Maybe you are trying to kick the soda or coffee habit and need something to substitute. Of course, water is the best option. However, being real, we all like to have something besides water now and again. Here are a few suggestions:
Nuun Hydration Tabs – Get a burst of flavor with added vitamins and electrolytes. Some variations even have caffeine added, a great sub for multiple cups of coffee a day.
Mineral Water – Sparkling mineral water can help you kick the soda habit. If you like the carbonation that soda provides, this may mimic that feeling. Mineral water has the added benefit of the minerals found in the water aiding in your digestion.
Kombucha – a new favorite of mine! Yes, this does sound a little like a hippie in a bottle. However, it's sweetened tea with beneficial probiotics for gut health, immune boosting properties, aids in digestion, helps to detoxify your system and it tastes great!

The last 12 months has seen a swing away from small biomass systems (sub 200 kW), to centralised 995 kW systems using a variety of fuel sources. As the RHI tariffs reduce, fuel costs are again becoming very relevant with fuels such as straw, waste wood and poultry litter being installed.
As well as the more mainstream wood chip and pellet, we also have solutions for designs incorporating litter burning, CHP, heat recovery, heat pumps and underfloor heating. The options and modelling can become complex, please speak to us early in the design stage so that we can help you evaluate what might be the best solution for you.

Life is doing that being hectic thing again. Currently it is zooming along at a thousand miles an hour; I never imagined that living in the woods would make life more hectic. I somehow imagined it would be all lazing by the fire, watching the stars and all that kind of thing. What with, writing the blog and trying to organise the trip to Ecuador and attempting to start three, it was three at the last count anyway, businesses in the hope that one of them will finance the trip life has got pretty busy. Now that the end of the year is here I'm starting to get lots of requests for interviews and dealing with them is taking up yet more time. Oh and I have a job, that is pretty busy at the moment as well. So time is of a premium at the moment, I hardly get a moment and unfortunately I haven't been able to keep writing as much as I would have liked to of late.
Key events
Went to collect Sloe Gin from Rob, found not a lot of Sloe Gin left, that which there was is absolutely lethal.
Due to my working out of town on Monday and Tuesday work put me up in a hotel on Monday night, apart from the place being rather dirty and unkempt it was surprisingly nice to sleep in a bed; a four poster no less. I was delighted to discover that 'Have I Got News For You' was on as this is my favourite program, better yet it was being presented by Jeremy Clarkson who is the presenter of my second favourite program. I got myself as comfortable as it is possible to be on a four poster bed (that's pretty comfortable) and entertained myself by not only watching the program but by turning the volume up and down via remote control! I fell asleep before I got the chance to use the electric kettle but not before I had had a long relaxing bath. By morning I felt like a new person, as though the bath and bed had conspired to wash away months of grime and hard living. I think the lie in until 7:30 also helped with my sense of well being. Having a shower before getting dressed was rather a nice change, as was having breakfast before I left for work. Getting to work and not having to go and get a shower before getting changed and eating breakfast at my desk was also a pleasure.
This morning I woke to the first pink light of the rising sun at around about five and lay there watching it for a while feeling uncomfortable and generally unhappy with my lot in life. An hour and a half later when I woke up again I didn't have time to feel sorry for myself, I had 10 minutes to get up get dressed, and run to the bus. Due to my injured shoulder I'm not carrying my rucksack about at the moment and for the last week I have been wearing trainers rather than big heavy boots for the first time in a year. For the first time in my life running was fun. Leaping over fallen tree trunks, ducking under branches avoiding trampling flowers, vaulting fences (perhaps stopping to catch my breath before clambering over fences would be closer to the truth). I got to the bus stop just as the bus arrived, which is the best time to arrive, feeling invigorated and happy. Life was good again, especially as there was hardly anyone on the bus and so there was a glut of complimentary bacon sandwiches.

Questions, comments, and problems with Zimbra on Apple desktops & general CalDAV / CardDAV questions.
connector versioning and compatability
Totally understandable, and we do listen. It's not on the support portal because it's still in QA. If a customer really needs it badly, they can e-mail. If not, then we generally recommend waiting for pre-release on the support portal (like we do with ZCO sometimes)
connector versioning and compatability
i'm using hosted zcs 4.10 -- and using the above connector on leopard and tiger just fine. I heard from Gray at 01.com that it is the last v5 isync connector that is backward compatible w/ ZCS 4.x. Hoping to have v5 zcs very soon!

Southbound motorists on Interstate 95 in Florida experienced delays and were rerouted after a multi-vehicle crash on a recent Sunday night. According to the Highway Patrol, the accident involved 26 vehicles and occurred shortly before 10:45 p.m. The pileup claimed the life of one and injured 13 other people. This tragedy may give rise to a wrongful death lawsuit as well as a number of personal injury claims.
A preliminary accident report indicates that an earlier crash on southbound I-95 caused traffic to back up. Allegedly, a big rig driver paid no attention to the traffic that had piled up ahead and failed to stop. The tractor-trailer smashed into the stationary vehicles, causing a chain of crashes in front and behind it. In the end, there were three commercial vehicles involved and 23 passenger vehicles.
An 18-year-old high school student did not survive the crash. No details about the 13 injured victims were made available. Road closures in the area lasted until 7 a.m. on Monday. During the closure of I-95, all traffic was detoured through Yulee in Nassau County.
While the surviving family members of the young man that lost his life may pursue claims for financial relief through the civil justice system in Florida, determining who was at fault in a multi-car crash can be challenging. For that reason, they may find that the support and guidance of an attorney who is experienced in the navigation of wrongful death lawsuits can make the process considerably easier. The lawyer can assist with establishing negligence and determining who to name as defendants, before presenting documented claims for financial and emotional damages to the court.

What is Spot Forex
Spot Forex trading occupies one third chunk of the mammoth foreign exchange buying and selling being pulled off across the globe. It is constituted of two tiers. Two day delivery time is imposed by this forex market to accommodate the movement of cash through the trading banks.
First of the two tiers of the trading is interbank market. Here the buying and selling of foreign currencies for settlement and delivery is done within a maximum of two days and the participating banks act as wholesalers. The second tier is the speculative retail market which is suffused with private traders who carry out their business through the internet or over telephone with the aid of brokers.
The spot forex market does not have a centralized exchange in the line of stock exchanges with the entire trade being done over the counter. The currency exchange rates are noted down to four decimal places except yen.
Bid offer spread in the spot forex market is the difference between the ask price (price at which currencies are bought) and the bid or selling price. The spread is denoted in the format of GBP/USD = 1.6240/45 which indicates that the GBP has a bid price of 1.6240 USD against the ask price of 1.6245 with a spread of 5 points.
The pairings done with American dollar are called majors. Cross refers to the pairing made between non US currencies, but the consistency of exchange rates is maintained across all pairs in spot forex trading.
The fundamental trading unit in spot forex exchange is called a 'lot', which essentially is made up of 100000 base currency units. Retail investors are not required to deposit the entire lot to execute a trade. The buyer needs to deposit a 'margin' which will enable the investor in gearing up the trade's magnitude to institutional level.
The underlying trade's value customarily determines the margin in spot forex trade and it hovers around 1-5% of the value. The denomination of currency is a function of the brokerage through which the trade is executed.
Purchasing a currency means being 'long' in that currency whereas selling a currency means being 'short' in spot forex trade. An ongoing trade is indicated by open position in spot forex, wherein the value fluctuation will occur as per prevailing market exchange rates. Opposite and equal trade is to be conducted in the same currency group to 'close out' the open position in spot forex trade.

The ver. 2.0.0 patch is now available for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which has finally made Piranha Plant playable, added multiplayer support for the Spirit Board, and made it easier to perform short hops (they now get their own button press!).
The most exciting aspect of the 2.0.0 patch, though, is that it brought some badly needed balance changes to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in the form of buffs and nerfs for different characters.
PREVIOUSLY: Smash Ultimate Is The Most Unbalanced Game In The Series At Launch - Here's Why
We are here today to see which characters have been influenced the most by the latest patch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
King K. Rool (Nerfed)
King K. Rool has been hit hard by the latest patch, but perhaps not hard enough, as his crown is still OP and needs changing.
The 2.0.0 patch has shortened the length of K. Rool's vacuum attack, meaning that it can't be used to edgeguard from a safe distance, which is a huge game changer.
K. Rool's recovery move has also lost some of its vertical lift, making it far less safe for him to leave the stage, while the burial duration of his down throw has been decreased at lower percentages.
PREVIOUSLY: Smash Ultimate Piranha Plant/All-Star Mode Glitch Might Corrupt Your Save File
The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online modes have been filled with K. Rool mains since the game was released, and it's good to see him taken down a few pegs in terms of power.
Jigglypuff (Buffed)
Jigglypuff has always been a difficult character to master, and an easy one to send flying. If you can figure out Jigglypuff's floaty jumps and sleep-inducing moves, then you may have a strong character on your hands.
Jigglypuff has seen several buffs to his attack power and speed in the ver. 2.0.0 patch. The speed buff to Jigglypuff's back air will be especially useful, due to how effective that move can be when attacking opponents further away from the stage.
Duck Hunt Duo (Nerfed)
Duck Hunt badly needed some buffs, but Masahiro Sakurai decided to kick the dog while he was down and take some stuff away.
Not only is the Clay Pigeon more punishable than before, but the hitstun time for when it hits has been reduced, making it a lot harder to chain together Clay Pigeon shots, which was one of the few benefits of playing Duck Hunt in Ultimate.
One benefit that the Duck Hunt Duo gained from the latest patch is that they can more quickly act out of using the Trick Shot, but that move is already far less effective in Ultimate due to how the game is much faster and it's easier for other characters to avoid the can's trajectory.
Bowser (Buffed)
Bowser saw an increase in speed in Ultimate, which has made up for his lack of ranged moves and turned him into a truly competitive fighter.
Bowser didn't really need any more buffs to his strength and launch distance, but the creators of the game felt he needed some, so several of Bowser's physical attacks are better and his recovery move is more likely to hit multiple times.
Luigi (Nerfed)
The changes to Luigi's throw in Ultimate led a lot of fans to believe that he had been nerfed in the jump from 3DS/Wii U, but it didn't take long for a 0% to KO combo to be discovered, which involved knocking the enemy into the ground when they hadn't taken any hits yet.
Luigi's down air no longer has meteor qualities, which was meant to remove the 0% to KO combo. Some fans who have discovered other ways of accomplishing the combo, but it's not as reliable as it was before the patch.
Sheik (Buffed)
Sheik saw some nerfs in the jump from 3DS/Wii U to Ultimate, and her combo game wasn't as good as before.
It seems that the Ultimate team has realized that they may have taken away too much from Sheik, as the 2.0.0 patch has increased the range & speed of some of her physical attacks and made a few of her aerials and specials safer to use.
Peach & Daisy (Nerfed)
Daisy and Peach were pegged for being two of the best characters in Ultimate by professional players who were impressed by their amazing aerial and combo game.
The recovery move used by both Daisy and Peach in Ultimate (the Daisy Parasol and Peach Parasol) now has a shorter launch distance for repeated attacks, which has weakened one of their best aerial KO moves, even though it can still be effective when only used once.
Chrom (Nerfed)
Chrom is a divisive character among Ultimate pros, with some loving the incredible speed and safety of his attacks, while others think he is trash because of how vulnerable he is off the stage.
Chrom has lost one of his match-stealing moves: dragging down the enemy into a suicide move with his up special will now always result in Chrom losing a stock first, which prevents him from using the move to win when both players are on their final stock.
Rosalina & Luma (Buffed)
Rosalina & Luma was one of the most feared characters in 3DS/Wii U, or at least they were until the DLC characters pushed them down a few spaces on the tier list.
Rosalina & Luma took a hit in Ultimate, but they have been brought back up to speed with the latest patch, improving almost all of her moves. Rosalina and Luma may be the most improved character overall.
King Dedede (Nerfed)
King Dedede had been improved in the jump from 3DS/Wii U to Ultimate, but he's still outclassed by the other heavies in the game (most notably Donkey Kong and King K. Rool), so Dedede could really have used some help.
The developers of Ultimate seem to have felt differently, as King Dedede's Gordo now has a smaller hitbox, which has made his best stalling/off-stage attack less effective in a game where it was already too easy to reflect.
Mii Brawler (Buffed)
The official patch notes for the Mii Brawler were frustratingly vague when it came describing the buffs it received, as the Mii characters have a selection of moves to choose from and the patch notes didn't specify which ones were made stronger.
The Mii Brawler has seen several benefits in the latest patch, such as the Head-on Assault dealing a lot more damage to shields, the Feint Jump Kick is more powerful, the Exploding Side Kick being safer and easier to act out of, and its now easier to grab the ledge after using the Soaring Axe Kick.
Inkling (Nerfed)
The Inkling has been the terror of the Ultimate online mode largely thanks to the Splat Roller's powerful burial effect. In the latest patch, the burial time has been significantly reduced at lower percentages.
The Inkling is still a fearsome character, even with a weakened Splat Roller, but at least one of their moves is now far less frustrating than before.
Incineroar (Buffed)
Incineroar has some cool gimmicks, but his lack of movement speed in such a fast-paced game and his poor recovery have made him a very vulnerable character to choose in Ultimate.
The 2.0.0 patch has strengthened Incineroar's up smash and up throw, but the real benefit to Incineroar's arsenal is that his recovery move has its horizontal and vertical reach extended, which will make him much safer to use in off-stage situations.

- Live demonstration of a complete Koenig & Bauer packaging workflow with flat-bed die-cutter and folder-gluer
- Autonomous printing with AutoRun in medium and large formats
- Rapida LiveApps in practice
- Breakout sessions: High-volume and luxury packaging production
On 20th and 21st May, Koenig & Bauer invited print professionals from all over the world to an open house spotlighting the potential for digital transformation and data-driven services in packaging printing under the motto "Koenig & Bauer 4.0 – Packaging Printing & Connected Services" (see also Press Release 031/2019).
The open house picked up the thread of a customer event held under the same name last year. For the first time, it was now possible to show the complete process chain for packaging production in a live demonstration – from creation of the jobs in the MIS, via printing and die-cutting through to completion of the folding cartons. Koenig & Bauer has thus positioned itself as a one-stop partner for all the needs of this growth market.
As participants in a panel discussion, Stefan Segger (Koenig & Bauer Digital & Webfed), Dr. Peter Lechner (Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica), Franc Freixes (Koenig & Bauer Iberica), Markus Müller (Koenig & Bauer Coding) and Pinar Kucukaras (Koenig & Bauer Duran) provided key information on their current technology solutions for packaging printing.
The visitors were subsequently able to follow the definition of pharmaceuticals packaging jobs in Optimus Dash. In addition to the basic job data, this involved also specification of the substrates and coatings, the required quantities of different product versions, the corresponding die-cutting formes and much more besides. All process steps through to incorporation into the production schedule were shown live. One key benefit of Optimus Dash is a packaging module with which production jobs, including die-cutting, can be created automatically. The result is a fully imposed PDF.
Live packaging printing and conversion
A six-colour Rapida 105 PRO with inline coater was on hand for the print production. After plate changing, inking of the rollers and automatic register correction, the press produced several print jobs fully autonomously in an AutoRun process. In other words, it switched automatically between production and makeready upon completion of each job in the defined sequence. The operator simply selected the job list, which was then processed as a whole without any further intervention.
Dirk Winkler, head of print technology at Koenig & Bauer Sheetfed, used the time freed up by the autonomous process to explain the underlying quality control concept and to present the Rapida LiveApps. The ErgoTronicApp can be viewed as a mobile console which provides access to the full scope of press functions. The operator can call up all relevant information from the press on a mobile device, for example job data, production times, press status messages and maintenance reminders, including help texts describing the tasks to be completed. With the ProductionApp, on the other hand, it is possible to manage store room inventories and track consumables batches. Even retrospectively, the app provides a precise overview of which print jobs were produced with which batches of substrates, inks and other consumables.
After printing, the sheets were passed directly to the Ipress 106 K PRO for die-cutting, creasing and stripping. Folding and gluing, finally, was handled by an Omega Allpro 110. The visitors were thus able to convince themselves that the promise of high speeds also applies to post-press processes, and were for the first time able to take home a finished folding carton.
Breakout sessions on high-volume and luxury packaging production
Two breakout sessions were devoted to new solutions for the printing and finishing of both high-volume and luxury packaging. Alongside, experts from Koenig & Bauer and Optimus offered detailed information on MIS solutions for the applications concerned.
For the high volume session, production was assigned to a brand new Rapida 145 whose extensive feature list included a high-speed package for printing outputs up to 18,000 sheets/hr, AutoRun, DriveTronic SPC, SFC, SRW and VariDry dryer systems of the latest generation. It produced three typical but very different food and non-food packaging jobs at maximum speed – in an autonomous process and with non-stop pile changes. Low-migration inks were used.
A seven-colour Rapida 106 coater press then repeated production of the packaging from the morning demonstration, though now using Extended Gamut Printing with seven colours in an Esko Equinox workflow. It was thus possible to make a direct comparison between the folding cartons produced with standard and spot colours. The quality and colour reproduction were found to be identical.
Visitors who chose to attend the luxury packaging session were again able to witness a complete process chain: A six-colour Rapida 106 in a double-coating configuration printed one job with opaque white, LED-UV inks, UV coating and a micro-embossing effect applied through the second coating tower, and a second with UV adhesive, cold foil application, LED-UV inks and high-gloss UV coating. These jobs were subsequently embossed, creased, cut, scored and stripped on the rotary die-cutter Rapida RDC 106. The individual blanks, finally, were separated on a Laserck Master Blanker.
The print professionals who came to Radebeul returned home after exciting days packed with a wealth of new information, and must now decide which processes and know-how they will be implementing in their own companies. Certain, however, is that they will soon be experiencing many of the new automation and service tools introduced during the open house in their regular communication with Koenig & Bauer.

A chairde, we're looking for some help with this one. As some of you may well know we're planning a plaque unveiling for James Connolly here in Charlemont Street. We're also planning another plaque unveiling for the civilians killed around the area too from 1916-1920. If possible, we would like to track down any living relatives to ask them for their support, inquire their thoughts into this endeavour, and invite them along to any ceremonies we have planned.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Their names are:
1. Annie O'Neil, 8 years old.
2. Christopher Cathcart, 10 years old.
3. Michael Cullen, 20 years old & Eileen Hendric, 19 years old.
1. Annie O'Neil: On the 13th of November 1920 an 8 year old girl was shot dead by a British Army officer as he, with another Officer, chased some young men they had challenged. Annie O'Neill was playing outside her house when the incident happened. Annie's mother, hearing the shots, ran outside and picked up her daughter. Newspaper reports on the shooting differ as to weather Annie was dead when her mother reached her or her mother had taken her inside the house before realising she was dead. Annie was buried in Dean's grange Cemetery, her grave is unmarked.
2. Christopher Cathcart (10), 28 Charlemont Street. He was killed on Easter Monday. He died at Portobello barracks and death cert states – "probably haemorrhage from a gunshot wound". His father Patrick was a coachbuilder. In the 1911 census his family of 11 shared the 6 roomed house with 3 other families – 27 people. His niece Mary tells me that he was shot dead in crossfire at Portobello Bridge. He had gone to play in Palmerston Park in Ranelagh that morning. Work was sent for him to come home immediately as the Rising had started – but he rambled off on his own and was accidentally shot.
3. Michael Cullen & Eileen Hendric: On Monday the 2nd of March 1920 at 9.30pm 120 soldiers of the Royal Berkshire Regiment were returning from a performance at the theatre, the soldiers were singing Rule Britannia and God Save the King, when they were attacked by a hostile crowd on South Richmond Street Dublin.
A man and a woman were killed by revolver shots and another man was injured by a bullet wound in the wrist. One soldier was shot through the chest and four soldiers wounded by missiles. The two dead civilians were taken to the Meath Hospital, they were identified as:
Eilen Hendrick aged 19 of Francis Street. It had previously been believed that the dead girls name was Margaret Dowling.
Michael Cullen aged 20 a van driver from Charlemont Mall, Charlemont Street, Dublin

Hi, everyone. Thanks to the archaeology department for all that you've taught me. Go, class of 2617! My excavation of an ancient condo — long thought to belong to my ancestors — revealed some unexpected findings that dispute the persisting idea that they were wealthy. I'll get right to my slides.
Among our most disturbing discoveries? Antique world maps. To what low level of society must my ancestors have sunk to have lost access to GPS, which we understand to have been nearly universal at that time? You can see here that someone has scrawled "Wanderlust" across one of the maps: confusing, as the omnipresence of takeout bags indicates that my ancestors never left their house, much less the country.
One thing is certain: They were resourceful. What they couldn't afford to buy — practically everything — they built. Here, they've fashioned a coat rack out of a tree stump. Here, a cheese grater has been painted teal and used as a jewelry organizer. Here, a cinder block serves as a nightstand.
Don't pity my ancestors, though. Evidence suggests they were a proud people. We observed that the top drawer of the bedside dresser was painted a dark green, the middle drawer a lighter green and the lowest drawer an almost white green, probably because the family ran out of paint and could not afford more.
And yet they persisted. Based on our study of their notes and Pinterest tags, we believe they even had an ancient word for this determination in the face of all obstacles: "ombre."
You can see in this slide that their furniture is made almost entirely from shipping pallets. The extensive use of pallets — here's one, in the living room, and here's another acting as a bed frame — leads me to conclude that they must have lived near a shipyard. Perhaps they worked long hours on the docks, or a kindly shipment manager felt pity and let them have worn pallets at a discount, the way bakeries do with day-old bread.
My ancestors apparently suffered from short-term memory loss. Reminders of everyday tasks are scribbled all over the apartment. A pillow — a sleeping pillow? — simply says, "Dream." A sign in the kitchen states, "But first, coffee." And, bewilderingly, the command "Be" is scrawled in red lipstick on the bathroom mirror. Their cognitive impairments were evidently such that they required daily reminders just to exist.
Why? Literacy must have been at an all-time low. Books are present in the dwelling, but they appear to be primarily a device for learning colors — see how they are arranged not by subject or author but by the colors of their spines. The only book that shows any sign of use is "Infinite Jest": the first 85 pages look as if they've been read no fewer than six times, but the rest of the book remains untouched, even though remnants of an online dating profile we found claimed that it was the apartment owner's favorite book.
Flora and fauna in these photographs indicate that my ancestors lived in an arid climate, probably the desert. In this series, you'll notice succulents and cactuses alike. Scientists have only recently discovered that succulents thrive best when perched precariously on a stack of vintage gardening books, but my ancestors clearly already knew this. Isn't that how it often goes? They may not have had book learning, but they had street smarts.
Perhaps most chilling to our modern sensibilities is the skull and horns of some great beast — a deer buck? — mounted above their fireplace. It's been painted a matte white, likely for sanitary reasons. Were my ancestors hunter-gatherers, or did they eke out a living on a taxidermist's pay? I am inclined to say both.
These discoveries should reshape the way we view the economic ecosystem of not only a single family living in a three-bedroom condo in the 2000s, but also, perhaps, all upper-middle-class white people. I know I'll never look at my ancestors the same way, understanding now the struggles they faced.

La Patrie en Danger 1814
La Patrie en Danger contains five battles from the opening phase of the Campaign in France. Napoleon has just arrived at the front. At their first encounter the French surprised Blucher's Prussians and Russians during a snowstorm. The Battle of Brienne was a short-lived success, however, for just two days later the Prussians triumphed at La Rothiere and wrote-off the enemy as a spent force, advancing hell-for-leather across the Marne and onto the highway to Paris. Ten days later Napoleon seized his opportunity when Marshal Vorwarts allowed his advancing columns to get dispersed and defeated in detail, in rapid succession in three short sharp combats.
Brienne Unskilled Fury, 29-30 January.
The raw conscripts under Napoleon and Ney chased the Russians and Prussians from the town. Bluucher himself was almost captured.
La Rothiere A Defeat on French Soil, 1 February.
Reinforced with troops from the Army of Bohemia, Blucher was ready to fight again. Napoleon, not realizing the enemy's overwhelming superiority, advanced. At Noon Blucher attacked, taking 54 guns and inflicting 6,000 French casualties.
Champaubert, 10 February.
Marmont ran into an isolated corps of 3.900 Russians commanded by Olsufief. Marmont attacked and dispersed the Russian corps, capturing its commander.
Montmirail, 11 February.
Mortier pinned down Yorck and Kleist's Prussians to the front, while Napoleon separated Sacken's Russians from their allies, sending them streaming back towards Chateau Thierry.
Vauchamps, 14 February.
Marmont held Blucher's Prussians in check while Napoleon made a flank march through the mud, sending Grouchy's cavalry round to the rear to cut their retreat to Chalons.
The Thursday Night Gamers decided to get in on OSG's play test of their newest game in the Library of Napoleonic Battles series: La Patrie en Danger. After an evening of printing maps, cutting out counters and setting up, we dove into the mini-campaign. Champaubert-Montmirail-Vauchamps., February 10-14, 1814. Watch the Video at the right.
Replays for Boardgamegeek below.
At the start of the scenario Blucher and Olsufiev with IX Corps occupy the Brienne itself. VI Corps is busy marching south in road mode (move at ½ mp per road hex, but spread out) in obedience to a march order, which can only be stopped by Blucher or Sacken (the Russian Commander Officer) giving the corps commander, or individual units a direct order. One problem Blucher has is the weather – rain and mud – so the VI Corps artillery, at the end of the column and north of the town, will move at half speed. To the south of La Rothière is XI Corps – but they will not move unless the French attack them.
To the north-east lie the enemy – the Guard Cavalry (Nansouty), the Young Guard (Ney) and V Cavalry Corps (Milhaud); II Corps (Victor) is in the woods to the west. Napoleon and Grouchy command the French. Their problems are twofold; it is raining which means hidden units are only revealed when you move next to them, not when three hexes away, and with the battle starting at 3pm there are five turns to achieve a victory. So a cautious advance is not an option.
The French advanced on the town, although Victor's Corps was out of command range and did not move under initiative. The Guard Cavalry and Young Guard forced the Russians in the north-east to retreat. The Russians counter-attacked the cavalry (shades of Minden), but were driven back. Blucher also stopped the VI Corps artillery on its march south.
By mid afternoon (4pm) the French assault was still driving back the Russians and two brigades of the 15th Division were destroyed. But this time the Russian counterattacks threw the French back, and in the case of the Guard cavalry routed them. Sacken raced south to bring the rest of VI Corps back, some more of whose units had come within three hexes of enemy units which cancelled their march order.
The French pressure continued; the Russians to the north of the town were eliminated, demoralising IX Corps. To the east Victor had brought up II Corps, but their initial attacks were driven back by Russian VI Corps units. As night fell (6pm) the Young Guard and II Corps broke into the east of the town.
II Corps units to the south east were temporarily thrown back, but renewed assaults before midnight destroyed the Russian units outside the town. This was due to the VI Corps artillery being lost in diversionary attack on Baste's Young Guard division;, Baste advancing into the rear of the Russian units to block their retreat from the French attacks next turn. In the town the Russians were not strong enough to evict the French and the French did not have the power to break through to the Chateaux. The Allies in the town were cut off; VI Corps was coming up from the south, but French reinforcements approached from north and the east.

Re: What is the best route to get certified on NPM and SAM?rschroeder Mar 5, 2019 3:17 PM (in response to the_ben_keen)2 of 2 people found this helpful
Here are some ideas and links that should help you on the path to become a Solarwinds Certified Professional:
- Read and understand the topics in these links, including the videos: SolarWinds Certified Professional - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
- Search the Thwack forum for CSP--Solarwinds Certified Professional. You'll find links and resources that cover everything on the tests.
- Use NPM and SAM as a primary administrator. Open the links and options up for each page, learn what they do. Build typical test scenarios for you or your team and practice them. For example, learn how to add a node, how to set pollers for that node. How to add a new user to NPM as a plain user, or as an administrator. How to adjust views or create custom view. There's nothing like having to do it to learn how to do it--and then being able to understand the tests' questions and answer them correctly.
- Build up Thwack points and use them to obtain test opportunities instead of spending cash of your company or your own.
- Reach out to SolarWinds experts and staff and discuss training opportunities like this one from last spring: SOLARWINDS ACADEMY: SCP STUDY HOURS
- Review this information, see what is there that you don't yet know: Updated SolarWinds Certified Professional Program (Updated July 12th 2017)
- Set up and update several SolarWinds servers. If you don't have licenses, you can access each of the products and access their 30-day trial licenses that are free to download and install. Start here: https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/home
- Keep asking questions. Contribute to others' knowledge and become experienced with each product. Learning how to install them is one part, but learning how to USE them and administer them is the biggest part.
Swift packets!

Maintenance Requirements For Your Commercial Fire Extinguishers
You'll hopefully never have to use a fire extinguisher in your building, but you never know when you'll need one. That's why it's important to make sure all the fire extinguishers are operational and ready to grab if a fire breaks out. Your business will need to comply with local fire regulations and that probably include monthly inspections of all the extinguishers on your property. You will need to keep written records of inspections and service of your extinguishers too. Here's a look at the inspections that are required.
Monthly Inspections Are Quick Checks
You may want to have your fire extinguishers maintained by an outside company. A fire extinguisher professional will need to attend to any problems that develop and perform service on the extinguishers, so you may want them to perform the inspections as well. Whether they do it or if your maintenance staff does it, it's important to perform the inspections monthly and keep a written record of the event. Fire extinguishers usually have tags on them for this purpose. If your building is inspected by the fire marshal, the tags will be checked to make sure you've been keeping up with inspections.
A monthly inspection is fairly simple. It makes sure the extinguisher is where it should be and that it is mounted with the instructions facing out. The pin and seal are checked to make sure the extinguisher has not been used. The gauge is checked for pressure in the proper range and the extinguisher is lifted to make sure it isn't empty. The inspection tag and expiration date are noted. If it has been over a year since the extinguisher had a comprehensive check by a professional, then the extinguisher should be serviced right away.
The extinguisher itself is checked as well for signs of rust or dents. If everything looks okay, the inspection tag is marked with the date, and the extinguisher is good for another month. If a problem is found, the extinguisher should be switched out with a new one until the problem is fixed.
More Comprehensive Inspections Are Required Annually
Even though you inspect your extinguishers monthly, you still need to have them undergo a more thorough inspection once each year. The extinguisher is pressure tested and weighed at this time. The pin is pulled and resealed. The body of the extinguisher is checked for signs of wear. If the extinguisher passes the inspection, a new tag is put on and the monthly inspections resumed.
Full Service Is Required At Set Intervals
Different types of fire extinguishers need a complete overhaul on different intervals. It might be every 5-12 years. During this inspection, the extinguisher is emptied so it can be examined more closely. This involves looking at all parts as well as the inside of the canister. If no problems are found, the extinguisher is refilled and put back into service. Some extinguishers may be retired at the end of their time rather than serviced.
Keeping up with fire extinguisher maintenance is a big chore when you have many extinguishers in your building, but the work can be coordinated and completed without disruption by a service company. Having fire extinguishers you can count on keeps your employees safer and protects your inventory, and it can also save you from fines due to fire code violations. Contact a service, like Tri County Fire Protection, for more help.

When it comes to sophisticated and intelligently-designed online shooters, DICE has proven that they know what they're doing. Not just with Battlefield 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2, but the online component of EA's Medal of Honor as well. No one can question the franchise's PC roots with Battlefield, but with the extra focus placed on single-player story with Bad Company 2, it's difficult to know what to expect from DICE's next project: Battlefield 3.
With the latest leaked GDC footage of the game showing serious time has been spent on the campaign, it's hard to know exactly where the multi-player and PC experience will fit in the overall product.
Wonder no more, as DICE's General Manager Karl Magnus Troedssen has confirmed that the developers haven't forgotten their roots one bit. With Battlefield 3, the team is building from the online multi-player out, and giving the PC version of the game some much-needed attention.
The balance between single-player campaigns and online multi-player is becoming a serious challenge for plenty of developers.
The increase in narrative quality that military shooters have experienced over the past few years has shown that a campaign can be a rewarding experience, so a game without one can seem like a lost opportunity.
On the other hand, adding a completely well-designed and bug-free online component is a tall order. The task is one which could merit the attention of an entire development team all by itself, so the challenge of a game like Battlefield 3 is practically making two games side-by-side.
While that issue may lead to a crisis of overall direction for some, Troedssen made it clear in an interview with Shacknews that they know exactly what audience they're aiming at, and what kind of an experience Battlefield 3 needs to be:
"I would argue our games, this game and the other games we've worked on with single-player, that the core of the game is online. That's where the franchise was born and it's going to keep being like that. The idea, actually, is that we want a bigger proposition. We want to introduce more people to the game. People like to play offline and then perhaps try out the online part of the game.
"We wanted to add more components to the game. We want to introduce more people to the Battlefield franchise. That's why with Bad Company we introduced single-player, that's why we've been trying out co-op now with Bad Company 2. Now, with Battlefield 3, we have these components coming together to just have a big blockbuster proposition."
The developers have proven that they're designing a new level of perfection in PC graphics, which is a nice thing to hear if you play a majority of your games with a mouse and keyboard. It's common knowledge that custom-made PCs are capable of pushing graphics even further than consoles, and DICE is looking to cover all of their bases by delivering not only the best looking PC game ever, but bringing next-gen gaming to current consoles.
Even with sights set so high for the Xbox 360 and PS3, the developers of Battlefield 3 know that they may have strayed from their PC roots in the past few years. Troedssen promises that their previous games aren't a sign of things to come, and will be giving the PC even more love than ever before:
"I felt that we had, maybe, set PC aside a bit too much. I've said this publicly before, we were very unhappy that we were not able to get a PC version out of Battlefield: Bad Company. It was down to sheer manpower, or lack thereof. We felt that we couldn't just bring out the Frostbite engine, and bring the game to consoles, and get the PC version out. We just failed there. It's something that we regret but it was a pure fact that we were faced upon.
"PC gamers are probably the most hardcore players we have out there. Sure, online gameplay has been on the rise on the Xbox 360 and PS3. There are a lot of hardcore online players there too. But on PC? That's our core audience."
Pleasing the hardcore fanbase is all well and good, but with Battlefield 3's stunningly realistic combat, we all want to know how it will manage to go toe-to-toe with Call of Duty. The developers have explained their need to create the brand new Frostbite 2 engine to achieve the amount of innovation they seek.
Those who played Bad Company 2 know just how much time DICE spent on mastering and refining destructible environments. Troedssen expressed his belief that the addition didn't just differentiate themselves from their competitors, but changed the way players interacted with eachother in a fundamental way.
For Battlefield 3, the team is going one step further. Players will now be facing the threat of their opponents blowing their cover to bits, while also experiencing major earthquakes that could potentially change the entire face of a battlefield. We can imagine how this could be of use in the single-player campaign, but the possibilities for multi-player are truly mind-blowing.
Even if the team is developing the game with a focus on multi-player, the single-player game won't be lacking any depth. Aside from the adrenaline-fueled gameplay and combat, Troedssen revealed that players will travel from Iraq to Paris, and even New York. They aren't giving any details on the story just yet, but they've obviously got something special in mind.
While the multi-player fans out there will be happy to hear that Battlefield 3 will unabashedly be an online game first, some fans of strong narratives and story might be disappointed. EA and DICE both have plenty of faith in Battlefield 3 though, so the campaign doesn't seem like it will be an afterthought.
We'll see how successful DICE's return to PC dominance turns out when Battlefield 3 is released for the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 this fall.

To many people "audit" sounds like a bad word. In this case we are just talking about taking a hard look at your Profile from time to time to make sure that it is as good as it can be.

Lately I've been paying attention to the commercials that are during shows we watch. This evening Scott decided to show us this new t.v. show on the network G-4. The show is called Ninja Warrior. Think of it as a mix between American Gladiator and the Most Extreme Challenge. Emily loves to scream at the athletes "DON'T FALL IN THE WATER!!!"
The commercials during the show are hilarious. First of all there were the variety of video games rated "M for Mature," and then there was the male enhancement pills and finally the commercial for cheap student loans. Finally, totally not fitting, was a commercial with Lindsay Wagner for a sleep number bed.
HUH? I don't get it. Who is the target audience here? I guess this network wouldn't expect me to be tuning in either.

Galatasaray's hopes of bringing Jason Denayer back from Manchester City for a third time were boosted late in the transfer window when the 23-year-old turned down a move to Leeds United.
According to Turkish portal Fotomac, the City defender was offered the chance to join Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds project, but turned down a move to Elland Road because he wants a return to Galatasaray, with whom he won the Turkish Süper Lig last season.
City are not short of interest in the 8-cap Belgium international, with former loan side Celtic the latest to be linked, but his insistence on returning to Galatasaray is complicating matters.
After four loan moves, the Blues want to sell Denayer for €10million (£9million) but frugal Galatasaray prefer him on a third loan deal, or potentially a cheaper permanent move.
It is reported that the Turkish champions are willing to wait until 31 August to get Denayer on their terms, and City may have to find a compromise unless they can convince Denayer to accept a move to another club after he rejected Leeds.
Denayer is under contract at the Etihad Stadium until June 2020 and is not a part of Pep Guardiola's plans, meaning an exit for the defender before all of Europe's transfer windows close is one of Txiki Begiristain's remaining priorities this summer.
Manchester City have launched the 2018/19 home kit!

With 3D-printing technology on the rise, obtaining a gun may now be as easy as downloading one within the privacy of your own home. To do so, an individual could simply find blueprints for a firearm online, enter the schematics into a 3D printer, and within a matter of days, he or she would have their hands on a fully-functional plastic gun. Policymakers all over the country have been working to prevent this "under the table" method of acquiring firearms, expressing concerns over the fact that no background check is required to download the blueprints and no serial number would exist to trace the gun in the event that it is used to commit a crime.
In 2013, Cody Wilson, owner of the company Defense Distributed, created what is believed to be the first fully 3D-printed gun. After Wilson successfully tested the gun, he uploaded the blueprints to his website so that they would be made publicly available to anyone who might wish to build one. Under the Obama administration, the State Department ordered that the blueprints be taken down, asserting that Wilson's publication of the blueprints constituted the exporting of weapons without a license. In 2015, Wilson sued the federal government, arguing that barring him from publishing the blueprints inhibited his First Amendment rights. When the case settled under the Trump administration in June 2018, Wilson was granted permission to move forward with publishing his 3D-printed gun blueprints beginning August 1, 2018.
Immediately following the announcement, nineteen states sued to block distribution of the blueprints. On July 31, 2018, US District Judge Robert Lasnik in Seattle issued a restraining order that halted Wilson's plans to release 3D-printed gun designs online. On August 27, 2018, Judge Lasnik granted a motion for a preliminary injunction and extended the previous restraining order. "The court finds that the irreparable burdens on the private defendants' First Amendment rights are dwarfed by the irreparable harms the states are likely to suffer if the existing restrictions are withdrawn and that, overall, the public interest strongly supports maintaining the status quo through the pendency of this litigation," Lasnik wrote.
On August 28, 2018, Wilson announced he would begin selling the blueprints directly to people who want them. According to the ruling, "[r]egulation under the (law) means that the files cannot be uploaded to the internet, but they can be emailed, mailed, securely transmitted, or otherwise published within the United States." Wilson said that while the preliminary injunction forbade him to share the files online for free, he interpreted the ruling as expressly allowing him to sell them. "Anyone who wants these files is going to get them. I'm gonna sell it to them, I'm gonna ship them. That began this morning," Wilson said. "That will never be interrupted. The free exchange of these ideas will never be interrupted."
Less than a month later, on September 25, 2018, Cody Wilson resigned from Defense Distributed after being detained and arrested in Taiwan. According to authorities, Wilson had fled the United States upon learning that he was being investigated for allegedly paying $500 to have sex with an underage girl in Austin, Texas. Wilson was subsequently deported back to the United States and is currently facing sexual assault charges. If found guilty, he faces up to twenty years in prison. Wilson has since been released on bail but has yet to issue a public statement on the matter. As of today, it is unclear how his resignation or the criminal charge will impact Defense Distributed and its role in the debate over 3D-printed guns.

This Is How Internet Ads Follow You Around
Internet ads are so invasive. I don't blame you for thinking that Facebook is listening to us talk. It's probably not, but the fact that ads pop up -for many people after simply talking about something near their phones- makes it all questionable. But Facebook definitely is helping ad networks track us across the internet and your apps. They follow us even when we're logged out, in incognito, using a different browser, or on a new device.
One important way is Facebook's trackers, which are embedded on any site that integrates Facebook "like" buttons, Facebook page widgets, or other social tools:
You're logged in to Facebook. You visit a website and it has Facebook's tracking pixel (or simply a 'Like' button) installed, which lets Facebook know you're there. Later on you visit Facebook, and your newsfeed contains adverts based on what you were looking at earlier
There are a few ways to minimize personalization. You can reset your phone's unique identifier:
You install an app on your phone, and then sign in to it using one of your online accounts. You guessed it: your device ID is now associated with that account. Later on you see ads based on your apps when you're using the account on your computer
N.B. Apple, Android and Windows mobile devices all let you disable or reset your device ID. This won't stop you seeing ads, but it will reduce the amount of personalisation that can follow you from one app to another
Unfortunately, we can't control all tracking—Facebook and Google can collect data on us even if we don't have an account, by scooping up our friends' phone contacts or by logging usual browser data. This is the kind of invasive tracking and data collection that prompted the European Union to recently enact GDPR. So all those "we've changed our privacy policy" emails are at least a good start.
Full Disclosure: We use Facebook comments for commenting :/

Warren Bailey
Internationally Recognized Instrument Maker and Restoration Expert
Warren Bailey is an internationally recognized instrument maker and restoration expert specializing in the violin family including violins, violas and cellos. His more than 15-year tenure in this unique vocation has been spent working for some of the world's most prestigious violin dealers, private owners, collectors and museums.
From his base in Victoria, Canada, Bailey repairs instruments from throughout the world most frequently from London and New York. Tradition rules in Bailey's practice, his trade philosophy is conservation, conservation, and conservation. He believes in restoring and maintaining an instrument to its full potential, and often works with instruments that are hundreds of years old. Collaborating on elite instrument makes such as Stradivarius, Del Gesu and Montagnana, Bailey makes a personal connection with the instrument's owner for each job. This includes traveling to receive the instruments he works on and personally delivering them back to the owner.
Always gifted when it came to working with his hands, British-born Bailey came to the profession first as a woodworker who designed and crafted furniture. He studied the making and repair of instruments in the violin family at England's Newark and Sherwood College. He began his career in restoration under the guidance of some of the most renowned dealers in the industry such as Florian Leonhard, J&A Beare and W.E. Hills & Sons of London. Bailey has had the honour of restoring instruments originally crafted by some of the fathers of the golden age of violin making such as Antonio Stradivari, G.B Guadagnini, Lorenzo Storioni and Gioffreddo Cappa.
Above all, Bailey feels fortunate to have found his calling. "Each instrument is beautiful and has its own personality," says Bailey. "The markings tell me a story of craftsmen who have worked on it in the past and I love to unlock the little secrets of its history." Bailey finds the more repair an instrument needs, the more satisfying the work.
Although he is not a musician himself, Bailey likes nothing more than to hear the instruments he has worked on played in concert once complete. Call it the sound of satisfaction; his work is finished when an instrument has been restored to its past greatness and an audience is mesmerized by the musician's song.

text: hey guys! So I've been looking lately at the Bad Cat Hot Cat 30- I really want to pick up a 2x12 because you can do so much with that amp it seems. Bad Cat's site claims "veritable Class A tone encyclopedia with tones ranging from chimey jangle to full-on distortion all enveloped in a sea of harmonic richness". I played it briefly and I could tell there were some great tones in there, you just need to spend some time dialing in. The linked channels, interactive EQ, and amount of Gain channel options excite me...just wanted to get some thoughts/comments from my favorite gear hounds. I'm not a fan of "fizzy" rectifier gain, I really like amps like the jcm800 and my Shiva that respond to picking and excel at medium gain. What my only complaint about the Shiva is is that I can't get a chimey overdrive...it's a dark amp. If you're looking to compare it to something, I already own a Bogner Shiva (EL-34) and my standard touring guitars are an LP Standard and a Standard Tele. Thanks guys!

This Christmas falls on the heels of the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States. It also is a day where citizens are enjoying the benefits of a healthy economy. Refer to the following links:
As the end of this day rapidly approaches it is my sincere wish that we find ourselves as Americans in an even better position on Christmas 2017. Only time will tell. In the Boston Museum of Natural History there was an exhibit called "The Clock." This exhibit counted down every hour of the day through a film that featured clocks, or wristwatches, or dialogue, or digital displays used in movies that many of us have seen to illustrate each second of the day. For example if we were seated in the room for the exhibit now we may witness Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man telling his brother that the time is 2:08 and that's the exact time right now.
The passing of time will reveal the kind of America we live in over the next four years. Some of us will prosper beyond belief while others…
If you're alive today that's a good thing! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and as Tiny Tim says in the Dickens' classic "A christmas Carol" : God bless us everyone!

– In harmony with mother Nature-
WE must BE the change we want so SEE in the world.
I have an organic farm at home, but beyond cultivating and eating organic it is also very important to minimize/eliminate trash in order to be in longterm harmony with mother earth. I was working as a volounteer in a reforestation project in India 15 years ago. In this place the volounteers where given handmade natural soaps and were asked to use only those for showering (and for hair only organic shampoos). I liked this idea and strict way because like this we did without effort no harm to the forest and could use the water for other purposes. This idea of not harming mother nature can be discussed for many other objects in our life. It needs a decision of everyone in person if we want to live conciously. Mostly it does not even mean a loss of comfort. Just changing some habits. It would be honourable for all humans to become a role model/ trendsetter for a Zero Waste lifestyle, so that we leave the earth at least how we entered it or even better.
EVERY single piece of pastic that has ever been created since the 19th century is still SOMEWHERE on our planet. So if It never goes away, where does it go? https://vimeo.com/42143924
Did you know that less than 5% of plastic in the world is actually recycled? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in 2008, 93% of plastic in the US that could have been recycled was thrown away. And those bottles with the redemption value? 62% were not recycled. Even if it does get recycled, most of it gets "down-cycled" and sent to developing countries like China, to create cheaper products. Basically, a single-use disposable plastic like a water bottle never returns as a water bottle again.
Here are small simple steps we can all take as consumers and humans, who share this beautiful environment.
REFUSE disposable plastic. There are actually 4 R's-REFUSE, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.
HELPING YOU MAKE PLASTIC FREE CHOICES, EVERY DAY. plastic Free – because i care.
The idea is to accelerate the adoption and everyday use of reusable products through offering and creating nice alteratives. Each of these products are designed to help you decrease your dependence on plastics, start a conversation about conservation, and support the idea of a plastic free lifestile. (I will widen de offer by time if you like the idea). We can contribute to the needed change. Together we can bring a safe and pollution free environment for the future. Everyone is welcome to bring ideas for needed products.
The first product is on its way : the soap! Its made with love and with natural incense which have benefic efects for our skin.
Use an organic soap instead of showergel. Its about not having the plastic trash of the bottles and also about the quality of the water we let behind and last but not least a good soap is love for your skin. There are so many lovely organic soaps enriched with herbs or flower fragrances. We have designed for you a handmade neemtree soap wrapped in a degradable packaging. Its good for your skin, lasts long, is lighter than a showergel, and makes a lovey soft foam.
Bring your own bag to the market or store. We associate grocery bags as something easy to bring, but many times we need it and we don't have it with us. So keep it folded in your handbag/rucksack, so you will always have it ready. It is of universal use. I have several of them which I use all through the week instead of plastic bags… for groceries, books, my waterbottle or to go coffee mug, lunch box….
Carry a reusable stainless steel water bottle instead of buying bottled water and install a filter at home. It can last a lifetime if cared for correctly.
Have you ever tasted bottled water after its been in your car, under the sun? You can practically taste the plastic. Not only is it gross, but if you carry your own bottle, you wont be drinking water with harmful toxins like Bisphenol-A (it leaches out from the plastic into the water). If you dont know what this means, watch the documentary…again.
A Pledge Against Plastic Bottles. Did you know that annual bottling plastics around the world today is polluting the oceans, killing 1.1 million marine creatures every year, and releasing 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and BPA chemicals into the atmosphere? A simple switch to steel bottles today can impact the future for generations. JUST SAY NO TO PLASTIC BOTTLES! TAKE YOUR PLEDGE
Advantages of Steel:
- It looks great
- High-quality food grade steel lasts long
- Cleans well and are dishwasher safe
- Electro polished interior retain freshness of the liquid
- Stops transference of odours
- Does not react with drinks
- Steel is sustainable
Disadvantages of plastic:
- Deteriorates within months
- Picks up odours
- Bacteria is less easy to wash out of plastic bottles
- BPA-free plastics can contain chemicals that behave in the same way as BPA
- Pollutes the environment, having a massive impact on the flora and fauna
- Is not sustainable
Use a recycable wooden Toothbrush.
Have a look at this wonderful little film! It says more than I can write here.
For me it's a daily joy to use it! Having wood instead of plastic in my hand….
Write us, what products do you miss? we would love to find a solution and make them available.
