Oracle parallel server
(OPS) An Oracle configuration that allows for multiple Oracle servers running on seperate computers to access the same database files simultaneously.
Normally used for high availability, running parallel servers can improve performance by spreading out CPU load, however, it requires data to be partitioned correctly.
This feature is enabled with the Parallel Server Option (or "PSO").

Well being documentarian Joe Cross talks about his expertise with juicing as a way of cleaning your physique.
Juice weight-reduction plan ideas from Joe Cross
I do both juicing and I use the blender(nutribullet) while both help me
with the weight loss….I prefer juicing over all. It helped me loose 30
pounds in a month. And I had 64 oz of juice a day. With one meal.
Can anyone tell me which juice machine he uses??? name and where i can buy
it online?
great idea
but what they don't tell you is
you will have to spend $50 bucks or more on fruits and veggies every day to
fill up a pint glass. to much dang food to buy
Raw foods tend to be 'Cold' and an overconsumption of them will damage the
Spleen energetic organ system. In Chinese medicine the Spleen is paired
with the Stomach and is central in the proper digestion and absorption of
food. Therefore, a diet with an overabundance of raw vegetables, juiced
vegetables, raw fruits and fruit juices is going to have the opposite
effect on your health than argued.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about how to protect
against digestive upsets try Bowtrol Amazing Colon Cleanse (do a google
search ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my neighbor got
great success with it.
Terrible host
Can someone tell what juicer he's using please??
He's using the Breville juicer ! Its such an amazing juicer! I started
using it after watching his documentary. So inspiring:)
Juicing is great to make your kids increase their intake of vegetables. Few
kids want to eat raw selleri but if you juice it together with some apples
they'll drink it in notime and get all these great nutrients.
Excellent interview. Had all my questions and concerns answered.
sorry to break up the party here, but drinking fruit juice, i.e. any fruit
juice in any form, i.e. store bought or freshly squeezed, is not good for
you. Fruits, in their natural state, all contain a perfect balance of sugar
and fiber. It is the fiber that helps your body process the sugar. However,
when you drink juice, you're getting the sugar, but with none of the fiber,
and your body don't like that too good, i.e. you might as well be drinking
orange Fanta. In other words, this whole thing is a gimmick, and y'all been
had. But hey – don't take my word for it – research for yourself. Peace
but he's not only using fruits…. its a 80% veggies and 20% fruit…
I recon Joe Cross binge eats in the evenings

An Optometrist's View on Geothermal Energy
The Atkins Ciwen Environmental Photographer of the Year recently shortlisted Larry Louie for his project in Iceland about geothermal energy, which is expanding at both an exhilarating and concerning pace.
© Larry Louie
One of the surprises of the Atkins Ciwen environmental photography of the year shortlist was Larry Louie. An optometrist from Edmonton, Canada, he practices photography only a few weeks a year, while traveling mostly across South-East Asia to provide free eye care. "For once, my wife and I went to Iceland for holiday. We were spending our time exploring the country and noticed this geothermal plants that provides energy to the entire country", Louie explains.
Geothermal energy is generated and stored in the Earth, in the form of heat that circulates from the core to the surface, and Iceland has been a pioneer in harnessing it. And thus, what was one of Europe's poorest countries, dependent upon peat and imported coal for its energy, became a country with a high standard of living where practically all stationary energy is derived from indigenous renewable resources.
© Larry Louie
Motivated by economic and environmental purposes, there are now talks to expand the use of this energy to other European countries, which is not without causing worry. "As we hiked in land and onto glaciers, our local guides all voiced a real concern about the government that want to harness all the energy that is given off by the earth - in particular water and geothermal energy -, without thinking too much about the environmental impact that these energy plants might cause to the delicate nature in the area", Joanna Wong-Louie, Larry's wife, continues. "Harnessing hydro electricity from certain waterfalls may be detrimental to the many streams that the salmons come up to spawn every year. Moreover, areas where large geothermal plants are constructed usually experience sinking of the land due to water being pump out of the land to extract the energy, and this also has been know to cause more earthquakes."
Larry and Joanna just started to tackle the issue. Nonetheless, their photographs convey a great sense of the paradoxical aspect of nature – both stunningly powerful and fragile when within the hands of men. In color for the first time, they spark the various tonalities of blue spread across the volcanic island, revealing a monochromatic landscape that seems untouched. Even the massive structure of the power plants - metallic colossi rising among eternal giants - don't seem to affect the clean wilderness of the land. "There is a rawness and exhilaration that is 100% pure mother nature and mostly untouched by man", Joanna describes. This is, until overexploitation comes into the picture.

Dr. Larry Louie is an optometrist in Canada but he is also a travel and documentary photographer who has managed to combined his interests to promote the work of different charities around the world. To learn more about Larry Louie, visit his PHM profile

See your doctor asap or get to an emergency room. Never sit back when you have any type chest pains. Abusing booze can and will have damaging effects not only on the body but the brain and mind. You ever see a drunk talk to a person that isn't there??? It looks funny but those are effects of alcohol abuse and will eventually kill anyone..Good luck and get that checked asap,ok... Dave

Villanova University will add another local football star when Mark Clements of Oakcrest High School joins the team in the fall of 2012.
Clements, who will be a senior, verbally committed to Villanova on Friday.
"When I went to visit I felt a warm welcome from the coaches," Clements, 17, of Mays Landing, said. "I liked the campus and the football team was very welcoming. The coaches were really nice."
Clements joins Holy Spirit's Nico D'Angelo as another local player in the incoming class for 2012.
Chris Gough (St. Augustine), Joe Sarnese (Holy Spirit) and Justin Rhinesmith (Middle Township) will join the Wildcats in 2011 on a team that already boasts several of the area's top players.
Receivers Norman White (St. Joseph) and Kenny Miles (Buena Regional), quarterback Dustin Thomas (St. Augustine Prep), defensive lineman Antoine Lewis (Mainland Regional) and defensive back Craig James (Oakcrest) also play for Villanova.
"I knew there was a lot of Cape-Atlantic League players there like Joe Sarnese and Nico D'Angelo," Clements said. "It has to be a good atmosphere if so many of South Jersey's top players want to go there and play. I just thought it was a good fit for me."
Clements said he is excited to join the Villanova tradition and that he thinks he can contribute in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, formerly Division I-AA.
"I can bring a smart young man that knows the game," Clements said. "I'm a playmaker and a ball hawk. I go get the ball."
Oakcrest head coach Chuck Smith said Clements was also being pursued by New Hampshire, Fordham and James Madison University.
Smith accompanied Clements on a visit to Villanova and said he was happy with Clements' decision.
"It's a great school academically, and a very good football program," Smith said. "It's an honor for him to play for that type of program."
Smith said he thinks that Clements, who helped the Falcons reach the South Jersey Group IV title game last fall, is one of the best high school players to play in the CAL.
"He's one of the leaders on our team and one of the best defensive backs I've ever seen from coaching football for over 20 years," Smith said. "He has great hits, great explosion, a knack for football, and is a very hard worker."
Clements' older brother John played at the University of New Hampshire and has been helping coach at Oakcrest for two years.
"He's coached me up and made me a real good player," Clements said. "I appreciate everything that he does."
Also excited for Clements' decision was his mother, Roseann, who Clements said was the first person he called after deciding.
"She was happy for me," Clements said. "She said wherever I go she'll support me. When she got home she ran in the house and hugged me and said, 'We're Wildcats now.' "

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Get info about Texas County Tech popular classes, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Texas County Tech class registration information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Texas County Tech.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond degree requirements such as Texas County Tech class registration, you may consider Andrews University supplements for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Hank Aaron, Neil Armstrong and Bill Gates may have come from different walks of life, but all three are familiar with the motto: Be Prepared. It's the motto of the Boy Scouts, the one that scouts attempt to live up to as they navigate the teenage years to adulthood. Standing behind every scout on this journey is a great scoutmaster.
For the last dozen or so years, that person for Saratoga's Boy Scout Troop 535 has been Joe Beyers. After 400 scout outings–including a weeklong sailing trip in the Bahamas, backpacking through the mountains of New Mexico, sleeping in the snow in the Sierras and camping at Manresa State Beach–Beyers is stepping down as the troop's scoutmaster. He will be replaced by Walter Spector, one of the troop's assistant scoutmasters.
"I love nurturing those boys and setting a good example for them over those years," Beyers said. "When you're in charge, you're really accountable for their development. I take a very personal interest in all the boys. It's a personal disappointment if any of them don't succeed."
Success is a mark of Troop 535, one of the oldest troops in Saratoga which has more than 40 scout members, including some who reside in the neighboring cities of Cupertino, Campbell and San Jose. This year alone, 11 boys made Eagle, the highest rank that can be reached in the organization. Beyers' own three sons and stepsons each achieved their Eagle rank.
Patrizia Fazeli, the mother of Kayvon Fazeli, a member of Troop 535 who recently became an Eagle Scout, said Beyers is the anchor of the troop. He's also always prepared. Beyers is the kind of guy, she said, who takes along an extra shovel or three or four extra sleeping bags on outings.
"One of the things that he's always had is a big heart. If scout members can't afford to go on a trip or something, he'll say, 'Don't worry about it,' and sure enough it'll come out of his own pocket," said Fazeli. "He has always had this very generous heart and is always there for the boys."
Beyers started with the Boy Scouts in 1988 as an adult leader assistant for the Cub Scouts, and then followed his eldest son to the Boy Scouts, serving as assistant scoutmaster, then back to the Cub Scouts when he started a pack at the Saratoga Elementary School and became their cubmaster for the next four years. He then switched back to the Boy Scouts, becoming an assistant scoutmaster, and finally, scoutmaster.
"It's been an incredible 25 years," Beyers said.
Beyers had an upbringing quite different to the Silicon Valley life he leads now. Before moving to Saratoga in 1984 after living in Loveland, Colo., for some time, he grew up on a farm in Illinois, where his family owned hogs, chickens and cattle. His parents, who are now in their 90s, are still farmers. Farm life helped him build "quite a work ethic" when he was growing up, Beyers said.
"I used to get up in the morning and collect 1,000 eggs before I went to school," he said. "Some of these kids can't even get up out of bed. Imagine doing that every morning."
Beyers went on to graduate from the University of Illinois and later worked at Hewlett-Packard for 34 years, serving as the company's vice president for 25 years.
Part of the reason he is resigning from his scoutmaster job is to focus on his Cupertino-based startup, Inventergy, an intellectual property business where he serves as CEO and chairman. The company is expected to go public in the next six months and is undergoing rapid transitions, Beyers said.
But it's not adieu to Beyers just yet. He plans to stay involved as an assistant scoutmaster over the next three years.
Aside from giving him time to run his startup, retirement from scoutmaster duties may allow Beyers to focus on his hobbies, which include running and skiing, and his family. He has two adult sons and a daughter from his first marriage and three stepchildren from his second wife, Kathy.
Troop 535 alumni and friends have a chance to wish Beyers well at a retirement party on Dec. 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the gymnasium at St. Andrew's Episcopal School, 13601 Saratoga Ave., Saratoga.

velvet underground
Velvet is on trend this party season-a little less bling, a little more luxe! Velvet is sensuous and soft, and emphasises the feminine side . This season we have used velvet for emphasis, whether combined as a bodice with chiffon, or in a patchwork with plain and textured jersey .all in stock now Eternal timeless black is supplemented with a navy tunic top with assymetrical hem edged in chiffon which matches navy chiffon trousers , and a wine velvet dress with draped hem-our signature style in a new fabric. Charcoal grey is on its way, as well as our brand new jersey dress with print flocked velvet on sleeves and hem. We have reintroduced our velvet waisted coats with jersey sleeves, one in charcoal flock with a touch of gold with grey jersey trim (featured in our brochure) and one in-you guessed it, black.
How about a touch of taffeta, our black jersey dress with a slightly exagerated puff ball hem with assymetric taffeta detail. This year's festive season with chesca is understated but quirky, and both glamourous and practical. Most importantly, our dresses are synonymous with femininity, dresses for real women who shun the size 8 catwalk models and live life to the full.
See our range on line or in store, some now, some end November and remember glamour and feminine style are chesca's watchwords

HOME STAGING & STYLING with Kate Alexander
Home is where the art is…
This month, home stylist Kate Alexander looks at the role of art in the home...
Lucky for us we live in a time of affordable art - thanks a little to the internet shrinking our retail world, the invention of some pretty awesome printing technology and a widening awareness of how good it is for you to live with art. Here are a few things to consider when introducing art into your home:
First up. Art is a personal thing. Lucky for artists we all have different tastes. Buy what you like. It might be the colour that catches your eye, the style you find interesting, content you relate to, or an artist who you appreciate. Whether you can explain why you like a piece of art or not, living with it should bring you pleasure.
Understand the value. An original art piece is a one-of-a-kind. You are paying to be the only person who owns it. Art prints are duplicates of a design reproduced in a variety of ways. Limited edition art prints mean that there will only ever be a set number of them produced and are thus worth more than an open-edition. If you can't afford the original you like, see if the artist does prints.
Hanging and framing styles can change the look of an art piece. Try casually clipping it, or frame with a bold moulding. There is no right or wrong approach to this. Choose what suits you and your home.
There is no such thing as too much art in a room or home. Combine big with small, originals with prints, framed with unframed, new with old. As with a good outfit, too much of one thing can be boring. Shop around and think outside the frame.

Real Madrid's midfielder Isco (C) celebrates with teammate Brazilian defender Marcelo after scoring a goal during the Spanish league football match Real Sporting de Gijon vs Real Madrid CF at El Molinon stadium in Gijon on April 15, 2017.
It was Sporting that made the breakthrough in the 14th minute when Cop allowed a wonderful pass from Mikel Vesga to drop straight onto his left foot, and the striker's volley found a route past Kiko Casilla in the Real Madrid goal.
Zinedine Zidane insisted Isco belongs at Real Madrid after the playmaker scored two wonderful goals, including a dramatic late victor, in the 3-2 LaLiga victory at Sporting Gijon.
Rodriguez sent in a free-kick from the right, which Nacho headed down, but goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar made a superb save on the line and the ball ran across the face of goal with Morata unable to stab it home at the far post.
Real Madrid will be without their entire prodigious attacking trident this weekend and Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale were all left out of the 18-man squad for the trip to Sporting Gijon.
Madrid twice came from behind before Isco's low drive in the 90th minute handed Los Blancos victory against their exhausted hosts, who had faced waves of attacks.
Real Sociedad has been an unhappy hunting ground for Barca, with the reverse fixture representing a seventh successive season without leaving the Anoeta with three points.
Fabio Coentrao played today from the beginning for first time in all the regular season and this is what Zidane thinks about his performance:"I saw him very well and I'm happy for him".
The hosts took advantage, showing no fear against the league leaders and they broke the deadlock with Cop's well-worked goal. "We need everyone and everyone responds".
Before that game, both rivals will play the return legs of their Champions League quarterfinals.
The calculated risk taken by Zidane came close to backfiring.
Madrid then peppered the Sporting goal, but didn't make the breakthrough until injury time as Isco's effort from the edge of the area had too much power for Cuellar.
He has been linked with a move away in the summer, but Zidane said: "I feel unfair to all those who do not play".
"You have to have character to do what he did", Zidane said.
Isco's fine individual effort and a towering header from Alvaro Morata ensured neither lead lasted more than a few minutes. But the lack of a major role under Zidane has led to rumors he is seeking to leave the club.
"I want to stay at Real Madrid for many years", Isco said.
"I don't know why it surprises people that I want to play more".
Atletico are next up and aim to cement their place in third at home facing bottom of the table Osasuna, who nevertheless travel to the capital following consecutive wins, which will probably do little to help their campaign to avoid the drop.

There is only one more Britain's Got Talent audition show to go and on Sunday night (May 6), the live semi-finals kick off. Simon Cowell and co have seen dozens of acts, but only a select few can make it through to the live shows.
Reality Bites has picked its six favourites from the auditions so far, who we believe have what it takes to go not just into the semi-finals, but all the way and win the £500,000 grand prize.
Loveable Rogues
Our personal favourite act in the competition, this cheeky trio could be the first BGT act to have credible crossover chart success. Their audition track 'Lovesick' displayed great pop sensibilities, and if the public warm to these handsome chaps there might be nothing the competition can do to stand in their way.
The Mend
The Wanted and One Direction better watch their backs. There's another boyband on the horizon and they've caught the eye of Simon Cowell and are managed by Take That creator Nigel Martin-Smith - a magical pop combo for chart success if ever we heard one. With a stunning and under-the-radar first audition, we believe that they're ones to watch come the live shows.
Mr Zip
No BGT audition this year has quite taken Twitter or the public by storm as much as Mr Zip. 'Where My Keys, Where My Phone' is still buzzing around our brain, and if this children's entertainer has any more catchy pop hits up his sleeve then he could be the dark horse of the competition.
Ashleigh & Pudsey
BGT isn't BGT without a dancing dog, and Pudsey might well be the best yet. No dog has gone all the way and won the competition before, but with Simon Cowell promising to get on stage and dance with the dog if they reach the final, surely the public will be unable to resist voting for this pair.
Only Boys Aloud
Lovely Welsh boys dressed smartly in uniforms. A quaint old teacher. Heartwarming music. Emotional backstories. We find it hard to believe that these boys won't be in the final. If the 4,567 members' families all phone in and vote, they should wipe out their rivals.
Charlotte & Jonathan
The 'new SuBo' is a bit of a curse for talent show acts - even the original SuBo failed to win BGT. So it would be an impressive feat if this opera duo could go one better than her. However, the pair have had so much hype from Cowell that it would a major shock if they at the very least didn't make the top 5.

Letter(s) from Inna to Peter (Australia)
Letter 1
Hi, My Dear! You made me smile with your letter as I was waiting for it like alittle girl waits for Christmas:) I am not a novelist or poet and I amin the process of learning how to write letters. I used to think thatit is not possible to feel the person through written words. One mygood friend proved me that I was wrong! She has found her soul mate in the opposite side of the Universe, they communicated for a long time,this man visited her several times and guess what? They are planning their wedding next year. This story overwhelmed me and pushed me todiscover the Internet:)Dear Peter, thanks for your compliments,I appreciate that you are so kind and sweet with me. Dear, I have never been abroad and I would like to travel a lot. Peter, as for your age - I do not care about it,if we have serious relations we will think together about kids, tohave them or not,ok Dear? I am sorry to say it but I am disappointed with Ukrainian men becauseof the example of my father and one bad experience. If you do not mind I will tell you everything step by step. This happened two years ago...I met a man who seemed very kind and intelligent, he promised a world for me...I was blind and I did not notice that he hide his past life from me. As it turned out he was a prisoner who escaped from the prison, he used to tell me beautiful lies every day. When he had some problems with the apartment he rented I proposed him to stay for sometime in my flat and it was my great mistake. This mean man robbed meand he disappeared in unknown way, I did not call the police as Iloved him...From this time I was afraid to start any relations with men as I could not trust anyone. Can you imagine this? But it was inthe past and I need a strong and honest man by my side, whom I can trust. Dear, I want to have a strong family and to live happily with my husband and kids. I really want to help my mother who has devoted all her live to her daughter, to me. She has two jobs, at the end of the day she is so tired and I am trying to support her. I want my Mom to be proud of me. I have not been studying at the University but I would like to go there as soon as I get the needed sum of money.Also I want you to know that I really do not know English language...I am sorry that I did not tell you this in my first letter, I totally forgot! Also I was afraid that you would stop our communication.I`m using translating agency which is very reliable, with a good reputation in my city. I hope you`ll understand me and we will continue our lettering. That is all for now, please write me all your thoughts.Hope to get a letter from you very soon. Your Ukrainian Girl Inna

Meteorite Hits
January 19, 2012 by staff
Meteorite Hits, An impact event is the collision of a large meteorite, asteroid, comet, or other celestial object with the Earth or another planet. Throughout recorded history, hundreds of minor impact events (and exploding bolides) have been reported, with some occurrences causing deaths, injuries, property damage or other significant localised consequences.
Impact events have been a plot and background element in science fiction since knowledge of real impacts became established in the scientific mainstream.
A bolide undergoing atmospheric entry
Small objects frequently collide with the Earth. There is an inverse relationship between the size of the object and the frequency that such objects hit the earth. The lunar cratering record shows that the frequency of impacts decreases as approximately the cube of the resulting crater's diameter, which is on average proportional to the diameter of the impactor. Asteroids with a 1 km (0.62 mi) diameter strike the Earth every 500,000 years on average. Large collisions – with 5 km (3 mi) objects – happen approximately once every ten million years. The last known impact of an object of 10 km (6 mi) or more in diameter was at the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event 65 million years ago.
Asteroids with diameters of 5 to 10 m (16 to 33 ft) enter the Earth's atmosphere approximately once per year, with as much energy as Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, approximately 15 kilotonnes of TNT. These ordinarily explode in the upper atmosphere, and most or all of the solids are vaporized. Objects with diameters over 50 m (164 ft) strike the Earth approximately once every thousand years, producing explosions comparable to the one known to have detonated above Tunguska in 1908. At least one known asteroid with a diameter of over 1 km (0.62 mi), (29075) 1950 DA, has a possibility of colliding with Earth on March 16, 2880, but the Torino scale only works for impact possibilities within 100 years, and thus cannot apply to this asteroid.
Objects with diameters smaller than 10 m (33 ft) are called meteoroids (or meteorites if they strike the ground). An estimated 500 meteorites reach the surface each year, but only 5 or 6 of these are typically recovered and made known to scientists.
Earth has gone through periods of abrupt and catastrophic change, some due to the impact of large asteroids and comets on the planet. A few of these impacts may have caused massive climate change and the extinction of large numbers of plant and animal species.
The Moon is widely attributed to a huge impact early in Earth's history. Impact events earlier in the history of Earth have been credited with creative as well as destructive events; it has been proposed that impacting comets delivered the Earth's water, and some have suggested that the origins of life may have been influenced by impacting objects by bringing organic chemicals or lifeforms to the Earth's surface, a theory known as exogenesis.
Eugene Merle Shoemaker was first to prove that meteorite impacts have affected the Earth.
These modified views of the Earth's history did not emerge until relatively recently, chiefly due to a lack of direct observations and the difficulty in recognizing the signs of an Earth impact because of erosion and weathering. Large-scale terrestrial impacts of the sort that produced the Barringer Crater, locally known as Meteor Crater, northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona, are rare. Instead, it was widely thought that cratering was the result of volcanism: the Barringer Crater, for example, was ascribed to a prehistoric volcanic explosion (not an unreasonable hypothesis, given that the volcanic San Francisco Peaks stand only 30 miles (48 km) to the west). Similarly, the craters on the surface of the Moon were ascribed to volcanism.
It was not until 1903-1905 that the Barringer Crater was correctly identified as being an impact crater, and it was not until as recently as 1963 that research by Eugene Merle Shoemaker conclusively proved this hypothesis. The findings of late 20th-century space exploration and the work of scientists such as Shoemaker demonstrated that impact cratering was by far the most widespread geological process at work on the solar system's solid bodies. Every surveyed solid body in the solar system was found to be cratered, and there was no reason to believe that the Earth had somehow escaped bombardment from space. In the last few decades of the twentieth century, a large number of highly modified impact craters began to be identified. The largest of these include Vredefort Crater, Sudbury Crater, Chicxulub Crater, and Manicouagan Crater. The first observation of a major impact event occurred in 1994: the collision of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter; to date, no such events have been observed on Earth.
Based on crater formation rates determined from the Earth's closest celestial partner, the Moon, astrogeologists have determined that during the last 600 million years, the Earth has been struck by 60 objects of a diameter of 5 km (3 mi) or more. The smallest of these impactors would release the equivalent of ten million megatons of TNT and leave a crater 95 km (60 mi) across. For comparison, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, had a yield of 50 megatons.
Besides direct effect of asteroid impacts on a planet's surface topography, global climate and life, recent studies have shown that several consecutive impacts can have effect on the dynamo mechanism at a planet's core responsible for maintaining the magnetic field of the planet, and can eventually shut down the planet's magnetic field.
While numerous impact craters have been confirmed on land or in the shallow seas over continental shelves, no impact craters in the deep ocean have been widely accepted by the scientific community. Impacts of projectiles as large as 1 km in diameter are generally thought to explode before reaching the sea floor, but it is unknown what would happen if a much larger impactor struck the deep ocean. The lack of a crater, however, does not mean that an ocean impact would not have dangerous implications for humanity. Some scholars have argued that an impact event in an ocean or sea may create a tsunami (a giant wave), which can cause destruction both at sea and on land along the coast, but this is disputed.

OK...If I wasn't so inept, I wouldn't be posting this problem....I used the wrong password on my Win 2000 laptop (Dell Latitude)...I'm locked out...
Ideas ????
7/10/2005 (4:04 am) by admin
Is this a work computer? I don't see why it locked you out. Do you mean it says "This computer has been locked and is in use"? Just try to remember your password or log in as administrator on this screen to log you off and then it will let you get to the administrator account to reset your password.
7/12/2005 (2:11 am) by Martin Tarr
I turned it on 2 days later and I was not locked out and after several guesses logged on!!!
7/17/2005 (12:46 pm) by Peter Robert Green
Lost passwords -- the bane of everyone's life. Where my daughter works, their IT section arrived during lunch break to install new computers (theirs is a remote site). When the staff came back, they had brand new computers with already set passwords. The IT chap couldn't remember what he had set, but would come back next week and try to sort it out, as he was going to a site down the South Coast that afternoon.
You can't plan ahead for IT staff with dementia, but you can
(1) write down your password and keep it entirely separately from your computer (I have a little pocket notebook which I keep within striking distance, but never with my computer)
(2) use a memnonic device, so that your password
-(a) is the answer to a question you can easily ask; for example, if my question was, "What's my dog's name?" I'd know the answer would be "alexthedog". (This would probably turn into "al3xth3d06", but that's a different issue.)
-(b) can be related to another word which you can leave openly around; for example, I decided to revise Greek verbs at one stage, so it was unlikely that a Post-It note bearing the words, "I feel" would necessarily lead some villain to conclude that "patheo" would get them into my machine.
(3) Search the Internet for a bootable Linux image and some password discovery software you can add to the CD you burn (that was my son's answer to my daughter's predicament.)
7/17/2005 (4:06 pm) by admin
I never thought about using a Linux live cd to recover passwords. I have been using Knoppix for a while now and i just got back from the TETA conferences here and they had a session that dealt with nothing but Knoppix. He really only showed us that Knoppix has a built in port scanner and a wireless utility that will allow you to find out stuff like SSIDs and the like. Didn't know i would be learning how to hack with Knoppix. Works good though. They are supposed to have the new version of Knoppix(4.0) coming out soon. They are going to have a DVD version that is going to have insane amounts of great software built into it. For those that want to check it out, you can find these at the following: http://www.knoppix.net/ and http://www.knoppix.org/

Theres a linux password recovery distro, i beleive its called offline password recovery. what it does it let you go into the hive and change the values, it Works MOST of the time, once i hosed a system using it, and had reinstall Windows (fortunately this was a test box I set up for just this purpose) . Be warned of the risk before you use it. Also note, that if you have encrypted files, you will NOT be able to decrpt them later if you use this method to change your password.
For the most part it works well with windows 2000, XP it sometimes causes problems.
7/18/2005 (10:53 am) by Peter Robert Green
I think I posted information about the combination my son uses somewhere else, but I'll try to stop him in his headlong flight from job to job and ask him again. I would expect him to have used something out of Red Hat, but I don't remember.
Should have stored it somewhere permanent...

A big thanks to Brian Atkins over at deviantART or as he is better known there, Toddoss. Posted below is his fantastic book cover design for Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes…I just find that as Halloween gets nearer my thoughts naturally turn to that dark and sweet story.
Brian had this to say about his piece of art: "This is a cover rendition for Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. I am not a great fan of Ray Bradbury's work but I was convinced by a friend to work up this cover. As an exercise in vector I did this picture in Illustrator which was definitely a learning experience. I would really like to do more cover art."
I would absolutely love to have his design of the nefarious Mr. Dark on a T-Shirt!

BJs vs Costco
Which do you have near you? Do you have a preference?
I only had a costco near me. There is a BJ's but I would have to drive 20 minutes past a costco to get to it.
Now there is a BJ's opening right down the road. Same distance to either one. Which one do you prefer and why?
Re: BJs vs Costco
I've only got a Costco, it along with Walmart and No Frills are the cheapest for everything here. Wish our Walmart had a grocery section
Re: BJs vs Costco
We don't have a BJ's (what is it?)
We have Cosco or Sam's Club that are both wholesale stores. They are both about the same. Sam's Club is closer but when I was paying for membership, I realized I never went there so I don't pay for it now. We shop at one of the MANY Super Walmart stores and they have lots of generic stuff you can't get at the wholesale stores.
Re: BJs vs Costco
We don't have a BJ's. I would probably go to costco though, I get 2% rebate from my membership and also from my credit card I use there (I pay the full balance every month) so between those 2 things I'd go there.
Re: BJs vs Costco
I have a BJ's membership and while I don't use it a ton, I use it enough to make the membership worth it. The Costco is like a 20 minute drive and I think I may have been in there once.....years ago. I also had a Sam's club membership several years ago, but I did not like that place for some reason. I've had a BJs membership for several years now. I got several things for Christmas from them...they had some really good deals on toys.
Re: BJs vs Costco
I've never been to BJ's(don't have it here), but I love Costco.
Re: BJs vs Costco
I have to hit costco today for:
bum wipes
Re: BJs vs Costco
Costco is too far away so we have a membership to Sams Club which is less than a mile from our home. The main reason is for the gas. It's located across the street from my son's bus stop so I can fill up on my way to pick him up.
I rarely shop in Sams Club though. When I go there I seem to spend way more money than I should :p It seems mandatory to spend $200 and the math on the TP and laundry soap doesn't justify extras I always walk out with.

Credit card is common these days and people find it easy spending with the help of it. It seems them easy to pay and moreover paying by credit card is a fashion today. If you know the worth of this plastic card, you can make your payment at ease and improve your credit rating. But somehow if you neglected the APR of your card, you will be in trouble. On the other hand may be you become the prey of any fraud or scam. Before hiring any credit card facility of any bank please do check their term and conditions. Do not blindly trust what they advertise in their ads, there is always hidden meanings within what they offers you and what you will get exactly.
To use credit card facilities wisely and smartly you can follow some common tips. Always disclose your credit card number, security code and card number who are close family members and you trust them. Do not give your card details to your employees or even to bank callers who may trap you in fraud. Do not keep your card hither and thither, always keep your card safe in your purse when you are out of your home.
Be aware if you are an online shopper, do not disclose your card info to any unknown websites, and always give this information to popular and honest websites. Be smart to avoid any fraud transaction from your card. Being the user of electronic banking, always keep an eye on how much money is being used by your card. At every transaction and usage, bank will notify you by email and messages. If you have lost your card somehow, immediately inform your service provider to seize the payment by card. Because if someone will take help of bank authority he will manage to reset your password and make payment from it. So stop payment of that card and get a new one issued.
To use your card more cunningly and to avoid any debt issue do notify some points. Keep an eye on the usage of your credit card at least once in a week. You can check online the status of your card what is the limit of card? How much you can shop in rest of the month? The bank provides you online statement, so you do not have to hassle to rush to bank every week to get statement. By going through this statement you can decide how much money you will afford to pay and how much money you have already used.
Do check what the status of your bank account is and make sure that at the time of payment you must have sufficient balance in your account. Avoid excess use of credit card but at the same time it is a fact that this card is an opportunity to go cashless. You do not have to keep much cash in your pocket all the time now. Do not apply for so many cards at a time, you cannot use the money of one card to fulfil dues of your previous card. While choosing a bank for applying a credit card, check the credibility and stability of that finance institution. Read carefully their terms and conditions. Pay them timely to take advantages of their discounts and offers. Be a wise and careful user. Look for credit card help online and gain useful knowledge so that you can use your card without any issue and trouble

Sensex, Nifty to open on a positive note
India Infoline News Service | Mumbai | October 18, 2016 08:27 IST
Asian markets opened in the green after days of consolidation as markets seem set to bounce back from oversold territory.
The event line up of US elections in early November & the Fed rate outlook seems to be getting mostly priced in as markets discount the uncertainty.
The major concern of bond yields rising in the US may still be the only imponderable market will have to grapple with going forward. Select outperformance in emerging markets continues to be the theme of 2016 with Ibovespa the Brazilian stock index hitting fresh new 52 week highs.
Nifty broke 8550 with adventurous shorts forcing new recent lows & hitting sentiment in an oversold market. However given the recent improvement in macro's this sell off could be the chance most investors who missed the summer rally to buy stocks. Big corporate deleveraging, low inflation, revival in capital expansion & bond yields at the lowest in 7 years coupled with stable rupee all add up to Indian economy in top shape.
With global uncertainty now seemingly getting mostly priced in we expect November to see Nifty heading back to recent highs after the earnings & US elections play out.
On the political front, the GST council is slated to begin today. RBI minutes of monetary policy meet will be released today.
Wall Street closed modestly lower on Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 51.98 points, or 0.29% to 18,086.4, the S&P 500 lost 6.48 points, or 0.3% to 2,126.5 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 14.34 points, or 0.27% to 5,199.82.
In forex markets, major currencies were confined in broad trading ranges on the back of soggy US data and the absence of fresh triggers. Gold price rose, partly lifted by steady flows into exchange-traded funds and a dip in the dollar after touching seven-month highs. Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said weak productivity, aging population and slow foreign economic growth are holding back interest rates. US industrial output meanwhile rose marginally in September. Oil prices remain at higher levels.

Children's bookclub: Shh! We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton and(28 Posts)
Our second childrens' book club choice books for younger children in March is Shh! We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton.
Chris' last book Oh No George won numerous awards and was highly praised by mumsnetters. Shh! We have a plan has Chris' trademark stark but beautifully coloured illlustrations and funny story. Find out more about how the book came about and how you can access a free copy. The first ten mumsnetters to review the book will win a limited edition signed print from Chris.
Sorry to take so long to review this book! It languished at the sorting office for a few weeks before I could pick it up and then I kept forgetting to log on. Anyway ....
We love this book and DD keeps whispering "Shh, we have a plan" to me It's like her little in-joke and makes me think of Baldrick from Blackadder.
The illustration style is great, and the way that colour is used for the birds especially is lovely. The way that the three idiots keep messing up is eye-rollingly fun, and the bewilderment of the little one is enjoyable. The fact that there are so few words means that DD has been able to memorise some of the story and can join in while I read, which she loves.
Great story, fab illustrations and funny - a big hit here. Thank you for our copy!
This book has been a huge hit in our household - being requested day after day and being looked at independently as well as with me at bedtime.
My daughters both loved the story and the illustration and both fight over who gets to "be" the little one and they collapse into giggles at the end with the squirrel every time!!
Very artistically illustrated, with beautiful tones. Simplistic text and a very cheeky, comical book. My daughter loved this book
When I first saw the book, I noted it had little text and the colours were very simple (two tone blue mostly) and wondered whether the minimalist chic of the artwork was more appealing to adults than very young children. Well, was I wrong! It proved a massive hit with my 18 month old son who insisted on it being read again and again! The bold striking cartoons and repetition had an irresistible appeal to him and it is actually made it to the coveted status of being a bedtime regular that my son will select from the bookshelf. It's clever how it has somehow tapped into a child's psyche and sense if humour so well.
Lovely illustrated book which I could see having appeal to boys and girls.
The story is a simplistic one with minimal words and big full page illustrations.
It reminded me a little of 'We're going on a Bear Hunt', probably in the rhythmic telling of the story.
Very sweet with a moral that's not thrown in your face.
We liked it a lot and will look out for Chris Haughton's other books now
Like previous reviews we enjoyed this book. The story has enough repetition that my toddlers enjoyed anticipating the words, but they did not bore of the content of the book. The simple illustrations were a refreshing change. I would recommend this book.
We've really enjoyed reading this book. The illustrations are great. DD1 loved the story, made me read it several times and kept giggling about it and even started acting it out afterwards. An instant hit!
I'll be looking out for the author's other work.
Our book arrived on Friday and I had no idea what to expect as I hadn't heard of Chris Haughton, or read any of his books to my children. I loved it! I understand that I'm 37 and not totally the target audience but the simple colours and illustrations are really refreshing. Less is certainly more and the short and sweet text is great. The whole thing was a pleasant change from the cartoony dinosaurs etc I see so often. I have nothing against them (we read a lot of the Underpants series...) but to see something really different was great.
Anyway onto a nearly three year old whose opinion matters more... my son saw the book and wanted to read it straight away. He liked the pictures and the fact that there weren't many words seemed to encourage him to tell me the story and describe the men and what they were doing and what would happen next. He found their exploits hilarious and loved choosing his favourite of the birds. We read it several times and when his sister (nearly 5) got home from school he showed it to her and we all read it together. She thought it was 'super funny' too and I can see it staying a favourite.
To any non testers reading all three of us highly recommend it - it's one of the few kids books that has actually made all of us laugh out loud.
I received this book at the weekend. My original idea was just to take it into work and look at it with the children there (I work in a Preschool), and it was left by the front door so that I wouldn't forget it. Ds2 (age 7) found it, and started looking through it, and was joined by ds1 (age 9). they read through it together, and I could hear the giggles. They loved it! They took quite a while looking through it, because they were talking about the pictures as well - the possible pitfalls of the men and their various predicaments. When they were finished, ds2 told me to take it into work, because "the children will really like it, it's a funny book, and the men are very silly"!
I read it with a small group of children who also spent time talking about what the men were doing - said that they were silly, and tried to guess what they would do next - and I think the fact that there wasn't much writing on a page helped this discussion. It's been a hit at my Preschool over the last 2 days, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to be reading it frequently in the foreseeable future!
I loved this book its just right for a 3 year old ...it has birrrrrds... Oh! how Jamie loves his birrrrrrds. The illustrations are really simple but excellent I can really recommend this book many thanks for the free copy.
My little girl was excited by the title of the book and couldn't wait to read it. She enjoyed the story, asked lots of questions and laughed at the characters antics. The illustrations are lovely, the writing concise, simple and repetitive, which my little girl enjoys. We were lucky enough to receive a copy of Oh No George and that book is just as good. Highly recommended.
This is hilarious!
DS1 who is 6 read it before I had a chance to look at it, and DD has packed it to take it into school.
Thankyou MN.
Very funny book, comically illustrated with cheeky expressions on the faces of the birds when they realise they have escaped the clutches of the inept characters trying to catch them in nets. Reminded me a bit of the cartoon "Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines" who also spent a great deal of time chasing after a pigeon without success. A timeless story with illustrations that won't date and can be enjoyed for many generations to come.
I received the book today. Thank you very much indeed. My kids absolutely loved it. The book was easy to read and both my kids ( 4 and 2 1/2 ) loved the colours. The message was spot on, and easy to understand by young children. Will def recommend this book.
Shh! is a delightful book, beautifully illustrated, perfectly pitched and paced. The illustrations are reminiscent of Tove Jansson at her best. The book has already become one of our bedtime staples. DS (2.5 years old) has it memorised and I actually look forward to re-reading it.
I'd never heard of this author before so was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the book. Got it yesterday and waited until after dinner to read it to the kids. They both seemed to enjoy it, especially my son - who I was getting to read along with me. Really lovely illustrations and vivid splashes of colour - will have to get my hands on his other books.
Really enjoyed this book- it is the first one by this author that we have read but we will now be hunting down his other books! There are four of us in the family so naturally the two children very quickly assigned us roles to correspond to the four characters. My 5yr old daughter did her best to help me read along and my 3yr old son giggled at the gorgeous illustrations all the way through. My two children actually went to bed arguing over which of them was the little one in the story. A real winner- would recommend.
Lovely pictures and colours, not sure about the story, didn't make much sense to the kids, even tho they liked to look at the pictures they weren't interested.maybe it will change once they look at it a few more times.
We received this book today and it is beautiful. My daughter loved it - she said she wasn't the little character then quickly changed her mind when it became apparent that the little one was the star!
We received our copy this morning - thank you so much!
DD loved it - the colours are just lovely and the illustrations very striking.
From my review:
'The text itself is quite pared down, with only a few words per page, some of these repeated. This was great for my daughter (aged 4) as she could pick up on the repeated phrases and sound out some familiar words without being overcome by too much text.
I think it would be equally as good for a younger child, with the recurring phrases picked up so they can join in themselves!
It obviously made an impression, as my daughter spent a quite a while afterwards popping her head around door frames, looking very sneaky and 'shhh' ing me!
Enjoyable and lovely to look at - I'm sure we'll be reading this again'
Thank you again - I do love a good free book
Thank you for the book. It arrived this morning.
This is a very clever book. My son was smiling and asked again and again for me to read it. The nice thing about this book is it is simple enough that you can elaborate and add parts to the sorry. The pictures tell the story without the words. My nephew was telling me what he though the people were trying to achieve, which made me laugh.
The images are brilliant and stimulating.
Glad we got a copy, thank you again.
I am a HUGE fan of Chris Haughton's work - am delighted that this one lived up to expectations.
Haughton's narrative is simple yet effective. Repetition of key elements each time the crew creep up on that tempting bird, render this picture book great for reading out loud - we found this really heightened sense of anticipation too!
My full review is here
We have just received it in the post this morning and we have already had multiple readings. The first thing I thought when we were reading it together was Baldrick from Blackadder and his 'cunning plan'. I wonder if that was the inspiration. My ds thought it was really funny. He particularly liked the page with all the colourful birds on it and wanted to know all their names...Even on the first reading he was finding it great fun to anticipate what disaster the three silly billies were going to incur. After reading the story he wanted to know what the words at the back said.... we now have to find 'Oh no, George' for a few readings of this picture book. Thank you for such a lovely book.
Ah, this morning- I see it now. Fingers crossed ours will arrive tomorrow- got two very excited children waiting on it!
Hi, just wondering when your copy of the book arrived as there is no sign of mine yet:-(
