Why do I often feel bloated and uncomfortable after eating?The high levels of hormones you produce in early pregnancy relax the muscles throughout your body (NHS Choices 2014). That includes your digestive system.
This relaxation slows your digestive processes. After a meal, this can cause indigestion, which can leave you with:
- bloating
- heartburn
- feeling full even when you haven't eaten much
- acid reflux, which is when acid from your stomach comes up into your gullet (oesophagus) (NICE 2012)
Can indigestion harm my baby?No. While it's uncomfortable and sometimes painful for you, indigestion certainly isn't harmful for your baby. The slowing of your digestive system may even benefit your baby, as it gives your body more time to pass nutrients through the placenta.
What can I do to relieve my indigestion?You'll probably have to live with some indigestion while you're pregnant, but there are steps you can take to ease or prevent some of the unpleasant symptoms:
- Try not to put extra pressure on your tummy while it's digesting after a meal. Sit up straight and wait at least an hour after a meal before lying down.
- Bending over can make indigestion worse so try to bend at your knees instead of from your waist.
- Eat several small meals throughout the day, rather than three large meals.
- Steer clear of foods that cause your indigestion to flare up. The usual suspects are rich, spicy foods, chocolate, fruit juices and fatty foods. You could try keeping a food diary to see which foods make your symptoms worse.
- Drinks containing caffeine or alcohol can also aggravate your indigestion. You'll need to limit how much of these you have during pregnancy anyway.
- If you smoke, try to stop. Smoking relaxes the valve between your stomach and gullet, making you more likely to have indigestion and heartburn. Smoking is also harmful to your baby.
- If you have indigestion at night, try to eat your dinner at least three hours before you go to bed.
- Sleeping with your bed or mattress tilted up by a few inches (about 10 cms) can also help to relieve night-time symptoms. Get your partner to put blocks of wood or bricks under the head end of the bed or cushions or rolled-up towels under the mattress. Avoid propping yourself up with pillows as this can put undue pressure on your abdomen. (NHS Choices 2014, NICE 2012)
What treatments are available for indigestion during pregnancy?If you have severe indigestion or changes to your diet haven't helped, ask your GP, midwife or pharmacist for advice on medicines that are safe to take during pregnancy and right for your symptoms.
Antacids help to neutralise stomach acids, while alginates work by forming a protective coating over the walls of your stomach and gullet. Whichever medication is recommended for you, be sure not to exceed the correct dose.
If medication doesn't ease your symptoms, you're finding it difficult to eat or keep food down, you're losing weight, or you're experiencing abdominal pain, talk to your GP or midwife.
Unfortunately, indigestion is just one common symptom of pregnancy. Watch our video to see new mums talking about the pregnancy side effects they experienced while they were expecting.

Irish Lotto Draw Details:
Irish Lotto History
The Irish Lotto was launched in April 1988 with a weekly draw on a Saturday; its original format required players to match six numbers from a choice of 36, with a minimum jackpot of IR£250,000. The lottery continued to be drawn weekly until May 1990 when the Wednesday draw was introduced.
In August 1992 the number of balls increased to 39, a Bonus Ball was added into the game and the starting jackpot increased to IR£500,000. The Irish Lotto matrix was changed again in September 1994 when the ball pool increased to 42. In addition, Quick Picks were introduced, allowing the lottery terminal to choose a random selection of numbers for a players tickets.
Lotto Plus was first played in October 2000, allowing players numbers a second chance to win prizes in an additional draw for a small fee.
With the introduction of the Euro in January 2002, the price of a ticket became 0.95 per line, and the starting jackpot was set at 1.2 million. A further additional draw, Lotto Plus 2, was introduced at the same time. Prices were adjusted again in September 2002 to 1 per line, raising the base jackpot to 1.35 million.
In November 2006, the game matrix was altered once more, with players having to match six numbers from 1 to 45, and the starting jackpot rose to a guaranteed 2 million. The prize for matching five main numbers and the Bonus Ball was boosted from 12,000 to 25,000, and a 5 award for matching three numbers was introduced. The price of an Irish Lotto line increased from 1 to 1.50 per line as a result of the changes.
September 2015 saw the Irish Lotto matrix change again, with ticket holders now having to match six main numbers from a choice of 47. In addition, the prize for matching five main numbers and the Bonus Ball rose to 100,000 on average, the reward for matching three main balls increased to approximately 9 and players could win a 3 scratchcard for matching two main numbers and the Bonus Ball.
The Lotto Plus 1 jackpot increased from 350,000 to 500,000 and a new Lotto Plus Raffle was introduced, offering a number of 300 prizes in every draw. Finally, the price of playing Irish Lotto rose from 1.50 per line to 2.

Change it when you have your ip and you will be ok.

Play: "Hamlet"
Group: Shakespeare Festival St. Louis
Venue: Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park
Dates: Nightly through June 20 except Tuesdays and June 5
Tickets: Free admission
Story: While Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is away at school his father dies and his mother, Queen Gertrude, marries his uncle, Claudius, who becomes king. Hamlet finds the brief period between his father's death and his mother's remarriage disquieting and suspicious, and his fears are verified when his father's ghost reveals that Claudius murdered him. Hamlet then reveals his quest for revenge to his friend and confidante Horatio.
The troubled prince also is attracted to Ophelia, the daughter of Claudius' advisor Polonius, but his melancholy nature jeopardizes their relationship. Even as Hamlet is intent upon uncovering Claudius' guilt, the king plots to dispatch his nephew with the assistance of Hamlet's treacherous schoolmates Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and the willing involvement of Ophelia's brother, Laertes, who seeks revenge for deeds against his own family.
Highlights: At its inception, the folks behind the birth, nurturing and development of Shakespeare Festival St. Louis vowed to produce the Bard's greatest work, "Hamlet," for its tenth anniversary season. Under the leadership of its new executive director, Rick Dildine, and the masterful, carefully calibrated brush strokes of director Bruce Longworth, Shakespeare Festival has mounted a rousing and passionately convincing presentation of Will's enduring tragedy.
Anchored by a riveting and richly textured performance by Jim Butz in the title role, Longworth's "Hamlet" provides a theatrical feast for eyes and ears, a cornucopia of haunting dialogue by the principals, raucous comic moments with earthy gravediggers and chilling, supernatural elements in the form of the ghost, accompanied by the ethereal sound design of Ann Slayton that incorporates the brooding, atmospheric music and effects by resident composer Robin Weatherall.
Other Info: This 10th anniversary presentation is awash in the achievements of a primarily local cast and crew. St. Louis native Butz's portrayal of the "melancholy Dane" is crisp, clear and cogent, capturing Hamlet's sharp intellect as well as his troubled psyche and runaway emotions. The character's famous soliloquy on existence, "To be or not to be," in Butz's interpretation clearly establishes the choices and subsequent results that Hamlet deduces from any future actions.
The top-notch supporting cast features a wealth of high-caliber performances, marred on opening night only by the bizarre second-act cadence of John Rensenhouse as Claudius. For whatever reason, his presentation of the king's machinations seemed off-kilter in delivery and failed to match his firm grasp of the character's complexities in the first act.
Anderson Matthews offers a delightful interpretation of the pompous, opportunistic Polonius, while Jason Cannon's convincing Horatio is valiant, true and dedicated in his friendship to Hamlet. Whit Reichert's First Gravedigger is a model of comic efficiency and his Marcellus epitomizes loyalty. Mark Kelley is both a dapper and deadly Rosencrantz and teams seamlessly with Matthew Folsom as the scheming Guildenstern to demonstrate the duo's duplicity.
Deanne Lorette and Kimiye Corwin are marvelous as the troubled Queen Gertrude and the confused Ophelia, respectively, while Rob Krakovski is imposing as the Ghost and ingratiating as the Player King, who leads his entourage in Hamlet's famous "Mouse Trap" skit designed to get a rise out of Claudius. Others providing dependable portrayals include Justin Blanchard as the fiery Laertes, Aaron Orion Baker, Cale Haupert, Terry Meddows, Cameron Jamarr Davis, Lindsey Warren, Gary Glasgow and Aaron Sitrick.
Paul Dennhardt's expert fight and movement direction gives the sword scenes a sense of gritty reality. John Wylie's precise lighting draws attention both to moments of individual clarity as well as the grander scenes that play out on Jim Burwinkel's imposing set that epitomizes the impressive scope of Elsinore Castle. Costumes by Dorothy Marshall Englis evoke the Elizabethan era of the setting.
If you like, check out the mini-version of "Hamlet" titled "Trippingly Hamlet" prior to the 8 p.m. performance. Adapted by Michael Perkins, Robin Weatherall and education director Christopher Limber, this brisk exercise in Shakespearean theatricality is smoothly directed by Robert A. Mitchell and designed to whet the appetite of patrons, as well as area students as part of the Shakespeare Festival Education Tour. Perkins and fellow artists Khnemu Menu-Ra, Daniel John Kelly, Elana Kepner and Megan Cone, with the contributions of tour manager Anna Blair, act out the Bard's ultimate tragedy in a tidy 20 minutes or so with exuberant flair and exhaustive energy.
Additionally, the Festival's traditional Green Show, featuring "Juggling" Jeff Koziatek and Josh Routh, the "Sword-Swallowing Clown," plays nightly beginning at 6:30 p.m.
All in all, the 2010 Shakespeare Festival St. Louis presentation is a sumptuous smorgasbord of tasty theatrical treats, and it's all absolutely free.
Rating: A 4.5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

Long Beach Island's north end did not sustain as much damage as the south end, and officials are crediting that to a beachfill project in Harvey Cedars and already expansive beaches in Barnegat Light.
In Harvey Cedars, the community, which is still working on emergency management operations, has not strayed from the familylike bond of the tiny seashore town.
On Friday at the High Point Volunteer Fire Company, a crew of residents and volunteers were busy cooking meals and responding to calls for service.
Wearing an apron, borough resident Pam Giottina rushed around the kitchen preparing lunch for volunteers but couldn't not talk about her experience riding out the storm.
"You have to think mind over matter. You have to figure out and focus on where you're needed, and I'm needed here," Giottina said.
Giottina spent the storm at her 86th Street home, where she sustained minor damage and had a load of bay mud dumped on her front yard. But she isn't complaining.
"I'm going to shut up because I could have lost my house," she said.
She said she was supposed to evacuate, but she is glad she stayed with her tight-knit community.
"I am blessed I am able to stay. I would be out there on the island useless," she said.
She said she was so thankful the borough completed a beach-replenishment project in 2010 because it saved the tiny town from the storm.
"If we didn't have that project here, Harvey Cedars would be an inlet," she said.
Harvey Cedars police Chief Thomas Preiser walked the borough's beaches Friday afternoon, and although there was erosion and the dunes were affected, he said there would be no Harvey Cedars without the replenishment project.
He recalled Monday night when Robert Burnaford, a borough police officer who was off duty and switched hats to work as a volunteer firefighter, rescued residents on the oceanfront with Mayor Jonathan Oldham.
Burnaford was at the firehouse Friday afternoon and talked about the rescues he made with water that was up to his waist rushing down the street.
"The couple on Hudson Avenue was standing on their front porch and had gotten locked out of their house. We broke a window to get inside and get their dog. It was raining hard with wind gusts between 50 and 70 mph," Burnaford said.
Oldham and Burnaford got them into a military truck after fighting through the water rushing down the street and then went to South Holly Drive and rescued a father, mother and son. They performed a third rescue on East Atlantic Avenue of a father, mother, two children and an infant stranded at their oceanside home.
"We had to wait for breaks in the waves to bring them all out of the house. We were fighting the water, the wind, the rain. It was crazy. I wasn't scared, but I've never experienced anything like this before," Burnaford said.
Oldham said the rescues are an example of the closeness of the community in Harvey Cedars. The borough's residents, officials and police officers take care of each other, Oldham said.
Right now, homeowners clamoring to get back on the island need to be patient, but they also need to come home, he said.
"Not letting people come back soon is going to turn into a disaster," he said.
He said everyone wants a timeline, but he doesn't want to promise a return time that might not happen.
"One of the things about being on a barrier island is that you are on your own and you have to learn to be on your own. The town of Harvey Cedars is devastated, but we're ready to open up," he said.
Next to Harvey Cedars, in the Loveladies section of Long Beach Township, homes on the oceanfront have severe structural damage, with pieces of siding hanging off and undermined conditions. Windows are broken out, and sand is piled against many of the homes. Piling that once were connected to house foundations are splintering and bent. One home had three vehicles flooded and damage inside a garage.
Loveladies has not received a beach-replenishment project. Long Beach Township has been battling homeowners for years to secure easements to complete the project.
The northernmost point of the island, Barnegat Light, looked virtually untouched Friday afternoon. A jetty built in 1991 has been the gift that continues to give sand that has made for broad beaches and no erosion when a storm strikes the island.
In 1991, the Army Corps of Engineers built the 4,200-foot-long breakwater jetty at the mouth of Barnegat Inlet. But the expansive beaches that visitors can ride a shuttle to during the summer also exist because the borough bought all of the dune land after the March Storm of 1962. A requirement was also instituted to build homes 25 feet behind the dune line.
Bayview Terrace resident Linda Morris was at the Bayview Marina on Friday afternoon and was angry that she could not leave the island and return if she wanted to.
"Do we look like we're in danger up here? They're telling us if we drive on the roads we will be arrested. This is ridiculous that we can't leave and come back home. Nothing happened up here. We were lucky," Morris said.

Movie Review
Let's face it: We whine a lot.
We whine when our alarm clocks fritz out. We whine when we have dental appointments. We whine when our favorite coffee stand runs out of hazelnut espresso. What we don't whine about is how poorly the mammoth hunts have been going lately.
In truth, D'Leh doesn't whine about that either—even though the woolly mammoths aren't coming around as much anymore. That's bad news, because D'Leh and his people, the Yagahl, rely on these beasts for pretty much everything. They eat 'em. They wear their hides. They build huts out of their bones. They make mammoth-related jewelry. One might say the Yagahl are in a mammoth rut.
D'Leh has other problems, too. For one thing, his pappy deserted the tribe several years before—a shameful no-no in the Yagahl's tight little community. For another, he's quite fond of a pretty, adopted interloper named Evolet. But Evolet, with her blue eyes, straight teeth and nice mop of dreadlocks, is the Yagahl's "it" girl who's likely to be the main squeeze for the tribe's best mammoth hunter. And that, everyone assumes, won't be D'Leh.
Things seem to take a fortunate, perhaps preordained, turn when a huge mammoth stumbles into D'Leh's spear and promptly dies, giving D'Leh newfound status as a burly, he-man hunter and the right to "take" the girl of his choosing. But D'Leh is too honest to let an accident propel him to so much tribal power. With a heavy heart (and a little encouragement) he rejects all his mammoth-hunting rights and resigns himself to continuing Yagahl obscurity—much to Evolet's dismay.
That very evening, "four-legged demons" (riders on horseback) raid the Yagahl's encampment, kidnapping Evolet and several other unfortunate souls. D'Leh watches as his one true love—along with several of his friends—are carted off into the snowy wilds. If ever there was a time to whine, it'd be now, right?
D'Leh decides instead to pursue them. And neither cold nor heat nor saber-toothed tigers nor man-eating ostriches nor a lack of the invention of hazelnut espresso will stop him from completing his all-important quest.
Positive Elements
D'Leh may be a bit of a fifth wheel in the Yagahl, but he treats his tribemates with respect, and Evolet with care and gentleness. He adheres unwaveringly to the moral ethos of the tribe: When Evolet suggests the two of them run off together, D'Leh smacks down the idea. "And abandon my people, like my father?" he says. And, as we've already discussed, he refuses to let an accident of fate give him tribal perks. Granted, he gets a little prodding from Tic'Tic, a wise elder and friend, who tells him, "It's not the way to claim the white spear with a lie."
But D'Leh's character is only truly revealed when Yagahl life is turned upside down. During the course of his epic trek to save Evolet, he a) rescues the girl from the embrace of one of her lecherous captors; b) leads a pack of horrific, man-eating birds away from Evolet and other captives; c) drags a wounded cohort through a burning, waterless desert on a makeshift stretcher; d) saves a saber-toothed tiger from a watery death; and, of course, e) becomes an inspiring leader of men. He's the kind of honest, forthright guy who might make a pretty good president if a) he showered more and b) presidential duties involved dealing with man-eating birds and saber-toothed tigers. (And some would say that they do.)
But really, all the Yagahl adhere to the same general code of honor. As D'Leh points out, the Yagahl are able to take down the mightiest of animals (that'd be the mammoth) because they "hunt together as one." And, indeed, all of D'Leh's compatriots are all about teamwork. [Spoiler Warning] One of D'Leh's onetime rivals makes the ultimate sacrifice at the end of the film. The Yagahl's resident shamanist leader (referenced as "Old Mother") makes a similar sacrifice.
Spiritual Content
Two things are worth commenting on at the outset: First, if one takes the film's title literally, 10,000 BC takes place a good 10,000 years before, well, Christ, and several thousand years before even Abraham was walking around. So the film doesn't deal much with Judeo-Christian themes. Second, though the film takes place in prehistoric times, complete with prehistoric animals, the subject of evolution is not dealt with.
That said, spiritualism runs amok.
"There are legends and prophesies along with all the visceral elements," says Cliff Curtis, who plays Tic'Tic. "There are predatory terror birds and saber-toothed tigers, and, of course, the mammoths, but the story also has a spiritual undertone to it, and I think that is the glue that holds it together."
The Yagahl appear to adhere to some form of ancestor worship, and there are several allusions to "fathers" leading them. The fathers also zap Old Mother with visions of the future. When D'Leh and Evolet were just children, she prophesied that Evolet and her beau (who winds up being, of course, D'Leh) would lead the Yagahl to a new life "where the Yagahl will know hunger no more" and foresaw the raid of the "four-legged demons."
D'Leh turns out to be a player in other prophecies too. One tribe he encounters believes that a man who talks to a "speartooth" will lead them in war against their oppressors. Fortunately for D'Leh, he just happened to save a saber-toothed tiger the night before he stumbles across the tribe. And it just so happens that the same tiger wanders into camp just as the tribe is about to poke D'Leh full of spear holes. The tribe gives the tiger a wide berth, but D'Leh—already on the ground—says, "You do remember me, don't you?"
Evolet's kidnappers and the tribe's oppressors are one and the same—an advanced, pyramid-building race which has its own prophecy. These people believe their civilization will crumble if someone comes to town bearing the mark of a certain constellation of stars. As it happens, Evolet was whipped with a cat-o'-nine-tails sort of thing on the way to the city, and the scars on her hands match the pattern of the constellation.
These pyramid-builders—really not nice people at all—worship a living "god," actually a tall, very old mortal whose face is always shielded from his people by films of silk and such. We're told that, originally, there were three "gods," and he's the only one who's left. An entire priesthood has been built around this untouchable, unseeable fellow, and whatever this "god" says, goes. When he feels as though his slaves are slacking off in their pyramid building, he orders one of them to be sacrificed—and one is immediately tossed off a pyramid ledge. He's regarded with fearful awe, and D'Leh is told to not expect help from his slaves because, "Men cannot bring down gods."
[Spoiler Warning] Old Mother psychically goes on the quest with D'Leh. And she apparently gives her last breath of life to Evolet, when the younger woman is fatally struck by an arrow. D'Leh, the man of action that he is, winds up killing the city's ruler with a spear. "He is not a god!" he shouts, and the revolution commences.
Also, Evolet is sometimes called a "witch," though she does not cast any spells.
Sexual Content
Evolet is clearly an object of desire among her captors. One makes moves on her as if he'd like to rape her. (D'Leh rescues her.) The slave-trading leader eventually buys her "freedom," he tells her, though that freedom clearly amounts to trading a life hauling stones for a life as his sex kitten. That said, their "relationship" never comes close to being consummated.
An exaggerated imitation smooch performed by a captive tribesman is pretty much as far as things go when it comes to talking about D'Leh and Evolet's love life. As for "native" dress codes, everyone's relatively well-covered. Some men walk around bare-chested and women sometimes saunter about bare-shouldered.
Violent Content
There is carnage and peril aplenty in 10,000 BC From the early-movie mammoth hunt to the climactic war in the desert, action takes center stage.
Spears are the weapons of mass destruction here, with warriors using them to dispatch mammoths, men and man-eating birds with equal aplomb. We see one 10-foot tall bird get stabbed in the mouth. We see an impaled mammoth. One or two men are skewered, and we see the spear go in one side and out the other.
But there were evidently other ways than that to die in 10,000 BC, and none were particularly pleasant. Arrows were one. And audiences see warriors smack their opponents with hammers. Huge, ostrich-like creatures kill and eat men, mealtime often hidden by a convenient veil of grass. Mammoths fling their trunks and stomp their feet with abandon, occasionally smiting or squishing folks who get in their way. For his part, D'Leh nearly gets smothered by a collapsed mammoth, which would seem to me to be a particularly ignoble and smelly way to die. Several Yagahl are dragged through the tundra by a mammoth, and they're sometimes thrown clear and tumble into rocks. People are hurled off pyramids. One guard has his neck broken.
A man falls crotch-first onto a tree branch. D'Leh cauterizes a compatriot's wound by way of a burning branch. Slaves are regularly smacked around, most often by nasty whips. Evolet is scarred when the slave driver whips her hands mercilessly. (We rarely see the blows fall.) One captive is nearly strangled to death by one of his overlords. The god-king threatens to literally pull another slave apart.
Of note: For all the wanton death and violence, there is remarkably little literal bloodshed. Characters are stabbed and impaled with some regularity, and the body count is high enough to make Rambo wish he'd lived 12,000 years earlier. But the gore-factor is relatively light.
Crude or Profane Language
None. The English language had not, apparently, evolved enough by 10,000 BC to include f-words, s-words or other bits of offensive banter. And yes, almost everybody seems to have spoken English back then.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Cigarettes and whiskey were still millennia in the offing, too. Everyone, including the vision-prone Old Mother, is stone-cold sober throughout.
Other Negative Elements
When a warrior crawls through a herd of mammoths, we hear much noise emanating from the huge creatures—some of which may or may not be the sounds your average 13-year-old would recognize as flatulence. D'Leh and Tic'Tic take food from an apparently deserted village—only the village turns out not to be so deserted.
10,000 BC is, if I may say so, ahead of its time when it comes to morality. There are problems. Violence is ubiquitous. And the film emphasizes pre-Abrahamic spirituality. But while the Yagahl may not credit their sense of morality to the Christian God, they do adhere to forms of what we now know to be godly morality with clarity and unwavering vigor. And it's that sense of morality—honor, loyalty, teamwork—that forms the bedrock of their hardscrabble society.
Let's not make too much of this, though. 10,000 BC is, at its heart, an action-adventure popcorn flick about, um, people who hadn't invented popcorn yet. It might be good for a diversion but it'll never do as fodder for long, espresso-house discussions. That said, it does suggest that civilization is only possible through a shared sense of ethical, moral behavior. And in our whiny, postmodern society, circa 2,000 A.D., that's not a bad lesson to learn.

Of all the big computer companies, only Dell really supports desktop Linux. Specifically, Dell offers a nice selection of PCs running Ubuntu Linux. But what Dell hasn't done is come out and announce that they are working on Google's beta Chrome OS. Other vendors, such as Acer, HP and Lenovo, are on board with Chrome. Regardless, Dell is actually the first big-time vendor to have released a version of Chrome OS designed to work with one of their netbooks.
This isn't an official beta, though; it's a skunkworks project. In a blog posting, Dell technology strategist Doug Anson revealed that he and some of his work friends decided to try to get Chrome OS running on a Dell Mini 10v netbook. They were successful. Sort of.
You can see for yourself. Anson wrote that he has released a USB image file. (The file name is ChromiumOS_Mini10v_Nov25.img) "It contains a functioning image of my USB key loaded with ChromiumOS," wrote Anson. "In addition, I have made a best effort attempt to get the Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter working in this image. It's definitely not perfect (read: highly experimental, untested, unstable, yada yada...) but it does appear to function."
That Dell is working with Chrome OS shouldn't be much of a surprise. Dell hinted that they might give Chrome OS a try back in July, after Google announced the project. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has also long working on Chrome OS with Google, and Ubuntu is Dell's number one Linux for desktops.
Additionally, Google and Dell also work together on servers. Google's high-end Google search appliance, the GB-9009, for example, is built on Dell's PowerEdge R710 rack server.
The Mini 10v is, as you might have guessed, one of Dell's PCs that already comes with Ubuntu as an option, but this is a very experimental release. Still, as a USB-based distribution, it can't harm your 10v — if something goes wrong or it doesn't work you just remove the USB drive and reboot — so it's worth playing with if you like experimenting with Linux's newest bleeding-edge distribution.
But as Anson points out, "This image comes with absolutely no support of any kind and is to be considered highly experimental and completely unstable [but] with a network connection, ChromiumOS shines. The Chromium browser is extremely fast and makes for a great web-centric browsing experience. Boot time appears quick too — about 12 seconds from hitting the power button." Sounds like good Linux techie fun to me!

Harsha(Redirected from Harshavardhana)
Harsha (c. 590–647 CE), also known as Harshavardhana, was an Indian emperor who ruled North India from 606 to 647 CE. He was a member of the Pushyabhuti dynasty; and was the son of Prabhakarvardhana who defeated the Alchon Huna invaders,[2] and the younger brother of Rajyavardhana, a king of Thanesar, present-day Haryana. At the height of Harsha's power, his Empire covered much of North and Northwestern India, extended East till Kamarupa, and South until Narmada River; and eventually made Kannauj (in present Uttar Pradesh state) his capital, and ruled till 647 CE.[3] Harsha was defeated by the south Indian Emperor Pulakeshin II of the Chalukya dynasty when Harsha tried to expand his Empire into the southern peninsula of India.[4]
Coin of Harshavardhana, circa 606-647 CE.[1]
|Ruler of North India
|c. 606 – c. 647 CE
|Pushyabhuti (Vardhana)
The peace and prosperity that prevailed made his court a centre of cosmopolitanism, attracting scholars, artists and religious visitors from far and wide.[3] During this time, Harsha converted to Buddhism from Surya worship.[5] Harsha studied in the University of Nalanda. The Chinese traveller Xuanzang visited the court of Harsha and wrote a very favourable account of him, praising his justice and generosity.[3] His biography Harshacharita ("Deeds of Harsha") written by Sanskrit poet Banabhatta, describes his association with Thanesar, besides mentioning the defence wall, a moat and the palace with a two-storied Dhavalagriha (white mansion).[6][5]
After the downfall of the Gupta Empire in the middle of the 6th century, North India was split into several independent kingdoms. The northern and western regions of India passed into the hands of a dozen or more feudatory states. Prabhakara Vardhana, the ruler of Sthanvisvara, who belonged to the Pushyabhuti family, extended his control over neighbouring states. Prabhakar Vardhan was the first king of the Vardhana dynasty with his capital at Thaneswar. After Prabhakar Vardhan's death in 605, his eldest son, Rajya Vardhana, ascended the throne. Harsha Vardhana was Rajya Vardhana's younger brother. This period of kings from the same line has been referred to as the Vardhana dynasty in many publications.[7][8][9] [10]
According to major evidences, Harsha, like the Guptas, was of the Vaishya Varna.[11] The Chinese traveler Xuanzang mentions an emperor named Shiladitya, who had been claimed to be Harsha.[12] Xuanzang mentions that this king belonged to "Fei-she". This word is generally restored as "Vaishya" (a varna or social class).[13]
Rajya Vardhana's and Harsha's sister Rajyashri had been married to the Maukhari king, Grahavarman. This king, some years later, had been defeated and killed by king Devagupta of Malwa and after his death Rajyashri had been cast into prison by the victor. Harsha's brother, Rajya Vardhana, then the king at Thanesar, could not stand this affront on his family, marched against Devagupta and defeated him. But it so happened at this moment that Shashanka, king of Gauda in Eastern Bengal, entered Magadha as a friend of Rajyavardhana, but in secret alliance with the Malwa king. Accordingly, Sasanka treacherously murdered Rajyavardhana.[14] On hearing about the murder of his brother, Harsha resolved at once to march against the treacherous king of Gauda and killed Shashanka in a battle. Harsha ascended the throne at the age of 16.
As North India reverted to small republics and small monarchical states ruled by Gupta rulers after the fall of the prior Gupta Empire, Harsha united the small republics from Punjab to central India, and their representatives crowned him king at an assembly in April 606 giving him the title of Maharaja. Harsha adopted Buddhism[5] and established the Empire of Harsha which brought all of northern India under his control.[3] The peace and prosperity that prevailed made his court a center of cosmopolitanism, attracting scholars, artists and religious visitors from far and wide. The Chinese traveler Xuanzang visited the court of Harsha, and wrote a very favourable account of him, praising his justice and generosity.[3]
Pulakeshin II defeated Harsha on the banks of Narmada in the winter of 618-619 A.D.[15][16]
Harsha is widely believed to be the author of three Sanskrit plays Ratnavali, Nagananda and Priyadarsika.[17] While some believe (e.g., Mammata in Kavyaprakasha) that it was Bana, Harsha's court poet who wrote the plays as a paid commission, Wendy Doniger is "persuaded, however, that king Harsha really wrote the plays ... himself."[17]

Is the maximum number of sustainable interrupts per second determined by
CPU speed, PCI bus speed, both, or other factors? Is there an equation to
determine the theoretic maximum number of sustainable interrupts on a
given system?
I'm curious because I currently run a squid cache on a FreeBSD 5.3 machine
doing about 1.6 million hits per day on a 400 mhz PII CPU with a 3c905
(xl driver) ethernet card. The cache sees a business day average of probably
1Mbit/s, peaking at full T1 throughput and troughing at just below 500kbit/s.
This machine sees about 600 to 700 interrupts per second when under full load.
Over 500 of those interrupts are generated by xl0.
How is this relevent to m0n0wall? Well, I assume that fxp cards with link0
enabled would have a higher maximum throughput due to link0's IRQ mitigation.
I have a number of fxp cards and xl cards on hand, so I could test this theory.
But how do I query the number of interrupts per second on a m0n0wall box? It has
no vmstat or systat.
And to restate the first question, how many interrupts are too many?
I hope this question is on topic. Thanks!

Still, sci-fi and fantasy that is actually motivated by the issues surrounding women is a rarity.

Is Queen Latifah The New Oprah? [VIDEO]
The Queen is back on daytime, and no I'm not talking about Oprah. Queen Latifah talks about her new daytime talk show and admits to biting Oprah's style!
Rapper turned producer, manager, producer, author and actress Dana Owens, better known as Queen Latifah, is launching a new daytime TV show called "The Queen Latifah Show" September 16th on CBS.
Her return to daytime talk was actually Will & Jada Smith's idea. She talks about how it all came together in this CBS Interview below!
It looked like Gayle King (Oprah's Best Friend) was ready to roll her eyes when Queen Latifah revealed her first guest is John Travolta! We all know that is one of Oprah Winfrey's go-to guests.
I think it's cool that the big Q aspires to be like the big O, but hopefully the Queen Latifah Show will be more than a rerun of the best of the Oprah Winfrey Show.
What do you think?

BERLIN (May. 31)
The Provisional Government of Israel is willing to conduct trade with the zones of Germany or a united Germany, Dr. Karl Liebstein, its representative here, declared today.
He pointed out that restitution to Jews victimized by the Hitler regime, made in nearly worthless Reichsmarks, would serve little purpose for those Jews who had managed to escape from Germany to Palestine during the Nazi regime, leaving their property behind. It would, however, be extremely useful, he stated, if this restitution could be made in the form of shipments of much-needed industrial goods to the new state.
Dr. Liebstein revealed that since the creation of the state of Israel there has been a steady stream of applications for admission to the new state from among the members of the handful of Jewish communities still left in Germany. Of the pre-Hitler Jewish population of Germany, estimated at a half million, only about 12,000 survive is postwar Germany, living as part of the German population.These are apart from the thousands officially classified as displaced persons.

Well, this is one way to turn a career around… Lindsay Lohan, who hasn't had a starring role in a movie since 2007, has agreed to strip down for Playboy in exchange for a reported just under $1 million. Apparently, the deal has been in the works for months, with Lindz eventually agreeing to show off her ginger bush once Hugh Hefner and Co. got close to her asking price. (She apparently scoffed at their initial offer of $750K — as if!).
Now, I don't actually know that Lindsay will go completely bottomless (or that she actually has any bush left, as the prepubescent look is still all the rage!) as some celebs who pose for the nudie mag keep their spreads tame in comparison to the no-name centerfolds. All that being said, $1 million bucks is a lot for Hef to spend on just some titties, so, you know, if you've been dying to see what LiLo's fire crotch is made of, this is probably as close as you'll get.

Can't really vouch for the Tribune's assessment of budget needs, one way or the other, but this is the gist of it:
Two years ago, you'll recall, all was comfy-cozy: Quinn agreed not to lay off AFSCME members, or close institutions where they worked, at least until mid-2012. And AFSCME put considerable muscle behind Quinn, arguably making the difference in his slim victory in the November 2010 general election.
By the end of the honeymoon, though, Quinn and AFSCME were throwing dishes. The governor, declaring a "rendezvous with reality," has tried to reduce state head counts and close some facilities, necessary moves we support. He also wants to reform the profoundly unsustainable pension system for state employees. And a nasty dispute over Quinn's decision not to award a contracted wage hike to many AFSCME members he says legislators didn't appropriate enough money is in litigation....
...AFSCME says Quinn's negotiators want to move employees down two pay grades, then freeze wages and steps for two years. And workers' health costs would increase. "For many employees," the union says, "this would represent a $10,000 pay cut next year." The governor's office responds that AFSCME members make, on average, 23 percent more than their peers in comparable states and that, even with the changes being discussed, their benefits would remain better than those that employees receive in the private sector or in other state governments.
AFSCME hasn't threatened to strike; the union's allusion to "direct action" starts with such benign activities as union members taking "community walks" in green T-shirts. But, judging by the tone of a Monday communique to members, AFSCME is raising the possibility of a strike without precedent. Two headlines and a lengthy section of the three-page document praise Chicago Teachers Union members who "were sick and tired of being blamed for all of the shortcomings of a system that was poorly run by those at the top and lacked the resources to do the job right."

Conventiculum Dickinsoniense (2009–)
A six-day immersion seminar in active Latin led by Terence Tunberg and Milena Minkova.
Dickinson Latin Summer Workshop (2006–)
A six-day reading seminar intended for teachers of Latin, as a way to refresh the mind through study of an extended Latin text, and to share experiences and ideas.
Dickinson Latin Workshop (2001–)
A full-day Saturday workshop with a visiting scholar.
July 5-11, 2017
The Conventiculum Dickinsoniense is an immersion seminar designed for all cultivators of Latin who wish to acquire some ability at ex-tempore expression in Latin. A wide range of people can benefit from the seminar: professors in universities, teachers in secondary schools, graduate students, undergraduates, and other lovers of Latin, provided that anyone who considers applying has a solid understanding of the grammatical essentials of the Latin language. A minimum requirement for participation is knowledge of Latin grammar and the ability to read a Latin text of average complexity, even if using a dictionary often. But no previous experience in speaking Latin is necessary. Sessions will be aimed at helping participants to increase their ability to use Latin effectively in spoken discourse and to understand others speaking in Latin. After the first evening reception (in which any language may be spoken), Latin will be the language used throughout the seminar. Participants will be involved in intensive activity each day from morning until early evening (with breaks for lunch and mid-afternoon pauses). They will experience Latin conversations on topics ranging from themes in literature and art all the way to the routines and activities of daily life, and will enjoy the benefits of reading and discussing texts in the target language. Activities will involve both written and spoken discourse, both of which engage the active faculties of expression, and each of which is complementary to the other. The seminar will not merely illustrate how active Latin can be a useful tool for teachers, it will show how developing an active facility in Latin can directly and personally benefit any cultivator of Latin who wishes to acquire a more instinctive command of the language and a more intimate relationship with Latin writings.

DICKINSON LATIN SUMMER WORKSHOP: Prudentius' Psychomachia
The Dickinson Summer Latin Workshop is intended for teachers of Latin, as a way to refresh the mind through study of an extended Latin text, and to share experiences and ideas with Latinists and teachers. Sometimes those who are not currently engaged in teaching have participated as well, including retired teachers and those working towards teacher certification.
Marc Mastrangelo (Dickinson College)
Christopher Francese (Dickinson College)
The text for 2017 will be Prudentius' Psychomachia. This miniature epic of 915 hexameter lines dramatizes the "Battle of the Soul," pitting colorful and articulate dramatizations of the virtues and vices in mortal combat.
Prudentius (died after AD 405) was from Roman Spain. He practiced law and was twice provincial governor, perhaps in his native country, before the emperor Theodosius I summoned him to court. Towards the end of his life Prudentius retired from public life to become an ascetic, fasting until evening and abstaining entirely from animal food, and writing poems, hymns, and controversial works in defense of Catholicism.
Prudentius' elegant and vigorous Latin has earned him the title "The Roman Vergil," and the Psychomachia creatively uses many phrases and ideas from Vergil's works, especially the Aeneid.

Please keep in mind that the participation fee of $300, once it has been received by the seminar's organizers, is not refundable. This is an administrative necessity.
Lodging: accommodations will be in a student residence hall near the site of the sessions. The building features suite-style configurations of two double rooms sharing a private bathroom, or one double and one single room sharing a private bathroom.
The first event will be an introductory dinner at 6:00 p.m., July 12. The final session ends at noon on July 17, with lunch to follow. Sessions will meet from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. each day, with the afternoons left free for preparation.

Tribune Opinion: We're glad to see strong interest in school board
March 15, 2013
Six people have made themselves candidates to replace the retiring Judy Kron on the Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education.
We're glad to see so many applicants. That's an important position. We don't need to reiterate the crucial role that education — and the quality of the public schools — plays in the health of a community. This is particularly true in Greeley, where the challenges and opportunities both are significant.
Retired teacher Roger DeWitt, public affairs specialist Laurel LaBonde, retired consultant Jean Daviet, photographer Stan Kerns, arborist Ron Brecheisen and Logan Mahan, who works in retail management, all applied to replace Kron.
Kron resigned Jan. 28 after eight years on the board to focus her time on The Success Foundation Serving Greeley-Evans, a nonprofit foundation formed to raise money to support students and teachers in District 6.
We're not ready to say which candidate we prefer, but we are happy to see such interest in the spot. We know that a position on the school board can be demanding. It takes a significant time commitment and the issues are weighty. The decisions the board makes also often evoke strong passions from all sides, and the job frequently is thankless.
Despite these challenges, the district needs good candidates. With a significant number of students in poverty and a continual increase in refugee students who come to the school without the language and social skills they need to succeed, the job of District 6 educators has never been more difficult. However, with the recent passage of the bond measure to help pay for the new John Evans I.B. Middle School and a brightening economic picture in Greeley, there is a renewed sense of optimism about the schools. The opportunities for the school district to thrive are real. The school board will, of course, play a significant role both in addressing the challenges and seizing the opportunities.
We'd like to thank all the candidates who came forward and wish the district well as it seeks to find the right member as the board conducts interviews and makes its decision Monday.

Cereal maker Kellogg (NYSE:K) is trying to expand the appeal of its cereals beyond the young.
Kellogg — along with rival General Mills (NYSE:GIS) — is developing breakfast cereals with more nutrients and less sugar, Brandchannel reports.
The companies are adopting the new strategy in response to changing diet patterns among the better off. Consumers who have higher incomes are placing a premium on more healthy eating and are open to the idea of having a more nutritious breakfast cereal.
Kellogg CEO John Bryant recently told analysts that the company wasn't losing the lower-end and young consumers, but that those with more money were eating less of his company's products.
"I don't think they're really that price-sensitive. The real issue there is innovation," Bryant said.
Kellogg is hoping to maintain the success seen when the company extended the brand reach of its "Special K" cereal with breakfast bars and other new products. In addition, the company is adding nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids to its cereals to appeal to the older demographic.
General Mills also is on the bandwagon. The company's short-term goal is to reduce the sodium in its top 10 product groups — including snacks and soups — by 20% by 2015.
