PEOPLE often ask: What kind of computer should I buy? Then they talk about brand names or the speed of their dream machine. Me? I talk about memory.
Memory is key to computing. Put in enough and your programs will run fast and well. Put in too little and they'll crawl, no matter how fast your machine is. I'd rather have a slower computer with 16 megabytes of memory than a faster one with eight.
Think of memory as your desktop. The bigger it is, the more work you can lay out, the more programs you can handle at the same time. Technically, it's called random-access memory, or RAM.
So if you're shopping for a computer, look for the line that talks about RAM. If it has less than eight megabytes (8 MB) of RAM, don't buy it. Get 16 MB of RAM if you can afford it.
That's the rub, of course. RAM doesn't come cheap. Even if you install the memory yourself (which is a fairly easy process), each megabyte costs $40 or more. So turning an 8 MB model into a 16 MB dream machine means shelling out an extra $320.
If that hardware is too pricey, invest in the next best thing: memory-compression software. While the technology has been around for years on the Macintosh, it has come to the IBM-compatible world only recently. For $30 to $70, you can fool your 8 MB RAM computer into thinking it has 16 MB.
I tested three such programs and they all provided this benefit. It allows users to consult a spreadsheet for information that they're including in a letter to someone whose address they'll have to look up in a database. Before the Macintosh and (on the IBM-compatible side) Windows, most desktop computer-users had to close out of one program before opening up another. Today, they can open all the programs at the same time and skip easily from one to the other.
The three programs I tested were: RAM Doubler from Connectix, Hurricane from Helix, and QEMM with MagnaRAM from Quarterdeck. I've been a longtime fan of QEMM. It has done a wonderful job of managing memory in my computers that run Windows 3.1. Whenever I got a new computer to test, I automatically installed QEMM.
And the latest version - 8.0 - is not bad. On a Toshiba notebook computer equipped with 8 MB of RAM, I found it allowed me to run more than twice as many programs. That was far better than the boost I saw from RAM Doubler.
But there's a new star in memory utilities that's even better. It's Hurricane. The software allowed me to run 14 of my favorite programs at the same time - up from six under regular Windows. Moreover, it loaded them faster than its competitors.
The only problem with Hurricane is that it doesn't yet run on Windows 95. Windows 95 offers an intriguing challenge for the memory companies. The operating system is excellent at managing resources, but it could still benefit from better memory compression, so that's where the companies are aiming.
QEMM already has a Windows 95 version out (which I was unable to test, because it is not yet compatible with the operating system's disk compression). And Syncronys Software had to stop advertising its program, SoftRAM, as Windows 95 compatible, because it didn't live up to expectations. It now plans to sell a fully revamped version in a few weeks. Other programs will follow.
But eventually, Windows itself will likely do the memory compression, so today's products have a limited lifetime. ''We have a product that we can sell for three or four years,'' says Rainer Poertner, chief executive of Syncronys.
So sales of memory compression will probably boom in the short term. Everybody can use more computer memory.

"Dr Paul Monaghan (Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross) (SNP)
He is highlighting some alleged facts in relation to the engagement that badgers have with cattle. I would like to suggest that there is absolutely no evidence to substantiate that view whatsoever.
Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (The Cotswolds) (Con)
I simply say to the hon. Gentleman, who is an intelligent chap, that every bit of logic points to the fact that there must be a link. If badgers have TB and cattle have TB—I do not think this island is alone; this takes place in the rest of the world —any scientific hypothesis would assume there is a link. It is not credible for him to suggest otherwise." https://goo.gl/QNjbae
Assumption, the watchword of logicians.

The partnership is a splendid idea, but please note that there is no logical or practical reason for University X to fill its Eprint Archives solely or even primarily with University X articles published in University X Press journals! The target content is of course University X articles in *all* journals. But Oxford is certainly no mere university X, nor is OUP any old journal publisher!

As a guest at our Inn, you are well placed to enjoy all that The Burren has to offer. Whether it's walking the limestone pavement, cycling along the flaggy shore or following a cultural, musical or Burren Food trail through the area – it's all right on our doorstep.
The smallest of six National Parks in Ireland, the Burren National Park is around 250 square kilometres. It is enclosed by the rough circle made by the quaint and picturesque villages of Ballyvaughan, Kinvara, Tubber, Corofin, Kilfenora and Lisdoonvarna.
The name 'Burren' comes from the Irish word Boíreann, meaning 'a rocky place'). This describes the Karst landscape which is underlain by limestone slabs and which would have covered the whole of Ireland some 360 million years ago. It comprises miles upon miles of swirling, gently folding rock, tiers, hollows and pavements – which, in some places, is more than 700m thick. From ash and hazel woodland to grassland, cliffs and fen, the countryside here is rich in flora and is an area of great conservation.
- The Green Road by Anne Enright
Follow the history and mythology of the Burren – an area with more than 90 megalithic tombs, portal dolmens, a Celtic high cross in the village of Kilfenora and a number of ring forts, all in the area.


text: Monday, Dec 27, 1875. Thursday evening met the Centennial state board, a part of the advisory committee and a part of the Committee of Selection at the Centennial for consultation. The utmost harmony prevailed and there is every reason to believe that the Art interests will receive all attention. The state board is through with nearly everything else and will have time to attend fully to this department and besides they will appropriate money to collect and forward the pictures. Downing and Fred Norton dined with me on Wednesday. Friday morning I went home to spend Christmas. We had all of Uncle Charles people over in the evening and Saturday Fred and Annie dined with us. We all gave and received inexpensive presents. It snowed Friday night and the effects next day were beautiful. I took a walk. It rained Saturday night. Came home this morning having had a delightful visit up home. I believe I enjoy home more in the winter than at any other time. Found my stretchers here. Went to Goupils and got canvases, stretched and colored them and besides made a sketch of an effect of snow I saw on Friday. Spent the evening with Eastman and talked the woes of the Academy. Received a nice long letter from Booth from Philadelphia.

Easily Find The Best Performing Version
Get much higher precision and detail than Multivariate Testing. Even on low traffic.
Don't Need More Traffic
BestVersion uses an elaborate mathematical approach, that extracts conversion insights from mixed features-data. It allows us to work on much lower traffic. Avoid the traditional brute-force multivariate tests.
Higher Precision
Know exactly what features and variations influence your conversion rates, and how much. BestVersion delivers results that would only be reachable by running hundreds or thousands traditional A/B-Tests.
Detailed Insights
Intuitively find optimization vectors for your conversion rates. Everything is packed in a self-explanatory management report, ready for the printer and for your implementation. Easy, simple, direct.
Focus On Details, Get Higher ConversionsAny detail on your page may have a significant effect on your conversion rates. A/B-Testing is a naive and clumsy approach of testing two pages against each other, without exploring the reasons. One of the two may work better, but it is not the best possible version.
On your right you see a page simulation. 6 features - each has 4 variations - leading to 4,096 possible sites! Only BestVersion will tell you: which combination is best, what parts of it, why and by how much. On low traffic.
Sizes, contents, colors, images, structure, position, pricing,... everything is testable - even with multiple goals!
Highest Conversion At Low Cost
A/B-Tests treat each element in isolation. BestVersion also tests interdependence of elements and finds the best converting option.

Okay so everything is in a state of flux where I work at the moment. It the end of an era.
The business is folding.
A major round of redundancies has been announced and the consultation period has started. People don't yet know if they are going to be asked to leave at the end of March or if they will have to stay on for a bit longer.
The general atmosphere is one of bitterness. People are muted
Fearful for the future and pissed off at the present.
I am fearful.
And I find it terribly sad that the business is so mismanaged that it has come to this
I've worked for this Trust for over a decade. I've had 5 different jobs since I joined and it has served me well. As a single mother I was able to balance my work/home life. As time passed I was promoted and my pay has more than doubled over the years.
Do I want to go?
Oh Hell yes!
I want out of this crazy negative energy.
I've always wanted to start my own business and the money would set me on that road nicely. With the advice of my mentors, the business concept I have and the connections readily available I believe that I can make it.
I feel that this is one of those times to make that leap for employed to self-employed.
Take that risk!

Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi 24th January 2015 Written Episode Update
Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi 24th January 2015 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Sharman takes care for Ishaani's hand, Pratik scolds her for holding the string. Sharman asks someone to put bandage on her hand. Amba notices that though Ranveer hadn't come to help, he was saddened at her injury. He leaves the roof. He comes to the study, he asks why she came to flying kite when she doesn't like it; this is all drama. He recalls the time he used to ask her to come to roof for kite flying. He tried to convince her but she said she isn't going to get convinced, she said so many people leave their lives while kite flying, the string is really dangerous. Ranveer teased her that he didn't know about it, she told him she read in a newspaper that the bike drivers wear a special helmet to save them from the strings of kite flying; she won't be a part of such an activity. He held her hand and told her that no one is going to leave his life with her flying kite, she said her hand could cut. He teased her that this is her real reservation. She said he will realize it someday, he said he will when she will fly the kite. He smiled, then came to a realization of his thoughts.
Dewarsh puts bandage on Ishaani's hand, she says she will do it but he says how she will do it with one hand. He clears her wound with anti-septic.
RV was disturbed saying why she touched the string when she was so afraid of it. He says she won't be able to bandage properly. He goes out.
Ishaani says thank you to Derwash, he asks if he must send her meal upstairs but she says she will come downstairs in a while. She thinks RV had left the roof, and wants to show her he doesn't care watching her in pain. She thinks about a plan and everything is fair in love and war.
Ritika takes Pratik to a side, he was excited that she is going to share a surprise with him. She asks him to tell him about Sharman's choice for gift. He says he likes antiques. She says they will buy some from mall.
RV watches cotton in the room, filled with blood and gets worried.
Parul makes Ishaani sit on a table. Parul serves her, but she says she wants to know if Ranveer has eaten of not. Parul says only she and RV are left. Ishaani watches Ranveer coming down, she points at Parul to leave. Parul says she is going for something important, she must eat. Ishaani says alright, she can leave. Ishaani held her hand and struggles to eat with one hand. He asks if she couldn't call someone to make her eat. She says everyone was busy, it is ok she will eat. She struggles again.
Amba and Lakshmi were thinking, the lawyer says she wanted to show her something. Amba says she is waiting for someone to come and free her son from his disloyal wife.
RV takes Ishaani's plate.
She asks if he is angry too, he may eat it she will bring another plate. He takes her hand and asks her to sit. She sits down. He makes bites and put it in her mouth. She smiles while eating it. He makes another to put in her mouth. Her hair disturb her, he puts them back behind her ears. She asks if he hasn't eaten, he may eat some. He says he will eat later. He accepts it is because of him what happened today, the person who is afraid of string has been hurt. Ishaani asks if he still remembers this, he says he tried to forget. She says she could also not forget anything, their childhood or youth.
Someone comes home with a drummer. It was Chiraag, he recites a poetry. Amba takes the lawyer along her. RV asks to end this drama, the drummer stops beating. Everyone from the house gather there. RV asks what this all happening is. Chiraag says this is all what he is doing to get his love, he is the one and only boyfriend of Ishaani. He comes to Ishaani saying here you are, he loves her so much. She came to him on karwa chot, and he came for utrain. He says she used to see him on the kite flying and is afraid of the string. Ishaani calls firmly on him to leave, he says this is just about the restrictions of the society. She has to say this because this family is against him, but he knows she loves him still. She has worn a black saree today, she is mourning today to celebrate she is living with a man whom she doesn't love. He says he has brought red saree for her so that her Ishaani celebrates this event with him. Ishaani asks him to stop his mouth. He holds her hand and says he is tired now of meeting her in privacy. He says he wants to take her from them, she asks him to shut up but he says he doesn't need to say this all to them. He says they will live together from today, tied in a new relation. He turns to go and get a red saree, a dress of their new relation, a shagun.
Amba comes forward to Ranveer. Chiraag gives the red dress to Ishaani. Amba says Ishaani now dares a lot, Chiraag is confessing his love in open today. They both are shameless, but they are respectable family. He must let her go with Chiraag, she was never his. Ishaani stops Amba, comes to RV and says Chiraag is lying. He wants to set them both apart, he must not listen to him. Amba says now everything will be done by lawyer, he will get divorce from her because of this illegitimate relation.
PRECAP: Amba asks the lawyer to get divorce papers ready, as they won't even need to call Chiraag. He will come by himself.

Pentax Optio 43WR Review
Features & Controls
With an internal Pentax 2.8X power zoom lens (equivalent to a 37-104mm lens in 35mm format) the Optio 43WR is designed for maximum protection against water. The lens operates within a full range without protruding from the body of the camera. The glass lens is constructed of 10 elements in 7 groups with three aspherical elements. The aperture range is F2.8 - F3.9. Combined with a 4X digital zoom it has a total zoom of 11.2X.
Featuring a 5-point, TTL contrast detection autofocus system with selectable Spot focus,
infinity landscape and manual focus options. The AF range is from 0.98 ft to infinity in
normal mode and from 3.93 in. to 1.64 ft in macro mode. Manual focusing is available from
0.33 ft to infinity.
The built-in flash has modes for auto flash, fill-flash in low lighting and
backlight condition, flash-on and flash-off and "Red-eye" reduction function
which employs a single discharge. The flash working range at ISO 100 is
approx. 0.33ft - 9.5ft (0.1m - 2.9m) at 5.7mm, and approx. 1.64ft - 6.9ft
(0.5m - 2.1m) at 16mm
The optical viewfinder is coupled to the zoom focal length but lacks any
kind of dioptric adjustment. The optical viewfinder shows about 85% of the
captured image area. There are LED indicators for flash, focus, and image
processing status.
Controls on the back: Top right is the zoom rocker switch, in playback it
controls the index and enlarge functions. There are dedicated buttons for
the Voice Memo, Flash mode (functions as the Protect button in play mode)
and Focus mode (Macro, Landscape, Manual Focus), it's also the image Delete
button in play mode. The button above and to the left of the 4-way is the
Play mode button, press it to review images. The 4-way selector switch is
for navigating menu options, press the OK button in the center to accept
selections. Press "Up" to change Drive modes in record or to set DPOF
printing info in play mode. Press "Down" to change the recording mode (see
the next page for the various modes available.) The MENU button calls up or
dismisses the onscreen menu system.
On top is the power On/Off button and the shutter release.
Images and movie clips are stored on Secure Digital or MultiMedia cards, Pentax provides a 16MB SD card with the camera. The camera is compatible with all SD cards up to 1GB in capacity.
Shown here with a spacious and speedy
Sandisk Ultra II 256MB SD card.
I/O Ports: On top is the DC IN port for an optional AC power supply or external battery pack.
The Optio 43WR is powered by either two AA-size batteries or one CR-V3 type battery. Note the O-ring weather seal around the battery door. As always, we recommend the use of NiMH rechargeable or the new RCR-V3 rechargeable batteries, they're reusable, provide much more power than alkalines and save you money in the long run.
Pentax claims a battery life of up to 500 shots using the CR-V3 type battery, 300 shots using NiMH batteries, and 100 shots using Alkaline batteries.

Mark Pol, International Dutch artist
Mark Pol, born 17th October 1943 in The Hague has found an early passion for painting. His interest in drawing and painting started in primary school. And later on he went to the Photo Academy followed by the Free Academy of Art led by George Lampe.
The work of Mark Pol, also shown on his website (http://www.markpol.nl), is in essence inspired by daily human life, without losing its vulnerability and the animal unpredictability. Despite the timeframe the painting or drawing might seem to be in, humanity is key in his work.
In the early stage of a painting, Mark Pol draws his thoughts and dreams with a pencil and then continues his vision with a basis of oil – or acryl paint on canvas. The expression of Mark Pol are often too much for the two dimensional canvas and the result is a three dimensional world, shown in different materials.

Chasing Wonder Woman
A Quick Disclaimer. This is not a Review. Rather than my journey in Chasing Wonder Woman.
June 01, 2017
A day removed from a pretty forgettable yesterday. I had something to look forward to. I aim to bounce back from yesterday's mishaps and had Wonder Woman to watch.
The morning started great. I beat my 5:15AM alarm and I have 15 minutes to spare. It always feels great to wake up with a full sleep. I quickly browsed the web for High Street's Wonder Woman schedule, but alas. None were available yet.
I proceeded to ready myself to work and was done by 5:30am. I picked up an Uber, and my bill was P20 lower than the estimate. The day was starting great.
I casually walked to High Street to buy myself a ticket. There were two choices, a 4pm P300 showing or a 4:20pm P500 3D/4DX. I went with the latter to give myself leeway. On the way back, I met a lady heading to my building and as uncomfortable I am with elevator talk, it was nice talking to her.
Workhours ended. Though not without some errors, I felt much better ending the day.
As I rode the elevator down, and the door closes, I realized I forgot to do something. I forgot to Time-out!
The wait going down and up and down again was terrible and it was already 4:15 by the time I was back down.
I was in my jeans when I started to run to High Street. As my earlier walk took me 10mins, I knew I was screwed.
I wanted to have bought drinks before going in the cinema, but the queue at Happy Lemon was insane. Seven cups more. I decided to forego the drink and rush to my seat.
Fortunately, if there's one thing I can count on Filipinos, it is tardiness. Nico Antonio's piracy in jail thing had just started so I know I had minutes to spare.
Was it worth it? Hell yeah it was! Wonder Woman is indubitably the best DC movie in this Universe, maybe even all of DC? I can only think of Dark Knight as an equal, yeah I went there! What made this movie seem perfect to me was the amazing story telling. It does not rely on OMG Look Look type of moments, rather, it relies on telling a good story all throughout.
Growing up , I had a tendency to root for the heels (bad guys), though this movie did not have a bad bad guy (Remus Lupin was fantastic BT Dubs), I rooted for Wonder Woman to beat him, and it was such a refreshing change (For me, at least).
It was such a feel good movie, I decided to jog/walk home rather than commute.
For all Superhero fans out there, this is a movie not to be missed. Hell, I'm even confident enough to say that this movie will be enjoyed by even non superhero fans.

HAMPSHIRE will face Somerset in the Royal London One-Day Cup final on May 25.
The holders will return to headquarters a week on Saturday after beating a Lancashire side including James Anderson by four wickets, with an over to spare, at The Ageas Bowl.
Rilee Rossouw, who scored 125 in last year's final, made 85 in a fourth-wicket stand of 122 with James Vince (79) after Gareth Berg's maiden five-wicket haul in limited-overs cricket and Mason Crane's brilliant 3-42.
Berg (5-26) sliced through the tail, while leg-spinner Crane appeared back to his best as Lancashire were restricted to 241.
The visitors beat Middlesex in a play-off thriller on Friday night, but were this was their ninth straight List A semi-final defeat, while Hampshire are on course to retain their title.
Saqib Mahmood struck with the fifth ball of Hampshire's reply when he found Tom Alsop's inside edge.
The fast bowler followed it up with two more wickets; Aneurin Donald slashed to point and Sam Northeast chopped on to leave Hampshire 23-3.
Mahmood finished his six-over opening spell with 3-20, 48 hours after his 3-15 against Middlesex.
But Vince responded with a pair of delightful square drives and a pull as he dug Hampshire out of the mire with a 55-ball half century.
Hampshire's captain, who was released by the ECB to play, guided Rossouw through a sticky start before the South African reached a 69-ball fifty with back-to-back boundaries off James Anderson; a sumptuous straight drive and then a powerful pull.
The stand was ended when Vince was run out by a sharp piece of fielding from Steven Croft at cover.
But Rossouw continued to slide through the gears, while Liam Dawson found important boundaries at the other end in a 59-run collaboration.
Dawson was dropped on 26 by Matt Parkinson but didn't capitalise as he skied soon after.
Rossouw was then bowled off his pads – but Hampshire made it back to Lord's when James Fuller scored the winning runs with six balls to spare.
Earlier, Lancashire won the toss and elected to bat first on the same wicket on which England and Pakistan shared 734 runs 24 hours earlier.
Keaton Jennings and Liam Livingstone put on 37 for the first wicket before the latter was bounced out by Fidel Edwards – with Crane taking a simple catch on the square-leg boundary.
Alsop once again displayed his burgeoning wicketkeeping skills with a stunning full-length dive to catch Croft; he now has the most dismissals in the competition, with 13 catches and five stumpings.
Jennings and Jake Lehmann rebuilt again with a 67-run stand, which saw the England opener move to a 56-ball half-century.
But Crane soon bowled Jennings before Dane Villas slapped him to Vince at extra-cover.
Having reached a 53-ball 50, Lehmann slog-swept Dawson to Fuller on the deep mid-wicket boundary.
From that point Hampshire took control, stifling Rob Jones (38 from 62 balls) before he slogged Crane to long-on.
Berg cleared up the tail, seeing off Josh Bohannon and Graham Onions within four balls before bowling Anderson and having Mahmood caught by Vince.
Berg said: How good is that! "It has taken me 12 years to get to a [limited-overs]five-wicket haul but things all worked out today.
"We are over the moon, the job is almost done and whatever happens on that day happens.
A week after losing by seven wickets to Hampshire at Taunton, Somerset reached the final by beating Nottinghamshire by 115 runs at Trent Bridge.
"Hopefully Somerset are scarred from our game the other day," added Berg.

Champagne Tastes: Beer Budgets
May 2008 -
IGB Grant +1 514-849-3508 & Amit Kaminer +1 416-413-1636 & Cynthia Lee +1 416-619-4926
"Champagne Tastes: Beer Budgets" is an examination of the next stage of the evolution of wireless competition.
What happens after the license auction later this month?
How much will the new entrants have to spend?
There have been estimates before from a low of $650M to a high of $1.5B. That intrigued us.
Of course asking how much new entrants might spend is like saying how high is 'high' ... you can spend and spend and spend. But if that is not your aim, at least initially, how much would it take to reach, say, the 60% of Canadians that live and work in the largest 15 communities?
After all, the other government innovation, mandated roaming, will look after the interests of those new entrant customers who need service outside those core communities ...
Our answer? Much less then we supposed.
We also contend that we will see more than one, and even more than two new service providers. And, furthermore, the new wireless economics that we document may even make it possible for incumbent carriers (read "Telus") to put into effect the long rumoured plan to move to GSM.
All in all, exciting times.

Scram Kitty DX, the deluxe version of last years Wii U indie game Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails from Dakko Dakko, is now available for Vita. Is it meow-nificent, or just what the cat dragged in?
While from the screenshots you may be expecting the game to be predominantly a 2D shooter, and fundamentally it is at heart, the game is equally as much of a platformer. The objective of the game is to rescue four cats from each level from space mice; the first is always at the exit, one requires you to defeat the level boss, another is obtained by collecting 100 scattered coins, and the final kitty requires you to chase after it – effectively a timed checkpoint race across the level.
Your character is on rails – literally – and these rails must be strongly magnetised, as you will be returned to them as if by a bit of elastic unless you're able to reach another platform. Not all rails are the same, and you will encounter some which propel you in one direction, prevent you from jumping, slide you around, or result in injury. Pressing jump again before landing gives you a higher jump and turns you into a fireball, enabling you to destroy enemies and certain parts of the environment. Also, rather strangely, the more heath you have, the higher you can jump, which does make some longer jumps trickier when on low heath.
The game is not one to hold your hand – aside from four short tutorial levels demonstrating the requirements to capture the four cats, there is effectively no guidance at all, and particularly at the start of the game, you'll find yourself approaching something of a learning cliff rather than a learning curve. The controls, particularly combining the double jump with the orbit effect of the magnetisation pull, take a lot of getting used to. At times you are required to either have great speed or exacting precision, but you never feel that you are able to do either reliably.
As a result of the above, the first hour or so is incredibly frustrating, and will inevitably turn people away from the game. While faced with this battle against the controls, a stream of new gameplay mechanics are thrown at you, which you are left to solve for yourself. If you can persevere beyond that, the game comes alive as you start to get a feel for what you can do, and deaths become predominantly as a result of your own incompetence or impatience rather than a battle with the controls.
Obtaining all the cats becomes an addictive obsession, and at points you start to develop a feeling of a risk/reward ratio, in deciding whether to gamble as and try and bringing back an additional kitty, or banking the ones you have already.
Your default weapon can only fire at a 90 degree angle to the side, which can cause a few awkward moments while you look for the right angle of wall or just for the enemy to move to somewhere you can shoot at it. There are three alternate weapon pickups which can really change the feel of combat, they more powerful and are required to break through into new areas or activate switches, but are more limited by range or rate of fire.
The retro-inspired art-style means the game looks great, and appears well polished – despite all the action underway at times, I didn't notice any performance issues, although there were a couple of times where I was warped back to the start of the level following contact with a moving object.
The difficulty seemed rather variable between levels and challenges, although this is helped by a non-linear progression which is very generous about letting you move on to another stage without having to collect all, or even most, the cats from the previous ones.
Once you're got to the end of the 24 non-tutorial levels and defeated the final boss, with each stage having the same goals the game starts to feel a little repetitive, although your longevity will depend on how determined you are to go back and rescue all the cats on each level.
The deluxe version sees the introduction of cross-save with the PS4 version (the game is also cross-buy) and a challenge mode – which consists of trying to collect all the cats on a level within a time limit – with the clock reduced for damage taken. The challenge mode leans heavily on speed of movement, which was the part I struggled most to get to grips with, but it was a nice variation from the standard level goals. The challenge mode also has leaderboard support, enabling you compete against your friends for the best time.
If you have the patience and determination to get though a tough first impression and learn to adapt to the controls, you will find a good, enjoyable game that effectively combines a 2D shooter and a platformer into a unique mix, but many will understandably have thrown in the towel before this point.

Responsive Website Development Using A Mobile-First Strategy
When the World Wide Web first started out websites were generally only viewed on huge desktop PCs with heavy CRT monitors. At the time these monitors had comparably low resolutions to what we have today. The most common resolutions were 640x480 and 800x600, and eventually this worked its way up to 1024x768 which became the standard size considered when designing websites.
But it's just not that simple any more:
"By the end of 2013, it is anticipated there will be 44 million smartphone connections in the UK, up from 36 million in 2012. This means that over 50% of adults in the UK will own a smartphone" (Portio Research, January 2013).
With the evolution of smart phones and tablet devices the way people access the internet has changed. We should no longer cater solely for desktop (i.e. keyboard, mouse and a big screen) web browsing. A website designed for a 1024 x 768 screen means people viewing the site on a mobile have to constantly pinch, zoom and scroll around to get what they need from the site.
An Early Solution – Separate Domains
An early solution to the problem was to build separate websites for mobile devices, usually under the 'm' or 'mobile' sub domains of the main site. This normally means double the development and double the maintenance time needed to keep both sites up to date. With the rapid growth of the tablet market, questions arise whether tablet users should see a 'full' website or the mobile version.
A Better Way – Mobile First Responsive Websites
An alternative solution is to create a responsive website using the 'Mobile First' approach. With this approach you design and create one website to display all content on a mobile device with limited resolutions and reduced capabilities, like no Flash or JavaScript, then through the use of progressive enhancement techniques, such as using CSS3 media queries, change how the content is displayed to be more appropriate to the device viewing the website. Media queries allow the loading of different CSS files based on device resolutions, giving you the opportunity to change the sizes of different elements on your website.
Mobile phones are generally subject to slower connection speeds than ADSL or cable and can also be restricted by a data contract limiting monthly bandwidth usage. There are two problems when it comes to designing a website for desktops and mobiles – load times and pictures! Mobile visitors will not appreciate your site if it's slow and uses up a lot of a data allowance on big pictures. But, if you only have small images then people visiting your website on a desktop are going to be disappointed. So what's a developer to do? A great idea is to use mobile first responsive website images.
Using JavaScript and multiple copies of an image in different sizes means you can display the smallest image to all devices; if a bigger screen is detected the image can be replaced with its larger counterpart. Using JavaScript image tags means images can be changed after the page has loaded and people probably won't even notice you slotting it in. For example here is our original image. It's 51KB:
And here are the images resized for all devices:
Image Displayed on Desktop – files/styles/list_desktop/image1.jpg (26KB)
Image Displayed on Tablets – files/styles/list_tablet/image1.jpg (16KB)
Image Displayed on Mobiles - files/styles/list_mobile/image1.jpg (14KB)
Remember, it's not unusual for a web page to contain 50 or more images. If the original files were used the mobile would have to download around two and a half megabytes of information! Displaying the images created for desktop means the download would be over one megabyte, but with the images optimized for mobile saving it's only 700KB. Over half a megabyte of someone's precious data limit is saved and the speed of loading increases by doing this. You can see the benefits of progressively enhancing images on your site - but this is just one of the tools in our toolbox for providing the best possible user experience!
What The Future May Bring
Over the next few years it's likely that we'll see devices getting both smaller and bigger. We might see head mounted computers, like Google's "Project Glass", or something like an "iGlass/iPatch" from Apple! Then the other extreme is TV with its sizes, screen resolutions and capabilities ever-expanding - and of course these will be connected to the web. How are we going to optimize for screens of vast resolutions designed to be viewed from a distance? Consideration of how content is presented to the viewer across multiple devices will become an essential requirement - responsive web design is one possible solution for us to overcome these challenges.

A San Francisco man who had been stealing from tip jars around the Richmond District was finally caught red-handed.
Police say they spotted the 64-year-old suspect getting off a Muni bus at Sixth Avenue last week. The officer recognized the man, who had been coined the "Tip Jar Stealer," so he followed him.
Sure enough, the suspect walked into a Schubert's Bakery on the 500 block of Clement Street, and stuck his greedy hands into the tip jar. He grabbed the cash, put it in his jacket, and walked away, as if it were money he had earned.
"He just put his hand in the tip jar and took a dollar or two," said one employee who didn't want to use her name. "I heard [it's happened to] a lot of stores here."
As the suspect turned to leave the bakery, he bumped right into the knowing police officer. The cop grabbed the cash from the suspect, whose only defense was: "What did I do? I need some money!"
The officer quickly learned where all his money was going once he found a pipe used for smoking narcotics in his pocket. Police arrested the man on suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property, and narcotics violations.
Needless to say, the only thing this man rightly earned was a trip to county jail.

Meet The New Norman Bates & Marion Crane!
No, it's not for a new PSYCHO movie and no, this isn't casting for the proposed BATES MOTEL TV pilot in the works, but instead, it seems the movie version of ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE MAKING OF PSYCHO is moving full speed ahead!
Adapted from the book by Stephen Rebello which chronicles the making of Hitchcock's now notorious and most famous film, the feature film version to be helmed by director Sacha Gervasi has already had both Anthony Hopkins attached as Alfred Hitchcock along with Helen Mirren as his wife Alma. Now word comes in on the casting of PSYCHO's two lead actors.
James D'Arcy will be portraying Anthony Perkins in the film, with Scarlett Johansson set to play Janet Leigh. Here's a look at the actors side by side:
Fox Searchlight is producing the pic from a script by John McLaughlin. Ivan Reitman, Joe Medjuck and Tom Pollack will produce through their Montecito Picture Company along with Tom Thayer. Filming is set to begin shortly for a 2013 release! Good to have some much deserved attention focused back on the PSYCHO legacy!

text: Anyone know any tricks to get the pdn 7 to talk to the linksys wifi? I have the WRT120N router and I have tried just about everything to get it to work including changing the network mode, turning ssid on and off, turning off network security, changing from wpa to wpa2 (personal).

More than ever before the marriage institution is facing a turbulent time. There is high rate of divorce and couples are finding it difficult staying together with less friction. For some they are still married to each other for the sake of the children, they no longer find joy or companionship in their marriage, how sad! Marriage is meant to be enjoyed, it is supposed to be a place where you find true companionship, love, a shoulder to lean on regardless of your marital circumstance but this can't be said for many couples today.
I feel very sad when I see couples who have been together for decades end their marriage and the kids struggling to come to terms with this. Sometimes being opened to each other in marriage can save your marriage. A lot of couples today are not open to each other and this gives room for a lot of issues to find their way into the marriage and destroy it. Being open to each other starts with regular and effective communication, how often do you and your partner talk about yourself, about your relationship? Most times couples talk about everything but not about themselves , they talk about the family finance, the kids, the kids education, vacation , job and so forth both not about themselves nor how to improve their relationship. Talk more about yourself and your relationship, be open about your personal issues and struggles with your spouse. Never hide or keep things from your spouse especially things that happen during your marriage.
I strongly believe that honesty is the only and best policy in marriage. Being open to each other requires honesty on the part of you both. Regardless of how bitter the truth is, always be open with your spouse and look for ways to immediately resolve the issues before it destroys your marriage. Can your spouse access your phone or social media platform without you fidgeting? Can you comfortably exchange your phone with your spouse for a day, week or months? If your answer is yes then your relationship is on the right path but if your answer is no then you know you are building a relationship that can collapse at anytime.
Be determined to make your marriage work, remember how you fell in love with your spouse and the hardwork you have put in to your marriage to make it what it is today. Be honest and open to your spouse, communicate regularly and calmly resolve all the issues between you and your spouse and you will be on your way to building a successful marriage!

The Broadmoor is welcoming a new 125,000-square-foot Exhibition Hall in spring 2020, an addition to the existing Broadmoor Hall, International Center and Colorado Hall to form "The Broadmoor Event Center."
The Broadmoor will be the only Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond awarded hotel in the country to operate a large on-site exhibition space.
The addition comes in response to clients having limited space at the resort who expressed a need for more space to allow them to engage in the other amenities the property offers. More space allows The Broadmoor to host trade shows and larger events, which are traditionally hosted in cities that already have standalone convention centers.
"Our hope is to book more tier three events like the Space Symposium," says Krista Heinicke, The Broadmoor's public relations manager. "We hope to provide flexible exhibit space for multi-day events in the off-season (late October to April)."
The hall's exterior will be designed in a modern Italian Renaissance style to match the rest of the resort, but inside it will be less formal. The space is designed to host trade shows, exhibits and new product launches.
"The facility will also provide 32 breakout rooms, giving groups utilizing the space an opportunity to hold smaller sessions throughout their exhibition," Heinicke says. "The rooms will be wired with built-in screens and the most modern technology."

Some fusion exercises snake and bend like algebra; others fall in line like simple arithmetic. Nortec Collective tends toward the latter, but its straightforward equations prove no less infectious for their ease of use. Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3 mostly consists of principal parts—traditional Mexican folk and tweaked electronic music—but the highlights raise the question of why such a pairing sounds new and novel this far down the line.
If nothing else, Nortec Collective pays ample attention to the tuba, which rumbles at the base of tracks that make a grand game of rumbling. Songs like "Tengo La Voz" and "Don Loope" twitch over fidgety beats processed into tight shapes, but they're less dance music than mid-tempo lounge excursions with a good bit of snap in their step. "Funky Tamazula" whips cool wah-wah guitar and blasts of mariachi horns into a hot lather, while "Dandy Del Sur" slinks behind a sandy shuffle of rhythm dotted with cowbell taps.
Beneath it all lies the low-end: turbulent tubas, billowing kick drums, and basslines that work like the electronic equivalent of those fat Mexican guitars. Nortec Collective's rhythmic metabolism grows more fitful as the album progresses, but the lazy, languorous bottoms lend a welcome shambling aspect to tracks that occasionally flirt with glossy cosmopolitan house music better suited for a fancy pool than a swimming hole. Save for the regrettable vocal pop song "Tijuana Makes Me Happy," Tijuana Sessions makes the most of sounding dry and dusty.

Metrolinx got a little finger wag from Advertising Standards Canada for lying to us in a flyer sent around in March. The flyer trumpeted the electrification of the ARL, but, according to the Star,
Advertising Standards of Canada found the flyer failed to explain that the Pearson-to-Union Station shuttle won't run electric trains when the service opens in 2015. In fact it will be at least seven years before the line can be electrified…
In an opinion piece in the Star, Mike Sullivan, our MP, says
The ordinary citizen was led to believe that the trains for the Air Rail Link would be electric. They will be diesel. Simple truth, but missing from the Metrolinx communication. This is what the Advertising Standards Canada determined was misrepresentation by Metrolinx. In law, the tort of deceit covers such misrepresentations — it is called fraud.

We can't get enough of natural hot springs so we've put together a second guide to some of our favourite. This time we're also featuring one from our homeland Australia. Whilst we aren't known for our volcanic landscape (normally a pre-requisite for the formation of hot springs) we have a surprising abundance of natural thermal pools and springs. Combine this with our infamous natural landscape we're lucky enough to have some pretty epic hot spring expereinces on offer.
1. ZEBEDEE THERMAL SPRINGS, WA, Australia
Located in the East Kimberley, El Questro Homestead is 700,000 acres of vast and stunningly beautiful terrain. The landscape offers outstanding diversity – from rugged sandstone ranges and broad tidal flats, to rainforest pockets, gorges and permanent waterfalls. For guests staying at the El Questro, an exclusive experience is the daily excursion to Zebedee Thermal Springs where multiple naturally occurring thermal pools and waterfalls converge within a setting of sheer cliff faces and a forest of huge native palms. If your not interested in staying at the homestead you can also enter the thermal springs for free before 12pm.
2. TERME DI SATURNIA, Tuscany, Italy
Global well-being is the objective pursued by the Terme di Saturnia. Located in Maremma, one of the most stunning parts of Tuscany, the Resort is centred around an ancient travertine stone building on the site of a rich thermal spring which dates back beyond the Etruscan era. The spring is sourced from rain water that travels on an approximately forty-year journey from the bowels of Monte Amiata, filtering drop by drop through micro-fissures of cavernous limestone. The pure spring water that surfaces into the large thermal pool at the centre of the resort is enriched with a high concentration of gases and mineral salts and flows at a constant temperature of 37.5°C. The same temperature as the amniotic fluid that protects humans at birth. The water is said to be effective in treating a variety of skin conditions, reducing cardiovascular and respiratory tension, and cleansing the liver. The healing powers of the sulphurous spring water are harnessed in luxurious, regenerative therapies at Terme di Saturnia's recently refurbished spa, which offers a range of tailored medical, nutritional, destress, detox and fitness programmes.
3. STRÚTSLAUG, Iceland
Situated next to a glacier river, and an hour walk from the nearest road, this is one of Icelands most secret spots, which most visitors have never head of. Here you can try your hand at the famous Scandinavian winter bathing technique, and alternate between the freezing glacier river and the hot natural spring. With no bathing or changing facilities, you have to be pretty comfortable with being naked in the open – perhaps one for the more adventurous soul!
The therapeutic benefits of the Rotorua area's thermal water have been known since the early 19th Century. Hailed for their healing properties, it's claimed that the geothermal waters can cure all manner of diseases and ailments including sexual impotence, arthritis and rheumatism. A short drive from South Rotorua is Keresone Creek, a natural hot spring that flows through the native bush down a stunning two metre waterfall into a quiet pool of hot water. Here you can find a steaming creek of geothermal heated water, where thousands of bubbles forced down a rock face jet up to the surface to create a natural spa bath. A little further along in the forest is a small waterfall with a swimming area below, naturally heated so you can bath here even during the coolest months. With free admission it's easy to see why this destination is becoming increasingly popular.
5. LAMP NO YADO, Japan
Probably one of Japan's best hidden gems, Lamp No Yado is a traditional Japanese Inn (Ryokan) and onsen resort, tucked away in a cove at the very tip of Noto Peninsula. Owned by Shuichi Tone, who comes from a family of shipbuilders dating back 400 years, the property sits quite literally metres from the foaming, turbulent Sea of Japan. A country road takes you to a narrow path, from where you have to climb down a switchback hill on foot. It's not really a town, or even a village, more a small cluster of traditional Japanese huts, nestled in the cliff face and surrounded by forests, sweeping down to the water's edge.
There are no TV's or cell reception, at night, the property lights up using the traditional oil lamps that have now been converted to electricity. There are four different types of public baths including an open-air bath and a hot springs bath. With segregated baths, the women's bath is a cave onsen with spectacular views out to the ocean. Secluded and remote it's the perfect place to get off the grid. No wonder this property has been a refuge for centuries of Japanese seeking to cure what ails them!

Italianate Architectural Style
Italianate style is a more relaxed and embellished interpretation of Italian architecture, most notably that of farms and large country villas. The details, borrowed from a range of Italian buildings, include decorative facades, roof enhancements, welcoming entries and campaniles. The craze for Italianate in the mid- to late-19th century -- for residential and commercial buildings -- reconfigured American cities and shaped Main Streets in small towns across the country.
Primary Characteristics
The most obvious signs that a building features Italianate style are its ornamental brackets, wide cornices and window details. Roofs are typically hipped, although they might be gabled and disguised by false parapets. The eaves protrude over very visible brackets, invariably painted a contrasting color to make them stand out on the facade of the house. Some houses have double brackets at the roof corners, and others have a line of brackets across the entire front, under a carved or molded cornice. Windows are double-hung, tall and narrow and often topped by a decorative arch or overhang.
Flat-Front, Bayfront
Different interpretations of Italianate style turned up from coast to coast in America. It became so popular that older, boxy homes were converted to Italianate style with the addition of the signature architectural details. From the 1850s through the 1870s on the East Coast, the two-story, flat-front or bay-windowed homes took over whole city blocks. Beginning in the 1860s and continuing to the end of the century, booming West Coast urban areas like San Francisco embraced Italianate style. A hallmark of the homes was their asymmetrical appeal -- they might feature a wrap-around, pillared porch or a square cupola. Cities in the East and Midwest constructed their Italianate houses in brick, limestone or clapboard. In San Francisco, most were made of wood.
Subdued to Showy
The mix of architectural elements that comprise Italianate style developed as a reaction against the more formal rigid designs of the Greek Revival style and Renaissance classicism. Its popularity eclipsed Gothic Revival, and, because it could be adapted to different uses, houses were renovated to add Italianate features. Additionally, commercial buildings embraced the boxy but quirky facades. Clapboard houses were painted gray, blue-gray or an intense yellow-green. Trim, including the signature brackets, was painted to contrast and show off the style; brackets might be lemon yellow or dark green. But not all Italianate houses and cottages are that sober: It was not unusual to find a bright pink house with sharp white trim and black shutters and detailing, or avocado with white trim and vivid yellow brackets.
Double Doors and Eyebrows
The single, solid front door of other architectural styles yielded to an Italianate double door with large panes of glass incorporated right into the doors, rather than flanking them as side windows. A front porch, even a small one, was standard and marked by columns. Most Italianate porches ran the width of the house and had slender columns topped by decorative cornices. The tall windows, as well as bay windows, might be rounded into arches, or hooded with curved pediments or triangular moldings. Decorative window toppings give them the look of eyes with eyebrows and those protruding arches and pediments are commonly referred to as eyebrows, whether they are over dormers, paired, or single windows.

A crash Wednesday south of Berthoud on U.S. 287 caused serious injury and significant traffic delays.
The crash, reported just before 6 p.m., occurred at the intersection of U.S. 287 and Larimer County Road 4E, which is south of its intersection with Colorado 56.
Colorado State Patrol trooper Paul Cherico said a Jeep driven by an unnamed driver attempted to turn from westbound County Road 4E to southbound U.S. 287 but was struck by a northbound Chevrolet Suburban. The driver and three passengers of the Jeep, all believed to be minors, as well as the driver the Suburban, were transported by ambulance to Medical Center of the Rockies with traumatic injuries.
The conditions of those taken to the hospital were not available at press time. However, Cherico said the driver of the Jeep had the most-serious injuries, while the driver of the Suburban had moderate injuries.
Because of the crash, both directions of U.S. 287 were severely restricted for more than an hour.

When Tennessee residents are prescribed a medication by their physicians, they expect to receive safe drugs that will help them overcome their health problems. However, the medications we take are not always safe sometimes they are dangerous drugs. Dangerous rugs have caused death and serious injury to Tennessee residents; therefore, it is important that doctor stay up to date with any drug recalls so they do not inadvertently prescribe one of these medications to their patients.
Recently, 98 different unexpired medications were recalled after a hospital discovered contaminations inside the drugs coming from a specific compounding pharmacy. The hospital found a foreign particulate matter inside vials of an intravenous solution. Fortunately, no injury or illness has been attributed to the vials.
Currently, tests are being performed to investigate what the contamination was inside the vials. Pending the results of that investigation, it is not known how the particulate came to be, where it developed, or what negative effects it could have on patients (if any). Patients were administered the products, mostly in the state of Michigan, between the dates of July 1 and Saturday, Oct. 26. Of the products recalled were 79 medications intended for people and 19 intended for animals.
Doctors and hospitals must take note of any dangerous drugs that have been recalled in the state of Tennessee and the rest of the nation. Just because a drug was recalled does not mean that overlooked vials and/or samples of the medication are not still present inside hospitals and pharmacies. If a mistake is made and a patient is given dangerous drugs that were already recalled, a person thereby suffering serious injury may elect to file a personal injury action to seek recovery of financial damages from those deemed responsible.

One of my favorite PBS programs was inspired by Beverly Cleary's Ramona books. This series lasted 10 episodes. I'd not thought about Ramona and Beezus until one of my Facebook friends posted this article – 10 Facts About Beverly Cleary's 'Ramona' Books – a few hours ago. Thus, I set aside another TbTB post (oooh – a pre-scheduled post that's TBP (to be posted)) and shared Ramona instead.

|Patient records, like all sensitive data, are at risk of falling into the wrong hands. In 2011, Ontario's privacy commission received 135 reports of health information privacy breaches, including missing USB keys and improperly disposed of paper records. And those are just the breaches that were reported.These breaches are not alone; more than 3 percent of Canadians surveyed say they have experienced a privacy breach related to their medical information. Although your organization and its patients are likely not at high risk, citizens seeing and hearing of these infractions may have concerns.But, you can help alleviate those concerns and build trust in your organization's security with improved processes and communication. By being aware and ready to answer questions related to medical identity theft and data hacking, your patients will be able to relax knowing their data is in good hands.
Keeping patients safe
As hackers get smarter, healthcare organizations need to stay one step ahead. Strong policies, tighter controls and sound security practices can keep your patients, their identities and their medical information safe and secure.

The team were stripped of their points after Fernando Alonso blocked Lewis Hamilton in qualifying.
They have since been thrown out of this year's constructors' championship after being found guilty of an intention to benefit from Ferrari technical secrets.
But McLaren had considered continuing the Hungary appeal because it may have led to a reduction in the £49.2m fine.
That fine, part of the punishment handed down by the sport's governing body in the spy scandal, will be reduced by the amount of prize money McLaren have earned for the points they scored up to the Italian Grand Prix earlier this month.
So it was mathematically possible, if the Hungary points were included, that McLaren might have had more points by Monza than Ferrari will score by the end of the year.
And that could have saved them several million pounds.
But a statement from the FIA said McLaren had notified it of their "wish to withdraw their appeal".
McLaren have yet to say whether they intend to appeal against the fine and ban for possessing confidential Ferrari documents.
What are these?
