Samsung is planning on unveiling its speculated Galaxy S8 device in April this year. Speculations regarding the same have been high in the recent times.
A new leak regarding the S8 smartphone reveals that the company will be making use of chipsets from two different makers. Some smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835, while others will come with the company's own Exynos 8895 chipset.
"Samsung will use its home-grown Exynos 8895 chipset in the Galaxy S8 next year, and the company has been testing it for the past five months with clock speeds as high as 4GHz. It was also being predicted that the chipset would make use of ARM's new Mali-G71 GPU," reported Sammobile.
Furthermore, the Exynos 8895 is coming in two variants – one which will offer quad-core M2 performance CPU cluster clocked at 200MHz and the other one that is made using 10nm process and its CPU is an octa-core part with four M2 performance cores designed by Samsung along with four battery-friendly ARM Cortex-A53 cores. The former will be clocked at up to 2.5GHz in the M version of the chip and 2.3GHz in the V model. The A53 cores will go to 1.7GHz in both, reported GSMarena.
"The Mali-G71 GPU employed by both iterations of the 8895 will have 20 cores in the high-end M model and 18 in the V variant. In both cases, the GPU will be clocked at 550 MHz. The Exynos 8895 supports LPDDR4 RAM, UFS 2.1 storage, 4K screens, and Cat.16 LTE," the report further added.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A follower of Charles Manson who stabbed pregnant actress Sharon Tate to death nearly 40 years ago but is dying of brain cancer in a California prison was denied compassionate release Tuesday.
The California Board of Parole released its unanimous decision on the release of Susan Atkins hours after a 90-minute hearing, during which it heard impassioned pleas from both sides.
Atkins' doctors and officials at the women's prison in Corona made the request in March because of her deteriorating health. She also has had her left leg amputated and is paralyzed on her right side, her husband, James Whitehouse, told the California Board of Parole Hearings.
Whitehouse, also acting as one of Atkins' attorneys, had argued that his wife was so debilitated that she could not even sit up in bed.

For context listen to this awesome presentation about Funny Money.
Day number 666 should be an interesting one, isn't it, the mark of the beast, and what could be a greater beast than money, in whose name the entire world moves. Money is also called the currency because it is the current of the system, it powers and energizes the world, and whose wrath is all out there to see, the mark of the beast is everywhere.
As mentioned above in the Funny Money, the suffering money inflicts, both with money and without, is something we must pay attention to and find solutions for. Nearly 21,000 children die daily due to hunger or hunger related diseases, and all the money we waste on wars, corruptions etc is more than enough to take care of all the inflicted sufferings in this world.
The power of money, the power of the beast is something we have to take responsibility for and direct to create a better world. No point blaming any persons or groups or countries, this is a collective disease, we have created a gigantic casino, all in the name of profits while life is left to rot and turned into a commodity, you're only good as long as you're profitable. If you're skilled enough to earn something/anything, then you can survive somewhat otherwise you're shit out of luck, this beast will show you no mercy.
Yet we blame those who are unable to earn anything, we assume they must be lazy or bums or as unworthy just because they cannot earn a living. Why would 21,000 children die daily in this world? Is it simply because their parents are lazy, uneducated bums who are so unfit to find a job in this world? There is a tendency blame those are at the rock bottom, not seeing/realizing, their poverty is systematic and structural, I mean how can you find a job when there are none? How can you get an education when finding food, or survival is at risk? These are some of the excuses we hear "those lazy bums, why can't they get an education, get a job", as if education is so freely available to them like oxygen. The system/money is a beast, unmerciful, not here to support all life. So this is something we can and have to change. I mean how many children will have to die daily before you say, it's time to change the nature of this beast into something benevolent.
I for one stand for a world where every human being is supported to live a dignified life, while at the same time allowing the spirit of capitalism to reward the hard-workers, innovators, investors etc, obviously not the current form of predatory capitalism which has no regards for anything whatsoever, so a long road ahead. I invite you investigate the #LivingIncome and the desteni message, because it is us who must decide our future, this world is us, this beast is us, me, you, we created this beast as ourselves so we can certainly change it.
Money is Funny, no wonder marriage is called a matrimoney, and your honey will remind you how funny money is if you don't spend enough. I used to play this game a lot, used money to influence relationships, friendships etc, all to be liked by them, and funny thing is, it never worked. So I suggest better to stand as equals on money matters within your relationships, let a common pot grow for the best of all in the partnership, as in agreement basis, not as in buying your honey with your money. Yes money is a funny thing because it has the power to decide EVERYTHING in your life, and who cares about the only real thing that matters, life.

|New Purple Moleskine Sketchbook
W: 3½" x H: 5½" x T: ½"
The tacky flower I drew on the front is so I can remember which side is the front. I kept opening it upside-down and backwards.
I picked up the book at Phidon Pens, some time ago, but only got started in it in August, when I filled up my last pocket-sized Moleskine.
I always stress about starting new sketchbooks so now I just dig right in with a cover page. It can be silly, fun, colourful, or anything under the sun. Once that page is completed to my satisfaction, I am free to explore through the sketchbook.
Once the fear of messing up the new book is gone then the sky's the limit. Here I did the cover page of my name in black ink with blue, yellow, and red watercolour. The three primary colours with black (a shade).

Phil Noto is a painter and comic book artist who describes his style as "retro paperback cover." His line work is alluring, a quality amplified by his ability to represent complex facial expressions. Noto often defaults to a warm color pallet that gives much of his comics work that "retro paperback" feel. We particularly love some of his "candid" images from off duty gatherings of Marvel heroes.

The Bhutanese believe the winds are their prayers. As reminders, they hang strings of colorful prayers flags from the highest point, to honor the dead and pray for the living. These winds that frequently gust around the Himalayan foothills and through the valleys remind the Bhutanese of the constant presence of the divine. It is here that our journey to understand Mindful Living begins.Our facilitator Khatiza Van Savage, is a tiny fireball of energy and vitality. Her love of Bhutan and her desire to help others learn and grow through mind-opening experiences was the genesis of her company, Insightful Learning Journeys. Khatiza's intent is to help us create a community of Mindful Happiness, starting with ourselves, and Bhutan as our learning laboratory.It started with reflection. Before we left, Khatiza gave us learning tools for our learning journey… a journal, mandala designs and crayons. Additionally, we received an overview of the Gross National Happiness framework to understand and explore how it might be adapted to our own Mindful Happiness framework. I knew then and there that this was not going to be a typical journey. We learned easy ways to start a practice of mindful mediation, to clear our minds so we could accurately see and listen to ourselves and others. We meditated in centuries-old monasteries, and in nature on foggy mountaintops. We colored our Mandalas as a meditative practice, and we wrote in our reflective journals at night. Whatever each of us came to Bhutan to think about, was starting to become clear.We learned about the Bhutanese construct of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and met many Bhutanese citizens along the way to learn what GNH meant to them. In Thimphu, we met many who had left Bhutan for education elsewhere, but who returned to help lead the country they love. We met talented women weavers and jewelry-makers, artists and gallery owners, all entrepreneurs working out their own version of GNH to create a sustainable livelihood.The pinnacle experience of our learning journey was a 3 hour reflective hike up to Tiger's Nest, a monastery perched on the edge of a sheer rock cliff. For the Buddhists, this is one of the three holiest sites in Bhutan. For each of us, it was something different – a challenge to affirm one's strength – the pursuit of deep understanding, or an opportunity to find our voice again.
It was just five days, but like no other five days we had experienced before or since. The lessons and the learnings of Bhutan come back again and again, just like the winds that flutter the prayer flags that we left behind. To continue our learning, long after the journey is a distant memory, and as the first step to creating a community of practice for Mindful Happiness, we committed to supporting literacy in Bhutan.
The next step is to create Volunteering Journeys as a path for students to develop as Mindful Leaders.

There's nothing the Accuser enjoys more than to confuse us with things we believe are particular to us. That the detours on our journey are there because we have done something that no one else has done and are experiencing the consequences of such personal deviance.
There are times when the voice of another resonates in such a way that it must be shared. Shared not because we all go through the same detours in our journey, but shared because we often go through similar detours.
I'm not certain how I received this piece, but when cleaning off my desk, it was there and when I read it again, I felt prompted to share it with you. Perhaps it will speak to you especially during these stressful times we call "The Holidays."
Sometimes I wonder how I can go from being in such a good place with God…feeling peaceful, loving and patient… then something happens that sends me into an orbit of aggravation!
It happened just the other day. Things were going well. I'd had a lovely afternoon working from home, alone. Life was peachy.
Then school go out and my kids came home. Within 15 minutes, one of my boys did something and said something that was not so peachy. Then he did NOT do something I asked him to do, and let's just say…I lost my peace and patience right there in the middle of my kitchen.
I was not happy at all. And I told my precious boy in a not-so-nice kind of way. Then, I felt guilty and like the worst mom on the planet!
For a few minutes, I was pretty sure that was exactly how God wanted me to feel. But before I convinced myself I was the worst mom who had no business serving in ministry, I remembered a pastor sharing about the difference between conviction and condemnation.
He explained that condemnation sweeps across our thoughts with generalized statements such as: You're such a failure. You're so hypocritical. You can never be counted on. That is the accuser. His tone is condemning, questioning and confusing. His accusations lead to guilt and shame.
In contrast, the Holy Spirit's conviction will be specific. He will reveal a sinful action or attitude and instruct us with a solution for what we need to do to right the wrong, such as restoring a broken relationship or returning something that isn't ours. He'll give steps we need to take to change our behaviors or attitudes.
Instead of the lie: "You're such a failure as a [wife, mom, husband, dad, daughter, son or friend]," the Holy Spirit might say, "You were really critical the way you talked to so-and-so. You need to say you're sorry and ask for forgiveness. Then say something to build them up instead of tearing them down."
Instead of the accusing label: "You're so hypocritical!" The Holy Spirit might say, "You judge others for gossiping, but you're doing the same thing when you talk about your neighbor at work. Apologize for what you said today, and share a few things that are positive about her."
…Satan condemns us accordingly, to make us feel guilty. God convicts us lovingly, to lead your hearts to repentance.
Conviction draws us away from destructive behavior that hinders our relationship with God and others. Jesus' goal is to ring us out of a condemning place of sin and usher us into the freedom of forgiveness with the assurance of His love.
The next time we blow it, or lose our peace and patience right there in the middle of the kitchen or the office or 5 o'clock traffic, let's guard our hearts from condemnation and instead, listen only to God's conviction.
Then let's follow His lead toward restoration as we live in the security of today's truth. Jesus didn't come in to the world—or into our lives—to condemn us, but to rescue us with His redeeming grace. (John 3:17)
(From Proverbs 31 Ministries)
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to You ALL

How To Be Lovely, My Dear
I just recently fell in love with Audrey Hepburn. Her style, her poise, and her gracefulness is what makes her my idol. Breakfast at Tiffany's (OFCOURSE!) is what set it off. Then it continued from there. Always and forever will I continue to watch her movies... they are what gets me through the day! I go to school in the morning, and when I get home from all of my extra-curriculurs, I watch an Audrey Hepburn movie. Snuggle up on the comfy couch, a tub of Haagen-Dazs ice cream... and you're ready to go! It lets go of all of my worries. And to think, this one person changed my life! She is truly an angel from heaven. Even though she was taken back, Audrey will always be in our hearts. Thanks for visiting!

The Community Redevelopment Agency expects to pay about $55,000 more to restore two historic homes for government office use.
The restoration of a 1925 bungalow and a 1939 Monterey style house is expected to cost $355,000 instead of the agency's original estimate of $300,000, said Ron Hoggard, an angency planner.
The state has already awarded the agency $242,800 for the project. Agency officials have yet to determine the source for the additional improvements.
Hoggard attributed the increase to rotten wood on the bungalow sills and extensive termite damage to the roof.
An exterior staircase for the Monterey home is also being built to meet fire safety codes, officials said.
The bungalow will be used as Community Redevelopment Agency office space, and the Monterey style house will be leased to the Palm Beach County Historic Preservation Board, officials said. The homes are still expected to be completed by the end of December as originally planned.

She has me laughing, crying and most importantly inspired. What a woman, full of great designs and can write a line or two. Sometimes I think I'm boardering web stalking, if there is such a thing, but I know that I just admire her and she makes me laugh and I love reading about her life and her adorable daughter (I cried buckets when she came into their lives!!!).
Her most recent designs is a rabbit called Maggie ........ she is just gorgeous. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to buy a kit from her before they sold out and I couldn't wait for her to re-stock, so I bought a down-loadable pattern and bought the materials myself.
Here is my first Maggie ......
|Body sewn together
|All ready for her dress and cape
|All finished. I LOVE her!
When I ordered the materials, I bought LOADS, so I've been making more, 4 more, all at the same time. I've been seeing rabbits in my sleep!
Bodies made, arms and legs stuffed, ears sewn, booties cut and yarn ready.
On another note, I really need to sort out my sewing space as it's driving me mad. I sit here on the sofa during the day as I have the daylight coming through the window and the side table is great for keeping everything on. But in the evening it's too dark and I can't see anything.
I then move over to this corner were the light is. The chair is really uncomfortable as the seat support broke and Irwin cut a square of wood to replace it. It's HARD! The chest of draws is where I keep all my supplies (we bought this a couple of weeks ago as we didn't really have a lot of storage in the living room and I have hijacked it!).
The draws are slowly getting filled up with fabric. I just need to move all the other supplies that are in another chest of draws up in my bedroom downstairs so they are all in one place. What I need to do is to get Irwin to put a shelf in the bottom draw, one that slides across I can still get the things underneath. "Irwin ........... ".
Anyway, back to the bunnies
On Saturday afternoon I started cutting all the pattern pieces for my bunnies. One was for my daughter Em, two presents for friends and one special present for a little girl who was coming to see me this week. I'm friends with her mum and last week they had to go through the heartbreaking experience of having their 5 year old dog Honey put to sleep as she had cancer, soooo sad :-( I thought that I would make one for her daughter so that she would have something else to cuddle and hoping that it would cheer her up a little.
I had my first Maggie sat up on my mantelpiece so I could see her and admire her and lover her. I underestimated how long it would take me to make them all and I knew that hers would not be finished in time for her visit on the Tuesday.
I gave her my Maggie, her needs were greater than mine and I will keep one of the new ones. She loved her!
I knew that Alicia would approve.
Love Marge x

In the time and after since the first release untill now, on the website https://www.dailychanges.com/deleted-domains/ which tracks domain changes has got huge statistics showing for godaddys domaincontrol.com which is in control of the name servers they own. On the site godaddy is showing 32,000+ changes/deleted domains from domaincontrol.com compared to the next one down which is only showing 2,000. content/images/gallery/random2/godaddy-boycott1.png In all this is a very small amount for them as they have over 32million domains registered with domaincontrol.com but still shows the outcry and public support social media can get going in such a short time.

Controllable synthesis of a novel magnetic core-shell nanoparticle for dual-modal imaging and pH-responsive drug delivery
11:49 am 19 Dec 2017
Published 15 November 2017
This work was supported by Natural Science Foundation of Hubei province (No.2017CFB530), Wuhan Morning Light Plan of Youth Science and Technology (No.2017050304010282) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No.51302071).

In this study, novel magnetic core–shell nanoparticles Fe3O4@La-BTC/GO have been synthesized by the layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL) method and further modified by attachment of amino-modified PEG chains. The nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized by x-ray diffraction, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The core–shell structure was shown to be controlled by the LBL method. The drug loading of doxorubicin (DOX) within the Fe3O4@La-BTC/GO-PEG nanoparticles with different numbers of deposited layers was investigated. It was found that DOX loading increased with increasing number of metal organic framework coating layers, indicating that the drug loading can be controlled through the controllable LBL method. Cytotoxicity assays indicated that the Fe3O4@La-BTC/GO-PEG nanoparticles were biocompatible. The DOX was released rapidly at pH 3.8 and pH 5.8, but at pH 7.4 the rate and extent of release was greatly attenuated. The nanoparticles therefore demonstrate an excellent pH-triggered drug release. In addition, the particles could be tracked by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence optical imaging (FOI). A clear dose-dependent contrast enhancement in T 2-weighted MR images and fluorescence images indicate the potential of these nanoparticles as dual-mode MRI/FOI contrast agents.

SUNY chancellor could see $200,000- plus pay increase
Chancellor's salary may see $200,000-plus rise
After more than five years as chancellor of the State University of New York, Nancy Zimpher is on the verge of getting a substantial pay raise, according to interviews.
Zimpher's annual base pay of $490,000, lagging behind that of the new City University of New York's chancellor, could rise by a few hundred thousand dollars, according to people familiar with a confidential review of her compensation package.
The SUNY Board of Trustees may be outlining, and potentially voting on, an amended "contract" for Zimpher, 68, as soon as next week, according to Chairman H. Carl McCall.
Zimpher's total pay is unclear. When she left the University of Cincinnati president's post to take the SUNY job in June 2009, she accepted a deal that included the base salary of $490,000 plus a $90,000 per year housing allowance and deferred compensation of $55,400 a year. She also was provided a driver and car for official use and access to a SUNY apartment in New York City.
However, four years ago, after the Times Union reported she planned to give some of her top administrators $30,000 raises plus other stipends, legislators called her to a hearing to explain her proposed added spending. She decided to drop some of the stipends and forgo her own $90,000 housing allowance to pay for the raises.
Since then, the Empire Center for Policy Research, a fiscally conservative watchdog group, reported her total compensation in 2012 as $685,960 and in 2013 as $657,954. The sums likely include the deferred compensation and the return of her housing allowance, a spokesman said.
Her husband, Kenneth R. Howey, joined her when she moved from Ohio. He is employed as a senior fellow at SUNY's Rockefeller Institute of Government with expertise in urban teacher education, school renewal, and P-16 partnerships. His base pay is $171,754, according to the Empire Center.
Her spokesman said SUNY discontinued renting an apartment for Zimpher's official visits to New York City and that she pays for a studio there for her personal and professional use.
In an interview Thursday, McCall said the board of trustees is pleased with Zimpher's performance and wants to retain her. He said the board has been examining her compensation in comparison to those of " a number of peers" in other states and that the salary matter will be on the agenda for next Thursday's board meeting. He said the plans for Zimpher will be publicly disclosed at the Thursday meeting.
Later in the interview, he sounded less certain about the agenda for the gathering.
He referred to an interest in arranging a contract renewal for Zimpher, although it is not clear the agreement she made with the board in 2009 had an expiration date.
It provided less money than James B. Milliken, 57, received when he assumed the post of CUNY chancellor in June at a rate of $670,000 per year plus a car (and a driver as needed) and a residence with rent of $18,000 a month.
He runs a system with 274,000 students. The SUNY system has 465,000 students.
McCall wouldn't say which peers the board is using to judge a fair salary for Zimpher, however a source close to the university said Milliken's compensation has set the bar. Milliken received almost $200,000 more than his predecessor in the CUNY post.
Other states pay their public higher education system chief sums in the mid-$300,000 range to more than $1 million, and some states are beefing up compensation. For instance, the Texas state university system hired a chancellor in August at $1.2 million, which exceeded his predecessor's base pay of $750,000.
In Florida, a new chancellor took over this year at a salary of $355,000, plus a $55,000 housing and vehicle allowance, with the opportunity of a 7 percent incentive bonus each year.

It's half term. That's lovely isn't it? I know things are easier for us now that we only have a sixteen year old to think about so we don't have to organise childcare or anything so I don't want to complain BUT because it's half term
- It is apparently time to bake so I now have no icing sugar or jam. Apparently it took over an hour to clean up and the dogs keep licking the kitchen floor so who knows what went on there? The cakes are lovely though.
- My laptop screensaver has "accidentally" been changed to a baby sloth asleep on a teddy bear.
- We are apparently expected to provide money for gossipy lunches. I do not have time for lunch.
- I am missing several DVDs. It will not take Sherlock Cumberbatch to trace them to FOW 2s bedroom.
Thank you God for my astonishing daughter…

Marital Deadlock in Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Ahdaf Soueif's in the Eye of the Sun
|by Nagwa A. Soliman
|marital deadlock, communication, sexual deprivation, rebellion
|Open Access
|Access PDF Open in New Tab
Ahdaf Soueif is the Egyptian author of the best selling The Map of Love which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction in 1999. She also wrote In the Eye of the Sun (1992) which was praised by Edward Said on publication as a long and ambitious novel; it is in fact a more satisfactory work than The Map of Love. Although it shares the latter book's interest in love and family relationships, it makes intriguing parallels with Gustave Flaubert's masterpiece Madame Bovary. Although Madame Bovary (1856) and In the Eye of the Sun (1992) were written at different times, yet they have a lot in common. This article compares and contrasts the marital deadlock that occurred in the two novels. This paper argues that there are many resemblances between Flaubert's protagonist Emma in Madame Bovary and Soueif's protagonist Asya in the Eye of the Sun which could be considered as the modern version of Emma. This is illustrated through references to certain similarities between Emma and Asya, namely their both being under the influence of novels, the lack of talk between their husbands, their rebellion against their outward peaceful happy life, their sexual deprivation, and their misinterpretation of the word 'love'.
