Hacker like any new kind of toys.... The long-term viability of the iPhone is unlikely to be seriously damaged by reports of a serious security vulnerability that allows hackers to take over the device. Most early iPhone adopters have bought into the Apple mythology which convinces them that anything blessed by Steve Jobs is automatically desirable, so we won't see a mass return of the shiny devices with their slick interface. And we've all learned to live with bugs, crashes, malicious software and the many other hassles that come with modern computers. An insecure phone is just another thing to add to the list of things that can go wrong, and Apple will soon release a patch to fix the problem, because the iPhone, gets regular updates to its operating software just like Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Unruly Oxford students have been tracked down by the university authorities, a beauty queen in the USA has been blackmailed over supposedly private photos, and employees have been told that their employers may own any profiles or contacts lists they create using work computers. believe it or not, it is not safe. In the networked world people can find out these things about me, and so anyone who wants to verify my identity should realise that they can no longer rely on them in any way. If they continue to do so then they should be responsible for the consequences, not me.
Some 350,000 homes in Gloucestershire will soon be without water because of flooding at a treatment works. This news reminds me ..when I was young, living in the country.. Tens of thousands of homes are without tap water and supplies in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury will run dry in hours. The Chief Constable of Gloucestershire Police Tim Brain said the supply was unlikely to be restored for a week. Power is being restored to many parts of Gloucester and Cheltenham after a sub-station was switched off earlier. An overnight operation was carried out overnight at the Walham Switching Station, which supplies half a million homes in Gloucestershire and south Wales. A number of public health issues have been identified as a result of the flooding. flooding is not just happened in china, it also happens ...any where ..too bad..
Do you know Elvis, may be only in the history. Elvis AaronPresley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), was an American singer, musician and actor. Elvis past before I was borned. He is a cultural icon, often known simply as Elvis; also "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", or simply "The King". Presley began his career as one of the first performers of rockabilly, an uptempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues with a strong back beat. His novel versions of existing songs, mixing 'black' and 'white' sounds, made him popular - and controversial - as did his uninhibited stage and television performances. He recorded songs in the rock and roll genre, with tracks like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog" later embodying the style. He developed a versatile voice and had success with other genres, including gospel, blues, ballads and pop. To date, he is the only performer to have been inducted into three separate music 'Halls of Fame'. Presley made thirty-three movies, the majority during the 1960s, but he made a critically-acclaimed return to live music in 1968, followed by performances in Las Vegas and across the U.S. Throughout his career, he set records for concert attendance, television ratings and records sales. He is one of the best-selling and most influential artists in the history of popular music. His premature death, at age 42, shocked his fans worldwide. But many people believe ..Elvis is still alive ..believe it or not ..up to you..
In living organisms, DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a tightly-associated pair of molecules. These two long strands entwine like vines, in the shape of a double helix. The nucleotide repeats contain both the segment of the backbone of the molecule, which holds the chain together, and a base, which interacts with the other DNA strand in the helix. In general, a base linked to a sugar is called a nucleoside and a base linked to a sugar and one or more phosphate groups is called a nucleotide. If multiple nucleotides are linked together, as in DNA, this polymer is referred to as a polynucleotide. The backbone of the DNA strand is made from alternating phosphate and sugar residues.[8] The sugar in DNA is 2-deoxyribose, which is a pentose (five carbon) sugar. The sugars are joined together by phosphate groups that form phosphodiester bonds between the third and fifth carbon atoms of adjacent sugar rings. These asymmetric bonds mean a strand of DNA has a direction. In a double helix the direction of the nucleotides in one strand is opposite to their direction in the other strand. This arrangement of DNA strands is called antiparallel. The asymmetric ends of a strand of DNA bases are referred to as the 5 (five prime) and 3 (three prime) ends. One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with 2-deoxyribose being replaced by the alternative pentose sugar ribose in RNA. The DNA double helix is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the bases attached to the two strands. The four bases found in DNA are adenine (abbreviated A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). These four bases are shown below and are attached to the sugar/phosphate to form the complete nucleotide, as shown for adenosine monophosphate.
Do you know why you can remember? Do you know how your brain works? Here are some of the secrets.. Let’s say you have always had a significant fear of bears since you were a child. Even Smokey the Bear and other friendly Hollywood bears could not convince you to regard bears with anything but anxiety and fearful feelings. Maybe it is possible that deep, deep within your DNA memory banks, your great-great-great-great-grandmother or great-great-great-great-grandfather had a very bad experience with a bear two hundred years ago. Maybe they saw someone be killed by a bear. Maybe they had to climb a tree to save themselves from being eaten by a bear. Would a life-changing experience like this, resulting in knowledge very useful for survival, possibly be encoded in the DNA and passed on to future generations and you? If there were a way to go deep down into your mind and consciousness, and into your genetic history, maybe through some kind of altered state like a dream or through some kind of trigger, could you recall and experience that event? Could you relive and re-experience in some way great-great-great-great grandma’s or grandpa’s harrowing and hair-raising close encounter with a hungry bear two hundred years ago? What about some similar “peak experience” or life-changing event of an ancient relative five hundred years ago? What about five thousand years ago? After all, we know that at least some part of that history is inside all of us, right in the DNA in every cell of our body, right now.
Do u know what is a esq. ? read if u want to know ... Esquire (abbreviated Esq.) is a title of honour and dignity ranked below a knight and above a gentleman, allowed, for example, to the sons of nobles and to the gentry who do not possess any other title. It ultimately derived from the medieval term squire. On this basis, a gentleman was traditionally designated Mr ('mister' before his name), whereas an Esquire was designated 'Esq.' (without a nominal prefix) after his name. Still dont understand ..go on reading ... A very late example of this distinction is in the list of subscribers to The History of Elton, by the Rev. Rose Fuller Whistler, published in 1882, which clearly distinguishes between subscribers designated "Mr" and those designated "Esquire" — of higher social position; though old-fashioned, "Esq." remains widely used in "upper-class" circles. wo ..old fashion and modem english ... The suffix "Esq." has no legal meaning in the United States as a whole. It may, in theory, be given to anyone (usually a man). In practice, it is applied primarily to lawyers (of both sexes in the United States only). In some states, using the term in a manner that might lead others to assume you are licensed to practice law in that state can be used as evidence of unauthorized practice of law. Americans don't typically refer to themselves as an "esquire". It is more often used as an honorific when referring to another person. The tradition of referring to a lawyer with the title "esquire" is reminiscent of the British practice in which barristers claimed the status "Esquire" and solicitors used the term "Gentleman". In the United States, though a lawyer may choose to specialize in litigation or other types of law, there are no licensing or bar membership distinctions between the equivalent roles of barrister and solicitor. funny enough ..if u come across esq in a movie .. According to Bill from the movie, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the definition of esquire is "a very important person." Bill often introduces himself in the movie as Bill S. Preston, Esquire.
one of my boy friend is a Corporate lawyer. i always ask him, what is his job... if u also want to know ...go on reading ... Corporate lawyers ensure the legality of commercial transactions. They must have a knowledge of statutory law and regulations passed by government agencies to help their clients achieve their goals within the bounds of the law. To structure a business transaction legally, a corporate lawyer may need to research aspects of contract law, tax law, accounting, securities law, bankruptcy, intellectual property rights, licensing, zoning laws, and other regulations relating to a specific area of business. The lawyer must ensure that a transaction does not conflict with local, state, or federal laws. interesting job..right? In contrast to the adversarial nature of trial law, corporate law is team-oriented. The corporate counsel for both sides of a transaction are not strict competitors; together they seek a common ground for their clients. They are, in the words of one lawyer, “the handmaidens of the deal.” Facilitating the business process requires insight into the clients needs, selective expertise, flexibility and most of all, a service mentality. Corporate law requires an incisive mind and excellent communication skills, both written and oral. Through the negotiation process, lawyers constantly write and revise the legal documents which will bind the parties to certain terms for the transaction. This process is lengthy and typically corporate lawyers work extremely long hours. As a deal moves towards its closing, it becomes an exercise in stamina as much as skillful negotiation. As one person observed, “The most important trait a lawyer can have is a leather-ass. You’ve got to be able to put your butt in a chair and do the work.” The upside to this profession is the compensation is good and you usually work with smart people. One corporate lawyer remarked that she liked this side of the law precisely because the transactions take place among peers: There is no wronged party, no underdog, and usually no inequity in the financial means of the participants. if u are interested, i may tell you more next time. that's all for today....
Single-seater (open-wheel) racing is a popular form of motorsport with cars designed specifically for high-speed racing. The wheels are not covered, and the cars often have aerofoil wings front and rear to produce downforce and enhance adhesion to the track. The best-known variety of single-seater racing, Formula One, involves an annual World Championship for drivers and constructors of around 18 races a year featuring major international car and engine manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz (McLaren), BMW (Sauber), Toyota, Honda, and Renault in an ongoing battle of technology and driver skill and talent. Formula One is, by any measure, the most expensive sport in the world, with some teams spending in excess of $400 million per year. Formula One is widely considered to be the pinnacle of motorsports, with the F1 Drivers' Championship being one of, and the oldest among, only three World Championships awarded each year by the FIA (the others being the World Touring Car Championship and the World Rally Championship). In North America, the cars used in the National Championship (currently Champcars and the Indy Racing League) have traditionally been similar to F1 cars but with more restrictions on technology aimed at helping to control costs. Other single-seater racing series are the A1 Grand Prix (unofficially often referred to as the "world cup of motorsport"), GP2 (formerly known as Formula 3000 and Formula Two), Formula Nippon, Formula Renault 3.5 (also known as the World Series by Renault, succession series of World Series by Nissan), Formula Three, Formula Palmer Audi and Formula Atlantic. There are other categories of single-seater racing, including kart racing, which employs a small, low-cost machine on small tracks. Many of the current top drivers began their careers in karts. Formula Ford represents a popular first open-wheel category for up-and-coming drivers stepping up from karts.
Soft and subtle are the two keywords that teens should keep in mind while doing makeup. The colors that work best for them are the ones that are closest to their natural skin tone or add just a bit of color to their faces such as shades of pink, coral, neutral brown and gray. Here are a few steps that any teenage girl can use to transform into a blooming beauty in a jiffy: Use a concealer pencil that matches you skin tone to cover any skin imperfections, acnes, skin blemishes, scars or dark circles. Use a toothbrush to brush brows into place. Use a soft gray eye pencil to fill in any gaps in the eyebrows. Use soft gray eyeliner to line the lashes and blend it well to the outside edge. Apply one coat of brown mascara but if you have naturally black eyelashes, you may also use black mascara too. If you have a warm skin undertone, use sheer application of peach blush but if you have a cool skin undertone, use soft pink shade. Blend it well using cotton ball. Use natural shade of lip color or just sheer gloss for a soft nude look and you are ready for the party, girl.
An underground steam pipe explosion tore through a New York street near Grand Central Terminal yesterday, swallowing a tow truck and killing one person as hundreds of others ran for cover amid a towering geyser of steam and flying rubble. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the explosion was not terrorism, though the blast caused a brief panic about a possible attack. Eighteen people were taken to local hospitals, officials said. One person was pronounced dead from an apparent heart attack. Two were in critical condition and another two were seriously injured. The others suffered minor injuries. The explosion caused widespread chaos as residents and commuters heard a huge blast -- and feared for the worst. Thousands of commuters evacuated the train terminal, some at a run, after workers yelled for people to leave the building. A titanic geyser of steam and mud shot from the centre of the blast, generating a tremendous roar. The initial burst of steam rose higher than the nearby 77-storey Chrysler Building, one of Manhattan's tallest buildings. The air near the site was filled with debris.
When the title "Esq." is used as a suffix in the United States, it is usually used to designate individuals who are licensed to practice law in at least one United States jurisdiction. This is not as what it is in UK. It is used less commonly for individuals who have earned law degrees—such as a Juris Doctor (J.D.) or Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.)—but who do not currently practice law or who have never been licensed to practice law, and for students who are still pursuing their law degrees (as they are considered members of the legal profession). So, if u are living in UK or Europe, this is mot for you . It may also be used when addressing naval officers in formal correspondence. Though commonly misunderstood to be the right solely of lawyers, the title "esquire" after the name may actually be used by anyone in many states. This is only applied in US. In some states, using the term in a manner that might lead others to assume you are licensed to practice law in that state can be used as evidence of unauthorized practice of law. It has been used historically, and still is seen occasionally, as merely a more formal honorific than "mister".
not as in US, there's some other meanings. In the Commonwealth of Great Britain, Esquire is legally a dignity and rank, though nowadays it is used as a polite form of address towards most men. Tables of precedence invariably ended with the ranks of Esquire and Gentleman, in that order. Until the 19th century, tables of precedences distinguished between "esquire by birth" and "esquire by office" (the same for "gentleman"). Occasionally, formal definition was implemented in determining who was entitled to the rank of "Esquire", as opposed to the rank of "Gentleman". The use of Esquire (as Esq.) had become ubiquitous in the United Kingdom by the late 20th century, for example being applied by banks to all men who did not have a grander title. Although the College of Arms continues to restrict use of the word Esquire in official grants of arms to some of those in the table above, it uses the term Esquire in all its correspondence, even to those who do not fall within any of the definitions in the table. Many people in the United Kingdom no longer understand that there is any distinction between "Mr" and "Esquire" at all and so, for practical purposes and in everyday usage, there is no such distinction.
do you need a attorney? hope not .. but in case you need one, read this before you pick up your phone.. you may need to know - the job of an attorneyOnce admitted to practice by the highest court of a state, an American attorney may file legal pleadings and argue cases in any court of that state (federal courts, usually require a separate admission), provide legal advice to clients, and draft important legal documents such as wills, trusts, deeds, and contracts. In some states, real estate closings may be performed only by attorneys, even though the attorney's role in a closing may involve primarily notarization of documents and disbursement of settlement funds through an escrow account. Practicing law includes interviewing a client to identify the legal question, analyzing the question, researching relevant law, devising legal solutions to problems, and executing such solutions through specific tasks such as drafting a contract or filing a motion with a court. Most academic legal training is directed to identifying legal issues, researching facts and law, and arguing both the facts and law in favor of either side in any case.
