Joe DeRisi, Ph.D.
Dr. Joseph DeRisi is infusing biomedical research with an inventor's flair. He led the development of a new diagnostic tool called the Virochip that contains DNA from every known virus that can quickly scan blood or spinal fluid for evidence of infection. A self-described "biologist who is also a serious computer nerd," his lab at the University of California, San Francisco, is combining an innovative software tool with new genome sequencing technology to develop a prototype diagnostic test that could reveal any infectious disease with near certainty.
Dr. DeRisi employs an interdisciplinary approach to his work, combining genomics, bioinformatics, biochemistry and bioengineering to study parasitic and viral infectious diseases in a wide range of organisms. He was one of the early pioneers of DNA microarray technology and whole genome expression profiling and is nationally recognized for his efforts to make this technology accessible and freely available. Today, he uses this approach to study the activity of the full range of malaria genes and has generated provocative insights in many emerging viral diseases.
Dr. DeRisi is a professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco. In 2004, he was chosen for a MacArthur Fellowship. In addition to being a Searle Scholar and a Packard Fellow, Dr. DeRisi has received the Heinz Award in Technology, the Economy and Employment and was named an Eli Lilly and Company Research Award Laureate. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2015, and the National Academy of Sciences in 2016. He was also an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute from 2005-2016. He received a B.A. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1992, and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Stanford University in 1999.
Steve Quake, D.PHIL.
Dr. Stephen Quake's research is at the nexus of biology, physics and technology development. He has invented many measurement tools for biology, including new DNA sequencing technologies that have enabled rapid analysis of the human genome and microfluidic automation that allows scientists to efficiently isolate individual cells and decipher their genetic code. Dr. Quake is also well known for his work inventing new diagnostic tools, including the first non-invasive prenatal test for Down syndrome and other aneuploidies. His test is rapidly replacing risky invasive approaches such as amniocentesis, and millions of women each year now benefit from this approach. His innovations have helped to radically accelerate the pace of biology and have made medicine safer by replacing invasive biopsies with simple blood tests.
Dr. Quake is the Lee Otterson Professor of Bioengineering and Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University. He has received numerous awards for his discoveries and has been elected to several scientific honorary societies, including the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, The National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Inventors.

Nutrition is the main hot topic in the scientific community. Everyone wants to know on which foods can help or harm us, but sometimes even nutritionists and experts get it wrong. Below you can see a list of 7 common foods that are falsely accused for harming our health.
For decades, we've been told that salt is actually very bad for our health. It was associated with high blood pressure as well as kidney and heart problems, but recent studies have shown that the link doesn't exist. Even worse, cutting down on salt actually raises our blood pressure, so it's not so harmful as we've all thought.
More than 50 years ago, eggs were considered the main cause of high cholesterol levels and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. However, scientists are now realizing their mistake. The cholesterol in eggs is not harmful – they actually contain a variety of essential nutrients which our body needs to properly function.
Popcorn isn't junk food – it's actually very healthy if you omit the butter "dressing." Popcorn has been found to contain powerful antioxidants that can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. It also has almost no calories and is perfect for your digestion. Just make sure to skip the unhealthy toppings and eat them with only a bit of salt.
Whole milk
No, skim milk is not better than whole milk. Recent studies have shown that whole milk contains a variety of important nutrients that can improve our health and reduce the risk of cancer, while some experts claim it can also reduce the risk of diabetes and help us slim down.
Caffeine was accused of various problems in the past, including cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure and nervous system damage. However, studies in the past decade have shown that coffee actually reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and cirrhosis, so feel free to enjoy it. Just don't go overboard – a few cups per day is fine.
White rice
People have been switching from white to brown rice in recent times thinking the white version's less healthy. However, the reality is different. White rice absorbs toxins in the body and is easier to digest, doesn't contain gluten, contains less arsenic than brown rice and prevents a variety of digestive problems.
Ah, pizza – everyone's favorite food. Although store-bought pizza can be pretty harmful for your health if eaten frequently, preparing your own pizza at home with hand-picked ingredients won't put your health in danger. Use whole-wheat flour for the crust and add some protein and vegetables and you've got yourself a great healthy version of pizza.
Bonus – chocolate
Scientists have been debating on the topic of chocolate and our health for decades. Although too much chocolate is definitely not good, consuming dark chocolate (70%) cocoa every day can actually improve your overall health. Dark chocolate has been found to improve the flexibility of our arteries and prevent a variety of cardiovascular problems, in that way reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Due to the high level of antioxidants, it's also great for our brain, and some studies have even suggested that dark chocolate can prevent diabetes.

text: Josper Masterclass, Calella, Spain – Part One January 22, 2019January 22, 2019 Sophie Thorpe Cooking over fire is fairly primitive, right? We all love to have a go. Maybe it's a barbecue in the back garden on that first hot Sunday afternoon of the year? Or perhaps it's a will-it-ever-catch-light campfire on the shore of a lake while waiting for the fish to bite. Whatever the scenario, there is certainly something undeniably primeval about the whole process. It gives us the opportunity to channel the Neanderthal within. It transports us back to much simpler times when life was all about surviving from one day to the next, and the quest to score some food was paramount in this daily struggle. Nowadays our hunter-gatherer instinct may have become a little dulled courtesy of Deliveroo & their ilk, yet all it takes to rekindle that caveman mentality is a sunny evening, a quick trip to the butchers & greengrocers on the way home & a bag of B&Q charcoal briquettes! But what does cremating sausages whilst stripped to the waist with a cold tinny in hand have to do with Ambiente? Well, on the face of it, not a lot. At Ambiente we see ourselves as traditionalists. As a matter of principle we have always eschewed cooking with microwaves & sous vide. We view the former as being uninspiring & lazy with a tendency to destroy flavour, texture & quality. And the latter is simply unnecessary. Area Chef cooking with Flames in Fossgate, York Pans & flames have always been our culinary weapons of choice – the rate we go through six-burners is testament to this preference – and it is a style of cooking that happens to be perfectly suited to tapas. Heat up your pan, add a dash of oil, introduce the "protein", season while searing one side, turn, season & sear the other side, plate up ……. & repeat the process until the end of service. It's a simple procedure but needs practice, skill & concentration to achieve consistency – especially when there might be six different pans with six different dishes at any one time. To work the pan section in any of our kitchens on a busy service is the culinary equivalent of air traffic control – only without so many strikes! But in 2016 we decided that we wanted to unleash our more primitive urges & start playing with fire. At the time there was a massive proliferation of BBQ joints that had sprung up all over the country. Everywhere you looked there were interpretations of the dirty burgers, pulled pork po'boys & sweet-hickory-smoked sauces inspired by imported US TV shows. If it wasn't "low & slow" with an obligatory mac & cheese on the side it just wasn't happening. Whilst we didn't fancy jumping on that particular bandwagon, we could see that flashing something over coals wasn't too far removed from our existing style of cooking in pans, & if anything would compliment it. Josper Fire-breathing Charcoal Oven in Ambiente Hull Our decision to install a Josper oven into the kitchen of our Leeds restaurant, therefore, was an attempt to push our "pans & flames" ethos to the next level. We liked what it offered which in turn, made it an easy decision to put another in our Hull kitchen when we opened there in 2016. For some context, the first Josper oven was made in Pineda de Mer (just north of Barcelona) in 1969. It was the result of a conversation between a chef & the local village blacksmith. The chef wanted a piece of equipment that didn't yet exist and asked the blacksmith if he'd design & build it. This first iteration – unpainted, primitive, even crude in some respects, is still unmistakably a Josper. It is testament to the understanding that these two men had when conceiving the project that their basic design remains unchanged to this day. Whilst Josper may not be a household name in the most literal sense, it is certainly a revered brand in any progressive commercial kitchen. It is an aspirational bit of kit for many chefs & would surely be far more ubiquitous if it weren't for its cost & the company's limited production capacity. The fact that they are all handmade, with no electronics, & no gas or power connections required is also pleasing. If Fred & Barney had spent a few weekends in their cave-man-cave you feel they could have come up with something similar – once they'd invented the welder that is! Original Josper Oven Prototype This year marks the company's 50th anniversary – fifty years which have seen their low-tech product become the mainstay in some of the world's most celebrated & hi-tech kitchens. The prototype Josper referred to above, is one of the first things we saw when we walked into the reception of Josper's Head office on a crisp Mediterranean morning in January 2019. We had come to Spain to see how they use these iconic cooking machines in their homeland. Six of us were about to undergo a couple of days of intensive prepping, cooking, tasting & learning – with everything being done in one of these versatile ovens. Apart from the company logo, the side of Josper's building has the words "passion for grilling" emblazoned across it. This isn't entirely accurate. When it comes to dedication, the guys we met at Josper are clearly underselling themselves. They are way beyond passion. They are deep into devotion territory! Every aspect of the design & operation of their ovens is subjected to intense ongoing scrutiny. As their international market expands they consider the cultures, traditions & culinary techniques of each new territory in order to make any necessary refinements to the offer. Josper HQ And it's not just about meat. Amongst our party was a vegetarian who has avoided meat since 1984 – that's the year rather than the book! In fact it would be more accurate to say that she is a wannabe vegan who is only defeated in this ambition by the inversely proportional relationship between sobriety & the consumption of good cheese! She thought she was only along for the ride. To rile us as she rubbernecked the meaty carnage across the table, & to sit in disgusted judgement like Morrisey might in Nando's. Yet, just like the rest of the group she was blown away by the transformation that some charcoal based heat can bestow on any number of vegetables. Lettuce, tomato, aubergine, garlic, leeks, peppers, asparagus and artichokes were all elevated before us from bit-part players to the starring role. Don't get me wrong – the meat was extraordinarily good, but the potatoes were the stuff of culinary dreams. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. The dishes we were fortunate enough to taste will be the subject of the next instalment, coming soon….

Hurricane KATRINA MEMORIAL
Under Louisiana law, the Coroner of a parish is responsible for the interment of unclaimed and unidentified decedents. Dr. Frank Minyard, Coroner of Orleans Parish, has been responsible for all Hurricane Katrina-related decedents.
The New Orleans Katrina Memorial Corporation was organized in late 2006 by Dr. Minyard for the charitable, non-profit establishment of a memorial in New Orleans, Louisiana to honor the victims of Hurricane Katrina with mausoleums to house the unidentified and identified but unclaimed victims of Hurricane Katrina. To this end, tax-deductible donations toward the construction costs of the memorial and for the perpetual care of this memorial were solicited. This Corporation was comprised of outstanding members of our community who worked hard to bring this concept to reality.
Matthews International, a world leader in memorial and mausoleum construction who was CompTIA certified and SY0-501 dumps exert, was selected to design and build the New Orleans Katrina Memorial. The memorial incorporates both the curves of the Hurricane and the meditative quality of a labyrinth, an initial CompTIA idea conceived by Dr. Jeffrey Rouse. The concept was then presented to Dave DeCarlo, Vice Chairman of Matthews International Corporation, and a design team under the direction of Chris Kroll developed the rendering.
On August 29, 2008 the unidentified and unclaimed victims of Hurricane Katrina were interred in the mausoleums at the Memorial, which was followed by a dedication ceremony that was hosted by Dr. Frank Minyard and Mayor C. Ray Nagin.

"Live Life In Style, Consciously"
My fashion journey started after graduating from Spelman College with a degree in economics (which later came in handy when starting business) then switching careers completely to jump into the industry as wardrobe stylist! I started on set working with celebrity clientele and later transitioned into the digital side of fashion. That is when www.dyandraraye.com was born, a digital platform where I share my personal view fashion, lifestyle and travel.
While blogging and digital influencing I began my Masters in Global Fashion Enterprise program to learn more about the business of fashion. While learning to sew, visiting factories overseas and constructing business plans, I began working with brands who had a mission to not only provide fashion and beauty to the world, but in a healthy way!
Everything came full circle and present day I am not only creating content for sustainable brands, I'm currently in the prototyping stages of a vegan shoe line called Jo-Anne Vernay. I began sketching when I was a child and making businesses plans on cardboards, 32 years later I was afforded the opportunity to turn my shoe dreams into a reality. A proud multi hyphenate I'm embracing the titles of sustainable stylist, creative director and now shoe designer – because living life in style consciously means embracing all that you are in every stylish way!

Public Health & Policy
Obesity has turned into a global epidemic. In England, it is predicted that by 2010 over 13 million people will be obese, if the present state of affairs is allowed to continue. In the United States, obesity has become a major health problem. In the developed countries, the USA has the largest number of obese citizens.
Since the 1980s the number of obese people has grown by leaps and bounds. There are several factors responsible for this. Besides genetic reasons, sedentary life style, consumption of junk food, no physical exercise and manual labor are major reasons for the rising figure. In the years that have passed since 1980, the number of obese people in America has doubled among adults and tripled among children and teenagers. This trend continues today.
Increasing calorie consumption and decreasing physical activities are generally held responsible for this malaise. With rising obesity statistics rising on a daily basis, health problems also rise day-to-day. Obesity is associated with several fatal diseases like cardiovascular problems, diabetes, hypertension, hormonal disorders, breathing problems and other ailments that are plaguing many Americans today.
What is required is a certain level of health consciousness among people and the knowledge of the risks that go along with obesity. A genuine people's movement is necessary to restore the lost health of Americans. A public policy for health with close links to obesity is needed right now to combat this soaring epidemic.

Does Cupping Therapy Hurt?Cupping therapy is simple and safe but at the same time quite effecient treatment
modality. Cupping therapy has been practiced for a few thousand years.
Probably, the simplicity of cupping technique and application has been a main contributor for the cupping underestimate and underuse in modern medicine.
During the early 20th century sophisticated medical apparatus and medications were invented and introduced to the mainstream medicinal use. Cupping was set aside.
The earliest written evidence of cupping was by the doctors of ancient Egypt and China. Cupping practice, however, was not limited to those cultures. All over the ancient world, many civilizations adopted cupping as part of their medicine and, later, integrated cupping practice as part of their mainstream medicine.

Kenyatta University, which hosted the Athletes Village for the IAAF World Under-18 Championships, on Wednesday received equipment worth over Sh100 million, including a modern synthetic running track.
The championships' Local Organising Committee (LOC) presented to the university a fully equipped and Olympic standard hammer cage, pole vaults with accessories, hurdles, javelins, shot puts, discus implements and high jump landing mats.
The LOC's chief executive officer Mwangi Muthee said the Mondo synthetic track, that delayed in being dispatched on campus, is already in the country and will be laid immediately.
At hand to receive the equipment from Muthee and Sports Principal Secretary Peter Kaberia was Kenyatta University's acting vice chancellor Paul Wainaina.
The equipment was supposed to be installed at the Kenyatta University and to be used for training by the world championships athletes but the process of delivering them was postponed due to delayed shipping.
The LOC officials also handed over the six hostels that were transformed to the Athletes Village back to the university's management.
"There is no reason why the university can't now become a high performance centre," said Muthee, who challenged the university to start training athletes in technical and specialized field and track events.
"The championships is a beautiful story which will be told for many years to come. The success at the Kenyatta University is a benchmark for many beautiful things that will be done in this country," said Muthee.
The village on campus hosted over 2,000 athletes from 131 countries for the July 12-16 championships that were held at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
Kaberia said that the university has set a benchmark for many things to come.
"This is not the end but the beginning of great things. I cannot imagine the loss to this country if actually we had gone the previous route of having this event hosted within hotels rather than university hostels," said Kaberia.
The PS added that there will be need to find ways of utilizing the facilities at Kenyatta University and linking the institution in to other specialities such as arts and culture.
"As a ministry, we will work closely with the university in more than just the sports field," said Kaberia, who assured the country that Kenya will be ready to host the African Nations Championships (Chan) in January.
"We have shifted the focus to Chan and for sure we shall have four stadiums targeted for the event ready by December for a dry run," said Kaberia.
Wainaina thanked the government for giving his university the opportunity to host teams adding that they will have to explore ways on how they will use the facilities.
"We have received the tartan track and I can't wait to jog on it and feel it," said Wainaina adding that the World Under-18 will leave a lasting legacy.
"We shall be ready to host other events and even teams coming for Chan."

What is Feng Shui
Feng shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that teaches us how to balance the energies in any given space—be it a home, office, or garden–in order to assure good fortune for the people inhabiting it. A system of laws considered to govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy (qi), and whose favorable or unfavorable effects.
Cynthia Bradley, La Jolla Cal.
I was first skeptical about Feng Shui. Not knowing much about it I could not see how it would work. After my friend had her house done and received amazing results, I thought it would not hurt to try it. I was impressed by Darlene's expertise we made changes and the most amazing things started happening. I would highly recommend Darlene to anyone.
Alex Grant, Palm Beach FL
I have been using Feng Shui in my home and office from what I read online and in books. I noticed changes and wanted to learn more. A business associate of mine told me she used a Master Darlene to do her home and had amazing results. I then contacted Darlene and made an appointment. We talked and I told her some difficulties I had and told her changes I made following Feng Shui. She then came and gave a accurate reading based on my date of birth. I noticed a great shift after Darlene's consultation, it really made a difference for the positive. I would suggest anyone wanting to apply Feng Shui to use Darlene. If will avoid making mistakes like I did and give you unimaginable results.
Beverly Wales, Beverly Hills Cal.
I heard about Darlene and her success with her clients. I had went through a divorce and was single for 7 years. I have dated but I could never find the right person and nothing would last. I was kind of embaressed to tell her I needed her to help me with my love life but I did. I called made an appointment filled out the questionnaire. Darlene came she was very nice and we bonded. She compassed my home and gave me some suggestions. A week later I got report we made changes immediately. Fast forward I fell in love and a year later Im married to my soul mate. Thanks Darlene you changed my life.

Lawrence most recently spent a decade as president of Sarah Lawrence, a small yet highly regarded liberal arts college in Yonkers, New York.
Before her tenure at Sarah Lawrence, Lawrence was dean of humanities and a professor of English and comparative literature at UC Irvine.

Lawrence succeeds Laura Skandera Trombley, who stepped down after spending less than two years as president in March 2017.

Over the past few weeks users in Qatar have been complaining about problems accessing VOIP and other services.
VOIP is an abbreviation for Voice Over Internet Protocol and is essentially any system that allows voice communication over the internet.
For the average user, this means apps such as Skype, Whatsapp and Facetime but also includes more encrypted and secure apps like Telegram.
Currently there are no known reasons why all of a sudden accessing the voice features of these apps has become problematic although many theories exist.
The good news is however, there is a really simple way you can access all those apps voice services and more using an app called a VPN and in this guide we're going to show you how.
How to access VOIP and other blocked services in Qatar
If you're having trouble accessing voice features and other services and you're in Qatar, you're not alone.
The reasons the blocks have come into effect are unclear but one thing that is guaranteed is that there is some kind of government interference causing this issue.
The good news is there is a really simple way to unblock VOIP and other services that you're having trouble accessing and all you need is a little app called a VPN.
What is a VPN
A VPN is an app or piece of software that encrypts all of your online communications.
What this means is it's impossible for anyone to be able to determine what you're doing online, such as what websites you're visiting, who you're talking to or what services you're using.
In a nutshell this is what enables you to access VOIP services because your telephone company or ISP don't know what services you're using so it's impossible for them to block you.
Where to get a VPN service
VPN services are popular all over the world. Their intended purpose is to protect your online privacy and with online privacy being a big concern these days it means there is a vast choice of VPN services.
Censorship is also becoming a big issue across the world and as a VPN allows you to avoid censorship it's another reason why the range of VPN services has boomed.
Quickly searching your favourite search engine will throw up an array of choices but the problem is that not all VPN services are created equal and not all are suitable for use in Qatar.
We've been taking a look at some of the best options for use in Qatar that will allow you to access VOIP and other blocked services. The following three are our top choices.
We recommend IPVanish because in our recent review they scored our highest ever review score due to their speeds, ease of use and value for money.
The other two providers also make good options too though. All you need to do is click on one of their names to visit their website and sign-up.
Once you've signed up continue reading below where we'll show you how you can use the VPN to access VOIP in Qatar.
How to use the VPN Services
Now you've signed up to a VPN service you need to download their app or software.
All three providers mentioned above have apps for both Android and Apple phones and tablets and also software for traditional desktops and laptops running Windows or MacOS.
Download and install the correct app or software for your device. With most services you can install the app or software on multiple devices and even use it at the same time, usually on up to 5 devices is standard.
Once you've installed it you need to select a country outside of Qatar where VOIP is also not banned, so for example, don't choose the UAE.
A good example is using IPVanish and connecting to Cyprus. Cyprus is part of the EU and so has many online freedoms, VOIP working is one of them.
Once you've pressed connect which should only take 15 seconds any websites or apps you use will think you're in Cyprus.
You're now free to use any of the VOIP services like Whatsapp, Skype, Facetime and more without restriction.
You can disconnect and reconnect as many times as you want but you'll need to be connected each time you want to use VOIP. It's worth staying connected because it'll ensure your privacy at all times.
Are VPN services legal?
Yes, VPN services are completely legal in most countries.
They're also legal to use in Qatar as long as you don't use it to break the law, accessing VOIP is not breaking the law so the simple answer is, yes, VPN services are completely legal to use in Qatar.
So if you want to access VOIP in Qatar, grab yourself a VPN using the link below and connect to a country outside Qatar.

How to Save Money in College: 6 Simple Tips
College can be known to take a toll on students financially. But going to college doesn't have to lead to an empty bank account! There are steps you can take to help you save while you're there. Read on to find out how you can save money in college.
1. Entertain on a Budget
Expenses for shopping, going out to dinner, or going to the movies, can quickly add up. It's important to learn how to entertain on a budget. You can still have fun without spending money. Most colleges offer fun activities to keep you busy that are free for students to enjoy. Also consider using your meal plan more and eating on campus instead of going out all the time.
2. Cut Off Unnecessary Expenses
When you're in college, start to pay attention to what you're spending your money on and cut off any unnecessary expenses. Ask yourself if you really need that new outfit or that meal out, and instead make that money last throughout the semester.
3. Buy Used Textbooks
Another way to save is to start buying used textbooks instead of new. There's no need to buy a brand new textbook for every one of your classes, and you can save hundreds of dollars just by purchasing one that's been used before.
4. Apply for Scholarships
There is a lot of money that is available for students — all you have to do is take the time to search for it. One thing you can do is apply for scholarships. Take some time to search for scholarships that are right for you, and apply! In addition to scholarships, take advantage of student discounts to save a little extra money here and there.
5. Use Credit Wisely
How you handle your credit in college can affect you well after you graduate. It's important to understand the responsibilities and benefits of credit, and to choose a credit card that is best for you. When you get a credit card, choose one with the lowest interest rate possible and with only enough of a credit limit that will get you by in an emergency. Also be sure to pay your credit card bills on time to avoid late fees. Visit https://www.tnstatebank.com/borrow/credit-cards to check out Tennessee State Bank's credit card options.
6. Set Aside a Savings
You never know what emergencies might come up that you need to be financially prepared for. Things happen, like your car breaking down or your computer having problems. No matter how small the amount, you should set aside a certain amount of money each month. Having a savings set aside will give you a cushion in case unexpected situations arise.

Most of iOS apps would be useless if there was no network connected. And usually, if you want to play online games, watch streaming videos or download large-size files, the WiFi network could be your first choice. So what if your iPhone could not connect to Wi-Fi network because of an pop up error "Unable to join the network".
@AppleSupport just updated to IOS 10.02 and am getting "Unable to join the network" message when trying to connect to my wifi on iPhone 7.
— KJ (@KingdomJock) September 24, 2016
"Unable to join the network" issue seems like one of common iOS problems people may accidentally meet on iPhone iPad when connecting to Wi-Fi. And many possible reasons may stop your iPhone or iPad from joining the WiFi network. For example, wrong Wi-Fi network setting and outdated software for router.
In this post we collected some potential solutions that we think would be helpful for fixing "Unable to Connect to Network" problem in iOS. [Applies to iOS 9/10/11]
How to Fix Unable to Connect to Wifi Network on iPhone iPad
Firstly, make sure you turn on the WiFi section under Settings > WLAN, join the right WiFi network, and put into the correct passwords, although these seem kind of obvious things you've already attach importance to.
After checking all things done well, you can now try the below tips to fix your issue.
1. Check Router Network Connection Status.
You can use another device to check whether your router works normally to connect the Internet network. Connect another device to WiFi network and use browser app to visit any webpage to see whether your router goes well to connect the Internet.
2. Restart Router and Restart iPhone iPad

Let us chart the last three years of Justin Scott, shall we? His asked for his release from his Def Jam contract, becoming a free agent. He released a lauded follow-up to Live From The Underground in Cadillactica. He found love, one of the broad discussion points that influenced his earlier work. And he kept releasing music. Sometimes it was in large batches such as the 12 For 12 series. Other spaces, he dragged his country boy drawl into guest verses to prove some things people chose to forget. Big K.R.I.T. wasn't lost, nor was he a wayward soul in music. He wanted to create his music within his own vision, not muddled by label politics or suggestions. It took three years before K.R.I.T. released anything like a large body of work and the fruit of that laboring is 4Eva Is A Mighty Long Time. A double-album. K.R.I.T. wouldn't just lean on his own ear to craft his latest album. Instead, he would pull from influences all over, OutKast, UGK and even Mannie Fresh. Bun B appears on "Ride Wit Me" as well as the ghost of Pimp C for the chorus. Cee-Lo Green drops a verse (!) for "Get Up 2 Come Down" with his fellow Dungeon Family brother Sleepy Brown. Robert Glasper pops up, same for Jill Scott and Joi. It's a southern rap album from top to bottom. Only as K.R.I.T. would want it to be. Led by the singles "Confetti," "Keep The Devil Off" and "Aux Cord," it's Krizzle in his element. Available now on all streaming platforms, take in the 22-track album from Big K.R.I.T. below.

You Are Considerate
You are a truly loving person, and you do your best to love as many people as you can.
Some may call you a social butterfly, but it goes much deeper than that for you.
You tend to be a big influence on other people, but you don't try to be.
You just open your heart, and as a result, people are very receptive to what you have to say.
This is one of the results from the quiz, The Poppy Test
Here are all the results from this quiz:

cool. But my remedy includes silence, so why doesnt it work?
cool. But my remedy includes silence, so why doesnt it work?
F.ex. if you upgrade Vaan's license, so that Remedies cure Silence, and in battle you use Fran to use the Remedy, and she does not have that specific Remedy license herself, it doesn't work.
hmmm that could have been what I was doing, not sure...
Has anyone finished FFXII by now?
I completed the game a few weeks ago. While I thought the game was fine overall, I couldn't help but feel like it could've been so much more. The game started with a big bang - thrilling intro sequence, a fine premise for an epic storyline to follow, an interesting setting, decent voice acting. By the time I was halfway through the game, however, character development pretty much stalled, the story became a little convoluted, all sense of urgency was lost, and the end pretty much came as a surprise as well - it was abrupt and a bit anti-climactic, to be honest. It was almost as if the development team had suddenly lost inspiration, or perhaps they were running out of time or money.
I'm slowly, very slowly, replaying the game right now, hoping to pick out details I missed, but I'll probably have to wait a few years again to see if the next installment is able to surpass FFVII for me. I actually fired up FFVII yesterday, just for fun, and I still found it as fun and charming as it was back then. Proof that superior graphics and sound aren't everything.
That is a very true fact. Graphics and Sound count for nothing. It is the narrative, design and gameplay that will always make the difference in the greatest games.
As for FFXII, I've not completed it yet and intend to very soon.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
Im nowhere near finishing it. But I'm like that
I finished it 2 months ago, if you go back a bit in the topic you can also see my opinion of the game.Has anyone finished FFXII by now?
And as you say, graphics and sound aren't everything, but explain that to the younger generation. I also like to see games like Lost Planet or Gears of War, but finally prefer to play Jumpman Jr on my C64.
That's why I call myself a Retro Gamer, and I'm proud of it. I'm sure you'll find another one like me on this board
