Install Vivaldi in Linux - Awesome Multi Platform Browser
A new browser is on the market. Vivaldi is a web browser based on Chromium / Blink (A project from Google), especially created for users who "have problems fitting all their open tabs on one screen" and for better performance than the existing browsers Chromium and Chrome. The browser is started by Vivaldi Technologies, whose chief executive and founder is John von Tetzchner, the former CEO of Opera. Vivaldi is currently supported on Linux, Windows, and OS X systems.
Vivaldi is currently offered as a tech preview and it's powered by Chromium with a number of features that reminisce Opera's glory days, among them are the speed dial and mouse gestures.
"Most browser makers in the market are trying to make a limited browser, maybe with extensions. But that is not what everyone wants," von Tetzchner said. "As an example, there are still about 20 million people still using Opera 12, even though that browser is more than three years old. There is a need for a browser for the tech user, the user that wants more from their browser."
The story behind the story: Vivaldi appears to be an attempt by Tetzchner and his team to remake what they believe Opera should've been. Before it became a browser, Vivaldi was an online community for dispossessed Opera users after Opera Software shut down its community site in late 2013. Vivaldi, the browser, also contains many Opera-like traits including Speed Dial, a built-in mail client (still under development), and built-in note taking.
Von Tetzchner isn't the only former Opera employee at Vivaldi. "There are about 25 people at Vivaldi, while the technical team is 18 people. Half of them are former Opera people," he said. The initial browser runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Mobile versions will follow, but Vivaldi doesn't have details yet, von Tetzchner added.

It aims to bring the quality of Opera 12.x, all with a modern look and various optimizations to make web surfing easier and faster. Vivaldi has a modern graphical interface that includes a customizable toolbar tabs with integrated menu, the sidebar in which we can quickly access bookmarks, download manager , email client (not currently available), contacts etc.
Note also the tab bar, the color of which changes according to the default color of the website (for example, we will have linoxide site as blue color), features that we can still turn on or off in the preferences of Vivaldi. As for Opera, also in Vivaldi we can find the speed Dial, previews of the tab and trash to restore recently closed tabs, below we also find the zoom controls in the next updates will also provide synchronization of bookmarks, passwords and settings, and new dedicated extensions.
While the browser is pretty limited for now, it should include quite a few extra features coming in the future like mail, sync, spatial navigation, greater performance, extensions, and other community-based features.
Download Vivaldi web browser
Vivaldi is currently available on Technical Preview only. You can download and install Vivaldi on Apple's Mac, MS Windows and Linux. There is only 64 bit version of Debian and RPM package available for now.

64-bit Linux alone? Why? Is it really the case that the vast majority of Linux desktop users are on 64-bit platforms already?
64 bit Linux predates the x86_64, it was running on RISC architectures in the 90s. When the AMD64 came around (was that 2002??) 64 bit Linux was available immediately and it ran fine (I've been using 64 bit Linux exclusively since the AMD64 was introduced). There can't be much 32 bit only hardware out there anymore so there isn't any reason to run 32 bit Linux, even on machines with small amounts of memory. Unlike Windows there isn't any cost to upgrading a Linux distro, in fact for the popular desktop distros like Fedora or Ubuntu you have to update frequently because they have very short support cycles. As a result most desktop machines are running a very recent version of Linux (enterprise servers are a different story, but they aren't germane to an article about a browser). The Vivaldi people aren't costing themselves any users by supporting 64bit Linux only,
"There can't be much 32 bit only hardware out there anymore..." What an incredibly naive "superuser" you are. There are millions of 32-bit-only machines running out there, and most of them are running Linux in order to be productive.
Yes in the non ubuntu world most people moved to 64bit desktop years ago, the only reason most distro's still ship 32bit images is for the select few people that still have 32bit laptops, some distro's are starting to look at plans to drop 32bit all together. For some reason ubuntu kept pushing people towards 32bit long after most had moved.
Does it support citrix receiver.
Tried it and gutted it out of all of our systems in about 10 minutes or less. Not even ready for prime-time as a "preview." Less secure and less private than the origin... Chromium. Will not even bother reviewing it for our readership. Chromium with HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, and Adblock (not "Plus") or Ghostery leaves Vivaldi as a forgotten pretender.
I fully agree about the needed extensions. Furthermore I'd throw in Lastpass and Xmarks.
Hardly forgotten. It's rather new - it's PRE-new. It's not yet on sale. Do you turn down watching a movie at the cinema because the downloaded 'HDCam AC3' version had bad picture and sound?
Silly bugger. Did 'gutting' it from your system make your default browser run better? I doubt it.
Sure, extensions can help.
vivaldi mentioned "this release is only technical preview and far from ready for full release" :-)
So it's based on Blink, not Presto? Oh well.

Hey there everyone! Did you miss me the way I missed you? Of course you did. Because if I know otherwise it would be a crushing blow to all that is left of my ego.
With our move here to Atlanta, things have been crazy and 5 steps beyond a madhouse. Getting all of our things from Chicago, having the moving company lose half of our things… yeah. That's a whole other story to come, people. In the end, everything finally arrived as it should have in the first damn place… 2 months later.
But enough about all of that awfulness, I have to tell you guys about a service I discovered here in Atlanta that has been an amazing experience when it comes to health and peace of mind.
While I was sitting at my sister's home, we noticed that since my nephew had come back from his trip abroad, he was just itching away at his head and just looking very uncomfortable. When he asked his favorite aunt, Moi, to take a look at his head, what I found made me scream, run and then do a little dance of horror in the middle of the room.
Head lice. LICE!! It was awful!!
I know I know I'm a horrible person for losing it like that but YOU didn't see what I saw. It..was…wow.
After his mom and I calmed down and my brother in law stopped us form simply setting the entire house on fire to be sure there were no crawlies everywhere, we decided to hit google for some assistance. Of course let's be honest here, discussing lice with anyone is a bit embarrassing. Also, there was no way my sister was about to sit in a car with my nephew to transport him to the Doctor's office or a clinic to deal with it and worry about being judged.
That's when we looked up discreet Atlanta head lice removal on Google and found a company that not only made house calls, but used natural products and understood the desire for discretion and putting all of us at ease. The Pink Combs. Also, they really did arrive and use Pink Combs! Just thought I'd throw that out there.
They are a mobile lice removal service that not only handles head lice removal in Atlanta but also the entire state of Georgia!
It's been several weeks since the Pink Combs saved the day and we haven't see not a single nit or creepy thing in my nephew's hair since. No I'm not going to tell you which nephew It was either lol. Thank goodness I have a huge family.
So thank you to Ushanie and Stacie of the Pink Combs. I promised I'd write about you!
I am an adult female and let me just say that no matter how old I am or how old I grow to be, one thing will always remain true. I'm terrified of the dentist. It doesn't matter how nice they are, how nice the office is or how attractive the Dentist might be. As soon as I know I have to go into a dental facility, i start to sweat and panic. It's so bad that I don't even have to be the patient! Kids, Husband whomever, if I have to go with someone into a dentist's office, It's going to be a problem.
But no matter how afraid I am of the whole thing, let me tell you a story about why I will never ever ignore any issues with my teeth again nor will I skip an appointment. True I may cry and scream the whole time but I am still going to go. Let me tell you why.
When I was 18 I had come home from college for the holiday vacation to visit my friends and family. It was my first time home since going away to college clear across the country and I couldn't wait to see everyone and have a great time. What I hadn't known was that my father had scheduled a dentist appointment for me the first day back. Please believe that if I had known a dental appointment was in my immediate future I might have not gone home. I am so sincere. But seeing as how the plane had already landed and I was already in my family's car heading up I94 from the airport, there was no escape.
We get to the Dentist's office and immediately the sweating starts and my hands shake. Let's just skip all of the embarrassing parts that happened during this visit shall we?
By the end of the visit my Dentist tells me that I needed my wisdom teeth out. He describes the procedure that needs to be done and his first mistake was to tell me that the whole thing had to start with a needle being inserted into my mouth.
Uh…how about no.
And that was the last time my Dentist ever saw me.
Psssh it was bad enough that he was a dentist but then he wanted to stab me in the gums with a needle? I'd like to buy a vowel and solve the puzzle please. " Hell NO!"
I never went back to see him. Matter of fact I never went back to the dentist again until I had the bright idea to marry a man who's sister, brother and mother were Dentists. Uuuugh!
Now I'm not going to admit to you just how long it was between when I saw a dentist last and when I finally went back to see one. I also won't admit that the only reason I went was not because my family made me, but because I had searing pain in my face that I simply couldn't take anymore. I was in the middle of a presentation in front of an audience when all of a sudden it felt like a small nuclear device went off in my jaw. Yeah… I fell to my knees and was rushed to urgent care then an emergency dentist.
Not only did I have a wisdom tooth that needed to be removed, I had 4 of them that all demanded to come out. If you know what an impacted tooth is? Yeah two of them were impacted. It was awful.
But by the end of it all and after the healing and the AMAAAAZING drugs they sent me home with I realized how much better I felt! The frequent searing headaches I had weren't stress! they were because of my darn teeth!
To say my quality of life improved afterwards is an understatement. All of the years of random pain were completely unnecessary and could have been avoided ONLY if I had gotten my teeth taken care of as I was supposed to.
Now I still hate having to go see a Dentist.
But I'll never NOT go again.
When you mention Yoga to people, the first image in their head is of some hippy dippy woman with such a "celestial name" like: Serendipity or Moon beam, sitting on a mat telling you the importance of breathing and drawing energies with your chakra. All the while the smell of incense waifs about the room and soft music plays on the stereo or…if you're lucky, there is an actual guy in the corner playing some wooden drum. Personally I love everything about that but I realize that it isn't for everyone. Especially lots of you macho guys. But this is why I have to tell you about DDP Yoga and how my husband fell in love with it.
First of all let me just say that my husband is a really rugged kind of guy's guy. Football on Sundays, beer from his favorite mug as he sits on a couch in his man cave. God I hate that couch. Kind of guy who eats a steak that normal people aren't even sure isn't still raw. Some days I just want to serve him dinner by pushing him into the yard with nothing but a knife, some matches and a cow. Whatever happens, happens.
So a year ago he tore his ACL and I mean tore it bad. Just shredded the darn thing. Our Chiropractor and the kids like to call it: A Derrick Rose Injury. Since the accident he hasn't been able to engage in all of the "manly" exercising he enjoys or running with the dogs and the kids. My normally fit ex-solider began sliding into what they are calling Dad-Bod. Which works out fine to go along with his horrible dad jokes. I could see he wasn't too happy about any of it so I decided to look up workouts and strength exercises he could engage in yet protect his wobbly knee.
Enter the viral video of Arthur.
I found this video while surfing Google at work and by the end of the video both my assistant and I had tears rolling down our faces. It was simply the most inspiring thing I had seen.
After I cleaned myself up and reapplied my make-up, both my assistant and I both ordered copies of the Yoga program that Arthur credited for his transformation: DDP YOGA.
DDP Yoga combines calisthenics, sports therapy stretches, and Dynamic Resistance and as we found out after our first few sessions, a high-cardio but minimal-impact workout that you can do comfortably in your home. The only things we needed were a yoga mat, towel, water bottle and a heart monitor. I personally decided to go with the Fitbit Charge HR (which i will be sure to review soon) but my husband decided he didn't need one –at first. He later went back and got the Fitbit Surge after he saw how well my Charge HR worked. The DDP program has about 15 workouts that come on a DVD set that ranges from Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and the soul shaking; Extreme. By the time we got to the Extreme workouts I was positive I had trained well enough to become a Jedi Knight and fly off to fight the Empire. The videos are from a little more than 15 minutes to over an ass kicking worth of an hour and a half. Each workout helps you focus on making your core stronger, better balance and also how to harness your breathing.
Now understand that DDP Yoga is not and it does not proclaim to be a traditional yoga program. As a matter of fact it is everything BUT.
In the end It is definitely something I have found very helpful. As a Matter of fact, my husband does DDP Yoga about three times a day! One workout in the morning, an afternoon quickie – get your minds out of the gutter, then an intense evening session.
The results for both of us have been amazing.
There are more than a few factors that can contribute to plantar fasciitis. And of course, while some men are known to get plantar fasciitis, it would be more common in women. Isn't that swell.
Other than the fact you are more inclined to suffer from Plantar Fasciitis if you are a woman, here are a few more contributing factors:
Of course I would be guilty of each and every one of these which would explain why the pain grew in intensity as I changing my health routine to compensate for the fact my new job kept me sitting in a chair all day. It was as if all the stars aligned for me to suffer from this awful ailment.
Eventually the pain had gotten too severe to the point simply walking about the house had become just too much, let alone attempting to do any kind of cardio such as running, walking or jogging. That's when I finally went to see a friend of mine who is a wonderful Chiropractor that specializes in foot and heel pain. If you aren't lucky enough to have a friend who is a super chiropractor like I do, you can always of course look in the yellow pages (if you still have one of those), or you can join the rest of us in the 21st century by just using google. Looking to find a Chicago Podiatrist? No sweat. Need to drill down in that search and find something in your own neighborhood? Save some time and just 'google your suburb and exactly what you need to find such as Naperville Podiatrist or flip it around ie., Podiatrist Bolingbrook. You get the hint!
After my initial consultation, we learned that of course I had severely fallen arches from all of the cross-fit and running. I mean really severe. The Dr. Showed me a few exercises designed to help stretch out the muscles in my heel and foot as well as the frozen water bottle trick. I completely and utterly swear by the frozen water bottle trick. Dr Wellman then suggested that for long term relief it would be imperative that I be fitted for custom orthotics that can be placed in my shoes and would help readjust my foot with each step and alleviate the pain. I was a bit leery at first as I couldn't help thinking I was one step closer to needing giant Frankenstein shoes or needing a walker with the tennis balls on the feet.
At only 31, I wasn't ready for that. But what I WAS ready for was to be relieved of the pain.
It took a few weeks for my custom orthotics to come in after they made a casting of my foot, but when they did and I got used to wearing them in my shoes, the difference has been night and day.
If you are suffering from foot pain, you really should take the time to see a chiropractor of foot specialist. DO not wait a moment more than you have to!
Trust me.

Compassion and Equanimity
Compassion and Equanimity
"Well, the wisdom side is recognizing that this whole awful image we have of ourselves is a hallucination; and that we have, through the process of all of our conceptualization, put ourselves in this tiny little room, and feel entrapped by the world. But it's actually our image of ourselves that has entrapped us, so we should say, 'This is just an image. I don't need to hang on to that. Ok, I did bungle something as a kid, and I did get scolded. But I'm forty years old now and I don't need to act like a three-year-old. I'm not a three-year-old. I don't need to hold on to whatever it was that happened.' Whether it happened when you were three, or twenty-three, or forty-three or eighty-three, you don't need to hold on to that, because that was one event in your whole life, and it's not the defining character of who you are. But we just kind of highlight certain things and then cast them in mental concrete, and then fight against the walls that we've put around ourselves. Recognize that we don't need to do that. When you start to see this judgmental mind coming, 'Why can't you do this right? Why can't you do that right? Why don't you do this? You should do this. You ought to do this. Somebody else is doing this. Why can't you be like them?' Like when you're doing the breathing meditation, the mind goes, 'Why can't you concentrate better? Why can't you …' Just look at it and say, 'Be quiet.' Or just look at it and say, 'It's chattering away but I don't need to believe it. I don't need to think like this. This thought is not me. This is just a thought going through my mind. It's not me. It's not even realistic.' Learn to identify which of our thoughts and feelings are based on reality, and which are based on hallucination.

The king of hearts
The genial heart surgeon wanders through the shell of a two-storey building and stops in the doorway of a stark rectangular first-floor room. Cooking pots, rubble and workmen's clothes litter the floor; bare windows stare out across dirt tracks and arid farmland.
'This will be the operating theatre,' Dr Hasnat Khan says with a proud smile, before turning to the architect and the senior British nurse accompanying him to pore over plans and discuss the layout and where medical teams should scrub up before surgery.
The idea of a modern hospital with a cardiology unit here, in one of the poorest parts of rural Pakistan, seems as incongruous as a goat farm in downtown Islamabad. But despite its ramshackle appearance, the country's first charity-run hospital with a heart unit is just months away from opening. By the end of the year, it should be carrying out life-transforming surgery, in particular on poor children whose families cannot afford treatment elsewhere.
The hospital is slowly taking shape amid a cluster of tiny villages off the lorry-choked highway from Islamabad to Lahore, some 30 kilometres from the town of Jhelum, the boyhood home of Khan. Its opening will make reality a dream that cardiologist Khan has nurtured for decades and that he once secretly shared with the world's most famous woman.
Khan, who for the past 20 years has worked in hospitals in and around London, was the lover of Princess Diana - the man she called her 'Mr Wonderful' - for the last two years of her life. A discreet and fiercely loyal figure, Khan is seen as the great love of Diana's life after her marriage to Prince Charles broke down and, since her death, has arguably proved himself the most - perhaps only - honourable man to have shaped her final years.
In a rare interview, the 53-year-old Khan speaks of his determination to make a contribution for the good in his home country - and his continuing loyalty to Diana's mission and vision even after the unhappiness that marked the end of their relationship.
THEY CAME FROM DIFFERENT worlds. He was a dashing young surgeon working under Magdi Yacoub at the Royal Brompton Hospital and she was the world's most photographed woman and mother of the heir to the British throne. They met when Diana was visiting a friend who had undergone heart surgery and for the princess, the attraction was instant.
They tumbled into an intense two-year affair during which Khan was smuggled into Kensington Palace to see her, and Diana enjoyed nights out in disguise in London pubs with the doctor. The affair ended just weeks before her death in a Paris underpass alongside playboy Dodi Fayed, in August 1997.
Diana visited Pakistan, studied the Koran and spoke to Khan about a new life together overseas as the media storm that surrounded her intensified. Their relationship, it appears, broke down at least partly because of her frustration at Khan's inability to commit to her.
One plan they talked of was setting up a hospital together in Pakistan. As the 15th anniversary of Diana's death approaches and as work continues on a film about the romance between the princess and the cardiologist, Khan is preparing to leave Britain to make that dream a reality - albeit alone.
'Diana would have been involved in this - absolutely,' Khan says. 'It wouldn't have mattered whether we were together or not. She was one of those people who didn't just talk about things. She was proactive. She would go out and get it done.
'I think this hospital would be 10 years old by now if she were alive. But it's never too late.'
When Diana and Khan spoke of the future, 'it was a kind of thought process', he says. '[We thought] it would be great to set up a hospital in Asia, in Pakistan, and also to provide support services for women.'
Diana was particularly keen to work for women's rights and to help rape victims.
'My side was to build a hospital, basically,' he says.
The reason they never took their plan forward during the princess' lifetime was also one of the reasons their relationship eventually unravelled: Diana could not leave Britain because she could not bear to be apart from princes William and Harry.
'She couldn't have lived in Pakistan at that time,' he says. 'Her children were too young and she couldn't leave.
'Obviously she couldn't live in two places at the same time, spend-ing a month here or a week here and a week there. Now that William is married and Harry is grown up, she wouldn't have had a problem with it. But at the time, that was the main issue. Obviously, you don't expect her to leave the boys behind, and the boys couldn't have left the UK anyway.'
As he talks, the affection and respect Khan feels for his former lover is clear. Asked why their affair ended, he says: 'It was the non-progression of the relationship. My problem was the media. I couldn't have handled having people follow me around all the time. Maybe in time people get used to that kind of thing. I don't know. But I found that I got a lot of intrusion. You walk out of the door at any time of the day and there are people taking pictures or phone calls.
'Here in Pakistan, we would have had no problem. But I think mainly the problem was that even after two years, the relationship wasn't leading to a meaningful progression or conclusion, and that was the main stress on both of us.
'Everyone wants a relationship to be going somewhere.'
After his relationship with Diana ended, Khan had an 18-month arranged marriage with 29-year-old Hadia Sher Ali, the daughter of a noble Afghan family. He then fell in love with Greek heart doctor Alexandra Panagoulas, who is 21 years his junior.
The couple got engaged in 2009 but by last year, as Panagoulas moved to Scotland to pursue her career, their relationship had cooled and the engagement was called off.
'I had completed my training and I had a permanent job and I was settled in one place,' he says. 'She was starting her training so had to be in different parts of the country. We tried to see each other at weekends but then I would be on call and couldn't come up. Slowly, it took a strain on the relationship.
'It was purely because we were at two different stages of our professional life. She is quite ambitious and that's fair enough.'
Ironically, the relationship seems to have faltered for some of the same reasons as that with Diana, only this time the roles were reversed.
'Before, it was very different. I was too busy,' he says. 'I was trying to get a training position and to do research. And you think, 'When I've finished this, there's plenty of time.' That's why I can't sit down and say, 'Don't pursue your career', because I was like that.'
They remain good friends, however, in the way you suspect Khan maintains his friendship with all of his former partners. 'I know all her family,' he says. 'At Easter, which is a big thing in Greece, I phone up and say, 'Happy Easter.''
'I definitely still hope to marry,' he says with a smile. 'I don't know if it will happen when I come back to Pakistan. You hope for the best. My mother is always looking and always organising things. I would love to have kids.'
Whatever happens, his life in Pakistan will be dramatically different to the one he has led for the past two decades in Britain.
'It is very simple to live here,' he says. 'My [family] home is just down the road so I will have no rent to pay. Necessities and food are very cheap. If you look out from the hospital you see open countryside with cows and camels. There are no taxis or cars or buses. People walk for miles and miles just to see someone.'
Khan plans to take unpaid leave - a sabbatical of 12 to 18 months - from his position at the National Health Service hospital in Basildon when he first moves back to Pakistan but believes he may stay for good if the project is a success.
The Abdul Razzaq Welfare Trust Hospital in Badlote village, where Khan's heart unit will be based, will treat for free patients who are too poor to afford even the transport fares to the nearest town hospital, let alone surgery costs. Those patients will include a high percentage of children in an area where rheumatic fever is common, leaving many youngsters with narrowed arteries to the heart, which can become fatal if untreated. Waiting lists for treatment at the nearest heart hospital are two years long, even for the few families who can afford surgery. Most have no choice but to watch their children weaken and die.
Every time Khan comes home to visit his parents, queues form outside the house to seek his help. Poor people with desperately ill children walk for miles to Jhelum.
'They ring my mother to find out when I am coming home - then they line up outside the house,' says Khan. He recalls the case of one nine-year-old boy with narrowing arteries who came to see him with his father two years ago.
'I said to his father, 'I can't believe he has got to this stage and you haven't taken him to hospital,'' says Khan. 'He told me he had taken him to hospital but it was going to cost 250,000 rupees (HK$21,000) for an operation and there was no way he could afford it. So he just left it, knowing the boy was going to die soon.
'He was such a happy kid. He was still running about and he had no idea what was going on. I felt helpless. All I had was a stethoscope. I couldn't even give him the money for the surgery because it was too late for him to be operated on. He wouldn't have survived the operation.'
Khan takes out his phone and calls a friend in Jhelum, to find out if the boy is still alive. An hour later, a call comes back with the news that first the boy and then his devastated father passed away.
Abdul Razzaq Hospital will be home to the first charitable cardiology unit in Pakistan. Khan is setting up the hospital with fellow cardiologist Dr Azhar Kayani, director of medicine for the Pakistan Armed Forces and the Pakistani president's personal physician.
Kayani, who grew up in Badlote and studied at the same medical college as Khan in Lahore, says the hospital will cost the equivalent of HK$12 million and should open before the end of the year. The hospital is named after his father, a school teacher in Badlote, and Kayani has funded all the work so far.
Volunteers from the Essex hospital where Khan works are fund-raising for the heart unit and will help train the doctors and nurses. They have also helped find donated equipment from British hospitals.
One of the techniques Khan will bring to Pakistan is his ability to do mitral valve-repair surgery. He demonstrates the technique on a 14-year-old girl from a poor part of northern Pakistan in an operation that is broadcast live to an audience of cardiologists as part of a conference in Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad. Repairing the heart vessel rather than replacing it with a metal valve means the teenager will be able to one day have children. When a metal valve is used, the patient must take blood-thinning drugs for life, and they make it hard for female patients to conceive.
Khan says of his work with children such as the 14-year-old: 'You never see them afterwards but you picture them in your mind, and you know that in a few years' time, she will hopefully be happy and married with kids.'
As he prepares for a new life in Pakistan, Khan is leaving behind a fresh wave of interest in Diana in Britain, with the 15th anniversary of her death looming and the movie Diana, starring Naomi Watts as the princess and chronicling the romance, in the pipeline.
Although he has been approached by the scriptwriters, Khan, who is being portrayed by Naveen Andrews (who played Sayid Jarrah in the television series Lost), has declined an invitation to co-operate on the film, maintaining his insistence since Diana's death that he will not divulge details of their private lives. He makes no secret of the fact, however, that he is angered by the continual focus on Diana's relationships and attempts in some quarters to suggest ulterior motives for her involvement in the good causes she championed.
'When people write about someone like Nelson Mandela, for instance, they keep details of his personal, private relationships to a minimum,' he says. 'Instead, they look at the good work he has done.
'There are so many other aspects to her, good and bad - like me. Everyone is like that. She did good things because she wanted to, not because of her status. She had an inner desire. It genuinely came from within her. You could tell. She didn't want anything back.
'I don't believe she ever did things like the landmines campaign to get media attention for herself. She didn't need to. She would get attention anywhere. All she had to do was wear a nice frock or get a new hairdo and she would get all the attention she wanted.
'It was the same with the patients and the hospitals she visited. She didn't need to go there to get attention.'
A book by Penny Junor - an author sympathetic to Prince Charles - has just been published. In it, Junor claims Diana was mentally unstable and that Charles stopped seeing his long-term mistress, Camilla Parker-Bowles, until his marriage had broken down irrevocably.
Khan describes this as 'rewriting history'. He says: 'There is no way at all that Diana was mentally unstable. There is nothing wrong with expecting your husband to be faithful and being angry when he isn't.
'Diana had every reason to believe that Charles and Camilla never stopped seeing each other. There was no doubt about it in her mind at all.'
He reveals details of one encounter between the princess and Camilla Parker-Bowles shortly before the royal engagement was announced, which, he says, Diana told him of on a number of occasions: 'Camilla came up to her and said, 'Charles is going to propose to you.' She told Diana before Charles proposed to her. Afterwards, Diana thought, 'Why did this woman know before me?' Obviously they were confiding.
'This is 100 per cent what Diana told me. She thought it was very odd. I would be very surprised if I was going to marry someone and my fiancee's ex-boyfriend came to me and said that.'
Khan says he stopped reading books and newspaper articles about Diana shortly after her death.
'I read a few things initially,' he says. 'Some were completely not true. Some were a third person speculating. I thought, 'A person has just died, for God's sake. Leave a little more time for people to get over the grieving and everything else.' I found it quite distressing so I just completely stopped reading anything.'
Now, as the mythology surrounding Diana continues to grow, Khan has claimed a place in the popular imagination as the love of her life and the man who - had she lived - could have saved her from her personal demons and made her truly happy by marrying her once her fling with Fayed had fizzled out.
Asked if he felt this to be a psychological burden, Khan replies: 'It is - of course it is. But at the time, we didn't know what was going to happen. We couldn't see the future.
'In retrospect, there are a hundred could-have-beens. She could be living very happily and married and having more kids, with me or with someone else. It could have led in that direction. I try not to think about these things. I can't change anything now.'
Ultimately, Khan lost a dear friend in tragic circumstances 15 years ago. It is plain to see that the pain of their unresolved parting lives on.
'Our last meeting was not at all happy,' he says, referring to the summer meeting in Kensington Palace where Diana told him their relationship was over. 'But that is all forgotten now. I think my mind has blanked a few things out.'
On the night she died, Khan tried to phone her, only to find she had changed her mobile number. 'I never had the chance to ask her about Dodi and find out what all of that was about,' he says.
So does he harbour any regrets? 'No - none whatsoever.' After a pause, however, he adds thoughtfully: 'The only thing is that it is different when you are with people, and when they are suddenly not around. All of a sudden, they disappear and you know you will never see them again. That is very difficult. Sometimes you think, 'I wish this' or, 'I wish that'. You would rather see them happy and alive, even if you are not together.'
Details of the charitable trust that will fund Dr Hasnat Khan's heart unit at the Abdul Razzaq Hospital in Badlote, Pakistan, are available at www.arwt.org.

I will be really surprised if Stoke sack Tony Pulis.
It will surprise me because there are good people who run that club – people that Tony has a good relationship with, such as chairman Peter Coates and chief executive Tony Scholes.
They are not guys given to acting on a whim. And if there is anything we have learned over the years in football it is that you act in haste and repent at leisure.
I'm not saying there are not issues to address for the Potters. Maybe the board have looked at the impact Paolo Di Canio has made at Sunderland and are wondering whether they need someone to come in and shake things up.
But who would you bring in? Roberto Di Matteo? Mark Hughes? You're talking about the same old people again. Would they bring the energy Di Canio does? Not for me.
Stoke's problem is that they only seem to have a Plan A. They play Ryan Shotton on the right of midfield now Rory Delap is out on loan.
They signed Charlie Adam in the summer but he can't get into the team and it just hasn't worked.
They are strongest when they have widemen – Matty Etherington and Jermaine Pennant – to put balls into the box to cause chaos.
Without that width City are pure route one. They are just a team that bangs the ball from back to front.
Stoke have worked so hard at being solid defensively they are light in midfield and attack.
The critics will argue that for all the time he has been at the club Pulis has not evolved the style of play enough.
Set against that, they are an extremely well-run club. A large part of that has been down to Pulis' skill at doing the business on limited resources.
He managed to harness a style that achieved results. Yes, with the new TV deal everyone is just that little bit more nervous.
But he has at least earned the right to go into the new campaign. However, if he keeps them up, he must develop the style of play in the way fans want him to.
Paolo's a fast worker!
Last week I mentioned how I thought Paolo Di Canio was being judged a touch harshly on his Swindon record.
I thought he might prove a few people wrong – and he did so at Newcastle by inspiring a stunning display from Sunderland.
He looks to have got into a couple of players behind the scenes because Stephane Sessegnon produced for the first time in ages and Adam Johnson scored a goal out of nothing, something we haven't seen enough of.
Keeper Simon Mignolet was outstanding and all over the pitch Sunderland were the better team.
Millwall shame Britain
To fight rival fans is bad enough. To fight your own fellow supporters is the lowest of the low.
Then they battled with stewards and the police.
Millwall have shamed this country yet again.
Those scenes on Saturday were reminiscent of the worst of the 1980s. And for what?
It was a low moment for football. Those Millwall fans have given people who don't like football a stick to beat the sport with.
They won't care. Just as they won't care that they have tarred all decent Lions fans with the same brush as them.

Who else travelled to New York for the Marathon? We got a text telling us it was cancelled as we were going through imigration at JFK - gutted!
We have been told we will be allowed to run next year - no refunds on the table. What have you heard?
I am guessing as you had already travelled that there is no chance of an insurance claim?
I don't think travel insurance would pay out because the race was cancelled.
I hope they had a good reason for the cancellation!
No insurance claim. Had they cancelled mid week instead of waiting untill Friday ( two days before the race!) we might have been able to cancel our trip.
Hi,I missed out too.Flew out on the thurs-delayed from the wednesday.Found out after registering at the expo.I have not heard anything re placce being rolled over-did you get in on the ballot? I got my place through a tour company.
Hi, Rhianon,
I got my place through a tour as well. I was told by our tour organiser ( whilst still in NY) that we were probably going to be offered a place any time over the next five years. I also got an email from NY Road Runners ( ING) yesterday saying we would be told exactly whats on offer in the 'coming weeks'.
Will you go again next year if we are offered a place?
i also travelled out, am gutted but mayor bllomberg is to blame, there was nothing wrong with new york, we went over to staten island. the race could and should have gone ahead.
bloomberg kept us waiting for as long as possible, me and my wife spent over £500 spending money in new york, you times that by 47,000 runners (each taking a partner) it makes 23,500,000 (231/2
23 1/2 million pound
that is why he cancelled it at the last minute, he wanted everyone to still go to new york to spend thier money.
he took us all for mugs

Ergon GA1 Evo Handlebar Grip is rated out of 5 by 1.Rated 4 out of 5 by SleeperService from Nice, simple, effective grips I bought a couple of pairs of these to replace the grips on my Carrera Subway and Boardman Hybrid Team, as the grips that came with both bikes weren't that comfy for my hands on a 20 mile commute. I've had these for a few weeks now and can say that they're much better. No, they won't stop hand ache completely, but they do reduce it to minimal levels, making the ride a lot more comfortable. Grip is good too. Fitting is fine, and, despite only having the one locking point, they're rock solid. Read the instructions first though! You do have to pop the end caps to fit them, not just loosen them.Date published: 2015-11-11

There is plenty of room to argue that the G12/G15 are more practical cameras because of their low-light performance, but the detail, resolution, and colors of the G10 have yet to be matched by any new camera at ISO 100.
Bam, truth bullets.

There was tension among civil servants in Osun State, on Thursday, as Governor Rauf Aregbesola, directed all directors and acting directors in ministries and agencies to proceed on three months compulsory leave.
When the Nigerian Tribune visited the state secretariat, located at Abere, on Thursday, some workers were seen discussing the development in hush tones, expressing concerns over what may be the fate of such directors, after the expiration of the compulsory leave.
The state government had argued that the directive on compulsory leave to the directors was in tandem with Rule 100107 of Osun State Service Rules, 2011.
According to a circular obtained by Nigerian Tribune, "the state governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, has directed that all officers occupying the positions of director (either in Acting or Held Against Post (HAP) capacity and above, who are yet to proceed on 2014, 2015 and 2016 annual vacation leaves should do so with immediate effect."
The circular letter with reference no SMD. 61/159 dated 2nd November, 2016 and signed by the Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office, Mr S. A Aina reads in part: "The affected officers are to hand over to the next immediate officers to them for continuous of their official duties during their vacations."
"However, all officers who are to proceed on such leaves should be on standby in case they are needed for sensitive official assignment like preparation for 2017 budget estimates and ongoing staff screening exercise."
"It has been observed that many officers in the state public service have not taken their annual vacation leaves in recent time, a development that is having deleterious psychological effect on their state of health and mental stability. It is the duty of the government to address this abnormally in the overall public interest".
The letter, which was copied to the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief of Staff to the Governor, Head of Service, chairmen of Statutory Boards and Parastatals, Permanent Secretaries, Council Managers among others however, clarified that "Heads of MDAs where operations will be adversely affected by the implementation of this circular are advised to contact Public Service Office (PSO) for waivers."
Meanwhile, efforts made to get the reaction of the governor to the development proved abortive as several calls put through to the cell phone of his Director, Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Mr Semiu Okanlawon, were not answered, neither the text message sent to his phone replied.

"Time Out" isn't abuse.
this IS abuse.
Being that the UN cannot clean it's own house, and Kofi ought to be in shackles.
Nothing in the Reuter's article mentions even remotely looks like 'torture', except to the uninformed. Again, restraining an unruley prisoner in a chair for two hours isn't torture or inhumane. Cutting off the head of an innocent 24 year old kid on video is.

Jacques Lacan: Psychoanalysis and the Subject of Literature
€ 40,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Februar 2001
BeschreibungThe French theorist Lacan has always been called a 'literary' theoretician. Here is, for the first time, a complete study of his literary analyses and examples, with an account of the importance of literature in the building of his highly original system of thought. Rabate offers a systematic genealogy of Lacan's theory of literature, reconstructing a doctrine based upon Freudian insights, and revitalised through close readings of authors as diverse as Poe, Gide, Shakespeare, Plato, Claudel, Genet, Duras and Joyce. Not simply an essay about Lacan's influences or style, this book shows how the emergence of key terms like the 'letter' and the 'symptom' would not have been possible without innovative readings of literary texts.
InhaltsverzeichnisGeneral Editor's Preface Lacan from Z to L: Or Against Interpretation Lacan from A to L: Basic Lacanian Issues and Concepts From Letters to Literature, and Gide Poe and the Theory of the Letter Hamlet and the Desire of the Mother Antigone Between the Beautiful and the Sublime Sade: Subverting the Law and the Jouissance of the Other Ravishing Duras, or the Gift of Love Tragedies and Comedies of Love: Plato, Claudel, Genet Joyce's Jouissance, or a New Literary Symptom Conclusion Annotated Critical Bibliography Index
PortraitJean-Michel Rabaté
Pressestimmen'... Highly readable, packed with helpful background information, this book is sure to become a required text in literature and Lacan courses.' - Joan Copjec, Director, Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Culture, University of Buffalo
'In his reading of Lacan (Rabate) brings to bear a deep knowledge of the philosophical and psychological traditions within - and against - which Lacan worked, and an impressive intimacy with the literary texts, ranging form Sophocles' Antigone to Joyce's Finnegans Wake, which inspired so much of his discourse. To read this book is at once to be schooled in the wily iconoclasm of Lacan's cultural engagements and stimulated into fresh thought about the force and function of literature.' - Professor Derek Attridge, University of York

Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy for a fifth time. Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Antti Niemi of the San Jose Sharks also are finalists announced Wednesday for the award given annually to the NHL's top goaltender. Lundqvist, the reigning Vezina winner, tied for the NHL lead in regular-season wins, posting a 24-16-3 record with a 2.05 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. Bobrovsky (21-11-6, 2.00 GAA, .932 save percentage and four shutouts) anchored Columbus' late-season surge that kept the club in contention for a playoff berth. He's up for the Vezina for the first time. Niemi shared the NHL lead in starts (43), saw more ice time than any other goaltender (almost 2,600 minutes) and ranked third in shots faced (1,220) and saves (1,127). He is a first-time finalist.

A Texas police department is catching heat from atheist activists after a sheriff responded to recent acts of violence against cops with a simple gesture: the placement of "In God We Trust" stickers on every patrol car.
The decision by the Childress Police Department in Childress, Texas, has a spawned a great deal of support — and some frustrations, with Police Chief Adrian Garcia explaining that he made the decision to add the decals following recent attacks on cops across America.
"I think with all the assaults happening on officers across the country … it's time we get back to where we once were," Garcia said in an interview with the Red River Sun.
The sheriff took to the department's official Facebook page on September 2 to share a photo of a patrol car along with the following message: "Please excuse the dirty unit. I had to share this with the public. Notice what I will be putting on all Childress Police patrol units."
There were a variety of reactions when the decal announcement was made, with atheists pushing back, according to the Amarillo Globe-News.

Road users in Holland had a bit of a shock when a road sign was changed to a very racy alternative indeed.
The sign was altered in Caitwickerzand near Kootwijk in The Netherlands, and making it worse, the location is a dogging spot, where gay guys go to 'enjoy themselves'.
The sign is apparently fake, and was stuck up over a sign that warns drivers to keep away because they could scare animals, but kudos to the inventive person who stuck the sign up because it is quite funny.
The Dutch equivalent of the Forestry Commission claimed:
We can really appreciate the humour and we laughed about it. But is it and remains an official traffic information sign with crucial information.
