95 years young and feeling great on Prodovite! I would to share a testimonial about my mom who is just about to have her 95th Birthday! I first introduced my mother to Prodovite back in Feb 2013, knowing that having taken Prodovite's prototype some years back and had great results, I knew that this was the ticket to regain my mom's health back as she was suffering from arthritis and having bouts with high Blood Pressure and needed keep my families health going for us! I jumped on the opportunity and purchased a large amount of the product. This time around the product has been improved and is super! My mom, in her earlier year's been a seamstress and had made and designed wedding gowns for a living. However, even with following a good nutritional guideline, eating wholesome organic foods with lots of vegetables, adequately hydrating, in over the years my mom had still developed mild to at times severe arthritis to the point that she could no longer enjoy her passion of sewing. After introducing her to Prodovite, supplementing with this Nutraceutical twice daily; in approx., four to five months, my mom stated that she is feeling better, slowly regaining back her health, having regained proper flexion in her hands, her BP was also returning to normal numbers; and inadvertently had began sewing again! Now by word of mouth, church parisheers now ask her for help by asking for a re-fitting of many of those people's clothes! She now occupies her days, busy again sewing, and always has a smile!

Prior to taking Prodovite my diabetes was controlling my life. Father's day 2010 I was taken to emergency and hospitalized for 5 days. I left on the fifth day an insulin dependent diabetic. I found by the time my work day was done so was I. I would go home and instead of playing with my 2 boys and enjoying spending time with my wife, I had to lay down. I was exhausted. I spent day after day feeling physically and mentally drained. I had no energy. I was always tired. Diabetes was winning. Spring and summer brought on my seasonal allergies and added to my misery. I felt like a burden to my wife and I was deeply disappointed that I couldn't do things with my young boys. My life changed when Prodovite came. The first thing I noticed after taking Prodovite was that I had more energy, it was like I could feel it in my veins. Now when I come home I spend time with my family and instead of feeling exhausted I feel alive. I have been able to decrease both of my diabetes medications and I am no longer plagued with extreme seasonal allergies. My marriage is renewed because I am better, I no longer feel like a burden to my wife. I feel like I'm the dad I so badly wanted to be.

text: So I did the most recent firmware update. Before this update I was getting crisp and clear photos that look amazing. Since the update All the photos I am getting are dark,grainy and overall terrible quality. I have even taken my filters off and still dont get quality shots just dark unfocused shots. Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone know what is happening? Ive been playing with all the settings and cant find anything to help. Does anyone know what the three new settings are in the camera menu are? I think they are S,P,M (obviously manual).

Hi there, my name is Lisa and this is my first time posting to a food forum. Lately the discussion at home has been about how many hogs we will butcher this winter. Curiosity has gotten the best of me as to what I can make homemade. We do smoked hams, sausage and bacon every year so I am looking forward to trying something new. Nice to make your acquaintances! I wish I could get my Dad on here; he loves stuff like this!

Though ursodeoxycholate acid (UDCA) is the wellknown effective therapy for PBC, clinical effectiveness of UDCA may be limited by its poor absorption and extensive biotransformation. The more hydrophilic bile acid tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDCA) is the active ingredients of UDCA, and has been approved by state food and drug administration in China for treatment of cholesterol stones. So it is necessary to verify the efficacy and safety of TUDCA in the treatment of adult primary biliary cirrhosis. In this randomized, double-blinded, double-dummy, parallel-controlled and multicenter clinical trial, we detect the proportion of patients who had AKP decline more than 25% as the primary outcome; decline of AKP, total bilirubin, GGT, ALT and AST as secondary outcomes after patients were treated with TUDCA or UDCA for 24 weeks.

what will I need to setup Microsoft TS for 90+ users for remote access?
Do i need multiple TS machines?

akp982 is an IT service provider.
Depends on
- How poweful the server is - mine runes fine with 30 odd users
- What they are using it for
Jan 25, 2010 at 8:22 UTC
Th easy answer is yes. It reall depends on what your users will be doing and how much memory you have on the server. For me, for 65 users, I have two servers that load balance. I will be adding another 25 in a few months and will need to add another server as the load for each user is slowing things down as it is. I have two quad-core CPU's in each server. running Winodws Server 2008 x64. Each started with 10 GB memory, but when I add the third, it will be 16 GB and I'll upgrade the current two to 16 GB. Windows loves memory.
Jan 25, 2010 at 8:26 UTC
Based on your profile it looks like most of your users would be using TS. I have to agree with Todd, if it is this import do multiple machines for load balancing/fault tolerance. Especially if it is a new project now is the time to ask.
Jan 25, 2010 at 8:31 UTC
If you have that many remote users it could be worth looking at Citrix alongside their access gateway appliance. The management will become easier and in my opinion more user friendly
Jan 25, 2010 at 8:32 UTC
Keep IT Simple Technology Group is an IT service provider.
Even more important is how many concurrent sessions (meaning logged in users) you expact to have.
Is one thing setting up TS for 90+ concurrent users, and completely different thing setting it for 90+ users but with 15-20 concurrent.
That of course is in addition to the points raised here before.
Jan 25, 2010 at 8:49 UTC
As a rule of thumb
Plan for 75% of the users to be on at any one time.
Hardware is dependant on the apps they are running
I have 50 users on 2 boxes, 1 would do but you need fault tolerance
I use Citrix Presentation server 4, it comes with nFuse and Citrix Secure Gateway software for free. Do not confuse this with the hardware device. I installed nFuse and CSG on 1 box with 1 cert. Works like a dream and save on licenses.
Jan 25, 2010 at 1:19 UTC
I have 75+ users and have found that I need 3 servers to handle the load. Each server usually has around 10 users online and the performance is adequate. Your milage may vary, our line of business app is a memory hog. Processor and memory performance are key. I use Citrix, primarily because it includes load balancing. For that number of users you will need some form of load balancing.
Jan 25, 2010 at 1:43 UTC
Does anyone use the load balancing in Windows 2008?
We have 3 terminal servers right now all running 2003 and are in the process of setting up 3 more on 2008. All but one are running in VMware. We have about 75 users but going to be adding about 50 more.
Right now about 20 are on one server because they need one app that we only have on that server. Other 55 users bounce back and forth between the other 2 servers when they see one is full. that is not the best plan, but it works for now.
We have great performance on all but the none VM machine. I have not started using messing with the load balancing in 2008 but wondering if anyone knows how well it works.
Also anyone use anything to get the session to span 2 screens? We just use RDP and were thinking about using Split view.
Jan 25, 2010 at 2:36 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
And WHEN they are using it. Is it all at once or staggered.

All at once but they only really use it for email, word, excel, web (inc flash java etc) and the odd paint.net job
Jan 26, 2010 at 7:00 UTC
If you could convince them all to use web based email and not Outlook, that might help with performance, I find outlook for some reason hammers the TS when multiple users have it open.
Jan 26, 2010 at 8:03 UTC

If you are planning on moving to Win 7 you can continue to use RDP. The newer version of RDP going to a Win 2008 server will span both screens. The other nice thing with the new RDP is even if you use just one screen but do it as full screen you can use "special keys" such as the windows key or Ctrl+Alt+Del
Jan 26, 2010 at 8:16 UTC
Todd, it seems RAM is the bottleneck there. Bumping the RAM up should get you where you need to be. Are the CPU's taking that big of a hit?
What are you using for load balancing? The new 2008 "whatever is called feature" or the usual?
Jan 26, 2010 at 8:31 UTC
I agree that you can never have enough RAM for TS. With memory a relatively cheap upgrade, install as much as you can get your hands on. Just keep an eye on system performance and you'll quickly identify what your needs are, and which apps are using the most resources.
I also agree that it is not a bad idea to have mutliple TS machines for fault tolerance. In my environment I have 2 TS to support about 40 users concurrently. Mine are 2003 Server using Windows built-in load balancing (its free and gets the job done), and session directory to handle any disconnected sessions.
As for dual screens, we have no problem with that. Just use RDP with the /span switch. For split screen I was able to install WYSE Multi-Display Support.
Jan 26, 2010 at 8:43 UTC
Unfortunately I wouldn't call our memory upgrade cheap......went from 32GB to 64GB.........cost? lots!
Those 8GB sticks are not cheap........ :-(
Jan 26, 2010 at 9:35 UTC
You will need to know the memory requirements for the application you're using. Multiply that by 90 and that's the amount of memory you'll need total against all servers. If you anticipate growth you may want to pad that figure by the percentage of growth that you expect. You should spread that figure out over mulitple servers. Rule of thumb is usually 15-20 sessions per Terminal Server.
Also you should test, test, test. Printing is a huge issue with Terminal Servers even after all these years. Also, some applications may act funny or cause performance issues no matter how much resources you have on the server. Try before you buy. I think MS gives you 90 days to try out TS without having to buy a license. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Jan 26, 2010 at 9:47 UTC
@ITSlave - I agree, especially on the printing note, remote users sometimes send CAD drawings and the like over our VPN link to a local printer and crash the print spooler, this can result in runaway resource usage on the enite TS until the spooler service is restarted!
Trying to explain how print jobs are sent raw and take a lot of bandwidth/CPU is impossible
Jan 26, 2010 at 12:29 UTC
I somewhat disagree with the notion of only 20 or so users in a terminal server. A big server built for TS can handle much more than that - it all boils down to what they will be doing on it. If you are skeptic, I just logged in to my TS, and there are currently 74 active user sessions using 11.8 Gb RAM and only 3% CPU utilization, with spikes up to 12%. The server is running quick and responsive as well.
All jokes aside about running this many people in Access (the app devs were supposed to switch to an SQL Server backend a year ago... another story), we are running our Terminal Server with 349 total users using one of about 15 different Access databases. Server load is usually around 50-100 users at any given time, and we have nary a hiccup. During end of month billing there is a slight amount of latency in the server response (at peak, we can get 150+ users), but it certainly isn't enough to cry over. CPU utilization never really gets out of hand, so I suspect more RAM would smooth it out. However, we are getting ready to split the server into a cluster of 2-3 servers with session directory once our budget supports it (for fault tolerance), so we are riding it out. Our current Terminal Server has the following specs:
- Windows Server 2008 Std x64
- Dual Xeon E5430 (8 cores total)
- 20 Gb PC2-5300 RAM
Also, ITSlave hit a good note with printing. It can be buggy as hell to get properly set up in TS. Put the print spool on a drive with a lot of space if you have big spikes in usage as we do. Also, make sure you have good permissions in place. We got lazy one day and forgot to lock down the printers - we had people printing all over the place. People just seem to expect their printouts to magically find the printer they want. Silly users.
Jan 26, 2010 at 4:31 UTC
I my config, I am running Windows Server 2008 x64. I only have 12 GB on each server. This is by design as the primary application is my issue. Whil enot a memory hog, it is not the best programmed application. So using the Windows Server 2008 Network Load Balancing also gives me that added connection slowness I need to push users to one server or the other. There external Load Balancing devices that make Load Balancing work really nice. So while I have about 65 users and my hardware could support lots more memory and lots more users per server with two quad cores in each server, my application just will not proform the way we would like over 40 users. Also, I don't use Citrix. Don't need it as all my users need and get the same enironment. Citrix is great when you need to create a number of presentation environments like, one for Engineering, A/P, AR, Sales, Management, Production shift 1 and so on.
Jan 27, 2010 at 11:01 UTC
The 20 user limit goes back to the 32-bit Windows memory limit. The system could only address around 3.5 GB of RAM, so you were limited on the number of sessions that could start with acceptable performance.
Jan 27, 2010 at 11:07 UTC
Exactly :)

Jan 28, 2010 at 9:33 UTC
I've had some pretty good luck with the universal print driver that's included with 2008. You'll still want to keep tight controls on what printers users will using. That can be a pain to manage. I agree with the others, 64bit and lots of ram. I've always ran out of ram before processor with the apps I've worked with. Hopefully your app efficient, that will make your life much easier.

First Lady Michelle Obama recently gave a speech at the Fort Campbell base in Kentucky. She spoke of veterans trying to find civilian jobs once they have finished their enlistment. Admittedly she mentioned she knew very little of the lives of soldiers before becoming First Lady and playing an active role in the campaign trail.
She stated,
"Unlike Jill, I wasn't a military mom. I didn't know much about the military, and I was probably more like the average American."
When speaking about her experiences on the campaign trail she said,
"Everywhere we went, I heard the voice of a woman that I hadn't heard before, and it was your voice. And I was just awed and blown away by what I heard through those voices, the challenges you all face."
Then she took it one step too far,
"Dealing with everything that I was dealing with—a spouse traveling, a job, kids– we didn't deal with multiple moves, but I learned about the challenges that happen when you move from base to base to base. The way your kids have to adjust on a dime. And doing it knowing that the person you love is in harm's way. And those stories moved me in a way that I didn't expect."
Apparently our First Lady thinks her travels helping her husband run for President are the same if not similar to the type of lifestyle soldiers families live. Oddly, her husband never served a day in his life in the United States military. She wouldn't know the first thing of what being a military family means. The sacrifice our armed forces make far usurps anything she has ever dreamed of.
Lets hope next time she has a speaking engagement she pays a little more attention to what comes out of her tone deaf mouth.

Hearty Oven Stew
Recipe by Nova Scotia Cook
Ah yes, here we go with yet another stew recipe!! Don't recall where I got this recipe, but have been making it for years. It is so darn simple to make and tastes mmmmmm good. The original called for Pillsbury Flaky Biscuits that could be added to the top of the stew but I prefer it without. I much prefer to have homemade buttered tea biscuits with this meal. However, I have added the instructions for the biscuits just in case you might like to try it that way. Hope you like this stew as much as my hubby & I do.
Top Review by Lvs2Cook
This stew was very easy to make ~ I used carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and threw in some frozen peas. The meat did not have as much flavor as I had hoped. I ended up just eating the vegetables but DH liked it very much and ate several helpings. I baked my biscuits on the side as suggested. Thanks for posting!

Top 10 expert tips to stay safe online
With 83% of people using the same password for more than one online account, we have compiled the top 10 expert tips for protecting yourself while on the internet.
1. Make sure your computer is up to date with all its updates and security protection like Anti-virus, spyware etc.
2. Use a secure email service like Topmail that can send your information encrypted, so if it's intercepted it's of no use to the third parties. These services will also prevent most Phishing emails making their way to your inbox.
3. Use strong and differing passwords for all online accounts – a Topmail survey found that 83% of people use the same password for more than one online account.
4. Do not send any personal or sensitive information (bank details, date of birth, place of birth, passwords) through email if at all possible.
5. Keep your social media accounts as secure and private as possible – make sure your security settings for each account are kept updated.
6. Ask third parties you are sending information to how they store and protect your data.
7. Financial providers will very rarely ask you for this kind of information over email so ring them up, especially if the email is trying to rush or scare you – this is a common tactic used by Phishers.
8. Because it is difficult to assess the safety of a public Wi-Fi network, users should ideally only connect to Wi-Fi networks that they know and trust.
9. Use a two-step verification process and always keep files encrypted especially if they are of high importance, that way if they do get hacked they will be unreadable to outside sources.
10. Finally, think before you click. Links in messages from people you don't know are most likely to be malicious in nature. Hackers have the ability to create an email which looks like it came directly from your best mate.

Shortly after Montenegro gained independence in June of 2006, the ISO 3165 Maintenance Agency assigned the emerging nation the country code ME. Proud of the country's new-found sovereignty, the new government of Montenegro took important additional measures to formalize the country's fledging independence. One such step was to submit an application to IANA for delegation of .Me as the country's Top Level Domain (TLD). The delegation was finally approved and took place in September 2007.
Understanding that "ME" has multiple meanings and has mass appeal as a word, the government of Montenegro embarked on generalizing the .Me name space so that anyone and everyone could enjoy obtaining a .Me for themselves. As a result, in November of 2007, a formal public RFP was issued to find a Registration Agent who could provide a world-class registry platform, run operations for an international registry, and deliver marketing expertise to make .Me a worldwide success. The contract was eventually awarded to doMEn, d.o.o., a Montenegrin joint venture (doing business as .Me Registry), whose partners include Afilias Limited, GoDaddy.com, Inc., and ME-net d.o.o.

What a group of rip-off artists! This company needs to be brought to it's knees! I too am a victim of Drive Financial's harassing tactics and unscrupulous ways.
I've always made my payments on time. Since April I have been harassed for a payment they claim that they did not receive. I have proof that not only did they receive my April payment, but they cashed it. Instead of them tracking the payment, they harass me and tell me that I have to pay late fees for this payment and that I remain a month behind on my payments.
They have poor customer service skills. They talk down to you with such disrespect and seem to find it to be funny. It's like owing ignorant loan sharks. I am willing to join any class action suit against these people because there is strength in numbers and they need to be stopped.

Wow! Pearce is fantastic! Great face with a terrific smile, hot body, with a great cock and ass! A total package! He was a swimmer, so has been in the habit of shaving off all his body hair, but you can see he is well on his way to bringing it back.This guy is boyfriend material too. He is smart, works hard, and is very personable. He has had a boyfriend for two years, and his boyfriend encouraged him to try doing porn once again. He had done 3 videos elsewhere a while back, and he said the feedback was not good. I can't imagine anyone complaining about this hot guy!Since then, he has worked hard on his body. Pearce was incredibly comfortable doing the solo with me. For both photos and video, his cock pops out hard and ready to go! He was eager to show-off!Pearce loves to bottom, but tends to top with his boyfriend. So I think very versatile, but definitely loves a big cock inside him.He gets a little wobbly when he sits back down to stroke, so I slid between his legs, propped the camera up and lifted his ankles in the air, and that position got him bone hard again. Nothing like a little dominant camera work to make a bottom respond!With Pearce, you won't be able to decide if you want to see his perfect ass fucked, or see that giant cock head plunging in a hole! I hope to get both!
This is a fantastic solo, and next week we will see him in the Edge chair!

Assume that the towns of Belmont and Lexington have different demand curves for firefighters and can hire firefighters at the same constant marginal cost. Suppose that historically their state government has required the two towns to hire the same number of firefighters, but the state has recently decentralized decision making.

2. Is Zane a good partner to choose for your first playthrough, and if so, what sort of deck/cards should I be aiming to collect to complement his deck?
3. Once you've unlocked a partner's pack in the shop does it always stay available, or does it become "sold out" when if you become friendlier with a different partner?
Thanks in advance.
God, that's not just a "leap" in logic. It's a spaceship ride up to a loony bin on the moon.
Gargravarr (Topic Creator)5 years ago#2
...Hello? Please?
God, that's not just a "leap" in logic. It's a spaceship ride up to a loony bin on the moon.
1. Syrus' last deck and Bastion's Water Dragon decks (check Deck Recipe FAQ) work well with Water decks, but you shouldn't stick with it, imo. You'll come across better cards.
2. Zane is one of the better partners since he has pretty strong monsters. Chazz is the best partner though with his Persistent Pester deck, imo. Use an Ojama or Burn deck to complement it.
If you want to team up with Zane, just use a Cyber Dragon deck. Basic cards that go with him include:
3 Cyber Dragon
3 Proto-Cyber Dragon
3 Shining Angel
3 The Light - Hex Sealed Fusion
Other than that, it's pretty much staples and Limiter Removal.
Don't use Polymerization or more than 1 Power Bond. Special Summoning Cyber Dragon and then Summoning The Light and activating its effect will get you an easy Cyber Twin Dragon (also works with Proto-Cyber Dragon on the field). Shining Angel can help you get PCD and The Light easily.
3. It always stays.

Gargravarr (Topic Creator)5 years ago#4
Okay... What sort of staples should I be looking out for? I mean generally, not just for this deck. I'm still pretty new to this game and I can't find a list of so-called "staples"...
And any more monster recommendations?
God, that's not just a "leap" in logic. It's a spaceship ride up to a loony bin on the moon.
Look out for:
Cyber Jar
Dark Hole
Heavy Storm
Mystical Space Typhoon
Pot of Greed
Premature Burial
Solemn Judgment
I put those cards in all of my decks unless some really aren't needed. Run no less than 3 Solemn Judgment in your decks if you want to use it. It's 3 or none.
There's also a section in the Board FAQ that lists some cards that belong in most decks. You'll have to figure out which of those cards fit with the scheme you're running with your deck, though.
This is my Cyber Dragon deck:
Monsters: 18
1 Breaker the Magical Warrior
3 Cyber Dragon
1 Cyber Jar
1 D.D. Warrior Lady
1 Jinzo
1 Morphing Jar
3 Proto-Cyber Dragon
1 Sangan
3 Shining Angel
3 The Light - Hex Sealed Fusion
Spells: 18
2 Creature Swap
1 Dark Hole
2 Enemy Controller
1 Future Fusion
3 Giant Trunade
1 Heavy Storm
1 Limiter Removal
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Pot of Avarice
1 Pot of Greed
1 Power Bond
1 Premature Burial
2 Smashing Ground
Traps: 4
3 Solemn Judgment
1 Torrential Tribute
Fusion Deck
3 Chimeratech Overdragon
3 Cyber End Dragon
3 Cyber Twin Dragon
Reasons why some "staple" cards are there to give you an idea:
Breaker is there to destroy any Spells or Traps that could get in the way of attacks from Cyber Twin Dragon.
D.D. Warrior Lady is there because it can be Special Summoned by Shining Angel. If the AI has a strong monster, it can take it out.
Jinzo fits with the Machine theme and is mostly a backup plan if I can't get any Cyber Dragons on the field.
Morphing Jar replenishes my hand, since I'll be using a lot to clear the field and summon Cyber Dragons.
The other Spells and Traps are self-explanatory, I think. Things to clear the field, etc. Pot of Avarice is there since a lot of monsters will be going to the Graveyard.
The main idea is to clear the opponent's side of the field and attack with Cyber Twin Dragon.
The best deck in the game, though, is Chimeratech OTK. You can read about it and find a really good one made by PenOfStone on this board. Just search "Chimeratech OTK" in the board search and it'll be there.
If you have more questions, I can just answer them here :)
Also, the Yu-Gi-Oh GX Beginning of Destiny board on PS2 is more active than this one. TF1 and BoD are the same game on different platforms.
GenocideHeart 5 years ago#6
To add on what has been said above, don't partner with Jaden until you have a good grasp of the game. His E-Hero decks are, unfortunately, pretty janky, and it's hard to win tag duels with him without building a deck to cover his weaknessesm which isn't as easy as it sounds.
Zane is a good beginner partner. So is Bastion, surprisingly - he has some pretty brutal mono-element beatdown decks. Will lose if the game goes on too long and a combo opponent gets his game going, but that's what YOUR deck is for - being able to win mid to lategame when his deck starts losing steam.

Does Hydlide really count as a game? I thought it was supposed to be some kind of torture session. --Tocawe

Ireland has become the fourth European country to ban hydraulic fracturing (after France, Bulgaria and Germany). On June 28, the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Prohibition of Onshore Hydraulic Fracturing) Bill passed the final legislative stages in the Seanad.
The session included the committee, report, and final stages that took place in the Seanad chamber, where the gallery was full of supporters of the ban. It now requires only the signature of President Michael D. Higgins to become law. This is expected in the coming days. read full story / add a comment

Environmental group reacts to court ruling that grants Ryanair leave to participate in runway challenge
The High Court today allowed Ryanair to participate in a legal challenge being taken by Friends of the Irish Environment against Fingal County Council's decision to extend the permission granted in 2007 for a third runway at Dublin Airport. Ryanair, which originally opposed the third runway, now supports it and came to court claiming it had a financial interest in the runway going ahead.
FIE Director Tony Lowes commented: "We are deeply concerned that Ryanair, a company which denies the existence of climate change has now been accepted as a party to these proceedings. We are concerned that the courts decision will skew the proceedings away from the environmental impacts of aviation towards commercial considerations. read full story / add a comment

We are delighted to see the Green Party launch their Waste Reduction Bill 2017. The Bill calls for much needed practical steps to combat plastic pollution. A deposit refund scheme is outlined for glass and plastic bottles and a complete ban sought on single use non-recyclable plastics, such as disposable cups.
We are aware more than most in Zero Waste Ireland that the issue of plastic pollution is a massive global challenge and a blight on our own country. According to the Green Party, every year, over 110 million tonnes of plastic is produced. Of this, up to 43% ends up in landfill. read full story / add a comment

Today marks World Ocean Day 2017, a global day of celebration honouring the worlds oceans and an opportunity to appreciate, conserve and protect our marine life and habitats.
This years conservation focus is on preventing plastic pollution and marine litter, encouraging solutions for healthier seas.
And rightly so. A widely cited study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation for the World Economic Forum warns that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
A separate report in the journal Science estimates that 8 million tonnes of plastic enter the oceans each year the equivalent of one truckload per minute. One researcher for the study likens this amount to lining up 5 grocery bags of rubbish on every foot of coastline around the globe. read full story / add a comment

Minister Dennis Naughton, TD, Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, has been urged to support a United Nations Conventions ruling requiring suspension of work on the new Hinkley Point UK nuclear reactor until a transboundary Environmental Impact Assessment [EIA] is completed.
The first new nuclear station to be constructed in the UK since 1995, Hinkley C is a 3.2GW nuclear power plant composed of two reactors. The power plant will generate 7% of UK's electricity if constructed. The UK position is that the likely impacts determined through a thorough EIA do not extend beyond the county of Somerset and the Severn Estuary.
The Espoo Convention, signed by Ireland in 1991, requires that the opportunity for comment provided to the public of potentially affected Parties is equivalent to that provided to the public of the Party of origin. read full story / add a comment

An accident has occurred at the Covanta operated Poolbeg incinerator last night (Wed 7 June) which resulted in the hospitalisation of 11 construction workers.
Reports indicate the cause of the incident was an uncontrolled cloud of lime released inside the flue gas treatment area, which breached a door seal and engulfed the workers, resulting in reports of breathing difficulties, feelings of nausea and blurred vision.
Lime, a highly alkaline, caustic and irritating material with potential to cause blindness and serious respiratory issues, is used in incinerators to clean harmful compounds such as dioxins and furans from flue gasses. read full story / add a comment

Bord Pleanala has advised that the additional information supplied by Indaver is considered to contain significant additional data in relation to the effects on the environment of the proposed Ringaskiddy incinerator and have invited submissions from observers during a six week period to close 21 July 2017 at 5.30pm.
This material was submitted at the invitation of the Bord who on making a fourth decision deferral in March 2017 invited Indaver to submit additional information on flight paths and an opportunity to correct their erroneous dioxin figures, exposed on the final day of the Oral Hearing held in April/May 2016. read full story / add a comment

Many Darden alumni take extended time off of work to attend to other matters — children, elderly parents, illness, charity work, etc. When they seek to return to work, they often lack professional confidence and can be intimidated by the idea of marketing themselves. Further, their professional network may have become dormant, and they feel disconnected from the current business landscape. Need help relaunching? Darden graduates can get free counseling from the Armstrong Center for Alumni Career Services. E-mail or call us at +1-434-924-4876 to schedule an appointment via phone, Skype or in person.

Trek through home decor stores these days and you'll probably see goods from around the world — India, the Far East, South America. And Africa.

Just as fashion houses like Celine, McQueen, Valentino and Missoni have referenced African prints and hues over the past few seasons, so are interior designers and retailers doing that now, drawing on Africa's wealth of crafts like woodworking, pottery, textiles and pattern-making.

Jeanine Hays, creative director of the interior design firm Aphrochic in Brooklyn, New York, works with her team to develop modern takes on traditional African textiles and patterns found in ceremonial objects. For instance, they have a collection of poufs upholstered in prints drawn from kuba cloth, silhouettes and headdresses.

"We're inspired by our own African-American heritage, and our interiors and products reflect iconic African-American imagery," Hays says.

In her own brownstone, Hays uses a long, graphite bedroom wall to display a basket collection made by a Rwandan women's collective. The vibrant shades of pink, mint, gold, and black and white pop against the dark wall, making a sculptural statement.

In the home of a Brooklyn client, Hays curated a gallery of baskets and objets d'art against a backdrop of industrial-style shelves.

"Our belief is that modern design and cultural style combine to create spaces that we're connected to, that we care about, and that tell our stories," she says.

One eye-catching piece that's cropping up frequently in interiors is the Juju hat, used in dancing rituals by the Bamileke tribe in Cameroon. The headdress features an exuberant circle of chicken or guinea fowl feathers.

Consuelo Pierrepont, designer and co-founder of the Sway Studio an interiors firm, says the Juju hats have a softness and geometry that make them a favourite decorative element.

"They're incredibly versatile and can stand alone as a statement or be layered into a collage wall, with other art mediums or more Jujus," she says. "Although they come in a variety of dyed colours, we love the tonal palette of the natural pieces. Jujus add so much depth and texture that a room hardly needs anything else to feel decorated."

Pierrepont also says that carved, wooden Bamileke stools have been popular with clients. The sides of the drum-shaped stools are carved in a hatched pattern evoking a spider's web. They are known as "king's stools" because they're used by royalty on special occasions.

"They have an appealing sculptural quality, and the real ones have a lot of character — no two are alike," says Pierrepont. "They're nearly indestructible — the barrel shape makes them incredibly sturdy, and the dark stain and wax finish hides everything."

While original Bamileke tables are investment pieces, there are now less expensive versions. They can make great tables in rooms that see a lot of action, like playrooms. Some are made of resin, so they can stay outdoors. Others come in lighter finishes, like white or gold.

In her online shop, St. Frank, designer Christina Bryant offers handcrafted textiles and home decor sourced or inspired by global artisans, including some in Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and other African countries. She stocks a large selection of Juju hats, as well as collectible pieces like Ghanaian gold dust spoons, Nigerian beaded crowns, and bronze leopards and wooden antelope masks from Cameroon.

Bryant thinks that millennial consumers, who have recently entered the home market in large numbers, are driving the global home-decor trend.

"They're the most avid travellers, interested in exploration beyond the U.S. and Europe. They also want authentic products with stories behind them, and they value ethical sourcing," she says. "I believe they're fuelling this movement toward artisan handmade products."

The CPU cooler is a key component in reducing noise. And remember, we didn't want to sacrifice performance to cut down on noise. Since we used normal-profile DDR memory (unlike the brightly lit but extra-tall Corsair XMS Pro), and since the motherboard doesn't have any tall heat sinks or other obstructions, we could use a big cooler. So in went a Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu cooler. This giant hunk of metal has a copper core and a mixture of aluminum and copper fins. More important, it uses a slow-rotating 120mm fan, which keeps the CPU cool while generating little noise. Tall coolers, like the Zalman CNPS9500, are quite popular, but we couldn't fit one in because of the presence of the case's cooling duct.
If we were striving for a purely silent system, then we might have hunted for a fairly high-performance, passively cooled graphics card. After all, both ATI and nVidia have spent quite a few dollars engineering fairly low-noise cooling solutions. The fans on ATI's graphics cards tend to spin at full speed until the driver kicks in, however, which can be a little annoying. So we went with an nVidia-based card and put a lone EVGA e-GeForce 7900 GTX into the system. It uses a 92mm cooling fan and exhausts air out the back of the case. The result is a surprisingly quiet graphics solution.

drones articles by: Jake murray
MI1 This holiday season, the hottest present is a high-tech gadget. It's not a video game, tablet or smartphone. It's a drone. SD1 The Phantom 2 Vision has four propellers and a high-quality camera. It sells for $1,200.A drone is a small flying aircraft, often with a camera attached .MI2 Rob Powley of Mahwah, New Jersey, has a lot of drones. He has so many that he's lost count. Some he bought already made. Others he built himself.SD1For years, drones were used by the military for secret missions. They gathered information and dropped bombs. SD2Now the average person can afford a drone and more and more are appearing in the skies .SD3But more drones buzzing around also has brought more problems. Airplane pilots in the sky and tourists in national parks have seen them hovering close by .MI3 Five years ago, drones were hard to get and too expensive for most people, said Mike Blades. He watches the drone business .SD1 Since then, sales of drones have skyrocketed. Blades thinks that next year people will buy 2.4 million drones. It would be double as many sold in 2014 .SD2 Remote-controlled airplanes and helicopters have been around for a long time. Drones are different, though. They are easier to fly and can be flown in small spaces. In fact, Powley flies his own drones around his house and office .SD3 "You can fly with first-person video, so it looks like you're inside it. That's really cool," he said .MI4 Military drones were designed for stealth: to be as quiet as possible. The drones sold in stores are not stealthy, though. Most of them buzz like a hive full of angry bees .SD1 Drones run on batteries. If the battery runs out, the drone may fall out of the sky like a stone .SD2 Still, drone technology is improving rapidly. Soon, drones will use lighter equipment and better batteries. They will fly higher, farther and faster than any today .SD3 More drones in the sky has also brought up more concerns about
people. https://newsela.com/articles/hunting-drones/id/7084
MI1 An Illinois lawmaker wants to prevent hunters from using drones. She believes using the unmanned planes to spot animals is unfair.SD1 Morrison decided to propose the law after talking to state wildlife officials.MI2 Illinois already takes several steps to preserve what is known as "fair chase" in hunting. Fair chase is the idea of giving hunted animals a chance. The state also does not allow using bait to lure animals, dogs to kill and certain lights to see animals at night. SD1 Hunters might use drones to make wildlife come to them, Young said. They might also use drones to locate wildlife. Then they could go to that spot to hunt.
I think that drones are causing a big problem and they need to stop selling them to people and only the u.s.a military should use them. Also that some people are flying them way to close to airplanes and one drone can take down a jet. People are using drones to there adventures.
