Verizon HTC Incredible 4G gets press render, sheepishly grins for Mr. Blurrycam

HTC Incredible 4G sheepishly grins for Mr. Blurrycam
Promise not to laugh, folks, because this one appears a bit camera shy: meet the HTC Incredible 4G for Verizon Wireless. As you can see, the designers have kept the same industrial, funky and yet austere style as before, and like the original, the famous red accents are back in the mix. The camera pod continues to exist as part of a larger protrusion on the back, which now sports a significant amount of texture. The number of capacitive buttons on the front has been reduced to three, with search now absent. The Incredible 4G is is most certainly an Ice Cream Sandwich device, complete with a Sense 4 overlay.

A quick peek at the hardware information reveals a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of built-in storage, an 8MP primary camera and a front-facing VGA counterpart, along with 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 -- as well as support for LTE, NFC and WiFi Direct. The display is estimated at 4-inches and is said to offer qHD resolution. In highly welcome bit of news, the camera is said to capture a rapid burst of images, which gives us hope that this is the same option found on the One X and One S. Nonetheless, it appears to be a mainstream, middle-of-the-road handset that will likely be priced between $100 and $150 on-contract. Be sure to hop the break for the press render, and for a few extra blurry snapshots, just hit up the source link below.

Preventive Measure for Mosquito | Health and Fitness Blog

Mosquitoes can be extremely threatening because the insects are equipped for multiplying in a rapid rate plus cause diseases like malaria and chikungunya. There are numerous pest management methods which might be taken up with the eradication of such insects inside an effective and affordable manner.

Mosquito breeding usually is whithin areas with standing or stagnant water and as such removing these kinds of sources is the better way to stop multiplication of the. Make sure that all drainage areas are closed and sealed and as well remove objects like old tires, used cans, buckets and barrels, that can collect water and turn a breeding ground of these insects.

When you have an artificial pond, fountain, bird bath or pool at home, make certain you clean these regularly to ensure that no larvae exists which can breed into mosquitoes. For those who have a natural pond, lake, well and other water body near the house, then introduce species of fish that feast upon mosquito larvae and thereby assistance in preventing the rapid breeding.

Yet another simple method to stop breeding is to apply oils to coat the counter of water that could increase the surface tension and stop the larvae and pupae from getting air for breathing. In case your area is afflicted with any of the mosquito borne diseases like dengue or malaria, you then must report this to your health authorities. Usually chemical pesticides are sprayed in these areas to crush existing larvae and pupae that could bring down the menace.

This method requires specialized equipment so because of this must simply be carried out by professional pest control experts. The spraying procedure is frequently carried out in the evenings when these insects are most active. Care also needs to be taken that high concentrations with this chemical spray aren\?t used which is toxic for individuals and pets.

In areas tormented by mosquitoes, personal protection can be very important to avoid diseases. Make certain you wear clothes that go over your body completely especially arms or legs. Keep the doors and windows shut from early evening to counteract these insects from entering your own home. Fans can be effective than air conditioning equipment can in preventing these insects from biting you because they cannot fly about in moving air. Also you can attach insecticides coated mosquito nets to line the windows, air pockets and doors to stop the entry these. In some places, such nets can also be found for use on beds and cradles which may be used during sleep.

Mood Drug Can Both Cause and Relieve Anxiety

[unable to retrieve full-text content]

If you have ever jumped at a loud noise and felt an adrenaline rush, you have experienced the effects of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). In the body, this hormone triggers the familiar fight-or-flight response--racing heart, shortness of breath, sweaty palms. In the brain, however, it acts as a chemical messenger, playing a role in anxiety and depression. That role, a new study suggests, is more complex than anyone expected.

Angela Corey, the special prosecutor investigating the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, is scheduled to hold a 6 p.m. EDT press conference in Jacksonville, Fla., on Wednesday, where she is expected to charge George Zimmerman in the 17-year-old's killing.

According to the Associated Press, Zimmerman will be charged with 2nd-degree murder. Corey's office confirmed the press conference but did not elaborate on the details. According to the AP, Zimmerman is in custody. According to CNN, he turned himself in.

The announcement comes a day after Zimmerman's attorneys said that they were dropping the case because their client had stopped communicating with them. On Sunday, Zimmerman launched a website seeking donations for his legal and living expenses.

Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, shot and killed Martin on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., a gated community outside of Orlando. He told police he was attacked by Martin and was acting in self-defense.

Earlier this week, Corey announced the case would not go to a grand jury.

Cow escapes NJ slaughterhouse, will be spared

(AP) ? A cow that escaped from a New Jersey slaughterhouse will be spared.

The black-and-white bovine was running through the streets of Paterson sometime after 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Animal control officer John De Cando tells The Record newspaper (http://bit.ly/IqWC6F) it was like "Dodge City" with police cars trying to corral the 750-pound animal. But the cow managed to break loose.

De Cando tranquilized the cow after it became trapped between a fire hydrant and a truck.

De Cando says the slaughterhouse owner has promised to take the animal to a farm.

No one was injured.
