There's national events for pies, cheese and chocolate - and now, the humble samosa is getting its own celebration, too!
National Samosa Week is being launched by the people behind the Leicester Curry Awards, and they want everyone to try these savoury delights during the event, which will run from April 9 to 13.
The small but mighty snack packs a punch and is a fried street food dish traditionally stuffed with a savoury filling, such as spiced potatoes, onion, peas or minced lamb.
Organisers are keen for people to organise get-togethers, where they can sell either homemade or shop-bought samosas, while raising money for charity.
On Monday, April 9, Chutney Ivy will open a pop-up shop outside the restaurant in Halford Street, where they will be selling their freshly made samosas for £1 each.
Also on Monday, April 9, Leicestershire Police will hold an event, which is open to the public, from 5pm until 7pm at the Philips Centre.
Proceeds will go to this year's Leicester Curry Awards charity partners Leicestershire Action for Mental Health Project (LAMP) and Care of Police Survivors (COPS).
Romail Gulzar, founder of National Samosa Week and the Leicester Curry Awards, says: "Leicester is the home of the Golden Mile and is the perfect place to kick off the event due to its thriving curry culture. What better way to do it than to give the attention to this popular street dish, loved by so many of us."
Although popular with the South Asian community, the triangle-shaped delicacy is said to originate from the Middle East and was eaten by travelling merchants.
It is likely that this is how the tasty parcels made their way to other parts of the world including India and Pakistan ultimately leading to the creation of the humble South Asian snack we know today.
The more-ish dish, can be found on curry menus all over the UK if not the world and have garnered an immense amount of popularity. The aim of the week-long event is to use it to draw attention to the rich culture and food heritage of South Asia.
Romail says: "We want to encourage people all over the UK to buy or make their own samosas this week and sell them at work to raise funds for our nominated charities. If you're feeling competitive, you could offer a prize for the best samosas. We think this could be the start of something really popular."
The organisers are currently looking for partners in various cities to help host the event nationally. If you can support the event, call 0845 500 5052 or 07762114523. For more information about National Samosa Week, click here to visit the website.

You're probably busy reading up on the Saturday night scrimmage at Blakeslee Stadium or Chris Doleman being honored in Canton, Ohio, or about how Greg Childs is pretty much screwed for the season. I'm still working through all my material from Thursday and Friday in Mankato, and it took me most of the day yesterday to get back to normal after all the dehydration from cruising the disgustingly hot sidelines on Thursday and Friday. Guess I'll have to spend hours in a sauna taking notes to get ready for next year in Mankato.
But it seemed like I should report on Friday afternoon before I devote myself to listening to all the player interviews I recorded. Anything to keep from having to hear how my voice sounds recorded.
Join me after the jump for a belated Friday afternoon report from Mankato.
Fan appreciation
When I left off in my camp updates, I was on my way to a fan appreciation event hosted by Minnesota Momentum, the Vikings' grassroots stadium support organization. The event, which deserves (and will get) it's own post, was interesting for a lot of reasons. For one, the crowd was comprised of some of the most active and highly costumed fans who had worked very hard to help the stadium legislation to be successful. There were times in that crowd that I was afraid the person next to me might turn his head too quickly and I could accidentally be gored by the horns on his headgear. However, one of the other interesting things was the Vikings' continued focus on showing appreciation to these hardcore fans who helped make a new stadium deal a reality. Like I said, that event deserves (and will get) it's own post.
Following the fan appreciation event, I got swept up with the crowd heading over to the VIP tent for a luncheon. All I wanted was something cold to drink, but instead I stood in line in the hot sun sweating through my shirt for the second time that day. Fortunately, there were plenty of interesting folks to talk with, like representatives from Vikings World Order and DN reader Admiral BigGun. Eventually, I escaped the line, but by that time the players were coming back onto the field for the afternoon practice.
Brief respite from the heat
I suppose, if I had been a truly dedicated journalist, I would have popped into the media tent for some water and then headed back out to the field. However, the DN health plan is essentially "Don't get sick, you moron," so, even though I was sure to miss some interesting stuff, I decided to head back to the media center and soak up some air-conditioning while I wrote a quick report about the Minnesota Momentum event.
What? You didn't see that report? Well, my infernal bad luck was holding and I couldn't post the report on DN. I kid you not, I really was living National Lampoon's Trip to Training Camp.
An hour later, a little cooler and better hydrated, but disgruntled about not being able to post my report, I made it back out to the field. As I was walking past the media tent I saw a guy sitting in a tub of ice, shirt off, and a towel on his head. Eric Sugarman was walking up and there was muttering about an ambulance. I kept moving because I didn't want to get in trouble with security, figuring I'd just ask a couple of the other writers what I'd missed.
Turns out, they didn't know and I'd been able to, unwittingly, give them a scoop. Apparently, the guy hadn't collapsed on the field so it hadn't interrupted practice and alerted the press. It was fascinating to see the journalists go into action with their phones trying to figure out what had happened, asking me for the best description I could give of the guy in the tub. We eventually learned that it was Kevin Murphy, an offensive lineman, who was suffering heat exhaustion and had been taken to the hospital, apparently stable, as a precaution. Eleven years after Korey Stringer, the Vikings do not mess around with heat-related illness.
Signs and wonders
Friday afternoon sweated on with encouraging signs that Jerome Simpson and Christian Ponder have been able to work together enough to have developed their timing. Simpson caught some passes immediately coming out of a break, leaping into the air. Already, he seems to be becoming a fan favorite, smiling and waving to a kid who was asking him about Skittles, smiling and waving to another kid who was holding up a #81 jersey flag. The crowd waiting for autographs after practice went nuts when he appeared and he gamely signed autographs. For the Vikings, this has to be reassuring that Simpson could be the kind of reformed problem-child-turned-fan darling that Jared Allen has been in Minnesota.
There was a scary moment when Stephen Burton caught a pass and then landed on Eric Frampton. Frampton was down on the field for a few minutes in distress. Considering his teammate's full weight had landed on his midsection because of the way they fell, at the least Frampton would have had the wind knocked out of him. Fortunately, Frampton was able to walk off the field.
Recorder in hand...
At the end of the afternoon practices the Vikings make one of the big three (Adrian Peterson, Christian Ponder, or Jared Allen) available to the media. Those three are so popular that if the team didn't control access to them they probably would be harassed for interviews constantly. Friday it was Allen's turn to face the media and I stood directly next to him on his left.
Once again, I felt like I was standing in a hole. It's one thing to know Jared Allen is a big guy, it is something else entirely to stand next to him and feel like an Oompa Loompa.
Allen answered questions about Chris Doleman, about practice, and about being used in 3-4 packages before being whisked away. I had one more player I'd really wanted to talk to so I continued to lurk at the edge of the field even though I was beginning to worry that if I didn't get something to drink soon I'd be shoving Kevin Murphy out of the ice tub so I could get in.
And then, finally, John Sullivan appeared and I got my final interview. Under normal circumstances, I would have been impressed that he made sure to take time to talk with the military members who had attended the practice and sign autographs for them, but I was pretty close to seeing mirages. Sullivan seemed pretty spent from the hot practice, but he was willing to answer my questions. Somewhere in the midst of that final interview, my digital recorder decided the file was full and stopped.
Yep, my bad luck held right up to the very end.
That's a wrap!
My recorder seemed to have reached it's limit and, having sweat through my shirt for the third time that day, it was time to go.
I think that next year there will be just about nothing at Training Camp that could phase me. After all, it couldn't possibly be as mishap crammed as this year was, right? Well, I'm going to knock on wood and hope that's the case. See you again in Mankato in 2013, even with the bad ju-ju, it was still a great experience.

TP-Link Talon AD7200 Review
TP-Link Talon AD7200
The fastest consumer Wi-Fi router ever
- Page 1 TP-Link Talon AD7200 Review
- Page 2 Performance and Verdict Review
- Wi-Fi AD is impressively fast
- Packed with features
- Decent performance in WiFi AC and WiFi N
- AD can't penetrate walls and has very short range
- No Wi-Fi AD clients right now
- No seamless band switching (Smart Connect)
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £350.00
- World's first 802.11ad router
- Up to 4,600Mbps over 60GHz Wi-Fi band
- 7,200Mbps combined Wi-Fi speed
- Four Ethernet ports
- Two USB 3.0 ports
- Nine antennae
What is the TP-Link Talon AD7200?
The TP-Link Talon AD7200 is the world's first router to use the new 802.11ad Wi-Fi standard. Also known as WiGig, it offers up to 4,600Mbps transfer speeds, which is four times faster than the fastest 802.11ac Wi-Fi. However, the new standard has a short range and can't penetrate walls, so will be of limited use in many households as a result.
Thankfully, the Talon AD7200 can also service all your other Wi-Fi needs since it's a fully fledged AC router too, and it comes packed with everything you'd expect of a modern high-end unit.
TP-Link Talon AD7200 – Design and Features
The TP-Link AD7200 is a pretty standard-looking high-end router. That is, it's all black and fairly large, with dimensions of 230 x 230 x 43mm (WDH). Flip up its eight external antennae (there's also an internal antenna array) and its height rises to 123mm. With such a large footprint you'll struggle to fit the unit on most windowsills or bookshelves, so you'll probably need to dedicate a small table or dresser-top to it.
The lack of removable antennae is a bit of a shame, since it means you can't replace them if you break one. Many alternative high-end routers provide this option.
Related: Best Wi-Fi Extenders
Round the back are four Gigabit Ethernet ports and the WAN port – like most non-ISP routers, you'll need a separate modem – plus a couple of USB ports for sharing printers and USB hard drives. Both are USB 3.0, rather than the slower USB 2.0, allowing for quicker access to any shared storage. This remains quite a rare feature, even on high-end routers.
Notably, though, those Gigabit Ethernet ports are theoretically too slow to keep up with AD Wi-Fi. They can deliver a maximum of 1,000Mbps, while AD Wi-Fi is rated up to 4,600Mbps. The reality is that the Wi-Fi would seldom reach such lofty heights anyway. Nonetheless, it's an early indicator of just how fast AD Wi-Fi actually is.
On the front of the router is a good selection of indicator lights and buttons. Where some routers make do with only a single light to try to show the status of the router, here you get individual ones for power, all three Wi-Fi bands, LAN activity, internet, WPS and the two USB ports. In addition, you get a button that can turn all these off if you'd rather not have lights blinking at you across the living room. You also get buttons for WPS and Wireless On/Off.
Joining the new 60GHz band used for AD Wi-Fi are a 2.4GHz band and a 5GHz band for AC, N, G and B Wi-Fi. As such, this is what can be thought of as a dual-band router with the addition of AD, rather than what's normally thought of as a tri-band router.
Traditional tri-band routers use one 2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands, with the second 5GHz band used either to share the overall workload – as on the D-Link DIR-890L – or for communicating directly with other routers in a multi-router system, such as the Netgear Orbi.
Otherwise, you get all the latest Wave 2 AC Wi-Fi features, including MU-MIMO. As such, the 5GHz band is rated to a maximum throughput of 1,733Mbps, while the 2.4GHz band can hit 800Mbps.
Unlike some modern routers there's no band steering, also known as Smart Connect. This function conveniently combines all the Wi-Fi bands into one SSID, leaving it up to the router to sort out which band your devices connect to.
In the Talon AD7200, however, all three bands use separate SSIDs, meaning you'll have to specifically select which one to connect to. That can be a headache where there are only two bands, so it's definitely something that would put us off using a tri-band router such as this, given the short range of AD Wi-Fi.
TP-Link says it's working on adding Smart Connect to a future firmware update, but we've heard this before with regards to several other routers (from various manufacturers) and been left waiting months and months for the update to appear.
Inside the router is a dual-core, 1.4GHz Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8064 processor, along with 512MB of RAM and 256MB of flash storage. These are joined by two Qualcomm Atheros QCA9980 and one Qualcomm Atheros QCA9500 that handle the wireless communications.
TP-Link Talon AD7200 – OSD and Setup
Setting up the Talon AD7200 is straightforward. Once plugged in and powered up, you can either connect to the default Wi-Fi or plug a computer directly into an Ethernet port. Enter tplinkwifi.net or 192.168.0.1 into your web browser and you'll get to the router's menu.
Here you'll be guided through a simple process for getting connected to the internet, changing the router's default password and setting a Wi-Fi password. Alternatively, you can skip the setup and jump straight to the menu.
There are two main views on offer. The Basic settings tab shows a network map and has settings for Internet (dynamic IP, static IP, PPPoE, and PPTP), Wireless (SSID and password), Guest Network (SSID and password), USB Settings (sharing access and print server), and Parental Controls (whitelist and blacklist).
The Advanced settings menu starts with a Status screen that shows Internet, Wireless, LAN, Guest Network and USB information. There are also menus with settings to adjust DHCP settings and configure NAT Forwarding, Quality of Service (QoS), Advanced Network, and Advanced Wireless settings. A Security menu adds Access Control, Denial of Service (DoS), and SPI Firewall settings, and a VPN Server menu lets you create an OpenVPN server.
There's nothing too out of the ordinary here, but neither are there any glaring omissions. However, there were a few gremlins here and there.
In particular, changing Wi-Fi settings often didn't seem to work or any changes took some time to follow through. For more than two days I couldn't get the 5GHz band to appear at all, and then suddenly it materialised. Certainly, I'd be inclined to wait until TP-Link has issued a firmware update – hopefully including the addition of Smart Connect – before buying this router.
Beyond setting up the router as you require, the next challenge is finding something to actually connect to the AD Wi-Fi. At the time of writing, there isn't a single commercially available product on the market that can do the job, except another AD Wi-Fi router – useful for sharing an internet connection across an alleyway perhaps.
For testing we were provided with a laptop modified to include an AD Wi-FI adapter.

I have always believed that if you give children the freedom to chose, they will chose what they need. They are in-tuned to their bodies and if we can help them keep that connection as they grow we could avoid some of the issues we have as adults, with not understanding or listening to our bodies.
I saw this in action so beautifully this weekend. I was in Tauranga and catching up with a lady who wanted me to meet her boy and talk through the essential oils she had ordered.
Her boy is on the spectrum. When we met at school her sweet boy was not in a good space in the playground. It was the end of the school week and he was very tired. When we got to the cafe, we sat down and I opened my case of oils. The little boy wondered over to the oils and started investigating them. I love this and asked him to have a look and see if there were any he liked. He is super sensitive to smell so this was gold- we could hopefully weed out the oils that he didn't like. We turned away to give him space and let him be.
What happened was so amazing. He sat very quietly and started to work his way very methodically along the rows of oils, opening each, smelling it and replacing it before moving onto the next one. He pulled two oils out and stated really firmly "I like this one" for each. I noted them and replaced them. After he had gone through the whole case I asked him again which ones he liked. He went straight to the two oils he had noticed before, smelled them and again stated "I like these ones."
I am learning that we respond to the oils that our bodies need. If you love the smell of an oil, really love it, you more often than not, need what that oil offers. And this little boy was so in-tuned to his body's needs, that he was spot on.
When we looked at the oils and what they could do, his mother started crying. He had unerringly picked the very two oils he needs with his condition. Children know themselves and this was beautiful to see.
The oils he picked were:
Cypress- the Oil of Motion and Flow
This oil aids in letting go and moving with the flow of life. It helps individuals who are mentally or emotionally stuck. Cypress assists in letting go and embracing flexibility.
Emotions addressed: Controlling, fear, rigidity, stuck and tense
Fennel (sweet)- the Oil of Responsibility
This oil supports the individual who has a weakened sense of self. This individual may feel defeated by life's responsibilities. Fennel helps the realisation that life is not too much or too big to handle.
Emotions addressed: Lack of desire, unwilling to take responsibility for self, shame, numb to body signals
This moment was almost sacred. A boy who struggles so much in everyday life was able to communicate what he needed gently and easily. It touched me deeply and I was truly grateful to have witnessed it. Children are incredible and I am again reminded to trust my own children even more, as they know themselves very well.

Winter is HERE: Britain braces for SNOW this weekend as sub-zero temperatures hit
BRITAIN is wrapping up for SNOW this weekend as sub-zero temperatures threaten to bring the first taste of winter.
Britain is bracing for snow this weekend after freezing hail this week in Birmingham
Freak hailstorms left Birmingham under a carpet of white this week as forecasters warn autumn is about to turn nasty.
Plunging thermometers will push the mercury close to -5C (23F) overnight on Saturday with the risk of frosts on Sunday morning.
Forecasters are not ruling out a flurry of snow over high ground as a swathe of bitter air floods in from the Arctic.
As shivering Britons reach for their winter coats bookies are also hedging their bets on the first flakes of the year arriving early.
It comes after a stormy end to summer saw Britain lashed by gales and torrential downpours while mammoth 'supertides' threatened coastal regions.
The bonkers weather, being blamed on a powerful jet stream, will now take another freak turn sparking warnings to get ready for winter.
Snow fell in Birmingham yesterday
Snow and hail fell yesterday in parts of the Midlands
Piers Corbyn, director of WeatherAction, said things will take a bitter turn from Saturday especially in Scotland.
He said: "There is a chance we could see the first wintry showers of the season between Saturday and Monday.
"Of course it is the high ground of Scotland which is usually the first to be at risk, but things are turning very cold widely over the coming days.
"Temperatures could nudge freezing in parts with northerly winds coming in from the Arctic."
He said the continued erratic nature of the jet stream, which triggered intense fluctuations through summer, is again to blame.
"The jet stream is still widely deviating and allowing cold air to flood in," he added.
"This weekend could well bring a very early taste of winter."
Snow could officially end Britain's summer this weekend
Temperatures will widely sink a few degrees below average in the coming days with highs of just 15C (59F) expected widely.
Rural areas can expect overnight lows of around 2C with bitter winds making it feel like -4.5C (24F) further north, according to Netweather.
Leon Brown, forecaster for The Weather Channel UK, said: "It is looking rather cool for the rest of the week with temperatures 2 to 4C below normal.
"A chilly night this Saturday to Sunday with ground frosts probable, and we could see an air frost in some frost hollows under clear skies early Sunday.
"It looks like rain may reach north-west Britain late next week as pressure falls to our west."
As the weather turns colder bookies are starting to think of winter slashing to odds on snow this weekend.
Ladbrokes is offering 5/1 from 20/1 on a flurry anywhere in the UK before midnight on Sunday.

There is a chance we could see the first wintry showers of the season between Saturday and Monday
Spokeswoman Jessica Bridge said: "August was atrocious and the odds
suggest September's going to be even worse.
"It looks like Blighty can officially swap sunglasses for scarves as winter's coming early this year."
Weather Network forecaster Richard Chapman said much of the country can expect rain over the weekend.
He said: "Watch for further showers as we head into the weekend, perhaps with some longer spells rain at times in the east.
"It is remaining cool too, however, the good news is that higher pressure to the west builds and builds through Saturday and Sunday meaning the majority of the country, again apart from the unlucky east, should be dry.
"Northerly wind combined with shortening days and clear skies during the night away from eastern coasts and hills will bring the threat of a ground frost to more sheltered areas."
The British summer could be well and truly over
Forecaster Dan Williams said: "The outlook for Saturday to Monday is turning drier as high pressure builds from the west.
"There will be variable amounts of cloud with some bright spells, more sunshine likely on Monday. "It is feeling warm in any sunshine, but chilly overnight."

If you are working remotely or aspiring to, there are some skills you need regardless of the job. Be it, design, software development, or marketing, this is a list of things you need:
In a company spread around the globe, English is the main language used to communicate. Writing this blog in English, even if it's our third language in Morocco, is intentional. You'll need it to work remotely in any domain!
In Morocco, we teach people French given it's our second language. English is not taught well in schools and you probably need to learn it on your own.
But, to get this straight from the start: Never, ever, rely on schools to teach you everything you need to know. Especially in this fast-paced world. With the Internet, you can learn anything you want to.
People usually underestimate the power of writing, but it's very important. Just grab a new page and try to explain your idea using words. You'll find it hard to explain things when you don't have your body language working with you. And even if you spend a lot of time writing, there is always room for improvement! All this to say, writing is an always evolving art you get better at by doing it over and over again.
Writing will be your main communication tool in a remote company. You'll use it to communicate with your co-workers, share your ideas, present your work, and everything else. Be sure to practice it.
Our third item on the list: Organization. It includes your personal life, your work environment, your communications…
Working from an office makes you abide by some rules. For example, no folders on your desktop, no mugs with coffee from yesterday… When working remotely, you're working from home. And if you're not organized, things can get messy.
This is only an example of things that will shift in your environment. Others include setting up a company and dealing with monthly invoices, taxes…
That's it! Those are the necessary things you need for any remote job. Then, each job will have its own requirements of course.
Learn how to get a remote job with our FREE e-book.

Freak Show & Tell: Dirty Men and Gnarly Boards
Every week, television documentaries present us with so many unusual people, with so many strange and/or disturbing problems, you might find it hard to keep up with all of them. That's where I come in! Here's an unflinching look back at TV's Week in Freak Shows.
Hoarders (A&E)
Who Is This Now? Charles.
Why Are We Watching Him? He's hoarded up both his home and his painting studio to such a degree that neither is functional anymore.
How Did He Get Here? After his wife, Ginger, left him, he started drinking and collecting guns. It's not a great combination.
What's the Grossest Thing We See? I absolutely grant that art is in the eye of the beholder and that even though Charles is an off-putting old hermit, there's nothing wrong with his favorite subject being female nudes. That said, the painting he's hung over his bed depicts a nude woman, either sleeping or passed out, sprawled on her back across a couch while a javelina dressed as a man leers at her, and it's terrifying even before we learn that Charles uses the javelina to represent himself in his art.
What Have We Learned? Nude models of Bisbee, Arizona: Before you agree to pose for Charles, please think twice.
Parole Diaries (TV One)
Who Is This Now? Robert.
Why Are We Watching Him? He's checking in with Gerald, the officer who's been managing his parole for three and a half years.
How Did He Get Here? He's been convicted of molesting several children.
What's the Grossest Thing We See? No offense to the man who's preyed on children for many years of his adult life, but Robert is the grossest thing we see. He's twitchy as hell and can't stop working his lips and jaw where his now-missing teeth used to be. He's a creep! (Gerald notes that Robert has put in a lot of effort toward finding a job, but chalks up Robert's lack of success to the fact that he "doesn't present well." Understatement of this or any year!) When Gerald learns that Robert has violated his parole (Robert was within 1,000 feet of a park, a place children are likely to be, for around three hours; he also missed his curfew by more than two hours), it's a relief.
What Have We Learned? We should all be grateful that we don't live in Indianapolis, where Parole Diaries takes place. Not to say that offenders just as unpleasant as Robert aren't on parole in our own communities, but as long as their lives aren't being documented on a reality show, we don't have to think about them.
I Was Impaled (Discovery Fit & Health)
Who Is This Now? Tom.
Why Are We Watching Him? He's a surfer, recounting the tale of his most memorable day in the water.
How Did He Get Here? A collision with another surfer, 150 feet from shore, caused a shard of the other surfer's board to break off … and get jammed into Tom's face.
What's the Grossest Thing We See? EMTs on the scene took a photo of Tom with the surfboard shard jammed into his face, covered in blood; even after they cut a few inches off it, that still left eight and a half inches of fiberglass sticking out of Tom's cheek.
What Have We Learned? One might have thought the only injury one could sustain from getting hit in the face with a surfboard would be blunt-force trauma. Now we know better.
Tara Ariano just canceled a trip to Indianapolis.

Terms of Service
We (the folks at Livingstory) run a service called Livingstory.com that will enable you to create, share and store a lifetime of memories; and we would love for you to use it.
Here are a few privacy promises:
1. Livingstory will never sell your data. We will use your data to add value to your experience on our site.
2. Livingstory will never delete your data unless you ask us to. And if you do ask us to delete it, we will permanently delete it.
3. If you decide you want your stuff back, we will send you a physical copy on whatever preferred latest storage device is. (CD, hard drive, etc.) Yes, we will charge for the cost of that device but not for your memories.
4. Livingstory will make sure your stuff is accessible to only those you choose, even if something ever happens to you.
5. If something ever happens to you, Livingstory will make sure your wishes about what happens with your stuff is carried out correctly.
6. We'll always listen to you, our customer, if you have ideas to help us safeguard your stuff better.
We've spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to keep your memories safe and private.
Here is the easy to understand privacy and safety policy:
When we choose how to implement a new service or policy, our Founder and all the folks at Livingstory will ask themselves, "How would we want our stuff treated?" And then we'll make sure that is how we treat your stuff.
Storing all that "stuff" is expensive and we do need to make money to support everything we do here; and, even we like to take time with our families. So how do we make money? Our basic service is free and we offer paid upgrades for advanced premium features, as our intention is to preserve your memories forever and the revenue generated from the site will support such efforts.
And how do we keep your data safe?
Just like you, we love our photos and memories, so we built Livingstory specifically to help you share your memories and keep them safe. We take pride in this core principle: we keep your memories safe forever. That's a pretty big promise, and one that we take quite seriously. When you store your memories with Livingstory, you have nothing to worry about.
A few final things
Our service is designed to give you as much control and ownership over what goes on your personal account as possible, allowing you to express yourself freely. However, be responsible in what you upload to your profile. Your account must be opened under your legal name and you should never impersonate another individual. We do allow you to create a timeline for relatives that may not be able to do so themselves, either because they are no longer living or they are unable to take part in Livingstory themselves. When such a person's record is created, it must be done from within your own personal account as a narrator. Details are included within the system on how to accomplish this. Pornography, copyrighted material and anything else that would be deemed a misuse of the site will result in your being banned from the site at our discretion or the removal of specific pieces of content. We will do our best to maintain a secure site and will always treat your content with the same care we would treat our own valuable memories. The rights you grant us to your uploaded material are strictly used for your benefit in storing, retrieving and delivering your content. Only one other person will ever have access to your memories and timeline, and that will happen upon your death, when the Alternate Administrator that you previously assigned finalizes your account. Rest assured, they will have specific, limited right to your timeline and will not be able to change or delete your memories. You can refer to the FAQ within the site for more specific details. Please enjoy using Livingstory as a way to connect in a more meaningful way now and in the future.
Personal Use: Commercial use of LivingStory is strictly prohibited unless a "commercial" subscription is purchased. Commercial use is typically when the owner of the account posts media for their business or for profit. For example if you are professional photographer, you cannot use LivingStory to host your client's photos. The content must be for your own personal or familly use. LivingStory has the right to cancel accounts suspected of being commercial after warning is given to the user.
Free Users: Free users are allowed to test the site and utilize its services. Livingstory has the right to remove free subscribers that are not accessing the site or have created illegitimate accounts. In all cases, LivingStory will email the account holder to notify the suspected computer generated or fraudulent account.
And because all lawyers want to have "more technical" Terms of Service here is all the legalese:
The following terms and conditions govern all use of the Livingstory website and all content, services and products available at or through the website. The Website is owned and operated by Livingstory,LLC. ("Livingstory"). The Website is offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, Livingstory's Privacy Policy) and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site by Livingstory (collectively, the "Agreement").
Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the website. By accessing or using any part of the website, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the website or use any services. If these terms and conditions are considered an offer by Livingstory, acceptance is expressly limited to these terms.
What "Unlimited" means. Livingstory does not set an arbitrary limit or cap on the amount of resources a single Paid Subscriber can use. In good faith and subject to these Terms, Livingstory makes every commercially reasonable effort to provide its Paid Subscribers with all the storage and bandwidth resources needed to power their web sites successfully, as long as the Subscriber's use of the service complies with these Terms. By not setting limits on key resources, we are able to provide simple, consistent pricing to our Subscribers as they grow their websites. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and resulting increased storage without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.
What "Unlimited" DOES NOT mean. Livingstory employs complex mechanisms to protect its Subscribers and systems from abuse. Livingstory's offering of "unlimited" services is not intended to allow the actions of a single or few Subscribers to unfairly or adversely impact the experience of other Subscribers.
Livingstory's service is a shared service, which means that multiple Subscriber web sites are from the same server and share server resources. Livingstory's service is designed to meet the typical needs of personal website Subscribers in the United States. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of enterprises, internationally based businesses, or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated server.
Livingstory will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Subscribers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Subscribers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Subscribers, Livingstory does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until Livingstory can evaluate said sites resource needs.
Unlimited Space; Livingstory does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber's website, nor does Livingstory charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Subscriber's use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that the Livingstory service is designed to host noncommercial media. Livingstory does NOT provide unlimited space for compressed files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Subscriber's account, with or without notice.
Unlimited File Transfer. Livingstory does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic a web site can receive or on the amount of content a Subscriber can upload to his/her/its account in a given month, nor does Livingstory charge additional fees based on increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Subscriber's use of the Services complies with these Terms. In most cases, a Subscriber's web site will be able to support as much traffic as the Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, Livingstory reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Subscribers.

Livingstory will respond to all such notices by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material.

In the case of such termination, Livingstory will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to Livingstory by the terminated user or other contributors.

Tom Daley criticises Commonwealth after winning diving gold at games
Tom Daley used the top spot of the podium to call on Commonwealth countries to improve their record on gay rights.
Daley claimed his fourth Commonwealth Games gold as he partnered Dan Goodfellow to victory in diving's 10m synchro event, gritting through the pain of a troublesome hip injury that ruled him out of defending his individual title this weekend.
And the 23-year old, who married long-time partner Dustin Lance Black last year, believes not enough is being done for LGBT communities in the Commonwealth.
'There are 37 countries in the Commonwealth where it's illegal to be who I am,' said Tom.

Good morning and welcome to today's Live News Blog
Hello, Plymouth.
The good news is it's finally Friday, the bad news is it's the 13th. Still, it's a dry and mild morning and the Met Office says it will stay that way - and we'll see some sunny spells later - so, what could possibly go wrong? Then again, the Met Office did warn us to expect a torrential downpour yesterday afternoon... and we had glorious sunshine.
Anyway, for now at least, it's dry and calm and there are no problems being reported out on the roads - and a three ferry service is operation at Torpoint.

Recently Fidgets at the Grandstand (the former Turf City) went under a total makeover!! Fidgets is one of the older, more established kid's indoor playgrounds in Singapore. In the past my kids and their friends never really went to Fidgets; the old Fidgets felt run down and there wasn't much to do. When I heard about the renovation I just had to check it out for myself.
I decided to just take Xavion (he was only 23 months at the time), while his older brother was in school. We got there right at 9:00am when it opened. The place was empty and perfect for us to explore without being trampled on by the older kids.
As soon as you enter Fidgets, you can tell that something is different. I didn't even recognize the place when we walked in. Right in the front is a huge "neon lighted" shoe rack and (free-off charge) lockers. They also had a few benches for people to sit down. The entrance is massive, so even if there are a huge group of people waiting to get in you won't feel over crowded.
Almost everything at Fidgets has changed – the layout, design, ceilings, dining area. The only thing that is still the same is the main play structure. However, everything around it has been renovated.
The main play structure is average sized. It has one ball pit, long slides, curvy slides and places to crawl & climb. It does not have any ball shooters like some of the newer indoor play gyms. The main thing that I liked about the newly designed Fidgets is that it doesn't feel claustrophobic – there is plenty of open space to move around. There are also lots of benches around the play structure for parents to sit and watch the kids play.
In addition to the main play structure, there is a special area designated area for kids 3 and under. The "baby" section includes some soft slides, padded climbing areas, a ball pit, and some push cars/walkers.
Xavion did enjoy playing in the baby section, however we mostly played in the "big kids" play area. FYI – I recommend wearing jeans or shorts that cover your knees. Since Xavion was so young I had to crawl and climb and slide with him in the play area.
In addition to playing, kids ages 4 and up also have the option of doing an "arts and craft" activity. The cost is $35, which includes the price of admission. The activity lasts approximately 45 minutes and the kids are able to choose from a variety of projects.
Another new addition to Fidgets is the Baking Studio. They offer cooking classes for kids (ages 4 and up). The cost of the class is $50 which includes unlimited free play at Fidgets. The class is about 90 minutes long and is only offered on certain days and times. The recipes change per class, there is a schedule with the picture of the food to be cooked on their website. There were no morning classes on the day we were there, so I didn't get to see what the actual class looked like, or if it was worth the money. This is something I am planning to try out with my older son in the weeks to come and I will keep you posted.
There are three Birthday party rooms. Each one has a a different mural on the wall and vary in size. Fidgets also offers "Arts & Crafts" and "Baking" parties.
Fidgets is also the new home for "JAM" – the Junior Academy of Music. JAM is located in the back hallway away from the play area. Kid's sign up for individual and group music lessons. Admission to Fidgets is free if you have a lesson at JAM. Note: I recently signed up my older son for individual "drum" lessons at JAM. I will share my views about the classes in a future blog post.
When we were almost done playing and scoping out the place, we decided to sit down for a snack. The Fidgets Café is huge compared to other indoor playgrounds! There are tons of tables and space for the kids to sit, eat and hang out. They also have high-chairs for the little ones.
The Cafe had a large variety of snacks, sandwiches and hot meals available, including breakfast and lunch/dinner options. The prices were average.
Something cool that I noticed was a "robot" ice-cream machine. It was too early in the morning to have ice-cream, otherwise it would have been fun to try it out. Maybe next time as a special treat.
Behind the robot ice-cream machine is a small diaper changing/breastfeeding room for nursing mothers.
Next to the cafe is "make-up" corner. On the weekends, Fidgets offers makeovers, face painting and manicures. They also plan on having a "makeover" birthday party package in the near future.
There was also a stage for kids to "strut their stuff". I am not sure what the stage is used for – probably in conjunction with the "make-up" corner and JAM.
SuperMommy's Opinion of Fidgets: I was very impressed with the new Fidgets at the Grandstand (especially since I have been to the old one). The place is very clean and looks and feels "brand new". You can tell a lot of thought and money went into the renovation. I like the fact that they have a lot of space to move around, both in the play area and in the cafe. Additionally, I liked the new addition of the baking studio and arts & crafts corner. The main play structure is just average compared to some of the other play gyms, but I think the large amount of space and the extra activities offered make up for that. In the past I would have never even considered planning a play-date or an outing at Fidgets – but now it is one of the gyms that is at the top of my list.
Useful Fidgets Info:
- Location: Fidgets World is located at 200 Turf Club Road, on the 3rd floor of the Grandstand. There is an elevator inside Pasarbella that will take you straight up to Fidgets (Lift 2 or 3). Parking is free at the Grandstand. Note: There is also Fidgets City at Marina Bay Sands and Fidgets Island (which is a drop-off Arts & Crafts place) at Paragon.
- Entrance Costs: No membership is required for Fidgets World. The prices for admission in Singapore dollars are as follows: Under 1 (Free), 1-2 years old ($10), 3 and above ($18), Bake & Play ($50), Art & Play ($35). They do offer packages – you need to check with them for the details.
- Hours: Open daily from 9am-6pm

This review and giveaway is being shared with you by our writer Jill. We were compensated to write this post, however all opinions remain her own.
If I had only had these adorable Kidaroo Crew labels for my children, then I would not have to share with you this sippy cup fiasco story.
I remember that day as if it was yesterday. It was absolutely sweltering. Not a cloud in the sky. My husband and I were dragging as we took turns pushing the toddler in the big double stroller and wrangling the preschooler around the county fair. Not even the freshly squeezed lemonade made us feel even remotely cool. My preschool daughter on the other hand was in hog heaven. She skipped from ride to ride. She was so happy!
You see my preschooler had begged to go to the county fair ever since she saw the big ferris wheel on our way to preschool. While we walked the preschooler to our last ride of the day, the kiddie train, the toddler lolled back in the double stroller.
Her eyes started dropping as she drank her sippy cup of juice. As we rounded a corner she dropped off to sleep. I saw her lose her grip on the cup. I turned my attention to my preschooler who squealed as she rode around on the kiddie train. Once her train ride was over, she piled in to the stroller and we headed for the car. We had had a great day.
It wasn't til I got home and unpacked the diaper bag that I noticed that the toddler's favorite sippy cup was missing. I searched the van. I unpacked the stroller from the back of the minivan to look in the storage bin. I reached in to the nooks and crannies between the car seats. Searched under all the seats. No sign of the toddler's beloved sippy cup.
I wish I had thought to slap a label on my toddler's cup. Or her shoes. Favorite toy. And even on her little stuffed puppy dog. Might have saved me lots of time spent on fruitless searches for items dropped out of the stroller. The award winning Snugaroos™ Custom 3D Labels are designed for sippy cups and baby bottles.
Snugaroos Custom 3D Labels from the Kidaroo Crew are fun, reusable labels that are a safe and smart alternative to adhesive labels. These 3D labels were created by a mom. One of the problems with some sticky labels is that they are hard to adhere to irregular objects like sippy cups and drink thermoses.
Snugaroos Custom 3D Labels are stretchable label bands that are perfect for easily identifying children's drinking containers at daycare, preschool, nursery school, play dates, or in households with multiple kids. Can you imagine not having any more mix-ups or lost cups and bottles?
Snuagaroos Custom 3D Labels are:
- Available in a variety of fun designs featuring a variety of bright colors and designs.
- Parents and grandparents can choose from original works of art that captures the child's and parent's interests.
- Labels can be further custom engraved by adding your own text, like your child's name on the other side of the stretchy band.
- Fit snuggly around containers so small children can't remove.

Paleoanthropologist, Author, Explorer
TED Speaker with 6 Million Views
Genevieve von Petzinger is a Canadian paleoanthropologist, author and explorer. She is one of the world's leading experts on Ice Age art and the origins of graphic communication. Genevieve's specific focus is on the geometric signs found at many of these sites, and she's interested in how these enigmatic markings can help us to better understand human cognitive evolution as well as the development of symbolic thought and the modern mind during this early chapter in prehistory.
Genevieve is passionate about science communication and enjoys sharing her work as a speaker as well as working with various media outlets (Nat Geo, CBC, TBS) to make science more exciting and approachable for the general public. Her research has been extensively featured both nationally and internationally in print, radio and on television, and along with receiving the 2016 National Geographic Emerging Explorer Award, Genevieve is also a TED Senior Fellow and her TED talk has been viewed more than 6 million times.
In unrelated news, Genevieve has helped her husband restore a number of classic vehicles. She can actually build a car engine from the bare block up.
Graphic communication is one of the foundations of the modern world. Without it we wouldn't have books or the internet, we couldn't program a computer or write a piece of music, and we certainly couldn't send that text message with the funny emojis to a friend. What many people don't realize is that humans have been using graphic symbols to communicate and store information for more than 100,000 years.
Although we now rely on intricate alphabet systems to communicate our messages, we are still exposed to the same kind of symbols as our Ice Age ancestors on a daily basis. For example, that 'beaming face with smiling eyes' emoji you're about to send to your friend, well, while it appears to be a simple character, it is actually a powerful symbol, embedded with layers of meaning and cultural context. These symbols encompass everything from your average stop sign to the Christian cross, conveying information, history, and meaning in a compact, short-handed form. Along with mastering fire and creating tools, the invention of graphic communication could be seen as one of the defining moments of our species.
In this keynote, Genevieve will bring your audience on an adventure through time as she explores the deep origins and development of this uniquely human ability. From the earliest simple engravings to the rise of complex writing systems, she will look at the recurring motivations that prompted our ancestors to invent this style of communication and which continue to influence how we communicate today.
Many people think of writing as a recent invention, one associated with the emergence of the first big civilizations around 5,000 years ago, but this practice didn't just come out of nowhere. This leads to the question of where did this radical new way of communicating come from and how far back can we trace it in the archaeological record? Genevieve's popular 2015 TED talk began to answer this question when she introduces the audience to one of the oldest symbol systems in the world: a group of 32 geometric signs used by ancient humans at cave art sites across Ice Age Europe.
Beyond being pretty pictures, these signs represent a new way of storing information externally, with many of these characters being shared between groups through a surprisingly sophisticated Paleolithic social network. New research even suggests that this connection to a larger community of thinkers may have been one of the advantages that kept our ancestors alive in the middle of an Ice Age while closely related species like our Neanderthal cousins went extinct. As the saying goes, "don't forget your past, learn from it." In her keynote, Genevieve will not only offer your audience insight into the deep history of written communication and its power to unite communities, but she will also share a number of exciting new discoveries regarding the purpose and meaning of these enigmatic symbols.
The Tech Revolution is often seen as one of the defining characteristics of the modern age, but the first tech innovators weren't working in an incubator in Silicon Valley, instead we find them living on the expansive plains of Stone Age Africa and the frozen tundra of Ice Age Europe. These were the true tech pioneers who laid the groundwork for everything that has come since…and they didn't have the shoulders of any giants to stand on either.
From engineering with fire, to the original super glue recipe, to the first glimmers of computing, math, music and writing, we have these distant ancestors to thank for many of the technologies we take for granted today. In this keynote, Genevieve will take your audience back in time to meet these early innovators as she touches on the history of technology, economics, communication and accounting. These incredible inventions changed the way we humans interacted with each other and the world around us, and prove how deeply ingrained curiosity and creativity really are in our DNA.

Sun Pharma, India's largest drugmaker, has announced the recall of almost 400,000 bottles of anti-depressant and antihistamine medications in the U.S. because the pills failed to dissolve properly.
About 128,000 bottles of Sun Pharma's antihistamine cetirizine, known by the brand name Zyrtec, "may not meet the drug release specification through expiry," the FDA said in a statement, according to Bloomberg News. Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories Ltd., Sun's U.S. division, has recalled 252,000 bottles of generic Effexor (venlafaxine), an anti-depressant, which it manufactures in Gujarat, India.
A recent series of recalls of prescription and over-the-counter medicines made by Indian drug companies has led to increased scrutiny from U.S. regulators, concerned that the drugs fail to meet U.S. standards, Bloomberg News reports. Dr. Margaret Hamburg, the commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), made a nine-day visit to India in February to meet with pharmaceutical makers to discuss production quality and safety issues. Indian companies supply about one quarter of the medicines used in the U.S. The U.S. is increasing scrutiny of generic drugs made in India. In 2013, the FDA banned imports from four plants belonging to Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. and Wockhardt Ltd.
The FDA plans to expand its offices in India, train Indian regulatory officials, and increase inspections of overseas plants, Hamburg said in a February television interview in Mumbai, Bloomberg News reports. "If a company wants to do business in the United States, the responsibility is on them to understand the rules and requirements," Hamburg said. Hamburg has agreed to a plan that will allow Indian regulators to shadow FDA inspectors on plant visits to observe FDA practices.

Matured in the traditional style in American bourbon barrels, this whisky is then 'finished' in Tawny Port Hogsheads, sourced from the Douro region in the north of Portugal. During this second period of maturation, the whisky derives a rich red fruit taste distinctive to the Port hogshead.
Tasting Notes
Nose – A perfect balance of fresh cranberries and warm white pepper develops to a combination of tart raspberries and boiled candy.
Colour – Rich amber with a copper glow.
Taste – Delicious toasted oak spices and hints of orange peel develop to a lively contrast of wild red berry compote and sour cherries, followed by a rich stewed barley character.

A former Tesla employee is being sued for stealing Autopilot secrets and giving to a competitor
Man, some people just don't get it. Usually, when someone quits a job and goes to work for a rival company, they take what they learned from the previous company and apply it to their new employer. Well, one former Tesla employee took that a little too literally.
Guangzhi Cao, a former employee, is being sued because he allegedly downloaded the company's source code for its Autopilot feature to a personal drive. Zao then brought that source code to a Chinese competitor, essentially giving away the farm. Savage.
Tesla obviously isn't going to sit around and let this happen
According to a recent court filing, Cao literally admitted to accessing the source code and downloading the files to a personal dive. But Cao argues that he didn't commit the theft of trade secrets. Naturally, Tesla disagrees.
- The company claims in the court filing that Cao worked on the "crown jewel of Tesla's intellectual property portfolio" and then brought the company's secrets to his new employer, Xiaopeng Motors
- Tesla says "Long before he left, Cao began uploading complete copies of Tesla's Autopilot-related source code to his personal iCloud account — more than 300,000 files and directories, in violation of Tesla's policies and its agreements with Cao."
This isn't the first time that Xiaopeng Motors has been involved in trade secret lawsuits. Just last year, a former Apple employee was arrested for downloading the company's data from Cupertino's self-driving car lab and basically handing it over to Xiaopeng Motors.
Well, Tesla is tired of the games Xiaopeng Motors is playing with them. They had this message for them in the complaint:
"Inspired by and on a mission to beat Tesla, XMotors reportedly designed its vehicles around Tesla's open-source patents and has transparently imitated Tesla's design, technology, and even its business model."
According to Bloomberg, Xiaopeng Motors chairman, He Xiaopeng, said the lawsuits were "questionable." I guess we'll let the courts decide and see how questionable this lawsuit really is.
What do you think? Do you think Xiaopeng Motors endorses this sort of behavior? Or is Tesla just being paranoid? Let us know down below in the comments or carry the discussion over to our Twitter or Facebook.
