Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford University for International Students Rhodes Scholarship Fund Masters/PhD Degree

 Deadline: varies, July-Oct Study in: UK Course starts Oct 2015 

Brief description:
The Rhodes Scholarships are postgraduate awards supporting exceptional all-round students at the University of Oxford. Established in the will of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, the Rhodes is the oldest and perhaps the most prestigious international scholarship program in the world. 

Host Institution(s): Oxford University in UK 

Fields of study: Rhodes Scholars come from many academic backgrounds and pursue a wide variety of courses at Oxford. Applicants should review the Oxford’s postgraduate degree courses to determine the degree for which they would apply. 

There are very few restrictions on the full-time post-graduate degrees supported by Rhodes Scholarships. Rhodes Scholars may only undertake the Master of Business Administration or the Master of Financial Economics in the second year of the Scholarship. Number of Scholarships: A class of 83 Scholars is selected each year 

Target group: Students from Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica and Commonwealth Caribbean, Kenya, New Zealand, Pakistan, Southern Africa (including South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, and Swaziland), United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. 

Scholarship value/inclusions: A Rhodes Scholarship covers all University and College fees, the university application fee, a personal stipend for living expenses (£13,658 per annum 2014-15), private health insurance, and economy class airfare to and from Oxford at the commencement and conclusion of the scholarship. 

Eligibility:The Rhodes Trust warmly welcomes applications from talented young women and men of diverse backgrounds. Selection of Rhodes Scholars is made without regard to gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, religion, sexual orientation, social background, or disability.

The following eligibility criteria apply to all applicants for the Rhodes Scholarships:

• Citizenship & residency: Each applicant must fulfil the citizenship and residency requirements of the Rhodes constituency for which they are applying. Please check the detailed information carefully via the country links.

• Age: Age limits vary between constituencies and range from a minimum age limit of 18 to a maximum of 28 by 1 October of the year following selection. In most constituencies, the age limit is 24 or 25. Please check carefully the specific age requirements for your constituency before applying. Successful candidates will arrive in Oxford the October following the selection process. The Scholarship may not normally be deferred.

• Education: All applicants must have achieved academic standing sufficiently advanced to assure completion of a bachelor’s degree by the October following election. Academic standing must be sufficiently high to ensure admission to the University of Oxford, which has very competitive entry requirements, and to give confidence that Rhodes Scholars will perform to a high academic standard in Oxford. Individual constituencies may specify a 1st or equivalent. Some constituencies require an undergraduate degree to have been taken within the constituency of application. Application instructions: All candidates for the Scholarship should read the information about the Scholarships applicable globally, and then proceed to their country-specific page to read the application criteria, eligibility requirements, and deadline specific to their country. Applications for Rhodes Scholarships open during the spring and summer of the preceding year. Deadline varies per country but is around July-October of the preceding year you wish to study. It is important to read the how to apply page ( http://www.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk/page/applying-for-the-rhodes-scholarship ) and visit the official website (link found below) for detailed information on how to apply for this scholarship.

How to Root Any Android Phone or Tablet without a computer|pc

Rooting android device have been so demanding nowadays.

In this tutorial, I am going to explain

• How to root any android device,
• Advantages of rooting an android device,
• Disadvantages of  rooting an android device.

Now, lets get started!

ADVANTAGES IN ROOTING YOUR ANDROID DEVICE

Running special applications-

Superuser is an app that can only be run on a rooted Android phone. This allows you to control which apps have access to the "root" system. Another popular application that "rooting" affords is the ability to tether a computer to your Android phone so that the computer can access the Internet using the phone's data connection. Another program can allow your Android to be used as a WiFi Hotspot without having to pay your provider for the feature.

Freeing up memory-

When you install an app on your phone, it is stored on the phone's memory. "Rooting" allows you to move installed applications to your SD card, thus freeing up system memory for additional files or apps.

Custom ROM's-

This is the most powerful feature of "rooted" phones. There are hundreds of custom ROM's that can do anything from speeding up the processing speed of your phone to changing the entire look and feel of your phone..

DISADVANTAGES OF ROOTING YOUR ANDROID DEVICE

There are two main disadvantages to rooting and Android phone;

Warranty-

 Rooting immediately voids your phone's.Once rooted, don't try to bring your phone back for service or warranty work. You are on your own!

Rooting involves the risk of "bricking"your phone-

In essence, a "bricked"phone is no better than carrying around a brick in your pocket. The phone is dead when it has been "bricked."

Other potential disadvantages, though less severe, are still worthy of consideration;

Poor performance-

Though the intention of "rooting" a phone is to give the phone more performance, several users have found that, in their attempts to speed up the phone or add additional features, that their phones lost both performance speed and features. Remember that when you "root" your Android phone, you are making changes to the stock operating system.

Viruses-

Yes, even phones can get viruses. A common practice that people do with"rooted"phones is to flash their ROM's with custom programs. Whenever you make changes to the code of a software, you run the risk of introducing a virus.

With the advantages and disadvantages in rooting your android device explained, it is left for you to decide.

HOW TO ROOT YOUR ANDROID DEVICE WITHOUT A COMPUTER.
