It is a new year, a new you and you are looking for a way to redefine yourself through your living space. Fortunately, the new trends for 2020 are more comfortable and don't let you sit in a room that feels like you have been designed for an office. If you're wondering what kind of changes to make in the living room to create a different atmosphere for the New Year, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Comfort versus slim
The trend for many of the living room styles coming this year is a pleasantly modern look, but not necessarily a room that looks untouched. You want to find a balance between the new modern and at the same time improve the aspects that make the room appear like an inviting place to chat. If you have two full sofas that contrast with each other, the contrasting / soothing feeling of 2020 will keep up as long as you have placed them appropriately in the work area.
You may want to customize it Impression of your room even with a simple paint job. The 2020 colors that will be some of the highlights of the year are your classic blue, white, and off-black colors. All of this can create a calming feeling in its own way and offer a different perspective depending on your decision. Terracotta-colored walls are also becoming fashionable, and you can pull out the drop sheets to further change the atmosphere. The terracotta color palette makes the room feel particularly warm and cozy.
Rethink your zone and furniture layout
Think about how your room works now and whether it feels a bit too modern or even overloaded, and possibly vary the layout of the room. When designing the base, think of natural light, depending on what activities are taking place here. If the sun shines on someone's face while trying to chat on the couch, it doesn't seem to be a very refreshing area. Set up your furniture according to your plan so that your room has a calming effect. If you have slimmer side tables, you should take a look at something that derives a little more from this New Year aesthetic. If you don't think your living room looks the way you want it, check out some furniture styles for the current year. The Furniture from America retailers has an inventory that includes this type of style. Online resources save you a trip to the showroom.
Multipurpose furniture is the key
A small coffee table, which also serves as a footstool or even as an additional seat, offers the possibility of creating functionality in your living room without losing space. The modern, comfort-style living room is designed to bring this type of functionality to the table (unintended pun) while making a bold statement. Mindful works of art / furniture and minimalism are becoming a popular way of thinking when it comes to furniture. Our busy everyday lives leave little room to feel overcrowded when we get home, and multifunctional furniture complements this mindful state.
Not just rezone, but reorganize
Even if you change the overall layout of your living room, it may be too much of a challenge if everything is included to make it look minimal. Take a full inventory of everything that is used / stored in your living room and check whether you really need it or not. The minimalist style This is surely a step to consider when changing furniture rooms or offering unused furniture to charities. If you reduce the clutter for yourself, you have an open space and an open mind for the new year.
Remember, the new year is all about comfort versus modernization. Remember this when you are thinking about buying a new future and how to set up your living room. If you're thinking about a paint job, classic blue and white are in, but burnt orange and hunter green are some popular accent colors that blend into your design. Change your living room to change your current mood. This makes you feel much more comfortable in the room. If you are thinking of buying additional furniture, you can even take some multifunctional items with you that will give you a minimalist mentality. As in every new year, it helps you to develop this mood when you get rid of the old to make room.

An epidemic of obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) in Bangladesh seriously affects millions of people in Bangladesh. OCD is characterized by obsessions or compulsions that are performed to reduce anxiety. OCD Treatment in Bangladesh is becoming more effective day by day.
In the early stages of OCD, obsessions are often bizarre and distressing, but they can become more common and irrational as the Disorder progresses. OCD is often accompanied by depression, anxiety, and remorse.
According to a study published in the journal "PLoS ONE," Bangladeshi people have a significantly higher rate of OCD than the rest of the world. The survey conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh, found that 9% of people with OCD in Bangladesh had no other nervous system problems. In comparison, 9% of people who didn't have OCD had a history of a nervous system disorder.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a mental disorder that involves unwanted, repetitive, and intrusive thoughts, impulses, or images. Obsessions are thought patterns, urges, or images that arouse interest.
For Example, Unwanted thoughts and urges to carry out specific behaviors, such as hand washing, counting, or repeating words or phrases, over and over.
Besides the obvious OCD, what else is there to know about Bangladesh? There are several types of OCD, the most common being hoarding, but there are many more. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a mental health condition typically manifests as a common thought or behavior that someone cannot stop.
Types of OCD
Not all people who suffer from obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) have the same type of Disorder. The symptoms of each Disorder vary significantly from person to person. However, the forms of OCD are the same. They include:
- Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive Disorder
- Body dysmorphic disorder
- Germ phobia
- Trichotillomania
- Tic disorder
- Hoarding syndrome
- Ritualistic eating disorder
- Hair-pulling Disorder
- Skin picking disorder.
Effects of OCD in Bangladesh
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may be a severe and debilitating mental disorder that causes severely impaired quality of life. The target of the study was to assess the standard of lifetime of the patients affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Using a purposive sampling technique, a cross-sectional study was wasted from January 2011 to June 2011 among 46 patients who attended the National Institute of psychological state Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Most respondents (71.7%) were male, 63.0% were unmarried, and 34.8% were students.
Patients were least satisfied with the social domain, and those with only obsession had a lower mean score (23.54±1.80) in the environmental field than those with obsession and compulsion (25.15±3.70).
OCD patients having major conflict (52.2%) were least satisfied with the environmental health domain, and patients affected by OCD for quite ten years (78.3%) had low scores than those suffering for fewer than ten years (21.7%) overall quality of life domain.
Patients having strained kinship (34.8%) were less satisfied with the psychological health domain, and patients getting medication (91.3%) had a better quality of life altogether domains than those getting no prescription (8.7%).
Treatment for Each Type of OCD
Psychotherapy can help recover some people avoid the disruptive behaviors linked to obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD). In addition, aIn addition, a replacement study suggests that brain scans can help spot those patients for whom the therapy will be best.
The treatment is named cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). It works by gradually placing patients in controlled situations exposed to anxiety-causing stimulation to learn to deal better with these situations.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is very effective in many cases. However, the treatment is costly, time-consuming, difficult for patients, and unavailable in many areas of Bangladesh.
Brain scans might point to patients with the right to realize CBT. The notion has some merit, said one expert, especially since more reliable treatment is required for people affected by OCD.
Remember: Counseling/Psychotherapy and medication are the most effective treatment for OCD in Bangladesh. So, if you want relief, you need these two combined treatments.
Ocd treatment cost may not exceed 1000tk the first time with professional fees. If you take treatment from any government hospital, you can also get free doctors'/psychologists' fees and medicine.

We all know that OCD is a very disabling disorder with a chronic waxing and waning course. It is associated with a lot of stigmas, misunderstandings, and maltreatment.
In Bangladesh, there are not enough resources and specialists to provide OCD treatment for the people. There are only a few OCD treatment Centres in Bangladesh. OCD Clinic, BSMMU is the major one. Besides this, some other psychiatrists practice privately in different places. The overall condition of OCD treatment in Bangladesh is not so satisfactory. After all, the people of Bangladesh are not so concerned about it.
Having mental health problems has become a very pressing issue in our country. Therefore the Government of Bangladesh has implemented various projects to make people aware of the treatment of mental health problems.

Hi Guys,
Today,I will learn you how to add debugbar in laravel using barryvdh/laravel-debugbar. we will show enable debugbar in laravel. This is a package to integrate PHP Debug Bar with Laravel. It includes a ServiceProvider to register the debugbar and attach it to the output. You can publish assets and configure it through Laravel. It bootstraps some Collectors to work with Laravel and implements a couple custom DataCollectors, specific for Laravel.
Step 1: Install barryvdh/laravel-debugbar
Now, We will install barryvdh/laravel-debugbar package using below command.Require this package with composer. It is recommended to only require the package for development.
composer require barryvdh/laravel-debugbar --dev
Laravel uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider.
After The Debugbar will be enabled when APP_DEBUG is true.
Step 2: Add providers and aliases
We will add below providers and aliases in the "config/app.php" file.
'providers' => [
'aliases' => [
'Debugbar' => Barryvdh\Debugbar\Facade::class,
The profiler is enabled by default, if you have APP_DEBUG=true. You can override that in the config (debugbar.enabled) or by setting DEBUGBAR_ENABLED in your .env. See more options in config/debugbar.php You can also set in your config if you want to include/exclude the vendor files also (FontAwesome, Highlight.js and jQuery). If you already use them in your site, set it to false. You can also only display the js or css vendors, by setting it to 'js' or 'css'. (Highlight.js requires both css + js, so set to true for syntax highlighting)
Step 3:config with the publish command
In this step,I will publish Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvide package follwing command.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider"
You can now add messages using the Facade (when added), using the PSR-3 levels (debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical, alert, emergency):
Debugbar::warning('Watch out…');
Debugbar::addMessage('Another message', 'mylabel');
It will help you...

'Stabbed in the back' FURIOUS BBC audience member attacks Labour betrayal of working class
THE Labour Party have "stabbed working class communities in the back" over the European Union, according to a furious BBC Question Time audience member.
Question Time audience member berates Labour MP over Brexit
The majority of Labour MPs voted for an amendment on the EU Withdrawal Bill which gives MPs the right to vote on any changes to the final Brexit deal at the end of the negotiations.
But, a passionate Leaver lambasted the party for "stabbing" Barnsley's working-class communities "in the back".
The audience member said: "We are constantly being told by these elite politicians and she (pointing towards Nicky Morgan) has committed a really treacherous act last night against the Conservative Party.
"But the lady on the other side (referring to Shadow Business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey) is supposed to be in a party that should be defending the working class communities that this town is and their Party is tending toward the Single Market.
The passionate leaver said Labour had stabbed the working class in the back
"Which is unrestricted migration and that is what this town, overall, voted leave to stop because it damaged the working class communities.
"She's worse than Nicky Morgan in effect and her Party is doing more damage to these communities if we keeping to hearing from that Keir Starmer about the Single Market's on its way back.
"You're stabbing us in the back if you're gonna carry on with those treacherous rebels and when he says about Parliamentary sovereignty, the people are sovereign to put their representatives in Parliament."
The cavalier Brexiteer added: "We've made our decision, we know why we made it. I know you think we're all thick up north, but I remember voting on my ballot paper and it said 'leave or remain'.
"It didn't say turn over to question two, do you want the hard-Brexit or the soft-Brexit."
The audience erupted into stormy applause and cheers for the impassioned speech.
Shadow Business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey also voted in favour of the amendment.
She said Brexit is going to happen and reiterated that the vote was not to stop it from happening but to give Parliament the ability to scrutinise the final deal.
Ms Long-Bailey replied to the Leaver: "We're quite clear that Brexit is going to happen…"
The audience jeered and moaned at this comment, cutting her off mid-sentence.
She regained composure and said: "We want a deal that puts our…"
The Barnsley resident interjected: "Drop the Single Market and get on with it."
Question Time presenter David Dimbleby implored the man to let Ms Bailey finish her sentence.
She continued: "Over the last few weeks it's been very rarely reported in the media about the amendments on the EU Withdrawal Bill.
"But, the Conservatives voted against Labour's amendments to make sure worker's rights were protected, they voted against amendments to make sure our environmental issues are protected and they also didn't look at certain parts on crucial industry that affect areas like Barnsley or Salford, where I'm from, where if we did not get a good deal from the EU, we will be on our knees economically."
The audience erupted into stormy applause and cheers for the impassioned speech
But Mr Dimbleby persisted with the Brexiteer's question.
He said to Ms Long-Bailey: "But just stick with his point, he said he voted out and Labour wants a Single Market, easy immigration - what is it about vote leave that you accept?"
The Labour MP replied: "We want an economic arrangement with the EU so we can trade freely.
"In terms of free movement, we recognise that coming out of the EU meant that will end."
Keir Starmer said he wants easy movement of people
Labour's Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union said on Sunday he wanted "easy movement" of people and a deal similar to being a member of the Single Market.
But, members of the European Economic Area such as Norway are members of the Single Market, pay into the EU treasury and have free movement of people.
But, Article 112 of the EEA Agreement - which has been triggered by Liechtenstein - allows an "emergency brake" which curbs free movement of people.

As of Sunday, Israel's vaccine rollout reached half of the country's citizens, which has made it the fastest campaign in the world. Moreover, this vaccine campaign has also provided the first real-life look to other countries at how mass vaccination can be used for bending the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been a ton of Israeli medical research conducted and some of it has emerged too quickly for academic journals to be able to keep up. This research indicates that the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is even more effective at preventing death and serious disease and it is safe for almost all adults. Plus, it has also been declared free of side effects.
Due to the scientific results obtained by Israel, health officials have chosen to open the inoculation program to nursing mothers and pregnant women. The findings also indicate that the vaccine is safe for people suffering from autoimmune diseases and allergies. Most importantly, the vaccine has proven to be very effective in protecting the elderly, who are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus. Therefore, hospital administrators in Israel claim that they are no longer worried about COVID-19 collapsing their critical care systems. Almost 90% of Israelis over the age of 50 have been vaccinated.
Israel's total population is 9 million and this small number, combined with the country's universal national health system, has made it a natural vaccine lab. More than 4.6 million people have been inoculated in the program and the first injection achieved the fastest pace per capital for any country. Both shots of the vaccine have been given to around 3.3 million people. Pfizer has asked to access the anonymized data that's maintained in a digitized medical file for every citizen in Israel and in exchange, it is offering a steady supply of vaccine doses.
This data has helped the health ministry, scientists from different universities, and Pfizer in tracking the impact of the vaccine with unprecedented speed. However, there are some urgent questions that have not been answered by the research, such as how well the vaccine is performing against the new variants of the virus that have been discovered. Likewise, experts are also divided on what the studies indicate about people remaining contagious after they have been vaccinated, which is an important issue in slowing down the spread of the virus.
Apart from that, Israel hasn't managed to become the example that the world is looking for when it comes to life returning to normal. The rate of infection in the country is still stubbornly high and is driven by the spread of variant strains of COVID-19 and the failure of some of the communities to comply with the lockdown restrictions imposed. Still, health officials are reassured by the upbeat reports, as they have been anxiously waiting for the vaccine to be deployed within months, something that has previously taken years to happen in the case of other diseases and viruses, making this a major accomplishment on the part of developers as well.

Featherstone coach Ryan Carr leaves club to return home
Featherstone have confirmed that head coach Ryan Carr has left the club and will return home to Australia for family reasons.
The 31-year-old guided the Rovers to the Championship Grand Final against Toronto in Canada this year.
Carr only joined the club ahead of the 2019 season from New South Wales Cup side Mounties – but he will return Down Under immediately due to personal circumstances.
He said: "I am grateful to everyone involved at Featherstone Rovers to have had the chance to coach at such a proud and historic club.
"The decision to leave Featherstone is down to family reasons, not a rugby league decision.
"I base my decisions on the happiness and wellbeing of my family first with my rugby league career coming second to that.
"I have to do what is best for my family which unfortunately means going back to Australia with my young family. I want to make sure I take care of them first and foremost as they are the most important part of my life."

After all that time and effort it took developer Alex Vadia to assemble the triangle of property east of Midtown Miami that included the old Chiquita Banana facility, he's in contract to sell it to a firm called AMLI Residential, which wants to erect 700 completely nondescript looking apartments on the site. TNM reports that the project, which is being designed by Zyscovich, will be a collection of 12-story rental apartment buildings, far below what zoning allows on the site, and 1,185 parking spaces, ten percent more than required. Renderings appear to show ground-floor retail, so that's good. Apparently city planners have already raised several concerns "including pedestrian access to Midtown", maybe consisting of a footbridge over the FEC tracks. "Looks like Doral" would be another very valid point, although city planners probably haven't said that, yet.

Did you know I'm planning a wedding? Yah I am. "Busy" around here, doesn't even explain it. It is SO much harder to plan a wedding with two little babies! My time is so limited. Trying to keep up with the blog while raising two kids, and attempting to get into a wedding dress, all while planning the wedding. Cah-razy! I can't wait for our wedding, but once its over I am so excited to relax the remainder of the Summer!
Oh yes..wedding mentioned above is in less than two months. SO much to do on top of all that; my sons birthday, my hubs graduation and commissioning ceremonies, oh and the military ball. So much to look forward to!
I've recently started level two of the 30 Day Shred. OUCH.
We've been going to cake tastings for the wedding, obviously. Hands down my favorite part of planning so far!
Did you see this new cookbook!? Gah, I can't wait to get my hands on one! I loooove avocados!
Bahahah I just laughed my butt off at this!! Hah Can anyone else relate?! I think yes.
While we're talking about the 90's..this is awesome. Especially 2 and 7. But really all of them.
SO happy about this! Im definitely going to miss this flavor!
I used to have the longest list of shows to watch every week..my DVR would always be overflowing around 95% full..now, I think I religiously watch about four..Ive realized now that my time is so limited, that I've really got to pick and choose whats worth it..and sorry, but the trash I used to love and get a kick out of, is not worth it anymore. Wait, does that mean I'm growing up? Maybe turning 25 really does make a difference? oh boy.
I want these, badly. Someone want to make them for me for my birthday next week? 😉
THIS is genius. I'm seriously considering trying to implement this when we go out with friends! Isn't it SO annoying? I'm completely guilty of it too, which is why I think its brilliant.
Apparently Im on a 90's kick. Giggling. Just me?
Later Friends! Going out to enjoy the Sunny, 60 degree weather! Since its New England, chances are tomorrow will be 15 degrees and snowy! Hope you get a chance to get out today if you have great weather! xo


text: There's not a lot cuter than baby feet right?! We all love cooing over just how cute their tiny toes are and how soft their feet feel, but how much do we know about good baby and child foot development? Do we know what to look out for? Are we familiar with some of the things that are recommended for us to try and avoid using with our children when it comes to their foot growth? Today I'm sharing this interesting and insightful infographic from shoefitters-uk.org to raise awareness of good foot health for babies and our children. Oh and just quickly whilst we are on the subject of feet.. how cute are these dinosaur wellies from Charles Clinkard? I'm thinking of getting them for Ethan for his second birthday in April as he is obsessed with dinosaurs at the moment, thanks to a certain little Master George Pig! ;)

This Peach Dump Cake is the easiest peach cake you will ever make! The batter takes just minutes to put together, and then all you have to do is wait for it to finish baking!
What's a Dump Cake?
Peach season is one of my favorites. I can't get enough of Peaches n Cream Crumble Bars, Peaches and Cream Pie, and Peaches Muffins. Give me one of those cute little Baked Peach Hand Pies right now, or else! This peach dump cake though, it's so easy to make and it's such a great way to use up the last two peaches you have left on the counter.
A dump cake is very similar to a cobbler. Typically, fruit or filling is added to the baking pan and cake mix is dumped on top, like this strawberry dump cake. Or any cake that can be made in a single bowl, like this easy peach cake.
Dump cake is typically made with boxed cake mix. But preparing this peach cake recipe from scratch takes just minutes. I can have it ready to serve by the time you come back from the grocery store with a box of cake mix and possibly a whole cart full of things you didn't plan to buy.
What's Needed for Fresh Peach Dump Cake?
To make this easy dump cake recipe from scratch, here's what you'll need:
- Fresh peaches
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Lemon juice
- All-purpose flour
- Kosher salt
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Unsalted butter
- Buttermilk
- Vanilla extract
How to Make Peach Dump Cake From Scratch
- Start by adding peeled and diced peaches to your mixing bowl with some brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Mix it all up.
- Add the rest of the ingredients on top, both dry and liquid, reserving a little melted butter to brush the pan. Mix to form a batter.
- Before transferring the peach cake batter to the baking pan, make sure to brush the pan with the reserved melted butter. I like to sprinkle a little turbinado sugar over the top for some shine.
- Bake it at 375°F for 35 minutes.
- Allow the fresh peach cake to cool just a bit before serving.
What Size Pan Should I Use?
I baked this easy dump cake in a 10×8-inch oval pyrex. Some equivalent baking pan sizes to this are an 8×8-inch square baking pan, and a 9-inch round cake pan. You can even bake it in a 9-inch pie dish.
What are the Best Peaches for Baking?
You want to find freestone peaches because they are sweeter and easier to work with. For a list of my favorite freestone peaches, head to our peach cobbler post!
How to Store Peach Dump Cake
You can keep this fresh peach cake at room temperature the day it is made and the following day. But beyond that, leftover cake should be refrigerated as moist cake with fruit can go bad, especially in warmer weather.
How to Reheat Dump Cake
You can reheat peach dump cake in the oven or the microwave.
- For the oven: preheat it to 350°F, wrap a slice of cake in foil and heat for 5 – 10 minutes until warm.
- For the microwave: place a slice of cake on a microwave safe plate, drape a damp towel over it, and heat for 20 – 30 seconds.
What to Serve with Peach Dump Cake
This fresh peach cake is best served warm the day it is made, simply by itself, with a dollop of whipped cream or with some ice cream. I think ice cream is definitely a must. Besides the classic vanilla ice cream, here are some adventurous ice cream flavors I think you should try with this cake.
- Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
- Nutella Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
- Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
- Peanut Butter Cookie Ice Cream
- Mascarpone Ice Cream
Tips for Making Peach Dump Cake
I've only made this easy dump cake recipe as written, so I can't say whether or not frozen peaches can be used in place of fresh. If using frozen, I imagine you'd need to thaw and drain them before adding to the batter.
To peel the fresh peaches easily, cut an X on the bottom and briefly submerge them in boiling water. Immediately submerge the peaches in an ice bath, then the skin should peel right off.
If you have any leftover fresh peach dump cake, warm it up the next morning and serve it as you would a peach coffee cake. Or go all out and add it to your brunch menu this weekend along with this Cheesy Sausage Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole and a pitcher of this Basil Mint Lemonade.

Today the 10th of September, when I browsed through my whatsapp I came across a post informing me that today is "World Suicide Prevention Day". Immediately, a face popped out of memory, a face which I remember vividly of my patient whom I lost to suicide some 5 years back. It's not an easy memory, painful it is. So I thought that I will do my bit on today's occasion and write something about suicide prevention.
I have taken the title from a documentary from 2006 on the topic. It actually is about the Golden Gate bridge, one of the most beautiful man made structures and rightfully one of the most photographed. Unfortunately, It is a very common suicide point. Another face with the mention of the word bridge that pops out is VG Siddhartha, Founder of CCD(Cafe Coffee Day) whom we lost to this malady called suicide.
According to the WHO we lose some 800,000 souls to suicide every year ie roughly 2200 each day.India is no different and we all are aware of headlines screaming out farmer distress and suicides. The reasons for the same are a different topic.
I will focus in this blog as to what can be done to prevent this unfortunate event. To quote "Jamison"…. "the mental suffering leading up to it is usually prolonged, intense, and unpalliated. There is no morphine equivalent to ease the acute pain, and death not uncommonly is violent and grisly. The suffering of the suicidal is private and inexpressible, leaving family members, friends, and colleagues to deal with an almost unfathomable kind of loss, as well as guilt. Suicide carries in its aftermath a level of confusion and devastation that is, for the most part, beyond description."
What to look for in a person you suspect of being Suicidal?
We Psychiatrists deal with individuals who feel life is not worth living,Who are suicidal,contemplating,planning suicide day in and day out. But what can a friend,family member, colleague look out for?The most important thing is a change in behaviour from the usual self. Somebody who has started avoiding conversations,get together s, basically has started avoiding social contact is at risk. If they appear pessimistic,sad,downtrodden voicing hopelessness, helplessness and their behaviour has changed they become tearful over small issues, lose temper easily have become pessimistic this should raise concern. Many a times not only normal people but also Doctors find it hard to deal with such individuals.
How to deal with someone you suspect is harbouring suicidal tendencies?
The first and most important thing is to open up communication and asking routine things like How are you? You don't seem to be your usual self these days? Is something wrong at your end? Once the person opens up it is very important to listen to him patiently and giving him/her the chance to voice their concerns and issues in a supportive and nonjudgmental way. At times one has to be very direct. Somehow, there's a myth that asking about suicide promotes it. This is absolutely wrong. One has to remember that for almost all suicide is a way out of intense emotional pain. How many times do we hear what happened is really sad. He had everything going for him,name fame,money,a good family. The list of lost celebrities is endless. Be aware of your own feelings and attitude. Some of us think suicide is sinful, the weak way out. Remember we all are humans and we have our limits. Even a computer after a particular load crashes.
Research tells us that almost all individuals at the time of suicide are mentally unwell, mostly depressed. If you suspect …..simply ask. Be there for them, show you care, and if things are not working out or taking a turn for the worst do not be afraid to suggest that the person seeks professional help. Most people improve and are able to bounce back. Remember bridges are made for one to be able to cross over hurdles. Be that bridge for someone.

Corelation_JackandKyle.mp4 from CUbroadcast on Vimeo.
What could be better than a few days in sunny San Diego? Spending them with fellow credit union technology leaders during Corelation's 10th Annual Client Conference!
In this episode of the CU Broadcast, Mike Lawson chats about emerging information technology trends with the team from CUSO FinTech, Pure IT Credit Union Services. With their strategy-first approach, CUSO co-founders Jack Smith, CEO, and Kyle Stutzman, CRO, share the unique change happening in credit union technology.
"What we see now is a change from what we saw a year ago," Smith begins, explaining how the perspective has evolved from reactive to proactive. "Frankly, we are moving on."
Executives are no longer in survival mode at the onset of a pandemic, and are now focusing on the future state of their credit union. What we see is the development of larger, long-term plans that move their organization further down its service path. These are technology roadmaps that engulf their business strategy and fuel member service. This has laid the foundation for the credit union digital journey framework.
"Credit unions are sharing their stories and learning from others," Stutzman adds, describing this new conference energy. "Exciting things are happening."
Leaders are ditching legacy versions for Linux X86, unlocking the power of data, and investigating business intelligence and automation like never before. This future mindset adopts continuous improvement and marries technology with their business plan.
And whether you're talking Cloud or security, there is a CUSO waiting to help. This outlines the unique beauty and symbiotic relationship between the credit union and CUSO. The CUSO mindset is simply to be of service to the credit union. The Corelation Client Conference brings a unique network of service-driven Fintech CUSOs who collaborate with one goal; to help the credit union.
The credit union has a support system standing by to help along every step of this digital journey. For questions, coaching, or to evaluate your current technology path, you have a trusted partner in your corner.
Our Pure IT Education Team is standing by to serve at, firstname.lastname@example.com.

We are now taking appointments!
you can book one here :)
Please note: we will pause trade-ins during the holidays, from November 24 through January 15. Unfortunately we also cannot accept unsolicited donations of books and movies at this time.
below, find general information regarding trading with us, and thanks for considering us as a new home for your beloved treasures!
We are trading books for store credit only by appointment only :)
we can look at **no more than** two grocery bags or bankers boxes of books at a time per visit, one visit per household per day. we reserve the right to limit visits or to cease trade-ins at any time if we have too much stock, and to choose not to offer this service to anyone at will.
-- Our store credit does not expire and it good for just about anything in the store, as well as special orders. We currently do not keep track of store credit, punch cards, gift certificates, or anything else, so treat our credit as if it were cash -- if you lose it or wash it past the point of being able to read it, we're so sorry but, it's gone!
-- We have a small parking lot for your convenience.
-- As a general bookstore, we will look at just about any type of book, but we do tend to avoid buying the following:
most encyclopedias;
most magazines;
most books with heavy damage, including water damage, mildew, broken spines, extensive writing or highlighting;
most condensed books (some exceptions for kids' books);
most ex-library books (some discard-stamped okay)
-- We have many years of experience in buying and selling, but we are a relatively small store, so while we will gladly make accommodations and offers whenever we are able, we generally don't look at huge amounts of books at once, buy entire estates, buy exceptionally expensive or rare volumes, or visit homes to make purchases. You are welcome to ask; never say never! We will also on occasion make an exception to our store-credit-only policy for an unusual collection of art, philosophy, science fiction, metaphysics or other specialty books -- please email for more information.
-- We will look at DVDs, BluRays, and unusual or rare VHS, but not LPs or CDs.
-- Lastly, we are sorry but we ask that you make an appointment for even a single book, as the buyer is not always present. It is often in your best interest to wait until you have at least a bag, but by all means, bring less if you like!
THANK YOU for choosing us to re-home your great items! We love playing matchmaker between good folks and good books and movies, and your collective tastes make this place what it is!

Earlier this week, the South Carolina GOP stunned election officials by announcing that they would not, as promised, be paying $650,000 to the cost of the state's January primary but would instead limit their contribution to $180,000 from filing fees by the candidates in the January 21 vote.
Party officials claim their decision is required by the recent state Supreme Court ruling – described by the party chair as a "game changer" – that the state and county election officials are required to run the primary as part of their authority under state law. The party's executive director suggested that county election officials only had themselves to blame: "The state party was negotiating in good faith with these four counties through the state Election Commission, and yet they filed a hugely expensive lawsuit knowing this was one of the potential outcomes."
An attorney for the counties suggested just the opposite – that counties were using the lawsuit to clarify funding details in advance, given the party's willingness to cover "legitimate expenses" involved with the primary:
The counties offered to dismiss the lawsuit if the Republican Party put $1.9 million in escrow to reimburse all 46 counties for their expenses. Their attorney [] said the state GOP never made a counteroffer, and officials in the Republican-dominated counties were trying to be fiscally responsible by sorting out the funding details in advance – and get it in writing.
While it isn't clear that the ruling does, in fact, prevent the state party from helping to defray the costs, the end result is that the state and counties are suddenly struggling to find the money to cover the expected $1.5 million tab. The Governor is already on record as opposing taxpayer funding for the primary and has also indicated that she will not allow the state election board to run at a deficit, as has previously been the practice.
Unfortunately for the counties, their decision to use court action to force the state party to pay a share of the primary costs – which I described back in October as a "briar patch" strategy – appears to have backfired.

Latinos have a high amount of individuals residing in poverty, and, yet, are still the fastest growing minority group in the nation (Gandara & Contreras, 2009; National Council of La Raza, 2014). For some families, living in poverty and the need to earn a living prevents parents from being actively involved in their children's education (Moreno & Gaytan, 2013). Therefore, the need to form alliances with parents is critical. Partnerships with parents must be formed to better understand the necessities of these children. Consequently, educators should convey to parents the significance of forming links between the home and school. Moreover, the purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the current implementation of the funds of knowledge (Moll, et al., 1992) and community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) that exist within Latino families along the Texas-Mexico border to facilitate partnerships between home and school. Data was collected over a timeframe of twenty-three weeks. The research study was comprised of: semi-structured, face to face interviews; questionnaires; observations; and document analysis. A two phase data analysis process was utilized. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interview content, open-coding to identify trends among the interviewees' responses, an examination of field notes, and an evaluation of the data to identify commonalities, categories, and patterns. Validity was established through the triangulation of the data sources. The results of the study suggest the emergence of four themes: stakeholders' responsibilities, the types of support available to students, the existence of cultural values, and the prevalence of community connections. Discussion of each theme and subtheme is provided. Furthermore, responses to the research questions and correlations to community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) and funds of knowledge (Moll, et al., 1992) are delineated. Implications for educators, educator preparation programs, and parents are noted. The limitations of the study are also documented. Recommendations for future research are included in the research study.

HR Pros Share 6 Common Hiring Mistakes to Avoid
By Carrie Mesrobian on 12/06/2021
The hiring process can undoubtedly be a stressful time. Candidates will spend hours fussing over cover letters, resumes, potential interview questions and professional etiquette as they prepare to navigate what can be a life-changing series of interactions.
We've all been in those shoes, worrying about how maybe a slip-up, overshare or moment of being maybe a little too blunt could sink our chances of landing a new job. But job applicants aren't the only people with reason to worry about hiring process mistakes.
Human resources (HR) professionals and the hiring managers they work closely with also face pressure to ensure they land the best possible candidate. Wasted time, wasted money, decreased employee morale and a host of ripple effects can come from a poorly executed hiring process.
So what can the folks on this side of the table do to help keep hiring mistakes to a minimum? We talked to several recruiters and HR pros to get a sense of the ways companies and organizations can mess up the hiring process—and how they can avoid these mistakes in the future.
6 Common hiring mistakes HR pros should have on their radar
1. Drawing out the hiring timeframe
In a 24/7 digital economy, everyone's making decisions quickly, not just hiring managers.
"The most common interviewing mistake that we see is a lack of timeliness," says Brendan Anderson, founder and head recruiter at Climate People. "If you're recruiting for a high-level position, it's likely that the top candidates are part of a competitive market."
Anderson explains that top candidates are typically interviewing at multiple places, and many organizations risk losing out on good hires to other organizations because of a protracted hiring decision making process.
While it certainly hurts to see a quality candidate head elsewhere, Anderson believes the underlying cause of this mistake is rooted in positive intentions.
"Companies want to ensure the candidate is a perfect fit before extending an offer," Anderson says. "To avoid this, we recommend that the companies and hiring managers condense their interview process. Ensure that you're asking questions that show both experience and company fit early on."
Stacey Stratton, president of True Talent Group®, believes it's key to have everything buttoned up ahead of time.
"When you are ready to make that hire, make sure you have everyone in your company onboard, the budget approved and keep HR in the loop," Stratton says. "You don't want to go through all of the work, find that perfect person and then not be able to move quickly."
2. Making biased decisions, unconsciously or structurally
The best job search strategies have a fair, consistent approach. According to Tina Hawk, senior vice president of HR at GoodHire, a common hiring mistake is exhibiting unconscious bias in the selection process. Unconscious biases result in discrimination or prejudicial treatment against candidates of a certain background, age, gender, ethnicity or educational background.
"By prioritizing candidates who look or act alike, you'll alienate the many talented individuals based on factors entirely outside of their control," Hawk explains.
The consequence of unconscious bias is the shrinking of a talent pool, as well as uniformity in the workplace.
"If there's one thing to avoid when hiring, it's uniformity," Hawk says. "Uniformity breeds stagnancy, and stagnancy leaves your business trailing behind your competitors. You need the steady flow of unique ideas to innovate on a consistent basis."
Hawk recommends building in steps in the hiring process to avoid this, such as anonymizing applications and resumes to foster fair treatment.
Joe Flanagan, senior employment advisor at VelvetJobs, sees inconsistent interview practices as another way bias contaminates the selection process.
"A lack of a consistent interview process that evaluates candidates on the same parameters and yardsticks can be problematic," Flanagan explains. "If all the candidates are not judged on the same playing field, it can lead to erroneous hiring decisions."
3. Not conducting reference checks
Another big hiring mistake is skipping over references checks.
"This is probably the most common mistake I have seen, and it continues to be a problem, especially for companies who are desperate to fill a position," says Jim Sullivan, CEO and founder of JCSI.
Not conducting reference checks can result in hiring candidates who aren't a good fit for the organization. References can be a very good way to get a sense of a candidate's work style.
"It is important to have an idea of how this person works individually and in a team, and to gather more information on if they are a good fit for your team," Sullivan says.
Lack of time is a common reason reference checks get overlooked. Sullivan recommends developing a form to use with every candidate.
"This form will have questions for the reference check which makes the process much quicker, and fair for each person," Sullivan says. "Always plan for this as part of the hiring process. Making it a policy will help to avoid it being skipped."
4. Searching for "unicorns"
Hiring managers wanting to fill a role on their team often become idealistic about who will be the perfect fit.
"The most common mistake hiring managers make is when they picture their ideal candidate and itemize their skills in a job description," says Anne Campbell, client liaison manager at DigitalGrads. "The perfect candidate likely won't exist, and your wish list will simply put off job hunters."
Managing your expectations is crucial to successful hiring, adds Rowan O'Grady, president of US operations at Frank Recruitment Group.
"Don't walk into an interview looking for perfection," O'Grady advises. "Setting unrealistic benchmarks before meeting potential employees is a recipe for failure."
O'Grady gives an example of a client intent on finding a candidate with a very niche certification.
"They were unwilling to even look at other applicants, despite their past experience or qualifications, so the sourcing process was lengthy," O'Grady recalls. "If I hadn't stepped in and reminded them that a certification is something that can be earned, not something innate, they wouldn't have the Vice President they do now."
O'Grady believes that a shift in attitude can help avoid searching for candidates who don't exist.
"Looking at the whole picture, considering how a candidate can grow into your team and thinking about a new employee as an investment will help you find talent that will impact your business long term," O'Grady says. "Don't be blinded by looking for a perfect resume and forget what makes a business: the people."
5. Moving too quickly
While moving too slowly can mean losing candidates to competitors, moving too fast can also be a problem.
"One of the mistakes that hiring managers make is to speed up the process of selection, which often results in hiring the wrong employee," says Irene McConnell, managing director of Arielle Executive. "This practice is more common with startups who often rush to fill positions without analyzing the job requirements."
McConnell empathizes with companies who move too swiftly. "They want to hire employees as soon as possible so that their company starts prospering," she says.
But this quick action can be costly.
"Hiring the wrong employee may incur financial losses with respect to hiring and training in addition to time wastage," McConnell points out.
Taking the time to screen the applicants and conduct in-depth interviews makes it possible to get a clearer view of how a candidate's skills and personality will fit within your organization.
"If needed, go for the second round of interviews because the more you base your decision on these factors, the longer you extend their stay within the company," McConnell adds.
As you might imagine, there's a balancing act to maintain here. The case for speeding up or slowing down the hiring process will come down to individual circumstances. No matter what the pace is, staying in communication and providing as clear of a timetable as possible will help make for a smooth process.
6. Disregarding the importance of transferable skills
Much like seeking the "perfect" candidate, hiring managers can also focus only on credentials, missing out on transferable, soft skills.
"In this fierce job market, I think employers can fail to see transferable skills and capability," says Stratton.
Flanagan agrees. "Many times, when faced with an urgency to close a position, hiring managers look only at the qualifications or experience and ignore the very visible red flags related to being a culture misfit," Flanagan says.
Your organization's existing training and development resources should factor into the candidates you select, Campbell adds.
"Consider broadening your training and professional development offering to widen your candidate pool," Campbell suggests. "Hire for aptitude rather than experience."
Look at candidates holistically, seeing them as a human, not just a set of skills.
"Qualifications and badges are useful for sizing up the skills a candidate has," O'Grady says. "But they don't say anything about who a person is and what they can achieve."
Finding your place in HR
Now that you've had a glimpse of what human resources and recruiting professionals navigate in finding and placing the right people for a job, you might be curious if this field fits your own skills and personality.

One of Canada's largest provinces with a population of over 8 million, the multicultural Quebec is a popular destination choice for many immigrants. It is well-known for its Francophone heritage that is celebrated through its architecture, arts, cuisine, and multiple festivals year-round. Additionally, its cost of living is relatively low compared to other major Canadian provinces which makes it an affordable place to live in and thrive. Like all provinces, Quebec has its own set of immigration programs, however, with their distinct selection criteria and immigration process, they are able to offer a simpler and faster pathway to permanent residency. Generally, immigrating to Quebec involves two steps:
- First, an applicant must apply for a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) from the Quebec government to show that the applicant has been assessed and accepted for immigration to Quebec by the Government of Quebec.
- Once an applicant receives a CSQ, he/she must submit an application to the federal government, specifically, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and undergo medical, security and criminality checks.
Immigrants may choose to apply through the Quebec Skilled-Worker program, one of Canada's most competitive immigration programs, that does not require a job offer or any specific skill level. For those who have obtained their degree in Quebec or have worked in the province for at least one year, they may be eligible for the Programme de l'expérience québécoise (PEQ – Québec experience program), an accelerated program leading to permanent residency. Finally, for those with high net-worth, they may be eligible for the Quebec Self-Employed Program if they can create their own job through the practice their profession; or the Quebec Investor Program and Quebec Entrepreneur Program if they have significant management experience as well. Mercan Group, with our main office based in Montreal, Quebec, has developed an unparalleled expertise in Quebec immigration. Our skilled team of professionals can gladly and competently assist you in any inquiries you may have. For more details, feel free to call or email us today.
The QSW program is an immigration program for the skilled immigrant who has the intention of settling in Quebec and becoming a permanent resident. Candidates interested in applying for immigration in Quebec must start the process by submitting a free profile in the Arima portal.

Energy Trust of Oregon releases 2018 annual report
Statewide, Energy Trust's customers saved $418 million on their utility bills in 2018
PORTLAND, Ore. — July 15, 2019 — Today Energy Trust of Oregon released its 2018 annual report highlighting the organization's work over the last year to help utility customers save energy and support their investments in clean, renewable power.
Read the full annual report online here.
In 2018, Energy Trust supported energy-efficiency upgrades and renewable energy installations at more than 48,000 Oregon and Southwest Washington homes, businesses, factories and farms through a network of more than 2,300 trade ally contractors.
In total, Energy Trust delivered $94.3 million in cash incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy investments to customers of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas and Avista.
"When we save energy, utilities do not need to generate, purchase or distribute it to meet the needs of their customers," said Michael Colgrove, executive director, Energy Trust. "This saves customers money and more. The benefits of energy efficiency and renewable power also include a healthier environment from fewer carbon dioxide emissions, stronger local economies and more resilient communities."
From residents to business owners, Oregonians achieved significant clean energy results last year through energy-efficiency upgrades and solar system installations—receiving incentives and technical resources from Energy Trust to make the investments easier and more affordable. For example, J&J Snack Foods in Weston, Ore., slashed annual energy costs by an estimated $70,000 and joined Energy Trust's Strategic Energy Management initiative to deliver additional long-term savings.
In Woodburn, Success High School became the first high school enrolled in Energy Trust's Path to Net Zero initiative, saving the newly constructed school an estimated $33,000 annually and meeting most of the campus' energy needs through a 250-kilowatt solar system.
Woodburn School District said, "This enables us to focus more of our attention on our mission as an alternative education program to help students reach their full potential rather than day-to-day operations."
In 2018, Energy Trust also developed 10 diversity, equity and inclusion goals to reach new customers and better reflect the communities it serves through new program designs and deeper relationships with local organizations. Among these new goals, Energy Trust has pledged to expand participation of minority- and women-owned businesses in its Trade Ally Network by 50 percent, and to increase the number of projects completed with these businesses by 15 percent.
"Just as emerging technologies and changing energy policy and regulations are transforming our industry, our state's shifting demographics are opening up new needs and opportunities," said Colgrove. "To maximize energy efficiency and renewable energy investments, we must be inclusive in our program offerings for the benefit of all utility customers."
These new diversity, equity and inclusion goals have helped shape Energy Trust's draft strategic plan for 2020-2024 — the organization's five-year plan to deliver maximum energy savings for utility customers in Oregon and Southwest Washington through programs, information and services. To find out more information on Energy Trust's draft 2020-2024 Strategic Plan, visit www.energytrust.org/strategicplan. Public comment is accepted through Friday, August 2, 2019.
Since 2002, Energy Trust has invested $1.8 billion in utility customer funds to deliver benefits including:
- $7.7 billion in total utility bill savings over time
- $7.3 billion added to Oregon's economy
- 29.3 million tons of carbon dioxide avoided
Energy Trust of Oregon is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to helping utility customers benefit from saving energy and generating renewable power. Our services, cash incentives and energy solutions have helped participating customers of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas and Avista save $3.4 billion on energy bills. Our work helps keep energy costs as low as possible, creates jobs and builds a sustainable energy future. Learn more at www.energytrust.org or call 1-866-368-7878.

The dreaded January is finally here. Most of the Midwest and the east coast are dealing with actual January temperatures and snow totals. We woke up to -2 and a -10 wind-chill today. Now's the time to commit to a treadmill or find an alternative cross training. It can be very boring, but it's all in your mind set. If you set yourself up for success and follow a workout, it will go so fast. Winter treadmill training has many benefits. It beats the cold, you won't slip on ice, it's not dark, you can listen to blaring tunes, you can people watch or watch tv and you can make sure you hit your paces. The outdoors in the winter can be amazing running weather, but when the cold temperatures hit and the ice is bad, you must take it indoors. Here are 4 workouts to add to your indoor routine.
1. 800 meter repeats. You can't go wrong with this workout every week if you needed to. 800 meters on a treadmill is about .5 miles. Warm up for 10-15 minutes of jogging then hit 4-8 repeats with 3 minutes jog recovery between sets. Finish with a 5-10 minute cool down. This workout with get the blood pumping and oxygen flowing. Pick a pace that is uncomfortable but doable for 3 minutes. The goal is to be fatigued. This workout will gain speed and stamina.
2. Hills. Need I say more? Obviously training for hills is much better outdoors, but sometimes you don't have a choice if conditions don't allow. If you're training for a hillier spring race, you must incorporate hills. Jump on the treadmill, warm up 20 minutes jogging and hit the hills. Set the incline for something between 4% and 6% and run at your goal pace for 60 seconds. Jog recover for 90 seconds. Repeat 8-12 times. Cool down, jogging 5-10 minutes. This workout will gain strength and build your stamina on hills. No one should hate hills. Embrace them. Let them challenge you and defeat them.
3. The dreaded Tempo run. I find this to be the toughest workout when training for road races. It is mentally more challenging than it is physically. Tempo runs should be incorporated into your weekly runs. Depending on what you're training for will depend on the exact tempo, but for starters, let's do a 20 minute tempo run. What is your goal pace for your next race? If it's a marathon, grab that pace and hang on to it for 20 minutes. You should be able to run this pace without being miserable – comfortably hard. If you're training for a 10k, 10 mile or half marathon, you will want to go a bit faster depending on your goal. I would adjust as you need to, but remember, you want the pace to be hard, but not impossible. Turn the tunes on 'stay'. Breathe. Warm up and cool down 10 minutes each.
4. Pyramid. The last workout is a fun one and you have to be paying attention to the minutes! This is a type of progression run. After your warm up, you will increase the mph (miles per hour) .1 every 1 minute. Start from a comfortable pace and go up for 10 minutes, then back down for 10 minutes. Warm up and cool down at least 10 minutes or more.
There you have it, 4 simple treadmill workouts to blast the boredom! You will be paying close attention to your workout that the time will fly by! Leave a note or question if you have anything to add!

A boundary properly drawn is, metaphorically speaking, a portrait of an individual. A person's sense of self, field of responsibility and duty, one's choices, values; that which a person admires and abhors, and even a person's friends—all of these facets are defined by the lines of demarcation that each one of us chooses to draw…or cross.
Sometimes our boundaries lead us in the direction of leaving a friendship, either for a season or for good. When do we know when we need to take a more drastic step in a relationship?

Site Update
17 December 2021
I've just noticed that TweakGuides.com now redirects to a new website at KoroushGhazi.com. It appears that this change happened only 2 weeks ago (2 December). If anyone wants to keep up with what Koroush is writing nowadays, please do pay his new site a visit.
Site Update
7 November 2019
TweakGuides.com is now completely offline. For the moment, the website redirects to this twitter post. This will very likely change after the TweakGuides.com domain name either expires or changes ownership.
It's Over
5 November 2019
This video proves why I'll never be a YouTube star :) I don't want to say much more than thank for you for all of the wonderful emails and kind thoughts, and thank you for visiting the site for 15 years. The site will go offline in the next few days, but I'll be around. Take care guys!
Site Update
1 November 2019
This is becoming a bit like the Twelve Days of Christmas, with an update each day leading to site closure. We've already had kangaroos a-lazing, and newshounds a-snooping, what's next? Seriously though, I'm not trying to drag this out for attention, but I do plan to leave the site up for at least another week so that any latecomers can see for themselves what's going to happen, and anyone who wants to quickly grab a portion of a guide, or convert a guide or two to PDF, can do so more easily than downloading the site achive and rummaging through it.
Importantly, I also want to announce that I've changed my mind regarding the TweakGuides.com domain name. I've realised that given it's simply two common words joined together, and is more descriptive than unique, it would be unfair of me to just sit on it. Accordingly, I promise that if, before the domain needs to be renewed (1 April 2020), a person or persons can produce at least three good quality, comprehensive guides on popular game(s), piece(s) of software, and/or for some aspect of Windows, then I'll transfer the domain name to them at no charge. I'll be the final arbiter of who deserves to get the name, and I reserve the right to keep it in lieu of an appropriate candidate. I'll mention this again on Twitter to remind everyone, probably in late February next year.
Lastly, if you haven't already seen it, the TweakGuides Nostalgia article I wrote a couple of months ago, combined with the Nostalgia Redux editorial I wrote on Site Updates, is a good way to get across the early history of the site, and some of the games that inspired it. Though highly self-indulgent, I'm going to write a similar brief article covering some of the highlights of the site during its peak years, with a few tidbits you may not have known about, as a way of reflecting on the good times. That'll probably be up in a couple of days, or the Eighth Day of Twexit, as it's now known. I'll have a proper farewell message for you shortly after that, to thank you for your support, and bring things to an official close before the lights go out.
Site Update
31 October 2019
With regards to queries about using the site name and/or continuing the site somewhere else, possibly along with the site assets I've released, I would ask that you respect the fact that these are things I own the rights to, and consider part of my online identity. I won't be passing them on, or allowing them to be reused by anyone else; they're being retired. However, I do not own any rights to the concept of tweaking, tweak guides, game guides, etc., or any variant thereof, so anyone who wishes to continue in that vein has my blessing, as long as they don't implicitly or explicitly state that it has anything to do with TweakGuides. Focus on providing detailed content, rather than "brand", and you will be noticed.
Update: As to who currently puts out guides that I could recommend, I feel that both Andrew Burnes, with whom I worked while at GeForce.com, and who is still there, along with Sean Ridgeley, another GeForce.com guide writer at one time, both do a good job. For general Windows news and tweaks, check out TenForums, Winaero and AskWoody, they seem the most knowledgeable and factual.
I gathered news for my daily updates typically via a collection of 18-20 sites at any one point, almost all of them the actual source. So for Intel driver updates for example, I'd regularly check the download pages for the storage drivers, the wireless drivers, the chipset drivers, etc. Same deal for AMD, Nvidia, Windows updates, and so forth. There is no consolidated listing of updates, whether site-based or mailing list, which I can provide. That's not how I did it. To create your own list, you will need to bookmark the manufacturer/developer's downloads or release notes page(s) relating to the software and hardware you use.
Site Update
30 October 2019
Thank you for all of the wonderful emails and tweets! I still have a few more things to do before the site is finally shut down. Meanwhile it's turning into a bit of a wake, so let's lighten the mood a bit with a video I tried to take of some exciting kangaroos for a friend overseas... it didn't go well.
Site Update
29 October 2019
I'm posting this on the front page because, if you haven't heard by now, TweakGuides will be closing down shortly. The reasons are given in the last Site Update>. I've decided that there's no point dragging things out as originally planned, so I want to wrap things up within the next few days, and the site will then go offline permanently.
As promised, I've archived the entire site and I am providing it to you for free under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution International (CC BY 4.0) license. This basically means you can copy and redistribute the material as you wish, as long as appropriate credit is given, the Readme.txt and License.txt files are included, and any changes you make are clearly indicated. The full TweakGuides Archive (982MB) is currently on Mega, but you can re-upload to better file sharing sites/methods as you see fit.
As a bonus, I include a copy of the mythical, never-released, Far Cry 3 Tweak Guide (327MB), the guide I wrote but couldn't put out, resulting in my falling out with Nvidia, as chronicled in My Nvidia Story. I figure they'll let it slide all these years later if I finally let people see that it did exist!
I'll hopefully be able to prepare a proper farewell message for you shortly; for now, please accept my thanks for your well wishes, and your patronage over the years. I'll be around, whether on Twitter, or some other corner of the Internet. I might even be able to give you something new and interesting to read at some point in the future, let's see what happens :)

A micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) switch based serial optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) is demonstrated. This OADM consists of a few cascaded cells, each of which includes one 2 × 2 MEMS optical switch, a tunable fiber Bragg grating (FBG) filter and an optical circulator. Each cell can handle four consecutive channels with 100 GHz spacing. The modularization makes the network upgrading easy. Power consumption of such system is several milli-watts and the isolation between any two channels is greater than 30 dB. The in-plane MEMS optical switches are integrated on single chip and fabricated by deep reactive ion etching technology, whose driving voltage is only 30 V. A uniform metal layer is coated on the FBG by using sputter to obtain 2.9 nm center wavelength tuning range with a maximum injecting current of 12 mA. The MEMS technology makes the coupling and assembly of the switch, filter and circulator easy, precise, and reliable due to the fiber grooves. Various data formats can be added and/or dropped by the proposed OADM because it is bit-rate independent.

À propos
École St. Matthew School has partnered with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon to sponsor a Burundian family, living in a camp. The sponsored family has relatives living in the Saskatooon area. The commitment to sponsor this family is particularly impressive given the lengthy anticipated time predicted for the sponsorship – 18 months to two years. They are developing ideas about how to build opportunities for learning through this experience, from advocacy to Skype communication given the common French language.
École St. Matthew Refugee Fund is now accepting transfer donations to the following email address: firstname.lastname@example.com – as well as cash and cheques made out to St. Matthew Refugee Family Fund, which can be dropped off at the school at 1508 Arlington Ave, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7H 2Y2
