The victim of the Aelfleda Terrace landslide last Tuesday has said she is overwhelmed by the support she has received from concerned residents.
In the build up to Christmas, Jude Knight has been forced to come to terms with her home of 26 years being destroyed, after independent engineers condemned five of the 140-year-old terraced former jetworkers cottages.
Additionally, the buildings were declared so dangerous that Ms Knight and the other property owners were only allowed back into her home for half an hour last week to gather any irreplaceable items.
However, after her heartbreaking story was featured in last week's Gazette, we received a large number of calls from other residents who wanted to set up a fund to support Ms Knight through this extremely difficult period.
As a result, Trudie Ward, of Dotty About Vintage on Church Street, and Gazette photographer Ceri Oakes have worked together to establish a collection for Ms Knight.
The fund has grown so popular that other businesses around the town have also asked for collections to be placed in their premises.
Talking about the support, Ms Knight said: "I can't believe it, it's amazing. I'm just so overwhelmed with the kindness people have shown."
Additionally, Jude says she has also received donations of clothes, furniture and offers of accommodation.
"I can't find any other words to use, I really am overwhelmed," said Ms Knight, who is now staying with a friend in Staithes. "I've never lost my faith in human kindness, but this has just reinforced it."
Another piece of good news to emerge this week is that Beauty the cat, who had been missing since the landslide, was spotted by contractors at Aelfleda Terrace.
Beauty is black with just one whisker and although Ms Knight has not been able to see the cat herself yet, she said: "I've been going up every day to try and find her. But the good news is she's around."
The painstakingly slow process of demolishing the buildings by hand has also allowed a large number of personal items to be removed from the properties. This was a huge relief for Ms Knight, who had fled her home with only a single change of clothing on the morning of the landslide. "The demolition men have just been great and have bagged everything up for me. They've just been fantastic," she added.
Progress with the demolition of Aelfleda Terrace has been slow due to the precarious nature of the structures. It was feared any heavy machinery weighing in excess of 10 tonnes could cause further landslides, damaging property below.
A special charity bank account has been established, which should become available in the next few days. Keep checking the Gazette's Facebook page and follow @gazetteinwhitby on Twitter for updates when the bank account becomes active.

15 September 2015: Actis' Garden City switches on largest solar carport system in Africa
Delivered through a collaboration between SolarAfrica and Solarcentury
Africa's largest solar carport was unveiled by Principal Secretary Eng. Joseph K Njoroge today at an opening event at Garden City Mall. The solarelectricity it generates is being used by the retail tenants to power facilities such as the lights and escalators in the Mall.The solar carport is powerful enough to power 550 urban homes[1] in Nairobi every year.
The solar carport was enabled through a partnership between solar advisory and finance platform, SolarAfrica, and technical solar designer and contractor, Solarcentury, who opened its Nairobi office in 2013. In keeping with the Mall's green ambitions, Actis were looking for a clean energy system that could produce clean energy and pay for itself through the energy it produces. By using solar electricity rather than grid energy, the Mall will cut carbon emissions by around 18,750 tonnes over the lifetime of the solar system[2].
Koome Gikunda, Director Actis Kenya commented: "Garden City is a project with lots of firsts in this market, but we are particularly proud of the solar carport. We knew that we wanted a solar component to the project early on but the upfront costs were prohibitive. We're very grateful to SolarAfrica for stepping in, working closely with partners Solarcentury, and for helping us to realise our vision."
Guy Lawrence, Director at Solarcentury in Kenya, commented: "Solar is a mature, reliable energy generation technology that can be deployed quickly and at scale. We are seeing more and more businesses in Kenya looking to invest in solar because of the multiple benefits it affords – notably, it enables organisations to take control of their long term energy spend. A system will produce free solar electricity for at least 25 years, the average lifetime of a system. Garden City's solar hybrid system is the second we have built in Kenya and our Nairobi office is ready to deliver more systems for other forward-thinking projectslike Actis' Garden City."
The system is located on the uppermost storey of the car park at Garden City Mall, part of the Garden City integrated residential, retail park, hotel and office development on Nairobi's Thika Superhighway.The system enables Garden City to capitalise on Kenya's exceptional solar resource, while also providing shaded parking for customers. Once construction of the carport was completed, the solar panels were installed in a couple of weeks, and cost savings were realised as soon as the system was connected to the grid last month.
James Irons, CEO and Founder of SolarAfrica commented: "We created the SolarAfrica platform to unlock solar power solutions for commercial and industrial projects across Africa and Garden City is a great example of how our platform can enable solar systems. We offered Garden City a finance solution that meant they didn't need to pay all of the upfront costs to design, procure and install the system."
The Garden City carport installation will be paid for based on the power it produces and SolarAfrica will operate and maintain the system for 12 years, while providing guarantees covering power and equipment performance.
Mr Irons continued: "By providing this kind of finance solution, as well as a range of technical support services, we can help solar design and installation partners, like Solarcentury, to realise a solar project of this scale. It demonstrates that private sector investment in carbon mitigation projects is financially viable."
The solar carport system has been designed using solar hybrid technology, a highly innovative energy solution and one of only a handful globally. During daylight hours, the solar carportgenerates solar electricity, and should the grid go down, the hybrid technology enables the carport to run in tandem with the diesel generator. When darkness falls, the Mall can switch to either grid energy, or a backup diesel generator if the grid is down. Reducing reliance on the grid and costly diesel enables significant cost savings at a time of high energy prices in Kenya.
About SolarAfrica
The SolarAfrica platform was set up in 2013 to 'unlock' commercial scale projects across Africa by making solar energy a viable and profitable alternative compared to more traditional power sources. By connecting commercial and industrial power users, developers, design and installation firms, and funders under one platform, SolarAfrica is able to break down the high financial and operational barriers to solar energy often faced by commercial projects in Africa, lowering platform user costs.
SolarAfrica is the first and only platform in Africa that is aimed exclusively at commercial and industrial power users and independent developers, providing a one-stop-shop for all of their solar power needs including design, installation, maintenance, insurance and finance plans. It also provides design and installation firms with access to solar financing, as well as a simple tool to create white label proposals, and software that empowers them to close more deals more quickly.
In partnership with investment firm CrossBoundary Energy, the SolarAfrica platform provides financed solar energy solutions (such as 'Pay by Solar', a rent-to-own model, and Power Purchase Agreements) for projects ranging in capacity from 100kWp to 5MW+, including energy storage systems. It allows developers to focus on customer acquisition and sales, providing them the necessary financing and technical support when project leads become real.
In May 2014, SolarAfrica funded the first third-party financed commercial solar system in Kenya, and this year funded Africa's largest carport solar system for Nairobi's flagship Garden City Mall, the largest green shopping mall in East Africa.
With a growing network of over 20 technical installation firms and independent developers across multiple countries, SolarAfrica is hard at work, getting solar working for Africa.

Star Wars creator George Lucas has confirmed that he is pulling his MAD-designed museum from Chicago and plans to move the project to America's West Coast.
The film director said he is ceasing his bid to build the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which will include exhibits from the science fiction movies, on a lakefront car park in the city, after an ongoing lawsuit attempting to block the building.
The injunction has threatened the project since it was filed in November 2014 by an organisation called Friends of the Parks, which argues that the museum is a private development on public land and would spoil the area.
"No one benefits from continuing their seemingly unending litigation to protect a parking lot," Lucas said in a statement.
"The actions initiated by Friends of Parks and their recent attempts to extract concessions from the city have effectively overridden approvals received from numerous democratically elected bodies of government."
Lucas appointed Beijing architecture studio MAD and local firm Studio Gang to work on the design of the museum, which would display his personal art collection.
Plans for the 27,870m2 building were approved by the City Council in October 2015, after MAD scaled down its initial plans. But Friends of the Parks continued with legal proceedings.
Reports earlier this month stated that Friends of the Parks was willing to back the revised plan, but then changed its mind. Regardless, the deadline for negotiations was last week.
"It is unfortunate that the Lucas Museum has made the decision to leave Chicago rather than locate the museum on one of several alternative sites that is not on Chicago's lakefront. That would have been the true win-win," said a joint statement from Friends of the Parks executive director Juanita Irizarry and board chair Lauren Moltz.
"Unfortunately, time has run out, and the moment we've consistently warned about has arrived," said Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel. "Chicago's loss will be another city's gain."
"We tried to find common ground to resolve the lawsuit — the sole barrier preventing the start of the museum's construction.
"But despite our best efforts to negotiate a common solution that would keep this tremendous cultural and economic asset in Chicago, Friends of the Parks chose to instead negotiate with themselves while Lucas negotiated with cities on the West Coast."
Lucas is now searching for sites in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, where mayor Eric Garcetti has already backed the potential move.
"The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art would be perfect for Los Angeles," Garcetti said in a statement. "Tens of millions of people visit our city every year — and LA has unquestioned stature as a world arts capital."

Another highly successful Veterans weekend at Trowbridge. With the excellent weather, and Trowbridge show getting a good deal of publicity it was very well attended.
There were approx. ten re-enactment groups and a few dozen uniformed individuals. With the army in attendance and a challenger 2 for the kids to play on it was one of the biggest shows to date.
There were approx. 10 thousand people over the two days and interest in our group was very high.
We had a couple of French nationals make themselves known including a current serving paratrooper and an Algerian War veteran.
The Veteran was extremely generous and gave us two photo albums of his time in the army - and I have his permission to scan and publish his pictures on this site soon.
The panhard was very popular as with the side doors open it enabled the public to see inside an armoured car. Most of the comments were around how small the interior was for three fully grown men!
A couple of pictures to the right.. you can see how you need a modicum of acrobatic skill to get in and out of it !

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
Hyperconvergence is one of the hottest trends in IT infrastructure. Earlier this year, researchers at Gartner predicted, "The market for hyperconverged integrated systems (HCIS) will grow 79 percent to reach almost $2 billion in 2016, propelling it toward mainstream use in the next five years." They added that the market should grow to $5 billion by 2019.
Supporting that forecast, a survey from 451 Research found that among the 32 percent of enterprises planning a major server and storage refresh this year, 86 percent expected to increase their investment in hyperconverged infrastructure.
Given the growing popularity of hyperconvergence, it should come as no surprise that a large number of vendors offer hyperconverged systems. In its Forrester Wave: Hyperconverged Infrastruture (HCI), Q3, 2016 report, Forrester named three pure-play vendors — Nutanix, Pivot3 and Simplivity — as "leaders" in the market. "Strong performers" included big-name IT vendors like Dell EMC, VMware, HPE, Cisco and Huawei, as well as smaller players like Atlantis Computing, HyperGrid (formerly Gridstore) and Stratoscale. And the report noted, "We expect hyperconverged systems to become ubiquitous, fueling a rush to market by all technology vendors."
However, it also cautioned companies to be careful when purchasing hyperconverged systems because of the current marketing hype surrounding the technology. Just because a vendor labels hardware as hyperconverged, that doesn't mean that the product will really deliver all the benefits that organizations are trying to achieve.
As with any emerging technology, there's some disagreement about the definition of hyperconvergence. Gartner defines it as "a platform offering shared compute and storage resources, based on software-defined storage, software-defined compute, commodity hardware and a unified management interface."
Forrester says that true hyperconverged infrastructure has four key characteristics: integrated compute and storage resources, software-defined storage, automatic discovery and configuration, and minimal management outside the hypervisor console.
Most definitions of hyperconvergence agree on a few key points. First, these are commodity systems that have both compute and storage capabilities. Second, hyperconverged systems include an element of software-defined infrastructure, and third, they simplify management.
This combination of characteristics offers several advantages for organizations.
Vendors that sell hyperconverged systems tout of number of benefits for this style of infrastructure, including the following:
Despite all these benefits, consultants warn that hyperconvergence isn't right for every situation. Customers should be aware that the technology also has some potential drawbacks.
Given these pros and cons for hyperconvergence, the technology makes more sense for some use cases than for others. Hyperconverged infrastructure will likely be a good choice for you if you have one of the following needs:
Virtual desktops— Scale-out workloads like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) are ideal for hyperconverged infrastructure. Hyperconverged systems easily scale out as additional users are added, and the software-defined environment is ideal for this sort of virtualization. Analysts say that hyperconverged infrastructure that includes SSDs with built-in deduplication are often particularly beneficial for VDI.
Remote office/branch office (ROBO) — As edge computing becomes more popular, many organizations are deploying hyperconverged systems in ROBO environments. Remote locations often don't have on-site IT staff, so easy-to-deploy and easy-to-manage systems are highly desirable in these settings.
Hybrid cloud – Many large organizations use public cloud computing services for many of their workloads, but because of concerns about compliance, security or other issues, they also need to host some workloads in private clouds in their data centers. Here again, hyperconvergence's agility, scalability and support for virtualization make it a very good fit.
Ultimately, whether or not hyperconvergence is right for your situation is going to depend on a large number of different factors. However, most experts seem to agree that the technology is worth investigating.

Paul's Top Tips
How to Clean Your Bathroom in 6 Minutes
Published: 27 August 2013 | By Paul Durkin.
We all know how difficult it is to maintain a clean house, particularly if you have to balance a busy work-life with looking after children. But this doesn't need to be an issue as it is possible to clean your bathroom in 6 minutes.
This is a process which MUST be carried out daily; skip a few days and you will notice a build-up of dust and grime which will result in a longer clean-up process.
Right, stop-watches at the ready, let's begin:
1. Tidying Your Bathroom (60 Seconds).
A cluttered bathroom may not be dirty, but it will look messy and make cleaning more difficult than it should be. The first step is to therefore clear away all surfaces, leaving only the essential items on display.
Keep toiletries and brushes in appropriate wicker baskets and any used towels should go in the wash basket.
2. The Surface Clean-Up (90 Seconds).
Next wipe down the surface tops, sink and toilet seat with either anti-bacterial wipes or appropriate cleaning products.
3. Cleaning Your Toilet & Bath/Shower (90 Seconds).
To be truly effective, toilet cleaner needs to be left for one minute without any scrubbing, so begin by putting some around the edge of the toilet and inside the pan.
While this sets, move onto cleaning your bath or shower; this may seem like an ambitious task to complete within the time frame, but as you will now be doing this on a daily basis it is a very achievable target.
Finally, scrub your toilet clean with a toilet brush.
4. Sorting The Finer Details (60 Seconds).
Now all your surfaces are clean, you need to make sure it is ready for use: ensure you have toilet paper ready and all towels are neatly folded.
If you must have toiletries on display, now's your opportunity to position these neatly.
5. Tackle the Floor (60 Seconds).
Cleaning any floor should always be the last stage of the cleaning process, as one of the previous steps may add dust to your floor.
You will only need a few antibacterial wipes to give the floor, and any tight nooks and crannies, a gentle rub to remove any rogue dust particles.
Of course this is a frantic process, so is not one for the faint-hearted; but anyone searching for a speed-cleaning method clearly doesn't have much time to wrestle with.
There will be sceptics who think it's impossible to clean your bathroom in 6 minutes, but the reason this works lies solely in the fact that it is a daily routine. Ensuring no grime accumulates here is, therefore, essential as it avoids the situation of scrubbing unruly services for minutes on end.

2. I have an unhealthy obsession with reality TV. (The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Catfish are my top faves.)
3. I am an ice cream fanatic. Don't tell my mom, but on occasion I have it for breakfast.
4. Peanut butter and bacon freak me out.
5. I remember far too many song lyrics. My specialty is late 90s/early 2000s. But really, I could probably recite you a whole song from just about any genre of music.

Voda has turned to Yoda, as the Jedi Master stars in a video commercial to promote the operator's universal chargers that are being fitted into London's black cabs.
Sadly for Yoda, the chargers' versatility doesn't stretch to lightsabers so Luke Skywalker's mentor is left wanting.
The video is to promote the fact that commuters can top up their mobile phone and tablet's batteries while catching a lift in one of London's black cabs. The charger is fixed into the rear passenger's door and can be used to juice up the iPhone, iPad, Nokia's, Blackberry's and Android devices.
Vodafone used real-life taxi driver and "East End barrow boy" Jason Hinton to chauffeur Yoda around Piccadilly Circus and to his credit he appeared undaunted by the fact he had a short, green, linguistically challenged creature in the back of his cab.
Mind you it's probably not the weirdest thing he's had to endure while ferrying people around.
Have you topped up your phone in the back of a London black cab? Let us know...

Back in the game
Ithaca's No. 1 pitcher Adams bounces back just in time
APPLETON, Wis. -- Ithaca right-hander Jasper Adams pitched with controlled abandon on Day 3 of the 2013 NCAA Division III Baseball Championship at Fox Cities Stadium, because he had to.
The afternoon meeting between his seventh-ranked Bombers and 10th-ranked Kean was win-or-go-home. Losers trudged aboard a bus bound for home, while the winner meets 14th-ranked Southern Maine in Monday's Day 4 action. And, in Adams' case, he helped power Ithaca into the next round.
"Big step [Sunday]," Adams said of the 3-1 victory. "Felt great out there. Kind of a whirlwind -- out there [the] first inning, one, two three -- and just kind of kept going after that."
That's the simplistic version. The reality, aside from the Bombers continuing their DIII title pursuit, is that Adams (7-0) now is whole again.
Twenty months ago, in September of 2011, Dr. Daniel DiChristina of Crouse SportsMedicine in Syracuse, N.Y., reconstructed the ulnar collateral ligament in Adams' right elbow. It's serious surgery -- yes, Tommy John -- with a serous rehabilitation, and it cost the 6-foot-4, 190-pound senior from Amherst, Mass., his 2012 season.
Easing back into shape this year has taken longer than he'd like, but he appears to be peaking at the right time, rediscovering his touch during Ithaca's postseason.
"I think a lot of it is the unknown and caution, sometimes in pitching," Ithaca head coach George Valesente said. "So once he got over that and felt the arm was good and he was ready to roll, he could start to get back to where he was.
"Literally, had he not had [surgery], he would've been our No. 1 guy this year. But it's great to have my No. 3 guy as my possible No. 1 guy."
The Bombers haven't missed Adams unduly. As New York Regional champions, they improved to 40-7 after Sunday's victory against Kean and look to advance much further. But the big guy brings it, which his teammates know. Sophomore right-hander Jimmy Wagner, the current closer, stood in for Adams as a starter during the latter's long recuperation and Adams' resurgence has allowed Wagner to strengthen Ithaca's bullpen.
The two combined to overpower Kean, Adams throttling batters for seven innings and Wagner slamming the door the rest of the way.
"We weren't sure how he was going to be," Wagner said of Adams. "He came back and he was doing all right in the beginning of the year, but his last four or five starts coming in to the regionals and the [NCAA tournament], he's been lights out like you saw [on Sunday]."
"It's really been a long road," Adams said. "It's been a mental hurdle that I've had to get over and my last four or five starts, I've gotten over that and the results have been there. I'm still looking for that feel in my curve ball. That's not quite back yet. But definitely my fastball and my changeup have been my bread and butter lately."
Adams' right elbow began to unravel during his junior year of high school. He was able to rehab a partial ligament tear without surgery, but a summer-league game three years ago reintroduced the old pain.
"It felt kind of like a twang in your elbow and, 'Oh no,'" Adams said. "I threw one more fastball and I just knew something was wrong."
An MRI confirmed it, with doctors telling him surgery was mandatory if he wanted to pitch. Mentally, Adams says he struggled when he returned to competition earlier this season, chasing mechanics while trying to keep the ball down.
"You kind of protect it a little bit and I think that's what my problem was in the beginning of the year," he said. "As opposed to just going out and throwing the ball. Something just clicked one of those days and I got my mechanics."
The low point came on April 16, when four first-inning hits chased Adams from a game against Rochester.
"And I was down on myself, but I realized, 'You gotta keep your head up, you'll come back, you'll get through this,'" he said. "And I went out my next start against St. John Fisher pitched six or seven good innings and my confidence was back."
Adams says he's okay if he doesn't resume power pitching. These days he's honing his changeup, encouraged by Valesente, who calls it the best pitch in baseball. He demonstrated post-game Sunday, mimicking a hitter flailing with off-speed confusion.
"Once you get that down and keep guys guessing and get their timing off -- get them to hit it back here and back here -- that's what it's all about," Adams said.
"Just having that extra arm going seven innings every game, one run, it's unbelievable," Wagner said. "It puts a lot of pressure off the hitters and the rest of the pitchers."

Pashto (also spelled as Pukhto or Pushto) and often known as Afghani, is an Indo-Iranian language spoken natively as the language of the Pashtun people of South Central Asia.
As well as being an official language in Afghanistan, it is also spoken in Iran and Pakistan, as well as the Pashtun diaspora around the world. There are believed to be between 50-60 million native speakers of Pashto.
Pashto was proclaimed the national language of Afghanistan in 1936 by royal decree. The other official language is Dari Persian.
In northern Afghanistan speakers of Pashto are called Pakhtūn, whilst in southern Afghanistan they are known as Pashtūn, and as Pathān or Afghan in Pakistan.

This MSI Computer GS63VR Stealth Pro review will go into good detail about this amazing gaming laptop. If you're looking for a good gaming device, this one right here would be a viable option. Before we tell our verdict on this laptop, it is important that we take a close look at it and point out the good and bad aspects.
With an expensive price tag, you'd expect a super good laptop that is fully capable of handling all of the latest games. Is this MSI laptop capable of handling your MMO's, FPS's and whatever else you choose to play? Let's not waste any more precious time – let's have a look at it.
Click Here to read User Reviews!
When it comes to design, the Stealth Pro is a master. Somehow, and I'm not sure how, MSI managed to take their powerful components and fit it in a 4.2 pound case that measures 14.9 x 9.8 x 0.69-inches. Comparing it with the other gaming laptops on the market, this is one of the slimmest 15-inch gaming laptops out there.
However, the Stealth Pro is more than just a slim chassis, it's a hot little minx. Seriously, take a look at the laptop's black, brush aluminium lid – it'll gleam with anticipation as you run your fingers across it. It's very pretty, so when you first see it, you'll probably want to touch it. The inky metal, however, will reveal your fingerprints. So, instead of touching it and putting your oils all over it, you should just admire it.
Speaking in admiring the laptop, you'll be mesmerized over the red and white backlit dragon emblem that is nesting on the center of the lid and running along the rear vents, you'll find some pretty cool fine red accents.
MSI Computer GS63VR Stealth Pro 4K-021 Specs
The display in the Stealth Pro isn't that bad at all – the 1920 x 1080 pixels matte display will be begging for your attention. The 15.6-inch panel will flash gorgeous vivid colors right before your eyes, especially when it comes to the color red. As I was watching a trailer, my eyes were drawn to the color red.
During The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I noticed someone heading downstream through water that was waist-deep. In the water, there were minuscule ripples. When the water was deep enough, the character dived down, and the hair looked amazing.
The Steal Pro's vividness is truly mesmerizing – this mostly comes from the ability to reproduce around 111 percent of the sRGB color gamut and as you may already know, that is way better than the 90 percent that you would normally find.
The brightness test averaged out at 242 nits – it missed the 264-nit mark, but that is okay. It is still better than most of the gaming laptops out there – look at the Alienware 15, for example, it comes to 222 nits.
In terms of audio, this laptop comes with Nahimic 2 software that offers a variety of presets. For gaming, you have Shooter, Role Play, Racing and Strategy. The multimedia settings include movies and Music. The app has some other cool features that will help you get the upper-cut on your gaming foes. For example, the Sound Tracker is capable of pointing out your enemies' locations based on where the sound is coming from. It also has an Audio Launchpad, which will allow you to map sound effects to your keyboard shortcuts.
Currently, at the time of writing this review, the Stealth Pro is one of the slimmest gaming notebooks on the market that is VR-capable. This is due to its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU (a total of 6GB of VRAM). During the SteamVR Performance test, the laptop hit 7.4.
The Nvidia Pascal also gave a pretty good boost to traditional games, such as Witcher 3. Being surrounded by wild dogs, rolling away from the beasts, switching between fire spells and sword spells, you can still maintain an average 42 fps with the settings on ultra. Knocking the settings down a notch, to high will increase the fps to a good solid 56.
Under the belt, you'll find a 2.6-GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor with a total of 16GB of RAM – this is pretty good. Apart from gaming, the performance in this gaming laptop is nothing short of excellent and that's a big plus.
MSI Computer GS63VR Stealth Pro 4K-021 Review: Verdict
This gaming laptop ticks all the check boxes a gamer could have in this budget. If you're looking for a laptop that is on par with other gaming laptops in its class, this Stealth Pro is a good choice.

Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak discussed his love of technology, and especially computers, at a Town Hall hosted by USC's Academic Culture Assembly on Thursday. "A computer sitting there unused was a crime to me," Wozniak said. Wozniak used any computer he could get his hands on — for anything from programming to pranks.
If the Apple II was made of flesh, blood, and bone, it would probably be out shopping a sports car today, one of the many rituals that seem to manifest when you reach middle age. The Apple II, you see, was introduced to the world 35 years ago at the West Coast Computer Faire. The 8-bit machine would go on sale to the general public less than two months later on June 5, 1977.
Steve Jobs Avenue has officially been confirmed in Brazil by Jundiai's city council. The avenue was announced on 6 October 2011, the day after Jobs died, but Brazillian blog MacMagazine reports that the council recently made the name official.
On Wednesday Woz's View of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in New Movie was a top story. Here is the recap: (TMZ) Steve Wozniak is officially endorsing Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs in an upcoming movie about the Apple co-founder ... telling TMZ, "I'm glad that he's onboard."
Maybe Woz was a fan of "That 70's Show"? Or is it just the fact that he's one of the nicest guys in Silicon Valley who's never disparaged another carbon-based life form? It will be interesting to see whether Kutcher can truly pull off the turtleneck and jeans. And more importantly, who will play Woz?
No one likes a thief who gets away with stolen items and especially not 8 year old Landon Crabtree. After a burglar broke into his family's house to get away with the family's iPad and a few other items, the family got insurance money for the lost goods. But Landon wasn't going to stand for someone else having his iPad and used Apple's free Find my iPhone to recover the iPad. However, that's not the only thing police found.
If it's the elite of the world that influence the behavior of the masses, better book your hotel in China this year before rooms fill up. In the same week that the web and Twitter worlds have been following visits to China by Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, it was announced today that yet another U.S. tech luminary will be coming to the Middle Kingdom: Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple with Steve Jobs. Rather than spending all of his time with geeks, Wozniak will be in Shanghai to press the flesh with (yikes!) members of the International Council of Shopping Centers at the Retail Real Estate World Summit, a "multinational forum to address and shape the critical role and socio-economic impact of the worldwide property market." Let's hope Wozniak also finds time to inspire some Chinese geeks. He has plenty of time to work on it: The conference will be held September 12-14.
A Cool song about Steve Jobs:
"When I heard that Steve Jobs had passed away, I felt so sad that we had lost such a dynamic, brilliant, creative mind. And then my thoughts went to a song that I had originally released in 2008 called Rapplistory. I feel that this song truly plays homage to Steve Jobs and all that he accomplished. There may never be anyone like him again. We will miss you Steve." - Daphne Kalfon
The LGHS "Theater Improvement Project," (aka "TIP") was started by former LGHS Performing Arts Director, Diana Pleasant in order to successfully renovate the theater to provide the partons of Los Gatos and visitors the world over a world class theater.

Jonathan Portes, Director of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research and ex-chief economist at the Cabinet Office has a masterly piece 'The coalition's confidence trick' in this week's New Statesman. I'm not providing a link because as many people as possible should buy the mag and support good journalism; I can assure you it will be money well spent. But here's a flavour...
Portes systematically rebuts the coalition's case on the timing of deficit reduction. For me, this is the key paragraph:
"...with regard to confidence and the threat of higher interest rates, and despite a very large deficit, interest rates were low and stable at the time of the 2010 election; government borrowing was as cheap as it has been for decades. There was no market panic. In the run-up to the election, senior economists in government, including me, were worried that an inconclusive result would lead to market jitters or worse. But we were wrong; even during the fraught negotiations to form the coalition, both gilt yields and the pound were remarkably stable".
The STUC has stressed this point time and time again over the past year but still the coalition sticks to the 'UK is the next Greece' scenario. Sure others have taken them on; Martin Wolf of the FT has been consistent on this and a number of international voices (Krugman, Stiglitz etc) have weighed in. But this is first piece I've seen which comprehensively links last year's big cons to Gideon's more recent claims that falling gilt yields through the summer prove markets regard the UK as a 'safe haven' due to the coalition's fiscal policy.
Portes is appropriately dismissive of this nonsense; explaining that as gilt yields fall, so do stocks and sterling - 'Low long-term interest rates reflect economic weakness and a lack of market confidence in the prospects of the Uk economy'. (He even chucks in a lovely graph of yields on UK ten-year gilts since '94 which I intend pinching with my lovely new snipping tool).
Noting that Gideon refers to his Nobel Prize winning critics as being on the 'outer fringe of the international debate', Portes concludes with the observation that 'this argument ['slower pace of consolidation combined with policies to support growth'] is neither radical nor old-fashioned Keynsianism, nor is it in anyway unorthodox. It is just standard, common-sense macroeconomics; or, just more simply, common sense'.
Yep, its Gideon who inhabits the lunatic fringe.

|Cold Water
|Wild Rainbow
When we arrived at the stream Friday morning the temperature, at least according to my truck, was a cool 68 degrees. This was a welcome relief from the sweltering heat at home, and the first few steps into the water were just a little bit of a shock to the system. We split up and began fishing, working our way upstream and planning to check in with each other after an hour or two to see how things were going.
It wasn't long until I got a strike from a pretty little wild rainbow trout, and as I fished my way upstream I missed a several more strikes. It was a little bit of a puzzle, as the trout seemed interested in my fly, but they would almost seem to come up and bump it instead of eating it. Most of the time our wild trout in NC don't seem to be very particular about flies as long as the presentation is good, but these fish were acting like there was something they didn't like. I don't know if this was due to fishing pressure, or some other factor. I do know that this stream is fairly popular, and we did see a few other fishermen during our time there.
|Beefsteak Fungus? (Best guess from Google)
|Caught Several of These
|Its Eyes Were Bigger Than Its Stomach
Overall, even though the fishing wasn't exactly fast and furious, it was another great day spent in the mountains. The relief from the heat, even though it was only temporary, was worth the entire trip. I didn't manage to catch any big trout this time, but I did catch a nice handful of pretty wild rainbows. This, along with wading a cold stream and seeing the blooming rhododendron made for time well spent. When we got in the truck to leave around 2:00 pm, the temperature was 81 degrees. By the time we made our way down out of the mountains, the truck thermometer was up to 95 degrees. It was a tough adjustment, but it just proved that the mountains are the place to be in the summer. Hopefully it won't be long and I'll be back, chasing wild trout and trying to run from the heat. Until then, I'm thankful that at least somebody had the brains to invent air conditioning!

text: This basic gluten-free bread recipe is foolproof and gives you a healthier, better tasting and better textured gluten-free bread. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Grease and line the base of a 1kg (2lb) non-stick loaf tin. In a bowl combine together the warm water, sugar and dried yeast. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Sieve the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and combine together. Once the water and yeast mixture has frothed up a little, add in the lemon juice, olive oil and eggs and whisk to combine. Pour almost all of the mixture into the flour and thoroughly combine, mixing until smooth. Add in the remaining liquid, little by little, until the mixture is wet and sticky, but holds its shape. Using a spatula, scrape the mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon dipped in water. Cut two diagonal slits across the top of the dough. Set aside for 15 minutes in a warm place to rise. Then place in the centre of the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until all sides are golden brown with a good crust. If the bread seems a little underdone, carefully remove it from the tin and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes. When tapped, the loaf should sound hollow. If it looks like it is going to burn on the outside, cover with foil and continue to bake until done. Remove from the oven or tin and leave to cool on a wire rack. Don't attempt to slice the bread while still warm as is it will crumble. Freezing and defrosting guidelines Bake according to the recipe. Allow to cool completely. Wrap well in clingfilm and tin foil (to prevent freezer burn) and freeze for up to 3 months. Loosen the tin foil and clingfilm but leave to defrost in packaging at room temperature for several hours before serving. Gluten-free cooking tip Xantham gum aids in gluten-free baking making items less crumbly and making gluten-free pastry easier to roll and handle. It's available in specialist health food stores and in some supermarkets. See more Gluten-free recipes

A government-backed project will recommend that more seniors take reverse mortgages to pay for services that allow them to live safely in their homes longer.
The project, spearheaded by the National Council on Aging, originally studied the viability of seniors taking reverse loans to pay for long-term-care insurance, according to Barbara Stucki, a consultant in Bend, Ore., who managed the project. It was funded by the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which supports health policy research.

UPDATE 4:10 p.m.
Caltrans officials estimated Thursday that Highway 1 will be closed for at least a month in the northern part of Big Sur, because that's the quickest that a temporary repair could be completed, according to emergency crews. All day, they've been assessing the damage caused when part of the steep, scenic highway's southbound lane slid into the ocean.
Rain predicted to begin Friday through next week could add more damage to the area and more time to the estimated reopening.
Businesses and Hearst Castle remain open. The highway is completely closed, even to emergency vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, according to Caltrans spokeswoman Suzana Cruz.
The scenic highway is the connector between Cambria and Carmel/Monterey.
UPDATE 12:09 p.m.
Highway 1 near the north end of Big Sur will be closed indefinitely because at least 40 feet of the scenic highway's southbound lane has given way there, Caltrans announced this morning.
Area businesses remain open, as does Hearst Castle. Alternate routes include highways 101, 68 and 46.
Engineers are assessing the "severe damage" so they can determine how to fix the road and estimate how long repairs will take.
The damage followed several days of heavy rain, and more of the same is in the forecast for next week, which could further hamper attempts to reopen the link between Cambria and Carmel. The washout is about 14 miles north of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and 13 miles south of Carmel.
No injuries were reported.
— Kathe Tanner
Original story: Forty feet of Highway 1 has given way on the north end of Big Sur, forcing the closure of the road for at least a few days, the CHP reported Wednesday evening.
The highway slid down a hillside shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday between Bixby Bridge and Palo Colorado in an area called Hurricane Point following several days of heavy rain.
Caltrans closed several miles of the road south of Garrapata State Park and posted signs warning motorists about the washout.
No injuries were reported.
Motorists who need to get from Carmel to Cambria are advised to use Highway 101.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Wild parties and sexy women is Trey Songz' biggest video fetish and he certainly keeps things up in the visuals for his latest single 'About You.'
This accounts for 90% of his videos these days. You see one Trigga video and you've seen them all, pretty much.
The cut serves as the latest release off his album 'Trigga Reloaded', which dropped last month.

Pricing FAQ
- How does server app pricing work?
Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. Licenses are perpetual and the purchase price include 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your host product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your host product. The app tier should match the licensed user tier of the Atlassian host product. For example, if you have a Confluence Server license for 25 users, you should purchase the 25-user tier for apps. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your host product license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?
For server apps, purchase and renewal is half-price if you have an academic license for your Atlassian host product. Server apps are always free for community and open-source licenses.
For more details about qualifying for special licenses, see here.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian host product, and you're all set.
- How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:
- Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.

The New Paper, Singapore, 3 August 1998
Sex, lies ... and video scam
The New Paper, Singapore, 6 August 1998
Same time, same place, same victim. But ...
Different endingBy Jason Tan
HE got away for outraging a woman's modesty in a HDB lift.
But he went back to same place, at the same time, and tried to rob the same victim - a year later.
Yesterday, Kanna Superamaniam, 26, was sentenced to three years jail and 12 strokes of the cane for the two charges.
He was jailed a further 16 months for a separate case of house-breaking and theft and another three offences of failing to report for urine tests.
He pleaded guilty to all the six charges.
The court heard that sometime in the middle of last year, the 31-year-old victim was leaving her Toa Payoh Lorong 6 home to meet a friend at about 2.30 am when Kanna went into the same lift as her.
As soon as the lift door closed, he took off his pants and started to masturbate in front of her.
The victim was stunned but did not do anything because she feared for her safety.
When the lift reached the ground floor, Kanna quickly ran off.
But on May 4 this year, he went back to the same block of flats at about the same time as the first offence.
This time, the victim was returning home from work when she noticed Kanna standing at the 12th floor staircase.
She ignored him, but he followed her home. When she asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted to overtake her. So she stepped back to let him pass.
But Kanna suddenly pulled out a knife with a 5cm blade from his pocket and threatened the victim.
In the ensuing struggle, he used his hand to strangle the victim's neck and tried to pull away a chain on the neck.
He also grabbed the victim from behind, tried to open her house door and grabbed her handbag.
But the woman screamed for help and resisted fiercely, forcing Kanna's knife to drop onto the floor. He then fled empty-handed.
He was arrested about two weeks later.

Teen who killed rival gang member jailedA SECRET society member who killed a member of a rival gang outside the Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station last October was jailed for seven years and ordered to be caned nine strokes.
Allan Tan Kei Loon, 18, a part-time waiter, had faced the death sentence as he had been charged at first with murdering Mr Png Hock Seng, also 18, who was a full-time national serviceman then.
Tan pleaded guilty on Friday to a reduced charge of causing Mr Png's death on Oct 25.
Tan belonged to the Sio Koon Tong secret society group 18, which operated at Ngee Ann City in Orchard Road. The dead man was a Sio Gi Ho member.
Four of Tan's six accomplices, all Sio Koon Tong members, have been tried for rioting and each sentenced to between 18 and 24 months' jail and five strokes of the cane.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Foo Cheong Ming said that when Mr Png and two friends got out of a taxi at the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station that day, Benedict Kho Lian Teck, 17; Ong Kian Heng and Martin Koh Boon Wei, both 18, asked which gang they belonged to.
The court heard that earlier on, at Bugis Junction, Kho and his friends had been attacked by a group claiming to be from the Sio Gi Ho.
When Mr Png said he was from Sio Gi Ho, the three set upon him, while a fourth member stood guard and warned his friends not to interfere. Tan and two others, whose cases are pending, joined in.
When Mr Png knelt and covered his head to ward off the blows, Tan stabbed him in the back.
The DPP urged the court to impose the maximum life imprisonment and 24 cane strokes, saying the violence was wanton and senseless and the attack, brutal, savage and unjustified.
Defence counsel Fong Weng Khai said in mitigation that his client lost his father to cancer three years ago and could not concentrate on his studies after that. Tan could have been jailed for life or for up to 10 years, and fined or caned.

Pager Horror
Boy shivers every time his free pager goes off
Straits Times, Singapore, 21 August 1998
Many committed while out on bail
Youth gets 7½ years' jail for string of crimesBy Chi Chiew Sum
A 17-YEAR-OLD youth was sentenced yesterday to 7½ years' jail and the maximum 24 strokes of the cane for armed robbery, making and using counterfeit money, housebreaking, and robbery with hurt.
District Judge F.G. Remedios said Chin Chee Kin, although relatively young, deserved to be treated and sentenced as an adult because of the seriousness of his offences. Chin, unemployed, had also committed many of his crimes while out on bail on three charges of armed robbery.
Yesterday, the court heard that he committed armed robbery three times in one day at the Orchard MRT station on March 16 this year. Then, while he was out on bail on these charges, he robbed a computer shop owner in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 on April 14. He and his three accomplices attacked Mr Teo Hock Tiong and robbed him of about $1,500 in cash.
On April 22, he broke into a hairdressing salon with another accomplice and stole items such as shampoo and hairspray worth about $300.
On May 7, together with two accomplices, Chin also made three counterfeit $50 notes by using a computer, printer and scanner. The next day, he used one of the notes to buy packets of cigarettes and cans of soft drinks amounting to about $30.
As a result of these offences committed by him while on bail, the judge ruled that Chin needed to be dealt with differently from young people who commit crimes out of mischief. The judge also took into consideration Chin's previous convictions. He had been on probation before for theft and he was last sent to a boys' home for two years.
He was sentenced to 30 months for each of the three armed robbery charges, 30 months for the housebreaking and theft charge, five years for the charge of robbery with hurt and 30 months each for making and using counterfeit notes.
He has to serve a total prison sentence of 90 months as some of his jail terms are consecutive.

QARTOD is a continuing multi-agency effort formed to address the quality assurance and quality control issues of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) community. The first workshop was held at the NOAA NDBC office in Bay St. Louis, MS in the winter of 2003. Over 80 participants attended with the primary task to develop minimum standards for calibration, QA/QC methods and metadata. The workshop resulted in a report which summarized the recommendations on these issues and on future workshops. QARTOD II (second workshop) was held February 28-March 2, 2005 in Norfolk, VA, and focused on QA/QC issues in HF radar measurements and wave and current measurements' unique calibration and metadata requirements. QARTOD III was held on November 2-4, 2005 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA. It continued the work on waves and current measurements, as well as commencing work on CTD measurements and HF Radar. QARTOD IV was held at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, June 21 - 23, 2006. Related materials, including the QARTOD IV final report, are posted on the QARTOD website: http://qartod.org.
The QARTOD IV workshop addressed the challenges related to the collection, distribution and description of real-time ocean data. One of the primary challenges facing the oceanographic community will be the fast and accurate assessment of the quality of the data streaming from the IOOS partner systems. Operational data aggregation and assembly from distributed data sources will be essential to the ability to adequately describe and predict the physical, chemical and biological state of the coastal ocean. These activities demand a trustworthy and consistent quality description for every observation distributed as part of IOOS. The intent of QARTOD IV was to report on the recommended quality descriptions for parameters such as waves and currents and to develop guides to best practices to assure data quality.
The workshop focused participants into the following areas of interest: waves, in situ currents, CTD measurements and dissolved oxygen. The waves and currents groups reported on results from previous workshops on testing data quality and defining flags for real-time release of data. Efforts began at QARTOD IV to define best practices and shared resources for promoting quality assurance. The CTD group was reorganized and the dissolved oxygen group was newly formed. Metadata experts from the Oceans.US/DMAC guided each group towards the development of minimum standards in metadata within their particular area of focus.
A host of guest speakers presented other existing efforts promoting the development of national and international standards for QA/QC in real-time oceanographic data.
The workshop was funded by NOAA with support from Oceans.US and the WHOI CICOR office. Facilitators from NOAA NOS Special Projects Office provided support in organizing workshop materials and reporting the proceedings within each break out group.
With support from a pending RCOOS award (2008-2010) from the NOAA Coastal Services Center administered through the CICOR office, the results of the QARTOD IV workshop will be integrated into the developing standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Observations Service (SOS) framework. The QA/QC standards and services will be demonstrated by integration with the OOSTETHYS project (www.oostethys.org). The tools, vocabularies and guides will be made publicly available through the Marine Metadata Initiative web site (www.marinemetadata.org).

Pregnancy photography is primarily about taking a look at a special moment in a women's life, the body change that occurs, and the future of children and motherhood that it indicates. This is actually more difficult than it sounds in that it requires drawing out the beautiful elements of the pregnant subject as well as ignoring the less photogenic aspects of pregnancy. Here are a few key tips for pregnancy photography that can help you when trying to capture these brief and wonderful moments in someone's life.
- slide 2 of 5
Don't Hide It
The primary thing to remember about pregnancy photography is to really highlight the area of the stomach that illustrates the pregnancy in detail. Often times, photographers like to just photograph the women and avoid highlighting the fact that they are pregnant. If you really want to master pregnancy photography you want to really dial into the body differences of the pregnant subject, especially focusing in on their enlarged stomach area. This may even mean positioning the camera in a way so that the stomach is one of the primary aspects of the photo, but not in a way that seems unnatural or overpowering against the primary areas of the women like her face. Remember, great pregnancy photography shows that the pregnant period is a natural and attractive stage in a woman's life.
- slide 3 of 5
Soft Lighting
Soft lighting is the standard way of approaching pregnancy photography since it is the most flattering way of showing the skin. Pregnancy can cause issues with the skin of the mother, both in terms of blemishes and growth areas with things like stretch marks. These do not always show up as well on camera, so it may be best to use a soft lighting over the entire subject instead of a high contrast one. Try using light diffusion, even something like a soft bank so that there will be a certain amount of even bounce here. You can use an extra key and fill on the face if needed, but the stomach area should remain a source of soft lighting. If you really want to highlight how large the stomach is, and if you are using black and white, it is acceptable to use a higher contrast pattern. You will also want to add a little bit of glow if you are doing photo editing in a program like Adobe Photoshop.
- slide 4 of 5
Pregnancy Portraits
Pregnancy portraits are often the best option for pregnancy photography because movement based photography may highlight the difficulties in mobility that often accompanies pregnancy. What you get with pregnancy portraits it the ability to spend time lighting and framing the image according to the specifics of this woman's body and pregnancy, which is different from person to person. Here you will be able to highlight them as a person rather than trying to capture them in a specific action. It will also give you the time to highlight the pregnancy in an attractive way instead of just capturing it in the moment. You will also have the ability to alter the shutter speed and ISO to get very high quality images with even moderate amounts of light.

As e-mail has become an integral part in our daily life, more and more webmasters have realized its importance for the website marketing and management. There are a lot of related tools available online helping you manage the mailing lists easily, among which phpList is the most user-friendly and widely-used one. In the following, we'd like to introduce it in a comprehensive way and tell you how to install it on your website.
How about phpList
To put it simply, phpList can be regarded as an advanced newsletter manager that is developed for the spread of information, such as newsletters, publicity lists, notification and advertising mails for subscribers. It is a PHP tool that makes use of MySQL database to store the data and information.
- This software is distributed under GPL license, so people can download, install, and use it for free.
- phpList is powerful enough to manage mailing lists with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. The management includes the subscription registration, personal data exchange, and cancellation request, etc.
- Users are allowed to determine the registration requirements at any time, such as the country of residence, language, age, gender, profession, and many more.
- The public interface has been translated into 35 languages, eliminating the possibility of the language barrier significantly.
- The information can be sent constantly from your web server, even if you shut down your computer. In addition, there will be no duplicate or missing messages.
Install phpList Automatically
If you are managing a website using the hosting service, then you are very likely to find the 1-click script installer in any rich-featured hosting package, with which you can install phpList easily and effortlessly. Here, we set Softaculous – a popular script library and installer offered by almost all the reliable web hosts like InMotion Hosting – as an example.
Firstly, you need to login to your cPanel and scroll down to find the Softaculous icon that is located under the Software/Service section. After clicking it, you can be directed to the app library of Softaculous. In the left hand column, there is a Mails section available. You can click it and find phpList icon in the drop-down menu.
Then, you need to hit on the Install phpList Now button which is at the top-right location of the whole page. After that, you can see a software setup page helping you configure how to have this tool installed on your website.
- Choose Protocol – You'd better leave it at the default of http://. If you utilize a SSL certificate on the website, then you can choose the https// option.
- Choose Domain – Enter the domain name to install this software.
- In directory – Enter the directory that you'd like to install phpList.
- Database Name – Type the name of the database that phpList will create.
In addition to these basic settings, you can also configure some advanced options as you want, such as Cron Job, site name, site description, table prefix, admin username, admin password, and admin e-mail.
After finishing all of the information required, you can click the Install button. The whole installation process runs for a few minutes. Once you have gotten the congratulation message, then it means you have phpList installed successfully, and can use it at any time.
Install phpList Manually
In addition to leveraging the power of script installer, you can also install phpList on your own. Note that this requires a certain level of advanced knowledge, so you'd better choose the first method if you are new to this field.
In the very beginning, you need to download this tool from phplist.com. Click on the ZIP link like the image showed in below. Note that 3.0.5 is the latest version for phpList that has been released since October 1st, 2013.
In the Source Forge, you can wait a few minutes for the download count-down, or simply click on the direct link or mirror link to begin the download. Then, you need to extract the downloaded file and locate it to a local folder of your computer. Generally, this file names as phplist-3.0.5.zip.
The next step is to create a MySQL data to store all the phpList settings. You can do this within your cPanel. After logging in, you need to click on MySQL Database Wizard under the Databases section. Then, type a name for this newly created database, let's say phplist in this case.
In the next step, you are required to create the database user with the username and password. Note that you can never use some common words due to the security concern. Now, you can click the Create User button. Remember to mark the box before ALL PRIVILEGES.
You can now upload the phpList files to your web server using your favorite FTP client. Generally, you'd better locate this file into the /public_html/ directory on the server.
The final step is to enter the database credentials in the config.php file. You can find this file from cPanel > Files > File Manger, and enter the following code into the script. Don't forget to click the Save Changes button on the left-top of the page.

Does a mixture of Clip Show and new footage count, like in the Police Camera Action examples?
Removed the entry below. Blink may be lite on actual footage of The Doctor, but with multiple sets and multiple guest actors, it's certainly as far removed from the definition of a Bottle Episode.
- "Blink": Almost entirely FX-free and the Doctor and Martha are mostly absent.
Removed the following example from Community episode Paradigms of Human Memory. It's a Clip Show, and since majority of the Flashbacks are actually new material, it barely applies to this trope at all. Even the description seems to point as to the episode being a Clip Show parody than a Bottle Episode parody.
- Stunningly inverted (and quite possibly the only example to date) in the season two episode ''Paradigms of Human Memory'' . Most Clip Shows are employed so as to save production money and time, with very little money spent on taping and writing new material, the Clip Show is usually a type of Bottle Episode. This episode spoofs the very nature of a Clip Show by having the acutual clips be a bunch of Noodle Incidents to a variety of locations and situations never actually seen in the series. Financially, this episode was expensive, even to the point that DanHarmon himself paid for the Sara Bareilles song to be used in the Shipping Goggles portion of the episode. Interestingly the episodes before and after this one are true Bottle Episodes because of the expensiveness of this episode as well as the season finale.
Made a mistake, ignore this.Edited by Edited by hayleychaotix
I have my issues with Red Dwarf's seventh and eighth seasons, so I'm probably a bit biased, but do fans really appreciate season 7's "Duct Soup" that much?Edited by Edited by 18.104.22.168 Hide/Show Replies
As a new edit has described it as "topping worst episode polls", I'd say no.

We are trying to put an above ground pool in but we live on a significant slope. We are planning to dig down as much as possible (we are also on bedrock) so we can give the pool an "in ground" look with decking all around. We are concerned about drainage issues though. Do we need to dig a drainage ditch extending from the lowest side of the pool?
Any and all suggestions are welcomed.
