"after much deliberation," they will begin to support Linux with game testing already underway.
First up is Ubuntu and Mint being supported, and they're "testing games on a variety of configurations" with 100 Linux games ready by this fall. They can't name games yet.
It's still in its infancy and so even the GOG.com teams aren't entirely sure what titles will make it into the fall launch. Some will be titles already built for Linux.
"We're initially going to be launching our Linux support on GOG.com with the full GOG.com treatment for Ubuntu and Mint. That means that right now, we're hammering away at testing games on a variety of configurations, training up our teams on Linux-speak, and generally getting geared up for a big kick-off in the fall with at least 100 Linux games ready for you to play. This is, of course, going to include games that we sell which already have Linux clients, but we'll also be bringing Linux gamers a variety of classics that are, for the first time, officially supported and maintained by a storefront like ours."
Check out the full blog update on GOG.com who are still running their Luck of the Irish sale.

What a shame for Sheffield United fans of a certain vintage that Sunday's long-cherished return of Alex Sabella at the helm of his Estudiantes side had to go ahead without the main attraction. As apologies for absence go, though, having to remain at home in Argentina to discuss the possibility of succeeding Diego Maradona as the national team coach would be difficult to trump.
The elegant midfielder turned Copa Libertadores-winning manager was arguably the Blades' most skilful ever player and Yorkshire football fans around when he signed for the club for £160,000 in 1978 will have fond memories of the repertoire of bewitching juggling tricks he unveiled on the Calendar teatime news show when he first put on the red and white stripes. He was the inspiration that night behind many kids' first comical attempts to shift the ball from shoulder to shoulder and catch it on their necks while bowing like a medieval supplicant.
Footage later emerged of Maradona showcasing the same schtick in the half-time interval during a match at the World Cup a few weeks earlier. Soon after, when the great No10's emergence had been brought to a wider audience, a story that United had only bought Sabella because they balked at paying the extra £40,000 for Maradona, their original target, became club folklore. It later transpired that the price demanded by Argentinos Juniors was in fact £600,000, a fee the Second Division club were in no position to afford, however glittering the reference the manager Harry Haslam gave them. Still, the legend was a better cautionary tale of how myopic penny-foolish trimming could be than the truth ever was.
Sheffield United were the second-most featured team on Fred Dineage's Yorkshire Television show Football Special back in the 70s. And as such the rich west Lancashire tones of the commentator Keith Macklin and the relish he applied to the names of Len Badger, Eddie Colquhoun, Tony Kenworthy, Ted Hemsley, Alan Woodward and the peerless Tony Currie made them so evocative that they still trip off the tongue today.
Sadly, that team had dispersed by the time Sabella arrived and although they continued to get good coverage, each time they appeared the spotlight was solely on the Argentinian's naked superiority over the journeymen assembled around him.
They went down that year but he was a joy to watch. He lacked pace but he made up for it with masterly control, vision light years ahead of his team-mates and an array of feints that made dribbling and duping defenders his forte.
That season seemed like a revolutionary one at the time. Germany's Bert Trautmann had shone for Manchester City in the 50s as did the Chilean sons of the south Yorkshire coalfields, George and Ted Robledo, for Newcastle. But after them, Leeds' lost lad Albert Johanneson, West Ham's Clyde Best and Manchester United's Anglo-Italian hatchet man and Andrew Neil-lookalike Carlo Sartori was about as exotic as it got.
Then Keith Burkinshaw's boldness in buying Argentina's Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa for Tottenham promised an influx of foreign talent. Alberto Tarantini joined the trail but flopped at Birmingham City and Claudio Marangoni suffered an even worse fate at Sunderland, where game after game passed the languid forward by.
The Yugoslav Ivan Golac, however, utilised his intelligence and dexterity to give Southampton a continental flavour while Manchester City bought his inept countryman Dragoslav Stepanovic, although only injuries were to rob them of the full benefits of the late Kazimierz Deyna's range of subtle playmaking arts and viciously curling shots.
Ipswich's Dutch duo Arnold Mühren and Frans Thijssen were the pick of the crop, transforming the style and attitude at Portman Road as definitively as Spurs' two imports. And Boro fans retain a fondness for Bosko Jankovic, as do Aston Villa's, that far outweighs anything they feel for the cosmopolitan legion recruited by Bryan Robson – Juninho excepted.
Labyrinthine employment regulations and cold feet after a few failures such as Nikki Jovanovic at Manchester United and Pedro Verde at Bramall Lane stopped the flow, dour Scandinavians apart, and although there were odd forays – Forest's for Hans van Breukelen and Johnny Metgod, Aston Villa's for Didier Six and, most improbably, Allan Simonsen for Charlton – it took until the 90s for the English game to be transformed.
Sabella's pioneering stint took him to Leeds to fill Currie's boots once more but in truth his spells at both clubs were full of virtuoso cameos but undermined by the inability of teams in serious decline to give him the defensive support he needed. Despite being absent for almost 30 years, however, genuine affection for him remains. Indeed, if he gets the Argentina job it won't be just Manchester United fans professing to support them at the next World Cup. There will be pockets of west and south Yorkshire in their camp, too.

Overview of Intervention Services
Substance abuse disorders inflict an abundance of pain on an individual effected as well as his or her family members and friends. The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) states that over 90 percent of individuals agree to receive help for the disorder when an intervention is done with a trained and experienced professional. However, interventions always have the possibility to not accomplish the mission, but when done correctly most are successful. In the case that an intervention does not accomplish its goal at the initial approach, the gathering usually sets the option and opportunity in place for an individual to ask for help when he or she feels ready.
Effectiveness of Intervention
Individuals controlled by the disease of addiction generally will not seek help or treatment. Due to an individual's inability to see the negative effects of addiction, an intervention may result in a saved life. General consequences faced by people affected with substance use disorders are incarceration and psychiatric institutions if not fatality. These repercussions definitely seem frightening and unpromising, yet the people living with the disorders are unable to quit using substances. An intervention can serve as an educational meeting on addiction for both parties while backed with compassion, love and concern from the professional, family members and friends. In order for an individual to willingly receive treatment, it is imperative that he or she understand that addiction is a mental disorder and that judgement is not a factor in the situation. If someone you love struggles with addiction, stressing your desire and need to help them will imbed hope for a better life. For an individual to have a stable support system, available treatment and the ability to develop new coping skills is vital to overcome any substance use disorder.
Should I Contact a Professional Interventionist?
Yes. The purpose of an intervention when confronting a person, you care about impacted by addiction is to bring to light his or her need for help. Often times, without professional assistance a family led intervention creates more difficulty in a situation. Increased difficulty arises because the individual personally living with addiction likely experiences heightened sensitivity toward friends and family; interaction with loved ones often brings out feelings of shame and fear. Interventionists are licensed and certified professionals who specialize in addiction and in addressing its complexities. A professional qualifies from an extensive amount of training and experience in areas of communication, such as conflict resolution, de-escalation of situations and motivational interviewing.
Intervention Can Help
The depth of impact substance use disorder has on individuals and their families is unfortunate. Fortunately, staging an intervention that has professional direction and planning can reunite individuals with their families. Having the right people plan and participate during an intervention is critical to its success. Substance use disorder consequently results in people being incarcerated, institutionalized and often times the disorder will cause fatality. Even though the disorder causes unpromising consequences, there is hope and a solution to help save your loved one's life. If someone dear to you struggles with a substance use disorder, please wait no longer. Call and speak to an intervention and addiction specialist today (458) 214-8040.

Community development director Ellen Divita said that people saying DeKalb is losing population and businesses are making her job harder. She told this to the mayor, aldermen, finance advisory committee, press and television audience watching cable channel 14 during a joint council-committee meeting on the FY2016 budget.
Former 2nd ward alderman Tom Teresinski had just mentioned it during his explanation of his position as a finance advisory committee member. His posit called for a freeze in hiring at the positions included in the FY2015 budget and the potential for each department head to look at making a 2-percent cut in their spending requests.
Teresinski pointed to stagnant revenue collections, losses of businesses like Barnes and Knoble, Big Lots and JC Penney's, and indications that DeKalb may be losing population as his reasoning.
First ward alderman Dave Jacobson has been expressing similar concerns throughout the budget process. Jacobson reminded his peers on the council that it was the voters they were elected to represent and those who were not employed in public service were not doing as well and couldn't afford the costs of government. He said for every 10-cents cut from the budget another 20-cents was added. and that direction was unsustainable and more and more businesses and people would be leaving DeKalb.
Monica O'Leary (7th ward) also said folks were moving out of town. She said 51-percent of the people living here were living near the poverty line and the city had to quit dumping their problems on them.
Bob Snow (4th ward) suggested spending on new hires be curtailed. He offered he may support hiring a new HR director based on arguments heard for the need. But he was less inclined to support hiring a new IT director at this time.
Mike Marquardt might support an HR director and he voiced opposition to any outsourcing in HR or IT. He said he didn't see the need or want to see the city spend any more on studies to tell them whether or not they should hire the positions.
None of the alderman or the two advisory board members allowed to attend and speak said which of the three proposed tax increases they were willing to support to increase the stagnant revenue.
City Manager Anne Marie Gaura advised the council that they could not cut their way out of their budget problems.
When pressed by Jacobson to tell the council what cuts had been made Gaura said none came to mind.
The subject of TIF was brought up by Teresinski as he noted how little progress had been made in weaning administrative dependencies on the program. O'Leary and Baker lobbied to use TIF to repair the streets, Mayor Rey wants the TIF money for "transformational" projects like downtown center/communiversity plans and a new city hall. He doesn't want to see TIF spent on maintenance. O'Leary thinks that the TIF money that's gone to the Egyptian Theatre was used for maintenance and would rather have the $5.5 million earmarked for air conditioning for the theater be spent on streets and sidewalks.
Finance advisory chair Mike Peddle asked for his committee to meet and hash out the numbers before making a final recommendation. He warned that even if it was possible to hold the line on taxes to cover operational expenses it would not likely be the case if the fleet replacement and capital improves such as street repair are to be funded.
In a bizarre set of events finance advisory committee member Mike Verbic was asked to leave the meeting by Mayor Rey. According to Verbic, Rey told him that the city attorney Dean Frieders had advised him that since not enough advisory committee members showed up for the meeting to represent a quorum of that committee only two members could attend the meeting,
Verbic was told to leave the meeting, he could not even sit in the audience. The meeting notice was published in the newspaper of general circulation.
During his tenure on the District 428 Board of Education, serving a term as President, Verbic was trained in the Open Meetings Act. He'd never heard of such an interpretation. He has called the DeKalb County States Attorney and deciding his course of action.
Verbic said Mayor Rey told him he was just trying to be cautious. He can't help but think the Mayor and senior staff just did not want to hear from him.
He said he has been asking a lot of questions on the budget and asking for answers to be backed up with records. He thinks the City may be headed in the wrong direction and that's why people are moving out.
"It is breaking my heart to see so many multi-generational DeKalb families move to Sycamore," Verbic explained. "Somehow we've got to get a handle on our finances and get a grip on reality."
Verbic said that DeKalb has 220 full time equivalent employees (FTE) and when that number is divided into the total expenditure for employee compensation the average FTE is costing taxpayers $104,000.
"That's not sustainable," said Verbic.

Folk Development Colleges (FDCs) were established in 1975. So far there are 55 FDCs country wide with an average of 2 colleges per region in mainland Tanzania. Folk Development Colleges (FDCs) have been offering folk education since 1975. In 2009/2010 the colleges provided training to 31,039 participants including 4, 913 long course participants, 26,126 short and outreach course participant out of which 13,347 participants were trained by FDCs in collaboration with other Government and private institutions.
The objectives of the training are to equip the participants (Adult Tanzanians) with knowledge and skills that would enable them to be self employed and self-reliant. The training offered at the colleges also is aimed at enhancing their understanding as well as enabling them to solve their immediate problems that arise in the society.
The training is further aimed at strengthening their skills. The main skills provided include Agriculture, Carpentry, Masonry, Mechanics, Bicycle repair, Tailoring, Cookery etc. The general subjects provided aimed at widening their horizon include Environmental education, Gender, Civics, Leadership, Housekeeping, Principles of good governance and other subjects aimed at enhancing income generating activities such as Business, Entrepreneurship, Market and Credit referrals. Colleges are community based institutions supposed to avail public and private institutions and communities with facilities for their use. Facilities include classes, workshops, furniture, play grounds etc.
Colleges offer three types of course namely Long, Short and Outreach courses. Long course enrolls mainly young youth graduates from the primary and secondary education. Short and Outreach courses apart from taking care rural folk in their area of residences, also touch base with local communities particularly women and people with special needs such as people with disabilities, elderly and those unable to come to colleges because of their roles and responsibilities.
In 2008/2009 the Ministry established a very important programme that is "Skills Development Integrated with Simple and Appropriate Technologyâ€. The main objective is to provide skills to the target groups accompanied with simple and appropriate technologies with the view to enabling them to excel in their productive endeavors. The technologies provided to 49 FDCs in 2009/2010 were power tillers, fuel conserving stoves, food processing devise, oxen and plough, push carts electricity generated by grinding machine devise.
FDCs are community based institutions at the exposure of community for utilization. Both public and private institutions are given opportunities to promote community development endeavors by introducing requisite innovations.

Chase Scope: Charlotte
Unknown 8:51 AM No Comments
Last Week: It was a wild one. Race favorite Jimmie Johnson was forced out early, Kevin Harvick brought out the hammer and four fewer names have a shot at the 2015 Sprint Cup Championship. It was a true win-to-get-in scenario for the reigning champ, and he responded with 355 of 400 laps led in the most dominant performance of his career.
Earlier This Year: After a string of Top-10 finishes, Carl Edwards finally found his way into Charlotte's Victory Lane at the Coca-Cola 600 back in May. He's followed it up with some eye-opening finishes on the 1.5-milers, and his average finish ranks only second to Kevin Harvick over the past eight Charlotte contests. Teammates Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth already have Chase wins this season; so don't be shocked to see Edwards add his name to the list.
Who To Watch: Team Penske has been rather quiet through three Chase races, but Brad Keselowski might change that this weekend. The No. 2 driver nabbed his first Charlotte win in October of 2013, and secured a Top-10 finish earlier this season.

In what seems to be further evidence of Apple's venture into the emerging territory of head mounted displays, Patent # 9,429,759, approved today provides some clues around the company's plan of positioning itself in this new wearable category.
The patent enhancement was filed on Sept 22, 2015 and approved on Aug 30, 2016.
The Patent provides details around Head-mounted display systems that allow users to couple and decouple a portable electronic device such as an iPhone or iPad. The invention addresses the need for an improved head-mounted display system, particularly a system that temporarily integrates or merges both mechanically and electronically a head-mounted device with a portable electronic device.
The HMD in this method will include an optical sub-assembly. The optical subassembly may be widely varied. The optical subassembly may include various optical components that may be static or dynamic components depending on the needs of the system.
The optical components may include, for example, but not limited to lenses, light guides, light sources, mirrors, diffusers, and the like.
The optical sub assembly may be a singular mechanism or it may include dual features, one for each eye/image area.
The head-mounted display system can operate in an external viewing mode, which allows the user to view the outside world. The head-mounted display system 200 can provide external viewing of the user's surroundings using any suitable approach.
Similar to HTC Vive or the planned Sony PlayStation VR, Apple's HMD could be equipped with a separate camera disposed on the outside of the head mountable device 202. In the illustrated embodiment, the portable electronic device includes a camera on its backside opposite the display screen and the head mounted device includes an aperture within the mounting region chat provides camera access to outside the head mounted device.
In this manner, the camera may capture image-based data that is in front of the user and further image frames corresponding to image based content received from the camera can be displayed in the standard image frame(s).
As with any other Apple Patents, It is uncertain if this will become an actual product. Could Apple be making plans to move into augmented and virtual reality? Or will it be a product that fizzles out like the Google Glass? Who knows. Only Time will tell.
What is important is that the thinking to move into HMD's still exists at One Cupertino Drive.

Decision-making on behalf of patients in persistent vegetative states is always a delicate matter, especially if, like Ms. Nyirahabiyambere, they have not left a directive. Her case, which has received no public attention, underscores the thorny issues that arise when a severely brain-damaged person's life is sustained by medical technology. With thousands in persistent vegetative states, the issues regularly surface in hospitals and courtrooms - what constitutes "futile care," what power should doctors or lawyers have to stop treatment and what role should financial considerations play. In Ms. Nyirahabiyambere's case, her immigration status adds another layer of complexity (Sontag, 3/3). This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations. Sign up for an email subscription.

Obviously, things go a lot less bad than they seemed to be going. Mumei is able to sorta argue that the unborn baby she killed along with the mother was tainted, and no fight ensues where she's forced to fight back and murder non-Kabanes. Back in the rear car, Ikoma doesn't bite Ayame, but not of his own volition; Kurusu is there in the nick of time to stop him, and in ringing his bell, snaps him out of his, shal we say, hunger trance.
But things still go bad, as this is Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, and never has there been that long a lull between crises. The first crisis becomes one of faith, as Ayame, shaken by Ikoma's attack, isn't so sure she's still the best person to run the train, even if she inherited the job. Quite surprisingly, she hands the master key to one of the ICs (Ingrate Cowards), who immediately changes course for the more dangerous mountain shortcut.
Ikoma and Mumei are locked in their rear car, along with Ikoma's friends, but the ICs' attempts to separate the car from the train and leave them behind fails when it virtually starts to rain Kabane, putting the train on high combat alert. It isn't long until the zombies are in the train. I'll say one thing for this show, it loves hiking the stakes up to ludicrous levels, and it loves to make the ICs their own worst enemies, as Ikoma and Mumei have to climb outside the train in order to participate in the battle.
The bushi and other fighters within the train actually handle themselves well for far longer than I expected them to, but inevitably, and especially with the combat-savvy, battle-hardened wazatori aboard, things start to go pear-shaped. Kurusu learns he can kill more efficiently with his sword than a gun, but that same sword lets him down when he tries to pierce the waza's chest and the blade shatters, giving the super-kabane an opening to stab Kurusu right through the chest.
Once they no longer have to worry about being decapitated by tunnels, Ikoma and Mumei bust out, and aided by a brief de-railing, engage in a fantastic acrobatic aerial battle, building up a formidable Kabane body count. Mumei's confidence when flying and twirling through the air, like a baton of death, inspired many a hearty fist pump.
It's only natural then, that when the first stage of their counterattack is complete, her fuel tank hits "E" and she goes down for the day. I loved how she and Ikoma were ready to go with the gear needed to keep her from being thrown from the train while unconscious, as well as how cool Mumei seems with leaving things up to Ikoma. Not that she has a choice, but, well, he's no Mumei…and he's starving too.
It isn't long before he can barely move himself, and beseeches someone – anyone – for a bit of blood, promising to waste the wazatori in exchange. The one who answers his call is Ayame, who hesitates not as she climbs to the top of the car and slashes her arm for Ikoma to drink from in one of the episode's handful of dynamic "muralesque" shots. She also wastes quite a bit of her blood by not waiting for Ikoma to get close enough, but she seems to be okay.
The blood re-energizes Ikoma, who polishes off the wazatori, who caused Kurusu (who somehow survives that wound) and the others so much trouble, as if he was swatting a big, lumbering fly with a steam-powered rolled-up newspaper. With that, the latest crisis is resolved, and the episode ends (thankfully) without immediately starting a new one. Instead, it ends on another still shot, with Ikoma's circle of supporters, all of whom pledged to give him their blood so he can keep fighting for them.
It's a triumphant shot, ending what could be considered a four-part movie with no shortage of badass action, heart-pounding thrills, and shocking levels of near-self-destruction on the part of Team IC. Hopefully, Ayame's latest acts of courage and faith will inspire the rest of the schlubs on board to at least consider the fact the Kabaneri aren't just Kabane by another name.
They're the good guys, and all they ask is a little voluntarily-offered blood now and again for their indispensable services.

Camping Alberello
Italy, Emília-Romagna, Riccione
- Tel:
- 0541 615 402
- Open:
- 5 April - 24 September.
Ref: IT60640
Alan Rogers Review
Camping Alberello is a busy holiday site on the Adriatic coast with direct access to the beach via a short underpass below the promenade. The beach is wide with fine sand sloping gently into the sea. The friendly owners of Alberello have designed it with campers in the centre and sports facilities plus entertainment to the rear. The bar, restaurant and reception are at the front. This ensures that campers have the pitches with least road and rail noise. The 100 level, grass pitches are small and well shaded with tarmac access roads and regular water points.
Although the four toilet blocks are fairly old, they are brightly decorated and spotlessly clean. The supermarket is well stocked with fresh foods and the restaurant offers a wide choice of dishes at very reasonable prices. A nice touch are the free air pressure hoses to inflate beach toys and air beds. If you would like to be close to the sea and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the Adriatic Riviera where the Italians love to holiday, this lively, family-style campsite has a lot to offer.
Three traditional toilet blocks are brightly painted and kept very clean. British and Turkish style WCs. Facilities for disabled visitors. Washing machines. Bazaar. Supermarket. Bar, large restaurant with terrace. Pizzeria. TV room. Very large play area. Limited entertainment programme in season. Miniclub. Watersports. ATM. Free WiFi over site. Dogs are not accepted. Torches useful.

Debunking the Myths of Plastic Surgery vol. April 2016
by Health Education Specialist James Jones
It is always assumed that plastic surgery is going to lead to dramatic change. The dramatic change does not necessarily come, however myths keep occupying our mind.
The first misconception about plastic surgery is the fact that you may end up getting injured from the surgery. The number of injuries that are tied to these types of surgeries are minimal. You can certainly enjoy the fact that you can breathe better after plastic surgery, or you are able to speak with more confidence after surgery because you know that you look good.
The second misconception about plastic surgery is that surgeons do unnecessary surgeries. The best cosmetic surgeons flower mound will definitely not perform an operation that does not need to be done. The initial consultation will give a patient a good idea of whether the surgery has to be performed.
The best cosmetic surgeons flower mound are going to answer all of the important questions that will come to mind. It does not make sense to hesitate when you have the best possible surgeon at your disposal. There are no silly questions when talking about going under the knife.
Another fallacy that some people get in their mind is that it is always possible to look like a supermodel after plastic surgery.
The third myth out there is the question of recovery time. A lot of different people always assume that there will be a large amount of recovery time with plastic surgery, this may limit your ability to get back to work.
People automatically assume that a large amount of collagen is in every surgical procedure. Plastic surgery does not always mean Botox. You can move your face and smile easily after most plastic surgeries on your face.
Books are not going to give you all of the answers about plastic surgery. Talking to people that perform the surgeries are the best way to get good information in patient's hands. It is true that the area where you have the surgery does need to be protected, so you don't end up getting an infection.
The infections are something that a team of staffers can help. The information that staffs gives you about dealing with these infections. The scars are minimal with these different surgeries, in fact, the scars are minimal because of the technology available. Technology is making it possible for it to seem like you never had surgery in the past.
Surgeries are not going to be invasive anymore; you will not have to worry about people judging you because of a blemish following surgery.
Plastic surgeries are about making sure that people have more options. You may not be able to get a date after going out to the bar right away a surgery, but if you give it time, then things will work out.

Planning a Trip to Wine Country
The first step in planning a wine tour is deciding where you'll visit. In the United States, the Sonoma and Napa Valleys of California are well known for their vineyards. Michigan, Oregon and the Lake Erie and Niagara regions are also popular destinations. Internationally, France is home to Bordeux, Burgandy, Champagne, Loire and Rhone. In Italy, Tuscany, Sicily, Veneto and Fruili are all popular destinations.
While it's possible to enjoy good wine and have a great experience spending one afternoon in a single winery, for a nice regional wine tour, schedule three or four days. If you're traveling internationally, you may want to allocate up to two weeks. On international trips, the tour schedule typically includes small breaks to visit tourist destinations in the area.
Once you have a destination in mind and know how long you plan to spend in the region, it's time to make reservations. Schedule your wine tour during the growing season. In Europe and North America, that's April to October. In New Zealand, visit during February or March to witness the grape harvest. While some wineries allow visitors during the winter months, when the grapevines are dormant, you'll miss out on the awesome experience of walking through the rows of grapevines with fruit hanging heavily as far as the eye can see.
When making reservations, it's also important to know exactly what's included in the price. Ask about accommodations, transportation and meals. If you're traveling by airline, ask if they arrange transportation from the airport or if you should do that yourself. The best way to ensure there are no unpleasant surprises on your wine tour is to ask plenty of questions.

0.005 Mbps
And 0.746mbps
Get ready for the CHUMPions to tell you speeds are "UP TO" 12 or 25.... ......
Yeah I got it almost immediately, complained my pics were upside down and whine mercilessly!!!! Told him I didn't want his advice and called him a Dork!
Hey you should feel blessed you scored that low on a speed test. When I had Viasat if I was under .5 mb It would usually just time out. I could never get a number. I knew it was very slow because how slowly even text loaded.
PRetty bad. 10.89 download and 1.05 upload
Due to guaranteed payment from Fed and a nice bonus from USDA they care not. Was there ever a modem slower than 9.6?
I almost beat that low score with Verizon Wireless. I got an 8kps yesterday that was Sunday. This 3 day weekend has been the worst. I have had the service 5-6 months everything started going downhill on evenings and weekends about a month ago. This Memorial weekend it has been mostly unusable. I am in the I-95 corridor in Central VA. I wonder if the hordes of people dumping satellite have made the cell wireless systems in the area congested or is it traffic on I-95 increasing as the weather warms up? My typical speeds are 5-10 Mbs. It was great for the first 4 or so months, the trees leafing out didn't seem to cause any issues.
Is there a harassment department to report certain people too?
Is there a harassment department to report certain people too?If the reps see someone being harassed they address the issue.
Not really sure what prompted that question.
I'm gonna guess with the tree foliage I was pushed to a more congested tower. Verizon in my area is pretty congested. We left it for ATT about 3 years ago because it was getting so bad. I do still have an unlimited ATT hotspot which I can get to work between 2 - 4 megabits so it's great for netflix.
Oh you had both Verizon and AT&T hotspots? I can see why you dropped one of them then.
Horrible speeds with Verizon are back to normal 10 Mbs. They started pulling out of the 3 day weekend funk at 7am this morning. I am assuming now evenings and weekends will be dicey due to congestion. I think around me in Central Va, Verizon and ATT use the same towers, would that make the service the same for most people?
I have had better then normal speeds on verizon this weekend and it dont make sense with tons of people from out of town since we have a 100 mile yard sale going on and lots of people on the tower I use cause its right in the line of fire LOL maybe they did something to handle the extra load
I wonder what the burden of a typical cell phone conversation has on a tower compared to someone streaming or sending video? Maybe the yard sale folks are just calling while the I-95 highway traffic has a lot of kids riding in the backseat streaming video.
we have a bunch of people that come in with campers to stay the weekend since antiques are always abundant during the sale. And no free wifi in the camping areas close so figured they would be streaming
All depends on location. I have seen wireless speeds all over the map at my location. Right now I just pulled 6.7 down and 21.8 up. On another machine I was seeing 3, but I dont have the best wifi connection in it either, so it usually is half what other devices pull.
All I know is for the price, with low latency and I have had zero streaming issues, I get by. If the LEO devices come online, that's a possible. But I can already see people complaining about too much "junk" in space obstructing views (see wind turbines, hydroelectric dams. And solar farms).

Isn't space endless and vast?
Not the view from earth. It is limited :). You saw the picture in the article? Imagine 1,000's of those up there.
Luckily there aren't too many people living in space at the moment. In a hundred years or so then maybe residents of a condominium complex between Earth and the moon might complain about the view.
I'm reasonably sure that ExSatUser's comment about the view is, at least somewhat, a joke, as in there will always be people who complain about the view, no matter how ridiculous some instances may seem to the rest of us. However, thousands upon thousands of additional items up there can begin to create real problems. All it takes is one going off course in just the right way. Ever see the film "Gravity"?
A long article I know, but here...

Oops! We could not locate your form.
What makes people feel stuck in life?
Is it some aspect of their job? Are they experiencing a disconnect in their partnership? Are they fed up with their money-situation? Are they socially withdrawn? etc etc
If there is any common denominator running through many of life's internal obstructions, then lack of confidence is high up on that list.
Confidence, or the lack of it , is mostly learnt.
Lack of confidence first developed when you were emotionally vulnerable to persons in authority, be this your parents, your teachers or anyone else whom you trusted and were dependent upon for guidance. Significant figures in a child's life have to value the child and convey positive messages. Nobody lacks confidence from the day they were born, or else they would not get back up again every time they took a tumble or banged their heads as a toddler. Self-confidence can be dented, if you experienced being discredited, rejected or doubted at any stage in your life.
Of course you cannot change what happened to you, but as an adult, you can certainly change how you want to react to various situations from now on.
Charles Kettering's quote is very apt at this point: " You can't have a better tomorrow, if you're thinking about yesterday all the time."
Building self-confidence is an ongoing process. Together with a coach, the client can explore ways to accumulate confidence, through a step-by-step, tailor-made approach, as part of the dialogue between coach and client.
You will hardly be lacking in confidence in every single aspect of your life. For example, some people experience a sense of failure in their relationships, but perform well at work. Others can barely engage freely in unscripted dialogue, when away from the the well-rehearsed routines of their respective professions, but they are nevertheless great musicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, company directors, property developers, photographers, teachers, bankers, etc. Or you might be quietly self-conscious and wounded about the fact that you were held back by dyslexia or other learning difficulties during your school-years, but you might still be brilliant at most things that you do and hugely popular at that.
In fact, there are several skills that everyone performs remarkably well. Nobody is totally unconfident at everything, even if it may seem like that when they feel low. The personal belief-system is very powerful in its ability to either hinder or propel you. As I coach, I inspire the client to re-visit their core values and to check whether these are underpinned by a matching set of belief-systems.
Instead of merely focusing on why you have low self-esteem in some areas of your life, or directing your endless attention to focusing on the factors that drain you, a coach will much rather encourage you to look for ways as to how you can build a workable and realistic idea of your future. While we would examine some old beliefs about yourself that stop you from appreciating yourself, or look into what has held you back from taking action so far, we would only do so in order to free up vital energy for you to move forwards.
For example, your coach will help you to:
1 ) identify and acknowledge your unique skills and talents, .He/ she will show you
2) how to draw from these abilities and subsequently weave them into the areas of your life
that you would like to have more control over.
3) Your coach will help you identify your specific goals;
4) introduce you to developing a sense of perspective and reality;
5) encourage you to list, then narrow down your options; and finally,
6) mentor you, as you practice and implement more life-skills.
Confidence develops when people realise they possess resources they have not tried before.
As Sir Edmund Hilary said: It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."

As read by Professor Maynard (Sandy) Mack
Tawes Hall Grand Opening Ceremony
September 10, 2009
As most of you know, our Department is enriched by the presence of several very fine poets. One of whom has recently written a very, very fine biography. Of the very, very, very fine poet, John Keats. As Stan Plumly's students were packing up his books and papers in preparation for the move to Tawes, one of our alert graduate students found a document misplaced underneath a huge pile of papers used by Stan in preparing his Posthumous Keats. A document clearly in Keats' handwriting and clearly on early 19th century paper. A document obviously intended for inclusion in Stan's book that somehow got away. A pre-"Posthumous Keats" poem. It is another of the great Keats odes, like those to a Nightingale, to Autumn, and the spectacular "Ode on a Grecian Urn." This one legibly titled, "Ode on a REstored Tawes." In his romantic genius, Keats anticipated our gathering here today. To mark the reopening of Tawes Hall, the splendid new home of the English Department, here in its first public reading since I heard it wafting out of a tiny garret onto the Spanish Steps in Rome in 1820: John Keats' Ode on a REstored Tawes.
|Thou still unravished Tawes now new restored
Thou foster-child of Regents and good times,
Sylvan historian, who can well express
Liter'ry tales more sweetly than our rhymes:
What hideous memories haunt about thy shape
Of Theatre, Music, and RTVF,
In Kirwan years or days of Daniel Mote?
What men or gods worked here? What maidens loth?
What mad research? What struggle to survive?
What hires and firings? What wild ecstasy?
All salaries are sweet; unfurloughed ones
Are sweeter; therefore, merit pay, return—
Not for our sensual ears, but, needed most,
Come to the youngest faculty, the "kids":
Fair youth, untenured yet, thou canst not leave
Thy work, nor ever darest to leave your vita bare.
Bold Chairman, never, never canst thou quit
Though longing for a break—yet do not grieve;
Thou canst not fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever will thou work…of Venice dream!
Ah, happy, happy staff! that cannot shed
Your cares, nor PRD ere bid adieu;
PWP, and those Creative Types,
For ever piping songs for ever new.
More happy classes! more happy, happy classes!
For ever warm and still to be taught well,
For ever teaching the forever young;
|All breathing human passion far above,
From CourseEvalUm, high-sorrowful--
A burning forehead, and a parching tongue.
Who are these come to our Grand Opening?
To what green altar, Theresa and Kent,
Lead thou our Nicole lowing at the skies,
And with her Shawn, Abby, Katie, Isabella?
What disc'pline groups in post tenure review,
Assessment-built with delayed F.A.R,
Are emptied of their folk, this pious day?
Grad students, thy pens now evermore will be
Fast flowing sure; but not a soul to tell
Why thou art desolate—stipends so low!
O attic shape! Fair altitude! High offices
For noble men and women overworked,
Groaning bookcases, ere-switched-on PCs!
Thou, silent Tawes, dost tease us from Despair,
As doth a parody. Cold Pastoral!
When old ages shall this department waste,
Tawes shall remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, to tell a new department, lesser sure,
"Duty is truth, truth duty—that is all
Ye know in Tawes, and all ye need to know."

'Prometheus': New image, previously unseen character
Warning: This post contains Prometheus spoilers.
Ridley Scott's Alien quasi-prequel Prometheus raised a lot of questions. Questions like, "How come it's the guy with the state-of-the-art 3-D mapping thingamabobs who gets hopelessly lost?" And, "Who exactly decorates their house with a big statue of their own head?" And, "Does Stephen Stills even own an accordion?" And…
"What was that opening scene all about?"
We can't help with the first three queries but we can offer some fresh information about the film's first sequence. The Prometheus Forum has acquired an image from some presumably deleted footage which finds the Engineer who commits planet-enriching suicide hanging out with a character who doesn't appear in the film at all.
You can see the image below although, alas, it just raises more questions. Is this so-called "Elder Engineer" an AARP-ized version of his humanity-creating colleagues? Is he from a different alien race altogether — one which engineered the Engineers? Or is it Bill Hader doing his James Carville impersonation?
Concept art in the newly published Prometheus: The Art of the Film shows the Engineer from the opening sequence being handed his fatal dose of black goo by a hooded figure who looks so much more wizened than his buddy that he might indeed be from a different alien race.
Your theories on the subject would be most welcome…

Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch have recently reassembled themselves as The LOX, and are steadily showing up with new material. The trio surprise-dropped (now known as "pulling a Beyonce") a new 4 track EP at the end of last year, and they're back again on the new track from Trae Tha Truth.
Trae generally operates within the realm of Houston rap, but "Talk About It' is a decidedly east coast affair, definitely showing the LOX's influence. It still bears the same dark, cinematic quality that colors much of Trae's work, and works as a representative cut from both parties.
If you haven't checked out Trae Tha Truth's most recent tape, I Am King, do so now.
Quotable lyrics:
Damn right, I got a fucked up thinker
Run your mouth pertaining Trae
I'm dropping 4 in your blinkers
One in you stinker

Ex-North Korean Restaurant Staff Admitted to University
Angela Jung, March 27, 2017, 9:42 a.m.
Most of a dozen North Korean women who defected last year have been admitted to South Korean universities, it was revealed Sunday. "Most of them were admitted into universities this year through special programs," a government official said. "They are in their early to mid-20s and are taking courses they feel will help them adapt to life in South Korea," the official added.
The official did not reveal which universities they are attending, due to concerns over their safety.
The women defected in April last year while working as waitresses at a restaurant in China, along with one male manager.

About Subramanian SwamySubramanian Swamy was born in Mylapore, Chennai in Tamil Nadu on 15 September, 1939. His father, Sitaraman Subramanian, was a bureaucrat while his mother, Padmavathy, was a homemaker. Swamy completed his Masters in Mathematics from University of Delhi and went on to do Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University. Swamy married Roxna, an Indian woman of Parsi origin who also studied at Harvard, in 1966. The couple have two daughters, Gitanjali Sarma and Suhasini Haider.
Political Career of Subramanian SwamySubramanian Swamy began his political career with his participation in the Sarvodaya movement. This apolitical movement eventually led to the creation of Janata Party. He was expelled from his teaching position at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi for promoting liberal economic policies. This heralded the beginning of his active political career. He was a stiff opponent of Indira Gandhi. He became a Rajya Sabha MP on right wing political party Jansangh's backing.
During the Emergency, he fled to the United States and helped organize an underground movement. In 1976, while the Emergency was still in force, an arrest warrant had been issued in his name. In a unique act of defiance, Swamy came to the Parliament, attended a session and managed to escape the country after the session was adjourned. After this incident, Indira Gandhi was made to realise that the Emergency had become a farce and she was compelled to declare the next general elections which she eventually lost.
In November 1978, Swamy was member of the Group which prepared a report of the United Nations (UNCTAD) on Economic Co-operation between Developing countries (ECDC) in Geneva. He worked on simplifying trade procedures and designed a new export policy which pioneered the trade reforms adopted subsequently. In 1994, the then Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao appointed him as the Chairman of the Commission on Labour Standards and International Trade.
Swamy was one of the founding members of Janata Party. He served as the party's president since its inception in 1990 till 2013 when it got merged with the BJP. He was elected to the Lok Sabha five times between 1974 and 1999. During 1990 and 1991, Swamy served as member of the Planning Commission and also as Cabinet Minister of Commerce and Law.
Swamy, the activist politician, filed a case in the Supreme Court to prosecute A. Raja in the 2G Spectrum scam in 2012. He also sought to prosecute the then Union Minister of the UPA cabinet P. Chidambaram and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, in the scam.
Swamy hit the headlines recently for making unflattering remarks against outgoing RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramnian and Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for which he went out of favour for many and snubbed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.

The Specials might be synonymous with Coventry, but bassist Horace Panter has been getting to know Birmingham better with a series of new artworks.
The musician-turned-artist is among several to have recreated photographs by Phyllis Nicklin of 1950s Birmingham.
His work will go on show at the Reuben Colley Fine Art gallery on Colmore row next year, including images of Hockley Flyover and Longbridge, among others.
He explained: "The Camp Hill Flyover is where I used to come in and out of Birmingham.
"I also saw the picture containing a Thames Trader, which was the first lorry I ever rode in.
"The paintings have all meant quite a bit to me, which is important so you can put your heart and soul in it."
Panter was studying fine art at Coventry University when he first got into The Specials.
He is among several artists to paint Nicklin's work as part of "Nicklin Revisited", which launches at the gallery in February.
The others are Colley himself, Danny Howes, Mark Godwin, Rick Garland, Stephen Earl Rogers and Kevin Line.
Panter's interpretations were reflective of his pop art background. He said: "I liked the fact that because the pictures had been sat in a filing cabinet for 50 years, and there had been some skullduggery with the colour, it looked like the roads were blue and the sky was pink. That really appealed to me.
"I come from a pop art background so clean lines and colour are key. I have taken a lot of things out of the pictures so it works right. I've really enjoyed it. Now, we have blue streets and pink buildings."
Panter sees art as a more long-term career, despite continuing to tour with Two Tone pioneers The Specials.
"The Specials aren't going to last forever," he said.
"Hopefully, after it gets to the point where I have to go on stage with a zimmer frame I will be able to do painting in my dotage." He added: "I found it really interesting. I have an Americana series, where I paint diners and hotels, and I didn't think this was too far removed. I like the fact that it was all about nostalgia, which is what my work is based on, so it wasn't much of a leap.
"I also liked that it was not just the photo, it was my interpretation."
