HiThank you for all the advice. After some testing i am happy with the Apple Airport Extremes. I think i am going to wait for 802.11AX or WiFi 6. Asus have some routers out at the moment but they are about R8-10k. I am seriously looking at the Ubiquiti stuff though. Will wait for the WiFi 6 stuff though. Will upgrade to a 10gbps network at the same time.
Ah cool. Thanks for the offer.Can you get these yet? https://amplifi.com/gamers-edition/
What is the price of these please? And what would you rather recommend? https://amplifi.com/explore.htmlhttps://amplifi.com/instant/
For ease of use and household coverage the Amplifi stuff by Ubiquiti is very nice
You can check here, I see they will be getting the Gamers Edition soon. Must be a new addition to their sitehttps://scoop.co.za/catalogsearch/result/?q=AmplifiI get the dealer rates, you still need to at VAT
Completely agree. I got a amplifi hd a few weeks back and wont look back. Super easy to use, installation was literally minutes and my wifi has never been as stable and consistent. Im not even using the mesh points.
I installed an AMPLIFI for a friend of mine. Works very well. So well in fact that I bought one for myself too. The problem that I have is that it limits me to 800mbps on Ethernet, on my AirPort Extreme I got 950mbps and sometime the full 1000mbps depending on the Speedtest.net server. So if you have a 1gbps line it might hamper it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Did you get the HD or Instant? I have seen this issue on a few forums with the Instant and the resolution was to turn on hardware NAT in the options to get full throughput

For 11 positions
Function generation refers to the use of a linkage to coordinate angles. This has many useful applications and function generators are often installed as elements of other linkages, such as path generators. Designing function generators is a particular challenge because of the large degree of their design equations.
We have solved the design equations for Stephenson II and Stephenson III six-bar linkages. The total degree for the design equations for each case is 1.07×109. However, we show a more in depth solution count limits the number of roots to 264,241,152 and 55,050,240. Furthermore, a numerical reduction by homotopy results in approx. 1,500,000 and 800,000 solutions for each case. The solution sets we approximated during these numerical reductions can be used as starting points with the homotopy solver Bertini to solve these large systems for specific cases in a couple of hours.
Numerical reductions for the Stephenson II case were completed over 311 hours on 256×2.2GHz cores of the UCI HPC. Following solves take 2 hours on a single 64 core node. Numerical reductions for the Stephenson III case were completed over 40 hours on 512×2.6GHz cores of the San Diego Supercomputing Center. Following solves take 1 hour on a single 64 core node.
For 8 positions
Function generation is a practical and commonly studied motion requirement. Function generation refers to the coordination of input and output joint parameters of a mechanism. For example, in the figure of the four-bar below, function generation involves the coordination of the angles φ and ψ.
The addition of two more bars provides for much more exotic and accurate functions. The six-bars that are most useful for function generation are Watt II, Stephenson II, and Stephenson III.
Six-bars are capable of producing 11 precision positions. The numerical complexity of these systems requires more study. A simpler approach is design for 8 precision positions. The design equations for these systems are highly nonlinear but tractable, which allows for the generation of many candidate designs. For example, when synthesizing for the parabola and ψ=φ2/90°, the results yielded 86, 19, and 73 defect-free linkages for the Watt II, Stephenson II, and Stephenson III designs.

Sparkwood by Daria Defore
Author: Daria Defore
Title: Sparkwood
Series: Part of LT3's My Dearest Enemy Collection
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy
Pairing: M/M, Bi
Rating: Three Petals
On the Author's Website:
Finn has never trusted fairies, so it's no surprise to him when his twin brother turns up dead, probably by magical means. What he doesn't expect is an invitation to the funeral—in the fairy realm—and a chance to find out who killed him.
Investigating Luke's death is probably the stupidest thing Finn has ever done, and soon he's up to his neck in fairy trouble. In the midst of it all is Robin, the fairy who's supposed to be watching out for him—but who just might have had something to do with Luke's death.
Maggie's Review:
I received this book as an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
When his twin is killed by fairies, Finn wants nothing more than to find the murderer and bring them to justice. When he's invited to the funeral the fairies are holding, Finn goes in the hopes of solving the mystery. Instead, Finn is accidentally embroiled in fairy politics and he quickly starts to realize that the longer he stays with the fairies, the sooner he'll end up dead like his brother.
I enjoyed the world building of this story a lot. The differences between the human town named Sparkwood versus the fairy town also named Sparkwood were very interesting. I particularly liked how the fairies tried to emulate the human side, but everything was just slightly off so Finn kept getting lost. The way the fairies were described with the strange eyes and the way they walk provided a lot of depth to the overall story.
While I did enjoy reading this book, I never felt like I was compelled to continue with it. It was missing a hook to yank me into the story. Part of that was because I couldn't identify with Finn. He's sullen and confused and generally unlikable, which made it difficult for me to follow his story. The relationship with Robin never gelled for me either.
Maggie's Recommendation:
I really liked the world building of the fairies in this story and the depth it provided, however I couldn't connect with any of the characters, which made it difficult to finish. I do recommend it because overall I did enjoy reading this book.

A Pale Moon Is Swaying
I nestle close to your image
As you drift to sleep, softly
With this beat of love resounding
In only your quiet, sleeping breath
Do you know?
I began to ask, but the words
Danced feebly and faded away

The pale moon faintly swayed
Somehow there's even times when I'm impulsive
Do I cross your heart?

As if yearning
For the person I think is precious
Do you lie?
Telling myself lies
I could only see the pale moon
Surely you haven't noticed it
The signs of my secret love
I try to erase them, but they grow stronger
I want to touch that hand of yours

Many people ask why do we need any other GNSS system in addition to GPS. This question is asked especially in view of the European Galileo related developments but also when looking at the Russian efforts of rebuilding the GLONASS constellation.
Well "need" may be too big a word but there are very significant benefits of using more than one system. For high accuracy applications, which are our primary focus, there is a significant accuracy benefit. This benefit is especially visible and important in real time usage. The additional satellites of another GNSS do improve the real-time position estimates dramatically.
To explain this we have done a simple experiment. We have taken a static station, a station that does not move, but estimated the position for each 30 second epoch over a 24 hour period. The repeatability of the epoch estimates gives us a very good measure for the precision of the epoch estimates. Since the station does not move the estimates should be the same for each epoch, well at least if our model for the Earth tides and such is accurate.
To show the effect of GPS versus GNSS we selected a station that does track both the GPS and the GLONASS satellites. Thus we could generate 3 solutions, a GLONASS-only solution, a GPS-only solution, and a GNSS solution (GPS + GLONASS). The results are given in the bar plot below where the red bars represent the GLONASS solution, green the GPS solution, and blue the GNSS solution. And we distinguished between the East, North and Up component as Up is typically the worst component.
The bar plot nicely demonstrates that the GNSS solution (blue) is significantly better then the GPS solution (green), in the East and North directions almost by a factor of two. This is despite the fact that the GLONASS only solution (red) does not perform very well. The quality of the kinematic GNSS position estimates is astonishing with repeatability's of 5 mm for the horizontal and 15 mm for the vertical components.
The relatively poor performance of the GLONASS solution is caused by the fact that the GLONASS constellation is not complete. Does during the 24 hour period we used for this experiment there is a period where there are less than 4 satellites in view, this severely impacts the quality of the GLONASS only solution but has no negative effect at all on the GNSS solution. This highlights another benefit of GNSS solutions; the larger number of satellites leads to much more reliable and robust estimates. This explains the main reason why especially surveyors and the offshore industry are fully "addicted" to GNSS. Besides being better it is much more robust and reliable.
Last but not least the picture above shows the 30 second position estimates of the GNSS solution. A repeatability of 5 mm for the horizontal and 15 mm for the vertical components for fully kinematic position estimates is quite impressive, is it not!? So regarding the question "to GPS or to GNSS" the answer is a clear GNSS.

The idea of a rock concert was brand new in 1957, and it was announced that several popular rock 'n roll stars were going to be performing at the outdoor theater at Barber's Point. The idea of several musical stars on stage at the same time was so exciting to me, I couldn't wait for the date of the concert.
On the day of the performances my Mom and siblings all headed toward the outdoor theater. Bob had to work and was unable to come. We were there early and since it was first come, first serve, we managed to sit in the front row. It was a free concert with the majority of the audience being servicemen. There were a few military dependents besides us.
A local disc jockey introduced the acts, and the first singers were the Four Preps, who sang several songs including their hit song, Santa Catalina (26 Miles Across the Sea). Once the Four Preps completed their act, they came into the audience and sat with us. They weren't much older than I, so I was thrilled. I had a Brownie 8 mm movie camera and I took pictures of them interacting with all of us.
Also singing was Bobby Day, who sang his hit song Rockin' Robin and Robin Luke, a local singer who had a hit with the song Susie Darlin'. The crowd loved all of them. Finally, the stars of the show came on stage. The Everly Brothers were huge at that time and most of the crowd received them enthusiastically. But quite a few sailors got up and walked out while the duo was performing. It was distracting and I felt bad for the Everly Brothers.
Overall the concert was a huge hit and everyone went home feeling great. It was my first rock concert and I loved it!

A few days ago, my husband came home with my favorite cookies- Trader Joe's Vegan Chocolate Chip. If anyone of you have tried it out there then you know they're pretty awesome. Without even trying I can eat this whole bag of 12 cookies in 36 hours or less.
I'm a little bit of a health nut so you know I had to tell myself some lie to make downing 12 chocolate cookies in a matter of hours okay.
Why Lie?
It's easy for us to buy into the myths we tell ourselves especially when it does at least one of these three things
a. Minimizes our feeling of inadequacy or helplessness
b. Puts the blame on anything/anyone but ourselves
c. Makes us look more amazing than we really are
Myths are our way of making sense of stuff that we either don't want to know the truth about or are ignorant to the truth of. So what's that got to do with long hair?
The Long Hair Gene
I was sent an email in December 2014 that totally changed the way I approach talking about long hair and black women.
This email along with some other conversations with black women later that month who had similar questions uncovered one of the biggest myths about black hair:
Mixed Blood = Long Hair
We easily accept this myth as truth because:
- We don't know any better.
- We need an explanation for why it never just happened for us.
- We've tried all we could and never attained length.
- All our sisters and aunties never had long hair.

IDO Dance World Cups in the Olympic Hall in Seoul, Korea are history now…
The first IDO Closed and Open IDO-Asia / Asia-Pacific Conferences in the Hotel Olympic Parktel and the 1. IDO Dance World Cups in the Olympic Hall in Seoul, Korea are history now.
You have been a gracious host, to have invited dancers, supporters, teachers, choreographers, officials to join the first "open" IDO Asia / Asia-Pacific Conference with 16 countries participating:
Argentine, Australia, Chinese Taipei, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Korea, Macao SAR, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Singapore, USA
Together with the big success of the IDO Dance World Cup you have made a wonderful and very professional promotion for the City of Seoul and your country.
The dancers from Czech Republic, Poland, Australia, USA, Taiwan, Macao, Hong Kong and Korea and the many supporters – especially from Australia, have felt very comfortable and loved to have competed last weekend. It was a great experience for all – and they loved it!
The dancers were on highest level wth great talent and hard working people to achieve their goals in dance. It was enjoyable to watch but very difficult to judged by the many judges from so many different countries from 3 continents.
Everybody haveing participated will be great Ambassadors for your great and exciting city!
Please now go on, use the success to develop this kind of excellent international dance competitions in Korea by inviting the Asian neighbours and some oversee dancers. This will grow now.
On behalf of the IDO, my colleagues in the presidium and all the federations let me thank you again and please forward this big respect and Thank You also to Mr. Choi and your great, very professional and charming staff!
Best regards and looking forward to see you again soon!

Back in February we ran an event to explore the possibility of extending access to the CCM Tools beyond RLUK member libraries: to those who do not contribute their library catalogue data to Copac. In response to a call for interest, a small group of 11 intrepid and keen institutions were represented as we got together in the welcoming environment of SOAS Library in London. Participants were given an introduction to the Tools which was followed by a discussion about their likely requirements and potential ideas for making use of them.
The consensus at the event was that our volunteers hoped to find the Tools useful despite the fact that their own library catalogue data is not currently part of the Copac database.There were many parallels between the requirements of this pilot group and our existing users, who face many of the same issues about space pressures,benchmarking collections and identifying unique and special material.
"… we could …. use it especially to help with our weeding projects, when we need to make tough decisions… and the possibility of discovering some of our books or collections are not as rare or unique as we may have previously believed."
Aniska Kumra, Goldsmith's University of London
Since February our pilot group have been experimenting with the CCM Tools: we do appreciate the precious time this has required when there are so many other demands on library staff time. It seemed now was a good time to catch up with some of them to find out how they have been getting on. We got some really positive feedback about the value perceived in the Tools: several colleagues had specific projects planned or in progress already:
"We [have] made a start on significance assessment of parts of our very new special collections using CCM Tools to gather data……….We might extend the CCM Tools brief to our Artists' Books collection……"
Jane Daniels, Cardiff Metropolitan University
"We have a significant amount of uncatalogued donations and special collections material I'd like to investigate with the tool to hopefully gather data on how rare or unique (in terms of holdings) some of this material might be. From data gathered, we'll hopefully be able to make informed decisions on whether to retain items or not, and if findings can be demonstrated using graphs, it's likely to have more impact on the decision-making process."
Sandra Cockburn, Oxford Brookes University
"… we have over 2,000 shelves of books in our external store, as part of assessing what we should continue to hold, [it] will be very helpful to run these against COPAC holdings – we may have rare items we need to hold on to?"
Jo Atkins, University of Leicester
"Potential use cases we are keen to try … are:
Map items we have identified for potential withdrawal …to help inform us on potential disposal or retention decisions.
Use CCM to identify most widely held texts in particular subject areas and then match that against our own holdings to identify potential gaps and weaknesses (we'd be interested to see if we could do this with any areas where 'library resources' scores had been lower in last year's NSS).
…using CCM to identify core collections of texts when we hear of new courses or research areas incoming to the University…"
Mark Hughes, Swansea University
In addition we got some valuable feedback about suggestions for enhancements, particularly in relation to increasing the scope of available data on Copac: reflecting the diverse needs of the pilot group:
"The bigger questions….[it] would be a really valuable tool if COPAC holdings extended to SCONUL Libraries generally, [which] would allow us to look at holdings within regions and locally."
Jo Atkins, University of Leicester
"… we'd like to see the scope extended, and like to be able to run data against both regional groupings….. or custom groupings of our own (e.g. against our self-identified peer set of institutions). There would be tremendous value in being able to drill down to do comparisons against groupings like this and we think that would expand the use cases we'd see for CCM by enabling us to do different things."
Mark Hughes, Swansea University
Thanks to all our pilot participants. We are in the process of building up an evidence base to support extending access to CCM Tools and the feedback we get from them is key to this process.
Keep an eye on this blog for more information later in the summer.

I love fantasy and sic fi, but the more pop versions of it. I'm not ashamed to say (well maybe I am mildly) that I read all four Twilight novels in a week, I cried when Dumbledore died and I had a literary crush on Prince Caspian from Narnia when I was younger...
But I also proudly assert that I loved the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and the Narnia series long before they were movies!
It seemed so easy to find books to read when I was younger, thanks to prolific writers like Blyton. I really wanted my own Wishing Chair and a Faraway tree in my back yard.
These days I find it harder to find long series I love. Adult fiction sometimes gets too serious, or is just fluff. I like to escape into my novels. So this series is perfect for that. It's the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.
The Eyre Affair is the first in the series based around the adventures of Thursday Next, a literary detective. It is set in a fictional version of the UK, being a parallel universe where things are slightly different to our own. Not only does Thursday fight literature related crime in the Real World, but there is also a whole world inside books too. Thursday gets entangled with the policing department, Jursifiction, inside the Book World as well as her life in the Real World.
I just love that idea! Who would love to be able to read themselves into a book and actually meet the written characters. It's fun and clever, and I love Fforde's creativity through this whole series. Thursday is a tough, gutsy female character but really relatable too. It references a lot of books, both popular and classics, so you'll get it more if you're familiar with them but its not essential.
I have the first 5 books of the series in paper copy, but I bought the latest two novels to read in the Kindle App on my iPad. I still love having the real hardcopies of books. There's just something about them that digital can't replace. But when a large proportion of my day is spent holding a baby, ebooks are much easier.
Sometimes I lie down with The Bubs to feed and fall asleep, and I'll often read then if I don't nap too. One day I took a paper book with me to read. It was only after I lay down in a darkened room that I realised that I wouldn't be able to read it - obviously paper doesn't emit light like an iPad screen. Yet. I'm sure one day they'll invent that.
Until then, ebooks are handy for one handed and dark situations.
So if your looking for a fun series, give Thursday Next a go.

The first impression of the Sopra N1 is that of an attractive and supremely well finished loudspeaker. Beyond this attractive first impression, what's astonishing is the texture and smoothness of its sound. It provides a solid, "fleshy" sound with full and articulated bass. The overall coherence and harmonic richness gives the listener a surprising understanding of the music.
Three technical innovations help to achieve this reference level of performance, the first of which is the "Neutral Inductance Circuit" or NIC. This bit of tech stabilises the magnetic field within the drive units resulting in much lower distortion effects.
The second is a "Tuned Mass Damper" to control resonance within the mid-range driver. This consists of two tubular rings on the actual driver suspension and reduces cone deformation which is a major cause of distortion.
The final part to this technological trio is "Infinite Horn Loading" for the tweeter. The Beryllium unit designed by Focal is so light and rigid the main technical limitaton of the cone is the build up of air pressure behind it inside the speaker cabinet. The solution was to build it into its own small internal cavity and then connect that to the outside world via a horn structure. This has the effect of allowing the tweter to operate as if it were mounted in a massive cavity reducing distortion by 30% and allowing maximum definition from the design.
In order to preserve as much precision as possible the matching stands are designed to direct any cabinet bourne vibrations towards the floor. The steel frame inside the floor stand, coupled with the 03⁄4" (19mm) thick glass base using four adjustable stainless steel spikes, provides very high transmission speeds. This is what guarantees an extremely sharp reproduction.
The Sopra loudspeakers are available in 5 beautiful finishes made in a custom cabinet making facility in Bourbon-Lancy as used for the ultimate Utopia series.

Your go.

Just about to prepare myself a corned beef, coleslaw and horseradish sauce sarnie.
Listening to some nice live bluegrass by Vassar Clements & friends.

Very certain I missed the point of that, first time around.

I'm vaguely underwhelmed by the Velvet Underground

I'm seriously pleased with the Sex Pistols, but catatonically raging about the Cockney Rejects
Moose the Mooche says
I lurrrve the Lurkers.

A bit like Buddy Holly – because it's raining in my heart. Hopefully the warfarin will deal to that.

minibreakfast says
Lovely Lodestone; alliteration's assential.
attackdog says
I feel good. Rockin' away to 'Who Do We Think We Are'. In particular the track 'Place in Line' – the song that convinced me at 14 yrs I should continue to play the guitar because I could play that too. True.
Fifer says
Apprehensive, as I am preparing to take my first solo holiday. On Friday I set sail for the Mediterranean for 17 nights. Definitely, apprehensive.
Lando Cakes says
A cruise? Excellent choice, sir! You'll find that the solo traveller is well catered for. I hope that you enjoy it – I'm sure you will.
ip33 says
Got the wrong bus going to pick my car up from the garage. Stuck by the roaring and frankly terrifying A23 in the rain before two lovely people stopped and gave me a lift up the road to the garage. Faith in human nature well and truly restored.
Now? In bed (early start tomorrow) watching 2001.
Moose the Mooche says
Khachaturian makes me cack meself.

I am, however, increasingly fairly cautious about Fairport Convention. And badly dealt dirty deeds, begorrah, by the Bonzos.

Billybob Dylan says
I'm gob smacked – yowling, bawling and entropic whenever I listen to God Speed! You Black Emperor.
minibreakfast says
Relaxing with Relics.
Totally true.
Moose the Mooche says
The Pink Floyd or ISB?
Either answer is acceptable.

OTTAWA — The National Energy Board's conditional approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline is just one of three major policy decisions expected over the coming months that will have huge implications on the federal government's plans to diversify Canada's energy export markets and ship oilsands crude abroad.
The Conservative government, energy industry and environmental groups are still anxiously awaiting the final U.S. environmental impact statement and decision from the Obama administration on the Keystone XL oilsands pipeline, as well as a European Union vote on the Fuel Quality Directive — decisions expected in the coming weeks and months.
"They're all critical for market access," said David McLaughlin, past chief of staff to Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and former president of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy.
"The fact they're going to come into play in 2014 really does make this a year of decision for Canada's oilsands on whether it's going to be able to beat back some of the opposition that has had years to develop on environmental and climate change concerns."
The federal government has up to six months to review the NEB panel's approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline — and its 209 conditions that went with it — before announcing its decision.
At the same time, Ottawa's attention on the oilsands file will also be directed south of the border to the Keystone XL decision and across the Atlantic for the proposed fuel law.
"Oil sands have become a major target for ENGO (environmental non-governmental organization) campaigns against fossil fuel production both in the U.S. and EU. While some criticisms have merit, others are ill-founded," say briefing notes titled "secret" and prepared for Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver.
"NRCan (Natural Resources Canada) has engaged in a communications strategy that seeks to ground the discussion around the facts of oilsands environmental impacts and Canada's regulatory response to these challenges," say the notes, obtained by Postmedia News under access to information.
The $5.4-billion TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels of oil a day, including from Alberta's oilsands and North Dakota's Bakken formation, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Many politicians and analysts on both sides of the border had expected the U.S. State Department's final environmental impact statement on the project would have been released by the end of the year. The Harper government had hoped a final decision from U.S. President Barack Obama would then be delivered in the first few months of 2014.
Much like Northern Gateway, the Keystone XL project has faced fierce criticism from environmental groups, concerned citizens and landowners about possible pipeline leaks and its potential to increase greenhouse gas emissions from the oilsands.
The Conservative government argues the pipeline is an important project for transporting Canadian oilsands bitumen to market, improving U.S. energy security, and creating thousands of jobs south of the border.
In Europe, the federal government has been heavily lobbying EU lawmakers to reject the proposed Fuel Quality Directive, which would label the Alberta oilsands — the third largest proven oil reserves in the world — a dirtier form of crude.
A vote by EU environment ministers on the proposed fuel law had been expected by potentially mid-December, but it has been delayed until 2014. A revised proposal with an impact assessment could be presented in early 2014.
The Harper government says it supports Europe's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but believes the fuel directive, as proposed, would discriminate against oilsands-derived fuels. The government worries the fuel law would stigmatize the oilsands and hurt Canada's efforts to sell the resource around the world.
"The days of pure market forces driving energy policy in this country are over," added McLaughlin. "Energy companies have to accept and embrace the fact their products are being viewed through a variety of lenses."
A recently released report commissioned by the federal and Alberta governments supported their view the FQD unfairly singles out the oilsands for discriminatory treatment.
The proposed European Union fuel law calls for a six-per-cent reduction in the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of transportation fuels by 2020.
The European Commission has recommended oilsands-derived fuel be given a greenhouse gas rating 22 per cent higher than fuel from conventional crude oil.

New Amy Winehouse Doc to Expose How Tragic Musician 'Fell Apart'
Morbid though it may be, we are drawn to tragic figures. The most captivating individuals are the ones who have suffered, who have exemplified controversial and volatile lifestyles. Amy Winehouse, as talented a singer and songwriter as she was, is remembered as a character drenched in tragedy, with her history of substance and alcohol abuse leading ultimately to her untimely death at the age of 27 in 2011. As such, we learn now via The Guardian that Asif Kapadia, a filmmaker in no way unfamiliar with tragic stories, is moving forward with a documentary about Winehouse's life.
Kapadia's most revered work to date is his 2010 doc Senna, a film about the Brazilian Formula 1 racecar driving champion Ayrton Senna, who died during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
But London-born Winehouse is also a subject of intrigue due to her insurmountable talent. The victor of six Grammys and a number of other awards for her musical output, Winehouse's creativity and passion earned her acclaim and fandom for her many years in the spotlight.
Kapadia and his producer James Gay-Rees released the following statement regarding the subject of their forthcoming documentary: "Amy was a once-in-a-generation talent who captured everyone's attention. She wrote and sung from the heart and everyone fell under her spell. But tragically Amy seemed to fall apart under the relentless media attention, her troubled relationships, her global success and precarious lifestyle."

Staff reserves the right to lockdown accounts of which they suspect being multies. In this case, contact us via:

Attacking other players & family's
Vandettacrime originally was created with the idea of being a peaceful place in which players could build up their characters without the fear of getting beaten up to often. But in the past few years, staff did try to get attacking others more involved, but, instead of getting more involved, it more and more got the way of living. This never was the idea of the game. But, now, we even feel the need to say, that with the limitations we did put back upon attacking, we also apply rules upon them now:
1. Only attack players who is inactive for several weeks or months, we have at least 500 players which are inactive these days.
2. don't login onto someone else's account to finish the job, the rules regarding multies apply.
more rules will be created as we see the need.

Creative Food Ingredients was founded in the mid 1990's by the father and son team of William and Michael O'Flaherty, another family with a long history of involvement in the food industry.
Baked ingredient products were the prime concentration for CFI, and growth quickly came given the company's commitment and focus on quality and a highly specialized group of products.
Following CFI's introduction to the Serventi family, the manufacturing of our products began at the Lincoln Avenue location in the late 1990's. As we ventured into the year 2000, circumstances and the desire for new challenges set in, and the Serventi family divested of their interest in the bakery operation.
CFI continued to work with the new owners through the next few years to ensure that our products were made to the same high standards expected by our clients. Eventually in 2005, the O'Flaherty family took advantage of a market opportunity and became a full fledged manufacturer by acquiring the assets of the Lincoln Avenue location.
Today, we are extremely happy to employ over 200 team members operating seven continuous band ovens in three different buildings, making several of the same products that we did at the very beginning of our journey.

A Facebook friend said it best: "I think now I have met the Antichrist and seen his evil works. Satan has disguised himself as Christians in Humboldt County."
And he's right.
Do these people really believe that it pleases Jesus to pray for the death of unborn children in the womb? Or, are they just plain-out bat shit crazy? The story follows…
Life News: A local Planned Parenthood abortion business in California is copycatting the 40 Days for Life campaign, which recently resulted in saving the lives of more than 700 unborn children from abortion. The abortion business has set up its own 40 Days of Prayer for the local abortion center.
"We trust you to decide about your sexuality, having your children, and planning your family," says a flier promoting the Humbolt County Clergy for Choice event. "We are religious leaders who value all human life. We accept that religions differ about when life begins. We are here to help."
"We believe that human life is holy. That's why we believe in your right to choose to be a parent or not," the pro-abortion religious leaders continue. "It can be helpful to talk with friends you trust, with licensed counselors, and with whatever religious person you choose. Humboldt County Clergy are available to talk with you about the spiritual aspects of choice. Find out more by calling Six Rivers Planned Parenthood."
"Humboldt County Clergy for Choice invite you to set aside time with your family and community to support women and reproductive justice for 40 days from March 18th through April 27th," they say.

CAA Cymru got in touch with us here at #MamCymruHQ to invite us to take a look at their new and original series of Welsh books for children aged 7 – 11, and I must say that we're impressed!
Cyfres Halibalŵ is a brand new series of books which contains 6 individual novels full of humour, for young readers. I must congratulate CAA Cymru for choosing some cracking authors too, each having lived with or had a lot of experience of working with this target audience, and therefore a great understanding of their ever-growing needs and demands and their sometimes 'strange' sense of humour; Gwenno Mair Davies, Gwennan Evans, Mari Lovgreen, Dafydd Llewelyn, Anni Llŷn and Eurig Salisbury.
As a parent to an increasingly fussy 6 year old daughter, I'm aware that books need to be full of humour and also full of colorful artwork, in order to keep her interested and develop a love of reading and books. When I showed these books to Elsi for the first time her reaction was really positive, she loved the covers and was flicking through the pages instantly before pleading with me "Please can we read these books now Mami". I was convinced that this was another one of her clever little tactics to try and tempt me to let her stay up late, but I was wrong, Elsi really did want me to read the books. She chose 'Syniadau Slei' (Sly Ideas) by Mari Lovgreen first of all "because the characters on the cover look really funny".
This is a story about cousins Wil and Dot, they both live in nearby farms but they are two very different people, like most 10 year old boys and girls! They do have one common interest, they love playing tricks on adults! Like David Walliams, Mari Lovgreen has a great understanding of children's sense of humour, the idea of tricking any grandmother with a sheep poo sausage is sure to make any child (and adult) laugh isn't it?! Elsi couldn't stop herself from acting out the scenes with all the awful tricks this terrible twosome get up to. The only worry I have is that she's picked up some tricks and tips! If she comes anywhere near me with a wriggly worm I'll be blaming Mari Lovgreen!
As a parent, it was obvious from the outset that another parent had written this book, Mari has succeeded 100% to portray the reality of raising children in rural Wales; snotty, fun loving, mischievous and inquisitive children who love being outdoors amongst the bugs and spiders and constantly covered in mud from head to toe! Although I am a fan of Welsh adaptations, when they've been done right, I do believe that children in Wales will be able to relate better to the characters and scenes in original Welsh books like these, Elsi was so excited when the books mentioned places she'd visited like Llanrug and the Eisteddfod!
We've also read Teulu Tŷ Bach (The Small House Family) by Eurig Salisbury, this is very different to Mari's book and conveys the fact that the series is extremely varied in terms of style and content. Unusually, the characters in this book are a husband and wife, Blodwen and Cleif and their dog Sam. During the story we get a glimpse of their life in the small house where they live as well as a taste of their own strange and wild adventures.
I must congratulate Eurig for thinking outside the box, and choosing adults rather than children as the focus for his story. This book is a clever combination of humour, adventure and more mature tales than we usually see in books for this target audience, and I welcome this. Elsi loved the story between the dog and his main enemy, the cat next door! She was also intrigued about Cleif's finger which was pickled in a jar in the kitchen cupboard! The unusual ending to the pickled finger story also developed into a nonstop chain of questions for the next few days! Thanks Eurig!
There's no doubt that this series will appeal to girls and boys. The large print and short chapters make them appealing for the target age too, I believe that 7+ is the perfect audience. I think that confident readers aged 10 – 11 would find these books too easy, but they would also enjoy them as they are very funny and include strong characters.
CAA Cymru has also developed some brilliant and useful resources to support the books and promote literacy skills. These are perfect for schools and for parents, especially as the days get shorter and as we face more wet weather – oh the joys! These resources are available for free on the HWB website.
To summarize, did I like them? Yes! This is a great new series full of fun and imagination which will both challenge and excite young readers from all corners of Wales.
Having launched the Halibalŵ Series with school pupils in Carno, Llanbrynmair and Glantwymyn on the 7th of November, the books are now available on the CAA Cymru website and also at your local bookshop for only £4.99 each! They will make perfect Christmas stocking fillers too, and what's more, they don't need batteries and there's no building involved! What's not to like?!
A huge congratulations to all the authors, illustrators and CAA Cymru.
By Heulwen Davies, Mam Cymru.

Anyone who suffers from severe heartburn knows how painful and discomforting the symptoms can be. Burning pains rising up the esophagus from the stomach, a feeling of a hole being burned in the center of the body, bloating, belching, difficulty lying down to sleep and a wide array of aches and pains impact a person's daily life and well-being. Below are several inexpensive remedies available on grocery store shelves to cure heartburn fast and bring almost instant relief.
Step 1
Eat an apple, or even just a slice or two. Experts at Earth Clinic recommend eating sweet apples for relief of heartburn symptoms. The old adage, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" applies today as much as ever.
Step 2
Drink organic apple cider vinegar for immediate relief of heartburn, also recommended by Earth Clinic and Dr. Theodore Baroody in his book, "Alkalize or Die." The apple cider vinegar can be taken in one of several ways.
Take it straight in a spoon if you like the taste. If that is too strong, mix 1 to 2 tsp. in 8 oz. water and drink the entire glass for heartburn relief. If it bothers you start with ½ tsp. mixed in water. If you really don't like the sour taste, mix 1 tsp. of organic, raw honey in the water mixture.
Step 3
Take 1 or 2 tsp. full of organic raw honey straight, for acid reflux pain relief. Again, Dr. Baroody is a strong advocate of using foods high in potassium to help alkalinize the body by creating an alkaline-forming state. Honey stimulates the digestive juices helping to produce not only the main digestive juice, hydrochloric acid (HCL), but also bicarbonate created in the pancreas. Together these balance the system creating a more alkaline state where acid-forming foods are neutralized.
Step 4
Drink bicarbonate of soda, also known as baking soda, mixed with water for fast relief from burning pains of gastroesophageal reflex disease. The Drugs website suggests taking ½ tsp. baking soda in an 8 oz. glass of water every two hours and sipping it slowly to reduce heartburn pain and bloating immediately. A doctor may advise differently on dosage. Baking soda can raise the blood pressure so those with hypertension should be cautious.
Things You'll Need
Baking soda
Organic apple cider vinegar
Organic raw honey
Try one or all of the above natural remedies for fast pain relief from heartburn.

Here's Another Study About Why Millennials Are Terrible at Taking Vacation (Video)
Millennials are neglecting to take vacation days for fear of falling behind at work, according to a survey from LinkedIn.
More than half (56 percent) of all the survey respondents of all ages said the top reason for letting vacation days fall by the wayside is a fear of things piling up at work while away. About 70 percent of respondents said that even when they feel like they need a vacation, they won't take the days.
But the fear is even more potent for Millennials. Of the Millennial responders, 16 percent said they didn't ask for days off because they were too nervous to ask. The results of the survey are not exactly surprising. Last year, a similar survey precisized that Millennial women were the least likely in the workplace to ask for time off "due to an overwhelming amount of reported guilt, fear, and work martyr habits."
But that fear may actually be a paradox. According to Project Time Off (an initiative by the U.S. Travel Association), frequent travelers "report a higher likelihood of receiving a raise, bonus, or both than homebodies." Those who didn't take vacation days were five percentage points less likely to report a raise or a bonus in the last few years.
"You're not alone if you feel guilty before asking for time off or shutting down your email on the beach, but you should ask," Blair Decembrele, a director and career expert at LinkedIn, told Fortune. "It's important for your well-being, and we often hear that taking time off makes people more productive when they come back."
But to reap the maximum benefits of vacation, be sure to establish a communication strategy with coworkers before leaving. LinkedIn recommends establishing an OOO (out of office) point of contact to handle pressing issues in your absence and letting colleagues know how often you'll be checking messages (if at all).

If you've invested time and money in playlists and a subscription, it makes sense to learn some of the lesser known functions and quirks that the Spotify client has to offer. There's no denying the platform is intuitive and easy to use, but you'd be forgiven for missing some of the more advanced features.
Here are some of the less-obvious things you can do to make your time with Spotify even better.
Organize Playlists With Folders
This might be obvious to some, but playlists can be organised into folders to keep them tidy. This can be especially useful to organize by genre, era or to keep all your artist-specific or soundtrack playlists in one tidy location.
Create a new playlist folder using the New Playlist Folder option in the File menu, or by using the Ctrl+Shift+N, or Cmd+Shift+N on the Mac version. If you've got a ton of playlists you'd like better organised then playlist folders are the answer.
Use Advanced Search Parameters
One of the lesser-known powerful features found in Spotify's repertoire, advanced search parameters can be used to search by genre, label and more simply by using search parameters. You can use the following commands to perform specific searches:
- Genre e.g. "genre:rock in your honor" searches for "in your honor" in "rock" only. For a full list of genres, see Spotify Gateway. You can also just search for a genre in general, e.g. "genre:ambientbreakbeat" for a list of ambient breakbeat tracks.
- Title e.g. "title:in your honor" searches for "in your honor" in titles only. This does not include album titles or artist names, only song titles.
- Artist e.g. "artist:foo fighters" for "foo fighters" in artist names only.
- Album e.g. "album:there is nothing left to lose" for "there is nothing left to lose" in album titles only.
- Year e.g. "year:2005 in your honor" searches for "in your honor" releases from 2005 (matches all fields). Can also be used to specify a range, e.g. "year:1990-1995 oasis" for Oasis releases between 1990 and 1995.
- Label e.g. "label:ninja-tune" to find artists on the Ninja Tune label. The dash appears to be necessary for all spaces, e.g. "hospital-records" but partial matches also work like "roadrunner" for Roadrunner Records.
Update Your Local Music Tags
Spotify uses Gracenote, a database of music with more than 130 million tracks under its wing. Under the Library > Local list of tunes you can select as many tracks as you'd like then right click (Control-click or two-finger click on Mac) and choose Update info from Gracenote to ensure your tags are correctly organised.
Specify A Time When Sharing Tracks
The sharing aspect is one of the best parts of Spotify, and that's what makes Facebook integration so useful. While sharing via HTTP link and Spotify URI is all good and well, it is also possible to specify a time from which the shared track should play.
In order to do this, simply add #<time> to the end of the link. So in order to link to the 3 minute 10 second mark in this track the Spotify URI would look like:
For HTTP links the same trick will work, and the same song would look like:
Master Keyboard Shortcuts
There are an exhaustive number of keyboard shortcuts that any Spotify power-user will want to master, and these range from the basic Ctrl/Cmd+N for a new playlist and Ctrl/Cmd+C for copying tracks to Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Down to mute the client and Ctrl/Cmd+G to show individual artwork next to each track.
You can see the full list above, or alternatively bookmark or share this page for future reference.
View Popular Tracks
The Top Lists option in the sidebar shows you the top tracks and albums in your locale by default. In addition to being able to view what's popular in the entire world or by other region you can also change this to show artists and your own personal top 20 albums and tracks.
Simply click the drop down next to each column to choose between artists, albums and tracks as well as global, national or your own personal top tracks. The list appears to be reset every week, but it makes for a nice short-term use of your listening data.
Drag More
Dragging a track from Spotify into an instant messaging window or body of an email will provide you with a nice HTTP link (not a Spotify URI) which your friends can click and use to listen. You can also drag tracks from the main Spotify listing on tracks straight onto the friends column on the right in order to share.
This works with playlists too. If you're after a quick playlist choose some tracks with the Ctrl or Cmd button (you can use Shift to specify a range of tracks too) then drag them onto the New Playlist button – bam, instant playlist creation!
If you've paid for it, and your Internet connection can handle it, then you will probably want to enable high quality streaming from the Preferences (Ctrl/Cmd+P) panel under Playback. This panel also includes options to enable the crossfader, which will mix your tracks – albeit roughly – together.
One last thing that I disabled from the word go was the Hide Unplayable Tracks option which is on by default. This shows unplayable (due to any reason) tracks as greyed out selections, and is useful when you're wondering whether something has disappeared or are deciding just how restrictive certain regions can be.
Hopefully these tips will help you get that little bit more out of Spotify, if you've got any favourites or ones we haven't mentioned here then be sure to share in the comments below!

Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a Model List of Essential In Vitro Diagnostics. The list contains approximately 115 lab tests that the WHO believes should be provided under every health care system. Because testing varies so greatly from country to country, experts hope this list will help standardize how diagnoses are made across the globe.
Late and inaccurate diagnoses can lead to serious complications and increased health costs. Some of these complications can arise from doctors prescribing antibiotics or other drugs without diagnoses which can also contribute to antimicrobial resistance.
Many of the tests on the list focus on high priority diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, Hep B, Hep C, HPV and syphilis. There are also 58 tests that can detect a wide range of common conditions from urine and blood samples.
Since developing countries often do not have the resources to accurately diagnose patients, the panelists who created the list hope it eventually drives down costs of equipment and facilities, the way that the WHO list of essential medicines ultimately did years ago.
