Student or Learner
This is my "changes" from the orignial essay. My teacher gave it back to us in order to correct and understand the errors. The mark isn't changeable!!!! So however you guys help me, I won't get a better grade.
What comes to your mind when you hear fairness? The racism during the Second World War and how cruelly some people treated the Jewish people? Or why your mother gets a lower salary than your male teacher even though she works as hard as him? Or whether animal research is right? Fairness is nothing but a concept that arises from humans viewing the world as a perfect place, which is not possible.
Human used to expect other to invest as much as themselves do in a relationship or friendship, but the reality often shows the wrong way and as a result human become disappointed. Human think of equality for instance if Sara gives Tom a gift that costs 100 then she will expect him to give her a gift that costs in average 100. Somebody call it fair and somebody would call it equal? Do fairness and equality really share the same meaning? Equal would be when Tom gives Sara back as much as she gave, but it is not fair to Tom because it is not what he wants but what he should. Isnt it better that Tom gives the Sara a gift that costs as much as he thinks she deserves?
Fairness is a widely spoken topic all around the world - society, schoolyard, work, home, you name it. But still there is no clear definition of fairness, that everybody will agree. An example for this is, the recent president-selection in USA, Obama talked a lot about fairness in society but so did Romney as well. Still Obama won against him and the reason might be that Obama has an opinion of fairness that is agreed with the residents of America more than Romneys do. And certainly Obama is a great discourser too, which made him win the president-selection. However the main point of this essay is not about the president-selection but fairness. Due to the fact that a country would be completely catastrophic if everyone does what they think are right and wrong and follow their own understanding of fairness, therefore we have laws. In my meaning laws are general opinions of what is right and wrong, fair and unfair. In Sweden death penalty is abrogated, because the Government deems culprits need a second chance. And of course, if he only broke the law one time he shall get a chance to change, it wont be fairly if he is sentenced to death penalty. But what about those serial killers and serial rapist? Should they get a second chance? For instance, one year ago in Norway a man who called Anders Behring Breivik he killed 69 persons, is this cruel man worth a second chance even though he killed 69 persons life and most of them were teenagers? He did not only one wrong, but also 69 wrongs, so the question is is there still hopes that he will change to a better person? Anders Breivik, the murder of 69 persons, was sentenced to prison for 21 years, with possible that he will be release after 10 years. At the earliest after 10 years, in spite of his actions, he will be back as a normal person, perhaps even go back to work. Does this really sound fair to all his victims and also family of the victims?
Another widely spoken topic that deals with fairness, is whether animal research is right or wrong? When asking scientist why they are using animal in research? Their answers are nothing but helping human, rescue human etc. In brief, they do not do it because of joy but for us, in one way or the other we are the main reason, the criminal ringleaders. Seeing animal research from the perspective of animals, it is totally wrong. Because who has decided that animals lives are less precious than ours? Is it fair to the animals, that we can use them in order to cure different diseases, but when it comes to a dog that accidentally killed a kid, and then it has to be deceased? Sharks, bears, crocodiles are dangerous when it meets an enemy, but human eat all kind of animals in order to become full. What creatures are the most dangerous? Human.
What is fairness when it comes to an individual? Is it certain that a person that fights will succeed and achieve his or her goal? For example, if Jonas, whose dream is to become the best Tennis-player, puts all his energy and also all his money in Tennis, but still it is not guaranteed that he will be the best Tennis-player, because in the world there is millions as him. Only the volition doesnt reach far, he has to have the luck on his side as well. Then again, fairness is only a simple concept that will never come true, but at least there will be a chance if he fights, without fighting there will be no chances at all.

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Taxes. We know they are necessary to fund the government, pay for our national defense and vital infrastructure. However, does anyone actually want to pay more taxes? If you listen to certain folks from the Democrat Party, and members of the media, you would think so.
The reality is that the tax reform which is speeding to the finish line is going to be great for us as a country. Projections show that the tax cuts will result in consistent 3 to 5 percent annual GDP growth on top of the economic expansion that's already happening right now, according to the Council of Economic Advisors.
Both the House and Senate version of the tax bill ensure that Americans earning up to $24,000 pay no taxes - that is double the current $12,000 limit. This is a direct benefit for Americans who are nowhere near the top 1 percent. Small businesses will get a tax cut, as well. No wonder 3/4 of millennials surveyed in a recent poll support the need for tax reform.
The most hand-wringing by opponents of the tax bill is reserved for the corporate tax cut, as if it's a bad thing that small, medium and large businesses which employ Americans throughout the country will get to keep more money so they can grow and hire more people. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, almost 150 million Americans are employed by a business - so it's a pretty good thing when those businesses have more resources.
Here is the bottom line: my sense about the overreaction from those who claim that tax reform would ruin America is that they simply cannot accept that Donald Trump and the Republican Party are on the brink of a major achievement that will benefit Americans and will resonate come election time in 2018 and 2020.

Can You Guess the Celebrity Cleavage?
Today's celebrity cleavage is brought to you by the "nine beers for lunch" crew, which spans across most of the continental United States – with centralized chapters assembling at random dive bars in the East Village, a truck stop in West Virginia, and an underground strip club in Southern Indiana.
Ok, now back to business. This 34-year-old actress was born in Los Angeles, California where she met with humble beginnings – working as a dancer in ballet productions and television specials.
At the age of ten years old she was making appearances in movies as well as guest appearance on television shows like 'Baywatch', 'Star Trek: The Next Generation', 'Mama's Family', 'Eerie Indiana', and 'Blossom'.
Recently, she did some work on the video game 'Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust', as well as co-starred in the movie 'Lonely Street'.
She is currently the official spokesmodel for an online gaming giant.

Themes and Templates
Default Themes
aMember shipped with two themes - Default Theme and Solid Color Theme
Both themes has configuration options and you can customize it a bit - you can upload your logo, choose color, and put some text to header and footer.
You can switch themes at aMember CP -> Configuration -> Setup/Configuration (User Page Theme)
and then adjust some configuration at
Default Theme:
aMember CP -> Configuration -> Setup/Configuration -> Default Theme
Solid Color Theme:
aMember CP -> Configuration -> Setup/Configuration -> Solid Color Theme
Templates Syntax
aMember Pro v4 uses PHP-syntax based templates, like the ones used in [Zend Framework's Zend_View] or templates used in WordPress.
Finding the templates
aMember Pro templates are located in the following folders:
- application/default/views/public/img/
- Images
- application/default/views/public/css/
- CSS files
- application/default/views/public/js/
- JavaScript libraries
- application/default/views/
- user-side templates
- application/default/views/admin
- admin-side templates
- application/default/themes
- user-side themes
- application/default/themes-admin
- admin-side themes
aMember Pro allows you to create your own custom theme. You can copy any template, image or CSS from the application/default/views folder to your theme folder and it will override the default theme. Your custom theme will only override aMember's default theme if your theme is enabled. This is the recommended way to customize the look and feel of aMember Pro, because this way your custom theme will not be overwritten by upgrades and it is easy to determine exactly which files were modified. You need to copy to your theme folder only template files that you want to change. It is not necessary to copy all files from default theme to your theme folder. aMember will check template in your them folder first and if not find it then fallback to default folder. Usually you need to edit only one file - layout.phtml
Create your own theme : quick todo
- Create folder amember/application/default/themes/bob/ (use only lowercase letters and digits for folder name)
- Go to aMember CP -> Setup : enable "bob" theme
- Create file amember/application/default/themes/bob/public/css/theme.css and looking at amember/application/default/views/public/css/reset.css and amember.css, add custom styles to the theme.css.
After each step, check the results by looking at user pages.
Create your own theme : step by step
In this quick tutorial we will describe how to create a new theme named mysite. The theme's name must be lowercase.
- STEP 1. Using your favorite FTP client, go to folder application/default/themes/ and create folder mysite
- STEP 2. Create an html template file layout.phtml in the mysite folder
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title><?php p(isset($meta_title) ? $meta_title : $title) ?></title> <?php $this->printLayoutHead(); ?>   <?php echo $this->placeholder('body-start'); ?>

  <?php echo $this->_scriptImg('large-alert.png'); ?>

 <?php include $this->_script('_content.phtml'); ?>

 <?php echo $this->placeholder('body-finish'); ?>
This html contains the following important elements:
- <?php p($title) ?>
- prints page title to HTML header
- <?php $this->printLayoutHead(); ?>
- prints necessary header codes to HTML header
-
 ...

- must be outside of the page where you embed aMember content
- <?php include $this->_script('_content.phtml'); ?>
- displays aMember inner page content
- <?php echo $this->_scriptImg('large-alert.png'); ?>
- (optionally) prints URL of image large-alert.png that you may upload to application/default/views/mysite/public/img/large-alert.png
- STEP 3. Create a file application/default/themes/mysite/public/css/theme.css and put the following lines inside your code:
body { font-size: 16pt; background-color: lightred; }
- STEP 4. Go to aMember Admin Control Panel -> Setup/Configuration, select "mysite" in "User Theme" dropdown and click "Save".
Congratulations! Your new theme has been created! If you open any user-side pages, you will see it uses a larger font size, and red background color. Now, that you have a good idea of how to create templates, you can start the real customization of your theme and change layout templates and CSS styles as you want. Important note - step 2 and step 3 are both optional. If you do not need layout customization, you do not need to upload the file layout.phtml; likewise, if you do not need CSS customization you do not need to upload the CSS file.
Modify aMember templates if you have "Use wordpress theme" enabled
1. Create folder /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/YOUR_WORDPRESS_THEME_FOLDERNAME
For example if you use default wordpress twentyeleven theme, create /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/twentyeleven folder.
2. Copy layout.phtml file from /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/default to /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/YOUR_WORDPRESS_THEME_FOLDERNAME
3. Copy /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/amember.php to /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/YOUR_WORDPRESS_THEME_FOLDERNAME/amember.php
4. Edit /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/YOUR_WORDPRESS_THEME_FOLDERNAME/layout.phtml and change this line:
include dirname(__FILE__)."/../amember.php";
include dirname(__FILE__)."/amember.php";
5. Make modifications to /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/YOUR_WORDPRESS_THEME_FOLDERNAME/amember.php (which is default layout file for all aMember pages).
6. If you want to alter other amember pages or styles copy template files from /amember/application/default/views/ to /amember/application/default/plugins/protect/wordpress/YOUR_WORDPRESS_THEME_FOLDERNAME/

LMS | News
The university is looking to gain increased reliability, improved tools for online interaction and more collaboration capabilities with the new system, which it has dubbed "Canopy." (U Cincinnati's' mascot is the bearcat, and, as the Blackboard upgrade site explained, bearcats "thrive under the thick tree cover of the forest canopy.")
Among the features that stand out for users:
The College of Nursing stepped up as the first major test pilot in a phased approach that began this spring and will continue through the summer.
The school has been holding town hall meetings and training sessions to introduce the campus community to the features set of the new LMS. Training modules will also be placed within the application to make them available to users as they're needed.
On a frequently asked questions page, the upgrade team suggested that students would be drawn to multiple aspects of the new edition: "The new interface is more user-friendly with a modern look with support across modern browsers," the site stated. "The video capability is also a great feature for students. Students will also be able to create a Profile, just like Facebook. This will allow students to create 'learning spaces,' or study groups through a portal."
Faculty, upgrade team said, could feel the greatest impact on efficiency with inline grading and streamlined grading assignments. Inline grading allows the instructor to view student-submitted files inside the Web browser without the need for an additional plug-in; the same feature includes annotation tools to let the teacher provide feedback directly on the inline view of the document.
By the start of fall semester 2014, the new edition of Blackboard is expected be fully implemented across the university.

IOC disqualifies American judoka for doping violation
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) today announced that it has disqualified American judoka Nicholas Delpopolo from the men's 73kg judo event of the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London.
Immediately after his participation in the event on 30 July, Delpopolo, 23, provided a urine sample that tested positive for the prohibited substance 11-nor-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid.
The IOC Disciplinary Commission, composed for this case of Thomas Bach (Chairman), Denis Oswald and Frank Fredericks, decided:
I. The Athlete, Mr Nicholas Delpopolo, United States of America, Judo:
(i) is disqualified from the men's 73kg judo event of the 2012 London Olympic Games where he placed 7th;
(ii) shall have his diploma in the above-mentioned event withdrawn; and
(iii) shall have his Olympic identity and accreditation card cancelled and withdrawn immediately.
II. The IJF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.
III. The USOC is ordered to return to the IOC, as soon as possible, the diploma awarded to the Athlete in relation to the above-mentioned event.
IV. The IOC administration is requested to reallocate the diplomas to the athletes that finished behind Mr Delpopolo in the above-mentioned event, in which Mr Delpopolo placed 7th at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
V. This decision shall enter into force immediately.
Under the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the 2012 London Olympic Games, testing takes place under the IOC's auspices from 16 July (date of the opening of the Olympic Village) to 12 August 2012. Within that period, the IOC systematically performs tests before and after events. After each event, the IOC systematically carries out tests on the top five finishers plus two at random. The IOC also performs out-of-competition unannounced tests. Over the course of the London Games, the IOC is expected to carry out some 5,000 tests - 3,800 urine and 1,200 blood. For more information, please consult the IOC factsheet on anti-doping.

It wasn't supposed to happen. UConn is on probation. Legendary coach Jim Calhoun stepped down a month before the start of the season. Interim coach Kevin Ollie had never been a head coach, heck had spent only two years as an assistant. Four regulars bolted the program for the NBA or other programs.
Yet, here the Huskies (17-6, 7-4 Big East) stand, game out of first place after upsetting No. 6 Syracuse on Wednesday night.
"They got to leave (the Big East) with a taste of UConn in their mouth going to the ACC," UConn freshman Omar Calhoun told reporters after the game.
Georgetown, Marquette and Syracuse all have three Big East losses. Pitt, Notre Dame, Louisville and UConn all are a game back with four losses. So why not UConn?
"It would mean everything, considering that they tried to take everything from us," Huskies sophomore guard Ryan Boatright said. "It's realistic because anybody can lose in the Big East. We feel like we're supposed to be here."
The Huskies, because of prolonged academic shortcomings in Calhoun's latter years, are banned from postseason play. That means no NCAA Tournament, and heck, no Big East Tournament.
The only thing UConn has to play for is the Big East regular-season title.
"We're just one of the purest teams playing right now," Ollie told ESPN. "We're not playing for the postseason. We're playing for the love of UConn. We're playing for the love of each other. We're playing for the pride of getting better. They can't ban us from that. They can ban us from the postseason, they can ban us from the Big East tournament, but they can't ban us from getting better and loving each other. They really love being around each other, and it shows."
And this is an accomplished team. The Huskies own wins over No. 8 Michigan State, No. 21 Notre Dame and now No. 6 Syracuse. Their losses are to No. 19 New Mexico, N.C. State, No. 18 Marquette, No. 12 Louisville, No. 16 Pitt and a then red-hot St. John's club on the road.
Next up for UConn is a Saturday home game vs. Villanova.

Aboriginal musician and leader Kerrianne Cox says she would like to see National Sorry Day title changed to reflect positive change and healing. is a singer-songwriter from the Pilbara, who these days resides in the NSW Northern Rivers.
- Print page

- Permalink
Maybe it's coming from the oldest part of the oldest continent on Earth, maybe it's being part of the oldest continuous culture on Earth, but Kerrianne believes all people are descended from "original" people, as she calls Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
She has been a cultural ambassador to South Africa and the South Pacific, she's campaigned for women's rights, and she has strong ideas about how to achieve true reconciliation.
National Sorry Day was held on the weekend.
Every May 26 events are held around the country to reflect on the mistreatment of Aboriginal people.
But Kerrianne says she would rather the day reflect something more positive.
"I'd love to see the word sorry be put into direct action.
"If we human beings are really sorry about our really harsh and violent history within this country, I think the very leader and leadership in this country has to demonstrate what full example and roll model true direction and action of healing, getting to know who we are."
"I can live in your world, but can the Prime Minister live in my world?"
The Lismore-based artist says part of healing is creating strong programs that bring white and Indigenous Australians together.
"I'm not angry anymore, I totally forgive myself, I forgive everything that's happened, there's nobody to blame. But it's what we're prepared to do about it, to bring the positive change and the coming together as a true Australian nation - that we are one."
Kerrianne's songs are often used to give voice to issues like reconciliation and the anti-coal seam gas movement.
She joined us live in the studio to sing her signature song, Beagle Bay Dreaming, which is written about her home and country in the remote North West Kimberley.

This Is Cinema's debut EP "Cycles" sounds like it could be the work of a sprawling collective. Yet the album, which incorporates everything from sweeping string sections to squiggly electronic textures alongside the usual array of guitars, drums and synthesizers, is largely the work of just two musicians: Logan Square residents Ben Babbitt and Theo Karon.
Babbitt's upbringing (both of his parents are professional musicians) inspired much of the art-pop duo's lush, ornate sound. "I grew up surrounded by the music my parents were playing, which consisted mainly of orchestral and classical music," he said. "And that sound was very important in the formation of my musical brain."
Reached on a tour stop in New York, Babbitt, 23, discussed the pluses and minuses of touring with only one other band member, the parental connection on "Cycles" and his family's long-lost soap fortune.
Considering the band name and the orchestration you apply on some of these songs, I was wondering if you actually take any inspiration from film scores.
I think when we were younger we both watched a lot of films and enjoyed certain soundtracks. I guess it's sort of inevitable for that to come up because of the name, and the way music functions in film can sometimes be analogous to what we're trying to do.
What films made an impact on you growing up?
Maybe "Fantasia." I also grew up really liking this film version of "The Magic Flute," an opera by Mozart. My parents are professional classical musicians, so I watched that a lot as a kid.
Have you ever recorded alongside your parents?
Actually, everybody in my family but my youngest brother is on the record. My parents play strings on it.
How did your folks resist the urge to throw you and your two younger brothers in a van and drive around like some classical music version of the Partridge Family?
[Laughs] Yeah, that didn't happen because we were too stubborn. But we would watch "The Sound of Music"--that's another film that was a big part of my childhood--and my dad always liked the idea of having our own version of the Von Trapp family singers.
This is a fairly dense record. Is it difficult to recreate that sound with just you and Theo onstage?
We figured out how to tear things down in some ways but also reinvent that density and recreate it electronically. We're using more electronic drum loops and synthesizers. It's just the two of us, but it's certainly not a minimalist version of the record.
Is it a challenge being on the road with only one other guy versus touring with a band? Like, do you ever get sick of one another?
[Laughs] Well, Theo and I are such good friends in general, and we spent many, many, many hours in our recording studio making the record together so we're used to being in a small room for hours at a time. It's actually been nice. We can take a smaller vehicle (the duo is currently touring in a Subaru Outback) and expenses are less than they can be touring with a band. It certainly has its challenges. With a group there can be someone to diffuse the tension. With two people, if there's tension it's up to us to resolve it.
You titled one song "Madchen," which is German for "maid." Can you actually speak German?
Yeah, my family is German and I speak German, so [the song] isn't just randomly in another language.
How often do you get to bust out those foreign language skills?
Not very often. I'd love to speak German more, but in this country it's really not one of the major languages.
I suppose you could always hit up the German beer halls in Lincoln Square if you ever got the urge.
Yeah. It's just so rare. Occasionally I'll encounter German speakers on tour and it's always fun [to speak with them], but I'll often forget it's something I can do until I run into someone who can.
I noticed there's a Benjamin Babbitt on Wikipedia who made his fortune with Babbitt's Best Soap. Is he any relation?
Yes. He is maybe my grandfather's grandfather? It's something like that. There's some relation there for sure.
So are you the heir to some massive soap fortune?

Morning Radio and the Joy of a Quiet Offseason
Driving into work this morning I was flipping between Fox Sports Radio and ESPN Radio on XM. Most of the talk was about baseball and March Madness, but for a few minutes I heard some ranting regarding the new Jets/Giants stadium and their dilemma about who will open the season in the new home. After a coin toss by the commissioner it was decided that the Giants will open the stadium on Sunday September 12th and the Jets will open on the following Monday night to the huge MNF crowd.
First of all, can you imagine your team sharing a stadium with another team, even if they were in the other conference? I still find it ridiculous that they aren't even in the state of New York. I guess some could argue that the Dallas Cowboys don't play in Dallas but Arlington is a hell of a lot closer than say Louisiana or Oklahoma.
Another topic discussed on my morning drive radio programming also featured the Jets and their newly acquired running back LaDainian Tomlinson. The poor guy has gone from being the best in the biz to being a 3rd string back that fans hope they never see on the field. I've always liked LT, and I find it really sad how the world of sports works sometimes.
It seems the Jets really are trying to make some noise this offseason, but none of their moves have impressed me yet. In case you missed it they grabbed former Cowboy Nick Folk to a one year deal back in February. Their veteran kicker Jay Feely isn't worried at all and expects a new deal despite the signing.
As for the Cowboys, everything is really quiet right now. Next month comes the draft and the release of the 2010 schedule.
For now you can relax and enjoy Spring Break, only five or so months until Preseason football… 😉

Last year, in the midst of a video war we were then waging with MLB, we put out the call for willing participants to assist us in our cause. Our offer was simple: Help us send-up MLB's autocratic control of its video highlights by sending us clips of young children reenacting famous baseball plays. In return, we pledged to sponsor a youth baseball or softball team. There would be no losers here.
We initially received a smattering of interest, and eventually a dude named Rick in suburban Boston came through. Last May, we posted video of Rick's children, J and M, helpfully reenacting Robin Ventura's charge to the mound after Nolan Ryan hit him with a pitch, plus Pete Rose's home-plate collision with Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star Game. Eventually, MLB relented and began posting downloadable videos on its site. We declared victory.
But we didn't want to forget the promise we had made to Rick and his kids. In the next couple of weeks, their Deadspin-sponsored T-Ball league will begin its season. The kiddos will be outfitted in helmets affixed with Deadspin stickers, and the outfield fence will bear the logo sign J and M (ages 5 and 3) are posing with above. Throughout the season, Rick will also send us highlights and game reports, which we'll proudly be posting here each week. Because we're more than just a sports penis site. Play ball!

Posted by Lori on Friday, October 19, 2007
Last year I developed a low-tech way to demonstrate commenting and tagging during a follow-up class on Learning 2.0. We found some funny pictures, taped them to a few flip charts, and gave everyone in the class some post it notes to write down their comments and labels for the pictures. On one of the flip charts we left the post it notes up for everyone to see (Web 2.0). On another flip chart we removed the post it notes as soon as they were posted (Web 1.0).
It was fun and useful in a few ways. It was an easy way to get the concept across to the learners. It also gave everyone a chance to get up and move around--which is always good in after lunch training session.
Today I came across this clip on YouTube that explains tagging. This is so well-done using just some scraps of paper that have been cut out! The first thing I thought was, "Why didn't I think of that!" They've actually done a lot of clips like this, so it is worth checking out and seems like it would be a good way to introduce folks to some of the more intimidating 2.0 stuff.

J.D. Power and Associates has found that poor battery life contributes to customer dissatisfaction more than any other single smartphone feature — a discovery that will surprise exactly no one. The consumer satisfaction research firm polled 7,080 first-time smartphone users, and released the findings today in its 2012 US Wireless Smartphone Customer Satisfaction Study.
Among other notable epiphanies: Design is actually the least important aspect of a smartphone to most users, with only 20 percent of consumers rating it a key measure of satisfaction. Further, Apple was ranked highest for overall smartphone satisfaction for the 7th consecutive time, meaning that although style and design certainly play an important role in the iPhone's continued success, these are clearly not the most important contributors to happiness once users own that device. HTC, the popular maker of Android-powered handsets, came in a fairly close second, with a score of 798 to Apple's 839.
4G is draining users
Users found battery life worse for next-generation 4G smartphones than 3G devices, likely due to wireless carrier's relative dearth of 4G airwaves: When smartphone antennas constantly switch between 4G and 3G in search of signal, batteries tend to suffer disproportionately. As 4G service becomes more widespread (Verizon is planning on doubling its LTE coverage by the end of 2012), this issue will be somewhat alleviated.
But phone makers should ignore these results at their own peril: Among the 25 percent of 4G users who are highly satisfied with their device battery life, nearly all report that they "definitely will" repurchase a phone from that manufacturer in the future, according to the study. Among those unsatisfied with battery drain, however, only 13 percent will buy again from that smartphone manufacturer — an extremely large discrepancy that paints a clear picture of how important battery life is to most users, and especially to brand loyalty.
"Both carriers and manufacturers recognize the fact that battery life needs to be improved," said Kirk Parsons, senior director of wireless services at J.D. Power and Associates, in a statement. "However, the study uncovers the need for a greater sense of urgency – short battery life can result in perceived phone problems, higher rates of merchandise returns and customer defections."
Satisfaction ratings
BlackBerry, the beleaguered stalwart of the smartphone industry, now rates 6th among customer satisfaction, below Samsung and Motorola, and well below the industry average. In an ironic twist, a BlackBerry insider had told BGR in 2011 that then-CEO Mike Lazaridis was overheard around RIM's Waterloo HQ stating "people won't buy an iPhone because it doesn't have a battery as good as a BlackBerry." A complete overhaul of BlackBerry's mobile OS, deemed BlackBerry 10, is expected to be released later this year, along with a redesigned stable of touchscreen smartphones.
In the most surprising turn however, Palm, the bankrupted smartphone maker that sold its mobile WebOS system to HP — which in turn swiftly mismanaged that promising OS into oblivion — actually ranked just 5 points behind Nokia in customer satisfaction. That is bound to change, however, as Nokia begins rolling out the first of many Windows Phone based devices, following the announcement that Microsoft has partnered with the Finnish phonemaker.
The takeaway from this study is that battery life is likely much more important to users than device makers give credence to, especially those first-time smartphone buyers transitioning from traditional cell phones and used to relying on a single charge for days. Although new technologies are in development to reverse this disappointing trend — Northwestern University recently discovered a technique that allows battery makers to squeeze more ions into each cell, exponentially increasing the amount of energy stored — a true upgrade to the lithium ion tech found in most devices is still likely years away, if not decades. Although companies such as Apple have gotten ever-more creative with ways to increase time away from the outlet, squeezing custom-made cells into the empty space between components in its iPhone, the downside is that those battery packs are no longer user replaceable. It would appear that we are fast approaching a time when the power of our mobile devices outstrips their hunger for power. Do you find your smartphone battery drains faster than you hoped it would, or do you not mind plugging it in? Let us know in the comments.

The next morning she was gone with nary a word. To say they were both embarrassed would be an understatement. She was Aldor, he was Scryers. These sort of things just didn't happen! She made her way out of the room, with but a glance in the direction of Khesed. Khesed could barely keep his eyes open, due to the headache he was experiencing. Be could barely get the cleansing prayer together in his mind; and when he was better…she was gone.
He didn't even know her name!
To think, just a few years ago he would have been one of the Blood Knights hunting down the Draenei refugees that crash landed on Azeroth.
Khesed just shook his head as he left The World's End Tavern.
On the way to the Scryer's Tower, he ran into Krum. Krum was a giant of an orc; as one would imagine an orc warrior to be. But, he was also Khesed's friend. Alongside of him was another of his comrade in arms, Xexell. She was one of the Blood Elves, as well as one of the Scryer's mages, and regularly enjoyed harassing the young Lieutenant.
"Hey Krum," Xexell said loudly as Khesed approached.
"Yes, Xexell," he replied with a gleam in his eye.
Xexell, very loudly so everyone could hear said, "Don't we have some regulation regarding bestiality and our officers? I thought only humans and gnomes enjoyed a nightly plate of spacegoat!"
Xexell and Krum literally fell into each other's arms laughing as Khesed approached with his face turning a bright red.
"Don't you have something better to be doing right now? We do have orders you know." Khesed sounded terse, but a small smile began to creep into the edges of his frown.
"Come on you two, we need to get our things and head to the flight path. We leave for Blade's Edge in two hours, which means the Commander wants to see us in one."
Krum and Xexell fell in behind Khesed, laughing and making crude comments about having spacegoat tail for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
All Khesed could do was shake his head.
Krum and Xexell may have believed it was a disapproving shake of his head, but in actuality Khesed was trying to clear his thinking. He hated to admit it, but he couldn't get the Draenei clothie out of his head. While much of it was lost in the fog of alcohol; he still remembered quite a bit.
He wasn't that drunk.
Damned, if he hadn't become smitten with the Aldor maiden.
He couldn't seem to get her out of his head. Her smile was brilliant in his mind. Her eyes were all enveloping.
Her body… He began to turn red all over again, remembering every bump and curve. He had ran his fingers lightly over every part of her as they slowly made love. He could still see her, still taste her, still smell her.
What was happening to him?!
Shaking his head, he muttered to himself, "Dumb bastard."

So I Need to Vent10 comments
So I have not been myself lately. I usually don't like venting...but I got to some feelings/emotions/stress to release. Trying to keep up with all the homework and assignments given in school and staying focus. I gotta get back on track. Its not like me to fall off the path of success... Often times I may not talk to everything to people. I tend to frequently keep things to myself...but it depends on the situation and if I need to speak up. Sometimes I don't even bother. So much goes on through my mind, that I don't even really care to share. I try my best not to be a burden to people. I try not to bother people for whatever reason. People seem so busy these days. I don't think they got time; time has them!
I don't know if that's good or bad. I've been spacing out and pretty much been preoccupied. I'm pretty much paying attention to where I'm going rather than where I came from! I'm thankful for those that I've gotten to know and even still know them. Its the simple things that matter. Sometimes people we know become people we knew. Those that I do know and once knew, I still think about them, wondering what they are doing in life. That's what people, friends, associates, etc, are supposed to do right? Or maybe I'm just being too nice. Perhaps to some agree people may feel the same or beg to differ.
Okay, so I'm different than most people I know and associate with on some basis. Being different with commonalities is cool because it won't be any fun if we were all the same. I don't set myself apart from others. Rather I'm just being myself. Yep.. just Kelvin! Okay. So maybe there are some things I need to work on about myself. I'm not too keen when it comes to socializing and meeting and greeting people. But that shouldn't be too big of a factor, right?...I don't really talk with a lot of people. Barely get text or phone call...maybe they forgot about me and find time to talk with others. Or even maybe it is just me over thinking things. I do talk on the phone sometimes...if I have something to say or need to for necessary reasons. I'm always thinking about things and trying to tighten up any loose screws in the head. I try not to go insane in the membrane! I try to keep things simple; and making such things not so complicated like I normally do. Sometimes behind the smile you never know what is going on in a person's life. Its the simple small talk, or a smile, or a text, phone call, or something that can make a difference's in someone day or even bring a smile on their face...

Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!
Wednesday, August 11, 2010
From A Sister
When a parent hears the news or finds out their child has a difficulty, there is always a grieving period of the loss of what they thought they had and hoped for their child. That can come at any time. Birth, childhood, teenage years, or adulthood. A difficult diagnosis, death, learned addictions, handicaps, different sexual preferences, whatever comes as a big surprise and possibly affects many of the hopes and dreams you have for your child as well as their quality of life, prosperity & longevity, and/or future generations takes time grieving and support while learning how to understand your part in helping the ones you love. We feel really grateful for this difficulty because we have learned so many wonderful lessons from our beautiful little girl who has Down syndrome. She radiates love and in reality it didn't take long at all to see it really isn't all that difficult or different, once we understood. The initial fear of the unknown scared us, but it wasn't hard to find hope. We have been seeing a whole new world of possibilities and have connected to amazing and inspiring children, people, families, professionals, and friends that have broaden our understanding and have instilled in life what matters most. It is such a blessing that such a small little child could open the doors to such a beautiful place that challenges us to want to be better. Who reminds me all the time what's most important in this life- people, especially those you love. All children can offer this gift because EVERY child has the potential to stretch and challenge a parent if you accept the invitation whenever they come, the key is to have faith, learn, love, laugh, and work incredibly hard to assist, mentor, and encourage & support the best out of each of them no matter what level that is and to CELEBRATE all the little miracles and wonderful achievements. Seeing our daughter work hard for everyday life without complaining, with consistent effort having great spirits about her task. Well it makes us appreciate and celebrate all the wonderful little things in life we take for granted. She has the potential to achieve pretty much everything we can with a special thanks to the opportunities in America and those who have gone before us and fought for our kids' rights and for all those who love and support and teach her now- like any other child receives. We are very lucky living in the day and age we do. These children are more alike than they are different. They have a special purpose to teach us "normal" people.

Beautifully complete. Thank you, I collect these precious gems.ReplyDelete
I love many parts of the blog Enjoying the Small Things (Kelle Hampton) page Special Needs I read today. Powerful stuff there too.
And two videos:
A recent post on FB of I'm Down with You trailer of a mom stating how great it is, a dad stating how his life was personally saved (like I feel mine is and with it a compulsion to spread this magic effectively, maybe secretly through inclusion and obvious facts) and gratefulness being FOUND which as a generation we have been seeking.
trailer for Deedah www.deedahandme.com
Although I never mourned River's Dx, I understand this because being a parent you just want to help your child any way you can. I am quirky, LOL, and so is my typical child, as well as my child "with a Dx". It is just so important to adopt that "can do attitude" and just keep swimming. I always say "I am enjoying the magic of ordinary day's"... and away we go. :-) I love these pearls that you share.ReplyDelete

Summer time is finally here! I picked up my two younger cousins from their last day of school today and like most kids, when we go home the first thing they asked was, "Can we please play outside?" I've been babysitting these two for years now and know that outdoor activities and adventures are their favorite so to be prepared for this summer I made a trip to the Store for Knowledge website to browse for some toys they could enjoy all summer long. The first two things I decided to pick up for them this summer really hit on their favorite activities of camping and exploring nature: The Campfire Glow Lantern and the Lighted 6X
Magnifying Field Scope! Both of these outdoor toys are products of Backyard Safari Outfitters and like the name suggests they helped take my cousins on a backyard safari adventure. With the lighted magnifying field scope the kids can get an up close look at all kinds of cool specimens they find in the back yard bugs, flowers, and seed heads. With a wide-view eyepiece, sturdy handle grip, and even a build in viewing light, my cousins can "Zoom in on Nature" just like the package says! While both my cousins enjoy real camping trips, the campfire glow lantern lets the make the best of the times when a backyard tent is the best I can do. The bright LED lamp lights up their backyard tent completely while the fact that its water-resistant lets me know it will hold up against some of their wildest adventures. With its study handle they can haul it along anywhere and I can hang it up in their tent where it lights like a chandelier. My favorite feature and the one they can't get enough of either is the lanterns color glow campfire mode. When a real campfire is out of the question, this allows their tent to have the glowing campfire lighting kids love. These two outdoor toys have really helped me get their first few days of summer off to an adventurous start. I can't wait to see what other fun summer toys Store for Knowledge has to offer!

Enforcement options for Judgments in Australia.
"A Lawyer with his briefcase can steal collect more than a thousand men with guns†Mario Puzo, The Godfather. …..
When taking action against a recalcitrant Debtor, the obtaining of a judgement in the Court is sometimes only the start of the recovery process. Debtors, even after judgment has been obtained, will often refuse to pay.
Obtaining judgment does, however, give you the option to enforce judgment against the Debtor and these enforcement rights can prove effective in obtaining payment.
For Company Debtors, you can consider a Statutory Demand and Application for Winding Up of a Company (for debts over $2,000.00)
A Statutory Demand is served on the registered office of the company. If the company does not pay within 21 days of being served, you can apply for the company to be wound up.
When the company is wound up, a Liquidator is appointed. The Liquidator divides all assets amongst the creditors, with secured creditors being paid out first and the balance being divided amongst the unsecured creditors.
The winding up (or "liquidation") of a company is the corporate equivalent of bankruptcy. It effectively puts the company to its end and the Liquidator then takes over the assets of the company to distribute to the creditors.
For individual Debtors, you can consider Bankruptcy Proceedings (for debts over $5,000.00)
Once a bankruptcy notice has been served on the Debtor, they have 21 days to pay the debt. If the Debtor does not pay, you can file a creditor's petition to declare the Debtor bankrupt, Bankruptcy can be a very powerful tool because the stigma and restrictions that bankruptcy places on the Debtor are great. It makes getting further finance very difficult.
Examination of Debtor
If you are unsure as to what income, assets or liabilities the Debtor has, the Court can issue a summons that directs the Debtor to attend the Court and provide details as to their current financial situation.
Once the Debtor has provided the relevant details, an Examination is then scheduled by the Court. During the Examination, you would be awarded scale legal fees for the cost of the Examination.
The advantage of this process is that it identifies the income and assets of the Debtor and helps identify which method of enforcement will be the most effective in getting the debt paid. It may even result in settlement of the debt.
The disadvantage of this process is that it provides you with information rather than money, and it can take months for the examination to take place. Depending on what the hearing brings to light, your options include the following;
Garnishee Order
Garnishee Orders are a means by which money which is owed or becomes owing to the Debtor may be diverted directly to you. This includes wages or salaries, moneys in bank accounts or even debts owed to the Debtor. This is often an effective way of recovering a debt.
Warrant to seize Personal Property
The Sheriff can be directed to attend at premises where the Debtor has assets and seize assets (cars, boats, furniture etc.) sufficient to satisfy the debt. However, the disadvantage of this is that the Sheriff routinely takes some time to act, as the Sheriff's Office has a heavy workload. Furthermore, the Sheriff has numerous legal restrictions on what they can and cannot seize. As such, the Sheriff has a fairly high rate of unsuccessful visits.
Warrant to seize Real Property
If the Debtor owns land, it can often be targeted for forced sale. Costs are considerable and the steps are complicated. However, the prospect of the Debtor's property being sold is often enough to cause the Debtor to pay. Eventually, in the event of sale, the costs incurred by you get reimbursed, but they do have to be paid up front. It is a necessary pre-condition to sale of land that a warrant to seize personal property is first gone through and has been unsuccessful.
Instalment Order (Not available in all jurisdictions)
This is an order for payment of the debt by instalments. Whilst an Instalment Order is in place, no other enforcement proceedings can be initiated. The advantage of this step are that the debt gets paid regularly and in a way that doesn't "crush" the Debtor. The disadvantages are that it can take a long time for the debt to be paid off and often Debtors fail to keep up payments once the "heat dies off a bit" from the instalment regime.
As can be seen from the above, obtaining judgment, even if it does not obtain the desired effect of getting payment first up, provides the judgment creditor with a wide range of tools for collection of the judgment debt. If a Debtor leaves you with no alternative, obtaining and enforcing judgment can be a powerful tool in "getting' what's coming to ya'â€

Can't say Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't deserve it!
Boys Town Studios, the first non-profit porn house, has announced a porn parody based on Putin's vehemently anti-gay regime.
AVN provides a synopsis of the studio's second film:
Putin grows up behind the red curtain and has to spend his whole childhood hiding who he really is. As he slowly climbs the ranks in the Russian military, he meets a Lieutenant in the Red Army named Alexander. They become best friends and once Putin is thrust into power, Alexander becomes his personal bodyguard. One day while both men are riding through Siberia on horseback, Alexander finally makes his move and the rest is history.
"We are really excited to get rolling on this movie," Mike Kulich, owner of Boys Town Studios said. "This one is going to be a love story for the ages. It's like Brokeback Mountain meets Communism."

AdDuplex, the Windows Phone developer promotion network, has announced its expansion to support Windows 8. The service enables developers to advertise their app in other applications who have the advertisement code implemented. It's not primarily a money-making scheme, but more for promotional and app awareness, something which is vital on any mobile platform.
With the announced support for Microsoft's upcoming desktop OS, the network will expand to accommodate developers who will seek to use the service for apps on the Windows Marketplace. Being cross-platform, AdDuplex provides a consistency across both mobile and the desktop, making it easier for developers to drive traffic to their projects.
For the time being, only XAML / C# / VB metro-style apps are supported, but others will be covered in due course. The AdDuplex Windows 8 SDK is currently in beta, but app publishers will receive a higher exchange ratio on the network as well as additional launch bonuses. The first five Windows 8 apps to make use of AdDuplex will receive 250,000 impressions that can be used to advertise both Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps.
Alan Mendelevich, founder and CEO of AdDuplex, had the following to comment on the network,
"Independent publishers don't have to wait for a lucky break getting noticed by platform vendors, while watching large studios passing them by. They can help each other get the visibility they deserve."
Developers can check out the Windows 8 SDK on the AdDuplex website, which is a free download for all registered users. The service will also be including support for Windows Phone 8, once released, which will provide a complete network covering Microsoft platforms.
