First, I must say that here at Forget Computers, we really dislike QuickBooks for Mac and recommend it be avoided at all costs. It's a poor application with poor customer support from Intuit. QuickBooks Online is our preferred solution (and even QuickBooks for Windows is preferred over the Mac version).
If you still feel the need to run QuickBooks for Mac and you want to use the multiple user capability, you must know that this feature requires the QuickBooks Server app in addition to multiple licenses of QuickBooks. This app enables multiple users and handles the local backup of the QuickBooks database. (It's very important to backup QuickBooks locally, and then backup the backup). Contrary to the name, the QuickBooks Server app is not required to run on a server, and can be run from ANY Mac that has QuickBooks installed and access to the QuickBooks data file. You'll need access to this app often because when this app is running users can not change preferences or even run reports! <lame>

Don't be traumatized there may be another helpful Windows work running in your PC or Server that you do not want. You do not curb hacking but next to these services and Operating Systems patches up to date, it is harder for hackers to creep into into your systems.
I have conducted Security Assessment for a figure of companies' servers and have determined work such as FTP, IIS, SMTP, SQL running in their servers that the administrators are not sensible of.
The plan of pollex is assure your server or PC is patched up to twenty-four hours and pointless work disabled. If within is monetary fund to spare, drop in a prestigious IPS (Intrusion Prevention Systems) to expression the drive.Post ads:

Living with Footballers
One disastrous day the hairdryers broke down. Filming was delayed for hours. In footy parlance, it was the equivalent of a ruptured cruciate ligament. For in the television world of AFL women, good grooming is as important as good knees are to their husbands.
Tucked into the very masculine schedule of Foxtel's Footy Channel is a gem of a show, a rose among the thorns, as it were. Living with Footballers features a panel of wives, girlfriends and one daughter of AFL players giving their five cents' worth on the game. But while they're glamorous, this is not serious handbag territory - these girls (as they all refer to themselves) are about having fun on air and not taking anything terribly seriously, least of all themselves.
Crowded around their small desk at Foxtel's Southbank television studio last week, Lisa-Marie Lloyd (wife of champion Essendon full-forward Matthew), Ali Carle (fiancee of Adelaide ruckman Matthew Clarke), Eloise Southby (daughter of former champion Carlton full-back Geoff) and Ligita Wakelin (wife of key Collingwood defender Shane) are busy tucking microphones into cleavage and putting the final touches on questions prepared for the week's guest, Port Adelaide captain Matthew Primus.
Southby, the wag of the group, in an earlier production meeting is keen to ask him why Port always loses big finals. "You can ask him that," says supervising producer Deb Stewart. "Just don't make it your first question."
Southby is more diplomatic in the studio, couching her question along the lines "Is the team hoping to improve its finals record this year?" But the girls' interest is more focused on if he's planning on popping the question to girlfriend Melissa, the off-season trip to Hawaii and his recent home renovations. It's Footy Show goes lifestyle.
Entering its third year, the show was born "because we knew we wanted a female presence on the channel", explains Stewart.
She sees her program as offering a window into a different aspect of footballers' lives in an entertaining, light-hearted manner. A tribute to Robert Harvey, winner of the medal for best on ground in the pre-season grand final, is postscripted "one more for (wife) Danielle to dust". The sexual politics may offend some, but the show's stars couldn't care less.
Rather than talking team tactics the women talk about meals, emotions, children and romance. They are unlikely to delve into the hot topic of the day, sex allegations against two St Kilda players, for example, last week were considered a no-go area by most in the dressing room. The program is well aware of its niche and unlikely to stray far from it, says Stewart.
"We're not a news or a current affairs show, there are other shows that deal with those sorts of issues and deal with them very well," she says.
Yet while her co-presenters diplomatically steer clear of discussion about the recent allegations, in the studio Carle asks Primus what, in light of the St Kilda situation, is his club doing to guide its younger players?
"I know that people can write this show off as being a little fluff piece and we are handbags and I think it's important that we're seen not (to be)," she says afterwards.
"We do pick up a lot about the game and we do take an interest just like anyone will take an interest in what their partner is doing - say they're a plumber, a doctor or a brain surgeon, you're going to take an interest in that field. Well, we take an interest in footy. You definitely should know about that sort of stuff and we definitely do know about it and I think it's great to talk about it."
Like all the panellist slots, the host role rotates each week. It is Carle's turn in the chair the day we visit and she performs well, reading the autocue professionally and ad-libbing from one segment to the next.
Carle, like the others, admits to being nervous to begin with - "I thought I was going to vomit the first time," confides Wakelin - but now loves the experience. Yet it is a curious fact that while all four love sport and being on the show, Lisa Marie Lloyd is the only one with Foxtel connected at home. The rest watch themselves on video tapes provided by network.
To Carle the show is fun, a chance to catch up with girls from other clubs and an opportunity to "get my makeup done once in a while; it's exciting". She sees the irony, however, in being part of a show in which the women look uniformly gorgeous yet hates being dismissed as just glamorous footy chicks.
"Nothing irritates me more. I've been to university, I've got an honours degree. We've all done a lot of stuff in our lives but just because we've happened to have fallen in love with a sports star doesn't mean that what we've done is any less worthy," Carle says.
"I see this as a really good way to show we are not Barbie dolls and we do think about football and other aspects of life relating to football. It's not all foundation and lippy and looking glam. It's 'Who's going to pick up the kids. Who's going to do the washing?'"
Interestingly, while members of the public and media might have a perception of football partners' as starstruck and perhaps as "predators", Stewart says most of those who have appeared on the show met their fellas incidentally. In many cases the women initially had no idea who the men were or what they did.
Partners of all AFL players are welcome to have a shot at being a panellist, as are players to appear as guests. Stewart's main concern is to be careful not to offend tribal sensibilities, doing her best to make sure the panellists and guests are as representative of the 16 clubs as possible. Beyond that, everyone is welcome.
Wayne Carey?
"Yes, certainly, why not? There isn't anybody I wouldn't have on this show."
Living with Footballers screens on Thursdays at 9.30pm on The Footy Channel.

Robyn Baker developed anorexia when she was 17 years old and was hospitalized at the age of 18. At 27, Robyn entered in patient treatment for a second time and began a difficult but authentic path of honest recovery. The hardest part for her had been finding a way to maintain a healthy and recovery-centered relationship with exercise. After many slip-ups and minor relapses, Robyn created a wellness method that utilizes mindfulness techniques, meditation and intense self-inquiry practices called Intuitive Exercise. From this she was inspired to open Asteya Fitness, a body positive and recovery-centered studio as a way to honor her past while teaching others her healing method of Intuitive Exercise. Robyn wanted to create a space to move and exercise where body-shaming would not be tolerated and the joy of moving in unique bodies would be celebrated.
Now, in connection with her past struggles with body image and anorexia, Robyn gives back in her community by hosting monthly Yoga and Body Image Workshops at her studio, Asteya Fitness in Costa Mesa, CA. All classes are donation based and 100% of the proceeds go to the Yoga and Body Image Coalition. In these workshops she discusses a section from the book, Yoga and Body Image, as well as incorporating a gentle asana practice. Robyn also hosts Embody Love Workshops which are transformational workshops where girls and women address issues on body-shaming, body image and self worth.
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today, Robyn works and plays in Orange County, California with her children, husband and two crazy cats. She is a community member of the Yoga and Body Image Coalition, a contributor to the mental health website, The Libero Network and an activist working to stop "fitspiration". She remains committed to her recovery and hopes to bring the method of Intuitive Exercise to all who struggle with exercise addiction and body image to find a healthy relationship with exercise in their eating disorder recovery.

Donald W. Goodwin, M.D. (in memorium)
Sentiments by Samuel B. Guze, MD of Washington University about Dr. Goodwin:
"Dr. Goodwin graduated from Baker University in Kansas in 1953. He received his MD degree in 1964 from the University of Kansas. After medical school, he served as a resident in psychiatry at Washington University in St Louis, MO, and remained there as a member of the faculty until 1976, when he moved back to the University of Kansas. He served in the US Army during the Korean War and worked as a newspaperman in New York City before deciding to return to Kansas for premedical courses and then medical school.
Dr. Goodwin's career was noteworthy for combining his considerable skill as a writer and his interest in psychiatric research with a particular focus on alcoholism. He was a pioneer in the study of the genetics of alcoholism, beginning his work when he developed a collaborative effort between colleagues at Washington University and at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. The latter group had acquired a roster of adoptees in Copenhagen and Denmark and worked with colleagues at Washington University, headed by Dr. Goodwin, to carry out extensive follow-up and family studies. Their results, clearly indicating a hereditary predisposition to alcoholism, have since been confirmed many times over the world. Dr. Goodwin authored many books and scientific articles. He received numerous awards and international recognition, especially for his aforementioned work in alcoholism.
Dr. Goodwin had a lifelong interest in writing and literature, and he was a marvelous raconteur. He had a contagious sense of humor and loved to converse with a wide range of friends and acquaintances over a broad range of subjects, including biographies of writers, history, politics, and the future of psychiatry. …"
We appreciate so much Dr. Guze's illuminating remarks regarding our dear friend, Donald. We at NAF will forever be grateful to Donald for his great help to us in our founding years. Stephen Cox M.D.
Donald F. Klein, M.D., D.Sc.
Senior Scientific Advisor, Child Mind Institute
Donald Klein, MD, DSc, has been a dominant figure in the field of treatment science and a prime mover in the improvement of diagnosis and our understanding of psychiatric illness for over half a century. His pioneering work applying both psychological and pharmaceutical approaches to therapy has become standard procedure in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and chronic emotional distress. Dr. Klein is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, former director of research at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, a research psychiatrist at the Nathan Kline Institute of Psychiatric Research, and a Senior Scientific Advisor at the Child Mind Institute.
As Senior Scientific Advisor at the Child Mind Institute, Dr. Klein works with Michael P. Milham, MD, PhD, the Director of the Center for the Developing Brain on establishing a research strategic plan. Dr. Klein also works with Child Mind Institute clinicians to evaluate the effectiveness of their new and innovative treatments and ability to take them to a national scale.
Dr. Klein entered medical training in 1952 with the intention of becoming a psychoanalyst, but soon became particularly interested in the burgeoning field of psychopharmacology. This interest bloomed into an influential clinical and research career that has shaped our understanding and treatment of childhood anxiety and hyperactivity (ADHD), adult and childhood asocial schizophrenia, unipolar and bipolar depression, and social phobia. Dr. Klein's 1960 discovery that the drug imipramine had an anti-panic effect not only led to helpful treatments—it eventually defined a disorder and introduced the concept of the biological bases of psychiatric illness.
Dr. Klein was a leading contributor to the third addition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) in 1980, which ushered in the age of modern psychiatry. He co-authored the first textbook of clinical psychopharmacology, Diagnosis and Drug Treatment in Psychiatric Disorders. His many editorial assignments include extensive experience with the Archives of General Psychiatry, and he has sat on the editorial board of 10 peer review journals. Dr. Klein has also made informing the general public of advances in psychiatric treatment one of his priorities. Of his 19 books, two are specifically aimed at educating readers about biopsychiatry, psychotherapy, and depression: Mind, Mood and Medicine: A Guide to the New Biopsychiatry and Understanding Depression.

David Sinclair, Ph.D. (in memorium)
The National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland;
The late (2015) David Sinclair, PhD, began research on the causes of excessive alcohol drinking as a University of Cincinnati undergraduate. Among his discoveries was the Alcohol Deprivation Effect (ADE)—now widely recognized by addiction medicine as central to explaining why the vast majority of alcoholics relapse after traditional abstinence-based treatments. In other words, weeks of forced abstinence—as used in conventional detoxification and detention treatments—instead of being beneficial, actually increase alcohol craving. After getting his doctorate in 1972 from the University of Oregon on the ADE, Dr. Sinclair immediately went to Helsinki to work at Alko Laboratories (now part of Finland's National Public Health Institute)—probably the best place in the world for finding a better treatment for alcoholism.
His solution, pharmacological extinction, became apparent only after he wrote The Rest Principle: A Neurophysiological Theory of Behavior, a book showing how the nervous system strengthens behaviors that stop hunger, thirst, pain, or release endorphins, and extinguishes behaviors that no longer produce reinforcement. He subsequently worked on the clinical trials proving the concept and practical implementation of the treatment in patients. He was researching extensions of the treatment for alcoholism to other addictions, and on a new treatment for panic disorders when he was taken from us.
We lost our dear friend in 2015. He was an irreplaceable giant.

The intensity of pain may differ from person to person. The pain may be a sudden attack or take a chronic form. in acute form, the pain starts suddenly. In chronic form, the pain may last for 3-4 months. It is very common problem in pregnant women as the ligaments around the uterus stretches.
About 90% of backache patients suffer from cervical and lumbar spondylosis . It is a degenerative disorder in which the different vertebrae adhere to each other through body unions. As a result, the spine loses its flexibility.

text: A prehistoric hill fort, perched precariously on a 100m cliff over the harsh Atlantic Ocean... one of Ireland's most ancient features, estimated to be more than 3000 years old... Standing in Dún Aonghasa (the fort of Aonghas, in Irish), is a little like teetering on the edge of the world. And as the strong sea winds blow around you and the waves crash below, you'll feel at one with the heartbeat of Celtic Ireland. the most magnificent barbaric monument extant in Europe George Petrie, 19th century Irish archeologist Like any good fortress, Dún Aonghasa keeps its secrets. No one knows who Aonghas was – maybe a displaced noble from east of the River Shannon, or a 5th century king of Cashel in County Tipperary. And the purpose of the rock platform that sits dramatically at the cliff edge remains a mystery. But that just adds to the appeal of this magical place. As you wander the ruins, it's best to let your imagination soar... Inis Mór Dún Aonghasa is located on Inis Mór (Inishmore), the largest of the three Aran Islands – the name actually means 'big island' in the Irish language. The island's main hub is the village of Kilronan, where ferries from Clare and Galway arrive several times a day. While Dún Aonghasa is its best-known attraction, Inis Mór has more than 50 different monuments from Christian, pre-Christian and Celtic eras. Stretching out terrifyingly over the sea is Dún Dúchatair, also known as the Black Fort. Erosion from the wild ocean has left the fort on a thin platform over the water so peek over the edge at your own risk! And don't miss Teaghlach Einne, the house of St Enda, a little church half-buried in sand at Killeany graveyard. The graveyard is at least 1500 years old, and still serves as the main burial ground for the island. St Enda himself, the patron saint of Inis Mór, is believed to be buried there. Poll na bPeist, Inis Mór Seaside adventures Inis Mór is full of spectacular beaches. Kilmurvey beach lies in a sheltered cove, and has the calmest waters in the island. Stroll along the soft white sand or take a dip in the sea. If you're feeling adventurous, visit Poll na bPeist, also called The Wormhole - a spectacular naturally formed rectangular pool in the cliffs into which the sea flows in and out. Scary as it looks, it's a popular cliff diving spot for thrill-seeking visitors. Where to stay The island has overnight options for every budget and comfort level. The Aran Islands Hotel in Kilronan village is a perfect place to relax after a long day. For something a little cosier, Inis Mór is dotted with traditional B&Bs. Or you could try Kilmurvey House, a stately 18th century guesthouse with lashings of vintage charm and an idyllic beachside location. Get a taste of island life Touring the Aran Islands is hungry work, so make sure you fuel up! Teach Nan Phaidi near Kilmurvey beach is a charming traditional thatched cottage that serves up delicious local food. Warm scones, hearty Guinness stew and freshly caught fish will set you up for the day and see you coming back for more. If you just need a quick bite, RUA Caifé in Kilronan is the good spot. Try their ultimate Irish sausage rolls – sausage, black pudding and white pudding wrapped in buttery, flaky pastry. And for good food and great music, head to Joe Watty's Bar. The atmosphere is friendly so you can get to know your fellow travellers and the locals over a drink. We recommend County GalwayWhether rugged Connemara or the bright lights of Galway city – there's always something to do in County Galway The SkelligsA long time ago, before Skellig Michael welcomed Star Wars, dedicated monks made this remote island their sanctuary The Cliffs of MoherTowering heights and amazing myths, foaming waves and flurrying birds: the Cliffs of Moher are a natural masterpiece.

What we've been doing in the last couple of weeks:
- Midfield bot attacking
- Basic customisation and inventory system (item drops etc)
- Showing your character much more during a match so you can see all the cool stuff you have
- Integration of all bot types into the matchmaking system
What's coming up next:
- Beta testing before next release
- Next steps of customisations (chests/keys, exchanging items)
- Local botmatch
- Bot/player substitution
We have 27th March as our feature-freeze date for the next release. There is usually a week or so of testing and bugfixing before we have something suitable for release. There are some big changes in this update, so I expect that pattern to continue.
I've been thoroughly entrenched in bot-code for the last couple of months, and the midfield bots have by far been the hardest.
The keeper and defenders are, for the most part, reactive. Meaning that they can fulfil their duties by simply reacting to the current state around them. The keeper checks to see if the ball is heading towards the goal and moves to the interception point. A defender moves to a defined defensive location based on the current position of the attacker.
A good midfielder needs to predict what will happen, evaluate the attacking potential of those around them and act accordingly. The midfield bots are the only ones which look both at what they are doing, but also what their teammates are likely to do.
For humans, predicting the future is relatively easy. For bots, it's hard and involves a lot of maths. For example, I'm pretty proud that I've managed to get the bots to do volley shots:
This involves:
- Predicting the path of the ball using the laws of ballistic trajectory, so that the bot knows where the ball will be in the future.
- Calculating whether or not the bot will be able to move to that location in the time available.
- Decide that if the bot took a shot from the location, would the ball make it to the goal unimpeded and quickly?
- Selecting a target and aim at it.
- Move to the predicted location with an offset vector based on the angle to the goal.
- Calculate if the ball is within the gun kick range/angle.
- Determine if the volley opportunity has passed using the current velocity/location of the ball (so the bot doesn't hang around forever waiting for a volley that will never happen).
- Actually kick the ball!
I also get the occasional reminder that despite the rocket-science stuff above, I get things wrong a lot of the time as well. Case in point: the first rules I defined for going back to defend after an attack failed translated roughly as "when the enemy team has the ball, move to the nearest unmarked enemy player and stand between them and our goal". Logical, right? I set up a test, and after the team lost the ball all the midfield bots immediately ran over to mark the enemy goalkeeper, who promptly KO'd them. Doh!

appear as
1. To have certain characteristics, often ones that are similar to something else. Cancerous cysts can sometimes appear as normal ones at first, so we have to do further testing.
2. To act, as in a play or movie. My agent has been getting a lot of calls about me ever since I appeared as Elphaba in "Wicked."

1. to act a certain part in a play, opera, etc. Madame Smith-Franklin appeared as Carmen at the City Opera last season. The actor refused to appear as a villain in the play.
2. [for something] to be seen or occur in a particular form or with particular characteristics. The tumors appear as shadows on the X-ray. The first signs of the disease appear as a fever and a rash.

Care at Every Stage
Faster Establishment
For Amenity or Landscaping Purposes
Wyevale Nurseries dedicates over 70 acres to growing over 1.5 million plants in 1 litre to 10 litre pots. We have over 1,000 varieties listed and we update this range on a regular basis.
Our container site has seen continued investment with projects designed to ensure environmental quality and efficiency standards continue to be raised.
Steve Reed
Production Director Container Division
Steve has worked at Wyevale for 30 years since gaining an Higher National Diploma in commercial plant production. He has experience of Hardy Nursery Stock of all ages from cuttings to 25L specimens. Steve works closely with his knowledgeable team to produce top quality crops to the right specifications.
Starting at the beginning of a crop cycle, Wyevale Nurseries runs its own propagation departments.
This enables us to:
• ensure trueness to type on all varieties we propagate from our own stock material
• bulk up on important or new varieties quicker than the competition
• have a better understanding of crop issues by observing the initial growth process
• have exact growing standards and agreed blueprints for crop management
• have the ability to grow plants in the format that suits our processes, bringing cost efficiencies
• manage production flow better
• protect against buying in pests and diseases
Following propagation plants are moved through potting using top class machinery which can pot liners and bare root plants efficiently. It will then be transferred to either open beds, poly tunnels or glass houses to suit.
Left: Cuttings being taken for propagation Right: Potting.
By utilising our 1.5 hectares of additional new glass houses Wyevale Nurseries are able to achieve faster establishment, more even growth, speed of growth and early cropping. We have full Environment Control within our glass houses and are able to use integrated pest management.
Many of the poly tunnels are flexible and high venting helping to promote hardiness and disease resistance. The nursery also runs an automatic watering system attached to a weather station that predicts evapotranspiration levels and adjusts water application accordingly.
Wyevale Nurseries has bespoke areas set aside specifically for the growing of specimen stock to the highest standard.
Many nurseries claim to offer a
complete A-Z, few truly do!
We know how important the 'one-stop-shop' is to our customers and so we try to ensure that our A-Z is exactly that.
All our plants are grown to The National Specification Standard as a minimum specification and we aim to significantly exceed this minimum. Our shrubs contain 18 – 24mth Osmocote (long release fertilizer) to help ensure they establish well when planted.
We offer all the key landscape and amenity varieties, and where they exist, improved varieties - these may cost a little more, but the benefits justify that extra few pence.
For example Geranium Johnsons Blue, always popular but Geranium Rozanne which is a much more vigorous can be planted at twice the planting distances, reducing the overall planting costs. Griselinia littoralis Green Horizon and Prunus laurocerasus Novita are both much stronger forms than the straight species.
Wyevale Nurseries understands the need to extend the planting season as long as possible. We have quadrupled the volume of pot grown hedging that our container plant division grows so that we can now provide hedging all year round.
We specialise in contract growing and have many years' experience in delivering plants to agreed specifications for a required delivery time and at very competitive prices:

Yachimun Pottery Village.Saturday, 1 May 2010
If I get asked what I enjoyed most in Okinawa, it definitely would have to be "potteries" and yes when I say that people look at me like "what is she talking about?" but that's alright I understand. (Or rather it's them who don't understand, I think.)
OK, so Yachimun Pottery Village (Yachimun no Sato) is "the" place I highly recommend to go to if you are ever in Okinawa. ("Yachimun" means "pottery" -yakimono- in Okinawan dialect apparently!) It's located in Yomitan in the central Okinawa main island, and is a lovely little village where many local artisans gathered along and have their own atelier/galleries in and around. The above photos are one of the kilns from Yachimun no Sato (it's huge!) which various artisans share and is fired once every two months. The red tiled roofs are typically seen in Okinawa, the contrast between these red tiled roofs and the green in the background were really nice, it was so calming.
I found this article about Yachimun no Sato written in English, so if you are interested you can learn more about it.

Dale Mathis' gorgeous executive desk uses clockwork gears to kinetically imply the massive inner cogitations — the brainthink — of the man sitting behind it, whether an airship captain planning the optimal air-route over the trouble nation of Zembla, a Mechanical Turk chewing his moustache over a particularly difficult endgame variant, or a corporate executive wondering if he wants rye bread on his ham sandwich. The desk is only being marketed to the latter, though: each unique clockworkpunk sculpture costs $21,000.

Winter Squash
Next up isn't really one food but many, typically clumped together under the name winter squash.
There are numerous types of winter squash, all of them healthy for you. Winter squash are different than their summer cousins in that they have a tough rind and flesh and must be cooked before eating [source: The Cook's Thesaurus].
Some of the more common kinds are butternut squash, acorn squash and buttercup squash. Butternut squash is considered the healthiest of the bunch, ranking 10th for non-green vegetables on the ANDI scale with a score of 156 [source: WFM].
One neat thing about winter squash is that the varieties can be stored for months after harvest, making them a great seasonal vegetable well into the cold winter months [source: The Cook's Thesaurus].

HIV Ireland is currently one of just a few organisations raising awareness about HIV in Ireland, and as such is in a key position to influence Government policy in the area of HIV and sexual health. HIV Ireland has a long history of campaigning for the rights of people living with HIV, and has consistently engaged in policy development while lobbying and campaigning in the promotion of human rights. While the growing emergence of partnership models has provided a platform for greater dialogue between statutory and voluntary agencies, the need for active lobbying remains crucial.
A key objective in our Strategic Plan 2014-2017 is "To inform and influence policy around issues concerning HIV prevention and sexual health and around the lives of people living with HIV."
HIV Ireland places a strong emphasis on research and an evidence-informed approach (both national and international) when presenting key policy issues and positions. We operate under an ethos of equality and are committed to making a positive contribution towards a humane and just society. HIV Ireland strives to ensure an environment that promotes equal opportunity and prohibits discrimination while further enabling people living with HIV to experience dignity and respect at all times. It is our policy to ensure the inclusiveness of the voices and experiences of people living with HIV when working on any policy issues that affect HIV-positive people.
Most recent Policy Work:
#5Asks: HIV Ireland asks for political commitments to drive the HIV response in Ireland.
To mark the 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day 2018, HIV Ireland held a political briefing on 28th November 2018 in the AV Room in Dáil Éireann, and published a key framework document asking for political commitments to prioritise and accelerate the response to the growing HIV crisis in Ireland.

Latest developments on availability of PrEP in Ireland:
On 7th November 2017, the High Court in Dublin rejected an application from Gilead Sciences for injunctions preventing two generic manufacturing companies (Teva and Mylan) from marketing generic versions of Truvada in Ireland. This has cleared the way for the introduction of generic PrEP in Ireland.
On 1st December 2017, (World AIDS Day), Teva Pharmaceuticals Ireland announced that from 4th December 2017, a generic version of the medication (Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Teva) will be available in pharmacies in the Republic of Ireland, on presentation of a doctor's prescription.
HIV Ireland welcomed the announcement of the availability of PrEP in Ireland, but also called on the Government to make PrEP available to everyone, and not just those who can afford it. Read the HIV Ireland Press Release here.

National Drugs Strategy 'Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery' 2017 to 2025
HIV Ireland works closely with the North Inner City Drugs Task Force (NICDATF) to ensure that HIV prevention and education remains on the agenda when working with drug users and when developing policy frameworks. HIV Ireland is a member of the NICDATF sub-committees on Prevention and Education, and Treatment and Rehab.
The new National Drugs Strategy – Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery – A health-led response to drug and alcohol use in Ireland 2017 to 2025 – was published on 17th July 2017 and launched by An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar TD, Minister for Health Simon Harris TD, and Catherine Byrne TD, Minister of State at the Department of Health with responsibility for Health Promotion and the National Drugs Strategy.
The strategy specifically states that harm-reduction advice promoting sexual health and screening programmes will continue to play an important role in reducing the risks of contracting blood-borne viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis C.

Tattooing and Body Piercing Infection Control Guidance
The Department of Health, in conjunction with the Health Service Executive, is currently developing guidance on infection control for the tattooing and body piercing industry. The purpose of the document is to provide guidance to the industry in the absence of sector specific regulation. It is intended to publish the guidance early in 2016. In December 2015, the Department of Health issued the Draft Guidance Document and called for submissions from the public and the industry.
The Draft Guidance issued by the Department of Health included a recommendation that if a person discloses an HIV positive status then tattooing or body piercing is not recommended. See PART A, SECTION 3. P.24 which reads: "Check with the client if they have Haemophilia or a blood borne infection such as HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C. If client discloses that they do, tattooing or body piercing is not recommended."
In January 2016. in light of this particular recommendation, HIV Ireland sent a written submission to the Department of Health calling for a removal of this recommendation from the Guidance.

HSE National Service Plan 2016
The HSE National Service Plan 2016 includes a commitment to "Enhance Community approaches to addressing HIV/AIDS" and to "collaborate with HIV Ireland and other stakeholders" in these approaches.
Additionally the plan includes actions to implement the recommendations of the National Sexual Health Strategy and the National Hepatitis C Strategy.
HIV Ireland Report- Potential impact of the Swedish model on rates of HIV/AIDS among sex workers and their access to healthcare
HIV Ireland has been working directly with Sex Workers for a number of years and has been officially involved with the Sex Workers Alliance of Ireland since 2011. In 2015, HIV Ireland conducted research on the potential impact on sex workers of the state introducing the Nordic (Swedish) Model to Ireland (Roe & McGowan: 2015) The researchers found that the Swedish model is leading to a more adverse health environment for sex workers including decreased self-protection against the risk of exposure to HIV/AIDS, limits sex worker's ability to access the health services they need and weakens access to outreach preventative health services. This is a key policy issue for HIV Ireland and one we will be prioritising over the coming years.

Justice, Defence and Equality opposing further criminalisation of sex workers or their clients, recommending a human-rights approach in any review of legislation on sex work, advocating for the voices of sex workers in any public consultation, and recommending that the Government ensure that any reform in the law is in line with national policies and international best practice and guidelines.

HIV Ireland was invited to participate on this committee convened in October 2014 by the Department of Public Health, HSE East, due to increasing notifications of LGV infections among men who have sex with men, primarily in the HSE East area. As part of our partnership work with the Gay Health Network, HIV Ireland also participated on an information sub-group convened from members of this team to prepare and disseminate information materials to men at risk of LGV infection. A new information leaflet was developed for distribution and a new webpage created for online information (www.man2man.ie/lgv).
Multi-disciplinary Gonorrhoea Control Group – Department of Public Health, HSE East
HIV Ireland was invited to participate on this multi-disciplinary group in 2013, convened by the Department of Public health, HSE East to investigate and control the increase in gonorrhoea notifications. HIV Ireland was also a leading partner in the Expert Working Group established to develop and roll-out the Gonorrhoea Information Campaign which ran from December 2013 to mid-February 2014. The work of the Multi-disciplinary Control Group was discontinued in June 2014 once the rise in gonorrhoea notifications was halted.

Treat Erectile Dysfunction With Pomegranate
Erectile Dysfunction is a common symptom affecting around one in ten men. It is characterised as the inability to sustain a prolonged erection during sexual stimulation. There symptoms can vary from mild to severe, and the characteristics of the condition will be determined based on the severity of the condition, and in the severest of cases will result in total inability to get an erection.
If a mild form of less frequent, shorter lasting, and limper erections becomes apparent, it is best to treat it as quick as possible, or at least take steps to try and alleviate the symptoms before they get worse, as it will always start of mild before progressing to a more severe form. The condition is progressive, so is best dealt with in the early stages. This might involve having to make some lifestyle changes, such as diet, and smoking, as cigarette smoke is a major cause, and just giving up can have a dramatic improvement.
Treat Erectile Dysfunction
The symptoms of ED have several underlying causes: It may be due to high blood pressure, diabetes, nerve damage, endocrine (hormonal production) imbalance or even depression. Ultimately, it is down to poor artery dilation and sluggish flow of blood to the penis.
The arterial hardening that often occurs with age, is why erectile dysfunction is more common as you grow older, and the build up of plaque and subsequent arterial hardening causes this sluggish blood flow, the same reason for poor circulation and heart health.
Obese people also suffer these symptoms more because of their high cholesterol diet that leads to faster build up of arterial plaque, so changing their diet can also make a dramatic improvement. Foods that are high in antioxidants like fruit and vegetables can kill off free radicals the main culprit of build up of arterial plaque, so can slow down the onset of developing the symptoms.
Recent research carried out at University of California finds drinking pomegranate juice daily will be beneficial for men with erectile difficulties. In the first clinical study of its kind, of the test subjects drinking 8oz glass of pure pomegranate juice daily, forty seven percent reported an improvement in erection hardness, which was significant.
This is believed to be due to the high concentration of antioxidants (more than green tea) present in the fruit, which combats free radicals in the body and promotes healthier circulation and blood flow. Regular consumption of pomegranate prevents the build up of arterial plaque, resulting in healthier blood flow and vessel dilation, which is essential in promoting harder erection due to the significant volume of blood required.
Treat Erectile Dysfunction
In addition to improved circulation, the pomegranate possesses numerous additional health benefits too. The active chemicals: polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins of the pomegranate naturally lowers blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It benefits sufferers of arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. And most notably its valued for its anti-carcinogenic (anti-cancer) causing properties and very efficient at killing prostate cancer cells.
For those wanting to utilize the many health benefits pomegranates has to offer, but without the hassle of eating large quantities of the fruit should consider purchasing a pomegranate based supplement. Male Extra are the first to include Pomegranate in the formula of their pills. It is extracted in pure form of ellagic – an abundant type of antioxidant in the fruit – and super concentrated means you will need to drink 500 glasses of pomegranate juice per serving to get an equivalent effect.
If you have erection problems, you should consider this pill. It is all natural, the main component of the formula is pomegranate ellagic, but it also contains Tongkat Ali (natural tree extract Viagra used in South East Asia), and Muira Puima (the natural Viagra of the Amazon).

On one face it is inscribed with a passage taken from the Bible (Hosea) - "Behold therefore I will allure her and will lead her into the wilderness and there I will speak to her heart"....
On another face the inscription reads "Pray for the soul of E.J.G.B".....
and on another "and of A.J.B".
The stone was erected in 1928 by a Miss Maud Berkeley in memory of her late father, Dr E J G Berkeley. She lived at Little Timberden in the village and ran a Catholic mission chapel.
As well as the stone and a seat, she also erected a 15' high teak crucifix with a life size statue of Jesus.
The crucifix had a somewhat chequered history.
On the 21st January 1943 it was blown down in a gale and on the 27th October 1960 it suffered an even worse fate.
The crucifix was deliberately sawn down and the statue of Jesus vandalised. It would appear that some residents of Shoreham thought the towering crucifix an eyesore.
The crucifix and statue were removed and put into storage for a number of years. Eventually a Miss Cobbold suggested they be relocated to the Carmelite monastery at Quidenham in Norfolk where they remain to this day.

Finding one's way around a large unfamiliar building can sometimes present a major challenge, but researchers at the MIT Media Lab have come up with a pair of new approaches to solving wayfinding problems.
Guiding Light, an augmented reality app, literally points people in the right direction. The system consists of a badge with magnetic sensors and a software app that can project arrows onto the floor to guide people to their destination, making use of a projector built into their smartphone.
The other project, currently deployed in the Media Lab's new building, is more ambitious and complex. The Glass Infrastructure is a place-based information system that uses 30 touch-screens strategically placed throughout the complex to help people not only find their way but also to learn about the research being pursued in the lab.

Fails and Feels: The Best and Worst Moments in Gaming 9/30/2018
That's another week down, which means it's time for another Fails and Feels post, part of our weekly series that aims to get you all caught up on the gaming goings-on! Video game news has its ups and downs, and we're here to round up the best and worst of them.
Let's first take a look at those fails!
Fortnite Jiggle Physics Error Removed from Season Six Update
While franchises like Dead or Alive are infamous for their over-the-top anatomy, it's more than a little weird to see jiggly bits popping up in Fortnite. Yes, that game which all the kids seem to be playing suddenly began to boast bouncing body parts on some of its female character models. This was apparently an accident, with Epic Games blaming it on an "animation issue." Regardless of how it ended up in the latest build of the game, it was unusual to see a lack of polish from the otherwise professional developer. Epic was quick to think of the children, rolling out a hotfix to keep characters' assets solidly in place.

PSX 2018 Is Not Happening, Sony Confirms
The PlayStation Experience events began back in 2014 as an annual celebration for all things PlayStation, usually including a generous amount of game trailer reveals and new announcements. Having hosted PSX for three consecutive years, it was pretty much expected that a fourth show would take place in 2018. Shawn Layden, chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, announced that this wouldn't be the case. He claimed that PlayStation "wouldn't have enough [content] to bring people all together in the same location in North America to have that event." Layden didn't want to "set expectations really high, and then not deliver on it." Hopefully, the PlayStation Paris Games Week showcase will make up for this!
Neymar's FIFA 19 Name is Hilariously Broken
Despite being one of the best players on the planet, the Paris Saint-Germain soccer superstar hasn't been treated very fairly in FIFA 19. Neymar's full name doesn't appear in the in-game menus, nor during matches. Seeing Neymar named solely as "Jr" or "N Jr" is crazy to witness when you consider that the player is one of FIFA 19's cover stars! It's a weird error for EA to miss, and surely Neymar himself wouldn't be very pleased with it.
The Walking Dead The Final Season Might Go Unfinished
Telltale Games is closing down, with the company citing low sales as the cause behind the closure. Unfortunately, this affects projects already in-progress, including The Walking Dead The Final Season, which players can currently access two episodes of. It looks like the other two episodes will never be finished, meaning what was intended to be the final season will instead conclude partway through. This is terrible for the Telltale employees who have suddenly had their jobs cut, but it's also bad for the fans, who were excited for that final journey with Clementine. While it's possible that other partners may assist with finishing off The Walking Dead The Final Season, nothing is yet confirmed, and the remaining Telltale workforce is currently focused on other projects that they are contractually obligated to complete.

All Assassin's Creed Games Will Have a Gender Choice After Odyssey
In a pretty awesome move that should please all players of the upcoming Assassin's Creed games, Ubisoft has revealed that all future Assassin's games will allow a choice of gender. At the beginning of each new campaign, players can select either a male or female character. For Odyssey, there is the option to play as Alexios, the male, or Kassandra, the female. We'll have to wait until that Oct. 5 release date to find out how this choice affects gameplay and the story.
Fortnite Epic Games Account Merge: How to Link and Merge Accounts
Cross-play between PS4 and Xbox One is now a thing, beginning with Fortnite. Microsoft and Sony have finally put aside their differences, allowing their players to matchmake with one another. It's a beautiful thing! What's more, those who have created multiple Fortnite accounts to deal with the terrible PlayStation/Nintendo account errors can head to the Epic Games website to merge accounts. That's right, you can now use one account across PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iPhone, and Android!Find more content like this at
