Windows 7
Windows 7 is comparable to Windows XP in speed. Vista is light years behind of Windows 7 in terms of speed. That is what I have written many articles about too in some other sites. Windows 7 is one of the first Windows OS that works faster than the previous version (Vista) with same amount of memory. Microsoft seems to have stopped the trend of newer versions of Windows needing more hardware requirements.
In some cases, I would say Windows 7 is faster than even XP especially in startup and shutdown etc. from my personal experience. But go for 32 bit as mentioned earlier.
Also keep the UAC activated and go for MSE as the security suite as that is very light and would perfectly fine for your 2 GB RAM. And its free too. Dont keep too many programs open at the same time and your 2GB RAM would work like a charm in Windows 7.

Unless you're going to be using your computer for banking or anything else that is mildly dangerous, I'd argue you don't need any anti-virus so long as you regularly install all available Windows updates.

I personally use Avast 5.0.594. I haven't had any problems since I started running Avast which I started using when I built a Windows Home Server a few years ago and Avast was the only vendor offering an AV solution for it at that time.
Definitely do NOT recommend that you not run AV despite statements by "hungrytoheal" to the contrary. Its a crap shoot if you do and why take the chance when there are good AV solutions for free.

I'd recommend ESET NOD32, as it's a fairly lightweight application. It has some of the most advanced definitions and it should run nicely on your system. Here's a list I compiled earlier.

Right now the most lightweight effective free AV is MS Security Essentials which works perfectly with Win7 firewall.
But Avast 5 is a close second, if they didn't bug you about registering and announce every time they update.
MSE installs in 30 seconds, updates, runs a quick scan and then becomes invisible forever unless there's a threat.

Hear, hear Gregrocker,
M$ have hit the jackpot with this one, you don't need to clutter up your system with anti-spyware or ad blockers, MSE DOES IT ALL.
Put your wallets away, its as good as any paid for bloated applications

Windows 7 x64 Professional
In my personal opinion I would go with Windows 7 to be quite honest. I have tried Vista and I just absolutely disliked it. Considering the fact when I got Vista, Microsoft announced Windows 7 to be released soon. I was pretty cheesed off about that one. Plus the gaming department for Vista was a horrid department for me. Nothing ever worked really. I like the visuals of Windows 7 better as well, I mean Vista was alright but 7 just made Vista better. And I am not sure if Windows 7 has the same issue with RAM as Vista did, I just know trying to run Vista on 1 gig of RAM did not cut it at all. Most terrible experience was that.

|My System Specs
|10 May 2014
Normally they shouldn't cause issues at all seen as most of us at Seven Forums use them together.
Do you have the free trial of malwarebytes activated? That's been known to cause problems. If you do install it again you have to make sure you don't activate the trial.
The trial makes malwarebytes a real time protection which can conflict with other ones like MSE.

Over time, these deposits can block the arteries and cause problems throughout the body.
If you want to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke, then you need to make sure to keep your artery walls completely clean. The less plaque build-up you have, the better.
While taking statins can help lower your overall cholesterol levels, they usually come with many dangerous side effects.
The following is an effective natural remedy that you can take to keep your arteries healthy.
- One cup lemon juice
- One cup organic apple cider vinegar
- One cup garlic
- One cup grated ginger
- One or two cups raw, organic honey (optional)
Simmer all ingredients, except apple cider vinegar on low heat temperature for half an hour. Remove the mixture from the heat and strain it. Let it cool down a bit. Once cooled down, add the honey and the apple cider vinegar and stir. Pour the mixture into a jar or glass container and keep it in a fridge.
How to use it:
Warm a glass of water, and add two tablespoons of the mixture. Drink it every morning on an empty stomach.

If it isn't followed by a registered encryption name the decryption will return the original string. So you can encrypt anything that doesn't start with a registered encription name. - trying to decrypt something that doesn't start with a registered encryption name will return the original input. - currently the response to exceptions is to return null.... I don't think this is very appropriate but I'm not sure what is better. Suggestions? - I think the proposed behavior of making EncryptionManager.encrypt and decrypt idempotent is a good idea as it significantly simplifies all the callers. Some documentation of what is intended would definitely be a good idea.

text: Wearing the right clothes is important not only to make yourself look good but because the right clothes serve as our protection from heat and cold. Our body needs to be protected from extreme heat and cold and without the proper sets of clothes our body will be prone to common diseases such as colds and flu. You should invest in different kinds of clothes so that you can have the right clothes in every weather condition and in every kind of season. Pick clothes that are made from the right materials such as cotton which are best suited for the summer season. You also have to make sure that your clothes fit you perfectly. Ill fitted clothes can cause other problems and they may cause discomfort. You also have to be prepared for extreme weather conditions. If it gets too cold, be ready to wear layers of clothes to protect your body form the cold. Plus Size Sweaters can also be worn if the weather gets too cold. What is important to remember is that we should always be aware in the changes in the weather condition so that we can wear the right clothes that can protect our body.

Morgan Stanley adviser Michael Warr's team already boasts impressive stats: 20 members and $1.1 billion in assets.
But the Alabama-based group's leaders, three advisers in their 30s and 40s, say they've got plenty of room to grow.
"I think the next mark might be $3 billion," says adviser Scott McClanahan, 36.
Warr, McClanahan and fellow team member Alistair Harding-Smith, 40, say specialization has been a key ingredient in the group's success.
"The common mistakes of growth have been not allowing experts to help out with a business. For instance, your typical adviser is trying to do the investment side, he's trying to meet the clients, trying to get new clients. We try to adhere to a strict client service model to not only be efficient but effective in the client meetings that you are having," Warr, 43, says.
QuoteClients increasingly want to know they're "in the hands of experts who can handle the complexities in that world," says Morgan Stanley adviser Alistair Harding-Smith.
The team's origins stretch back about a decade. Warr, a graduate of the University of Alabama, started his career at Merrill Lynch in 1999. He served as a manager at the wirehouse, and early in his career had an opportunity to visit other branches. Warr observed that some of the best performing teams had advisers focusing on particular specializations, he says.
He later partnered with McClanahan, a fellow graduate of the University of Alabama and who had joined Merrill in 2003 after a stint playing baseball in the minor leagues. Harding-Smith, a native Londoner, joined the team after having worked at Barclays as a portfolio manager. He met his wife, who is from Tuscaloosa, in the U.K.
The group, which joined Morgan Stanley in 2008, has added two senior advisers who had been solo practitioners as well as several junior members; the youngest team member is 30, and the oldest is 71.
But Harding-Smith emphasizes that it's not the number of team members, but how they are deployed that counts most.
"Each relationship manager has a specialist area for each client, because it's important that the client know that you are working with me," he says. "Michael is working with households with $5 million and up. Then we have people on the team who are working with the children of those families who are maybe just starting out. That's something that you can't do if you say, hey we're a team that only deals with clients with $5 million or more."
Harding-Smith says that as the business and investing environment becomes more complex – he points to the fiduciary rule as an example – clients increasingly want to know they're "in the hands of experts who can handle the complexities in that world."
There are two CFPs and two CFAs on the team, which now operates out of several locations, including Montgomery and Birmingham.
Warr, who also serves as a branch manager at Morgan Stanley, says they try to keep their client base within a reasonable driving distance, but adds that new digital tools are making it easier to work remotely with clients and enable them to scale their practice in new ways.
"So where Alistair would have to get into a car and drive to Mobile or Huntsville or wherever, now we hope the technology is getting to the point where it can be done via Skype or whatever," he says.
McClanahan adds that the team's approach as well as their chemistry still opens new horizons.
"Years ago, we'd go into a meeting and [clients] would say this is a hard decision because everyone sounds the same. Now we go into a meeting and people say this is a lot easier decision because you sound different than everyone else," he says.

Four Instructors, 15 Classes, 5 Milongas, and More!
TangoHelena's yearly festival has returned to bring world-class tango instructors and an unforgettable weekend of dancing in Montana's Queen City April 6 - 8. Scroll down to read more about the instructors.
The festival schedule is available for downloading. Check out the fantastic list of classes. There's something for every skill level! Online ticket sales STOP after Thursday March 5th. PLEASE preregister BEFORE FRIDAY by going to "Pay For Events".
Gustavo Benzecry y María Olivera
from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Gustavo started dancing in the late '90s, studying from milongueros and stage performers. In 2003 he met María and they started teaching together at the famous Salón Canning, in Buenos Aires.
Their teaching method is both precise and gradual. Because of this, they're among the most popular teachers. They regularly teach workshops in their home town and in international festival and events. Their kindness and good sense of humor make the learning very effective for the students. Gustavo is patient and reflective, María brings dynamism and clarity in the concepts.
Rebecca Shulman
from New York City, NY
Rebecca Shulman has been dancing tango full-time for over 20 years and is regarded by the international community as an expert with an encyclopedic knowledge of the dance and a gift for conveying it to her students. She started to study tango in NYC in 1991 from Daniel Trenner, with whom she began to perform and to visit Buenos Aires. Rebecca's teachers in Buenos Aires, from 1992-1996, include Juan Bruno, Mingo and Esther Pugliese, Gustavo Naveira and Olga Besio, Tete Rusconi and Maria Villalobos, Antonio Todaro, Pupy Castello, and Graciela Gonzalez.
Beyond her supernatural tango-memory that is finely tuned to the subtleties of this dance, Rebecca has the one quality that every tango dancer wants more than anything: a lot of people love dancing with her! She has taught at big tango festivals around the world. More than a dozen of New York's current tango teachers are Rebecca's former students. Students everywhere seek Rebecca's clear instruction on improvisation, technique, adornments, and musicality. For more info go to her website.
Christy Coté
from San Francisco, CA

The Children's Hospital, located at 13123 East 16th Avenue in Aurora, Colorado, offers Therapeutic Recreation/Child Life Internships. The internship program aims to provide undergraduate and graduate students with the chance to learn all aspects of pediatric setting so as to prepare them for employment and certification.
The Children's Hospital internship program is good for 560 hours, being offered twice a year – fall and spring. For the next 12 weeks after a week of orientation, students focus on patient care, divided into three rotations. Throughout the program, students are supervised by a certified specialist. The internship culminates with a "wrap-up week."
Interns will be assigned at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD), serving both inpatients and outpatients, and at the General Medical/Clinical Translational Research Center, providing care for patients from infancy to adulthood.
The Therapeutic Recreation/Child Life Department utilizes recreation and play as the main mode of treatment to advance or maintain the developmental skills of patients, as well as restore or promote their emotional well-being. It supports the commitment of the hospital to quality care by promoting a holistic, child-centered method to treatment.
The department's vision is to offer equitable services recognizing the individuality of families and patients. Working as a group, it capitalizes on its strength to develop skills and cultivate mastery through cost effective, high-tech interventions. It aims to promote wellness as an essential part of medical excellence to attain quality results in the pediatric healthcare's dynamic environment.
One of the goals of the TR/CL Department is to use play and recreation to help patients develop, maintain and enhance their social/emotional, cognitive, physical, leisure and communication functioning. It provides patients and families with various resources and services that will help them achieve patient outcomes.
TR/CL students take advantage of several amenities at the hospital, which include free parking, communal office space including access to computer and email, employee discounts at the cafeteria, concierge services, pager and free education opportunities. Interns also enjoy access to the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Medical Library, Family Resource Center and The Children's Hospital Medical Library.
As professionals who are responsible for the training and advancement of candidates into the fields of TR/CL, the department selects those who are committed and motivated to the profession. Having classes in family relations, child/human development, psychology, hospitalized/handicapped child and cultural diversity are particularly useful. The management also gives preference to those who have experience working with kids in a healthcare setting.

Risk of Collision
Delta Air Lines Lockheed L1011 N740DA and
British Airways Boeing 747 G-AWNH
North Atlantic
08 March 1995
British Airways flight 92 X-ray (BAW92X), a Boeing 747, was flying eastbound to London, England, along North Atlantic Track (NAT) Bravo at flight level 330 (FL330). At 1926 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the flight crew of BAW92X reported over St. Anthony, Newfoundland, with an estimate of 1950 UTC for the geographic fix of 53·00'N latitude, 50·00'W longitude (50 West); then, as instructed, they left the Gander Area Control Centre (ACC) frequency.
Delta Air Lines flight 49 (DAL49), a Lockheed L1011, was flying westbound on NAT Bravo to Cincinnati, Ohio, also at FL330. At 1936 UTC, DAL49 passed by 50 West. The flight crew contacted the Gander ACC at 1942 UTC, at which time they requested and received a clearance to climb to FL350. At approximately 1944 UTC, 225 nautical miles northeast of Gander, DAL49 passed about 1,800 feet above and one mile south of BAW92X, where the required separation was 2,000 feet vertically. There were no injuries to crew or passengers.
The Board determined that the controllers involved in this occurrence did not detect the traffic conflict between DAL49 and BAW92X prior to the risk of collision. Contributing to this occurrence were the controllers' loss of situational awareness created by complacency and a lack of vigilance during a period of low-traffic activity.

1.0 Factual Information
1.1 History of the Flight
At 1926 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) <1>, British Airways flight 92 X-ray (BAW92X)<2>, a Boeing 747, passed over St. Anthony, Newfoundland (NFLD), flying at flight level 330 (FL330) eastbound to London, England, along North Atlantic Track (NAT) Bravo. The flight crew called Gander Area Control Centre (ACC) with their position report and gave an estimate of 1950 for the geographic fix 53·00'N latitude, 50·00'W longitude (50 West). Gander ACC acknowledged the estimate and, at 1926:35, instructed the flight crew to change to another frequency.
Delta Air Lines flight 49 (DAL49), a Lockheed L1011, passed over 50 West at 1936, flying westbound at FL330 along NAT Bravo to Cincinnati, Ohio. At 1942, the flight crew of DAL49 contacted Gander ACC for the first time. The flight crew requested and received a clearance to climb to FL350.
As DAL49's first officer entered the new altitude into the aircraft's vertical navigation computer, he observed conflicting opposite-direction traffic at 30 miles on the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). The crew expedited the climb in order to avoid the conflicting traffic.
DAL49 passed about 1,800 feet above and one mile south of BAW92X, where the required separation was 2,000 feet vertically. The two aircraft had been closing at a combined speed of 980 knots, and at 30 miles were less than two minutes apart. The occurrence took place at 52·25'N, 52·40'W at approximately 1944, during daylight hours. (See Appendix A.)

1.6 Aircraft Information
Not pertinent.
1.7 Meteorological Information
Both aircraft were operating under instrument flight rules (IFR) in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) at the time of the occurrence. The crew of DAL49 had visual contact with BAW92X as it passed below their aircraft.
1.8 Aids to Navigation
There were no reported discrepancies with the navigational aids being used by the aircraft involved in this occurrence. In addition, there were no reported discrepancies with the equipment being used by the Gander ACC controllers.
1.9 Communications
Communications between the Gander ACC and the aircraft were reported to be normal before, during, and after the occurrence.
1.10 North Atlantic Tracks
Air traffic control over the North Atlantic Ocean is handled primarily from Gander, Newfoundland, and Prestwick, Scotland. Primary responsibility for the planning function of the eastbound flow, which predominates at night between 2300 and 0500 UTC, rests with Gander, and for the westbound flow, which predominates during the daytime between 1000 and 2100 UTC, with Prestwick.
In order to regulate the flow during peak traffic periods, discrete tracks and altitudes are instituted. Conflict detection on these tracks over the ocean, east of 50· west longitude, up to 52· north latitude, is provided by the Gander automated air traffic system (GAATS). By using GAATS, the planner is alerted to any conflict with other oceanic traffic when an aircraft's flight plan is entered into the computer. Conflict detection in domestic airspace is the responsibility of the controller and is achieved by utilizing radar, flight progress strips, and pilot position reports.
This risk of collision took place in a small area of domestic airspace where there is no radar coverage; the controller must rely on information from the flight progress strips to provide separation.
It is possible for as many as 400 aircraft to transit the Gander Domestic airspace during the peak four hours of eastbound or westbound flow. During the changeover periods from day to night tracks, traffic volume and controller workload is considerably reduced. This daily change in traffic volume is generally consistent and is anticipated by the controllers.
1.11 Flight Progress Strips
The most basic form of controlling air traffic consists of monitoring a flight data board displaying flight progress strips, a paper strip for each aircraft's flight data. This data is updated manually by the controller from position reports received from aircraft. Flight progress strips are arranged in bays under fix designators corresponding to the geographic location of a navigational fix. A flight progress strip depicting an aircraft's route of flight and altitude is placed under the fix designator that will best indicate the geographic position of the aircraft so that potential traffic conflicts can be more easily recognized and accurately assessed.
In Gander ACC, flight progress strips for westbound aircraft are printed in red ink, while strips for eastbound aircraft are printed in black ink. For some time prior to the occurrence, there were only two aircraft flight progress strips under the St. Anthony fix designator. One strip was for the westbound DAL49 at FL330 and the other was for the eastbound BAW92X, also at FL330.
The ATC Manual of Operations (MANOPS), Appendix 2, explains flight progress strip marking for IFR operations. Section 1.1.8 describes the controller's on-going scan of the control data board as follows:
Scan the control data board by performing the following actions:
- scan each bay individually rather than looking over the entire board;
- in each bay, check altitude boxes to verify vertical separation;
- if more than one aircraft is at the same altitude, check strips to ensure some other form of IFR separation exists;
- follow individual flights through the sector, checking for conflicting, converging or crossing track situations, consistency in altitude and estimate data, and for correct posting.
1.12 Traffic Conflict Detection
There were four opportunities for different controllers in Gander ACC to detect the traffic conflict developing between DAL49 and BAW92X.
Procedures, standards, guidelines, and checklists are available for the controllers to ensure the safe separation of aircraft. The separation standard that should have applied in this case was 2,000 feet vertically between the two aircraft. Staffing in the Gander ACC during the occurrence met unit standards.
1.12.1 Oceanic Planner Controller
The first opportunity to detect the conflict occurred when the oceanic planner initially received the requested altitude, FL330, for BAW92X. He coordinated this altitude with Prestwick centre and entered the information into GAATS. GAATS did not show a conflict between BAW92X and DAL49 because DAL49's estimated time of arrival (ETA) for 50 West was earlier than BAW92X's ETA for 50 West. The planner did not check with the Gander oceanic controller to determine if FL330 was okay for BAW92X because he saw that the oceanic controller was busy with a trainee. The planner checked the ocean data board himself and, although the data showed a conflict with DAL49 already at FL330, he did not detect the conflict. He returned to his position and the flight progress strip for BAW92X was produced at 1901.
1.12.2 High-Level Domestic Controller
A second opportunity to detect the conflict occurred when the Gander high-level domestic controller received the flight progress strip in black ink for BAW92X about 1845 and put it on the control data board under the St. Anthony fix designator along with the flight progress strip in red ink for DAL49. He did not detect the conflict during his routine scan of the control data board prior to being relieved at the sector.
1.12.3 High-Level Domestic Controller Instructor and Trainee
The third opportunity to detect the conflict occurred when the high-level domestic radar controller was relieved by a high-level domestic on-the-job instructor (OJI) and his trainee about 1915. The relieving controllers followed the standard Gander ACC procedure of first standing behind the position to observe the traffic. Next the relieving controllers were briefed, and a data board check was performed by the controller at the position. The briefing is designed to follow a written checklist and includes altitude reservations, separation problems to be resolved, conflicts, and immediate control actions. The relieving controller then sits at the sector position while the controller being relieved stands behind the position and observes until the relieving controller is acclimatized to the sector.
Controllers regard the sector briefing as common sense, and they report that the written checklists disappear from the control positions within a matter of days or weeks. In this case, the relieving controllers reported that they did observe the sector and get a briefing, and that the relieved controller did stand behind them for some time. The traffic conflict between BAW92X and DAL49, the only two data strips under the St. Anthony fix designator, was not detected at this time. The controllers reported that the sector briefing pointed out that most of the traffic was over the tracks in the southern airspace of the Gander area. The sector's radar was displaying mostly traffic on the tracks in the southern, rather than northern, part of the airspace.
The OJI reported that the trainee sat in at the high-level domestic position after receiving the briefing, and the OJI observed the trainee do a data board check; the OJI also did a scan of the data board. Prior to the occurrence, the trainee was responsible for five or six aircraft at any one time that were transiting through his sector. This traffic volume was assessed as light to moderate. Review of the sector's audio tape recording for the 30 minutes prior to the occurrence indicated nine aircraft on the frequency and a period of almost seven minutes with no radio transmissions just prior to the occurrence.
At 1926, BAW92X contacted the Gander ACC trainee with a position report over St. Anthony. The trainee had already marked BAW92X's data strip when he accepted the handoff from west radar and, nine minutes later, he wrote the aircraft's progress report on the flight data strip. The aircraft reported maintaining FL330 and the trainee told the pilot to contact Gander Radio in 100 miles. The trainee did not detect the conflict on the two strips under the St. Anthony fix designator, the red one for DAL49 and the black one for BAW92X, both marked at the same altitude.
At 1942, DAL49 contacted the Gander ACC trainee and reported at FL330, with an estimate for St. Anthony of 2019. The trainee issued the aircraft a domestic clearance and asked the pilot of DAL49 what altitude they were requesting. At that point the controllers realized that both DAL49 and BAW92X were at FL330, on the same track and possibly in conflict. After confirming that DAL49 was at FL330, the trainee cleared the aircraft up to FL350. The clearance to DAL49 did not include an instruction to expedite the climb or any traffic advisory about the position of BAW92X.
1.12.4 Oceanic Controller
The fourth opportunity to detect the conflict occurred when an oceanic controller took over the ocean sector from the first oceanic controller and his trainee at about 1905. When the relieving controller did his data board check, he did not notice that the flight data strips for DAL49 and BAW92X indicated that the aircraft were at the same altitude, travelling in opposite directions, on the same track.
About 1915, a second strip for BAW92X was produced with a speed change and no change to the routing. The oceanic controller received this new strip and compared it with the BAW92X strip already on the board. Once again, he did not detect the conflict with DAL49. The oceanic controller also did not detect the traffic conflict during his routine scan of the data board.
1.13 Controller Situational Awareness
Studies have shown that controllers form a mental picture of air traffic that assists with the conceptualization and prediction of aircraft movement. Information used to develop this picture comes from radar displays, aircraft position reports, and the data from flight progress strips. Maintenance of the picture is essential for controller situational awareness and effective air traffic control.
David Hopkin, in his book Situational Awareness in Complex Systems (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Press, 1994), makes the following observations about situational awareness in air traffic control:
Situational awareness will be subject to the formation of habits, may be resistant to new evidence that appears to contradict what is already known, may be biased in the choice of what is relevant to it, and may be influenced, and perhaps overly influenced by memories which once recalled, may be treated as more relevant than they are.
All the major proposed forms of computer assistance for air traffic controllers in performing their tasks, and all the intended forms of automation in air traffic control that are envisaged to have some consequences for the controller, must affect situational awareness. The reason is that all aids require new learning of some kind and situational awareness is a function of learning. The expressed anxieties about some of the consequences for situational awareness of increased air traffic control automation, such as an increased propensity for the controller to lose the picture or reduced controller understanding of the picture, seem to have some justification.
1.14 Controller Vigilance
In 1990, the Canadian Aviation Safety Board (CASB), as a result of a special investigation into air traffic control services, stated that inattention or lack of vigilance appears to be contributory in approximately 50 per cent of all air traffic services (ATS) occurrences, and that these types of errors often happen during periods of light, non-complex traffic. Complacency and boredom were considered to contribute to the frequency of attention-related occurrences.
2.0 Analysis
2.1 General
Sixty minutes had elapsed between the time the oceanic planner determined that FL330 was an appropriate altitude for BAW92X and the time of the occurrence. There were four opportunities for individual controllers to detect the conflict and correct it. Normally, aircraft separation, conflict detection, and conflict correction take place routinely, regardless of the traffic volume.
2.2 Traffic Volume
During the late afternoon, the traffic activity that normally follows the daily westbound flow is at its lowest. Changeover in the main-flow direction will take place over the next few hours and the controller evening shift changes are also taking place. Controllers arrive at their positions anticipating few traffic problems, knowing that the main traffic volume will occur later in the evening. Relieving controllers anticipate that the controllers being relieved will have already resolved any potential traffic conflicts or will point out unresolved traffic conflicts for their immediate attention.
Considering the conditions that normally exist, the first few hours of the evening shift are the least demanding of the shift. This established routine can engender a complacent attitude, causing a lack of vigilance and leading to a loss of controller situational awareness.
2.3 Traffic Conflict Detection
2.3.1 Oceanic Planner
If the oceanic planner had completed an adequate check of the ocean board, he might have detected the presence of DAL49 already over the ocean at FL330. In that case, he would not have planned BAW92X at the same altitude. Rather than checking the ocean data board himself, a more appropriate action for the oceanic planner might have been to interrupt the ocean controller and his trainee, or wait for an opportune moment, and discuss the altitude for BAW92X with him. The ocean controller, being more familiar with the traffic in his sector, might have been able to detect the conflict more easily than the planner.
2.3.2 High-Level Domestic Controller
When the high-level domestic controller received the flight data strip for BAW92X and placed it with the strip for DAL49 on the data board, he did not notice that both aircraft were at the same altitude. He did not detect the traffic conflict during the period that both strips were on his sector's data board. Given that the two differently coloured strips were the only two under the St. Anthony fix designator, it is likely that the high-level domestic controller's routine data board scan was ineffective.
2.3.3 High-Level Domestic OJI and Trainee
Although the controllers reported that a briefing was completed when the OJI and his trainee relieved the first high-level controller, the briefing did not include any information about the conflict between DAL49 and BAW92X. The data board checks performed by both the OJI and the trainee were ineffective, as neither detected the conflict at that time.
The trainee controller's mental picture of the air traffic and his situational awareness were inadequate. This is highlighted by his action of twice marking flight progress information on BAW92X's black data strip and failing to detect the traffic conflict, even though DAL49's red strip was the only other strip under the St. Anthony fix designator.
The section of domestic airspace where the occurrence took place does not have radar coverage. Even if radar coverage were available in this area, though, it is unlikely that the controllers would have detected the conflict, because the radar was centred to display the traffic on the tracks in the southern part of the airspace.
When the controllers detected the traffic conflict, they cleared DAL49 to climb without instructing the pilot to expedite, and they did not give a traffic advisory about BAW92X's position. It is possible that the actual air traffic picture deviated so greatly from the mental picture they had already developed that they did not give the most appropriate instructions to DAL49.
2.3.4 Oceanic Controller
If the controller who relieved the oceanic sector prior to the occurrence had done an adequate data board check, he would have detected the traffic conflict. When the oceanic controller received the second data strip for BAW92X with the speed change, he saw that it was not a routing change, assumed that the route was already free of traffic conflict, and did not check it against the other strips on the ocean data board. The oceanic controller did not detect the conflict during his routine scan of the ocean data board either.
2.4 Controller Situational Awareness
It is likely that the failure of the involved controllers to maintain their situational awareness was due to the development of a complacent attitude during a period of low traffic activity. Contributing to this complacent attitude was a reliance on automated systems, such as GAATS, and other controllers to detect potential traffic conflicts. This complacent attitude led to a lack of vigilance and less compliance with established procedures and checklists. When a traffic conflict does develop during a period of low traffic activity, as occurred on this occasion, it is less likely to be detected than it would be during a period of peak traffic activity.
Adherence to established procedures and the use of written checklists by the controllers would likely have resulted in earlier detection and resolution of the conflict, and would have reduced the risk of collision.
2.5 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System
The crew of DAL49 decided to expedite the climb to FL350 after the first officer observed conflicting opposite-direction traffic at 30 miles on the TCAS. This decision was based solely on the TCAS information and resulted in the two aircraft achieving 1,800 feet vertical separation when they passed. Without an ATC instruction to expedite the climb and without the information provided by TCAS, the crew of DAL49 probably would have performed a slower en route climb, resulting in less vertical separation with BAW92X when they passed.
3.0 Conclusions
3.1 Findings
- All the controllers involved in this occurrence were qualified and current at their positions.
- All equipment available to the controllers was serviceable and being used.
- Staffing in the Gander Area Control Centre met unit standards.
- The traffic volume was assessed as light to moderate with normal complexity.
- The oceanic planner did not detect a traffic conflict with DAL49 when he planned the altitude for BAW92X.
- The first high-level domestic controller occupying the sector did not detect the traffic conflict between the two aircraft.
- The OJI and high-level domestic radar trainee who relieved the sector did not detect the traffic conflict between the two aircraft.
- The oceanic controller who occupied the ocean sector during the time prior to the occurrence did not detect the traffic conflict.
- When the risk of collision was detected, DAL49 was not instructed to expedite the climb to FL350, and no traffic information was passed.
- The crew of DAL49 decided to expedite their climb based on TCAS information about opposite direction traffic.
- DAL49 passed about 1,800 feet above and one mile south of BAW92X.
- Established procedures and written checklists for flight data board scans and sector briefings were not effectively followed.
3.2 Causes
The controllers involved in this occurrence did not detect the traffic conflict between DAL49 and BAW92X prior to the risk of collision. Contributing to this occurrence were the controllers' loss of situational awareness created by complacency and a lack of vigilance during a period of low traffic activity.
4.0 Safety Action
4.1 Action Taken
4.1.1 Transport Canada
Previous TSB investigations have shown that controller inattention, lack of vigilance, or loss of situational awareness are major factors in loss of separation occurrences. Therefore, subsequent to a risk of collision between two A320 Airbus aircraft in December 1993 (A93C0208), the Board recommended that:
The Department of Transport sponsor research into methods for maintaining reliable controller vigilance in an increasingly automated ATC work environment.
(A94-28, issued December 1994)
In response, Transport Canada (TC) indicated that research would be conducted on the most effective communication, focusing, and distraction-control techniques for air traffic controllers, and relevant training programs would be implemented. Additionally, TC has started research into other areas that affect controller vigilance and into programs designed to optimize controller health and performance.
To address the issue of controller situational awareness in the short term, the Board recommended that:
The Department of Transport provide training for Canadian controllers similar to crew resource management (CRM) training for pilots.
(A94-29, issued December 1994)
In response, TC indicated its intention to develop a decision making course for controllers (similar to the pilot decision making (PDM) courses) which would include a discussion of the various factors that affect situational awareness.
This report concludes the Transportation Safety Board's investigation into this occurrence. Consequently, the Board, consisting of Chairperson John W. Stants, and members Zita Brunet and Maurice Harquail, authorized the release of this report on 03 January

Three artists competed for the instant save and two were sent home on the Top 10 live results episode of "The Voice" on Tuesday night. Leading into next week's semi-finals it was Team Adam Levine that took a massive hit as two of his three artists, Mark Isaiah and Lilli Passero, were eliminated. They were joined by Team Alicia Keys singer Vanessa Ferguson in the bottom three, and she defeated both to win the instant save. Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were able to relax and enjoy the performances because all of their remaining artists advanced this time.
Country superstar and reigning CMA New Artist of the Year, Maren Morris, kicked off the night's festivities with a performance of her new single, "I Could Use a Love Song." The somber tune led into the first results of the evening with host Carson Daly bringing the Top 10 artists to the stage. Team Blake's Aliyah Moulden and Team Alicia's Chris Blue were the first two competitors ushered into safety.
After a brief break and a chat with the coaches, the remaining eight contestants returned to the stage to learn their fate. Team Blake's Lauren Duski and Team Gwen's Hunter Plake were the next to advance, securing their places in next week's showdown. Both Lauren and Hunter charted in the top 10 on iTunes after their Monday night performances, so it was no surprise they were voted through to the semi-finals.
With six artists still on edge, Carson quickly saved two more from elimination. Team Adam's Jesse Larson and Team Gwen's Brennley Brown both breathed a sigh of relief after being called forward. With four contestants remaining, only one could breeze into next week while the other three would be left to battle it out for the instant save. In true reality show form, they were left to anguish over their fate while pop-star Charlie Puth came out to perform his new single "Attention."
Following the energetic performance from Puth, Team Blake's TSoul claimed his spot in the semi-finals. Mark was left to compete for the instant save for the third week in a row. He was joined by his teammate Lilli and Vanessa, who were both in danger of going home for the first time.
Lilli was up first and performed a jazzy, sultry version of "Stormy Weather." She responded well to the pressure, delivering a solid vocal that garnered positive audience reaction. Up next was Mark, who stuck with his formula in choosing the modern pop hit, "Sorry." He seemed a bit strained and there were moments that were so off-key it was uncomfortable to watch. Vanessa was last to perform and she went with the up-tempo classic "For Once in My Life." Easily the most upbeat, charismatic performance of the three, she worked the stage as if to celebrate her time on the series. The energy paid off as Vanessa took the final spot in the semi-finals by earning roughly 47 percent of the votes to 32 percent for Lilli and just 21 percent for Mark.
The Top 8 artists will take the stage on Monday, May 15, before being cut in half the following evening during the live results show. Then the Top 4 will compete in the finals on May 22 before the Season 12 champion is crowned on Tuesday, May 23.

Making Room for Peace
Each woman who comes to Abby's House has experienced some sort of trauma or crisis that forces her to reach out for help. The following letter is from one of the many women who walked through our doors, ready to accept the help, support and encouragement she needed to start turning her life around.
Dear Alcohol,
I am ending things with you. Our relationship is over. You have done nothing but cause me grief, promise me false hope, and get in the way of a brighter tomorrow. In your place I have met real friends. Solid humans with big hearts who provide the love and support that you could never bring me. You know nothing about true friendship.
That dreadful night is just one evening in a sea of nightmares that led me swimming ashore in search of a safe haven. The enchanted and beloved Abby's House has replaced you forever. And for that I am grateful.
It has been just over a year since your ultimate betrayal. Since the night that I flirted with you
on my lips and inhaled your poison into my system. Things became heated that evening and unidentified bruises presented themselves. Not only visible ones, but internal scarring, as well. The night I fled from a damaging situation, fled from harms way, I left behind another person who had also danced with you that evening. With you running through my blood, I made it home safely only to be joined by the red and blue lights that met me as I parked. The other human intoxicated with you called the cops on me. "Guilty as charged!" I exclaimed, surrendering a final time to the misery you brought me. And so my journey began.
The emptiness that followed that particular night with you seemed bottomless. I was left stripped of my pride and my dignity and was left confused and lost. I walked through the next month blindly. I looked towards my immediate family to provide me with the light that was necessary to do what I had to do, including quitting my job (which I enjoyed), surrendering my privilege to drive, and going to court. Yuck. Dealing with legal issues has been life changing at best. And although the legal list of 'things to do' seems to be never ending, there is no mistake of a silver lining that has presented itself as I continue on in my life without you.
Along with paying thousands of dollars, going away for two weeks, and continued therapy for a year, I was court ordered to do 100 hours of community service. Abby's House was recommended by my cherished roommate, and thus my life has blossomed. You have been replaced. Since the moment I walked through the doors of Abby's, I have felt a welcoming warmth engulf my existence. The staff have been my guardian angels from the first opportunity I was given to speak with them. They were attentive to my story and understanding and compassionate, going above and beyond the help I required. My 100 hours of community service has turned into a lifetime friendship. Not only have staff allowed me to return to my hearts desire; to be there and provide help to others, but they have given
me help as well a two way street.
Now that you have been removed from my
life, there is room for positivity. The rewards for staying at the women's shelter are immense. Being able to have the opportunity to listen to courageous women has helped me to move forward with confidence as well. Also, an immense contribution to my recovery has been Abby's house Thrift Shop. I have found a home away from home among the smiling volunteers who help at this shop. This is largely due to
the mentoring I received from Jodi Salerno.
A wonderful women with a huge heart has taught me so much, not only about my love affair with artistic endeavors, but about how I want to conduct my life. Jodi, who will do anything for anyone, has encouraged me to speak up.
When I was friends with alcohol, I was quiet.
I let a toxin lead the way and didn't have much voice. Being around such a remarkable person has given me the opportunity to be heard.
The encouragement and faith I have received
is a gift I am forever grateful for.
I am happy to have alcohol out of my life forever and all of my friends at Abby's House
to support me instead. I know that my
friendships will only grow and be nourishing now that I spend my time more productively.
Thank you Abby's!

Lose Abdominal Fat and Improve Health
A Weight Management Program You Can Live With
This is one of many I found online I was thinking of using for my weight management marketing.
Studies have shown that abdominal fat increases health risks. Sensible eating and physical activity is a key to stay healthy and reduce morbility. We can really save ourselves if we can just walk away from the crime scene!

5 Ways to Improve Industrial Conversion Rates
We've previously discussed ways to get traffic to your website that are effective, but if those visitors don't convert or take a meaningful action, what's the point? Here are five proven strategies for getting your site visitors to take the action you intend, including examples of worthwhile goals that will improve your conversion rates.
Conversions for Industrials
For e-commerce sites, the ultimate conversion is a sale. Most B2B manufacturing and industrial service companies are left wondering what a conversion means on their websites, since their products or services cannot be sold like "off the shelf" products on Amazon. Industrial companies can still define conversion goals that apply to their business.
- Making a phone call – This is probably the leading goal of any B2B manufacturing or industrial service site. When you sell an engineered product or customized service, a phone call gives you the chance to directly interact with customers and prospects, answer questions, take information for an RFQ, and sometimes even make a sale. However, not every visitor to your site is ready to make a phone call. Conversion tip: Make all phone numbers and icons on your website visible on every page and clickable, i.e. when someone visits from a mobile device, they can call you with a simple touch.
- Filling out a form – Industrial businesses often have to place RFQ's before purchasing. Making an emailed RFQ form available allows your prospect to get a quote on exactly what they want delivered directly to their inbox without the hassle of placing a phone call. Conversion tip: Do as few required fields as possible so your potential customer doesn't feel their privacy is being invaded in exchange for a quote.
- Subscribing to a newsletter – Those who subscribe to a newsletter or request blog updates are more or less saying that they aren't ready to be a customer yet; but are open to it down the line. Asking to receive your newsletter or blog updates is their way of inviting you to market yourself to them until they've made a decision. Conversion tip: Don't send out newsletters too often, especially if you are repeating information or don't have relevant content. This is a sure fire way to get your recipients to unsubscribe. Blogs can be posted more frequently; but make sure you are providing quality content. Keep sales pitches to a minimum.
- Watching a video – If you have a product or service that is superior to your competitors' and you have a video highlighting this, it's a good idea to promote the video and encourage visitors to watch it. This allows them to see your technology in action for themselves without investing the time to sit through a presentation, and without feeling any pressure. Conversion tip: Be sure to include a call to action at the end of the video, such as any of the above. You can also require that the visitor fill out a brief form prior to downloading the video (another conversion).
- Making a sale – If you sell items directly on your website via ecommerce, making a sale will of course be a high priority goal. Visitors who come to your site through organic search already have some interest in your product, so be sure and have all relevant information regarding the product readily available. Think about the buying cycle and the types of information prospects need at each point in their journey. Conversion tip: Test your ecommerce platform on a regular basis to be sure the navigation is as efficient as possible and the platform is easy to use. If not, your visitors may be frustrated enough to click back to a competitor's site.
Other Tips for Improving Industrial Conversion Rates
- Tell visitors to your site exactly what they can expect. Visitors to your site should instantly know who you are, what you do, and the unique value you provide customers. Make sure every page of your site has a title and meta description that closely matches the content on the page. When visitors click on a search result and land on a page that doesn't fit the description they just read, they are much more likely to instantly click back (bounce) to their original search results.
- Utilize phone call tracking. For those of you whose ultimate idea of conversion is a phone call, a call tracking system is a must. These are third party tools that in effect measure conversions from phone calls that originated from your website, by way of organic search, pay per click, social media, and even offline marketing campaigns. These tools allow you to view the phone number for every person who called in your business by way of the website or other means, the name of the caller or their company, the keyword phrase that brought them to your site, and most offer the ability to record the calls.
- Offer a Guarantee. No matter what type of conversion you are looking for, let your customer know in no uncertain terms that you are a legitimate business and will not abuse their trust in you. This includes guaranteeing that you will not share their phone number, email, or other contact information with anyone else, ever. If you accept payment over the web, reassure your customers that you use an advanced encryption system and will protect their data. You can also include information on your refund policy as well as text that says something like "we are proud to stand behind all of our products and will refund the full amount if you are not 100% satisfied."
- Use positive testimonials. If one of your previous customers were satisfied enough to leave a positive review via social media, an industry publication, or any other way, don't be shy about sharing it right before a call to action. You can even include a link to the original quote (that opens in a new window) should your potential customer be skeptical.
- Provide a chat option. A combination of phone and email, some people actually prefer to chat with a representative rather than place a call or send an email. Having the option to do so on every page lets your potential customers take the next step with no risk to themselves. (Be sure and let them know chat is available only during business hours if this is the case.)
- Offer an incentive to first time buyers. Everyone likes to think they got a "deal" or something for free. Offer first time callers or buyers a discount on their first order, free shipping, an extended warranty, or free installation assistance. This type of incentive can move a prospect from "very interested" to "sold".

@happyjack Good detective work. Now if you can only figure out if Maddie is a girl or a guy. Hope, Maddie is a girl because I find myself attracted to (hopefully) her ass! +

Yes, you heard it right. Captain Jack Sparrow (a.k.a Yusuf Reis) in the famous film sequence "Pirates of the Caribbean," is based on a real Muslim pirate!
His genuine name was Jack Ward and he was otherwise called "Jack Birdy". He was conceived in the United Kingdom and grew up on the docks. Ward became a british naval officer and then a corsair supported by the Crown of England. After being betrayed by the same crown, he became a dreadful pirate He fled with his crew after he converted to Islam in the late 16th century.
History says he absconded to Tunisia where he fixated on little birds amid his time there, and local people would call him Jack Asfour. In Arabic asfour stands for sparrow, and that is the rationale behind the name "Jack Sparrow."
After the renunciation of his former religion and conversion to Islam, he changed his name to Yusuf Reis. He later married Jessimina the Sicilian who was also a newly convert.
Jack Birdy was known as a big boozer, however he quit drinking when he changed over to Islam. He assumed an essential part in safeguarding many Spanish Jews and Muslims escaping the Moriscos and Conversos removal from their properties during the 16th and 17th centuries.
Even though Captain Birdy or Yusuf Reis had a few Hollywood movies based on fiction would be astounding if somebody somehow happened to bring his genuine, real life story to the wide-screen!
