kiddx started following Automatic Script Backup and Revision Control and Monitors - Control the "NOISE"
kiddx started following PowerShell Version Roles, Windows Hyper-V Replication Enabled, Bitlocker Enabled and and 2 others
kiddx started following Powershell Execution Policy, Google Authenticator for LabTech and Get ESXi Hostnames
depreciated Google Authenticator for LabTech
kiddx replied to johnduprey's topic in DiscussionI installed this on my LT 10.5 with the toolkit update, and it worked out of the box. Only small issue, was after I restarted the DB Agents, and logged out when I logged in I was getting errors and it turned out my Labtech MySQL Server service was stopped as well. I don't know what caused it but thought I would mention it because right after enabling a MFA plugin not being able to login again is pretty concerning Looks good though!
Powershell Execution Policy
kiddx posted a topic in General DiscussionsHi everyone, every so often, I am noticing that when I hop onto one of our Exchange servers I will get errors that Powershell is locked down. A simple set-executionpolicy fixes this, but Im wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing? I cant think of any Windows Update doing it, maybe LT does it? although I dont seem to be able to find anything.. In the meantime I am going to just write a quick script to run every week to set it, but clearly thats not the 'answer'!
ESXI Patching - Can it be done from LT?
kiddx replied to danrche's topic in General DiscussionsThere are 2 ways to do it, you can drop the file right on the server via SSH (need it enabled/fw off and pw of course). Or if you have vcenter you can deploy from a central mgmt fileshare/vcenter itself. While in our enviornment we do it the 2nd way, I would imagine most people who have 1 or 2 physical hosts are not going to have the Pro/Enterprise version along with VC, so probably scripting it would be SCPing the file over and then running the file as root from command line. This is also how you do vendor specific vmware updates like for HP,DELL,FC Nics etc ... so it could have alot of use!
Get ESXi Hostnames
kiddx replied to collinsit's topic in General DiscussionsWe removed the virtualization manager and went with the free plugin ESX Health Monitor from Squidworks. I was monitoring my datacenter which is 16 hosts, and over 200 VM's across 4 SAN's. When I used the virtualization manager my logfiles on vmware would go crazy to the point of our logging was impossible to sort through, and the cpu of the server we monitored it from often had 100% cpu hung and locked up. You may find it easier to work with some of the guys here who have already done alot of heavy lifting and this would be a simple 'addon' to whats already being worked on..
Marketplace Slow?
kiddx replied to kiddx's topic in General DiscussionsOkay thanks, I dont feel so bad then I swear it went alot faster when I first updated.
Marketplace Slow?
kiddx posted a topic in General DiscussionsHi all, we upgraded to 10.5 several months ago now and Ive noticed that the last 2 or 3 times I run the Marketplace its taking hours to go through everything. Especially on generating list of scripts seems to hang for along time. CPU/Ram are at normal levels and LT overall is running okay, i can even use it on the server directly while Im loading the solution center and it doesnt seem to have any effect. Im wondering if something is wrong with my LT or if people are seeing this kind of behavior? My initial guess is no because Im sure people would be screaming all over the forum but im not sure where i should begin to troubleshoot..
Ignore AutoDefrag
kiddx replied to kiddx's topic in Advanced ConfigurationsProbably would have to be some join query to get the result and put it there. I left it to one of my system engineers to fix, which means he probably never did it
I think both. If its not a DC it should have a local account to handle troubleshooting etc. Would be very nice. I also noticed when I ran it on my clients it created disabled domain user accounts, maybe I missed something somewhere. I am just redeploying it now to confirm I did it properly or not.
Screen Connect - RDS users?
kiddx posted a question in Redirectors, Tunnels and VNCThe latest version of SCR (5.4.9849.5781) seems to give us a black screen if we flip to an RDS user on 2012/2012r2. We dont have this on a few older 2008 servers. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this recently?
Just as a follow up, I have pushed out now to 4 clients and about 100 machines and it seems to be working well. One thing I didnt think about and am trying to come up with a way to handle it is RDS servers. While I dont normally want to push java/adobe/chrome to servers, we do treat RDS servers as desktops since they are user based obviously. I know the hard way would be to turn on servers in the main page, and then goto each server that I *DONT* want it on and turn it off, and maybe in the long run this is the answer . I was thinking that even if i isolate the TS into their own location thats not going to help. I did see that I can goto the individual server and 'enable' it so hoping that will work for the control we need. Overall this is great, and I cant wait to get into the custom repository stuff we have some big plans for the choco stuff in 2016
Okay thanks I will go check those out. I was concerned that I messed it up by overwriting the demo one with the new one... Between this post and your response I found the 'chocolatey maintenance' script. I ran it manually on my desktop and right after i did that a few minutes later 7 machines in my office 'checked in' and started indexing and installing the choco agent. Im guessing that was just timing and everything will be okay now . Thanks again, this looks like a great replacement for our ninite/app-care and Im excited to get it rolling into all clients.
Hey this looks like it would be a good replacement for the 5 scripts we run constantly! we make a domain admin account *and* a local account with the same creds across all machines domain and non-domain joined. This way during an issue , like network issue, DNS , or malware hijack we have a local account that can get on the machine in safe mode or anytime the domain is not available. We did ours similar where we made a group of non-changing networks/locations and those are skipped . We made a checkbox at the client level for our scripts to check. While it works I know it can be done much easier and this looks like the right way to do it. FYI, on a Mac/Linux all you would have to do is run the proper command to make a user (adduser) and update the pw (passwd) and send it over
Hi all, just curious, i had the 5 user free for about a month seemed to be working ok. earlier today i purchased 1000 seats, and am very excited. I went in and updated the plugin via the latest.zip and everything was able to turn on and shows loaded, but after several hours Im still waiting for the first client to be 'inventoried'. I see its set for 1 HR maintenance runs, is there a script anywhere i can see or run manually just to confirm its working?
Hi all, so a quick down and dirty, I took the 2 commands from scootr and put an email notice real quick on it. The trick was i had to run as SHELL: not admin, not process execute, nothing else. I attached it here. I ran this on my whole org and within 20 minutes @ 800 clients dropped out ... and I got an email that showed me the results output. HTH anyone trying to get this done correctly. The wmic option works too from cmd line, I didnt go back and test if i did it as SHELL if it works or not ... Good luck! LMI-Remove.zip
I run this from the command prompt and run the LMI task scheduler and it works, but no matter what i use in LT script it doesnt work Process Execute / admin Shell user/admin Powershell user/admin However, this seems to work from any admin command prompt or the cmd prompt in LT wmic product where name="logmein" call uninstall

When Japanese food is talked about, 'healthy meal' is the first thing that comes to mind. Many of the scientists say that it is the traditional Japanese diet because of which, the people of Japan lives a healthy and long life. The rate of obesity is also quite less in Japan when compared to that of the other nations. According to researches and various studies, healthy Japanese food is the main contributor to this. This is one of the reasons why people around the globe have started to consume traditional Japanese cuisines.
It includes plenty of vegetables, pickled and fermented foods, most of which are steamed, boiled or grilled. There are very few dishes that are fried. The Japanese dishes are yummy and also easy to make. But if you are not willing to cook Japanese meals at home, then you can attain the real flavor and healthy aspects by visiting a traditional Japanese restaurant in your city. Order any of the dishes from sushi, sashimi, udon noodles, miso soup, and other such items that not only provide an authentic taste but also contribute to your health. Here we shall be taking a look at a few reasons why the traditional meals are healthy.
- Vegetables, legumes and various herbs like ginger are the main content of many Japanese cuisines. Moreover, fewer amounts of shio or salt and oil are utilized to cook Japanese food. And therefore the dish becomes a healthy food option consisting of different nutrients while including a minimum amount of fat and calories.
- Fish is another main ingredient of different Japanese delicacies. And when compared with red meat, fish tends to be a better nutritional food with a lesser amount of calories and a good amount of healthy fats. The essential fatty acid (Omega 3) included in fish are great for improving the heart health and also the functioning of many other systems of the body.
- Many of the traditional Japanese cuisines are made up of ferment soybean paste that is known as miso. This is a great product that allows your digestive system to function smoothly. Because of this, you will be less affected by different illnesses. Miso soup is one of the best Japanese food items served in many restaurants. Although it is at its best when prepared in a simple manner in a traditional style, sometimes things like tofu bits, scallion and daikon (radish) are also added to this soup to give it a unique and different flavor.
- Japanese noodles is an important addition to complete a Japanese meal. Tofu shirataki noodles, edamame noodles, soba, udon, and ramen are a few of the most popular types. These contain proteins, fiber, potassium, zinc, and other minerals, as well as vitamins, especially B vitamins. Each of these noodles adds interesting textures and flavors to the Japanese meals. Being gluten free many of them are great substitutes for different kinds of pasta.
These facts show that traditional Japanese cuisines are great for both your health and taste buds. Sushi Express Café is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Dubai offering you great food both for dining and delivery.

BANKS — The relationship between a bank and one of its depositors is contractual, and the bank's right to make a deduction from its depositor's account is wholly dependent on whether a particular transaction is authorized.
A consumer used a bank-issued debit card to pay an $800 deposit for her son's prom limousine rental. The contract required payment of the rental balance in cash. The prom was held on a hot evening and the limousine did not have air conditioning. After one hour, she sent the limousine away because the vehicle was uncomfortably hot, and then retained another limousine company for the remainder of the evening.
Without her authorization, the terminated company charged the balance of the price on the same debit card. The consumer protested, and the bank-issuer temporarily credited the account pending an investigation. Ultimately, the bank determined the charge was proper because the merchant was willing and able to provide the service. Its investigation failed to determine whether the company was authorized to charge the remainder on the debit card.
The consumer sued the bank, but the lower dismissed the complaint. On appeal, the Appellate Division reversed and remanded for further proceedings, concluding that the lower court record did not support the lower court's finding that the second payment to the company had been authorized.
On remand, the lower court conducted a second trial at which the consumer again testified that she never authorized the bank to charge her debit card for the balance of the limousine company's charges. The court found the second debit was unauthorized, but dismissed the complaint, finding the consumer failed to show that the bank was negligent in its investigation of the contractual dispute.
In the second appeal that followed, the Appellate Division reversed the judgment of no cause of action for the consumer's claim based on the bank's charging of an amount for an unauthorized transaction. The Court said that the relationship between a bank and one of its depositors is contractual, and the bank's right to make a deduction from the depositor's account is wholly dependent on whether a particular transaction is authorized. The Court pointed out that its prior opinion had held that the transaction was unauthorized, and so the bank breached its debit card agreement with the consumer in charging that second amount to her account. Thus, the consumer was entitled to judgment against the bank for the amount of the second charge.

» Why open access is better for scholarly societies The Occasional Pamphlet
firstname.lastname@example.com 2013-01-30
"Thank you for this opportunity to join the others on this panel in talking about open access. I will concentrate in particular on the relationship between open access and the future of scholarly societies. I'm thinking in particular of small to medium scholarly societies, which have small publishing programs that are often central to the solvency of the societies and to their ability to do the important work that they do. In one sense it should be obvious, and I think it's been made obvious by the previous speakers, that open access meshes well with the missions of scholarly societies. LSA's mission, for instance, is 'to advance the scientific study of language. LSA plays a critical role in supporting and disseminating linguistic scholarship both to professional linguists and to the general public.' [Emphasis added.] So I'll just assume the societal benefit of open access to researchers and to the general public alike. For the purpose of conversation let's just take that as given. Nonetheless, many scholarly societies, and the faculty that support them, are worried that open access – at least as they understand the concept – could exacerbate the serious financial distress that many of those societies are already under, and even undermine their very existence and thereby their ability to carry out this mission. I've heard faculty worry that even 'green' open access (self-archiving of articles in open-access repositories) could undermine the economics of journal publishing in such a way that their scholarly societies could be endangered. I want to argue that there is a real threat that many scholarly societies accurately perceive in their publishing programs, but that we must be careful not to misdiagnose this problem. In fact, a general move to open access would be the best outcome for scholarly society publishers. If the entirety of journal publishing magically metamorphosed somehow to an open-access system, scholarly society publishers would be much better off. From a strategic point of view then, the best course of action for scholarly societies and for the faculty and researchers who support them would be to promote a shift to open access as widely and as quickly as possible. Now, the threat that societies perceive is an economic threat, so my remarks will be almost entirely economic in nature; I'm just warning you. My talk certainly will have no linguistic import at all..."

Parental Involvement
Parents are the first educators of their children and we aim to support their essential work by involving them in the care and education of their children at this nursery. We believe that children benefit most from early year's education and care when parents and staff work together in partnership.
Our aim is to include all parents, both mothers and fathers. These include both natural or birth parents as well as step-parents and parents who do not live with their children, but have contact with them and play a part in their lives. 'Parents' also include same sex parents as well as foster parents.
The Role of Parents
The Pre-School Learning Alliance recognises parents as the first and most important educators of their young children. Our nursery aims to support parents. Parents are welcomed:
To take part in the management of the nursery
To work in the group with the children
To assist with fundraising
To represent the nursery at branch and county activities of the Pre-school Learning Alliance
To attend open meetings of the Pre-school Learning Alliance
To attend training courses, workshops and conferences organised by the Pre-school Learning Alliance
To attend the Nursery Annual General Meeting.
Our membership of the Pre-School Learning Alliance ensures that we are constantly in touch with new thinking in the field of child education and care. We receive a monthly magazine offering practical advice and up-to-date information, and have access to a range of professionally produced publications. Parents may ask to see any of these. In addition, on-going training is available through the Pre-school Learning Alliance courses, which welcome both staff and parents. Informal training is available through local meetings and conferences, and parents will always be informed about these.
We encourage parents and carers to undertake training, and offer work experience within the group. If you would like to become more involved in the nursery sessions as a volunteer or on our list of relief staff, please speak to a committee member.

SOCHI, Russia (REUTERS) - Mercedes' decision to limit their latest Formula One engine to works team drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg is due purely to technical and logistical reasons, according to motor sports director Toto Wolff.
Since last month's Italian Grand Prix, won by Hamilton, Mercedes's factory team has had a different specification power unit to their customer teams Williams, Force India and Lotus.
"The decision we took is to do an R&D (research and development) exercise in order to learn more for next year and you can't do this kind of exercise with a customer team," Wolff told reporters at the Russian Grand Prix.
"If you go into a development direction, you can't make eight engines because it could be the case that it was the wrong direction we went in."
Mercedes have a policy of treating their customer teams equally but, with only four races remaining after Russia, have decided it is not feasible to make the latest upgrade available to all.
The works team can clinch their second successive constructors' title in Sochi this weekend if they score three points more than Ferrari.
However, Williams are defending third place from Red Bull and attacking Ferrari while Force India and Lotus are fighting a close battle for fifth.
Finland's Valtteri Bottas, who set the fastest lap in Sochi last year, said he was still happy to have a competitive engine in his Williams.
"Even though it's not a new step, it's a very good engine, and it is competitive and we can get good results with it," he told reporters. "Life is not always fair, and nor is F1... I still think we have the best possible engine for us to try and get maximum points for the rest of the year."

Commercial fisher Carl Moore wasn't sure what he had netted last week just south of Key West, Florida (map), when he saw the fish's flat, blade-like snout. Only after the Georgia angler photographed and released his catch was its identity confirmed: It was a goblin shark, a rare deep-sea shark, and it's believed to be only the second such specimen ever caught in the Gulf of Mexico.
"We don't know how long they live; we don't know how often they reproduce, or even how big they are when they reproduce," Carlson says. "They're a mystery."
Moore had told NOAA he thought the shark he released was about 18 feet (5.4 meters) long. When Carlson and colleagues analyzed Moore's photographs, they gauged the length to be more like 15 feet (4.5 meters) long. And they made an educated guess about the shark's sex.
Carlson says male sharks have external sexual characteristics called claspers, two fin-like appendages near the tail that males use to hold on to females while mating. "From the photographs, we don't see those, so we're suspecting it's a female," he says.

Boiler Water Treatment - Why is It Important ?
Boiler water quality has long been an important factor in the operation of boilers. As the power plant operating pressures increase, water quality requirements also become stricter. With the current units operating at Supercritical pressures, the requirements are tough. Continuous improvements and changes in the methods of maintaining water quality, understanding the corrosion mechanisms, and the development of new chemicals have resulted in a more economical and efficient water regime management.
Four Reasons Why Boiler Water Treatment is Important
There are four main reasons why water quality is so important. Impurities in water form scales.
- Water contains dissolved salts, which upon evaporation of water forms scales on the heat transfer surfaces. Scales have much lower heat transfer capacity than steel: the heat transfer coefficient of the scales is 1 kcal/m/°C/hr against 15 kcal/m/°C/hr for steel . This leads to overheating and failure of the boiler tubes. Scale also reduces flow area, which increases pressure drop in boiler tubes and piping.
- Low pH or dissolved oxygen in the water attacks the steel. This causes pitting or lowering the thickness of the steel tubes, leading to rupture of the boiler tubes. Contaminants like chlorides, a problem in seawater cooled power plants, also behave in a similar way.
- Flow assisted corrosion occurs in the carbon steel pipes due to the continuous removal of the protective oxide layer at high flows.
- Impurities carried over in the steam, causing deposits on turbine blades leading to reduced turbine efficiency, high vibrations, and blade failure. These contaminants can also cause erosion of turbine blades. Silica at higher operating pressures volatilizes and carries over to the turbine blades.
The first step is to get the make-up water to the steam cycle as pure as possible. The correct operation of the De-Mineralisation (DM) plants ensures this.
The second step is to form a magnetite layer on the inside surface of the tubes which protects the metal surface from any further corrosion attacks.
The third step is to maintain this magnetite layer throughout the life of the plant.
If the water quality goes down, this protective layer will be destroyed and corrosion starts damaging the tubes.
In a 500 MW power thermal plant around 1300 Tons of water is circulating per hour continuously in the water steam cycle through the boiler, turbine, condenser and heaters. As the water circulates, there is an increase in contaminant level and a change in water quality. This is due to many reasons like:
- contact with almost 25000 m² area of wetted steel in the tubes, piping and heat exchangers
- the residue of chemicals added
- entrapped oxygen and other gases especially in the vacuum area
- returning condensate from traps, glands, vents and drains
- impurities in the DM water make-up
Major parameters that require monitoring for water treatment are:
- The dissolved solids.
- The pH of the boiler feed water.
- Dissolved Oxygen in the feed water entering the boiler.
- Silica in boiler water.
Water Steam Circuit- Sub Critical vs Super Critcal
Differences in a Supercritical Unit
The Water Steam circuit in a Supercritical unit is different from that of a sub-critical unit. This makes the water quality requirement more stringent in a Supercritical unit.
In a subcritical unit, water steam separation takes place in the drum. Any contaminants remain in the water. As their concentration level increases, continuous "blow down "removes these. The drum, water walls, and down comers act as a reservoir and an internal circulation circuit and help in concentrating and removal.
- In supercritical once-through boilers this is not possible, which means any contaminants will adhere to the tubes or caries out through the steam. To prevent this, purity of the water entering should be very good. This makes it mandatory to have a full condensate polishing unit before the water enters the heating sections.
PH control is by the addition of chemicals like Tri-Sodium Phosphate in the boiler water or the "caustic treatment." This helps in maintaining the pH levels in the range of 9.0, slightly alkaline. The chemical reactions result in the formation of salts, which increases the dissolved solids level. In subcritical unit, "blow down" removes this.
- This is not possible in supercritical units. So an "all volatile treatment" (AVT) is used. This method uses amines whose reaction products are volatile, leaving behind no solids. This passes along with steam and removal takes place in the de-aerator or polishing systems. AVT is also the new method in subcritical drum type units.
- Super critical units also use the oxygenated treatment (OT) system, which involves injecting a known quantity of oxygen in the feed water. This helps in maintaining the magnetite or hematite layer, which provides the barrier to prevent any further corrosion in the piping and tubes.
- During start-ups and at lower loads where the water chemistry regimes are fluctuating, boiler water control is by the AVT method.
Dissolved oxygen removal is in the deaerator where at saturation temperatures oxygen stripping is easier. Addition of hydrazine at the deaertaor outlet also removes the dissolved oxygen if any in the feed water.
- Supercritical units also use deaerators. But some plants using only OT operate without a deaerator.
Silica control can is by blow down in a subcritical unit.
- In Supercritical units the only way is to ensure very low Silica in incoming DM water and good removal in the condensate polishing unit.
As the thermal plant operating pressures increase and become supercritical, water chemistry management also becomes critical. Along with adopting the correct water treatment method, a high quality DM plant and precision analytical instruments for monitoring online water chemistry is a must to eliminate outages of the plant.

The work refers to a much earlier performance, The Minder's Line (Procrustean Bed), 1973, Walker Gallery Liverpool.
This earlier engagement is re-examined in 2016 with the performance DRAWN.
Following the 2 performances where the body is the primary element, this sculpture solidifies and cuts through the concept of the procrustean bed which is about a framework of system enforcing uniformity.

Shelley King
January 19, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm$25
Some people enter a room and blend right in. Not Shelley King. She sweeps in, carrying herself with the strength and assurance of a woman who knows how to step up and get it done, whether "it" is leading her band, running her own record label or co-producing her new album, Building A Fire. If there's a little swagger to her strut, she's earned it. She has served as the first female Texas state musician, performed with Levon Helm, toured the United States, Europe and Japan and cut seven albums — including this one, her seventh, her second album to co-produce with members of the subdudes. She's also the author of a song recorded by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra; they duetted on "Texas Blue Moon" after Hazlewood heard King's version on the radio while driving through the state. That might chalk up as a lucky break, but it's King's talent and tenacity that make such breaks happen.

A Highly Recommended Site
A must-visit site, with a frequent rinse-and-repeat cycle, is the Assistant Village Idiot (AVI). I occasionally post comments there as "akafred" (a story for another day). AVI mostly tackles serious topics with his keen insight and a conservative perspective. Always provides you issues and commentary worth mulling over. Now, if he happens to be off on a tangent expounding on the virtues of ABBA, well then it's OK to high tail it back over to my site.

Britain is now in the longest double-dip recession since the Second World War.
Family budgets are being squeezed hard as prices rise faster than wages.
And this has led to government borrowing rising by a quarter so far this year.
But no matter how bad things get, David Cameron, George Osborne and Nick Clegg are desperate to cling on to their failing economic plan – putting their political pride above the long-term interests of the country.
They must have been kidding themselves this week if they thought swapping a few seats around the Cabinet table and tinkering with planning rules for conservatories was anywhere near up to the scale of the challenge we face.
But the country cannot afford to wait until the next election before we get a change of course.
Because the longer ministers refuse to act, the more long-term damage will be done to our economy.
That's why I want to work with other parties – including sensible people in the Government – on a new economic plan.
In his heart of hearts, Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable must know that Plan A is not working.
After all, before the last election, he warned – with Labour – that David Cameron and George Osborne's policies would backfire. And sadly our warnings came true.
So let's work together on new ideas to create jobs and build our way out of recession.
Let's boost construction jobs by bringing forward infrastructure projects – including building thousands more affordable homes – and cutting VAT on home improvements to five per cent.
Let's look at setting up a new British Investment Bank to help businesses get the credit they need to expand. And why don't we tax bank bonuses to fund a job for every young person unemployed for more than a year?
I am clear no single party has a monopoly on good ideas. Vince Cable has suggested a mansion tax on homes worth over £2million. So, at a time when people on low and middle incomes are bearing the brunt of the Government's tax rises and spending cuts, let's look at whether that could work, too.
What Britain needs is a bold plan to get our economy moving again, get people back to work and so get the deficit down.
With our economy in the doldrums, there has to be a better way.

What To Consider To Find The Leading Nutritionist In Your Area
One of the best ways to ensure that you have a good health is by watching on your diet. This is due to the fact that what you consume determines your general health. To find a good guide on what should be included on your diet and what to avoid, this is better accomplished by involving a qualified nutritionist. It can be difficult to find a reliable dietitian in today's competitive market since there are many with the right qualifications. Nevertheless, you need to evaluate your nutrition requirements to find a dietitian that suits you. Outline on this website are some of the tips you can consider to find a good dietitian .
The credentials are a crucial consideration to make when sourcing for the leading nutritionist. Not everyone who claims to be a dietitian is really a dietitian. The reason behind this being that most of them have not been well trained to be dietitian s. This is because some of them have not been through the right training required to be a qualified nutritionist. Therefore, before hiring a nutritionist, it is good to always check on the nutritionist credentials. Since some go to an extent of acquiring fake papers to take advantage of clients, ensure that the credentials are legit and from a renowned institution. After you are certain that the dietitian has legit credentials, you can go ahead and hire them for their services.
Another way to get a good nutritionist is through referrals. Your doctor may need you to consider you to watch on your diet and suggest a nutritionist to visit or one of your close friend or a family member may have hired a dietitian before. Thus, to find a reliable dietitian, one way is to ask some of your close friends or family members to refer you t0o one they know. The best move, therefore, is to consider referrals when sourcing for a dietitian as you can plan on your budget and know the kind services to expect, click here for more info regarding nutritionist in ny.
The experience is also an essential factor to consider to find a reliable dietitian . For the nutritionist to be effective, the experience is essential just like in any other service. With a dietitian who is new in the profession, he or she may lack the best suggestions on the kind of food one needs to include in their diet and which one to avoid. Hence, the best nutritionist to opt for is the one with experience.
When looking for a dietitian, another helpful tip to find the best one is to check on their cost. with the right research, you will find that the cost of service differ from one dietitian to the next. As a result, you need to consider your budget to find a nutritionist that you can afford.

Parte deJaroslav Černý Collection
The majority of the notebooks are A5 or similar. Most of the content is handwritten unless specified otherwise.
Many of the notebooks contain transcriptions of hieratic texts from ostraca, papyri and other objects. Also recorded are transcriptions of graffiti (hieratic and hieroglyphic) and hieroglyphic texts from monuments.
Texts were often copied in situ at sites or in museums and were continually collated. Transcriptions were also made using photographs and publications as source material.
Some notebooks are thematic focusing on economic and social history issues. These subjects include Egyptian administration (nomes), prices, topography (e.g. Deir el-Medîna), etc.
Notebooks compiled from material consulted in Egyptian collections, mostly in European countries and Egypt. Černý visited museums with major collections of hieratic material from Deir el-Medîna, most notably, Museo Egizio, Turin; British Museum, London; [Ägyptisches] Museum, Berlin; and Rijksmuseum, Leiden.
Černý compiled a series of slip-indexes for the transcriptions (slip-indexes, see Černý MSS 23 to 46).

Up Your Style Factor With Something WEIRD
I like things that look weird. In fact, most people find the décor in my home a little "out there". It's just a quirk of mine, but I prefer to be someone who has their own sense of style no matter how strange it may seem to others.
Anyway, when I see something that does the same thing as other devices and looks weird while doing it, I'm almost instantly on board. So you probably know what happened when I saw the Panasonic Nano-e Hair Dryer EH-NA95-RP. This thing is WEIRD looking! It looks like a duck mixed with an alien death ray, and I LOVE IT. More than that, it's HOT PINK. It also comes in a more muted pink and white if you're not on board with Fuchsia.
Anyway I won't buy a dryer just because of the way it looks, no matter how space age-y it is, so I want to make sure this thing ticks all the right boxes before I drop some major dollars on it.
Get It Straight
I have never found a hair dryer that leaves my hair as straight as my flat irons do. I know that's because they serve different purposes, but I would really like to reduce down to one tool for everything. This blow dryer is great for getting your hair dry and under control. It also SMOOTHS. I have never had a blow dryer that can smooth my thick hair. Color me excited!
Settings Beyond Just On And Off
I have seen blowers with temperature settings and dryers with power settings, but I have never seen one with different settings for different uses. You tell the unit what you're going to be drying, and it adjusts the heat based on that mode. If you're drying your hair, you can put it on the right setting for that. If your hair is more sensitive to heat, there's a setting for that. If you're using it for setting a face mask, you can pick the option that won't burn your face off. Pretty clever huh?
Fold It Up
I take my hair tools with me when I travel, so I try to get some that are small so they don't take up too much room. This one does the trick because it actually folds right up. The handle folds into the bottom of the barrel and makes the already compact packaging even more so. This is yet another plus in my book.
Save Some Time – Really!
The way this dryer disperses air means you can save as much as 20 minutes on your traditional drying time. Since it only takes me 30 minutes to get my hair dry enough to iron, that means I could be done in 10 minutes which is crazy (in a good way)!
It also makes hair straight and smooth enough that I don't have to iron it, which is another big coup. I could be down to ten minutes from shower to out the door with perfect hair. No flippin way!
Better For Thick Hair
This is one of those tools that has the power you need for long, thick hair but probably too much to use with fine hair. If your hair doesn't take long to dry naturally, there isn't a whole lot of point in investing that much in a blow dryer. You just won't see the benefit of it.
But if you're like me and can end up spending way too much of your precious time trying to get your hair in order, this dryer is probably just the ticket. At more than $150, you want to make sure this is the right hair dryer for you before you move forward with spending the money.

"Tony Baloney"
By Pam Munoz Ryan, illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham
Scholastic Press, $16.99, ages 5-8
Tony Baloney, a macaroni penguin, is black and white with a bright yellow and orange feathered crest. What you'll recognize right off, however, is Pam Munoz Ryan's spot-on picture of a middle child, with all the gear of a modern boy (action figures called "Walrus Guys"), a big sister capable of giving him "the look," as well as au-courant parents ("Momma and Poppa said they love me very much, but I need to think about our behavior and using our words and saying we're sorry.") Tony doesn't seek trouble, but finds it easily. The pace mirrors a child's sense of time, as in Tony's hiding out "for maybe a year, or twenty minutes." Fun.

22nd September 2011
Tenzin Tsundue: 09418079832
Tenzin Jigdal: 09736660451
Dharamsala, H.P.: As a part of the annual program, a group of Burmese refugee students and activists visits Dharamsala from 22nd to 24th September. The main aim of their visit is to learn more about the Tibetan struggle, get a sense of organization and the different strata of the community.
"The Burmese struggle for democracy and the Tibetan struggle for independence are both fighting Chinese colonialism. The Burmese military dictators are funded and supported by China. Being common victims of imperialist Chinese Government, we stand in solidarity with each other," said Tenzin Tsundue, President of the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Dharamsala, "There is much to learn and support each other. This kind of ongoing dialogue and sharing between the two struggles will help each other stand stronger in our own struggle."
In the course of three days, participants will have the opportunity to witness the ongoing session of the 15th Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile, visit the various NGOs, schools, monasteries and engage with Tibetan audience after an evening of documentary screening on their second day of the visit.
"People of Burma have been sharing a similar plight as ours under the military junta rule for almost five decades," said Jigdal, Program Coordinator of Students for a Free Tibet, India. "As a Tibetan born and brought up in exile, it is certainly encouraging to have Burmese students & activists visit Dharamsala to learn more about our freedom struggle."
This visit is being organized by the four Tibetan NGOs: Tibetan Women's Association, the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Dharamsala, Gu Chu Sum Movement of Tibet and the Students for a Free Tibet, India.

|Closed railway stations in Britain
Long Ashton railway station was a railway station on the Bristol to Exeter line, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) southwest of Bristol Temple Meads, serving the village of Long Ashton in North Somerset, England. There were two stations on the site, the first, called "Ashton", opened in either 1841 or 1852 and closed in 1856. The second station, originally known as "Long Ashton Platform" before being renamed as "Long Ashton" in 1929, was operational from 1926 to 1941. The site is now partly under the A370 Long Ashton Bypass, and there are no visible remains of the station. There is local support for the station to be reopened, possibly sited further to the west, and possibly as part of the University of Bristol's proposed Fenswood Farm development.
First station[edit]
The Bristol and Exeter Railway was opened between Bristol Temple Meads and Bridgwater on 14 June 1841, engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and build originally as 7 ft (2,134 mm) broad-gauge. A station named "Ashton", serving the nearby village of Long Ashton, was located on an embankment 3 miles 52 chains (5.87 km) from Bristol Temple Meads and 122 miles 3 chains (196.40 km) from the Great Western Railway terminus at London Paddington.[1][2][note 1] Quite when the station opened is uncertain – Butt's Directory of Railway Stations states that the station opened with the line in June 1841,[3] but Quick's Railway Passenger Stations states it only opened in June 1852.[4] Both sources agree that the station closed in January 1856,[3][4] however other sources such as Oakley's Somerset Railway Stations contain no reference to Ashton at all.[5] If the earlier date is correct, services would have originally been provided by the Great Western Railway on behalf of the Bristol & Exeter. The Bristol & Exeter took over passenger operations on 1 May 1849.[6]
The line through Ashton remained open after the station closed. In 1871, the Bristol & Exeter opened another station called Ashton, closer to Bristol, this station was later renamed Bedminster.[3] The line had been reconstructed as mixed-gauge by 1 June 1875 to accommodate local traffic. A year later in 1876, the Bristol & Exeter was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway, which took over services. Broad-gauge trains ceased operation on 20 May 1892.[6]

Second station[edit]
The station was reopened by the Great Western Railway in 1926, now called Long Ashton Platform; Ashton by then was the name of a station on the Teign Valley Line in Devon. Again, the exact date of opening is disputed: most sources state 12 July 1926,[5][7][8] but some say 20 September the same year.[9] It was located on the same site as the first station.[2]
The station was a basic halt, and had two 400 × 10 feet (121.9 × 3.0 m) platforms. A corrugated iron shelter and lamp hut were provided on the westbound platform, and a small booking office was present on the road to the platform. The estimated cost of construction was £1,930.[5]
The station was renamed Long Ashton on 23 September 1929, and closed on 6 October 1941.[5][7] There is now no trace of it left,[5] and the site is now partly under the A370 Long Ashton Bypass causeway.[10]

Plans were submitted in 2010 to reopen the station as part of the University of Bristol's Fenswood Farm development, which, if granted planning permission, will comprise some 1,200 houses, businesses and a school spread over 35 hectares (86 acres).[11] The new station would be up to 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the original location. The University notes that there is positive support for the station, but that it alone cannot guarantee its construction.[12] Long Ashton parish councillor Anthony Butcher opposes the development, but supports the reopening of the station.[13] The station could be reopened as part of the Greater Bristol Metro scheme,[14] a rail transport plan approved in July 2012 which aims to enhance transport capacity in the Bristol area.[15]
The Bristol to Exeter line through Long Ashton is not currently electrified. The 21st-century modernisation of the Great Western Main Line will see the line from London to Bristol electrified, but electrification will not extend beyond Bristol to Weston-super-Mare.[16][17] The group Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways supports the electrification continuing to Weston,[18][19] as does Member of Parliament for Weston-super-Mare, John Penrose.[17][20]

High-profile summits aren't just for glitzy politicians and jetsetters anymore. Activists, journalists, artists and dissidents meet in Oslo to share revolutionary ideas.
The Economist has described the Oslo Freedom Forum, now in its fourth year, as being on its way to becoming the Davos of human rights. But that's not quite right. Davos is an annual European conference where the well-to-do meet to do good. The Oslo Freedom Forum, on the other hand, is a European conference of do-gooders conspiring to stir up trouble.
There is perhaps no better example than Manal al-Sharif, one of three winners this year of the forum's Vaclav Havel prize for Creative Dissent. Last year al-Sharif, an information security specialist from Saudi Arabia, decided to go for a drive in her home town of Khobar, Saudi Arabia, where driving is illegal for women. She recorded herself and posted the video to the Internet. It became a YouTube sensation and also changed her life.
"My colleagues have called me a traitor to my managers at my job," she told me in an interview. "I have received death threats, rape threats, anonymous people go to my family and tell my parents, 'Your daughter is a traitor.'"
The Freedom Forum is the brainchild of a Venezuelan named Thor Halvorssen, a 36-year-old filmmaker whose preppy good looks make him appear more like a J-Crew model than a hardened activist. In an interview he said he was inspired to create a human-rights organization on August 15, 2004. That was the day his mother was shot by Venezuelan security forces while demonstrating in Caracas. She and others were urging former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who was observing a referendum on the rule of Hugo Chavez, to consider more evidence of voter fraud.
"The existing human rights institutions—Amnesty and Human Rights Watch—were not addressing a deteriorating situation; they were hopelessly absent, so why not create a new group?" Halvorssen said.
That new group became the Human Rights Foundation, which in 2009 launched the first Oslo Freedom Forum.
At first Halvorssen said he wanted the forum to be a place where the heroes of the Cold War era, men like Nelson Mandela, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Vaclav Havel and Elie Weisel, could deliver a "final lecture." Havel appeared at the conference before he died. Weisel gave the inaugural address to the group.
Halvorssen chose Oslo for the forum because it was neutral ground. "Norway is a country that has never invaded another," he said. "Bringing international delegates here, what are their governments going to say, 'You are taking orders from the Norwegian empire'?"
Norwegians have mixed feelings about the forum. On the first day of this year's conference, the Marxist Newspaper, KlasseKampen (Class Struggle), ran a negative article on its front page, essentially saying it was empty pageantry. The Norwegian foreign ministry, however, donated around $80,000 to the conference this year.
"As I see it, this conference lifts the cases of individuals," says Jonas Gahr Støre, Norway's foreign minister. "This gives them a chance to testify on the world stage."
The Freedom Forum has evolved since 2009. This year it featured a talk from Somaly Mam, a Cambodian former sex slave who is now a leading abolitionist crusading against the practice in her home country. Pyotr Verzilov, a Russian activist, presented videos of his wife's punk rock group, "Pussy Riot," and their impromptu protests in Red Square and near well-known Moscow landmarks. (Full disclosure: I participated in a panel discussion with Verzilov on the state of the Russian opposition in Vladimir Putin's Russia.)
Not all of the presentations were hits with the audience. The actress Julia Ormond gave a rambling speech on human slavery and the global supply chain for manufacturing. She ended her speech by singing a "Amazing Grace" a cappella.
At a breakfast roundtable session sponsored by a California-based charity, Humanity United, a former British diplomat named Carne Ross proposed ending nearly all secrecy in Western diplomacy. I would share more details of that talk, but Ross asked that his remarks be off the record.
The real action, however, happens in the times between the formal talks and panels. This year a group of Arab writers and editors at the conference came together to discuss a new kind of platform to defend secularism. Amir Ahmad Nasr, a Sudanese blogger, described the project as a "hub to self organize." The idea for a website and publication has been percolating with Nasser Wedaddy, a Mauritanian American, and Ahmed Benchemsi, a Moroccan publisher and editor who founded an iconic Arabic news magazine in his home country that eventually had to close after the country's king led a boycott against it. The working title of the effort is "Free Arabs."
Wedaddy told me Charter 77, the movement founded during the Cold War by Havel for anti-authoritarian dissidents, was one inspiration. "The Berlin wall fell in 1989, we are still waiting for our walls to fall," he said.
The news that Havel is inspiring a new generation of Arab liberals pleases Halvorssen. "It exceeds our expectations," he said.

10 am Monday: The suspect arrested in connection with Thursday's attack at Ocean Frontiers dive shop has been charged with 10 separate offenses and is due to appear in court Monday morning.
The charges against Jaron Solomon, 28, include: attempted murder, assault causing grievous bodily harm, defilement of a girl under 16, threats to kill, causing fear of provocation of violence and carrying an offensive weapon.
He was also charged with two common assaults and one assault causing actual bodily harm, police said.
Original story: A teenage employee at an East End dive resort was stabbed repeatedly Thursday evening inside the business by a suspect who police said had been released on court bail earlier this year in connection with a separate criminal offense.
The attack was reported at 6:20 p.m. at Ocean Frontiers and occurred near the administration desk for the Compass Point resort when a 28-year-old man entered the business and had words with a young woman working there. The dispute escalated and eventually led to the woman being stabbed about half a dozen times, according to witnesses.
One witness, Tim Johnson, a tourist on holiday from Pennsylvania, said the incident could have been much worse if one of the young woman's co-workers had not intervened, first going out for help and then coming to the aid of her stricken colleague – and getting struck in the head with a broomstick in the process.
"She was a hero to intervene like that, a lot braver than me," Mr. Johnson said. "She was young too, maybe around the same age [as the victim]."
The 18-year-old stabbing victim was taken to hospital Thursday evening with serious injuries, but Royal Cayman Islands Police Service officers said Friday that she was expected to survive. Her co-worker suffered relatively minor injuries from the blow to the head, police said.
The suspect was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder the same evening as the attack at an address in Bodden Town after he fled the scene of the stabbing. He was known to the teenage victim, police said.
Victim: 'I did not do it'
Mr. Johnson, a frequent visitor to the Cayman Islands, said he was sitting on a bench outside the Ocean Frontiers shop waiting for a nighttime dive to get under way when he heard "a commotion" inside the store. At first, Mr. Johnson said he didn't think anything of it, but began to take notice when a distressed young woman exited the shop and went next door to the Eagle Ray restaurant to get help.
At that stage, the dispute began to escalate and Mr. Johnson said he heard a woman's voice inside the shop "turn to fear, anxiety."
"She kept saying 'I didn't do it, I didn't do it,' Mr. Johnson said. "The voice was very afraid. He was clearly accusing her of something and insisting she had committed some infraction against him."
At this point, the female employee who went for help came back with several other staff members. Mr. Johnson said he followed her into the dive shop.
"I saw the stabbing victim lying against the wall on the floor in the fetal position, she was in a very defensive posture," he said.
The assailant, Mr. Johnson said, had taken a broomstick into his hand which he used to strike the other woman as she attempted to render assistance to her colleague on the floor. He said he did not see where the knife had gone. "When he hit her over the head, I got the impression he wanted to kill her," he said. "If he had a baseball bat, she would've had a cracked skull."
Mr. Johnson said he exited the building shortly afterward and called 911. He saw the stabbing victim later, before the ambulance took her away. She had blood on her neck, he said.
He said he did not know how the suspect ended up leaving the scene, but was told later that the man got into a vehicle and sped away.
Court bail
The suspect, Solomon, is known to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service from a previous incident.
He was granted bail earlier this year during an appearance before the Summary Court on charges of assaulting and threatening to kill police.
Bail conditions, including wearing an electronic ankle monitor and a curfew, were set by the court.
