Met deze vragen:Is meat the fix?
1 I was disappointed you gave so much space to an article on John
Nicholson's book The Meat Fix (22 February). At best, his experiences
are anecdotal.
2 I am in my fifties and have been vegan for over 40 years. I still play
football and tennis every week, and I am able to beat much younger meateating
opponents. People often assume I am younger than I am. I have
two children who play football, tennis and cricket, are in their top PE
groups and play for their school teams. They are slightly above average
height and of average build, and are both taller than their parents. They
have been vegan since birth.
3 It takes 2,400 gallons of water to produce 1lb of meat, yet it only takes 25
gallons to produce 1lb of wheat. We live in a world of over 7 billion people
where more than a billion people go to sleep every night hungry and
thirsty. Meat is a selfish, inefficient way of producing food.
4 The conclusions reached in The Meat Fix are preposterous. If his claims
were true we'd see vegans and vegetarians crawling along the pavements
on their way back from spending their benefits, because presumably they
haven't the strength to work.
Ron Grainger
Halifax, West Yorkshire
John Nicholson's The Meat Fix (22 February) gives the impression that
vegetarian and vegan diets are bad for your health. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Scientific studies have repeatedly linked the vegan
diet to lower levels of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cholesterol and
certain types of cancer. Besides, the exact details of Nicholson's diet were
conspicuously absent from the article. An unbalanced diet of any kind can
have adverse consequences. His is just one case and does not reflect the
experiences of the majority of vegans who live healthy, active lives.

30 Rock has always been able to pull in big name guest stars. They've been doing it since season one, but the names just keep getting bigger and bigger each year. Last week, we got Oprah. Next week, we'll get Steve Martin. This week we got three big names: Harry Anderson, Markie Post and Charles Robinson. (The Charles Robinson.) They were also able to grab Jennifer Aniston for this episode, but that's to be expected since she has a new movie to promote.
No matter who you have guest starring, the episode has to be funny. "The One With the Cast of Night Court" did have its moments, but the funniest parts were overshadowed by Aniston's appearance and clichéd storytelling. 30 Rock has never shied away from sitcom clichés. In fact, the first several episodes of the series seemed to be making a point of covering the basics of the genre. But since then, the series has moved off into its own unique brand of comedy. So when an episode like this pops up, it's a bit disappointing.
In came Claire, the wild and crazy friend from Liz's past, to wreak a little bit of havoc on her present. Aniston, playing against her good-girl type, had a few fun moments, but overall she was hitting beats and jokes already covered in any number of previous sitcoms. It was a generic role filled by a non-generic actress and therefore it never quite fit. You kept expecting more, but more never came. Really, Claire was just a background thrust to the comedic interactions between Jack and Liz while they tried to work out ways to deal with the situation. A few of Liz's warnings to Jack were fantastic. I especially liked "She's staunchly in favor of Cocoa Puffs." Jack delivered some hilariously panicked lines, while still admitting, "Emotionally unstable women are fantastic in the sack."
Meanwhile, a storyline that started with Kenneth wanting to wear his old page jacket instead of the new one that's been commissioned ended with Kenneth and Tracy putting together a new series finale for the sitcom Night Court. This was more up 30 Rock's style. Too bad the episode couldn't quite knock the concept out of the park. Yeah, it was great to have Judge Stone, Mac and Christine Sullivan back on a decent replica of the courtroom set, but the idea never really found its voice. It was mostly just about, "Hey, look. We've got some of the cast of Night Court here. That's funny. That show hasn't been on for years." To an extent, that worked. To another extent, it was a little depressing to see how old and droopy-eyed Harry Anderson has become.
Both storylines had their potential, and their share of laughs, but I can't help but feel they both could have been so much more. The way Claire's character got bored with Jack after the drama was removed simply added to the cliché of it all. And Jenna's supposed "Werewolf Lawyer" stint on Night Court wasn't nearly as funny as last season's "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah." I mean, couldn't they have come up with something other than another werewolf reference? As underwhelming as this episode was as a whole, there were still some great lines. Personally, I'll always remember "The One With the Cast of Night Court" for Jack's line near the end that brought the two storylines together. After getting arrested on his last night out with Claire, Jack got to compare real night court with the sitcom: "The hookers are not funny. There's a lot more sickly homeless people and terrified college students."

Mike Brown. Eric Garner. Walter Scott. Freddie Gray.
These are the names of black men from around the United States who have disappeared from this world in the past year due to tragic encounters with police. But they are only the most visible examples of men who have gone missing as a result of deeply flawed criminal justice system in the United States.
Hundreds of thousands of other black men are disappeared from everyday life because they are incarcerated in prisons and jails. This has led to a striking gender imbalance in many communities. In Ferguson, Missouri, for example — where Mike Brown was killed — there are only 60 men for every 100 black women. Similar disparities can be seen in Washington, D.C., as well.
Over the past 30 years, incarceration in the United States has increased 500 percent so that it is now the world leader with 2.2 million people in the nation's prisons and jails. About 7 million people are under the control of the criminal justice system. Millions of Americans have served time in prison and still carry the societal stigma resulting from their incarceration.
This historically unprecedented punitiveness has not cut across the population equally. If current trends continue, one in three black males born today will spend time in prison during their lifetimes.
One of the main reasons for these disparities is the war on drugs. This disastrously misguided policy — which was ramped by "tough on crime" policymakers in the 1980s — has put hundreds of thousands of people of color in prison and kept them there for long periods of time. Of those sent to federal prison for drug offenses, nearly three quarters are Black or Latino, even though people of all races use and sell drugs at roughly the same rates.
If current trends continue, one in three black males born today will spend time in prison during their lifetimes.
But the drug war is not solely to blame. Disparities are produced by unequal treatment at every stage of the criminal justice system.
It begins with policing.
Low-income urban neighborhoods that are predominantly Black and Latino are the most heavily policed. When Blacks and Latinos are pulled over in traffic stops, they're more likely to be searched. Though Black people are 67 percent of the population in Ferguson, they make up more than 90 percent of arrests.
Once arrested, blacks are more likely than whites to be convicted. Once convicted, they are likely to face longer sentences. Racial bias — often implicit — influences all the major actors in the criminal justice system, including police, prosecutors, judges, and juries, as it does in all other areas of American life. Each of these disparities adds to the number of African-American men in prison or jail.
This means fewer opportunities for marriage and two-person parenting. It tears away at social bonds. It contributes to more poverty-stricken families, leading to less stable communities.
It should not be surprising to note that states with the highest rates of missing black men are disproportionately in the South. Southern states have long been the site of both miserly social welfare spending and high incarceration rates. Low levels of welfare and health care devoted to the poor have reduced the ability for individuals and families to rise out of poverty, live longer, and build healthy communities.
Bold criminal justice reform — in the areas of both sentencing policy and policing — is necessary to address the tragedy of America's missing black men.
But we must also as a society rethink our under-investment in initiatives aimed at early childhood education, therapeutic interventions for at-risk youth, and treatment for substance abuse and mental illness. Instead of investing in such interventions, we have turned to the criminal justice system, which is an extremely expensive, not to mention unjust way to address these problems.
If we really care about our missing black men we will begin to shift resources away from prisons and jails and invest them in communities. Not only is this the morally righteous thing to do, but it is also the only way to build a safer and healthier nation in which every life matters.

So she suggested she put some highlights in my hair and then dye the highlights with a semi permanent to turquoise
The result was pretty good I think
But it wasn't quite what I wanted so I left it for a few weeks to let my hair heal from the bleach for the streaks and then I ordered a home hair lightening kit from Smart Beauty on amazon. I also ordered a few different semi-permanent dye's including a really nice Arctic Fox Purple Rain and a directions hot pink and lilac :)
As it was my first time in a looonnnnggggg time bleaching my hair I followed the instructions to the tee
- cut a small 3cm bit of hair from under at the back of my hair and tied it with cotton
- made up a tiny amount of the bleach and sealed up the packages with sellotape
- did a patch text with the made up bleach - on the inside of my elbow and covered with a plaster
- painted my tester patch of hair with the bleach and checked in on it every 10 mins to see the setting time
- washed and dried my tester patch of hair and then did a strength test
and finally
- did a practice dye of the hair with some of the pink dye to make sure it would take
After all this I found out that the ideal 'baking' time for my hair wit the bleach was for 35 minutes and that my hair was lovely and strong after it :)
48 hours after the patch test I was good to go
The kit comes with gloves and an applicator brush but you need your own mixing pot - a thoroughly cleaned plastic takeaway pot works fine - you also need some clingfilm to cover your hair with whilst it's baking and an old towel or hairdresser cape to protect your clothing from it.
I started by separating my hair into 4 sections - and then started to apply the bleach kit starting on the back sides (middle of hair and the the ends and finally the roots on each section before moving on to the next) then the front bits. You have to do this fairly quickly as, as soon as that bleach hits your hair it starts to work!
I managed to get most of my hair covered reasonably evenly although it's a bit hard when your hair is longer than chin length and you cant see the back of your own head! The instructions call for a reliable friend but as I didnt have one to hand I just went for it and hoped for the best!
I covered my hair in clingfilm and waited for the bleach to work.
Interestingly I learned something new and a rather valuable lesson - if you have turquoise streaks in your hair and you apply bleach all over then those streaks will turn a kind of neon green and they will sear across your hair!!!
I found this out when it came to wash the bleach off and my hair was bleached a shocking white blonde with neon green hues throughout! Ooops!!!
Luckily my hair didn't seem at all damaged by the process and after a shampoo and a good condition (Aussie Miracle Repair). I was able to dry it off and apply the dye - originally I was going to go for half pink and half purple but I didnt think the pink would take on top of the green so I decided to go for all over purple.
After reading the reviews on the different dyes I bought I decided to use the Arctic Fox as it was a darker colour and had the most longevity.
This dye smelled absolutely amazing - it's an american company and they scented it to smell like grape :D Lovely
I applied it all over - I didnt bother using the tinting brush I literally just put on some gloves applied and rubbed in all over -left it on for about 2 hours and voila!
The pictures dont really do justice to how amazingly bright this purple is (we have crap energy saving light bulbs and unfortunately its dark and gloomy outside all day thanks to the torrential downpour - gotta love the Welsh weather)
I really like the colour it has put on my hair its bright and fab - interestingly there was little to no leakage onto my pillow last night - normally you get a lot of spotting from this.
The only issue I had with this dye is that it's really hard to remove from your skin after - I have blueberry coloured ears and patches on my arms and hands where I couldnt get it off straight away but after 2 showers it's started to fade from my skin (although not my hair yay) The dye does not come with anything other than the dye - you need your own gloves, tint brush and mixer bowl.
Overall the cost of doing this at home was just under £15 - £5 for bleach kit and £10 for dye. I already had a hairdressers cape, tint brush and pot for the dye as well as plastic gloves.
I think over-all the home kit worked out well because I have had plenty of experience of doing my own hair and wasn't nervous (I had a plain brown dye on hand in case it went really wrong!) but the bleach kit was super easy to use and the instructions clear and easy to follow so I think an absolute beginner could use it without too much difficulty.
I am quite pleased to have gone back to bright colours on my hair and also that the bleach doesnt seem to have caused much in the way of damage

Dancing With The Stars 2012 contestant Maria Menounos was the first celebrity to dance on the show and she is also the first one to get hurt. The gorgeous host from Extra TV got positive scores for her first dance routine with professional dance partner Derek Hough on the show premiere but broke two ribs while training for the second show. Will she be able to compete on par with the other celebrities for the rest of the season? Here's the latest news about her attitude and how she's holding up.
Maria Menounos and Derek Hough started of the 2012 season of Dancing With The Stars with a kick. The co-host of EXTRA entertainment news was really nervous but had heard such positive things about the reality show dancer cast from her co-star and former dance competitor Mario Lopez that she manned up and agreed to be on the program.
Wearing a sassy little royal blue outfit, Len told her she could use a little more hip action but said that she coped very well.
Bruno said her timing was good and free hand placement was very good. He told her to open up her sex pot — and a laughing Derek (who steered her through the Cha Cha) said he would be happy to guide her through it.
Almost all the Twitter reactions to their dance on the night the first show aired were overwhelmingly positive.
She seemed a bit stressed to be the first person to dance but the 7 – 7 – 7 score from celebrity judges Carrie Ann, Len, and Bruno certainly seemed to put her at ease a bit.
But training for week two with Derek, she actually broke two ribs! Extra TV confirmed the injury and noted the entertainment news show host is still planning to compete and is in good spirits despite the injury.
Their website shared, "Page Six reported the "Dancing with the Stars" contestant broke two ribs while rehearsing with partner Derek Hough, but Menounos [told] "Extra's" Renee Bargh in her first interview [after] the injury that she is not letting it get her down."
Fox News reports, "Word on the show is Menounos broke a rib during a hardcore rehearsal with Hough, who was teaching her the Cha-cha-cha."
The major media site claimed a source close to the "Extra" host had nothing but flattering things to say about her commitment to remaining a competitor on DWTS 2012, "She has been in excruciating pain for the past few weeks during rehearsals, but she is staying strong and working through it. She refuses to give up."
The charitable celeb is one of our office favorites to win because she regularly volunteers for organizations like Clothes Off Our Back, The Humane Society, and Save The Music Foundation.
For these reason — because she is such a lovely humanitarian and always strives to keep a positive attitude– we're giving her a GOOD SPORTS nod from Green Celebrity Network for being such a good sport and not wanting to give up on DWTS 2012.

KOLKATA: Judicial officials visited some jails in the state on Thursday for a dialogue with agitating undertrial prisoners, about 1,500 of whom are on hunger strike, demanding immediate release for prolonged detention without trial.
Many of them have been in jail longer than the term they can be sentenced for if found guilty of the offences they are charged with. Even law minister Moloy Ghatak had been to Alipore jail to discuss the matter with the agitating undertrials.
The hunger strike is on in Alipore, Presidency, Dum Dum and Midnapore jails. About 30 agitating inmates have fallen sick. Already, about a dozen of them had been admitted to jail hospitals.
"Six of them had been sent to state hospitals as their conditions are critical," said ADG (prisons) Ranveer Kumar. He said that attempts are on to convince prisoners to give up their hunger strike but nothing emerged to resolve the issue. Kumar is holding almost daily talks with under-trials.
On Thursday, a meeting was held by jail minister Shankar Chakraborty with the under-trials. Kumar and home secretary GD Gautama were also present.
Dipankar Mukherjee, an advocate, said, undertrials prisoners have a right to get bail.
"Many of the undertrials have crossed the period of punishment if they were proved guilty of the charges against them. But many of the undertrials are not being produced in court in due time." Mukherjee wanted that the high court should appoint a special officer who should visit the jails regularly and arrange for proper representation of the under trials in courts.
Bail applications of under-trials are processed by the jail department and sent to courts.
The undertrials had also written to the chief minister and state human rights commission about their grievances.

I am an ordained pastor and the host of Foundational Truth, a daily podcast about almost all the things that are important. I talk politics, culture, the church, and Biblical commentary from what I hope is a distinct point of view. I strive to bring all of it from a Biblical, Constitutional, and historical perspective. Soon, there will be more as I am launching an internet radio station full of music, especially from local and unsigned artists.
I am also humbled to serve with Push for Peace Peoria, a ministry of prayer centered on community transformation. It's an extraordinary ministry that the Lord is truly working through along with a few others to change the spiritual climate of the Peoria Metro area.
Finally, I serve as the assistant pastor at Prayerview Community Church in Dunlap, a small community just north of Peoria. It's a wonderful church full of people who love Jesus and our community.

Serious help needed
Over the past couple of days i've had a serious issue regarding boot up and slao an extraa 200mb partition that is non existant. Two days ago I was unable to boot up because it kept sticking just before the windows starting screen. Upon a fresh install i noticed that there were partitions (extra 2) which i had not created. I delete said partitions so I have one remaining. It saiys unallocated vol 0. So I press next for install and all goes well, installs fine blah blah. Ive done this several times now but after about the sixth boot it will stick. Now each and every time i go for fresh install the 200mb partition is back????? WTF. Any way I have checked disk management out and it is also there. I cant do nothing with it though because it wont let me. I've changed drives but to no avail. What is going on. I'm having to do fresh install every day because of this ghost partition which I cant delete. Does any one have any idea whats going on. Ive just installed x32 thinking that would help but...................................HELP!

Windows 7 Build 7048 x64
Hi Win 7 x64 and welcome to the forum!
scaramonga is correct, this is normal.
If you want to avoid the creation of the 200MB partition, you have to pre-format the drive where you want to install the OS to NTFS and make sure that there's no unallocated space.
The reason why Windows 7 creates that partition is for the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This partition holds system files and bootable files essential to boot the Windows 7 properly if you needed to do recovery on the system due to corruption.

Windows 7 x64
I see a possible misunderstanding perhaps on your procedure. Maybe this is what is causing you to have extra partitions.
When you reinstall, are you deleting all the partitions and just adding back the one you want? After you set them up, Win7 will tell you it is making one for itself, and I don't know what it does if you leave the old 200mb partition on the drive prior to the reinstall.

Call it ogo nori, Japanese watercress or sea vegetables. Whatever you do, don`t say seaweed, algae or kelp.
What we have here is an image problem. Americans just aren`t used to eating the stuff that gets caught between their toes when they go to the beach or the vegetation that starts appearing in the pool if they don`t add the chemicals in time.
Ian Koblick knows all that. But he has a dream. He looks beyond pitching ogo nori as the latest addition to the New Florida Cuisine. To Koblick, it could be a solution to world hunger.
``Much of what we have done to provide food to the Third World hasn`t done much good,`` he says of the recent emergency shipments to countries such as Ethiopia. ``The grain is eaten, not planted. The economics of research doesn`t make any sense. It never goes anywhere.
``When we look at food from the sea there is no world shortage. By the year 2015 there will be 7 billion people in the world who will take up more agricultural land and put more demand on the water supply. We already are starting to hear that the water tables are depleted. We need to develop crops that do not require fresh water or land.``
Key Largo -- land of John Pennekamp, Key lime pie and Bogie and Bacall -- is also the land of Koblick`s solution. He is conducting research on cultivation of ogo nori (a dark red cartilaginous sea vegetable found in tropical waters) at the Marine Resources Development Foundation, a tax-exempt research group.
The goal -- economically transforming the high-protein ogo nori into products similar to tofu and other high-protein soy spinoffs -- is still several thousand dollars and several years of lab work away. Thus far, the foundation has supported Koblick`s research, but he is now looking for a grant to continue.

Lindsay Lohan Swam Around in a Video, for Art
Watch it.
It's been a little while since we've seen Lindsay Lohan in a talkie, since her legal troubles have derailed most long-term film commitments, leaving her mostly to vamp in slo-mo on YouTube. Her newest project is no different, though the auspices certainly are: Lohan appears in "Lindsay Lohan," a 90-second short by painter Richard Phillips that will show at the Gagosian Gallery in June. Again, she doesn't get any lines (though she does swim and gaze at the camera, mouth parted just so), but maybe she's better off letting the filmmaker speak for her: "What fascinates me about Lindsay are not her problems but the way she embodies an eminence on the level of a Bardot or an Ullmann," says Phillips.

In the event of the product being unavailable after the delivery has been completed, the Customer shall be informed by email of the total or partial cancellation of the delivery, and shall be reimbursed the proportional amount of the payment made. The partial cancellation of the order due to non-availability shall not give rise to the right to cancel the entire order already placed. Should any Customer wish to return a delivered item as a result of a cancellation, they should follow the steps indicated in the section Return of Goods.
Customers undertake to pay for the order at the time it is placed. The corresponding delivery charges shall be added to the initial prices indicated on the Website for each of the products offered.

I. Product delivery
THE COMPANY undertakes to deliver the product in perfect condition to the Customer's address indicated on the order form, which in all events, should be located within the Geographical Area.

THE COMPANY shall not be liable for any errors with the delivery when the delivery address entered by the Customer on the order form is not correct or when address details have been omitted.
THE COMPANY informs its Customers that some orders may be split into several delivery batches.
II. Delivery timeline
The orders are transported by a courier service. Your order will be delivered within a maximum of 10 working days following receipt of the order confirmation. Nevertheless, THE COMPANY'S usual delivery timeline ranges between 3 and 6 working days, from the order finalisation.
These are average timelines and are therefore an estimate. They could vary due to logistical reasons or due to force majeure. In the event of a delay in the delivery THE COMPANY shall inform its Customers as soon as it is aware of the delay.

In the event of delivery delays attributable to THE COMPANY, the Customer may cancel his order in accordance with the procedure described in Section "II. Returns".

III. Delivery details, Undelivered orders and Lost Packages
If the Customer is absent at the time of delivery, the carrier shall leave a note with instructions on how to arrange another delivery. As part of the courier delivery service THE COMPANY tracks the packages at several points to ensure the delivery is made.
If the order has not been delivered within 7 days working days after the order has dispatched, the Customer should contact THE COMPANY. If the Customer does not make contact within 10 working days after the order has dispatched, it will be returned to our warehouse and the Customer will be liable for the delivery and return delivery charges of the goods as well as for any associated costs.
If the reason for non-delivery of the order is the loss of the package, our carrier shall initiate an investigation. In such a case, the carrier usually takes from one to three weeks to respond.
IV. Order delivery diligence
The Customer must inspect the condition of the package with the carrier delivering the product ordered on behalf of THE COMPANY, indicating any defect detected in the packaging on the delivery note. Should the Customer, on subsequent inspection of the product, detect any problem, such as breakage, rips or tears or any indication that it has been opened or any other defect produced during delivery, the Customer must undertake to inform THE COMPANY by email as soon as possible and within a maximum of 24 hours after the delivery. THE COMPANY shall not respond to reports of this type of incident (with the exception of parts under warranty) made after this period.

All products bought from THE COMPANY may be returned and refunded, provided the Customers inform THE COMPANY of their intention to return the product(s) purchased within a maximum timescale of 14 calendar days as from the delivery date and provided they comply with the other terms and conditions laid down in this section.
THE COMPANY shall accept only those returns that comply with the following conditions:
1. The product must be in the same condition in which it was delivered and it must include its original packaging and labels.
2. It should be returned in the same box in which it was received to ensure its proper protection. If it can not be returned in the same box, the Customer must return it in protective packaging to ensure the product arrives at THE COMPANY'S warehouse in the best possible condition.
3. A copy of the delivery note should be included inside the package, which should indicate the products being returned and the reason for returning them.
In order to facilitate the return process for our Customers, and to ensure it is followed correctly, THE COMPANY has specified that the only return procedure accepted is that which is established by THE COMPANY. If the reason for the return is attributable to THE COMPANY (defective product, not that which was ordered, etc.) the cost of the return shall be reimbursed. Other reasons (the products were delivered correctly but you do not like them), the cost of the return shall be borne by the Customer.
In order to return a product, please follow these steps:
II. CUSTOMER refunds
On returning the products Customers will be entitled to the refund of the cost of the product, minus the cost of the return service.
Only if the product delivered is defective or incorrect shall THE COMPANY also reimburse the Customer the cost of shipping the returned goods.

THE COMPANY shall handle the return order following the same procedure used for payments within 3 days after receiving confirmation of the arrival of the returned goods at our warehouse.

text: 20 May 2010The economic downturn has not stopped people in the UK from wanting to look their best, with a new study revealing that the popularity of non surgical solutions for cosmetic surgery has risen dramatically over the last five years. The study of 1,000 men and women in the UK was carried out by market research company Key Note, and found a 219 per cent rise in the number of people choosing non-invasive treatments such as dermal fillers, chemical peels and laser treatments from 2005 to 2009.This is even greater than the increase in the UK cosmetic surgery industry as a whole, which grew by 175 per cent over the same period and is expected to reach �1.1 billion by 2014, compared to �536 million at the end of 2008. According to The Independent, the success of Botox has been a major factor in this soaring growth, as ever more people from all areas of life seek out the wrinkle-relaxing treatment to restore a more youthful complexion. It was also previously reported that the struggling economy has provided an incentive for workers to boost their eligibility for employment with cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgeon Dr Viel explained the advantages of Botox for people of all ages, stating: "It helps to slow down the ageing process. It's better to have it done young so the patient will reach their 40s and 50s with not too many deep lines." Frequent Botox user Francesca, 37, told The Independent: "Why not? Life is so short. Whatever makes you happy, you should do it. Plus, I do really believe that more doors are open for you if you look good."


text: I like small bottles. When you feel like a light meal and a little sip of a good wine, but you don't think it is worth cracking open a bottle…there is a solution. Quarter liter bottles, smaller than the usual three-quarters (750ml) are just right. I particularly like the little bottles of champagne…so civilized.

After hit Telus two months ago, the affordable smartphone from Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy Discover or Samsung SGH-S730M smartphone will be release in Bell Canada and expected will be ready for order for Bell's potential buyer in January 15, 2013. Like the Telus model, Bell Samsung Galaxy Discover also comes with a 3.5-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen AMOLED display with multi touch sensitive controls and support a native resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. If you are Bell's loyal costumer and have plan to buy a smartphone, you can check detail specs and our short review below.
Comes with a 800MHZ Cortex-A5 single processor with a 512 MB RAM and integrated with a 4GB of internal storage, the Discover smartphone is an entry level smartphone that designed for entry to middle level users, so don't imagine to play HD video or play latest modern games on this handset. Running on Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the operating system (upgradeable to Android ICS), the device also has a microSD card slot for expanded memory space with extra 32GB for more video and music files.
On the back cover, you will find a 3MP rear camera with support auto focus, Shot Modes, Geo-tagging, LED flash and support a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels for capture photos and video recording. Like Sony Xperia E budget smartphone, this handset lacks front facing camera and 4G LE connectivity. Weighing at 122 g with measures 127.9 x 67.4 x 12.7 mm, the Samsung model is little heavier and thicker than Xperia model which measures 113.5 x 61.8 x 11mm and has weighs only at 115.7 grams.
Like other Android smartphone on it's class, Bell Galaxy Discover also comes with a MP3 Ringtones, Voice Memo, Voice Mail, speakerphone, accelerometer, proximity, GPS with A-GPS support, an audio jack, Document viewer, Photo viewer/editor and download more entertainment and productivity apps in Android Play Market, as well as microUSB v2.0 port, Bluetooth with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g with Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities and a Lithium Ion 1300 mAh battery that provides up to 7 h 20 min of talk time or up to 440 hours of standby time.
Unfortunately, Bell Samsung Galaxy Discover is has a higher price than Telus model. You can buy the Bell for price of $200, instead of $69.99 outright for Telus Galaxy Discover (via BestBuy). So, what do you think? If you need a smartphone with more power and better multimedia and entertainment experience but didn't want to spend much money, you can consider to purchase BLU Vivo 4.65 HD smartphone for price only of $299.99.

9. The Church is Fearless (Acts 13 – 14)Related Media
The Glorious Church (part nine)
We, the Church, recognize that God alone is worthy of our fear and reverence. We confess that worldly fear often paralyzes us, hindering our obedience to our Master. We admit that we allow our temporary circumstances to rob us of a courageous eternal perspective. We remember the Bible's constant command to "fear not," Jesus' warning against worry, and Paul's advice against anxiety. We want to fear God and not man. We believe that perfect love casts out fear. We welcome the boldness that results from the Spirit's filling. We long to fearlessly follow Jesus and be used by Him.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie today dropped his appeal to challenge gay marriage the same day same-sex couples were married throughout the state.
According to NJ.com, the decision means the ruling allowing gay couples to marry will continue to be law in New Jersey.
Gay marriage is now legalized in 14 states in the country, and New Jersey became the first to pass it after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to strike down DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act.
Colin Reed, a Christie spokesman, told the Star-Leger, "Although the governor strongly disagrees with the court substituting its judgment for the constitutional process of the elected branches or a vote of the people, the court has now spoken clearly as to their view of the New Jersey constitution and, therefore, same-sex marriage is the law. The governor will do his constitutional duty and ensure his administration enforces the law as dictated by the New Jersey Supreme Court."
Same-sex couples started getting married at 12:01 this morning.

Musical groups, like other collectives, can form under friendships or missions. The best often have both.
Musical groups, like other collectives, can form under friendships or missions. The best often have both.
The Cavell Trio formed in 2007, when three University of Alabama woodwind professors came together to perform at the International Experience Villa-Lobos Festival, dedicated to the works of composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. The piece they chose to perform is one of the most challenging for their grouping of oboe, clarinet and bassoon, said clarinetist Osiris "Ozzy" Molina; it later wound up on the Cavell Trio's debut recording, "The Art of Collective Invention."
Also like other friendly teams, the three of them — Molina, Jenny Mann on bassoon and Shelly Meggison on oboe — can overlap and finish each other's thoughts and sentences in conversation.
"It requires advanced skills," he said.
"Let's start with the hardest thing there is," Mann said.
"If we play that, we can play others," Molina said.
"And so we realized how well we worked together," Meggison said. "We have to rely very heavily on nonverbal communication," messages in eye contact, or something as subtle as a change of breath.
"We're lucky that we're friends and we play well together," Meggison said. "Honestly, it feels like magic."
While the trio did begin with a goal, it's not wrong to call the trio a family, Mann said. The three of them individually would be and are recognized as top musicians — they're all principal players with the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra — but working together improves them all.
"You can want the piece to be great, but also, you don't want to disappoint your friends," Molina said.
The name for the group came from Mount Edith Cavell, which is where Meggison grew up, in Jasper, Alberta, Canada.
"It is very difficult to name a chamber music group with a name that hasn't been used, and we wanted something meaningful, not predictable," Mann said. "We liked the sound of the name, and the significance of Edith Cavell (a British nurse who helped 200 Allied troops escape from German-occupied Belgium in World War I). It had a nice ring to it, so it stuck."
The name also faintly recalls that of another renowned UA trio that sprang out of the 1980s, the Cadek Trio, featuring Bruce Murray on piano, J. Patrick Rafferty on violin and Carlton McCreery on cello. That group helped raise the reputation and renown of UA's School of Music, and as such is a kind of model for the Cavell Trio.
"It's something to aspire to," Molina said.
"Certainly we are the most visible and active group (out of UA) right now," Meggison said.
Since the 2007 conference beginning, the Cavell Trio has kept a full schedule of other international conferences and festivals, as well as continuing to perform as often as possible locally, not just at the UA School of Music's Moody Music Building, but in schools around the area; education is part of its mission.
"The Art of Collective Invention" came out on the Blue Griffin label last year, featuring works both familiar and less so, by Villa-Lobos, H�tu, Feld, Fran�aix, Szałowski and Ibert. It's available on iTunes, Amazon.com and bluegriffinrecords.com.
On Thursday, the three of them will be at the Bama Theatre to receive the musician prize at the Druid Arts Awards. None has any idea who nominated the group.
"So much of our career is spent in academia, so to be recognized by your community speaks to us more as people," Meggison said.
"I thought you had to be older to win," Molina said, laughing.
More seriously, he was pleased, in looking at other recipients and past winners, to be included among artists he holds in high esteem. "It's the Tuscaloosa Grammys," he said.
In the near future, work will begin on the Cavell Trio's second recording, titled "Dialogue." "The Art of Collective Invention" was cut in a pair of sessions in Michigan, where Molina knew an engineer. This time around, the trio hopes to record closer to home. Because of the musical complexity involved, as well as packaging and other issues, the new disc will probably be finished and released about April 2014.

Have you considered these alternative commercial investment classes?
By Michael Ajaka, Director, Ray White Commercial NSW, Western Sydney
In Sydney and all over Australia commercial investors are spoilt for choice. There are properties available to suit any nearly any budget and investment style, outside of your conventional office, retail and industrial premises.
However, sometimes to find something that fits your needs perfectly you need to choose a slightly unconventional asset class. Child care centres and service stations are two such asset classes, both of which have considerable potential if you choose well.
Ray White research shows that in 2016 $120million worth of childcare properties were sold in NSW alone.
Child care centres
Ray White research shows that in 2016, $120million worth of childcare properties were sold in NSW alone. The majority of these sales were to lower level investors, however, there are assets available at the higher end as well.
Despite massive demand, these assets are still available on the market, with some selling for as little as $1.6million. They're usually safe and smart investments because tenants will often be large or even national brands and your lease could be as long as 30 years, reducing your risk of vacancy and income interruption.
Your tenant will also usually be responsible for all child safety compliance additions that the property needs and many other outgoing costs. That means if you find a reliable tenant and a well-suited property you could find yourself an easy set-and-forget investment.
Your lease could be as long as 30 years, reducing your risk of vacancy and income interruption.
Service stations
Similar to child care centres, service stations had a near-record breaking year – over $427million in stock changed hands in NSW last year. This indicates that service stations could be easier to come across then child care centres.
They're ideal investment assets because, just like child care centres, they're usually tenanted by large national companies that prefer longer leases of 10, 15, 20 or even 30 years. Because of the size of the tenant's enterprise rent collection should never be a problem, and your investment income will remain solid.
What's more – such assets often have 2-3 per cent annual rental increases written into the lease so your rental income and perhaps even the value of your asset should only go up. Again, your tenant may be responsible for all maintenance costs and most other outgoings (such as land tax).
Minimising risk
Service stations and child care centres are generally seen as low-risk investments.
Service stations and child care centres are generally seen as low-risk investments. For that reason, banks are often more inclined to lend to purchasers with the intention of buying them, as opposed to development and other more risky investments.
However, no investment is without risk. It's what you do to minimise that risk that will really make the difference. Just like with any commercial property you should select assets in easily accessible locations, consider the competing businesses nearby and always select a well known company as a tenant if possible.
If your property ticks all of those boxes you may find yourself on the fast track to investment success. In that case, a service station in NSW could yield north of 6 per cent, whereas child care centres could return on average from 5.5 – 7 per cent net of outgoings – solid returns that make these assets great long-term, low maintenance investments. Yields differ across Australia but the fundamental essentials of these investment classes remain the same.
When you're ready to invest, get help from an experienced professional when selecting a property, and you'll minimise the risk involved even further and increase your chances of success.

The idea of a Socially Generative Visualization originated out of a section of the design handbook INFOGRAPHICS. An SGV, as described by authors Jason Lankow, Josh Ritchie and Ross Crooks, is a new direction for data visualization -- one which marketers and content consumers alike should take note of -- especially as the landscape of content distribution continues to evolve and be affected by socially relevant data.
What's the next step when you're looking to give your viewers a deeper interaction with your content? Apparently, we should be looking at "socially generative visualizations," a novel approach that combines the best aspects of traditional static Infographics and classic interactive interfaces with a new purpose: "to allow the viewer to interact with the content in a more meaningful way by contributing to and actually being a part of the measured data that is displayed."
The first implementation of this concept, created by Column Five, is on display here on Visual News with a graphic titled SGV: Money. The interactive polls viewers for their opinion and data, and subsequently creates different visuals for every new visitor to the site with the continually generating data. The implications of Infographics that change with user input while maintaining a visual aesthetic should leave a lot to the imaginations of developers and marketers in the coming months and years to come. The dynamic nature of the Infographic allows future content to have perpetual relevance, as it is always updated within the original context.
In the case of SGV: Money, we get to see what males and females think about each other's spending and saving habits, all of which is affected by not only the poll answers you submit, but the type of answers other live viewers are submitting.
According to the graphic, 55.2% of people thought that men were better with money than women. Yet, with a graphic that's powered by social data and filters powered by the users, that sentiment skewing towards men could change by the time I refresh the page.
Click through for a full look and tip the scales yourself -- that is the point, after all.
