How To Remove Optimizer Pro By Pc Utilities Software Ltd.
Optimizer Pro (developed by PC Utilities Software Limited) is a paid PC performance optimizer program usually distributed by bundling to free software using pay-per-install marketing method.
So a user may not be aware why with every PC start a small window will annoy him with warning notifications showing total number of items the program wants to clean up on your PC. This window is launched without user's approval with the help of the following process - c:\program files(x86)\optimizer pro\optprolauncher.exe:
Here are some other facts about Optimizer Pro:
• Its folder size in Program Files is about 34 MB; so if it is installed by chance, more than enough place will be spent on your system drive in vain;
• With every Windows startup, 2 processes launch automatically taking away your PC performance:
• Optimizer Pro has an option to clean unnecessary programs from startup to speed-up boot time. And paradoxically it offers to remove itself as well:
• If you decide to fix errors spending money on a license for Optimizer Pro, you should pay attention to additional products that are pre-selected during sign-up:
• While being on the registration page, Optimizer Pro won't simply let you go – when you try to close the page, a message below opens reminding you about your PC being at risk, and offering 50% discount:
If you want to remove Optimizer Pro from your PC, please find below uninstallation steps.
Note. This is a self-help guide. Use it at your own risk. This article is provided "as is" and to be used for information purposes.
1. Before you start, please make sure you are logged as a system administrator. Also, please save a copy of your important documents/files on an external hard drive.
2. From your desktop, click on Windows Start button and choose Control Paneloption (Windows 8 users: right-click on 'Windows Start' icon (by default, it is located in the left bottom corner of your screen), and choose Control Panel from the context menu):
• Click 'Programs and Features' (Windows Vista, 7 and 8)/'Add or Remove Programs' (Windows XP).
• Find 'Optimizer Pro v3.2' in the list, right-click on it and choose 'Uninstall'. When a window below opens, please make sure to uncheck box 'Keep my settings' before clicking on 'Yes':
• Restart your PC
3. Please make sure that hidden files in your Windows Explorer are visible: Start –> Control Panel (Appearance and Personalization) –> Folder Options –> 'View' tab –> find 'Hidden files and folders' and choose an option 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives'.
4. Follow this path - C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Temp (XP users: C:\Documents and Settings\test\Local Settings\Temp) -> highlight all the files/folders here -> press 'Shift'+'Delete' and click 'Yes' to completely clean this folder (Note. If you receive messages that some files cannot be removed, just skip the file in question).

C:\Program Files(x86)\Optimizer Pro
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\Optimizer Pro
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Optimizer Pro v3.2
6. Now please remove Optimizer Pro traces from your registry. Before you start, please make sure you understand how important this part of your PC is. You cannot restore data from here once you delete something ('Ctrl+Z' never works in Registry Editor). And if you delete an incorrect component by mistake, it may damage your OS and make it unusable.

• Highlight main registry section called 'Computer' -> press Ctrl+F keys on your keyboard -> make sure Keys, Values, Data boxes in the 'Find' window are checked -> type Optimizer Pro in the search field and click OK. Search results will highlight a key/value/data that contains Optimizer Pro components. If you find the exact match with the name of the program you want to remove, right click on the element in question and choose 'Delete' from the context menu. If it's a value/data, right click on the value and choose 'Modify', then highlight harmful data and press 'Delete' key on your keyboard.
• Use F3 key to continue the search and to find all the necessary files.
• Exit the registry editor.
7. Finally, please install adaware antivirus to make sure you don't have any infections on your machine:

You love your Brazilwood plant, but did you know it could kill your cat? 😱
Cats are curious creatures, and they often nibble on plants to explore their environment. But some plants are deadly for them, and Brazilwood is one of them. 😵

- What makes Brazilwood toxic to cats, and how it affects their body
- The signs and symptoms of Brazilwood poisoning in cats, and when to seek veterinary help

Don't risk your cat's life by keeping Brazilwood in your home. Read this article now and find out how to make your home a safe haven for your cat. 🐱
Quick Takeaway
- Brazilwood is a toxic plant for cats because it contains Tannins toxin, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and other symptoms if ingested.
- The toxicity depends on how much the cat eats and how sensitive they are to it. Some cats may only have mild effects, while others may need urgent veterinary care.
- The treatment involves inducing vomiting, giving activated charcoal, and providing supportive care. The prevention involves keeping the plant out of the cat's reach or replacing it with a cat-safe alternative.
- There are many plants that are non-toxic to cats and have similar benefits as Brazilwood, such as spider plant, catnip, cat grass, and chamomile.
- Check the list of toxic plants for cats here: All toxic plants for cat
More About Brazilwood
Brazilwood (Paubrasilia echinata) is a tropical tree in the legume family that is endemic to Brazil. It has a dense, orange-red heartwood that takes a high shine, and is the premier wood used for making bows for stringed instruments. The wood also yields a red dye called brazilin, which oxidizes to brazilein. The name of Brazil is derived from this tree, as it was a valuable and lucrative trading commodity for the Portuguese explorers. Brazilwood is endangered due to overexploitation and habitat loss16171819
Why Is Brazilwood Toxic to Cats? 😿
Brazilwood is toxic to cats because it contains a Tannins Toxin . These Tannins Toxin have a bitter taste and can irritate the mouth, stomach, and intestines of animals that eat them.
This Tannins toxin in Brazilwood is mainly found in Wood, bark of the plant, which can be very toxic for your kitty. You should avoid giving Wood, bark of Brazilwood to your cat.
How Toxic Is Brazilwood to Cats? 😬
The toxicity of Brazilwood to cats depends on how much they ingested the toxin and how sensitive they are to it. Some cats may only experience mild symptoms, such as drooling, vomiting, or diarrhea. Others may have more severe reactions, such as lethargy, depression, loss of appetite, tremors, or bloody urine.
How to Identify Brazilwood
🌳🎨 Discovering Brazilwood 🌳🎨
Brazilwood, also known as Caesalpinia Echinata, is a striking tree with fern-like leaves and vibrant, red dye-producing wood. 🌿🌳 This tree is historically significant for its use in producing red dye for textiles, giving it the name "Brazil" in reference to the country. Brazilwood thrives in well-draining soil and enjoys full sunlight. 🏡☀ Due to overharvesting, the tree is now considered rare and is protected in many regions. Embrace the cultural and ecological significance of Brazilwood as it graces your outdoor spaces! 🏞🍃
What Are the Symptoms of Brazilwood Poisoning in Cats? 🤒
Because Brazilwood poisoning in cats can be deadly, you must be aware of early warning signs and symptoms. This way, you can get your cat the treatment they need as soon as possible and drastically limit the danger of it being a life-threatening scenario.
- Drooling
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargy
- Depression
- Tremors
- Bloody urine
- Pale gums
- Rapid breathing
- Collapse
If you notice any of these symptoms in your cat, you should contact your veterinarian immediately.
Also check if your cat has bite marks on the plant's leaves, to confirm Brazilwood poisoning. Speak with your veterinarian right away to seek advice on what to do. The sooner you seek medical attention, the less severe the symptoms of the poisoning will be.
Even if you cannot see any bite marks on the leaves, you should still contact your veterinarian. Something is obviously wrong with your cat. It's plausible they took a small bite and you didn't notice, or they were poisoned by something else in your house.
Brazilwood poisoning can be diagnosed by a physical exam, blood tests, urine tests, and sometimes x-rays or ultrasound.
Care for Brazilwood poisoned cat 💊
If your cat has eaten any part of the Brazilwood, the first thing you should do is call your veterinarian. They will likely provide your cat with the right treatment.
The treatment of Brazilwood poisoning in cats depends on the severity of the symptoms and the amount of plant material ingested. The main goals are to remove the toxin from the body and to support the vital functions.
The first step is to induce vomiting if your cat has eaten Brazilwood within the last two hours and is not showing signs of distress. This can be done by giving your cat a small amount of hydrogen peroxide (3%) by mouth or by taking them to the vet for professional help.
The next step is to give your cat activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is a black powder that binds to toxins in the stomach and intestines and prevents them from being absorbed into the bloodstream. It can be given by mouth or by tube feeding.
The final step is to provide supportive care. This may include fluids, electrolytes, anti-nausea medications, painkillers, antibiotics, and blood transfusions. Your cat may need to stay in the hospital for observation and monitoring until they recover.
How to Prevent Brazilwood Poisoning in Cats? 🚫
If you want to keep Brazilwood in your home, you need to take some precautions to prevent your cat from eating them. Here are some tips:
- Keep your plants in rooms that your cat cannot access. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of having plants without worrying about your cat's safety.
- Use hanging planters to keep your plants out of reach. Hanging planters are also stylish and can add some charm to your space.
- Use cat repellent sprays to deter your cat from approaching your plants. You can buy these sprays from pet stores or make your own with vinegar, water, and essential oils.
- Use physical deterrents to make it uncomfortable for your cat to get near your plants. You can use double-sided sticky tape or spike mats to create a barrier around your plants.
- Provide lots of cat toys to keep your cat entertained and distracted from your plants. Cats are curious and playful, so they need something more fun and interesting than your plants.
By following these tips, you can keep both your cat and your plants happy and healthy. 😊
Another option is to replace your Brazilwood plant with a cat-safe alternative. There are many plants that are non-toxic to cats and have similar benefits as Brazilwood. Some examples are:
- Spider plant: This plant has long, thin leaves that are easy to grow and care for. It can help purify the air and reduce stress in cats.
- Catnip: This plant has a strong aroma that attracts cats and makes them happy and playful. It can also help with digestion and anxiety in cats.
- Cat grass: This plant has short, green blades that are rich in fiber and vitamins. It can help with hairballs and dental health in cats.
- Chamomile: This plant has small, white flowers that have a soothing effect on cats. It can help with skin irritation, inflammation, and insomnia in cats.

Before long, you start to worry about the safety of every plant in your house. We have built an Infographic of all plants toxic for a cat. Names are arranged in alphabetical order to help you find your plant.

|Devil-worshiping President
Essentially, it covers two phases of my life, the first being from 1965, when I was 10 years old, to 2004. The second phase covers the period since 2004, when I was introduced to gang stalking, microwave harassment, a slander campaign, poisoning of my food and drinks, remote neural monitoring and various other forms of torture sponsored by the national security state.
My father sold me to the CIA when I was a young boy, probably around 3 years old, and I've been the property of the CIA ever since.
Certainly the most recent posts are more urgent, but the story of what happened to me should be of concern to you also because the objective of mind control is to turn you, your children and everyone else you care about in the whole, wide world into a microchipped, remote-controlled slave in the impending global fascist dictatorship, also known as the New World Order. See this
Gigantic Celestial Wrecking Ball Headed Toward Earth
Bizarre Masonic Atrocity Exposed, Part 1
Mind Control References in My Life
The Fugitive: From a Satanic Cult
References to Me in the Movies
They Caused Me to Have Two Serious Heart Attacks
Somehow I was able to break away from my programming, but I was then targeted by the next phase of the project, which involved the gradual destruction of my life.
See this post for a description of their current form of torture, which involves gang stalking and poisoning of my food and drinks by grocery stores and restaurants:
and read this article:
In my career, I pursued what I love -- finding out the truth, telling the truth and writing about the truth, and in so doing, I incurred the wrath of the evil people who rule this planet and ran it into the ground. I worked as a newspaper reporter and editor.
The movie "All the President's Men" was one thing that inspired me to pursue journalism, because it depicted the good guys winning and the bad guys getting what they deserved -- jail time. It turned out it was all a hoax, though. It was actually the CIA-controlled journalists getting rid of Richard Nixon because the Illuminati wanted him out.
The Washington Post doesn't work for the American people, it works for the Illuminati, like everybody else. So instead of thanking me for my efforts to preserve democracy, my "brothers and sisters" rewarded me by subjecting me to gang stalking, poisoning of my food and drinks by grocery stores and restaurants, and various other forms of torture and harassment sponsored by the National Security State.
At any rate, after I launched my Brussell Sprout blog in 2005, I discovered some important information about Planet X and various other subjects that I thought I should also share with everyone, including:
* The FBI and CIA have conducted an illegal slander campaign against me ever since I first got targeted back in 2004 for doing my job as a journalist.
Basically I reported the truth in the newspaper -- that the CIA killed President Kennedy and the FBI covered it up. So their agents go around and tell lies about me to people in the community and to all my friends in an effort to enlist their help in harassing me. They claim that I'm a drug dealer, a terrorist or a child molester or something ridiculous like that. Haha!
It's all a pack of lies! They do that to punish me for exposing their criminal activities. They also subject me to gang stalking, poisoning of my food and drinks, illegal surveillance and various other forms of torture and harassment designed by the military and the intelligence agencies.
I'm just an honest man who was doing my job as a reporter by telling the truth. I wanted you to know that because I don't like people telling lies about me behind my back, especially to my friends. If you ever hear anything like that, now you'll know the truth and you'll be able to see through their lies.
If I had ever done anything wrong, all they had to do was charge me with a crime and give me a chance to defend myself in court. But they never do that because they know I haven't done anything wrong and they would have no chance of convicting me of anything.
How would you like it if it happened to you? Now you know how I feel about it and why I fight back!
* Lately the CIA has been making all kinds of threats against my life, so I'm posting this information here so thousands of people all over the world will know what happened to me if I turn up dead unexpectedly of a heart attack or some other "natural" cause. They also murdered my mother with a heart attack on Oct. 3, 1991.
http://www.naturalnews.com/037917_Proof_of_Heaven_afterlife_Creator.html and this:
* We're all fallen angels who got kicked out of Heaven during the Lucifer rebellion. We were given a chance to redeem ourselves during our many incarnations on Earth. See this:
We're All Fallen Angels or Google "We're All Fallen Angels by Brussell Sprout."
We're All Fallen Angels or Google "We're All Fallen Angels by Brussell Sprout."
* Mankind has been held hostage by evil aliens for thousands of years, but the good guys are here now, and they're already intervening to free us from oppression:
Mankind Held Hostage by Aliens
* There's some evidence that the Earth is flat and stationary, and that the sun and moon revolve around the Earth. See this: The Earth Is Flat
* No planes hit the twin towers on 9-11. TV footage was faked, and the buildings were taken down by controlled demolition. See this:
No Planes on 9-11
And Google No Planes Hit the Twin Towers on 9-11.
* Freemasons in the CIA and FBI orchestrated the conspiracy that killed President Kennedy and framed CIA agent Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination, then had another one of their agents, Jack Ruby, kill Oswald to keep him from talking.
Incredibly, the latest evidence strongly suggests Jackie Kennedy was a CIA agent and also was one of the shooters in Dealey Plaza. She was carrying out orders from the CIA and ultimately from the highest level of government -- the Illuminati. See this:
JFK Article That I Wrote for the South Bend Tribune in 1992
and this:
and this:
and this: Harvey and Lee: How the CIA Framed Oswald
Notre Dame law professor G. Robert Blakey directed the cover-up while serving as the legal counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s. Read "The Last Investigation" by Gaeton Fonzi. See this: The Last Investigation
* When I was working as an editor at the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune in 1991, I was presented with a rare opportunity to put my beliefs into action. Now I realize that it was all a set-up, but it was a golden opportunity just the same, and I seized it.
Back in 1974, during my sophomore year at the University of Michigan, I discovered that President Kennedy was assassinated by a conspiracy and that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for the crime by the CIA. By 1991, I had read many books on the subject and was well-acquainted with the facts surrounding the case.
So when one of our book reviewers gave a favorable review to "Conspiracy of One," an absurd book that backed the lone-gunman theory, I responded by writing a series of book reviews that praised some books that exposed the conspiracy, including "High Treason," "Crossfire," "On the Trail of the Assassins" and "Plausible Denial."
Seven months later, my mother, Joan Beal of Indianapolis, died suddenly and unexpectedly at age 62 -- allegedly from a heart attack. It may indeed have been a heart attack, but since the CIA has long been able to induce fatal heart attacks by various methods, I believe she was murdered by the CIA to begin the process of dismantling my so-called life.
My mother was murdered on Oct. 3, 1991, exactly three years after Mae Brussell died. Mae was also murdered by the CIA for exposing their crimes, and so was her daughter, Bonnie. I named this blog after Mae because of her efforts to expose the JFK conspiracy and various other illegal activities carried out by the FBI, the CIA and lots of other corrupt government agencies.
I believe my mother was murdered on the three-year anniversary of Mae Brussell's death to send me the message that her death was not the result of a random heart attack, but that she was murdered in retaliation for my efforts to expose the JFK conspiracy.
My mom was not the only member of my family who was murdered because of the CIA mind-control project that destroyed my life and my family. See this:
Mike Beal: Another Victim of the Satanic Cult
* The Titanic was deliberately sunk to provide a cover story for the murder of John Jacob Astor, the powerful American businessman who opposed the plan to establish the corrupt Federal Reserve system. Astor was murdered aboard the Titanic before the ship went down. See this: The Titanic Conspiracy
* A comet caused the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 and several other catastrophic fires in Michigan and Wisconsin that same night. See this:
* Not even right-wing propaganda can turn a liberal into a fascist. Liberals support the Constitution and the values upon which this country was founded. The people who call themselves liberals today are not liberals, they're fascists. See this:
Liberals Are not Fascists
* Your daily coffee habit is slowly killing you. Here's an excerpt from an article entitled, "Caffeine Kills," by Stephanie Relfe:
A single 250 milligram dose of caffeine (the equivalent of about 2.5 six-ounce cups of coffee) has been shown to increase levels of the stress hormone epinephrine (adrenaline) by 200 percent.
Caffeine triggers a classic fight-or-flight reaction, which was designed for events that happened only occasionally (such as a lion chasing you). Now, we put our body in fight-or-flight every day with caffeine!!!
Read all about it here: Your Coffee Addiction Is Slowly Killing You
* College and professional sports are fixed. See my other blog:
In addition to those links, I would also encourage you to check out the links that are posted on the right-hand side of my blog. Many of them contain documentation for subjects addressed in my posts.
Perhaps the best way to read this blog would be to start with the most recent posts and then go into the archives and start reading my first few posts. A good place to start there would be with the first post, titled "How It All Started": http://brussellsprout.blogspot.com/2005/10/how-it-all-started.html
Most of the original posts deal with the situation I've encountered since 2004. Another good post to read right away would be "The Hidden Evil," which describes the gang-stalking phenomenon: http://brussellsprout.blogspot.com/2008/02/hidden-evil.html
and New World War
Most of the information about my life prior to 2004 is covered in the mind-control series, "Bizarre Mind-Control Atrocity Exposed," all written in February 2008. Start here: http://brussellsprout.blogspot.com/2008/02/bizarre-masonic-atrocity-exposed-part-1.html
More installments will be added as time permits -- that is, if I'm able to post them before being hauled off to a concentration camp, mental institution or prison. Since all our institutions are corrupt, it would be easy to frame me for some ridiculous offense, even though it would have no basis in fact.
I was targeted for extermination because I'm an honest person who was doing my job as a journalist by exposing corruption in the FBI, CIA, military and other government agencies. Also, I pose a security risk to the CIA because of my background in Project Monarch.
I think the event that may have brought on the gang stalking was something I posted on the Internet on the day of the 9-11 attacks to the effect that there was no way they could have been accomplished without the complicity of traitors in the CIA and the military. I thought that should have been obvious to everyone, but apparently it wasn't.
Now the evidence seems to indicate the Twin Towers were brought down with nuclear explosives and there were no airplanes involved. The TV footage of airplanes crashing into the buildings was fake. You can read about that here:
One of the most important points I'm trying to get across in this blog, for those of you who aren't already doing so, is never to trust the FBI, the CIA, the military, NASA or any other government agency. The refusal of most people to question authority has ruined this country and it has ruined my life. And that passion for conformity is something our children learn at a very early stage in life, thanks to our corrupt school systems. See this
What we need is more citizens who have moral courage. See this
What happened to me could never have been accomplished without the complicity of naive people who place too much trust in authority figures. See this: http://wifepoisonedme.wordpress.com/2013/11/28/gang-stalking-what-is-it-how-they-do-it-how-they-get-away-with-it/
I learned this lesson in 1974 when I was 19 years old and saw the Zapruder film for the first time. Up until then, I always trusted the government. When I found out the CIA killed President Kennedy and the FBI covered up the truth, I stopped trusting the government.
If more people had the courage to take a stand against authority, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.
Speaking of the mess we're in, the economy is not going to get better, and the main reason why is that it isn't supposed to get better. The Freemasons have been planning to dissolve the United States into a global fascist dictatorship for hundreds of years, and the events that are transpiring in the world today are the culmination of those plans. See this: www.overlordsofchaos.com/html/planned_takedown_of_financial_.htm
That's another important point I want to get across: Don't trust the Freemasons. If you know anyone who is a Freemason, make sure they understand that at the highest levels, all Freemasons worship Satan and they've been working for hundreds of years to destroy this world so the Antichrist can rule.
Most low-level Masons are not aware of the full truth. They think it's just a harmless fraternal organization, but it's not. The high-level Masons are behind most of the political assassinations that prevent honest people from gaining power in the UnitedStates. There's lots of information about The Brotherhood here: www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/manipulation/index.htm

The deliberate crashing of the global economy is one of several major events planned for the next few years. Other possibilities are a deliberately engineered Ebola pandemic (possibly using a vaccine), more terrorist attacks carried out by the intelligence agencies and blamed on ISIS, Al Qaeda or some other patsy, and World War III. Evidence suggesting that Al Qaeda never existed and is just a convenient patsy for the CIA is here: http://www.infowars.com/articles/terror/al_qaeda_does_not_exist_bin_laden.htm
The CIA has been attempting to get me to commit suicide for the past eight years, but I'm determined not to do it, and one of the main reasons why is that I don't want to give them the satisfaction. If you read this blog, you'll understand why.

Engineering services
Select from a broad range of engineering services
If you want results you can trust and the flexibility of working with extremely skilled engineers who know FEA and how it's applied to engineering problems like yours, MSC is a team you can rely on to improve your product development process.
We provide consulting support based on your specific needs and requirements. This could range from performing analysis for you on a project basis, one or two times a year, or providing full time staff members to help you create repeatable processes in-house.
"MSC has been a key partner on the LSAT program. Their Adams software and consulting services reduce development cost and risk by providing an understanding of weapon dynamics early in the design process and in more detail than can be obtained from physical testing." - Paul Shipley, AAI Textron
Quick-start projects
A quick-start project will provide you with an MSC consultant at your site to accelerate the returns on your software investment. The consultant will help you install and configure MSC software products for your environment, and provide general instruction for your staff in using the software in your product development process.
Knowledge transfer
The MSC engineering services team will perform simulations for you and then use the simulation as a basis for transferring the necessary knowledge to your staff. We do this through a step-by-step approach of training your team on the process we used to setup, simulate and post process your simulation. This ensures your teams are ready to successfully apply simulation to future design projects.
Staff augmentation
The MSC engineering services team can become an extension of your team, and provide on-site resources to augment your current staff. We will work with you to assign an industry expert to your staff and work hand-in-hand with the team until the project is complete and you are satisfied with the results.
On-site support
On-site support can be a true life-saver when you are in a situation where it is imperative that an expert be available at your facility when needed for either a short period of time, or the entire length of a design project which can sometimes be weeks, months or even years. You can always count on the MSC Services team to provide the flexibility to work with you whenever you are in a situation of needing on-site support. We have a team of experts across many engineering disciplines and industries, as well as in-depth knowledge of MSC products and third-party CAE products.
Simulation projects
If you only need to do analysis infrequently, the MSC engineering services team offers simulation projects and consulting to tackle your toughest problems. Our services team will work with you to understand your goals and your design problem first. Once we know what you are trying to accomplish, we will gather from you the necessary data such as CAD models, physical test data, and materials data, and then run your simulation for you.
Customisation and process automation
MSC Software products are highly customisable and extendable. Customisation allows customers to create specialised applications for proprietary processes within MSC Software tools. This can include custom user interfaces, automated reports, standardised modelling and simulation techniques, and specialised algorithms. MSC can then help you deploy and manage these customisations across your entire enterprise.
Methods development
MSC engineering services experts evaluate your simulation needs and work with your staff to determine how to use simulation software to efficiently simulate your problem. This may include establishing simplifying assumptions, customising numerical algorithms and correlating models to test.
Recent methods development projects include:
- Full vehicle NVH analysis
- Fluid-filled Bottle Drop testing
- Aerospace Global Loads prediction
- Aerospace Detailed Stress modelling
- Mechanisms analysis
- Cardiac stent analysis
- Elastomeric seal analysis
- And more...
Toolkit solutions
Our services team has developed numerous solution toolkit extensions that provide capabilities for specialised applications. Solution toolkits provide tailored user interface environments for industry-specific simulations. Learn more...
Simulation data and process management
MSC's SimManager provides a powerful system for managing simulation data and processes. Out-of-the-Box, SimManager can provide instant value by maintaining the linkages and pedigree of the variety of data that is input to and output from a simulation and by enabling management to quickly assess the state of simulation tasks in the enterprise. MSC's services can help install and implement SimManager and customise it for your unique data and processes.

So I've decided to go through my lipstick collection with a fine tooth comb again by wearing everything for a full day and then deciding whether it stays or goes - very much like PetitePearStyle in her Keep or Donate series (here). I slowly go through all of my make-up stash anyway by using a monthly make-up basket, but because I switch out my products quite infrequently, it would take me a long time before I got to every lip product I own - and then I'd probably omit these 'special occasion' shades since my basket (in reality, a drawer in a desk organizer - I'll show it to you some other time) consists of casual everyday wear type of products. Anyway, without further ado, here are swatches of what I wore recently and my final thoughts:
Essence Stay With Me Long Wearing Lip Gloss in Candy Bar (also swatched here): DECLUTTER.I'm attempting to wear brighter colors for spring 🌈 but when I tried on this @essencemakeup Stay With Me #lipgloss in Candy Bar 🍭this morning, I immediately thought NOPE 👎 . It looks more neon on the lips than in this photo and I almost can't believe I used to love this shade. The gloss is about 2 years old now so I think it's time to part ways 👋 I'm also in the process of going through all my lip products and reevaluating what I want to keep. I gravitate towards more neutral shades these days (with the exception of some reds and berries) and I don't want to have a lot of brights 'just in case'. Let me know if you want to see what I end up #decluttering. #bbloggers #lipswatch #brightlips #wakeupandmakeup #essencecosmetics #drugstoremakeup #springmakeup #ultabeauty #corallips #shopmystash #makeupdeclutter
This is the product that spurred this declutter on, which I also shared on Instagram - and had many of you express interest in seeing the rest of the purging process. Like I said in my IG post, I used to really enjoy wearing this very bright coral shade, but now I find that it's just way too much and I feel overly made-up when I wear it. It's also 3 years old at this point, so I've just decided to toss it.
here): KEEP.
I still really like this gloss formula from Fresh - it feels almost more like a lip oil than an actual gloss, and like the Sugar lip balms, it's very nourishing. Rose is a sheer warm rosy red on me; it's nothing spectacular but it brings some life and definition to my lips. One thing I dislike about these Lip Shine minis is that the stopper pulls too much of the product of the wand, making me dip in at least 5 times to coat my lips, and who has time for that? And once you take the stopper out, the tube usually becomes too messy to carry the product around. Still, I'm keeping it and intend to try and use it up this year; I've just noticed that Sephora now only carries one shade of this product, so it's probably being discontinued :(
Goddess is this super trendy muted cool mauve shade with an almost greyish undertone, and since I really like cool-toned mauves, I was excited to try it. Aaand... big fat NOPE. Unfortunately, this shade makes me look quite ill, and I don't need additional help in that direction with how zombie-like I look nowadays (pale winter skin + lack of sleep). Yes, it could be a statement lip if that's your thing, but for a strange but wonderful purple lip, I'd prefer to wear Pacifica Beach Goth (reviewed here). On the plus side, I found this gloss to have a nice even pigmentation, comfortable texture and pleasant vanilla scent, so I would consider purchasing a different shade. Goddess is going though.
reviewed here): KEEP.
I still really enjoy this luxury lipstick, both because of the shade and the onctuous formula that feels nourishing on the lips. I would probably purchase another shade if SUQQU was more easily available to me (and less expensive), but as it is, I'm intending to use Fuyuzakura down to the smallest nub and enjoy it as much as I can in the process.
In fact, the lip swatch you're seeing here is only half Pink Passion and half Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment in Tulip (reviewed here). You probably were not able to tell right away though because these hot pinks are near exact dupes. However, the textures of these two products are completely different: where the Fresh Sugar is soft and thick, the bareMinerals is thin and waxy. Pink Passion also somehow migrates towards the outside of my lips right after application (which you can somewhat see in the photo). I have no need or want for two hot pink tinted lip balms in my stash, so I'm giving away the formula I like a lot less.
That's it for this round; I've decided to only include five products in this post because truthfully, I usually don't wear make-up every single day of the week, but even if I do, I usually repeat a shade or two at least once. I hope this was interesting to read - I'm getting more and more ruthless in downsizing my make-up collection, you guys. I think once you catch the decluttering bug, it's hard to stop scrutinizing your possessions (unless you did an exceptionally thorough job the first time round and haven't added anything new since). Have you given away or trashed any lip poducts recently?

The Truth, Some of the Truth, Some of the Time…
"The problem with Internet quotations is that many are not genuine."
– Abraham Lincoln
from Clayton Cramer, via Tomorrow Museum.
As we engage the elements of epistemology, we might recall that it was on this date in 1937 that Hal Foster debuted his long-running comic strip Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur, or more familiarly Prince Valiant. Foster had earlier distinguished himself drawing Tarzan; when he pitched his original idea to William Randolph Hearst, the baron was so impressed that he (uncharacteristically) gave Foster full ownership of the strip.
The Arthurian saga is clearly meant to take place in the mid-Fifth century, but Foster juiced both the story and its setting with anachronistic elements: Viking longships, Muslims, alchemists and technological advances not made before the Renaissance all play roles; while many of the the fortifications, armor and armament used are from the High Middle Ages.
The strip continues to this day, now in the hands of Mark Schultz and Gary Gianni… and is available on the verisimilitudinally-challenged internet.

Bill puts on a headset, sits down, and answers the phone. "Hello, this is Microsoft Product Support, William speaking. How can I help you?"
Bill talks with the customer, collects the details of the problem, searches in the product support Knowledge Base, sifts through the search results, finds the solution, and patiently walks the customer through fixing the problem.
The customer is thrilled that William was able to fix the problem so quickly, and with such a pleasant attitude. Bill wraps up the call. "And thank you for using Microsoft products."
At no point did Bill identify himself as anything other than William. The customer had no idea that the product support engineer who took the call was none other than Bill Gates.

Happy Valentine's Day, TV fans!
Sadly, we don't have chocolates or roses to shower upon you (we're sending virtual love), but we do have lots of juicy TV scoop to make up for it, including what the future holds for The Vampire Diaries' Klaus and Caroline now that he's getting his own spinoff, whose family members we'll soon be meeting on Scandal, and a Revenge star teases the big death that will rock the Hamptons! Plus, we've got spoilers on The Walking Dead, The Office, Grey's Anatomy and more, so put on some Barry White and prepare to get your Spoiler Chat on...
Diane: When are you announcing the results for TV's Top Couples?
Later today, so check back for the winners…and the reaction from the champion couple!
Joinacruise: Any chance of Klaroline in the spinoff? #TVD
We asked the very charming Joseph Morgan that very question regarding The Originals, and we're sure fans of Klaus and Caroline will like his answer! "There are going to be characters that cross over between the two worlds. The whole world is going to be richer," he explains. "It would imagine all the fans that have been so generous to me are going to want to see what happens with Caroline…I feel like I owe it to the fans for there to be some resolve and for her to possibly turn up in New Orleans at some point. I know there's already talks about different characters that can come over to New Orleans and then go back." For more TVD scoop from Morgan, check back with us later today!
kimma_S: Scandal scoop please.
Our scandalous world is expanding, y'all! Fans will meet two members of one of our character's family in episode 18. Vague? OK, fine. We're meeting Hollis' wife and daughter! His wife Deborah is described as smart and fabulous, while his daughter Nikki is a wild child. Uh-oh!
Trisha in Toronto: I'm gonna go ahead and beg for Walking Dead spoilers. This season is blowing my mind!
You think the midseason premiere was intense? Just you wait. Rick's prison is about to get a few more visitors. Actually, make that a whole lot of visitors...not all of whom are breathing. But it's the way that those zombies get to the prison that makes for one of the most dramatic moments of this season so far.
Erin R.: Office spoilers, please.
Tonight's episode, titled "Moving On," revolves around exactly that: people moving on. Executive producer Greg Daniels told us that someone does get fired near the end of the season, and we wouldn't be surprised if tonight was the night. "I think we're getting near the end now, so we are trying to figure out the ways that all these people will be moving on," Jenna Fischer says. "Either with Dunder Mifflin, without Dunder Mifflin, with each other or without each other…and I think a lot of the endings might surprise people." Bonus scoop: Michael Scott is back! Sort of. Pam interviews at a real estate agency in Philadelphia (yes, she's making it work with her hubby), and the boss there is very much like her old boss Michael, which does not thrill Mrs. Halpert in the least.
Yvonne: After the last episode of Revenge, I'm having some serious anxiety. I need scoop!
Yeah, that anxiety probably won't go away anytime soon. "After every wedding, you must have a death, so someone's dying." Ashley Madekwe tells us. "The life expectancy on that show is insane. In the first season, we didn't know who was dying. We just knew somebody was dying, because we had that body on the beach. But in this season, we knew in advanced who was dying." Who do you think it is, Revenge fans?
Cindy: Grey's Anatomy scoop, please!
The ABC hit is currently looking to cast a 10-year-old named Aidan who is traumatized after his parents are involved in an accident. Sounds simple enough, right? This is the part that intrigues us: He'll first appear in episode 19 and recur throughout the rest of the season. Hmmm...
FangirLEEng: Does Spoiler Chat hate Hawaii Five-0 or something? Dying for some scoop!
We apologize for our negligence and will make it up to you with one serving of McGarrett-related Hawaii Five-0 scoop, OK? Prepare for flashbacks! In an upcoming episode, we'll see McGarrett way back when he was in Navy SEAL training and we'll meet someone who was very, very important to him.

Our History
In 1994 the Department's structure consisted of two Branches namely Land Transport and Civil Aviation and Shipping. The establishment consisted of 1383 posts. The Department had two DDG's with 7 Chief Directors and 15 Directors.
1996 - Rationalisation of Departmental Structures
During 1996 there was a call from Cabinet that posts had to be rationalised to cut on personnel expenditure. During this phase the Operational Licensing Boards were transferred to the Provinces, the transfer of this function left the Department with 1109 posts. However, the Department abolished vacant posts during December that year leaving an approved establishment of 1047 posts.
1998 - DoT structure focusing on policy and strategy formulation, regulation and safety and setting standards and guidelines
In terms of the White Paper on Transport Policy of 1996 (currently under review), the Department's primary role was reviewed and re-aligned to focus on policy and strategy formulation, regulation and safety as well as the setting of standards and guidelines. Through the establishment of four Agencies in 1998, the Department was enabled to reduce its direct involvement with the provision of infrastructure, services and operations.
The four agencies that were established were
- South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL)
- Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA)
- South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA)
- South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA).
The restructuring process of 1998 was geared at meeting the challenge of government to downsize employee numbers even further. This was achieved by leaving the Department with 250 posts and two Branches.
The Department's structure consisted of:
- Administration headed by the Director General and supported by the Chief Director Corporate Support;
- Branch: Policy, Strategy and Implementation headed by the Deputy Director General; and
- Branch Regulation and Safety headed by the Deputy Director General.
1999- 2002 DoT structure dealing with Dangerous Goods and Rail Transport and Safety
The restructuring process during this period was not scientifically done and soon it became clear that the new structure could not make provision for any new key national service delivery challenges as identified by parliament. Over the period 1999 to 2002, various posts were created and added to the establishment. The Department became responsible for the transportation of Dangerous Goods and there was a Cabinet decision that the Department had to take responsibility for Rail Transport and Safety.
2003 - DoT structure taking care of transport infrastructure and the number of DDG posts increased to four (4)
The non-involvement of the Department in transport infrastructure forced the Department to review the structure and to make provision for those areas where there was a serious shortage of capacity. In 2003 the re-aligned structure was approved by the Minister of Transport, which expanded the structure to four Branches, as a decision was taken to provide a post of Deputy Director General for the Branch Administration, which was previously managed by the Director General. The establishment expanded to 462 posts.
The expansion was aimed at providing additional capacity in the following areas:
- Aviation and maritime policy development;
- Freight policy and planning
- Rail policy and planning;
- Ensure the promotion of integrated transport planning and integrated land transport infrastructure and operations; and
- Overseeing and monitoring public entities/agencies reporting directly to the department.
The following branches were created on the structure:
- Branch Administration;
- Branch Transport Policy and Regulation;
- Branch Land Transport Management; and
- Branch Public Transport and Planning.
2004 – DoT structure dealing with freight logistics and transport planning and number of DDG posts increased to six (6)
The Department embarked on another round of re-structuring in 2004 and in August 2004 DoT's Structure expanded from 4 Branches to 6 Branches. This restructuring was aimed at strengthening Freight Logistics and creating a Branch dedicated to transport planning and infrastructure coordination. The post establishment was increased to 551 posts.
The Department consisted of the following Branches:
- Branch Administration;
- Branch Transport Policy and International and Regional Integration;
- Branch Transport Regulation and Public Entity Oversight;
- Branch Integrated Infrastructure Coordination;
- Branch Freight Logistics and Corridor Development; and
- Branch Public Transport.
The Railway Safety Regulator was established to oversee safety in the railway transport industry.
2005 - Establishment of the Road Traffic Management Corporation
The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) was established in terms of Section 3 of the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) Act, No. 20 of 1999, and commenced with the preparation of a Business Plan and Strategy for its operationalisation in April 2005.
2006 - Re-aligned Structure
The Minister of Transport approved a re-aligned structure on 16 May 2006 which was to be implemented in phases over three years. The re-aligned structure expanded the Department's establishment from 551 to 1021 posts in the various key areas. In Phase I, the establishment of the Department was expanded with 98 posts. Treasury approved partial funding for the new structure, which amounted to R20 million. An additional R9 million was appropriated through a re-prioritising exercise of the budget. Phase I was rolled out from June 2006. The objective of Phase I was to establish key management positions to initiate the focus areas as set out above. Phase II allowed the department to activate additional posts and the total number of posts in the Department stood on 671 activated posts. Some of the posts remained un-activated due to a lack of funds.
2007 - Ports Regulator
A new agency was added to the Department's stable in the form of the Ports Regulator of South Africa which was established under the provisions of the National Ports Act, 2005. Under this Act, the main functions of the Ports Regulator are to:
- Exercise economic regulation of the ports system in line with government's strategic objectives;
- Promote equity of access to ports and to facilities and services provided in ports;
- Monitor the activities of the National Ports Authority to ensure that it performs its functions in accordance with this Act; and
- Process complaints and appeals under the Ports Act.
2009-2011 New Service Delivery Model
Department restructured to a new service delivery model changing to the four modes of transport with the focus on Policy, Strategy and Regulation, Industry and Infrastructure Development and Safety, Security and Environment. The structure also includes Public Transport, Integrated Transport Planning for Coordination between the 4 modes of transport and the Transport Information Systems to provide effective ICT for the Department and supporting Agencies. The Agencies still the main deliverer of transport operations. The number of Transport Agencies has grown from the original 6 to 13.
They are as follows:
- Airports Company of South Africa;
- Air Traffic and Navigation Services;
- South African National Roads Agency Limited;
- South African Civil Aviation Agency;
- South African Maritime Safety Agency;
- Cross Border Road Transport Agency;
- Rail Safety Regulator;
- Road Traffic Management Corporation;
- PRASA Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa;
- Ports Regulator;
- Road Traffic Infringement Agency; and
- AARTO Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences.
The Department is also endeavouring to reduce the number of contractors as per Treasury instructions.
The Implementation of the new structure started in 2012 but due to a lack of sufficient funds certain areas are still being phased in and will continue until 2016.
Additional funds have been provided by National Treasury to improve staff compliments in critical areas e.g. Public Entity Oversight, Internal Audit and Supply Chain Management. The current number of approved posts on the structure stands on 852 posts. The National Public Transport Regulator's Board was approved by Cabinet and members of the Board will start to perform the functions relating to the Act. The functions include issuing operating licences for tourist transport and intern provincial transport.
Road Transport is developing capacity for infrastructure by introducing candidate engineering posts to manage the infrastructure planning and deal with the grants which are allocated to the provinces and the municipalities. The most effective way to monitor the grants is to allocate an engineer to each province to "follow the money" and to ensure effective project management of road re-habilitation projects.

I have lived all my life scrupulously avoiding trying to explain why people do things: I focus on what they are doing.
Trying to figure out what people are actually doing is difficult enough for me. Simple person that I am, if it quacks, waddles, has a flat beak and looks like a duck, I accept that it's a duck and proceed accordingly.
I know people who would analyze whether the duck is an ugly swan, or whether it wants to make you think it's a duck but isn't, or whether it's a duck who's struggling to get its inner sheep to come out to play. While pondering these scenarios might be interesting, for the greater part they are a huge waste of time: you still have a duck.
Beyond a certain point, I stop looking into motivation, psychology or idiosyncrasies and simply try to accept what is there as best I can. Needless to say, mine is a very simplistic approach, as you surely noticed from this post last year.
Having said this, at times I succumb to the temptation of trying to explain why some people do some things. Recently I've been thinking about the issue of control.
A couple of weeks ago I posted the opening to the Kenneth Branagh film of Much Ado About Nothing, which starts with,
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no moe,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leafy:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
At that time a woman friend (an old friend from pre-blogging days) had been watching the movie and we conversed about whether Shakespeare shortchanges men ("Men were deceivers ever… The fraud of men was ever so"), and whether Shakespeare offers valuable advice.
We both agreed that the advice is priceless, and worth living by. She wished she had learned of it earlier.
But we agreed for different reasons: she agreed because she has been treated badly by the men in her life, who indeed were deceivers ever. I have lived a much more protected life and my experience has been much better, and as I am an optimist and have been very independent from a very early age (I graduated high school at age sixteen by completing all the requisite courses because I didn't like my all-girls' school), I'm all for being blithe and bonny and letting go of sighs and woes, and avoiding hanging one's life on someone else's whims and wishes.
My friend, whose second husband had just left her, also talked about The Rules. The Rules essentially says that women should live the best lives they can and let men chase them.
Sounds good to me. I've been married for decades so I wouldn't know whether The Rules work in today's convoluted courtship capers. The Rules has been accused of being manipulative but I would wager that the fact still remains that men still like to chase women and women still want to be chased.
The problem comes up when one is trying to control the other.
A lot of women want to dominate everyone around them. They are driven mostly by insecurity but also by anger, and sometimes the wish for power. Most men actively resent domineering women and can be driven to all sorts of crazy behavior out of spite. Some men want to dominate, too. While independent women like myself are not interested in domineering men, some domineering men see this as a bull sees a red cape and charge ahead.
Whether it's on a personal relationship, a professional situation, or just general everyday interaction, nothing puts me off more than a guy who's trying to control me.
It seems to me, however, that the more appealing men are those who allow women to be all they are without trying to control them, which makes the woman more willing to surrender at the right time. The least controlling the guy, the better.
Why do some guys have this urge to control, then? Is it insecurity, anger, the desire for power over others, as it is in women, or is there more to it? Why do some guys seem to charge full speed ahead near independent women?
Yesterday I was talking to a male friend, who explained that independent women sometimes scare and anger men. Frustrated men need to compete and dominate: "some men need to dominate first before they can share. Others, better adjusted, are not threatened by those kinds of things," my friend explained, "It's pretty straightforward."
So I ask you, dear readers, what is your opinion?

PerlMonks Editorby GrandFather (Saint)
|on Apr 13, 2006 at 22:08 UTC ( #543242=CUFP: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
This is the first cut of a PerlMonks offline wysiwyg editor. It may be used to wysiwig edit material for posting on PerlMonks and generates the common HTML and PerlMonks special tags used in PerlMonks node markup.
The code uses Tk and should be reasonably cross platform.
This first cut is missing a lot of functionality but is being posted to garner initial reactions and make it available to the curious (I'm off on holiday for a few days and won't be able to work on it for another week).
Important missing stuff includes - no readmore handling, save/open partially implemented (and disabled), keyboard accelerators not working (and disabled), much markup not hooked up.
Basic use entails using the editor to generate the material to be posted, then using File|Render to render the marked up material to the clipboard so that it can be pasted into the edit field of the node being written or edited.
Update: brief use description added

With iOS 10, HomeKit users might not have to go hunting for third-party control apps anymore.
That's because Apple is reportedly making a centralized HomeKit app of its own. This will allow users to manage their connected lights, locks, thermostats, and more through a single iPhone or iPad app, designed by Apple.
Under the current HomeKit system, users must download separate apps for all of the smart home devices they've installed. Each of these apps includes a HomeKit setup interface for creating rooms, scenes, and triggers, but features can vary from one app to the next, and users still have to bounce between different apps to control their devices manually.
To fill the gap, several third-party apps are currently available to centralize HomeKit control and management, including Home, Devices, and Kontrol. All of these are paid apps, which could be rendered unnecessary if Apple releases one of its own.
The source of this rumor is a bit sketchy: It comes from an Amazon review in which the writer claims to work for Apple's marketing department, and says Apple is developing a standalone HomeKit app for the next version of iOS.
Macrumors claims to have verified the source, and notes that Apple has already trademarked a "Home" icon for HomeKit. On the other hand, 9to5Mac reported a year ago that Apple was planning a Home app for iOS 9, and that rumor never panned out. Even if Apple is planning such an app for iOS 10, it's always possible for plans to change.
Why this matters: It's unclear why Apple didn't launch HomeKit with a dedicated app to begin with, but perhaps the company figured device makers would do a good enough job including setup and control features in their own apps. In any case, an official app would bring clarity and convenience to HomeKit users, while possibly serving as an example of how device makers can integrate HomeKit controls into their own apps.

I know a lot of people who are stressing out about all they need to do before Christmas arrives. I have never been one to get too worked up about things. I plan ahead, but admittedly am a last minute doer. Still, I try not to let things like hosting big dinner parties or having the family Christmas celebration at my house stress me out. Maybe that is because I know that the people I invite will love me no matter what. There is no need to get all worked up worrying about everything being "just right".
A lot of people won't even host get togethers at their house because the thought of having people over, judging their hosting abilities, stresses them to pieces. I hate hearing that because I know that I get so much joy out of sharing my home with others. I am happiest when we have a house full of people, a big meal to share, and lots of wine to drink 😉
When I host parties, which I do quite often, I normally get all of the guests involved. That really helps to take 100% of the pressure off of me. I let people know what is going to be on the menu and ask them to bring sides or desserts or appetizers that will complement the menu. Many times, the people I invite are thrilled to be asked to contribute and are happy to help out.
Another thing I do when hosting parties is to make sure I have a good mix of shortcut options available. If my kitchen is going to be full and a lot of things will be going on, I try not to do too many complicated things at once. Use your crock pot, have on hand some Boxed Chicken Stock… just think of things that might make your day go by a bit easier. One huge lifesaver when I am hosting parties are Pillsbury ready made crusts. I've mentioned before that I have a love/hate relationship with pie crusts, so why would I add what I consider to be a stressful task onto my plate when Pillsbury pie crusts make the job simple.
Remember, when you are starting to stress out this holiday season that the people you are hosting are not judging you, your food, or your home. If they are truly your friends, their focus will be on spending the holiday's with you and building special memories. Make your life a little easier by remembering that not everything has to be done the hard way. Give yourself the permission to sleep in a little longer and use some of the handy shortcuts that are available to us on the market today!
The lovely team at Pillsbury recently sent me a basket full of goodies… 2 glass pie plates, an adorable Crate and Barrel tin of pie crust shape cut out tools, an Oneida pie server and a CD full of photos and recipes to use with their ready made Pie Crusts. Being the generous people they are, the team decided that one of my readers deserved a basket too – so I'm giving one away! To sweeten the deal, I am throwing in a copy of Cooking Light's Essential Recipe Collection of Desserts cookbook. To enter the giveaway, in the comment section of this post simply tell me one shortcut that you use in the kitchen that helps you to stay sane. All comments must be made by midnight on Wednesday, December 24th. The winner will be chosen through the Random Number Generator and will be announced sometime after Christmas day!

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) against covering up the NYSC certificate forgery case against Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, with a purported investigation.
This call is coming from PDP on the heels of allegations that Mrs. Adeosun did not participate in the mandatory one-year national youth service scheme, and instead, forged an exemption certificate many years after graduation.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP said a simple process of matching the serial numbering, date and authorising signature on Mrs. Adeosun's certificate does not require a lengthy investigation or the current "shenanigan" going on at the NYSC headquarters.
"It is instructive for NYSC to note that all issues in the news report that Mrs. Adeosun forged her NYSC Exemption Certificate as well as reports that the Presidency is mounting pressure on NYSC to cover up for the minister are already in the public domain."
He said Nigerians are closely monitoring this issue and the public is already aware of pressure on the NYSC leadership to announce a misplacement of relevant files and other excuses to achieve a dead end in the investigation.
"The NYSC must therefore know that its reputation is highly at stake as Nigerians are already agitated over the questionable delay by the Corps in coming out with an answer on a direct issue that requires a simple computer or even manual file check at its headquarters."
"NYSC is advised to have in mind that in this age of global Information Communication Technology (ICT), there is nothing anybody can do to suppress or distort facts, even in the public service."
"Any attempt to cover up will invoke the wrath of Nigerians and irredeemably rubbish the integrity and respect the Corps has earned over the years."
"The NYSC must therefore not allow its reputation to be dragged in the mud by the discredited All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration that has become notorious for concealment of fraud and sharp practices by its officials."
It would be recalled that NYSC had in a statement by its director of public relations, Adenike Adeyemi, said the service will "investigate the origin of the purported Exemption Certificate in question". .

Intel is putting a sharp focus on expanding its custom processor and chip operations in response to a growing trend of companies building servers in-house to meet specific workloads or data center designs.
Last year, Intel has supplied custom processors to 18 companies, most notably eBay and Facebook, said Diane Bryant, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Datacenter and Connected Systems Group, in an interview.
"That trend is growing. In the last year we've delivered 18 custom silicon processor solutions for the full array of customers—our direct customers, the OEMS and the end users—in order to meet their specific needs," said Bryant, who runs Intel's most profitable group.
The growing custom processor business will supplement Intel's bread and butter server chip business, consisting of selling generic Xeon processors available in rack, tower and blade servers sold by companies like Dell and Hewlett-Packard. But server infrastructures are changing with the growing adoption of cloud computing, big data and other applications, which has translated into a growing demand for custom processors, Bryant said.
Companies like Facebook and Google with mega data centers design servers in-house, and get them made from direct server suppliers like Quanta. The barebones servers typically cut excess components and are good enough to handle the growing cloud transactions such as search requests and social networking tasks. Facebook and Google have experimented with ARM processors in servers, while Tilera processors have also been tested.
"When you work with these end users who have technology as their core business, they are very clear on what is required," Bryant said. "They know what their workloads are, what their various applications are, they know what metric they are looking to hit from a performance per total cost of ownership."
The level of processor and chip customization varies with the workload, data center design, and even cooling solutions. Bryant provided an example where a flexible cooling system in a data center would allow customers to run processors at a higher frequency.
"We will have customers that have a very [specific] power target, so we will create versions whether its through changes in frequency, changes in core count, changes to drive down the power," Bryant said.
Customers usually give information about the applications they are running, the accelerators they need, the performance and power consumption levels they are looking to hit. Intel then customizes processors and chips that meets the specifications. Some customers in the technology and the data center business get specific about the server infrastructure.
"It all boils down to scale. I had one cloud service provider who had told me a single application is running across tens of thousands of servers. You can afford to tune that server very targeted against that application and eke out every bit of performance at ever lower cost of operations," Bryant said.
Intel is also now able to build system-on chip (SoC) designs, in which the CPU is combined with other accelerators, I/O, graphics and other processing units. That makes it easier to build custom processors and chips, Bryant said.
"With our SoC capability now, we can actually do rapid turns of our base product with very unique accelerators. Whether it's voice recognition acceleration or encryption or graphics acceleration… all the different types of accelerators that are targeted at different apps. We can deliver unique products there too," Bryant said.
Prepareing for the next generation of processors
Intel next year will release Xeon server chips based on the Broadwell processor core, which will succeed Haswell. Bryant said that the server SOC will also help optimize the chip to workloads, be it analytics or cloud.
"We have this wonderful Xeon core, and now Intel has a system-on-a-chip capability where we can rapidly turn out grabbing different intellectual property blocks and accelerators. Why not take this Xeon core and marry it with the SoC capability, and come up with… very [specific] processors targeted at unique capabilities," Bryant said.
In some ways, Intel is taking the same route as Advanced Micro Devices, which is creating custom chips based on its CPU and graphics architectures, but largely for non-server products. AMD's custom chips will be used in the upcoming Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One gaming consoles.
Intel is also investing in software development to tie applications directly to chip development. The chip maker has released its own version of Hadoop, and is also actively contributing an orchestration layer to OpenStack so resources are effectively allocated at server, storage and network levels in distributed computing environments.
Beyond the server, Intel is also looking to change data center design. One of the projects called Rack Scale aims at decoupling the processing, I/O and storage units in data centers with faster throughput mechanisms.
"Instead of a rack being 24 servers slotted in, with each of those servers with compute, memory and I/O, instead break that artificial barrier of the server down and look at it at the rack level. And create pools of compute, memory and I/O so that the application can access and use whatever capacity it needs," Bryant said.
The company is expected to announced a new optical throughput standard called MXC, which will be detailed at the Intel Developer Forum next month. The company is also developing processors for different target markets, Bryant said. Intel will also announce a new Atom processor called Rangeley for embedded networking devices in early September, ahead of IDF.
"We have hundreds of microprocessor products to cover the entire space," Bryant said.

Ten... Monster tellies
The big picture show
Philips Cinema 21:9 Gold
The latest addition of Philips individualistic 21:9 range is a significant improvement feature-wise on what's gone before. Freeview HD finally makes a belated appearance, the set is net-connected and there's support for low cost (here dubbed 'Easy') Passive 3D.
Interestingly, the 21:9 screen shape works particularly well with 3D; the 2.40:1 aspect ratio really seems to enhance the cinematic, stereoscopic effect of 'Scope movies. The new LED backlit panel offers deep blacks and high levels of motion detail.
Unfortunately Philips on-line portal, Net TV, is a bit of a dud, but by way of compensation the screen sports fancy Ambilight – aka mood lighting for blokes – side-illumination.
Reg Rating 80%

Samsung UE60D8000
Samsung's LED flagship is a breathtaking example of contemporary TV design. As effortlessly pretty as it is expensive, with an edge-lit panel just 29.7mm thin and more features than you can waggle a remote at, this is a definitely a big screen for the Made in Chelsea crowd.
Integrated Wi-Fi makes it easier than ever to access Samsung's on-line Smart portal, while media playback from USB is comprehensive.
The UE60D8000's 3D images are bright and poppy, with only mild double-imaging spotted, while 2D Full HD offers dazzling contrast and incisor sharp resolution. If ever there was a screen made to watch Frozen Planet on, this is it, but like the Panny flagship set, it comes at a price.

1301.0 - Year Book Australia, 2003
ARCHIVED ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 24/01/2003
|Page tools: Print Page
In May 2001, 2.6 million people aged 15-64 years had applied to enrol in a course of study (table 10.46). Of all applicants, 91% gained a place and were studying.
Between 1996 and 2001, the demand for education increased, as did the number of people being accepted into educational institutions. Although there was a rise in the number of enrolment applications across all age groups, there was a slight decrease in the number of people unable to gain placement in courses (graph 10.47).
While participation in education may occur at any age, many young people continue in full-time education immediately after completing compulsory schooling, either in post-compulsory schooling or within other forms of education such as VET. Some young people also return to full-time study after a period of absence some time after completing compulsory schooling. In all, 77% of 15-19 year olds at May 2001 were in full-time education (including 51% still at school). At age 20-24 years, 23% were undertaking full-time study (including less than 1% still at school) and 12% were participating in part-time tertiary study (table 10.48).
Many people aged 25 years and over return to study, to upgrade their skills or to gain new skills, and often in conjunction with employment. The education participation rate at May 2001 for people in this age group was higher for those in part-time study (6%) than for those in full-time study (2%).

TUESDAY, April 12, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Moderate aerobic exercise helps boost blood flow to the brain in older women, new research reveals.
The small study included 16 women aged 60 and older who walked briskly for 30 to 50 minutes three or four times a week for three months. By the end of that time, the amount of blood flow to the brain had increased by as much as 15 percent.
The researchers also found that the women's VO2 max -- the body's maximum capacity to transport and use oxygen during exercise -- increased about 13 percent, their blood pressure fell an average of 4 percent, and their heart rates decreased about 5 percent.
The findings offer insight into how vascular health affects brain health, lead researcher Rong Zhang, of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, explained in a news release from the American Physiological Society.
Zhang and the other researchers used Doppler ultrasonography to chart blood flow in the women's carotid arteries, which are located in the neck and supply the brain with crucial glucose and oxygen-rich blood. The blood also gets rid of brain metabolic wastes such as amyloid-beta protein (implicated in Alzheimer's disease) that have been released into the brain's blood vessels.
The study is scheduled for presentation this week at the Experimental Biology annual meeting, in Washington, D.C., as part of the scientific program of the American Physiological Society.
"There are many studies that suggest that exercise improves brain function in older adults, but we don't know exactly why the brain improves. Our study indicates it might be tied to an improvement in the supply of blood flow to the brain," Zhang said in the news release.
It's not known if increasing blood flow to the brain can help prevent Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia but "there is strong evidence to suggest that cardiovascular risk is tied to the risk for Alzheimer's disease," Zhang said.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the findings should be viewed as preliminary until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal.
