Recently read articles on Auto task kill apps, supposedly they're not good for battery life...upon abandoning Battery Doctor(BD) it seems like my battery has gone worse...should I stick to BD or any other apps or continue to rely solely on the system?

Best option is to root, is the risk worth taking?

Diet miracle or a hoax?

Move Over Weight Watchers, a new dietary supplement has doctors raving. Due to its almost unbelievable results, it has also created quite a frenzy among dieters. Since recently featured by the most famous Doctor in America and beloved talk show host, Garcinia Cambogia Extract is the latest buzz in weight loss and being touted as the “The Holy Grail of Weight Loss”. Doctors worldwide and millions of people are praising this so called revolutionary fat buster. – But not without controversy.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract is being proclaimed as the “Holy Grail” weight loss supplement. Video Credit: Dr. Oz* has not endorsed any specific product, only the Garcinia Cambogia extract ingredient with 60% HCA. Results have not been verified by Lifed and may or may not be typical.
Critics say the compounds – hydroxycitric acid, or HCA (the extract from the Garcinia Cambogia fruit), cause such dramatic weight loss that it is are ripe for abuse by people who only want to lose weight for cosmetic reasons. Proponents of the nutrient claim that it has been proven by scientific studies to be effective and safe, and that banning the natural compounds would be akin to banning vitamins.

One thing people on both sides can agree on is that the controversial, new supplement drastically works. A recent clinical study followed 135 people who were supplemented with 1500mg of Garcinia Cambogia and strictly monitored. On average, the participants lost 15 lbs each. That’s 15% of their overall body fat and 10.5% body weight.

There were no side effects reported. This is very exciting information and one reason why many experts and doctors think that Garcinia Cambogia is probably the most effective weapon against the obesity epidemic in our country.
Perhaps the most surprising part about this study is the fact that the participants were told not to change their diet or daily routine at all. That’s right, they lost an average of 15lbs without exercise or changing your diet.

And if all that weren’t reason enough to have desperate slimmers stocking up, researchers from the Department of Laboratory Medicine found that people taking Garcinia Cambogia extract experienced a significant decline in cravings for sweets and other foods high in carbohydrates – likely due to the nutrient’s positive effect on insulin and blood sugar counts.

Should Garcinia Cambogia Be Regulated?

Body ImageNews of this breakthrough has spread like wildfire and has propelled Garcinia Cambogia to the top of the weight loss world. However, some doctors argue this fat loss supplement may, in fact, cause too much of a weight reduction to be offered over-the-counter and therefore should be regulated like Xenical and other prescription diet aids.
Indeed, published, peer-reviewed research shows an average weight loss of 10 percent of a person’s bodyweight within just 10 weeks – an effect greater than most prescription diet pills.
This has some weight-management experts fearing the new super slimmer may, in fact, cause too much weight loss and may be abused by people who have no business taking it. In fact, The Norwegian Department of Public Health recently did a survey that showed 23% of normal-weight people consider themselves overweight – and are therefore four times more likely to misuse diet aids in an unwarranted attempt to lose weight.

Weight-management experts, as well as the Norwegian researchers, point out that the slimming aids should only be used by overweight individuals, not vanity seekers, in conjunction with healthy eating and regular physical activity.
How to Be a Smart Garcinia Cambogia Shopper…
Clinical Study ImageNo doubt about it, the Garcinia Cambogia diet is probably the number one bestselling diet in the U.S. And for good reason – both the research and real-life success stories suggest it really does seem to live up to the hype. Not surprisingly, given its popularity, Garcinia Cambogia products are advertised all over the internet.
But before you buy, be cautious because a high percentage of Garcinia Cambogia supplements advertised online contain a host of fillers and added ingredients like caffeine, which you absolutely don’t want.

While there are a lot of products to choose from, and you should choose whichever product you like best, many like the Garcinia Cambogia formula called Pure Garcinia Cambogia (see the promotion below). This pure form of HCA is manufactured in the United States, contain no fillers or other unnecessary ingredients, is tested daily for quality control and potency, and the recommended dosages is the same as those used in the clinical trials

Do teachers favour attractive kids?

GetMePhones — Fri, 03 Jan 2014 07:31:14 +0800

It's not news that looks matter. Depending on how attractive people think we are, we may have at times found ourselves dateless or overwhelmed with unwanted attention.

Studies have indeed shown that people attribute more intelligence and competence to taller, well-turned-out or otherwise good-looking people. However, a new briefing paper by the Council on Contemporary Families tell us life's uneven distribution of beauty counts in an even more poignant place than we may have considered: in school evaluations of our children by teachers and peers.

In a recently releasted briefing report, "In School, Good Looks Help and Good Looks Hurt (But They Mostly Help)." sociologists Rachel Gordon and Robert Crosnoe show that in high school, some students -- say, a prom queen and king -- will be rated higher in intelligence, personality and potential for success just because they are considered good-looking.

More than that, they will actually get higher grades and be more likely to graduate from college.

In fact, the authors, whose the larger study -- published in book form by Wiley -- say that "the difference in GPA and college graduation rates between youth rated by others as attractive, versus average in looks, is similar to the differences in academic achievement between youth raised in two-parent versus single-parent families."

If the idea that kids get better grades based on "getting by on looks" frosts you, wait. This will make you nuts: Based on their findings, Gordon and Crosnoe believe that the effects of beauty (or lack thereof) may last far beyond high school graduation.

They say there is a cumulative boost (or loss) of self-esteem about one's own appearance that carries over from high school into college and perhaps over a lifetime.

And even though the authors say that beauty has its pitfalls (good-looking men and women, for example, dated more and drank more and some of this had a negative impact on their grades and college success), their conclusion is that, overall, this period of "lookism" in high school is important enough to merit the same kind of consciousness-raising discussion given to unfair racial or class stereotypes.

If looks translate into higher praise, better grades and even more credit for being warm and sensitive, as the authors found in their research, this is a real boon for the people with the lucky DNA. Each advantage a student has is likely to make that young man or woman feel more self-confident -- and self-confidence is an extraordinary tool to use in adult life.

The other side of the coin is what's concerning: There is, as many parents know, the depression and sense of worthlessness a young adult may feel when he or she is not deemed good-looking in high school. It is frightening to think this may lead to a lifetime of feeling awkward, unlovable and inferior.

We have all become more sensitive and activist about issues of adolescence we used to ignore. We now know how dangerous bullying is, how destructive depression can be and how important it is to reframe our view of people who have physical or mental disabilities.

While we can't mandate that people change their opinion about who is or is not good-looking, we could ask our kids' teachers to be aware of their own tendency to give a higher grade or greater approval to a good-looking kid than to one that is not. We could all bring attention to slang that kids use to assess or denigrate another person's looks.

Does this sound too PC? Maybe. But a little sensitivity here wouldn't be a bad thing.

Terms such as "tubby" or "skinny" or "lame" or other insult equivalents you may have heard don't need to be leveled at anyone. Young people are acutely aware when they are not the favored ones, and they know that popularity and good looks are usually paired.

Moreover, an ambitious student who is attractive might prefer to be complimented on what he or she said or did rather than for appearance. It does them no favor to allow them to think that their looks are their primary and best attribute; it could cause them to be insecure about other aspects of their personality or behavior.

Talking openly about this could make it clearer to the people in our children's day-to-day world that their casual remarks can have long-term effects. It can also take some of the sting out of not being in the running for prom king or queen. And here I would suggest that such beauty and popularity contests are a dicey idea for schools in the first place. They have an impact on the impressions and behavior of everyone in the school, even, potentially, teachers.

We spend time and energy to make sure our kids are treated fairly in life. Let's help ensure they are not discriminated against -- or given a free ride -- just because of the way they look.

People Say It's Raining Poop in Shanghai

GetMePhones — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 09:51:58 +0800

You think the weather's shitty where you live? Try the Nanhui District of Shanghai.P

According to China News, residents in Shanghai's coastal area are complaining about what they say are feces falling from the sky . Yes, it's raining poop. Apparently.P

The Chinese media is labelling this "fen bian yu" (粪便雨), or "fecal rain." Residents are blaming the airplanes that land at nearby Shanghai Pudong International Airport, but experts apparently say this isn't related to planes dumping waste.

What Happens When You Flush a Toilet on an Airplane?
Aircraft lavatories have come a long way since the early days of commercial air travel. Early flyers used slop buckets, and WWII pilots tossed… Read…
The airport says if there is a problem, it is not to blame. This is an airline issue, it added. As our colleagues at Gizmodo previously explained, airplanes use vacuum toilets that store waste, which remains in a sealed tank for the entire flight. After the plane lands, ground crowds vacuum out the waste. But maybe these are leaky planes? If so, they would leak blue waste as Anotec, a blue deodorizing liquid, has been used in airplane toilets in the past.P

China News didn't interview a fecal expert (a crapmaster, if you will) , so no matter what locals are saying, this might not even be pooh. Plus, there could be other explanations for this drizzle, such as pollution or even migrating birds. Whatever this is, getting covered in yellow droplets must stink.
