LG Optimus G revealed: 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, ICS, LTE, 4.7-inch screen with in-cell touch

LG Optimus G revealed 15GHz quadcore CPU, ICS, LTE, 47inch screen with incell touch

LG has been teasing its upcoming Optimus G smartphone for weeks and now we finally have the full specs and it appears to be renamed the Optimus G Lightning. When it arrives in Korea next month it will be the first with LTE mounted to a quad-core CPU, thanks to the 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 at its center. The display is also groundbreaking, featuring LG's fully integrated touch technology, sounds like it's new in-cell touch to us, for a thinner screen and bezel. It's a True HD (1280 x 768) IPS LCD, and LG claims when it's turned off the 3mm bezel and body of the phone match the screen when it's turned off. Just the leaks indicated, it also has 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera and 2,100mAh battery, all while measuring only 8mm thick.

The only bad news so far? It will arrive in Korea next month (and on NTT Docomo in October or November as the L-01E in black and red, seen after the break) with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, not Jelly Bean. The software will be as we've seen on other high-powered LG units like the Optimus Vu, with the addition of a "live zoom" feature on video and Dual Screen Dual Play mirroring for external displays. The real triumph for LG however, is its ability to vertically integrate technology from its various units to create the device. LG Chem provided a battery that is the first to offer a lifespan of 800 cycles, while LG Display created the screen and partnered with LG Innotek on the G2 Touch Hybrid Display unibody tech that eliminates the gap between the glass and the LCD panel. A worldwide launch is promised later in the year, although we'd expect to hear more soon at IFA 2012.

Afghan officials: Insurgents behead 17 civilians

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) ? Afghan officials say Taliban insurgents have beheaded 17 Afghan civilians for taking part in a music event in a Taliban-controlled area of southern Afghanistan.

The Interior Ministry says the attack happened Sunday in Helmand province and that gunfire was also involved.

Helmand provincial government spokesman Daoud Ahmadi says the attack happened in Musa Qala district. Ahmadi says all of the victims had their heads chopped off. He says it was not clear if they were shot first.

The Musa Qala government chief says the people had gathered for a celebration and were playing music and dancing and the insurgents wanted to stop the event. Neyamatullah Khan says the area where the slaughter took place is completely in Taliban control and so he does not have more details yet.

Health Nutrition And Conditioning ? Searchipnews.com :: Noticias y ...

Health, nutrition and physical fitness are the three connected areas that determine an individual?s sense of contentment and well being.

Well being involves the physical, emotional and spiritual levels of the individual. A physically balanced person is one who can carry out normal every day physical activities and reply to emergencies with out undo-options fatigue or soreness. The health part of wellness, nutrition and fitness is actually achieved through a healthy program of good nutrition, balanced physical activity, continuous schooling and mental routines, and social along with spiritual activities. Your different amounts of the food you eat and your activities affect both your current short term and long term health (how you feel right now and in the future). You might be getting plenty to consume, but if it is not a suitable balance of selections from all five of the basic food groups you might be adding fat for your body without creating the energy to burn the particular calories and energy to the cells to carry out their own functions. Healthy physical activity allows burn off any excess calories you consume, and also keeps muscles and joints versatile and strong.

Zija

Your efforts of continued education (looking at, attending seminars, and also attending formal education classes), and faith based activities (social activities, attending devotional services, relaxation, etc) provides you with feeling of accomplishment and well-being.

An important part of good wellness is being physically fit tweaking proper body weight. Maintaining health requires following a healthy diet, and training to build and maintain muscles, and to burn from an excess calories.

Nutrition

The actual nutritional health section of health, nutrition and physical fitness deals with the food we consume to maintain our health and wellbeing and provide energy to remain our daily lives. Nutrition is the process of nurturing or becoming nourished; the total of all the so-called processes that a plant or animal utilizes to take in and course of action food substances to maintain a healthy life.

A normal nutrition life style requires a well-balanced diet of food selected from the several basic food groups, fresh fruits, vegetables, naturally calcium rich dairy products or perhaps calcium enriched products, whole grains, and necessary protein (lean meat sea food, peas and beans). Other dietary factors should also be deemed. Most fruits and vegetables are better if they are consumed organic because heating damages some of the healthy nutrients. Steaming and broiling your meals are better than boiling or frying foods. Preparing fruits and veggies and vegetables is preferable to processed or ready foods. The prepared food items generally contain far more salt (sodium) than necessary and other flavour enhancing substances. Some of those additives do not increase any nutritional value on the food and may even always be harmful to your health.

Much more nutritional factors to consider would be the variety of the fruits and vegetables in our diet. Nutritional information shows that dark green greens (romaine lettuce, kale, broccoli, and so forth.), and orange greens (carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and summer squash) offers more nutritional value compared to some of the less vibrant vegetables.

Here are much more nutrition facts. Some foods help with burning fat. Green tea leads to fat burning by increasing the body?s metabolism and raising energy level. Foods high in health proteins are more difficult to process so they require more calories in the digestive system process.

Good nutrition methods may not be sufficient for some people they may require special supplements such as CoEnzimeQ10 kinds.

Physical Fitness

Physical fitness portion of fitness, health and nutrition will be the ability to carry out daily activities, enjoy leisure activities and have a healthy disease fighting capability to resist disease and infection. Developing and maintaining great physical fitness requires a harmony of good nutrition and diverse physical exercise.

Aug 27, 2012

I had a won?der?ful 10 day cre?ative break and now it?s back to dead?lines, work?shops and trav?el?ing. I love doing what I do but must admit this short break was nice and just what I needed. I pretty much work 7 days a week and some?times feel like my head will explode. Dri?ving with mom and dad to West Vir?ginia was as fun as dri?ving 21 hours can be, we had lots of laughs and enjoyed a lit?tle antique shop?ping along the way. I found some true vin?tage trea?sures for sure and can?not wait to share pho?tos my?finds.

One thing I was really happy about get?ting to do on our way home was stop and visit ?The Scrap?book Page? in Bar?boursville, WV. Max?ine Hodges has a won?der?ful store. If you are near or even an hour or two away it is well worth the drive. She has lots of cur?rent prod?uct and every?one there is super friendly. I had such a fun time help?ing every?one cre?ate an altered tag and sign my book ?Delight In The Sea?sons?. It was a nice steady flow of funny ladies and I hope I get to visit again, next?year.

Now that I?m home I will once again share tuto?ri?als on my blog and be cre?at?ing like a mad woman to meet my first book dead?line which is quickly approach?ing for book #3. I?m so excited about this book I can hardly con?tain myself.

To those of you who visit my blog for tech?niques and tuto?ri?als, thanks for being patient with me while I shared pho?tos of my jour?ney east with friends and family.

Hugs!

Your Love is My Drug | Psychology Today

For our first Valentine's Day, my boy had gotten me chocolate brains! Not only does he know me extremely well, but he also had it right?love originates in the brain, not the heart.

But what exactly is going on between the ears when those warm and fuzzy feeling wash over us? A study published earlier this year revealed that love actually acts like an addictive drug. Hmmm, it seems that Ke$ha also got it right...

Researchers at Stony Brook University in New York examined the neural correlates of intense, long-term love using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in 10 women and seven men. fMRI measures brain activity as a function of changes in blood flow. The participants, married an average of 21 years, underwent imaging while viewing either an image of their partner's face, or a familiar acquaintance.

Compared to viewing the acquaintance, areas specifically activated when viewing their spouse included:

? Regions of the dopamine-rich reward system, including the ventral tegmental area (VTA), dorsal striatum, and basal ganglia?areas that, interestingly, are implicated in early-stage passionate love. This "pleasure center," lead researcher Lucy Brown explains, "helps us recognize when something feels good."

? Regions implicated in maternal attachment, including: globus pallidus (GP), substantia nigra (SN), Raphe nucleus, thalamus, and insula.

Co-author Arthur Aron notes, "Intense passionate love uses the same system in the brain that gets activated when a person is addicted to drugs."

Adds Brown, "You can feel happy in love, but you can also feel anxious. The other person becomes a goal in life." A craving, an obsession. A feel-good sensation. Sounds like drug-taking behavior to me!

Love is perhaps one of the strongest of the human emotions, and we have long-known that animals' brains are wired to choose a mate, perhaps going to extremes for attention and affection. Whether you sparkle like Edward Cullen or prefer the John Cusack boombox approach, do whatever it takes to let yourself be known?they'll be addicted before you know it.

And if you don't have a significant other, chocolate is a perfectly appropriate and chemically-similar substitute!
