Samsung Omnia M stops off at the FCC, Europeans pine for the Focus 2

Image

Samsung's Euro-centric Omnia M has finished its mandated saunter through the FCC. The Windows Phone for the old country will sport a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 1GHz processor -- while the test documents reveal that it'll only carry a GSM and 3G radio, leaving the lucky few with LTE out in the cold. Now that it's passed the regulatory hurdle of being allowed into the US, we can hope that the company will soon start talking about when we can get our hands on one.

Home Renovations Add More Than Just Beauty To Your Home ...

By Hollis Figueroa

A lot of people assume that home improvement is just too overwhelming to bother tackling. As long as you can be open-minded, it does not have to be this way. In the following paragraphs, you will be introduced to a number of tips that can make home improvement manageable for you.

How often have you assessed your house and thought to yourself how many bathrooms there are and whether it would work or not? How many bathrooms there are in a house can have a dramatic effect on its value. Adding in bathrooms can seriously improve the price of your home.

Dormer windows can make use of extra attic space that would otherwise go unused. Not only will this add to the look of your house from the outside, but it may also increase the square footage of your home. Your property value will increase, and you?ll have more space to enjoy!

A new front door could increase significantly the value of your home, sometimes up to 10 percent. One simple way to update your front entryway is to purchase and install new hardware for your door.

before doing any room changes you should select your paint. Always paint the walls and ceiling prior to having new flooring installed. Even when using tarps and many drop cloths for prevention, you will mostly likely end up with paint on your new flooring.

Always turn off the main water supply before working near pipes in your home. Whenever you will be working with pipes or the water supply, find the shutoff valve before you begin. Doing this will ensure that you don?t accidentally flood your house.

Increase your available home improvement tools while saving money at the same time, by pooling you resources with neighbours and friends. Borrow tools from neighbours who also do home improvement to save money by avoiding buying single-use specialized equipment. You can also combine your home improvement know-how with your neighbour?s, so that you both benefit.

The best type of exterior lights to add to your home are motion activated lights. Having these motion activated lights will scare off any unwanted predators from your home and allow you a sense of security. The motion detector also results in your electric bills being lower.

Boring, simple lampshades have no personality. Get cheap stencils at the crafts store, an ink pad or acrylic paint, and try dabbing the designs around the shade. This will add a little personality to any room, and give your lighting source an interesting effect.

If you want to do a project on your home you should start getting things together now. It is important to start brainstorming early, that way you have more ideas ready when it?s time to begin working. When you remove the rush to make decisions in the midst of a project, you?ll feel more relaxed during the process.

A great way to set alcoves or niches apart from surrounding walls is to add wallpaper, or even better, to paint those alcoves and niches with an eye-popping accent colour. If it?s an especially small niche, you can just use a sample container of paint, so there?s no need to buy a whole gallon.

Stucco happens to be a good alternative when replacing the siding on the outside of your home. Stucco is cheaper, easier to install and is a more appealing alternative to aluminium siding. Another benefit is that it will last longer than other options.

The bottom line is that you truly do possess the ability to complete home improvement projects while still maintaining your sanity. As you make these improvements, you need to keep an open mind. The article above was written with valuable tips that you can use to improve your home. By following these tips, your home will be updated in no time!

A long interest for roof shingles technology has ensured that I?ll stay on top with new innovations and improvements.

BOJ on hold, keeps powder dry as Europe clouds darken

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady on Wednesday but warned of lingering risks to the country's recovery prospects, a sign it was saving ammunition in case Europe's deepening debt crisis warrants further supportive action to shield the economy.

The central bank said it would conduct policy appropriately to beat deflation, but did not repeat the vow of powerful easing it has used in post-meeting statements since August 2010.

Some market players interpreted this as a sign the BOJ may scale back its ultra-loose policy, a view its governor quickly dismissed.

"There is absolutely no change to our stance of pursuing powerful monetary easing," Governor Masaaki Shirakawa told a news conference.

He also warned that a prolonged slowdown in Chinese growth and Europe's simmering debt crisis could hurt Japan's economy, a sign the BOJ stands ready to act again soon should markets become destabilized and trigger a renewed spike in the yen, which along with the U.S. dollar is seen as a safe-haven of sorts during global financial turmoil.

"The BOJ stood pat as expected but is likely to ease next in July, based on recent patterns," said Yasuhide Yajima, chief economist at NLI Research Institute in Tokyo.

"Japan is likely finding it more difficult than before to intervene in the currency market given international pressure, so if the yen spikes to around 77 to the dollar, the BOJ may act first through monetary policy to weaken the yen."

As widely expected, it kept the size of its asset buying program unchanged at 40 trillion yen ($504 billion) and maintained its policy rate at a range of zero to 0.1 percent.

The dollar slipped 0.7 percent against the yen to 79.39 yen after the BOJ decision, with the firmer yen hitting shares of Japanese exporters and helping to push the benchmark Nikkei index <.n225> to a four-month closing low. <.t/>

OUTLOOK MURKY

Fears of a Greek exit from the euro zone and funding strains in Spain have kept Japanese central bankers on edge as they fret about the damage that relentless yen gains and slumping Tokyo share prices could inflict on the export-reliant economy.

In a sign that support from global growth remains wobbly, the country's exports rose just 7.9 percent in April from a year earlier, slower than a median forecast of 12.7 percent due to falling shipments to China.

While the BOJ is ready to loosen policy again on any signs that Japan's recovery is under threat, it has good reason to keep policy on hold now and save its limited options for later.

Japan's economy rebounded in the first quarter from last year's stagnation and is seen headed for a recovery due to spending for rebuilding from last year's earthquake, making it difficult to justify easing now.

The BOJ is also struggling to force-feed funds to markets already awash with cash, failing to meet its target for government bond buying twice last week.

Still, Finance Minister Jun Azumi kept up the pressure on the BOJ, saying after the rate review that he expected the bank to continue acting appropriately to support the economy.

Any future easing will likely take the form of a further increase in the asset buying program. In doing so, the BOJ may have to target bonds with longer durations to draw enough bids for its bond buying auctions.

That is something the central bank wants to put off for as long as possible as it would bind its policy for longer than it prefers and make an exit from ultra-easy policy more difficult.

Shirakawa ruled out the chance of targeting longer-dated bonds such as those with up to five years until maturity, saying that the BOJ can meet its asset buying target without doing so.

He also dismissed the idea being floated in markets of cutting the BOJ's policy rate or the 0.1 percent interest it pays to excess reserves parked with the central bank.

Even if the BOJ refrains from easing at its next review in June, many analysts expect it to ponder easing in July when it issues revised quarterly economic and price forecasts that may show Japan is still distant from achieving 1 percent inflation.

In a sign of the dilemma the BOJ faces as it struggles to beat deflation, Shirakawa said the best way to support the economy via easing was to nudge down already low borrowing costs instead of boosting the size of its balance sheet.

"When interest rates are zero ... the vast amount of money central banks pump into the market get parked as (financial institutions') deposits at the central banks," Shirakawa said.

"It's like pulling on a string."

The BOJ eased policy via an increase in asset purchases in February and April in a largely symbolic move aimed at showing impatient politicians and markets its determination to achieve its 1 percent inflation target set in February.

Top schools for your child&#39;s education

School is the place where a kid starts his / her initial education and learning. Good education can be provided only by a good school and for finding a good school; you have to search a lot. There are numerous schools in Hyderabad and it becomes difficult for the parents to select one school for admitting their children. The presence of so many schools confuses the parents, but there are some general and basic principles which parents should consider before admitting their children in a school.

These basic principles include: Medium of the school (i.e., English, Telugu or Urdu), the atmosphere of the school, and the teacher student relationship. The teaching patterns and techniques should be latest and based on modern technology. The entire education system of the school should be technology driven.

The student should be allowed to learn things in his / her own way. They should be given liberty to select the board in which they wish to pursue their education. The schools in Hyderabad contain two to three boards like Cambridge board, GCSE, CBSE and Indian board.

The schools of Hyderabad are good in every aspect like good playgrounds and infrastructure, highly qualified teaching staff and experienced organizers. The educational system of Hyderabad schools focuses not only on alphabets and numbers study, but also in extracurricular activities. In fact, education is a mixture of fun, entertainment and learning and knowledge is imparted to the child through different courses. These schools are based on converting a child into a complete person.

The discipline of the school, vision and environment is the most important things to be considered by parents before admitting their children. In India, schools are divided into divisions like primary, pre primary or montessori, secondary and higher secondary. The students are given the liberty to select their board after passing the 8th class, as some of the students go for matriculation studies, while others go for O-level studies. The O-level study can be found in different boards like Cambridge board and Edexel board. It depends on the student that which board he / she selects. Some of the other facilities provided by schools include: Transportation facilities, boarding facilities and accommodation.

If you are among those who are in search of the top schools in Hyderabad, you have stepped up to the right place. Going through this article will enable you to get to know about the best schools in Hyderabad. You need to make a few clicks of the mouse and download the application form and admission form. Just fill up the form and send it online.

You should visit the school before paying fees, so that you can get to know about the working environment of the school. Online routes are preferred for conducting detailed research, as the internet allows you to gather plenty of information about everything. Online routes allow you to view the entire school through their website.

Some of the top schools of Hyderabad include: DAV, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavans, Oasis, Sister Nivedita School, National public school, Mount Carmel global school, Oakridge International l, Orchids International, Howard public school, Manthan International and Praganya Montessori School. All these schools are affiliated with different boards and it depends upon parents that which board they select for their children.

A basic Christian argument for affirming gay marriage (Part two ...

Ted Grimsrud?May 21, 2012

In the first part of this post, I suggested that Christian churches should be disposed toward affirming gay marriage. Two key factors that support this disposition are (1) the sense we have that marriage is a good thing that should be encouraged and supported in the churches and (2) the emphasis the Bible places on hospitality, especially toward vulnerable people, as a central calling of faith communities.

Both of these points speak to a general disposition, that we should be inclined toward affirmation unless there are clear reasons to override this disposition. It would be possible to draw negative conclusions about gay marriage even if one affirms the disposition toward affirmation. We could do so if we were convinced that there is something inherently immoral about the same-sexness of the partnership.

The argument in favor of affirming gay marriage, though, is at its heart an argument in favor of rigorous moral expectations concerning intimate relationships. It is an argument that same-sex couples should be expected to adhere to the moral standards that govern heterosexual marriage. It is not an argument for relaxing those standards or applying different standards to same-sex couples than apply to heterosexual couples.

The challenge for those who would not affirm gay marriage, then, is to show that there is something inherently wrong simply in the partners being of the same sex. I identified three reasons that are often given by those who do withhold affirmation. The relationships are seen to be immoral:?(1) if the relationship is harmful to the people involved; or (2) if the relationship undermines the sanctity of marriage; or (3) if the Bible tells us that, even so, this relationship violates God?s will for human beings.

I use the case of the relationship between ?Ilse? and ?Jennifer? (based on actual people I know) to present the most positive scenario possible on behalf of affirming gay marriage. To withhold such affirmation, one would need to show why this relationship is immoral (and overcome the benefit of the doubt in favor of affirmation based on the positive value we see in marriage and the biblical call for hospitality toward vulnerable people).

Is the relationship inherently harmful?

Many debates rage about this question. However, we should recognize that a persuasive argument concerning inherent harmfulness would need to apply to all same-sex partnerships. The argument would need to show that it is due to the same-sexness of the partnership that harm results. The argument is making claims about homosexuality per se, not just about specific examples. If some same-sex intimate partnerships are not harmful, then this argument does not work because the harm that may be part of some relationships is not due to the homosexuality itself.

We would acknowledge that there are many heterosexual intimate partnerships that are harmful?due to abuse, physical damage, disrespect, etc. But the existence of harmful heterosexual relationships does not render heterosexual relationships as a class harmful. Should we have examples of same-sex partnerships that are not harmful, we would have cause to suggest that we have to do with a parallel dynamic. That is, the existence of?some?harmful same-sex partnerships does not render homosexual relationships as a class harmful.

At this point, we could consider Ilse and Jennifer?s relationship. As it turns out, anyone who knows them very well would testify that their relationship is mutually beneficial for them and beneficial for all who are part of their lives. In their partnership (which as I mentioned in the previous post includes their own children), they are a blessing to each other in every way that a healthy and long-term heterosexual marriage is a blessing to all who are affected by it.

Ilse and Jennifer are not necessarily any more unusual within the set of same-sex married couples than a happily married heterosexual couple would be within the set of opposite-sex married couples. There are many other same-sex couples whose partnerships make it clear to any who would observe that there is nothing inherently harmful about such relationships.

Does the relationship undermine the sanctity of marriage?

This question also leads to intense debates. It is difficult to imagine how these debates can avoid being circular, though. Same-sex marriage undermines the sanctity of marriage if you define marriage as being limited to opposite-sex partners. Same-sex marriage does not undermine the sanctity of marriage if you don?t define marriage as being limited to opposite-sex partners.

Part of the issue, then, is what constitutes the core of our definition of marriage. Is it (1) the sexual identity of the two partners? Or is it (2) the commitment and quality of life that is shared by the two partners? Some would say that both of these are part of the definition. But do they have to be? Is #2 dependent upon #1?

What would make marriage sacred? Numerous writers (including Garry Wills) have commented recently that the Christian church did not consider marriage to be a sacrament until the twelfth century. The Bible itself surprisingly offers few actual accounts of examples of the ?one man/one woman? ?sacred? marriage many Christians today see as the norm (as a thought experiment, try to think of important male characters from throughout the Bible whose ?one-woman-for-life? marriage is described).

The meaning of marriage seems to have been different in different times and places. Thus it is difficult to ascertain one particular model that may be seen as ?sacred? for all times and places.

However, we could argue that the best way to support the institution of marriage is to focus on the virtues of fidelity, mutuality, faithfulness, commitment to God and the way of Jesus, and enhancing of the well-being of those affected by the relationship. Given the multitudinous failures of opposite-sex marriages to embody such virtues, might those committed to these virtues best make common cause?

Again, if we look at Ilse and Jennifer?s relationship, we see an impressive embodiment of these key ?sacred? virtues that underlie the ideal of marriage. Their relationship seems to undergird the sanctity of marriage, not undermine it.

[In Part Three of this post, I will focus on the biblical case for opposition to gay marriage.]

A review of Foreign currency trading ? globaldailychronicle.com

My spouse and i acquired the next problem derived from one of regarding my own checklist members nowadays:

?? a person described the forex money marketplace has this can be fundamentally an industry involving finance institutions across nations around the world. Does this mean that, for example, the actual EURO/USD trade rates are set between the Government Arrange and also the ECB? Is the way a cost is established with no advantage of any investing in just about any shown change somewhere else? Was looking for quick education about this specific position.In . * Stan Z ..

The forex trading place market is mostly the ?interbank? market. Meaning almost all of the trading quantity is completed bank-to-bank like among Citibank as well as Goldman Sachs, by way of example. This particular buying and selling is mostly completed on the part of consumer banking consumers such as worldwide firms, the banks also invest the other each in order to hedge their foreign currency coverage and to undertake trading jobs.

These kinds of industry framework is equivalent to normally the one for many money industry federal government debt trading, such as that for all of us Treasury Provides etc. Imaginable that much like the over-the-counter niche for stocks. Those trades don?t proceed through the swap, but they are done directly broker-to-broker.

Both in forex and fixed earnings you will find massive players just like hedge cash which get involved with the industrial along with expense finance institutions. The earth?s core banking institutions will also be main members only at that amount inside their efforts to effect fx rates (currency trading) and/or rates of interest (repaired revenue).

Your financial transaction dimensions within the interbank market place are generally huge : generally $5 million or higher. Certainly, the typical personal investor will not end up being buying and selling everywhere in close proximity to which large. That is where the internet brokerages as well as currency trading sellers come in to learn. They permit little merchants to accomplish dealings inside drastically reduced sums. Actually, there?s no less than one which will do positions as small as $1.

This is where some individuals have a tad stressed. A number of these currency trading retailers actually become market makers with their customers. What i mean is they will take the other side from the investments which are produced by their customers. That is an issue that can occasionally take place in the stock exchange at the same time, particularly with Over-the-counter futures. Your issue that people have got with this will be the suggested discord appealing regarding value execution that can cause. Is really a dealer who?ll be utilizing the other side of your respective business going to be acting in your greatest interest if you wear the buy and sell?

Although it could be genuine that a few greedy retailers usually takes advantage of the clientele in this way, I will be quite confident that many of them are certainly not behaving towards their clients. They only offer assets towards the marketplace and also create the distributed to do so. When they?ve the extreme experience of virtually any specific currency exchange, they offset it by securing inside interbank market place or perhaps using one more dealer. That?s basically the same as a floor speculator about any kind of change.

Getting to the actual problem of how costs acquire collection, the market really does in which, not the particular key banks. Everyone bank along with vendor is really placing its own price. That may seem a lttle bit strange because it could produce diverse costs everywhere. The actual fact from the make a difference is, even so, in which rates between retailers and also finance institutions happen to be likely to be really, really near. You can find companies such as Reuters where vendor prices are aggregated and offered within information rss feeds, making it possible for everyone to find out the existing (as well as historic) industry prices. Arbitrage buying and selling maintains retailers through pricing price ranges too far far from the other person.

There?s also buying and selling inside commodity market place, and also the somewhat new foreign exchange exchanged money (ETFs). The experience presently there, even though just a portion in the world-wide market place quantity, furthermore plays a part in preserving price ranges within collection charges.

A look at Facebook by the numbers

Facebook is the dominant social network in 11 of 12 key global markets surveyed by Nielsen.?

By Matthew Shaer / May 19, 2012

Facebook done growing? Hardly.

Reuters

Enlarge

With its much-ballyhooed IPO, Facebook remains the most popular social network in the world, outstripping all competitors?in almost every key market. So say the folks at Nielsen, who yesterday released a new (and fascinating) batch of Facebook statistics. Among the findings: In the US, 69 percent of active Web users ? or 152 million people ? visit Facebook at least once a month.?

In Brazil, where once Orkut was king, a whopping 76 percent of Web users ? or 38 million people ? regularly use the social network. In Italy, the number is 70 percent. In New Zealand, it's 79. The numbers, reps for Nielsen wrote, underscore "Facebook?s transcendence of borders around the world ? and on the world wide web." In fact, in the 12 markets surveyed by Nielsen, there's only one place Facebook is not dominant: Japan.?

According to Nielsen, in Japan "blog sites are more popular in the social media category," and Facebook is fifth, not first, in the social media category. (Facebook is blocked in China for the foreseeable future.)?

As we noted the other day, a new AP/CNBC poll reveals that?43 percent of Americans think?Facebook?will be successful over the long term, while a full 46 percent think Facebook will "fade away as new things come along." It's possible, of course, that Facebook will eventually get knocked off the leader-board. But considering the tight grip Facebook currently holds on the global market, that "fade" is probably not going to happen anytime soon.?

Still, Facebook still must address one key challenge: Translating all those eyeballs, here and abroad, into advertising cash. Reps for the social network have been touting the precise and wide-reaching power of Facebook as an advertising platform ? it's a key part of the pre-IPO pitch to investors. Yesterday, however, came the news?that General Motors was pulling its advertisements?from Facebook.?

The reason? Facebook wasn't helping GM sell cars. More on that development here. And for more tech news, follow us on?Twitter @venturenaut.?

Ofri Cnaani's 'Special Effects' At Andrea Meislin Gallery (PHOTOS)

Recently, someone posted on my FB event wall that money isn?t important; serving his market, donating to causes and impacting others is what drives him.

Most of the entrepreneurs I know feel the same way. I know I do. And yet, without money in your business it?s more difficult to serve at the highest level.

More and more entrepreneurs are coming from a very conscious place in how they run their businesses. It?s about honesty, integrity, the desire to serve, giving the best we can and making a profit.

When we are profitable we have more choice in the impact we want to make.

For example, if a colleague is running in a marathon to raise money for homeless people, I don?t have to give much thought to whether or not I can make a donation when my business is profitable.

If I have a family member who may need help with a medical bill or groceries, when my business is profitable, I don?t have to worry about writing a check.

If the local youth group at my church is raising money for their own cause, I can easily make the decision to help out.

Many of my friends, colleagues and clients feel the same way.

The Internet has opened up incredible opportunity to those of us who want our businesses and all we offer to be an expression of who we are.

In order to do this there are certain realities we have to accept. One, an online business is not about becoming an Internet Guru. It?s about using all the Internet has to offer to reach your market. Whether you are in the health

and nutrition field, art, photography, dog care, elder care, relationship coaching, life coaching, business consulting, or gardening, the tools available to us today have evened the playing ground.

Another reality is that virtually any expert will benefit greatly from developing information products for their market. Whether it be free or paid products to build your list, credility and trust factor, if you have yet to

create products, isn?t it time.

Another reality is having a clearly defined market to sell to.

It?s one thing to develop your products, but if you have no market you have no business. It?s as simple as that.

Let?s assume you do have a clearly defined market, you have market position and you have great ideas for products, before jumping headfirst into development consider this; as with virtually anything, there are pros and cons to product creation.

Let?s start with the pros

  • Serve your market
  • Impact your customers and clients in a positive way
  • Generate revenues
  • Create a lifestyle business

Now the downside

  • They take time to create
  • The first is usually the most difficult
  • Unrealistic expectations by the consumer
  • Those who buy, use, and then refund

It?s up to you to determine if the good outweighs the bad. In my book, the good definitely outweighs the bad.

Consider this; business is about trends. Your job is to be aware of the trends to determine how to adjust to market changes. A growing trend is disillusionment by the consumer.

Today?s consumers have become jaded by all that is available. They are tired of the hype and false promises. They want real value for their investment of time and money.

As you grow your business and your product offerings always keep in mind that whether someone invests one dollar or one thousand dollars you must never take this for granted. Appreciate the fact that each and every dollar represents a consumer?s trust in you.

Not everyone is cut out for running an online business. But for those who are, this is an incredible way to live. What could be better than knowing you are making a positive difference in the lives of so many?
