What, in your opinion, is one of the most popular topics on hub pages. On what topics, in your personal experience, do your hubs get the maximum amount of traffic?
What's the benefit to anyone who answers these questions, other than having the privilege of watching as their best topics get ripped off by the person asking?
Oh I didn't look at it that way. I guess I'm new at this and naive enough to think that when more people write about and explore similar topics... the overall pie, so to speak, only gets larger as more hubs can be linked together etc. But what do I know... My hub score isn't 99!
I believe that religion is huge in HUB pages. And Society is taking a high second.

Honda has racked up its best profits in its half-century history and earned a quality ranking that U.S. automakers can only wish for.
So why is the former president of Honda Motor Corp. calling the No. 2 Japanese automaker "inferior" and saying it's "headed downhill"?
Nobuhiko Kawamoto, Honda's president from 1990 to 1998, said he felt "a sense of crisis" for Honda because its growth has always been precarious as it tries to keep up with Toyota Motor Corp., Japan's top automaker. Kawamoto, who now acts as advisor and director at Honda, also is concerned about a reshuffling of the company's top management.
Honda, whose U.S. operations are based in Torrance, does have its problems.
Despite booming sales in the United States -- about 60% of the company's total -- Honda is losing ground at home in Japan, a notoriously finicky and brand-conscious market. And the tide is expected to turn soon in North America, where analysts say sales have been inflated by rebates and other discount campaigns.

These types of experiments happen often, and this is the 2nd one that Dove has sponsored. Here's the first beauty campaign by Dove. It aired about one year ago.
What are your thoughts? I'll come back and give more on what I think.
These types of experiments happen often, and this is the 2nd one that Dove has sponsored. Here's the first beauty campaign by Dove. It aired about one year ago.
What are your thoughts? I'll come back and give more on what I think.
Set to the beat of "Welcome To Miami" by Will Smith, this NC family created an epic Christmas card video. I loved it. Isn't this absolutely cute?!
I should be asleep right now since I have to be up in less than 6 hours, but I wanted to share this post before I decided to go to bed.
"I don't want to be your friend anymore."
Simple, right? Straight to the point. Clear and concise.
What if all friendships that were destined to fail ended as amicably and simply as that? I think there would be a lot less drama in the world. Today, I realized something important. Some would call it an epiphany. I think I just finally admitted something to myself. I've decided to stop lying to myself about something that has affected me more in the last few months than ever before.
Here goes nothing. I'm not good at having friends. There, I said it. Actually, I'm quite terrible at it. My entire life, I've depended on my siblings (who are awesome) to be my friends, not realizing that my relationships with people outside of my family are just as important.
I'm a graduate of college, I attended schools for about 16 years, and I can't really say I have many friends or even a core group of friends to show for it. I try not to think about it often, but being myself in my new apartment gives me plenty of time to let my million miles-per-minute-mind wander.
Who do I blame for my broken friendships? Who CAN I blame for them? I'm the only constant in them all.
I blame myself. My insecurity, my issues with self, my trust issues, and the overall lack of faith in people has affected me in ways I didn't notice until now.
Where do I go from here? Do I attempt to repair current relationships? Reopen old wounds a.k.a. friends that have never completely healed? Or do I continue on with life, armed with this new knowledge about myself and carrying what I know into future friendships and relationships?
I have no idea. Not one. What I do know is that there is a problem, rooted in me, and I need to fix it (or better yet, give it to God to handle).
My big brother tell me that I shouldn't be worried. His theory is that I've been focused on what I'm supposed/expected to do and what I need to do to be successful that I didn't bother making useless friends. [He would also disapprove of this blog post]
Here's what I think of that theory. My brother is trying to protect me from myself. He's trying to make me feel better about my utter lack of unrelated meaningful people. In order for me to fix myself, I must figure out the "whys" about who I've become. I don't blame my siblings, but being the youngest, I think I've subconsciously absorbed their experiences, thoughts, and beliefs as my own about life.
Who needs to actually experience teenage rebellion and feelings when you have lived them vicariously 3x over?
Where's the big tada? I've never confronted myself before now about my friendships statuses.
I'm not a kid anymore. Something told me it was time to ask myself a simple question.
Friends…how many of us have them?

Cooking, done well, can be an extremely rewarding activity. Learning to cook can be a breeze for anyone who gets quality advice and good information. There is lots of advice and information here in this article.
Meat should always be thinly sliced and cut on the bias if you are adding it to a stir-fry. This is not easy to do and could take some time. Remove the meat when it is firm (but not frozen) and slice at a 45 degree angle across the grain of the meat.
You should know a few things before you cook anything on a skewer. Metal skewers will work better if they are twisted or squared.
If you are making a meal for someone that you want to make a good impression on, be sure to make something you know how to make well. Refrain from enthusiastically whipping up a new dish or using untested ingredients. This can make cooking less of a chore.
Having sharp knives when you are cooking is very important. Dull knives are dangerous and difficult to use. It is more likely that you will cut yourself while trying to get a dull knife to cut something than when you use a well-sharpened knife.
Garlic's only disadvantage is that it transfers smell onto your hands. After you have finished doing your prep work with the garlic, run your hands along the stainless steel interior of your sink. You will clean your hands and stop smells from rubbing off on other foods.
Has it ever seemed like you were wasting food when you threw away fruits that were moldy? You may have wondered if it is okay to cut out the rotten part. It's not safe to try to save partially rotted fruit. Fruit with any mold on it must be discarded because it contains unhealthy organisms.
Use airtight containers to store baking mixes, sugar and flour. Storing food in containers that are impermeable to air helps the food last longer, and keeps insects out. You can get them at a number of places and are well worth the small amount of money.
This product is not just limited to being used on steaks. Sprinkle it on top of roasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a snack, or use the seasoning to top scrambled eggs. People will want you to tell them your secret ingredient.
Make big portions when preparing stock. If you cook a big pot of stock, you can freeze it for later. Good chicken stock that you make at home makes a great starter for soups, casseroles, stews and other dishes. Just cool your stock and freeze it in heavyweight Ziploc freezer bags.
Do you find it tough to know the right amount of grilling time for different cuts of meat? Using a meat thermometer can help ensure that your meat is cooked thoroughly. Another tip is to close the lid on your grill if the meat you're cooking is thicker than an inch and a half.
Lowering your oil amounts when cooking can help you have a healthier diet and lose weight. Adding unnecessary butter, oil and lard can increase your intake of fat. Instead, opt for nonstick cooking spray.
Chicken Broth
When you plan on using wooden skewers for cooking, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to cooking. This keeps them from burning up while the food is cooking on them. Use two parallel skewers instead of one skewer to avoid food falling off.
Cook your vegetables in chicken broth. Using chicken broth will prevent the vegetables from sticking in the pan as well as add some tasty flavor at the same time. Chicken broth is cheap, and can be bought anywhere.
Read nutrition labels when you buy foods. The reason you want to do this is because many supplies that pop up in a lot of recipes can have ingredients in them that are not good for your health. Avoid ingredients that have high sugar and sodium content, because they can cause health problems.
Keep in mind that tofu and beans are excellent sources of protein when you want to add more protein to your diet. Both can be purchased at just about any grocery store. Pan fried tofu, lightly sprinkled with your favorite seasonings, is a delicious substitute to meat. Boil kidney, navy or pinto beans with seasonings and you can enjoy a protein-rich side dish.
Make sure to measure the amount of cooking oil you use! You never want to pour oil straight from the bottle. Most oils are very high in fat, so when you measure them with care, you can keep the fat content lower. This is the best way to monitor how much oil you use.
Leaving the bone in a roast will help if you have a limited amount of time. It will cook faster because the bone will evenly distribute the heat inside your roaster. When your meat is done cooking, you can just cut around the bone and serve.
You can make your own dried tomatoes. You can do this by cutting ripe tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices, or by cutting Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise. Place cut side up on a clean cooling rack and salt lightly. Use a cookie sheet to hold the rack and set it in the oven at 190 degrees for at least 10 hours. Put the tomatoes in plastic bags, and store them in the freezer. Another option is to place the tomatoes in a jar and cover them with fresh herbs and olive oil. The jars can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
There's almost always leftovers after serving turkey. It is smarter to divide up the meat and seal it in airtight containers that you freeze. With enough leftover turkey, you can enjoy turkey sandwiches and salads for several weeks after the bird was cooked.
By staying organized while cooking you can avoid making mistakes, such as burning your food. When your cooking area is organized, you will be more productive and avoid errors. If you aren't organized, you will start to forget what you buy and that will make you spend too much money that could have been spent on something you would have eaten.
Cutting Board
Prior to cooking ground meat, blot it. Blotting removes excess moisture from your meats. Any moisture remaining will be released upon cooking. The extra moisture will sizzle away. Therefore, it's more likely that the meat will steam instead of sear like it should.
Many veggies and herbs leave strong scents and plant oils on your cutting board that are very difficult to remove completely. Put a waterproof mark on the end of the cutting board so you'll know which side to use.
You'll find that cooking a big, complicated meal is less stressful if you handle some of the preparation ahead of time. You can double-check the availability of everything required, get your ingredients together, chop herbs and vegetables, and measure out quantities in advance. The next day when you have to cook your meal, all you need to think about is assembling and cooking the dish.
Replace your spices twice a year. Quite often, spices pass their sell-by-date before you use them up, losing their flavor. If you buy a certain spice and you know that you are not going to use it all before it goes bad, give half to a friend or family member.
Don't completely drain the water after cooking pasta, save some to add to the pasta sauce. Save around 1/4 cup of water and put it aside. When you are ready to mix your sauce and pasta together, incorporate some of this water. Amalgamation will take place in your sauce when you add the pasta water. The starch will give it the "creaminess" you desire.
The best way to prepare fresh herbs, like parsley or dill, is to bunch them together and cut them up with scissors. This will keep the herbs drier and lighter than chopped with a knife.
Try to make sure you cook your cake to the proper temperature and do not over or under cook it. The times that they recommend for cake baking can be wrong due to several factors. A good way to judge whether a cake is finished is by sticking a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out with no batter on it, the cake has finished cooking. If the toothpick has batter on it when it is pulled out, the cake needs to stay in the oven for a few more minutes or so.
Prior to cooking ground meat, blot it. It is always advisable to blot away moisture from ground meat. Any moisture on the meat will be released as the meat cooks. This can change the way that your favorite steak cooks. This is undesirable, since the meat will technically steam, instead of searing.
Utilize other types of timers in separate sections of the house. That way you won't be able to go out of range and forget that you have something in the oven.
There are a couple of ways to heat up tortillas properly. One way is place the tortilla on a rack in a 350-degree preheated oven. Let it cook until the tortilla is at the level of crispiness you prefer. You can also use the top of your gas stove. Simply hold a tortilla on a grill directly above the gas flame. You will have a better tasting tortilla if you use these suggestions.
Use a cooling rack that is stackable. When baking a large batch of cookies or other baked goods, the cooling baked goods can take over your entire work area. Without the stacking cooling racks, you will not have enough room to work. Stacking in vertical layers opens up the space you need to work in.
It is important to cook your meat properly, so always have a meat thermometer on hand. There is a minimum internal temperature to which a meat needs to be cooked so that it is safe to eat. If the meat is not properly cooked, bacteria that exists on meat will not be eliminated, and you can get very sick as a result.
If you want to use the meats and vegetables in your refrigerator before a shopping day, try using it in fried rice. Cold rice that was prepared the day before works especially well, but if none is available, just prepare fresh rice with half the water you would normally use so that the final product is drier. You should use some oil to cook your vegetables and meats. Then, you can add some rice and seasoning, such as ginger, garlic, soy sauce and other delicious spices.
Fresh Herbs
The idea of cooking for a large gathering may leave you feeling stressed. Give yourself a head start by doing as much as possible beforehand. This way you won't be overwhelmed and flustered by all you have to do on the big day. Prepare your sauces and marinades and make sure you have all your ingredients.
Herbs and seasonings should be used when they are fresh whenever possible. Dried herbs can be used for recipes that are complex and filled with lots of flavors. Fresh herbs are still preferred, and they will provide a much better taste to your dish. To ensure you have fresh herbs for cooking, you should have an herb garden.
Use ketchup in batters for fried foods. Just dunk everything from vegetables to meat into the ketchup before dredging them in breadcrumbs. The ketchup adds a whole new dimension of flavor to fried foods.
Discover new ways to eat oysters. You can prepare oysters in other ways than just raw with some drizzled lemon juice. Try opening oysters while leaving them in the shell, and then placing those oysters in a broiler pan with some cream. use pepper and cheese to sprinkle some flavor across the mixture, then let it continue to broil until it begins to bubble. You can also saute them. Coat oysters with some seasoned flour and saute in warm butter for a couple of minutes, until they are golden. Consider baking oysters while they are still in their shells. You want to put them into a casserole dish with a little butter and breadcrumbs on top of each oyster, and put it in a 425 degree oven for about 5 minutes. Once the oysters' juices and the butter are bubbling, remove them from the oven and serve them piping hot over a toasted baguette.
Preparing dark greens can be painstaking, but they provide a great source of nutrients for your body. Removing the stems can be difficult and tiresome. Try this tip, fold up the leaf lengthwise and then pull out the stem. An alternative course of action is to utilize a knife in cutting the stem from the folded leaf. Once the leaf is unfolded, a perfect de-stemmed leave remains.
There is more to cooking than just laying out the food on your table. It can be a fun and tasty skill to have. Sometimes your cooking might not be up to par and you will flop, but by using the advice from this article, your flops will occur less often. By following this advice, you will find success in the kitchen.
Eating fish that was freshly caught is a great way to combine a hobby with a free meal. Catching a fish, preparing it, and cooking it immediately is not just an exercise in self-reliance; it is also a delicious meal that can't be beat for freshness.

SUITCASE SCALES Before you head off with your suitcase full to the brim check your baggage allowence most airline allow 20kg on a long haul flight which seems like a lot but it is very easy to go over this limit a handy way to keep check is too get a suit case scales you can usually get these in heatons or boots.
SUNCREAM its pretty much a no brainier but I also would always dab about 20c piece amount of suncream on my scalp after I come out of the shower in the morning my scalp always seem to burn on holiday and this really use to help prevent that.
LEAVE IN CONDITIONER something I always do too is after my shower in the morning and after I put the suncream on my scalp I spray in a leave in conditioner and style my hair usually in braids because I love to swim I feel like it helps to stop my hair from drying out .
WATER You need to stay hydrated especially out in the sun you do not want to become dehydrated it will cause headaches etc and as water has so many benefits for your skin its essential.
ZIP LOCK BAGS even if you decide to put your toiletries in your checked suitcase I would still always put the products in a zip lock bag at least that way if they leak the only leak into the bag
SELLOTAPE Most people I know have had there clothes ruin do to suncream/ shower gels or shampoo spill all over there clothes so I always make sure to place my shower gels or shampoo etc into a zip lock bag and before that I sellotape the lids down for extra protection.
DRY SHAMPOO Theses are such a great thing to have on a sun holiday I use it if I get a really bad sun burn the last thing you need when your sun burnt is water pelting down on it!
NATURAL YOGURT I know this might sound odd and I don't go over with a pot in my suitcase however it is perfect if you blister last year when I was in Florida it was so hot around 50 degrees every day and no matter how much suncream I used id burn and my shoulder blistered lucky enough someone in our hotel told me the best thing for that is natural yogurt and wow did it they were completely gone in two days!
AFTER SUN we all know there is nothing nicer after a day tanning our self at the beach than to cool our skin down so what I always do is put my aftersun in the fridge so that its extra cool on my skin.
CLIPS AND HAIR TIES The heat your hair will have to put up with on hoilday is a killer so why not instead of putting your hair through more damage with straighteners and curlers why not braid your hair for a fun summer look which will transform to beautiful natural wavy hair for a night time look

The archetypal template for our spiritual practice is Avalokitesvara or Kuan Yin, who embodies enlightened activity within the world while rooted in depth understanding of emptiness. Another way of understanding emptiness is the intimacy of all things. Kuan Shr Yin means the 'One Who Contemplates the Sounds of the World at Ease' Kuan Yin is beyond form and yet works through form. At Dharmagiri we engage practices which evoke the essence of Kuan Yin, which is the merging of depth wisdom as articulated in the Heart Sutra, with depth compassion as articulated in the Great Compassion Mantra. This is done through various meditation practices as well as through recitation of mantra and Sutra texts.
Besides individual meditation practice, an important dimension of retreats at Dharmagiri is the cultivation of community. It is our practice to observe sensitivity, authenticity and respect towards each other, to share the undertaking of daily chores and to have the support of each other's well-being as our primary focus. To this end, relationship challenges are understood as opportunity for the deepening of both wisdom and compassion within the individual as well as within the group. During longer retreats, we hold a weekly sharing circle to give the chance of each person to reflect on their practice in an atmosphere of safety and mutual respect.

WIDE i Communication Ltd Q&A
What makes a great website?
First impressions count... and the reality is the first contact you are likely to have with a new prospect is when they visit your web site.
So how do you deliver great digital experiences in today's mobile-first, multi-touchpoint, omnichannel world?
A website should comply with the latest W3C standards to ensure that it is cross-browser compatible and will function across all devices. As the use of mobile devices continues to increase, it is essential that a website will work properly on desktop, tablet and smart phones. Easy and intuitive navigation is essential as well as fast download times. Google will penalise a website that is not mobile friendly or has slow loading pages. Increasingly a CMS or Content Management System is an essential component of a web design. This allows the website owner to make changes or add new content easily without the services of the developer.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
A detailed company profile. How did the business start, how old is it and where is it located? What are your primary objectives for the website? What is your target market? What can you tell me about your competitors? Why do you wish to have a new website? How will this help your business? Does your company already have a website? Are you on social media? List 3 websites in your industry that you like. List 3 websites belonging to your competitors. If you have branding what colours, fonts and styles do you use? Do you have a logo? What is your main product or service? Describe how it works. Is the content ready for the site? Do you have a site structure planned? What absolutely must be on the homepage? What website feature do you want to have? Do you plan to sell online? Will you require a blog? Do you wish to integrate social media? What are the keywords for the search engines? What is your deadline for project completion?
What do you love most about your job?
I have always enjoyed computer technology and the rapidly evolving landscape of the Internet which has changed our lives so much in recent years. Leveraging this technology to improve efficiency and make life easier is still a great joy. I derive a great deal of satisfaction from applying the skills acquired over the years to a challenging project to create a solution that works perfectly for everybody concerned.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The printing industry I worked in until 2000 was shrinking as emerging technology and the Internet began to replace traditional printed materials. My interest in IT began with my first PC back in the 90's and I had experience writing software applications for the print industry. It was a logical move to set-up an Internet business in 2000 to merge my IT skills with the growing use of the Internet.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have over 17 years experience running search engine marketing campaigns and designing and building a range of IT solutions for public and private sector companies across many industries as well as smaller businesses venturing online for the first time. I have also delivered SEO workshops for Business Link and continue to provide consultation to global brands on their SEO strategy. My background in IT , printing and management together with my personal reputation are your guarantee of a reliable, robust solution which will meet your needs now and in the future.

Paquito Cordero, Puertorrican TV Pioneer, 1932-2009
We have been informed of death of another of our pioneers of the golden age of Puertorrican TV.
Francisco Cordero Baez, also known as Paquito Cordero, a tv comedian turned successful producer died today in San Juan, he was 73.
Cordero was born to Don Paco and Doña Berta Cordero in Santurce, Puerto Rico). Cordero attended Santurce Central High School upon finishing his primary and secondary education. He was a member of his high school's drama club and participated in its plays, where he discovered the art of comedy. Cordero was geatly influenced by his aunt on his father's side, Mapy Cortés. Mapy Cortés had moved to Mexico from Puerto Rico, where she became an actress. There she met and married Mexican actor, "Fernando Cortés". After Cordero graduated from high school, he enrolled and attended the University of Puerto Rico and married his childhood sweetheart, a hairdresser whom everyone knew as "Cuqui". With Cuqui he had three children, two girls and one boy.
Cordero auditioned for a role in a comedy skit which was transmitted through Radio El Mundo and was subsequently hired. He did this in his spare time. His aunt Mapy and her husband Fernando returned to the island and presented an idea for a comedy show to Mr. Angel Ramos, owner of El Mundo Enterprises. On March 28, 1954, Puerto Rico received its first television transmission from Angel Ramos' WKAQ-TV Telemundo Channel 2. Among the first comedy shows to go on the air was "Mapy Y Papi" with Mapy and Fernando Cortés, María Judith Franco and Paquito Cordero.
In order for Paquito to get "into" character, he had to smear black makeup on his face and hands. During this period in his life, he fell in love with one of the show's dancers, a young girl by the name of Nora. He soon divorced his first wife and asked Nora to marry him. She accepted and together they had a son, Santiago. Paquito and Nora remained happily married.
In the 1960s, Cordero formed his own production company which he named Paquito Cordero Productions, Inc. His younger sister, Bertita, became his assistant and eventually his younger brother, Jorge, would also join the company as a future co-producer. On January 11, 1965, Telemundo transmitted the first program produced by Paquito called "El Show de las 12" (The 12 O'Clock Show). The first show included appearances by El Gran Combo, Tito Lara, Los Hispanos, and Olga y Tony. It also included a section within the show, dedicated to the teenage crowd, called "Canta la Juventud" (Youth Sings). Among those taking part in this section were Alfred D. Herger and Puerto Rican teen idols Lucecita Benítez and Chucho Avellanet. "El Show de Las 12" was presented by Miguel Ángel Álvarez and Eddie Miró was the scriptwriter. The show was a success and was watched by over 80% of the population, becoming one of Puerto Rico's most beloved programs for over 40 years.
Cordero also produced the following shows which were popular in Puerto Rico:
"El Show de las 12" with "Los Alegres Tres", Silvia, Chapuseaux y Damiron with Clarissa, Militza and Mary Stull.
"El Show Sultana", with "Los Hispanos", and Tito Lara
"2 a Go Go", with "Julio Angel" & "Tammy"
"Walter, las Estrellas Y Usted" (Walter, the Stars and You), with Walter Mercado
"Mi Hippie Me Encanta" (I love my hippie) with Luis Antonio Rivera: Yoyo Boing, Rosita Velazquez, Johanna Ferrán and Myrna de Casenave
"En Broma y en Serio" (Joking and Seriously), with Lou Briel, and Dagmar
"Su Estrella Favorita" (Your Favorite Star)
"El Show de Chucho", (Chucho's Show), with Chucho Avellanet"
"En Casa de Juanma y Wiwi", (In Juanma & Wiwis' Home), with Awilda Carbia, and Juan Manuel Lebron
"Estudio Alegre & Musicomedia", (Cheerful Studio & Musicomedy), with Otilio Warrington, Awilda Carbia, and Juan Manuel Lebron
"La Gente Joven de Menudo/Menudomania"
"Los Kakucómicos", with Adalberto Rodriguez, Machuchal, and Shorty Castro, among many others
"La Pensión de Doña Tere", (Lady Tere's Guesthouse), with Norma Candal, and
"Noche de Gala", (Gala Night Ball), with Eddie Miró, and in different periods of time co-hosted by, Marisol Malaret, Deborah Carthy-Deu, "Marilyn Pupo" and "Gilda Haddock".
On April 14, 1983, Telemundo was sold to John Blair and Co. and finally, in 2004 became part of the NBC Universal network. This led to many changes and one of the changes was the substitution of locally produced programs with programs produced in other countries such as Mexico.
On May 6, 2004, television producers Paquito Cordero and Tommy Muñiz received a special recognition on behalf of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico as part of the celebration of the 50 years of uninterrupted transmisión on the Telemundo and Televicentro channels.
On February 25, 2005, Telemundo canceled Paquito Cordero's "El Show de las 12", the longest running television show in Puerto Rico. Telemundo no longer transmits locally produced television programs and thus, is no longer a source of income to the local artistic class.
On the last airing of the show, Eddie Miró took the microphone and said these words:
"Señoras y Señores..., "El Show de las 12" ha muerto"
("Ladies and Gentlemen..., "The 12 O'Clock Show" has died.")
"Señoras y Señores..., reflexionemos ante su deceso"
("Ladies and Gentlemen..., a moment of silence for the deceased")
In 2007, Paquito Cordero, began producing a remake of "Noche de Gala", (Gala Night Ball), broadcasted by WIPR-TV, Tu Universo Television, channel 6, with Deborah Carthy-Deu, as the host.
And so this bitter-sweet chapter in Puertorrican TV is closed forever.
Rest in Peace, Paquito.
Say hello to Vigoreaux, Tommy Muñiz and Don Cholito while you're at it!

Over the summer, many schools have taken forward steps with their educational technology by upgrading to Windows 10. While for many IT administrators and network managers the benefits arising from moving to Windows 10 will have been instantly recognisable, some of the positive learning impacts manifesting themselves in the classroom and in the quality of learning will naturally only become evident over time.
But we're now four months down the line from the official launch of Windows 10, and nearing the end of the Christmas Term (gulp!), so we caught up with Microsoft Global Showcase School Simon de Senlis Primary, to see how the teachers and students there have been improving the learning that happens, both inside and outside the classroom:
As head teacher Tom Rees explains, the broader task of preparing students for the world of eventual employment requires the development of a number of skills and disciplines - using technology to collaborate, communicate and create - that sit outside of the normal curriculum that schools are required to teach. By basing the learning in a Windows 10 environment, the students and teachers at Simon de Senlis Primary are exposed to a way of working that is synonymous with that of the 21st century world of employment, and gradually build the required skills into their natural way of problem solving, creating, and working together.
For MIEExpert Tomos Prosser, the ability to switch between multiple desktops is proving to be most helpful for him when teaching different classes throughout the day, while Charlotte Coade - also part of the MIEExpert community - speaks of the speed with which it allows her students to work, and familiarity the start menu provides.
From a technical usage and security standpoint, Paul Dredge from EasiPC who oversaw the deployment of Windows 10 at Simon de Senlis, is particularly impressed with the built-in malware defence systems, describing it as "the most secure operating system yet".
Are you yet to move to Windows 10? Want to know more about what's involved in deployment?
Paul Dredge recently penned a guest post for us in which he went into some detail about his work over the summer in upgrading Simon de Senlis to Windows 10, which you can read here:

August, 1, 2017
Lord Justice Jackson has unveiled his much anticipated review of civil litigation costs.
It was suspected that the proposals would seek to introduce fixed costs in most, if not all, forms of civil litigation for claims valued at up to £250,000 but as we expected he has held back from doing so – at least for the time being.
The proposals are limited to the extension of fixed recoverable costs (FRC) for all fast track cases and the introduction of a new 'intermediate' track for certain claims with a value of up to £100,000.
Whilst there is also a proposed pilot of capped recoverable costs, in conjunction with streamlined procedures, for business and property cases with a value up to £250,000, in this bulletin we consider the potential impact the proposals may have on those handling insurance claims, rather than business claims, libel, intellectual property, etc.
The Proposals
The complexity of clinical negligence claims is such that they are usually unsuited to either the fast track or the proposed intermediate track and so it is recommended that the Department of Health and the Civil Justice Council should set up a working party with both claimant and defendant representatives to develop a bespoke process for handling clinical negligence claims up to £25,000.
The report sets out a grid for the FRC in non-personal injury fast track cases, depending on complexity and the stage at which the claim is resolved. Band 1 will cover the least complex cases and Band 4 the most complex.
The issues with the existing FRC regime were highlighted to Jackson during his review but he does not consider it appropriate to "start 'tinkering' with the existing fast track FRC regime, which overall works well". In particular, reversal of the decision in Bird v Acorn (2016) has been left as a point for the Rule Committee to consider but he has recommended replacing the award of indemnity costs where a claimant succeeds under Part 36 with a percentage uplift of 30% or perhaps 40%.
This would modify the decision in Broadhurst v Tan (2016) which Jackson recognised will impact upon fixed costs generally. A policy decision is required on this issue which will need to be addressed in any consultation exercise following his report.
The decision not to extend FRC to claims valued at up to £250,000 comes from the perception that costs management 'is now working distinctly better than it was two years ago, although there is still room for improvement'.
However, when the reforms recommended elsewhere in the report have been implemented and have bedded in, consideration will almost certainly be given to developing (a) a grid of FRC for incurred costs in different categories of case and (b) a pre-action procedure for seeking leave to exceed the FRC in that grid.
Nevertheless, Jackson does see scope for fixing the recoverable costs in some categories of cases above the fast track. He proposes that there should be an upper limit of £100,000 and that only cases of modest complexity should fall within the new FRC regime. Those will be claims which are principally for monetary relief, such as damages or debt. The criteria for allocating a case to the new intermediate track include:
The report accepts that more complex personal injury cases, including clinical negligence cases, would be excluded from this track. Part 8 claims will also be excluded for the time being, save for applications to approve settlements for children and protected parties and costs only proceedings, in respect of intermediate track cases.
These are only recommendations and it is not a consultation document. Jackson expressly leaves it to others to take matters forward.
We welcome the proposal to introduce a system of FRC across pretty well the whole spectrum of insurance related claims.
However, we have always had concerns that it does not suit all cases and if the rules are not robust enough can be open to abuse. In the low value fixed costs cases we have handled we have made savings for our clients in excess of £12m so the savings will be even more significant on the higher value claims.
One area that concerns us is if the intermediate track is introduced a new battle ground will be created, with parties arguing about the true level of complexity. This exercise will not take place until allocation. Which band a case is assigned to will in many cases make a huge difference to costs.
Claimants may be encouraged, as in the past, to 'build' a claim, so as to create an impression that it should proceed on the multi-track. For example a case could potentially fall off the intermediate track simply because statements of case or witness statements exceed the total number of pages likely to be prescribed. It will take stringent case management by the judges to prevent abuse.
This will result in arguments about costs at the conclusion of the case as to whether or not the claimant was justified in avoiding the FRC regime. It could also mean that cost budgeting hearings will need to focus not only on costs' budgets but also whether the claimant's budget, once approved, is in fact indicative of a case that should proceed on the intermediate track and be subject to the FRC regime.
Another problem area arises because Jackson has not addressed the thorny issue of incurred costs. He has again deferred tackling that issue until the reforms have bedded in.
At this stage we do not know the extent to which the government will consult upon or fully adopt Jackson's proposals but significant change to the existing regime is inevitable. We will be providing further strategic advice as the new regime takes shape.

My home has the brown shingle roof. The neighbor's garage has tile roof. His property faces clay pit road which is the address the news reporters are using for the sinkhole. They are also incorrectly reporting who is the owner, etc. works for me. I don't want to be in the news. This has been an interesting, stressful, and shocking experience. I'm still in shock. I am amazed at how quickly they got started but the county was pushing because this is a public hazard. My house has no structural damage at this point. They will monitor it as well. They say it will be the safest house around!

The Return of 0% Financing
Auto Makers Pile On Deals To Clear Swollen Inventories; Some Hot Models Excluded
Eager to lure buyers into showrooms this fall, car makers are laying on a host of deal sweeteners on top of 0% financing.
Many of the incentives from auto makers including DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group, Volkswagen AG and Toyota Motor Corp. involve better financing deals to offset higher interest rates. Along with 0% financing offers, other new perks include: low rates for up to six years, additional cash bonuses on top of low rates and extending the deals to people with subpar credit....

Episode 104 - The Ritual/Victor Crowley
It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights. It's time to meet the Muppets on The Grave Plot Podcast tonight.
We kick things off with a Real World Horror story about a woman in Oregon who found herself looking like the poster child for The Strain. We also have not one, but two stories about teddy bears causing havoc and horror with updates on the Five Nights at Freddy's movie as well as a new Joe Dante-produced film Teddy Bears are for Lovers. We also talk about a new book presented by R.L. Stine, yet another Sharknado, and - believe it or not - a new Stephen King adaptation.
Originally we intended to have two Kane Hodder films for our reviews, but due to the delay in Death House's release, we only have one. We talk about Adam Green's latest film in the Hatchet franchise, titled Victor Crowley. We also discuss the latest from Netflix and director David Bruckner, The Ritual.

Boy, we've certainly had some interesting weather lately. I'm really intrigued by all the different cloud patterns. Spent a lot of time on the road today...we kept driving into rain, then 5 minutes later we'd drive into the sunshine...then shortly it was back into the rain again. At a higher altitude, we were able to see different rain spots in the distance and all around us. So, with this I give you the tornado....and one REALLY crazy weather guy!

About me:
Hello everyone! I am a 34-year-old English language teacher from Kiev, Ukraine, having recently obtained qualification in teaching English to adults from the CELTA course run by Cambridge University. Besides, I've had a month's practice at Academia Solidaria in Valencia, Spain, where I was teaching to 4 different levels, from Beginners to Intermediates. English has been my passion since I remember myself, so now I feel like sharing my skills and expertise with other people by teaching online via Skype. If you are interested, we can either follow a more traditional way of learning - to develop 4 essential skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) as well as build your vocabulary and practice grammar - or work on specific issues based on your needs and available time. Either way, our lessons won't be academically boring as I love games and different fun activities for my students to feel enthusiastic and engaged.

Purpose It is the policy of the State of South Carolina is to be prepared for any emergency or disaster. South Carolina State Regulations 58-1 and 58- 101 require contingency plans and implementing procedures. Persons with special needs or functional needs need to take extra care in preparing for an emergency. From making sure you have adequate medication, medical supplies and equipment to knowing what special resources you may require to make it safely through a disaster. This guide was developed to help clients and staff alike prepare for natural disasters and unexpected emergencies.
How Would You Define a Disaster?
Disasters are… Events that causes great harm or damage or an incident that causes widespread destruction and distress. They can strike quickly and without warning and can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home.
Categories of Disasters Disasters can be categorized into three groups: 1. Natural 2. Accidental 3. Intentional
Hurricanes Tornadoes Floods Droughts Extreme Heat Fires Blizzards Disasters Can Be Natural, Examples Include: Earthquakes Volcanoes Tsunamis Ice Storms Disease Epidemics
Hurricane Hugo Hugo crossed into South Carolina coast near the Isle of Palms in September of 1989. The surface winds were recorded at 138 miles per hour and gusts of more than 160 miles per hour. The damage to coastal and inland properties, utilities, agriculture, timber and commerce exceeded $6 billion. 50-70,000 people were left homeless and 26 people were killed (SCDNR).

Intentional Disasters include: Hijackings Riots Demonstrations Stampedes Bombings Shootings Kidnappings Assassinations Bombings Cyber Attacks Threats of Terrorism Wars
Getting Ready Planning & Preparation
Plan All too often in emergency situations the needs of people with disabilities are overlooked or swept aside. People with functional needs need to take extra care in preparing for an emergency. The services you rely on daily may not be available in the event of an emergency.
14 Plan Disaster and emergencies often disrupt routines. They can change when and where you eat, sleep, play, work, study, go to school, how you get around, when you see your family and friends.
Plan The stress caused by having to think about what you might do in an emergency much less actually having to cope with a disaster is a common experience. Disaster planning can be overwhelming for anyone but it doesnt have to be.
Prepare 1. Know the hazards and emergencies that may affect you and your family. 2. Develop an emergency plan. 3. Collect and assemble disaster supplies kit. 4. Learn where to seek shelter from all types of hazards.
Prepare 5. Identify the community warning systems and evacuation routes. 6. Include in your plan required information from community and school plans. 7. Learn what to do for specific hazards. 8. Practice and maintain your plan.
Prepare Know the difference between Watches and Warnings: In a Watch conditions are right for something to happen. For example, during thunderstorms tornados may form, streams and rivers may flood. In a Warning the event has happened. The tornado has been sighted or the streams and rivers are flooding.
You can cope more successfully with an emergency or a disaster by preparing in advance. You are in the best position to plan for your own safety. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility. Are You Ready?
Common & Not So Common SC Weather Events: What You Should Do…
Thunderstorms Thunderstorms are very common, especially during the summer. Severe storms usually have heavy rain, strong winds and, lightning. Some storms produce hail and create conditions that can cause tornadoes to form.
In Thunderstorms, you should... Get out of the water if you are swimming or boating. Hurry to a low open place, and crouch down so your body is like a little ball if you cant find shelter, or your hair feels like it is standing on end. Stay way from downed high voltage lines down and call the utility company. Always seek shelter during severe weather!
Tornadoes Tornados are among natures most dangerous storms. They can strike with little warning & cause serious destruction in seconds. The average number of tornadoes per year in SC is 28 ( SC DNR).
In Tornadoes, you should… Take shelter immediately if you see or hear a tornado. If You Are Outside… Lie flat on the ground in a low area covering your head with your arms and hands if you are outside, in a car, or in a mobile home with no shelter nearby. If You Are Inside… Go to the basement or storm cellar if you have one. If you dont, then move to the center of the lowest floor.. Get under a sturdy piece of furniture.
Hurricanes and Tropical Storms Hurricanes are giant, spiraling tropical storms and the most destructive natural weather occurrences on earth. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars.
In Hurricanes & Tropical Storms, you should… The hurricane season runs from June to November, peaking mid-August to late October. Tune in the radio or television for weather updates. Follow the instructions given on: Personal Safety & Evacuation Securing your home & car Safeguarding pets & livestock Stocking emergency supplies
Floods Any source of water, river, lake, pond or stream has the potential to overflow, and flood the surrounding area. All areas of the South Carolina are prone to flooding.
In A Flood, you should… Never travel in flooded areas. Never swim in or let children play in standing flood water. Watch out for snakes, and other hazards that have moved to higher ground.
Winter Storms In SC snow is rare and it can be great fun but winter storms can cause severe problems. They often have strong winds, sleet, freezing rain, heavy snowfall and bitter cold as components.
In a Winter Storm, you should… Stay inside if possible. If you go outside dress in several layers of warm clothing. If you start to get too cold, or your nose, hands, feet or ears start to feel numb, go inside and warm up for a few minutes. Stay away from frozen ponds – the ice usually wont hold. Stay from any high voltage lines that may have fallen during the storm.
Earthquakes On August 31, 1886, the Great Charleston Earthquake struck in Summerville and Charleston. It was the largest, most destructive, and most lethal earthquake ever to strike east of the Mississippi. Over one hundred twenty- four people were killed and hundreds more severely injured. To this day, it dominates the seismic history of the entire East Coast. This earthquake struck without warning and caused far more deaths, injuries, and property damage than Hurricane Hugo, a Category IV hurricane (1989). SC is home to one of the most active earthquake-producing regions in North America, a twenty-five by fifteen-mile oval known as the Middleton Place- Summerville Seismic Zone, whose center lies about twenty-two miles northwest of Charleston.

Earthquakes On January 1, 1913, an earthquake registering 5.5 on the Richter Scale in occurred in Union SC. The earthquake affected an area of 43,000 square miles. Although no deaths were reported, it caused chimneys to fall, machinery to move, windows to break and goods to fall from shelves. Pickens County was the apparent center of an October 20, 1924, earthquake which shook most of South Carolina and western North Carolina, northeastern Georgia, and eastern Tennessee. The area affected was approximately 90 miles. Moderately strong shocks occurred near Charleston on November 19, 1952, August 3, 1959, March 12, 1960, July 23, 1960, and October 23, 1967.
Earthquakes An earthquake is the shockwave that occurs when plates beneath the Earths crust shift. This movement causes the ground to become unstable and shake. South Carolina is on a earthquake fault line and we have several quakes each year. They are usually small ranging from 1.0 to 3.0 in magnitude. Since 2006, SC has more than 35 measurable earthquakes.
In an Earthquake, you should… Identify danger areas and stay away from things that break or fall on you like glass or heavy furniture. Move to a safe place where you can get under a table, desk, or against an interior wall.
Evacuation, Emergency Supplies & Shelters
When Should You Evacuate? 1. If a mandatory evacuation order has been issued for your area then you should leave. 2. If you live in a mobile home you should always evacuate if the emergency is weather related. Hurricanes are not the only reason we evacuate. Evacuation orders were issued for the train derailment in Graniteville, fires in Myrtle Beach, toxic spills flood warnings, and factory fires among others.
Evacuation Kits 1. What items do you want in your evacuation kit? 2. Are they the same as the items you think you need to pack? 3. How long should you plan for?
Evacuation Kits It is a good idea to have a go bag. That is a bag that ready to grab if you have to go to a shelter. You can use a backpack, duffle bag or laundry bag. Your name should be clearly written on it. Your supplies should last for a minimum of three days. You shouldnt over pack your kit – take only what you need and what you carry easily. Remember, there isnt a lot or room or privacy in shelters.
What to Pack? The Red Cross recommends that for each person you pack: 2 blankets and a pillow a, lawn chairs or cot 2 blankets and a pillow a, lawn chairs or cot Prescription medication and necessary over-the-counter medications(s) Prescription medication and necessary over-the-counter medications(s) 3 Gallons of water 3 Gallons of water Special dietary needs, favorite non-perishable snacks Special dietary needs, favorite non-perishable snacks Flashlights & batteries Flashlights & batteries Important papers - home owners insurance, medical information etc. Important papers - home owners insurance, medical information etc.

Books, small toys & games - try for quiet things! Baby Supplies - diapers, bottles, formula, etc. Baby Supplies - diapers, bottles, formula, etc. A Patient & Cooperative Attitude!! A Patient & Cooperative Attitude!!
Sheltering You dont always have to go to a shelter. If you can, stay with friends or relatives or have them stay with you whichever is the safest location. Go to a hotel/motel. You should always have more than one option, more than one plan. Needs during disaster differ, choose the best plan for that situation. Staying in a shelter should be your last choice.
Sheltering in Place - Supplies Because not everyone has to, can, or will evacuate in the event of an emergency. If you stay home here are the basics you should consider stocking: Food & Water First Aid & Special Items for Medical Conditions Clothing & Bedding Tools & Emergency Supplies
Shelters If the safest place to stay is a shelter then go. It will help if you are prepared – most shelters are runs by the Red Cross. They do not allow you to bring in weapons, drugs, alcohol, pets or smoking inside the building. Shelters are not spacious, private, or quite, and there isnt always electricity and a bed for everyone. Dont expect hot showers or meals, they are not always available. There will be lines to use the bathroom and other stressful situations In general medical services are not available and it will be up to you to keep you and yours safe.
Shelter Realities Luxuries dont exist during an emergency.
Expect Shelter Rules In most shelters you will be expected to: 1.Register when you arrive and sign in and out when entering or leaving. 2.Keep your area clean and help keep the shelter clean. 3.Keep food and beverages in designated areas. 4.Respect quiet hours, watch your children. 5.Be careful with your valuables as they are your responsibility. 6.Smoke in designated areas only.

Staying Well During an Emergency
Shelters & Mental Illnesses Emergency shelters are set up to provide a secure environment for a lot of people for a short period of time, typically 3 to 7 days. In order to reduce the risk of relapse and/or lessen symptom development it is a good idea to do a self assessment to prepare in case you need to evacuate to emergency shelter. Its a good idea to develop a plan for how you will manage if a disaster disrupts your routine.
How Well Do You Manage When You Experience: Loud noises Crowded rooms Lights on all the time Storms Being away from your own bed Children and strangers Not being able to smoke when you want Not being able to go to bed when you want Having your daily routine interrupted or altered
Do You…? Have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Does the chaos that accompanies emergencies increase flashbacks or your depression? Hear voices? What makes it worse? Are those things likely to happen in a shelter? Have symptoms of depression, mania or anxiety when your daily routine changes?
Staying Well During a Disaster Are you able to identify the things that trigger your symptoms? Do you know what your early warning signs are Can you work on a plan to help you manage? Try practicing what you would say to someone if you need help: For example, you may want to tell a friend or someone at the shelter I have anxiety or panic disorder. If I panic and need assistance, I have emergency medicine in my evacuation kit. Its called __________________.
Staying Well During a Disaster For your meds you should – know what your medications are and if you go to a shelter take them with you in the original bottles. – Keep a separate list of medication names and doses in case you lose or run out of medicine. Develop a support system of friends who can help you and whom you can help. Keep important papers and information with you. – Your Medicaid or Medicare card – Your Doctors names and contact information
Staying Well During a Disaster Create a Comfort Box or Bag Try placing items that are familiar and bring you comfort in a box to take with you to a shelter. The box should contain items that are easy for you to transport and keep up with when in an evacuation shelter. For example, if people, strangers, and/or having to talk to others bothers you, it maybe a good idea to take a portable music player and headphones or ear plugs to block out noise.
Staying Well During a Disaster Remember people with special needs need to take extra care in preparing for an emergency. Make sure you have enough medication, medical supplies and equipment and know what special resources may be required for you and your family to make it safely through a emergency.

Discussion in 'Windows 7' started by Fusion, Jun 13, 2010.
You need to login to view this posts content.
Could be something with your videocard, I'd try to connect another screen to your laptop and put your desktop on that one. If it is still there then it's your videocard, otherwise it's your screen.
that looks like something is wrong with windows system files try running sfc/ scannow
and see if it fisxes it
then try downloading an updated driver for windows 7
Pff I've connected the laptop to my TV and it works fine (I duplicate the work on the laptop's screen and the TV's and on the laptop's screen the problem exists but on the TV it has disappeared...) So it's hardware problem, what can I do now?
Still under warranty?
Its either screen, GPU, or the connection from the screen to the mobo. Possibly overheating hmm
Does it do it randomly or right now is it still doing it?
its obvisouly the screen becaue his grapics card works for external buy a replacement
how long havve u had it???
You need to login to view this posts content.
The laptop is still under warranty and I have it for 1 year. Recently I've cleaned the fan so it can't be overheating, I guess. What else can it be? Anyway I am going to take to a technical service tomorrow.
WTF?! My laptop fixed itself somehow?! I just closed the lid then opened it up and the problem disappeared?!?!!?!? Lol i've restarted the laptop several times and it haven't worked.... LOL I can't believe it
Most probably it's a loose flat ribbon cable that connects to the LCD. Opening and closing the lid causes some movement or a slight tug which may have affected the connection.
Probably something wih the monitor cable then. So beware of the fact that if the cable broke inside it will only get worse after a time.
Definitely worn ribbon cable or its connection to the mobo or screen
So from now on I'll be more careful with the lid
You said it was still under warranty man, id get it repaired now that you can free of charge.
there must be some connectivity issue between your mother board and screen. Its good that it is fixed now.. LOL
Dude thats not good that it fixed itself because that means that even with the slightest jiggle the ribbon cable could come loose in which case you won't get any display at with maybe the message that nothing is connected....
Take that laptop to technical support cause it will probably have problems in the future either way....
It is your screen or the connection for your screen to your laptop. If your video card was bad then it would also be bad when you plug it into an external LCD or TV. If you open your screen or have opened and cleaned your laptop, then you most likely pulled the connector for your screen out of your motherboard. It works because it is not completely pulled out.
Did this start after you cleaned you laptop? If so then pull your keyboard out and check the LCD connector to your motherboard or Video card. Make sure you know how to work the connectors so you do not break them.
smorgan is right and others. The problem will be intermittent and it is best to take advantage of the manufacturer's warranty service. The flat ribbon cable is situated both beneath the keyboard and behind the LCD screen which is quite a task to dismantle if you are not familiar with the procedure. The connector and the ribbon contacts are impossibly thin and can easily be damaged if you attempt to clean the contacts yourself. Most of the oem brands, like dell, hp, acer, etc have very fragile lcd panel frames and hidden screws and retention clips that are made of plastic... prying it open without the proper tools will cause scratches and nicks that will ruin the aesthetics of your laptop. Please consider sending it to the manufacturer while it is still under warranty.
I had a similar problem and had to use the Toshiba XP driver for my video card.
Most likely the cable or connector.
I had a friend that had similar display problems on their laptop. In a fit of rage they grabbed the screen and shook it. Which actually made it (temporarily) go away, as it was a loose connection.
nVidia also sold millions of s**tty GPUs (and motherboard chipsets) with a defective piece of f**king s**t packaging job which could show similar effects if it was imminently about to fail like all the other ones nVidia claims aren't failing. Instead they are content to let end users sit there with unusable, worthless laptops while OEMs release BIOS updates that cause the fan to run at full bore in attempt to decrease failure rates.

Ethiopia police: 30 armed people killed as they tried to illegally enter country from Eritrea
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – An Ethiopian police official says police killed 30 armed people who tried to illegally enter the country's territory from Eritrea.
Assefa Abiyu of the Ethiopian Federal Police Commission told the state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporation that Ethiopian forces have taken measures against fighters believed to be trained and supported by Eritrea. He added that a number of them have been arrested and said the nationalities of the victims is unclear.
The killings follow warnings this week by Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, who told lawmakers that Ethiopia will take measures to punish the Eritrean government if it feels provoked.
Ethiopia has no diplomatic ties with Eritrea, which broke away from Ethiopia in 1991 after a civil war that lasted three decades.
