My husband and I went to Lugano, Switzerland for our first wedding anniversary. It was a simple trip. We just joined an evening cruise, went to the Swiss Miniature Park, and enjoyed the Lugano Lake. The highlight of our celebration was bringing home the best Swiss souvenir we can think of: a watch.
Both of us James Bond enthusiasts, and me a perpetual Omega fan; we brought home a limited edition of the Seamaster Diver worn by 007 in every adventure since the Goldeneye. We bought a pair as an anniversary (and birthday and Christmas) gift for ourselves.
The Jame Bond 007 50th Anniversary Collector's Piece has been created in two sizes, 41 mm and 36.25 mm. The cases of the watches are made of stainless steel and feature ceramic bezel rings. The number "50" is in red to note the 50th anniversary being celebrated. The lacquered black dial featured a 007 monogram. Some may not like the monogram design, but for me it does shoot off a bomb.
The 41 mm version has 11 applied indexes while the 36.25 mm watch has ten with a diamond index at the 7 o'clock position to honor the 007 agent. Its screw-in back case is stamped with a gun-barrel design. There is a "bullet" decoration fixed on the rotor that can be viewed through a central sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating inside. Really cool.
While some of the advanced features will appeal particularly to divers, the James Bond 007 50th Anniversary Collector's Piece will prove irresistible to fans of 007 and to anyone interested in elegant, distinctive timepieces.
We bought the watches at Tourbillon Boutique in Lugano. The store is exquisite and well-secured. The staff is very accommodating. We were served snack and drinks. They also gave us Omega baseball caps and a bottle of champagne from France. Cheers to Bond's 50th and to our 1st!
20 June 2014
I am so proud to say that after almost 2 years, this gem is still as stunning as I first saw it. There was a time when this became my everyday watch and aside from serving its purpose of giving time, it also added elegance to every wardrobe. I am not a fashionista, you would even see me wearing jeans and probably a plain white shirt. My James Bond 50th anniversary Omega Seamaster serves as the perfect accessory. I've always been a fan of both Agent 007 and Omega watches. This collector's piece is the best statement for that. The performance is excellent, the design is superb. Definitely worth the investment. My husband can absolutely say the same about his own 007 50th anniversary Omega Seamaster, the better-half of mine.
I think I have better photos to show now.

Evidence is mounting in state after state that military-style boot camps provide no silver bullet in the fight to steer troubled youths away from crime.
In California, a state study found no proof that boot camps turn criminals around.
Massachusetts camp graduates returned to drugs and crime in numbers equal to those of regular jail inmates, according to a legislative report.
And in the most comprehensive analysis to date, a federally sponsored study of camps in eight states, including Florida, concluded that "there is very little evidence that the shock incarceration experience leads to a reduction in offender recidivism."
Despite the growing consensus, Sheriff Ron Cochran and the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice are continuing to push to build a $7.6 million corrections center for juveniles and adults near Pembroke Pines off U.S. 27.
The plan is part of a state commitment to spend $19.9 million in the next two years on projects that emphasize boot camps, including $2.8 million toward the Broward center.
"We're continuing to expand," department spokesman John Joyce said on Monday. "These are high-profile programs. You find a lot of people in favor of them, and a lot of people against them. Are they working or not? The verdict is still out."
Broward commissioners will decide at their meeting today at the Governmental Center whether they want to become partners in the project. Commissioners will vote on leasing land to the state and contributing $2 million toward it. It is unclear whether the state will proceed with the plan if commissioners decide against participating.
The commission's decision will be colored not only by stories of boot camp effectiveness, but also by politics and emotions.
Cochran, an elected official who must turn to the county for budget approval, has been feuding lately with several county leaders, including County Commissioner Scott Cowan and auditor Norm Thabit.

Cognitive Architectures and General Intelligent Systems
In this article, I claim that research on cognitive architectures is an important path to the development of general intelligent systems. I contrast this paradigm with other approaches to constructing such systems, and I review the theoretical commitments associated with a cognitive architecture. I illustrate these ideas using a particular architecture -- ICARUS -- by examining its claims about memories, about the representation and organization of knowledge, and about the performance and learning mechanisms that affect memory structures. I also consider the high-level programming language that embodies these commitments, drawing examples from the domain of in-city driving. In closing, I consider ICARUS's relation to other cognitive architectures and discuss some open issues that deserve increased attention.

Today we turn our attention to Australia's east coast and the Great Barrier Reef, where there is unmatched biodiversity. In terms of global importance and natural worth, no other place on the planet comes even close and it needs to be seen to be believed.
The astonishing Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef ecosystem, extending from deep waters to shallow areas and incorporating over 2900 separate coral reefs and houses an unimaginable range of creatures, each more fascinating than the last. This expansive area of reef is made of of 70 'bioregions' (or broad-scale habitats) each suitable for different plants and creatures to survive and thrive in. It is in these 'bioregions' that the "Great 8" iconic marine creatures exist and can all be encountered.
Made famous by the film Finding Nemo, clownfish have become the 'poster boys' of the Great Barrier Reef thanks to their vibrant and recognisable orange and white scales. Graceful and appealing, clownfish can usually be found hiding amongst the stinging tentacles of anemones in sheltered reefs and shallow lagoons.
Possibly not what you wanted to see on this list, but sharks are commonplace in the warm waters off the Whitsundays, Cairns etc. Don't worry though, we're certainly not talking about the notorious Great White Shark here (they prefer the cold waters of the Southern Ocean!). Instead, what you'll encounter are far smaller species (usually reef sharks), ones which pose no threat whatsoever to divers and snorkellers. That doesn't mean that these sharks don't rule the roost though, these lone rangers are still top of the food chain around these parts!
Manta Rays
One of the most recognisable creatures of the ocean, Manta Rays are the largest of all rays and boast a highly impressive wingspan (or finspan) which they use to full effect in navigating the Australia waters with the upmost style and grace. These gentle giants are mostly solitary creatures and, unlike its cousin the stingray, does not have a barb on its body. Manta Rays might not be the most beautiful sea creature you'll see at the barrier reef, but it is certainly amongst the most fascinating and approachable.
Maori Wrasse
Meet your new best friend from the ocean! Highly personable and friendly, the Maori Wrasse love to play and follow you around in the depths of the ocean and it is this characteristic that can occasionally be its demise. Not only among the easiest of prey, it is also a notoriously tasty fish, which ensures that it is highly sought after. There is so much more to these big-boned fish though. They are considered romantic and can be found in solitary male-female pairs and are important in protecting the reef from sea hares and box fish which attack it.
Potato Cod
Large and robust, the potato cod can be fairly intimidating to look at, but any anxiety will soon fade away when you first approach these giant fish. Dive to the famous Cod Hole for the best place to see the potato cod and somewhere that you can see them every day. Witness the incredible sight of them being hand fed and swim with them, as they exhibit a mutual lack of fear with you by swimming centimetres away from you and other divers.
Giant Clams
Found everywhere on the Great Barrier Reef, these guys might come across as tough characters to you, but in truth they're really just big softies! Spending their days eating algae and looking good in a spectrum of colours on the seabed. Often brightly coloured and eye-catching, these clams come in a range of shapes and sizes and can live up to 100 years in the same spot at the bottom of the ocean.
The reef is undoubtedly the turtle hub of the world, with six of the worlds' seven turtle species calling it home. Typically the most sought after creature for visitors, it's not difficult to catch a glimpse of a turtle or two here, as instinct draws them together each year for mating in the shallows and nesting on the shore of the islands around the Great Barrier Reef. Despite sightings being relatively common, all of these turtles are endangered and are reliant on help from the Queensland Turtle Conservation project for help.
Despite its shallow waters, the Great Barrier Reef is actually the playground of choice for humpback whales and their calves. It is here that they arrive in the months of June - September, as they build up their and their calves' strength before returning to the impossibly colder waters of the Antarctic. Whale watching is done here in a safe and responsible manner in order to minimise human interference in the lives of the whales, whilst also providing a memorable and educational experience for visitors. Off of the waters of Cooktown in the Tropical North Queensland waters, you'll also find dwarf minke whales frolicking.

I wanted to make these apple butter macarons. So first step was I needed apple butter. I had gone apple picking and had some apples to use up. ;o) So Whisk Kid's recipe over here, calls for whole spices like cinnamon sticks, allspice berries...I didn't even know allspice came in a berry... So I did some googling and found substitutes.
Homemade Apple Butter
adapted from Whisk Kid
3 cups diced apples (I think mine were red delicious and rome or courtland?)
2 cups water
½ cups sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp honey
¾ tsp ground nutmeg
¾ tsp ground cloves
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Peel and dice the apples.
Place the prepared apples and remaining ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil (uncovered) over high heat, then reduce the heat and let simmer (also uncovered) until very soft, about 1 ½-2 hours. Be sure to mix every once in awhile, increasing the frequency with which you do so the longer the apples cook. Once very soft and caramelized, remove from heat and allow to cool briefly. Pour into a blender or food processor to puree. Store in the fridge.
It's fabulous, and smells delicious while cooking! My only change after the fact reflected in the recipe above was to omit the black pepper from the allspice substitute. Here is what I found on it:
One teaspoon ground allspice is equivalent to approximate 5 whole berries.
If you need a substitute for allspice combine equal parts of ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper.
Right...skip the black pepper, you'll taste it in the applebutter and rather prominently.
And in case you're wondering here's how the macarons turned out!
My macarons have been hit or miss, it seems the baking temps are way to high on all the recipes I've considered and I've consulted quite a few of them... I thought the cinnamon on top would add some significant cinnamon-y flavor, but it did not...and I added 4 tsps of apple butter to the buttercream, but could you taste it in the the end? No. Plus I burned one tray...how does that happen?
Anyway, happy apple buttering!

Ok, technically it was The Hoka Highland Fling but this is my race report and I'll call it what I like.
3.00am alarm! I groaned and smiled at the same time, an absurd time of day to get up but with the promise of an adventure the rude awakening would be well worth it. At 4.00am Ken and Sue were outside my door, they had already picked up Pauline and we were in Milngavie at the back of 5.00am. It was freezing cold but the weather looked promisingly dry, and speaking to George, Karen and Mike, (they'd just ran down from Tyndrum), apart from a couple of places, the going under foot wasn't too bad at all considering all the rain there's been. I was sorry to hear that George had a duff knee and it scuppered their plans to do a double and run back up. Ken was able to give them a lift back up to Tyndrum as he was heading up to Bridge of Orchy for a bit of Cally Challenge practice before picking us up at the finish.
My plan was to run WHW race pace until coming off the rollercoaster above Crianlarich then give it some welly for the last few miles. I took my fastest WHW race splits as a rough guide which was the 2008 WHW race, in that year I got to Tyndrum in 13hrs 37mins, and Fort William 27hrs 11mins it was my fastest to Tyndrum in recent years but not my WHW PB, that was in 2007 and I reached Tyndrum in slower time of 13hrs 50mins and Fort William in 26hrs 14mins. (As John K says "Slow and steady wins the race.") I always run to my body and don't pay any attention to time although I was wearing a watch and carried a piece of paper with the times I expected to go through the checkpoints, purely for peace of mind of getting to Beinglas before the cut off.
Consistent should be my middle name.
WHW2008 Splits
Fling 2012 Splits
Rightio, that's the boring numbers blurb out of the way, back to the important part of having fun.
After a short race briefing from John, us old gits and girlies were off at 6.00am, I shouldn't have been surprised to see some patches of white frost on the path, it took a good few miles until feeling had returned to my fingers and that was wearing gloves! The sun was rising and bringing a bit of warmth with it, the sky was clear blue with a few wee fluffy clouds, it was never going to get as lovely and warm as last year, I kept my arm warmers on all day but we were quite lucky weather wise after how horrible it's been lately.
Pauline, Sue, Robin and myself stayed together after the start although there was no plan or pressure to do this, we were just happy running the same pace, there were others around the same pace and nice to blether with friends old and new. (Pauline's back had been a bit stiff and sore after gardening , she did say she might just run with me, I did cheekily warn her that I wouldn't wait) Going through the Garadhban stumps Robin got a bit of ribbing, he was the only bloke in a group of about fifteen woman. Thomas aka Crazy German from the 7.00am start whooshed past. That was the start of the faster runners coming by, the Fling is a unique event where every runner respects and encourages everyone else whether they are doing the ultra or the relay, apart from two ignorant gits that went by around Rowardennan without a word or a nod of existence with their ears plugged into music. "Oi! Get back on the treadmill you soulless numpties, you don't deserve the WHW!" is what I would've shouted if they could've heard me. I don't think they realised what they were missing, the Red Squirrel in what was left of Garadhban, the cheery bird song and the distinctive Cuckoo and Woodpecker are just a few of things that make it special for me.
I carried my camera and made them stop on Conic hill, with a view like that you can't just watch your feet!
|Thanks Helen for taking this one for me
Balmaha was busy with marshals working their socks off finding drop bags, after getting mine, I didn't stop but walked on shovelling in a rice pudding, I wanted to finish it before passing the bucket at the side of the road before going up the hill so I didn't have to carry a sticky plastic spoon and carton to Rowardennan. Pauline and Sue were soon back with me but we'd lost Robin, he takes a bit longer at checkpoints. (Robin, learn to walk and faff!)
Dawn joined us along to Rowardennan, and was happy to stop for a photo on one of the wee steep hills, I am very persuasive though. "Do you lot want a butt shot or do you want to turn round and smile!" I did take a few butt shots but no close ups! more photos here
As we approached Rowardennen we were warned there was a fallen runner just ahead, I envisaged someone sitting tending to a bloody knee or the like but it was a shock to see Ellen lying on the path covered in survival blankets, we stopped to see if there was anything we could do, she had a paramedic and friends with her so there was nothing else we could do but it felt wrong to leave her. (Ellen, wishing you a speedy recovery, hope the broken arm/shoulder heals quickly xx)
At Rowardennen I was again the first of us out of the checkpoint, I stuffed my drop bag goodies into my backpack and walked up the wide track glugging down my Yazzo banana milkshake, Pauline and Sue took a little longer topping up on some water. It wasn't long until Dawn was back with us too, maybe I shouldn't have been so quick, I think I left my bag of Mini Cheddars lying on the ground, but Sue being the generous soul she is shared hers when I was disappointed I didn't have mine.
Once the path narrows I love the way it flows with all the ups and downs, running with the flow I always feel good here, I think the constant change of stride and pace keep the legs fresh, I dropped behind the others a bit after stopping for a pee, kinda tricky to find a secluded spot without climbing the hill or dropping into the loch also timing it without the youngsters in the 8.00am start and the relay at the 9.00am start hurtling past! Luckily I managed without being caught with my bahooky hanging out, also wearing a wee kilt does offer a little modesty if I was.
After the Inversnaid checkpoint we were back together, I don't eat or drink much after Inversnaid with having to hang on to the trees and boulders, my short stekky legs and creaky knees were going cautiously along , I think there has been a lot of erosion since the last time I was along it. I was pleased to see the flat grassy bit and celebrated with my dinky 150ml can of coke.
We stopped at Dario's post, my racing hip flask was shared among us and as we left the sun blinked through the clouds and shone brighter than before.
At the Beinglas checkpoint I was pleased to see we were well within the cut off and after picking up my goodies from my drop bag I walked up the path drinking my Slimfast milkshake, another runner was looking at his sandwich and said he couldn't face it and it was going to be bird food, I offered him the rest of my Slimfast but he didn't fancy that either, he was still travelling well though and disappeared over the hill
It was just after Beinglas, Pauline, Sue and I had decided that since we've come this far together we might as well finish together. Next thing I knew I'd caught my toe and down I went with quite a clump, my first thought was "Mick Jagger!" I instantly felt a fat lip! I started to get up, Pauline encouraged me to stay down until I gathered myself but I felt ok, apart from spitting mud, "yuk!", I was crunching grit between my teeth, then thought actually that's a good sign, my front teeth are still there. I looked at Pauline and asked "Am I bleeding?" The smidgen of laugher in Pauline's voice spoke louder than her words " Yeah, try not to drip on your white t-shirt." I can't be that bad then. Sue handed me a wee pack of anti-septic wet wipes, (sorry Sue, I used them all), I found quite a few stingy bits on my nose, lip and chin. But apart from that nothing else was damaged, legs fine and no holes in my Skins, camera pouch was a bit dusty and my hip flask which was clipped to the chest strap has a few scratches but luckily nothing to stop me running. It didn't take too long until I was back in my stride. I was still moving well, my legs felt supple and strong.
We picking a careful path through coo poo alley, and moved well on the rollercoaster. After crossing the road Pauline put her race head on, looked at her watch, and said it's close but we might finish under 13 hours. She was pulling away, Sue and I followed putting in a good effort, it was the plan but I had a wee conspiratorial whisper to Sue "I don't think we're going to get under 13 hours, are you worried?" She wasn't, that's a relief, but we weren't slacking, Pauline was feeding us chocolate coated coffee beans, and I was breathing hard. I heard the piper, we were nearly there.
|photo from Muriel Downie
We finished together in a row of grinning Cheshire cats in 13hrs 3mins. Pauline was happy to lay the blame of failing to finish under 13 hours on me stopping for a lie down, that's ok, I can live with that, it was a brilliant day and mashing my moosh wasn't going to take the shine off.

We have barely made inroads into 2016, but we've already learned a number a strange things about our mind and our behavior. Here's a sample of some odd psychology studies from the past two months.
Classic psychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD appear to have therapeutic potential for reducing intimate partner violence.
"Although we're attempting to better understand how or why these substances may be beneficial, one explanation is that they can transform people's lives by providing profoundly meaningful spiritual experiences that highlight what matters most," a researcher involved in the study explained.
Researchers found that languages are in competition with one another in the brains of bilingual people.
"The consequences of bilingualism are not limited to language but reflect a reorganization of brain networks that hold implications for the ways in which bilinguals negotiate cognitive competition more generally," as one researcher put it.
Business leaders who made displays of ethical behavior were found to be more likely to lash out at employees.
"Ironically, when leaders felt mentally fatigued and morally licensed after displays of ethical behavior, they were more likely to be abusive toward their subordinates on the next day," Russell Johnson Johnson, an expert on the psychology of the workplace, explained.
4.) Narcissists who dislike themselves
A study found that — despite feeling superior to others — narcissists could have a low self-esteem.
The lead researcher remarked: "The distinction between narcissism and self-esteem has important implications for intervention efforts. Over the past few decades, Western youth have become increasingly narcissistic. It is therefore important to develop interventions that curb narcissism and raise self-esteem."
5.) Alexander Hamilton was president of the United States?
Researchers found that about 70 percent of Americans were confident that Alexander Hamilton was once president of the United States. (He wasn't!)
"I had predicted that Benjamin Franklin would be the person most falsely recognized as a president, but Hamilton beat him by a mile," the researchers said.
6.) Beware of positive thinking
A study found that people who fantasized about an idealized future tended to have depressive symptoms in the future.
"The modern era is marked by a push for ever-positive thinking, and the self-help market fueled by a reliance on such positive thinking is a $9.6 billion industry that continues to grow. Our findings raise questions of how costly this market may be for people's long-term well-being and for society as a whole," researcher Gabriele Oettingen and her colleagues wrote in their study.
7.) Psychotherapy can shrink (part of) your brain
Researchers discovered that the brain of patients suffering from social anxiety disorder changed in volume after nine weeks of internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy.
"The greater the improvement we saw in the patients, the smaller the size of their amygdalae. The study also suggests that the reduction in volume drives the reduction in brain activity", says doctoral student Kristoffer NT Månsson

40. But if the British Library is the number
one library in the world for its collections then that in itself
would have a status. The British Library electronic research library
would presumably have that cachet that scientists are looking
(Sir Brian Follett) I think so.
41. It is a huge marketing possibility here
for the British Library to take over the historic monopolies that
all these obscure journals have previously enjoyed, and then you
will return to the Treasury far in excess of £30 million
a year.
(Mrs Brindley) I think it is very clear that changes
to the scholarly communication system, which you are right to
allude to, have got to be owned by the researchers themselves
and the institutions. That is where you need to see the change.
In one or two disciplines it is very clear that it is moving fast
but in most disciplines it quite simply is not. As we move from
basically collecting print to also increasingly collecting electronically,
there is one other issue which we have not alluded to yet, which
is the need to extend our legal deposit arrangements from the
print to the electronic world. And that would be an absolutely
core requirement to that because at the present time publishers
are required to deposit with the UK copyright; librariesanything
that is published in print but there is no equal requirement for
legal deposit of electronic journals or electronic publications.
So potentially, until we get that legislation, there will be quite
a major gap in our collections that will pt at risk our premier
position, so that is a point we need to address.
42. Can I put to you one final question and
it is to do with the question of cost again? Earlier, Sir Brian,
you mentioned the figure of £150 million that was spent on
acquisitions of journals that would have been £400 million
without the role of the British Library making them available
nationally. My question is, what assessment have you made, if
any, of the scale of the duplication that still exists and if
I can quote the obvious example of the universities nearest to
my constituency, UMIST, Manchester Metropolitan, Victoria University
in Manchester, Salford University a mile and a half in the other
direction, how on earth can you possibly justify each of those
four universities having fully fledged research libraries and
each buying every month their own copy of the Journal of Theoretical
(Sir Howard Newby) The answer is we cannot and
we do not.
43. The question is whether there is a lot of
money involved or whether there is going to be a bid to the spending
review either this year or the spending review in three years'
time or whether the electronic research library can be developed
entirely by readjusting the existing budgets through eliminating
the duplication of multiple purchasing?
(Sir Howard Newby) First of all, Manchester is, of
course, a rather sensitive issue at the moment. As it happens
the four universities in the city of Manchester do collaborate
very closely and have reciprocal library rights. Leaving that
to one side, your general point is quite right. What Brian's group
was asked to consider was whether as a funding council together
with our partners we needed to put in place rather more robust
mechanisms for co-ordination which might exist in Manchester but
might not exist between Manchester and somewhere else or indeed
over specific subject disciplines nationally. There is also an
issue about whether very specialist centres need to be created
and sustained serving a national remit or whether we just leave
it to the laissez-faire of the university individual collecting
policies. We rather suspect we should not leave it to individual
collection policies in individual universities.
44. Are you working on a more robust mechanism?
(Sir Howard Newby) That is what we have asked Brian's
group to come up with.
Chairman: Thank you, gentlemen. I want to move
on to electronic resources in a more focused way. Paul, would
you like to start?
45. Just a question on the technicalities. Are
people accessing new information electronically? Are they reading
it online or downloading it and reading it offline?
(Mrs Brindley) I think it is both. Licensing arrangements
are different, so in many cases you can read on screen freely
but if you choose to print off that can be done.
46. As the volume of access electronically has
grown and grown are there the problems of accession over too many
people trying to get on to the site or does it get sluggish at
particular times of the day?
(Mrs Brindley) I think that is partly a question for
(Sir Howard Newby) Yes. The individual universities,
I can say that I think all the major research universities encourage
a degree of reading offline and I think all of them now have created
a cache system so if you are accessing, whether it is the British
Library or indeed overseas, you are not wasting or using resources
unnecessarily by constantly going online.
47. Yes.
(Sir Howard Newby) My old university at Southampton
certainly operated a very successful cache system which enabled
that to happen effectively. This is an issue we need to keep an
eye on constantly as a sector.
48. You are not getting any problems with the
capacity of the system? I am thinking of the PRO where they crashed
in January.
(Sir Howard Newby) Touch wood, not yet. One of the
things that JISC has successfully doneand I think this
is an achievement that we can be very proud of actuallyit
has constantly kept ahead of the game in that regard. JANET, the
network created by JISC, was created a long, long time ago, a
long time before the internet so that when the internet came along
it was unproblematic as far as most academics were concerned and
indeed these days as far as most students are concerned. We have
always tried to upgrade the academic network, JANET, to keep ahead
of any likelihood of predicted demand and so far we have managed
to do that.
Chairman: Valerie, do you want to come in on
Valerie Davey: No, I think mine has been covered.
I was concerned particularly, as David has pointed out, about
the information between the provider, the publisher and this.
Like David, I am working gradually towards why is there a publisher.
I think my point has been covered, thank you, Chair.
Chairman: Let us move on to the relationship
between the British Library and the universities. I think Meg
Munn wants to take you to task on this.
49. Given what we have been talking about, about
the different resources that there are, and given the way that
higher education is developing and the fact that we want to open
up access and ensure more people can get access. How are you going
to be able to ensure that there is an equality of access to quality
resources for all researchers from all universities wherever they
might be based?
(Sir Howard Newby) I think at the moment, because
JANET is run as a national system and because the agreements we
have, including our strategic alliance with the British Library,
are nationally based then we can say with our hand on our heart
that as far as researchers are concerned, staff in any British
higher education institution, broadly speaking, have equality
of access to online materials, I do not think there is a problem
there. I did hint earlier that there is a wider problem because
we have to recognise that today's research is tomorrow's teaching
materials. Many of the users, of course, these days are students.
It began as an issue of researchers but now students are the major
users of JANET. We have to see how we can ensure access by studentsfull-time,
part-time, in their halls of residence, not just in the library
and so on and so forththat has been a challenge, to try
to keep ahead of that growth in demand. The technology has changed
very rapidly and we have had to have successive waves of investment
in our education institutions to keep up with that and that will
remain a challenge, there is no doubt about that.
50. Moving away a bit from the electronic information,
given what was said earlier about all the stuff that goes back
lots and lots of years, it has not all going to be there electronically
for a long, long time, and what was said in your memorandum about
the fact that universities which have a longer history of research
will have more research information available and given the newer
universities, how are we going to get over that problem?
(Sir Howard Newby) Certainly we have encouraged universities
to come together locally and regionally so they can organise themselves
into groupings which offer reciprocal rights to both students
and staff. In other words, if you are in a relatively new institution
which has not had a history of building up its collection, both
staff and students at that institution should be able to access
what they need on a 24 hour basis either from Boston Spa or from
a local institution with a longer history as far as its library
is concerned, and indeed vice versa. That has worked pretty well,
I think.
(Mrs Brindley) I think we do see ourselves through
Sir Brian's review co-ordinating much more at a regional level
this equality of physical access. Certainly the British Library
is playing its part in that by being part of a national referral
scheme so that, if you like, the first port of call is where you
are, the second port of call may be Manchester or may be your
region and then you will be fast tracked through to the British
Library. That is becoming quite an integrated referral scheme.
We work too, of course, with the public librariespartly
again because of our positioningvery much to increasingly
use the public library as the vehicle through which we would deliver
British Library services for the citizen, but also the life long
learner, if you like, and the setting up of learning centres in
public libraries is a critical part of that complementary infrastructure.
In fact, of course, many students actually work in public libraries
so it is getting that new system to work together.
51. Yes. Certainly I would see that as a very
important aspect if we are looking at people coming in at an older
age, perhapsnot students going away physically to university
and they have other demands on lifeactually using those
facilities. Do you feel those resources are adequately publicised
in terms of people knowing that they can have that level of access
and those systems are in place?
(Mrs Brindley) Yes. I think it is quite early days.
We are just putting into place some of these national referral
schemes. We have one, for example, in the M25 region that works
right across all libraries within the M25, which is just one example.
I think it is very early days and I think our work, particularly
with the public libraries, has got a long way to go to get to
fruition, to get to understand that actually people do have access
to the British Library, they may not know they have got access
to the British Library and in one sense that does not matter but
they do have access. The whole inter-lending system which our
Boston Spa site supports, not just document delivery but the inter-lending
of books, the public library is a major user of that.
52. To push you here on that for a moment. The
picture one always gets of higher education is of the research
rich universities having more books, more access, more librarians,
more of everything. In a sense, is not HEFCE in a way missing
a trick here? Is this not the one waythis wonderful central
resourceof compensating those universities that do not
have rich endowments and are research rich in every sense? Is
this not the way to compensate? We go to universities, we went
to Manchester and they had this very good system of sharing library
resource, that does not occur everywhere and you do not have that
advantage of a mix of universities in one town.
(Sir Howard Newby) First of all, we have invested
heavilydisproportionately heavilyin the learning
resources in new universities and they have actually responded
in quite innovative ways. On the whole they have not tended to
go down the route of, if you like, if I can put it this way, the
traditional library but rather to invest in learning centres which
combine access, yes to books and periodicals and so on, on the
one hand, but online access to electronic materials, on the other.
If you go into one of these buildings it is rather like a cross
between a library and an internet café. The finest learning
centre I have been in recently has been at the University of Sunderland
and I would commend any of you if you are in that part of the
world to go and look at it, it is really wonderful. It provides
the kind of environment which is attractive to the kinds of students
we want to bring in.
53. Is it open 24 hours?
(Sir Howard Newby) It is indeed open 24 hours, it
is 24 seven.
Ms Munn: Let us have a late night visit then,
54. Thank you, Meg.
(Sir Howard Newby) You will be interested to learn,
Chairman, that in SunderlandI know this for a fact I was
there recentlyone of the peak periods is between, let us
get this right, 2 am and 6 am when students have finished with
some of their social activity but need to go in to meet their
55. Good quality research.
(Sir Howard Newby) Indeed. Where the sector has, I
think, been successful, there is always a constant challenge.
Indeed, it has been negotiating national agreements over copyright
for learning materials, this has not been easy. There has recently
been a legal challenge in one particular case so that all the
universities and colleges, under a national agreement, can make
available to students photocopied and other kinds of reproduced
materials for learning purposes and we have been quite successful
in negotiating that. I think the new universities have been far
more innovative in the way they have approached students' needs
for learning and teaching than the older universities which are
rather sort of stuck with their historical inheritance in terms
of buildings and infrastructure.
(Sir Brian Follett) Can I add. I agree with you, the
fact that in many ways Super JANET itself is a good example of
providing a remarkably world class network to all institutions
regardless by taking money off the very top of the budget line
to provide that. Really that is what is happening in many ways
with some of the research resources and that is one way in which
a research electronic library has grown. You have been talking
particularly in the last few minutes about the teaching and learning
side, and of course they are connected, but in many ways the research
problem is a question of vast amounts of information, any one
piece of which will only be accessed by the odd individual. The
situation in teaching and learning is really the opposite way
round, relatively small amounts of material which will accessed
by tens of thousands of individuals, perhaps simultaneously. That
is a very interesting challenge. Now it could have been done within
this one committee that I am chairing, in fact it was decided,
I think wisely, not to mix them together because there is a bit
of apples and pears. JISC which runs the network has been charged,
and has begun working heavily now on providing over the network
what are called managed learning environments. Those managed learning
environments also include the capacity to access learning materials
over the web. That is being done particularly because of the new
responsibilities that JISC has for FE. When I happened to write
a report on this JISC about 18 months ago, it was made very clear
to me by the further education principals I met that they were
delighted to join the higher education network, they have got
access to a wonderful network, but they did expect that the emphasis
would shift and that their priorities, which are mass access to
teaching and learning material, would figure much more prominently,
and that is rapidly under way. The irony is that not only are
there difficulties with copyright on teaching and learning materials,
the truth is that for all our talk there are not all that many
good electronic teaching and learning materials available.
56. Could I pursue the question about access
by looking at the issue of the recharge costs? At the moment,
the British Library takes 50 per cent of its inquiries from higher
education, and I think you have already said 25 per cent from
commercial sources.
(Sir Howard Newby) Business, yes.
57. You quoted Glaxo Wellcome in particular.
(Sir Howard Newby) Yes.
58. Assume a particular university carries nothing
from tax, that is because the recharge is between the library
and the individual university. What is the differential between
the conventional recharge cost to an individual university and
a typical recharge cost to a commercial organisation?
(Mrs Brindley) For the same service, for example for
a document supplied, there is not a differential charge because
of the Treasury rules for charging. We work very clearly within
the Treasury guidelines. For the same service we are obliged to
charge the same price. That said, the sort of thing we were talking
about earlier in terms of some of the more highly value added
services that we were planning, we would only offer those on a
fully commercial basis.
59. Again, looking forward to the establishment
of the electronic resource library, if an individual, not registered
with the university, wishes to access that, will there be a charge
to an individual, somebody who simply has a lifelong passion in
some area?
(Mrs Brindley) I think unless, for example, they could
convince their public library to fund them or some other organisation
they were affiliated to, if they came simply as an individual
they would be charged, yes.

Sand Tiger SharkCarcharias taurus
These large Lamnidae sharks grow to around 10 feet long, and have rounded triangular fins except for their asymmetrical caudal fin with an enlarged top lobe. They are classically gray to light brown on top and light below, but are often scattered with darker reddish brown blotches also. They prefer hunting fish and invertebrates inshore near reefs, surf, and shallow bays, and migrate north-south with the seasonal temperature changes. Sand tiger sharks are believed to produce one or two pups every few years because of intrauterine cannibalism, where the largest pup eats the smaller ones before birth.
Order: Lamniformes
Family: Odontaspididae
Genus: Carcharias
Species: taurus
Common Names
English language common names include sand tiger shark, grey nurse shark, ground shark, spotted raggedtooth shark, slender-tooth shark, spotted sandtiger shark and ground shark. Other common names are bacota (Spanish), pintado (Spanish), sarda (Spanish), cação-da-areia (Portuguese), mangona (Portuguese), tavrocarcharias (Greek), chien de mer (French), kalb, (Arabic), grauer sandhai (German), hietahai (Finnish), karish khol pari (Hebrew), oxhaj (Swedish), zandtijgerhaai (Dutch), peshkaqen i eger (Albanian), shirowani (Japanese) and spikkel-skeurtandhaai (Afrikaans).
Importance to HumansIn the North Pacific, northern Indian Ocean and off the tropical west coast of Africa, the sandtiger is commercially fished for food. The meat is utilized, fresh frozen and dried-salted, fins are sold in oriental markets for sharkfin soup and jaws and teeth are used for trophies and orniments. The sand tiger shark is not a commercially targeted species in North American waters, partially due to its protected status. In some instances in Australian waters the sand tiger had been killed by divers using underwater weapons since it is slow moving and approachable. This practice was banned in Australia in 1984. Sandtigers survive very well in aquariums and are a favorite because of their large size and fierce look. This shark also inhabits coastal waters and popular dive sites, such as shipwrecks, where they can be observed by recreational divers.
Danger to HumansUnderwater observations of this shark reveal that it is not aggressive unless provoked. Its size and jagged teeth demand respect and have given it an undeserved reputation as a maneater in Australia, where it is often confused with other species, mainly requiem sharks. It has been known to attack people when provoked, especially when they are spearfishing. There have been accounts of sandtigers stealing fish off stringers and spears underwater. In total there have been relatively few documented attacks on humans. ISAF records account for only 29 unprovoked attacks with two resulting in fatalities.
Currently sand tiger sharks are regulated in the commercial longline shark fishery on the east coast of the United States by the National Marine Fisheries Service where it is identified as a prohibited species. Any sand tiger caught must be immediately released with minimal harm to the shark. The World Conservation Union classifies the sandtiger as "Vulnerable", which means it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium term future. This is due to an observed, estimated, inferred or suspected reduction in the population of at least 20% over the last 10 years or three generations. Since the sand tiger's reproductive rate is very low, only one or two pups per mature female every one or two years, the population needs to be closely monitored. Catch rates of populations in Australia and South Africa have shown declines due to commercial fishing, spearfishing and beach meshing. Even with status as a protected species, the recovery of the sandtiger shark off the coast of Australia has been very slow.
> Check the status of the tiger sand shark at the IUCN website.
The IUCN is a global union of states, governmental agencies, and non-governmental organizations in a partnership that assesses the conservation status of species.
Geographical DistributionThe sand tiger shark can be found in most warm seas throughout the world except for the eastern Pacific. In the western Atlantic Ocean it ranges from the Gulf of Maine (U.S.) to Argentina and is commonly found in Cape Cod (U.S.) and Delaware Bay (U.S.) during the summer months. In the eastern Atlantic it can be found from the coast of Europe to North Africa and within the Mediterranean Sea. Its range also extends from Australia to Japan and in the waters off South Africa.
Commonly found inshore ranging in depths from 6 to 626 feet (1.8 to 191 m), the sand tiger shark's range extends to a variety of areas including the surf zone, shallow bays, coral and rocky reefs and deeper areas around the outer continental shelves. C. taurus is often found on the bottom but can also be seen throughout the water column. The sandtiger is migratory within its region, moving poleward during the summer while making equatorial movements during the fall and winter months.
Distinguishing Characteristics
1. Dirst dorsal fin is back on body, closer to pelvic fins than to pectoral fins
2. First and second dorsal and anal fins nearly equal in size
3. Snout flattened, with long mouth extending behind eyes
BiologyDistinctive Features
The sand tiger shark is a large, bulky shark with a flattened conical snout and a long mouth that extends behind the eyes. The first dorsal fin is set back and is much closer to the pelvic fins than the pectoral fins. The anal and dorsal fins are large and broad-based and the second dorsal fin is almost the same size as the first dorsal. Gill slits are anterior to the origin of the pectoral fins in this species. The caudal fin of the sand tiger shark is asymmetrically shaped with a strongly pronounced upper lobe.
Coloration of the sand tiger shark is generally light brown or light greenish–gray above and grayish white below. Many individuals have darker reddish or brown spots scattered on the body.
The teeth of the sand tiger shark have prominent narrow cusps with lateral cusplets. The upper anterior teeth are separated by small intermediate teeth. The upper teeth number 44 to 48 and the lower teeth number 41 to 46. The teeth in the corners of the mouth are very small and numerous. The ragged looking teeth give the sand tiger shark a distinct menacing look.
Dermal denticles are loosely spaced and ovoid lanceolate shaped with three ridges. The axial ridge is prominent and sharp-edged anteriorly but usually is subdivided and flat-topped posteriorly. In individuals around 3.3 feet (100cm) long denticle sizes are about 0.016 inches (0.4mm) broad by 0.018 inches (0.45mm) long.
Size, Age, and Growth
Average size ranges from four to nine feet with maximum length believed to be around 10.5 feet (320 cm) in females and 9.9 feet (301 cm) in males. Male maturity is reached at 6.3 feet (190-195 cm) at four to five years of age. Female maturity is reached at six years or over 7.2 feet (220 cm) in total length. Individuals in aquariums have lived to be 16 years old.
Food Habits
The diet of this ravenous feeder mainly consists of a wide variety of small bony fish including herrings, bluefishes, flatfishes, eels, mullets, snappers, hakes, porgies, croakers, bonito, remoras, sea robins and sea basses. Other prey items of the sandtiger are rays, squids, crabs, lobsters and other smaller sharks. Cooperative feeding has been observed by schools of sharks surrounding and bunching schooling prey in order to feed on them.
Embryonic development is ovoviviparous with ovophagy and embryophagy occurring in the uteri. Usually only one pup survives in each uteri since the largest embryo ends up eating all of its smaller siblings during gestation. This generally limits litter sizes to two individuals. At 6.7 inches (17 cm) embryos have functional teeth and are feeding and at 10.2 inches (26 cm) they are able to move in utero. Gestation periods are believed to be around eight to nine months long and pups generally measure 39 inches (99 cm) at birth.
Juveniles are susceptible to predation by larger sharks. Mature individuals have no major predators.
Since the sand tiger shark is denser than water and lacks a swim bladder like bony fish, it has adopted a behavior that allows it to become neutrally buoyant in the water column. The shark comes to the surface and gulps air, which it holds in its stomach. This allows the shark to hover motionless in the water.
The sand tiger shark was originally named Carcharias taurus by Rafinesque in 1810. Since then it has also been referred to literature as Odontaspis taurus Rafinesque 1810, Eugomphodus taurus Rafinesque 1810, Odontaspis americanus Mitchill 1815, Squalus americanus Mitchill 1815, Carcharias griseus Ayres 1843, Odontaspis arenarius Ogilby 1911, Carcharias arenarius Ogilby 1911, Odontaspis platensis Lahille 1928, and Carcharius platensisLahille 1928.

Sony Rebranding PSN, Will Become SEN Starting Next Week
Sony has confirmed that they will be rebranding their PlayStation Network with their next update scheduled for February 8th, from then on it will be known as Sony Entertainment Network (SEN). The company has started circulating an official email with the news that PSN users should be getting shortly if you haven't already. The key thing about this is that it seems to be a purely cosmetic change, better aligning the capability with the overall company and not just its gaming division. Your username and password aren't changing and Sony won't require you to do so. It is also noted that PSP accounts won't be getting a name change for now.
Sony says its goal in making the move is to enhance its digital offering and they feel it well help them in their goal of a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music and more, all accessible from one convenient account. Essentially, it's just a strategic realignment similar to what Google has been doing with several of their services lately. As long as the services aren't changing, I can't really say I am all that bothered by the name change, it actually gives Sony an opportunity to incorporate more of their services into the platform and make them accessible across all their devices.
I won't lie though, I will miss the PSN name, even though it was on the same backbone as several other services, it felt like it was this big huge thing that was just for us gamers. Oh well, what do you all think, do you care about the name change? Will you miss the calling it "PlayStation Network"? Hit us up in the comments and let us know what you think.

Fiji is looking to save money on its money. Fiji's central bank recently issued a $2 coin while withdrawing the bank note of the same denomination. Usually this sort of a transition is relatively simple, however Fiji's transition appears to be experiencing some unforeseen problems. On the surface everything appears to be on schedule. Reserve Bank of Fiji governor Barry Whiteside was quoted in the April 3 issue of The Fiji Times newspaper as saying, "The old $2 note has ceased to be legal tender for trading purposes so shopkeepers and traders should not give them out as change. Those who are still holding any $2 notes have until the end of April to exchange them at a commercial banks." Whiteside addressed the new $5 polymer composition bank note at the same time. "The old brown $5 notes will cease to be legal tender for trading purposes on June 30, after which they may (like the $2 notes) be exchanged at a commercial bank up until the end of July. Anyone still holding the notes after this time can bring them to the RBF for exchange." There is such a thing as saying too much, which Whiteside did. He continued, "As for the new $5 polymer note, these are being issued through the commercial banks from today, so you will hopefully be seeing them in the market very soon." Take a step backwards to understand what is really going on. Fiji has demonetized its $2 note. The $2 note is being replaced with a coin.

(Coins of Fiji have been produced at the Australian Mint in Canberra, Birmingham in England, British Royal Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, and the U.S. Mint at San Francisco.) Fiji has a new $5 note that will "hopefully" be in the market very soon, while the old note is about to be demonetized regardless of the availability of this new note. Whiteside has acknowledged the $5 notes will not be available through Automatic Teller Machines! (Incidentally, neither are the new $2 coins.) Add to this mix the Reserve Bank of Fiji is continuing discussions with the Royal Canadian Mint regarding Fiji being dissatisfied with how the new $2 coins are becoming discolored! Whiteside recently explained part of the $2 coin dilemma. "We understand that a certain amount of tarnishing is expected with all coins or metal combinations that contain varying amounts of copper. We are questioning the level of tarnishing. We are also told that there is a 'mature' stage where the coins will tend to get lighter in color with increased handling. As noted however, we are still in discussion on the whole issue." There have been numerous newspaper articles indicating word of the new coin and bank note reform has been slow to reach the populace. Merchants and consumers continue to use older coins and bank notes, unaware some of them are no longer legal tender. All of this is in the wake of the Fiji government making a controversial break from the British Commonwealth of Nations by removing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II from all coins and bank notes of Fiji. In a similar action to what happened when the Peoples' Republic of China took over Hong Kong, the new coins of Fiji are to depict a flower rather than the British monarch. Fiji's current currency system followed the examples of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, adopting a decimal dollar system due to the Fiji dollar being nearly on par with that of the United States at that time. Coins were introduced in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 cents in 1969, followed by a 50-cent coin in 1975. Each of these corresponds to the diameters and metal compositions of the same denominations in Australia. The metal composition of Fiji's coins eventually changed. In 1995 an aluminum-bronze $1 coin was introduced. The 1- and 2-cent coins were withdrawn in 2009. The $2 coin is the latest currency innovation. Due to domestic politics and how Fiji wants to relate to the British Commonwealth the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was dropped from all coins and bank notes in 2013. It is the introduction of this new currency system with which Fiji is having problems.

(SPM Wire) It's the season for holiday cheer and for spreading that cheer through the mail. Lots of mail. The U.S. Postal Service expects to process 545 million pieces of mail daily throughout this holiday season — totaling nearly 15 billion pieces of mail to be delivered between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve.
Indeed, the Postal Service recently announced it is ready to deliver holiday greetings and gifts to more than 152 million addresses nationwide.
It also revealed the busiest anticipated mailing day of this season — which is projected to be Monday, December 16, when more than 600 million pieces of mail are expected to be processed. That same day, 6 million customers are expected to visit post offices nationwide.
Luckily for most of us, our holiday greetings lists are a bit easier to manage.

Watch the otter with the best table manners
A new video from a YouTuber in Japan named mixjam11 proves that even animals can have great manners. The adorable video shows an otter eating a tasty meal in a bowl while enjoying it very properly.
The otter patiently grabs the food from the bowl and puts it in its mouth before tilting back its head to chew it thoroughly. Unfortunately, we can't say that the otter keeps having good manners the whole time, but it's pretty incredible how long the animal stays well behaved.
We just hope that there are tons more videos of this well-mannered otter enjoying doing other everyday activities in a very proper way. I mean, who wouldn't want to see this otter drink a glass a water while wearing a bow tie? No one!

The ultimate guide to The Game Archaeologist's MMO archives
When we moved over here to Massively Overpowered, some of us transplanted our long-running columns to the new space. I perhaps felt most devastated that I was going to lose all of the Game Archaeologist articles that I had painstakingly researched over the years. So my mission with this space became two-fold: to rescue and update my older columns while continuing to add more articles to this series on classic MMOs and proto-MMOs.
I've been pleased with the results so far because TGA is a series that I really don't want to see vanish. As MMORPG fans, we should consider it important to remember and learn about these older titles and to expand our knowledge past the more popular and well-known games of yesteryear.
Now that we have quite a catalogue of Game Archaeologist columns, I thought it would be helpful to end the year by gifting this handy guide to you that organizes and compiles our continuing look at the history of the genre. Enjoy!

I've got to say it...This looks staged.
From the beginning, the bald guy with the beard...(who eventually throws the punch) is constantly and impatiently looking to his left (towards where the man with the music eventually enters the scene). He is continuously clenching his fists, looking to the left and NOT actually praying...while the others (in actual prayer) are mostly focused and facing forward.
It appears the man was lying in wait for this particular person...and not participating in the actual praying as part of the group.
Add the fact that this episode was being conveniently filmed at the precise moment...and it appears staged...or, at least, a set up of the actual group of Christians.
Watch the video again...and see what I mean:

If that's true, then the questions are...
What is the purpose of this staged event?
What agenda is it supposed to be pushing?
Was the black man involved?
Any ideas? I'm baffled.

Once again natureas fury has taken a toll in pain, suffering, and lives lost. In recognition of the need for a rapid and appropriate response, CRC Press will donate $5 to the American Red Cross for every copy of Community Disaster Recovery and Resiliency: Exploring Global Opportunities and Challenges sold. In the past, societies would learn from disasters and move the location of their urban development to safer areas, allowing naturally occurring ecosystems to maintain themselves and for societies to exist symbiotically with the environment. These days, however, it seems that society no longer takes cues from the environment but rather relies on technical advancement to attempt to control and overcome the environment, sometimes with wholly unsuccessful and even catastrophic results. Emphasizing non-traditional approaches to disaster recovery and rebuilding communities, Community Disaster Recovery and Resiliency: Exploring Global Opportunities and Challenges brings together leading research from top academics and scholars on the different ways various societies have experienced disasters, learned from them, and revised their thinking about building community preparedness and resiliency pre- and post-disaster. Provides a clear, concise, and up-to-date understanding of best practices for rebuilding community institutions and community development after a disaster Focuses on integrated solutions for ecological restoration and community development in disaster recovery planning and implementation Compares and contrasts community rebuilding between different nations at different stages of development, economic power, and stability Includes case studies that illustrate best practices, integrating the concept of community and community rebuilding for local, national, and international stakeholders All chapters offer diverse community examples that form a framework for comparing best practices. They focus on integrated solutions for ecological restoration and community development and explain how communities can reduce their vulnerability to disasters and reduce recovery time following a disaster. The book indentifies the opportunities and challenges communities are most likely to face on the road to recovery and supplies the interdisciplinary, social scientific understanding required to effectively address those challenges.provision for earthquake resilience.

From Guy Waters Oct 03, 2014 Tabletalk Magazine
"Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!" "Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt." "Wonderful grace of Jesus, greater than all my sin; how shall my tongue describe it, where shall its praise begin?"
Christians love to sing of the saving grace of God—and rightly so. John tells us that out of Jesus' "fullness we have all received, grace upon grace" (John 1:16). Many of the New Testament letters begin and end with the writers expressing their desire that the grace of Jesus would be with His people. The very last words of the Bible read: "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen" (Rev. 22:21).

Want install Win 10 Pro on new 250 GB SSD drive. Already have Win 10 Pro installed and working on a 500 GB drive. Have bootable Win 10 on usb created with the windows tool. Now for the questions :)
1. I will disconnect all drives except for the new SSD, and try the install on it. If all goes to hell, by just reconnecting the original Win 10 drive will I be good to start over?
2. OneDrive, I have about 70 gb of data there, I do not want to download all this to my PC. I Have OneDrive backed up to an external drive would it be a simple matter of copying this to the new OneDrive on SSD.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I would really appreciate youre thoughts on the above strategy and possibly a new one.
