Last month on November 8, the Nation's representative brand for moist dressing bandage for wounds, Medifoam from Korea Mundipharma invited pediatric cancer patient families for a <Healing Picnic>.
We had a wonderful time at the <Korea Mundipharma Healing Picnic> with 23 pediatric cancer patient families, also together with Medifoam exclusive model, actor and singer Lee Seunggi! Shall we visit the warm and happy atmosphere?
The <Healing Picnic> with Korea Mundipharma and pediatric cancer patient families was held at the incredibly beautifully scenic Gapyeong 'HS Villa.'
Korea Mundipharma executives and employees prepared delicious goodies such as macarons, a cupcake tree, cookies and more for a bright <Korea Mundipharma Healing Picnic>.
About 70 members from 23 pediatric cancer patient families came together for this wonderful event.
Like its name, the <Healing Picnic> included many different features such as delicious food, a string quartet, and wonderful people who made the place shine. The children and the families all enjoyed the happy atmosphere to the fullest!
The first program for the <Healing Picnic> was a flower decorating class in which the families created their own Christmas tress! A magic class for the kids and a treasure hunt also got a resounding response.
Of course, Medifoam model actor Lee Seunggi also joined together in the <Healing Picnic>. All the children and the family members were so happy to meet Lee Seunggi.
It was said that Lee Seunggi's heartwarming and friendly nature had a big impact on the happy atmosphere of the healing picnic. Lee Seunggi also prepared a fan signing for the pediatric cancer patient families! There was also a family that prepared a sincere gift for Lee Seunggi.
Wanting to gift the pediatric cancer patient families with happy, healing memories, <Korea Mundipharma Healing Picnic>! The picnic ended with the children and families all so happy.
Korea Mundipharma, and also Lee Seunggi, together for the healing picnic on behalf of pediatric cancer patient families! Did you all enjoy this?
Medifoam plans to meet you all in varied ways, so please stay tuned :)!!!
This is another plus of having reputable CF endorsements. Yeah, the lucrative contracts allow stars to donate to good causes, but also allow them to be involved in these types of meaningful events… if charitable events is important to the company and/or the CF model is active in that way. Love that Seunggi's always been involved in these kinds of things^^
[NEWS] Lee Seung Gi, Healing Picnic with Pediatric Cancer Patients & Families 'Heartwarming'

Can You Hear Me Now?
With that said, I'm going to state my case....a word of caution, however, I don't take too kindly to being told that I am wrong or to the suggestion that it is indeed I who need be corrected.
I love my hubby dearly...wouldn't trade him in for a newer model anytime soon. However, it needs to be said...that he is spoiled...quite spoiled indeed. I take the blame. I wait on him (and my boys) hand and foot without thanks or recognition. And most of the time, it doesn't bother me at all....until it does, and then watch out! Because I- like many an elephant-never forget. Right, wrong, or indifferent I quietly make record of all wrong doing against me whether it's real or perceived. You are aware that perception is reality, right? So whether offense was intended or not, it is how it is perceived that matters.
When hubby has the misfortune to toot his own horn after helping with home or children, I tend to get a little hot and bothered. Hence, I start to fester, bubble and boil. I'm a stew-er if you must know. And all past offenses get thrown into that boiling pot. Why, pray tell, does hubby need recognition and congratulations after the smallest of household tasks? I haven't an answer for that mystical query. I could entertain and captivate you with a tabulation of transgressions that are presently festering, bubbling, and boiling in my cauldron, but I won't....I will merely state my position on his most recent affront.
When stranded in the hotel this past weekend during the blizzard, I allowed hubby to make fake-turkey (seriously, there is no way that package should have been labeled "turkey") sandwiches for our crew. Nothing was really said of it (it was cold meat sandwiches for heaven's sake!), until we returned home from our long, arduous weekend. All afternoon and evening no one had moved their perched hiennies from the position of holding down the couch to help me with anything. I brought all suitcases and gear in, put it away, sorted laundry so we could have clean underwear (which really I'm the only one who cares!), and started supper. I may or may not have been getting a little huffy and growled toward hubby about helping. When he had the audacity to whine and moan about how I didn't help while he "served" everyone sandwiches in the hotel! Is anybody else chuckling???? Because, seriously. Do we really want to start making lists of who does what around the house???? I don't think so...because we all know how that is going to go.
Would it really be worth my while to list each and every task I do all day? Wipe butt....check. Feed five kids breakfast (our neighbor comes to our house before and after school to ride the bus...in case you were wondering where my extra son came from)...check. Clean up breakfast mess...check. Make school lunch...check. Get 3 out the door to the bus...check. Empty dishwasher and reload...check. Change toddler's diaper...check. He pooped, change it again...check. Make bed...check. Wash 4yo's sheets and make bed with clean sheets...check. OK...it's only about 7:45 am by this point...should I really continue, or all we all singing the same song by this point??!!
So if anyone out there can help me with this conundrum, please do. Why must hubby get a gold star and congratulatory announcement for his accomplished household task? Do their egos really need that much stroking (yes I'm talking about egos! Get your mind out of the gutter!!)? Or (tread softly, here) is it I who is being overly sensitive (or dramatic...the jury is still out on that one)? I haven't the answers for these worldly questions...but I'm tired of playing my violin, and my list of things to do is growing as we speak!

**Sorry...had to re-post, typo in my first comment.
Boy, can I relate! My husband farts and he thinks it's the London Symphony playing; he waits for applause.
I've found, at least with mine, that positive reinforcement is always necessary no matter what he does; cut the grass, fix house things. Like hey...dude, isn't this YOUR job?
When we were first married, we owned a gas station and he kept late hours. Dinner was always ready and waiting when he got in, even with a baby under my arm. Someone said to him, "you expect Patty to cook at 11 at night?"...his answer? "It's her job".
40 years later, I'm ready to quit.
How about we get into when THEY get sick? OMG...no one gets a worse cold, flu, backache, ass-ache than they do but, we still function through similar illnesses, pregnancies, etc.
Yeah, I'll give any of them a gold star...just let them bend over first....

Oh, men. After I had my second c-section and was recovering from MAJOR SURGERY, while breastfeeding the newborn and not sleeping, and preparing meals for the family.... blah blah blah.... my husband was heard telling every person who came to visit about how tired HE was. I seriously had to stop myself from physically injuring him.
Just leave your husband alone with the kids and all the dirty laundry and no prepared meals for a week. When you return he will be rubbing your feet and showering you in praises.
You're welcome!

My husband does not do this.
There is also a rule in the the house implemented by him that MOM should never carry anything heavier than her purse.
Your post made me hot. I have a lot to say about this and it is NOT that you need to change.
I will refrain as to not add fuel to your fire!

Girl, I thought I was the only one going through this. I, too, am a "boil-er" and everything gets put in that boiling pan. When it starts to over flow, it ALL comes out. Yet DH is always there to say "oh you can't say I don't help because I do" Okay, he does help but he can only list at least 2 things the ENTIRE week that he does where as I, too, am still doing things ALL DAY LONG.
I will never understand the male species but yet again they may never come to understand us either.

I did a post about this not too long ago about CHOREPLAY. I had told my husband I did 90% of the work around the house and he looked at me in disbelief..."90%???" he said to me...I told him he doesn't know 60% even exists!
There has been a load of clothes in the dryer (which has a window in it) and he could sit on the couch 15 feet from the dryer and never once think to open the dryer and fold the clothes. I blame myself, as I probably trained him to be ignorant of the things I do around the house, but my husband sometimes needs a little kick in the butt to get things done on his own!
Great post!

If my husbo did this, he would be in trouble, hahaha - but we don't have kidlets yet, but if we did, I doubt he would. He is actually probably going to be better with the kids than I am, hahaha. He's one of those rare breeds that goes gaga for kids (even though they belong to complete strangers). But can totally see how you would be frustrated about your husbo - but I am sure he makes up for it in other ways (wink, wink).

Ugh. Men. Seriously? Do they have ANY clue how ridiculous they are? You're not in the wrong here darlin, they're pitiful. Apparently all that heavy equipment between their legs takes SO much extra brain power to manipulate that there just isn't enough left over for common sense. If he wants gold stars, give 'em to him. Make a chart and put a list of EVERYTHING you do, and make HIM give you stars for the ones you accomplished, trust me, when he's done this for a few days, he won't be asking for kudos for making a freakin' sammich. Or you could always shoot him, I'd help you hide the body :)

Haha! You always give me such a good laugh! I, too, make some great speeches in my head. Like award winning. Too bad it doesn't happen in real life! I can't complain too much bc my hubs is a good helper when he's around...but every once in a while it seems like he's trying to get fired from laundry duty. I refuse to fire him.

You know what I *almost* would get excited about? If he actually emptied the trash when it was overflowing or take the pile of clean clothes up the flight of stairs when he walks up it 100 times a day to head to his office.

*Nods head in knowing sympathy*
The lovely man I'm married to (and he is, really) wants a flourish from a marching band every time he washes the dishes, or takes a clean basket upstairs, or makes eggs for him and for Boy (and leaves me a scorched egg pan every time... irks the daylights out of me). He has to tell me what he did! I'm awesome! I did X and I want recognition!
Bleh. I hear ya, sister. I really do.

The Star Ledger reports that the Jets are not happy with some of the cheap shots they got from the Pats Sunday:
Two of the Jets' top three cornerbacks were injured in Sunday's 31-14 loss to New England and one accused the Patriots of a cheap shot. Starting cornerback Dwight Lowery suffered a high left-ankle sprain on a kickoff return to open the second half while nickel back Donald Strickland sustained a concussion when he was slammed by Patriots right tackle Mark LeVoir on a block on a bubble screen to slot WR Wes Welker in the second quarter and neither player returned to the game and are expected to be out against the Panthers. Monday, Strickland said LeVoir's helmet-to-helmet hit was against the rules. "I think it was a real cheap shot," Strickland told The Star-Ledger. "He really didn't have to go at my head like that, especially with the NFL's precaution about helmet-to-helmet contact. It happened. It was a block and he took advantage of it. But I guarantee you the next time we play them it's going to be a different story. I'm making a point of emphasis to retaliate. That's the way I feel."

DataKeeper is the latest contender in a rising number of malware attacks driven by ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS). DataKeeper's ransomware service launched on February 20 of this year. Two days later, the malware claimed its first victims.
What does this latest iteration of RaaS-inspired malware mean for computing? The Cylance Threat Research team dug into this emerging threat for answers.
VIDEO: Cylance vs. DataKeeper
How does one test ransomware which is customized by each 'customer' upon creation? Our answer – create a new version of the malware and test it.
This first screen capture (below) shows the main configuration page for DataKeeper. It includes a simple four-step instruction list for customizing the malware and obtaining a decryption key for this unique instance:
This second screenshot highlights some of the customization options available to subscribers of the DataKeeper service. Here, the threat actor can select a range of file extensions to be targeted for encryption. An additional file can be included in the attack, if desired. This file will execute along with the malware and could be used to divert attention or perform additional operations.
Another screen provides options for setting the ransom. Once again, a four-step instruction guide is provided to the user. All payments must be made in BitCoin (BTC). The page features a counter to track the total number of victims versus the number of paying victims hit by the ransomware. Ransoms are presumably cashed out by toggling the Give me my money switch (NOTE: Cylance, of course, did not ransom anyone to test this feature).
When DataKeeper encrypts a system it leaves the following ransom message file in each affected folder. The message contains instructions for the victim to follow if they want to regain access to their data. Most importantly, it provides links to the decryption keys.
Once a victim provides their decryption key, they receive access to the decryptor.
The decryptor is the only known method of recovering the files. Unlike earlier versions of Hermes, the Data Keeper decryptor has not been cracked by researchers to provide free file recovery.
Companies and individuals face a growing threat from ransomware, which is more prolific and costly than ever. Some facts about ransomware that should concern everyone:
The easy creation and rising profitability of ransomware means it will remain a serious threat to all of us for the foreseeable future.

Humans are obsessed with sleep. We've not getting enough of it, and the tech world is flooded with wearables that confirm this fact. Now, scientists hope using activity monitors to study how and why animals sleep will help us get a better night's rest.
Smartwatch implants help track elephant sleep patterns
Sponsored Links
Professor Paul Manger from Wits University and his colleagues are using a tracker called an Actiwatch to study elephant sleep patterns in Botswana. They removed the watches' bands, insulated them with electrical tape and biologically inert wax, then attached them to the elephants' trunks. The trunk is the most mobile appendage, Manger said, and if it's still for more than five minutes it's reasonable to assume the animal is asleep.
Using the loggers and GPS collars, researchers found the elephants slept for two hours per day on average. They slept standing up most of the time, only lying down for about an hour every three or four days. This is likely the only time they were able to go into REM sleep, which means elephants possibly don't dream on a daily basis. The team also discovered the pachyderms could go without snoozing for up to 48 hours when disturbed by predators or poachers. Instead, they'd walk up to 18 miles away from the disturbance, giving up a night's sleep to avoid danger.
Previous behavioral research found zoo elephants can sleep for around four hours per day, either standing or lying down. If this new study is confirmed, wild elephants will have the shortest-known sleep time of any land mammal.
"Understanding how different animals sleep is important for two reasons," Manger told Phys.org. "First, it helps us to understand the animals themselves and discover new information that may aid the development of better management and conservation strategies, and, second, knowing how different animals sleep and why they do so in their own particular way, helps us to understand how humans sleep, why we do, and how we might get a better night's sleep."

The metal slitting machine is a device for longitudinal cutting of wide roll material. So each industry has the word in use, we can understand from the scope of use.
Metal slitting machine is mainly used for sub-metal coil: This is the current metal cutting equipment in the mainstream products, the market is often visible. Such as strip strip, stainless steel, copper … … its main for steel processing manufacturers (steel market operators, rolling mill manufacturers, electrical industry, cars, stamping parts, etc.).
Metal slitting machine structure: from the open book (unwinding), the introduction of materials, sub-slitting, coiling (rewinding) and other components of the equipment. Its main function is to set the length of the wide-length material cut into a narrow size of the coil, for the future to prepare other processing processes.
Metal slitting machine advantages: reasonable layout, easy operation, high degree of automation, high production efficiency, high precision, can be processed all kinds of cold-rolled, hot-rolled coil, silicon steel plate, stainless steel plate, color plate, aluminum and electroplating or After coating all kinds of metal sheet.
Metal slitting machine use: Widely used in automobiles, agricultural vehicles, containers, home appliances, packaging, building materials and other metal sheet processing industry.
The structure and function of metal slitting machine:
1, storage station: for the processing of raw materials to be stored, also known as raw materials standby, generally custom 1-2.
2, transport trolley: the storage station stored in the standby material into the unwinder, and through the rise, fall, before and after the move and other functions of raw materials into the open reel, usually using visual / manual, etc., can also be made Fully automatic "V" plane or roller plane.
3, uncoiler: usually use a single cantilever type, such as the larger weight of raw materials, the need to add the end of the reel in the auxiliary support, open-book base is usually parallel to the direction of movement along the machine, can quickly and accurately complete the raw material, The general use of visual / after the move, can also be made automatically automatic alignment, but need to increase the cost of expensive.
There are also double open head type:
A. Cone-head open-type reel: Cone-head open-top for the cone to the cone within the scope of any diameter of the original material, but easy to cause damage to the inner edge of the raw material, generally applicable to more than 3mm thick raw materials.
B. Ladder-type open-shelf: the way the open head only applies to multi-standard internal diameter of raw materials, generally divided into 2 to 4, but the operation is relatively no single-head cantilever intuitive and convenient, its front and rear movement is usually driven by the cylinder.
4, pinch, leveling and plate shear: folder to send the wheel is usually used hydraulic, pneumatic and electric lifting device, leveling machine generally use electric lift and worm gear structure to ensure the stability of the positioning of the lift, the head shear Usually using hydraulic shear bed to ensure that the raw material into the disc cut the end of the flat. The drive is generally driven by stepless speed motor to ensure that the machine speed and smooth synchronization.
5, living sets of pit: also known as raw material storage buffer pits, usually 2 to 4 meters in depth, the length of 3 to 4 meters, as the raw material in the chucking and shearing machine speed matching buffer device, usually using hydraulic electric lift Platform, the raw materials into the folder and the lateral guide device, the transition board generally use roller and anti-scratch materials as raw materials to contact the transition surface.
6, side guide and clamping device: side guide is as a raw material in the fast forward when the lateral positioning device, usually using vertical roller or vertical plate structure, to ensure that the raw materials in the longitudinal positioning when the slitting, Edge caused by the finished product shear width is poor; clamping device is generally used on the roller, to ensure that the raw material before cutting the flatness.
7, disc scissors: disc scissors, also known as slitting machine, the production of the core of the machine device, through the blade and spacer sets of different combinations to achieve the width of different finished products. The accuracy of the sub-axis of the shaft is very high. Its longitudinal beating, lateral deflection and its mechanical strength have determined the accuracy of sub-finished products. Its accessories round blade, blade spacer and other precision requirements also determine the accuracy of the finished product and row knife time, a direct impact on processing output. The return of the material generally there are two kinds of apron material and pressure plate back to the two, blade and blade spacer sets of nut positioning and more expensive hydraulic shaft lock and so on.
8, the transition platform: the transition platform is to cut the finished product transition to the finished product sets of buffer pits within the device, requiring its close part with the disc can be set off to facilitate the blade set and finished product quality and other functions, in the fixed part of the The tailings press plate prevents the finished product from falling into the darts after the cut.
9, waste side coiler: waste side coiler using a disc-type collection device, the material cut after the waste side of the waste into a bundle, in order to facilitate the waste silk storage and transportation, generally auxiliary screw-type device Or cam link type guide device, which drives the use of variable speed and tension control motor drive, supplemented by emergency stop brake brake, manual unloading and automatic discharge in two ways.
10, finished buffer pits: length of about 3 to 4 meters, depending on the depth of the material thickness, the number of points and raw material diameter and other parameters of the usual depth of about 4 to 7 meters. In the sub-cut a number of thin sheet material, due to the thickness of the original material and the tension of the production station tension uneven factors such as the length of the finished product is not the same phenomenon, live sets of pits from the speed buffer and the amount of storage and other functions.
11, before the separation device: the former separation device is finished into the tension before the production station to give a pre-separation separation, so that the finished product with tension in the extrusion will not appear cross, stacking phenomenon, generally by the two separate positioning and anti- Pressure roller composition, the front section can be used to lift the separation of the shaft, to prevent the pressure plate due to pressure caused by the plastic wheel deformation, separation of the use of movable guide rails can be flexible and easy to pull out the separation axis to facilitate the segregation row.
12, tension production station: tension production station is divided into the traditional plate tension station, the more advanced belt tension station and roller tension station, usually using adjustable hydraulic pressure down to achieve the function of tension, belt and roller A sliding frictional resistance is applied to generate tension.
A. The traditional tension station due to the tension of the beginning of the pad and the relative sliding of the strip may cause the surface easy to scratch the plate scratches, scratches and other phenomena, the resulting tension is almost all the surface is not easy to hurt the thickness of the material or non-bright mirror panel collection.
B. Belt tension station is generated by the difference between the sliding resistance between the belt and the inner tension roller, and is suitable for the protection of the surface of the bright mirror panel. Due to the belt gap and other reasons may be on the individual thickness and narrowband caused by material damage.
C. The roller tension station is suitable for the tension of the sheet below 0.5, and its working principle is to produce tension by the resistance of the roller or the speed difference between the roll and the belt, which may cause the roller surface to damage and can not guarantee its use performance.
Conventional tension generation station due to uniform tension, tension adjustment is simple, simple structure, easy maintenance and other factors, and easily lead to the finished product of the scratches can be resolved through the surface film, and affordable, so favored by the majority of users.
13, pinch and shearing machine: pinch machine for the finished product into the winder when the power supply device or in the shear shearing machine on the finished product after the material into the winder of the power supply device, generally used Gas, oil, electricity and other driving methods to complete its proper function, the shear bed is usually used hydraulic shear bed, in the finished product from the cross-cutting function, followed by finished product guide and flattening wheel.
14, winding machine: winding machine, also known as finished product rewinder, is the finished part of the finished product rewinding volume into the volume of the device, the reel can be used to expand the structure to facilitate the smooth exit of the finished product, with a separate device to prevent the finished product With the cross-belt, the belt and the finished side of the winding surface smooth, the use of hydraulic lift, supplemented by counter-valve in the finished product can be increased when the resistance can be increased automatically, push plate device using hydraulic drive, the finished product from the reel Smooth launch. In the collection of heavier finished product volume, supplemented by auxiliary support device. The drive motor is driven by a constant power DC motor to ensure that the winding force is taken while the large coil material is being wound and the tape is not compressed. There are fast brake brakes, to prevent pull with a knife.
15, unloading trolley: the use of hydraulic lift, "V" -type structure design to ensure that the finished product with the stability of the coil, through the hydraulic or electric drive the finished product roll out of the reel and can reach a convenient place to play. In order to prevent the finished product with overturned, generally have anti-roll up the roller jack.
16, electrical control cabinet, console, electric, hydraulic, pneumatic production stations.

Nawcom Mod CD v0.3
By JohnFrom nawcom.com:
Okay, I?ve been so distracted with everything in life that this week I finally decided to work on osx86 related stuff. I took a few days to put together the CD that I have been planning on doing ? one that modifies what the retail DVD installs, hence turning a swap CD + retail DVD into an equivalent to how distros have always been. I also wanted to apply my ideas for autodetection for hardware support.
Let me introduce the nawcom Mod CD. It is exactly what this is. I still have a number of things to fix up in it, as well as I plan on redoing part of it so I will have it do the autodetection patching at the same time as the standard MBR fix is applied to the Distribution file, instead of the autodetection logic being in the package itself (does that make sense? heh). Due to the device id checks being executed in the package itself, it slows the customization (if one needed to do still) down a bit.
I only want some people who know the OS well to test this out and report back with valueable info, no ?it doesn?t work? stuff. I have a few people in the irc.osx86.hu #snowleopard channel testing it already.
As I said, I?m gonna be making some big changes in how this works in the next few days, so it?s your choice if you want to try it out. I?ll also have some pics up with how the customize list looks like.
Changed the boot screen
Used the kernel blacklist code to disable graphics kexts when using the CD. This way there won?t be issues anymore.
Hardware autodetection is now done in rc.cdrom instead of OSInstall.mpkg, so the Install Customize dialog now 1000% faster since theres no conditions to go through for each one.
What else is there to add? I plan on covering the kexts more and add some legitimate ATI video support. There are some issues with a few LAN cards. Also, even though I?ve implemented my little technique for delivering postinstall content to the desktop of the first user at the first time logging in, I have yet to implement the idea for the postinstall notes. As of now I?m only using it for a postinstall package for PS/2 Trackpad support. And of course, there is plenty of problems with a few newer CPUs, so I need to work on that.

BootCD with MBR support
By JohnFrom Nawcom blog:
I found out that meklort a while ago wrote some support kext a while ago which takes advantage of some kern_exec.c code so you can do some initial userspace actions, which IMO is fucking amazing.
He is currently using, for what I've seen, with a CLI app that he runs before launching WindowServer for his NBI project. I took this kext (PostBootMounter.kext + PostBootSymbols.kext) and changed the mount point in it so it takes advantage of /private/etc on the Install DVD instead, which as of now is used to do some on the fly modification of OSInstall and OSInstall.mpkg. As of now I have it so it does some patching for all current versions and hopefully all future versions as well.
Here are the scripts, which are contained in the PostBoot.img file on the Boot CD's Preboot.dmg and gets mounted at /private/etc:
/etc/rc.cdrom (This is where the magic takes place)
/etc/rc.install (This is no different than the vanilla rc.install other than the new location of OSInstall.mpkg)
And that's it, while I work on the new OSInstall.mpkg + new subpackages it will have. If you read what I was talking about in the previous post on how I want to do the install packages – this is what I am going to be doing here. Everything will be autodetected from hardware checks through the I/O Kit Registry, and an informative Post Install document will be placed on the Desktop of the first user that is created for the OS. If anyone has some ideas on other things I should throw in, let me know! Note that I plan on making some of the autodetected options controllable by the customize list that one can bring up when they install the OS, so I won't be taking away all control from the user of what gets installed.
Here's the boot CD to grab – since I don't have the specialized Install pkgs on it, I just have myHack 1.1.4 in the Post-Install folder of the CD for you to run after booting up the installed OS with the CD.
Now, on to the second part of this post. It involves the current kernel that we have collaborated from previous voodoo kernel code to use in 10.6, adding on support for older CPUs, AMD CPUs, as well as even newer Intel CPUs. I named it the legacy kernel. If you've used myHack, you can see Conti called it the chocolate kernel (which i think is a fucking horrible name). I got in contact with AnV as well as a number of other devs and hopefully we will get a group together for xnu work, just like the Voodoo Team in 10.5 with the xnu kernel.
One thing I want to change is the name of the kernel. If you think about it, legacy is a bad word to attach to this. It's not just for older CPUs. And I don't want to call it Voodoo again. IMO the name Voodoo has been attached to a number of other projects. We need a new name for this.
Someone suggested the h4x0r kernel. Come on now. I hope you aren't serious. Heh. I was thinking for a name that represents the purpose of the kernel – to extend support to the unsupported, in general. If your x86 CPU isn't supported, then it will be supported with this kernel. I thought of something like universal xnu, though I still feel unsatisfied with it.
So here I am, asking people to help out with this idea. If you have a really nice name, or any suggestions about different directions that you feel is better, post below.

Warmer weather conditions are finally upon us, and with that, it seems most people are attempting to feel and look their finest whilst benefiting from the outside. Weight loss is unquestionably an enormous part of which, with everybody attempting to improve their exercise as well as improve their diet plan, however remarkably skin care is yet another subject we hear come up all the time. All of us not just want to strut in individuals adorable summer jeans but we want the skin we have to shine whilst we are doing the work. Am I correct? Provided all the lotions as well as topical products that are plentiful to keep your skin from its best, many often overlook the power of nutrition in providing your skin accurate, lasting vigor. Coconut milk powder – Adding nourishment to the skin we have from inside is just as essential as safeguarding this on the outside.
It can be time for you to re-think that skin care program and concentrate on meals, not really formulations. What you eat every day can make a large effect on how you and your pores and skin function. What foods are perfect for which? Have a go through for some simple summer diet plan do's as well as do nots to keep a person excellent throughout the year.
Coconut milk powder – Meals for Younger Pores and skin
Berries are chocked filled with anti-oxidant compounds. Antioxidants allow us to fight off free radical harm which is, regrettably, a predictable consequence of the world we live in. Coconut milk powder, our household products, additional ecological chemical substances and even tension can create free radicals which harm our cells. Anti-oxidants help knock these out and restore correct balance and function.
Cruciferous vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, clothes, bok choy… they are all wonderful with regards to the skin. They are high in vitamins A as well as C, which are important for our skin, and also the phytochemicals within cruciferous might help reduce irritation as well as market oestrogen balance, both which may be an enormous increase to your epidermis.
Crazy Salmon (along with other Omega 3 fatty acids)
Wholesome fats tend to be answer to wholesome cells, and wholesome cells equivalent healthy skin. Crazy fish is a superb source of Omega 3 fatty acids, known for their powerful role in reducing irritation. There are other Omega 3 sources apart from salmon, nevertheless. Additional animal sources consist of mackerel, sardines, tuna, and anchovies. Plant-based sources consist of china seed products, hemp minds, flaxseed, as well as walnuts.
This delicious fresh fruit is full of monounsaturated fatty acids as well as antioxidants which will help keep skin flexible and ward off the results of aging. More reason behind a few guacamoles when the weather gets hotter!
Yet another wonderful fat supply that is helpful for the tissue as well as includes a host associated with skin-protecting anti-oxidants. Additionally, they are high in dietary fiber, which may not appear proportional to your skin, but anything that supports digestive function as well as promotes normal eradication will help detox your skin and the body too.
Avocado essential oil
We're still on the fat kick right here. As you can tell, getting good causes of healthy fat in what you eat is key. A fat-free diet is not the way to wholesome pores and skin. Coconut oil is yet another of these powerhouse fat. It has potent anti-microbial properties to ward off germs all through the body and may assistance the immune system. All this, consequently, promotes healthier skin. Simple uses of avocado oil could be with sautéing, using like a body fat within baking, or even combined in to shakes. Personally, I love to use full-fat avocado whole milk for making china seed dessert to go into a healthy dose.

As increasingly more low-earnings families transfer into neighborhoods that once catered to the center or upper class, one must be looking out for his own private safety and report any legal activity happening in their environment. After these primary needs are met, that's the only time that oldsters can really give attention to their kids's schooling. Broad partnerships to strengthen the connection between higher education and society includes working strategically with these within and outdoors of upper education to realize mutual objectives on behalf of the general public good.
It contains other delicate points like sexual well being, sexual replica, sexuality and others that parents often really feel uncomfortable speaking with their kids. It took at least a few a long time for me to even start to understand the intrinsic symbiosis of the volumes of data I had acquired all through my higher education experience.
To this finish, our juvenile court system with high recidivism rates and antiquated laws, (encouraging the reunification of abused and uncared for kids with dad and mom who're broken mentally, emotionally, and socially), all need more reassessment and renovation.
Add to this parents who not, to an ideal diploma, support teachers. It's the parents' accountability to be sure that their kids are doing their homework and doing it effectively. The first huge profit of higher education is studying in regards to the world round you.

The Problems With Education
With the day by day challenges posed by economic difficulty and different threats, governments in growing nations are working very laborious to ensure that their educational establishments continue to supply a standard of education that can make its residents at part with the educated individuals in additional economically sound countries. The Widespread Agenda is meant to be a "living" document and an open process that guides collective action and learning amongst dedicated companions within and outside of upper education.

Many of the well paying jobs require completed school education within the form of both a Bachelors or a Masters diploma. Younger people high school age or youthful are likely to spend all of their time with individuals who have related backgrounds and interests as they.

A really beautiful time last night premiering Scenes from 10 Walks. Great conversation and questions afterwards as well. Scenes is over 46 minutes long, so I was a bit apprehensive about how the audience would respond, but it was very, very positive. I think the ambience of the church added an extra dimension to the overall audiovisual experience. The super 8 films looked great too!

Like many new mothers, I've "researched" the web many times trying to find out what new stage in Lincoln's life will be like. In those searches you find out things like when babies begin to hold their head up, sit on their own, eat solid foods, crawl, etc.
Sometimes these things can drive a new mom crazy. "Why isn't he sitting up yet, the Internet says he's supposed to be sitting up!" Of course new mothers, including me, all know that every baby is different and every baby grows at their own pace, but these "norms" can drive a new mom kind of bonkers. Basically, the Internet can drive a new mom bonkers. We don't even have to be searching for a question online but just scrolling Facebook I've been guilty in seeing another new mom's baby doing something before Lincoln started doing it and I think to myself, "have I done something wrong?!" Of course I haven't, and usually no new mom is really doing anything wrong, it's hard to put a time frame on when a new baby will do things, but with lovely things like the Internet it's hard not to expect a time frame.
We recently moved Lincoln to his own room, he had been sleeping in his own bed in our room but wasn't sleeping straight through the night yet (which according to the Internet happens around 4-5 months for some babies). It was easier for me to get up and walk a step away to his bed if he would wake up and need some readjusting. He would always fall asleep within a few minutes but I felt like if we had him in his room then I would wake up more if I had to walk down the hall to do that. Plus I was being a new mom and was worried something would happen during the night and I wouldn't be right there to fix it.
Anyways, back to the point I was trying to make here.. I've been "expecting" Lincoln to sleep through the night (from when he goes to bed at 9 until about 7 am) for basically 3 months now because that's what the Internet told me would happen, and that's what I've heard from other mothers. But like I've learned, I need to stop "expecting" things and wait for them to happen on their own. Of course I know that there are LOTS of babies in the world that don't sleep through the night until they are like 5 years old! (I've just been secretly hoping Lincoln wasn't one of those babies.) But, it's fine if he is because he's my baby and whatever is his "norm" is okay with me.

The Comedy of Errors

DMACC Ankeny has started a new tradition of Summer Short Shakespeare. Free for the public, it is an edited version of one of Shakespeare's plays, performed outdoors and running about 75 minutes. For some of the students, it can be their first exposure to the Bard and his works, and it's also a nice bite-sized chunk for patrons unfamiliar with his work. Opening next week, this year's production is The Comedy of Errors.
Brush Up Your Shakespeare
- By gentleguide
- On Sun 13 nov 2016
Face it, Shakespeare is not always the most accessible work. Language and setting are sometimes a struggle, so placing a show in a new and different arena can often create a bridge to understanding. Simpson College is doing exactly that with their production of The Comedy of Errors, taking place this Friday through Monday (November 18-21) in Indianola.

Why anyone would want this brat back always confused me.
I figured that after playing through Clock Tower, I may as well take on the other weird old Japanese game in my collection where you play as Jennifer Connelly. This is 1987's Labyrinth: Maou no Meikyuu ("Maze of the Goblin King") from Tokuma Shoten. As you've probably guessed, it's based on Jim Henson's cult classic children's fantasy film Labyrinth from the previous year.
Labyrinth is the story of a teenage girl named Sarah Williams who makes the perfectly understandable mistake of wishing that her little brother Toby would disappear. Her wish is unexpectedly granted by Jareth the Goblin King, memorably portrayed by the late David Bowie and his rampaging crotch bulge. Jareth tells Sarah that she has thirteen hours to reach the center of his enchanted maze before Toby transforms into a goblin forever. For me, this movie has it all: Catchy musical numbers, the campy, vampy Bowie at his best, and magnificent production design based on the fantasy art of Brian Froud brought to life through stunning puppetry from Henson and company at the height of their powers. Unfortunately, critics and audiences at the time of Labyrinth's release disagreed, and the film only made back half of its budget during its initial theatrical run. At least in the U.S.
An obscure act being "big in Japan" is a cliché in the music world. Tom Waits even did a whole song about it. Well, it turns out that it applies to movies, too, because Labyrinth attracted a rather large following across the Pacific. I'm glad it did, because this Famicom release is not only a fantastic game, it's one of the best film-to-game adaptations of its era.
The gameplay in Labyrinth is difficult to pigeonhole. The closest direct inspiration is probably Atari's arcade classic Gauntlet. Players guide Sarah through thirteen overhead view maze levels searching for pieces of the key needed to free Toby from his cell in the Goblin King's castle, all while enduring attacks by an endless stream of respawning monsters. While getting hit by enemies will lower Sarah's health, it will also slowly deplete on its own. This is because the thirteen hour time limit that Sarah has to rescue Toby also functions as her health and every hit sustained drains away precious seconds from the timer. There are certain items scattered throughout the labyrinth that can restore a bit of lost time, but if the clock runs down, it's an instant game over. There are no extra lives and no continues. At least Sarah can throw rocks to defend herself from the goblin hordes. The enemies reappear as fast as you can defeat them, though, and the clock is always ticking, so it's usually a better idea to just keep moving and avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible as you navigate the mazes.
These are some serious mazes, too. You have areas that wrap around on themselves, ones that scramble your directional controls around so that even basic movement becomes a challenge, teleporters, shifting scenery, one-way stairs, false exits that send you all the way back to the start of the level, and more. Labyrinth isn't quite the hardcore headscratcher that something like Adventures of Lolo or Legacy of the Wizard is, but you'll still need to bring some significant brain power to bear if you hope to make it to the end. This mixture of puzzling level layouts and non-stop frantic action, all under a strict time limit with no second chances, really makes for an intense, memorable gaming experience.
Thankfully, Sarah isn't alone on her quest. The Wiseman provides encouragement and warps you between the game's various stages. He'll also dispense permanent upgrades to Sarah's offense and defense in exchange for the special coins hidden around the labyrinth. The adorable Worm appears in most stages and sells useful items. Finally, there are Sarah's three stalwart companions, Hoggle, Ludo, and Sir Didymus. Picking up hearts and music boxes will allow Sarah to call one of the trio to aid her in fending off the game's many enemies for a time.
As much as I love the core gameplay, the most remarkable thing about Labyrinth to me is what a great job it does representing its cinematic source material. Old school gamers are no strangers to licensed games that happily ignore just about every detail of the property they're supposedly based on. If the games in question turn out good enough, like Sunsoft's 8-bit Batman releases, this doesn't have to be a fatal flaw. It always represents a bit of a missed opportunity, though. Labyrinth gets this right. Every major character from the film serves an important role in the gameplay. The Wiseman and Worm provide advice and useful items, Hoggle, Ludo, and Didymus help out in combat, and even Jareth himself will appear periodically to rapidly drain your all-important timer. This attention to detail even extends to little things like how the hot-blooded Sir Didymus will rush ahead of Sarah, eager to confront the enemy, while the slower and more cautious Hoggle will trail behind her. The various stages are based on locations from the movie, as well. You'll visit the Oubliette, the Hedge Maze, the Bog of Eternal Stench, The Enchanted Forest, and more. Even the ballroom where Sarah and Jareth share a dance is represented here. The music follows suit, with almost every track being an excellent chiptune rendition of a song from the movie. Even if you don't already know these melodies, you'll still probably agree that the soundtrack is great by the system's standards. This is still a Famicom game and various technical and practical limitations prevent it from faithfully re-creating every single scene from the film, but I can't think of another contemporary licensed title that does a better job of capturing what made its inspiration worth adapting in the first place.
Simply put, Labyrinth is one hell of a game and there's nothing else quite like it for the console. It challenges your reasoning and reflexes in equal measure and does it with style. I'd call it a certified lost classic. There is one potential stumbling block for some players, though. You see, this game is tough. Really tough. Even if you have a pretty good idea of what you're doing and where to go, a full playthrough of Labyrinth will likely take you a good two hours or so. If you don't already know the correct path through the game's levels, you have virtually no chance to complete the game on your first run due to the strict time limit. It's going to take multiple attempts before you get it all down. The enemies in this game are also utterly relentless and will attack you from all sides constantly. Even if you're not moving around and scrolling the screen, they just keep pouring in at all times. Compounding this mess, Sarah has a lengthy stun period each time she's hit. If she gets cornered by multiple strong enemies, they can easily lock her down in place and rapidly deplete your precious time. Did I mention you only get one life? Running out of time 90 minutes or more into a session can be pretty heartbreaking, so the best advice I can give is to figure out which enemies in each area are the most dangerous and take advantage of the game's programming to get around them. Just walk away from the enemy until it's off the screen and this will cause it to disappear and hopefully be replaced by a less dangerous foe. This doesn't always work, especially against the faster enemies, but it's usually better than the grisly alternative. Once you learn the levels and become proficient at evading the more powerful monsters, the game does get a lot more manageable. Just be patient and keep at it.
I played this one using the original Famicom cartridge, which did present some challenges. Learning which line in the shop menu corresponds to which item being one of them. It's doable with a little experimentation, but there is a fan translation available online (and on reproduction cartridges) if you'd rather save yourself the slight hassle. As a bonus, you'll get to enjoy the game's dialogue, which I imagine would be very helpful in understanding the plot if you've never seen the film.
If you enjoy puzzles, mazes, high stakes action games in general, or just the classic movie it's based on, you owe it to yourself to check out Labyrinth for the Famicom. It reminds me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? Power of voodoo. Who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of the babe.

A fantastic article by Kimberly Reynolds over at the Social Media Examiner with 16 original ideas to promote your event through social media.
A couple of things are great about the list: first it really encourages you to think about how different social media channels (including instagram) could be used towards that single goal. Second, there's a real emphasis on how to harness visuals, such as using quote overlays, that can really add professionalism to your marketing, as well as generate interest. A must read.
Does your business conduct events? Are you wondering how to use social media to promote those events? Social media is a powerful tool to gain exposure, whether you're hosting a physical conference or an online event.
