More than 100,000 new voters registered in Kentucky
A record number of people in Kentucky are signed up to vote in the Nov. 8 general election. Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced on Thursday that more than 100,000 people registered to vote since March.
It was close, but the Republican Party got more interest, with 46,328 new voters. 44,712 voters registered with the Democratic Party, and 15,380 voters chose to affiliate with another party or as "other."
In Kentucky, 3.3 million people are now registered to vote, but political experts say that doesn't mean all of them will make it to the polls.
If you bring up politics to Aaron Bugg as he rings up your order at Etcetera Coffeehouse in Paducah, he's always willing to talk.
"I think it's so crucial," Bugg said.
Just a few years ago, he had no say in what went on in government, and he wasn't registered to vote. That all changed when he left college, got a job and started reading up on the issues.
"If you go vote and stay educated on the issues, and especially in the primaries, if you pick the best candidates, you can, I think, you'll see the results," Bugg said.
The McCracken County Clerk's Office noticed more people are getting interested in voting, with 600 new voters signed up this election. Most registered online.
"You can be eating breakfast and reading the paper and see something about registering to vote, and then do it right there," Bugg said.
Murray State University Political Science Professor Dr. Drew Seib says now the focus needs to be getting those voters to the polls.
"Even though you register more people, you don't actually get more people to show up to vote. There's been very small upticks in actual voter turnout," Seib said.
"I hope it's just not the excitement of the presidential election that's made people interested. I hope they stay involved and vote in the off years," Bugg said
Bugg says he'll do his part in trying to get more people to vote.
If you're a Kentucky voter and you'll be out of town during the election, you can go into your county clerk's office and vote starting on Friday. The McCracken County Clerk's Office is stressing you can only vote early this way if you are leaving town.
Some counties choose to start walk-in absentee voting early. People have been voting in McCracken County since Sept. 30.
"We wanted to make sure we got our snowbirds the opportunity to vote, and it's so much easier if you're going to be out of town to come on in and do it than to do the mail back and forth," said McCracken County Deputy Clerk Lyne Dickey.
People who temporarily live out of town, such as college students, or can't make it to the polls because of a disability can vote by mailing in their ballot. You must apply to vote that way by Nov. 1.

I assumed I used to be the only one who often cracks open a new journal, vents all my frustrations for about three days, and by no means sees it again however it seems as if I am not alone. I've been going through a extremely laborious time as I discover myself, and the world around me altering so typically- it's hard to maintain up. I'm 19 and the modifications I seen in myself from graduating Excessive School to now has been remarkable. I really wish to remember this time as I learn something new about life and myself each day so I'm making a promise to myself that I will probably be constant in my writing.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has said, at that time we are going to now not be capable to meet our nation's obligations, and until Congress can raise the debt ceiling, which has been a fairly routine factor over the last few a long time, then we run the risk of default. And if we get right into a default, then the US dollar runs the chance of now not being the global currency, and, you know, we run the chance of plunging into a second recession and triggering type of a whole new global financial disaster.
For example, in the United States, which operates underneath a combined market health care system, some physicians might voluntarily limit their follow to secondary care by requiring patients to see a primary care provider first, or this restriction could also be imposed under the terms of the payment agreements in personal or group health insurance plans. In different instances, medical specialists might even see patients with no referral, and patients may determine whether or not self-referral is most popular.

Voltage Security and Protegrity Settle Litigation
Today Voltage Security announced that Voltage and Protegrity have reached a complete and full settlement of the ongoing litigation between the two companies.
"We are pleased to have this matter behind us," said Sathvik Krishnamurthy, CEO of Voltage Security. "Settlement was a straightforward business decision that allows us to continue moving forward with operating and growing our business without further meritless distraction on this topic."
Krishnamurthy went on to say, "Independent of the settlement, Voltage remains committed to innovation in cryptography and in the proactive management of its IP portfolio and licensing program. We are proud and committed to be working with industry standards bodies, for instance the current work we are doing with NIST around standardizing Format-Preserving Encryption via the FFX specification. We firmly believe that vendors who lay claims to innovation in cryptography must openly publish their algorithms and techniques, show wide academic peer-review that demonstrates provable security, and adopt fair and open IP licensing policies in order to gain the trust of customers, and the broader market. We have been committed to this approach from the beginning and will continue to distinguish ourselves in this manner in the future."

Julia's Disappearance is an interesting movie and as described by the synopsis, it is a comedy about aging. Something went wrong with the screening in the cinema so the movie was rebooted and that took up an extra 15 minutes or so to the overall screening. I don't mind one bit because I got to listen to the language all over again. I don't mind repetition... Of all the EUFF movies that I've watched, this is the least intense but still very good.
A Royal Affair suffered the same fate of "blacked-out screen" incidents as what happened yesterday with The Hunt because of some sexy adult scenes between Johann Struensee (Mads Mikkelsen) and Queen Caroline Mathilda (Alicia Vikander). Now, THIS one is intense. Love is indeed dangerous. Everything changes the moment you fall in love.
A story about the dramatic love affair and political aspirations of Queen Caroline Mathilda and Johann Struensee, physician to the deranged King Christian VII of Denmark. Caroline and Johann dream of a better world for the populace, and through Johann's influence on the King's governance, the power of the aristocracy is diminished and reforms introduced. But it is only a matter of time before the courtiers regain a hold on their King.
Language: Danish
A comedy about age, youth and other eternities. On her 50th birthday, of all things, Giulia has to experience first hand that old age renders you invisible. Retail therapy ostensibly helps, but then she meets a stranger with whom she prefers to spend the evening more than with her friends. They are waiting in a restaurant reflecting energetically on the increasing number of their annual growth rings. Jessica and Fatima are shopping also, though admittedly in their own special way. Meanwhile,on her 80th birthday, Léonie rebels against her daughter and old age and gleefully sabotages her own birthday party.
Language: German

A Year in the Life of Tonbridge Grammar School
Photography Project
Since September we have been working with a local photographer, Craig Prentis, to capture a Year in the Life of the School through a series of images. Craig visited the School in July 2015 to take some photographs for the school website and we were so pleased with his documentary style that we invited him to stay for the academic year! We feel that his photography is able to capture what it is like to be a member of the TGS community.
You will be able to see many of Craig's photographs both on the school website and if you visit the School. We will be mounting an exhibition of the images at the School's Founders Day in July 2016 where parents will be able to view, and even purchase, some quite unique school photographs.
Mr J Jardine-Viner
Assistant Head Teacher
About Craig Prentis
Craig has been a photographer for over twenty years—he started his career as a sports photographer for a large picture agency and now mainly photographs weddings.
"I'm always looking for personal projects to do so having a whole school year to cover should make for an interesting long term project. I will be photographing a wide variety of subjects including in the classroom, school and sporting events—whatever will make for interesting shots."

Fig 1 and fig 2 shows architecture of processor "i7 and core to quad processor" respectively. By comparing i7 processor with previous processors we can conclude that cores in old processors shares there cache memory. This causes result in un efficient utilization of resources (cache), because when one core accessing cache memory then no other processor can access cache. He must have to wait until it is released by core.
Fig 1.architecture of i7 processor
Fig 2.archtiecture of core to quad processor
In i7 processor there is an independent local L2 cache memory for each core. These cache accessed by only their cores, not by others. Also there is one shared L3 cache memory of size 8mb which is shared among all four cores of i7 processor. I just think that shared memory is critical section area that means shared memory can be used by only one core at a time, these results in decreasing system performance.
Now I have an idea to overcome this is dividing shared cache in 4 same size caches as shown in fig 3. This result in when one core accessing an shared memory then other can access other shared memory thus one core does not have to wait for other core to release shared cache.
fig3. Performance improvement of multi-core processors
Above solution may causes deadlock. So we have to force them to use only one shared memory at a time so we can avoid deadlocks. But this approach will may result in program does not fit in that much of size.

Conflicts over natural resources and the environment are among the greatest challenges in 21st century geopolitics. These conflicts present serious threats to human security at both the national and local levels. Natural resources and the environment can nonetheless serve as a vehicle for peace if managed in a sustainable and equitable manner. Environmental peacebuilding has emerged as a new frontier in interdisciplinary studies. It offers a conceptual and operational framework to understand the positive peacebuilding potential of natural resources across the conflict lifecycle while mitigating potential risks.
This 8-week massive open online course (MOOC) on Environmental Security and Sustaining Peace provides an in-depth introduction to the multiple roles that natural resources and the environment play in the onset, escalation, and resolution of, and recovery from, violent conflicts.

Together we'll discover just who it is that you should be targeting and what they're interested in. Then we'll develop a strategy to attract and engage them, and create a toolkit to help us succeed.
Through 1:1 personalised video, social selling, direct mail, guerilla tactics, account-based ads and more; supported by predictive analytics & intent data, Punch!'s pipeline accelerating ABM methodology personalises the buying journey for your customers turning prospects into advocates.
Together we'll discover just who it is that you should be targeting and what they're interested in. Then we'll develop a strategy to attract and engage them, and create a toolkit to help us succeed.
The lead generation process begins by finding out everything we need to know about your business. We'll learn about your content and social selling strategy. We'll discover what MarTech (marketing technology) you're using. We'll get to grips with your ideal client profile and implement PACT - qualification criteria that's more relevant to the modern buyer.
By finding out who exactly your best clients are and the decision makers and influencers at those companies, we'll develop your buyer personas. These are semi-fictional representations of your ideal customer, and they help us target your prospects in the right way and with the right messaging.
We'll also create your ABM toolkit, our go-to guide for everything our team need to know about your project. It details the content we'll send to your prospects, the sequences that we use to reach out to them, including email, social, video and the telephone, and the messaging that we know will interest and educate them.
Using data analysis, sales intelligence and social listening, we'll find contacts and accounts who are most likely to be starting a buying journey.
Our outbound team will target both those really big companies that will make your quarter or year, and what we call the 'bread-and-butter' accounts, good potential customers who fit your your target profile. Our in-house lead researchers use sales intelligence tools to give us more information about your prospects, allowing every approach made with personalised context.
The research team also keep us updated on any compelling events that may affect your prospects. These 'trigger events' could signal a need for your services, from a leadership change to a particularly good quarter, to the company receiving funding or being subject to a buyout. We'll leverage any current events that may indicate a potential customer is at the start of their buying journey.
Our team can also handle your inbound leads, from prospects who've downloaded your content to IP tracking of the companies who've visited your website. We'll score the leads according to the level of engagement, and when the time is right for us to speak to your prospects, we can help them along their buying journey right up to the point at which they're ready to meet you.
We'll reach out to your potential buyers with personalised, targeted messaging using the information provided by our researchers; and qualify the leads using criteria relevant to the modern buyer.
Whilst only 8% of salespeople make more than 4 attempts to reach a prospect, 80% of sales are closed between the 5th and 12th time of speaking to a prospect. With that in mind, we'll create specific outreach sequences for the way we get in touch with each of your buyer personas. Using a combination of approaches by 1:1 video, phone, voicemail, email, social and direct mail, we make sure we're persistent with a message of value to your potential customers.
By using the information given to us by our researchers and what we've discovered about your buyer personas, we lead every discussion with personalised messaging tailored to that prospect. The buying process today often comes down to the question "who do I trust to deliver what I need?" - messaging that's personalised to your prospects builds that trust.
We'll use our PACT qualification methodology to work out if they're a good fit for your business. What pain points do they have that you can help with? Do they have the authority to get their company to move? What are the consequences of them not taking action? And do they fit your target profile?
After the initial connection with your prospect, we'll really dig deep to understand their business, their needs and their challenges. The insights that we'll get from them will help us give you a properly qualified sales opportunity.
We'll use our discovery call with your prospects to really get to understand their business challenges, goals, and plans. Potential buyers know that the pushy sales pitch is a thing of the past; and so do we.
We'll keep your buyer's needs and goals at the centre of the conversation. By focusing on their plans and challenges and offering help and advice, we can create the relationship of trust that's more likely to lead to them becoming customers. Today, prospects don't want to know what products you sell, but rather, what problems you solve.
At the end of the call we'll know whether the opportunity is worth handing over to you to advise the client in person. It means that every lead and opportunity that we pass your way is sales-qualified, and has a much better chance of turning to business. No more time wasted in meetings that don't go anywhere, only bona fide sales opportunities.
When the prospect is ready to take things further, we'll pass the lead back to you. We'll arrange the meeting, facilitate the introductions and give you all the information you need to succeed.
When the prospect has reached the bottom of the sales funnel, that's when we'll hand the lead back to you to close. Whether we schedule a face-to-face meeting, a conference call, or a webex, we'll find the best way of getting you in front of your potential customers.
We'll send diary markers to all attendees, and make the necessary introductions via email. We'll also send an SMS to the prospect 24 hours prior to the meeting.
We'll send a detailed report for every opportunity that we create. You'll have full access to everything our team have discovered through the ABM process, and you'll be fully briefed on the prospect and the opportunity.

|Re: sql2xml, sybase power designer
|Thu, 19 Jun 2003 19:42:02 GMT
Hi there, The alpha version of MySQL 4.1.0 and Connector/J 3.1.0 perform flawlessly (yes, also with foreign keys) the "jdbc" function of the Torque generator. So I guess you can export your SQL schema from Sybase Power Designer to MySQL 4.1.0 and then use "jdbc" create your desired XML file for Torque. http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.1.html http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc-dev.html Nicolas Belisle Remco Gerlich <email@example.com> wrote: Our application uses a MySQL database. We design the table structure in Sybase Power Designer, export to SQL, use Torque's sql2xml task to create a Torque XML database schema, and create Java classes. This works fine, except for foreign keys. I know MySQL doesn't have them, but Torque can still emulate them, as far as I understand. But SPD's SQL output for MySQL doesn't include primary keys. So I want to export to SQL suitable for another database, change that into XML, then use Torque to use MySQL with that table structure. And now the problem: Torque sql2xml hangs if I use it with an SQL schema for other databases. MySQL's SQL is fine, but with the schema exported for another database it just hangs. Not very useful behavior :-). This is with Torque 3.0.1. Does anyone have some advice? Do I have to tell Torque which database the input sql file is for when I use sql2xml?

Chewbacca is not just a hero in the Star Wars universe, he's a lifesaver to tattoo artist Megan Massacre.
Massacre, a New York-based tattoo artist featured on the TLC series "America's Worst Tattoos," says Chewbacca is her go-to tat when she needs to cover up some really ugly ink.
"Somebody wanted to get an 'Ace Ventura' tattoo covered up," she recently said on the show. "It was surrounded by these banners with words. The words were put in really dark and I was just like, 'Oh my God! I don't even know if I can do this.'"
Massacre almost sent the customer home.
"I was like, 'Sorry dude. Not happening,'" she said.
Then she got an idea.
"I looked at him and said, 'Probably the only thing that will ever cover this tattoo is a big Chewbacca face,'" she said.
Luckily, the Force was with her.
"He was, like, 'Let's do it!'"
The Chewbacca tat did the job and Masscre was thrilled with the results.
"Now it's my go-to for covering up really hard-to-cover-up portraits," she said. "Chewbacca. It's my specialty."

The awards were held in London with over 1,000 guests in attendance and the judging panel voted for Suzuki for its clear focus on selling a range of small cars and SUVs, a memorable marketing campaign that featured Ant and Dec in their showrooms and a consistently excellent performance in the NFDA Dealer Attitude Survey. The judges also commented that on the product front Suzuki has developed a strong strategy for sales, with a focused car range. Last year was a very successful one for Suzuki, which saw registrations rise 10.8% to 38,167 cars and market share also increased to 1.4% compared to 1.3% a year earlier. The volume growth has been accompanied by a change of emphasis and a gradual move upmarket to provide value-for-money cars. Overall, the average transaction price of cars sold in 2016 rose by 11 per cent. The judging panel concluded that "Suzuki is particularly strong in the relationship they build with their retailers. They punch above their weight in marketing the brand and have delivered strong sales with a focused model range."

If we look at the latest 20 tweets or articles, majority of the artices consist of richfaces or icefaces, afaik there are other JSF libraries, so maybe you can have articles for all JSF libraries, like primefaces, openfaces, etc.
1 comment
Thanks for the suggestion. If you look at our original content, you'll see that we cover a variety of component libraries. We already have an article about OpenFaces (http://www.jsfcentral.com/articles/openfaces_1.html) and we're about publish a podcast interview with Catagay about PrimeFaces.

While nobody knows if this is exactly it seems a trader accidentally enter a "B" for billion instead of "M" for million. The result was a massive panic which resulted in an 1000 point drop in the stock market yesterday. That's $16 million, NOT $16 billion: Possible trader goof may have sparked 1,000-point Dow swing
My question is why making a trade for a billion versus a million is only only designated by one letter of which is separated only by the letter "N"? This question also goes to one of my biggest pet peeves in pretty much all technical and business writing; abbreviations and acronyms. Unless it is a universal such as Mr. or USA, don't use it, especially if it's only pertains to a specific industry.

2001 - SVT (The Swedish national Television) - Together with Helena Sandberg (whom I collaborated with throughout the year 2001), I participated in the TV-show "Go'Kväll" (Good Evening) that was produced in Sundsvall and Norrköping. In a series of TV-programs we screened remedial DIY-tasks in relation to everyday household items.
1997 - TV 4 (A Swedish commercial TV Channel) - During the fall of 1997 I worked with the editorial team behind the television show "Emmas Hus" (Emma's House). Under the leadership of the editor Yvonne Eriksson (who by the way was the one who offered me my first magazine-job) we designed a concept of Daytime Television within the field of "Home Lifestyle", eg. decoration, gardening, cooking etc.
My responsibility was to focus on the entertainment aspect resulting in a one-hour show for five days per week. This was indeed challenging, but also a very professionally rewarding project.
"Emmas kök" (Emma's kitchen) lead by the clever Chef Anders Leven was the success of the show - within that area. In the process I had a great opportunity to improve my skills in presenting the most appetizing color-contrasts on the TV-screen. The ever popular show "Köket" (The Kitchen) is a spin-off production from Emma's Kitchen
2004 - Mateus - Mateus new inspirational book that I created a part of.
2002-2004 - SEB - Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken PR material
2002 - Allt i Hemmet - In the fall of 2002 the decoration magazine Allt i Hemmet released the book KÖK focused on inspirational topics for home re-decoration, planning and re-building.
Except for the picture on the front cover Per Magnus took all the photos and I worked as the stylist behind the pictures.
2002 - Skanska - In August 2002 the Habitat exhibitionBo02 was held In Hammarby Sjöstad (Stockholm's on-going urban development project. An old dockland and industrial area is being transformed .into a modern city area.
Assigned by Skanska (one of the leading construction companies worldwide) I had the pleasure to decorate and furnish a flat of 111 square meters with a ceiling height of 6 meters.
2002 - Skanska - During the spring of 2002 Helena Sandberg and I completed the decoration of a three-floor exhibition house in Gåshaga, Lidingö. Another project assigned by SKANSKA
2001 - Skanska Nya Hem - Since the fall of 2001 I have been working with Skanska Nya Hem to present a modern style decoration concept to attract a specific target group of house-buyers.

Soak the red onion in a small bowl of ice water, 10 minutes; drain and pat dry.
Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss until the potatoes absorb most of the dressing.

IE7 php force download FIX
Normally, as an accomplished programmer, you use all the headers, follow the guidelines, include what you should…
but, when Microsoft won't play by the rules, you have to fudge…
IE7 rejects forced downloads (in this example I was using doing PDF, mp3, zip, and m4b files).
It opens the download dialog, chooses a location, and then commences to quit having downloaded 0 bits.
So, instead of the dutiful example elsewhere in this blog that chooses the correct content-type, length, transer encoding and so on…
We just do this, seems to work, forces it somehow, sorry, I've no further explanation…:
$filename = $_GET['file'];
// required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));
if( $filename == "" )
echo "<title></title>ERROR: download file NOT SPECIFIED.";
header("Cache-Control: maxage=1");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"". $filename ."\";" );
@readfile("$filename") or die("File not found.");

Last Sunday, we were so thrilled to participate in the FairPrice Walks with U 2016!
If you have not heard about it, FairPrice Walks with U is an annual non-competitive mass walk brought to us by NTUC Fairprice Co-operative Ltd. It aims to brings together families and members of the community from all walks of life and for maintaining a healthy lifestyle! At the same time, NTUC is taking the lead to show how we can give back to others, FairPrice Foundation pledged a $150 FairPrice voucher for every registered participant of this walk. This year, S$1.2 million worth of vouchers will go towards the FairPrice Food Voucher Scheme, which provides vouchers for needy families to purchase daily essentials through grassroots organisations of all 87 constituencies in Singapore!
From my understanding, the FairPrice Walk is always sold out rather quickly upon launched every year! It's because the per pax rate is only from a mere S$10/pax! And participants will receive the walking tee as well as a super generous goody bag!
|Registration fees start from S$10 only!
|The super generous goody bag is heavy and full of goodies!
So from only S$10 per pax, we get to keep the event tee and goodie bag, as well as participate in half a day's of family bonding fun, AND on top of that, money is raised and set aside by NTUC Foundation to help the needy! I can't think of any reason why the walk will not be sold out! So if you are keen, act super fast next year!
This year, the walk is held at Singapore Sports Hub. The trail started from around the national stadium and is shaded for a good 1km of the walk! Weather was also very kind! It was cloudy and not hot till after 10am!
|It's the first time we had a multi-generations walk together!
|Us at the starting point
|My mum was super amazed by the generosity of the sponsors at the event!
Almost every booth was giving out free food, drinks and even some product samples!
|Music and singing kept participants entertained during and after the walk, and while we are queuing for drinks and food!
Do look out for the event again next year and register early to join in this meaningful multi-generations walk!
NTUC Fairprice Co-operative Ltd was founded by the labour movement in 1973, with a social mission to moderate the cost of living in Singapore. From one supermarket, it has grown to become
Singapore's largest retailer serving over half a million shoppers daily, with a network of over 120

comprises a network of over 160 FairPrice Xpress and Cheers convenience stores, which serves over
100,000 customers daily. FairPrice Online caters to over 115,000 subscribers offering a hassle-free
online shopping experience. NTUC FairPrice also owns a Fresh Food Distribution Centre and a
centralised warehousing and distribution company.
Today, with its multiple retail formats serving the varied needs and interests of people from all walks
of life, NTUC FairPrice has kept pace with the changing needs of its customers while remaining
committed to its social mission and its aspiration to be Singapore's leading world-class retailer with a
Guided by the philosophy to do well in order to do good for the community, NTUC FairPrice launched FairPrice Foundation in 2008 to focus its giving efforts to provide a better life for the community. FairPrice Foundation focuses its giving on three strategic thrusts – the poor and needy, nation building and community bonding, and advancing workers' welfare. FairPrice has since donated over S$98 million to the Foundation to further these three areas of focus.

The next time that you're on eBay seeking that following awesome deal be it an engagement ring or your favourite baseball rookie cards consider a look at the number of power sellers you will discover.best paleo cookbooks This will likely really blow your thoughts and give you an thought to just how many individuals are building a lot of cash with eBay. Feel about this, just about every power vendor will have to be building a minimum of a $1000 a month. If they make $3000 a month then they are thought about a silver energy vendor. If they make a great deal more than $10,000 a month these are deemed gold. The platinum level is over $25,000 as well as leading ranking energy seller on eBay is titanium and so they make above $150,000 in sales each month. Yep, you go through that most suitable. $150,000 in income every single month. Not as well shabby for a web based auction.
One of the terrific factors about eBay is they do not care how much you weigh, everything you seem like, what religion you happen to be, exactly where you reside or who you strategy on voting for. Energy sellers come from all walks off lifestyle. Some dwell out in the middle of nowhere in which milking cows is you simply selection (that's okay, another person needs to get it done) and a few reside within the penthouse suites of New york. With eBay all people is on a degree taking part in area as well as the sky will be the limit. There's no holding the boss completely happy, no resume and no paying a fortune on gas to drive back and forth to function every day. If you're able to use a digital camera and post items then you can get it done.
No matter whether you may be selecting or marketing or simply very own jewellery, it is a priceless investment. Every single piece of jewelry has a story, one that is certainly laden with happiness, hope or adore.

CHRISTMAS will be a mixture of joy and tears for Coronation Street star Kym Marsh.
The 37-year-old's youngest child – Polly, two, is old enough to be thrilled by the magic of Santa.
But Kym has filed for divorce from her second husband, actor Jamie Lomas, Polly's dad.
And while she has reverted back to Marsh on the Corrie titles and on Twitter, when we asked her what her best Christmas present ever was she replied: "My engagement ring from Jamie. That was a fabulous Christmas."
That was back in 2009 and this year Kym will also be missing David, her oldest child from a previous relationship, from around the Christmas table.
Kym said: "Christmas is always a family time so I will be spending it with mine, but my son is in Cape Verde with his girlfriend and her family this year so we will be missing him like mad.
"He is 18 now and an amazing young man. A true gentleman.
"My daughter Emily is just 16 and a very talented singer and actress and a little diamond and Polly is so funny – a real little character and so, so cute.
"She never really knew what Christmas was in previous years as she was too young, but now she's getting excited."
Being a great mum Kym always gets spoiled, but admitted that she's a nightmare to shop for.
She laughed: "I am a bit rubbish when it comes to gifts because I never really want anything.
"I don't ever really, really desire material things that much.
"So I will be happy with anything.
"I'm easy – easy to buy for though – as I'm a girly girl. The kids always get me lovely gifts at Christmas time. They always choose them themselves and always get me something I love. Bless them."
And she won't be cooking the turkey this Christmas.
She giggled: "I have only ever done Christmas dinner once as we always get invited elsewhere.
"I can cook though, but find it stressful."
In the Christmas Day edition of Coronation Street, her character Michelle Connor is left furious with boyfriend Steve McDonald's (Simon Gregson) present.
His new college friend Andrea (played by Hayley Tamaddon, who is best known for playing Delilah Dingle in Emmerdale) arrives in Weatherfield.
Michelle is jealous of this new friendship and is furious when she finds out the present he buys her for Christmas was chosen by Andrea.
Kym said: "Me and Simon get on really well – we are great friends and have such a laugh both on and off screen, so doing the pictures was easy.
"Although I have to say I've never used mistletoe myself.
"A bit cringey, I think."
As for the storyline, Kym added: "Michelle is a little shocked and annoyed, as Steve told Michelle that Andrea was unattractive and clearly she isn't.
"It also becomes clear to Michelle that Andrea has the hots for Steve – so lots of fireworks over the Christmas period."
It's yet another twist in what's been an amazingly eventful year for Michelle.
Kym said: "Her son has left, she walked out of Underworld, fell out and then made up with Carla, found out her dad had an affair, Steve bought the pub without her knowing, she's landlady of the Rovers, Liz returned and now this Andrea stuff."
We are feeling breathless just listening to her. It's no wonder then that Kym hasn't had much chance to watch this year's The X Factor, which comes to a thrilling climax tomorrow with the final – that includes our own Nicholas McDonald.
And like millions around the country she thinks Sam Bailey will win – although she also has a soft spot for Luke Friend.
Kym said: "To be honest I haven't had time to sit and get into The X Factor this year. I've dipped in and out but I guess my faves are Luke and Sam Bailey.
"They are both awesome but Sam is probably my fave."
Born in Whiston, Merseyside, and raised in Garswood in Lancashire, Kym was one of the first wannabes who kick-started the modern addiction to music reality telly shows.
She appeared as a contestant in Popstars back in 2001, winning a place in Hear'Say and going on to have two No 1s with debut single Pure and Simple and follow-up The Way to Your Love. Kym was the focus of the group, especially after her relationship with then EastEnders actor Jack Ryder, who she later married.
Alleged feuding with Myleene Klass and Noel Sullivan saw Kym quit the band in 2002.
She went solo in 2003 with her debut Cry going to No 2 and solo album Standing Tall going to No 9 in the charts. After trying and failing to enter Eurovision in 2006, Kym moved into acting. Her debut had been the previous year in an episode of Doctors.
In 2006 she joined Corrie and hasn't looked back since. Kym said: "Popstars seems like 100 years ago now and I feel I have had a journey and a half since then.
"But I look back on it very fondly and appreciate that it's brought me to where I
am now."
And while bands like Atomic Kitten, Liberty X (the other finalists of Popstars who failed to make it into Hear'Say) and Five have reformed for ITV2's The Big Reunion show, Kym can't see her old band getting back together.
Laughing, she said: "I really can't see Hear'Say doing a reunion, to be honest.
"We are all so, so busy with our individual lives. But never say never.
"I speak to Danny (Foster) and occasionally Myleene, but that's about it.
"Still love them all, though."
And she's hoping that her daughter Emily doesn't follow her down that route of trying to make it as a singer.
She said: "Emily wants to have a career in music and I don't think I would discourage her from taking part in a reality show.
"But if she could do it without that then it's a better way forward, I think. Simply because you always carry a bit of a stigma when you come from a reality show and it can be hard to get away from it."
As for Kym, she's blissfully happy on Corrie after seven years.
She said: "I am so, so fortunate to be a part of such an amazing show.
"Corrie is, in my opinion, the best show on TV.
"It has comedy, drama, the lot.
"The cast and crew are all fantastic and I feel proud to be there.
"As for Michelle, who knows what next year holds for her? But I'm hoping she and Steve will still be together and still doing lots of comedy. Long may it continue."
With a topsy turvy year behind her, does Kym have a few New Year's resolutions up her sleeve? Apparently not.
With a twinkle, she explained: "I don't ever make New Year's resolutions because I always break them, so no point really."
Kym's laughing and that's a good enough present for anyone.
*Coronation Street's Christmas Day episode is on STV, 7.30pm

Friday, November 21, 1986
I found out I had a 15:13 appointment at Allstate in Lincoln and hurried home, as Kent had wanted to leave for NH at 16:00. We were only tying the skis on the roof at that time, and Donna P came later to drop off the condo keys and give us her turkey to take. We left about 16:40 and it got dark as we headed up I-95. Took I-495 to avoid most (but not all) Boston traffic. It snowed more the farther north we went, and sometimes the wind got gusty. At the 100-mile marker in NH, we knew Exit 32 was next. Drove through Lincoln and found the Clearbrook section of Loon Mountain Village. The condo was up on a hill, and we had to walk through 6" of snow to the front door. Things warmed up quickly as we put the lasagna in the oven and unpacked. After dinner it was almost time for bed.
Saturday, November 22, 1986
After a breakfast of scrapple and eggs with petite croissants, we shoveled the front walk. Kent found P boots and skis that fit him, and we got in the car to drive over to Loon Mountain. Found a parking spot at the foot of the bunny hill. Some guy asked if we were here for lessons. Nope! We had learned lessons would cost $15/person for two hours. We trekked up the hill and I had my own boots and skis to don. We had some used boots and kids' skis for Kyle and Erich. I tried to give them a couple pointers, but they were just anxious to head downhill! Without great success. Kyle seemed to have the basic idea, and Erich managed if coached through step by step. Kent wanted to try the rope tow, but the kids couldn't get the hang of it. Frustration levels were high, so we quit to go back to the condo for a chicken pot pie lunch.
Decided to try a couple prep activities that I do with kids with disabilities, and the boys didn't seem to have the flexibility to stand up from the ground with the skis on. We tried snowplowing down the side yard of the condo, but it was just too narrow.

Sunday, November 23, 1986After breakfast we cleaned up, then headed to the Recreation Area again. The crusty snow made learning to ski too difficult. Saw a couple boys snow/ice surfing on boards that attached to their feet. Kyle and Erich decided just to go sledding. A man was there teaching his kid to shoot a BB gun, and he said the slope and tow would open on December 6th.
We returned to the condo to snack and do the final clean-up. Packed the car and closed up the condo, making sure to turn off the hot water heater, close the flue, set the thermostat at 50 degrees, and close the blinds. Final potty break and we locked up, leaving at 13:15, ahead of schedule. Drove on clear roads, and stopped in Lawrence, MA for a late Burger King lunch. They had several dining rooms and two drive-up windows. Got home about 17:00, and took the kids to their mom's.

Imagine if you could quit your job to go on a journey across the world, visiting every continent. Imagine if you had a chance to help people along the way, impacting the lives of everyone you met along the way.
This was a reality for one man named David, traveling to 440 cities in 110 countries. He began his journey without a destination, simply allowing destiny to lead the way.
He always ended up at the right place at the right time to witness history and to capture those moments and the struggle of every citizen with the lens of his camera. He happened to be in Cairo as the people of Egypt started a revolution to reclaim their destiny. He was in Istanbul as the people of Turkey marched in Taksim Square. Ended up in Kiev, as the people of Ukraine demanded an end to a corrupt president, and marched with the people of Mexico City on October third.
He never chose his destiny. Destiny chooses him. For him, it was not just about being a photographer and capturing the moment. It was about impacting the lives of all those whom destiny put in his path, with every conversation and with every interaction. He preferred to stay in youth hostels, so that he could spend his time with backpackers and young travelers. Providing them with travel tips, guidance and financial assistance if need be.
He even began a travel contest on his Facebook page, selecting a young traveler in each country he visited to receive $10,000 so that he or she could continue their journey.
While visiting displaced Syrians at a refugee camp, he decided to invest his time for the betterment of the displaced. Nearly 60 million people around the world were displaced from their homes because of war, conflict or persecution last year, a level not seen since World War II.
It is hard to process numbers that large, and the many tragic stories behind them. So, David decided to bring his journey to a pause on January 2017, to return home to Los Angeles and publish a photobook of the images he captured so that everyone who desires to make a difference can be a part of his journey. Proceeds from this book will go to displaced people worldwide.
To promote this cause, a video was made and translated to 16 languages. To watch this video, visit: www.thedisplaced.org
He started a campaign on generosity.com called "The Displaced: Journey into the Heart" to support this cause. Your donations will help make this book a reality. Proceeds from the project will go toward refugees and displaced persons. There are currently 65.3 million displaced people worldwide.
David created this campaign with one objective: to create a defining moment where like-minded individuals who have common goals can come together in order to make a difference in other people's lives.
There is no limit to what we can achieve, if we work together. Imagine if we could help as many as possible through the sale of this book in 2017?
Let this be our New Year's resolution.

As our society seems to grow more tech-enhanced by the minute, so too are we burdened with more gadgets that represent extensions of our bodies (not to mention a host of newfangled gestures and body language). Citing water and impact as the major weaknesses of electronic devices, Luke Mastrangelo recently designed a backpack that offers protection from both, based on a distinctive form factor that follows from its polycarbonate skeleton. "What we carry, why we carry and how we carry has changed dramatically. Prism is a personal project, reflecting on this notion; seeking to answer both a digital and analog challenge."
The 1000D cordura nylon and embedded solar panels aren't breakthroughs by any means, but combined with the internal polycarbonate frame and thoughtful details, the Prism represents a nicely executed personal project, largely unconstrained by manufacturing considerations. Regarding the construction, Mastrangelo told usThe polycarbonate frame was CNC cut out of a sheet of 1/4" thick Lexan, and bent into shape on a cold-steel bender. It's entirely removable, which was a manufacturing decision to simplify the sewing process. Basically the fabric skin is stretched taught over the frame, and then zipped up around it, which keeps the whole system in tension, providing a tesseract of sorts for your laptop/tablet on the inside (think old school egg-drop style). The backpack is 100% functional, the lights, solar charger, rain-proofing, etc.
As we saw with Crumpler's laptop bag, the laptop compartment can be accessed from the side for the sake of expediency.
Moreover, inasmuch as Mastrangelo empathizes with my woes as a bicycle commuter, he made a full-scale mockup for fit testing prior to actually producing the final prototype. (The integrated LED piping is also a nice touch.)
Mastrangelo learned how to sew and embed electronics in order to produce the final product, but I'd be curious if the process is scalable, lest the Prism remain a one-off...
The ongoing quest to design the most minimal wallet ever is something of a race to the bottom: my colleague hipstomp, for one, has resorted to using a Japanese train pass holder, and we see so many Kickstarter projects that (for better or for worse) we have to pass on...

Here we go again: with this September's release of the iPhone 5, third parties have yet another excuse to revisit the iPhone case.
