2003 - Golcar, Huddersfield, UK: Possible Abduction Mark Photographed (please click to enlarge and study)
Message received from witness 26/03/17:
"Hi there, had a few strange experiences myself and was just browsing your site and saw pictures similar to what I or my ex partner woke up with one morning; can't remember which. but there were bumps in the night and didn't seem at all earthly; anyways this is the photo.
The year was 2003 at best estimate, and the location Golcar, Huddersfield and happened at a similar time that I recorded an EVP that I may still have; hopefully will try to find it.
I have had too many inexplicable experiences in my life - and now when I'm bored I have started looking for some answers.
Cheers *****"
Update on the EVP
"OMG, just found the EVP recording. I pretty much got a new desktop and digital camera, the web was basic but still had good stuff: I found a site explaining how to make an EVP, something like record everything below 40hz then discard anything above; once saved, modulate recording up to either 44khz or 16khz, cant remember - but first one I did, blew me away!
The house I just bought was an old weavers cottage, and some famous old monk hid out or lived on Scapegoat Hill nearby. I'm not saying to you what I can hear on this EVP, I will let you decide. but still makes my skin go weird; glad I found it...
Sorry for the blast but also found the original recording before I put the 40hz low pass filter on, I remember it had to be re sampled not modulated but amounts to same thing I think.
It's in .wav format windows media player will play it. (>>>listen here<<<)
Possible UFO Experience
Anyways, I have seen one or two UAP's but my main experience is from a different time; I lived at 1 Highfield Farm Cottages Winterton, with my partner at the time; went to bed, nothing unusual, however, during the night a really loud click woke us up, together at the same instant: It was as if we had been wide awake for hours, not sleepy, just alert and a bit concerned.
We looked around the room confused trying to find out what the noise was, nothing, I then looked out of the window around outside and noticed a star in the distance which was a little sparkly. Fragmented like a sparkler not twinkling, which was getting closer, I called my girlfriend over to look then it was apparent this was not right; the sparkling thing now was near enough above us and was getting bigger.
We both ran downstairs and outside when it was directly above the house because we couldn't see it anymore and wanted to see WTF it was. As we got out it was still moving in the same direction however after a few seconds this craft went up like a shooting star but not up into space... it went into the distant stars, so this wasn't up! this was light years away in a fraction of a second.
I feel so privileged just to know, however when the abduction marks appeared about 5 yrs later, that was getting put in our very own X-files lol . Now I take stuff like this more seriously as I feel that night in Winterton I had just been put back in bed wide awake..
Also, I woke another night at the same house with something playing with my genitalia for a few seconds, but write that one of to sleep paralysis ... hopefully fingers crossed; omg I hope it was!
Thanks *****"

NetApp RespondsBy Sharon Linsenbach | Print
Re-Imagining Linux Platforms to Meet the Needs of Cloud Service Providers
NetApp's decision to kill off its StoreVault product, targeted to the SMB market and sold through NetApp's channel partner solution providers, is raising eyebrows across the industry, and opening up opportunities for the storage giant's competition.
Julie Parrish, NetApp's vice president of worldwide channel sales, says NetApp will focus resources on the vendor's FAS2000 platform, and will release "channel-only FAS2020 NetApp Select Bundles that will provide our MSE customers with enterprise level performance at a mid-market price point along with easier ordering options," Parrish says. She adds that NetApp will continue to support the current S family customer base into 2012.
By consolidating this product platform, NetApp solution providers will have what Parrish calls a more "market-competitive set of products based on NetApp's unified storage architecture," and also a more seamless upgrade path to higher-end NetApp storage products as customers' businesses grow.
Kornfeld says solution providers were shocked when the product was eliminated, since they'd invested so much into driving sales to their customers.
"It's like, 'I have this product now – I paid for hardware, software, maintenance, and now you're telling me I have to rip and replace?'" Kornfeld says.
Of course, this decision does open up avenues for Clifford's firm to go after disgruntled NetApp customers who are looking for an alternative vendor, such as Compellent, with whom the Davenport Group partners.
"I can tell you that these customers will have a disinclination to go back to a vendor that's burned them," Clifford says. "That said, we do see this as an opportunity and we will be putting plans together to identify some that client base and reach out to them," he says.

Her money quote:
If Ronald Reagan were alive right now, watching the GOP split into these tantrum-throwing factions (whereby "perfection" is duly defined as "pro-life, pro-gun, pro-free-market, pro-worship, pro-Bush-doctrine, pro-tax-cut, pro-ship-back-all-illegals" and then, as each less-than-perfect candidate's failure on one or more issues is noted, each are thus deemed unworthy of the support of the pristine and uncompromising "base") I think he'd be disgusted with the lot of you.I know how she is feeling, although I would also be very willing to mention the way that far too many remained quiet in the face of Huckabee's Mormon-baiting.
But let's be serious, when those who dissented from the base on the Harriet Miers issue got labeled party hacks who had sold their souls, whereas those who forced her withdrawal before there were even hearings to determine if she was qualified were principled. Then there was the labeling of those who supported the President's approach on immigration as traitors on multiple occassions.
Yeah, I can't blame AJ for remaining an independent,. I really cannot blame the Anchoress for her decision to hit the loud handle.
I've been close, too. If, for no other reason than comments like this one from Redstate:
Some vocal supporters and sycophants of the Romney campaign have deluded themselves into thinking that if a voter does not like Mitt Romney, he must be anti-Mormon bigots.Yeah, sure - let's pay no attention to that Vanderbilt study that shows that some of the reasons he cited may have just been code words. Let's ignore the fact that Huckabee's own research director said that most evangelicals would hang their hats on "flip-flop" as their reason to vote for someone else, but that the real reason would be that Romney was Mormon. And it is hard to dismiss the apparent coincidence of Huckabee's strongest showings (winning Iowa, a close second in South Carolina) coming in states where the politics of religious identity came into play. And Huckabee clearly was playing those politics.
Sorry, but if it looks like anti-Mormon bigotry and sounds like anti-Mormon bigotry, there's a good chance that such bigotry is a factor.
Maybe the bigotry is over-emphasized, but the perception of bigotry exists. That perception is not just happening vis-a-vis religion, but it also seems to end up being perceived by Hispanics in the recent debates on immigration, and that has Karl Rove worried:
Will the GOP take the hint? The party's future may depend on it. Folks like AJ-Strata, Anchoress, and I ought to be folks the GOP should count on for votes at least. AJ has, however, chosen to remain unaffiliated, the Anchoress is going to go back to being unaffiliated, and I have been considering it.
HH: You're a student of American political history. Religion has played more of a role in the Republican primary than at anytime since 1960, or even 1928. Do you think, if Romney's not the nominee, that the LDS, which is a significant portion in some states of the Republican values base, or on the other hand, Evangelicals who are literalists, are easily brought back in if their guy isn't on the ticket?
KR: Oh, I think so. I do think so. And I think, look, again, it's, they're not drawn into politics simply because of the presence of Mitt Romney as LDS, though they applaud that. They're brought in by the fact that he's a person of deep personal faith, who has espoused socially conservative values, and fiscally conservative values, and has a life record that they find attractive. I don't think it is the only thing, or even the principal thing that drives a lot of LDS to vote Republican. And so you need to be worried about does it look like if, does it look like 1928? I think it did hurt the Republican Party long term, that it looked like we were anti-Catholic. And so we've got to make certain that we don't look anti-anything. We need to be for something. And to the degree that that happens, depending on what, you know, if a Huckabee doesn't win, or Romney doesn't win, or if their supporters who are going to feel…if they feel welcomed, are going to remain and be enthusiastic in the fall, particularly given a choice between our likely nominee, whoever that is, and the Democrats' likely nominee, whom I suspect will be Hillary Clinton.
HH: We've got a minute left, Karl Rove. You warned about the cliff of turning Latino-Americans against the Republican Party. Have we gone over that? Or are we dancing on it? Or have we drawn back from it?
KR: Well, we're dancing on it. I don't think we've drawn back, and I don't think we've gone over the cliff. But we are, we are at a point where we'd better be very careful about this. I understand people's deep concerns about securing our borders, and about being overwhelmed by a wave of illegal immigration, and about giving amnesty, which is the forgiveness of an offense without penalty. But we have to be very careful about not looking like we…look, we did this once before. We did this in the 1920's when Republican congresses and a Republican president passed legislation that essentially shut the door to Jews and Italians coming into the United States. And we suffered for thirty years, forty years as Jews and Italian-Americans remembered sort of the closing of the door to people who looked and acted and thought like them, and came from the same part of the world originally in order to become Americans. We've got to be very careful about that.
The GOP needs to think about its course very hard.

I once attended a content management systems (CMS) summit in Abuja Nigeria. I met some amazing people (Job Thomas and Marjorie Asturias) who worked for Automattic (owners of WordPress), they encouraged participants to apply for work with Automattic. They were happy and really proud of their company. So, after the summit, I decided to apply for a role (Happiness Engineer) I found interesting and matched what I could do.
I made my application via email as stated in the application procedure and got a response. I was given a task which I did but unfortunately, I did not proceed to interview neither was I given the job due to some reasons.
But the interesting part about the application was the final email I got. Although I felt bad because I wasn't offered the job, the email relieved and encouraged me to a great extent. In this mail, I was encouraged to apply again, I was told what to do better in my next application and some books were recommended for me to read and develop myself. This meant so much to me and speaks volumes of the company's culture.
Later on, I read one of the recommended books which was "Delivering Happiness" and it helped me a lot. I learned so much from this book, it improved my perspective about customer service.
So what can recruiters learn from Automattic's hiring team?
1. Learn to respond to applicants without damaging their self confidence even though they don't qualify. It helps keep them motivated to pursue their careers.
2. Applicants are also human; treat them as one. Communication helps in making them feel important despite not having the required skills. The idea of "only shortlisted candidates would be contacted" is not friendly and creates room for suspicion.
3. If possible, point out to the applicant where they missed it and make resource recommendations that will help the job seeker become better.

"Sports: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Look at that. Video games require skill. Many of them are difficult, and they require quick thinking. Sometimes they include motion controls which involves physical exertion. You might argue that that they don't always have motion controls. And I say video games will ALWAYS have more physical exertion than chess. And you need to be either dexterous or strategic to excel.
You could argue that video games are bad for you, because you sit around all day and stare at a tv screen. But really, video games, at least once in a while, because it's excersizing your brain and how it thinks. Video games, much like chess, requires strategy and critical thinking. Take Portal 2 for example. Glados says that each level is a test, but it's really a cool looking puzzle for your brain. So, it's like " ok I have to get the button with the cube, but I can't just shoot a portal there, because there are so surfaces I can shoot, but there is an aerial faith plate over there and I can shoot a portal over the faith plate and I'm standing on a portal able surface, so I place a portal there and there, and I've solved the puzzle." That took excessively long, but you can see what I mean. I'd like to bring up one more thing before I finish. In the days of that the Atari was popular, video chess was made, which was chess, AND a video game. So, here's a question for you (rhetorical, of course) If this video game is Chess, is it a sport or not? That's up to you to decide.
As the title says, chess is a sport. It requires strategy, is played worldwide, and is a competitive game. Those same principals can, and are - applied to video games. In my personal opinion, gaming takes much more mental prowess than say chess. You have to learn how your opponents play, you have to practice, and you have to understand the rules of each game - and how each game works. Unlike other sports, such as football, soccer, basketball, and etc. - gaming is not focused on one specific game. There are hundreds upon hundreds of individual games, all with completely different styles and methods of playing. From FPS' to RTS', both that are almost completely unalike - but they all go under the name of 'gaming'. Although some may not like it, and I am not sure why - gaming is now the most popular form of entertainment in the United States, going ahead of the movie and music industry. That's quite a feat to accomplish, and both the movie and music industry have been around for well over a decade - while gaming has only been around for around half of that. The difference between movies, television, and music - is that you aren't experiencing something that someone else is doing, but rather - you are the one interacting in a world where everyone is sharing the same experience with you. If we take all of this in, and add in the facts that there are formal teams, holding formal championships, and with monetary stakes and titles at hand, it would be absurd not to say that video games are a sport.
According to chess.Com, Chess is not a sport. According to chesssport.Com, Chess is a sport. If you define sport as, "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." -Oxford Dictionary, then both chess and videos are not sports. If you define a sport as, "entertainment or fun competition", leaving out the physical exertion part, then you could call them both sports. I would say whichever definition you go with, they fall into the same category. They are either both sports or neither sports.
Video games is not a sport. It requires sitting on a couch while football, which Is a real sport, requires running and jumping and actually being outside. Yes, video games are fun, but there's no purpose for it other than relaxing on the couch when there is nothing else to do.

Ban on BOOKS for kids under 12 AND BAN kids under 12 from our LIBRARIES!?!?!?
from http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=1573
January 22nd, 2009 Category: Government Information
The American Library Association (ALA) today expressed dissatisfaction with a public meeting held by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to discuss the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and whether the law, which requires children's products to undergo stringent testing for lead, should apply to ordinary, paper-based children's books.
Under the current opinion issued by the General Counsel of the CPSC, the law would apply to books for children under the age of 12; therefore, public, school, academic and museum libraries would be required to either remove all their children's books or ban all children under 12 from visiting the facilities as of February 10.
During the meeting, members of a panel including representatives of the American Association of Publishers (AAP) as well as major book publishers and ink manufacturers, addressed questions raised by the CPSC rulemaking committee regarding the testing procedures and methodologies currently exercised in the production of an ordinary book.
The panel presented a collection of data reinforcing their position that ordinary books pose no inherent threat. This information can be viewed here. Though the CPSC acknowledged that the current deadlines are unrealistic and potentially damaging, the General Counsel gave no clear indication as to when an official ruling would be made and could offer no definite direction to libraries at this point.
"It is completely irresponsible and unacceptable for the CPSC to continue to leave this matter unresolved with the February 10th deadline drawing closer each day," ALA President Jim Rettig said.
"It is apparent that the CPSC does not fully understand the ramifications this law will have for libraries – and for children – if libraries are not granted an exemption. At this point, we are advising libraries not to take drastic action, such as removing or destroying books, as we continue to hope this matter will be rectified and that the attention will be paid to the products that pose a true threat to children. However, we find it disappointing and shameful that a government agency would continue to leave this matter unsettled when clearly the outcome would virtually shut down our nation's school and public libraries."

Banning books..that's really extreme. I can understand that books could be contaminated and need to be checked. If a child has Multiple Chemical Sensitivities they could easily be allergic to the paper, ink, and other chemicals used to make books, newspaper, magazines, etc. I suffered from it as a child, and still as an adult. Certain paper and ink would cause me to get really ill. But I learned to stay away from them. To start banning books, book burning, etc. That's insane. Too extreme.ReplyDelete

No More 'Wright Stuff' Headlines
I will miss NBCU Chairman Bob Wright. He answered my calls and stood on principle on issues I shared his passion for.
Of course, now that I think about it, Jeff Zucker once returned my call from the back of a car in transit between appointments, so maybe that is a good sign going forward. I don't know what his passions are beyond outprogramming the competition.
NBC held out the longest against the V-Chip/ratings systems, which I applauded when I thought the system would chill content. But with the FCC around to do that, the chip became first an innocuous apendage and now the hope for First Amendment freedom.
So, when NBC decided to join the other networks use the content descriptors–V for violence, L for langauge–I applauded that too because once broadcasters could say they had an effective blocking tool, they should be as free from FCC content regs as The Playboy Channel.

Seven police, fire and emergency medical technicians sued Arkema in Harris County District Court for at least $1 million, alleging negligence by the company and executives led flammable organic peroxides stored at the site to ignite after the plant lost power during the storm.
Mr Guterres offered to support any efforts to peacefully resolve "this alarming situation". When asked what is the most serious threat in today's world, the United Nations chief said it was "the nuclear threat in relation to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ".
Meanwhile, the United States is still unwavering in its threat to cut off trade with any nation doing business with North Korea . North Korea had said the latest test was an advanced hydrogen bomb. The council diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he expected negotiations on the draft resolution to lead to some changes that could address Russian and Chinese concerns.
Plateau United of Jos have won the Nigeria Professional Football League, the first time in the club's history . Can MFM survive the El-Kanemi cauldron to snatch the title? "El-Kanemi are one of the teams who have done very well at home this season".
China supports further United Nations action in response to North Korea's latest nuclear test but also wants to see renewed efforts to begin dialogue involving all sides, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Thursday. The Russian leader will meet with Abe later in the day. South Korea has said the launchers for the USA missile defense system known as Thaad would be installed in the face of the growing threat from Pyongyang.
A United States official confirmed to Reuters that Defense Secretary James Mattis has ordered the deployment while the Pentagon said it would not make any announcement until the general speaks out. Let's get out! "Let's get out of Afghanistan". And he noted that the security threats in Afghanistan are "immense", and made the case that it is key to protecting the U.S.
Seonju residents and activists have raised worries over rumored health hazards linked to the system's powerful radar and the possibility the town will become a target of North Korean attacks. South Korea's Defense Ministry couldn't immediately confirm when the four launchers added on Thursday will be operationally capable. South Korean President Moon Jae-in noticed the spiritual resemblance of Vladimir Putin to the Amur tiger during his meeting with the Russian president on September 7.
Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping committed on a phone call on Wednesday to "take further action with the goal of achieving the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula", the White House said. China hopes North Korea will "see the situation clearly and come to the right judgment and choice", Mr Wang said. Aside from secondary sanctions, and amid questions about whether a pre-emptive United States attack could be effective, Trump has chose to flex USA muscle by arming China's regional ...
South Koreans who live near the area and activists who prefer engagement with the North and fear upsetting major trading partner China have maintained protests against THAAD in the area. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Moon Jae-in spoke at a regional meeting in the eastern Russian city of Vladivostok and agreed to persuade China and Russia to cut off oil to North Korea as much as possible, according to South Korean officials.
The Abraham Lincoln , along with the amphibious assault ship Iwo Jima and transport dock ship NY, have left Norfolk , Virginia and are making their way south while trying to avoid the hurricane, US officials said. "These ships are capable of providing medical support , maritime civil affairs, maritime security, expeditionary logistic support, medium and heavy lift air support, and bring a diverse capability including assessment and security", the Navy said.
Hundreds of South Koreans have clashed with security forces in a village where the US military is to start installing launchers of the USA anti-missile system created to protect them against mounting threats from North Korea. "But we will not be putting up with what's happening in North Korea", Trump told reporters, although he offered no specifics. In South Korea, thousands of police officers in riot gear swarmed some 400 protesters who had been occupying a road leading to the site where ...
South Korea's Defense Ministry has made a decision to temporarily install four additional launchers of the U.S. THAAD antimissile system on Thursday, making the six-launcher battery fully operational. China strongly objects to the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, saying its powerful radar can probe deep into its territory, undermining its security.
The Blue Whale Challenge, reportedly created by a former convict in Russian Federation, is said to psychologically provoke players to indulge in daring, self-destructive tasks for 50 days before finally taking the "winning" step of killing themselves - and each task must be filmed and shared as "proof".
President Hassan Rouhani headed for Astana , Kazakhstan, on Saturday to attend the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Summit on Science and Technology to be held on September 10 and 11. The agreement was reached during a meeting between President Mamnoon Hussain and Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Bakytzhan Sagintayev who arrived at the President's residence for a one-on-one meeting.
This season, more than 100 designers will showcase their latest creations in venues across NY from Thursday, although some flagship brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Thom Browne, Proenza Schouler, and Altuzarra have opted to move their shows overseas.
The weapon's yield was sufficient to make up for any shortcomings in the accuracy of North Korea's missile guidance systems in the event it is used against a US city. Theresa May and U.S. president Donald Trump have urged China to use all its influence to ensure North Korea ends its "illegal acts" as the crisis over the rogue state's latest nuclear test continued to dominate worldwide affairs.
The Left alliance (SFI-AISA-DSF), AISF, the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the Congress' National Students Union of India (NSUI) and Birsa-Ambedkar-Phule Students' Association (BAPSA) are the prominent student groups in the fray.
Soon after the appointment as Defence Minister , the video featuring Nirmala Sitharaman along with her mother making mouth-watering avakai pickle ( mango pickle ) went viral. She said, " Soldiers and their families should remain absolutely assured that their interests are watched". "Although I am saying this at the end, certainly not least in importance is the Armed Forces' families and their welfare".
The faster growth of imports, coupled with a moderating rise in exports, narrowed China's surplus to $41.99 billion in August, from $46.74 billion in July. Raymond Yeung, chief economist for Greater China at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group, believes that China's third-quarter growth will see an "upside risk again" in light of the latest figures.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who during his presidential campaign vowed to review the deployment, halted the installation of the remaining four launchers in June pending an environmental review.

The ship, which has been ablaze for almost a week since it collided with another vessel on Saturday night in the East China Sea, was about 300 km northwest of Sokkozaki on the island of Amami Oshima as of Thursday afternoon, a spokesman from the Coast Guard's 10th region based in Kagoshima said.

The tanker Sanchi, owned by Iran's top oil shipping operator National Iranian Tanker Co, was carrying almost 1 million barrels of condensate, an ultra-light, highly flammable crude oil, to South Korea.
It collided with the freighter CF Crystal that was carrying grain from the United States about 160 nautical miles off China's coast near Shanghai.
The spokesman said that Chinese authorities turned down an offer from the Japanese Coast Guard to help, saying it would ask for help when needed.
He said it was not clear if the tanker would drift into Japan's territorial waters, which are about 280 km away.
The Coast Guard has sent patrol boats and aircraft to get the latest information about the tanker and is monitoring the situation, he said.
The Sanchi had a crew of 32 sailors at the time of the collision. The body of a mariner suspected to be from the ship was recovered on Monday and sent to Shanghai for identification. The rest of the crew, which included 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis, remains missing.

TOKYO, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Mizuho Financial Group reported on Wednesday that net profit fell 5.7 percent for the nine months ended in December, as weak banking revenue outweighed hefty gains from its stock portfolio and diminished provisions for bad loans.
Japan's third-largest lender by market valuation said net profit came in at 475.7 billion yen ($4.38 billion) for the April-December period, down from 504.7 billion yen a year earlier.
Mizuho and rival Japanese banks have been hit by persistently low interest rates amid the Bank of Japan's massive stimulus measures to encourage spending and investment by households and businesses.
For the full year through March, Mizuho kept its net profit forecast of 550 billion yen, down 8.8 percent from the previous year, but above an average estimate of 544.2 billion yen in a poll of 14 analysts by Thomson Reuters.

Duke's Grandeur
J.J. is charged with driving while drunk;
He did flame out, like bricking from jump shots;
He gathers to a sadness, like the reek of shots
Breathed. Why will teams now draft this punk?
Coach Krzyzewski will cry, will cry, will cry—
No, wait, that's Redick, bleared, smeared with booze;
He wears Zima's smudge and shares the smell; the ruse
Is up now—Duke is not great, it is a lie.
And for all this, J.J. is never spent;
His mug shot's up but he will cry in verse,
And like lacrosse, no, he will not repent.
At least he didn't throw it in reverse.
His eyes were "very glassy," and he went
And u-turned from the cops—what could be worse?

Calling Out For You(2005)
(The Indian Bride)
(The fifth book in the Inspector Sejer series)
A novel by Karin Fossum
Dagger Awards Best Novel (nominee)
Inspector Konrad Sejer returns on the trail of a violent killer in small-town Norway. Gunder Jomann, a quiet, middle-aged man from a peaceful Norwegian town, thinks that his life is made complete when he returns from a trip to India a married man. But on the day his Indian bride is due to join him, he is called to the hospital to his sister's bedside. The local taxi driver sent to meet the Indian bride at the airport comes back without her. Then the town is shocked by the news of an Indian woman found bludgeoned to death in a nearby meadow. Inspector Sejer and his colleague Skarre head the murder inquiry, cross-examining the townsfolk and planting seeds of suspicion in a community which has always believed itself to be simple, safe and trusting. For what can only have been an unpremeditated and motiveless act of violence, everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

Hi folks
Excuse this probably rather noob-ish question but I have been fiddling with OSX86 for years now and always left everything to the multitude of tools out there to get me up and running.
Since recently moving to Clover UEFI booting I have done about 60+ installs on my hardware ranging from Mavericks, Yosemite, El-Capitan and now Sierra and in all cases I was always up and running and had no problems except for CPU Power Management.
Only this morning I came across this post which goes step by step in detail about creating a unique serial number, board ID etc.
I have never done this on any of my installs, I just simply used Clover configurator, chose a system definition and never added any serial numbers as I had never even noticed the two buttons that say "shake"
So I went through that guide and when I rebooted it asked me to relogin to icloud which I did and it accepted it.
So what I want to know, is this even necessary due to the fact that everything Apple related has been working 100% without these serial numbers ie iCloud, iTunes, App Store, FindMyMac, iCloud KeyChain etc etc etc all been working just fine and dandy without all the serial numbers and board ID's.
Thanks in advance for any reply or clarification.

I come to you because I do not find a solution to my problem (which is not really).
I installed it about that a moment, mac osx el capitan, everything works well
but in recent days in the apple store I have an update notification for osx mavericks, I can not hide.
I attached a screenshot.
Would you have any idea where it might come?
Thank you in advance.
By Deagles
First i downloaded OS X 10.9 Install USB.raw file then i write this to the usb with Windows ImageWriter as they said.
My friend installed the mavericks seamlessly and quickly with MSİ Z77A G65 motherboard he changed nothing. any bios options. MSİ did pretty well this time.
But when i try to install. my Z87 GD65 motherboard this codes appeared in the below . when i press the install buton. then system restarting..
Does anyone have an idea how to deal with this thing ?
Problem is fixed. Download this Mach_kernel and copy it into the installation usb with Transmac. İf it's work then copy it into the Mavericks disk change the old one.
By asapreta
Its kinda weird.
I can log on iCloud and its features but can't log on iMessage.
I also can't log on Twitter using the system integrated account or the its App downloaded on the Appstore. The App says it can't verify OAuth bla, bla, bla but the password is correct as I can use it on Twitter's website.
I have my main ethernet connection as en0, the chamaleon option is set to Ethernet Builtin=yes, the system has the recovery partition, the nvram deamon is running, etc.
I'm open to try any suggestions!

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- n. A black and white two-winged fly (Ceratitis capitata) found in many warm regions of the world, the larvae of which destroy citrus and other fruit crops.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
After an initial consultation and analysis, Banducci determined the best way to get the deal done was to apply for a blended ratio loan program with a non-occupant co-borrower.
The clients were referred to Banducci by their friend.
Not all lenders do this, but by knowing the market and having worked with many lenders in the past, Banducci was able to get his clients a conventional loan and save their dream home from foreclosure.
Instead, Banducci, pregnant with her third child, blogs mostly for fun and friendship, treating it as a hobby like any other.
In addition, the National Park Service and Parks Conservancy are taking the lead in restoring the tidal lagoon at Muir Beach and improving the former Banducci farm site.
Banducci and O'Malley had to survive a 7-way playoff after shooting a 6-under 66 at Soule
Banducci, a 6-handicapper, birdied the par-4 16th hole for a net eagle that got them to 6-under and into the playoff in the tightly contested tournament.
"We really did kind of go nuts," said Banducci, holding up dozens of tiny Capri pants.
She and Banducci -- who has a 3-year-old granddaughter -- took a yarn-store road trip last spring in Oregon and sometimes hole up in Banducci's rural cabin for multi-day knitting fests.
Banducci said the other firms, although they had promising early-stage technology, were generally newer in business than EMC, and less well funded, meaning they were riskier choices.

Dear Suzanne,
After the hurricane I met one of my neighbors and he was pretty well off plus he took a liking to me. Whats even better is he as a very sexy son. I don't know if it's the "medicine" I've been taking or if it's my hormones but I can't stop fantasizing about him. The thought of his strong hands on my body makes me tingle and my pussy gets so wet. Just imagining his hardness in my mouth almost sends me over the edge. By the time I imagine his cock inside me I cum soo hard. I don't know if it's wrong or not but I really want his son even if it means marrying him. As long as I get his fortune I guess it doesn't matter if it's not him I want. Is it really that wrong?

Every Pupil a Leader
- Everyone is a leader
- Great leaders are made, not born
- To serve is to lead, to lead is to serve
JYPS Leadership Development Framework
Our school core values of Self-discipline, Humility, Integrity, eNdurance and Empathy form the foundation of our Leadership Development Framework. The 3 pillars under leadership pyramid are the structures put in place to support the development of pupil leadership in JYPS. Skills and knowledge are key in developing the pupils' competencies so that they are equipped with necessary life skills to lead self and others effectively.
The school strongly believes in providing leadership opportunities for every pupil and nurturing the leadership potential of every Student Leader. With abundant leadership opportunities, pupils intentionally apply the leadership skills and knowledge acquired from the leadership training provided by the Pupil Development Committee. The development of good character is also purposefully delivered and applied through the Experiences gained from the leadership opportunities provided by the school.
In JYPS, we believe in recognizing contributions by showing Appreciation for individual excellence and giving our pupils positive Affirmations to empower them to take chances and do their very best. Gestures of appreciation and positive affirmations help build up our pupils' confidence and enhance their strength and sense of well-being.
These 3 pillars underpin the leadership development in JYPS. Our leadership development's vision, "Every Pupil a Leader", aims at developing every pupil to their greatest potential to be a dedicated leader, believing that great leaders are made and nurtured. To reinforce our belief that leadership is for all, there are 2 main stages of leadership development that provides the opportunity for our pupils to contribute and serve at different age-appropriate levels during their 6 years of primary school.
The first stage of the leadership development is the Personal Leadership Stage in which the P1 – P3 pupils will be equipped with the essential leadership skills to learn self-management and self-motivation to impact their immediate environment.
The second stage of leadership development is the Servant Leadership Stage, for the P4 – P6 pupils. In this stage, students are developed to look at the needs of the school and that of their peers. They will be developed to reflect on the processes and brainstorm for ideas to solve problems and promote personal development.
At JYPS, pupils must be able to lead themselves first and internalize the 5 school values first before being able to lead others. Pupils are provided with opportunities to lead their peers in class during different lessons. Pupils hold the leadership roles to lead their peers at different stages. They are given roles such Group Leaders, Cyberkids, Library Assistant, Class Monitors, PE Monitors, Maths Aces, NE Ambassadors and others. These roles are present in all classes for all levels.
Leaders at the P4 – P6 level will also be given opportunities to develop their leadership potential further and extend their influence school-wide to realise the school's vision and mission. These leaders are appointed as Junior Prefects and Junior CCA Leaders (Sports and Games, Uniformed Groups, Aesthetics, Clubs and Societies). These servant leaders will assist in the running of school-wide events as well as serve the school on a larger scale. From this pool of servant leaders, Senior CCA Leaders, Assistant Head Prefects and Head Prefect are elected to form the executive committee of the student leaders. The committee provides inputs in the overall running of the school with regards to school improvement, general direction of the different leadership developmental stages as well as the pupil leadership mentoring programme.
Key Programmes
Class Leader Trainings
The Class Leader Trainings are conducted for P3 to P6 class leaders. The training is aimed at equipping our student leaders with leadership skills necessary to carry out their roles and responsibilities. Through scenarios-based discussions, pupils are better able to draw valuable lessons that would prepare them to take on their leadership roles.
Prefects Trainings
In line with our school's efforts to develop character and leadership skills in our pupils, a non-residential camp was organized for Primary 3 to Primary 5 prefects. The camp has equipped our prefects with leadership skills and competencies to better prepare them for their role as student leaders. The camp provided experiential learning opportunities for them to put the school's SHINE values into practice.
P4 Adventure Camp
Every year, our P4 pupils will experience a different camping environment at one of the MOE Adventure centres. In 2017, our P4 cohort had their camp at MOE Changi Coast Adventure Centre. They thoroughly enjoyed the high challenge rope courses, kayaking, low elements and other exciting activities organised for them. Most importantly, the pupils had the chance to be more independent, develop resilience and leadership skills, and work as a team during the duration of the camp.
