From virtual reality simulations all over the showroom to vehicle unveilings from nearly every major automaker, autonomous technology is a focal point of almost every aspect of the North American International Auto Show.
In an interview after dozens of new vehicle introductions and press conferences in the opening days of the Detroit auto show, Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor of Cars.com, said he hasn't seen an exhibition like the 2017 Detroit auto show in quite some time.
"News of something that has no form yet, and no detail yet can really run away with the buzz," he said. "... All the talk about mobility and autonomy, I get it. It's important. It's automakers trying to steal back some of the thunder from Silicon Valley, which got way too much credit in the past few years.
"Trying to make it seem like Detroit is a place that someone with talent might want to come work on high-tech stuff and attract some of those people from Silicon Valley, it's all important stuff. But from an auto show perspective, I think people are getting mobility fatigue."
Wiesenfelder said that consumers, the demographic to which Cars.com caters, have a short attention span when it comes to autonomous concepts.
He said consumers want to look at a really beautifully designed concept car, and not an autonomous one that can "read your mood."
Kia impresses with a sports performance car ... wait, Kia?
One of the cars that did impress the Cars.com staff, and the majority of others, was the introduction of the 2018 Kia Stinger.
Kia hopes the new 2018 Stinger sports performance car will compete with the likes of BMW's 6-Series and Audi's A6.
Not only is Kia stepping out of its perceived comfort zone, but the 2018 Stinger comes with either a 255 horsepower, twin turbo, 4-cylinder; or a 365 horsepower V6 with a top speed of 167 mph. It is the automaker's fastest-accelerating vehicle to date. It can fit five people, and go from 0-60 mph in an impressive 5.1 seconds.
"I think it's great. It looks good. I think I would be pretty impressed with it even if it weren't the most flashy real car at the show," Wiesenfelder said. "Powerful sports sedan? Sure, sign me up.
"They have been doing really good work for years now, and they're incrementally winning over buyers but they kind of have to do something to go to the next step. Teaching consumers that you're not a punchline anymore isn't necessarily going to make a big difference in your market share."
A focus on being the most American automaker
Every automaker at the show made a point of saying what, and how much they do in America.
When it was revealing the 2018 Toyota Camry, the Japanese automaker threw several graphics on the screen behind the new, shiny cars. The stats included the number of Toyota employees in America, how much money the automaker has invested in the U.S. and how much it plans to invest stateside.
The Camry has been America's top-selling car for 15 consecutive years, and has served as the company's flagship vehicle since 1982. Toyota made sure to bring up the designation of it being named the "Most American Car" by Cars.com.
"I can't imagine that would have happened if it weren't for all the talk and fear about changes in trade policy," Wiesenfelder said.
The all-American talk comes on the heels of Toyota and GM falling into President-elect Donald Trump's Twitter crosshairs. Trump recently tweeted at both automakers with threats of border taxes for manufacturing U.S.-market cars outside the country.
It also comes less than a week after Ford dropped the bombshell that it would scrap a planned $1.6 billion Mexico assembly plant and instead invest $700 million to expand the Flat Rock Assembly Plant.
The Dearborn-based automaker will add 700 employees, and a manufacturing and innovation center with the investment. Trump publicly embraced the move.
Surprises from the auto show
"If you want to talk about surprise. I just sat with three of my colleagues and we all came out as fans of the new Camry," he said. "The first person who said it was sheepish ... then he found support."
As for the Camry, America's top-selling car for 15 consecutive years made its debut with a lower center of gravity, an extended wheelbase and a lowered roof and hood.
The new Camry will come with three new powertrain options, which include a 3.5-liter V-6, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder and the next-generation Toyota Hybrid System.
Cars.com Best of 2017
While minivans might not be considered sexy, Cars.com named the Chrysler Pacifica its best of 2017.
"Cars.com is pretty practical. You give us a bunch of SUVs and a minivan, and family-friendly stuff and we're very busy," he said. "We're about -- I don't want to call anyone abnormal -- helping normal people buy cars."

Who doesn't enjoy a nice lil' cupcake? The sugary treat is a go-to snack for anyone craving something sweet. There's red velvet, galaxy, and even unicorn cupcakes. They're the ubiquitous pick-me-up we turn to in times of celebration and gloom.
The scrumptious cupcake actually had its humble beginnings in the USA during the 19th century. It gained popularity as people found that it saved a lot of time when it comes to both baking and eating, and wasn't prone to getting burnt in the oven. However, cupcakes only truly became a trendy food in the early 2000's. There were even shows dedicated to the craze, like Cupcake Wars and DC Cupcakes. While most people thought of it as a fad destined to disappear, there are still plenty of cupcake-themed bakeries globally. The cupcake endures due to its versatility, with all the fun flavors and decorations that you can come up with.
It's time to get creative! Build three types of heavenly cupcakes according to your personal preferences, and we'll tell you what people love about you!

UK coal agrees windfarm venture
Britain's biggest coal mining company has embarked on an alternative energy scheme which may see wind farms built at its sites across the country
Britain's biggest coal mining company has embarked on an alternative energy scheme which may see wind farms built at its sites across the country.
UK Coal has agreed a two-year deal giving Peel Energy exclusive access to wind farm opportunities on the mining company's land.
Under the agreement, Peel Energy will lead the development of windfarms through to planning permission, the companies said.
Individual joint ventures between Peel Energy and UK Coal will then construct and operate the wind farms.
Fourteen existing windfarm projects, already initiated by UK Coal, fall within the agreement.
Jon Lloyd, chief executive of UK Coal, said: "We believe there is significant opportunity to develop wind farms on parts of our land portfolio. By allying with Peel Energy, we are joining forces with one of the UK's most active and knowledgeable wind power companies.
"This will accelerate our alternative power business whilst maintaining total flexibility on the level of investment we make in it and without distracting us from our core mining and property development operations."
Peel is part of the same company which owns Manchester's Trafford Centre and Liverpool's John Lennon Airport. Steven Underwood, director of Peel Energy, added: "This agreement is an important step for Peel Energy, significantly expanding its onshore pipeline and gaining access to some of the UK's best potential windfarm locations."

The Kansas City Chiefs could be without pass-rushing linebacker Justin Houston when they begin training camp -- and perhaps when they begin the regular season.
Houston had ACL surgery in February and is expected to be sidelined 6-12 months, according to multiple reports.

Houston, 27, had 7.5 sacks and two interceptions in 2015 -- one season after leading the league with 22 sacks. He has been named to the past four Pro Bowls and was a First Team All Pro in 2014.
However, he missed the final five regular-season games in 2015 because of a knee injury before returning for the Chiefs' two playoff games.
Earlier this month, the Chiefs re-upped with fellow pass rusher Tamba Hali, who had 6.5 sacks last season and who has 86 sacks in his 10-season NFL career.

INSCAPE – American Aggregate
INSCAPE American Aggregate
- 5.0 DTSHD MA 24/192kHz
- 2.0 LPCM 24/192kHz
- 7.0 DTSHD MA 24/96kHz
Orginally recorded in: 24/192kHz

American Aggregate, the follow up to Inscape's GRAMMY® nominated debut album Sprung Rhythm on the Sono Luminus label, explores the rich and varied sounds of American music in the 21st century. From the mechanized world of our cities to the natural beauty of our landscapes, from the sounds of jazz and rock to indigenous folk music, the picture of contemporary classical music is revealing and diverse.
The works contained on this album reflect American culture, landscape, and environment as expressed through the distinctly American voices of seven young composers.
The album opens with Nathan Lincoln-DeCuasitis' Oblivion, a chamber symphony in three movements in which each movement is modeled on a specific sonic shape. Armando Bayolo's Wide Open Spaces was composed to address the concerns surrounding the impact of climate change. Dan Visconti's Black Bend begins with a spacious collage of distant, mournful sounds with the flavor of limpid summer landscape and the slow drawl of rural vernacular. From this texture a slow blues emerges and accelerates in a wailing frenzy, only to dissolve into nothingness as quickly as it materialized.
Julia Adolphe brings the ensemble Wordless Creatures, a work that imagines a community of small, scurrying characters moving through a series of scenes portrayed through shifting soundscapes. The Extraordinary Gryssandra Wycke by Joseph Hallman is the story of a young witch who is new to her powers and the world of witchcraft. The piece is composed as a tone poem that reflects the spells she learns and employs. Stephen Gorbos' What I Decided to Keep propels the CD forward with the influences of funk and progressive rock, drawing inspiration from Béla Bartók's 5th string quartet in its linear succession of events. Included on the Blu-ray disc and for digital download, Gregory Spears' new arrangement of The Bear and the Dove was commissioned to accompany Christopher Williams' choreographic staging of Prokofiev's ballet Trapeze at the Bard Spiegeltent.

After a series of successful singles ("Bounce Back", "Moves") Big Sean has released his fourth LP, I Decided. The album is the follow-up to his critically acclaimed Dark Sky Paradise, released two years ago this month.
Sean Don is looking to build on his status as one of rap's biggest hit makers, and he's already moving on that: "Bounce Back" was certified gold prior to the album release. There's a lot of eyes on the features of the album, which, in addition to Jeremih and The-Dream, include Eminem and Migos. "No Favors" is looking to be a Detroit spitter's anthem, with Sean and Em teaming up over production from WondaGurl.
I Decided represents a new front for Sean, who has said that this is his first full concept album, focusing on second chances and taking hold of the opportunities that life presents: "If this was your second chance, if this was your opportunity to get it right, and you looked at life that way every day, you might approach your mission in life a little differently". Hopefully the concept pays off, if so granting Sean with his second Number One album. Without further wait, listen to I Decided below!

Thylane Blondeau as she was
Although Thylane Blondeau is just 16 years old, she's all grown up in our eyes because the world was first introduced to her as a stunning little 4 year old. She started to win work for firms like Yves Saint Laurent when she was just 4 so no wonder the watching world started to call her the most beautiful girl on the planet.
She still works for IMG Models who can't find it difficult to get her work. This is the face that advertised L'Oreal for a while, and we reckon from these pictures that she really has a massive future in modelling now that she's grown up.

There could be a pitching duel between two up-and-coming young pitchers in the Windy City Tuesday night when Zach McAllister and the Cleveland Indians (8-10, 6-4 away) pay a visit to Jose Quintana and the Chicago White Sox (7-12, 4-5 home) in the second game of a three-game series from U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, IL at 8:10 ET.
The posted total at Bookmaker Sportsbook is 8 for this contest with the current odds on the 'under' set at -105.
The White Sox are struggling badly at the plate thus far, ranking an identical 27th in the Major Leagues in both runs scored at 3.32 per game and batting average at .229, and they have now lost four straight games after losing the series opener to the Indians 3-2 here at home last night while scoring a grand total of seven runs over the four losses and never exceeding three runs.
The pitching meanwhile has been there for the most part for Chicago as the White Sox rank fifth in the majors with a 3.33 team ERA, and thus the end result has been a lucrative 14-4-1 'under' record! That may not sit too well with the starting pitchers, but they have continued to go out and perform well, including tonight's young starter Quintana.
The 24-year-old southpaw from Columbia showed some signs of brilliance for the White Sox last season, and following a rough 2013 debut, Quintana has been magnificent while tossing 13.2 scoreless innings over his last two starts, allowing a paltry six hits in those outings with 14 strikeouts vs. two walks. Most recently the 1-0 Quintana tossed 6.2 scoreless innings while allowing just five hits vs. the Toronto Blue Jays to finally record his first victory.
His previous start came vs. these Indians on April 12th when he allowed only one measly hit over seven scoreless innings, but received no decision in a game Chicago ultimately lost 1-0. That was the second gem Quintana threw at the Tribe in two career starts against them, as he allowed two runs on only four hits in six innings in this ballpark last season.
The 25-year-old McAllister also pitched very well in stretches for Cleveland last year and his 1-2 record this season does not do him justice considering his 3.15 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, as he too has displayed very good command with 16 strikeouts vs. three walks in 17.1 innings. He has already faced the White Sox four times in his brief career and he has yet to allow more than two earned runs against them!
That includes one start this season on April 13th where McAllister got the win while limiting Chicago to one earned run on just five hits in 6.1 innings with six strikeouts while not walking a single batter. He figures to have continued success tonight vs. a White Sox lineup that is batting only .222 vs. right-handed pitchers this early season overall and .211 against them at home.
Thus, look for both hurlers to continue their fine starts and for the White Sox amazing string of 'unders' to continue.
MLB Pick: Indians, White Sox 'under' 8 (-105)
MLB Pick: Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox 'under' 8
There could be a pitching duel between two up-and-coming young pitchers in the Windy City Tuesday night when Zach McAllister and the Cleveland Indians (8-10, 6-4 away) pay a visit to Jose Quintana and the Chicago White Sox (7-12, 4-5 home) in the second game of a three-game series from U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, IL at 8:10 ET.

6 Dark-Horse Candidates to Make the New England Patriots' Final 53-Man RosterJuly 8, 2013
6 Dark-Horse Candidates to Make the New England Patriots' Final 53-Man Roster
Dark-horse candidates understand the value of chances. The best among them seize those rare chances and overachieve. They dazzle the coaches by outperforming the competition, they swipe roster spots from potentially bigger-name players, and they make themselves indispensable.
The New England Patriots collect those types of players. Guys like Tom Brady (drafted in the sixth round), David Givens (seventh round), Troy Brown (eighth round) and David Patten (undrafted) began as relatively unwanted merchandise, until they made the most of their opportunities and went on to become the audacious architects of a dynasty.
Before the newest generation of dark horses follow in the footsteps of legends and become heroes in their own right, they first need to make the team.
Here are six dark-horse candidates that could make the Patriots' final 53-man roster.
Kenbrell Thompkins, WR
If you've been following the early progress reports from New England's offseason activities, you've undoubtedly noticed Kenbrell Thompkins' name popping up on a nearly constant basis. The reason for that is simple: He's been seizing his opportunities, aggressively attacking the ball, hauling in tough catches and outperforming just about everyone.
Injuries to other receivers have certainly given Thompkins a greater platform to shine, but still, opportunity is almost always born from that sort of circumstance. The important thing is that he's capitalizing on it and making a name for himself.
Undrafted out of the University of Cincinnati, this kid boasts a solid frame (6'1", 190 lbs) with splendid footwork and deceptive quickness. He's a tenacious receiver, and he's already established himself as one of the top guys to beat at camp.
This kid is a quiet warrior building some very loud momentum. He's a dark horse circling a roster spot and getting ready to pounce.
Lavelle Hawkins, WR
In five years with the Titans, Lavelle Hawkins has displayed shades of terrific energy, nice speed and underrated power. Back in 2011, he made some noise with 47 catches for 470 yards. There's untapped potential here. He has a chance to explore that potential in New England with the greatest quarterback of all time.
Hawkins has already gotten the ball rolling on his roster spot, having staked his ground as one of the top performers of the team's spring workouts. He's been out there catching everything and stirring up some buzz. He's showing streaks of Deion Branch-type potential.
Ultimately, Hawkins' chances of making the roster will depend upon two things: his ability to stay hungry through camp and his willingness to steal a spot from someone else with a bigger name. Niceness won't get this done.
If this dark horse can get mean, he can swipe a roster spot.
Brandon Ford, TE
Undrafted out of Clemson, Brandon Ford is an exceptional tight end-receiver hybrid who stands tall at 6'3" and weighs 240 pounds. He balances that staggering frame with powerful legs and exhibits incredible tip-toe footwork and great reach on the field. His football IQ is excellent. He's a high-energy, high-character guy. He also had a great senior season with 40 catches for 480 yards and eight scores.
Ford's biggest obstacle on the horizon will be the roster battles at camp. Fellow undrafted tight end Zach Sudfeld certainly has a leg up, having already carved a reputation for himself with some stellar workouts this offseason. Still, though, there's time for Ford to make a legitimate run at a roster spot. His skill is too dynamic to ignore.
Don't be surprised if this dark horse wrestles a job away from a bigger-name tight end.
Steve Gregory, S
Steve Gregory made his presence known on the Patriots roster last year by tallying 37 tackles, five passes defended, three picks and a pair of forced fumbles. He also generated a memorable performance against the Jets on Thanksgiving night, registering a pick, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (one of which he ran for a 32-yard score).
Gregory's shot at a roster spot this season will, in part, hinge on what type of defensive backfield the Patriots are looking to build. If they're shooting for swift talent and refined skill, then Gregory will likely get forced out by quicker, younger defenders.
But, then again, the Patriots haven't had swift talent and refined skill in the secondary for years, which is why they've been scotch-taping it together with versatile misfits, blue-collar tough guys and worker bees. If they're duplicating that mood again, then Gregory could make it. He fits that mold. What he lacks in top-notch skill, he makes up for with excellent character and underrated toughness.
No matter what identity the Patriots choose for 2013, this much is true: Gregory's heading into camp as a major dark horse.
Kamar Aiken, WR
Earlier this offseason, when New England's receiving unit started crumbling, Kamar Aiken was one of the last men standing in the rubble. Amazingly, this 24-year-old is still standing pretty strong, even with all the added competition around him.
This kid's a football player. He isn't a star, but he's a football player. He's had practice-squad experience with the Bills, Bears and Patriots, giving him some professional know-how and discipline. He's already shown deep shades of skill during the offseason workouts, capitalizing on the open competition and establishing himself as a consistent performer with soft hands and nice speed.
If he can keep this sense of urgency going through camp, he'll likely be one of the last men standing again.
Mark Harrison, WR
Standing tall at 6'3" and weighing 235 pounds, undrafted rookie receiver Mark Harrison is an imposing animal. He's quick, mean, energetic, dynamic, creative, limber, dominating, exciting and fresh.
He finished his career at Rutgers with a total of 107 receptions for 1,769 yards and 18 touchdowns (including an impressive senior year with 44 catches for 583 yards and six scores). He also had an impressive showing at the combine, posting a 4.46-second showing at the 40, along with a 38.5-inch vertical and a 129-inch broad jump.
Harrison's style of play is absolutely relentless. Similar to Rob Gronkowski, he's a violent force of nature who uses his pure power to beat and shield defenders, carry tacklers on his back and dominate the red zone.
Harrison's foot injury has affected his stock and turned him into a dark horse, but if he can break out of that shadow and win the coaches over, he'll make this team.
This guy could be a star.

I have spent a lot of time searching through sample libraries. . . I know Jazz is one of the last frontiers with this technology, but I want the best and money is no object. Without wasting anybody\'s time, is there a resource or any guidance that you can offer as far as the best Jazz sample libraries currently in existence? I already have the VSL, DD, and many others, but I am looking for those samples that include different FX, articulations, flutters, falls, mutes, etc. that are inherently Jazz.

Startup repair didn't do a thing, I'm not sure it detected my installation of Windows 7?
Should I start a new thread for this issue?

It has to be for the startup repair to work.

Can you determine where the loud noise is coming from? It might be a fan bearing that's gone bad and can be replaced. But a loud mechanical sound other than a tone would never be the OS so Startup Repair is uncalled for.
But let's reset it to be sure it isn't something simple. Unplug power cable and battery, hold Power button down for 30 seconds, now plug back in both and try starting it. What happens?
Someone should have mentioned to back up any files you want from D before deleting it.

It's hard to describe. It's a constant, high pitched tone. "Screaming" was probably the wrong choice for a word. The hard drive itself makes the occasional clicking sound but it did that before, too.
Also, when I boot to the HDD, all I get (visually) is a blank command prompt, for lack of a better term. The little underscore-ish thing cycles through every space for a character. I haven't let it get to the bottom, yet.
Resetting had no effect (affect?). D: was a botched attempt at re-imaging, I didn't want to save anything.
Dell's built in diagnostics told me nothing is wrong.
I think I'm going to attempt to re-image the hard drive w/ a liveCD.

About "Merge Partition"
Merge Partition function helps users merge two adjacent partitions. It is noteworthy that this function only works for NTFS partitions. If the target partition is formatted with FAT12/FAT16/FAT32, please use "Convert FAT to NTFS" function of the software to convert partition to NTFS at first.
Note: The free edition of MiniTool Partition software does not support "merge partition". So please select professional edition or advanced editions for this support.You could also view the comparison of MiniTool partition software

Ubuntu keeps giving me errors, telling me that the disk is in use. Or is faulty. I got a good look at partitions, it seems there's a 256 MB partition (X?) and a 250 GB partition (C?) and no others. Ubuntu won't install, but LiveCD works fine. Is there anything I can/should do from here?

Test the hard drive with the maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan, followed by a full Disk Check done from the Win7 disk's System Recovery Options Command Line.

I've been meaning to try these EOS lip balms for ages now - so when I spotted one at BeautyMart in Harvey Nichols, I had to buy one. EOS stands for Evolution of Smooth, and this lipbalm is unique more for it's spherical shape than it's moisturising properties.
Inside the spherical pot, you get a rounded solid balm which can be used to moisturise the lips or to tame the brows, if you so choose. I think part of the hype around these is down to their shape; the curves make it easy to apply to both the upper and lower lips quickly and easily.
The balm does have a subtle scent and taste - this particular variety tastes and smells of honeydew melon, which is rather lovely. It's not a massively synthetic scent either, just sweet and fresh.
At £7, this is a bit of an expensive indulgence - and one which is a little bit more gimmick than it is essential innovation - but it makes a nice unusual gift for someone who likes a good balm. You'll find it in store at BeautyMart, and online in their online shop.

If you're a doll collector like I am, then it won't be surprising to know that it also doesn't matter if you spend a lot for the doll by buying it some accessories and furniture. And why not? Seeing that doll have its own things, seeing a miniature version of the house or the things you want for yourself is always fun and inspiring. As they say, visualize what you want and it might just happen. So, instead of just pinning some pieces of paper or words on a board, why not visualize your life through the use of doll furniture? It's a different way to get those ideas to life. If you want to check out some of the best doll furniture around you can visit www.epinions.com. Here are some of the best things I've found there:
Dollhouse, Dollhouse
Of course, you can't have every other furniture without something to put it in—that's where dollhouses come in. When I was a little girl, I always wanted to live in a dollhouse when I grow up—and I still dream of that. One of the best dollhouses I saw is the Melissa and Doug Victorian dollhouse. For only $99.99, you'd get a place where your doll and her things can stay. It's a beautiful, Victorian inspired abode. Perfect for visualizing your future.
The Princess And Her Bed
One of the nicest doll beds I've found is the 18 inch doll wish bunk bed furniture—a bunk bed with Pink stairs and Pink railings, soft cotton mattress and lovely Pink pillows. It's so cute I literally ordered right after I saw it—and I got it for only $69.00! There's also the 18 inch doll floral bunk bed—a Pale Pink bed with soft, floral prints, and white rails, hand-painted with flowers. It's definitely perfect for the dainty doll, and the dainty owner. Soft frocks are just always to-die-for. All that for only $69.99! It's definitely a cheap thrill! However, if you're willing to spend for your little princess, then why not check out the Doll house cream finish bunk bed by Acme? It's a very, very beautiful bunk bed, with a heart on its headboard, and is hand-painted with intricate details. You know, it's the kind of bed I'd want for myself or for my future kids. It's stylish, classy, and classic. There are also some pillows and stuffed toys included—it's so cute you'd really want to get your hands on it. It's worth $749.00, but trust me, it's so worth it. Sometimes, some splurges are just worth it, and this is one of those.
Filling Up Your Closet
Of course, a doll's life would not be complete without clothes and shoes. Just like the human fashionista, a doll needs her closet, as well. And nothing's more perfect than the Doll Wardrobe Armoire—it fits clothes/accessories for 18 inch dolls. It's classy and truly beautiful—and that's only for $139.00! I got it for my doll and just can't stop filling it up with clothes of different sizes and colors.
The Final Say
While some people might consider it crazy to give your doll clothes and furniture, I'd say otherwise—18 inch doll furniture kits are for people who know how to take care of their dolls and know how to give them the best they deserve.

Whether or not your children were able to make it to Sunday school, you can still engage them in this week's story. Please read the summary, look up the story online, in your bible, or a children's bible, and begin the discussion. Increasing your child's biblical knowledge will be foundational in their faith development. What a gift to provide a child. Adults also reap the benefit of digging in deeper to these stories.
God Calls
This week Sunday School focused on the reading from Genesis, God calling Abraham. Our 3rd-5th graders encountered it for the first time, while our younger children had read this story earlier and revisited it.
The focus this week was on God's directions to Abraham. God chose Abraham and Sarah to start his family. God's call to Abraham directed him to leave his home, and everything familiar, and travel to a new land, with no assurance other than God's word that all would be well. Abraham followed God's directions, even though it wasn't easy for him to do this. He trusted in God and his love for them.
God calls on us today to be a reflection of his teachings and the light of his church. This is often not easy for us either, but, like Abraham and Sarah, we need to have faith in God, and his love for us, and follow his directions.
Table Talk Questions
- What did God tell Abram and Sarai to do?
- How do you think Abram and Sarai felt about what God told them to do?
- What did God promise to Abram and Sarai?
- How did God show his love for Abram and Sarai?
- How do you think God's promises helped Abram and Sarai find the courage to make the journey to Canaan?
- What do you think God is telling us to do? What does he promise us?
- How does God show his love for us?
- What are some ways we can follow God's directions?

|LET US NOT LOSE HEART IN DOING GOOD, FOR IN DUE TIME WE WILL REAP IF WE DO NOT GROW WEARY: to de kalon poiountes (PAPMPN) me egkakomen, (1PPAS) kairo gar idio therisomen (1PFAI) me ekluomenoi. (PPPMPN): (us: Mal 1:13 1Co 15:58 2Th 3:13 Heb 12:3) (good: Ro 2:7 1Pe 2:15 3:17 4:19) (for: Lev 26:4 Dt 11:14 Ps 104:27 145:15 Jas 5:7) (if: Isa 40:30,31 Zeph 3:16 Mt 24:13 Lk 18:1 2Co 4:1,16 Eph 3:13 Heb 3:6,14 10:35, 36, 37, 38, 39 He 12:3,5 Rev 2:3,7,10,11,17,26, 27 28, 29 3:5,6,12,13 3:21,22)
Paul warns against becoming weary in well-doing ("sowing to the Spirit") and enforces his warning with a very powerful motive. Our present "business" as believers is to "do good." (Cf Jesus' charge in Lk 19:13KJV and His warning in Jn 9:4).
Many translations begin this sentence with an "and" but Vine draws our attention to the fact that the Greek word (de) which some versions translate as "and" can also be translated "but". Vine then comments that the contrast word "but" suggests…
Let us - Introduces an exhortation/encouragement the readers needed to hear and by way of application an encouraging word all believers need to hear. (See study of parakaleo for insights on the ministry of encouragement - something we all need… continually!)
Let us not lose heart - Clearly this indicates losing heart is a real possibility in all believers (note pronoun "us" = Paul includes himself in this "vulnerable" group). The verb lose heart is in the present tense which speaks of continuing action ("don't let losing heart be your continual response" is the idea).
John Brown adds that…
What is a good work? Is it not a good word (Pr 25:11, 15:23, Ep 4:29-note)? Words of encouragement are never out of season (cp He 3:13-note, He 10:24, 25-note)-- Luke records that after Paul and Barnabas (son of consolation, rest or encouragement) had proclaimed the gospel and saw many conversions, they went about…
In light of the afflictions the saints at Thessalonica were experiencing (1Th 1:6-note, 1Th 2:14-note, 2Th 1:4) Paul wrote…
As R C H Lenski says "sowing to the Spirit"…
John Eadie on Gal 6:9-10
Lose heart (1573) (ekkakeo [word study] [equivalent to egkakeo, enkakeo] from ek = out of or intensifies meaning + kakós = bad) means to strictly speaking means to act or behave badly in some circumstance. This verb has several nuances as discussed below and taken together, these senses help paint a picture of what Paul was trying to say in this section. John Brown adds that the nuances include "to turn a coward, to be faint hearted, to despond." (Ref)
On one hand, ekkakeo can describe giving in to evil. On the other hand, it can convey the idea of becoming weary or tired of doing something. In some contexts, ekkakeo even means to be a coward and/or lose one's courage.
Vine adds that Paul's
Ekkakeo was used of the farmer who was tempted to slacken his exertions because he had become so weary as a result of his prolonged effort.
Ekkakeo means to lose one's motivation in continuing a particular activity.
Ekkakeo means to be fainthearted or to faint or despond in view of trial or difficulty and it is always used with the negative particle. It means to lose one's motivation to accomplish some valid goal and so to become discouraged and give up.
Ekkakeo conveys the idea of becoming exhausted and giving up and thus is the opposite of being "steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord" (1Co 15:58-note).
Jesus knew the weakness of our flesh and the natural tendency to lose heart in doing good and so to encourage His hearers to persevere in prayer Luke records…
Paul exhorts the Corinthians…
Continuing on in Second Corinthians, Paul declares a truth that should strengthen and encourage each of us to not lose heart…
Rienecker writes that ekkakeo
Warren Wiersbe writes that…
We're always sowing seeds in life
While Paul repeatedly emphasizes that one cannot win God's favor by good deeds (see study of), on the other hand he never tires of calling them to do good deeds. Indeed (pun intended), good deeds are one of the purposes for our salvation and also one of the clearest indicators our faith is genuine…
Saints are made adequate and equipped for good works by God's Word…
How are we to produce "good deeds?" Consider the fruit tree. It is not "conscious" of the bearing process. We are to be like the fruit tree for it is God Who is causing fruit be borne in good works which blossom and ripen as we walk in Spirit enabled obedience to His will which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Jesus mentions good deeds in His warning of the coming judgment of the living and the dead (Jn 5:24, 25, 2Ti 4:1-note)
Paul reiterates this in his letter to the Romans warning that the Righteous Judge (Ps 7:11, 2Ti 4:8)…
The writer of Hebrews exhorts believers "do not neglect doing good and sharing; for with such sacrifices God is pleased" (He 13:16-note) so that good works are actually "spiritual sacrifices" that we offer to God (Heb 13:15-note)!
One way to think of doing good works is to see it as a process, so that in salvation God does work for us, in sanctification He does work in us and in service He does work through us and bears fruit which will be harvested in due time and will remain forever. God builds character before He calls to service. He must work in us before He can work through us. God spent 25 years working in Abraham before He gave him the promised son Isaac.
John Calvin wrote that "It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone."
We are not saved by faith plus good works, but by a faith that works. Any profession of faith that does not result in a changed life and good works is a spurious profession. True saving faith can never exist by itself, for genuine faith brings supernatural life, and that life produces supernatural good works. The person with dead faith has only an intellectual experience. In his mind, he knows the doctrines of salvation, but he has never submitted himself to God and trusted Christ for salvation. He knows the right words, but he does not back up his words with his works. Faith in Christ brings eternal life right now (John 3:16), and where there is life there will be fruit. (cf James 2:17-note)
Many believers minimize the place of good works in the Christian life reasoning that because we are not saved by good works, then good works are something to be shunned. But our Lord reminds us that our incredible privilege is to
It is not only by words that we give testimony to the greatness of God, but also by our works. Our good works in fact pave the way for witness with good words. If our walk contradicts our words, we lose our testimony. Our "walk" and our "talk" must agree. Good works and good words must come from the same yielded heart. Too many believers today emphasize guarding the truth, but downplay living the truth. One of the best ways to guard the truth is to put it into practice. It is good to be defenders of the faith, but we must not forget to be demonstrators of the faith by letting them see our good works!
You are writing a Gospel,
A chapter each day,
By the deeds that you do
And the words that you say.
Men read what you write,
Whether faithful or true:
Just what is the Gospel
According to you?
--- Author unknown
When doing good works, also remember that the following question is irrelevant "Does this person deserve my good works?" We are to "abound to every good work" (NIV, 2Cor 9:8).
Please do not misunderstand. Believers do not manufacture these good works but instead they are the fruit of God's Spirit working in our heart for as Paul reminds us in (Php 2:13-note)
Paul acknowledges that the key to his good works was the grace of God which made him adding that God's
Peter writes
Thus our good works serve as testimonies to the lost and even win us the right to be heard.
In sum, all of these truths about good works indicate that God has a plan for our lives and that we should walk in His will and fulfill His plan. If you'd like some additional study on the topic of "good works (deeds)" study the following passages -- Good works = Matt 5:16; John 10:32; Eph 2:10; 1 Tim 2:10; 5:10; 6:18. Good deeds = John 5:29; Titus 2:7, 14; 3:8, 14; Heb 10:24; 1Pet 2:12
Good deeds are God deeds, deeds prepared by, initiated by and empowered by the Spirit of Christ, Who lives in us. As such these "supernaturally" energized deeds are designed to glorify our Father (Mt 5:16-note).
See related resource by A W Pink - The Scriptures and Good Works
Paul emphasized the principle that good deeds flow from "ready" vessels, writing that
Don't let the opportunities slip by. Be "confessed up", "repented up" and "filled up" with the Holy Spirit and you will be ready to recognize and redeem the opportunities God graciously gives. Remember though that although we are to be seen doing good works, we must not do good works in order to be seen! (Always consider pausing a moment for a "motive check", even asking God if you are unsure, because of 1Cor 4:5!) Oswald Chambers alluded to the necessary supernatural aspect of good deeds writing that we should seek to…
Good deeds are not the root of salvation, but they are the fruit of genuine salvation (cf Mt 3:8; Ep 2:10-note). Spurgeon put it this way…
Peter explained the vital importance of good deeds in a godless society exhorting us to
Thomas Adams phrased it this way…
Martin Luther in his preface to his comments on Romans wrote…
As alluded to in the preceding section, one must be careful to notice that the phrase good deeds differs from your deeds. In other words, the only truly "good" deeds are those borne by believers ("branches") abiding in Christ ("the Vine" Jn 15:5). Good deeds then simply reflect Christ's life flowing through them, initiated, such deeds being energized by His Spirit (cp Php 2:13-note) and bringing glory to His Father (Mt 5:16-note).
Paul reminded the Corinthian church of this foundational principle regarding good deeds, explaining that
Paul acknowledged that the key to his good works was the grace of God writing that His
In his first letter to the Corinthians Paul emphasized that
Barnes adds that
Spurgeon in his devotional entitled Unprofitable Servants notes that…
Good (2570) (kalos [word study]) describes that which is inherently excellent or intrinsically good, providing some special or superior benefit with a basic meaning healthy, sound or fit. Kalos is intrinsically good with emphasis on that which is beautiful (Lk 21:5), handsome, excellent, surpassing, precious, commendable, admirable. In classic Greek kalos was originally used to describe that which outwardly beautiful.
Lenski on good ( = excellent)…
For - Paul explains why we should not lose heart. He is saying there will be "payday someday." And the charge to keep on keeping on is motivated by the prospect of future reward. This encouraging word about a "payday someday" brings to mind John Wesley's exhortation to
"Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can,
to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."
Due time - The appointed season. The proper season. The due season. Proper time. Fruit is reaped in a season that follows the sowing, but it is ultimately the time of God's appointment which "is neither to be hastened nor delayed by the act of any of His creatures." (Vine)
Vincent adds that due time is "In the season which is peculiarly the harvest-time of each form of well-doing."
Do a deed of simple kindness,
Morris explains that…
John Eadie…
In due time (KJV = season, kairos = season in Gal 4:10) (2540) (kairos [word study]) means a point of time or period of time, frequently with the implication that the period of time is especially suited for something. Kairos is not so much a succession of minutes (Greek chronos = 5550), but a period during which there exists an opportunity. Chronos refers to chronological time, to clock time or calendar time, to a general space or succession of time. Kairos, on the other hand, refers to a specific and often predetermined period or moment of time and so views time in terms of events, eras, or seasons. In other words, kairos defines the best time to do something, the moment when circumstances are most suitable, the psychologically "ripe" moment ("the suitable time", "the right moment", "the convenient time").
Someone has well said that the reason some people don't recognize opportunity is that it usually comes disguised as hard work. I once heard a teacher say that man's adversity is often the door leading to God's opportunity and there is undoubtedly some truth to that statement. It is interesting if true (I don't know Chinese so cannot confirm this statement definitively) that the Chinese symbols for crisis are identical to those for the word opportunity. Literally translated the Chinese word reads "Crisis is an opportunity riding the dangerous wind." Billy Graham said that "Today's world is said to be multiplying crises all around us. But we must never forget that, for the gospel, each crisis is an opportunity."
Chuck Swindoll adds that "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations (Ed: Crisis)."
John Stott makes the point that…
John Brown put it
Reap (2325) (therizo from théros = summer, harvest time ~ time of harvests) conveys the picture of cutting ripe grain and gathering the bundles together. To reap, to harvest.
But what is that we will harvest we will reap for sowing the "seed" of well doing? Paul does not give us specifics. He only guarantees a sure return on our investment, relying on that certainty to motivate us to seize the opportunities God gives.
John Stott offers his educated guess that the "reward in heaven for faithful service… will probably take the form of yet more responsible service." (Ed: See Mt 25:21)
The tissues of the life to be
Jesus encourages His followers with the promise that…
Similarly Paul also offers us these words of exhortation…
John writing in the context of his admonition against false teachers (2Jn 1:7) warned…
Vine writes that…
Life Application Commentary…
Warren Wiersbe writes that…
If we do not grow weary (literally "not fainting") - This is the "condition" for the reward. Notice that Paul uses "we" thus identifying himself as also subject to this condition. The promise is that we will reap "provided that we faint not" in our well-doing. Paul recognizes that crops are not immediate but may grow slowly, and thus adds this exhortation to not give up! While we may see some of the harvest in this present life (cp 2Ti 2:6-note where "crops" = fruit), we need to look with eyes of faith (2Co 5:7, 4:18,1Ti 4:8-note) to see the harvest which endures throughout eternity (cp "fruit" that remains in Jn 15:16). It takes faith and patience to sow to the Spirit, but God promises the harvest in due season.
Grow weary (1590)(ekluo [word study] from ek = out or intensifier + luo = to loose) means literally to loosen out and to to untie, to dissolve, to release, to set free. To be unstrung as a bow string that has become unstrung and so weakened (and unusable for its intended purpose!) To be loosened or relaxed, like the limbs of the weary. Ekluo was used to describe reapers who had been overcome by heat and toil. Aristotle used ekluo to describe an athlete collapsing on the ground after he has surged past the finish line--what an interesting usage considering that the Christian life is often pictured as race to be run, finished and won! (Acts 20:24, 1Co 9:25, Php 3:13-note, Php 3:14-note, 2Ti 2:5-note, 2Ti 4:7-note, 2Ti 4:8-note, Heb 12:1-note, Heb 12:2-note)
In the present context ekluo means to become disheartened or discouraged, losing the motivation and/or desire to accomplish the goal--God's will of doing good! Ekluo is in the present tense which speaks of continuing action ("don't continue to be 'unstrung', weary, overcome by the task at hand" is the idea). Adoniram Judson once said that "The motto of every missionary (Beloved we are all "missionaries" where God has us placed!), whether preacher, printer, or schoolmaster, ought to be "Devoted for life."
Just live your life before your Lord,
Ekluo - 5x in 5v - Mt 15:32; Mk 8:3; Gal 6:9; Heb 12:3, 5. NAS = faint(3), grow weary(1), lose(1).
Morris adds that grow weary is relax noting that…
John Eadie notes that ekluo is a stronger verb than ekkakeo…
John Brown sounds an important caution in his comments on this section, noting that…
Harry Ironside commenting on "in due time (season) we will reap if we do not grow weary"…
John Piper has a very interesting take on what Paul is saying in Galatians 6:8-9…
Galatians 6:9 says,
"Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart."
It doesn't mean, of course, that you can never stop one job and start another. If you ask what the well-doing is that we must not tire of, probably the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22f. is the best answer: don't grow weary of being patient and kind and good and faithful and gentle and self-controlled. Don't grow weary of manifesting your peace and joy in all kinds of acts of love to your neighbors and associates and family. In short, don't lose heart in spending yourself through love, because if you do, the works of the flesh take over, and Paul says in Gal 5:21,
"Those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom."
Or, as Paul says in 6:8, if you stop sowing to the Spirit and sow to your own flesh, you will not reap eternal life, but eternal corruption.
"What is at stake in this text is eternal life"
This is very controversial. Let it sink in. What is at stake in this text is eternal life; not merely sanctification, but also final salvation. Whether you go to heaven or whether you go to hell depends in some way on whether you grow weary in well-doing or not. The text is addressed to the church. Listen carefully, and note how the thought moves from verse 8 to verse 9: "He who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not (therefore!) grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart." You will reap eternal life, if you sow to the Spirit, that is, if you don't grow weary in well-doing. Because of texts like these I understand my role as a pastor-teacher to be not merely a means to your sanctification, but also a means to your salvation. This text is written to help bring the saints of Galatia to final salvation, eternal life. Therefore, a sermon from this text to the saints at Bethlehem should also aim to help bring you to final salvation or eternal life.
This view of preaching is widely rejected both in our Conference and throughout Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism. I got a letter last year from a retired Conference pastor which closed like this: "In conclusion: We find, then, that a pastor's ministry is limited to a believer's state and not his standing. Therefore, our security and deliverance from the penal consequences of sin do not in any way have a relationship to a pastor's preaching." Over against that extremely widespread view of preaching, I appeal to your own insight into Galatians 6:8 and 9. Should I, as your pastor-teacher, deliver to you Paul's message? Should I speak to you the way the apostle spoke to the churches of Galatia? Is not the "corruption" of verse 8 the final penal consequence of sin? Is not "eternal life" in Galatians 6:8 the freedom from this consequence of sin? And is not our experience of the one or the other dependent in some way on whether we sow to the Spirit and don't grow weary in well-doing? And if so, ought not a pastor believe that his message from this text may be the divinely appointed means of causing God's children to persevere to the end in well-doing and so inherit eternal life?
My goal in life is to be a faithful teacher of God's Word for the good of his people and the glory of his name. I don't see how I could be faithful to this text and not tell you that if you grow weary in well-doing and lose heart, you will not reap eternal life. If you forsake the Spirit and rely on the flesh, you will reap corruption. (Cf. Ro 8:13) (Read Piper's full message - Do Not Grow Weary in Well-Doing )
A PREACHER who was growing weary in the ministry had a dream. He saw himself pounding away at a huge chunk of granite with a pickax. It was his job to break it into small pieces. But as hard as he tried, he couldn't chip off even a tiny piece. At last, tired and disappointed, he decided to give up.
Telephone Poles Don't Move — A woman gave her teenage son a used automobile. The youth enjoyed racing the car around curves so he could hear the tires squeal. One morning his car skidded and smashed into a telephone pole. The boy was thrown through the windshield and was rushed to a hospital. When his pastor reached the hospital, the boy's mother was frantic. She grasped the pastor's hands in hers and exclaimed, "Why would God let this happen?"
The tissue of the life to be
Are You Weary? — I read a story about a pastor of a small, rural church in Scotland. He had been forced out by his elders, who claimed they saw no fruit from his ministry. The village in which the pastor served was a difficult place. People's hearts were cold and hostile to the truth. During the time the pastor served, there had been no conversions and no baptisms. But he did recall one positive response to his preaching.
Keep me faithful, keep me grateful,
Never Give Up! — As Hitler was mounting his attack against England during World War II, Winston Churchill was asked to speak to a group of discouraged Londoners. He uttered an eight-word encouragement: "Never give up! Never, never, never give up!"
What's required is dogged endurance, keeping at the task of obedience through the ebbs and flows, ups and downs, victories and losses in life. It is trying again, while knowing that God is working in you to accomplish His purposes (Philippians 1:6; 2:13). It is persistently pursuing God's will for your life till you stand before Him and your work is done.
God is wonderfully persistent too. He will never, never, never give up on you! — by David H. Roper (Our Daily Bread, Copyright RBC Ministries, Grand Rapids, MI. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved)
O Lord, You are faithful and always will be,
Don't Be Discouraged — "Why are you throwing away those nice potatoes, Grandpa?" asked my young grandson. I was planting potatoes in my garden, and he thought it was a waste to bury them. So I had an opportunity to explain to him that only as we give the seed away can we receive the harvest.
Day by day perform your mission,
The Joy of Harvest— It is one of those rare, beautiful autumn days as I am writing this article. I am sitting on a cement block in my shirt sleeves, admiring the labor of my hands. I have just picked 10 bushels of Red Delicious apples from my two small trees.
The joy to come with harvest grain
GOD'S MYSTERIOUS WAYS - After years of service in South Africa, the famous missionary Robert Moffat returned to Scotland to recruit helpers. When he arrived at the church one cold wintry night, he was dismayed that only a small group had come out to hear him. What bothered him even more was that the only people in attendance were ladies. Although he was grateful for their interest, he had hoped to challenge men. He had chosen as his text Proverbs 8:4, "Unto you, O men, I call."
Moffat never ceased to wonder that his appeal which he had intended for men had stirred a young boy, who eventually became a mighty power for God. - H. G. Bosch (Our Daily Bread, Copyright RBC Ministries, Grand Rapids, MI. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved)
THE THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM - In due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart (Galatians 6:9).
In a manufacturing town in Scotland, a young lady began teaching a Sunday school class of poverty-stricken boys. The most unpromising youngster was a boy named Bob. After the first two or three Sundays, he did not return. So the teacher went to look for him. Although the superintendent had given Bob some new clothes, they were already worn and dirty when the teacher found him. He was given another new suit, and he came back to Sunday school. But soon he quit again, and the teacher went out once more to find him. When she did, she discovered that the second set of clothes had gone the way of the first.
They gave Bob a third suit of clothes, and this time he began to attend faithfully. It wasn't long until he became a Christian and eventually even taught in that same Sunday school.
Who was that obstinate, ragged boy who for a time seemed so unreachable? None other than Robert Morrison, who later became the first Protestant missionary to China. He translated the Bible into Chinese and brought the Word of God to teeming millions.
A. B. Simpson said,
In service for Christ, keep "doing good." Perseverance wins! - H. G. Bosch (Our Daily Bread, Copyright RBC Ministries, Grand Rapids, MI. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved)

jumanji I'm also trying to understand. Please let me know if I understand correctly.
Once I initialize a drive all it does is wright a MBR code to the front of the drive. Nothing else if I stop at that point.
At that time I will be able to access that drive and all of its partition if their are any.
Does this apply to a C drive (Windows drive) and or a data drive?

jumanji I'm also trying to understand. Please let me know if I understand correctly.
Once I initialize a drive all it does is wright a MBR code to the front of the drive. Nothing else if I stop at that point.
At that time I will be able to access that drive and all of its partition if their are any.
Does this apply to a C drive (Windows drive) and or a data drive?
When the drive is initialised, it not only writes the MBR code but also zeroes the partition table.( though we say it only writes the MBR or MBR Code)
However one can always rewrite the Partition Table with Partition Wizard if the partitions existed and the partition table got eliminated when initialising.
( In OP's case no partition could be found and therefore data recovery becomes a necessity. Initialisation is recommended so as to bring the drive online and PhotoRec running on Windows can see an online drive.)
Strictly speaking, no MBR is needed for data drives since they need not boot. However those will still need Windows Disk Signature and Boot Record signature - which are considered part of the MBR code.
This will be seen in the following screenshot, where I zeroed Sector 0 in the external drive eliminating the MBR Code and partition table. Partition Recovery Wizard then found the partition and wrote into sector 0. Drive accessible now only with Windows Disk Signature and Boot Record Signature and of course the Partition Table, all written by PW.
Windows however will always write the full MBR Code to all drives sans the partition table. Partition Table gets written only when one creates new volumes. Even at this stage no data will be lost since the partition table is written into sector 0.
The final point: if one saves sector 0 (512Bytes) for all his MBR drives using bootice, he only needs to restore it with bootice when Sector 0 gets corrupted and the drive becomes inaccessible. This is a simple procedure for all data drives.

Windows 8
You're right; I must've read about it someplace else. Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive explanation! I feel a bit smarter now :-p
I've initialized the disk and as you said, it is now Basic and Online. However, there is still no drive letter. Is this ok?
Furthermore; I've read the guide and your documentation on using the PhotoRec software. The question is, what happens if I don't have enough drive space for the recovered files? I have about 1.5TB of data to be recovered, and my spare disk only have about 500gb left..
|My System Specs
|27 Dec 2014
You can't assign a drive letter unless you create a volume but we are not going to create a new volume. So do not bother about a drive letter.
I just wanted it to be brought online so that Windows sees the drive (and not blind to it) and PhotoRec running on Windows sees a drive online.
PhotoRec will straight away start copying the files to the destination. I think it will stop copying if it runs out of space but I really do not know :). In any case I would not recommend copying to any space in your system drive.
You can run PhotoRec any number of times safely since there is no way you can go wrong and it does not write anything to the drive under recovery even if you do mistakes in the procedure.
You may wait till you get the adequate capacity external drive to copy all at one go without fear.
Did you find out whether PhotoRec can deal with the video file formats in your external drive?

With a little help from my friends.
The second hour was about to begin and the room has already some visitors in it. In this ESL classroom the doors are open for anybody who wants to give some help. The students here are from different parts of the world, this is reflected in; different L1, cultural background, ages and English levels. The visitors in this clasroom are some American students from the same high scool.
The class starts, Ms. Ross gives the instructions: Students have to go to the bookcase, pick up a book and begin reading it. The visitors help students; Reading with them, helping them with the pronunciation of some words or just listening to these beginners English learners.
Then, the students have to write about what have they read. The information required was: Name of the book, what it was about, name of the author, what you liked about the book and who you read with.
The effectiveness of the activity was proved when Ms. Ross checked what the students have read. Everybody has something to say about their books.
I think that this activity is learner-centered. Students worked almost by themselves; They chose what to read (content meaningful for them), which is also motivating for them, and later develop the questions about the book. The teacher here is just an observer of what is happening in the classroom.
In this activity, we can also see the importance of social interaction in learning a language. The students have the opportunity to receive feedback from English speakers who were from their same level age, rather than just from the teacher. This activity was very personalized, each student can work with someone individually.

I wondered as I was reading your case--do you do such reading activities in Chile? Is reading instruction very different there? One thing that I was taught was this: When you walk into a 'reading' classroom, it should look like you have walked into a 'discussion' classroom. Do you agree?

HNWI Asset Allocation in Mexico
Press Release • Jun 25, 2013 11:45 IST
As well as this, Mexican HNWIs outperformed the worldwide HNWI average between
2007 and 2012 with the total number rising by 32% while worldwide HNWI volumes
declined by 0.3%.
In 2012, Mexican HNWI numbers rose by 15.7%, following a moderate growth of 0.4% in 2011. This strong growth in HNWI wealth and volumes is expected to continue and grow by 47% to reach 213,000 in 2017. HNWI wealth will also see a larger percentage increase, growing by 54% to reach US$1.1 trillion.
In 2012, real estate was the largest asset class for HNWIs in Mexico, accounting for 45% of total HNWI assets. This was followed by business interests with 17.5%, equities with 14.5%, fixed income with 12.3%, cash with 6.0% and alternatives with 5.1%. Of this, fixed income products recorded they strongest growth between 2008 and 2012, driven by a flight to safety during the financial crisis.
Compared to worldwide norms, real estate allocations in Mexico were high whilst equity allocations were low. Research actually showed that, at the end of 2012, 44% of Mexican HNWIs had second homes abroad.
At the end of 2012, Mexican HNWIs held 21.9% (US$161 billion) of their wealth outside their home country, compared to 23.2% (US$124 billion) in 2007. It is expected that foreign asset holdings will reach US$234 billion by 2017 when they will account for 21% of total HNWI assets. This is in line with the worldwide norm of between 20% and 30%. Further to this, in 2012, North America, including the Caribbean, made up 69% of the foreign assets of Mexican HNWIs. This was followed by Europe with 13.0%, Asia-Pacific with 9.1%, Latin America with 7.4%, Africa with 1.1% and the Middle East with 0.3%.

It is desirable to obey a daily routine of grooming: this is an effective solution to bond with your dog, besides taking good care of his fur.
Daily brushing removes any parasite that your pet may have brought a walk, dirt and dead hair. Choose a toothbrush created for dogs like yours which is suitable because of their size and form of hair.
The grooming is also a good chance to scrutinize the hooves, eyes, ears and teeth of your pet.
Cut on Nail
Nails is not going to grow too if your dog tends to walk on hard surfaces like sidewalks usually. But otherwise, you may have to cut the nails from time to time to walk comfortably. Ask your veterinarian or a professional dog groomer to explain you.
Eyes and ears
Ears and eyes of your dog must be clean. You are able to clean the region around the eyes with gauze. Do the same but be cautious not to get inside, Inside is a very sensitive area.
Teeth and gums
Gums and teeth of your dog require attention that could not be easy to give can learn how to brush your dog in our section. After six months, it is possible to help prevent difficulties with Pedigree Daily Dentastix, which can be clinically proven to decrease the accumulated up to 80% tartar from gums and teeth.
Dogs with curly coat, such as terriers and Poodle, want a haircut every 6 to 8 weeks. Dogs with soft coat, as the Cocker Spaniel, need a haircut every three months.

- Deliver a 'snap shot' of the key issues that emerged from the co-design sessions held with representatives from GM VCSE Equalities organisations and a joint stakeholder event with Greater Manchester Health & Social Care & VCSE colleagues in the latter part of 2017.
- The presentation of a proposed Action Plan to delegates which will give a sense of 'what's to come next' in relation to the Equalities and Health Agenda in GM as well as outlining the opportunities available to the Greater Manchester VCSE sector to support and become engaged with ongoing work to address inequalities in health and social care.
Whilst this Assembly will be of interest to delegates who attended either of the previous Equalities events held in 2017, this event is also open to all VCSE organisations across Greater Manchester, particularly those who work with and represent people from demographic groups who are disproportionately affected by health inequalities e.g. disabled people, refugees and asylum seekers.
