"We have formed the new front based on a common minimum programme and also to fight the upcoming Assembly elections," said Dr Nara. Manipur will go to polls on March 4 and 8 to elect a new government as the term of the current Congress Government in the State will expire on March 18 next.
Meanwhile, Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi's son Okram Kenedy (Surjakumar) is likely to contest the Assembly election from Khangabok constituency in Thoubal district. In the last Assembly election, his mother O Landhoni was elected from the constituency.
Memorial service: RIMS Hospital Victims Memorial Trust on Friday organised a memorial service in memory of the nine innocent people who died in an indiscriminate firing by CRPF personnel 21 years ago in the RIMS campus on January 7, 1995. Family members of the victims and others offered floral tributes at the memorial.
Speaking on the occasion, member of the trust, Moirangthem Subashchandra said people of Manipur are against the torture and killings by the Indian armed forces under the garb of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958.
It may be mentioned that in 1995, a team of CRPF personnel stationed at RIMS campus lined up nine people including an MBBS student from Arunachal Pradesh and fired at them in retaliation for an armed attack on CRPF jawans by unknown armed men.

Acute pain even after surgery
What should i do more ? after having suffered for more than 10 years of severe back pain , I decided to undergo surgery. I had a decompression, stabilisation and fusion using latest medical instruments in titatium. Unfortunately my case has worsen and now it's daily acute pain. Is there any remedy left please ?
2 Responses
artit you say you just had surgery and you feel worse. there are lots of things that cause pain. after surgery. bending not doing your exercises, getting in and out of bed wrong. not walking. I hope you are wear ing a brace when you are up and setting. I had surgery a year ago and somtimes I still have muscle pain at times. the most important thing that you can do would be dont bend over squat or get down on a knee. good luck. If you are really concerned go have your surgeon take a xray and see if his work is ok yet. good luck

Benson has been busy for decades. He puts out an album about every two years (26 albums, 10 Grammys, and many awards) and tours over half the year-a life he agrees with a chuckle, is not for everyone. He takes a little time off here and there but doesn't for-see retiring. When asked how he does it, he answers simply, "coffee". He has a new album, "New Routes" and is hosting The Texas Dance Hall Tour in November-saving the history and legacy of epic music venues is a passion. Since he was the original inspiration into the ACL Music Festival, we thought it was perfect to chat with him this week. He plays every year on the main stage on Friday. Here is what he shared with us (in his unforgettable deep bass voice).
(Shorefire Media)
What do you think of all the huge changes in our city?
I think it's inevitable and the town has changed quite a bit. It's a combination of things- decrease in affordability of real estate, the type of people who come to town is different, the traffic. I had to sell my studio after 27 years. Compared to L.A. and other cities it's still a great city. My grandfather bitched about the cost increase of things from 1920 to 1970, but I focus on things that can help our quality of life- solving traffic problems with mass transit and highway improvements, remote work, etc. There are solutions. I would love to have the train (Metro rail) go to the airport but might not happen in my lifetime. There are good things though, I love Central Market and Whole Foods- my neighbors started it-with access to great organic food.
You started out your career in iconic Austin venues like the Broken Spoke, Threadgills, Gruene Hall.
Yes, I started in 1973 at the Armadillo, Broken Spoke, Shoal Creek Saloon and were the first touring act at Gruene Hall in 1975. The first place, which is gone now (last month) was Hills Cafe on Saint Elmo road in South Austin. It's important to preserve the remaining venues and it's why we're doing the Texas Dance Hall Tour. They need help with repairs.
We still love playing the Moody Theater (ACL Live), Broken Spoke, etc. and we were the first show to play ACL Live. It's sad that some of these great venues might not be around.
What's the story on the Nashville vs Austin music scene and are we losing great songwriters and musicians?
Yes, we are brother and sister. Both have a great variety of music of different genres. Nashville has the infrastructure for the writer, and Austin doesn't. If someone is good and can break into the mainstream, they can get a publishing deal and get some money and hit the big time. There are 12 publishing companies there. Here, it's more for the solo artist and bands doing it on their own. There's a benefit of doing it on your own and doing it your way.
Love the new album cover and the Avett Brothers song.
Yeah, we have a new band, new members, we change them out like Fleetwood Mac (laughs). Katie is our new fiddle/vocalist. We started by doing a demo in the studio and then decided to make an album. It's based on swing music, some folk, rocknroll. The album was actually done and then they sent us this song ("Willie Got Their First" an ode to Willie Nelson by Seth Avett), and I sent it to Willie, he loved it. We were in town at the same time and recorded it and added it to the album (released in September). Check out the song. Check out the band.
How did your sound start and how has it evolved?
A hundred people have been in and out of the band. We are basically a string band with fiddles, steel guitar, bass drum, sax, clarinet, vocals with rhythms based on swing and 40s music and rockabilly and we put it all together. We're a little Willie, Andrew Sisters, Buck Owens, and Merle Haggard. Everyone who comes in the band adds their own twist to our songs and we keep evolving-as long as we can convince talented people to come on the ride. (Why wouldn't they?).
We recently covered the Beto-Willie rally in Austin. Do you get involved in politics and events?
I'm the one who introduced Beto to Willie. I texted him and said this guy is good and we first jammed at COTA at Willie's 4th of July Picnic this year. I had to be in California during the rally for my sons wedding and there was no way I could miss that. Read more on Beto and his momentum for Texas Senator.

On being Texan
I moved to Texas to become a Texan. There are some things that are purely Texan, that one can learn. We are an oil state with a strong economy because of it. We are aware of that. But Texas includes all type of people and values. You can be a vegetarian, and still have Texan qualities (pride, manners, helping neighbors, kindness, southern hospitality) and we have a unique and diverse outlook of fairness, equality, inclusiveness, independence. You can be a writer or an artist- with UT we attract creative people from music, literature, film, and art. Rouchenberg (Robert) is from Texas. The history of Texas is important and that of Mexican Americans. Michener came here to write his famous book (Texas). I met him and it's a good book. His books are all based on history, with some fiction.

Why Am I So Angry?
It is easy to think we should always be happy and that our sadness and anger is lack of education or poor mindset. It is in fact human to experience a range of emotions.
The art is learning how to experience them without imposing their affect on others. I believe the answer is to listen without judgment and let them have their space without letting them take up all your time and thinking.
Many find it hard to listen to anger, sadness or pain. It causes them to experience discomfort and so they stop listening and invariably the person telling the story suppresses that emotion instead of simply acknowledging and releasing it in the process of sharing.
And some let their emotions out either without concern for the impact or simply unaware of the pain it causes because they are able to listen to it and it doesn't impact them.
We are all different. I often feel the pain of others and I have to release it or it stays inside me. What about you? When you listen to someone being angry or sad what happens to you?
Thank you Mark
I would like to thank my husband who is always so patient when I hit this point. It is familiar which makes it frustrating but today I am choosing to simply be fascinated that I am back in this familiar place and grateful I can get back out. At least we know why it is happening and can and do quickly get ourselves out of it.
The Power of Sharing
When I have time to share my story or time to reflect, I can and do make better decisions. I am also a nicer person. Despite knowing sharing works, I don't always have someone to talk to in the moment. So I park the feeling and get busy and sometimes forget.
Today I woke and I was 'really' angry. It had been brewing most of yesterday and yet I ignored it.
Give angry space
When I gave angry my attention I noticed it was inside – tiny angry red face in my stomach. By the time I had finished writing/sharing/reflecting the red face had moved to my head and now my whole face was red. (metaphorically speaking)
As soon as as I saw my face red, it made me smile and I knew what the problem really was. One I was all in my head. It was all about the way I was thinking about the weekend and that was impacting how I felt and how I used my time.
And I smiled even more when I realised the angry red face was what I wanted. Only I wanted the red face to be from a really good workout that blew away the cobwebs. There is a saying that one of my clients uses which is "What you think about you bring about it"
I often say "Be careful for what you wish for" If you do not communicate with absolutely clarity you might actually get what you asked for just not in the way you wanted.
What brought it out was the fact I subconsciously knew I wanted to train. I had mentioned going to the beach last night but Mark didn't seem that interested so I let it go. Then today I became really frustrated because Mark was going out mountain biking today without me because I committed to work and encouraged him to go, saying I am busy. What I didn't do is listen to my desire to swim or workout yesterday.
I was saying I am working ALL weekend on the "FREE 7 Day Clarity Challenge".
Chatting with purpose
As I chat/write to you, my story revealed that during the course of many conversations, watching TV, reading and client sessions this week somethings had sparked curiosity and some pain.
I have a metaphorical wicker bin that I throw Sheryl's Crap in when I am working with clients and often by the time I have finished a session the stuff in the bin has dissolved and or resolved itself. And the weekend is also my time to process and let things go. When I don't have time for that or when lots of things come in at the same time the content of the bin get transferred to critic headquarters filing cabinet at the front of my head.
Stuck Behind The Listening
When I park and file my emotions like this, it works but only for certain lengths of time.
It is all too easy to get stuck behind listening, listening to everyone else and neglecting to share/listen to your own stories.
I guess that is why I write and why I am now blogging daily again and it is why I run Clarity and Confidence Retreats to give others space to off load their stories and edit them and only put back that which is useful and serves them.
As I push myself outside my comfort zone again with new challenges I am having more buttons pushed and more things end up in the bin and it would seem even more things are ending up in the critic filing cabinet.
When I fail to stop and share those stories with myself or someone else they build up and get stuck in my system which doesn't serve me. Today they arrived as anger, and it could have easily showed up as tears and or overeating.
What I know now is that I was telling myself a victim story of I am 'working all weekend' and my critic knew that I had somethings in my system that needed releasing and the way I was talking was inferring there wasn't time to share.
When I listened I also realised that my body is craving movement, heart beating activity that makes my face red. My soul is craving the sea and fresh air and I have cabin fever. I feel like I have been glued to my laptop for weeks. (I haven't, I just feel like I have)
Plan, Progress Praise
It is now 11.30am. I have been writing and editing this blog for 3 hours. Ironically it has taken much longer to process on my own than it would have been with someone who is skilled to listen. But that is where I am today.
What I do know is this. Even if I went to bed at 11.30pm I have 12 hours. I can actually do 5 hours of fun and relaxing soul nourishing stuff. I can have 3 hours cooking and that still leaves me 5 hours to work on the course. So my story is no longer "I am working all weekend" it is updated to I am working 5 hours today and I have already spent 3 hours nurturing my soul too.
That feels so much better and I can't wait to be red face and enjoying a swim in the sea as the summer starts to roll away and we move into the season of Autumn here in the UK.
What about you? How are you today?
The invitation today is to listen to your feelings, locate them if you can. Consider if they have a shape or size. That feeling is like what? And what would that feeling like to have happen? Whatever feeling or emotion you notice I would love to hear about your experience.
For research for book number two Do, delegate or Ditch – I would love to know if there is a relationship between your current feelings and the story you are telling yourself about time?
Please share below your thoughts as google likes to know you like me or join us for more private conversation in our closed Facebook group Manage your critic
If you are struggling to be heard and understood and it is preventing you from doing your best work and living your best life then please do book a FREE 30 minute call today to explore your next best step. Alternatively if you want to work through the process in private and would like to know when the FREE 7 Day Clarity Challenge will be available you can sign up here
I might be part of the solution you need and I might not, but by the end of the call you will you know your next best step. Or you can purchase a copy of my book here if buying in the UK. Alternatively you can go to www.smile.amazon.co.uk and purchase a copy here. If you don't yet have your amazon associated with a charity I would love if you would support Square Pegs Charity. A local charity that I support as trustee and patron.

Another great read Sheryl and I truly understand the anger. When I teach, I talk about the anger that is left behind, after the original negative emotion has long-gone. Despite knowing it, I still experience it on occasion.
Being left with anger at yourself, for feeling angry or impatient or lacking confidence/ the ability to speak-up or put your needs on a level peg (or a host of other emotions) is not helpful but it seems to be a common destination, especially amongst women.
Acceptance, rather than judgement of our (perfectly human) emotions, prevents the retention and build-up of our secondary-anger which, let's face it, is a far happier option but it does take commitment and effort to get to that place. But, once we understand that we do have the choice, there's a whole bunch of help out thereto help us…including your lovely self 🙂 Lxx

Dad Locked Out Of iPad For 25 Million Minutes After Son, 3, Tried To Guess Password
There've been plenty of studies in recent years examining the relationship between screen time and mental health, particularly among children.
There hasn't, however, been any investigation into the effects on a parent's health when their three-year-old locks them out of their device for 25 million minutes by guessing the passcode incorrectly too many times.
One person who might be able to shed some light on it though, is US journalist Evan Osnos, who took to Twitter over the weekend to share the results of his kid's handiwork.
Evan wrote:
Uh, this looks fake but, alas, it's our iPad today after 3-year-old tried (repeatedly) to unlock. Ideas?
The photo showed Evan's iPad saying: 'iPad is disabled try again in 25,536,442 minutes'.
For those wondering, that's about 48 years and 6 months, or 17,733 (ish) days, which is quite a wait when all you want to do is watch compilations of old Vines and fails on YouTube.
There were, naturally, some helpful suggestions from fellow Twitter users.
One suggested:
Next time just give the kid the passcode.
Another helpful soul said:
i would just wait it out
While another, thinking outside the box, said:
Reboot your 3 y.o.
While it seems the younger generation grow up to be increasingly more tech savvy than their elders, it seems this three-year-old, and their long suffering dad, has got a little way to go.
Let's just hope Evan's kid wasn't as desperate to get their hands on an Apple product as Xiao Zheng, from China, was a few years ago.
When Xiao was 17, he sold one of his kidneys on the black market so he could afford a new iPhone and iPad.
He was reportedly paid 22,000 yuan (£2,000). The consequences, however, were serious and life-threatening, as Xiao – now aged 25 – needs round-the-clock care due to complications since the surgery.
Speaking to CNTV, Xiao Zheng said:
At the time, I wanted to buy an iPad2, but I didn't have any money. When I was on the internet, I had a kidney agent send a message, saying that selling a kidney can give me 20,000.
The teen wanted to hide the procedure from his family, and travelled to Hunan Province alone, where he was met by the surgeons who carried out the operation to remove his kidney. He was discharged after three days.
After the operation, Xiao Zheng's health deteriorated and his wounds became infected. He now reportedly suffers from renal deficiency, is dependent on kidney dialysis to survive, and has to live on benefits as he's unable to work.
Think I'd rather wait the 25 million minutes.

Facing the Shadow: Chief Nyamweya distills the Art of Unlearning
"It's hard to stay calm when your life is in danger — even when your life depends on you staying calm. For most of us, the only difference between coming face to face with a hungry lion and a bank account that reads "$0.00" is that an ATM machine doesn't bite and you die a bit more slowly.
Modern human beings live as atomized units solely responsible for their own rent, living expenses and taxes with little to no safety net. It is a radical departure from our hunter-gather roots from which we are yet to recover judging from the rise in depression. To be without money for a modern is like a hunter gatherer without a tribe. Both are in mortal danger, and both face the same survival anxiety characterized by abdominal pain and emotional distress
For the adult human being who comes to terms with this cruel reality of modern life, the only question which remains is:

"Huge shoutout to Hannah and Nate for creating Wired Creatives and an even bigger thanks to them for helping me take the leap and create my own brand so I can follow my dreams and travel the world FULL TIME. Honestly, I always wondered how others were able to travel when they want and where they want while making money at the same time.

- Michelle, New Jersey USA
"Structure, routine and strategy, ladies and gentlemen. Those 3 elements have made me enjoy the ride so much more, and I see and do MUCH more in the places I visit, when I stick to the plan. (Thanks again Wired Creatives) Thanks to Wired Creatives, I now have a much better and more efficient routine. And THAT is what you need as a creator and digital vagabond. Believe me - that was my biggest struggle, and the overwhelming realm of social media can seem intimidating when you are starting out! WC gave me the kick up the behind I needed, when I was almost at the point of giving up creating what I wanted to create.I know I will stay on the road as a digital vagabond, and I made a promise to myself of hurrying up slowly, and keep working on my brand. The clarity gained, the structure I now have thanks to WC makes it much easier and more enjoyable.
Ive done research, Ive tried other programs, but this is all I ever looked for in one neat, well made package. Really! I have my own lovely webpage now, I stick to my upload schedule on Youtube (2 videos every week), and I have 20 something drafts for blogposts, ready to be scheduled once I launch my blog on my webpage. MOMENTUM!
Thanks guys"

"Marketing was a new-found passion of mine that I discovered in college. After graduating, I went straight into working a 9-5 office job. Within two years, I was burnt out and found myself wishing I had not started this lifestyle at such a young age. I remember thinking I have so much potential, creativity, and passion for what I do, and I was stuck in a small business with two other employees who were twice my age. I tried to convince myself I knew work is not always fun, but I found myself seeing friends going to happy hours or Instagram influencers promoting and traveling the world. I remember thinking I was miserable with where I was at with my life compared to everyone else.
This past January I started absorbing all the information that Wired Creatives provided me with, and I could not have been more awestruck by everything I was learning. The freedom, the ability to work remote, and the flexible hours were all very attractive. Eventually, after months of doubting myself and my ability to branch off on my own, I gained the courage through Wired Creatives to start my own freelance marketing company.
It was very scary thinking about leaving the security of this job, but as it turns out, it was not as terrifying as I made it seem to be in my head.
Now, I work completely remote, and best of all, I still do all the marketing for the small business I was working at in the past! Along with that, I have taken on three new clients in the span of a couple months. Without Wired Creatives I don't think I would have ever gained the courage to begin my journey of becoming a freelance marketer"
- Catherine, Colorado, USA - https://www.dausdigital.com/
"After the course and following each step, I had more than 4000 likes on my Facebook page, have a small email list of 50 people and enough clients for 3 months. Not bad! By the way I travel full time now! I am in Montreal right now, and heading to Europe next week!"
- Moe, QC, Canada - https://www.moebn.com
"I joined this group when I was first planning to go travelling with my partner. We bought a one way ticket to Asia and wanted to work online, because why not? Roll on nearly 2 years later and we now run our own digital agency where we work with 6 & 7 figure clients from all over the world. In the last 2 years we've lived in Thailand, Bali, Spain, Budapest and the UK. I'm not saying this to boast or to make anyone jealous, I'm saying this because this group started it all for us. We both discovered this group and realised what was possible if you put the work in.
I want to give a major shout out & thank you to Nate & Hannah without them and this community I don't know if we'd be doing what we are today. If you are wanting to travel & live remotely, I seriously recommend that you utilise all the valuable information that's shared in this group. It's all here, you just need to find it and take action"

"OMG!! I've just returned home from a two month Europe road-trip in my car! While I've been away, I've been writing a lot about, where I've been, what to do and things to see etc. Meanwhile a local production company have stumbled onto my blog and liked my posts. They have just offered me a free-lance scriptwriting job for their luxury travel show soon to be airing on Netflix! This is a small dream come true, just had to share my news with this community! As some of my friends don't get why I started a blog or why I'm trying to branch out on my own! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Hannah & Nate! If it wasn't for one of your sponsored posts to join a webinar, I would never had had the courage to start my blog and this would never have happened - YOU GUYS ROCK!"

Tom Evans Column -- Madaffari pushes herself to complete New York Ironman
Recommended Video:
The average person tends to expand their athletic horizons by swimming a few laps in a pool, taking their bicycle out for a spin on the country roads, or running a few miles on some local trails.
Lauren Madaffari, the former field hockey and softball standout at Brien McMahon High School, is not your average person.
After completing her undergraduate studies in kinesiology and rehabilitation science -- with a focus on exercise science and lifestyle management -- at the University of Hawaii at Manoa a semester early last December, Madaffari was looking for her next challenge before taking on a master's program in public health at San Diego State University this fall.
Once again, when many of her peers are thinking about traveling by plane, train or automobile, the 22-year-old 2008 BMHS graduate used the next seven months to travel by water and bicycle -- albeit under her own power -- and foot to train for the 2012 Ironman U.S. Championship on Aug. 11 in and around New York City.
Madaffari's latest adventure began in earnest when she didn't find fulfillment at her initial college destination.
"When I went to the University of Hawaii, they didn't have field hockey," Madaffari said of the sport she gave up when she transferred from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute after two years in Troy, N.Y. "I started running on my own, and I ran the Honolulu Marathon in December, 2010. I needed another goal, and I ran my first half triathlon in June, 2011. I was the youngest competitor at the half triathlon, and I finished third in my age group. I wasn't trying to place, and I had so much fun. Everybody was giving so much energy, and working so hard."
She said triathlons, not surprisingly, are a big part of life in America's island-chain paradise, and Madaffari wanted in on all the action.
"A year ago, in June, I knew the registration for the (New York championship) was filling up in like 10 minutes, and I wanted to be a part of it," Madaffari said. "Triathlons are a big deal in Hawaii, and to do them you must feel so strong about anything else you do in life."
After coming back to her hometown early this year, Madaffari began serious training.
"I started training seven months ago," Madaffari said. "(Over that time) I took two days off, if that. I didn't miss a beat. It was tough. I was lucky I graduated a semester early so I had the time. I worked. I trained. Friends were going out, but I couldn't go with them. I had to get up at 4:30 Saturday morning and ride my bike six hours, then run an hour. Then I have to get up again on Sunday morning and do it again. Through this training I've been empowered with strength I never would have tapped into otherwise."
Among the changes to coming back to the East Coast was swimming laps at the Wilton Family YMCA, which was quite a change from the sun-splashed pools of Honolulu.
"It was a tough transition," she said. "It was dark at the pool with the dome on, but it worked out."
Last Saturday began with a 2.4-mile swim in the Hudson River, toward the George Washington Bridge. Despite some warnings of some garbage being dumped into the water, there were no problems as Madaffari covered the distance in 45 minutes, 46 seconds, second in the 18-to-24-year-old division.
"It was fine, although sometimes I felt the bridge wasn't getting any closer," Madaffari said. "It went well."
A somewhat surreal changeover in gender-specific tents between events helped her clear her head for the 112-mile bike ride.
"There were all these naked athletes," Madaffari said. "And there were all these volunteers helping the athletes change, and smearing vaseline on them so they wouldn't chafe. People were screaming. I just put on my helmet, someone rubbed sunscreen on me, and I took off."
Madaffari rode a Cannondale Slice named Kiwi the Piwi -- it has smaller-than-normal wheels to fit her, and has green highlights -- and took to the route on the New Jersey side of the river.
"I have a really great bike, and the Palisades are hilly," Madaffari said. "On the uphill, I would pass a group of guys because I'm lighter, but because they are heavier, they would pass me on the downhill. A guy behind me at the end of the bike ride -- when I just wanted to get off that little seat -- said 'do you think you have enough in you for the run?' You're not supposed to say that!"
Her time of 6 hours, 43 minutes, 26 seconds put her in first place in her age group two-thirds of the way through the Ironman.
Just hearing Madaffari describe the marathon leg of this grueling day was draining, and it had to be as much a mental battle as a physical one.
"The first 12 miles were hilly, and it was really tough," she said. "The pros were struggling. It was a tough first 14 miles, but fortunately I love hills. I had a smile the whole time, and that might have annoyed people. It flattened out at the (George Washington) bridge, and that was the 16-mile mark, and I couldn't eat any more. I started to spit stuff up, and it was hard to take water."
Madaffari recalled that both her parents, Joe (McMahon's athletic director) and Eileen, had completed the New York City Marathon when Lauren was a youngster, and the flood of memories from that experience was almost too much as she crossed the suspension span.
"I got really emotional," she said. "There were probably 800 people on this one corner, and I was hysterically crying as people were cheering my name, which was on my bib."
After six more grueling miles, Madaffari was able to handle some ice. Then it all became a blur.
"The last four miles -- I can't remember them," Madaffari said with a laugh. "It went by so fast. "They were all switchbacks. I saw four guys I saw before, and they were suffering so much. I'd never seen human emotion in such raw form before.I was hysterically crying again. I was the second-youngest female in the field, and I was so emotional."
Somehow, some way, through the tears and sweat -- it was in the mid-80s and humid last Saturday -- Madaffari found familiar faces in the throngs of adoring fans.
"Two-hundred meters from the finish I saw family and friends," she said. "Complete strangers were screaming your name. They are supporting someone, and they know how important that support is for you. When the announcer calls out 'you are an Ironman,' words can't describe it. I was dancing, high-fiving. Medics were around me asking if I need oxygen or an IV. I said 'no, I'm so happy.' I was hugging the volunteers."
As medical personnel were giving her intravenous fluids, all Madaffari was thinking about was one thing.
"I went to the medical tent, and they were asking me questions and poking me with needles and taking my temperature, all I wanted to know was my time," she said. "I was yelling 'does anyone have an iPhone? I need to check my time!' I finally got to my parents, and my brother (Chris, a cadet at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs) was tracking me. He told me I was in first place in my age group."
Madaffari covered the 26.2 running miles in 4 hours, 29 minutes, 56 seconds, giving her an 11-hour, 17-minute, 3-second overall time to top her age division.
What that also means is that Madaffari will get to fulfill another dream in just a few short weeks.
"I flew over to the Big Island (Kona) for the Triathlon World Championships in October, 2011, and I was cheering and crying with the friends and parents," Madaffari said. "I said I want to be here. When I was first in my age group, I qualified for the World Championships on Oct. 13. It's not even a question. I feel a little guilty that some people have done seven, eight (triathlons) and not made Worlds, but it's not even a question. I'll take a week of recovery, then start training again."
Madaffari knows that, aside from her mini Australian shepherd, Kona, she has the lifestyle to take on these demanding events.
"Triathlon is a selfish sport," she said. "I'm fortunate that I'm not married, and I have no children. I'm not leaving any obligations. Kona can stay alone for my 25 hours of training per week."
Madaffari hopes that her "selfishness" may yield something beyond times and fitness.
"I'd like to think that through my selfishness I will inspire someone," Madaffari said. "I blog, I write thoughts. At the end of the day, if I inspire someone to do something that didn't think were capable of, it will be worth it. People say 'I wish I was able and in shape to do that,' and they are. Anything is possible with heart. If you want it enough, you will make it happen."

Strange Days Are Here – Psychic Computers Now Record Your Memories
Strange Days Are Here – Psychic Computers Now Record Your Memories" width="560″/>
What would happen if we really could record what a person sees? Would dealers sell mind's eye memories like Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) does in Strange Days, or would editors make them into movie memorials like in The Final Cut? Thanks to a breakthrough by neurologists at the University of California, Berkeley, we're about to find out.
At last month's Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago, researcher Jack Gallant presented the results of an experiment in which a person's brain activity was used to recreate what the person was watching when the activity occurred. Researchers already use brain scans to reconstruct still images, but Gallant's ability to play back moving images takes us much closer to some freaky scifi scenarios.
You know how it works in the movies (SQUID recordings, Zoe Implants, "the Hat"). Here's how it works in reality: First, Gallant and his colleague Shinkji Nishimoto captured the brain activity of two test subjects as they watched videos using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Then, a computer program linked patterns of activity in the visual cortex with movement and colors in the footage. The program also "watched" over 200 days' worth of YouTube videos and, based on the mapping data it collected earlier, predicted what kind of brain activity these videos would produce. Finally, the computer monitored the brains of the same two subjects as they were watching a new movie clip. For every second of brain activity on the new scan, the computer merged the 100 YouTube clips most likely to produce similar activity. By doing so it created a crude copy — a bootleg, if you will — of what the volunteers were watching.
"Some scenes decode better than others," said Gallant. "We can decode talking heads really well. But a camera panning quickly across a scene confuses the algorithm."
As of now, the technology wouldn't have Lenny claiming to be "the magic man." The recordings aren't even good enough to pass off as bootleg dvds — hardly what Lenny would call "real life, pure and uncut, straight from the cerebral cortex." But, according to Gallant, "It's going to get a lot better."
Like those developing scanning technology in Brainstorm, today's "neural decoders" are concerned about how their work will be used when it does get better. In the movie, once the scientists opened the door to the mind, the military took over. Of course, today's scientists hope it will help patients with a neurodegenerative disease to communicate, or solve crimes by helping eyewitnesses report exactly what they saw — which sounds good unless you've seen Minority Report, in which Tom Cruise is framed for murder using just such technology.
Even if it doesn't reach a quality level where people might want to buy the footage, corporations might. McDonald's and Unilver are already using fMRI scanning to better "understand" their customers, and Lockheed Martin reportedly studied the possibility of scanning brains at a distance. The take-home message? Keeping your thoughts to yourself might not be so easy in the future. In the interest of privacy, studios might need to start copyrighting movies in their minds.
The proliferation of Twitter and Facebook suggests that people won't mind sharing when the time comes — assuming they're aware of what's going on. What do you see happening once scientists have the ability to playback what's on your mind? Think about it now. Later, you can play back the memory and find out if you were right.Read More

A photo taken in Vietnam in 1968 reveals a 90's Girl Baldhead Hoe Shit Shirt man launching an object into the air, striking uneasy parallels with images of athletes. But the reality behind the grenade-throwers pose is brought home in the accompanying label. According to McCullin: "He looked like an Olympic javelin thrower. Five minutes later this man's throwing hand was like a stumpy cauliflower, completely deformed by the impact of a bullet."
90's Girl Baldhead Hoe Shit Shirt is available in all styles
Much is conveyed in a one-line title or the private vocabulary of body language. One of McCullin's photos from Biafra, taken in 1968 when the war between the separatist state and the government of Nigeria had created a humanitarian crisis, shows seven children in a group, ribs poking through their skin, each with a piece of paper stuck to their foreheads.
See it here: https://moteefe.com/store/sbt-2019-nba-all-star-celebrity-game-shirt
90's Girl Baldhead Hoe Shit Shirt, Hoodie and Sweater designed by Gravartees
It bears the chilling caption 'Those chosen to live'. In a picture from the same conflict, also taken in 1968, a man in uniform leans over a fellow soldier, his palm gesturing as in an intimate conversation. But despite appearing to smile, the other soldier isn't listening. In the photo's description, McCullin explains: "I saw the commander bent over one of the dead soldiers and talking to him as if he were still alive. He was praising the man's courage and thanking him on behalf of the Biafran nation. It was moving and alarming at the same time."
That taut balance between shock and sadness explains the power of many of McCullin's photos. A series of images taken in a Turkish village in Cyprus confronts us with overwhelming grief. "I was met with the warm blood of two men in front of me," McCullin says in the photo's description. "In fact, there was a 90's Girl Baldhead Hoe Shit Shirt father and his two sons. Suddenly a group of distraught people came in… A woman entered screaming.

Guys keep making noises in our ears about the fact that ladies are very indecisive about what they want. The point the keep going back to is the fact that they "shave" all their brow only to draw it back which of course isn't totally true.
Don't get it twisted; ladies only shape their brows to make it easier to draw it accurately. Unless you're like some people we know…
The way guys were complaining about the brows, what would they have done if we were in the 1920's or 1930's?
But on a real, those times the eyebrows were so funny. Lets go back in time to acknowledge the eyebrow trends that have occurred.
1920- Thin and rounded
The '20s was the beginning of very extreme beauty routines for women everywhere. Eyebrows were no longer to be left in their natural state. Thin brows were considered very chic.
1940 – Full and Natural Arches
Wartime American meant makeup, while still glamorous, become quicker and less dramatic in the '40s. Many women were working traditionally masculine jobs for the first time in their lives to replace the labor force taken by World War II.
1950 – Brushed Arched Brows
Eyebrows remained thick and arched, using makeup to fill them in since they became more popular then, as compared to decades before.
1960 – Short and Simple
Thanks to Twiggy's (an English model, actress, and singer) signature lashes, brows were treated as more of a sideshow
1970 – Thin Arched Eyebrows
Thinness slowly crept back into popularity in the '70s. More room for sparkly eyeshadow, maybe? Whatever the cause was, the '70s brows were all about natural shape, not a lot of filling in, and a slender arch.
1980 – Bushy Brows
Thick brows were back again in the '80s, but unlike the '50s and '60s, perfectly shaped brows were not the style. Instead, stars like Brooke Shields and Madonna led the movement as bushy, unkempt "caterpillar" eyebrows became all the rage.
1990 – Pencil thin brows with curved arches
Seems like people were fed up with the bushy brows trend and once again, pencil thin brows (their first love) once again came into vogue.
2000 – Thin and Short Brows
While the super-skinniness of the brow started to lose popularity, other bad grooming trends picked up steam. Instead of making brows thinner, many people began making them shorter
2010 – Bold brows
Thickness is once again the hallmark of a healthy, beautiful brow—our obsession with eyebrows revolves around the bold, thick brows of celebrities like Cara Delevingne, Kim Kardashian, and Lily Collins.
2015 – Instagram Brows
The onset of the #OnFleek revolution. IG became the go-to destination for brow inspo thanks to beauty influencers.
2017 – Weird Brows
We can't really tell how these came about
- Feathered arches
- barbed wire brows
- lighting bolt brows
- boxed brows
- wavy brows
- rainbow brows
- braided brows
- Nike brows
- Split brows
2019 – …well….
Since the year just began, we are hoping to see more creativity…no matter how absurd they might look.

Ukraine Elections Special: Ukraine Under Tymoshenko Would be Headed for Uncharted Waters
- 4.3.2019 07:20
Yulia Tymoshenko was the first out of all serious contenders for the Ukrainian Presidential seat to announce her candidacy, which allowed her to swiftly mobilize her supporters. In recent days, however, she was surpassed by the comedian Volodymyr Zelensky and the current President Petro Poroshenko in the election polls and fell from first to third place.
Yulia Tymoshenko began her political career in the times when Ukraine was going through its tumultuous transformation from the Soviet Republic into a sovereign democratic state with a market economy. Tymoshenko proved her political competence on multiple occasions, became PM twice and was one of the standard-bearers of the so-called Orange Revolution. Up to this day, she remains one of the key figures of the Ukrainian political scene.
While Tymoshenko has vouched to pursue Ukrainian integration into NATO and the EU, at the same time, one of her main campaign aims goes against policies imposed by the IMF
Her campaign summed under the catch-phrase "New Course for Ukraine", is centred around two main topics – security and economy. She criticizes the current government for Ukraine´s economic situation, that is characterised by high costs of living, caused mainly by the gas prices coupled with low pays and pensions. The economic policies of the Poroshenko administration are, however, largely shaped by the demands of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This fact brings into the light the fundamental contradiction of Tymoshenko´s campaign promises. While she has vouched to pursue Ukrainian integration into NATO and the EU, at the same time, one of her main campaign aims goes against policies imposed by the IMF. However, IMF´s policies ensure the country´s solvency and fulfilling the IMF´s demands is a key step on the road to further integration into Western structures.
Tymoshenko criticises President Poroshenko for his failure to secure peace in Eastern Ukraine. In her campaign, she outlines her "new strategy for peace and security". The main policy aim in this sphere should be a revision of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, in which the US, Great Britain and Russia provided Ukraine guarantees of security in exchange for the denuclearization of the country. Tymoshenko seeks to enlist German, French, Chinese and EU support for the memorandum, however, none of these potential members have made moves towards accepting such propositions and Tymoshenko´s plan for peace fails to outline any actual policy decisions, that would bring her closer to fulfilling her aims.
Her campaign is surely ambitious; however, it mostly remains in the realm of pompous proclamations and is short on actual solutions
Tymoshenko also seeks to revive diplomatic relations with Russia, however, it is unsure, what implications would such a course of action have for Ukraine. As a member of the Ukrainian parliament, Tymoshenko did not vote for the condemnation of Russia as an aggressor state, the demand for its withdrawal from Donbas or the annulation of the Russo-Ukrainian Treaty of Friendship of 1997.
Tymoshenko is surely a talented politician, however, her Presidential campaign shows signs that there will likely be discrepancies between her rhetoric and actual agenda. Her campaign is surely ambitious; however, it mostly remains in the realm of pompous proclamations and is short on actual solutions. Tymoshenko claiming the Presidential office would bring about a great deal of uncertainty – something, that will be welcomed by the Kremlin, but not by Ukraine´s partners in Europe and likely not even by the Ukrainians themselves.

Taco Stroganoff
Taco Stroganoff is a spin on our popular Hamburger Stroganoff recipe! This is the perfect quick and easy meal for your family on busy nights. It has a ton of flavor from the seasoned taco meat and corn. Plus, it's extra creamy from the secret ingredient, cream cheese! It's served over traditional egg noodles.
The BEST Taco Stroganoff!
It's that time of year again! Back-to-school and back to a regular routine. Are you guys ready? With the weather already changing here I'm getting in a fall mood and I'm excited to do "real" cooking again! You know, recipes that are comforting and cozy and great for busy weeknights now that the kiddos are back in school. This Taco Stroganoff is a new favorite and it's perfect for this time of year.
My mind is on all things fall! Now I want pumpkin and apple treats and cozy dinners. Remember my Hamburger Stroganoff recipe? Its definitely a reader favorite, so I decided to mix it up a bit and make this Mexican-inspired Taco Stroganoff version! I'm pleased to say if you are looking for a little zip to your stroganoff this one won't disappoint! It comes together quick and easy (a must in my life!) and it will spice up your regular old rotation at supper! If you like twists on tacos you need to check out my Taco Casserole, too!
Instead of beef simmered in a rich mushroom gravy, this Taco Stroganoff is a creamy and hearty noodle dish with seasoned beef and lots of cheese. It's a fun way to switch up regular beef stroganoff (and perfect for taco Tuesday!) and will satisfy everyone's appetites.
What ingredients do I need to make Taco Stroganoff?
- onion
- ground beef
- taco seasoning
- water
- canned corn n' peppers
- cream cheese
- cheddar cheese
- cooked egg noodles
How do I make Taco Stroganoff?
- Brown Beef – in a large skillet, brown the beef and onions until the beef is cooked through. Drain the fat and add the taco seasoning, water and corn and peppers and cook them together for a couple of minutes.
- Mix Taco Stroganoff Mixture – add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and is warmed through.
- Prepare Egg Noddles – boil the noodles according to package directions. Drain.
- Serve – Spoon the Taco Stroganoff over the noodles and serve.
What tools do I need to make Taco Stroganoff?
- large skillet or pan
- large pot for boiling the noodles
- spatula
What is the difference between goulash and stroganoff?
Traditional goulash is more of a stew that is made with beef and vegetables and is flavored with paprika. A traditional stroganoff is also made with beef, but it's simmered in a rich sauce made with mushrooms and it has sour cream in it to make it creamy. I have a delicious beef stroganoff you can make in your Instant Pot!
Obviously, I took some liberties with this Taco Stroganoff! It's different, but cooked and served in a way that's very similar to stroganoff! I like to use ground beef because it cooks fast (and it's hard to mess up!).
What substitutions can I make for this recipe?
You can substitute ground turkey or even ground chicken for the beef in this recipe. For the cheese, you definitely want to use cream cheese but you could switch out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack cheese to switch up the flavors.
You could also switch out the noodles and serve this dish with rice!
Got Leftovers?
How to store Taco Stroganoff: If you have leftovers, they will keep well for three to four days in the refrigerator. I like to portion them out into small containers so they're easy to reheat for lunches! If you're not going to use up the leftovers in that time frame, you can freeze them. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container and they should keep well frozen for up to two months.
How to reheat: The easiest way to reheat your leftovers in the microwave. Just vent the container and cook them until they are warmed through. You can also reheat them on the stovetop in a pan, but you may need to add a splash of milk or water to thin the sauce.
What goes good with stroganoff?

Easy weeknight dinner with a kick. Omitted the water and used plain Greek yogurt in lieu of the cream cheese to make myself feel better nutritionally.
Could this be made in an Instant pot? What changes would be needed?
My kid's race to the table when it's taco stroganoff night!
A new family favorite. Way better than traditional stroganoff! So tasty!
Yum! Looks delicious and simple. My kind of recipe. : ) Had to Pin this!!
This is so delicious
What is the quantity for the noodles? How many cups/ounces? Also, do you precook them or do they cook with the other ingredients?
Just tried your recipe this evening! Great meal and quick too. I omitted the water and used 1 can of original Rotel which gave it an extra little kick. Nicely done. Wonder if there is a substitute for the cream cheese? Thanks again for sharing!
Julie: I love both Mexican-inspired foods and stroganoffs; can't wait to try this. I plan to experiment a bit with the vegetable ingredient, substituting seasonal garden-fresh produce I have for the canned corn. I bet leftovers will be superb the following day for lunch.
Made this last night after seeing it on Pinterest and it was SO GOOD! My picky three year old even liked it!
A dearly deceased friend & wonderful cook made something very similiar to this minus the taco seasoning. Its so easy & delicious!! She called it Plantation Supper

LONDON – Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho says there is "no chance" he will sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic and no need because he has Harry Kane, "the best striker in England."The Swede is available as a free transfer after leaving LA Galaxy and is close to Mourinho, having worked with him at Inter Milan and Manchester United.
Ibrahimovic helped Manchester United win the Europa League as well as the EFL Cup playing under Mourinho."Amazing player, amazing guy, but I would say no chance," Mourinho told reporters on Monday."We have the best striker in England. It doesn't make sense to sign him when we have Harry Kane."

Do you know the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick?
Hint : It only takes about 20 seconds.
Hint : Almost everyone can do it.
Hint : It's not expensive.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the answer is "WASH YOUR HANDS."
Clean hands -- and clean cooking utensils and surfaces -- are your first defense against food-borne illness.
Like washing your hands, most of the things you can do to help prevent a food-borne illness are really easy. Here are 10 simple food safety tips, that together spell F-O-O-D S-A-F-E-T-Y.
Fight bacteria by washing your hands often. Wash for about 20 seconds with hot, soapy water BEFORE fixing or eating foods and AFTER using the bathroom, changing diapers, handling pets, coughing or blowing your nose.
Only thaw perishable food in the refrigerator or the microwave. Never defrost food on the kitchen counter. Cook food immediately after thawing in a microwave.
Order perishable takeout foods so they're delivered shortly before serving. Whether takeout or prepared at home, avoid letting foods such as meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, eggs, cut and/or peeled fruits and vegetables sit at room temperature longer than two hours.
Divide leftovers into small, shallow containers for rapid cooling in the refrigerator.
Set your refrigerator to run at 40°F and your freezer at 0°F to help stop harmful bacteria from growing. Keep an appliance thermometer in your refrigerator/freezer to monitor temperatures.
Avoid cross-contamination. Wash cutting boards, knives and other utensils in the dishwasher or with hot soapy water and rinse with hot water after they come in contact with raw meat, poultry and seafood, and before using them for another item. Avoid placing cooked food on a plate that held these raw foods.
Fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned before eating. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly with running tap water just before eating. This includes fruits and vegetables that you peel or cut, such as melons, oranges or cucumbers. Bacteria adheres to the surface of these and can be transferred to the part you eat when it is cut or peeled.
Eat foods that you know are safe. Most of the bacteria that commonly cause food-borne illness can't be seen, smelled or tasted. When in doubt, toss it out!
Take the temperature of perishable foods such as meat, poultry and seafood to assure harmful bacteria are destroyed. Cook hamburger and other ground meats (veal, lamb, and pork) to an internal temperature of 160 F and ground poultry to 165 F. Beef, veal and lamb steaks and roasts may be cooked to 145 F for medium rare and to 160 F for medium. Whole poultry should be cooked to 180 F as measured in the thigh; breast meat to 170 F. All cuts of pork should reach 160 F. Thoroughly cook fish until it is opaque and flakes with a fork.
Yolks and whites of eggs should be cooked until firm to avoid possible food-borne illness from salmonella . Store fresh eggs in their original carton and use within three weeks for best quality. Use hard-cooked eggs within one week -- do NOT return them to the egg carton for storage. Refrigerate them in a clean container.

"Tale of the Walking Boots" a legend in Palouse History
By Bob West
March 19, 1998
A tragic event happened in this area in 1889 that leads to the story of a haunted house and the "Tale of the Walking Boots" . A local farmer poisoned his wife, son and daughter and then took his own life with a gun. One member of the family survived. The personal property of this family and the farming equipment was sold at a public auction and the house abandoned.
This house became known as the Haunted House on Cedar Creek. (Grinnell Road). Neighbors and even some townspeople reported seeing someone walking from to room at night carrying a lantern. Some people even claimed they heard moaning and sobbing sounds coming from inside the house. The "Someone" was never identified.
The house mysteriously burned to the ground one night. Prior to the fire, and the auction sale, a nearby neighbor bought a pair of fancy, very expensive boots. He immediately put them on and wore them the rest of the day. At bedtime, he took them off, left them on the living room floor and went upstairs to bed. About midnight he was awakened by a strange noise, like someone walking on a wooden floor wearing heavy boots. Convinced he was dreaming, he went back to sleep. This happened several more times during the night. No other members of the household heard this strange noise. After hearing this several nights in a row, he sold the "ghostly "boots to his hired man for a dollar more than he paid for them.
One day the hired man was sent to town for supplies. Seeing his chance to show off his new boots, he decided to wear them to town. After his duties were finished, he went to a saloon to have one drink and brag about his boots.
One drink led to another, and by this time, there were several customers listening to his boasting. The bartender tired of all this talk talk and asked him if these were the famous "walking boots." The hired man apparently did not know the story, so the e bartender rendered his version of the tale. Upon completion of the story, the hired man got off the barstool, sat on the floor and removed the boots. Barefooted he left the saloon and walked to the bank of the Palouse River and threw the boots in and watched them float away.
This "haunted house" and "walking boots' belonged to Roland Johnson, local farmer and Civil War veteran. Upon his discharge from the Army, he migrated to the Oregon Territory where he met and married my great aunt Louisa McConnell, 17 years his junior. (Louisa was a sister to my grandmother Mrs. George (Olive) West, who some in this area will remember.) A son William was born to them in 1875. A year later they moved to the Palouse Country and made their homestead on Cedar Creek, a few miles north of Palouse City. A daughter, Ora, was born in 1882.
Roland was apparently a successful farmer and a devoted husband and father. What happened July 6, 1889 shocked everyone in the area.
One of the neighbors was on his way to Palouse City to pick up supplies and being a good neighbor, he stopped to see if the Johnson's needed anything from town. He knocked on the kitchen door several times. Nobody answered. He turned to leave when he thought he heard someone crying softly. Opening the unlocked door he saw no one, but again, heard crying. It seemed to be coming from upstairs. He climbed the stairs and was horrified when he saw the body of Roland Johnson on the hallway floor. He had been shot in the head.
He stepped over the body and looked in the one of the bedrooms. Ora was lying on the bed, covered with blood. The body of her mother was on the floor. In another bedroom he found the body of 13 year old William.
Seeing that Ora was alive and needed immediate help, he frantically ran out of the house, got into his wagon and went for town. He informed the city marshal of the event and together they found a doctor and headed back to the farm.
Ora was still alive. She had been shot in the head and the bullet had passed back of her left eye and came out the right one. It was truly a miracle she was still living. It was later learned the seven year old had been lying in that condition since the day before. She recovered, but was blind for the rest of her life.
The county sheriff and coroner were called and the events of the previous 24 hours were pieced together. Mr. Johnson, then 55, had planned to take his own and his family's lives. He made a pitcher of lemonade to serve his family. Into each glass he put a lethal dose of strychnine and extra sugar to help hid the taste of the poison. William and his mother must have died almost at once, but little Ora could not keep the lemonade down so she did not get enough poison to take her life, just enough to make her very ill.
It was assumed that after he had served the drink, he went back downstairs, wrote a note about what he had done and why (the though he and his family would be in a better place if they were not longer o this earth) and tacked it on the front door. Going back upstairs, he found the bodies of his wife and son, but Ora was on the floor writing in pain. He then put the pistol to her head and pulled the trigger. Thinking he had completed the job, he stood in the hall and turned the gun on himself.
The oldest sister of Louisa and her husband were wealthy farmers in Heppner, Oregon and were appointed Ora's legal guardians and administrators of the estate. They came to Palouse and made arrangements for public auction of the farm and personal property.
Ora also inherited her mother'' share of the McConnell estate in Lane County, Oregon, so she had ample funds to care for her for the rest of her life. She was sent to the Washington State School for the Blind, where she received her education. She spent her summers and vacations with her friends and relatives in Oregon and Palouse
My dad told me he could remember her visits and she was a very happy person and seemed to enjoy life like anybody else. In her mid 20's she was diagnosed as having epilepsy and since there were no treatments for the disease at the time, it was just left o run its course.
As the seizures became increasingly worse, she was sent to a hospital in eastern Oregon where she spent the rest of her life. She died in 1920 at the age of 38, the same age as that of her mother when she died.
Ora is buried beside her grandmother, Mariah McConnell, her father Roland Johnson, Mother Louisa and brother William in the Palouse Cemetery. In the early 40's vandals destroyed the headstones of Roland and his son, and these headstones were replaced by my grandmother, Olive McConnell West. The original stones of the woman are still standing.

I had to use boot-repair once on a dual-boot computer with Linux Mint and Windows 8 and it actually fixed the boot sequence so I could get back into my windows 8.
Boot-repair is a program to keep in mind!
Get boot-repair from Sourceforge.
Scenario 1:
You can still get into linux but not in Windows or anything else, install the program by copy/pasting these lines one per one in the terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install boot-repair
Scenario 2:
You can not get into any operating system. Download the iso file of boot-repair. Burn the iso on dvd or burn it on usb.
Try booting with it. You may need to change the BIOS booting order.

Some weeks before Christmas, I was asked if I would take part in a fund-raiser for Cancer Research UK and I wasn't really sure that I would be able to afford the time, so it was pleasant to find that a commission I had planned for immediately after the New Year - a pair of Verdura-inspired cuffs - was to be delayed by about 10 days and I set to work on my plan. The brief - for Cursley & Bond's gallery in Folkestone - was…Continue

Good evening all,
I do know that you are all hearing of Aretha Franklin's passing but let me set this straight. At this time there is only news of the Queen of Soul being in hospice and close to leaving us to join God's choir. Someone on social media has once again jumped the gun without conformation. I have been watching the internet and news very closely for any updated information. The last I found was 2 hours ago posted by CNN and the article states she is in hospice and the Dr's expect her to leave us by morning! I am asking you all to do your due diligence and check out information before you post on social media.
All of us at the Caffeine and Fashion radio are truly saddened by the news of Aretha's condition and send our love and prayers to Aretha, her family, friends and fan's. Please THINK and RESPECT before you post!!!

Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney engaged in a Live Chat through the Globe and Mail website a week ago, which allowed Canadians to ask questions to both the minister and Rob Oliphant, who is the Canadian Liberal Multiculturalism critic.
A series of well-rounded questions were asked, and several questions sparked miniature debates between Kenney and Oliphant. Questions included whether there were plans to increase or decrease the number of newcomers per year (Canada has the highest number of newcomers per capita annually with 250,000 people), how "boat" refugees should be treated, why processing times for family immigration applications seem to differ across countries (for example, spouses applying from South America can wait over a year while spouses from Asia may only wait a few months), whether including parents and grandparents in the family reunification program drains Canada's social systems and how the government can remove the obstacles foreign-trained doctors face when trying to establish their careers in Canada.
With regards to how Canada treats and accepts "boat" refugees, such as those from last year's Ocean Lady, the recent MV Sun Sea docking in British Columbia as well as the very recent arrival of a boat that docked in Atlantic Canada containing refugees, Minister Kenney said that the government needs to create a no tolerance policy in order to get the message to smugglers that those people, who pay them large sums of money to smuggle them, will not be accepted. When asked by the chat moderator when those developments may be seen, Kenney told him to "stay tuned", as the government is working on ideas currently.
An interesting question in particular was how the government plans on spreading immigrants to smaller cities and towns instead of major centres like Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Kenney responded that the Provincial Nominee Program has reduced the number of immigrants settling in the three major Canadian cities from 80 per cent to 60 per cent over the last five years, with increased numbers of people settling in Manitoba, the Prairies and in Atlantic Canada.
Some of the initiatives though CIC have been indeed positive while others problematic as discussed at length in our blogs.

What is studying in the UK like for Chinese students? (part 2)
Xiangping Du, Academic Skills Tutor at the University of Hertfordshire, writes her second guest blog post for Prepare for Success and shares more of her experiences of dealing with the challenges faced as a Chinese student in the UK:
I also had to learn to write in different formats for essays and reports. I can still recall the first piece of work I completed, which was an essay. I thought it was good as I used headings, subheadings, and bullet points as clear signposts. However, I was shocked to only get a mere pass of 40%. I realised I had used the wrong format, and referring to the mark, I was shocked because in China, 60% is a pass, and students would normally achieve 80% or 90%. However, it appears that achieving 80% or 90% is quite rare in English universities, and getting 60% or 70% is regarded as a high mark.
Critical evaluation was another key new concept I had to learn in the UK. In China, we used to believe in whatever was published and regarded it as the authority. However, after coming to study in the UK, I learnt to think and write critically, where I had to look into different facets of an issue and ask questions like a detective. I had to synthesis various views from different scholars, analyse and critically evaluate them before presenting my own 'informed' opinion. This method of critical evaluation is not easy for an international student because It not only requires critical thinking, but also extensive reading from academic, reliable and credible sources, as well as writing skills such as paraphrasing and synthesising.
In addition, I learnt to manage my time and to study independently which are vital skills because students do not necessarily have classes every day. It's all too easy to waste time by watching movies, social networking or playing computer games! This was particularly important when I was doing my PhD research as, apart from only a few one-to-one supervisions with my supervisor, there was not any compulsory class to attend.
A lot of assessments in the UK also involve group-work and managing teams can be challenging. I found working with others from different cultures could be challenging, but gradually I learnt that this experience was very valuable for my professional life, and my English language development.
In all, my own experience shows that academic expectations in the Chinese education system are very different from those in the UK. It is very important for Chinese international students to know what to expect beforehand so that they can fully prepare themselves for their study in the UK. This is why I co-authored our book Study Skills for Chinese Students because I know that such a book would really have helped me so much when I first came to study in the UK. I want to make sure that all Chinese students in the UK have this essential information now, about the differences and challenges of UK study, and the academic skills and techniques expected in the UK.
If you have a question related to academic life and study in the UK and you can't find the answer in the Prepare for Success learning resources, write it on the Question Wall and we will try to answer it here in the blog next time.If you have a question related to academic life and study in the UK and you can't find the answer in the Prepare for Success learning resources, write it on the Question Wall and we will try to answer it here in the blog next time.Leave a comment...

A female driver who was caught up in a crash with Tracy Morgan and his brand new Bugatti supercar on a busy New York street.
Tracy Morgan pounded the window and screamed at the driver of a car that hit his fresh-off-the-lot $2 million Bugatti sportster on Tuesday in Manhattan.
"Bitch get out of the car!" Morgan can be heard saying in video obtained by the New York Post as he punched the window.
Jocelyn Madulid, 61, told that Morgan's reaction frightened her.
"He was yelling at me, I got scared," she said. "I didn't yell anything back. I just stayed in my car."
Madulid told the tabloid that she didn't know who Morgan was until an officer informed her.
According to witnesses, Morgan remarked at the scene how he had just paid $2 million for the white convertible at Manhattan Motorcars.
TMZ reported that he'd driven it out of the lot for the first time just 15 minutes earlier.
Police say both vehicles sustained minor damage and all parties refused medical attention, although photos of the scene showed Morgan sitting in an ambulance.

Ortu Group – Spring 2020
From left to right: Alex Bowles, Fabrizio Ortu, Sara Pischedda, Matthew Stevens
PhD students
Matthew Stevens (2019-2023)
Matthew was born and bred in the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, part of Greater London. He studied chemistry at the University of York, graduating in 2019. He moved to Leicester for his PhD studies in synergic main group/lanthanide chemistry, which brings things to the present day. Matthew has a keen interest in all chemical synthesis, and has been known to dabble in hobby chemistry since starting secondary school. Achievements in this regard include preparing crude potassium cuprate(III) and extracting vanadium metal from its ore. Away from the academic front, Matthew enjoys Marvel films and reading sci-fi books, but also hiking on the Yorkshire moors or North Downs.
Undergraduate MChem students
Alex Bowles (2019/2020)
Alex joined the group as an MChem student working on low oxidation state alkaline earth and lanthanide chemistry. Alex's main goal of his project is to maximise his contributions to the group, even if that is just showing the others the best pubs in town. Alex hails from Baldock in North Hertforshire. Away from the lab, Alex has been a keen rugby player since a young age, formerly playing for the University on a Wednesday and still watching Tigers lose on a Saturday. Alex is also an enthusiastic home-brewer and brings a bit of chemistry into his kitchen at home for his weekend brews, thus making him a very popular addition to the group.
Visiting Students
Sara Pischedda (2020)
Sara is currently carrying out her PhD studies in organometallic chemistry with Prof. Sergio Stoccoro and Prof. Antonio Zucca at the University of Sassari in Sardinia, the same institution of her undergraduate degree (same as Fabs'!). She is studying the coordination of Pd(II), Pt(II) and Au(III) with nitrogen-based donor ligands, and is investigating the properties of these compounds. Sara also did her undergraduate degree at Sassari. Sara is from the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea: Sardinia. After an experience in Manchester in 2019 with David Mills, she has decided to do the second part of her Erasmus+ placement in Leicester working in the Ortu Group. The start of her project in Leicester coincided with the arrival of Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis, thus raising some serious questions about the timing of her staying in the UK.
