Helpdesk Challenge – speed up your PC or laptop
Waiting for your PC or laptop to load files, programs and software can be frustrating to say the least – especially if you forked out a sizeable sum of money for your machine. Instead of heading straight to the high street to upgrade to a newer model there are a few simple tweaks you can try first, from adding extra memory to using Window's own software, ReadyBoost.
Here we take a look at some hardware options for all budgets that should give your computer an immediate performance boost.
Laptop reviews – find out which models top our tests
Go faster with ReadyBoost – from £5
A quick way to get a speed boost is to use a USB memory stick (available from as little as £5), which adds extra memory to your computer in a similar way to adding more Ram.
Once you've plugged it into your computer, select the 'Speed up my system' option from the AutoRun menu. Windows checks the drive and if it's suitable, you'll see a ReadyBoost dialog box.
Tick the Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost box or select Use this device and adjust the slider to select how much free space you want to assign to ReadyBoost (see right). Any remaining space can be used for storage as normal.
Click OK to finish.
Computer features explained – get to grips with all the jargon
Offload files to an external hard drive – from £50
Every document, spreadsheet and photo you save to your PC takes up space on your hard drive. If you've used your PC for a long time, it's likely that its hard drive is now packed with these files. Once it's more than 85% full, you'll probably start to notice a drop off in the speed of your computer.
To free up some room, it's possible to swap your existing hard drive for a larger capacity model. However, a far easier solution is to store some of your files on an external hard drive. They're relatively cheap (1TB models start from around £50) and are easy to use – simply plug the drive into your computer's USB port and it will appear in Windows Explorer as a new drive.
You can transfer existing files to the external hard drive, save new files to it, and some models can even be partitioned so you can use some of its capacity for automated Windows backups.
Best external hard drive brands – see which brands top our satisfaction survey
Install a solid-state drive – from £100
A sure-fire way to speed up your PC is to swap the hard drive for a solid-state drive (SSD), similar to those found in top-end ultrabook laptops. Unlike standard hard drives, SSDs have no moving parts, which helps them to give super fast startup times and performance.
Before you make the switch, be aware that SSDs generally offer smaller storage capacities, so you may need to migrate some of your files to an external hard drive if you want to keep hold of them. They might be the most expensive option here, but they are also the most effective.

These 3 tips will have hardly any effect ion a slow running PC – more real memory wouldn't either, not unless the underlying problems why its running slow in the first place are dealt with – defragmenting your hard drive wont assist much either – I am surprised you ran this article at all.
David – 30 years repairing Slowwwww …. PC's !
As regards the last of the 3 Which? suggests, fitting a smaller but faster hard drive might be difficult as a DIY operation for some Windows 7 users. I have an HP G62 i3 laptop with came with Windows 7 on a 320GB disc – its recovery media only allow the re-installation of Windows 7 to a replacement system disc if the capacity is 320GB or more.
For older machines, my two favourite hardware upgrades are to fit a significantly faster CPU and to make sure the machine has enough RAM (e.g. 1 GB or more for XP, 2 GB or more for later versions of Windows).
This is all very basic stuff, what would be useful is how to clear out the gigabytes of junk Windows Updates and like leave scattered all over the hard drive and the registry.
Whilst there's 100′s of such tools advertised on the internet, it's impossible to know what's safe AND effective and what's dangerous. If you've already covered this somewhere, a link in this article would have been very useful.
Registry cleaners do seem to be a controversial subject on some websites. I've used Ccleaner for several years, because it was recommended by an e-pal who is an IT professional.
To find where all your disc space has gone, you can use the free Windows Sysinternals Disk Usage (DU) comand line utility.
My experience has been that I can usually manually delete most of the junk manually (e.g. by using an Administrator account).
In my user space, redundant duplicate copies of large files has always been one of my main problems. I have found DigitialVolcano's free Duplicate Clearer to be a useful tool for dealing with this.
Keeping proper backups is always a wise precaution before any "extreme" housekeeping operations. For this, I have found that DirSync Pro is a useful free program to use with user files. Backing up (or "cloning") Windows system discs is a good idea too. I have found that Acronis True Image is a good "paid for" tool for this. A free (but less user friendly) alternative is Clonezilla – but that needs to be run as live Linux system and used with care.
On a related issue, does Which? or anyone else have any tips on how to stop unwanted adverts appearing on a laptop screen when you are using sites such as Youtube? Sometimes, they take up the full screen and if I delete the advert, I lose the connection to the site and have to log in to it again. When I signed up to BT Infinity, I thought the adverts would no longer getbthrough, but they do!

The Inner Tradition today ...
In the West, between the two world wars, and after the Revolution in Russia, P. D. Ouspensky taught a highly simplified psychological form, developed by G. I. Gurdjieff, of what we have now identified as one stream of traditional Orthodox thought, although almost certainly with additions borrowed - in ways themselves traditional with the inner teaching - from other forms of inner tradition.
In the 1980's a story was still current in Ouranopolis, the Greek seaside village from which the ferry leaves for Mount Athos every morning, of an old man who travelled round the great monasteries of Athos just after WWII offering the monks new factory-made carpets in exchange for their ancient Turkish equivalent. Whenever I would mention this story to someone with a serious interest in Gurdjieff, their face would light up with a knowing smile, and they would say something such as: "we know who that was."
For those who are unaware of him, Gurdjieff was an Armenian savant known to have taught in Moscow before the revolution, who finally reached as far West as California. Gurdjieff told the students of his strange system that "this is esoteric (or 'inner') Christianity," but without revealing his sources for this information, although a clue is given by the fact that at the end of his life he suggested an attempt to contact those who originated the teaching, and directed that attempt to specific Christian sources. Not surprisingly, this statement had little or no effect: some of his more influential students continue to seek for the source of his teachings in the Sufi masters of the Middle East. Between them, a few men from an Orthodox Christian world - G. I. Gurdjieff, Boris Mouravieff, P. D. Ouspensky and others who followed them -began to define something that my many years of investigation have proved was based - at least in large part - on the forgotten psychological method of the early church. Gurdjieff himself confirmed his debt to Christianity when he told his pupils that after his death, then imminent, they should 'make contact with the Inner Tradition on Mount Athos.'
This was the Tradition I referred to earlier, and included tested means of healing human beings and restoring their psyches to health. This was one of the two practical supports that made the early Christian Church so effective. It was the fact that this tradition never reached the West in 'working order' which made the early Church so different from most churches today.
Although the results of these modern teachers were sometimes remarkable, they never equalled those produced by the early Church. Because of this, someone who grew up in his household reports that, when Ouspensky returned to England in 1946, and when in his honesty he looked at his English students, who during six years or so of war had progressed not at-all, and, after a few meetings at which nobody had any real questions, he said that the teaching had failed, and that it was time to start again from the beginning. The enigmatic and highly capable Gurdjieff, who appeared to be an eccentric teacher of the disciples of an eccentric age, died later than his pupil Ouspensky, but again admitted failure. He did not leave visible behind him anyone of comparable knowledge or ability. "Je vous laissez dans les beaux draps," he said to his students on his deathbed, "I leave you in a fine old mess."Because of his novel way of explaining things, because of his flamboyant and apparently egotistical style of teaching that made it too easy to judge him a charlatan and so avoid the searching questions raised by his very existence, and because he disguised or left out certain Christian dogmas that would have been unacceptable to his students, nearly every committed Christian has ignored him. But he is historical fact, and his influence is indirect as well as direct. The lesson of all these is not that they were in any way inadequate, far from it, they were the best of their times.

One of the things that triggered the investigation that led to this book was this almost ignored claim of Gurdjieff, later confirmed by meeting one of the men who followed up an instruction by G after his death to make contact with the Tradition in a certain location in the Eastern church, a contact which finally came to fruition in 1983. Further confirmation lay in the fact that the Philokalia, the great compendium of teachings of the early fathers that has driven Eastern monasticism since the sixteenth century, and which has waited until now to be proven, was translated into English as an indirect but clearly traceable result of the work of these two men, as a direct result of Ouspensky's friendly contact with a hermit on Mount Athos, a Father Nikon. After O's death, certain of his students visited that hermit, and this contact with the mainstream had considerable effect on Western spirituality, since it was this that led directly to Gerald Palmer's translation into English of parts of the Philokalia. The idea came from Ouspensky's friend Father Nikon in conversation with Palmer, once a student of Ouspensky. Palmer's co-translator in this, also co-translator of the Art of Prayer and Unseen Warfare, was Madam Kadloubovsky, who for many years was Ouspensky's secretary.
It was after several years of investigation into sources on Mount Athos that I finally discovered, much closer to home, the report that Gurdjieff had arranged, only a short time before his death, for a party to go to Athos in hopes of establishing contact with the Tradition whose doctrines he had taught in such a unique manner. This finally convinced me that this statement that his teachings were esoteric Christianity was correct not just loosely, but in many important details, previously unproved because of the difficulties in carrying out an adequate study.
The simplest confirmation of this story, indeed, has been the gradually growing awareness that to make this connection has taken us a long way towards the completion of those then still incomplete teachings, so that they lead to results of a new kind.It is those results, and their ability to meet the inner needs of individuals, that take us back to the personal and so light up the historical aspect of our study, and it is the particular nature of inner study which has led to the need to express not just data but the understandings that have been brought by slow assimilation of that data and conscientious practice of certain of the methods that, traditionally, have always existed alongside it.This book, then, is a detailed study of a single Christian inner tradition in several different forms: in its written forms, some of them nearly two millennia old, and including the Gospels themselves; in its direct modern form that survives in the monasticism of the Eastern church, and in perhaps less complete modern forms, as a lay teaching that in the recent past has taken on different terminology at different times. Accepting that these modern forms are incomplete, the book begins to explore what elements in early texts or monastic practice would be needed to restore something like the original form of this Tradition, and what there was in the psychology of the Fourth Way forms not now available to the West, but essential if there is ever to be a reawakening of spirituality in the Western world.

Continuing Assessment
How individual teachers use data on student performance to adapt their teaching to meet student needs significantly determines their effectiveness. But this Step in the KEYS-CSI process focuses on the collective analysis of student performance across the school and across subjects. The primary purpose of this Step is to identify priorities for school improvement.
This step of the CSI process addresses two tasks:
Using a Framework for Assessment
Analyzing the Evidence
There is considerable evidence that the most effective schools develop a rich means of regularly assessing student learning for purposes of school-wide improvement
Much of the recent research on organizational change, whether it focuses on schools or other types of organizations, shows that effective organizations engage in collaborative problem solving focused on the systematic analysis of the gap between organizational goals and organizational performance. This means that effective organizations must continually call into question what is being accomplished and how the organization does its work. In highly effective schools, improvement focuses on challenges that are illuminated by continuing assessment of the differences between goals for student learning and development and actual student outcomes.
The process of examining student performance and the conditions that influence effective teaching and learning, (e.g. as does the KEYS-CSI process) creates dissonance or disequilibrium that must be resolved. Effective organizations use the stress and tension that derives from continually reexamining both processes and goals in positive ways. Schools that effectively manage the tension and stress around the need to improve do so by fostering continuous learning for both school staff members and students. Hence, it has become common to describe effective schools as "Learning Organizations".
What continuous assessment means in specific terms will vary from school to school, as a profusion of methods are available, including the use of running records, "tuning protocols," looking at student work, lesson study, the inquiry cycle, and many others. The particular procedures that a school adopts matter less than how they embody the basic principles of evidence-based decision-making:
- Assessment must be integrated or aligned with goals and standards, so that the information provided is directly relevant to the learning that is desired.
- Information upon which assessment are based must be supplied in timely and transparent fashion so that teachers can use it in their work.
- Assessments are public and collective. Teachers come together as a community to work out assessments that all will participate in; and the school must create regular opportunities for teachers to present and discuss evidence of student learning in public forums.
Effective schools schedule time for such collaborative assessment practice, making it integral to the work-day and week. Further, building school capacity to make use of evidence is likely to be a priority for school-wide initiatives, including professional development.
Successful schools develop complementary formal and informal assessments and build these into the flow of instruction and other school improvements. Problem solving begins with evidence of the gap between goals and standards and learning outcomes. What does the evidence reveal? Consider, for example, a range of possible outcomes of an analysis of student literacy in relation to high priority goals. Reading achievement seems acceptable overall but disaggregated results show substantial gaps between poor and minority students in the school and their white, middle class counterparts. Or while certain component literacy skills look solid, others are deficient (e.g., students can decode text but when asked comprehension questions, they often stumble). Or more contentiously, third grade results look solid, but fourth grade achievement is deficient. Or, that teachers' informal assessments of learning do not confirm what external test results show.
Because the continuous school improvement process calls for new uses of assessment, which implies new learning on the part of school participants, leaders in successful schools actively create opportunities for the needed professional learning as an integral part of an overall approach to assessment. Furthermore, the school schedule must, and school social. Norms of trust, reciprocity, risk taking, and conflict management rather than avoidance, autonomy and privacy must be established gradually in the school's culture.
In most cases, schools will need to improve the ways that they work with evidence as the fundamental basis for progress. Assessment becomes a central, driving force in the school, moving front and center. To accommodate this shift schools consider:
- how time is organized to provide common time to examine assessment information,
- the development cultural norms that encourage teachers to open both their teaching and their students' learning to public scrutiny,
- how the learning about and from assessment is acquired and made part of the regular working knowledge of teachers and administrators.
In short, effective schools learn how to work with evidence—particularly assessment of student learning—but including a wide range of indicators related to school functioning. Examining KEYS survey Indicator 3.1 (Student Assessment Is Used for Decision Making to Improve Learning), will provide some information about whether teachers in your school believe that student assessment data are used effectively in decision-making about teaching and learning issues. And, whether the school staff feels that it has the preparation it need to engage in problem solving and decision making is examined in KEYS survey Indicator 4.8.

Paltrow's Record Deal Crumbles
Remember right after the movie Country Strong came out that there was talk about signing [lastfm link_type=""]Gwyneth Paltrow [/lastfm] to a record deal. Well I'm sorry to say
The deal ain't real. It wrinkled like a bad suit. Collapsed like a house of cards, what else? I told you back when, that she was close to a deal to record a country album. But someone said, "Atlantic bosses were very interested, and [Atlantic owner] Warner chief Lyor Cohen was very supportive. But then the talks halted and the deal fizzled out. I betcha money had something to do with it. What'd you think? Opps! Here it is. There was a rumor that Paltrow wanted $1 million to sign, but that is a ridiculous figure. Atlantic is still interested in signing her." Paltrow's handler's said, "Atlantic was not the only company pursuing her, and she still has not decided if she wants to record an album," adding, it "is still something she is considering." Well excuse me.

Kennet Council Tax
Kennet Times Spring 2006 from Kennet Council
Where does your money go...?
by Cllr. Chris Humphries,
Leader of the Council
As Leader of Kennet District Council, residents sometimes ask me: "What do we get for our money from Kennet".
It occurs to me that many of you may be asking yourselves the same question so, on the following pages, are some facts and
figures about what we do....
Refuse and Recycling services - 32p per week
"Street Scene" services - 23p
Environmental Health and Protection - 24p
Housing Services - 19p
Council-run Leisure Services - 39p
Planning Services - 22p
Transport services - 8p
Local taxation and benefits - 23p
Other services - 37p
If you were to add up all the council
taxes per week given in the tables you
would find that it totals just Ł2.27 per
week. I do not know what others will
think about this, but for me this represents
excellent value for money for all the
council tax payers in Kennet.
So Kennet provide all these services for a household for about Ł120 a year - (breakdown) The police cost about the same, and the firebrigade about Ł50 so what does Wiltshire County Council spend the Ł900 it mulcts from us on?

Unmasks the tough, street-smart persona of Charles Bukowski—America's "Ultimate Outsider"
- Amazing letters filled with passionate, literary, and personal observation - Insights into the author of Tales of Ordinary Madness, Notes of a Dirty Old Man, and Run with the Hunted - Insights into Sheri Martinelli: the protege of Anais Nin, an accomplished painter, and the mistress of Ezra Pound Charels
Bukowski's persona as the Dirty Old Man of American Literature is just that: a persona, a mask beneath which there was a man better read and more cultured than most people realize.
Sheri Martinelli was one of the favored few for whom Bukowski dropped the mask and engaged in serious discussion of literature and art, and for that reason the discovery and publication of his letters to her give us a more complete picture of this complicated man.

The IWW and Music: Creating a Working Class Counter-Culture
north america / mexico | culture | feature Friday March 26, 2010 16:49 by RudolfTB - Counter-Power (Norway) rudolfbj at gmail dot com
This article discusses how the early IWW used music both as an organising tool and as a means of developing a sense of community among its members. It puts these activities in the context of the politics and practical activity of the IWW during this period.One of the main reasons for the establishment of the IWW in 1905 was a recognition that there was a need for a revolutionary labor union that could organise on a national level. The industrial tactic that the IWW promoted aimed at creating cohesion in the working class and ensuring that union organized workers would stand together and support each other when there was a strike. It was important for the IWW to organize groups of workers that others were hesitant to organize and in some cases directly hostile to, for example women, unskilled workers, unemployed workers, black workers and immigrants.
In their struggle to promote their politics, the IWW was a singing union. From 1910 to 1960 the IWW's songbook, still in print, was regarded by many workers as one of their most beloved possessions. The songbook was one of the IWW's most important documents and its songs were sung in numerous situations: around hobo campfires, in boxcars, in Wobbly halls, in the streets, on picket lines, at strike rallies, in court, on the way to jail and in jail. The songs were a crucial aid in recruiting new members, and they were important in building a sense of fellowship and in keeping spirits up in hard situations

Direct action refers to members of a community engaging in activities for their mutual benefit, without seeking permission or assistance from the rich and powerful. As we will see, while more indirect approaches often appear attractive, ultimately such reliance on the favors of the wealthy breeds apathy and resignation. In this article, we will briefly consider one example of direct action, a community infoshop.

2 Photos
Renewable Energy Solutions company BritishEco Ltd was having a number of problems updating their old website, which was built with WordPress (lots of third party plugins) but implemented in a contrived way. BMON used my services again to rewrite the website template and give the design a updated feel. The site now uses many of WordPress's amazing features to edit most of the site from the admin area rather than third party plugins.
The site uses WordPress/XML/HTML/CSS/php. The site uses WordPress as a CMS (content management system).

Beachwatch 2013 - a great success
On Saturday 21st September Amgueddfa Cymru ran their annual Beachwatch event. This involved fantastic family science activities in the morning attended by 41 members of the public and seven members of staff. Participants looked at strandline and rockpool animals and seaweeds as well as fossilised corals and snails. Inspired by the fossils and shells that they had seen, the children went on to create wonderful pieces of artwork using Plaster of Paris on the wet sand of the beach.
After lunch, the volunteers gathered to clean the beach and do a litter survey recording all the items they found. The beach clean was attended by 59 volunteers including many of the families from the morning activities.
The results will be sent to the Marine Conservation Society who will collect the data from this beach and hundreds of other UK beaches that were cleaned this weekend. As well as making the beach safer for people and marine life, the Marine Conservation Society also use the data to find out where beach litter comes from and contribute to marine conservation.
As you can see from the photo we found a lot of rubbish including 9 tyres, half a canoe and a traffic cone! A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers, Ogmore Beach now looks even more beautiful!
3 days to Beachwatch!

A species new to science!
A new species of marine bristleworm (polychaete) has just been described in a collaboration between Amgueddfa Cymru and the East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Shanghai. The species is a type of shovelhead worm, a group that get their name from the flattened head region used to burrow within sand. The new species was discovered in the Jiangsu Province of the Yellow Sea. The new species is called Magelona parochilis Zhou & Mortimer, 2013 and was published this month in the scientific publication, The Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.
