Last week I wrote an article about humping old men. I received some feedback from women who had in fact done just that. Humped old men for their money. The technical term is "sugar baby"
or prostitute which makes the hairs on the back of my feminist neck crawl. One woman suggested that I shouldn't be so judgmental. Everyone is entitled to do who they want when they want in their own bedrooms.
She's right. We should be able to stick-it to who we want, when we want to (within reason, you Stage 5 clingers). Perhaps I'm being a bit close-minded. After all, I pride myself on being open to new people and experiences. I don't like to be judged so I try not to judge others. Maybe I need a different point of view – maybe it's time for me to conduct a little social experiment: Finding a sugar daddy of my own
and chronicling the entire experience on this blog.
I can hear Gloria Steinem screaming over the Arizona hills – I'm howling too. This is lunacy, right? Well, that depends – I'm truly curious, so I'm joining several sugar daddy websites. I want to see if there's any meat behind these website's potatoes. This is my why-not moment. Why not try it? I'm not dating anyone at the present time – and really don't want to. That's the best kind of mentality to handle a situation like this. Besides, the older I get the more I realize that life is like water – fluid and changing. You've got to give yourself wiggle-room when it comes to your ideals
and creating a kick-ass story.
Speaking of old – that's exactly what I thought I was. I'm way too old to be a sugar baby – aren't they all under the age of 23? Don't men my age want to date 19 years and down? Turns out, that was just a cynical misconception,
not really. Men want to date young – but no so young that you're bringing a changing table to the restaurant. Turns out that age, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe I have a shot of eating chocolate covered strawberries on the French Rivera with a guy that looks like this:
Isn't' that the allure of this whole sugar daddy thing? The promise of something more than what we can provide for ourselves. Freedom can bear a heavy hand especially when that hand is holding a pile of bills. Providing for yourself can be a drag – woman are tired, overworked and grossly underpaid. No wonder many of us have felt compelled to put our profiles on websites like this.
I'm not going to talk about how sad it is that many women who want to better their lives need to do it off the back of a man; I'm not going to point out that a young girl's objective these days is to be objectified so that a rich man will take care of them; I'm not going hypothesize that many girls feel that dating a wealthy man is their only option for a good life. I'm not going to go there, even though I just did. I'm not going to admit that I'm one of those girls too.
At the end of the sugar-daddy-day, my stubbornness will keep me from being saved. I'm not SD material because I dig my freedom too much and feel that dating a guy with money becomes like any other financial transaction – a give and take. I also believe that the majority of what's given means getting it on in the bedroom whether I like it or not. This is a perfect opportunity to test my detective and disappearing skills because if there's a small, wrinkled, Viagraed-out penis in my future – this experiment will be short-lived. Keep checking back for updates and stay tuned. Maybe my dreamboat will arrive to carry me into the sunset…on top of this:

North West is one of the nine provinces of South Africa. It is known as the "Platinum Province." Platinum is a very valuable silver-white metal. Mines in the province provide more platinum than any other place in the world.
North West was founded in 1994. It consists of a part of the old Transvaal province and the former homeland of Bophuthatswana. The capital of North West is Mahikeng.

It's a brand new year and if you were naive enough to think that "Baby Shark" was a thing of the past, then you've got another thing coming to you. The hit kids tune of 2018 is well and alive in 2019 and has accomplished else to add to its accolades: climbing the Billboard charts. Yes, something that used to be reserved for people we would call artists with platinum albums hanging on their walls is now showing that the YouTube video heard round the world is rivaling them.
Baby Shark, the YouTube video produced and created by South Korean educational brand PinkFong is racking up more than just YouTube views. They are legit everywhere these days, including stuck in our heads at all times and it seems like there is just no escaping this family of sharks that our kids love so much. The original video, which has been viewed more than 2.1 billion (yes, billion) times is picking up steam on another platform.
So here's the scoop: as of Tuesday, it was announced that "Baby Shark" debuted on Billboard's Top 100 at 32. Based on the simple fact that everyone seems to be "doo doo doooing" everywhere they go, it is only natural to question why it's only appearing on the charts now. What you may not know is that in order to climb the Billboard charts a few key things need to happen which is usually a combination of streaming strength, radio play, and sales. Since "Baby Shark" was initially released in 2016 and not really gaining steam until 2018, they had some catching up to do.
Now that this song has transcended past Youtube and become super official, we can only guess what the future will be for "Baby Shark" and the whole PinkFong franchise. We all know what happened whenever they released actual Baby Shark singing toys right before the holidays, so we're guessing that PinkFong is going to have another good year - and so will our toddlers.
Well, there's no point in fighting their success at this point in the game. Who wants to take bets and see which spot "Baby Shark" will land next week?

Excessive corrosion caused a metal arm to break on the Fire Ball ride that malfunctioned at the Ohio State Fair, the Netherlands-based ride manufacturer KMG said in a statement today.
MORE: Ohio State Fair tragedy: What happened?
The incident killed 18-year-old Tyler Jarrell and injured seven others who were on the ride when it broke on the fair's opening day.
MORE: Ohio spends $1.17M to inspect amusement rides
The statement said KMG officials traveled to the accident scene in Columbus to review video footage of the July 26 accident and conduct metallurgical tests of the beam.
"It was determined that excessive corrosion on the interior of the gondola support beam dangerously reduced the beam's wall thickness over the years," the statement said. "This finally led to a catastrophic failure of the ride during operation."
The company said the spinning and swinging ride called the Fire Ball was 18 years old.
Tyler Jarrell died of blunt force trauma injuries after being tossed 50 feet (15 meters) into the air when the ride broke apart. He was about to begin his senior year in high school and had enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps the week before he was killed.
MORE: Ohio State Fair tragedy could spark changes
A law firm representing the family of the man who died, Tyler Jarrell, 18, of Columbus announced it would "investigate the incident and handle the wrongful death case," according to a news release from Kitrick, Lewis & Harris of Columbus.
MORE: Teen killed at Ohio State Fair had just joined U.S. Marines
The Ohio Highway Patrol is investigating the accident.
The Fire Ball ride had been inspected the day of the accident and no problems had been found.
A ride safety advocate is calling for greater transparency in inspection reports on rides that pass through the state of Ohio or are located in amusement parks.
"I think Ohio needs to establish a database of every amusement ride in the state and have that database accessible to the general public," said Ken Martin, a Virginia-based ride consultant and owner of KRM Consulting.
Spokesmen for Ohio's legislative leadership say they will wait until investigators determine what happened.
"At this point, we trust that the ongoing professional investigation will bring conclusive findings, and it's important that we allow that to happen first," said John Fortney, press secretary for state Sen. Larry Obhof, R-Medina.
"Until more details from the investigation are brought forward, it is too early to speculate on what, if any, future actions should be taken," said Brad Miller, press secretary for Ohio House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger, R-Clarksville.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Power constitutes a 'family resemblance concept', with family members forming complex relationships within overlapping language games. Members include, among others: episodic power, dispositional power, systemic power, power to, power over, empowerment, legitimate power and domination. This argument does not entail relativism or that 'anything goes', as all usages have to be justified as 'conceptual tools', whereby pragmatic criteria of usefulness, rather than essence, define better or worse usage. When moving language games, the relationship between signifier and referent changes, which leads to confusion, unless the family resemblance nature of power is understood.

UK: Islam vs liberalism: the classroom's silent Culture War
Teachers are afraid of tackling difficult questions in front of pupils
Last weekend's National Union of Teachers conference confirmed that schooling, subject to conflicting ideological and cultural pressures, has lost any sense of common purpose. It has also lost a sense of what it is to socialise children. Indeed, if the motions debated at the NUT conference reflect wider trends in teaching, it seems socialisation has turned into a caricature of itself.
Take two of the motions debated and passed at the NUT conference. The first asserted that government should be 'forced' to portray gay relationships in a positive light. It called on teachers to put pressure on the government 'to make it compulsory that all schools' sex-education policies include a positive portrayal of same-sex relationships'. The second motion asserted that teachers should be able to avoid class discussions of Islamic extremism. The justification for this, as NUT general secretary Christine Blower put it, is that 'some of our members are frightened to discuss things in class because they are worried that if there's any discussion that they will have to report this to the police'.
Whatever one thinks of these two motions, it is clear that they contradict one another. It is difficult to imagine how in the twenty-first century one can have a sensible discussion on gay relationships without engaging with the hostility directed against them by radical Islamic dogma. Imagine talking to a group of religious pupils about gay relationships while avoiding talking about the illiberal sentiments that influence their lives. In such circumstances, discussions of gay relationships will be at best an exercise in box-ticking.
The logical outcome of the NUT's contradictory resolutions is that, in practice, it will confine the promotion of positive gay relationships to classrooms composed of secular-minded pupils. In schools influenced by radical religious sentiments, awkward questions on liberal values will be avoided.
Promoting dishonesty
The NUT's contradictory motions are not just examples of confusion and self-deception; they are also evidence of moral cowardice. The NUT tries to justify the refusal to discuss Islamic extremism on the grounds that the recent Counter-Terrorism and Security Act forces teachers to report pupils suspected of radicalisation to the police. The NUT leadership asserts that this law 'closes down spaces for such discussions' and that 'many school staff are now unwilling to allow discussions in their classroom for fear of the consequences'.
However, the reality is that a significant group of educators have avoided classroom discussions of issues that touch upon radical Islam for a very long time. Even before the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act was introduced, few teachers discussed with their pupils the antagonism between jihadist radicalism and liberal values. Numerous teachers said they found such discussions hard to handle and, when they attempted to raise difficult questions, they found they received little support from their superiors. The reluctance to report pupils to the police was never the real problem here; it was the unwillingness to tackle difficult and controversial issues. That is why some educators have avoided addressing radical Islamic influences in the classroom.
Since the turn of the century, many British schools have shied away from tackling thorny questions with Muslim pupils. A report published in the aftermath of the race-related disturbances in Bradford in 2001 found that 'some teachers in Bradford consider the Holocaust to be a difficult subject to approach with Muslim pupils'.
A review published by the Historical Association, Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, reported that a 'history department in a northern city avoided selecting the Holocaust as a topic for GCSE coursework for fear of confronting anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils'. It also mentioned another history department in which 'the Holocaust was taught despite anti-Semitic sentiment among some pupils'. However, the same department deliberately avoided teaching the Crusades at Key Stage 3 because teachers' 'balanced treatment of the topic would have directly challenged what was taught in some local mosques'.
In recent years the situation has become worse. One teacher from a school in east London reported to me that her managers had actively discouraged her from discussing the Charlie Hebdo massacre with her Muslim students. Another teacher reported that such discussions were avoided in order to prevent an Islamophobic backlash.
These reactions show that, too often, schools are reluctant to challenge the cultural and ideological attitudes of Muslim pupils. Like the NUT leadership, they are very bold in promoting fashionable causes among secular pupils, but avoid having difficult conversations in circumstances that might provoke a hostile response.
Cultural segmentation
There are many problems with the government's Prevent agenda and its project of promoting British values in schools and elsewhere. Cultural values that have real meaning for people's lives are organic to their daily experience. They are not so much taught as practised and lived. Values that are promoted artificially or administratively through campaigns of public education are often unable to win hearts and minds. This ghettoisation of values in education highlights their absence in the rest of the curriculum.
It is only through a curriculum of genuine liberal education that pupils can be socialised into the values of tolerance, liberty and democracy. Schools that take seriously the challenge of transmitting the ideals of the Enlightenment through the teaching of history, science or literature do not need to pontificate about British values. Students can be inspired through an open-minded liberal curriculum.
The flawed nature of the government's British values project is more than matched by the NUT's reaction to it. If the NUT leadership possessed a little courage, it could refuse to implement the government's Prevent strategy. It could call on teachers to discuss Islamic radicalism, but not disclose the content of those discussions to any external agency. But instead of deciding to exercise its professional judgment, the NUT elects to avoid the problem altogether. The logical outcome of this behaviour is to perpetuate and reinforce the cultural divisions that prevail in British society.
One final point: despite the mutually contradictory character of the two NUT motions discussed, they possess one feature in common – an almost visceral aversion to discussion and debate. The motion on gay relationships insists that schools be forced to promote a 'positive portrayal' of same-sex relationships. From this standpoint, there is nothing to debate. Like a church dogma, it is beyond discussion. In the case of Islamic extremism, discussion and debate is also to be avoided. The NUT clearly does not believe that educating children about the value of free discussion is part of its remit.
The illiberal intolerance communicated through these motions is unworthy of a profession that has done so much to enlighten generations of young people. Those teachers who believe that schooling involves educating young people for freedom and its exercise will no doubt ignore both of these motions.
Schooling goes back to the future
Teaching subject knowledge will give young people the means to shape their own destiny.
Knowledge and the Future School, explain the co-authors, is written 'primarily for those thousands of teachers… who have dark moments'. It is about addressing some of the deep questions about teaching, which are often deeply hidden by policymakers in their frenetic attempts to create more and better education policies.
What is teaching for? Is it about the transmission of knowledge to the next generation, or about churning out kids with the requisite qualifications and skills? Is it about retaining the knowledge of the past, or preparing young people to be able to navigate an unknown future? Is it about developing the brightest and best minds, or challenging the wider problem of social inequality through what is taught and learned?
In grappling with these questions, the authors manage to avoid the boring old binary distinctions that tend to characterise debates about education and the purpose of teaching: and in doing so, promote a practical vision for the 'future school' that places the curriculum at its heart.
As a collaboration between Young, David Lambert, both professors at London University's Institute of Education, Carolyn Roberts, a school head teacher, and Martin Roberts, a former head teacher and now consultant to The Prince's Teaching Institute, the book is also a genuine collaboration between those who study education in universities and those engaged with teaching in schools. It takes the insights of Young's brilliant but densely-argued 2008 book Bringing Knowledge Back In, and applies them to the teaching and schools of today.
The authors envision three futures for the school curriculum. In future one, 'knowledge is treated as largely given, and established by tradition and the route it offers high achievers to our leading universities'; it tends to be 'associated with one-way transmission pedagogy and a view of pupils that expects compliance from pupils'. This was the approach that went badly out of fashion from the 1960s onwards, condemned for being rigid and elitist.
The central criticism of the future-one curriculum was that it treated knowledge as static, and saw 'the future… as an extension of the past'. Back in the 1960s, many intellectuals – Michael Young among them – sought to challenge this fossilised view of knowledge by stressing the extent to which knowledge is not simply handed down, but actively and socially constructed.
And these intellectuals were right – to a point. Berger and Luckmann's brilliant little book, The Social Construction of Reality (1966), theorises the interaction between the objective world and the subjective meaning for those within it. Other contributions to the sociology of knowledge have emphasised that what we know is informed by the time and place in which we are living, the past that we draw on, and the way we are anticipating the future.
But just because knowledge is socially constructed does not make it arbitrary: and that was the problem with the critique of the future-one curriculum. Young famously, and bravely, underwent a volte face on the constructivist approach to knowledge when he became aware that many critics of the 'old' curriculum were demanding, not a more subtle, expansive, and dynamic approach to curriculum content, but the kind of curriculum that tried to avoid knowledge completely.
In this, the second future curriculum, boundaries between subjects disappeared, and much academic education became vocationalised. The idea that knowledge was '"constructed" in response to particular needs and interests' replaced the subtle appreciation of the ways in which reality is socially constructed; knowledge became seen as the crude imposition of particular interests upon unwitting school students.
Criticisms of the elitism of the old curriculum were used to justify turning schooling into vocational training, based on 'an increasingly instrumental view that education was a means to an end – usually expressed as the expectation of future employment'. As Young explains, this shift was not limited to particular subjects, or to low-achieving pupils, but became the ethos running through education as a whole: 'Even the academic curriculum took on these "instrumental" features. Physics and history were given more priority because they were subjects valued by the top universities, rather than because they involved "the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake".'
The anti-elitism of this second approach did nothing to tackle social inequality. Indeed, it makes the problems more entrenched, by denying pupils from lower-income backgrounds their 'entitlement to knowledge' – which, in Young's view, should be the core purpose of schools. And at any level, turning the pursuit of knowledge into a race for qualifications ends up denying the very purpose of education: to know the world in order to transform it.
If teaching can do anything to give young people the means to shape their own destiny, it is this: provide access to the best of what is known, with the recognition that this knowledge can be developed and challenged. This, argue the authors of Knowledge and the Future School, can best be done through subjects: 'the most reliable tools we have for enabling students to acquire knowledge and make sense of the world'.
Here we come to the future-three curriculum. The authors envisage it as more dynamic than the future-one assumption that the future is given by the past; it 'does not treat knowledge as "given" but fallible and always open to change through the debates and research of the particular specialist community'. Yet unlike future two, 'the openness of future three is not arbitrary or responsive to any kind of challenge – it is bounded by the epistemic rules of the particular specialist communities'. Ultimately, the future-three curriculum provides 'a resource for teachers who seek to take their students beyond their experience in the most reliable ways we have'.
In this way, the authors tackle the challenge posed both by the instrumentalism of the New Labour government's educational agenda, and the comfort blanket of traditionalism preferred by the current Coalition government. Their book is an engaging reminder of the need to avoid easy solutions, and to keep thinking.
UK: Head teacher 'bans primary school children from running in the playground in case they injure themselves'
Primary school children have been banned from running in the playground in case they fall over and injure themselves. Pupils at Riverview Junior School in Gravesend, Kent were told they could not move around too quickly because they might bump their heads.
Parents are furious about the ban - saying that children need to 'let off steam' during their breaks as well as getting exercise by running around.
Rachael Sparks said that her 11-year-old son Diesel had returned home upset after being told not to run outside at school. She said that she checked with headmistress Pam Wenbam, because she could not believe that it was true, before realising that a ban had in fact been imposed.
'I went in to school to speak to them as I thought he must have misunderstood,' Ms Sparks said. 'What else is a playground for in a primary school if not for running around and letting off a bit of steam? 'I was lucky enough to get to speak to the head, Ms Wenban. I said, "I just want to clarify if this is true."
'She started off by saying we've asked them to slow down a bit, but then it transpired that they had banned running.' The school claims that the ban is intended to tackle a specific 'chasing' game which has caused children to hurt themselves.
Ms Sparks said: 'She went on to say that due to some children not looking where they were going, there had been incidents of bumped heads. 'She claimed due to this it was her duty of care towards the children that had prompted her to ban running. They are not allowed to play British Bulldog, they are not allowed to play football.
'I know children do get the occasional bump to the head or grazed knee while running around on the playground but having spoken to a number of parents as well as children, 100 per cent of both expressed that running and getting the occasional minor injury was most definitely preferable to not running at all.
'I don't want to run the school down but I think it is a step too far. Kids have been bumping their heads and grazing their knees for hundreds of years.'
Ms Wenband said: 'We have asked children to refrain from playing a particular chasing game in the playground as we have found the increasing numbers taking part has caused some injuries, including a fractured collarbone. 'We are concerned for the safety of the children and need to stop this particular game until we can establish a safer way for them to play.
'When the weather is dry and sunny children can run and play more safely on the school playing field.'

A medical condition called optic neuritis is misdiagnosed at high rates, according to the results of a study of patients referred for treatment from 2014 to 2016. Pennsylvania residents who suffer from medical conditions should be aware of the risks associated with misdiagnoses and the frequency at which they occur. The study in question was of patients at a university clinic in the Midwest, each of whom had been referred for treatment of optic neuritis.
Study shows how much car crash risk rises with lack of sleep
Pennsylvania residents may not be getting the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep every night, and this will negatively affect how they act behind the wheel. Drowsy driving is to blame for an estimated 7 percent of all motor vehicle crashes in the U.S., including 16 percent of all fatal crashes. Lack of sleep leads to inattention and impaired judgment.
Will vocational rehabilitation help you get back to work?
One wrong step, one thoughtless act, one unsteady grip and everything changed. This is how a workplace accident occurs, and you are now struggling to get back on your feet. If you endured a hospital stay, surgery, physical therapy or costly prescriptions, you were likely grateful for the workers' compensation system that provides benefits for injured workers.

Things You Need to Know About CBD Oil
CBD is called cannabisoil and is being used to be able to treat the various symptoms of certain diseases which can be considered as highly controversial. There are certain confusion that was made as this kind of oil was deemed to be highly controversial at the same time it has a very good effect to the body and certain compounds have been proven to be legal in some countries and illegal to some.
CBD is cannabinoid compound that can be seen in plants the oil has CBD concentrations and can be used in a lot of ways.
Compound Delta 9 or THC tertahydrocannibinol is the most effective compound found in marijuana which is said to be very effective. The one responsible in the alteration of minds called THC when it is being smoked or cooked it is being broken down by heat comparing to THC, CBD it becomes psychoactive.
This will lead your own state of mind to alter the significant changes that is noted in the human body.
Hemp played a big part of the cannabis plant and in many cases it is not being processed yet prior to extraction. Those hemp came from cannabis sativa and is different as well the marijuana farmers are breeding plant so they can get the THC levels of hemp farmers need not to change the plant since it is being used to make the CBD oil.
The one affecting our own body is the Cannabinoids which contains the capacity to be able to attached itself to the body eventually. This CBD has a very beneficial effect to the body which is a natural pain reliever and it also has anti inflammatory agents that over the counter drugs can not be compared upon because this is a natural method of medication.
The research are showing the CBD is giving a much better treatment compared to other over the counter drugs. There are evidence showing that the use of CBD can be effective for those people that are trying to quit smoking and getting the nack of drug withdrawal.
Smokers inhaling CBD are proven to smoke less and giving them less cravings with smoke.
Various conditions are said to be able to be helped upon with CBD which includes epilepsy, LGA, and seizures among the many others. There are still a lot of research that is being conducted of those CBD in the human body and the results are very promising the possibility of combating cancer and anxiety disorder can be higihly considered to be looked upon as well.

Injury Report for Week 1 vs the Oakland Raiders
Well, thankfully there aren't too many names on the week one injury report. The only bad thing is that the names that are there are pretty important names. This is not the official injury report for week one, this is just based off of everything I pulled from all over the internet and put it […]

Meridian, ID, divorces are the most difficult when the spouses have children. Besides asset distribution, the spouses have to agree on or fight for child custody. The outcome will influence not only their lives but also that of the child. Working with a Meridian ID family attorney with child custody experience is very important.
The parents requesting custody of their children have to know Idaho laws. They also need to understand how the court applies those laws and how they make decisions. A Meridian child custody lawyer will be able to explain all that. They will also help their client focus on the relationship with their child and see things more objectively.
Children suffer the most when their parents separate. The last thing they need is having to choose between their parents and being dragged through court. At Idaho Divorce Center, we try to ease things for both our clients and their children.
When we take over a case, we advise our clients on their rights and options from the beginning. If they let us, we do everything in our power to help them win custody with minimum pain and hassles. Whether you are facing a custody battle or just looking for information, the details below should help.
Child Custody Laws or How Idaho Courts Settle Disputes
When the parents cannot agree on how to share custody, they go to court. Depending on the case circumstances, the judge may grant custody to one parent or order joint custody. Their decision will follow the Idaho Domestic Relations Law and focus on the child's best interests.
It is up to each parent to prove that remaining in their care is the best thing for their child. The court will want to see evidence not hear stories or promises. A Meridian child custody lawyer knows what evidence to use and how to convince the court. In making a decision, the court will consider several factors:
- The parents' requests
- The child's preference
- The child-parent relationships
- The relationship of the child with siblings or other persons living with their parents
- The child or parent's disability if applicable and its impact on the parent's obligations and the child's well-being
- The living arrangements, financial, health, and employment situation of each parent
- Each parent's ability to fulfill the child's physical, mental, and emotional needs
- The parent's fitness for raising the child (taking into consideration domestic violence, drugs or alcohol consumption)
- The child's need for stability and how the custody order may affect their life
Disabled parents and grandparents may claim child custody in Idaho. The disabled parent will have to prove that their disability does not prevent them from watching over the child. Grandparents have to prove they cared for the child for a minimum of 6 or 12 months, depending on the child's age. If the circumstances and the child's interest change, parents may ask the court to reconsider who has custody.
Claim Child Custody with the Help of an Experienced Family Lawyer in Meridian, ID
Whether you're facing a child custody battle in court or preparing for negotiations, we can help. At Idaho Divorce Center, our family attorneys have handled numerous custody cases. They know Idaho laws and how judges think. They will help you protect your relationship with your child and the child's best interests.

Workplace – Facebook's enterprise communication and collaboration software has launched a new desktop app that makes it easier for users to message with co-workers without relying on a browser tab that can get lost amongst all your other tabs.
Workplace by Facebook spokesperson Vanessa Chan confirmed the launch of the desktop app saying "This was one of the most widely requested features by customers, so we built it. The desktop app is still in beta and being tested by Workplace customers who are providing feedback that we'll use to improve the product before a wider rollout."
The desktop app works similarly to Workplace Chat's dedicated website. It provides a big dashboard of all your conversations, text search, and the typical photo, video, voice clip, emoji, GIF, and webcam sharing. You can also set up desktop notifications that ride over your other windows so you never miss a message.
Read more about the new development via a recent post by TechCrunch.
Hear what Facebook has planned for Workplace at smilelondon – where we interview Rebe Tristan, Head of Customer Growth (EMEA) at Facebook about the success of Workplace since its launch.

I am trying to run windows 98 on a windows xp system but I keep getting System Protectiuon Windows NDIS ERROR which I understand is caused by a the use of a faster CPU with Win 98
Microsoft have wahed their hands and I am wondering if anyone out there can tell me how I may resolve this problem. The system will work in the Safe Mode.
You need to list your system specs. It would also help to explain why you want to run Win98 on a modern machine.
If the CPU speed is the issue, you can try underclocking it to a lower speed. How much RAM do you have? Win98 only supports up to 512MB. It can be run with more IF a tweak is made to the vcache setting in the system.ini file.
Thanks for getting back to me is the clock speed software definable and if so how or are we talking a hardware change and what sort of a Tweak did you have in mind for the vcache in the system.ini file ?
You really need to list your system specs. If you have an OEM computer (Acer, Dell HP, etc), it's doubtful you can make any changes to the CPU clock speed.
As for tweaking the vcache settings, here's an explanation:
I just posted on this within the last week:
Windows protection error in NDIS with a CPU that is faster than 2.1 GHz
I have an old Celeron 1.7GHz I could mail to you-- of course Celerons aren't great but it would meet the limit.
That was a problem with 95 and 98 first edition. 98 second edition didn't have that problem. The fix described here is for 98 first edition:
I can send you the file if you need it.
Edit Oh, I guess SDfox already offered.
This space for rent
There is no need to change operating systems or to change processors!
There is a HotFix for this. The KB Article linked above is the correct one, and all you need is the hotfix associated with it.
Go here:
enter the KB number 312108 in the form and click Submit, follow the steps and Microsoft will email you the HotFix.
I have done extensive work with this particular issue. The HotFix corrects it for Windows 98, and it can also be corrected for Windows 95.
MS doesn't come up when I use the link and code you provide.
Kinda strange; I installed Oracle VM VirtualBox and all went well with down/up-loading an ancient data base program and data files, but when I ran the datebase program it/I was denied permission to access my own files!
It was after going through Control Panel/Network/user-share and the resultant re-access to the install (98) disk that I started to get the d**n NDIS error.
That is: Hunh?
It did let me run the database program but not access my data files. What kind of idiocy is that?
Now, can't run squat.. I'd re-install if I could get around the permissions problem.
Or could/would you send me that fix?
Thanks, .5 to 1.5 million, depending!

Meryl Streep gives what, for any other actress, would be the performance of a lifetime in "The Iron Lady," a superficial, unfocused film about Margaret Thatcher, Britain's iconic prime minister throughout the 1980s.
Hitting every line with note-perfect accent and emphasis, coiffed in Thatcher's upswept style, moving from small-town English dowdy into, eventually, Chanel, and playing Thatcher over the 40-year span of her rise from backbencher to head of government to the throes of dementia, Streep is superb.

The Circus, the top echelon of the British intelligence service circa 1973, has been infiltrated by a mole, a spy working for the Russians who has infiltrated the inner circle.
The head of the service, Control (John Hurt), sends Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) to Hungary to meet with an agent who may be able to reveal the name of the mole, but their cover is blown and Prideaux is shot. As a result of the botched operation, both Control and his top deputy, George Smiley (Gary Oldman), are forced into retirement.
Taking in two end-of-year releases directed by Steven Spielberg, I was reminded of Spielberg's enormous cinematic range and appetites, and why he continues to be a seminal influence on the art and business of moviemaking.
Of "The Adventures of Tintin" and "War Horse" — both outstanding achievements — I preferred the former. This animated film, based on a classic series of 20th-century comic books by the Belgian artist known as Hergé, is light, loose, and terrifically entertaining.
Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows" is an uneasy mix of modern technique and literary material that's alternately whimsical and heavy-handed, clever and inane, suspenseful or deadly dull.
Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) are ending their long association, at least as far as detection goes. Watson's getting married, and Holmes is obsessed with tracking the nefarious activities of his arch-enemy, Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris).
"The Descendants" is a gentle, tough, acutely observed, nuanced picture of mixed emotions that walks the thin line between comedy and tragedy with easy confidence. In his first film since 2004's "Sideways," director Alexander Payne has transformed a story of betrayal, family dysfunction, death and potential rape of the land into an entertaining and deeply moving film.
The film "Hugo," is the first family movie Martin Scorsese, director of such disturbing works s as "Taxi Driver," "Cape Fear," "Shutter Island" and "Raging Bull," has made. Here, he creates a world about innocence, ecstatic creativity and love of his chosen art, film, which both entrances and instructs.
What do you do to revive a dying franchise that dates its glory days back to the 1980s?
If you're the Muppets, you throw a Hail Mary pass in the form of a movie – about a Hail Mary pass to revive the franchise.
And make sure to include plenty of references to your glory days and the 1980s.
The latest installment from the legendary puppetry workshop that Jim Henson built, though by now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Disney brand, is a wan, humorless attempt to make the Muppets a household name for a new generation.
Bill Condon's "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I" is the flick that answers the question, "Can a human girl get knocked up by a vampire if he has cool hair?"
What? You didn't ask that question?
Neither did I, but the answer is "yes."
I saw this film unencumbered by any truck with the "Twilight" phenomenon, and the first thing I would like to point out is that the only thing duller than a wedding is wedding preparation.
Surely no 20th-century government figure wielded more power — or abused it more — than J. Edgar Hoover, founder and czar of the modern FBI.
Such abuse is the stuff of drama. Yet Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar" is ponderous and plodding, with almost no dramatic impact despite a remarkable performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, who renders Hoover's obsessiveness in flat, uninflected tones.
The barely-fictionalized film, "Margin Call," about the collapse, in a single day and night, of the entire financial industry, starts as just an ordinary day in a high-profile investment bank. Three quarters of a floor of analysts have just been laid off, hustled by guards out the door, these hapless persons bearing nothing more than their family photos in cardboard boxes.

NJASCU Institutions – By the Numbers
A Powerful New Jersey Presence, Building a Powerful New Jersey Future
Most of the information below applies to all nine NJASCU members – New Jersey's seven state colleges and universities (The College of New Jersey, Kean University, New Jersey City University, Ramapo College, Stockton University, Thomas Edison State University, and William Paterson University), plus two research universities, Montclair State University and Rowan University that remain affiliate members of NJASCU. Any variations are noted. In addition, the data are for AY 2018-2019, unless otherwise noted.
Students and Alumni
- 100,209 undergraduate students.
- 116,038 total students, including graduate and
professional education students.
- 97% of undergraduates are
residents of New Jersey.
- 91% of first-time students at New Jersey's public
four-year institutions are residents of New Jersey – making New Jersey the 4th
best in the country at enrolling home-state students.
- 708,000 alumni.
- 71% of NJASCU institution alumni live in New Jersey.
- $12,909 is the average in-state tuition and fees at AY
2018-2019 (NJASCU members – including Thomas Edison State University, which is
an online, undergraduate-and-graduate-degree granting university charging only
per credit); without TESU, the average tuition and fee average figure is
- 2.33% tuition and fee increase among NJASCU
schools (AY
2018-2019 compared to AY 2017-2018); the slow rate of tuition and fee increase
among all of New Jersey's senior publics during the four-year time frame of
2012 to 2016 – representing the 10th lowest, five-year percentage
change among public four-year institutions nationally.
- 32,272 bachelor's degrees conferred by NJ Senior
Publics (including Rutgers and NJIT) in 2016 – three times the number of
degrees conferred by the private not-for-profit senior higher education
- $5 million spent annually on mandatory free tuition
or unreimbursed tuition waivers for members of special groups, i.e., National Guard, senior citizens, unemployed.
Economic Benefits - $3.7 billion to the State of New Jersey
The state's senior public institutions of higher education provide an enormous economic and lifestyle value to their local communities and the State of New Jersey – a value that extends far beyond their primary chartered missions of providing affordable, high-quality education that ultimately benefits everyone in society. Based on economic impact studies that some individual NJASCU institutions have done over the past few years, the economic impact value of all the institutions is estimated to be $3.6 billion to the State of New Jersey and the communities that host the colleges and universities. This estimate takes into account the following factors:
- $2.13 billion represents NJASCU
institutions' total operating budgets totaled.
- $330 million represents the NJASCU
institutions' capital projects since 2013 – stimulated by the recent infusion
of state bond money through the Building Our Future Bond Act that allotted
$247.5 million to the state colleges and universities and other bond funds
administered by the NJ Educational Facilities Authority.
- 23,700 employees for NJASCU institutions
fall into the following categories:
full-time benefits-eligible faculty and staff; adjunct faculty;
part-time staff; and mentors. They also
would pay $240 million in payroll taxes.
- 116,038 students are spending an estimated $600 million
annually in New Jersey (based on calculations from economic impact studies of
some NJASCU institutions). Ninety-seven
percent (97%) of NJASCU students live in New Jersey, so they and their families
are contributing to New Jersey's economy.
- 71% of NJASCU institution alumni live in New Jersey,
giving back in significant ways to their communities.
- $12.272 million is contributed to New Jersey's communities through community service provided by its students, faculty and staff. The number of community service hours are staggering – an estimated 500,000 hours per year. The volunteer jobs include: serving in crucial emergency roles (fire and first aid), tutoring/mentoring, building affordable housing, fundraising for local charities, and implementing food and clothing drives. The New Jersey equivalent pay rate for volunteers is $25.68 per hour.

A sex shop and two protected former warehouses in Cork city are to be redeveloped as a boutique hotel and hostel following a council vote this evening which is expected the net the city a €1m profit, writes Eoin English.
City councillors voted 21-4 earlier in favour of selling 1-2 Deane Street, close to the bus station, and nearby 7-9 Parnell Place, to Tetrarch Capital Ltd - one of the country's largest independent hospitality companies.
Highlighted is Nos 7,8 & 9 Parnell place
The firm has around 1,800 bedrooms across hotels, resorts and hostels including The Marker, Powerscourt Hotel, Mount Juliet, Citywest Hotel and The Dawson Hotel Dublin.
The properties at Deane St have been leased in recent years and have been operating as the Utopia adult shop.
The former warehouse buildings on Parnell Place are protected structures dating from the mid-1800s. They housed Mahers Sports and Flor Griffin's Electrical in recent years.
Cork City Council bought the Parnell Place properties in a strategic move across 2015 and 2016 from two firms which were in receivership, and bought the Deane St properties from an individual seller.
The purchases were part of a strategic move to promote economic development in the city centre and to facilitate the renewal of strategic city centre listed buildings that were in a derelict and dilapidated condition.
While the former warehouse properties were originally earmarked by the council for potential tech or start-up use, it is understood that officials deemed that was no longer required following the launch of Republic of Work on nearby South Mall.
Expressions of interest for the combined group of properties were invited and estate agents, Lisney, received six proposals by March.
They were reviewed by an independent assessment board and five parties were asked to re-submit a more detailed proposal and financial offer.
These short-listed proposals were then reviewed and assessed by another board, which recommended to senior city management the acceptance of the Tetrarch proposal.
The company plans to redevelop the properties as a budget boutique hotel and a separate designer hostel with ground floor restaurants and bars.
The recommendation came before councillors this evening, who following a short debate, sanctioned the sale of the properties to Tetrarch.
Lord Mayor, Cllr Tony Fitzgerald, said the council's purchase and sale of the sites has maximised the benefit to the city of the properties.
"Their architectural heritage will be protected and their new usage will bring about employment and add further to the city's growing tourist offering in the city centre," he said.
UCC has plans to develop a new business school at the nearby former Cork Saving Bank building on Lapp's Quay.
The Dalata hotel group plans to develop a hotel on the opposite side of Parnell Place, and planning has been lodged for a major expansion of the Metropole Hotel across the northern channel of the river Lee.
And O'Callaghan Properties' has embarked on its €90m Navigation House project on Albert Quay, just across the southern channel of the river Lee.
The city council has also invested €2m improving public space around Parnell Place in recent months.

RICHLAND, MS (WLBT) - Small businesses are the glue to so many communities. They sometimes offer things you don't find at big box stores.
'Small Business Saturday' encourages shoppers to spend at local mom-and-pop shops this holiday weekend. According to consumer experts, 68 cents of every dollar spent at a local business stays in that community.
Experts say that's more than twice the amount reinvested by big box chains.
The money goes toward better schools and other public services. Deanna Abernathy opened Red Wagon Boutique and Screen Printing in Richland two years ago. She says small businesses are certainly growing, and her business has seen growth every year since opening.
"I don't know if it's because people are really trying to staying to local," said Abernathy. "You just find the best gifts. You know. You find some unique things in a small town in a small store."
The next big shopping holiday is Cyber Monday. Shoppers will find deals online.

Hai! :3
Today's post is even earlier! Yuss :D
But anyways, im officially back to my normal posting schedule. c:
Chu are probably wondering why i was posting late in the first place.
Im still on school holiday.
On holidays, you go to places.
Sometimes the places are far away.
Far away places = tired. :c
So yah. I don't know why i chose to explain it like that though. XP
[ without proper paragraphs or something . . ]
Sometimes, you forgot to write in paragraphs, and then you realize: O NO I FORGOT THE PARAGRAPHS!
Then you start making random spaces between every few sentences. XP
Paragraphs make everything nice n' organized. c:
Paragraphs make everything nice n' organized. c:
Use paragraphs. They're gud.
But abandoning the subject of paragraphs, time to move on and look for the . .
. . . Or a returning one, in this case.
That's right people, the foggy square glasses are here, now 20% foggier and guaranteed to cloud your vision! GET DEM NOWWWwwwww *lowers the pitch*
Glasses are meant to help people see, and they are not foggy. (except for when you drink tea, lawl)
Tea is my favorite drink. :3
tea 4 life
But why does AJHQ make glasses sorta awkward-looking? The rare nerd glasses look okay, but they look crooked. :T
Can AJHQ not draw proper glasses? :/
Just draw two squares/circles/ovals/whatever's and a line connecting them together! SO SIMPLE! :D
But AJHQ decides to make it look extremely complex and difficult. *applauds*
I admit it does look sorta cute in bunnies. :3
Unfortunately, bunnies don't have super vision or anything.
But speaking of super vision, you know when you have glasses, people expect you to see things PERFECTLY? Like when you can't see the SMALLEST detail, ppl r like: lawl looks like yer glasses aren't working
Of course they are working. c:
I. Haz. Normal vision. with. dem. C:
[ Okai if you ever said this don't feel guilty because i am not offended. XD ]
When i first got glasses, i was amazed . .
By how ugly everything was.
Because i saw more detail, i thought everything was uglier. XP
[ btw i got used to it ]
so uhm ya.
But moving on, i have reached up to . . .
aww yis :3
It's getting a little crowded though. o-o
Shud i delete the JAGs? o_o
I might delete dem. I can't see new JAGS because of all the other JAGS.
JAGS . . what a weird word. heh.
It's not actually a word. Just a shortened version of "Jam-A-Grams."
Why not "mail?" Why Jam-a-gram?
Nu idea. C:
But mo

As you noticed, instead of taking a screenshot i simply copy & pasted the DE post, making it easier to read! :D
What do you think? :3
But anyway, that fox.
Look at it.
Closely . .
And . .
Why is it so enormous? Is AJHQ setting unrealistic beauty standards for FOXES now? >:C
What th-
Uhh okay. Maybe small tails are better. XP
Other foxes: WE WANT BIG TAILS!
Uh oh.
This is very bad. O_O
Other foxes: ew nvm
Former FABULOUS fox: but i thought chu likes big tails. :C
lol wut
. . . . . . . .
Just noticed that the trade is not fair. D:
And AJHQ is trying to educate us about avoiding scams.
But in the picture, the trade isn't fair.
. . .
But AJHQ had a post about scamming before, which had 2 tips. So now we have 4 tips in total! :D
But why couldn't AJHQ do that all in one post? :T
Also, AJHQ needs to have more detail about the methods of scamming. Not the best way to to stop scammers in my opinion . .
Scamming is like, stealing IRL. :C
Stealing = jail
So why do people do it on AJ? *sigh*
However, i noticed there's less scamming these days, so that's good. :D
Lastly, the answer to the True or false challenge is . .
Owls fall into the lower range of bird intelligence. Crows are much smarter.
here's a fun fact! c:
Squirrels plant thousands of trees each year by forgetting where they put their acorns!
That's pretty cool!
Bye for now! c:

Wal-Mart said that by February 2016, all current associates will be earning at least $10 per hour. The company employees 51,137 workers in Illinois.
Wal-Mart's move comes amid a national campaign by workers and unions to raise the minimum wage. While the federal minimum wage is $7.25, minimum wages exceed that in some parts of the country. In Chicago, an $8.25 minimum wage is set to rise to $10 on July 1 and to $13 by mid-2019.

NORTH CANTON, Ohio – The Walsh Cavaliers women's basketball team had a number of special moments on Saturday (March 2) as they defeated the Ursuline College Arrows 81-68. The Cavaliers earned the number one seed for the upcoming G-MAC Tournament, became regular season co-champions and senior Brittni Clopton capped her Senior Day with her 1,000th career point.

Art on Friday
This is my first Art on Friday for 2016. I thought it was an opportunity to share some of the projects/challenges I am planning to work on this year. (I'm including links if you'd like to participate in any of them)
In Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's recent blog post she shared 5 reason why she does art challenges. Two really spoke to me:
*Connects me with a community of other artists.
*Reminds me that regular practice really does lead to skills improvement.
Tag a Day
For 2016 I am creating a tag a day from scrap papers - handmade, painted, bits and pieces. Here are my latest:
January Boxes
I had seen an art project of a page of boxes and loved the idea of a box a day - to capture simple collages, found pictures or stamps. Here's the first 8 days:
Paper, Paint, Pencils, Pens!
I joined this community and try to take part in their twice monthly challenges.
Jan. 1 -15 the them is self-portrait.
Here's my watercolour self-portrait from a photo taken in 1998.(Don't you just love those glasses?? lol)
Colour Me Positive
I joined in with this weekly journalling challenge and am enjoying the change to work with quotes and art. Each Friday a new quote is posted and we are asked to respond.
Here is my first journal spread, with the theme gratitude:
Let's Play
Carolyn Dube is hosting a challenge this year to just play. The first week she asked us to use found materials.
For my project, I included used stamps and words cut from mail and magazine inserts to be recycled. A quick, fun project.

Wow that's a lot of great challenges. You've got some lovely pieces of artwork there Beverley,
I struggle with challenges, so I have to be picky and committed to only one or two a year. I know I'll never manage more than that.
I've got my own challenge going forward this coming year, which I hope to complete and will at some stage share with the PPF group.
Happy PPF to you

I have to say I totally love your self portrait. It has such a great look and it is retro somehow. And thanks for the list with the challenges. Glad to find you through PPF--I am new around the blog world and glad to make art friends. Happy to say I am a new follower. Dea xo

Wow, you have been creatively busy! I love the variety of art. A tag a day sounds like a great challenge, one I probably wouldn't be able to keep up with but you will have 365 great tags when done! I like the idea of creating a page based on a quote. It looks like a great challenge, and already you've got a wonderful page.

Yesterday I got to visit with my dear friends John and Lisa from Pennsylvania. They were up in New York City for a few days for their honeymoon and I was glad they etched out some time in their schedule for us to hook up!
Since I had to work that afternoon we met in Times Square. Lisa interviewed me for the radio/internet show she does, "The Kids Cookie Break" and told me about other interviews she'd gotten while she'd been in town.
In the middle of Times Square the Mountain Dew people had erected a huge snowboarding ramp with two individual lanes and complete with a huge truck blowing artificial snow on it. I'm not sure what the big event was for (we were told it wouldn't officially begin until 4:00) but it was pretty cool to see. You just never know what you're gonna see when you're walking down the street in this town!
John and Lisa both lived in New York many moons ago (Lisa had even worked at NBC for a short bit and had fun SNL stories to tell) so there was no pressure to show them all the cool stuff in town and impress them. Instead we just walked around and concentrated on catching up.
We grabbed some lunch at a great little French cafe (Maison was the name, I believe) and after that we made our way to Sam Ash Music stores so Lisa could get another disc for her recorder. While there she interviewed one of the employees about ukuleles and it was a great time.
Always good to see the Blowers!! Nothing like good friends and good conversation.
Tomorrow my dear friend Meridith is coming into town with her boyfriend Nate and I am looking forward to catching up with her (and meeting him)! This is the week of reconnecting! Yeeeeee!
