Hands Down?
March 29, 2014 at 10:12 am 9 comments
I recently read about researchers at Duke University who have been busting brain cells to come up with an "invisibility cloak". Well, an acoustic one, anyway. I don't know how many sleepless nights they've spent calculating angles and sound waves but I do know that I could have saved them a lot of trouble.
You want to become invisible? I've got that covered: just be a woman and turn 50.
A recent New Zealand study of 2,000 women found that half over age 45 "felt 'left on the shelf' and judged negatively simply because of their age." Actress Kristin Scott Thomas sums up the dubious rite of passage saying "Somehow, you just vanish." Actress/author Annabelle Gurwitch, who has written a book about aging, claims she could easily get away with criminal activity "because as a woman over 50 in L.A., I'm invisible."
For those of us who were never great beauties or in the public eye, it is admittedly easier. And hey, in some ways, 60 is actually the new 20, if judged by the mystifying parade of zits on my chin competing for attention with all my facial wrinkles. But, God's honest truth, sometimes when I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror, I shake my head and fight the impulse to apologize to everyone I meet for showing this face in public. Is there any hope of bringing veils back into fashion?
The cover-up begins when you notice that your knees have somehow begun to look like knots in an ancient oak tree. And then the inexorable creep of crepe progresses – scarves to cover your neck, cap sleeves to cover your upper arms, then long sleeves to cover all of your arms. I get it; I'm happy to don a drop cloth if necessary so as not to offend.
But no one told me that all this time I should have been sitting on my hands. In a recent Wall Street Journal column, a reader queried fashion columnist Teri Agins as to best nail shades of "older" hands. Until now, I had no idea that showing my hands in public was a punishable offense.
I should have seen it coming. The gossip mills have been sniping away at Madonna for some time now about her hands. She has apparently nipped and tucked every other inch of her body but the ever-vigilant Daily Mail had a field day when they caught her sans the gloves she she has lately taken to wearing.
So this is where I put my foot – er, hand – down. Things have officially gone too far if I have to be ashamed of my hands. For one thing, I'm rather "attached" to them. Can't exactly leave them at home. But it's more than that. I look at these hands, wrinkles, furrows and all, and, dare I say it – I don't hate them. I've held newborn babies in these hands. Once upon a time these hands wiped away tears, baked chocolate-chip cookies and planted daffodil bulbs. They applauded at countless school plays and waved aching goodbyes when my boys went away to college. Admittedly, these hands have written some bad poetry in their day, but they've also played some decent Chopin. True, my hands have never done anything heroic, but they have embroidered samplers, held a violin bow, tied countless pairs of children's shoes and made interminable numbers of school lunches. And yes, those kids are all grown now, but the hands are not idle: there is still plenty of hand-wringing to be done!
So I give a thumbs-up to Ms. Agins for, while acknowledging that nude shades of polish avoid drawing attention to the hands, encouraging her reader to go ahead and wear "vibrant" shades if she wants. Permission granted for a show of hands!
As children, the adage went that we were to be seen and not heard. But women of a certain age apparently have to be careful even about being seen. I promise to go away when those Duke researchers perfect that "invisibility cloak". But in the meantime, I'm going to reach for the red nail polish. These hands aren't going down without a fight!

Great post!

What to say, my hands have more lumps and wrinkles than smooth, but they still work. I drive, make sweet rolls, play bridge, do chores and appreciate the fact I can. I love the nice hands on youngsters but do not envy them. The option of no old hands is not one I want to face –yet.
Great post. And if someone has time to NOTICE another persons' hands, then they need to find something else to do. Or look at. Or…just go away. XO
As a man with the hands of a 21 year old, I do not understand what all of the fuss is about. However, I can assure the Crazy Chicken Lady that she need not worry about her appearance around these parts. She will always be Miss Miami of Ohio (true story) in my life.
Another terrific post. I simply take issue with two things. A) You are extremely beautiful. Dan and I comment on that fact often. B) You have done heroic things with your hands. Raising children in a hands-on fashion and still being able to wave as you launch them off to fend for themselves is quite heroic. (And seemingly impossible from where I sit.)

City & Guilds
UCTuition is an assessment site of Link2Create Ltd
I am delighted to be able to offer, as an assessment centre of Link2Create Ltd, level 1 and 2 City and Guilds Fashion and Pattern Cutting.
City and Guilds Fashion and Pattern Cutting
Courses start on a rolling programme each month throughout the year. The course dates are at the end of the page.
One-to-one study and part-distance learning also available subject to interview.
City & Guilds 7160 2 Award Levels 1 and 2
City and Guilds craft qualifications are recognised for their high standards and commitment to practical skills. Having taught City & Guilds since 1998 and holding a degree equivalent City & Guilds in Fashion myself, I am commited to providing mature students with flexible access to this qualification. If you like structure to your studies this course is ideal for you. I will provide you with constant support to achieve.
With an emphasis on practical skills there is no written project work. You will use a digital camera to record your work (don't worry I will show you how). We will explore colour, texture, design principles, body shape and fit, sewing machine and overlocker skills, garment construction techniques and finishing. You will build a portfolio of instructions and samples to help you make fabulous clothes with stylish individuality and a professional finish. Fascinating background research explores the influences and drives the constantly changing world of fashion.
The Fashion and Pattern Cutting Award qualification is in a modular format across a wide range of garments. You will undertake one module at a time (one garment) but can subsequently undertake other modules within the qualification scheme (across levels 1 and 2) on a rolling programme building a comprehensive portfolio of skills in a flexible way. Qualifications under this scheme are marked at pass, merit or distinction for each module.
Level 1 Award FashionYou will undertake one module (one garment) at a time at level 1.

OMG can it really be TEN YEARS since we waved bye-bye to Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda? We can't believe it but apparently yes it's true: the final episode of Sex And The City aired in the US ten years ago.
It's the show that gave us Manolo Blahnik muggings, frenemies, Cosmopolitans, funky tasting spunk and an overwhelming desire to live in New York. It prompted a million 'Which Sex And The City character am I?' conversations and even more questionable fashion choices (giant scrunchie outfit anyone?).
We can't imagine ourselves ever getting tired of watching (and re-watching) the box sets though; can you think of a better Saturday night in? So despite a couple of (not-as-good) films, we obviously still love the groundbreaking HBO show. And here are a few reasons why….

It's easy to order and send these irresistible chocolates!
April 23–Sept 15: Due to the perishable nature of chocolate, during the summer months we ship via Next Day Air to destinations outside of New England.
We take extra care to ensure your chocolates arrive in perfect condition. We pack each box with special insulation and gel ice as needed. Each package comes surrounded by Lake Champlain Chocolates' signature tissue paper and with a personalized gift card.
If you place your order by 2pm ET it will ship the same day (Monday-Friday). We ship exclusively with UPS, and transit times vary depending on the destination. Please see the map below for the estimated number of days it takes to ship UPS Ground from Lake Champlain Chocolates.

Must Reads of the Week: China's Military Might, the Darfur Debacle, Eurozone Fears, and More

"The reopening of the markets to Greece also means it probably no longer faces a funding gap, which the last official projections by its creditors put at 15 billion euros over the next two years."

"The displays of China's military power reveal some dividends from years of heavy investments, and perhaps a sense that China is now more willing to stand toe-to-toe with the Americans, at least on regional security issues. But American officials and Asia experts say the visits also showed a more insecure side of China's military leadership — a tendency to display might before they are ready to deploy it, and a lingering uncertainty about how assertively to defend its territorial claims in the region."

"Dieu-Beni is Christian, which is why it is odd to find him among the Seleka's mainly Muslim fighters. But like Mousaf, he is an exception — an example of why this conflict cannot be described as religious alone."

"Darfur's combatants, particularly the Sudanese government, have effectively neutered the U.N. peacekeeping mission, undermining its capacity to fulfill its primary duty to protect nearly 2 million civilians displaced by Sudan's genocide. During the past year alone, more than 500,000 terrified men, women, and children have poured into the region's already overcrowded refugee camps."

"America, which badly needs stability in East Asia and a solid U.S.-Japan-South Korea alliance in order to face an assertive—but indispensible—China and an unpredictable North Korea, has been disturbed by the worsening tensions between Japan and its two neighbors under Abe's watch. Although Japan may not be the only party to blame in these quarrels, Washington is increasingly irritated by what it sees as Abe's unhelpful flexing of nationalism that has served only to aggravate an already precarious situation in Asia."
See more in Japan; Politics and Strategy
"There are several lessons that Germany could convey. The first is that reconciliation need not conform to the East Asian ideal. There is a tendency in East Asia to see reconciliation as perfect peace and harmony -- and therefore unattainable -- but Germany's was long, messy, and has not yet ended."

"The troops in Crimea may be the elite of the new Russian military. But the Kremlin's investment, analysts said, has revived the military, which has now shown that it can field a competent and even formidable force, and both guard the nation and project power to neighboring states."

"To replace what they pump, oil companies need to collaborate with state-owned companies that control 90% of the globe's remaining oil reserves, by a World Bank estimate. But governments often give foreign oil companies access only to the hardest-to-develop acreage. Kashagan's large-scale stumble shows how collaborations in these difficult fields can go sour for both sides."

"Katsuyama and his team did measure how much more cheaply they bought stock when they removed the ability of some other unknown trader to front-run them. For instance, they bought 10 million shares of Citigroup, then trading at roughly $4 per share, and saved $29,000 — or less than 0.1 percent of the total price… It sounded small until you realized that the average daily volume in the U.S. stock market was $225 billion. The same tax rate applied to that sum came to nearly $160 million a day."

"By 2020 Mr Abe wants women to occupy 30% of all "leadership" positions—which would include members of parliament, heads of local government and corporate executives. His most practical step has been to try to shorten waiting lists for child care by allowing more private companies into a previously state-dominated sector."

"Five months into his first term in office, President Barack Obama laid out his vision for how American values would guide his thinking in crafting foreign policy. 'We uphold our most cherished values not only because doing so is right, but because it strengthens our country and it keeps us safe,' he said at the time…. The next five years have shown the difficulty that comes when some of those values clash with each other, jostling for dominance."

"Two camps are emerging: one led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which maintains that political Islam is a perilous force that should be confronted; and the other led by Qatar and Turkey's ruling party, which believes in political Islam's ability to transform the region. 'This confrontation has not reached its peak yet,' [Tarek Osman] says. Saudi Arabia's policies might be pursued in the name of stability. But they could well achieve the opposite."

Letters to the Editor
Bobby Clanton writes to urge Ole Miss alumni to pay attention to what's going on with changes at the University and suggests that the time and effort would better be spent addressing other issues. (August 15, 2014, Page 4A)
Political correctness holds heavy hand
Local columnist T.J. Ray takes on political correctness, writing about how the misinterpreted actions of a well-meaning volunteer turned into something completely different because of the way some people sling around labels. (November 20, 2013, Page 4)
Whose help?
Reviews have been mixed since the movie "The Help" came out, and Staff Writer Melanie Addington takes a look at some of the reasoning behind the different approaches. Addington, in addition to her thoughts, gives some from cast members as well as Mississippians involved in the Civil Rights movement. (August 18, 2011, Page 4A)
Seasoned With Salt
Being politically correct, local columnist Jimmy Reed readily admits, is not one of his strong points. He goes to to point out that there are times when it's just not reasonable and practical – when being direct is what's called for in communication. (March 22, 2011, Page 4)

Part 1
It had been almost 2 months since Abhay had saved her from the snake bite. He had taken her hand into his, promising to be her saviour and protector. Her heart had truly settled into his and with every passing day the sensation of his love could only grow deeper. He had been the perfect husband since then, caring and kind yet firm in his beliefs. Always remembering to call in the middle of the day to let her know he had eaten the lunch she had lovingly prepared and they always shared a silent smile over the phone. As their love grew, once again the romance in her heart started playing little tunes and melodies and she had started to look at him more longingly whenever he would get ready to leave in the morning. Watching him button up his shirt, brush his hair and take a proper look in the mirror to make sure he was ready for duty - her singing heart would beat faster the moment he would give her a hug before he left. Her cheeks would flush in his warmth and just a brush from his hands would make her dizzy. It didn't take her long to realise that she didn't just love her husband, she was truly in love with her Abhay.
Yet, as much as she wanted to take her relationship forward, she knew she couldn't do it alone. She would give little hints and gestures to him, such as changing into a well-fitting nightie before sleep, offering him garam doodh (sorry, this story just wouldn't work without it), sometimes giving him a soft kiss on the cheek before he left, even trying to snuggle up to him in bed - yet he never gave any response to any of her efforts. At first she thought he was still somewhat hesitant about it, but as time passed, it started to dawn upon that perhaps he just wasn't that interested. She knew he loved her dearly, but would he ever be able to love her with a passion?
Comm. Uncle had thrown another grand party in honour of their department's great success in their recent missions. Abhay had decided on a sleek-cut black blazer with a dark maroon shirt and a black tie, while Phulwa had herself decked out in a blazing red saree and an almost backless blouse. Red rubies were hanging from her ears and glistening red glass bangles adorned her arms. As Abhay came in to ask her if she was ready, he saw her struggling to tie her necklace and stepped up to help. Phulwa was slightly surprised but nonetheless got up from the chair to let him tie it on properly. As he tied it on, his right hand unintentionally caressed her back, causing her to gasp in response to his light touch. Yet it did not compare to the sudden jolt he felt in his own body, as he stared at his hand to wonder what magic he had suddenly performed.
"What is this feeling?" he wondered. She simply shrugged it off, walking away from him towards the door to fetch her shoes. It was only when she walked out, that he finally realised he had been holding his breath the whole time.
Here's the end of part 1 - please comment below to let me know if you liked it or not, thanks!

Wainwright (1-0), who got the last out against Detroit to help St. Louis win the title, also had an RBI double and scored on Chris Duncan's two-run homer in the third inning to help the Cardinals avoid their first 0-4 start since 1997.
Duncan also had an RBI double in the eighth as St. Louis snapped a five-game losing streak to the Astros.
Pinch-hitter Orlando Palmeiro hit an RBI single off of Jason Isringhausen with two outs in the ninth, but Jason Lane flied out and Isringhausen earned his first save of the season and 250th of his career.
Carlos Lee had a sacrifice fly to drive home the first run for the Astros, who are off to their worst start since they opened 0-4 in 1990.
Wandy Rodriguez (0-1) gave up only four hits and struck out five in seven innings, but still lost his fifth straight decision.
Mets 11, Braves 1
ATLANTA (AP) - Jose Reyes hit two triples and drove in four runs, and Oliver Perez tossed seven strong innings to lead the New York Mets.
The Mets are 4-0 for the first time since 1985, when they opened the season with five straight wins for their best start ever. New York can match that by beating the Braves on Saturday. The Mets won their first four games, including three against St. Louis, by a combined margin of 31-3. They scored six runs in the eighth against the Braves to turn the game into a rout.
Atlanta suffered its first loss after sweeping three games at Philadelphia.
Perez (1-0) continued the Mets' season-opening string of terrific starting pitching. He gave up only five hits and one run and did not walk a batter. He struck out six.
Mark Redman (0-1) made his first start for Atlanta after signing with the team in spring training, giving up nine hits and five runs in 5 2-3 innings.
Diamondbacks 7, Nationals 1
WASHINGTON (AP) - Micah Owings allowed one hit in five shutout innings in his big league debut, and Chris Young homered and drove in four runs for Arizona.
Owings (1-0) struck out six, including Ryan Zimmerman on three pitches with the bases loaded in the fifth. The victory stretched Owings' undefeated streak to 20 starts and made him 13-0 in decisions dating to May 23, 2006: That includes 2-0 at Double-A Tennessee and 10-0 at Triple-A Tucson last season.
Jerome Williams (0-1) went six innings - the first Nationals starter to pitch more than five - and allowed five runs, four earned.
Ryan Church homered with two outs in the ninth for Washington's only run.
Cubs 9, Brewers 3
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Rich Hill retired his first 15 batters and allowed one hit in seven innings for the Chicago Cubs.
Hill's run at a perfect game and a shutout ended in the sixth when Corey Hart led off and hit a fastball deep into the Brewers' bullpen to cut Chicago's lead to 6-1.
Hill (1-0) got all the run support he needed before he stepped on the mound as the Cubs scored six times in the first inning, capped by Mark DeRosa's two-run homer.
Dave Bush (0-1), who won nine of his 12 games last season at Miller Park, allowed six runs, eight hits and struck out seven in six innings.
Phillies 8, Marlins 2
MIAMI (AP) - Pat Burrell homered and drove in four runs, Jamie Moyer pitched 6 2-3 innings and the Philadelphia Phillies earned their first victory after three consecutive losses.
Burrell hit a three-run homer and an RBI single, and Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, who scored four unearned runs thanks to two Florida errors.
The 44-year-old Moyer (1-0) allowed seven hits and two runs before departing after 93 pitches.
Hanley Ramirez hit a solo homer for Florida, which had its home opener and drew 40,397 - its largest crowd at home since the 2005 opener.
Florida's Sergio Mitre (0-1) pitched five innings and allowed five runs, only one earned. He missed most of last season with a shoulder injury.
Reds 6, Pirates 1
CINCINNATI (AP) - Jeff Conine hit a three-run homer and tripled, leading the Reds to a victory that ended the Pittsburgh Pirates' unbeaten streak.
The 40-year-old outfielder, acquired in a December trade to platoon at first base, led the Reds to a win for the second day in a row. Conine also had a game-tying, pinch-hit single and scored the go-ahead run against the Cubs on Thursday.
He homered off Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm (0-1) in the third inning for a 4-1 lead on Friday. He also beat out a triple to the wall in center field in the sixth.
The Pirates opened the season 3-0 for the first time since 2003, but couldn't keep the winning streak going against right-hander Matt Belisle (1-0), who retired 14 in a row over the middle innings.

Celebrity Chef Awarded $8 Million In Gulf Settlement
Who is this chef??:
Mark Schleifstein, writer at NOLA.com has been following claims BP has since paid under what they believe to be excessive and fraudulent.
Here's a copy of the court document I read:
I haven't seen Claim xxx96 mentioned by name.
From the court doc:
Claim No. XXX96: Claimant, a corporate management entity, owns and operates eight
restaurants, only two of which are located in the Gulf Coast Areas (three of its restaurants
are in Las Vegas casinos and one in a Pennsylvania casino), and provides management
services for certain other restaurants. Prior to 2010, Claimant did not have to pay
licensing fees for its famous trademark. In 2009, however, Claimant entered into a
license agreement with another company in the same corporate family, pursuant to which
Claimant was required to pay licensing fees for use of the trademark beginning in 2010.
Claimant paid $3 million in licensing fees in 2010—fees that it was not required to pay in
2009—to another wholly-owned entity for use of the trademark. These fees, and the
large fictional loss they created, are entirely unrelated to the Spill. Claimant also shut
down one of its restaurants in May 2010, and made the decision to do so prior to the
Spill. Claimant was awarded nearly $8.2 million.
re: gaffk
Pretty good guess, I'd say:
I don't know who it is but this is from BP so I am skeptical. I like Chef John Besh and sent a note to him (with a nice reply) about his new show on PBS. Then I saw that BP is a major sponsor of the show and stopped watching.
re: hal2010
I just finished reading it. That state of the gulf announcement def. raised a few eyebrows for the story.
re: pikawicca
Because not everything BP said is wrong. People have a tendency to jump on the bandwagon (good or bad). Let's take the Toyota's sudden unintentional acceleration as an example. There definitely were people faking it and try to make money:
re: pikawicca
Because people take advantage and lie and class action suits need to be watched over. Because paying out false claims is just as criminal.
re: Veggo
Couldn't agree more. And this feeds into why cases like this go on forever and ever. Lawyers (love em/hate em) have the advantage of time (while earning) that most of us average Joe's don't. So, V, my cringing extends to the lawyers as much as the bastards who have nothing better to do than steal money they didn't lose. Legit claims, no issue.
The layers of representation starts to unravel...I don't know if Emeril's actually rec'd any of that money but he'll certainly be used as an example of abuse now.

Faiveley Echezeaux 2001 750ml$137.24
Faiveley Puligny Montrachet Hameau De Blagny 1er 2011
Faiveley - Burgundy - France - Cote De Beaune - Puligny Montrachet
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
There are few white wine grape varietals as famous or widely appreciated as the Chardonnay, and with good reason. This highly flexible and adaptable grape quickly became a favorite of wineries due to its fairly neutral character. This neutrality allows the wineries to really show off what they are capable of doing, by allowing features of their terroir or aging process to come forward in the bottle. As well as this, most high quality wineries which produce Chardonnay wines take great efforts to induce what is known as malolactic fermentation, which is the conversion of tart malic acids in the grapes to creamy, buttery lactic acids associated with fine Chardonnay. Whilst the popularity of Chardonnay wines has fluctuated quite a considerable amount over the past few decades, it seems the grape varietal allows enough experimentation and versatility for it always to make a successful comeback.
In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.
French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
The historic and utterly enchanting French region of Cote De Beaune has been producing what are widely regarded as many of the world's finest wines for centuries. The wine industry in Cote De Beaune predominantly revolves around the cultivation and processing of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which flourish under the hot summer sunshine which typifies the area. Mineral rich soils, sea breezes and centuries of experience and expertise help in growing these characterful grapes and transforming them into something truly remarkable. Cote De Beaune white wines tend to be intense, packed full of fascinating fruit flavors and plenty of mineral character, thanks to the fine features of the terroir being expressed through the juice of the Chardonnay grapes. The red wines, on the other hand, are very good indeed - light, fruity and irresistible.

In an extraordinary session, the state senate and assembly passed a bill Friday that would give them the final vote on any new gaming compacts.
Under current law, Gov. Jim Doyle can negotiate with the 11 Indian tribes without legislative oversight.
Doyle says he doesn't need 132 negotiators, and the compacts couldn't get done if the Legislature was involved.
Doyle hasn't said if he will veto the bill.

I've done a clean install of ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my HP ProBook 4540s. I've done it several times, but now there was something different. I had windows 7 on it, which I've removed by formating the partitions at the installing. I've made a 300mb fat32 efi partition for boot a 3gb swap area and an ext4 for root/home.
Grub did not work, as usually, so I've done the boot repair, using live boot from a USB. It still won't work. Grub does not want to show up. It said something like I should set my system to boot from sda1/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.
How should I set it? What could fix this problem.
Thank you.
