Troubleshoot external storage detection on Xbox One
This article describes Xbox One system requirements for external storage devices and what to do if your console can't detect a connected external drive.
Important Make sure you don't have any important information stored on your hard drive before setting it up with your Xbox One. The Xbox One will reformat your drive.
For an external storage drive to save games and apps from Xbox One, it must meet the following requirements:
- It uses a USB 3.0 connection. If you're using a USB hub, the hub must also be USB 3.0 or later.
- It has 128 GB or larger storage capacity.
- It has a partition. Typically, drives come with a preformatted partition. For more information about partitioning an external hard drive, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
- No more than three storage devices are connected to the console at the same time.
Devices that don't meet these requirements will be treated as media storage, such as for music or video. For more info, see How to manage storage on Xbox One.
How to detect your external storage
To check whether your console detects your storage device:
- Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
- Select System > Settings > System > Storage.
- If you see your storage device listed, your console has detected it.
If your console doesn't detect an external storage drive
Solution 1: Make sure you've installed any recent updates to Xbox One
It's possible that there were recent updates to Xbox One and that you need to manually update your system for it to detect your external storage. To update:
- Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > System > Updates & downloads.
- If you see Update available, there's an update you need to install.
- After you're done installing the update, go back to Settings and select System > Storage. See if your device appears in the list.
If your storage device still doesn't appear, or if there were no pending updates, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Adjust the power management for storage if you're in instant-on mode
Check your power settings. If you're in instant-on mode:
- Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
- Select System > Settings > General > Power mode & startup.
- Confirm that your Power mode is set to Instant-on.
- Unselect the option When Xbox is off, turn off storage.
- Restart your Xbox, and then go to Settings and select System > Storage and see if your device now appears in the list.
Solution 3: Other things to try
If your Xbox One still isn't detecting your external storage device:
- Remove and then reconnect the storage device.
- Connect the device to a different USB port on the console.
- Power cycle your console:
- Press the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds.
- Turn on the console again, and then see if it detects the external drive.

William Whalen, the founder of Chem-Dry by Whalen Services, began his experience in carpet care as an installation technician. In his time of installation services, he noticed many of the carpets were being replaced far before they should need to be due to the harmful effects of other cleaning processes. On the recommendation of a family member, his attention was drawn to the products and services of the Chem-Dry franchise system. Seeking to provide cleaning services to his installation customers, and improve the longevity of the products he installed, Mr. Whalen purchased his first Chem-Dry Franchise. Since 1985, Chem-Dry by Whalen Services has been providing superior carpet, upholstery, and area rug cleaning to residential and commercial properties on Cape Cod, MA.
Chem-Dry is the world's leader in carpet and upholstery cleaning technologies.

The top 5 benefits of learning a second language from birth
The benefits of teaching your child a foreign language from an early age are numerous and well-documented. In fact, hearing a second language from birth can mean it is spoken with greater fluency in later life, as you are able to pick up subtle nuances which can be imperceptible to the ear in later childhood and adult life.
As an adult, learning a language can be a difficult and laborious task, so we often fear that introducing a language too early can cause children confusion. In fact, the opposite is true. Due to their brain plasticity, babies are uniquely able to learn multiple languages at once with great ease – without confusion or delays to the learning of their native language.
During this amazing but short window of time, babies and young children are uniquely equipped to learn multiple languages – more than at any other point in their lives!
But are there broader advantages to learning a second language in early life?
In short, yes! The benefits to cerebral development & cognition are numerous and wide-ranging. But, to give a brief idea, here's a rundown of the top 5 reasons to start learning a second language as young as possible.
1. Higher IQ in later life.
Studies have shown that babies raised in a bilingual environment become bored more easily when repeatedly shown the same image, but by contrast demonstrate a greater interest in new stimuli. These traits are known to be found in individuals with higher IQs at pre-school age and beyond. This is thought to be due to the more complex cognitive processes that bilingual children's brains process compared to those who speak just one language.
2. Greater performance in tests.
Children who learn a second language from an early age have also been shown to outperform their peers in standardised testing at school age. Bilingual children demonstrate greater skills in areas such as Maths, Spelling and Reading comprehension. This is due to them having developed a better 'working memory' – the cognitive system that holds and processes large chunks of information. It is thought that switching between languages means a bilingual child's brain has to develop better 'working memory' at an earlier age than their monolingual peers.
3. Greater levels of concentration
Children in bilingual households are also able to focus better and pay closer attention to tasks. These are the brain's 'Executive Functions' and children who speak more than just one language engage them earlier in order to be able to differentiate the many complex differences between their native and second language. Due to this 'code-switching' their brain's 'Executive Functions' are much more highly developed, leading to greater ability to filter out irrelevant information to the task in hand. The result being greater overall focus and concentration.
4. Slower brain ageing in later life
Research shows that speaking a second language can slow the brain's ageing process and even delay the onset of Alzheimer's and Dementia. A recent study carried out by Edinburgh University found that switching between a native and second language and the different sounds, words and grammatical structures necessary when engaging in bilingual speech, served as a form of natural brain training. Thomas Bak, of Edinburgh University's school of philosophy, psychology and language sciences commented: "These findings suggest that bilingualism might have a stronger influence on dementia than any currently available drugs.1 "
5.Greater problem solving and creative thinking
It seems that children who speak more than one language are also better at problem solving, conflict resolution and creative thinking. In a recent study in Scotland and Sardinia of bilingual and monolingual children, researchers observed that the bilingual participants were "significantly more successful in the tasks set for them".
Dr Fraser Lauchlan who led the study says "Bilingualism is now largely seen as being beneficial to children." "Our study has found that it can have demonstrable benefits, not only in language but in arithmetic, problem solving and enabling children to think creatively."
A further conclusion from this study was that bilingual children have greater understanding of words within their lexicon. Dr Fraser comments that "there was a marked difference in the level of detail and richness in description from the bilingual pupils.2"
These are just some of the reasons why teaching your child another language from birth can give them an even greater start in life. Listening to songs, watching TV or films and reading books with them in another language are just some of the ways to get started. Of course, the easiest and best way would be to take them to your nearest multilingual baby class!

In 2011, Siemens introduced the Aquaris: a higher high quality digital hearing help which can be completely immersed in water while swimming or participating in other water sports. If you have a boat with a motor, you will want the correct water sports accessories to get pleasure from your days out on the water. If you are like most boat owners, a list of your boats components and accessories would go on for pages. Skimming across the surface of the water behind a speed boat is an exhilarating encounter, and we've got the gear to aid with your want for speed. You can take advantage of island fishing with no the hassle or the additional expense of acquiring your own gear whilst locating a new cause to adore the sea. Wind surfing was pioneered in 1948 and makes use of the wind for propulsion rather than the water – combining sailing with surfing the waves in the water. From utilised kayaks, canoes and fishing boats to utilized water skis, surf boards and scuba diving gear, our on the internet estate sales must be your 1st stop.
Tow-in surfing was pioneered in the 1990s with personal watercraft and is type of surfing that requires the surfer out further into the water to catch more quickly moving waves rather than paddling out by hand. Whether or not you are planning on a leisurely paddle about a placid lake or a full-throttle adventure on Class V rapids, never head out till you've geared up with all the water sport equipment you need. From auto roof racks to securing straps, you can rest your thoughts knowing you can head out on the water rapidly and effectively. It could be disastrous to be caught out on the water with no the correct accessories and equipment.
White water rafting is 1 big adrenaline rush from begin to finish and it is an great activity that absolutely everyone must have a go at some point in their lives. Once you take care of the important security accessories for your boat, it's time to start off searching for the enjoyable and frivolous accessories. A lot of argue that kite surfing is the most intense water sport with out an engine, and it is effortless to see why. On , we have leading brands in the market from Shoreline Marine and Drymate to Seattle Sports and Carlisle Paddle Gear From life jackets to canoe paddles and oars, you'll find all the correct gear for your adventures on lakes, streams, rivers and oceans. He waits for extremely smooth water (what we contact glass"), waits till the boat gets up to 38 or 39 mph, kicks off the ski and keeps going.
Australia is an additional continent that gives the organic waves and numerous areas renown for surfing and water sports. We provide an awesome range of Snowboarding equipment and apparel from some of the business top brands and for all ages and abilities. There are loads of intense sports and activities and this lens details a little selection of the most popular ones. Water sports, even so, are changing and much more and a lot more of us are receiving the swimming pool and seeing what is enjoyable. Choosing your boat's accessories will be determined by the type of boat and the objective that you will be using it for. I've been water skiing for far more than 20 years, and I've never ever noticed anyone attempt this.
You'll need to have the exact same gear for single skiing as for skiing on doubles, but the choice of a single ski is much more essential than with doubles. Simply because of the seasonality of water sports, not all retailers carry this gear so be certain to get in touch with your local shop for a lot more particulars. The purpose I say that is so that you can make a sound selection on the equipment you want to acquire and you are not just getting due to the fact you see it.

Spoiler Alert: there are no baked goods in this post. But I can't help myself! If you're in Boston during fall and wondering how to spend an afternoon, Mt. Auburn is one of the prettiest and peaceful places to take a walk.
Basically, this is a cemetery that is also a walking park. Founded in 1831 by a Horticultural society, there is no part of Mt. Auburn that isn't packed with beautiful, old trees. In the autumn? Forget about it! There's not nice place to oggle fall leaves, trust me.
And don't be creeped out by the idea of walking through a graveyard. These are beautiful stones from long ago, when people wrote very sentimental things for their loved ones. It is more like a walk through history than creepy.
The only drawback for a bakery babe? You cannot, repeat, CANNOT take a picnic. And there is no cafe at hand to sit and eat goodies whilst gazing out at the park. However, about 5 minutes down Mt. Auburn St. by car or bus you will find Darwin's, one of my favorite sandwich and goody shops. My favorite afternoon involves a walk at Mt. Auburn and then ordering the Mt. Auburn sandwich at Darwin's, followed up by one of their cupcakes.
Curious? Check out the park's website: www.mountauburn.org

Lamar Odom has completed a month-long stint in rehab and appears to be in great spirits.
In December, Odom checked himself into a 30-day rehab program near San Diego. E! News learned about his stint days after papers to finalize his andKhloe Kardashian's divorce were filed and more than a year after he experienced a near-fatal overdose.
Prior to entering rehab, Odom had taped an episode of The Doctors, in which he talked to Dr. Travis Stork, an ER physician, about his overdose for the first time and was asked about substance abuse. Odom continues to work with him, a source told E! News Thursday.
Odom left the treatment facility Thursday after completing the 30-day program, which included both individual and group therapy, according to a statement from The Doctors. A photo of him smiling and raising his fist in the air was released.

Talking about grids...
A few days ago I presented Mary B. Anderson's grid for analysing work on conflict. Another favourite four-square box is by the late anthropologist Mary Douglas and political scientist Aaron Wildavsky. It visualises Grid and Group Cultural Theory, which I find highly relevant to social development. I first came across this model in Douglas's polemic "Traditional culture - let's hear no more about it", delivered at a World Bank Symposium on "Poverty and Culture" (2002). Douglas rejects the idea of culture as a form of collective thinking which, in its "traditional culture" incarnation, is assumed to hamper development and rational economic behaviour. She points out that thinking is an individual act.
She distinguishes four universal types of culture on the basis of two factors: "group", on the horizontal axis, stands for the extent to which people's lives are controlled by the group they live in, and "grid", on the vertical axis, is a measure of structure. In A History of Grid and Group Culture, Douglas explains: "At the extreme top right, strong on grid, strong on group, will be a society in which all roles are ascribed, all behaviour governed by positional rule, all the constituent groups contained within a comprehensive larger group." The society at the bottom right corner is also strongly bounded, but much less structured - a place for dissidents, e.g. religious sects. The top left "has strong grid controls, without any group membership to sustain individuals. Prisoners might be located here, or slaves and any strictly supervised servants, soldiers, or the very poor, or the Queen of England, hedged around as she is by protocol". Arguably, development is about supporting people to get out of that grid - well, maybe not for the Queen. Then again...

Hello friends and fans. I am asking a favor here. Some of you may know that my wife Ara had Lupus which she bore like the warrior she was. Almost two years ago she lost her long fought battle against pancreatic cancer. In honor of Ara, our daughter Katrina has started a foundation to promote awareness in the community regarding both of these diseases and to provide support to patients and caregivers. The first awareness event is already scheduled we just need your help to make it happen. I know there are many worthy causes, but if you can find it in your heart and wallet to make even a small donation — $10, $25 it would be greatly appreciated. Larger donations are certainly welcome too. Consider helping by sharing this campaign on your Facebook page to spread the word. I am so proud of my daughter for starting this project that will continue to spread Ara's Love in such a special way. Thank you. -GPJR

RIFf RAFF W/ SHANE THERIOT - Episode 3 featuring George Porter Jr. (The Meters)
My guest is Mr. George Porter Jr. George - best known for being the bassist for the "architects of funk" - The Meters, the funkiest band to ever come out of New Orleans and, for that matter, anywhere. His bass lines get under your skin and won't let go. Along with Zigaboo Modeliste on drums, Art Neville on keys and Leo Nocentelli on guitar, The Meters invented a type of funk that has been widely copied (and sampled) for many years now.
In the interview I ask George about his influences, what he looks for in a drummer, trivial questions on various Meters folklore, why Paul McCartney said George was his favorite bass player, Allen Toussaint sessions, the proper way to play "Cissy Strut", unison guitar/bass lines,etc…OH…and we play a lot of stuff together. Hope you enjoy.
Recorded at the Parlor Studio, New Orleans, LA - Feb 2016.

The duo reunited with other 'Daily Show' alums on Tuesday's 'Late Show'
Throughout the course of late night television history, there have been several notable feuds between the major show's hosts. But when it comes to friendships, there has arguably only been one that is truly legendary: the bromance between Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
It all began when Stewart took over The Daily Show — where Colbert had been working as a correspondent since 1997 — from Craig Kilborn in 1999. During a 2015 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Colbert spoke about the instant chemistry he felt with Stewart on the first day they met.
"The first time I met Jon Stewart was at the press conference that Comedy Central held to announce Jon would be the new host of The Daily Show, which back then was not called The Daily Show with Jon Stewart…So, I heard that there was going to be a press conference that day announcing that Jon was going to be the host, and I said, 'Well, wouldn't The Daily Show cover something like this?' So I left the offices and went over to Comedy Central, and I stood up and said, 'Stephen Colbert, The Daily Show. In what way does this announcement affect my chances of becoming host of The Daily Show?' Jon Stewart turned to the president of the network and said, 'You told me he wasn't funny.'"
From then on — as they blossomed into two of the most influential TV personalities of their time — the bond between them was unmistakable.
See a comprehensive guide to their epic — and adorable — friendship below.
The Daily Show:
After Stewart joined Colbert on The Daily Show, the pair spent six years together satirizing the news as host and correspondent, respectively. Their banter was often some of the show's most memorable work, with Colbert later revealing that he reveled in making Stewart break.
"My favorite memories of Jon are making him laugh," he told EW. "There is no greater joy in the world than to sit at the desk next to him and though he knew the material already and was part of the team that wrote what you were about to say, you are cracking him up. I'm sure he did funny things too, but all I cared about was being funny for him."
The Colbert Report:
Colbert left The Daily Show in the fall of 2005 to strike out on his own as host of The Colbert Report, turning the conservative pundit personality he had cultivated with the help of Stewart into a full-time gig. But their antics didn't stop there. With back-to-back time slots, Stewart was able to frequently devote the final moments of Daily to hilariously tossing the ball to Colbert.
Trading cameos:
The pair also made numerous appearances as guests on each other's programs throughout the years, with two particular standouts coming in the form of sketches centered around Stewart explaining Hanukkah and Colbert transferring his infamous Super PAC.
Of course, no cameo was more iconic than Colbert's return to The Daily Show for Stewart's final episode, during which he went off-script to thank Stewart for everything he had done for him.
The Emmys:
Several times throughout their dual Comedy Central careers, Stewart and Colbert were asked to present at the Emmys, allowing their brilliant rapport to shine on television's biggest night of the year.
However, their best awards show moment came in 2012, when they enlisted Jimmy Fallon to join in a bit that involved the losers in their shared category — Outstanding Variety Series — attempting to keep the winner from accepting his award.
Charitable comedy:
If you somehow weren't already enamored by this golden duo, they became even more difficult to resist when they started using their talents to raise money for charity. The pair has definitely not been shy about making people laugh for a good cause, performing at events such Comedy Central's Night of Too Many Stars telethon, filming viral gold to promote an Omaze campaign for the Star Wars: Force for Change initiative, and even organizing their own Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.
The Late Show:
Ever since Colbert was handed the reigns of the Late Show from David Letterman in 2015, Stewart has played an integral part in raising the show's political commentary to new heights. From dressing up as Donald Trump to hiding out with Colbert's longtime alter-ego to taking over during the live Republican National Convention broadcast, Stewart has continuously lent a helping hand to his friend.

Each year, EA Sports makes an effort to wow fans of FIFA with improvements upon its lucrative annualized title. The last few years saw some significant improvements with the introduction of the Frostbite engine, an all new cinematic story mode, and a strong focus on the billion-dollar earning Ultimate Team mode. With the game arriving around the end of September each year, it can be a struggle to maintain the formula that brought the series such success, while introducing innovation that will keep gamers picking up the latest version of the game year after year.
To that end, we've taken a look at some areas of focus we believe would most benefit FIFA 18, detailing how EA Sports could implement the features in a way that would both resonate with existing fans of the series, and perhaps entice new ones as well. Without further ado, here's 5 improvements we hope to see addressed in FIFA 18:
5 Make The Journey Feel More Organic
Last year's inaugural appearance of The Journey was a great breath of fresh air for the franchise, but it certainly didn't reach as far it had the potential to. Alex Hunter's rags-to-riches story followed a fairly static plotline, and the conversational options given to him seemed to make no significant impact beyond a fairly meaningless social media following. Beyond this, no matter how players performed, their time in The Journey was an entirely on-the-rails experience: players could bag in 5 goals a game, but they'd still be loaned out to a Championship side because that's what the story required, even if such a move would make absolutely no sense.
Improvements such as a dynamic storyline or perhaps even the ability to create your own pro to put in The Journey would both be great steps for the franchise to take. With the introduction of a now-proven storyline mode, EA has built a great platform to build from. Fans will be expecting FIFA 18 to deliver an improvement upon last year's foray into this game mode, and we can only hope how well players perform will have a bigger impact on each individual Journey, and not just take gamers along for the a routine on-the-rails experience. Helping to craft a feeling of individuality will make this experience much more special to players, resulting in a bigger emotional connection to The Journey - and a thirst for more of it.
4 Improve The Goalkeepers
One of the main things EA Sports boasted about in FIFA 2015 was improved goalkeeper AI, but as any fan of the series can probably attest, there's still a long way to go. FIFA 17 seems to have spurred some aggressive AI changes to goalkeepers, and they seem to have collectively gathered a penchant for rushing out far distances to attempt to slide into strikers. Not every goalkeeper can function as a Neuer-esque sweeper keeper, and the resulting blunders that occur can really leave fans scratching their heads about what they just witnessed on-screen. In tandem with other questionable AI choices, there's evidently some leg work in regards to goalkeeper AI that still needs to be done.
Another significant improvement would be to go beyond automatic AI functions themselves. Rival football games like Sports Interactive's Football Manager series has skill statistics like 'tendency to punch' and 'rushing out', which results in different goalkeepers reacting to the same situation in wildly different ways. This sense of individuality makes goalkeepers feel unique, adding a nice touch of depth to a franchise where most players just look for the goalkeeper with a higher overall FIFA rating.
3 More Diverse Commentary
As soon as any player makes it through half a season of career mode, they've probably already heard a fair amount of canned phrases being repeated. The FIFA series boasts the most teams and players out of any EA Sports franchise, so adding more unique commentary isn't exactly an easy fix, as the studio must rush each year to implement thousands of new names and comments in tandem with the schedule of presumably busy full-time commentators. The studio has stuck by Martin Tyler and Allen Smith for some time, and while they're a great duo, it can get a little stale listening to some of same sound cues that remain year-after-year.
Some years back, EA Sports actually offered alternative commentators via DLC. It's something we think the studio should considering putting forth again, or perhaps even including right from the get-go, since each edition of the game feels a lot less novel once players boot it up and hear some of the same lines they've been hearing for the past few years. The problem gets a little worse in Manager Mode, where unique verbal cues are given to events like player signings. This is all good, except for when they talk about a signing in one game, and then repeat the exact same conversation about the same recently-signed player in the next game.
It's no small task when it comes to properly implementing thousands of lines of dialogue into a game, but a healthy dose of elbow grease in this area would surely go a fair distance when it comes to keep the series regulars content.
2 Overdue Career Mode Maintenance
Career Mode used to be the bread and butter of EA's focus, but this crown has now decidedly passed to FIFA Ultimate Team. The result is half-hearted attempts at fresh career mode content like in-game training camps and seasonable objectives, but truthfully, EA Sports needs to freshen up the existing content. Training events may be a good replacement for loading screens, but having them play a large (and repetitive) role in player development can be a pain, and really kills the pace of gameplay.
When it comes to selling players in Career Mode, it can be hard to find offers to match a player's value if their form is average - but when buying, it's well-neigh impossible to bring in a player for under their recorded value. It'd go a long way for clubs to have more variety in AI-controlled selling habits, whether this be due to their own fiscal objectives, or a larger dose of player-based drama that seems to creep up in career mode.
Players also seem to have nerves of steel when it comes to contract negotiations, resulting in completely lackluster youth prospects who stand up to clubs like Manchester United and demand first team squad roles in their contracts - something one doesn't really see reflected in real life. A little more realism goes a long way.
1 Quality of Life
The little nitpicks of a title do tend to add up after a certain amount of time, and this problem grows exponentially with an annualized game. Still, the fact that some errors have stuck around for so long does warrant attention - for instance, around FIFA 06 we noticed that if someone makes multiple substitutions at the same time, the game typically fails to correctly record who came off for who. If two attackers change place at the same time as two defenders do, the game sometimes says the attacker came on for the defender - it's not a huge issue, but somehow it's managed to creep around for over 10 years now.
Likewise, commentator's are prone to saying completely off-base things, a problem that is especially errant in Manager Mode. Hearing a commentator declare that a player is making a strong case for player of the year while it's only the second game of the season is quite strange, and it's peculiar that the commentators occasionally call the minnow clubs 'the favorites' when playing against much stronger competition. Certainly, these problems are minuscule on the scale of it all - but for people who purchase the game year after year, they certainly get noticed.
More details about FIFA 18 are certain to drop during E3 2017 next week, and perhaps some of these issues will be addressed. EA Sports has done a great job with incorporating some great changes over the past few years, though only time will tell if FIFA 18 introduces some real magic into the mix. With Cristiano Ronaldo gracing the cover, it could be a massive year for Electronic Arts.
We're interested in hearing what features or changes gamers would like to see in the next iteration of FIFA. What would you like to see in FIFA 18, Ranters? Hopefully, it's not the frostbite engine on the Switch.
FIFA 18 is slated to launch on September 29, 2017 on Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

Malaysia's ringgit led Asian currencies' advance this week amid the fastest economic growth in a year, with the rupee extending its stretch of gains after India's clearest election results in three decades.
Southeast Asia's third-biggest economy grew 6.2 percent in the first quarter, beating the median estimate of economists in a Bloomberg News survey for a 5.7 percent increase, official data showed.
Malaysia's inflation rate eased last month, reports showed this month, while a Wednesday report showed consumer prices climbed 3.4 percent last month, slowing from 3.5 percent in March and February, but recording the quickest pace of growth since June 2011.
The ringgit advanced 0.7 percent to 3.2115 per US dollar this week, data compiled by Bloomberg show, while the rupee rose 0.5 percent to 58.5075 in Mumbai in its fourth weekly gain — the currency's longest stretch since February last year.
Malaysia's data are "painting quite a strong domestic backdrop," Westpac Banking Corp currency strategist Jonathan Cavenagh said. "In India, it's been a carry-on from the election euphoria."
Indian prime minister-designate Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party won the country's first single-party majority since 1984, spurring optimism that the new government will revive economic growth.
In Taipei, the New Taiwan dollar climbed 0.1 percent to NT$30.180 against the greenback to complete its third straight weekly advance after foreign funds pumped money into local stocks and a report signaled an improvement in China's economy, the nation's largest overseas market.
"The China data was strong, but the equity-related inflow was the main factor supporting the Taiwan dollar," Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank (台北富邦銀行) economist Cindy Yu (尤敏君) said. "The currency also follows the [South] Korean won, which has been holding its gains."
The won, which competes with the NT dollar in world markets, has gained 3.9 percent this quarter — the most in Asia — and fell 0.1 percent this week to 1,024.75 against the greenback. Taiwan's currency has gained 1.1 percent this quarter.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index dropped 0.1 percent to 115.96 over the week.
In Bangkok, the baht rose to within 0.2 percent of its level prior to last week's coup on the back of optimism that a military takeover will stabilize Thailand after six months of political unrest.
The baht gained as much as 0.4 percent to 32.46 per US dollar on Friday, after trading at 32.40 immediately prior to the army takeover. It fell 0.2 percent for the week to 32.56.
Elsewhere in Asia this week, the Philippine peso rose 0.2 percent to 43.665, Indonesia's rupiah declined 1.7 percent to 11,615 in its biggest five-day drop of the year, the yuan lost 0.05 percent to 6.2365 and the dong gained 0.1 percent to 21,148.
In Europe, the euro fell for a third week as measures of manufacturing and business confidence in the region signaled uneven economic growth, bolstering bets on further European Central Bank stimulus next month.
The shared currency reached a three-month low on concern that euroskeptic parties will gain ground this weekend in European Parliamentary elections.
The euro fell 0.5 percent to US$1.3629 this week in New York and was little changed against the yen, ending on 138.97, as the US dollar rose 0.5 percent to ¥101.97.
In London, the pound strengthened for a fourth week against the euro as a jump in UK retail sales stoked speculation that the Bank of England will hasten plans to raise interest rates as the economy grows.

This home floats somewhere between modern and art deco. The client loves exotic woods, and so the tropical hardwood purple heart was used extensively, from the handrail to the custom columns, to the fireplace mantles, even the chandelier panel uses this beautiful species with only a clear seal coat to allow the wood to speak for its self. We also design and managed the installation of the class panels in lieu of wood or metal balusters, fully inset into the railing and skirts with no visible fasteners.
The staircase for the 360 house was an exercise in precision and planning. Designed by Boora Architects, and built by Green Gables Design and Restoration. We worked closely with the architect, builder, and other craftsmen on the project. The main piece of our work is a free-standing staircase in wood and steel with completely invisible fasteners. We collaborated heavily with Brian Creany of Flux Design to align the steel sub-structure perfectly to the wood components. The balustrade is FSC-certified Italian veneers topped with American rift-sawn white oak handrails CNC milled to a custom profile. The treads and risers were also in American rift-sawn white oak with no visible fasteners. We also sourced a huge slab in rift-sawn American White oak for a bench alongside the stair opening in the living room. The stair and benchtop feature a water-based eco-friendly clear coat.

Spring is a great time to revisit the goals made earlier in the year. If you're like me, one of those goals is always about eating healthier. And really, I've said it before, it doesn't have to be a complete overhaul of your diet or lifestyle. It's the little changes, the healthy habits made over time that are easier to keep and longer lasting.
Be a breakfast champion
I used to skip breakfast almost every single day in my younger years. I'm not sure how or why it became my habit, but it did. By late morning or lunchtime I would be ravenous and let me just say, it would really throw my day off. The headaches. The crabbiness. The grumbling tummy.
When you're hangry, chances are you aren't going to take the time to make a healthy meal. It's sad, but true. Instead, it's super tempting to hit up the coffee cart filled with pastries or stop at the drive-thru.
If I'm not drinking a green smoothie first thing in the morning (see below for more), I'm having a bowl of oatmeal with a small spoonful of coconut oil, splash of almond milk, sprinkle of cinnamon, a sliced banana, and a handful of Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries. It's the most requested breakfast at my house. And it only takes about 2 minutes to make start to finish!
Eat more salad
Don't laugh, but one of my goals this year was to eat more salad…like eat a giant salad every day, if possible. That's an easy thing to do, I think. Produce sections are full of different kinds of leafy greens and there are infinite combinations of toppings to choose from.
When I first decided to quit hating on veggies in my early 20s, I started with spinach salad and my very favorite topping of all-time, Craisins® Dried Cranberries. I'm not even joking. That is all it took for me to start enjoying salad. I even built the menu at my wedding reception around a salad that included Craisins® Dried Cranberries.
Salad is one of the easiest meals to take to prep ahead and take to work, if needed. It also forces you to sloooow down and really chew your food. We could all benefit from enjoying our meals more, am I right?
In my life, I have suffered through more than my fair share of UTIs. Drinking enough and adding cranberries and cranberry juice into my diet makes all the difference.
Drinking more has helped me immensely with feeling more alert and just better in general. The first thing I do if I get a headache is reach for a glass of water or occasionally some juice. Also, sometimes your body mistakes hunger for thirst. Keeping hydrated has all sorts of benefits.
…and cut out the soda!
A few years ago I decided to stop drinking sugary soda. I can honestly say I do not miss it even one little bit. (I do still enjoy sparkling water.) If you're trying to ditch soda or drink more water, something that can ease the transition is to add a little juice to still or sparkling water. It's very refreshing and tastes fancy.
Drink more fruit and veggie smoothies
This is another no-fail way for me to get more nutrients into my day. I love starting my day with a green smoothie if I'm not having my oatmeal. And if I don't have it for breakfast, then it's my mid-morning snack. If you're new to green or veggie smoothies, using fruit juice as your blending liquid adds flavor and sweetness. You can't go wrong with cranberry juice, kale, orange, and frozen berries. Just sayin'.
Snack smarter
And since I mentioned snacking…
I've heard so many different things about snacking from "go for it!" and "eat smaller meals throughout the day" to "no eating between meals." The truth is, some days I just need a snack to get me through! That's where snacking smarter becomes a matter of importance.
Mindless snacking can turn into more than you bargained for. Ever notice how a bag of [anything] disappears quickly if you're dipping in by the handful? Making little snack packets to help with portion control is my favorite snacking tip, followed by snacking slowly on nutrient dense foods. No hitting up the vending machine for a candy bar. Nope! Dried fruit, like Craisins® Dried Cranberries, and a handful of nuts are my jam.1

This past summer, the community group Lead-Free Williston tested a neighborhood brook, a nearby pond and one of their members' drinking water wells for lead contamination. Unfortunately, they weren't surprised to find lead in each of these bodies of water, including levels four times the legal limit in the drinking water well.
Lead-Free Williston formed nearly three years ago when lead started showing up at very low levels in drinking water wells. The most apparent source was the North Country Sportsmen's Club, a nearby shooting range where decades of lead shot have accumulated in the soil. The Sportsmen's Club had never implemented the best management practices laid out by the Environmental Protection Agency and now their negligence threatened the environment and health of their neighbors with exposure to lead. For their safety, local families must lived on bottled water; meanwhile a neighboring farm, which depended on the brook to water cattle, now must search for an alternative source. In response to our work with Lead-Free Williston, the shooting range applied for and received a public grant to clean up the lead. That was one and a half years ago, and this summer's test results found levels of lead in the brook identical to the readings from two years prior. In addition, for the first time the tests showed dangerous levels of lead in one neighbor's drinking water well.
"We recognize that the shooting club has taken initial steps to address the lead issue," said Jessica Edgerly, Toxics Action Center's Vermont state director, "however, a good try isn't enough. The shooting range needs to take expedient action to clean up their mess."
This winter, the Williston Selectboard plans to take a closer look at the issue. Meanwhile, Lead-Free Williston continues to collect petitions, raise awareness and generate media coverage of the lead problem.

Comic Art Printed on Furniture
This piece of furniture designed by Giuseppe Canevese features the artwork of graphic artist Guido Crepax who was influential in the development of European comic art in the second half of the 20th century. His most famous storyline, featuring the character "Valentina", was created in 1965. Printed on white polished MDF, these creations are certainly attention grabbing and conversation starters in any room and in any language. I'm pretty sure that those of you who loved comics when they were kids will absolutely love this piece of furniture. If you want to see more pieces from this collection, or maybe buy something you can go here. – Via – Yanko

So, of late I've been wondering if I should start gearing up for another 30 days challenge in November. Prep some stock, glue ups and make lists of ideas (which makes the most sense). or rather be lazy and enjoy the nice fall weather, and just wing it come November.
Well the fates have answered in the form of getting an offer on our house! Closing date mid month. Yay, we get to move! Crap we have to move.
Needless to say I have a whole new set of challenges and logistics, not only moving house, but also moving shop. At least my wife doesn't question the value of a huge pile of hardwood, including such gems as this Walnut milled back in the 50's
and just a bit of oak from the 50's
So, that said, I'll be bowing out of next months 30 days challenge – hopefully not to the disappointment of friends and family hoping to snag a few special Christmas presents (though I still have a few things left on Etsy!). We'll likely also be bowing out of a few other scheduled events as we look for boxes to fill, and a place to move said boxes in short order.
Though this time were not as picky with our choice of digs… A shop, with two bedrooms and whatever kitchen and family room that comes with. (And yes my wife has my shop high on the list!!!!) Maybe there will be enough left after closing for a nice new tablesaw, if thats not pushing my luck ;)
in the meantime, anyone willing to pick up the challenge and let me live vicariously?

This page aims to help you remove Fileless Malware. These Fileless Malware removal instructions work for every version of Windows.
One of the most widely spread and feared type of malware that you can encounter is the Trojan Horse. Those malicious programs are a favorite tool of the majority of hackers and cyber criminals, regardless of their end-goal. The main reason for that is the infamous versatility of this kind of software viruses. Trojans can be used for an incredibly wide variety of illegal and malicious tasks and in the following article we will cover some of their most common uses.
Fileless Malware
Recently, a new program of this type has been released under the name of Fileless, which is likely even more advanced and improved in comparison to its predecessors. That is why we believe that our readers need to be well informed about what Fileless and other Trojans are capable of, how they get inside one's computer and what are the best methods to prevent them from invading your system. Also, down below the main part of the article, every one of you who has already had their machine attacked by this noxious software can find a detailed instruction manual that will guide you through the different steps of how you can potentially find and remove the nasty program from your machine. However, bear in mind that it is advisable you read the following paragraphs first, and then go for the guide instead of rushing straight for it without reading the rest of the information that we have to offer you. After all, being well-informed is the key to successfully and effectively dealing with any sort of malicious or unwanted software.
What are the dangers of a Trojan Horse?
As mentioned above, there is a myriad of potential harms or unwanted tasks that a typical Trojan Horse can execute once inside your machine. The bottom line is that if a Trojan attack is successful, the hacker could gain unlimited access to everything on your computer. Here are some of the most frequent uses of malware such as Fileless that you can expect.
- Spying – Those infamous PC viruses are very often used as espionage tools. A hacker could employ a variety of methods to spy on their victim, some of which are keystroke logging, monitoring what is happening on your screen or even using your own webcam to directly see into your room. It should be obvious how much potential harm all of this could bring. Through keystroke logging and screen monitoring, the criminal can gain valuable information about your online accounts and even gain access to them and there is no need to even mention how disturbing and problematic it would be if someone could spy on you via your web camera.
- Data and money theft – As we said, a Trojan Horse can grant full access to all your data. This could allow the cyber-criminal to obtain valuable information that you might have stored on your hard drive or even your cloud account. Besides, via the keystroke logging method, the hacker could enter your bank accounts and extract all money without you even realizing it until it's too late. Blackmailing if you have sensitive data on your machine is also an option that should not be underestimated. Know that hackers will seek every possible exploit to gain the upper hand and get what they want from you.
- Mining and botnet – Another possibility is that the criminal would attempt to use the resources of your computer for personal gain. Some Trojans can turn your PC into a mining bot that would use all available system resources in order to generate bitcoins that get sent directly to the hacker who's using the virus. Another possibility is that your machine gets turned into a spam-bot, which would force it to send out spam messages and links without you being able to stop it.
- Backdoor – In addition to all we already mentioned, malware programs such as Fileless might serve as a backdoor into your system for other malicious software such as the malicious Ransomware. This devious method for other malware to get inside your machine is extremely problematic because there is almost no way for you to spot and identify the threat until the damage has already been done.
The importance of staying safe
There are a lot of other possible harmful effects that a Trojan Horse could have on your system and virtual security. Therefore, staying safe and protected is extremely important. In addition to all the potential problems that Fileless can cause, it is also really difficult to detect the malware, since Trojans hardly even display any symptoms. Sometimes there might be spam and/or malicious-looking ads in your browser or a general PC slow-down, but if the hacker wants the virus to remain under your radar, it would be very difficult for you to do anything about it.
Protecting your system
Here are a couple of useful tips that might help you protect your online privacy and virtual security from any future malware attacks. It is surely much better to avoid getting infected by a malicious Trojan than having to find a way to remove it afterwards.
- Install a reliable antivirus program. Since Trojan Horse viruses are one of the major problems that users can be faced with while surfing the net, security software companies are doing their best to keep their products up-to-date with the latest versions of Trojan Horse malware that are created.
- Do not go to or download content from any shady-looking, illegal or obscure websites. Sticking to trusted and reputable sites is the best thing you can do in order to keep your system safe and clean of any potentially harmful software.
- Avoid opening any suspicious hyperlinks or e-mails even if they have been sent by someone you know. After all, you never know if their computer has not been turned into a spambot by some nasty virus.
|Danger Level
|High (Trojans are often used as a backdoor for Ransomware)
|There are little to no symptoms of Trojan Horse viruses. Generally, you can expect unusual PC behavior, sudden crashes and obscure and shady pop-ups in your browser.
|Distribution Method
|Illegal sites, malicious torrents, hidden and deceptive hyperlinks and the mandatory spam e-mail letters.
|Detection Tool
parasite may reinstall itself multiple times if you don't delete its core files. We recommend downloading SpyHunter to scan for malicious programs. This may save you hours and cut down your time to about 15 minutes.

Type Regedit in the windows search field and press Enter.
Once inside, press CTRL and F together and type the virus's Name. Right click and delete any entries you find with a similar name. If they don't show this way, go manually to these directories and delete/uninstall them:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—–Random Directory. It could be any one of them – ask us if you can't discern which ones are malicious.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—-Windows—CurrentVersion—Run– Random
HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—Internet Explorer—-Main—- Random
If all the prior steps fail to help you or you have reason to believe your system is exposed to threats like Ransomware, we advise you to download a professional scanner and remover.

Intellectual Property Critical to Maximizing Trans Pacific Partnership/
New Report Reveals Enormous Benefits of TPP Only Realized if Strong Protections in Place to Protect Innovation, Spur Job Creation in all Member Countries.
Washington, D.C. (December 17, 2013) – NDP Analytics today released a new study analyzing the substantial economic boost that countries participating in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) stand to achieve from one of the most ambitious free trade agreements in history. The report, titled "The Economic Benefits of Intellectual Property Rights in the Trans-Pacific Partnership," finds that two-thirds of the total economic benefits of the TPP would come from intellectual property (IP)-related manufacturing industries. The authors argue that stronger protection of IP rights in the TPP leads to greater economic growth and development across all participating countries.
"There is no question that strong intellectual property protections benefit all TPP nations, and that IP is the linchpin to maximizing the full potential of the TPP," said Nam D. Pham, PhD, Managing Partner of NDP Analytics. "As our latest research shows, critics of IP rights in the TPP both at home and abroad are far off base. Indeed, an agreement that weakens IP rights will significantly dilute any economic benefits for all participating countries, and could cause a backslide in future innovation across all TPP partners."
The study finds that a TPP agreement including IP protections at least as strong as current U.S. law would have the following effects:
Boost U.S. manufacturing exports by $26 billion and increase U.S. GDP by $11 billion, two-thirds of which would be derived from IP-intensive industries
Create up to 48,000 new jobs in the U.S. economy
U.S. companies' exports to their foreign affiliates in the TPP result in $6.4 billion combined additional increase in local GDP and over 68,000 new jobs created in those nations
To read the full report, please click here. For media inquiries or additional information, please contact Justin Badlam at (202) 450-1369 or email@example.com.

Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in Prep Expert's SAT Prep boot camp, a 6 week SAT Prep Program, who markets their niche as the only program created by a student who has scored the perfect 2400 on the previous SAT. Less then 0.02% of students who took the test can claim that accomplishment. You may have seen Prep Expert CEO, Shaan Patel, close a deal with Mark Cuban on ABC's Shark Tank this past year. Being a high school senior, I have had the opportunity to learn under many different teaching styles, attending over 9 schools throughout my journey through the perils of pre college education. I took this course with the mindset that the SAT was the final test, and possibly only test in high school, I wanted to do well on. I am an okay student, maintaining a GPA of around a 3.7, but standardized testing is not typically my strong suit. In this unbiased review, I've outlined what Prep Expert has done for me, what it took for me to do it, and if it's something you should try out.
Prep Expert Review – Online Classes
By far, the best part of this program was the classes instructed by Mike Dubois. Every Wednesday and Sunday from 6:30-9:30 PM EST, I logged on to the Clickmeeting video conferencing software. Mike, a very accessible and articulate, non-chalant guy, serves on the side as an essay grader for the real SAT's. He knew first hand the requirements, what he was looking for and the format that he would give full points to. A typical class consisted of an hour of review from homework assignments, and two hours of new material. We ran through all the SAT categories and practice tests in depth, and during the short breaks every hour, students from all over the world connected, chatted, joked around, and simply threw questions at each other. The group tempo was very up-beat, and served as an open forum for anything SAT. Anytime I had a question, I just typed it into the chat box, and Mike answered every single one accurately. I have never used a better platform in an online classroom, and applaud Prep Expert for their ability to create the most surreal classroom experience online. Throughout the online part of the course, Mike pulled slides up of Expert Strategies, a name coined to represent the best techniques to use while testing. Some seemed very obvious, and some were completely new. For instance, it outlined how much time was wasted flipping back and forth between a answer sheet and the test booklet. I saw this, and did not think much of it till I took another SAT Practice test, and realized full on how right they were. It proved that my natural conscious mind seemed to prefer to waste precious and rare testing time. My main critique was class tended to end late, especially since school began in Florida on August 12, right when the program started. If ever possible, it may be worthwhile to have more flexible time slots for those who live in different time zones.
The Materials
If an individual decides to take Prep Expert like I did, that person must be willing to devote two things to the course. If you comply with both, there is a very realistic chance, with the preparation Prep Expert provides, of actually scoring a perfect 1,600 on the new SAT. In the course, they mentioned these as a prerequisite learning experience, but the first commitment is the student must have a reason for doing well on the SAT. If your goal is to do well on the SAT, so you can get accepted into an Ivy League college like Stanford on a hefty scholarship, perfect. Take this course, and you'll have the best opportunity to make it happen. That may sound easy, but goals are powered by passion and drive, and in order to complete them, one must be loaded on both. The second commitment is be prepared for a heavy workload, and much of it may be repetitive. Part of the reason Prep Expert, and other SAT Prep courses exist, is because they teach you that the SAT has somewhat of a pattern to it, and implementing the proper strategies can help you choose your answers wisely and fast, therefore increasing your score. The best way to do this is by assimilating yourself multiple times with the material, so you know how to instantly recognize a question, and find the answer they are looking for. There are multiple approaches to solve a problem, but the SAT only writes for roughly one approach. Prep Expert shows the pupil how a question should be solved in untraditional ways, while using few pre-meditated skills. Prep Expert provides its students with multiple Prep SAT's, along with 5 books written by Shaan, homework assignments, and lastly, the online course, accessible at any time in case you missed it. To sum it up, instead of teaching materials learned in school, they tell you how to best implement it, and recognize tricks to solving questions faster and better.
To Conclude
Multiple people have scored perfectly on the new SAT using Prep Expert's strategies and lessons. The reason this article refers to the SAT as something that could be beat, is because it shows you how to 'game' the test. I am extremely impressed in how this program managed to blend lessons and questions together to boost the average student's score almost 400 points, typically unheard of in this industry. (National average is 30 point bump from NACA) While I am a stanch opponent of standardized testing in general, I cannot change that the SAT exists, and is valued so dearly by colleges. It is simply a measurement of how well one exceeds in testing their knowledge on K-12 schooling. On October 1st of 2016, I will walk into the SAT testing area of the local high school in Satellite Beach, Florida. I will sit down in the hard wooden stools provided, and pick up that glossy pencil to answer all the questions, yet in the back of my mind, I'll be grateful to Prep Expert for the fact that I knew how to solve almost every problem on that test, before I even stepped foot in the building.
Prep Expert courses are available for purchase on PrepExpert.com, and currently cost $999 in comparison to $1,200+ from their current direct competitors.

Chicago Study-and-Mission Day #2
Today students had the opportunity to process the Beginning of time from an athiestic perspective. In a show presented at the Alder Planetarium entitled, "Cosmic Collisions", Robert Redford explains how the universe came into existence through chance interactions over billions of years. He states that the life on earth could go through another period where life would begin anew with a complete extinction.
Our students are gaining valuable perspectives and are processing the implications of these thoughts. Stay tuned to hear more processing done by our students as we call them to engage and interact with their world.
