FAQBefore You Purchase
How does MedaCheck remind me if I forgot to take my medicine?
We call it our "progressive reminder system." MedaCheck's personalized reminder and support system provides you with the timely information you need in order to take all your medications as instructed.
When it is time to take your medication, the MedaCheck tablet will beep, showing your medication through a photo and in writing so that you know exactly which medication should be taken. If for some reason you fail to notify the MedaCheck tablet that you have taken your medication as prescribed (in a matter of 30 minutes), the on-call, MedaCheck Care Team will call you to remind you to take your medication.
MedaCheck improves connectivity between you and your (informal or formal) caregiver so that they can stay up-to-date on whether you have taken your medication as instructed. MedaCheck also optimizes communication between you and your provider/care team/caregiver by providing real-time feedback. If you do fail to provide this feedback, the designated contact (in many cases the caregiver) will be notified via call or text, informing them you have missed a dose.
Stay better connected with your loved ones and with your health care provider(s) by using MedaCheck.
I'm not comfortable with modern technology. Is MedaCheck still right for me?
MedaCheck is committed to ease of use and simplicity. Unlike other apps or devices, MedaCheck does not require users to have familiarity with modern technology. MedaCheck is a "response only" device. When the device beeps, a user just touches the screen to signify that each medication has been properly taken.
The setup process for MedaCheck is meant to be as frictionless as possible.
I'm looking to utilize MedaCheck for patients. Is MedaCheck right for our practice/facility?
MedaCheck is currently being used for people with complex medications, and to help manage chronically ill and elderly patients.
Our platform can be specifically designed for a variety of other settings across the medical neighborhood, and/or those facilities looking to increase their touch points and ability to empower patients. Those include medical practices or administrators in the telehealth/ telemedicine arena, healthcare providers, health insurers, PCMHs, ACOs, Assisted Living Facilities, as well as a host of pharmaceutical applications.
Patient-specific directions for how to properly administer each drug, ongoing patient education, and tailored messages for patients can also be built into our system for specific situations. MedaCheck better connects care teams and patients, and it is our goal to help patients stay living at home, as long as possible.
How many medications would I need to be taking to benefit from using MedaCheck?
Anyone who has at least one medication or treatment can benefit from MedaCheck. We also have users that are taking over twenty medications a day. No matter the number of medications you take, MedaCheck's progressive reminder system provides both clarity and peace of mind for users.
My internet connection is poor. Can I still reply on MedaCheck?
Utilizing one of the broadest cellular carriers, MedaCheck will work without error thanks to reach that spans across 98% of the US. This means that if you can get a cellular signal, MedaCheck's progressive reminder system will work for you.
Multiple people in our household could use MedaCheck. How many MedaCheck devices should we order?
Each individual person must have their own, dedicated MedaCheck device. We created MedaCheck with the user in mind—and this is the easiest way to track your individual medications and to avoid any possible confusion in the process.

What should I know about medication management, and what is medication adherence?
Medication adherence is the term used for "sticking" to your prescription or treatment as instructed. Not adhering to your daily medication is referred to as non-adherence. For you or a loved one/family member in your life, non-adherence can include:
- Not filling or re-filling a prescription as needed
- Stopping the medication at the wrong time
- Stopping a medication before you should
- Taking more or less (or skipping doses) of the prescribed medicine
MedaCheck helps with the management of your ongoing medications by:
- reminding patients when it's time to take their medication;
- providing relevant, information on each medication, such as precautions, patient-specific directions, and other crucial information to take your medication as instructed;
- providing reminders that include follow-up calls from MedaCheck's Care Team (call center) when users have not indicated they took their prescription(s) as instructed.
As a caregiver, what should I do if a family member/person has an issue with their medication?
Users should always speak with a medical professional, including, but not limited to, their doctor, pharmacist, specialty care providers, or other health care practitioners.
Any changes with ongoing medication should be brought to MedaCheck's attention so that the reminder system can reflect any and all changes to your medication regime.
Do you have help with setup?
Yes, here is a video that walks you through how you can setup your device.

Hits 1 to 7 of 7Saint Bernard of Clairvaux - "Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts, Thou fount of life, thou Light of men, From the best bliss that earth imparts We turn unfilled to Thee again. We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. O Jesus, ever with us stay, Make all our moments calm and bright Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light."
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux - "You wish to see listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision."
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux - "What I know of the divine science and Holy Scriptures, I learnt in woods and fields."
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux - "I do a great wrong in His sight, when I beseech Him that He will hear my prayer, which as I give utterance to it, I do not hear myself. I entreat Him that He will think of me but I regard neither myself nor Him. Nay, what is worse, turning over corrupt and evil thoughts in mine heart, I thrust a dreadful offensiveness into His presence."
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux - "It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment."
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux - "If the appetite alone hath sinned, let it alone fast, and it sufficeth. But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too.... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord."
Bernard of Clairvaux - "Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations."

A common problem with Big Data is it is so big, you don't know where to start. To help you explore what you have and what to do with it, IBM InfoSphere Data Explorer comes with many different connectors to find your data wherever it exists inside the enterprise. This hands on lab will teach you the basics of integrating IBM InfoSphere Data Explorer into your existing infrastructure so you can explore your data quickly and securely. We will explore data sourced from file systems, IBM DB2, Microsoft SharePoint, and IBM Lotus Domino. This lab will give you what you need to start exploring your Big Data.
Looking forward to seeing you at IOD 2013!

Robert Davi is coming home. The renowned character actor, who has appeared in a number of films over the past three-plus decades, including Die Hard, Showgirls and The Goonies, has not only spent the past year and a half returning to his musical roots, but will be returning to his alma mater Hofstra University to pay homage to one of his biggest influences: Frank Sinatra. Under the direction of fellow Drama Department alum and the current artistic director of the Hofstra Cultural Center Bob Spiotto, Davi will take the stage for three nights, performing "A Tribute to a Legend: Davi Sings Sinatra," where he'll be delving into the Great American Songbook and sharing anecdotes about his relationship with the late musical icon.
"I did my first movie with him, Contract on Cherry Street. I was a young kid and as an Italian-American growing up in New York and doing my first film with him was quite an experience. He was just amazing and he kept in touch with me over the years when I'd see him along with Jilly Rizzo and some of the other friends and entourage," recalls Davi, over the phone from his California home. "He was just the most gracious…what you would expect. I'm going to tell some anecdotes about him and I'll tell the audience how I had my first Jack Daniels with Frank Sinatra and how that happened. There'll be some fun stories."
Over the three nights that this show will be performed, audiences can expect plenty of authentic touches in Davi's homage to the Chairman of the Board, from the 30-piece orchestra that will be accompanying him—including many musicians who played behind Sinatra at Carnegie Hall—to opening act Tom Dreesen, a veteran comedian who spent 14 years warming up audiences for Sinatra.
Unlike so many actors who end up singing as a kind of creative busman's holiday, Davi's musical roots run deep. Growing up in a traditional Italian household on the border of Deer Park and Dix Hills, he was exposed to an enormous amount of opera and classical music. Names like Caruso, Tito Gobbi, Franco Corelli, Mahler and Debussy pop up in conversation alongside crooners like Tony Bennett, Dean Martin and of course, Sinatra.
Davi's love of music and strong singing style afforded him plenty of educational opportunities. "I went to Seton Hall High School in Patchogue. I won first place in the New York State School Music Association Solo Competition and in the New York State Dramatic Intepretation," he says. "I won a lot of awards at Hofstra University and then I got a scholarship to Hofstra University from the Drama Department. They had what was called the Freshman Theater Arts Core Program and it was a marvelous department, which included a replica of The Globe Theater, which I was very attracted to."
In coming full circle and playing Hofstra, it's a reunion Spiotto feels was a long time coming and is even more appropriate given Davi's love of Old Blue Eyes. "Sinatra had an impact on Robert early in his career as he will tell you specifically. There is a wonderful picture of Robert and Sinatra together that Robert carries around with him," Spiotto explains. "It's almost as if Robert feels almost everything he does is in tribute to the advice he's been given by [Sinatra]. [This show] is so personal and it's not just another person saying they like Sinatra, they know it'll sell and then they just do a bunch of his songs. There's a personal aspect to it which I think makes it even more crucial, unique and wonderful."
Robert Davi will be performing "A Tribute to a Legend: Davi Sings Sinatra" from July 16 to 18 at Hofstra University's John Cranford Adams Playhouse, Hempstead Tpke. Hempstead. For more information on tickets, please call 516-463-6644.

Dixit Anantakara :
"Anantakara is a Sanskrit adjective translated as" rendered without end, magnify indefinitely, make indefinite or infinite. " It is "imposed" so I was looking for a title that would meet my musical artistic intention: walk sound to be endlessly browsing the quest for the meeting point opposite, an unexpected point that regenerates and done with calligraphy sound. A verticality that infuses a horizontality. Sound designer project, meaning and breath by opening space-time in which we follow initiatory journey over audible chants invoking poetic inwardness, imaginary and spiritual.
I deploy a music that revolves around the "sound", its immanence, and no longer around the "sonority" as our classical and modern inheritances have taught us. It is a music that opens up to the dimension of the cosmos, and thus to spatialization: the top, the bottom, the extent, the orientations, the cycles, the slips. The sound is approached as a matter in its own right - with its own requirements - which ... fold in fold, awakens and extends like a universe. With its own time, its singular coherence, its unique typology, its imperious necessity. And the more imperious it is, the more dense will be its crossing; The more there will be unexpected, surprise, real and universal. A tear in the veil of the known. From sound to being. Improvisation has an important part in my compositions. As I like to repeat it "Improviser does not improvise". It is a way of being. Composing is above all listening.
The Anantakara music is inspired by a broad spectrum of contemporary music in shamanic music, electro Indian ragas, rock affronts techno, ambient jazz ... and explores theater , Performance, cinema, ritual, contemplation, dance ... " Anantakara is part of the musical universe of Radio PLENITUDE.
Sit back, listen, enjoy...

Stories not on paper
Want to read indigenous literature? Don't pick up a book.
That's because native stories are not always written down on paper, award-winning novelist Witi Ihimaera says.
Indigenous tales were mostly expressed through art such as tattoos, tapa cloth paintings, kapa haka and waiata, he said.
For New Zealand-based Samoan tattoo artist Cliff Cole traditional symbols from his island represented "identity".
The 41-year-old said the indigenous motifs he used were thousands of years old. The patterns, inspired by wildlife and nature on the island, collectively told the story of Samoa.
Two years ago Cole got a tattoo that covered most of his body.
And he did not do it the "contemporary way" using a needle, instead he went to Samoa and did it himself using traditional tools.
"It [my tattoo] shows who I am, where I am from and what I represent."
Cole said as soon as someone saw his tattoo they knew he was from Samoa.
But will New Zealand literature be complete without written stories from the islands?
Ihimaera said moving forward indigenous narratives needed to be jotted down in pen and paper.
And that was the concept behind the latest book he had co-edited with Tina Makereti.
Black Marks on the White Page was a collection of short stories from the Pacific – some of them being written down for the first time.
The book was an attempt to include more indigenous voices New Zealand literature.

Unlike the UK the L.A. is not televised and I often think that this is such a good job. It sets such a bad example for those young people who may be visiting especially as they were talking about education! However, having said that the behaviour in the House of Commons in the UK is often far far worse!! We want people to be engaged, to participate and challenge - not ignore people talking to them. I appreciate that this is politics, but it just always appears so RUDE, and is certainly no example to others!!

Setting examples in rudeness
I spent some of yesterday sitting directly behind elected members in the Legislative Assembly whilst the Hon. Minister read two prepared statements, one a progress report on progress towards the transformation of the countrys' education service, and secondly an outline of the new roles for the existing Schools' Inspectorate, both of which I, amongst others had spent hours crafting. I was, again, fairly irritated that most of the members of the Opposition spent the whole time chatting, laughing and joking between themselves. I suppose one of the reasons I was a little fed up was that they clearly had no idea how long we had spent crafting the words to avoid confusion, ensure clarity and get as much information across as efficiently as possible. As least the members of the media present were taking copious notes! I was conscious that we have spent two years with copious consultation with members of the public, and many are really engaged with the process - to see the lack of interest, at this stage anyway, showed, in my opinion rather a lack of respect towards all those who have contributed to the national picture.

Thought that I would reshare this idea for this Easter.
Thought that I would share a cute knitting idea. This cost basically nothing to make except for a little bit of free time. Less than a ball of wool, and a little bit of fabric.
|Shoe String Bunnies
The first one I decided to tackle was this adorable little bunny that I found on Pinterest. I wanted to give my children something different for Easter, and when I saw it I just fell in love with it.
|Tiny Knitted Bunny
I personally love giving gifts that have some meaning and that last longer than the occasion; and these last longer than chocolate.
Click the above link to see this post on Pinterest
The pattern was free and very simple and easy to make. Please visit www.ravelry.com if you would like to download the pattern for free.
|Easter bunny's on a shoe string budget
Please leave your comments below as I would love to hear what you think and if you also if you have done something similar.
Lotsa love

A sheriff's deputy has been harshly criticised after he had his wife arrested over a Facebook post criticising his behaviour. In 2015 Anne King posted a status to Facebook calling out her ex-husband for not bringing medication to his children who were ill with the flu. The message read:
"That moment when everyone in your house has the flu and you ask your kid's dad to get them (not me) more Motrin and Tylenol and he refuses." Some of her friends responded in agreement, with Susan Hines calling him a "POS" and saying "Give me an hour and check your mailbox. I'll be GLAD to pick up the slack."
A Tennille woman is in court suing her ex-husband -- a Washington County Sheriff's deputy -- for her arrest in Jan. 2015 regarding a Facebook post. https://t.co/2E5UvivT2Z— WGXA (@WGXAnews) 8 March 2018
While it's not classy to air your relationship troubles on Facebook, it's hardly a criminal offence. But that didn't stop Corey King from having his wife and her friend, Susan Hines, charged with defamation of character over the "derogatory remarks". The full warrant read:
"The subject did, without a privilege to do so and with intent to defame another, communicate false matter which tends to expose one who is alive to hatred, contempt, or ridicule, and which tends to provoke a breach of peace."
Both women were arrested and then spent four hours in jail before finally being released on $1000 bail. When the case finally went before the court the judge was shocked by how frivolous it was and immediately dismissed it, saying,
"I don't even know why we're here."
and some more police abusing power news: sheriff's ex-wife & her friend talk about sheriff on facebook. sheriff has ex-wife & her friend arrested for defamation. this type of arrest has been unconstitutional since early 80shttps://t.co/Srl0NaYUzR— Arise (@rise804) 9 March 2018
Anne King was quick to counter-sue her husband, who may now be in some serious trouble given that "defamation of character" was ruled an unconstitutional law in 1982. Now the case has gone federal and Corey King has been accused of an egregious abuse of power. Corey King, meanwhile, blames the magistrate who authorised the arrest warrant, while the magistrate has defended himself saying no one ever notified him the charge was invalid.
Meanwhile Anne King is continuing to seek damages against her ex-husband. Her attorney, Ken Hodges, told the press they are looking to "hold those accountable who are going to use their positions of power over those who have no power."
He later added:
"The ironic thing is, she didn't even post anything derogatory. She just posted that she was feeling overwhelmed."

These results suggest that a regulatory system exists in the bovine thyroid gland based on UCN, CRHR1 and CRHR2 and that UCN plays a role in the regulation of thyroid physiological functions through an autocrine/paracrine mechanism.
U1 localized in the preoptic area, periventricular hypothalamic and tectal regions, and dorsal part of the trigeminal motor nucleus and several nuclei of the dorsal telencephalon.
Results describe the distribution of urotensin I, UIIalpha and UIIbeta mRNAs in different organs and the cellular localization of the three mRNAs in the spinal cord by in situ hybridization (ISH) histochemistry.
Data report that Ucn1 is expressed in human articular chondrocytes (AC) and confirm that Ucn1 is essential for the survival of AC cells in the absence of pro-apoptotic stimuli.
REVIEW: Cardioprotective Utility of Urocortin in Myocardial Ischemia- Reperfusion Injury: Where do We Stand?
In women with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or both symptoms, the probability of endometriosis (positive predictive value) increased consistently with the increase of plasma Ucn1 levels.
Study found reduced miR-326 levels concomitant with elevated Ucn1 levels in Edinger-Westphal nucleus (EWcp) of depressed suicide completers and in the EWcp of depressed rats. In fully recovered rats, both serum and EWcp miR-326 levels rebounded to nonstressed levels. While downregulation of miR-326 levels in primary midbrain neurons enhanced Ucn1 expression levels, miR-326 overexpression selectively reduced its levels.
In deep infiltrating endometriotic lesions, CRH, Ucn and CRH-R2 mRNA levels were significantly higher than in ovarian endometrioma.
UCN I is secreted from human glioblastoma cells by exocytosis through constitutive secretory granules.
Findings identify Ucn as a potential mediator that inhibits TGFbeta1 oncogenic signaling in breast neoplasm.
In women with adnexal endometrioma versus teratoma, the medians were 105.31 pg/mL versus 120.84 pg/mL for urocortin, 7.16 pg/mL versus 9.13 pg/mL for leptin and 584.33 pg/mL versus 657.82 pg/mL for ghrelin (p > 0.05), respectively.
Ucn1 prevents the development of atherosclerosis by suppressing EC inflammatory response and proliferation, macrophage foam cell formation, and VSMC migration and proliferation
These data suggest that UVB-stimulated Ucn1 contributes to TRP1 production via the transcription of both Nurr-1 and Nur77. Ucn1, produced in melanoma cells, acts on melanoma cells themselves in an autocrine manner.
down-regulated expression in the placenta and maternal serum during intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy may impair the blood flow regulation of the utero-placental-fetal unit and contribute to fetal distress
Production of CRF and UCN1 in human dendritic cells is strongly augmented by commensal intestinal bacteria.
Cardioplegic arrest failed to induce cardiac myocyte overexpression of urocortin in diabetic hearts.
Urocortin expression inversely correlates with higher tumor grade and advanced tumor stage in gastric adenocarcinomas.
all neonates expressed UCN1 in the Edinger-Westphal nucleus independent of the degree of neuropathological injury.
Ucn is both an essential chondrocyte survival signal peptide and a chondroprotective agent in the presence of pro-apoptotic stimuli.
A detailed conformational model for the CRF1R-Ucn1 complex based on the many ligand-receptor interactions determined was here and eventually revealed unique features of peptide ligand binding to class B GPCRs.
during the midluteal phase of the cycle, metformin may decrease the production of corticotropin-releasing hormone and UCN in the endometrium.
in human melanoma HMV-II cells both CRF and Ucn1 regulate TRP1 gene expression via Nurr-1/Nur77 production, independent of pro-opiomelanocortin or alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone stimulation.
Data suggest that low urocortin-1 concentration in midtrimester amniotic fluid is an early indicative marker of preterm birth.
Genetic deletion of Ucn1 reduced high levels of intake and preference across 2 weeks of continuous access drinking when alcohol concentrations were increased from 10 to 20 to 40%. Ucn1 deletion did not alter low-level drinking when the alcohol concentration remained at 10%.
Taken together, our data indicate that sex shows significant interaction with genotype and Ucn1 during colitis. Human duodenal and colonic biopsies revealed that sex-specific differences exist in levels of CRF receptors and Ucn1 expression in patients with CD compared with the matched non-IBD subjects. To conclude, Ucn1 mediates sex-specific immune and cellular signaling responses via CRF2, emphasizing the need for inclus
it is shown that CRH and UCN upregulate galectin-1 expression in Ishikawa cell line and macrophages and this effect is mediated through CRHR1.
This study aims to investigate the cellular localization of CRF and UCNs in the ileum and to explore whether and how this cellular expression is altered in conditions of intestinal Schistosoma mansoni-induced inflammation.
CNTF activates hypothalamic urocortin 1-expressing neurons both in vitro and in vivo.
The absence of the CB1 receptor alters the Ucn1 mRNA and peptide levels in Edinger-Westphal nucleus neurones, concomitant with an augmented stress response and increased anxiety-like behaviour.
EWcp-Ucn1 neurons play an important role in EtOH intake, preference, and reward.
CRF(1) agonists, Ucn 1 and stressin(1) -A, reduced feeding and induced interoceptive stress, whereas Ucn 2 potently suppressed feeding via a CRF(2) -dependent mechanism without eliciting malaise
Data suggest that UCN regulates osteoclast resorption by suppressing osteoclast maturation/function via suppression of constitutively active cation channel (CRFR2beta) with properties of canonical transient receptor potential 1 (TRPC1) channel.
Ucn1 gene was downregulated in 5-HTT KO and upregulated in 5-HTT TG mice which exhibit opposite changes in anxiety-related behavior; findings suggesti this peptide can be involved in behavioral changes observed in 5-HTT mutant mice
This study provides provide evidence for leptin actions that go beyond the hypothalamus and proposes that leptin can directly influence the activity of the midbrain Ucn1 neurons.
The lack of brain Ucn 1 immunoreactivity at birth and the gradual postnatal increase in Ucn 1 in the perioculomotor area suggests that this peptide plays a greater behavioral role in adulthood than during the early postnatal development of an organism.
Ucn1, CART and nesfatin-1/NUCB2 are specifically involved in the response of Edinger-Westphal nucleus neurons to acute stress in the mouse
Urocortin-deficient mice show hearing impairment and increased anxiety-like behavior.
Edinger-Westphal nucleus urocortin-expressing neurons mount a response to acute challenge in transgenic mice overexpressing corticotropin-releasing factor.
Urocortin induces macrophage apoptosis via Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor-2.
Dorsal raphe is a neuroanatomical substrate of urocortin 1-induced reductions in feeding.
UCN and AM prevent lethal endotoxemia by decreasing the local and systemic levels of a wide spectrum of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, chemokines, and the acute phase protein serum amyloid A
CRF and urocortin promote the survival of cultured cerebellar GABAergic neurons through the type 1 CRF receptor
An important role for UCN1 in the HPA axis adaptation to repeated restraint and in the corticosterone response to a cold environment.
This gene is a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. It is structurally related to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) gene and the encoded product is an endogenous ligand for CRF type 2 receptors. In the brain it may be responsible for the effects of stress on appetite. In spite of the gene family name similarity, the product of this gene has no sequence similarity to urotensin II.

EA Infects Battlefield Hardline with new ghastly DRM
So hey - I was am working on a graphics performance review for Battlefield Hardline, and guess what ? Do you guys remember the DRM introduced in Ubisofts Anno 2070 ? Well, EA just did pretty much the same thing. They sniff your PC and monitor for hardware changes.
The story goes like this; once upon a time I started working on a performance review. And after testing merely a handful of graphics cards I noticed EA will now lock your game (Battlefield Hardline) with the following message:
Interesting huh? Especially considering it is just one PC that we are using ? Here's what EAs DRM is doing these days, EA does not just verify the number of PCs you work on slash use, no Sir .. they monitor hardware changes inside your PC now, which I am sure is a privacy breach on many levels. So once we insert new hardware CPU / mobo / graphics cards or even a system firmware flash the hardware id # hash changes and if that happens a couple of times EA will render your game activation invalid. From what we now have learned, you get to have 5 hardware changes per license. Use them up and access to the game will be blocked for 24 hours per activation.
What a bunch of rubbish ....
If this is the future for EA titles then you guys can forget about VGA performance reviews as EA is rendering that pretty much impossible now. I've now been waiting for like 3 or 4 hours and we are still locked out of the game. The only way to solve this would be purchasing another key and setup a secondary account. This means that if we'd like to make a VGA performance review on Battlefield Hardline with a card or 20 we'd need to purchase the game three to four times.
EA - Guys we understand your piracy and cheating/hacking concerns, really we do. But STOP pissing off your user-base with this STUPID non-sense as it just is not needed. This is not five PCs we are using, it's happening after we swap out a videocard. Thus one user, one PC ... but changing graphics cards. Do that 5x in 24 hours and you are locked out of the game for 24 hours.
Hey -- if hardware changes force Windows to de-activate, we push a button and the system gets re-validated. EA however refuses you to login to the game for 24 hours, I could understand an hour; but 24 hours ?? I don't get that anymore, how does that make any sense ? Sighs - you need to wonder - at what point will the industry realize they are killing the PC game market themselves ?

Probably for the best, not only is it not a good game but it looks noticeably worse then Battlefield 4 for some reason.

Not so sure it's about piracy so much as the cheating in the game as this article explains. "BF4 cheaters are now hardware banned, but hackers already have a solution" http://bf4central.com/2015/02/bf4-cheaters-hardware-ban/

As if Origin was not enough, now we have to deal with another piece of DRM on the same game.....
EA has so little respect for their costumers.

I can only say, no words.
Maybe some legal in the field can investigate this behaviours?
Suggesting just a lot of petitions to stop this on time for all, this is becoming stup*d!
EA find another way to obtain money, something like: Code better or milk lesser for DLCs

Hilbert on top of his game (no pun intended) as usual. Nice find... well, for those that were on the fence about whether or not to pick this up. Wounder why no other sites have reported this yet.
Did EA make this info available anywhere (EULA, FAQs etc) or is it a complete stealth mission from EA.

Yeah,tipically big publishers etc.
Even if you change your CPU over 8 times you are blocked,so EA get our finger.
"The second problem is Origin. We had to cut some testing as EA's platform only allows us to change the CPU/GPU up to eight times per account before locking us out. We were forced use four different accounts to produce this article!
After eight hardware changes we get hit with "we're sorry, an error has occurred...too many computers have accessed this account's version of Battlefield Hardline recently. Please try again later." Ohh how I long for a Steam version of Hardline."

Should be the same with Lords of the Fallen and Dragon Age: Inquisition and any other game that is using Denuvo, pretty sure Star-Force, Tages and SecuROM also had hardware ID checks too albeit not as intrusive.
Denuvo seems to be a pretty light DRM but it is pretty invasive too or how it's called but it does work as it takes up to several months before the games are properly cracked, partially because there's so many different system configurations although as Hilbert discovered if you do upgrade your PC components often this error will pop up after a while.
(Should just need to mail support and reset the existing activations, Star-Force and SecuROM had methods so the end user could do this himself but I don't think Denuvo has anything like that which is unfortunate as customer support for big corporations like EA, Valve or Ubisoft can be pretty slow.)

Eurofins Food Safety Systems Offers Gluten-Free Certification
Eurofins Food Safety Systems and the Allergen Control Group Inc. (ACG) are proud to announce Eurofins' induction into the Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) as a newly trained and approved third party auditing and certification company. As a trusted supplier of valuable food safety assessments, Eurofins welcomes the opportunity to expand their capabilities, in order to better serve the food industry. This collaboration is a natural fit for Eurofins and ACG, who both share a common interest in food safety and consumer health.
The GFCP is the leading science-based certification program for brand owners wishing to make a safe and reliable gluten-free product claim and is focused exclusively on annual certification of a site's internal manufacturing and gluten management system to complement end-product testing. The GFCP provides unique gluten-free brand building opportunities in partnership with North America's most credible consumer-facing celiac organizations, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) in the USA and the Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) in Canada.
Eurofins Food Safety Systems is recognized for its efforts and capabilities in the field of food safety audits. As a certification body licensed to audit in the GFSI benchmarked food safety standards, Eurofins provides value added assessments to manufacturers on a global basis. Participation in this program is another example of Eurofins' food safety expertise and commitment to brand protection. The Gluten-Free Certification Program is an effective, proactive solution to help prevent recalls and retain customer trust.
"We are thrilled to partner with ACG to provide GFCP Audits to our customers", said Eurofins' Food Safety Systems Director, Gary Smith. "This partnership will help the food industry verify their food safety programs, label claims, and meet the customer requirements being placed upon them."
Paul Valder, President of the Allergen Control Group Inc. (ACG), the owners of the GFCP, believes that "this partnership with Eurofins will provide industry with value and increased customer service by providing more capabilities to bundle food safety audit services together with the GFCP." Industry will also benefit from increased knowledge, by implementing preventative measures, identifying manufacturing deficiencies and documenting corrective actions, addressing effective gluten controls. A recognized GFCP facility has proven it is capable of managing the risk for potential cross contamination, in products carrying a "gluten-free" label claim. Any manufacturer who provides safe, reliable, gluten-free assurances in a complex regulatory landscape and who can also meet the "special dietary needs" for celiac and gluten sensitive consumers, will win brand protection and customer loyalty.

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's parliament voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to allow the arrest of one of its members accused of conspiracy to overthrow the government and introduce a North Korean-style regime.
Lee Seok-ki, of the far-left United Progressive Party, is under investigation for plotting to overthrow the government and inciting followers to subversion.
Lee, a former student activist, and his party, which has six of 298 seats in parliament, have accused the country's spy agency of targeting Lee to try to divert attention from a domestic political scandal.
"The NIS has been conducting a medieval witch-hunt with the ominous charge of conspiracy to commit treason against me," Lee said before the vote, referring to the National Intelligence Service.
Authoritarian and impoverished North Korea and the rich, democratic South are technically still at war after their 1950-53 civil conflict ended with a truce, not a treaty.
The South Korean Justice Ministry, which is seeking Lee's arrest, said it was conducting a legitimate criminal investigation based on evidence and Lee's conduct at a meeting in May where he made a call to arms to prepare for war.
"Its platform says they will be working to revolutionize the South Korean society under the guiding ideology of Juche," Justice Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn said, referring to North Korea's state ideology that merges Marxism and extreme nationalism.
South Korean media said Lee, a former student activist who has been previously convicted under the country's anti-communism law, and his party had plotted to sabotage communications networks and oil refineries.
The party denies the allegations.
Critics of the government probe have accused President Park Geun-hye of resorting to the same tools that her father, Park Chung-hee, used to eliminate dissent when he ruled the country with an iron hand in a drive to build an industrial economy.
