If you thought a bigger pixel count just meant bigger file sizes, then take a look above. That big guy at the bottom is the 41-megapixel sensor responsible for those awesome Nokia 808 PureView shots we saw at MWC on Monday. The two above it are 8- and 5-megapixel sensors respectively, and give you an idea of the real-estate cost of packing a superior snapper. At two and a half times the physical size of the N8's prized optics, we think the PureView system earns its title as the biggest thing in mobile imaging somewhat convincingly.
The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence was formed to spread awareness of domestic violence and improve the safety and services for victims of domestic violence. The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence defines domestic violence as "being a pattern of behavior that includes the use or threat of violence and intimidation for the purpose of gaining power and control over another person". Domestic violence takes many forms; it can be physical, sexual, isolation, emotional, control, and verbal. "Women of all backgrounds experience abuse. Eighty five percent of domestic violence victims are women" (Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence). Domestic violence can also occur between gay and lesbian couples. The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence states that, "domestic violence between gay and lesbian couples occurs in approximately twenty five to thirty percent of relationships, which is the same statistical frequency as in heterosexual relationships". Domestic violence does not just happen in marriages or between adults. There are many teenagers that experience domestic violence in their relationships. "Approximately twenty percent of high school girls have reported being physically and/or mentally abused by a dating partner" (Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence). There are also cases where there is domestic violence against boys as well. Although, boys hardly experience physical relationship abuse, they can be pressured into having sex. Domestic violence can have effects on children and other people. According to Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence, "slightly more than half of female victims of intimate partner violence live in households with children under age twelve and thousands of American children witness intimate partner violence within their own families". The impact of domestic violence is huge. "On average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country everyday" (Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence). The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence states that, "victim safety and batterer accountability must be of primary importance". Victims also need to be able to trust the criminal justice system to protect them from the batterer. The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence gives a great deal of advice on how to help someone if you believe they are a victim of domestic abuse. It can be very hard to know what to do, or even to get the victim understand and the best thing to do it try. There are five things the website gives to say when a victim says they cannot leave and those are: "I am afraid for your safety, I am afraid for the safety of your children, It will only get worse, there is help available, and you don't deserve to be abused" (Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence). Safety and safety planning is very important. There are different risks associated with each option, whether it be staying in the relationship or going to stay with friends and family. The most important thing someone can do is to let the victim know you are there to help, support, and be patient. It is important for the victim to know that you are on their side and support their decisions.

More people surviving cancer in Northern IrelandPublic release date: 28-Feb-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Despite the rising incidence of cancer in Northern Ireland, the number of people surviving the disease in the country is increasing significantly year on year.
Each year there are between 50-60 men and women who survive the deadly effects of cancer who previously would have died.
The survival rates in Northern Ireland for cancers including breast and colorectal are among the best in the UK, and its patients are benefiting from improved treatment outcomes by up to four per cent better than those for England and Wales.
The figures have been revealed as Queen's University Belfast accepted a Diamond Jubilee Queen's Anniversary Prize at Buckingham Palace, in recognition of its leadership of the Northern Ireland Comprehensive Cancer Services (CCS) programme.
The CCS programme has been credited with driving forward the improvements in cancer survival in Northern Ireland. It is a collaboration led by Queen's University in partnership with the Department of Health and the five Northern Ireland Health Trusts with support from the medical research industry.
The programme has resulted in the reorganisation of cancer services across Northern Ireland, and investment of more than 200 million in infrastructure and personnel for treatment and research by the University and the health service.
The CCS programme was also recently described by the distinguished medical journal, The Oncologist, as 'life-extending research that is emblematic of the way cancer medicine should be conducted in the 21st century.'
Accepting the prize, Professor Patrick Johnston, Dean of the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, said: "Despite the rising incidence rates of cancer, between 1993 and 2009, the number of men dying from cancer has gone down by 1.3 per cent and the number of women by 0.9 per cent. Some of our survivors are currently alive and well a significant number of years after the kind of cancer that not so long ago would have taken them from us.
"Cancer no longer needs to be seen as an inevitable death sentence. In many instances it can now be viewed instead as a chronic disease."
He added: "This award underpins our reputation as a global centre of excellence for cancer care. To receive it is a singular honour, not just for Queen's but for the whole of Northern Ireland and in particular all the fundraisers, the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, the five Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Trusts and our supporters from the national and international medical research industry.
"Our strength lies in a multidisciplinary approach teams of scientists and clinicians working together across academic and NHS boundaries on behalf of cancer patients and their families."
Queen's Vice Chancellor Professor Sir Peter Gregson said: "Queen's is committed to high quality translational research. We are seeing innovations which are providing life-saving and life-enhancing results, reflecting our drive to become a global force in the fight against cancer."
The pillars of the CCS programme are the Clinical Cancer Centre at Belfast City Hospital, the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology, the Cancer Research Programme at Queen's and the University's Northern Ireland Cancer Registry which provides vital information about research and outcomes.

3) Patient survival is one of the best indicators as to the efficiency of diagnostic and treatment methods in a geographic area, and is widely used as a broad indicator as the effectiveness of health services in the treatment of cancer. Survival figures for Northern Ireland now reveal:
Breast cancer survival at three years, has risen from 79 per cent in 1996 to 84 per cent in 2006.
Between 2001 and 2006 survival from oesophageal cancer improved from significantly with one year survival increasing from 32 per cent to 39 per cent.
Prostrate cancer exhibited continuous improvement from 1996 to 2006, mostly due to the increase in number and type of prostrate cancers diagnosed as a result of the increase in use of PSA testing.
For lung cancer patients who had surgery, survival was significantly different with 21-month observed survival at 44 per cent in 1996, 64 per cent in 2001 and 74 per cent in 2006.

Courtney Robertson allegedly appears on The Bachelor: Women Tell All special this season, according to reports. Why is this noteworthy for Bachelor fans?
Because the Women Tell All episode, which airs March 5, but was taped Friday in L.A., has never featured either of the girls in the following week's finale.
Does that mean Courtney Robertson gets bounced this Monday? Or did the show make a special exception to bring out a finalist because, well, it's her?
According to insiders and The Bachelor spoilers we have read, analyzed, maintained and posted throughout this winter ... they made an exception for her.
Courtney has been the center of so much controversy all season long - she's pretty much the reason for the show at this point - they felt they had to.
It's true. Giving Court a chance to square off with the other women (or vice versa) could make for amazing television. They probably hate her more now!
Back when all the drama was taking place during filming, they hadn't even seen her confessionals, with some of the best quotes (see highlight reel below).
Specifically, Court's main nemesis, Emily O'Brien, should give her an earful.
The Bachelor returns tomorrow night as Robertson, Lindzi Cox and Nicki Sterling vie for the final two spots in the March 12 season finale. Stay tuned.

Oftentimes, when talking about bankruptcy, it is not a good idea to consider it in isolated terms. This is simple to comprehend and natural and it is not something that only affects you. If you mistakenly overlook something, the outcomes can be unpleasant, to say the least. It is only soon after looking at all that is on the table will you be in a strong position to make your move. We will present you some unique and important details on bankruptcy so you can carefully consider as much as possible.
When you can no longer manage or hope to pay back all the insurmountable debts that you owe, you consider that last ditch alternative called bankruptcy. The bankruptcy thingy frees you already from the irritating calls and all such from irritating banks, lenders, and creditors. Fortunately, being an ultrasound technician have plenty of rewards and commissions every now and then that is why I was capable to cover my husband?s debts whose business went bankrupt.
You can mend your credit score in less time than the seven years or so for which they are ruined, but you need to accept first the fact that a bankruptcy filing really does ruin your credit score for at least that much time, one of the few consequences of that option. You can mend your credit using the two simple and straightforward steps that follow.
Step 1: Get a firm grasp of your present credit score and its implications
In order to fix the damage to your credit, you first course of action is determining your specific financial position. You will do well to request your credit scores with the big three credit bureaus of the United States ? Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Safe and easy, you can totally place your orders online for these reports.
You should have the reports printed out so that you can scrutinize them in detail. Being thoughtful concerning this issue is crucial especially for me who is paying my financial debt out of my ultrasound technician salary. You must learn about every last detail that reflects badly on your credit report ? you have to read through to understand, and you have to outline every record that reflects badly on your score in any way, be they negative or just plain inaccurate.
There just is no denying about the potential of bankruptcy to dramatically alter some circumstances is incredible. No one really can adequately address all the different circumstances that could arise with this particular topic. So we feel this is just an excellent time to take a break and examine what has just been covered. This is the type of content that men and women need to know about, and we have no problems saying that. As usual, we generally save the very finest for last.
Step 2: Check out the dates that they expire
Going according to what the law says, you have only about ten years, or even seven, to live with that bad credit report, although the precise date may vary somewhat with each of these printouts. The ruined score on your credit rating goes nowhere for that duration despite your bankruptcy discharge or the fact that you may have completely repaid all old debts.
You must know the dates that the judgments happened, the liens, your bankruptcy filings, your charge-offs and collection records ? you must know their exact dates. Your credit score, you will realize, experiences a marked improvement the very day these records expire.
In Closing
So, you just went through a bankruptcy, so what; folks like you have been proactive and have managed to repair and reconstruct their credit, and they did not sit chained to bad credit for seven or ten years ? and you can do it too.
It is plain to see how fairly quickly this can be put into action and pretty much whenever you want.
The essential point as it concerns bankruptcy is you have to make sure you receive not only information you need, but it has to be the right information. You just have to really be careful about where you get your information, at times. Although we do feel most content writers have totally sincere goals when they write. What is up next really can have an effect on your unique outcomes.

Reuters - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces rained rockets and bombs down on opposition-held neighborhoods of the city of Homs on Wednesday, reducing buildings to rubble and killing more than 80 people, including two Western journalists.
ScienceDaily (Feb. 23, 2012) ? The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) has just announced Sumatra's first ever successful sentence of an illegal orangutan owner and trader in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia.
The seven-month prison sentence is only the third for Indonesia, despite orangutans being strictly protected under Indonesian law since 1924.
Although there have been over 2,500 confiscations of illegally held orangutans in Indonesia since the early 1970's, the first actual prosecution of an illegal orangutan owner occurred in Borneo in 2010, and now in Sumatra with this case in 2012.
The case began with the confiscation of a young male orangutan named Julius last July in Mardinding, Karo District, in the province of North Sumatra. The owner was allegedly trying to sell the orangutan, which was believed to be three years old.
The raid was conducted by the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry's Directorate-General for Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHKA), working in conjunction with WCS's Wildlife Crime Unit and the veterinarian and staff of the SOCP.
The Wildlife Crime Unit, created by WCS in 2003 and funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other donors, provides data and technical advice to law enforcement agencies to support the investigation and prosecution of wildlife crimes.
The SOCP, implemented by the Swiss-based PanEco Foundation, and the Indonesian NGO YEL (Foundation for a Sustainable Ecosystem) have operated the only orangutan rescue center in Sumatra since 2001 and have so far reintroduced over 150 confiscated ex-pet orangutans back to the wild. Julius is now being cared for at the SOCP's orangutan quarantine center near Medan, with just over 50 other orangutans also being prepared for a return to the forest. After spending 30 days in quarantine, Julius is now living in a socialization cage, which allows him to adapt to the presence of other orangutans. Though the road to full rehabilitation might still be a long one, Julius is making excellent progress and is expected to be released back into the wild in the future.
The sentence reflects an increase in activity and action to combat the illegal wildlife trade in Indonesia in recent years. In the last two years there have been more than 20 arrests for illegally possessing or trading protected wildlife, including the critically endangered Sumatran tiger and pangolin.
The prosecution is in full compliance with the Indonesian Government's own National Orangutan Conservation Strategy and Action plan, launched in 2007.
The majority of illegal pet orangutans are a byproduct of forest clearance for palm oil plantations and of conflicts between farmers and orangutans that raid crops in converted agricultural areas. In most cases, they are not hunted specifically for food or trade in Sumatra, but are more "refugees" from forests that no longer exist.
Conservationists believe Julius's mother was killed at the time of his capture. Relatively few orangutans are actively traded in Sumatra, but the SOCP and PHKA still confiscate around 30 illegal pets each year, whose mothers have been killed.
The Head of Natural Resources Conservancy Agency (BBKSDA) North Sumatra, Arief Tongkagie, said: "Based on the successful completion of this case, our hope is that in the future more people will be willing to report crimes against orangutans."
According to Panut, Chairman of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Forum (FOKUS): "Increased efforts to curb crimes against orangutans will provide a deterrent effect to traders."
The Wildlife Conservation Society is actively trying to reduce the damaging impact of the illegal wildlife trade.
"We commend Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry's Directorate-General for Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHKA) for taking a hard stance on wildlife trade, which is threatening to destroy the country's natural resources," said Dr Noviar Andayani, Director of the WCS Indonesia Program. "We are hopeful that this prosecution sends a clear message that illegal wildlife trade will not be tolerated in Indonesia."
Live orangutans sold in Indonesia, or exported illegally to neighboring countries, are kept as pets or in private collections. Other wildlife traded for food, medicines, skins, biomedical research, souvenirs and pets from Indonesia include rhinos, elephants, tigers, birds, bears, orchids, marine and freshwater fish, turtles, fragrant timber, pangolins, corals, snakes, bats, sharks, and rodents.
"Working closely with law enforcement is a key component in the fight against illegal wildlife trade," said Joe Walston, WCS Executive Director for Asia programs. "If governments want to protect their wildlife resources, they need to be serious about enforcement. Clearly Indonesia is taking a lead on this front."
Ian Singleton, Director of Conservation for the PanEco Foundation and the person in charge of the SOCP, said: "It's absolutely fantastic to finally have a prosecution of an illegal orangutan 'owner' in Sumatra, but it's also long overdue. With this sentence, as long as it is widely publicized in the region, anyone considering capturing, killing or keeping an orangutan illegally will certainly think twice about it, and hopefully the numbers being killed and kept in the coming years will begin to decline."

There is lots fact vs. fiction with regards to the real truth about alcohol and fat loss. This could be also a painful area for those who prefer to drink and tend to be trying to shed pounds.

I propose for you to seek out a menozac reviews before you make you buy the car.
Will alcohol cause me to fat? It can be a smart idea to check up on http://stophivestoday.com/ for additional information. The concept alcohol converts to fat is usually a myth. Unlike essential nutrients including protein, carbohydrates and fat, when alcohol is consumed it gets special privileges and requirements no digestion.

When acetate levels rises, your entire body actually starts to burn more acetate and as a consequence uses less energy to burn off unwanted fat. It feels right a slower and fewer efficient metabolism.
It is critical to realize that all alcoholic drink sources (beer, wine and liquor) have a high index.

A normal glass of burgandy or merlot wine has numerous health improvements, but on the other hand, drinking five glasses on Friday night negates these benefits whether or not you?ve were stay clear of Monday to Thursday. Remember that moderation is key.
Steer clear of the Sugar You can find definitely a lot more unfavourable alcoholic drinks than you will find favourable ones, however you can still try a cocktail it doesn?t overload your entire body with excess sugar and carbs. If you?d prefer beer, keep with a ?light? brand including Bud Light or Michelob Ultra. Vodka is among the only liquors it doesn?t contain carbohydrates. When you purchase a real mix this kind of club soda or water with a little lime you are saving yourself on the insulin surge that is going to result of consuming it with juice or flavoured sodas. One final recommend is dry champagne. One 4 ounce glass is merely 95 calories and has now a lot less than 2 grams of carbohydrates.
So What?s the Net profit? As you move the odd drink occasionally doesn?t hurt, the end result is that alcohol as well as a leaner, stronger body just doesn?t mix?only you can decide what?s most crucial for your requirements!
