A common worry parents have around Thanksgiving? Their children won't eat well.
They might not even eat at all. The solution? Imagine Thanksgiving from the perspective of a child. You don't whose going to be there, the food or the schedule. In short, you don't know what's going on. And, on top of all that, you're expected to just go along, and get along. As long as your kids aren't infants, it doesn't matter how old they are.
Filling them in on the plans for the day can solve a lot.
Eating expert and Sociologist Dr. Dina Rose, author of"It's Not About the Broccoli: Three Habits to Teach Your Kids for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating" offers these tips to help your children and you conquer Thanksgiving and Holiday Eating and create a lifetime of healthy eating habits without focusing solely on nutrition:
1. DO tell children what will be on the menu — and when. Don't assume they know. Then, brainstorm together how they'll find something to eat, if they're picky, or how they'll manage all the sweets and treats.
2. DO let your children eat a meal before leaving home (or in the car on the way to the main event) if they'll be too tired or too distracted to eat at the meal, or if they're worried they won't be able to eat anything at all..
3. DO help your children figure out what they really want to eat by doing some taste testing, but only if they're up for it. Assuming some of the food is unfamiliar, fill a plate with one pea-sized bite of everything on offer.
4. DO tell your children that after the taste test they can help themselves to anything they want. Resist the urge to "push" the healthy stuff.
5. DO resist the urge to tell your kids to eat-up. Remind them to pay attention to their tummies.
6. DO help your children save room for treats coming down the pike.
7. DO keep some familiar s in the car for the ride home if your child is unlikely to eat at the meal.
8. DO teach your kids to bookend Thanksgiving with a couple of no-treat days before and after their holiday feast. Even if Thanksgiving is outrageous, this strategy will even things out. Then, let them figure out their own holiday favorite treats.
Good News:
1. Many children pick at their food. Nibbling, rather than gorging, is a healthy holiday habit.
2. Many children would rather play than schmooze by the appetizer table.
3. The mindless eating that parents do is easily avoided for kids who would rather run around than sit around.
4. Happy holiday memories are more important than healthy holiday eating.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Review of the Hubsan x4 H107C quadcopter with 2MP camera
This is a short video review of the Hubsan x4 H107C quadcopter. I uploaded this video at the request of several people after they saw some of my aerial video uploads. I'm far from a professional aerial photographer or quadcopter pilot, but I do have quite a bit of fun with these little quads. These have spurred enough interest that I have decided to move up the quadcopter "ladder" and purchase a DJI Phantom.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Here goes for another story about a self cleaning fire on a 15CA. It was 15/12/1989 and I was booked on duty at 03h00 to work a train to Pretoria to transfer a loco to Rustenburg. The loco today was 15CA #2823 and as usual Speedy-man Piet was with me as my driver. Piet had already had a argument with the shed man and was now not in the best of moods so I knew I better be on my best behaviour and do everything to the book.
After loading Piet's polished kit and filling his oil cans etc I started cleaning the cab. It was filthy from top to bottom. The firebox was full and steam pressure was well down. I could see us leaving shed late as the engine needed so much just to get her ready for the road. This would not go down well with my driver. I was rushing about like mad trying to get all in order and still not ready in time. Last but not least I filled the tender and just decided to leave the fire as it was and risk it.
2823 was a new loco to me so I was not sure how she would perform. Most 15CAs were great steamers and would make steam with almost any fire in the box. Some CA's liked it packed under the brick arch while others liked it in the back corners but most of the time it did not really matter. I gave her a light round of coal and left the blower on lightly before leaving shed. We were signalled over to the east end yard and given a load of 12 DZ bogies as our train. While standing in the yard I noticed 2823 was struggling to make steam so I decided to give the fire a rake through and noticed it was full of clinker - I began to worry.
We soon got the green light and Piet opens the regulator and eases the train out of the yard. With the firebox packed and water high up in the glass we cross onto the Pretoria mainline. As soon as we are on the main Piet notches her back to about 45% cut-off and opens the regulator wide. Within a kilometre the steam is dropping and I am in trouble. "What's the problem Soutie?" asks Piet as he has a look in the firebox. "What the hell have you done with that fire? Didn't you clean it before leaving shed?"
"No" I replied, "not enough time for that." All kinds of words came out of Piet's mouth and not good words at that. He shuts the regulator and orders me to open the blower and pack the box. With all that done we drift along at slow speed letting the newly spread coal burn through. The steam pressure slowly creeps back towards the red mark and with about half a glass of water and a very hot thick fire Piet opens the regulator slightly. As we approach Knights station Piet asks, "Are you ready?"
"Yes" I replied, and he opens the regulator full and leaves the cut-off in full forward gear. 2823 leaps forward barking like mad making more noise that anyone can ever imagine. At 04h30 in the morning in a built up area many people must have thought that someone had dropped an atom bomb. The noise was unbelievable. Sparks were shooting like bullets from the chimney. To anyone around it must have looked like a firework display.
In the cab the steam pressure was sitting at max but the water was going down at an alarming rate so I put on the injector even though I was more interested in watching the display outside. About two kilometres up the line we are doing about 60kph, and believe me not many steam locos in the world can beat the noise that 2823 was making. It was enough to awaken the dead. Piet finally eases the regulator and pulls the cut-off up to about 45 percent. I inspect the firebox only to find a few bits of clinker sitting on the grate. I immediately start getting fresh coal into the box at a very fast rate of knots (100SPS is it Trainman) and by the time we reach Elandsfontein all is going great.
After that 2823 flew along the main at a mighty speed. Going through Olifantsfontein we must have been hitting 90kph but that was still not fast enough for Piet and going down Fountains bank with regulator open we must have touched 110kph. Wow, if only we could see that again.

Cohesity Software Architecture
Building a Modern, Web-Scale Architecture for Consolidating Secondary Storage
The "Band-Aid Effect": The Hidden Cost of Trying to Make Legacy Solutions Work
The combination of explosive data growth and traditional siloed architectures has presented a major challenge to many companies. Over the years, these organizations have tried to address new business requirements by adding, swapping, and integrating new solutions into legacy architectures. While this approach has succeeded in providing temporary relief, it has also created a "band-aid effect," in which each stopgap solution makes it harder for organizations to adapt to future data demands. It continues to create multiple copies of data, which further accelerates data growth. Consider three common examples of modern business initiatives that have resulted in massive data sprawl across the enterprise: business continuity, general purpose workloads, and data analytics.
- Business Continuity: Business continuity and disaster recovery strategies are absolutely critical to ensure data is always available, even in the event of a disaster or total loss at the primary site where applications reside. Oftentimes, organizations have invested in an entire replica of their production stack devoted to maintaining business continuity that sits idle until disaster strikes. This requires major capital investment in redundant solutions, ranging from target storage to backup and management software, along with the management complexity and overhead associated with maintaining the disaster recovery site. Significant investments made in disaster recovery and business continuity solutions often are seen as an expensive insurance policy, constantly adding additional costs but rarely providing value outside of the occasional restore operation.
- General Purpose Workloads: In addition to designing, managing, and supporting production and business continuity solutions, system administrators must also address their developers' requirements. To help facilitate agile software release cycles, developers often request a replica of the production environment to stand up sandbox environments, test new releases, and iterate on them until they are ready to be delivered out to production. While organizations with large IT budgets can swallow the enormous upfront costs of a high-performance production storage solution that is architected to handle these additional development workloads, those with smaller budgets are forced to invest in a cheaper alternative, resulting in another silo of infrastructure along with its own copy of the production data.
- Analytics: As IT organizations manage the difficult transition from a cost-center to a business partner, investing in a strong data analytics strategy becomes even more imperative for CIOs. Providing the ability to derive real-time insight from raw data that enables business owners to make better-informed decisions requires hefty investments. Companies can achieve this either through the initial investment in a high-performance storage solution that is capable of handling analytics workloads in addition to running production applications or through a dedicated data lake infrastructure.
It comes as no surprise that with each new solution that is added to address a new business initiative, the costs and complexity associated with managing data continue to expand. Along with the growing costs of protecting, storing, and managing these independent solution silos, it becomes more and more difficult to provide visibility into the data sprawl.
It Doesn't Have to Be This Way: Bring Order to the Data Chaos with Cohesity
Cohesity was founded with the core vision to eliminate the fragmentation in data storage and put an end to the decades-long "Band-Aid effect" that has plagued data storage solutions. Architected and designed from the ground up to be the world's most efficient, flexible solution for enterprise data, the Cohesity Data Platform couples commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware with intelligent, extensible software, enabling organizations to spend less time worrying about how to retrofit their legacy solutions with future needs, and more time focusing on the core functions of the enterprise.
Introducing the C2000 Series Data Platform
Cohesity provides a starting point for infinite scale with either the C2300 or the C2500. The former providing 48 TB of raw hard disk capacity and 3.2 TB of flash storage in a dense 2 Rack Unit container. While the latter packs 96 TB of raw hard disk capacity and 6.4 TB of flash storage in the same 2 Rack Units. Each appliance is called a Block, which can support up to four Cohesity Nodes.
These Nodes can be joined together to form a cluster. Clusters can expand from a minimum of 3 Nodes to as many Nodes as necessary regardless of the series. Customers can add additional Nodes one at a time to linearly scale their capacity and performance as needed, eliminating the guessing game required with traditional scale-up solutions.
Each C2300 or C2500 node contains two 8-core Intel v3 processors and 64GB of RAM, in addition to 12 TB or 24 TB (C2300 or C2500) of raw hard disk capacity (three 4 TB or 8 TB SAS drives) and 800 GB or 1.6 TB PCIe SSD C2300 or C2500). Each Node also has its own discrete set of networking hardware, which is comprised of two 10Gb SFP+ interfaces, two 1Gb Ethernet interfaces, and an out-of-band management interface for remote configuration.
Cohesity Open Architecture for Scalable Intelligent Storage (OASIS)
The Cohesity Data Platform is built on the Open Architecture for Scalable Intelligent Storage (OASIS), the only file system that combines infinite scalability with an open architecture flexibility that can consolidate multiple business workloads on a single platform. With built-in, native applications to support data protection, copy data management, test and development, and in-place analytics, customers experience the benefits of consolidation right out of the box.
OASIS was built from the ground up to be the most robust and fully distributed system in the market. Distributed systems are inconsistent by nature: operations that are performed on a distributed system are not atomic, meaning operations could complete on some but not all nodes, resulting in data corruption. The notion of 'Eventual Consistency' was created to address this by stating that data written to a distributed system will eventually be the same across all of the participating nodes, but not necessarily the moment the data is written. While this tends to be fine when immediate access to that piece of data is not required, in the case of enterprise file systems, where a user can very easily write a new piece of data and then request it right back in the subsequent operation, all pieces of data need to be consistent across all participating nodes. Unlike traditional distributed file systems that are 'Eventually Consistent,' OASIS leverages a purpose-built noSQL store, combined with Paxos protocols, that delivers full consistency with the ability to make decisions rapidly, at massive scale, and without performance penalties.
Cohesity's patented operating environment, OASIS (Open Architecture for Scalable, Intelligent Storage), combines a scale-out storage architecture with built-in enterprise storage services and quality of service management to consolidate multiple use cases, such as data protection, test/dev, file services and analytics, on a single platform.
OASIS is comprised of several services, each one handling a key function to provide an infinitely scalable architecture while optimizing performance to enable the consolidation of multiple workloads.
- Cluster Manager: The Cluster Manager controls all the core services that run on a Cohesity Cluster. This layer is responsible for maintaining all configuration information, networking information, and the general state of all other components in the system. This was purpose-built to provide better performance and a higher level of fault tolerance than any other existing open-source solutions on the market.
- I/O Engine: The I/O Engine is responsible for all read and write operations that take place on the cluster. It is comprised of the write cache, which lives in SSD, and the tiered storage layers that span across both SSD and spinning disk. For write operations, as data is streamed into the system, it is broken down into smaller chunks, which are optimally placed onto the tier that best suits the profile of that particular chunk. The I/O Engine also ensures that all data is written to two nodes concurrently, providing write fault tolerance. This enables completely nondisruptive operations, even if a node were to become unavailable during a given operation. For read operations, the I/O Engine receives the location information of the data from the Distributed Metadata Store and fetches the associated chunk(s). If a particular chunk of data is frequently requested in a short period of time, that chunk is kept in SSD to ensure quick access and optimized performance on subsequent requests.
- Metadata Store: The Metadata Store is a consistent key value store that serves as the file system metadata storage repository. Optimized for quick retrieval of file system metadata, the Metadata Store is continually balanced across all nodes within the cluster (accounting for nodes that are added or removed from the cluster). The Metadata Store ensures that three copies are maintained at any point in time, so that data is always protected, even in the event of a failure.
- Indexing Engine: The Indexing Engine is responsible for inspecting the data that is stored in a cluster. On its first pass, the Indexing Engine grabs high-level indices for quick data retrieval around top-level objects, such as Virtual Machine (VM) names and metadata. On its second pass, the Indexing Engine cracks open individual data objects, such as Virtual Machine Disks (VMDKs), and scans individual files within those data objects. This native indexing enables rapid search-and-recover capabilities to quickly find and restore files stored within higher-level data objects such as VMs.
- Integrated Data Protection Engine: The Integrated Data Protection Engine provides the basis to deliver a native, fully integrated data protection environment right from the Cohesity Data Platform. This engine is interoperable with third-party services, such as VMware APIs for Data Protection (VADP), to provide end-to-end data protection for customer environments. The Integrated Data Protection Engine is the core engine supporting Cohesity Protection.
Cohesity Storage Services
The next layer in the Cohesity Data Platform architecture consists of the Cohesity Storage Services, which provide the storage efficiency capabilities that customers depend on at a scale that no other solution can achieve.
Snapshots: In legacy storage solutions, snapshots (of a file system at a particular given point in time) form a chain, tracking the changes made to a set of data. Every time a change is captured, a new link is added to the chain. As these chains grow with each and every snapshot, the time it takes to retrieve data on a given request also grows because the system must re-link the chain to access that data.
Cohesity takes a different approach with it's patented SnapTree technology which create a tree of pointers that limits the number of hops it takes to retrieve blocks of data, regardless of the number of snapshots that have been taken. The figure below shows how data is accessed using SnapTree.
Because SnapTree limits the number of hops it takes to retrieve blocks of data when it is requested, customers are able to take snapshots as frequently as they need - without ever experiencing performance degradation.
This provides the ability to create custom snapshot schedules, with the granularity of taking a snapshot every couple of minutes for near continuous data protection, to meet a wide range of data protection requirements.
This SnapTree shows a snapshot of File 1 called File 2, but with two blocks of data updated. Blocks '3' and '4'. The new tree containes an intermediary node and leaf nodes to the new blocks, as well as a link to the intermediary node in the original file. All blocks can be accessed within three hops in either file version.
Data Deduplication: Data deduplication is a common storage efficiency feature that frees up storage capacity by eliminating redundant data blocks. Different vendors implement deduplication at a file-level and/or a block-level of different sizes, which only works well across a single storage pool or within a single object (e.g. application or VM).
Cohesity leverages a unique, variable-length data deduplication technology that spans an entire cluster, resulting in significant savings across a customer's entire storage footprint. In addition to providing global data deduplication, Cohesity allows customers to decide if their data should be deduplicated in-line (when the data is written to the system), post-process (after the data is written to the system), or not at all.
By using Rabin Fingerprinting algorithm, a variable-length window is created. This optimizes the level of deduplicaiton no matter the type of file.
Intelligent Data Placement: Intelligent data placement ensures that data is always available, even in the event of a node failure. When data is written to a Cohesity Cluster, a second copy of that data is instantly replicated to another node within the cluster. For customers who have multiple Cohesity Blocks (a chassis with one or more Cohesity Nodes) or racks, Cohesity will always optimize the placement of the data by placing the second copy on a different block or in a different rack, providing an even higher level of fault tolerance. For customers with stricter fault tolerance requirements, the Replication Factor (RF), or number of copies of data that are replicated within a Cluster, can be adjusted to fit their needs.
This intelligent placement, or sharding, of data also enhances the performance characteristics of the data placed on the cluster. As the data hits the cluster, it is broken down into smaller bite-sized chunks (typically 8K to 24K). By spreading data across all nodes of a cluster the I/O load is shared across all available resources and eliminates the notion of a 'Hot Node' or 'Hot Disk' which would get accessed more frequently and would create an I/O bottleneck.
As data is ingested into OASIS it is evenly distributed across the available nodes of the cluser. This reduces the notion of 'Hot Nodes' or 'Hot Disks' which plague systems that keep an entire copy of the object on a single node.
Cohesity Application Environment
To facilitate the move from fragmented silos of infrastructure, Cohesity has created the application environment, an extensible way for customers to leverage a single platform to deliver multiple applications. The environment provides a consumer-like experience to deliver business-specific applications and services, with built-in, native applications to address common operational workloads like data protection, test and development, and analytics, as well as the ability to develop custom applications through its open Analytics Workbench archecture. The first three applications are Cohesity Protection, Cohesity DevOps, and Cohesity Analytics.
Manage and Protect Data Seamlessly with Cohesity Protection
Cohesity Protection delivers a fully integrated, end-to-end data protection environment right out of the box. Unlike traditional data protection applications that require external media and management servers, Cohesity Protection runs directly on the Cohesity Data Platform. Cohesity Protection works seamlessly with virtual environments running VMware. Cohesity leverages VMware Virtual APIs for Data Protection (VADP) to seamlessly connect to a vCenter environment and discover existing resources (e.g. VMs and ESX hosts). Once inventoried, the Cohesity Protection app triggers a VMware snapshot for objects that are designated for protection, and quiesces the Virtual Machine before taking a snapshot to ensure it is consistent. Once the snapshot is taken on the host, OASIS ingests, sorts, and stores the initial baseline copy (the first time it is protected) and will continue to protect that virtual machine with incremental snapshots, based on the deltas from the previous snapshot, for future backups. These snapshots are powered by Cohesity's patented SnapTree data structure.
At its core, SnapTree uses a variant of a B+ tree data structure1 , which is optimized for storing large amounts of data efficiently on disk and in memory. This optimized search tree breaks away from the traditional link and chain methodology for organizing and storing snapshot data. Using the tree structure, access to any point in the tree takes exactly three hops no matter how many snapshots there are, without having to rebuild any chain linkage. This provides instant access to a given file system at any point in time.
Moving away from the traditional linked architecture of snapshots, in which snapshots form long metadata chains, SnapTree provides access to any block of data within three pointers of reference, no matter how many snapshots are taken of a given file. Conversely, the methodology that legacy storage vendors use requires the user to collapse chains of snapshots, or drastically reduce the frequency of snapshots, in order to avoid the performance penalty associated with long metadata chains. SnapTree allows organizations to protect their data as frequently as they would like, and save those delta snapshots for any period of time without any performance penalty. Unlike traditional data protection technologies that require users to restore a full initial backup and each subsequent incremental backup in order to restore a particular file or object, SnapTree provides a virtual, fully hydrated image for every snapshot, enabling instant search-and-recover operations, regardless of the snapshot version in which that file or object resides.
When configuring the Cohesity Protection app, users have a few options when it comes to data reduction. Cohesity Protection provides a policy-driven, variable-size data deduplication engine, which is configurable to support inline, postprocess, or no deduplication for a particular dataset. The benefits of this deduplication are shared globally across the entire cluster, maximizing storage efficiency.
As the data is being streamed into the Cohesity Cluster, a background process automatically indexes the virtual machine environment along with the contents of the filesystem inside of each VM. This index powers a Google-like search box, enabling instant wildcard searches for any VM, file, or object protected by Cohesity Protection. This index is fully distributed across the entire cluster and is served from the cluster's flash memory, ensuring extremely fast access to the data in the index collections.
This Instant Search powers two key components of the Protection environment: File Restore and Virtual Machine Restore. In the case of a File Restore, users are presented with a list of filenames that match the search string. From this list, they can select the individual file or object they would like to recover from a particular VM. They can then select the point-in-time snapshot from which they would like to recover the file. In the case of a full Virtual Machine restore users search for a particular VM by name and are then presented with a list of snapshots associated with that VM. Once chosen, the instance of the VM is recovered and can then be cloned back to a given Resource Pool within the vCenter environment.
Use Data Efficiently with Cohesity DevOps
In order to effectively leverage data that is stored on the Cohesity Data Platform, Cohesity provides a SnapTree-based, instant cloning capability. This requires no additional capacity and has no performance impact, so that users can quickly spin up an environment for test and development. These clones are created by taking another snapshot of a given VM, creating a new VMX file, and registering it with vCenter. In addition, a REST API is exposed to enable applicationconsistent SnapTree-based clones for other workflows.
This example of SnapTree shows how a SnapTree snapshot can be used to power a virtual machine. Only newly created blocks are written to the system, and the reference pointers are still kept in place. Again, all blocks of data are reachable within three hops.
Gain Powerful Insight from Data with Cohesity Analytics
Leveraging Cohesity's powerful indexing capabilities, Cohesity Analytics provides organizations with intelligent analytics capabilities to derive business intelligence from their data. Native reporting capabilities include storage utilization trends, user metrics, and capacity forecasting, providing businesses with the information they need to anticipate future growth. Reports and real-time graphs of ingest rates, data reduction rates, IOPS, and latencies provide a holistic view of the performance and storage efficiency of a particular Cohesity Cluster.
In addition to the native reporting and analytics, Cohesity Analytics also includes Analytics Workbench, which allows users to inject custom code to run against a particular data set in the Cluster. This code leverages all the available compute and memory resources available, as well as the abstracted map/reduce functions, to quickly answer any query.
One of the first tools written for Analytics Workbench offers the ability to pattern-match across any file type for a pattern or phrase that exists inside of the file, providing a distributed GREP command for a Cohesity Cluster, regardless of the size.
One Platform. Infinite Possibilities.
For far too long, organizations have been forced to deal with the complexity, cost, and overhead associated with managing multiple solutions from multiple vendors to achieve their business needs. Now, with Cohesity, organizations are able to eliminate data sprawl across their environment, reduce the complexity and cost of managing multiple solutions, and immediately benefit from the consolidation of multiple workloads onto a single platform. It's time to move to move away from legacy architectures, modernize enterprise IT, and bring order to the data chaos.

Smile Lab Teeth Whitening Review
For the last few weeks, I've been trailing Smile Lab Teeth Whitening Strips! Smile Lab is a Stockholm based cosmetics company, founded in London, way back in 2008 by young aspiring dentists and a group of Creative Entrepreneurs. Half of the team were seeking perfection in dental beauty hygiene, the other half seeking perfection in design and function. The result of their heads getting together was a highly innovative smile beauty care brand with a distinct focus on design and quality. I was very excited to try the strips, I'm very big into home teeth whitening kits and have also tried the Whitewash Nano Kit, you can read that review here. Smile lab's philosophy is that if they can't create a cooler, smarter, easier and a better experience for their customers, they simply won't do it at all. Their range includes teeth whitening treatments, daily use smile beauty tools and luxury accessories.
Let's start with first impressions, I really loved the branding for obvious reasons, the pink colour! It presents a really feminine, luxury brand to me. The box is very swish which the strips come in, and even has a cute little pocket where you can eliminate the packaging and store compactly. However, I can only see this brand appealing to women, not men just purely because of the packaging. I asked my partner, would you buy this? And his reaction said it all, not with the bright pink colours or women on the website.
The strips are really easy to use and you only have them on your teeth for 15 minutes, I wore mine on a morning while I was getting ready for work, even in a rush they fit into any routine. I was a little sceptical about what sort of results I'd achieve within that little time but hey, that's why they're called FLASH strips right?! For those who've never used strips before, they include an instruction leaflet. Smile lab claims they work really well under great stress and will positively change the way you feel about your smile. I was really impressed with how they work. There's a difference pretty much straight away after use, my teeth looked a few shades lighter after only one application. I know they all claim to do that, and yes, I have been sent this set but I'm not just saying it because I have too, these strips really work. The stripes taste minty, a bit like the taste you get after you've been to the dentist. They also contain cleaning and hygiene agents, which mean they're really good for your dental care!
Overall, I loved the Smile lab Flash Whitening Strips. They come in at just £35, which is a total bargain for budget teeth whitening and for the results. I'll definitely be purchasing another batch and trying their other products!
Do you use a teeth whitener?

Shocking figures show the majority of British people planning to holiday abroad haven't sorted out travel insurance.
A survey by the Money Advice Service found that of people who expect to go away this summer, 49% have arranged travel insurance, 17% haven't yet got round to it, and 34% say they won't get a policy at all. Though the survey questioned 2,000 people, that response could translate to a million people making the trip without cover.
A similar survey for Confused.com found that of people who regularly take a break overseas, only 55% always get travel cover. Meanwhile 15% say they never get travel insurance.
In both cases, holidaymakers are putting their finances at risk by this supposed money-saving tactic. While British visitors to European Union countries will normally get the same level of medical treatment as locals, only insurance will cover associated costs such as being flown home if necessary, or having family members extend a stay to be by your bedside.
For visitors going further afield, particularly to the United States, the costs of medical treatment can be crippling. Indeed, there has even been talk about whether Brits should be legally required to carry travel insurance when visiting the US.

4 Flow Measurement Trends to Watch in 2015
As another year comes to an end, I'd like to call your attention to four trends that call my attention for 2015.

Coriolis flowmeters are valued for their accuracy, their reliability, and because they have no moving parts. Through new technology enhancements, Coriolis meters are breaking into new application environments.
While the magnetic flowmeter market is a mature and stable one, there are some new product developments in the magmeter market, and these new developments favor continued growth. In fact, a steady stream of new products has kept the magnetic flowmeter market vibrant with growth.
Despite competition from ultrasonic, multiphase, and other new-technology flowmeters, turbine flowmeters remain and will continue to maintain a viable role for a variety of applications. In particular, they excel at measuring clean, steady, medium- to high-speed flow of low-viscosity fluids. They offer simplicity, turndown, and the capability of customizing solutions for various applications.
When most people talk about ultrasonic flowmeters, they are thinking of transit-time meters. Transit-time ultrasonic flowmeters work best with clean fluids, but suppliers have evolved the technology so it can also accurately measure the flow of fluids with some impurities.

Do you want to get the upper hand over your competitors? Do your competitors market via Facebook and you don't? Are you motivated to top their campaigns each and every time? You will need planning and strategy to do this and this article will help in that regard.
When you publish something on your website or other social media accounts, link to it from your Facebook page. For example, link your blog to your Facebook so that a summary of every post appears automatically on your page. You can even link your Twitter account to your Facebook page and have all tweets show up there as well.
Never let a Facebook page get overridden by spam. Look for the filters that allow you to easily remove it. Anyone that is an administrator on your profile is able to enter some keywords into the filter so that those things can't be posted to your page.
Facebook Offers allows you to promote contests or free giveaways to your customers. First, write a description of your offer. Then, set the "Promoted Post" flag from your wall. Depending on the offer, you may even want to promote it to people who aren't followers.
To succeed with Facebook marketing, it is crucial that you are aware of the times to post on other pages besides your own. When you do so, you can get some good attention on your brand. However, it needs to be the type of attention you need. Make postings on other Facebook pages only if you have worthy content. Avoid spamming at all costs.
Chose what you share as an update carefully. If your updates are boring or off-topic, you'll lose fans. Every update should be entertaining, helpful, or should teach them something. Utilize Facebook Insights in order to determine what updates are most successful to give your audience similar content.
Considering all the information available, you have no reason to fail at beating the competition with Facebook marketing. Now you can show them a few important things about what it takes to succeed! Use the important tips you learned today to help you in your marketing endeavors.

Love the clock, but I would definitely get it repaired. So cool!

Mad Max: Fury Road (Cert 15)
Starring: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoe Kravitz, Courtney Eaton, Abbey Lee.
Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) is the enigmatic driver of a mighty 18-wheeler mobile war rig belonging to Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), the leader of The Citadel.
The despot has enslaved five women (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoe Kravitz, Courtney Eaton, Abbey Lee), to provide him with a viable male heir.
Furiosa kidnaps the women and flees across the Wasteland with Immortan Joe and his army in hot pursuit. Among the chasing horde is shaven-headed, tattooed acolyte Nux (Nicholas Hoult), whose poisoned blood is replenished by a living donor, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), strapped to the front of his hot rod.
During the chase, Max breaks free from Nux and begrudgingly helps Furiosa and the women to evade Immortan Joe's clutches.
Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth instalment of George Miller's post-apocalyptic franchise and delivers thrillingly choreographed sequences of carmageddon, which build to a jaw-dropping finale.
The orgy of high-octane auto mayhem is diminished on the small screen but still makes Fast & Furious 7 look like a sedate Sunday afternoon drive.
Hardy perfects an array of grunts and growls in place of dialogue. He's a dull boy next to Theron's gutsy alpha female, who goes toe-to-toe and trades blow for bone-crunching blow with the grizzled anti-hero.
When director Miller briefly takes his foot off the accelerator, he hopes we'll be too giddy on exhaust fumes to care deeply about plot and characterisation.
Both sit quietly in the back seat, waiting for the next rev of a V-8 engine. A five-disc box set comprising the four Mad Max films, a feature-length documentary and four exclusive art cards is also available.
Rating: 4/5
Tomorrowland: A World Beyond (Cert 12)
Starring: George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy, Hugh Laurie, Thomas Robinson, Tim McGraw, Pierce Gagnon.
At the 1964 New York World Fair, young inventor Frank Walker (Thomas Robinson) fails to impress judge David Nix (Hugh Laurie) with his misfiring jetpack.
However, the boy does catch the eye of an enigmatic girl called Athena (Raffey Cassidy), who gives Frank a lapel pin emblazoned with a capital T that magically grants him access to a parallel dimension called Tomorrowland.
Many years later, Frank (now played by George Clooney) is a grizzled recluse, haunted by the past. A spirited young woman called Casey Newton (Britt Robertson), who has glimpsed this futuristic realm by touching her own lapel pin, gatecrashes Frank's life at the most inopportune moment.
"You've been manipulated to believe you're part of something incredible," Frank warns Casey as they travel back to Tomorrowland to discover the fairy tale realm has been corrupted beyond recognition.
Tomorrowland: A World Beyond is a big budget fantasy which vociferously encourages children to dream. How ironic that Brad Bird's picture is short on invention and ingenuity, despite a trio of slick set pieces in the opening hour. Rising star Cassidy, from Worsley near Manchester, outshines Clooney and Robertson in their underwritten roles. A framing device, which allows Frank and Casey to jointly narrate the story — and constantly bicker — grates and is ultimately superfluous.
Once the cogs of a preposterous plot begin to whir, any exhilaration quickly dissipates, leaving us to slog through an exceedingly pedestrian second hour that is heavy on exposition and light on wonder.
Rating: 3/5

As soon as you drop tables you find that making nicely formated and accessible forms is not that simple. There are many discussed methods to achieve this and there will always be something to argue about them. Having said that I present you here with a solution that in most of the cases works for me. I hope you find this useful.
There were a couple of things I had in mind when creating this form, first of all the code would have to be valid XHTML, clean semantic and well formated. This would need to have a good balance between accessibility and flexibility to make it portable and easy to style. This way you have more chances to easily copy and modify to adjust to different needs.

"Normalizing Abortion" by Françoise Girard [special 28 September report]
On September 28, activists around the world will mark International Safe Abortion Day, a global campaign to repeal laws that deny women the right to reproductive health care. The message is simple: no woman anywhere should have to tolerate restrictions that too often lead to injury or death.
NEW YORK (27 September 2018) – Last month in Buenos Aires, Elizabeth, a 34-year-old mother of two, died after inserting parsley into her cervix in a desperate attempt to induce an abortion. Days earlier, Argentina's Senate had narrowly defeated legislation that would have legalized abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. If that bill had passed, Elizabeth might be alive today. Instead, she is a grim statistic: one of more than 40 Argentinian women who will die this year from botched abortions.
On September 28, activists around the world will mark International Safe Abortion Day, an opportunity to mourn those who have died because of oppressive anti-abortion laws. But this day is also about spreading a message on behalf of Elizabeth and other women like her: Abortion, while in many countries a political wedge issue, is simply a fact of life.
Each year, 25% of all pregnancies – about 56 million – are terminated. Abortions occur in every country and within every socioeconomic class. In the United States, 61% of abortion patients are in their 20s, 59% are already mothers, and nearly two-thirds identify with an organized religion. But abortion is most common in developing countries, where access to family-planning services is often limited. In fact, a staggering 88% of the world's abortions occur in the Global South.
Abortion is a safe procedure that becomes hazardous wherever it is legally restricted. Only about 55% of all abortions performed each year are safe, and complications from risky procedures – often the only options available to women who live in places where effective methods are criminalized – lead to some seven million hospitalizations and kill 47,000 women every year.
The struggle for safe abortion is centuries old. While the methods varied, abortion was a normal – and often accepted – practice in ancient China, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It was only in the nineteenth century that Catholic and colonial elites propagated anti-abortion laws to control women's sexuality, bodies, and lives.
But, contrary to popular opinion, criminalization does not reduce the number of abortions; it only makes having one more dangerous. In Latin America and the Caribbean, where the procedure is banned or restricted, rates of abortion – and resulting complications – are among the highest in the world. By contrast, in North America and Western Europe, where abortion is legal and widely accessible, rates of abortion are comparatively low and safety is high.
Moreover, when abortion is decriminalized, death rates fall and maternal injuries vanish almost overnight. For example, a year after Romania decriminalized abortion in 1990, maternal deaths fell by half, while in South Africa, deaths plummeted 91% in the first four years after passage of the 1996 Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act. Simply put, there is no medical reason why any woman should have to risk her life to end an unwanted pregnancy.
Buoyed by these statistics, rights activists around the world are demanding changes to national abortion laws, and since 2000, more than 30 countries have liberalized their approach. In May, voters in Ireland repealed the country's abortion ban, a significant victory in a society so deeply influenced by its Catholic faith. Even in Argentina, hope remains high. Opinion polls show strong support for abortion rights, and the bill that could have saved Elizabeth's life failed by only seven votes.
Still, the fight is far from over. Globally, Internet searches for misoprostol, a drug that women use to induce abortion safely, are surging. In South Africa, only about 5% of public clinics and hospitals offer abortions, and a third of women still do not even know that abortion is legal. In Morocco, meanwhile, women who campaign for abortion rights are arrested and harassed. And in the US, activists are preparing for a rollback of reproductive freedom if Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed.
The fiercest opposition to abortion rights originates with the Catholic Church and other conservative forces, and it has direct consequences both for women and for their countries' health-care systems. Recent research conducted by my organization, the International Women's Health Coalition, found that in more than 70 jurisdictions worldwide – including 45 US states – health-care providers can deny abortion services to patients based simply on doctors' personal beliefs.
These restrictions are unconscionable. Abortion is part of women's lives. It is time for governments to listen to the millions of women who are demanding reproductive justice and bodily autonomy. Laws must recognize and guarantee a woman's right to sexual and reproductive care. Services must be made financially and medically accessible. And women everywhere – regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation – must have access to safe abortion services.
Elizabeth never had these opportunities, and millions of women around the world are in the same position. Unless and until that changes, every one of them is a potential tragedy.

We recently discussed why New Years' fitness resolutions typically fail and pointed to recent studies that discussed these reasons in length. Now it is time to list the top tips for success in 2016 so that you have every possible chance to succeed. Whether your goals are to trim down, to add lean muscle mass, strongman competitions, bodybuilding competitions, bulking, or cutting, these tried and true tips will start you on the path to success.
Define Your Goal
Before you reach your destination, you need to know where you are going. It is time to envision your ultimate goals. Are you looking to shed 20 pounds, or add 10 pounds of lean muscle mass? Are you looking to deadlift 400 pounds? Now that you know what you are looking to accomplish, write it down. A goal not written down is simply a wish.
Think about the path that you plan to take to get to your goal. If you would like to lose 20 pounds, you can realistically do that in 2-3 months safely. If you are looking at losing 100 pounds, that is not something that you will be able to accomplish in 2 months, so break that goal down into small chunks so that you have a few realistic goals.
No One Has the Time – We Make the Time
You should strive to workout every day without fail. Make it a habit and it will stick. Think about working out for an hour a day. It does not have to be 60 minutes of heavy lifting every day, but it should be physical activity. Even a brisk walk is a nice workout sometimes. Of course, at the beginning, you will need to work up to a tough workout, so take a brisk walk for 30 minutes and strive to improve each time.
Find Like-minded People
Surround yourself with people that you admire and look up to who share the same goals that you do. If you hang out with friends who eat horribly most of the time, you will find your journey much tougher. This is not to say that you have to dump your existing friends, but talk to them about your goals. Most of the time, they will be your ultimate support staff. True friends want you to succeed and feel better, so they will understand and support you. This is a good time to also find people who enjoy the same activities as you. A journey taken with others will ultimately be more successful with multiple people than you going at it alone.
Learn, Learn and Learn Some More
In this game, you never stop learning. Those who think they know everything end up knowing the least. Those who know that there is always more to learn are the ones to learn from. Read books from people you admire. Read relevant fitness blogs and listen to podcasts. Do not assume that everyone is an expert, but do assume that you can learn something from anyone.
Limit Eating Out
This one hurts people a lot, but the truth is that eating out typically leads to eating less than optimal meals. Cook meals ahead for yourself and take them with you to parties, friends houses, etc. What seems odd at first, becomes second nature to people. I rarely get asked why I bring my own meals any longer, but I still get asked why I always carry around a gallon of water everywhere I go.
Learn to Cook
Who says you have to eat bland chicken and brown rice every day. My meals are surely never bland. I have always had a desire to improve my cooking skills, but there is not much skill involved in putting chicken breast in a slow cooker with some measured spices. There is always a way to make something taste better, but you will not understand how to cook food if you do not learn how to cook first.
Learn to Eat Right
Following the path of learning how to do things, learn which foods are good for you. These foods should be the ones that make up the majority of your diet. Opt for brown rice instead of white. Opt for lean cuts of steak over fatty ones. Learn when to eat the majority of your carbs and when to eat specific proteins. Learn about the foods that are safer to eat at night.
Take Advantage of Software to Log Your Meals and Workouts
Keep a running log of what you eat and when you workout. These invaluable metrics will come in hand, so start collecting them now. Years ago, we logged everything on paper and guessed on a lot of our macros whereas the software out there these days is very good for the most part.

Teddy Bear Tuesdays: TedBlake Harris 06.16.2015
Two of my favorite things are teddy bears and ideas; in particular, the anatomy of ideas. Where they come from, how they grow and why they evolve the way that they do. In light of these interests, I thought it would be fun if, each week, we selected a famous fictional teddy bear and explored how he and his creator rose to such prominence.
This week's pick: Ted
If you had to pick the polar opposite of our previous Teddy Bear of the Week (the sweet, innocent, overall-clad Corduroy) you'd be hard pressed to find a better candidate than today's selection. So perhaps the best way to get started with today's post is via a comparison between Corduroy and Ted:
|First Appearance
|As the huggable hero of Don Freeman's 1968 children's book Corduroy
|As the lewd, loudmouth at the center of Seth MacFarlane's 2012 film Ted
|Preferred Clothing
|Green Overalls
|Birthday Suit
|Relationship with
|Drinking/Thunder Buddy
|Often Seen on the
|Search For…
|Hated Rival
|The Night Watchman
|The New York Yankees
|Most Special Lady
|Lisa, who sews a button on Corduroy
|Tami-Lynn, who sows her wild oats with Ted
|Thoughts on the
|Women of Boston
|"a paler, uglier sort than women from the elsewheres of life"
Pretty stark contrast, huh? Yet, amazingly, Ted manages to somehow be almost as endearing. How the heck is that possible? Well, a lot of it comes down to the talent of his creator, Seth MacFarlane, and the constraints that MacFarlane gives to his not-so-cuddly bear. In fact, perhaps the best way to illustrate why Ted is able to "get away" with so much bad behavior is by taking a look at the work done by the folks who recently sued MacFarlane for allegedly stealing their idea…
The lawsuit was filed in July 2014—by Bengal Mangle Productions LLC, against Seth MacFarlane—alleging that Ted was "strikingly similar" to their own creation: Charlie the Abusive Teddy Bear.
If you're not familiar with Charlie, this minute-long sketch entitled "Charlie Kills a Hooker" provides a representative glimpse into this teddy's brand of hijinks.
Although the video above, and others in the Charlie series, might manage to wrangle up a few chuckles here and there, that's just about all it manages to do. Nor, in all honesty, does it attempt to be any more than that. Because, after all, these clips are essentially meant to one-minute long, one-trick ponies; whereas MacFarlane's challenge with Ted was to craft a somewhat similarly dysfunctional teddy bear (or at least one that wasn't all sweetness and sunshine), who could carry an entire feature length film.
To accomplish this, MacFarlane managed to walk a very fine line with Ted. It was a balancing act, really. For example, the things Ted says are generally edgy; but, as the voice actor, MacFarlane manages to blunt this with a subtle sweetness to his voice. Unlike Charlie, who comes across as a numb, unfeeling jerk, Ted appears to an excitable albeit opinionated, ball-buster. If we were simply introduced to Ted this way (as is the case with the superficial presentation of Charlie), perhaps we'd be less apt to like Ted and forgive his less admirable traits.
But one of the great things about Ted, and deserving of another feather in MacFarlane's cap, is how Ted is introduced. Instead of simply thrusting the character at us with a Here-You-Go mentality (look: a foul-mouthed talking bear. Laugh!), the film takes more of a What-If approach. What if, when you were a child, you loved your teddy bear so much that you wished him to be real and then that dream came true? In this context, we already feel something for Ted; not just because he's a product of a world we can relate to, nor even just because he's deserving of a young boy's affection, but because we get to witness his "birth," as it were, we're able to feel with him the ensuing journey ahead. So we smile with him as he becomes an overnight sensation, and then we commiserate with him as he falls from grace and starts to resemble a former child star. Not only do we commiserate, but we also accept his unsavory behavior as a byproduct of circumstance (as opposed to viewing him as simply a lazy good-for-nothing).
In the end, its flourishes like this that make Ted (as a movie) work, and simultaneously make Ted (as a character) lovable in his own way. It's certainly not the same way we love Corduroy, but it's a fluffy reminder that affection comes in many forms.

Fort Street High School Chamber Choir. Photo: WinkiPoP Media
An interview with Emily Henderson from Fort St High School Chamber Choir
Fort Street High School Chamber Choir, winners of the Jury Vote for Youth (19/u) Choirs in the 2017 Australian Choral Grand Prix, have built up a reputation for exquisite harmonies, soulful sounds and for captivating audiences from start to finish.
Having claimed victory in the Australian Choral Grand Prix for four consecutive years, 2014 to 2017, they have truly solidified their place in the Sydney Eisteddfod history books.
Chorister Emily Henderson recently spoke to Sydney Eisteddfod about her experiences with Fort Street High School Chamber Choir and why she loves choral singing.
Describe choral singing in five words
Teamwork, listening, communicating, emotive, fun
Tell us how you became involved in your first choir?
I was involved in my primary school's choir, Hunters Hill Public School. It was small, and at that point we all swapped between soprano and alto, but it was lots of fun. I particularly remember singing as a choir for school ANZAC day (my mother cried and was very proud!).
Why do you love being a chorister?
I get to take something away from it: a group of friends who all work together and shape some very nice harmonies. Hopefully, the audience also gets to take something away from it: a performance that communicates something to them individually.
What has been a highlight of performing with Fort Street High School Chamber Choir?
Last year we got to be backing vocalists for Josh Groban! It was incredible to work in a professional environment, not to mention we were all a little star-struck.
What styles of music do you like singing with Fort Street High School Chamber Choir most?
I really enjoy a lot of the more modern choral music with gorgeous harmonies and grating dissonances. I'm something of a sucker for the sad, slow, soaring songs.
What is Fort Street High School Chamber Choir hoping to achieve next as an ensemble?
I guess we're always trying to improve our sound and try all sorts of different pieces. In a few months we'll be performing in the Resonance series of concerts.
Do you have any tips for somebody thinking of joining a choir?
Do it!! Everyone can sing! It's really important to listen to everyone else in the choir. Put your heart into it!
What do you believe the future holds for choral singing in Australia?
Hopefully it's a very bright future. I think encouraging young people to be passionate about choral singing will lead to lifetimes of enjoyment, and a better fostering of this music throughout Australia.

I guess we all do it from time to time. But it is a problem.
"What are you talking about this time?"
Confusing one person (and/or belief) with another.
"What happened?"
Well, someone on a website has confused my name (Jay E. Adams) with someone else (James E. Adams). With best wishes to James—whom I know, but haven't seen for ages—I say to all who would tend to do so, "look before you leap." Take care to be correct. As I'm sure James doesn't want to have to defend my writings (at times I get tired of doing so myself), so too I don't want to have to defend his (I'm sure he wants to do that, and not have me do so). So, friends—enemies—neutral persons (as if there could be such), please distinguish the things that differ. Granted that our names are very similar—in fact, if only two initials were used, they would be identical. However, on his booklet, James doesn't use initials—he uses his name; just as I do on my stuff.
So, read carefully, get it straight, and allow each of us handle comments, bouquets, and attacks on our views on his own. Don't you agree with this?
"Sure do! I'm certain that James doesn't want to have to defend what you write!"

Then you need to head over to KHouse where Chuck Missler is currently working through his infamous Genesis series. This is the one that captivated me so much I bought the entire series and discovered how to find Jesus on every page in the book (as well as others after it). But for me personally, because I love science and absolutely fundamentally accept the biblical account of creation, I was just amazed at how much more he brought out of what I thought I knew of the opening sentences of Genesis. Like so many others I'd read Genesis without stopping to take time to really dig any deeper than the basic verses. But Chuck has such a wide range of knowledge on so many important topics (science, astronomy, physics, chemistry, maths etc) he opens up the book in a new and vibrant way that truly does stop you in your tracks and go "WOW!!"
I previously wrote about this here (new window) and having re-read that post, I'm reminded of just how much I truly enjoyed that whole series that I'm now going to get stuck straight back into it once again.
So if you have questions about the meaning of life, and want to explore it a bit more (without heavy theology or doctrine to cloud it), then spend a little time working through these talks on KHouse- they're done in nice little 15-20 minute chunks with a different one each day but you can review the series in succession if you just check out the bottom of the page where it will show the previous month's "episodes" for you to listen to.
