over 200MB of memory right off the bat. In a memory leak you'll see the memory usage keep increasing the longer the program is open/in-use and this is exactly what happens with Firefox.
Enter Firemin
Rather than complain about it, we decided to fix it. Enter Firemin; simply put, it will attempt to eliminate Firefox memory leaks and decrease the amount of memory Firefox uses. All I did was tweak our Memory Booster a little and applied it to Firefox (including Firefox extensions) and all the memory leaks was gone.
Firemin vs. Windows Memory Management
Windows will also periodically scan running processes and tell them to release their unused memory. You could argue that this makes Firemin unnecessary, and you would be spot on. However, It is my opinion that Windows does not clean out memory as often as I would like it to. Firemin runs the clean memory API call a few times per second.
The method Firemin uses to decrease Firefox memory usage is not proven and the debate over if it works or not will go on until the end of time, but the logic remains; if it works for you, use it and if it does not, don't use it. It is really that simple.
Firemin uses the exceptional Firefox 2005 icons by Jairo Boudewyn (weboso).
Download Complete Internet Repair
Firemin comes in two flavors. A setup utility for installing Firemin to your computer and a portable version for running it straight from a memory stick or portable hard drive. The portable version will not write any settings to the registry or leave any traces on your computer.

Whoever said that a dog was man's best friend is not true! Because a man's best friend is his pee! Wondering how?
There are many interesting facts about pee that you should know and we're sure you would agree with this fact that pee is a man's best friend, though it sounds crazy!
Also Read: Most Adulterous Countries In The World
Peeing on time can take you out from embarrassing painful situations where your mind gets blocked otherwise.
The discomfort during an important meeting or looking out for places where you could pee while travelling also show just how important it is for us to pee on time!
Also Read: Do You Know That These Jobs Can Give You Cancer?
These are some of the factors that make us realise that pee is indeed the best friend of a man!
Apart from this, check out some of the interesting facts that you should know about peeing.
Fact #1
Did you know that a person pees 7 times in a day. If a person pees more frequently or lesser than that, then it is an alarming indication of some serious underlying health issue.
Fact #2
A healthy person's peeing lasts for about 7 seconds on an average. If the person feels the urge to pee and the peeing session lasts only upto 2 seconds or so, then the person might be suffering from an infection.
Fact #3
The food that we eat gets segregated in various forms. The body only retains the essential products, the unwanted by-products leave the body as urine and stool.
Fact #4
Did you know that the Romans used to gargle using their own pee? Hell yeah, they believed that urine contains ammonia that would help in whitening their teeth. Ewww!!
The colour of your pee can indicate your well-being. If it is clear, then you are well hydrated, and if it is pale yellow, then you are hydrated enough; if dark yellow, you are less hydrated. Apart from this, if it is brown, red or pink, then you need to check with a doctor.
Fact #6
The bladder of an adult can hold approximately around 300 to 500 ml of urine.
Fact #7
If your pee has a sweet smell, then it might be a sign of diabetes. So, make sure you closely watch the characteristics of your pee though it may sound quite disgusting, it is important you keep a check on it!

text: Hi everyone... so, here's the deal. I have an event on March 3rd that I have to attend. I am planning on wearing a dress that I bought a few years back and have not yet worn. Problem: It is too tight. It's very close to fitting, so it's not like I need to drop 10 pounds. I am already cutting out sugar from my diet (the rest of my diet is pretty good) and I am kicking the exercise program into high gear. I also will be drinking Green tea daily (it'll make me feel like I'm helping my metabolism, even if it isn't). Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to lose ideally 2-3 pounds HEALTHILY in this amount of time? Thanks in advance!

Best Android keyboard: Traditional keyboards
\One of Android's best and most oft-overlooked features is its ability to switch out the default keyboard for an alternative. These come with extra, innovative features and are a vast improvement on the stock keyboards.
There are hundreds on the Play Store, too, and you can change keyboards until you find one you like. With this in mind, we've selected nine of the best keyboards available on Android devices.
But before you download them, it's a good idea to work out what sort of typer you are. Some people love swanky swipe interfaces, whereas others feel more comfortable with more tactile traditional keyboards. On top of those are some really odd keyboards which do something a little different.
- Best Android phone: which is right for you?
Switching between the various keyboards can be a bit of a pain, but if you tap the menu key on your device, choose "Settings" and then go to "Language & keyboard" you'll be able to choose which ones are active, and which one is currently set as the default.
Smart Keyboard
Smart Keyboard doesn't include any gimmicks such as predictive phrases or swipe-based typing, but it's a solid and substantial offering nevertheless. There's a free trial available on the Play Store, and the only difference between this and the full version (£1.96) is an occasional nag screen to annoy you into buying it.
A really nice feature of Smart Keyboard is the ability to adjust the height of the keys. With other keyboards this is done with some pre-defined defaults, but Smart Keyboard uses sliders for an infinitesimal degree of customisation. This means you can have nice big keys if you struggle to see or hit standard ones, or really small ones if you want to increase your screen's real estate.
Smart Keyboard ships with an iPhone-style keyboard by default, and it works just as well as Apple's sleek and fluid option. There are other options for specific devices such as HTC or Galaxy smartphones, as well as standard Android offerings.
If you really want to get your hands dirty it supports an open-source keyboard format which means you can create your own, and even use these with other keyboards.
Download this if… You want big or small keys
Avoid this if… You don't like gimmicks
Verdict: 4/5
If there was an award for best-looking keyboard, Adaptxt would win it hands – or fingers – down. Its spacious and airy layout and translucent graphics make it look and feel like something you'd find on a premium laptop – albeit in a virtual form.
Adaptxt also includes a handful of incredibly useful features. At the time of writing the Olympics are about to begin, and typing sports-related keywords lights a lightbulb icon at the bottom of the screen which takes you straight to the relevant Wikipedia page. There's also an incredibly handy option to post whatever you're writing straight to Twitter or Facebook without having to launch the relevant apps, which is great if you're midway through a witty text or email.
On top of that there's the ability to remove accents and diacritics, which add extra characters to text messages – something we naively didn't realise.
Adaptxt is an innovative and super-smart keyboard, and one of the best we've come across. There's even a private mode so certain words and phrases won't be stored in its dictionary, making it ideal if you share your phone or tablet with someone else.
Download this if… You want an innovative, good-looking keyboard
Avoid this if… You hate new things
Verdict: 5/5
SwiftKey has been our default keyboard for many years, and it's just got better and better. Its unique selling point is its ability to predict what you're about to type based on previous emails, texts, Facebook updates and Tweets, and it works remarkably well. In fact, it's almost spooky in the way it works out what you're about to type next.
The result is that you barely even have to try to type, and you soon realise that most of your communications consist of a few key words or phrases. It's astonishingly quick for exactly this reason, although we can understand some people's reluctance to let the software sift through all your private emails and texts.
There are a few problems, notably one with the Chrome browser which is being worked on at the time of writing. It also only comes with a handful of skins and the layout can't be customised. There's a dedicated tablet version of SwiftKey, but this has to be bought separately on the Android Market.
Somehow, though, Swiftkey is still out favourite keyboard, if only for the fact that it makes entering text on a wee screen so incredibly easy.
Download this if… You want fast, accurate text input
Avoid this if… You don't like the idea of it looking through personal data
Verdict: 4/5
Best Android keyboard: Swipe-based keyboards
Like SlideIT and Swype, TouchPal incorporates a swipe-based interface on top of the standard keyboard. This one includes a nice sparkly trail animation when you swipe, making it look more like you're casting a spell in Hogwarts than typing out words on your phone.
TouchPal's big selling point is its "Curve" predictive text, which means you don't have to swipe out long words in full for it to finish them. In theory this makes entering text faster, but in practise it led to woefully inaccurate sentences: "lets" became "let's" (annoying for grammar fiends) and "alter" became "Adler".
Better implemented is its ability to automatically detect which language you're typing in based on the installed dictionaries: it actually worked well enough for a few bilingual messages.
Another nice feature is that numbers and punctuation marks are entered by swiping up and down on the relevant keys, rather than long-pressing them, making their input faster and slicker. Even if the swiping was a let-down, and the least accurate we've seen, TouchPal's other features more than make up for this failing.
Download this if… You're a bilingual emailer
Avoid this if… You require decent accuracy
Verdict: 3/5
SlideIT takes its influence from Swype, by which we mean it completely copies it. The swipe-based input is basically exactly the same, interpreting your keyboard doodles into words with a fairly decent degree of accuracy.
But SlideIt does have a trick up its sleeve to set itself apart from its progenitor and competitor. Its clever – if gimmicky – feature is the ability to "draw" numbers and characters on a virtual laptop-style touchpad. It just about works, but it would be better if it was able to capture the entire alphabet with this method. This touchpad is also relegated to a tiny corner of the screen – we'd like to see it take up the entire keyboard space.
SlideIT's initial layout feels tacky and overdone, with hard-to-read "3D" keys. Fortunately there are many alternative skins available on the Play Store, but most are quite garish. We'd really like to see Thumb Keyboard's extreme and intricate levels of colour customisation here.
Although we'd recommend Swype over SlideIT, SlideIT's big advantage is that it's available on the Play Store. If you've got a device with Swype pre-installed we'd recommend that you stick with what you've got, but if you just want to give a swipe-interface a go SlideIT's worth trying.
Download this if… You want to swipe
Avoid this if… You like a nice interface
Verdict: 3/5
The original swipe-based keyboard is still the best. It comes pre-installed on some Samsung devices, but if you want to get it on other devices you'll have to jump through a few hoops as it's not available on the Play Store. Visit beta.swype.com on your smartphone, and follow the instructions there to sign up and download it.
Once it's installed you'll find a smooth and accurate swiping experience, which can even work out which words you're trying to input if you miss the letters by miles. It's got a host of extra features, such as handwriting recognition (which actually works) and well-hidden shortcuts. Swype will also "learn" favourite words from your emails, texts and Tweets, which means you won't struggle with unusual friends' names or interesting spelling variations.
Speech recognition is also included, but this is Swype's weakest feature and we couldn't get it to pick up our vocalisations. The caveat is that Swype's in beta, which means it may still have a few bugs, but also makes the speech recognition failing forgivable.
Download this if… You want the best swiping experience in the world
Avoid this if… You're uncertain about installing apps from outside the Play Store
Verdict: 5/5
Best Android keyboard: Other keyboards
GO Keyboard
Boot up GO keyboard and you're presented with an interface that's more akin to a game than something that's used for inputting letters. It includes the "GO Market", where users can download new themes and hundreds of smiley-style emoticons, known as "Emoji". Users can add special characters and sounds to their messages, and even completely revamp their entire phones.
Underneath all these superfluous add-ons lies a solid keyboard, though, and one that's capable of supporting many languages, including Chinese handwriting. It can also switch between languages at the touch of a button, making it essential for people who switch between English and their native tongue.
It followed our keystrokes accurately, but predictive text is switched off by default – perhaps to make room for the sheer amount of tie-in apps and features GO Keyboard so eagerly promotes above the keyboard.
A nice touch is a dedicated selection screen, which uses lovely big arrow keys to make highlighting and copying text a doddle. All GO Keyboard's content seems to be completely free – for now.
Download this if… You're a texting teen
Avoid this if… You just want a keyboard
Verdict: 3/5
Thumb Keyboard
"Ergonomics" was a big buzz word in the mid-90s, and Microsoft exploited the crippling fear of RSI by creating a keyboard that was split down the middle, making it easier to reach keys and type words. Thumb Keyboard is the Android equivalent of Microsoft's keyboard, and it similarly splits the keyboard and spacebar in two, placing the arrow keys in the centre.
The advent of large Android tablets makes this split a useful feature; no longer will you have to awkwardly reach across the device to reach the "G" key. And although the layout looks a little befuddling at first, it's surprising intuitive and fluid, especially if you're used to using your phone in landscape orientation.
It's incredibly customisable, too, boasting separate keyboard layouts for different orientations, as well as the option to switch between the two. There are also settings for specific tablets, such as 5-inch "phablets" and vast 10-inchers.
Full colour customisation, predictive text and the ability to create a custom toolbar round off a substantial and useful offering, and it's nigh-on essential if you're using a tablet device. It costs 99p whereas other keyboards are free, but that's the price you pay for "ergonomics".
Download this if… You're all thumbs
Avoid this if… You've got a tiny phone
Verdict: 4/5
A complete oddball amongst the standard QWERTY keyboards, 8pen has reinvented the wheel by literally inventing a wheel. It works more like an old school rotary telephone than a tappy or swipey keyboard, and you must place your finger in the centre of the dial and move it outwards to select letters and words, then back to the centre to input them. It's completely different to any keyboard we've used before, and rather befuddling to begin with.
Fortunately 8pen includes a simple game – called "8pen Worldcup" – to help you get used to it. There are also a number of tutorials to aid you in retraining your brain to use it, and after a while we just about got the hang of it. The upshot of this is that 8pen reckons you'll be able to type far more quickly, but Swype still stands as the official fastest input method according to the Guinness World Records.
8pen will divide users between those who regard it as a mere novelty and those who actually find it useful, and the only way of finding out which category you're in is to download and use it.
Download this if… You want to try something fresh and unique
Avoid this if… You're happy with QWERTY
Verdict: 3/5
Get Android's latest keyboard on your device today
Android's latest update, known as 4.1 or Jelly Bean, includes a vastly upgraded keyboard. It's one of the best we've ever used, supporting predictive text and other high-end features while remaining nicely uncluttered and simple to use. It's fast and accurate, and it includes -esque word prediction.
It's not available on all devices, but if you're running Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich – it will work with it. You can find out which version of Android you're running by tapping the menu key from the homescreen, then going to "About phone" and tapping "Software information". Your version will be listed under "Android version".
Jelly Bean keyboard is a completely free download, too, but you purchase a donate version if you enjoy it.
1. Play the keyboard
Jelly Bean Keyboard is available for free on Android's Play Store. Search for "Jelly Bean Keyboard" and tap on the entry made by Johntanmi. Tap "Install" and it will download and install on your device. You won't get the usual "Open" option as it installs directly into the keyboard options of your device.
2. Ready for this Jelly
Press the home key on your Android device, then tap the menu key and choose "Settings". Scroll down to "Language & Keyboard" and check the tick box next to "Android keyboard (AOSP)". It will warn you about collecting data, but this isn't an issue as Jelly Bean Keyboard doesn't communicate with the internet.
3. Aisha… I'm vibrating
We need to set Jelly Bean Keyboard as our default keyboard, so tap "Default" and choose "English (UK)". Next, tap on the slider settings to the right of "Android keyboard (AOSP). Here you can set vibrations, sounds and other preferences. Once you've set it up as you want it tap the back key.
4. As easy as ABC
Now compose a new text or email to get the hang of Jelly Bean Keyboard – it'll pop up as soon as you start entering text. Tap some random words into the keyboard and it will automatically predict the word you're typing, with three options displayed above the keyboard.
5. So predictable
Tap one of these options to enter it. If you're typing a word that isn't in the dictionary it will be displayed in the centre box. There may be multiple suggestions so just tap the correct word to enter it into your message and then tap the word once more to save it to your dictionary, so it will be recognised next time.
6. As easy as 123
At the top of the keyboard you'll see numbers to the upper right of the letter keys. Long-hold on these keys to enter the numbers. Press and hold the "." key to see commonly-used punctuation marks and symbols. You can also tap "?123" to see more symbols and numbers. Tap "ABC" to return to the main QWERTY keyboard.
7. The great dictator
A handy feature included in Android is voice recognition, so you can dictate your texts and emails. Tap the microphone icon to the lower left of the keyboard and speak into your phone. When you've finished tap "Done". It's not perfect so it may take a couple of attempts to get it right!
8. Enter The Dragon
You've just got one of the best features on Ice Cream Sandwich on your device – well done! The more frequently you use Jelly Bean Keyboard, the better it gets at remembering words and predicting them, so try not to be lazy about saving words to the dictionary, and you will quickly have a more intuitive and natural keyboard.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A new study shows the homeless program Heading Home is saving taxpayer dollars.
The program, started by the City of Albuquerque, offers housing, job training, and other resources that help the homeless get back on their feet.
A recent study done by UNM's Social Research Institute showed the program has decreased emergency room costs and jail costs, among other things.
The program has already housed more than 600 people and there's still more work to do.
"It's not just about housing people, it's about how we're impacting and providing opportunities for our folks to smile to get up each day and hopefully have a good day," said Jodie Jepson, of Albuquerque Heading Home.
The study shows the program has saved taxpayer's an estimated nearly $5 million.

Theo Paphitis held an event for all the winners of his Twitter Small Business Sunday competition and Ollie was there.
#SBS – What is it?
Small Business Sunday (SBS) was the brainchild of Theo Paphitis one Sunday afternoon three years ago in October 2010. A big fan of the social media networking site, Twitter, he decided to try and raise the profile of small businesses he liked the sound by 'retweeting' their description of their business.
@SourceSupplies was retweeted in September 2011 and we have since enjoyed networking with other small business winners.
The Event
Held at the ICC in Birmingham, SBS Winners gathered to hear what the former Dragon had to say and what he has in store for SBS. The network he has built will continue to evolve as a market place and reference point for businesses within the group and we all benefit from special offers and initiatives designed to help grow and sustain our businesses.
This year there are new sponsors who all see the power and potential of the SBS community and have pledged their support to the winners. DHL Express, Ryman, RAC, Bartercard and iLaw were all revealed as the official sponsors.
Theo and The Winners
Theo was on stage for hours taking questions about business (and life) from the audience and whilst his answers were witty, informative and enthusiastic, people won't be re-writing their business plans off the back of his answers. Theo was faced with an impossible task when presented with very specific business conundrums and whilst he stated a dislike for politicians, his answers were straight from a politician's textbook!
Businesses have been brought together and given lifelines into large opportunities that are associated with Theo's businesses and contacts. It's not an essential club to be a part of, nor is it the ultimate networking group but it is a community with benefits that are genuinely useful for small businesses. Plus it's a great excuse to hit the town with some great people all taking a day off from being self-employed.

From the Wild Nature Institute:
Wild Lens provided professional video content for our website that is helping us to attract and maintain visitors to the site. These videos not only educate but also inspire action for the conservation of wildlife. They are valuable tools we are using to educate about conservation of African wildlife.
-Monica Bond, Principal Scientist and Co-founder at the Wild Nature Institute
From Intermountain Bird Observatory:
It has been a true pleasure to work with these young, professional, and creative filmmakers to chronicle our work. These short films serve as perfect introductions to our work for potential supporters or participants in our outreach programs. These innovative filmmakers have a great eye for capturing and documenting the work of wildlife professionals.
-Greg Kaltenecker, Executive Director at the Intermountain Bird Observatory
From the Marine Mammal Center:
Wild Lens Inc has provided The Marine Mammal Center with a fantastic opportunity to showcase our work in a beautiful, professional way and reach tens of thousands of people regarding the work we do using stunning imagery and heartwarming storytelling. The videos provide a perfect medium for exhibit displays, website content, social media, and so much more!
-Adam Ratner, Guest Experience Manager at The Marine Mammal Center
From the Acorns to Oaks Private School:
The video Scavenger Hunt provides an intriguing examination of the impact that lead ammunition has on one of our most critically endangered species, the California condor. The film's focus is on a man who is both a conservationist and an avid hunter, making it both unusual and powerful. It clearly demonstrates how these two interests need not conflict. My class became very interested in the topic, and were anxious to undertake their own research and learn more about the issues raised, which is why I developed an effective lesson plan around this film.
-Lisa Travis, Teacher at Acorns to Oaks Private School

Despite keeping a steady stream of updates going with the fans and almost non-stop social media presences from a majority of the cast and creative team members involved, it's crazy to think about how much we still don't know when it comes to director Rian Johnson's Star Wars: Episode VIII. One of the biggest and most obvious being, the film's mysterious title, though we've seen more than a fair share of rumored titles running around online already.
Many fans had thought the title would be revealed sometime during Star Wars Celebration Europe this year, but it looks like we may not know what the title is for quite some time still.
While appearing on the My Dad Wrote a Porno Podcast (h/t Star Wars Underworld), Daisy Ridley says she's not even sure what the title of the film is right now, and that fans probably shouldn't expect to know it any time soon:
"I heard a title, but I don't know if it's going to be that. I really don't know much about anything. I heard the title a long time ago before we started filming, and so I feel some things have slightly tweaked during production. It's going to be a while before it's released I imagine."
Well, that's probably not the news we were all hoping or expecting to hear right about now.
We imagine that Ridley probably knows more than she's saying here, but what she says about the studio being in no rush to reveal the title is probably accurate as well, with Rogue One still set to hit theatres this coming December. We bet they're doing their best right now to make sure the next saga film doesn't overshadow their first spin-off.
The Force Awakens title was revealed 13 months before the film was released in November 2014, so it's possible Disney and Lucasfilm are trying to stick to a similar timeline here, and maybe we can keep our eyes open for the announcement sometime in November or December? If the rumors and speculation of the first Episode VIII trailer being attached to Rogue One, that would make sense, at least. If there's one thing Disney and Lucasfilm have proven to us before though, it's that we really don't ever know what they're going to have up their sleeves next.
Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to hit theatres on December 15th, 2017.

Unfortunately, my camera batteries are charging and I can't post pics until TOMORROW...technically, later TODAY (as it's 3:30am in the morning right now!). I had SUCH fun at H! My SA offered to let me try on all kinds of fun stuff (it PAYS to have gone so crazy this month! They REALLY like me right now!). I tried on the Farming (in white). Funky! And I liked it but, it just wasn't going to work for me. I tried on another bag that was rigid but, had a drawstring..duparis?? I can't recall. Lastly, I tried on a Bolide (31?...is that the correct size?). It was a great RED bag but, NOT the one I want. That's gonna' HAVE to wait. But, it was SUCH fun having them unlock the cases to try stuff on. It was a LUX day with stops at Bvlgari (just to look and play) and Tiffany's (to pick up my V-day pendant); Pix tomorrow! PROMISE!

Copyright 2017 LuthierTOOL Company LLC
All prices in USD. Privacy policy, Terms
Tools are one of the basic necessities in building a perfect guitar be it an electric guitar or acoustic guitar and during the whole process the artistic side in you can flourish. Great luthier tools are our focus and passion to continually develop and research new ideas that will increase accuracy and productivity in guitar building. The guitar itself, require specialized tools that each have a specific solution to a particular building problem, each tool having the precision to accomplish these tasks. As the guitar industry grows so will the sophistication of the tools. If you are building an acoustic guitar, electric guitar or bass guitar, tools are the extension of your imagination.
"Chris and I began discussions for the design of the first generation of the Neck Angle Jig a decade ago. I have used it to cut my neck/body joints since. This new version is amazing! Even better than the original. Being able to "dial in" my neck geometry to a thousandth of an inch repeatedly and predictably, is why it is one of the most important tools in my workshop. Thanks Chris!"
Michael Greenfield
I am a high school teacher and I have been making guitars and ukuleles for some time. Most of what I have made is for myself, friends and family. I am always looking for tools to help me make high quality stringed instruments. I found the Luthiertool Co. website and their slot head fixture. I watched their videos and was impressed. It sounded like the perfect solution to the tedious process of measuring and cutting the peghead slots. Communication about their product and shipping from Chris and Glenda was excellent. When the fixture arrived I was very impressed with the design, engineering and quality. Within 15 minutes I was able to set-up and cut accurate slots for a parlor style guitar with a redwood top I was working on ( I call this guitar Myrtle because she is made form highly figured north western myrtle). I consider the slot head fixture an indispensable tool in my shop. I'm very satisfied with the fixture and I recommend it to other Luthiers without any reservation.

Singing Strings Luthier Guitars & Ukuleles
I have used the binding cutter and guitar body cradle for several guitars over the past few months. And I have to say it exceeds my expectations. It's simply fantastic! The design, high end quality, and ease of use make it a joy to use. (as is all the products I have from Luthier tool). No longer do I sweat the binding stage of the builds.
I will be sure to keep an eye out for your new products.
Thanks so much
I couldn't be more satisfied with your slot head fixture. Upon discovering the tool online and watching Robbie O'Brien's review, I pretty much knew this was the tool I wanted to use for my slot head Ukulele's. Purely from a luthier's perspective, this tool answers many demands we place on a tool: solid construction, durability, repeatability, easy to adjust, customizations and precision. There are similar tools out there, but I personally believe Luthier Tool has done an incredible job with the engineering of this tool and to me it is the best overall investment compared to the other comparable tools out there. All in all, if used correctly this tool can makes cutting the slots an enjoyable task.

She always manages to find all these quilt alongs. Since I am going to finish that other one this month.... I get to join in on this one by Moda!
I just downloaded the first block - Whirligig. I'll plan to sew my other sampler into a top (2 seams to go!) then I can start by making the first block!
This also got put together for me last night while I was was at a cookie booth last night! Ignore the messy room. Hopefully that will get loaded sometime in the next 3 days with it's first quilt. My 90x90 trip around the world since that is completely hand pieced so far... might as well hand quilt it too!

The Augusta Chronicle is beginning a new feature in Your Faith called A Joyful Noise to highlight these events. This Saturday feature will give all the details – who, what, when, where, cost, where to go for more information and, whenever possible, a link to sample the performers online.
Churches of all traditions are invited to submit events for inclusion. To be included, please call Your Faith reporter Lisa Kaylor at (706) 828-3884 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

One poet said he was writing a Ford.
He called it a testament to American ethic,
And it was well-received by fine magazines.
Another poet said she was writing a Honda.
She called it cultural awareness,
And it was well-received by fine magazines.
Another poet wrote about a car with its
Brand name shaved off, careening down the highway
At 110mph while being chased by a sea of sirens.
The car's back window was shattered,
Bloody glass rattled over the bouncing trunk lid,
And the leg sticking out of the trunk twisted
With three false knees and dangled an untied shoe.
The fine magazines did not have room for the third piece.
Besides, there was this new poet out there – of a Tesla.
It was said to be the words of the electric youth.

Microsoft to launch 4G LTE Service with new SIM Cards for Windows 10 PCs
It seems that Microsoft is prepping something big, at least for Windows 10 PC users who might have wondered if they could use fast 3G or 4G cellular data on their PC without having to hook it up to any available hotspot.
The app was spotted by the Verge and it shows some writings like "Cellular Data", "Cellular Plan" directly indicating the app is designed for cellular connection within the PC. The app is already available for download and the company should be working on special kind of SIM that you can buy from the market when it is launched and You will also need a PC with 4G modem.
If the rumors are true, there won't be any contract attached to ti, you just pay based on the data you need and you can use your payment details on you Windows Store account to make payments for the data.
Microsoft should be planning things much like Google, and should be planning to launch the service by partnering with existing wireless carriers. According to the FAQ included in the app, the service will first launch in the US, UK and France, no support for roaming though.
According to the company, the speed will be depending on the network you are on, which Microsoft has partnered for this new program, it means you may get 3G or 4G.
However, we still need to know more about the new service and Microsoft hasn't revealed when the service will hit the market , how much it will cost or even where the SIM card will be available. Anyway, will you use the service once it is launched in your area?
