What are we fighting for?
We need change now
We have all tried as individuals to get things changed and we have piles of kind, considerate replies to prove it. The letters invariably acknowledge how much we do but explain that because of lack of funding nothing can be done to change things.
We have found that for people tied to the home as Carers the world wide web is a great opportunity and we intend to use it. We found one another on the web and discovered that complaints from carers are being dismissed one by one, year in and year out in different areas all over the country so we decided to join together on the web to make ourselves heard.
We have researched the long sad history of the failure to modernise the care system and found that all governments have previous history on this. Many official reports have been published over the past twenty years but the government has consistently refused to consider the findings or implement the recommendations.
Freedom to Campaign
Carer Watch is an independent campaigning organisation run by carers for carers. Whilst we appreciate that the carers' charities do valuable work on behalf of carers, their perspective is inevitably different to that of carers and their charitable status denies them the freedom to campaign for the very real changes in social care and welfare benefit provision that are needed to ensure that caring for the elderly, sick and disabled in their own homes remains a cost-effective, feasible and sustainable option. We hope to work with the charities and other carer groups on an ongoing constructive basis.

Excess of everything is harmfull..so is with eating fish or any other edibles. Second importannt thing is what, when, how, and how much to eat..as these are very important factors in our food habit which influence our health!
According to Charles Santerre, a foods and nutrition associate professor, Fish - which are full of protein and omega-3 fatty acids - promotes good health," but at the same time, we know that some fish, including commercial fish, can be harmful. The consumer - especially a woman in her childbearing years -needs to be discerning. "A woman should carefully choose the fish she eats today to protect her baby tomorrow."
Fish, such as swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish, can contain high levels of methylmercury that, if eaten regularly, can harm the developing nervous system of a fetus or infant. Santerre said these fish should be avoided by pregnant women, nursing mothers and young children.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), sometimes found in fish, also pose a threat.
"It takes six years to rid the body of PCBs and one year for mercury,"
Other fish, such as salmon, which is high in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), should be a regular component of a woman's diet.
"Salmon is an ideal source for long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for brain development in babies and cardiovascular health in adults. At the same time, some other kinds of fish that contain a large amount of healthy fats also can have high levels of brain toxins," he said.
The safest seafoods are farmed and wild salmon, along with oysters, shrimp, farm-raised channel catfish, farm-raised rainbow trout, flounder, perch, tialpia, clams, scallops and red swamp crayfish, for having the lowest level of mercury and can be eaten more than once a week. Canned tuna, crab, cod, mahi-mahi, haddock, whitefish, herring and spiny lobster have slightly higher levels of mercury and should be eaten no more than one meal per week.
Some seafood should be limited to just one meal a month: tuna steaks, red snapper, orange roughy, pollack, halibut, northern lobster, marlin, moonfish, saltwater bass, wild trout, bluefish, grouper, croaker and sablefish. So, if a pregnant woman has a meal of red snapper, she should not eat grouper for at least another month.
In all, being the most blessed creatures of God, in order to keep our body & Mind healthy we must manage our diet wisely.

thankyou itakins for selecting my answer as the best!
Sad to say, but yes. Even fresh water fishes are not entirely safe in some places. I live on the west coast of the US, and because of the trade winds bringing mercury from the coal burning plants in China, we are advised to limit our consumption of local freshwater fish to a few ounces a week.
Darn shame!
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Yes because high consumption can cause an accumulation of a mercuric compound called "methylmercury" in human body. Fishes like tuna, swordfish, sharks, dolphins etc. contain a high level of mercury while trouts, herrings, crabs, lobsters and some freshwater fishes come up with less mercuric amount. Limiting the consumption to only 1 or 2 meals per week is safe for everyone.

I'd suggest avoiding the top of the chain fish e.g. tuna as they eat all the little fishies and according to many reports, mercury accumulates up the food chain!

As a company that works with video from many places we often hire freelance videographers to cover shooting requests from our clients. When a videographer is new to us we try to make sure that they are clear as possible regarding what we expect in order to give our clients what they deserve. This is highlighted by the instructions you see below and the video attached to them. While this is a Soccer match the principals apply to all of our sports.
TECH NOTES: At the beginning of each game please give us an audio billboard letting us know who you are shooting, when it was shot, their uniform number and colour. In all instances we prefer the footage be shot at 720P and AVCHD 25 mbps or less and with a frame rate of 59.94 fps. Also, when our client is not on the field it is not necessary for you to keep filming. It just means more footage to go through.

A massive, grassy NZ-hopped aroma is supported by a full, red / amber malt base and a pleasant NZ-hopped bitterness to round off.
A big, smooth and characterful ale.
"Slightly hazy rich amber colour with a persistent white collar of head. Poured way too cold off gas-flow (when will people disregard traditional public ideals for serving temperature?). From what I was able to garner about the aroma there was orange blossom, caramel and golden syrup. In fact the aromas tend along two directions: floral and malty. This isn't bad, in fact it is quite charming. The flavour is fresh, keen and of tart juicy fruits and flowers. A real summery ale to taste with a concomitant light body. There is a good twinge of astringent bitterness which seems to carry to a puckering finish."

LOS ANGELES, April 9 (UPI) -- Director Dean DeBlois gives fans an inside look at How to Train Your Dragon 2 in a new featurette for the film.
DeBlois himself hosts the video, and says the sequel will take place five years after the original movie. How to Train Your Dragon debuted in 2010, and its story about the viking Hiccup and his dragon, Toothless, was an instant success.
"Hiccup and the gang are now 19 and 20-year-olds," the director says. "It's all about unbridled freedom. We have all kinds of new dragons to show the audience ... some really surprising ones as well."
"This film is a journey of discoveries," he continues. "Realizing that what you perceive as your weaknesses can actually be strengths. I think that touches everybody in all walks of life."
How to Train Your Dragon 2 will follow Hiccup, Toothless and their friends as they explore and discover new dragons and cultures. The new movie debuts in theaters on June 13.

Q: Do I need DesktopServer in order to use WPSiteSync?
We were at a conference not too long ago. Besides seeing old friends, we met new WPSiteSync enthusiasts!
The question that kept popping up was whether DesktopServer is required in order for WPSiteSync to function. We are excited to say: No!
WPSiteSync was designed from the beginning to work with any two WordPress sites. And we do mean any!
While your Source site (the site you're moving your Content from) can be a local site running on DesktopServer, it can also be built using WAMP, LAMP, IIS, Vagrant or any number of other technologies.
Your Target site (the site you're moving your Content to) can also use any technology. We've used another DesktopServer site as a Target site, as well as a staging environment on a test server, a subdomain on a live server, and a production environment running your live site. The two sites don't even need to be running the same version of WordPress for WPSiteSync to be able to synchronize content between them. Cool or what?
So as long as you have two WordPress sites and you want to be able to synchronize Content between them, WPSiteSync can help with that. Even if DesktopServer is not part of your Workflow.
If you've used WPSiteSync in new and interesting ways, we'd love to hear your story. Tell us about your development or staging environments and how you're using WPSiteSync and we'll share that with our audience.
In celebration of the Holiday Season, we will be honoring the Trailblazer Membership Discount at 40% OFF! For your convenience, we have also listing the Black Friday Special for DesktopServer below! Enjoy. Have a super weekend.

How about syncing with Formidable Form Pro?
How about you guys chuck some links in the FAQ and the Knowledgebase area on the Serverpress site back to here at Site Synch… because I am often there, and there are no obvious links back to here… SO I have to remember to do it manually as it were !!!

"Your sons, sabay kami. Ngayon o bukas, magpadrug-test. Gawin natin. What will you do kapag yun ang nangyare. Kapag nagpositive siya, what will you do?" An enraged Baron Geisler said this.
Baron has been vocal that he is opposing the administration of Duterte. First, he criticized the war of Duterte against drugs. He advised the President not to be pretenstious.

Kodaikanal - what does it actually mean? 'A Place to see in Summers', 'The End of the Forest', 'The Forest of the Creepers', or a place associated with the mythology of Goddess Valli (Wife of Lord Murugan) found here- it could be any of the above, all of the above or none of the above but one way or the other all these relate to this beautiful hill station in Tamil Nadu. One can predict this by going to the lexical history or etymological deductions made on the basis 'Kodaikanal' as a word is written, called and understood.
For those who have never been to Kodaikanal hill station in the south of Pallani Hills, it is like the greens of the mountainous landscape are soaring to sky meeting the grey-white clouds. Sun seems to be playing peek-a-boo with those clouds and the shadows formed as a consequence complying with the rules of the game of Nature thus created. The rock brothers seem to be standing together and supporting the trees with their strength on the altitude ranging up to 2,133 m. The pine forests where rows and columns of trees make confusing way in and out create a natural maze of sorts. And somewhere there, small and big lakes will draw mental attention followed by physical presence of the onlooker.
This is but a small glimpse in a town with its own sanctity and serenity to exhibit. The history of the place has more to say that could be summarized in a single space. Residence of tribal population later shaped by arrival of American missionaries followed by the British and the story of development goes on.

Unanswered: NT vs UNIX
I was wondering is someone might offer some insight into the following reality: an NT Box is several times faster the an equivalent SUN box at our shop.
UNIX DEV BOX: 4 CPUs (1 ghz) , 5 gigs memory, and lots of disk space.
NT 2000 dev box: 4 CPUs(1 ghz), 4 gigs of memory and lots of disk space.
The same database and data exist on both boxes. Sybase 12.5 runs on both.
On average, the NT box outperforms the SUN box(for bulk inserts, large updates, and big deletes) by a factor of 4 times.
The sp_config yields that the two instances are very similar.
Since this is an experiment for us, the NT box is running the "trial version" of sybase which limits itself to using ONE of the available 4 CPUs - yet it still runs circles around the SUN machine.
Any ideas why we would see such a dramatic difference between the two boxes? Where would be a good place to look for the bottleneck?

Which type of devices are you using on your Sun server ?
Are you using a 64 bits version (else, the RAm is limited to 1.7 Gb) ?
Are you using the same caches ?
Compare the both sp_sysmon.

Help for PMS
Tuesday, September 24, 2013
I've been researching ways to lessen cramps during PMS (aka "dysmenorrhea") because I've always had extremely painful periods. A macrobiotic friend told me that eliminating milk can help. Has anyone else tried this? Did it work for you?
I did try eliminating dairy for a while, and I didn't have bad cramps that time around, but eventually I slid back into being a dairy-consumer because I've always loved dairy: milk, cheese, you name it. I've even been accused of being a "dairy-aholic" and I agree. That was definitely me.
But now I'm desperate for answers because I am not functional for about two days a month, and sometimes the pain even wakes me up in the middle of the night.
I've tried lots of things to ease the pain (heating pad, taking aleve the day before it starts, then taking aleve continuously throughout, epsom salt baths in very hot water, heating patches, massages, magnesium oil massage) but now I'm starting to think about ways to prevent the extreme pain altogether.
Suggestions I've read about on Sparkpeople and WebMD-type sites: eliminate sodium and sugar from your diet, eat more whole grains/whole fruits and veggies, take more B6/calcium/magnesium, take a multi-vitamin.
Sometimes people mention using herbs like St. John's Wort for PMS, but I don't take that because it has risks for people like me with bipolar disorder.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I am desperate for some relief!

I went through horrid cramps (with vomiting) - finally found that I had endometriosis (after years of asking drs to please test me).
So, if you find zero relief, ask your dr to check out possible endometriosis. It can be fixed if caught soon!

I really feel with you
I also looked after some help as pms for me meant
I got into trouble with other people
and my lunatic periods ALWAYS started the week before a period (not every time but together with hard times in life or stressed times in life)
I have heard tofu is good against pms
I hope there is some new information and some scientist have found this important enough.
Many years ago an English woman got free of trial after she had murdered her husband because she had pms. One should think this was a good reason to make research about it.

Hello. Please review the attached files and let me know what you think. The files could not be shown on the car image because of quality/size of the image – with these files being much larger. The .ai files can be opened at any resolution – so you can scale as you like, zooming in as close as you like.
You'll notice that there are two .gif layouts – one with white outline on the blue letters, one without. Any thicker of an outline on these small letters and it becomes very balloony. You may want to forego this outline?
If you have any questions let me know.
Lettering Details: I would like window graphics to apply to my 1999 Dodge Durango. I am looking for 3 graphics in all; one for the rear window and one each for the back/side windows (these will be identical). I have not taken hard measurements yet, but the rear glass is about 20″ x 48″ and the sides are about 18″ x 36″. I would want the graphic to say: VideoSculptors Artistic Professional in Digital Video and Photography
Legal – Corporate – Personal www.VideoSculptors.com (317) 627-7734
The top line would be in the "Storybook" font, 3 to 4″ tall, red with white outline
The next three text lines would be 1.5″ or so (with a 1/2 line separating lines 2 and 3), "Arial Black" font, white with black outline
The last two lines would be 1.5″, "Arial" font, white with black outline
All text would be center justified.

Characters and successful plans
Published by Domoviye in the blog Domoviye's blog. Views: 214
Something I have noticed in many books is that characters don't really plan anything. The author will say that they spent time planning, but when you read what the characters are doing you realize they spent five minutes talking and wrote the mission down on the back of a bar napkin.
In fantasy novels this is seen most frequently when attacking a castle. The main characters will have two of their numbers dressing up as washer women trying to sneak in, while the thief will slink over the wall and "do something", and the big fighter will either hide in the washing, or pretend to be a fellow guard and kill anyone who gets in his way. For the most important part of the plan, if anyone is seen "ATTACK!"
This can be funny. It can even be a little thrilling, but for a reader who expects more then basic level strategy its extremely disappointing.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" dealt with this nicely. So that I don't give anything away I'll be a little vague.
When Harry needed to get an item from a heavily guarded building, he and his friends planned for weeks to get in. When they got in they realize something. They screwed up. All of their plans involved entering the building. They didn't have a plan for if they were separated, if they were caught, or if their actions were discovered and security measures were activated. It took a bit of luck for them to get away, and Rowling did an excellent job of showing this without having to rely on deux ex machina.
Now you are probably thinking, but showing the characters planning everything is boring. You're right it can be boring, it can also be interesting but that takes effort. So here's the easy solution, don't show all the planning. Have them discussing some of the highlights, make it the equivalent of a traveling montage in a movie. The reader will realize whats going on, and it doesn't have to take up more than a few paragraphs.
Now why are plans important?
The main reason is most people hate deux ex machina. This means when everyone knows the hero should die, but something improbable happens saving his life, and possibly saving the entire day.
The calvary just happens to be patrolling in that exact area at that exact time.
The hero suddenly develops a fantastic new power, saving everyone.
In at least one book, the God or his/her angels come down and whisk the heroes to safety.
I could keep going for several pages but you get the picture.
These are all tired and worn tropes. They can be done well, but it all too often comes out as poor writing.
So how do you solve this?
You plan the characters plan carefully.
This isn't the same as planning the plot of the book. You can still be spontaneous and write on the edge of your seat. But you have to ensure the characters have a valid plan.
If they want to kill a big evil character who goes to the same bar every night, and decide they will wait in the ally beside the bar until he comes out and stab him in the back, this is not a good plan. This is the equivalent of saying "There he is! Jump him!"
This can work. But you leave the reader wondering what about witnesses, what if he comes out with a friend, what if a gang sees the characters in the dark ally and decide to rob them. So many things are left to chance its ridiculous.
So what are some guidelines for planning your characters successful plans.
1) What information do the characters have. The more info they have, the better they can plan. When do the guards walk past a certain door in their rounds? How many people are likely to be inside? Who exactly is inside? All of these are critical to a successful plan. Just getting the information can be an adventure in itself.
2)What experiences do the characters have? A mild mannered accountant who has never even jaywalked is going to look at things differently then the hardened thug. But don't discount a character because they're inexperienced. The thug will have more experience, and know what to watch out for. But the accountant may take more time and effort planning everything out to the letter, so that he can get away without a confrontation.
3) What can possibly go wrong? This is wide open. Figure out what can go wrong with the plan. As the author you should know if Prince of the Realm is having a late night torture party which means the hero's can't climb through the sewers and come up through the dungeon to kidnap the princess in her bedroom.
4)How will the characters escape if something goes wrong? This is very rarely considered. Usually the author leaves it as a wild escape with the heroes fleeing the castle guards and having a few cool stunts. Or the evil person who catches them turns out to be an ally or not so evil after all, or has their own scheme that involves the characters. Again it can work, but it's been done to death.
5) Do the characters have the proper skills. Picking a lock is hard if you don't have experience. So when faced with the locked door that contains the McGuffin, does one of the characters suddenly remember they're past life as a skilled thief? Make sure before everything starts, that all the necessary skills and equipment are available. Write down a list of what their skills and equipment are. It will help.
6) Remember the consequences. If a plan is poorly thought out there will be consequences. If it is properly thought out there will be consequences.
If a plan doesn't work or barely works and the characters remain free what happened? Were the characters seen, were they recognized, did they have to kill a lot of people on the way out? All sorts of interesting things can come about from this. They might see their faces on wanted posters if they were only seen. If they are Rebels who were recognized in a bungled plan, they might become a laughing stock. If they killed people they suddenly have new enemies. Use these.
If it was successful, they might gain new allies who think the characters are competent enough to help. The enemy might put more of their resources into killing this now dangerous enemy. If it's discovered who stole the MacGuffin all types of new enemies might appear who want it, and know who has it. Again use these.
For further help with plans, watch some thrillers and spy movies. I'd recommend "Ronin" right off the bat. It has the planning stage, double crosses, more planning, really bad consequences, and the like. Also "Munich" is a good example of real life missions. Its not as detailed about the plans, but still a good movie. And check out some table top role playing game forums. Every role player has stories of horribly bad plans, well thought out plans that failed because they forgot a flashlight, and beautiful plans that had everyone grinning like idiots as they marched to glory.
Good luck

The Yggdrasil Codex
Thanks for stopping by! I've been writing for many years, but mostly non-fiction. I've even won two literary awards! I have to toot my own horn…I'm my own publicist ; My interests in fiction are varied. I started off as a young fellow reading Fantasy, such as Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit. I later went on to read science fiction and general genre fiction. I have to be honest, I've never been a fan of literary fiction. I've heard Genre Fiction described as "Ordinary people doing extraordinary things" and Literary fiction described as "Extraordinary people doing ordinary things". I like a good plot and action. I don't have anything against good characterization, but I don't want that to be the core of books I read or write. Over the next few months I'll be working on short stories as well as grinding away at a full length novel. I'm done with all my non-fiction commitments for the year ( just finished Northern Plant Lore), so for at least the next 6 months I'll be focused on my fiction full time. I have a really cool short story on Amazon right now for Kindle, it's called the Yggdrasil Codex, and is only .99¢ In this life there are a great many profound questions that have yet to be answered: Are we the first intelligent life in the universe? Why are we here? Man continues to ask these questions, apparently to deaf heavens. But what if someone, or something,did answer? In the short story The Yggdrasil Codex, two University researchers stumble upon an incredible secret encoded on ancient Scandinavian runestones. Their discovery leads them into the world of modern code-breakers and ultimately leads to a revelation with galactic consequences! * Author update: This short story became an Amazon Best Seller!

A shootout in a Boston neighborhood on Tuesday shook up one family as bullets shattered the window of their Roslindale home.
Two undercover Boston Police officers became involved in an exchange of gunfire with two men after police had arranged to meet the suspects on Newburg Street to allegedly buy guns.
In court on Wednesday, prosecutors said Eric Rosado-Gonzalez pulled a gun on an officer and threatened to kill him in a robbery attempt.
His accomplice, Luis Colon, then opened fire at another undercover officer and police returned fire. No one was struck.
When the gunfire erupted, the bedroom window of Geno Johnston's teenage daughter was shattered. His 12-year-old son was sent running for cover.
"He just hit the floor and got himself to the basement," Johnston recalled. "He didn't know what going on."
Johnston's daughter wasn't home and he was working up the street when the shootout took place.
Police said Rosado-Gonzalez ran off following the shootout which started local and state police on a massive manhunt in the neighborhood. About five hours later, he was found nearby.
It was a scary situation for the entire neighborhood, where police had gone door-to-door searching for Rosado-Gonzalez.
Now a day later, neighbors like Johnston now have to deal with the clean up. Johnston says he counted at least 8 bullet holes to his home. Other homes on the street were also struck.
Despite the chaos, Johnston says he's grateful no one was hurt during the incident.
"It was surreal moment," he said. "I've never had a kid in this situation before."

President Enrique Peña Nieto presented the National Financial Inclusion Policy, accompanied by the HRH Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, at the National Palace.
"When I took office, I undertook to promote the transformation of Mexico, to lead our country to a new stage of growth and development.
We assumed the commitment to put citizens and their families at the center of our efforts in order to improve their quality of life and build a better future."
With this vision, the government has worked on the basis of five national goals, namely: Achieving an Inclusive Mexico.
An Inclusive Mexico is a country where rights are not only an ideal but a permanent reality in the everyday lives of all its inhabitants. It also means having a basic floor of welfare so that every family can move forward and progress, in both the north and the south, and in the countryside and the city.
"Today we have a new generation social policy which goes beyond welfarism to focus on increasing its beneficiaries' productive capacities".
Traditional social development, better food, access to health services and decent housing are complemented and strengthened by policies that promote quality education and economic productivity.
"This policy is designed to ensure that all Mexicans, without distinction, have access to the financial system. The point is for them to have savings accounts, buy insurance or get a loan to achieve any life plan they create. The point is also to have different ways to make and receive payments."
One of the aims is to ensure that families are less vulnerable and fragile, and at less of a risk of losing their assets or falling into poverty.
To achieve the goals and purposes, the National Financial Inclusion Policy links the efforts of the government and the private sector into six main axes.
"Today Mexico has a solid, well capitalized banking system, with a healthy loan portfolio.
I am convinced that by working together, users, banks and authorities can ensure that Mexico becomes an increasingly inclusive country".

Dr. Janet Whiteside is trying something new.
Her area of expertise is in speech pathology, but she's teamed up with a lab at UCF's Institute for Simulation & Training to create a virtual reality game for one of her young patients, Brendan Payne, who's a big fan of science fiction.
She wants to see if immersing him in this virtual world of caverns, cliffs and antelopes with pink stripes could improve the communication skills he lost five years ago, after having a stroke at age 24.
But she's also on another mission. She wants to show the next generation of speech therapists and game designers — two fields that normally wouldn't overlap — that the sky is the...

Well, that didn't go too badly.
Appeared on BBC Radio Four's The World Tonight to talk about the apocalyptic kerfuffle over the LHC. Managed to plug the mag and get my points across - couple of sound bites I'd prepared went unused and since the other guest (see below) mentioned the atomic bomb I *should* have said about how Oppenheimer's team wasn't 100% that Gadget (see issue two) wouldn't set off a chain reaction in the upper atmosphere that would engulf the planet in flame.
The other guest was Paul Boyer, a history professor from the University of Wisconsin-Madison whose area of expertise includes prophetic and apocalyptic beliefs in America. His book, When Time Shall Be No More, has now been added to my reading list and I'm probably going to be dropping him a line to say hi.
You should be able to hear it again here once the BBC has uploaded it. I think we were about half an hour into the programme.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Acekard' started by nier305, Jan 29, 2010.
Does anyone know if it's possible to change the clock on the AK2i to 12-Hour ? I have AKAIO 1.5.1
Not sure. Check the globalsettings.ini?
yes you can - in the globalsetting.ini there should be a line like
Show12hrClock = 0
change it to
Show12hrClock = 1
it's all mentioned in the AKAIO WIKI
edit:CannonFoddr beat me to it.
sorry for my ignorance but this is all pretty new to me so you're gonna have to explain in more detail. What's globalsetting.ini and how do I get there?
Thanks guys I got it. I just looked at the WIKI page.
Look in the '__aio' folder on you MicroSD card (the one you put into the acekard) - you should see a file called 'globalsettings.ini' (if not you need to boot up the Acekard & change a setting first for AKAIO to create it IIRC)
> Open the globalsettings.ini file using windows Notepad & edit the line mentioned. Save the file
> Put your MicroSd card back into your acekard & start up your DS
The clock should now be showing 12hr instead of 24hr
EDITED: Dammit - there's me writing it out, & he beat me to it by lookng @ the WIKI.....
......& that's something I had already mentioned
Do I feel a wally
lol ..Thanks cannonfoddr. It was your reply that reminded me about the WIKI page. I'm the one who feels wally.
Yes its possible. Like they said above. Check your globalsettings.ini file and change Show12hour=0 to 1.
I have a 12 hour clock as well and its pretty good.

How do you pronounce scone?
How do you pronounce scone? Scone as in 'bone' or scone as in 'gone'? It's a question that divides opinion and caused many a heated debate across the dinner (or is that tea?) table. Now a new study claims to have found the definitive answer! Question is, have you been saying it wrong or right all along according to this new study?
The YouGov study, reported by the Metro has found that the scone like gone pronunciation is the most popular (but only just) with 51% of the population, while the bone pronunciation is favoured by four in 10 people. So it's a very close run thing.
Apparently, how you say scone all depends on where you live and your background. According to the study, you're more likely to favour the gone pronunciation if you're from the north (60%) or Scotland (80%), and Midlanders (56%) are more likely to go for 'bone'. Londoners are split down the middle! The study also found people from a middle class background are more likely to use 'gone', whereas those from a working class background are more evenly split.
How do you pronounce scone? Do you fall into the 'scone as in bone' or 'scone as in gone' pronunciation category? We'd love to know what you think. Tell us over on our Facebook and Twitter.

Reichert Appointed to President's Export Council
Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-08), a member of the House Ways & Means Committee and a member of the Trade Working Group, today announced he has accepted an appointment to the President's Export Council (PEC), the nation's principle advisory committee on international trade, where he will continue his vocal advocacy for a robust trade agenda and passage of pending free trade agreements.
"I'm honored to accept this appointment to the President's Export Council – particularly given the current state of our economy and the critical role free trade can play in getting us back on firm footing," Reichert said. "Free trade can create jobs, and a robust trade agenda is absolutely vital to the well-being and future growth of our economy. I look forward to serving in this role, and continuing my work to open new trade markets, support negotiations of new trade agreements, and fight for implementing the deals we've already reached with Korea, Colombia, and Panama."
Republican Leader John Boehner recognized Reichert's advocacy in submitting his name for this role: "Congressman Reichert has been a tireless and vocal advocate for opening new markets and approving pending free trade agreements – especially with Korea – that are critical to creating American jobs. Coming from a state where one in every three jobs is connected to trade, Congressman Reichert's understanding of this issue will undoubtedly be of remarkable value. The President's Export Council will be well-served by having Congressman Reichert's credible presence at the table, speaking to the need for America to continue to engage new markets and to define and lead in the global economy."
Reichert is one of only two Republicans selected – and one of only five House members total – to serve on the Council. The PEC is the principal national advisory committee on international trade. It advises the president on government policies and programs that affect U.S. trade performance; promotes export expansion; and provides a forum for discussing and resolving trade-related challenges among the business, industrial, agricultural, labor, and government sectors. President Nixon established the council in 1973. More information can be found on the council's Web site.
Reichert, a long-time, vocal advocate of free trade, has led the fight in Congress in his role on the House Ways & Means Committee, the Trade subcommittee, and as a member of the Trade Working Group to urge the passage of pending free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. Reichert and Adam Smith (WA-09) have garnered the bipartisan support of 88 Members of Congress in urging the Obama Administration to bring the U.S.-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA) before Congress for consideration. 44 Democrats and 44 Republicans from all regions of the country signaled their support for preparing the trade deal for a vote, which has not been approved by Congress since its signing on June 30, 2007.
Reichert was recently honored with the 2010 Trade and Investment Leadership Award by the Emergency Committee for American Trade (ECAT) for leading the fight to open new markets to trade, ensuring America's continued prosperity. In 2008, Reichert traveled to Colombia with a bipartisan congressional delegation to meet with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and other stakeholders to discuss the Colombian agreement. Upon his return to the U.S., Reichert circulated an emergency letter urging his colleagues join as one voice and urge Democratic leadership to reconsider plans to stop a vote on the Colombia Free Trade Agreement. Further information on Reichert's trade advocacy is available here.

The view from a hill at Moen's Cliff
I haven't been to Møn's Klint (Moen's Cliff), since I was a child in daycare. I remember being about 10 years old and going on a tour with a bunch of school mates. Me and two of the guys pretended to be professors looking for rare stones. I also remember them drinking all of my strawberry juice- it didn't matter to me, as I never really liked it very much. Almost 20 years later I was there again; this time pretending to me a little more serious. There were quite a lot of people there; most of them foreigners I think. From the parking space, we had to climb a whole lot of stairs. My biggest problem at first was to overcome my fear of heights; it's particularly, when I can look directly down at whatever's underneath me, and I feel like the earth is going to move.
So I tried to look straight ahead, and finally I was at the top. We walked on small roads, on leafs and up and down small hills along the cliff. Once I was up there, the fear wasn't so bad. I even went to the edge a number of times to take pictures (evidence is included, haha). We went about 1½ kilometres, before returning. The sight was just so beautiful. We don't have any mountains in Denmark, well except for a hill ironically called the sky mountain (approx. 150 metres), so anything above flat ground is breathtaking to me. We never went down the stairs to the beach. Many years ago a French woman was killed, while walking on the beach, when she was hit by a loose stone. They even have a sign that warns people about walking on the beach or to close to the edge, because there's a risk of loose stones or slippery ground. There's also a museum connected with the place. It costs 100 dkk (about 13 Euros) per Adult- I never really cared much about rock science, but it's probably worth it, if you do.

Details on Joss Whedon & Morgan Spurlock's Comic-Con Doc
by Ethan Anderton
May 21, 2010
Back in February we learned that fanboy favorite filmmaker Joss Whedon and documentarian Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?) were teaming up for a documentary following a group of fans making their way to the annual geek-fest that is Comic-Con. Now Variety has the official word on what has been titled Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope which will see Whedon and Spurlock collaborating with comics legend Stan Lee and Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News. The doc will follow seven fans from across America, and the world, as they descend upon Comic-Con this year.
Spurlock will direct with filming starting in June and concluding at Comic-Con itself, which takes place late July in San Diego. So there's only two months left before a a plethora of nerds, dorks, and geeks head to the convention, which isn't just about comics anymore, but focuses on everything pop culture. Legendary Pictures' Thomas Tull is producing and says, "We look forward to capturing the spirit, energy and people that Comic-Con has infused into legions of fans, bringing these audiences and projects out of the halls and onto a world stage." Spurlock's enthusiasm sounds a little less like a canned, promo quote and makes the project sound more personal:
"When I was a kid, comics changed my life and my world," Spurlock said. "So when I got to San Diego, I felt like I was home. It was such an overwhelming experience for me, and I soon found out that I was not alone. So for me to get to share the experience of Comic-Con with fans all over the world will be an incredible opportunity."
So if you're heading down to the San Diego Comic-Con this year like the rest of us here at FirstShowing.net, then this might be your chance to be caught on film in a major motion picture (albeit just a documentary). Make sure you pack your best superhero shirt, don't forget those Vulcan ears, and show enough skin to get endless double takes from horny nerds, although if that Batman suit is feeling a bit snug around the gut, it might be time to hit the treadmill. But if you won't be able to join in all the craziness at Comic-Con this year, just stay tuned as we'll be giving you all the coverage you can handle soon enough. As for the doc, it sounds like it will be quite awesome as well. Any readers out there amongst the documentary's subjects?

Sydney comeback denies Victory
Sydney FC substitute Sebastian Ryall snatched a last-gasp equaliser to reignite his club's season and further frustrate Melbourne Victory with a 2-2 draw at AAMI Park.
Not for the first time this season, Victory coughed up a 2-0 lead, deservedly as they inexplicably sat back and let the much more enterprising Sydney to dominate the second half.
Goals to Bruno Cazarine in the 56th minute and Ryall's equaliser from a goalmouth scramble in the 90th minute kept Sydney FC in the top six and left the Victory sitting four points outside.
The Victory conjured two goals out of nowhere in two minutes before half-time to stun the Sky Blues and looked set for a much-needed win.
"We haven't won a second half all season, and that's a pretty damning statistic," Victory coach Jim Magilton said.
"The hour mark, and we seem to lose our legs. We need to win ugly, win a game, then confidence, then momentum."
After Sydney had looked the better side, Victory midfielder Isaka Cernak gave himself enough space for a low, long-range speculator, which went in to give his side an unlikely lead.
Then in first-half stoppage time, Sydney FC's defence went to sleep and it paid the price.
Full-back Fabio rounded Michael Beauchamp on the left, shot from a tight angle to find goalkeeper Liam Reddy moving the wrong way to give his side a 2-0 lead at the break.
It should have been all over for the Victory when Archie Thompson was left one-on-one with Reddy, but the goalkeeper made amends with a good stop to keep his side in the match.
Instead a mistake by Victory goalkeeper Ante Covic let Sydney back in the match on 56 minutes, spilling an innocuous cross as Sydney striker Cazarine swooped to score.
Fabio then forced Reddy into another good save in the 66th minute, launching a free-kick on target for the goalkeeper to bat away.
But the Sky Blues, with Nicky Carle outstanding in midfield, kept attacking the Victory and their resolve was repaid when ex-Victory defender Ryall bobbed up late to level the scores and devastate most of the 20,000-strong crowd.
Sydney FC coach Vitezslav Lavicka praised his players' character amid another match of high drama.
"Every point is important and a draw means we keep the same gap between us and seventh place," Lavicka said.
"Every game for us is like a grand final."
The only downside for Sydney was Brett Emerton coming off with a hamstring injury on the hour mark. Scans over the next 48 hours will ascertain how serious the ailment is.
Melbourne Victory: 2 (I Cernak 45', Fabio 45')
Sydney FC: 2 (B Cazarine 56', S Ryall 90')

EuroHash 2017 - The Runs
VH3 has been very active the last months preparing a nice selection of 10 high quality runs. Local and travelling hares will make each of them a wonderful experience. Here is what we have prepared:
|1. Ballbreaker Run
|Southern Vienna Woods
|Run Type
|Extra Long
|74 excl. Hares.
|Committee Note
|This is the only run that needs a pre-registration. Please update your profile.
On July 1st we had 70 registrations. 4 more places to give. Please update your profile.
The Ballbreakers trail will be a long, long one with some challenging terrain (what else would you expect?!?) located in a spectacular wooded area some 50 km south of Vienna.
Most of the trail will be laid in the forest, whose canopy will protect you from the relentless blazing sun or otherwise provide some welcome cover in the unlikely situation that it is pouring down with rain.
The hares will try their best to give you a chance to run long stretches on soft ground, occasionally climbing the odd slope. If it has been raining before the run, shiggy will be guaranteed through muddy puddles.
One drink stop is planned about halfway along the trail, giving you - on a clear day, - a spectacular view of the highest mountain in the area (Schneeberg) and Austria's countryside. We might be crossing a natural spring with drinking water, hidden in the forest, for some additional refreshment in the second half of the run.
This A to B run exceeds 25 km, depending on how many false trails you will follow.
Warning: the ballbreaker run is suitable only for fit hashers (a contradiction in terms?) in good health.
|2. Bras and Pants Trail
|Western Vienna Woods
|Run Type
|Short (Slightly Hilly at Start)
|71 excl. Hares.
The main features of Bras and Pants is that hashers wear Bras and Pants, on top of other clothing, and that the trail includes a Brewery tour with beers at the Brewery, for which there is an extra charge.
The hash is in the Vienna Woods, through a forested area ascending to a viewing tower, and then into the town of Gablitz, where there is the local brewery.
Gablitz is a town of 4500 inhabitants, mainly farmers and forest workers, and the origins of the area go back to Roman times.
The Brewery, owned by Markus Führer, started in 2012, and although small has a good variety of beers. There will be several beers on draught directly at the brewery. As mentioned, to cover the cost of the Brewery tour and the beers from the Brewery there will be a small additional charge.
The start point will be at Gasthof Rieger, which is at an elevation of 472 metres. The trail will climb to 542 metres, where there is a viewing tower. Please note that only 10 people may go up the tower at once and you will need a good head for heights. This whole area is heavily wooded, so it is recommended that hashers should stick together and not go off individually.
Then the trail heads downwards, and on the outskirts there will be a stop, then we go slightly uphill again back into the forest and then proceed with views of the town. We will reach the town, at 284 metres after a trail of just over 7 km. (of course, those checking false trails will go further)
At this point half of the group will have the lunch stop (in a green area in the town with benches), while the other half have the brewery tour including some Gablitzer Beers. Then the groups will change over.
After this the bus will go to the circle location out of town, so we are away from the Public.
THE SEMMERING RUNS - Three runs
For those of you who would like to see some of the best lower alpine scenery that Austria has to offer, come on one of these runs. Any of you who attended the two Payerbach weekends that Vindobona had in 2005 and 2011 will understand what we mean.
|Semmering Alpine Area
|Somewhere in the Semmering Area
|Run Type
|Long (Very Hilly)
|95 excl. Hares.
This run is the second longest length run of the three Semmering trails but has a fairly long climb at the beginning – therefore a reasonable level of fitness is required. The climb will be rewarded with the most inspiring view of all – a panorama stretching kilometres into the beginning of the European Alps. After the summit the rest of the trail is mostly downhill through a very nice variety of countryside with "picture-book" views and ends up in a very friendly rural Austrian village. The refreshment stop en-route will be next to an "out of nowhere" chalet restaurant situated in a green oasis with commanding views to east and west.
|4. SEMMERING - Bahnhof (Train Station)
|Semmering Alpine Area
|Run Type
|Long (Slightly Hilly)
|92 excl. Hares.
This is the longest of the three Semmering runs but has the least "climbing". The run is a "must" for railway enthusiasts as it takes place in amongst the world heritage Semmering Bahn railway line which ascends up into the foothills of the Austrian Alps. There are a series of impressive views from many vantage points along the way, including a ruined castle that seems to defy gravity, and you will be sure to see a number of trains passing along the line during the run. Near the end the run passes through a village on what used to be one of the most important trade routes between Venice and northern Europe in the 13th century. For those of you who didn't know, the early Austrians were masters at extortion (extracted a fortune from the British Crown by holding Richard the Lionheart hostage in the 12th century). And so, in the village concerned, there was a toll station to extract a "pound of flesh" from the early traders. Dick Turpin was an amateur compared to these guys.
|5. SEMMERING - Hotel Alpenhof
|Semmering Alpine Area
|Run Type
|Medium (Hilly)
|92 excl. Hares.
This is the shortest of the three Semmering trails. It involves a significant climb at the beginning - but not as demanding as the climb of run ref. No. 3. This run also offers a series of impressive views from many vantage points and passes by a few interesting "architectural features". The area used to be the playground of the nobility and their "moneyed acquaintances" in the days of the Austrian Monarchy. You might want to wear some head wear to protect yourself from flying golf balls at some point along the way. Also, the location of the "circle" at the end is somewhat special.
|6. Hainburg - Hundsheim
|Hainburg a.d. Donau (Border area to Slovakia and Hungary)
|Run Type
|Long (Hilly)
|95 excl. Hares.
A joint product between the Haring Brains' Trusts of the Vienna, Prague (GM) and Bratislava (GM) kennels and set in the ancient wine region of Carnuntum, the Hainburg An deR Donau (HARD) Trail is the true Trail highlight of your EuroHash weekend.
Coming in at around 13-14km, the Trail will pack-in copious up-and-down action (in addition (!) to a total of about 600m of elevation gain), BEER and possibly some alcoholic wonders brought from the lands of the visiting Hares. (Who are both fucking awesome, just putting it out there.)
When r*n in an early incarna(L)tion last year, one visiting Hasher described the setting thus: "I've been Hashing for 18 years and that is the most scenic Trail I have ever done!"
You can expect, in no particular order, at least some of the following: free beer (served colder than an ex-wife's vagina), Medieval walled-town beauty, woodland (complete with danger-tick-bastard-paralysis-lottery-tickets), Roman ruins (possibly actually built by the Vienna Hare), Shiggy, borderline trespassing (and subsequent Austrian basement internment), Hash danger!, rock scrambling, water hazards (possibly with large amounts of beaver), in addition to all the Trailporn and views you can eat.
So it's an easy choice, On On and get [to] HARD on the bus!
PS At least 50% of the Hares = awesome.
|7. Baden (A) - Pfaffstätten (Runners)
|Run Type
|94 excl. Hares.
|Short Cut to the Walkers (Run No. 8) after the Beer Stop is possible
Your bus takes you to the south of Vienna and the run starts at a small village called Pfaffstätten.
The region is well known for its lovely vines, small hills and large forests.
After a short run or walk through the vineyards and uphill - to get rid of your last night's hangovers – we will enter the forest of Anninger hill and you will hopefully check out some extraordinary trails and enjoy the spectacular view.
After the beerstop for the tired ones the OnIn will be rather near and easy to reach.
For the ones who need an extra challenge and a marvellous view from ruin Mödling we have set an additional loop before joining everybody else for lunch and circle at a huge field/meadow.
This run is about 13-16 k and 510m ascent and 345m descent depending if you want to do the extra loop.
Also you have the possibility to join the walkers right after the start and again after the beer stop.
|8. Baden (OBB) - Pfaffstätten (Walkers)
|Run Type
|Medium (flat, only slight ascents and descents)
|46 excl. Hares.
Your bus takes you to the south of Vienna and the run starts at a small village called Pfaffstätten.
The region is well known for its lovely vines, small hills and large forests.
After a short run or walk through the vineyards and a little bit uphill - to get rid of your last night's hangovers – we will enter the forest but unlike the runners (Run No. 7) we will stay on a comfortable light jogging trail where your senses will be visually married with the beautiful surroundings that make this area so special.
After the beerstop for the tired ones the OnIn will be rather near and easy to reach. Run length is about 11 or 12 kilometres.
|9. Petronell Ol'Farts - Carnuntum Toga Hash
|Carnuntum, Province of Noricum, Roman Empire
|Bad Deutsch Altenburg
|Run Type
|Short Walk (flat), about 8km with a lot of breaks and stops
|46 excl. Hares.
|A Toga is not essential, but the Harriettes will be wearing them and you are invited to use your bedware from the hotel (your risk and expense of course!)
If you are handsome, like good looking Hashers/Harriettes, old history, countryside views and of course – beer (special offer on this run: 2 beer-stops), then this is your Hash (walk) you will remember many years after EH 2017!
The bus will let us off at Bad Deutsch Altenburg (spa village); up the hill to the church with a view to the Danube; down through the village. After an easy walk, the first part will end with a beer stop at the side of the mill- garden.
The bus will then bring us to Petronell for the second part of the trail: walk through the village, flood plain forest, next to the Roman archeological park, beer stop, amphitheatre, and end up with beer in the circle at the "Heidentor".
Carnuntum, on the south bank of the Danube, 50 km away from Vienna has been shaped by the Ancient Romans and by winegrowing. One of the two antique amphitheaters was a film location in the movie "The Gladiator", starring Russell Crowe.
If you join us on this special Hash you can discover all this. Maybe some more secrets are waiting for you?
Be quick to get on our bus – first come first served!
|10. Lobau - The Water Walk aka the "Lumpensammler"
|Lobau, North East City Limits
|Run Type
|Short (flat)
|99 excl. Hares.
This run is for latecomers and those who want to take it easy in an area of nature. This includes both countryside and people – but do not look too hard. Unlike other runs, this will be reachable by public transport.
We will start from the venue once all busses have left.

A preview of The Sixth Extinction
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of of Elizabeth Kolbert's The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History (Henry Holt and Co., 2014). The preview consists of a portion of chapter 11, "The Rhino Gets an Ultrasound," in which Kolbert discusses programs aimed at breeding the Sumatran rhinoceros in captivity. "In an ironic twist," she writes, "humans have brought the species so low that it seems only heroic human efforts can save it."
Praising The Sixth Extinction, Bill McKibben writes, "With her usual lucid and lovely prose, Elizabeth Kolbert lays out the sad and gripping facts of our moment on earth: that we've become a geological force, driving vast swaths of creation over the brink. A remarkable addition to the literature of our haunted epoch." By the way, a portion of NCSE's Josh Rosenau's interview with Kolbert is available at the Science League of America blog.

UX is an abbreviation for User Experience. UX design, however, is a concept that has a lot of different dimensions and disciplines. These dimensions and disciplines are visual design,human and computer interaction, usability, information architect and interactive design. The UX & UI design is a lot more than what you assume or speculate it to be. It's a strategy that engages website visitors for your products or services. As a creative website design agency, we believe that the website success depends on upon the user engagement. So here are some easy and quick 9 ways through which you can enhance UX Strategy it all for yourself!
First, you need to think for your target users. We know that every industry has it's own target users and every user has it's own perception so that you need to think more and speculate about the results that you are in need of.
The website should user-centric, it means targeted user can easily accessible the products and services information. Furthermore, the user can easily communicate or signup with us. If signing up takes a lot of time, they are going to worry about it. If you just add in a caption like "you are just 60 seconds away from signing up with us', you will bring ease to the user. You need to make the user feel comfortable and give them a sense that whatever they are in need of is right there at your website.
A lot of times, your site goes down the slope. It starts to underperform! You can simply copy tweaks as they help you to convert more sales.
In general, we have found many websites which do not have a good design but it's simple to understand. Furthermore, if you have a good strategy and a bad design, your website is going nowhere but down the lane. An unreliable UX & UI strategy stimulates bad UX & UI experience. If there are an issue with your design then fix them ASAP! You should keep it simple yet unique and creative.
A lot of people think that they know what people might be assuming. So they pick words that people are most likely going to be responsive to. But they don't! So what happens next?
You can take some usability tests which clarify what is clear about your copy and what might confuse your user. So monitoring what your users think is a great idea.
Error and fix it messages are really important. You should always tell the user Whats wrong and how they can fix it. The worst part is when the website does not clear whether the username or password is wrong. How is the user going to guess which one has gone wrong for them!
If you have something free for the users, then scream it out of your lungs. Your microcopy should also scream it out for you!
A lot of people think that using technical words and statements makes them a geek. In actual, if you avoid all this and convey a technical message is simpler words; you will certainly rock!
