Sunday, August 10th - Saturday, August 16th
This Sunday's SUPER Full Moon in Aquarius will announce itself as an edict: "The meaning of life is X!" …And then on Monday, the next edict will be, "Forget about what I said yesterday. The definitive meaning of life is Y!"
…And this will go on until Thursday, when The Pisces Moon relaxes our black & white thinking into an impressionist painting of all possibilities. Dealing with this week's immature, absolutist sub-personality will help us manage its return in October. Then, stymieing schedules battle life-altering opportunities for 6 months and we get to decide to either color within the lines or make up our own composition.
Leos Born This Week:
Your birthday Constellation is Hydra, the seductive Water-Serpent. Socially, everyone is FEELIN' you, right now…but their intentions are cloudy, at best. Fair weather is for fair-weather-friends, but don't forget the ones who have always been there for you.

Council says Forestry Commission is wrong to charge riders
If you have paid, demand your money back
Send the following e-mail to the Forestry Commission where you paid your fee.
Dear Forestry Commission
You have no rights to charge people for riding on Forestry Commission land.
I, therefore, demand that you return the following sum of money
that I have paid you over the last .................... years.
Looking forward to receiving the re-payment

Annabel Gresch writes to Tony Barnett
"Wow - that's a fantastic result!!!! "
Says Annabel Grech
Your help has been very very much appreciated!!!!!
Please do keep me informed and I will continue to spread the word by contacting more local riding clubs and horsey magazines.
Tony Barnett comments
"Agreement was reached in a statement that the Council knew nothing of the demand for payment to horse riders and stated that it was wrong"
Says Tony Barnett
Most of forestry lands are common lands, few are held by the Lord of the Manor where public access is of ancient rights of passage, bridle paths and footpaths therefore will be the definitive plan and statement, others have been gained through the 1925 law of property act which grants public access which is regulated to suit the lord of the manor.
The 1925 LPA and the 1936 act gave land owners the opportunity to register ownership of his/her property which would include buildings, rivers, lakes, waste lands, woodlands etc that were part of the demesne lands of the estate, the lands and its buildings etc then became freehold and a salable commodity.
The 1965 CRA was specifically for the registration of waste lands of "a" manor that fell outside any demesne lands, the lands were known as lands capable of rights of common and it was upon the local authority, on request of the commons commissioners agents, to prepare information on common lands in the county for inclusion in the 1965 act for consideration.
Common lands used for the production of timber, although common lands with rights of common were not registered as such but nevertheless held ancient rights of common, ancient rights of bridle paths and other horse traffic to include public rights of way, some held and still hold private rights to property, these rights should be held by the local authority and made available for inspection, as is stipulated in s 3(2) 1965 act.
The ancient rights of way therefore are free to access without impediments of any kind, forestry workers/tolrides agents have no locus stan-di, demanding payment to access the rights of way and claiming that one is not insured or will be in contravention of some trespass law, is false representation, using property as collateral to make gain is mortgage fraud (highway robbery).
I will therefore suggest that anyone feeling aggrieved should contact the police and seek action under section 5 of the public order act, I would also seek compensation and to have returned monies paid on demand from the forestry commission through the judiciary system, the demands, although fraud, may be dealt with in the county court or the high court, section 41 of the 2006 commons act is the ideal process.
Help to go that way can be obtained through horseytalk.net
I have pushed Purbeck council into an answer on Wareham, agreement therefore was reached in a statement that the council knew nothing of the demand for toll to horse riders and stated that it was wrong.
Tell us your experiences riding on Forestry Commission land ...........
Says Linda Wright
We moved to a Shropshire location a year ago having surveyed the local OS map and noted the significant number of bridleways around the property. Sadly the map appears a total fiction. Scarce any of the bridleways are usable ........... read more

Retro Post: "Together we'll go far" -Wells Fargo
Yea this entry has nothing to do with Wachovia, now Wells Fargo. However, has anyone else noticed the Suntrust advertisements like this one popping up everywhere since the Wachovia/Wells Fargo and Wamu/Chase mergers?
And....on to the next. The reason for the Wells Fargo quote. When things get tough and you're at or damn close to rock bottom, THAT is when you realize who your real friends are. Those are the ones who come to your side, take you out when you're down...oh and most important-those who join forces with you and make shit happen. Think for a moment about your skills and abilities...now think about those of your friends. And finally...think about which people in your circle would think to put those skills together and come up with a great plan. A way to find alignment and growth, a way to solve problems, make money...something to prevent both of you from having a panic attack.
If you thought of anyone...Be happy they're in your life. The ones that care enough to be there for you just like you'd be there for them in your time of need and stress and instability...THOSE people are keepers. The rest of 'em? Well...quite frankly...fuck 'em. Because at the end of the day... (press play)
Until next time friends, foes, and voyeuristic individuals....Live well, love much, laugh often.

When it comes to the issue of homework, there have been divided opinions for and against it. In the educational setting, assignments are most times regarded to as the proverbial sacred cow that should be handled with the utmost care. Although it has been around for ages, the issue of assignment is one that is not about to end so soon. Before going further, it is important to point out that assignments are not the same reading. While most parents see reading as a normal educational activity that can be enjoyed by anyone and as a family too, the same cannot be said about assignments.
As a matter of fact, over the years, the issue of homework has brought about tremendous stress to students, parents, and even teachers. There are assumptions that assignments are good for your brain and it is important to find out if that is true or it is merely a myth. Here are some fun facts about taking assignments home and should help you decide if they are good for your brain or not. They are as follows:
From all the above listed fun facts about homework, it can then be rightly deduced that spending long hours dealing with one worksheet after the other, doing multiple colourings and engaging in other memory activities after school hours have little or no impact a student's academic performances. As a matter of fact, a well-trained educator would tell you that saddling children with loads of assignments is an ineffective way of learning and as a result, learning rarely occurs.

We passed the test. We are more in love with each other than ever before.
I float in between two completely opposite feelings at the moment. What is more tangible, what my body is suffering through melancholic withdrawal from, is the absence of sweet Anna in my presence, hugging me, holding me, admiring me, loving me. What dwells more in my mind and heart is a feeling of exquisite joy and happiness, that of acceptance by the one I have chosen as mine, and of becoming familiar with love and having it greet me with open arms.
I have just returned from sheer bliss, three weeks spent with my lady love in Stockholm, Sweden, a period of time which spanned both Christmas and New Year's Eve. In a brief slice of time in my life, some of the most important events that I will ever experience occurred. For the most meaningful time of the year, for one three-week moment, I was freed from worry, stress, and doubt.
Anna and I had been planning this trip for quite awhile. I'll be honest -- it's one of my goals this year -- I'm quite proud of the fact that I took care of most of the travel plans myself, without help from others. Anna and I agreed that I would spend three weeks living with her in her flat with her parents. It was a long time on paper, yes, but hardly so in actuality.
Regardless of anything anyone says, we needed that time. Do you know what it's like to have been dating someone for almost a year and only having seen her for five days or so, total? No, I don't think so. Most people can't even fathom it. I cannot claim to have suffered through something as painful as a parental divorce or close death in the family or robbery or anything like that. But I know what the sting of loneliness feels like. I know how it feels to loathe oneself as the Doctor's monster did himself. Most people think the idea is completely ridiculous, long-distance relationships. "Get someone who lives near to you," some would say. The best things in life don't come easily, I say in response. You have to work at something in life to reap the rewards. Anna and I have stuck with it for this long period, being able to relieve the quiet burning desire to be able to touch each other once before, in London. We've been ready for a time when we could sit down, relax, and just catch up on all we've missed by being apart by a few thousand miles.
This unforgettable vacation abroad also proved as some sort of test in the eyes of those who thought it their business to prowl on our Garden. Three weeks of living with one another. Could we stand it? Or would we fold? I humbly intend to inform you that Anna and I passed with flying colors. What was intended to be a long stay felt like only a couple days.
I've already commented on the jubilation of Christmas shopping for a lover for the first time. The anticipation heading into our reunion grew and grew as it got closer and closer. I'll never forget the sheer joy expressed in the words of my sweetheart as she described her preparations for my arrival. I cherish that -- I thrive off it -- I yearn for it in the future. As for me, well, I was kept extremely busy up until the day I would be flying overseas -- I didn't have much time to enjoy my planning, but the satisfaction of finishing up a rough semester and closing up some projects for my job gave me a sense of accomplishment. I was quite ready to enjoy my reward.
No, I am not going to explain in full-length what happened, as some others do. I think it is rather whorish to do so -- those who have nothing private usually suffer from a lack of trust. Or a lack of anything exciting in their lives. But what I will hint at are a few of the key moments, when breakthroughs were made in my once cold heart, when I climbed further up the pinnacle of happiness.
After a long plane flight to accentuate the damage done by overworking myself with school and work, I was ready to leave it all behind. I think I left it with the jerk sitting next to me on the excruciatingly long plane flight. I don't think he'll notice the extra pounds. The luggage was a pain I could have done without. It's like when a mother teases her son by waggling a huge chocolate bar in front of his face and then making him wash his hands first. Who cares? I'll get the damn luggage later...
But I finally passed down that walkway and I looked and looked, and found I was looking too far -- Anna was in front, stunning and radiant, smiling at me with the ease only the truly elegant possess. I recognized her instantly. That was my woman. The woman I'd come such a long way to meet. I'll never forget the release of burden and the immediate comfort I found in my Anna. It was as if we'd known each other for ages before.
And from then on, the self-given weight of Atlas was removed from my back and I could walk proud and strong and honestly so. Such warmth, such unadulterated love. So...so...right.
We spent the rest of the vacation with each other almost around the clock, doing things we damn right deserve to do as a couple. What you take for granted -- going to the movies, watching TV, seeing the city, getting to know the surroundings -- we were pretty much doing for the first time. I bet most people never even give such things any thought. Do people take things so for granted that the only thing that makes them realize how special their love is is a car accident or something equally drastic? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe it would be good for these gluttonous couples to try it.
As usual, Christmas and New Year's are private moments for me so I won't disclose anything that happened then. As are my impressions of Anna's parents...the warm, generous, loving, understanding parents of a charming daughter (okay okay...so I couldn't help it).
I've never felt so happy in my life. I've never felt so comfortable both with my surroundings and with myself. I never thought one year ago that I'd be with a woman who loves me for exactly what I love doing, accepting me completely as I do her. Idealistic thoughts are often ridiculed, but as it should be, they sometimes become a reality. I have always dreamed of something like this -- I have always wanted it to feel right. I have always desired complete satisfaction in knowing I chose the right woman to love. I do not regret following what I believe in, now that I share my life with Anna and her life.
I suppose that it took me awhile to find out exactly what I wanted in my woman, in the woman who would eventually be mine Anna. Something kept me waiting until I was ready, until that point when I knew what I wanted but did not expect to get it. That's when Anna snuck up on me and captured my heart like the huntress she is. It gives me hope to know that for some inexplicable reason, I am rewarded when I have sufficiently earned it. Could there be a deity Justice?
The time passed through our fingers as we kissed, slipping away quickly and silently. Anna and I ran out of days to do what we had planned on doing and we had to begin to hurry to finish. And then it was time for me to leave. Could there be a deity Justice? Ripping away two lovers from each other and throwing them apart to completely separate worlds? How can such cruelty go unchecked? I went into this already, didn't I?
But I finally passed down that walkway and I looked and looked, and knew exactly where Anna was. She was standing as close as she could to me, behind the security doorframe. I knew where my Anna was. She smiled as only she can smile, and in no time at all, I could no longer see her again. I no longer knew where she was. We had been shut off from each other.
The flight was long, difficult, and turbulent. The movie was at least one that didn't go straight to video. The weather was rainy and the air was freezing. My house was empty, as was my room, for the most part. I was alone. I hate that feeling. Not the feeling more outgoing people get when they feel they need to just be around people, but the feeling that someone whom I should be with can't be with me and is far away.
I'm in a foul mood at the moment and I trade between moods of love and of sadness. After spending three weeks with your lover, you pick up each other's habits and you share them. Anna and I personally became stronger as a couple, as our being physically together made everything seem more real. I had a glimpse of my future, and it has Anna in it. In that woman I see what lies ahead of me. I see sharing my life with her.
But right now we have to put all of that on hold while we go to school. As many colors as learning more and more can shed on someone's life, it still does not make the life of someone without his lover any less black and white. These two, love for another and love for learning, should go hand in hand, together, not independent of each other. Without one or the other, I think, it's difficult to be truly happy.
And I really don't know what to make of everything at this point. I've been overcome with a sort of silence which only loosens its hold when I talk with Anna online. I'm still trying to figure out all these feelings I have, and identify them and toss out the bad ones and savor the good ones. My writing, often terrible and ironically shallow, is not at its best at the moment, but I needed to get this out. I need to connect with my darling Anna any way I can at this point until my body, heart, and mind become accustomed again to the daily grind, the routine.
Anna, precious Anna, what I know for certain is that I want to thank you for giving me the happiest, most comfortable, and most meaningful three weeks in my entire life, and I am extremely happy that I have been able to provide the same joy for you. I want to thank your parents for keeping me the whole time and both our mothers and fathers for doing the extra little things to make our reunion that much more meaningful to us.
Jag älskar dig, min Anna.

Industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific
study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are
applied to issues of critical relevance to business,
including talent management, coaching, assessment,
selection, training, organizational development,
performance, and work-life balance.
Stuart Carr
Massey University
Professor Mike Clarke became chair of Research Methodology at Queen's University in Belfast and director of the All-Ireland Hub for Trials Methodology Research in March this year, after being director of the UK Cochrane Centre since 2002 (http://ukcc.cochrane.org/). Mike has worked actively on more than 30 systematic reviews in a wide range of areas, as well as on large, randomized trials in topics such as maternity care, breast cancer, poisoning, and stroke. He is Podcast and Journal Club Editor for The Cochrane Library (http://www.thecochranelibrary.com/view/0/index.html), and has a strong interest in increasing capacity for the conduct of systematic reviews1 and in improving their accessibility, in particular in low- and middle-income countries. His work on accessibility includes Evidence Aid, which is seeking to make it easier for people in and around organizations planning for and responding to natural disasters and other humanitarian emergencies to use systematic reviews in their decision making (http://www.cochrane.org/cochrane-reviews/evidence-aid-project). Today he speaks to us about this important programmatic development.
1. Mike, can you tell us a little bit more about the Evidence Aid project?
Evidence Aid is an attempt to turn the evidence that has been gathered in research into the knowledge that people planning for, and responding to, natural disasters and other humanitarian emergencies need when they are making decisions and making choices. It arose within The Cochrane Collaboration after the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004, to improve access to information about the effects of healthcare interventions of particular relevance in natural disasters. In health care and human services generally, the last 20 years have seen an increasing recognition of the role of systematic reviews as a key piece in the jigsaw for evidence-based decisions, and it should be no different when faced with a disaster. People in organizations engaged in disaster risk reduction, preparedness, and response want to do more good than harm but don't always have the tools available to allow them to make well-informed decisions that will help individuals, businesses, and communities to recover. They need timely access to high quality, unbiased information on what works and what doesn't work. We shouldn't expect them to have work through dozens, or even hundreds, of research studies to get to this. We need to review this information for them, using well-established, robust methods; and then make it available in a timely, accessible, and understandable format. We can do this through systematic reviews.
2. You mentioned The Cochrane Collaboration, which produces systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions. Does this mean that Evidence Aid just looks at health?
You're right that the Collaboration is focused on health care. In fact, it's the world's largest organization producing systematic reviews of the effects of interventions with upwards of 4,500 reviews already produced and more than 25,000 volunteers in over 100 countries. However, Evidence Aid is now moving beyond health care. Many of the problems faced after disasters and during other humanitarian crises relate to other things: shelter, communication, construction, education, security support, rebuilding jobs, and services for displaced people, to name but a few. There's no reason to believe that systematic reviews can't help to resolve uncertainties and help decision makers who are working directly in, researching, or consulting in these areas. Earlier this year, we were able to appoint Bonnix Kayabu at the Centre for Global Health in Trinity College Dublin, and he has already identified several key areas that we are set to explore in the coming months. To add to this, however, we've launched an Internet survey in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish to gather information from people with relevant experience on their priorities for evidence and how they would like to receive this. The survey is available today from http://www.EvidenceAid.org.
3. Where might industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology come in?
After the initial health-related challenges, such as broken bones, have been dealt with following a disaster, among the biggest challenges remaining are likely to relate to mental health services and psychological well-being. And these are the sorts of problems that could have a major impact on the speed with which people and their communities are able to recover. Organizations need to understand the scale of the problem, the interventions that would help to solve it, and how to implement these. I-O psychology has a key role to play in this. It can help aid and public service organizations to gather data on the number of people affected and identify those in most need of assistance, before moving on to the design and delivery of effective interventions and, and this is something I am especially keen on, providing people and organizations with the opportunity to take part in new studies that will give them access to the best possible alternatives and resolve uncertainties for the future.
4. How might our profession help out more?
There are so many ways, but I'll give you just a few for now. One of the first things we did in Evidence Aid after the Indian Ocean tsunami was to gather the questions that people in the affected region needed answers to, rather than assuming that we might know these ourselves from thousands of miles away. The same remains true. We need I-O psychologists who work in the disaster arena to tell us about the choices they need to make, what their uncertainties are, and what the options might be (for some examples about the impact of stress on disaster workers to community workforce resilience and recovery, see Paton, 2008). It would be great if I-O psychologists would then work with Evidence Aid to tackle these issues through systematic reviews and, when these reviews are done, if they would help to place the findings in context by preparing commentaries.2 We also need them to be advocates for Evidence Aid with their colleagues, to raise awareness of Evidence Aid so that the people who would find it useful can find it. And, of course, we would greatly welcome feedback responses to the needs assessment survey from within the TIP and I-O psychology community (http://www.EvidenceAid.org).
5. Do you want to leave TIP readers with any particular take-home
As practitioners or researchers, our driving motivation should be the desire to do more good than harm. To succeed, we need to gather, provide, and use evidence that is as reliable and up to date as possible. Evidence Aid is striving to achieve this for the tens of millions of people affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises every year, and for the organizations and staff working to assist them. There's a great deal of work to be done, and the more people who can help the better. Sadly, one of the things that we can be certain of about the future is that there will be another earthquake, another tsunami, another hurricane. We need to build Evidence Aid so that it's ready when it's needed and so that it can achieve its goal of easing the pain and suffering that the next disaster might bring.
Thank you so much, Mike, for sharing your news about this important development with our TIP readers. I/we hope it enables much fruitful dialogue, and mutual capacity building.

State Senator Raoul Measure Lets Municipalities Regulate Assault Weapons
Measure passed today also bans the sale and use of bump stocks
SPRINGFIELD, IL — One month after the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, that took the lives of 17 students and teachers, Illinois State Senator Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago 13th) passed legislation in the Senate allowing municipalities to regulate assault weapons and banning the use of bump stocks and trigger cranks.
Currently, the authority to regulate assault weapons rests exclusively with the state, but this legislation returns that power to local governments.
The measure also makes it illegal to sell, manufacture, purchase or possess bump stocks and trigger cranks.
"Students around the country walked out today to remember the victims of the shooting in Parkland, Florida, and urge lawmakers to take action," Raoul said. "I was proud to join my colleagues in a bipartisan show of support for them. But we are in a unique situation. We can do more than host a symbolic demonstration. We can take action, and I am proud that we did today."
Today's vote coincided with a national school walk out, during which thousands of students peacefully protested gun violence and urged legislators to take action. Raoul joined members of the Illinois Senate this morning in a 20-minute walk out in solidarity with the students.
House Bill 1467 passed the Senate 37-16 and now returns to the House for a concurrence vote.

The lesson here is important. People who are allergic to house dust mites may also be allergic to storage mites commonly found living in poorly stored grain. Some scientists prefer to call all these mites 'domestic mites' as they can be found in our homes and work places if the conditions are right. It's best to be safe and not encourage domestic mites in food or the home environment.

If anyone's ever been to eternal Spring City "Kūnmíng" I hope they got to see Michael Jackson Chinese style.
He's got the look down to a T with a unique Chinese twist and flair.
I'll be honest with you, I don't think anyone can EVER outdo the real deal.
In fairness though, Chinese Michael Jackson Guy is a class act and crowd pleaser. Fēicháng yǒu qù watching him moonwalk, spin, flick hat down….grab crotch… all while singing the classic "Dirty Diana". It's an experience to behold.
Oh and lots of Zhōngguórén I've met have told me that it's thanks to Michael Jackson that they picked up their English lingo. Lǐ hài! 非常感谢 Michael!

This time, the clients had a premade idea of the logo, our job was to make it real and make it have a pro look. They wanted to include in the design a wave and sand, in order to recall a beach enviroment. They wanted to transmit calm, and effective pro services. The logo created includes all the essence of their company.

At work last night me and another coworker were discussing how much storage space we had on our phones. Both of us have the Galaxy s9+ which comes with 64gb standard...now he says he is almost maxed out but refuses to get a sd card. Where I have my internal near maxed with movies and I have a 128Gb sd card with around 100Gb of music and pictures.
This got me thinking, on my computer I have close to 14TB of hard drive space and he asked me how much of that is actually used. I checked and realized I'm only using close to 5TB of space, so do I really need to have all that much storage space? Do any of us ever really need as much space as we can get? With cell phones does having a sd card make a difference to you or would Internal memory suite you just fine?
I realize in this day and age with everything digital and peoples need to constantly take pictures, we may be push in by the limits of wha th storage use to be justifiable. But, what if we end up with so much storage that it becomes redundant and pointless.
I use to thing the more the better and having multiple copies of everything was good, but now I'm not so sure. What's everyone's thoughts and opinions on this?
only and 5TB do not make since in the same sentence
The more storage you have the more you use. The less you have the less you really need!
"circulus vitiosus"
Well, yea...but when I have 14Tb of space and just 5Tb is being used it's just wasted not being used
Depends on your normal usage patterns and content, if your a video, photo and music buff always go higher...
I'm currently rocking most mobile devices at between 64-256GB in size but my home NAS currently has a 9TB RAID with around 3TB to spare at present (so maybe 12 months)...but with additional HDD upgrades I can get it to 36TB...
iPad - 64GB with around 9GB spare (movies and apps)iPhone - 128GB with around 20-30GB free (music and apps)NAS - 9TB with 3TB free (HD video and lossless music albums, some software and archive stuff)
How much space is too much? Having petabyte's when your only storing x10 CD's, x5 word documents and a few family photos for posterity
If I added all the hard drives I have and backups of other hard drives o probably would be close to 2 petabytes. But I learned to never have them all going at the same time as hard drive failures suck the life out of you. I guess maybe that's why I have so much space and limit how much I use at any given time due to fear of drive failure.
I think many of the things we are storing, we need only once.Same was in my younger days when we made video recordings from TV.Result:We had a pile of these cartrides, BUT we never watched the films.
And I will tell you a secret: All my really important files can be stored at a 2GB stick!!!!
I write stories and poems, about 12 of my poems have been published. I have numerous copies of my writings because I did lose them all at one point. My family knows if something ever happened to me I want to have a book made of my work. Also, if anyone ever tried to claim my work as their own I uave time stamp proof of my work and when it was written. As for most everything else, pictures and videos from my family that's been handed down are all digitalized and stored to which we have looked at and seen multiple times.
I have an S8, with 64gb and a 16gb card.
Ariund half of the card is taken up with old music, and I have 38 GB free on phone .... The rest is apps, and pre-installed crap n OS.
Pre-iphone 3gs, we were all happy with a 250gb lappy n 3/4 GB on handset (if lucky).
I think, as has been said,.... The more you have, the more you want.
Being brutally honest.... How much space is taken up with crap (cos you can) and media you no longer want/watch/listen to?
In old days, I saved it all, cos was difficult to replace (now it's drag n drop via lappy, or just do direct via torrent etc).
Plus, all my photos (taken on phone n previous handsets) are online in a couple places, plus what I have on the phone..... Prob a good ⅓ is crap and one time used screenshots.
Google photos gives you unlimited storage of photos n cideos., So only need temp on handset.... Half the time, it's being bothered to remove n tidy.up, or fear if you did, it'll vanish from the cloud.mind, I have a few cloud accounts via various accounts (Samsung, Dropbox, Google photos to name a couple). So tho, do have older pics nowhere else.
I think we could all use n need less, but cos it's free (unless you pay extra for handset with extra space) we use it.
I'm using about half the space of my 64GB iPhone. Prior to Apple Music, I would need to get at least the 128GB version as my music collection is close to 100GB. But even though I had all my music with me, I found myself streaming music most of the time through radio apps like Pandora as I wanted to discover new music. So now I use Apple Music and only download the playlists I would want to listen to on an airplane (or other offline situation).
Personally I believe as much as you want is sufficient provided you have what you believe you need. If you only maintain enough storage for you what you need currently, then you always seem to hit a point where you run out. having high amounts of space is also nice because you can partition it out for easier access and storage. Honestly speaking, its always too much space until you don't have any space available, the trick is to never be at a point where you need more.
My personal/work laptop has a 1tb SSD and my NAS at home has 15tb in raid 0 with most of it free. Eventually it will fill up with movies, music, and pictures, but as of right now its less than half full. My gaming computer has 1tb in SSDs and it fluctuates depending on which games I am playing.
I say all of that to say that looking at all that storage I don't consider any of it a waste of space, and will probably expand the storage of the NAS and the gaming computer in the next year or so as files get bigger, games get bigger, etc.
That being said, my phone has 64g and is only half full because I use plex and OneDrive to access my files/media through the cloud and so only apps, pictures and videos take up storage on my phone.
I have an LG G4 32 gig with a 128gb SD bard. I can get buy with this setup but my plan is to go with a 64gb or higher phone if its Android. If I go with iPhone, I will get the biggest storage option available.
Currently my music (spotify downloaded songs and about 30 gigs but originally it was over a 100 gigs until my phone crashed and required a hard reset back to factory spec), pics, vids, and apps that can be installed to the SD are stored there.
I reserve the internal storage for apps.
As to my home system. I have a media center for my iTunes video/audio library, Plex/Kodi Server to store my movie and tv show collection. Its 8TB and almost full. I have image storage and that's about 3 TB and almost full. Plus have another 10TB for backups and idle drives waiting to be used.
All to together I may have around 6 to 8 TB free.
As time progress Digital media quality improves and larger file are created eg 4k 8k and higher pixel photos. I personally like to save my favorite movies TV shows and pictures and would happy to have large storage drives. I think with this shifting goal line it is better to have large and redundant backup drives.
I personally have 256+64 so 320gb of storage on my phone and do no feel like that is excessive. I record a lot of 4K videos and use my phone as a portable media hub with lots of movies for travel.
OMFG, when you consider ...****The movie Avatar needed about 1 PB of storage to render all those graphics** **, that's a shit load of data
They still make those 2GB USB sticks?
On mobile devices, >32Gb is too much. My phone has 32Gb of storage and it's a bit of a hassle to connect it to my computer and browse my files on it; gotta wait for thumbnails to load up.
Get a faster computer when I hook my phone up it loads almost instantly
I have a 2012 MacBook Air with 128GB SSD, and today I regret not having a little more. I do own a couple of external storage units amounting to 5TB total, but whenever I need to work on something on the computer before sending it to an external storage I realize the next time I buy a computer I'll aim higher. I have redundant data saved because one can never be too safe.
My iPhone and iPad both have 64GB and so far I'm doing OK on them. I rely on cloud storage a lot for those, and I offload data constantly to have at least 25% free storage at all times. That said, if I were to really set myself free, this would max up quickly. Mind you, I don't download videos on my phone, and I only download from Netflix on my iPad when I'll travel, and the same for music on my phone. For most of my day-to-day needs, the 64GB on them seems to be enough.
Most of my data is photos, specially on my external drives. I take a lot of photos, both on my phone and my DSLR camera, and I always configure to maximum quality since it's easy to reduce size and quality if I need to, but impossible to increase. I have a lot of different capacity SD and Mini-SD cards, and I swap them constantly, trying to get all of them used in more of less the same amount. None of those cards are "super-high capacity" - 128GB and over - because I have had and heard my share of card failures, so I rather have lots of smaller cards than a few big ones. Again, one can never be too safe.
At least the price per GB is fairly low these days. I remember the days of the Intel 286 systems when a 80MB HDD would set you back a few hundred dollars...
My next laptop will have USB 3.0/Thunderbolt

text: In general: The dream figure of the outlawed shows a person who has positioned himself against the law of the society. In the dream that personality portion of the dreaming who positions himself beyond the law can appear as an outlawed. If the dreaming kills the outlawed in his dream, is this expression of the attempt to control own wild desires or to suppress. Psychologically: Every person owns an anachistische side and longs for being a rebel once in the life. Now and then this wish can manifest itself as a countersexual figure in the dream. If this applies, the dreaming is occupied with the Anima or the Animus. If the dreaming and the outlawed have, nevertheless, the same gender, the dream picks out as a central theme the shade. Spiritually: At this level the outlawed stands for a person who does not keep to the current rules of the spirituality and is expelled, hence. Nevertheless, he should not be disconcerted of it if he has the feeling to be on the right spiritual way. Popular: (arab).: you will be lonesome and have no friends.

This event promises to be filled with exciting activities that will challenge our views of women in the scientific world, and will present an exciting opportunity for you to be inspired, add to your skills, make new connections, discuss your own views with like-minded people and encourage you to goals and careers.

The workshops available on each day are:
Situated right in the heart of England, Oxford is one of the country's academic hubs. It's also an historic and enchanting city, woven into the fabric of UK culture. This combination makeS it the perfect location for a conference debating the future of women in science, engineering, technology and mathematical disciplines. The address can be found below:
Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory
South Parks Road
OX1 3QR Oxford
United Kingdom
Oxford is well-connected with the rest of the UK through both road and railway networks.
The conference venues are approximately a 20 minute walk from Oxford rail station. Direct trains from London take approximately one hour and leave Paddington every 30 minutes. Oxford is also well served from main travel hubs around the country:
Oxford's Park & Ride is the easiest way to get into Oxford City Centre by car - believe us! With five car parks located around Oxford's ring road and fast and frequent bus services until late evening, it is the only sensible way to travel into Oxford City Centre. The nearest is the Seacourt, just off the A34 Botley Interchange. You will need to get off at the St Aldates road bus stop just outside the town hall. From there the conference venue is just a 5-10 minute walk through the town centre. Please note there is no parking space available at the venue. While there is parking in the city centre, it is very expensive and Oxford's one way system makes it a challenge for newcomers.
The Oxford Tube coach service runs to and from London every 15 minutes during the day (2 hours), complete with free wifi and power points. Additionally, all the major bus companies, including National Express, Megabus and Stagecoach, operate from Oxford Bus Station to various locations across the UK. The bus station itself is a 15 minute walk from the venue.
While Oxford does not have its own airport, there are regular coach services connecting Oxford with each of the major London airports; Heathrow (1 hour), Gatwick (2 hours) and Luton (2 hours) airport. They terminate at the bus station in Oxford city centre.
We kindly ask that you arrange your own accommodation during the conference. On the Sunday, the conference will finish by 17:30 latest, leaving enough time for you to catch trains back if you wish. There are many hostels and hotels in the area, some of the less expensive ones are listed below. College accommodation is also available through University Rooms, though prices and availability can vary drastically depending on dates.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'iPod' started by Sesshi, Feb 12, 2008.
How can I see which computers (not just how many) are authorised to play on iTunes?
As far as I know you can't. But if you find out how I'll be interested to know....
That's what I was scratching my head over. Napster actually shows you, but I can't get iTunes to do the same.
Failing that, is there a way to deauthorise all PC's but the one you're accessing the iTunes account on?
Only when you've reached your limit of 5 authorisations. If you go to your account you get the option to de-authorise all machines. Then you re-authorise the machine you're accessing your account with.
I'll do that.
BTW, unless they've changed the policy, you can only do that once a year. So use it with care (or contact support if you need to do it again and talk them into it).
That deauthorizes just the computer you're on. But if you no longer have access to the other authorized computers (sold them, forget to deauthorize before reinstalling an OS, etc.) you can deauthorize all of them at once.
How do you de-auth them all at once on the PC then?

Sebi mulls asking buyers to make open offer for up to 100% stake
Sebi mulls asking buyers to make open offer for up to 100% stake
Mumbai: Corporate acquisitions in India could become costlier with market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) mulling making it mandatory for acquirers to make an offer for up to 100% stake in any listed company.
The capital markets regulator has set up a Takeover Regulatory Advisory Committee, with former Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) presiding officer C. Achuthan as chairman, to look into suitable changes in the existing takeover regulations.
While any changes are expected to take effect from the next fiscal only, the committee is said to be seriously looking at increasing the open offer size from 20% to as high as 100%, while it might also increase the open offer trigger limit from 15%, sources said.
While an increase in open offer size could mean larger cash outgo for the acquirers, the step is being considered in the larger interest of retail and other public shareholders.
As per the current practice, all the public shareholders do not necessarily get an exit option even if the ownership of a company changes hands, as the open offer size need not exceed 20%.

While many animals give birth to their young in spring, sea otters are often born in the depths of winter. If that were not a chilly enough introduction to the world, the single pup is born at sea, where it will remain for most of its life.
Remarkably, the pup cannot swim or dive until it is three or four months old, so it will spend its early life balanced on its mother's chest. When away foraging, the devoted mother will wrap her pup in kelp to keep it from floating away.
Sea otters live in offshore forests of this giant kelp, and they eat, sleep and groom on the water's surface. The adults congregate in single-sex groups called rafts, sometimes linking themselves together. They are found in two areas of the world: the Pacific coast of Russia and Alaska, and along the central Californian coast. January and February are the best times to see the new mothers here, lounging on the chilly coastal waters of Monterey Bay.
Come springtime, when food is abundant, the young otter will have grown its adult coat – the densest fur in the animal kingdom with up to a million hairs per square inch – and be ready to fend for itself. It was for this thick pelt that sea otters were hunted almost to extinction in the early 20th century, and though there are now 3,000 in California alone, and they are legally protected, the species remains endangered.
But with its water-repellant fur, webbed feet and a lung capacity more than twice that of a similar–sized land mammal (it can dive to more than 90m, holding its breath for anything up to five minutes), the sea otter is perfectly adapted to its life on the ocean waves. What's more, it's the only marine mammal that catches fish with its forepaws. But perhaps the sea otter's most amazing talent is that it can use rocks as tools to break open the shells of the molluscs that it eats. It keeps these tools in a handy pocket of skin on its chest, which it also uses as a food store. Otterly ingenious!

Things I will be doing this weekend…
1. Not skiing. My foot still doesn't like walking. Luckily it's so cold outside that I can't feel it.
2. Drinking and smoking in a hot tub!
3. Homework by the fire place while my friends are out in the cold skiing. Is it weird that I'm a little bit excited this?
4. Crock pot potluck. I didn't make anything, but I know there will be lasagna, brisket, pulled pork…my friends are nice people who cook delicious things.
5. Drinking games and probably a lot of cards against humanity. Our most popular card games are fuck box (spoiler alert: everyone gets fucked by the box..hard) and horse races. The BF is a good announcer.
That's it for awhile. I've got no service up there and will be thankful for the disconnection (until I cave for the wifi). Happy weekend!

Jun 14 2016
We're approximately five months out from the general election for the presidency, and after a long and protracted battle for the nomination, we have presumptive candidates for both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Both presidential candidates have strong opinions on issues that will affect our nation for the next four years of their potential presidency and beyond. It's important to note that thus far, education hasn't been a big topic of discussion in the presidential primaries, with debates focusing on issues related to the economy and immigration.
Trump's campaign website minimally addresses education in the "issues" section (and not the more visible "positions" section). Clinton's website has two sections in the issues page dedicated to education (one for K-12 and one for early childhood education). Notably, in this election, because education hasn't yet been a big topic of conversation, it's up to the voter to pursue information on their own to try to get a feel for the reforms their preferred candidate might make. From their campaign websites, it's easier to decipher Clinton's education policy platform; Trump has been more reluctant to define his opinions on education aside from his strong support of moving away from federal oversight to more local control.
The table below showcases some of the "hot button" issues in education of the moment, and the current standings (as of June 2016) of the two presumptive presidential candidates.
|Common Core
|In Favor
|Supports universal pre-K
|Federal Oversight
|In Favor
|Free Community College
|In Favor
|School Choice
|In Favor (in public system)
|In Favor
In February, Trump emphasized, "We need to fix our broken education system!" and he has previously advocated for school choice, saying "Competition is why I'm very much in favor of school choice. Let schools compete for kids. I guarantee that if you forced schools to get better or close because parents didn't want to enroll their kids there, they would get better. Those schools that weren't good enough to attract students would close, and that's a good thing."* School choice is the most specific issue that Trump has recently addressed (aside from common core); it's a fitting focus for him, given his background in business.
Clinton has spoken on numerous education related issues recently. To compare their views on common core, Clinton recently said, "I know Common Core started out as a, actually non-partisan, not bi-partisan, a non-partisan effort that was endorsed very much across the political spectrum…What went wrong? I think the roll-out was disastrous…Remember a lot of states had developed their own standards and they'd been teaching to those standards. And they had a full industry that was training teachers to understand what was going to be tested. And then along comes Common Core and you're expected to turn on a dime."* Trump strongly opposes common core and federal oversight in general.
The biggest difference between the two candidates will likely come down to the struggle between local and federal control when it comes to supervising education reform and ensuring that every child has access to a quality education. Based on her campaign website, Clinton seems more likely to flex her power as president to support educational reform, supporting recent reforms like ESSA and pushing for additional policy platforms like the expansion of public pre-K and college access. Trump, on the other hand, favors local oversight, meaning that he will likely play a minimal role in education reform; he has alluded to potentially cutting the budget of the Department of Education (perhaps significantly). In general, Clinton has offered more specific opinions and suggestions on everything from charter schools and ESSA to the concept behind the common core as well as its implementation, while Trump has stuck to more general statements about federal involvement in education.
Clinton and Trump are just beginning the battle against one another post-primary. It remains to be seen whether education will become a topic of debate this election season.

Unprecedented; If there's a word that Cloud Atlas can possibly be boiled down to, that's the one. For while there is certainly the blood lines of The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, The Tree of Life, Inception and more coursing through its veins, Cloud Atlas is an animal unlike any seen before it in the annals of film history. Featuring some of the most exquisitely shot bursts of action alongside heaping helpings of Terry Gilliam-esque humorous hijinks and the year's greatest ensemble, the film is a cinematic triumph, one that will have you stunned, elated, and desperate to see it again as you pass through the theater's doors.
In a normal film review, this would be the place where a basic plot summary is given, but since Cloud Atlas could be described as a film about everything with diverse plot lines ranging from an escape from a retirement home by an elderly British quartet in the modern day to a post apocalyptic journey to Hell at the end of the world to a runaway slave's journey on a British trading vessel in the 1840's, it's better to let you discover the story (stories?) for yourself, and instead try to put into words how this incredibly vast canvas that directors Tom Tywker (Run Lola Run) and Andy and Lana Wachowski (The Matrix) chose to pain on moved me, scrambled my brain, made me laugh, made me gasp, and at the end say "What was that and why don't more filmmakers try it?"
This is a film, like many, defined by an unquenchable love. But where most love stories are tied to the life of those who are caught up in it, Cloud Atlas is able to move beyond these boundaries, showing a love able to freely soar across genders, races, and social classes throughout millenniums. While this is a wonderful notion and beautiful to witness, what is perhaps even more powerful is that love is shown to be a never ending process. Love it seems isn't the only thing that is eternal: hatred, evil, and prejudices always seem to pop up just when it seems like the characters in the film have found their happy ending. No, love is not the idea by itself, but the struggle for its consummation on the one hand and the utter annihilation of it on the other; this furious ying/yang is the drumbeat to which this chaotic and majestic piece of work marches. The battle of good and evil? Yes, as trite as it may sound on the surface, it's about that: how the two sides are often disguised from each other, the lengths they will go to assure victory, and how in the end every decision made along the way will have impacted the final result. This is a story about love, good, evil, sacrifices, and consequences; in short, its film about us reaching for our dreams and about the darknesses that try to keep us and our desires apart from one another.
There are many unique facets that contribute to one of the more thrilling experiences that I have ever had in a theater starting with the direction and editing. Linking six different stories together with the use of "The Cloud Atlas Sextet" as connecting material, the three filmmakers onboard expertly weaved through scenes reminiscent at times of the emotionally shattering Saving Private Ryan at others as adrenaline pulsing as The Matrix and still others as hilarious as a good Monty Python sketch. Each of the six stories could have easily been their own film, with none standing out as a particularly weak link and all of them complementing each other with simultaneously disparate tones, but unified themes. Calling to mind Tree of Life, Magnolia, and Inception, this film was probably an editor's nightmare, but the end result, like the piece of music it's based around is a moving, vibrant, masterwork. As funny as it is heartbreaking, as over the top as it is restrained, as epic as it is intimate, this is one that could have been a mess, but instead gathers the best of all possible worlds, with nary a note feeling out of place.
Just as cohesive is the film's wonderful ensemble. In a move that would make Andy Serkis blush, each member of the cast is allowed to portray multiple roles (some up to six), allowing them like their directors every opportunity to stretch their thespian muscles both dramatic and comedic. Jumping at the opportunity is lead Tom Hanks who gives one of his three best ever performances here, playing at times a disgusting villain with a wicked brutality, a hilarious gangster, and a heartbreaking near-silent hero speaking a strange variation of English that makes Shakespeare easy to comprehend. Using every part of himself, whether his voice, his eyes, or his physicality, Hanks is stunning here, disappearing into each of his six roles. He never distracts from the overall piece, playing each character as a variation of the last, showing a soul's progression, hinting both at the past and the future, but still getting lost in each and every moment of an individual's journey. Hanks won't come close to an Oscar for this, but his bravery and performance are more than deserving of one.
Nearly as impressive as Hanks is Jim Broadbent, who perhaps not called upon to show quite the same range, is still able to steal the film whenever he bursts onto the scene. Like Hanks, Broadbent is called upon to play both a hero and villain in different sections, both of which he succeeds at with startling success. Where Hanks is perhaps meant to give the film gravitas and heart, Broadbent is given the film's funny-bone, lightening the proceedings just when they seem pitch black and offering audiences a chance to recover from some of the film's most grim moments. His is not a slight turn in anyway, however, with one character entirely loveable and at least two others just as horrible as Hank's villain.
If we want to talk about true evil, though, no one in the film is better at it, or indeed given more practice than Hugo Weaving. A villain in each of the six stories, Weaving creates a persona that although stretching from the a business suit clad assassin (sound familiar?) to an Asian bureaucrat, to a Nurse Ratched wannabe, is every bit the equal of his Agent Smith from the Matrix Trilogy. A malevolent force in whatever form, this evil will stop at nothing to kill love and is often the film's driving force.
While these three stand out on a first viewing, each and every member of the ensemble including Ben Whishaw, Doona Bae, and Halle Berry fits in perfectly and are truly brilliant in their own right. Having a chance to play different races, genders, and ages, all step up to the plate and instead of delivering embarrassing caricatures or getting lost from one character to another, do an excellent job of letting each character serve the whole, showing that as the script says every kindness and every injury will impact the past, present, and future. Despite the heavy latex or CGI that the actors are caked in, more often than not, the chemistry between them always seems to shine through.
In short, this film, which I cannot wait to see again and again is a daring marvel. The technical accomplishments alone make this a mandatory viewing for any serious movie fans, but for those willing to dig deeper, to hang on during the wild and crazy ride that is Cloud Atlas will find a poetic, explosive joy: the film of the year so far and one that will be hard pressed to be beat.
Initial Rating: 10/10

St Cross Electronics
Mono Championship
Adrian Wright took pole, with Ewen Sergison the fastest car-engined competitor (1800). Andrew Colebrooke took a very impressive 1600 pole. Eddie Guest , Tony Cotton and Jock Sergison all had shortened qualifying due to a broken shocker for Eddie, a loose suspension attachment for Tony and cause unknown for Jock. The common feature to the repairs was that Ewen got involved in all of them as a source of welding, bolts and insults respectively, though Tony did specifically ask me to thank Lee and Brian Bennett for their invaluable skills in fixing his car.
Adrian Wright led each lap of the race and won, though that's a little misleading. Jeremy Timms shadowed him, about a second behind, until (I stand to be corrected) something broke in the chicane before the banking, spinning Jeremy and leaving the car at 90 degrees to the track. At first it looked as if the car might be moveable under flags, and a safety car was signalled, but it soon became clear the car was stranded and there was no alternative to a second race for this group being red flagged.
Kevin Waring initially gave chase to Jeremy, but didn't maintain his and Adrian's pace. He was increasingly closely followed by the rapid Dallara of Graham Read until lap 5 where they were very close and lap 6 when Graham got ahead. They ended with second and third podium steps.
Geoff Fern and Jonathan Reed initially looked to be out to have a close race but Jonathan pulled away. Of the remaining Motos, Craig Hurran had an off on the first lap but got up to 7th. He joined Jeremy in the chicane as a spinner which dropped him down the order, losing 15 seconds. Len Turner enjoyed himself, as usual, racing with the car engines, in this case Andrew Colebrook and Doug McLay.
Mark Draghicescu joined the new DTec class, bringing support from the very experienced Speedsport equipe of Mike O'Brien, famous in my mind for a dominant F3 win at the British GP. Mark was ahead of fellow Duratec driver Doug McLay by 4 places on the track, and behind almost inevitable 1800 victor Ewan "that car of my dad's is nothing to do with me" Sergison. Current 1800 champion Paul Britten was second in class while welcome returnee Adrian Heath was third, having had fun with the 1600s. Similarly, Andrew Colebrooke in the legendary TFR RF89 won 1600 while being in amongst the Duratecs and 1800s. The 1600 class ran to form, with Dave Parkinson second to Andrew, Eddie Guest next up with Tony Cotton and Jock Sergison, in the ever developing innovative Highlander III, completing the class. Tony started reasonably but spun with tyre smoke at Tarzan, and never really made up the time from that. Donington victor Matt Walters had a puzzling understeer off on lap 4 along the un-named straight between "Gracelands" and "Tarzan".

"Money only has a value because we all agree it has," said one participant during yesterday's discussion on alternative currencies at CityCamp Brighton. With our current economic model prone to boom and bust, alternative currencies were explored, complementing existing currencies and potentially building more resilience into the economy. Could any of the ideas we discussed act as genuine alternatives to our primary economic model?
Local pounds: City Pounds are a concept that has taken off in some areas of the UK, with the Totnes Pound being a particularly successful example. "A local economy is like a leaky bucket," says the Totnes Pound website, "wealth comes in and as soon as it is spent at a shop or business that has more connections outside Totnes than inside Totnes, that money disappears." The Totnes Pound can only be spent at local stores accepting the currency, ensuring the money remains in the local economy.
Time-based currencies: Most people value their time, so could time itself be used as an alternative currency? Japan's Hureai Kippu system (that's "Caring Relationship Tickets") allows people to 'bank' the hours that they spend looking after an elderly or disabled person, building up time in a 'bank account'. As our global population ages and urbanises, could a time-based currency like this be an affordable alternative for looking after elderly populations? And could it be used for other services too?
The Wörgl Experiment: With just 40,000 Austrian schillings in the bank in 1932, the Mayor of Wörgl decided to use that money as a guarantee for creating a stamp script – essentially, the town's own currency. Unlike other currencies, the stamp script decreased in value each month, meaning those who received it spent it quickly. As a result, the town paved the streets, rebuilt the water system, and built new houses, a ski jump and a bridge. As other nearby towns began to copy the experiment, Austria's central bank panicked and shut the project down, making it illegal to issue emergency currency.
The Trade Reference Currency: Terra, or the Trade Reference Currency, is a concept by a Belgian Economist for a global currency whose value is based on 9-12 of the world's most important commodities. By underpinning its value in this way, the currency is supposedly resistant to inflation. Though global by definition, could local currencies, such as the Totnes Pound, follow a similar approach based on commodities produced in the local area?
