 炫富少年: One of Instagram's Richest Teens has come under fire from his online followers after posting a photo of his new iPhone 6 just days after being released from jail over a smartphone theft. Param Sharma, who is well known among social media circles for his lavish online displays 炫耀 of wealth, was sentenced to 90 days jail last month for selling a stolen iPhone online. On Saturday, Mr Sharma took to Instagram to post his first photo since his August arrest. The happy snap was of his newly purchased iPhone 6 with the caption: "Already out and the first thing I did was get me the new iPhone". In the four days since the photo was posted it has received more than 13,000 likes and almost 3000 comments from his more than 400,000 followers. After viewing the photo, a number of his followers cried foul(cry foul to say that something that has happened is unfair or illegal: The opposition parties have cried foul at the president's act, seeing it as a violation of democracy.), claiming his time in jail was merely a publicity stunt. "Lol, half a million followers, this is the biggest publicity stunt," one follower wrote. "Think about it, what's the most outrageous thing this kid could of (sic) posted the day he gets out? A phone…. Brilliant publicity stunt though!" Other followers were less kind不那么友好, probing him on whether the new phone was also stolen and if he planned to sell it online. "Sell it on CraigsList – Too soon," a follower said. Another follower wrote: "Is this what you gave the warden( The chief administrative official of a prison.) to get out of jail?" Meanwhile, some of his other followers labelled him an imposter冒牌货(One who engages in deception under an assumed name or identity.  a person who makes deceitful pretenses.), claiming he is no relation to the billionaire Sharma family. "… the imposter said he was the son of Mrs Sharma, the Indian billionaire, but the woman said he has no relation with any Parma Sharma," one follower wrote. In response to the comments, Mr Sharma set up a new Instagram account but not before writing a final post. "Look at all these haters, damn I feel good," he said. On August 18, Mr Sharma was handed the 90 day jail term for failing to make a reasonable effort to find the original owner of the phone before selling it online Craigslist. The person who eventually bought the phone informed police of the crime after a pop-up notification indicated the phone had been stolen. 加拿大政府要求Netflix合作: Online video streaming service Netflix has refused to turn over subscriber data to the Canada's broadcast regulator, a spokesman for the agency told AFP. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission had given the US company until Monday evening to disclose information including how many subscribers it has in Canada, its revenues, expenses, and its viewer numbers观众数, said CRTC spokesman Denis Carmel. The CRTC has been holding a series of hearings on the future of television regulation in Canada, after its latest report showed Canadians are watching more and more of content over the Internet. But Netflix said the commercial data was confidential and refused to give it over, despite CRTC assurances信誓旦旦的表示 it would be kept private, Carmel told AFP. Carmel said the regulatory agency took note of Netflix's refusal, but he did not give details on any possible consequences. Among French-language viewers, just seven percent have adopted the online service. Canadian telecom and television companies Rogers Communications and Shaw Media also teamed up to launch, in October, a direct competitor with Netflix, called Shomi, at nearly the same price. And Bell Canada has planned an online streaming platform, thanks to a deal giving them rights to popular shows by US cable company HBO.

 BB第一次淘汰: 'It was nothing more than schoolyard bullying': Big Brother Australia fans hit back at 反击 Gemma's humiliating eviction as she describes experience as 'confronting': Fans of Big Brother Australia have slammed Tuesday night's episode of the show and accused producers of 'bullying' after the housemates were subjected to 遭受 a humiliating face-to-face nomination and eviction ceremony. Taking to social media, angered viewers expressed their disapproval of the segment that saw only one of the contestants vote to save Gemma Kinghorn as they lined up for a public vote. The statuesque铁塔似的 6ft 6in Western Australian was left out in the cold as the remainder of the safe housemates stood behind fellow nominee Jake in the eviction branded 'shameful耻辱的', 'humiliating' and 'cruel' by fans. Accusing the reality show of sinking to schoolyard bullying, one viewer wrote on Facebook: 'That was so uncomfortable to watch last night (to say the least), I really hope you change the way people are evicted next week!. 'Publicly humiliating someone like that is not cool.' Another disgruntled fan echoed the sentiment表达了同样的心声 writing: 'Never liked Gemma but it was awful the way she was evicted. I felt sorry for her. BB you are a bully.' A third said: 'BB last night was nothing more than a school yard bully. That was sooooo humiliating for Gemma,' while another directed criticism at the show's producers saying: 'I am left wondering how many people working in production of big brother approved that! 'It was like watching classic high school bullying and I felt physically sick watching it. Poor Gemma. No one deserves that.'  Fiery redhead Gemma, who considered herself the most 'interesting' of the housemates, was reduced to tears just minutes before trudging out ( trudge [trʌdʒ] to walk somewhere with slow heavy steps. trudge through/back/up etc: He trudged through deep snow to the village.) into the garden for the public eviction. The 29-year-old was overcome with emotion抑制不住情绪 as Big Brother announced she and Jake had received the smallest share of viewer votes. Left to the deciding vote决胜票 of their fellow contestants, eight housemates took their places behind Jake with only Priya backing Gemma, saying: 'I will choose Gemma. It may not make a big difference but I want you to know I stand behind you.' In an interview with Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday, evictee Gemma herself described the experience as 'confronting'.  'It's totally highschool in there,' she said of the Big Brother house. 'I did feel bullied at times. When you're in highschool you have that schoolyard pick(When people take it in turns to choose a member of a team, it is a schoolyard pick.).' Revealing she was the victim of bullying as a child she continued: 'I was bullied so badly in highschool nobody wanted a bar of me(know from a bar of soap To know; to be acquainted with (a person).

People would fight with each other to see who got me because nobody wanted me. 'I've learnt so many lessons in my life from when I got bullied I combat it in different ways. 'I'm so proud for the way I stood up for myself and confronted the other housemates because I would never have done that in school.'

Her first impression? "I come off as a bit of a mean girl," she admitted. "[But] I hope everyone realises that I was doing that on purpose to make it interesting for everyone else."

 苹果手机会弯折: Reports of slightly bent iPhone 6 Plus devices are cropping up冒出来 on a number of Apple forums, suggesting that the items began bending after sitting in one's front pocket for a long chunk of time. The reports of bent phones were immediately met with jokes and skepticism. From a purely organic standpoint, however, the bending makes sense. First, consider that Apple uses aluminum [ˌæləˈmɪniəm] as its metal to house the new phone, which is a very soft, bendable metal. Then, consider that the iPhone 6 Plus (and the iPhone 6) is thinner than previous phones, with added surface area. If you apply pressure — even the seemingly small amount of pressure that comes from one's front pocket — and metal can bend. This isn't the first time iPhone frames have bent or warped. If you do a Google search for "iPhone bent," you can see all kinds of warped iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 frames. One user reported on MacRumors that his iPhone 6 Plus warped after carrying it in his pants pockets while attending a wedding. Now, you'd expect the back pockets of jeans to take its toll on the shape of a phone, but the user insists the phone was in the front pocket of suit pants西装裤, somewhere you'd hope your phone should be safe. It's worth noting that Apple claims to have sold more than 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus phones since they were released on Friday, meaning the handful of people complaining of bent devices isn't exactly an epidemic非常普遍的, not yet at any rate. Still, that hasn't stopped people piling in( pile in to enter a place in large numbers, especially in a way that is not organized. They opened the doors and all fifteen of us piled in.). One video blogger claims that, after reading the reports of bent iPhones, he took a look at his new iPhone 6 Plus and noticed it, too, had the beginning of little bend. So "for the sake of science" he applied force and bent his good and proper( good/right and proper I. socially and morally acceptable. There is a long-held assumption that motherhood is the right and proper path for a woman to take. II. if someone does something good and proper, they do it completely and with a lot of force. He warned me off good and proper after I kissed his girlfriend. III. completely: The table is broken good and proper. good and ready/warm etc informal completely ready/warm etc. ), as you can see in the photo above and in this video. We're all waiting for Apple to respond.  苹果发声明称手机绝对安全: While Apple has made many headlines this month for the release of its new generation of the iPhone, this week the company has caused quite a stir with its latest announcement regarding its desire to enhance the encryption that protects its smartphones. In its press release, Apple asserts that it has never collaborated with a government agency from any country to create a backdoor 后门 in its products to behove governmental surveillance( it behoves someone to do something very formal used for saying that someone should do something because it is the right thing to do. The situation is grave and it behoves us to take it seriously.). The release continues with an explanation of a controversial new quality of Apple's latest mobile operating system – personal data will be protected by a password wall that Apple claims it cannot bypass绕不过. "Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data. So it's not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction 提取 of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8." Some technologists have interpreted this announcement as a clever marketing ploy. As American consumers become more aware of governmental surveillance (especially in the aftermath of Snowden revelations), companies stand to gain much (stand to gain a lot to be likely to gain something. stand to reason 合情合理的 To make sense; to seem logical, reasonable, or rational. To be consistent with reason: It stands to reason that if we leave late, we will arrive late. If nobody asked the question yet, then it stands to reason that nobody has tried answering. stand to lose something to be likely to lose something or have it taken away. I stand to lose hundreds of dollars if I am not there on time. ) by appearing pro-consumer and pro-privacy. But some members of the government do not consider this move so innocuous 无毒无害的, 不伤害任何人的 ( not likely to offend or upset anyone. an innocuous remark/suggestion. a. not likely to harm or hurt anyone or anything. an innocuous substance found in some types of fungi. ). The Wall Street Journal reports that several officials have responded with outrage, charging that the new level of privacy will simply enable criminals. While the encryption likely will not stop high-level investigations, the greater privacy could hamper smaller scale searches. The tension is another example of the push-and-pull 拉锯战 between privacy and security. Whether or not Apple's actions will elicit future responses remains to be seen.

 Julia Gillard采访: "We'd done a pretty good job, I think, of shielding from public view 掩饰, 掩盖 some of the issues about the functioning of the government in its last few months, some of the issues about the way in which Kevin was approaching the prime ministership at that time. "I thought his reaction would be one of hurt and acute [əˈkju:t] distress(acute I. very serious or severe. an acute shortage of medical supplies. a. an acute illness is one that becomes very bad very quickly. an acute ear infection. b. used for describing pain that is very strong and sharp.

III. an acute accent is the mark ' above a letter in some languages that shows it is pronounced in a particular way.). I mean I know a lot now about what it feels like to lose the prime ministership, so I expected him to feel very, very battered and bruised遍体鳞伤的. "I also expected that emotion of relief解脱感, that he was free from the weight of it, to be a very strong one, because he had found it so difficult in those last few months. Obviously I was wrong about that." Ms Gillard outlined the tactics she undertook to quell leadership tensions, admitting if Mr Rudd had walked away from the leadership - or from politics - her own tenure would have been more secure and successful. "If you look at my prime ministership, there was this sort of cocktail 五味杂陈, 各式混杂在一起( cocktail a combination of substances, especially ones that are harmful when used together. The smoke contains a cocktail of toxic chemicals. a. a combination of things, for example emotions, especially one with an unpleasant or dangerous result. a disturbing cocktail of sex and violence.

The algorithm differs from a bubble sort in that it sorts in both directions on each pass through the list. This sorting algorithm is only marginally more difficult to implement than a bubble sort, and solves the problem of turtles in bubble sorts. ) - the internal destabilisation内部不稳定, the minority government, I think a harshness in the public critique - all of that swirled together to make it very hard political yards ( hard yards pl n. a great deal of effort or hard work, esp in playing a sport: Dallaglio's ability to make the hard yards and cross the gain line. put in the hard yards (Australian, informal) to make a great effort to achieve an end.

Etymology: It is most likely to have come from the days of sailing, when furling or unfurling the canvas from certain (perhaps higher) spars was not a welcome task; it was both dangerous and difficult.). Ms Gillard admitted she offered Mr Rudd the foreign minister's job during the election campaign, in a bid to stop him talking. "I had no choice. I had to stop the leaks( in order to stop damaging leaks that were destabilising her campaign. ) and it was you know made abundantly clear to me that the kinds of things we'd seen with the leaks to Laurie Oakes were just going to keep happening." In the extensive interview, Ms Gillard also detailed how she was taken in by rogue MP Craig Thomson, how she felt her famous misogyny speech "landed heavily", and how broadcaster Alan Jones' "died of shame" comment was "unforgiveable". And how, given the opportunity to have her time over, she would do it all again. She admits she was never a fashion plate时尚标杆(n. I. A person who consistently wears the latest fashions. II. An illustration of current styles in dress. A fashion plate 时尚插图, 插画 is an illustration (a plate) demonstrating the highlights of fashionable styles of clothing. Fashion plates are not depictions of specific people, but are instead generalized portraits, meant only to dictate the style of clothes that a tailor, dressmaker, or store could make or sell, or to show how different materials could be made up into clothes. Used figuratively, as is most often the case, the term is a reference to a person whose dress conforms to the latest fashions.), never a 'girlie girl'. But Julia Gillard was still surprised by the amount of attention her presentation装扮, 打扮 and figure身材 attracted during her prime ministership. "There were women who worked at the Prime Minister's office with me who took all of the calls, and they would constantly get calls saying, I like the jacket she's got on today, I don't like the jacket she's got on today, what on earth made her wear that necklace?" she said. "It would just be never-ending永不止休的, 无穷无尽的, 没有个消停的. There's the level of it which is just that it takes more time to get all of this right for a woman, and then there's the level of it which is more prejudicial than that - people look at how you're clothed and your demeanour and make a whole valued set of judgements." Even earlier in her career, Ms Gillard said a polished campaign photo was sometimes a liability( I. [uncountable] legal responsibility for causing damage or injury, or for paying something. liability for: The company accepts no liability for delays caused by bad weather. II. [countable] [usually plural] the amount of money that a company owes. III. [countable] someone or something that causes problems for someone. liability to: His outspoken views have made him a liability to the party.). Noted feminist author Germaine Greer even took aim in comments on the Q&A program. "You've got a big arse, Julia. Just get on with it(get on with sth to start or continue doing something, especially work: Stop talking and get on with it. I like to be left to get on with the job. I suppose I could get on with the ironing while I'm waiting. get on with something 着手处理, 着手去解决 to give your time to something and make progress with it. The sooner we finish the speeches, the sooner we can get on with the celebration. get on with the job/business/work of something: Our priority now is to get on with the job of developing a comprehensive test ban treaty. get on with doing something: The government must get on with addressing these long-standing issues. get on with someone British same as get along. get on with your life 认命吧 to stop thinking or worrying about something bad that happened in the past and start living a normal life again.)!" Greer said. But Ms Gillard said she had been exposed to enough critique on her physique身形, 体形, 身材 by that stage to take offence. "I just thought for her( think for yourself 自己决定, 独立做出决断 to consider facts and make decisions, instead of depending on someone else's judgment. It's time she learned to think for herself. ), who came into public consciousness for writing The Female Eunuch([ˈju:nək] 太监. 阉人. a man whose testicles have been removed, especially, in the past, a man whose job was guarding women in a harem.), for being the feminist of our times,  to end up talking like that for cheap laughs about another woman was really a very sad thing," she said. Ms Gillard had grown up in a working class environment, her father a Welsh miner with strong Labor views. But when she became prime minister and moved to The Lodge, she said she was almost embarrassed at all the trappings(possessions that show that someone is rich, powerful, or important. the trappings of wealth.), and having household staff. "I'd had no life experience人生经验 that prepared me for 让我准备好 having staff around you in that close, intimate sense that staff in The Lodge or Kirribilli are," she said. "Tim and I chose to (make it an extended kind of family 大家庭 circumstance), to just make it feel like we were kind of all hanging out together." In her book, Ms Gillard credits the Canberra Press Gallery with contributing to the destabilisation of her leadership, by pushing unsourced 查无实据的 quotes from backbenchers criticising her performance. "All you had to do during my time as Prime Minister, if you were a journo in search of a story, (was to) ring up someone on the backbench who you knew to be good with a colourful, zinging ( zing a lively and pleasant quality, taste, or feeling. The music just doesn't have any zing.) quote... off the record, 'Labour source says...', and then leadership story done," she said. "For some (journalists) during my period as prime minister they became activists in the leadership contest. I am very critical of that, because that's not their job as journalists." About Allan Jones' shame 言论: Ms Gillard did not comment at the time, but thanked the Australian people for an "outpouring of support" in her time of grief. Now, she says: "There's nothing I can say that would be kind about 没有好话 Mr Jones". "What on earth explains anyone getting up in front of an audience and for comedy reflecting on the loss of someone's parent? "Everybody can make slips说错话 and bad remarks. Everybody's made an error in their lives. But there was something so cruel about that. "It was a disgraceful thing, unforgiveable." "I'd be doing yoga or sometimes boxing. Good practice for a politician, a bit of boxing in the morning! "And then, depending if we were off to do TV, I'd get makeup 化妆 done professionally, so a makeup artist would come. "You'd have advisers and press secretaries, your chief of staff all trying to bark things at you, sometimes over the noise of the hairdryer. "You'd have to be concentrating on their mouths to watch their lips move to see if you could read what they were saying, and whoosh ( 呼啸而过, 呼一下子 to move very quickly somewhere, often making a sound like the wind when it blows. The train whooshed past us.) away it would go. Ms Gillard said she never felt pressure to marry long-time partner Tim Mathieson, and the party strategists had never pushed it to help in the polls. Asked if it was strange she found herself on the same side of the fence 站在了同一边上, 立场一样 on this issue as Joe Hockey and Tony Abbott, who are both devout Catholics, Ms Gillard said: "Oh well, they can't be wrong on everything, can they? Look, we're in the same place, but for an entirely different set of reasons". Ms Gillard said she genuinely enjoyed Mr Obama's company, and they spent time in jest (开玩笑 in jest old-fashioned if you say something in jest, you do not mean it seriously. I'm sure Jesse said most of this in jest. ) about their political challenges. "I mean we genuinely got on well personally and I think that photo captures it. So I'm not sure exactly why we were sort of sweeping each other up to get to the next bit, but we clearly were. "And at the end of what had been a serious discussion, I did quip(to say something funny or clever.), I'm not married. Obviously in America that would be a big thing, not married...Atheist[ˈeɪθiɪst], all the rest of it, woman, you know, and you're African American! "Try and get a grip on the burden! You've got nothing!" "I knew the speech had landed heavily – I knew that I'd really kind of pushed them into some form of submission, but I didn't have any sense of how it was going outside the chamber," she said. "Meanwhile, it's going viral... by the time I got back to the office, it was like the whole world was, people ringing, people emailing, just madness everywhere about this speech. Just a mad enthusiasm for this speech." About slush fund: She said this issue was blown out of all proportion. "Did I make some personal life errors?  Well yes, of course I did but the contemporary significance of that, the significance to my prime ministership, the fact that so much time has been spent on this just seems to me out of all proportion to what it should bear in reasonable public discourse." Rogue Labor MP Craig Thomson was accused of misdealings while with the Health Services Union, and maintained the support of the party leader despite the claims. "Whenever I talked to Mr Thomson, he would give you - look you in the eyes, straight to your face, clear denials that he'd never done this, he was innocent of it. It was a campaign from a union which was in brawling pieces and factions, and that was what was behind it," Ms Gillard said. "Not one flicker of any part of his body in any way betrayed anything except a passionate belief in his innocence. "Now obviously Mr Thomson has been in the courts and I think he's got an appeal happening, and so that's properly a matter for them. "But there are some fine judgement calls about how any political leader deals with someone who's been accused of something, particularly when they are giving very, very clear denials of the conduct." 网友评论: What's the difference between Julia Gillard and other politicians. They are all a bunch of money grabbing, self conceited自以为是的, up themselves ( up oneself Smug; arrogant; self-important and self-satisfied. I don't like her; she is really up herself. Don't be so up yourself. ) persons anyway. What happened to the good old days, not that there were many, when people of Australia came first and self indulgence自我满足 came last? Politicians should take a good look at themselves and stop the personal money grab捞钱 for little return back to the citizens. Get a grip Canberra and look outside your offices, you might get a reality check! Julia thought that Kevin Rudd would be relieved by being removed from the prime ministership. What a barefaced lie( barefaced 恬不知耻的 used for emphasizing that someone who does something bad is not ashamed or does not try to do it secretly. a barefaced lie.). If that were what she thought why didn't she ask him. People persist in saying "I dislike her because she lied about this or that" -------- Who cares? She's a politician.

Relating to the use of science and technology in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidence in a court of law.  ), and the interview failed to shed much new light on what was one of the most fascinating and unpredictable political chapters in recent memory. With three tumultuous years of political savagery ( [ˈsævɪdʒrɪ] n. an uncivilized condition. ) to investigate, Martin instead chose to pose questions such as "Why haven't you married?" and "As a republican, do you still love the royals?". So none of these questions are hard hitting ( uncompromising; tough: a hard-hitting report on urban deprivation. uncompromising 步步紧逼的, 不退让的, 不让步的 Unwilling to grant concessions or negotiate; inflexible: took an uncompromising stance during the peace talks. ) nor interesting and have pretty much been covered by other interviews. We think it would have been a much more interesting result had Ms Gillard submitted to an interview from some of TV's take-no-prisoners 不怜悯的, 不体恤的 interviewers, such as 7.30's Leigh Sales or Channel Nine's Laurie Oakes. Australians were shocked when they went to bed on June 23, 2010, with Kevin Rudd as prime minister, and woke up on June 24 with Julia Gillard as leader. As the weeks and months wore on and the Kevin Rudd problem refused to go away, Labor MPs began to open up about what a chaotic government Mr Rudd ran, and how he was vindictive ( 报复性的. 报复心强的, 睚眦必报的, 锱铢必较的 someone who is vindictive is cruel to anyone who hurts them and will not forgive them. vindictive towards: Divorced couples often become quite vindictive towards each other. a. used about people's behaviour. a vindictive attempt to punish me for forgetting her birthday. ) to his staff and prone to angry outbursts. In 2012, Bendigo Federal Labor MP Steve Gibbons went so far as to call Mr Rudd a "psychopath [ˈsaɪkəupæθ] with a giant ego". So exactly how bad was Rudd? What was the biggest temper tantrum you witnessed? Was he a psychopath? You were installed into the top job before Australian voters — and indeed most of the Canberra press gallery — had even caught wind of 听到风声 any type of leadership crisis. Many voters thought that it was unfair to unseat a first-term prime minister in such a way. And your backflip on the commitment食言 that "There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead" made many think you were not committed to keeping your promises. You lost voters trust. Did you work hard enough regain it? We know now that the government was in a chaotic state. As you described it when you won the prime ministership in 2010, it was a good government that had "lost its way迷失方向". Given what we know now, did you move against Mr Rudd too soon? Would it have been smarter to wait? If you hadn't wrested the prime ministership from Mr Rudd that night, would you still be prime minister now? "I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man… Not now, not ever." Your famous misogyny speech of October 2012 resonated 引起反响, 引起共鸣 with women around the world. But the reason it resonated is that women identified with the sentiment, free of the political context. The speech came on a day when the government was trying to cling onto the slimmest of parliamentary majorities by keeping Peter Slipper in the Speaker's chair. Wasn't the speech more about political opportunism than misogyny? Was it an unfair character assassination of Tony Abbott? You were very well liked by your parliamentary colleagues and staff, who described you as a strong, consultative 有商有量的, 不独断专行的 leader, who was warm and funny behind the scenes. But you often struggled to find favour with voters. Why didn't these qualities of yours cut through to( cut through something to make clear something that has been made difficult to understand. She cut through all the political talk and outlined what was wrong and what could be done to fix it.  ) the Australia public?
