Usability testing not only increases the website usability but also helps in analyzing
your website design's strengths and weaknesses. This approach is very effective
and produces valuable results in any step of the design process. Experts from Techved
Consulting draw results about usability of the site/application with the help of
a set of predefined usability principles. Our aim is to achieve an overall ease
of use, effectiveness and user satisfaction. Violations of common usability principles
are documented so that the next iterative design can be aimed at solving the usability
problems. As no test participants are required, we can conduct an evaluation at
short notice and report results quickly for the design team to take action.

Men Wedding Rings with Different Type of Metals-Choose a wedding ring may be a difficult decision to make, because most people have experience, selection rings are limited, and there are so many options to choose from. We sell a variety of rings in all materials and a major change have seen in recent years.
It moves from gold (actually quite harmless) materials such as titanium and stainless steel. The ingredients of this refrain from 'new' material the more traditional in every way and is much cheaper. Especially new materials is much more strong, hard, and permanently scratch-resistant. It has great benefits for people, to have a lot of work with the hands; She should not their rings and turns constantly… If you need much rings is lost at the end and who needs the hassle?
These new materials are resistant to chemicals and Hypo group free rooms available; a response with you or something not tapped. Another advantage is… interesting color options offering a range of different colors, different emotional sensitivity. If you really bright go for the steel, white metal, the same color as the Platinum, but for a fraction of the price and more difficult. If you like slightly thinner than titanium, that which has the appearance of grey would be it. Reinforced with brushed finish. If you like black, go for any color of zirconium, a metal, but the black majority. Choose a ring that will never scratch a tungsten ring (diamond only harder!)
Another very popular choice of mixed metal ring. These new materials have been used as the most ring and then force, the other metal bands were cut. The most popular choice for this is basis of the ring of titanium (grey) with clear silver, gold or Platinum.
Here are some information if you are not fully developed,
1 After a year of wear and tear made of steel or titanium ring, it is much better than a gold or Platinum Rings.
2 If you do the work by hand, you need the ring made of steel or titanium and also faster, that it is not necessary. I built a House of a stainless steel ring wear and still look good.
3.6 mm clamp Platinum course costs around £850 am. A steel ring costs £20 00 and more Platinum live band along hotel on a map of the Dominican Republic.
4. do not even think to buy rhodium white gold, wedding rings for men. Gold looks fantastic in a shop but be rhodium plated in recent months shows a color champagne, diminish its original white gold. You can buy wedding rings white gold is something not out of white color, but there is, built not in the course of time.
5. new materials the book of rules on costs is rewritten and we sell many combining exotic titanium/Platinum for hundreds of pounds, but more 20 lb £-30 wedding ring holder for sale. Therefore not be delayed, or think that there is something wrong with the burden of wedding ring only £20.
6. many people think fresh contemporary appearance and flat top ring. Only you feel within a particular person. Usually a curved upper ring, which makes more sense.
7. the most women choose 3 mm ring-4 mm, while the majority of men between 5 mm and 7 mm depending on the size of their hands.
8. the principle of the majority of people want to couple the wedding rings and if nothing is decided the lighter option.
9 best order wedding rings at least 6 weeks before the big day.
10 sell titanium rings, more than a stainless steel ring, but everyone in our stainless steel shop. For this reason-titanium sound and it has play cold attached to it, a lot of mysticism in stainless steel every day. Stainless steel is but for me a white color very nice to him, much like Platinum, while a dark titanium. Only color resemble the rest really. So I do not exclude steel, is our favorite.
11. don't get too obsessed with glossy or matte finish, I need? After several months of ring visit all the same… See a piece of old cutting steel, and get the idea. The ring can be returned completely in seconds without any side effects.
12. Be sure that the ring has a curve, known as 'the Court', this match would be comfortable.

Hillary Clinton's Popularity on the Campaign Trail
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is widely seen as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination two years from now. But many Democrats running for office in the midterm elections this November see her as a controversial figure and don't want her joining them on the campaign trail.
MADELEINE BRAND, host:
Hillary Clinton - love her, hate her. That's the tagline on the cover of this week's Time magazine.
Polls confirm that almost every American has a strong opinion about Hillary. But our Mike Pesca says hold on a second. Before we talk about the presidential race of 2008, let's talk about the impact Hillary is having on the congressional elections this year.
MIKE PESCA reporting:
Last week Hillary Clinton unveiled her first official ad for her Senate campaign.
Senator HILLARY CLINTON (Democrat, New York): New Yorkers took a chance on me in 2000 and I have worked hard every single day to deserve that chance.
PESCA: It's a race where all the drama is self generated, because Team Clinton has implied that how Hillary does in rural New York is an indication of her appeal in other rural areas across the country.
Of course in a presidential election she may be running against a guy like John McCain, who everyone knows. And in New York she may be running against a guy named John Spencer, who almost no one knows.
In fact, Hillary's own race is perhaps the least competitive one she's appearing in. She's been stumping and fundraising for candidates across the country. But she doesn't have the kind of open invitation that's been extended to a couple of the higher profile Republicans.
Jennifer Duffy is an analyst with the Cook Political Report.
Ms. JENNIFER DUFFY (Cook Political Report): John McCain can go almost anywhere in the country and raise money. Interestingly enough Rudy Giuliani, can go anywhere in the country and raise money, because he gets to go as a 9/11 hero and not the very, very moderate Republican that he is.
PESCA: Mrs. Clinton certainly gets crowds going, just not in places with multiple country music stations on the radio.
Mr. DAN GERSTEIN (Democratic Political Consultant): In very blue states she is a rock star. There's no question about it.
PESCA: New York-based Democratic political consultant Dan Gerstein says Senator Clinton has regional appeal.
Mr. GURSTEIN: I don't think that Mrs. Clinton is going to play as well in Tennessee as probably she's going to play in California or New York.
PESCA: Senator Clinton has campaigned heavily in some states like Ohio and Pennsylvania where the vote was tight in the last presidential election. But in others she's fundraised from afar.
Ann Lewis is the communication director for Senator Clinton's campaign.
Ms. ANN LEWIS (Communication Director, Hillary Clinton Campaign): For example, she did an event for Sherrod Brown. She has made a maximum contribution to him. And she also went to Ohio on June 24th to do events for him there.
For Bob Casey she has headlined two events, one in Chicago and one in Philadelphia. For Harold Ford she hosted an event at her home here in Washington.
PESCA: Has she been in to Tennessee on behalf of Harold Ford?
Ms. LEWIS: No. She's done it in Washington, as she has with a number of other candidates. It sort of depends on the candidate.
PESCA: Depending on the Republican candidate, Hillary Clinton often does become a factor in the race, but as a rhetorical punching bag. Take Nebraska, where Republican Pete Ricketts is challenging Democratic Senator Ben Nelson.
Mr. PETE RICKETTS (Senate Candidate): I'm Pete Ricketts. I approve this message because I'll vote to cut your taxes. As the Clinton/Kennedy Democrats control the Senate, they promise to raise your taxes. Together we can stop them.
PESCA: And at least one Democrat has told Senator Clinton to stay away, says the Cook Political Report's Jennifer Duffy.
Ms. DUFFY: Missouri is interesting because the Democratic Senate candidate has suggested that she didn't think that having Clinton in the state to raise money for her would be helpful.
PESCA: Hillary Clinton can raise a lot of money for a candidate. But in some states she also raises problems. That fact is undeniably an indication of her chances of appealing to a national audience.
But it's far from a definitive referendum. Some Republicans are finding the specter of Hillary Clinton a useful boogeyman in 2006. That has little to do with an actual Hillary Clinton running for president in 2008.
One election at a time every, good candidate will say. But raising money, stumping when requested, and staying away when asked all add up to chits to be collected down the road.

When Charles Weinstein, CEO of accounting firm EisnerAmper, wants to learn about new technologies being introduced at his firm, he takes a shortcut. He turns to Xiaoxin Ding, 30, a Dartmouth graduate and special-project manager at the New York City firm, who is his mentor in a pilot program called Technology Tutors that is soon to be rolled out at the firm. "He's making me into an Excel maven," said Weinstein.
Though it might be intimidating for some employees to coach their CEO, Ding has taken it in stride. "He's genuinely interested in technology, which makes it super easy," said Ding.
Welcome to the fast-changing New York City accounting world, where many firms are on a constant quest to keep their teams on the cutting edge. They must do so at a time when the country makes the transition from the administration of President Barack Obama to President-elect Donald Trump, who campaigned on plans for sweeping tax reform.
In the articles below, accountants from local firms of all sizes share insight into the 2017 tax and health care landscape for individuals and businesses, how they are fighting the talent wars, the realities facing accounting startups in New York City and what it takes to turn around troubled companies today.
As Weinstein, who recently invited a futurist to speak to his firm about trends like artificial intelligence and self-driving cars, put it, "There is profound change coming down the pike. It's coming for our profession, too." The good news is that many New York City accounting firms are ready for it.
When Businesses Struggle, This Accountant Steps In
Although business optimism is high at the moment, some firms in New York face big headwinds. That may be because of industry-wide challenges, as in retail, or factors unique to the company. When a business falters, working with an accountant skilled in financial turnarounds can mean the difference between survival and failure.
High-Net-Worth New Yorkers Prepare for Tax Reform
Some of the most significant changes President-elect Trump is proposing to the tax code will affect high-net-worth individuals. Given New York City's significant population of affluent taxpayers, many accountants are preparing for a busy 2017.
Accountants Wait for Clarity on Trump's Plans for the Affordable Care Act
President-elect Trump's proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act is keeping New York City accountants on their toes.
Accounting Startups Need Purpose and Promotion to Grow
Launching a new accounting firm in the New York City area takes guts. Between the Big Four accounting firms and the many strong midsize players in the New York City market, fledgling firms face daunting competition.
Talent Wars Force Accounting Firms to Raise Their Game
Ask any recent college graduate who the hot employers are this year, and they will probably name a company like Google or Facebook.
Individual Taxpayers Rush to Reap Tax Savings
When New Yorkers do their tax returns this year, many could be in for some welcome news. Under President-elect Donald Trump's proposals, many individuals may potentially see lower taxes.
Businesses Gear Up for Changing Tax Laws in 2017
CPA Craig Savell's phone has been ringing since the election. He often advises manufacturing firms in New York City and throughout the East Coast with $100 million in revenue or more. They want to know what Trump's tax reform agenda will mean for their companies.

Everyone knows and loves simplistic LBDs. It was made famous by the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys and by the amazing Miss Coco Chanel. So, this is a bit of a stylish challenge that we have set for ourselves. We shall attempt to....
Every week, present a new outfit using the little black dress
Yes lovely followers/readers, something new to look forward to every weekend :)
Without further ado, presenting Vess wearing our Little Black Dress
|edited by our lovely friend Sandra!
A bit of a challenge, a bit of fun, a bit of creativity, a bit of big picture stuff.
-keep stylish-

Spin resolved Photoemission Microscope
Magnetic nanostructures are at the heart of modern data storage technology. Typical dimensions of magnetic bits are in the sub-100nm region. In addition novel magnetoelectronics devices such as magnetic random access memory junctions are operated on the sub-100nm m scale. An understanding magnetic properties of such low-dimensional structures is only accessible to spectro-microscopy tools capable of appropriate lateral resolution. This goal is achieved by combining a novel spin-resolved photoemission microscope (SPEEM) with a dedicated microfocus PGM beamline with full x-ray polarization control (UE49-PGMa).
The synergy between the microscopy capabilities of the PEEM and the polarization control of synchrotron radiation makes of X-PEEM the ideal tool for space resolved and element selective investigation of nanostructures by means of chemical maps (XAS) and magnetic imaging (XMCD and XLD).

Companies that have massive amounts of data struggle to index and search these large content repositories in a timely, cost-effective manner. We are able to search over a billion records on a single Database Search Appliance. We are excited to be able to be involved in the important work of genealogy and be associated with such a visionary company as OneGreatFamily.com.
Orem, Utah (PRWEB) October 12, 2009
Perfect Search Corporation (http://www.PerfectSearchCorp.com) announces today that OneGreatFamily.com has contracted to install the Perfect Search Database Search Appliance for Oracle to search the more than 200 million names submitted to OneGreatFamily.com that are stored within their Oracle database. At http://www.OneGreatFamily.com, users enter names, dates, and facts about their family tree. The site compares this information against its details for more than 200 million names already published in other family trees - and it continues searching as hundreds of thousands of new names are added each week. When exact matches of information are found, the trees are automatically merged.
Alan Eaton, CEO of OneGreatFamily.com, said, "The number of searches and matches that we perform is staggering. In fact, OneGreatFamily.com (http://www.OneGreatFamily.com) makes more than 18.8 TRILLION comparisons of family information per week! As the amount of data increases, our demands on our infrastructure grow as well. We expect the tools we'll be implementing from Perfect Search to greatly increase our searching capability, to improve our ability to index and search hundreds of millions of names in our Oracle database, and to accelerate the process of getting results."
"We are honored to be able to provide search for such a wonderful, mission driven company," states Tim Stay, CEO of Perfect Search. "Our Database Search Appliance for Oracle is specially designed to search across all the fields within an Oracle database, including text content, and to provide blistering indexing and query speeds.

So, this weekend I spent a day with a nearby friend, and she showed off the LED Christmas lights on her tree (which she purchased from a competitor which shall remain unnamed, pooh on her) – they were very pretty. However, her family is used to warmer lights on their Christmas tree, and the LED strands she used included more blue and purple colors, along with cooler white bulbs.
Being a crafter, she had to experiment on the LED lights herself. What worked in the end was an application of alcohol inks from her rubber stamping hobby! She applied Butterscotch Ink from the Ranger Inks-Adirondack reinkers collection, and the white bulbs were warmed right up to a rich, golden shade.
She also tried this color on some of the purple bulbs, and they took on a lovely peach shade when dark, but still glowed purple when illuminated, so that didn't work. She ended up buying an extra strand of white, coloring a handful of the lights, and substituting them on her strand.
Just so you know, LED lights come in a variety of colors and in two shades of white, cool and warm. –Oh, and I was just looking in the online store, and our warm lights are on special right now – check it out.
Hope your lights are glowing on this cold winter day!
~Janet @ The Christmas Place


text: I have a recital this coming december and had the amazing Idea to find an awesome score of disney medleys from either the parks or popular songs from disney movies. Unfortunately, I can't really find any! Do disney medleys actually exist? The people I see playing them on youtube are either playing them by heart or have written them themselves. If anyone knows of any such scores for intermediate piano, please let me know the title of it and where I might be able to find it so I can order it asap! Thanks!

There are hundreds of unlicensed "jitney" drivers all over the city primarily driving seniors and low income people to and from grocery stores doctors appointments for a flat-fee. Additionally, there are countless enterprising car-owners, many of them off-duty or former cabbies who've recognized the lack of transportation and inconsistent taxi service in this city and are out there providing people uninterested in driving drunk with transportation to and from bars every weekend. These drivers often have their own business cards, but what they don't have are "Certificates of Public Convenience," or any other special license or insurance required by law to provide that service. The reason you don't hear Campolongo complaining about that is because they pose no real threat to the PTG (Yellow Cab) monopoly in Pittsburgh. LYFT on the other hand does pose a threat. Why? Because the drivers ARE screened, and they ARE insured and they MAY ACTUALLY SHOW UP ON TIME to GIVE YOU A RIDE FOR A REASONABLE PRICE! If you are willing to click "I ACCEPT" to some terms and conditions on your phone and take on the risk of getting into a LYFT car, then you should be allowed to do just that. I suspect the result will be that a car will appear and take you where you want to go. I encourage everyone to throw their full support behind this service. The only way Yellow cab will ever get better is if they have some damn competition.
This adds nothing to the quality of life of existing Mt. Washington residents unless additional traffic and pollution are somehow of interest to anyone. No use is better than this use. Also why is the only alternative a 100M luxury hotel? How about an intelligently designed hotel that is accessible to more than just a privileged few? If executed correctly a hotel like that would be endlessly profitable, create jobs and allow more residents and visitors to enjoy one of the most magnificent views in the entire city.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Maggie Siff talked about the death of her [Sons of Anarchy](series:201186) character Tara. She spoke at length about various things on the production but ultimately she wished every action to be true to her character and true to Jax. She also explains that her favorite scene was in fact the 'park scene' which featured in her final episode.
Here's what she had to say below:
For me, the question was really, am I really afraid that he's going to kill me? And I think Charlie felt similarly: is this really a consideration? Having to dig and find that place where that could be true was the hard work of the episode — finding all of the love that she had for this man in addition to the terror that she has arrived at. So that was some of my conversation with Kurt. And then I also knew it was, for myself, really the last significant scene that you would ever really see between them. There's the scene in the hotel room and some stuff that follows, but the life of those characters together kind of culminates in that scene. It felt particularly significant for that reason.
In relation to the question over whether her character and Jax would ever get back together and the ambiguity on whether he was going to kill her in the hotel scene; she gave us a bit of an insight.
I don't believe that the intention was to make you think twice about whether or not he was going to kill her. I think we wanted to show that they find each other again before she is taken...
...Kurt wanted it to be a very Romeo and Juliet moment, for the tragedy to be that she's snatched away just when they've found each other again. So I think what we were playing was the tentativeness of touching each other again... you see them in the beginnings of something resembling the start of happiness.
She spoke a little further on the fan's reaction to her death in the show and there have been some surprising, quite sweet and down right strange responses to her exit.
I'm not a big social media person, but in terms of what people have said to me out and about on the street, I get everything from, "I can't believe they killed you off. How could they do that? I'm done!" to "You had to go." I saw Katey the other day, and she said she went to a fan gathering, and people were coming up to her with carving forks to sign. People have different investments in different characters, but people were definitely shocked and upset to some degree or other.
With relation to the latest season, Maggie said that she had not read the scripts and would prefer to watch it television stating that:
...it's going to be weird and kind of great to just watch it.
So how did you feel about Tara's death?

News and rumors about upcoming movies.
We all have shameful secrets, but when we meet someone new it can be easy to consider it a clean slate. Do you share the skeletons in your closet and face the consequences? Or do you start a new life and hope the secrets are never revealed? For Charlie Bronson (Dax Shepard, who also writes and directs), that question is a bit more complicated. After outing his former bank-robbing friends and hiding away in witness protection, Charlie's skeletons are a bit scarier than most. Hit & Run opens with a tender moment between Charlie and his girlfriend, Annie (Kristen Bell). His past quietly tucked away, they seem like the perfectly happy couple. In fact, with actors Bell and Shepard married in real life, their magnetic charm almost feels like cheating. The genuine love comes... Read Review

Dogs, alcohol and drag artists were banned on TV sets, BBC archive shows
History buffs can learn about the early days of television, which included rules against bringing dogs on set and a fear of alcohol in studios becoming "unmanageable", at a new BBC archive to mark 80 years on screen.
The micro-site from BBC History launches today featuring archive material from the 1930s to the 1950s such as the programming for the coronations of King George VI in 1937 and Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
But as well as early TV moments, it also lets users learn about great moments in the small screen's history - the opening night at Alexandra Palace in 1936, the battle between the Marconi-EMI partnership and the Baird Company to be the top technology provider, and the first ever TV theme tune performed by the BBC Television Orchestra and musical comedy star Adele Dixon.
A new era in broadcasting brought with it a new set of rules, and the archive shows that these involved a ban on dogs, men in drag, and alcohol on set.
Internal memos to staff at the time warned that if alcohol "got a foothold at Alexandra Palace it would sooner or later spread to Maida Vale and Broadcasting House, and possibly become unmanageable".
The records show that high-profile celebrities of the day were keen to visit Alexandra Palace to appear on BBC TV cameras and see how a broadcast worked.
At its launch, TV was only on air between 3pm and 4pm, and then 9pm and 10pm in order to avoid eye strain and fit around domestic life, including children's bedtimes, but not everything about it initially proved popular with all viewers.
A social research organisation, Mass Observation, from 1949 detailed some people's views of the changes television brought, with O Barritt, a 28-year-old housewife, writing: "The worst of television, from a housewife's point of view, is it requires a darkened room, so that knitting or mending is out of the question."
Other worries were expressed by Mrs P Green, who wrote that: "A television set in the home would tend to make one lazy whereas if you go out to a show it means extra sprucing up (a joy to a woman who has been busy around the house most of the day)."
The archive also includes information about television going off air in 1939 for the duration of the Second World War.
Robert Seatter, head of BBC History, said: "We are delighted to mark this momentous occasion by sharing much never-before-seen material from the BBC archives.
"The anecdotes, images and recordings offer today's audiences a fascinating behind-the-scenes insight into the early days of television.
"It's also great to be doing this in partnership with media history experts from the University of Sussex and other UK research centres, who set our BBC story in the wider context of what was happening in communications and society."
The archive is available to view at http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/birth-of-tv

Eye Makeup Allergic Reaction
Patient : I tried a new eye makeup remover. I woke up the next day and my eyes were swollen and very puffy. It has been 48 hours, the swelling has reduced, yet my eyes are still puffy. I have tried an antihistime. Is there any way to reduce my swelling?
Doctor : The eyelid and the surrounding area are particularly vulnerable to allergic reactions because the skin is extremely thin and loose, allowing chemicals to penetrate more easily. This may cause the skin to swell more readily than on other parts of the face. The mainstay of allergy treatment is with anti-histamines and anti-inflammatories, usually in the form of steroid. The first step should be discontinued use of the cosmetic lotion. Regular anti-histamines together with a cold compress may help to reduce the swelling, which should resolve over time. You may also need to use hypo-allergic cosmetics in the future. If symptoms are not improving, you should attend your family doctor for possible prescription of a steroid ointment.

A Million Hands for Mudlarks
Great Amwell Scouts have been working with Mudlarks, a Hertford-based charity that helps adults with learning difficulties and mental health issues, as part of the Million Hands Challenge. "A Million Hands" is the community-based campaign launched by the Scout Association to mobilise half a million young people to support social issues across the UK. As part of this challenge, the Great Amwell Scouts learnt about issues including mental health and well-being, dementia and disability. The Scouts reflected on the impact these issues have on people's lives and what they can do to help.
Scouts completing their Community Impact Badge did 4 to 24 hours of charity work each, helping at various Mudlarks fund-raising events. Tasks included serving refreshments during a theatre production of "Canary Girls", a saxophone sextet garden recital and the inaugural river swim at Hartham Common. They also helped to tidy the Mudlarks allotments, ran fun stalls at the Open Day and worked at the Mudlarks café in central Hertford.
Graham Paul (Assistant Scout Leader) said "working with Mudlarks has provided our Scouts a wonderful opportunity to learn about the diversity of mental health issues and disabilities, to meet and help affected people, and to learn new life skills". Kevin Coghlan (café manager) said "Mudlarks would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all the help you and your team of Scouts provided over the last few months; you have helped enormously". Lucy Hunter (Mudlarks) also thanked the Great Amwell Scouts, adding "the Scouts have been superstars".
From left: Graham (Assistant Scout Leader), Miles, Robert, Oliver, Henry, Erin, Molly, Isabel, Madeline and Vic (Mudlarks Project Leader).
The quotes below from our Scouts illustrate their reflections and achievements following completion of the charity work.
Erin is now considering a future in social work: "I have learned that people with a mental illness can behave unexpectedly [and they] do not always realise what they are doing. I didn't realise how many different ways [there were] to raise money. Knowing I helped to change people's lives is a great privilege."
Miles: "I learnt that there is a large variety of mental illness and disability but that life can be restricted greatly by them, meaning that help is very useful for those affected. It [the volunteer work] made things easier and alleviated stress for Mudlarks [helpers and staff]. I learnt a few things about working as well as how some people are in need and can be affected differently."
Lloyd: learnt "even if people have a disability or mental health [issue], there are places where they can do worthwhile activities and feel safe. I enjoyed seeing the happy customers and their surprise when they saw Scouts were helping. I gained patience towards when I order a meal since I now see the time and effort put in but overall I felt pleased to be supporting a charity which helps people in need."
Oliver: learnt "It is hard for people to talk about it [mental health] because they are upset. If you have a disability, there is always something to achieve." Oliver enjoyed "helping people" and "supported them by raising money and allowing people to connect with the charity and each other".
Isabel: learnt "things that we take for granted can be a struggle for people with mental problems. I enjoyed the work experience of the café and the Six-on-Sax garden party; it gave me an idea of what it's like to work in a place like that. When I worked at the Mudlarks café, it showed people that having a disability can't stop them from having a normal life."
Molly: "I learnt that mental health affects a lot more people than I thought. I enjoyed knowing I was helping people, especially when we helped at the café [serving free samples to passersby] and they told us how much more money they made than usual. I learnt that you can really help people by giving up just a small amount of your time."
Robert: "I have learnt that if you are mentally disabled you need extra help and if you are disabled you might look different or act different. I enjoyed making people smile and I gained the skill to be nicer to disabled [people] as I understand that everyone is different."
Henry: "I learnt that you must be aware of people with mental health issues and it must be very hard for them. I did some stalls at their festival [allotment open day]. This helped by giving them an enjoyable time and earning money for Mudlarks."
Madeline: learnt "they are normal but need to be understood. I helped at the café in Hertford. I served people and cleaned up afterwards. [I will] try and introduce my school to Mudlarks."
Thomas: "learned the struggle people have to battle against in order to live. I plan later on to have an average life but if I see someone hurt or suffering I'll always try to help them. I participated in the Allotments Open Day [helping to run a stall] and raised money by packing peoples bags in Tesco's; the whole group [cubs] ended up raising around £240. I enjoyed the bag packing because it was nice to see who [customers] was really appreciative."
Charlotte: "realised that people with mental health problems or a disability are still no different to everyone else and you should treat them with respect. I enjoyed helping in Santa's grotto the most; it was nice to be able to meet all the children and everyone in the Mudlarks Community."
The 20th to 22nd May 2016 saw a hive of activity at Group HQ with the Group Scout Camp following on from our AGM. This Year the Theme for camp was Space. The Cub Leaders engaged in a Star Wars Themed battle on their respective bases, with the Leopards joining the Dark Side, enticing the youngsters with the promise of cookies and then launching them firmly into space on an inflatable spaceship... well Ok, they launched them down a water slide not into space! The Otter Jedis battled with the disturbance in the Force by recruiting everyone into the Jedi order and arming them all with lightsabres, having combat balance training on a slippery pole and then battling Deathstar pinatas. R2D2 was taken hostage by the Darkside Leopards, but the Jedi Otters tried several rescue attempts, revenge for which saw a demise of the poor Wookie! In between battles the kids were also entertained making and launching Bottle Rockets at the Scout Leader base, or designing their own space-themed solar system glow in the dark bags on the Beaver Leader base.
We were very fortunate this year to also have a base run by a Team from Bayfordbury Observatory, University of Hertfordshire. There were several interesting displays to explain how different colours seen in telescopes can tell us about the elements on other planets. There was also a fantastic mobile planetarium, which the kids really loved. We are very grateful to the Team from Bayfordbury for giving their time to us for free.
The rain mostly held off and the Cubs got to enjoy our new 6 man tents for the first time. This year the Beavers stayed overnight too, enjoying a sleepover in pop-up tents within the hall.
AGM reports summary:

Congratulations to the Otters Team for winning the 2015 Oxley Shield Challenge!
The Cubs Oxley Shield Trophy was presented to the District in 1929 by Commander Oxley of Wareside to be used in an Annual Challenge. Originally, the Challenge took place as just a 1-day event, but in more recent years has incorporated an overnight camping element. Each section within the District enter a team of 6 cubs comprising of 2 Cubs from each age group (i.e. 8, 9 and 10 year olds). The teams perform a series of Scouting related tasks throughout the day and earn points for their knowledge and skills as well as for general behaviour and teamwork. It is a very difficult challenge to win; this is the first time in 10 years since the Trophy has come back to Great Amwell!

Ubuntu says disk is full installed alongside windows and...
Hi all, My problem is as follows: I have vista installed on my notebook and I recently installed Ubuntu 9.0 alongside windows. When I try to update anything it says my disk is full. (There is over 200 gb free on drive) I can only assume that when installing it made a partition alongside windows and wasn't big enough!?! any suggestions??? Thank you in advance.
another quick question to go along with my first...
Out of curiosity, is it possible to uninstall Ubuntu and reinstall it on a partitioned drive and if so how do I go about this.
You may have more than one partition for Ubuntu, like one for /, one for /home, 1 for swap and so on. If /, /usr, /var and /tmp don't have enough space you can get low disk space errors pretty quickly. Can you open a terminal window and post the output of the command
sudo df -h
sudo apt-get clean
As for reinstalling on a partitioned disk, I'm not sure I understand what you mean because partitioning is part of the installation. If your partition are currently too full the easiest fix might be to reinstall Ubuntu and pay attention when creating partitions.

Like most of the country it has been very cold here.
To stay warm the family and I have been enjoying hot cocoa almost every day.
We have tried all sorts of concoctions and this recipe reminds us of a favorite leprechaun loving cereal.
It's so easy to make. You just need:
White chocolate cocoa mix
Pastel marshmallows (I used Kraft fun puff brand)
Pastel sprinkles
I am old school in that I like to gently warm my milk on the stove. Milk can scald or bubble over quite quickly in a microwave.
Using a copper pan the milk can be drinking temperature in about three minutes. You can also use a stainless steel pot as well. (I just like copper as it conducts heat quickly and evenly.)
Once the milk is warm just add in the cocoa and mix well.
Pour the cocoa into a really cute cup or mug because all cocoa simply tastes better in a cute mug. 🙂
This mug was a Christmas gift to me from the Fashionista. With the interior red polka dots and a darling dachshund on both sides it truly is my new favorite. She found it at Anthro.
Once your cocoa mixture is in the mug top it liberally with marshmallows and sprinkles.
I hope you enjoy our new family favorite.
I'd love to hear about your favorite winter beverage.

Career and technical education (CTE) programs are the key to educating tomorrow's workforce and preparing students for their future careers. In addition to CTE programs, career and technical student organizations (CTSO's) play an integral part in the success of CTE students looking to further their academic, technical, and soft skills as they become desirable candidates for employment. CareerSafe values the opportunities to build relationships with exceptional organizations that share the same ideals. This month we are highlighting SkillsUSA and the many opportunities members have to further their careers and develop as leaders. SkillsUSA's mission – "to empower our members to become world-class workers, leaders, and responsible American citizens" – illustrates the continuous effort the organization puts toward the success of their members. This year, SkillsUSA is celebrating 50 years of success. The organizations success is captured by their notable milestones and the ongoing efforts to bring attention to the future of CTE.
It is estimated that 83% of companies report a moderate to serious shortage of skilled workers. SkillsUSA encompasses 130 occupational programs including construction, engineering, consumer sciences, and multiple health occupations while also representing one quarter of the jobs offered by the U.S. economy. Through state and national competitions, SkillsUSA students are able to demonstrate their skills to key industry leaders. Because of these events, students are able to enter the workforce with an edge – "the technical ability to hit the ground running and the leadership ability to keep that ground steady." SkillsUSA recognizes the growing skills gap threatening America's economy in the upcoming years and is dedicated to help close this gap.
During this time, SkillsUSA has constructed a nationwide network consisting of educators, students, and industry leaders serving nearly 12 million members in all 50 states and four U.S. territories. With a network of partnerships comprised of more than 1,100 industry professionals – corporations, trade associations, and business and labor unions – a foundation has been set for student success. Members gain long-standing connections that help advance them in their future careers.
Along with a nationwide network, community service is an attribute gained by SkillsUSA members. Every year, state chapters complete thousands of community service and volunteer activities to give back to their local communities. Students develop, plan, and execute community service projects under the guidance of their peers and educators receiving effective hands-on training from inception of a project to the end. The culmination of their service work comes to a head with the National Week of Service, May 3-9, which brings attention to the importance of CTE and its value for the community.
SkillsUSA is a career and technical organization that is a valuable resource for CTE students. High school graduation rates for CTE students are exceptionally higher and that is true for SkillsUSA members as well. A survey of 1,200 SkillsUSA advisors in 2010 reported a 98% graduation rate for their high school members. CTSOs give students a place to feel welcome and inspired by others who possess similar interests. Surrounded by people with the same ambition to succeed can only motivate individual students to pursue great things. The longevity of CTSOs that educate students on more than just technical training is apparent with the success SkillsUSA has had for the last 50 years.
Mike Rowe said it best "SkillsUSA is the connective tissue between the opportunities that exist and the hopes that a lot of parents and kids have for their own future. They're actually moving the needle in a way that nobody else is."
CareerSafe encourages educators to congratulate SkillsUSA advisors on their students' success and learn more about this exceptional organization at www.skillsusa.org.

|Momomiya Ichigo: OtherWorld
Hatsune Miku: OtherWorld is a movie created by InukaneStudios (IS for short) about the popular virtual singer Hatsune Miku, whose universe ends and reincarnates her as a blind mind-speaker. She teams up with two versions of the boy from Double Date, Kouhai (one American, one Japanese), Momomiya Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew, and Kagamine Len on a quest to stay alive and not get eaten by their predators.
The story begins in the Japanese arcade game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade, where Hatsune Miku (herself) lives with her Vocaloid friends. The arcade they live in closes shortly after the movie begins, and so the Vocaloids leave to the classic console Tapper's Tavern and drink some beer. Eventually, Kagamine Rin (herself) gets mad at Miku for taking the spotlight in everything, and screams that she hates her. At that moment, the universe is mysteriously destroyed.
Miku awakens in a new universe, to find herself in a ninja suit in the middle of a tropical rain forest, unable to see. After taking in her weird surroundings, Miku hears growling from pumas, and thus runs blindly through the forest to avoid getting eaten. It doesn't take long before Miku collides with a tree. Fortunately, the pumas suddenly pick up a meaty-smelling scent from Aoyama Masaya (Megumi Ogata), originally from the game Hamepane Tokyo Myu Myu, and eat him instead. The sun eventually sets, and Miku falls asleep, crying over her new fate.
At midnight, while Miku is sleeping, Momomiya Ichigo (Nakajima Saki) finds Masaya dead and starts crying. Her sniffles drive Miku out of her slumber, and Miku is suddenly able to send telepathic messages to Ichigo. However, before she is able to send a complete sentence to her mind, the power disappears just as suddenly. The message brings Ichigo over to Miku, and Ichigo explains that their old universe was destroyed and a new one was created in its place. It turns out Ichigo has been reincarnated as an alien entirely composed of data, and knows a good place to keep Miku sheltered.
In a little hut just outside of the rain forest, Miku hears Ichigo crying again, and this time she explains that she can't live with being an herbivore with so many predators, and "no more Aoyama-kun". With that, she runs back into the rain forest and lets a giant rattlesnake eat her alive.
Left hopeless, Miku lays back into bed and sleeps for a while. Eventually, the hut is attacked by orangutans who want to eat the hut's only two inhabitants. It is soon revealed that the second inhabitant is Kagamine Len (himself), who is now a deaf merman. Miku carries Len out of the hut, and with guidance from him, she makes it to safety.
The two end up by an estuary, just as Len begins to run out of moisture. He ends up falling into the estuary, and thus regains it. There, Len reveals that he is currently searching for Rin. He

Three people have been injured in the German city of Heidelberg after a man drove a car into a pedestrian area.
The attacker, who was believed to have been armed with a knife, was shot and injured by police in a brief standoff after fleeing the scene on foot.
His motives are unclear, but terrorism is not suspected and he is thought to have acted alone, police say.
In December an Islamist attacker drove a lorry into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 people and injuring 49.
In Heidelberg the attacker drove what is thought to be a rental car into pedestrians in one of the city's central squares, injuring three people, one of whom is said to be in a serious condition.
He then left the car but was tracked down and shot by police near an old swimming pool.
Police were unable to confirm local media reports that the attacker was mentally disturbed.
