6 Worst Reasons for Hard Disk Failure and Data Recovery Solutions
Taking the backup of hard disks data is crucial as it may help you resurrect lost files and folders in case of accidental deletion or hard disk formatting. The misery is, no one is careful enough to backup their data or important files. The backup copy is a still a great and easiest way to recover data from external or internal hard disk drive failure or corruption. Hard disk failure can happen anytime due to the bad power supply, virus attack, damaged block, sectors and corrupted operating system files e.g., NTLDR, boot.ini, ms-dos.sys etc.
Top 6 Reasons for Internal or External Hard Disk Drive Failure
Here is the list of top 6 reasons for hard disk failure with its solutions which will surely help the user to recover data easily and without affecting or modifying any data. If in any condition, the solution mentioned below would unable to resolve the issue then you can use data recovery tool to avoid any further damage.
1. Firmware or Manufacturer Faults
- The hard disk is undetectable or not recognized at all by the System.
- The system fails to boot or hang in the middle of the booting process.
This problem occurs mainly with the brand new hard disk which prevents it from working properly. It can happen even after few days of purchasing and there are chances that manufacturer had delivered the faulty disk. These types of hard disks are delivered to the customer without testing.
Users can contact hard disk manufacturer and ask for RA (Return Authorization) as the disk is still under warranty. Therefore, this type of problems can be addressed without inquiring any further and paying any extra amount. However, a user may lose important data that is stored on the hard disk in between before corruption actually took place. The manufacturer won't offer any guarantee of the safety of your data and to recover your lost data from the corrupted hard disk, you definitely require data recovery software for Windows and Mac if the problem is severe and damages are logical.
2. Heat
- Fans are moving too slow or not at all
- Clicking sounds or noise is arising from the system hardware
- Desktop or Laptop gets heated soon after starting
This is the most common cause of all the hard drive failure causes and occurs too frequently. Due to improper ventilation or faulty CPU fan, a system would heat to the peak point and leads to the sudden hard disk crash or severe damage to the computer hardware which is irreversible.
To ensure that the CPU fans are working fine, double check that the sufficient cooling is delivered to the processor and their peripherals. You can use thermal paste and employ them between the heat sinks of CPU fan to make them run smoothly for the upcoming time. Use Stellar SMART tool, it will notify the user about the hard disk conditions and any future risks associated with the hardware. It also helps user about developing bad sectors on the hard disk platter which can cause sudden system freeze or complete system breakdown.
3. Electronic Failure or Power Surges
- System BIOS will unable to detect the hard drive
- Hard drive couldn't be able to spin up
- Sudden startup failure
The UPS may not be able to deliver the required power supply, either too high or too low. It can also occur due to the use of unreliable power source that delivers interrupted power supply.
Make sure that the system hardware is getting only the required power supply. You can troubleshoot it by using UPS of a well-known brand. Also, always switched off your system when not in use or away from your reach. If still, your hard disk drive is inaccessible and not showing up then use Stellar Data Recovery Professional to recover your data immediately.
4. Mechanical or Internal failure
This error happens internally into the hard disk due to of bad sectors and blocks, spindle motor stops functioning, PCB board itself is damaged and read/write head may become immovable.
- Clicking or grinding sounds from the hard drive
- Files & Folders become invisible by the time. Files and folders can also become corrupt and prevent you from accessing it.
- Complete system freezes
- Black screen appears after the booting screen which keeps resisting you from starting the system.
The hard drive carries moving parts which may degrade over time and ultimately results in the mechanically damaged hard disk. A virus attack can erase hard disk data, alter hard disk operation or make the system files corrupt etc. which ultimately contributes to mechanical failure. Many rootkits virus were introduced earlier which becomes active as soon as you start the system and corrupt system functioning at BIOS level. Though, latest Windows operating system such as Windows 8/ Windows 8.1 has the capability to detect that malware and remove it using UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) technology.
Updating the system regularly or weekly, running latest copy of antivirus program, replacing the hard drive after 3-4 years of use etc. are the common measures which can increase your hard disk life.
5. Corrupted Files Symptoms
- Important system files may become damaged or corrupt and prevent users from accessing their system.
- Sudden shutdown due to power failure or force restart can cause files to become corrupt and make your hard disk inaccessible whatsoever.
An Unethical way to shut down the PC, accidentally close running programs, use of malicious or faulty applications, power surges are the factors which contributes towards system file corruption and make the hard disk unstable or stops functioning properly.
Always use the standard way to shut down your PC which can help your computer to close everything properly and command kernel to stops powering remaining CPU equipment. It is also recommended to close all the running programs before closing the system. Avoid installing malicious or faulty software into your PC to keep the hard disk live longer.
6. Human Errors
This error happens mainly due to of human mistakes and may cause serious damages to the system. For ex, modifying the system registry settings, altering system files attribute and location, wrong installation of OS etc. These types of errors were hard to repair and require the most powerful recovery software to scan deeply and recover seriously damaged data.
Getting Your Data Back from Inaccessible or Failed Hard Drive
The hard disk is destined to fail either sooner or later and you are required to have proper backup and restoration plans handy. In case, the backup is missing or your backup plan fails, data recovery software will give you one more chance of restoring files back from the inaccessible or failed hard drive.
What if the Hard Disk is Dead Already?
In some situations, the hard disk may eventually become dead and without giving any grinding or screeching sound. In worst situations, you may have missed the chance to backup your data to another device.
Warning: Read all the advises carefully and perform an operation with care. Any wrong action could make your drive permanently irreparable and your data will be gone forever.
- Avoid using the drive or the problem computer immediately after the issue occurred
- Remove or unplug the drive from the CPU case and place it in the highly cleaned environment.
- Ensure that the hard disk has any marks or 'hot spots' on the external controller board.
- You can also look and confirm yourself that not any drive parts are broken or damaged.
Steps #1. First of all, replace or change the SATA/USB cable as well as power adapter. Sometimes the problems are very common and can be easily removed by just following the basic actions.
Step #2. If the hard drive is on your Laptop and you're trying to connect it externally when this problem surfaces, consider buying a new hard disk case or swap the USB ports. You can also try connecting the same to another computer and see if the system may able to detect it this time.
Step #3. If none of above seems helpful, now turn to check your drive controller board. Remember, any traditional hard disk drive uses to carry controller board mounted externally and need to be replaced carefully. It can damage the hard drive platters and make the stored data beyond your reach.
Make sure the controller board you are going to replace with older hard disk controller board is of same make and model. You can also find a descriptive tutorial on how to replace or repair hard disk controller board over here.Ensure you've enough equipment and professional hand (if needed) to successfully complete the operation. Once you've changed everything, connect it to your computer and see if it working properly. Immediately copy and move all the data to another hard drive.
Step #4. Sometimes, Windows itself may not be able to detect the drive because of file system corruption. However, Live CD of any Linux Distros (Ubuntu works best) can still detect it and allows users to recover data exactly in the form it was before deletion. Then go and grab an Ubuntu Live CD and boot the system using it. Once you're all set, navigate through the hard disk partitions and safely restore all the data that you never wanted to lose.

Farming faces long term challenges
MARKET VOLATILITY is not a UK or EU problem – it's a global problem and a trend we will continue to see – is what delegates heard when Glanbia Cheese CEO, Paul Vernon, addressed the Farmers' Union of Wales.
Mr Vernon said: "From an economic point of view we need to stay in the EU – despite market volatility and abolition of quotas. Dairy markets are oversupplied and that will only change if we have a correction. There are so many factors affecting milk prices but even if Russia lift the ban we will not likely see the same demand for European dairy products in Russia," said Paul Vernon.
Since his time in office, Glanbia Cheese has grown turnover to circa £250m and has become the largest manufacturer of mozzarella cheese in Europe, accounting for over 30 percent of all UK cheese exports and is the second largest cheese manufacturer in the UK.
From its manufacturing facilities in North Wales (Anglesey) and Northern Ireland (Magheralin) the company provides cheese to the leading pizza providers in all the countries of the European Union as well as exporting to a growing number of other counties across the world.
Paul Vernon continued: "Sustainability of supply aligned with cost competiveness will see milk production migrate to the more efficient, regions, producers and processors and tools to manage volatility for the entire supply chain need to (will) emerge," he added.
The company processes circa 1.8 million litres of milk per day, supplied by its contracted farmers in both Wales and Northern Ireland. It employs 350 staff and is the major local employer in the rural areas where its manufacturing facilities are located.
In addition to his role in Glanbia Cheese, Mr Vernon is a member of the group management committee of Glanbia Plc. He is also chairman of Dairy UK (NI), the trade association that represent the interests of both milk producers and processors, and is vice chairman of the main Dairy UK Board.
FUW Carmarthen executive officer David Waters said: "The dairy sector is facing immense challenges at present, with falling prices forcing many farmers to re-evaluate their businesses and having to decide whether to stay in milk production or not.
"Mr Vernon helped to give farmers an insight into the way the dairy industry is likely to develop in the next few years and we thank him for being part of an informative day."

Payment commitment sought from minister
NFU CYMRU has asked the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs to make an early commitment to maintaining the Basic Payment Scheme in Wales for 2021.
In a meeting this week NFU Cymru President John Davies asked the Minister, Lesley Griffiths AM, to commit to maintaining the Basic Payment Scheme unchanged for 2021.
Speaking after the meeting, John Davies said: "The events in Westminster these last few days mean that our future relationship with the EU remains as uncertain as it has ever been, with the prospect of a general election in the not too distant future, this means further political upheaval, and by extension more uncertainty. The fact that the UK Government's Agriculture Bill was not carried forward when parliament was prorogued means that the intended legal basis for setting Welsh agricultural policy has now also disappeared, and we are now essentially back to square one.
"At the end of last year, Welsh Government announced that the Basic Payment Scheme would remain unchanged in 2020; we welcomed that announcement as it offered Welsh farming some stability at a critical time. The uncertainty in the intervening period has only intensified, NFU Cymru considers the possibility of a disorderly Brexit to be a very live possibility, either after a failure to reach an agreement at the end of any extended Article 50 period, or alternatively if the UK fails to agree on a future trading relationship with the EU27 during the transition period.
"There are many factors completely outside of our control which considered individually or collectively would have a very detrimental impact on Welsh agriculture. NFU Cymru is very much of the view that this calls for a cautious and restrained approach from the Welsh Government when it comes to developing future agricultural policy. We would urge Welsh Government to take its time and not to hasten to move away from the present arrangements until we have a far clearer picture of the sort of future trading relationship we will have with the EU27.
"We fully respect that the timing and nature of Brexit, the general election and the fate of the Agriculture Bill are all outside the hands of Welsh Government, but what we do ask for is the support of Welsh Government on the areas that sit within its remit. In our meeting with the Minister, we have asked if she will make an early commitment to the continuation of the BPS unchanged for 2021.
"We have also asked the Minister to ensure that the additional £5.2 million per year for the next two years made as part of the UK Government's response to the Lord Bew review last month is used as a top-up to the BPS. This funding has been allocated to Wales because average Pillar 1 payments have historically been lower in Wales than in some other parts of the UK. We therefore firmly believe that as the Lord Bew review was about correcting this matter then the additional money should be made as a top-up to the BPS and not spent elsewhere."
Public want food standards maintained post-Brexit
THE GOVERNMENT should ensure that all imported food meets the same high animal welfare and environmental standards in place on British farms.
That's the overwhelming view of the public according to new research carried out by ComRes on behalf of the British Guild of Agricultural Journalists (BGAJ).
ComRes surveyed the public in September and found 84% support the view that imports should match British standards as Brexit threatens to open the door to imports from low cost producing, de-regulated markets across the globe.
The study found that just 16% would buy food they know is produced to lower animal welfare standards if it was cheaper than food produced to a high standard.
BGAJ President Baroness Rosie Boycott said: "The results of this study are a stark reminder to the government that the public values the high standards of British farming.
"There will always be countries able to produce cheaper food than Britain but it always comes at a cost. It could be the safety of the food, the farmer, an animal or the environment.
"With Brexit on the horizon, we're on the brink of potentially seeing lower quality food imports flooding into the country.
"The survey resoundingly shows there's no appetite for it and it's the responsibility of government and the entire supply chain to put the safeguards in place to protect both British farmers and the consumer, whose heads may still be turned by attractive price deals in tough economic conditions, despite how they have responded."
The results of the study come at a critical time for British agriculture – a sector which stands to lose more than most if the protection provided by the European Union's single market is not replicated post-Brexit.
British standards of food and farming are among the best in the world thanks to decades of progress in the areas of production that matter most to consumers.
Many countries which can produce food cheaper than Britain often use production methods which are illegal here and across Europe; chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-injected beef being two well-reported examples.
Professor of Food Policy at the University of London, Tim Lang, said: "An overwhelming 84% want imported food to be of the same standard as home-produced food. Gung-ho supporters of yoking the UK to the USA post-Brexit should note this
"The survey suggests the UK public almost certainly recognises the need for the UK farming to tick lots of boxes. It's got the message that farming is multi-functional. But have the politicians?"
84% of GB adults agree the government should ensure all imported food meets the same environmental and animal welfare standards as food produced in the UK. Only 2% disagree
A majority (53%) of GB adults would not buy food that is produced to lower animal welfare standards if it's cheaper than food produced to a high standard of animal welfare. Only around one in six (16%) agree
Younger people are less likely to disagree with the statement than older people – it seems attitude to the trade-off between animal welfare and price swings towards animal welfare the older we get (45% disagree 18-34; 52% 35-54; 61% 55+)
62% of the public agree that UK farmers should receive financial support from the taxpayer to ensure a continued supply of food produced by British farmers post-Brexit, compared to just one in ten (10%) who disagree. 68 per cent of rural and 61 per cent of urban respondents agreed
Two in five (39%) GB adults agree that a UK farmer's primary purpose should be to produce food rather than carry out environmental work, although just under a third (29%) disagree. 33% were not clear (26% neither, 7% don't know)
62% of the public agree farmers have an important role to play in generating renewable electricity from technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels, while around one in twelve (8%) disagree
Just under half (48%) of GB adults agree that a climate change levy should be charged on food with a higher carbon footprint, with the proceeds spent on encouraging carbon-friendly farming methods, compared to fewer than one in five (17%) who disagree
34% agree new plant-breeding technologies, such as genetically modified and gene-edited crops, should be used to grow food in the UK, compared to more than a quarter (27%) who disagree. Young people aged 18-24 are more likely to agree (46%) with the statement than any other age group
Retail and UK marketplace
Only 24% agree UK farmers receive a fair share of the profits made by retailers on the food that they produce, compared to more than a third (36%) who disagree. Rural respondents were more likely to disagree than urban respondents (43% rural vs 35% urban)
Almost two thirds (62%) of GB adults agree the public has adequate access to the UK countryside in terms of rights of way and footpaths, compared to just one in 10 (11%) who disagree. Londoners and those in the West Midlands were the least likely to agree with the statement (54% and 55% respectively), whereas those in Wales and the North East were the most likely to agree (both 70%)
Four in five (79%) adults are proud of the British countryside and the rural communities which sustain it, compared to just 3% who disagree. While urban respondents still have a high level of agreement with the statement (77%), almost nine in ten (88%) of rural respondents agree
NFU plans for New Horizons
NFU CYMRU's annual conference takes place on Thursday, November 7, at 10 am with another stellar line-up of speakers.
To be held at the Metropole Hotel, Llandrindod Wells, the conference, titled, Welsh Farming: New Horizons, will focus on future opportunities for Welsh agriculture.
NFU Cymru President, John Davies said: "We are, once again, looking forward to welcoming hundreds of members to our annual conference. With so much uncertainty within the industry at the moment, this conference will be an opportunity for members to look beyond the horizon line towards future opportunities for the industry.
"Our annual conference has continued to grow and become the must-attend event of its kind in Wales, consistently attracting world-class speakers – and this year is no exception.
"At NFU Cymru we are both passionate and ambitious about the future of Welsh food and farming. We believe that given the right support from the government, we can continue to develop a profitable, productive and progressive agricultural industry. I hope that our expert line-up of speakers will help inspire members and allow them to head home with some thoughts and ideas on how to take their own farming businesses forward.
"We will also use the conference to present the first-ever NFU Cymru Sustainable Agriculture Award, kindly sponsored by Wynnstay. This award seeks to recognise the unparalleled contribution Welsh farming enterprises make to the economic, environmental, social and cultural well-being of Wales, and I'm very much looking forward to presenting this award to the very worthy winner."

A bibcock is a faucet installed at a downward-pointing angle. Also known as a sillcock, this design is especially common for outdoor faucets and some kinds of sink taps. Most hardware and plumbing suppliers carry bibcocks, along with replacement parts, and people can also fabricate their own or order them for custom applications. People sometimes refer to outdoor faucets of this design as hose bibbs, a reference to the fact that they are most commonly used to connect for hoses for watering, washing the car, and similar tasks.
This design often features a threaded tap, allowing people to screw various attachments on. These can include attachments such as screens to distribute the flow of the water evenly, as seen on many kitchen sinks, along with hoses and faucet extenders. A seal is usually needed between the attachment and the faucet to prevent water from leaking out around the threading. The bibcock can be controlled with a variety of valves and taps, typically situated close to the faucet so people can easily turn it on and off.
Depending on the materials used, the durability of a bibcock can vary. Those designed for the outdoors are usually heavy and may have design features intended to prevent freezing. This can be important in cold climates, where pipes can explode in a cold snap and leak water, leading to further damage, as well as waste. Often, pipes are insulated with jackets, but the bibcock must be left exposed, and a poor design can be vulnerable to freezing. Valves designed to check the backward flow of water may also be required to prevent contamination of a water supply.
A common problem with bibocks involves loosening over time of the valve used to control the tap, leading to leaks. Sometimes, a gasket can be replaced, but in other instances, it may be necessary to replace the valve. The water supply should be turned off before doing this kind of work and it may be necessary to call a plumber if the plumbing is complex or if replacing the tap does not seem to address the issue.
In some cases, the building code may require people to install a bibcock for safety or other reasons. Contractors will know more about the plumbing code requirements in a given region and can provide information on adhering to those requirements during construction and remodeling. Plumbers usually install compliant fixtures and supplies when they do installation and repair work, and may sometimes recommend changes to a plumbing system to make it code compliant.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

As you know I never wanted her to go into a home and felt that I had somehow failed when she did, but in hindsight it was the right decision and one which allowed me to regain the love and affection which had started to dribble away a little when faced with the gruelling challenges of dealing with someone who is in late stage vascular dementia. Right up until the end I could still see flashes of her personality which showed that she was still with us and for someone so tiny her strength and determination was astonishing.
Her funeral took place yesterday, it was a celebration of her life and the force of nature that she was. I thought it would be fitting to close this blog with the eulogy I wrote for her yesterday.

The Royalty Of The Heavens:
Fractal Sovereignty
As sons and daughters of our creator, we carry the fractal sovereignty of our source. We are co-creators of this spiritual experience of being human… Kings and Queens of this portable real estate (originally from the term Royal Estate) of this earthly body.
Where we went wrong… in governance, law, medicine, pharmacy, commerce, economics, science and more…
How we can help… in the little things we do every day!
Whatever we keep foremost in our hearts is where we are navigating towards. And while our maker is famous for drawing straight with (our) crooked lines, we can help ourselves by staying centered in our hearts, the only sanctuary where we can prepare ourselves to listen for that gentle call of Grace. Next time you say good-bye to a friend or loved one, remember that the term came as a shortening of "God be with you!"

According to the 2016 Global R&D Funding Forecast, there has been a 3.5% increase in R&D investments throughout the world. Moreover, a recent news stated that USD 40.1 billion expenditure had been made by biotech companies in 2015. Thus, a huge amount of spending in R&D activities is expected to enhance developments in this field, thereby boosting the demand for mycoplasma testing products.
U.S. mycoplasma testing market, by product, 2014 - 2025 (USD Million)
Research work for pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors are being increasingly supported by the government. The U.S. government is providing financial support to the global pharmaceutical companies in order to facilitate research-based activities for new drug development. For instance, in 2013, GlaxoSmithKline entered into an agreement of USD 200 million with the U.S. government to develop antibiotic drugs. Thus, growing government funding for pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector has stimulated R&D activities, thereby, fostering huge application of mycoplasma testing products.
Mycoplasma contamination also adversely affects the research work of scientists in laboratories. Human mycoplasma is a key source of cell culture contamination that occurs due to the laboratories workers who are infected with M. orale or M. fermentans. Mycoplasma contamination can also arise out of a previously infected cell culture that was brought in the laboratory. Hence, testing of such bacteria is considered as a significant requirement to generate a robust data in the field of biomedical research.
On the basis of products, the mycoplasma testing market is segmented into instruments, kits & reagents, and services. Kits & reagents accounted for the largest market share in 2016 owing to repeated purchase of consumables for detection of mycoplasma in cell culture research work. Kit & reagents are further segmented into PCR assays, nucleic acid detection kits, stains, elimination kits, and standards & controls.
Instruments are expected to showcase significant growth over the forecast period. This is due to the growing availability of automated instruments for the detection mycoplasma, which delivers rapid results with greater efficiency.
On the basis of technology, the PCR segment held the largest market share in 2016. This technology enables the detection of multiple species of mycoplasma while separating other contaminating DNA. It provides test results with high specificity and efficiency.
Microbial culture is expected to showcase attractive growth over the forecast period. This is due to the rising number of research activities conducted in the field of biopharmaceutical industry and huge application of this technology in mycoplasma contamination testing.
On the basis of application, cell line testing contributed toward the largest revenue in 2016 owing to growing number of research activities undertaken in the field of cell culture. It is also expected to witness highest growth over the forecast period due to rising mycoplasma contamination in cell culture.
End of production cells testing is anticipated to exhibit significant growth over the forecast period owing to huge amount of cell harvest and growing number of clinical trials for drug discovery & development. Thus, quality control measures taking place in the process of drug discovery is majorly triggering growth of this segment.
North America mycoplasma testing market share, by application, 2016 (%)
On the basis of end-use, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies held the largest market share in 2016 due to huge amount of investments made in R&D activities by such companies, which has led to progressive research related to drug discovery.
Contract research organizations are expected to show lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to huge number of research services being conducted by these organizations, which are outsourced by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
In 2016, North America dominated the mycoplasma testing industry owing to rising healthcare spending and investments made by the U.S. government to promote research-based activities in biopharmaceutical industries.
Asia Pacific is projected to display lucrative growth over the forecast period. This is due to significant awareness and funding initiatives generated by the Indian government to facilitate additional R&D activities for the introduction of new drugs.
Some of the significant players of the market include Thermo Fisher Scientific; Merck KGaA; Lonza Group Ltd.; PromoCell GmbH; ATCC (American Type Culture Collection); Charles River Laboratories International, Inc.; Bionique Testing Laboratories, Inc.; Biological Industries Israel Beit Haemek Ltd.; and InvivoGen.
The key strategies concerning the growth of these companies include new product development, mergers & acquisitions, and geographical expansions. For instance, in 2015, Merck acquired Sigma-Aldrich Co., one of the global leaders in life science sector, with an aim to serve customers in the field of life science.

Ravens rookie defensive lineman Brent Urban has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, coach John Harbaugh said Thursday.
"We got bad news on Brent Urban," Harbaugh said.
Urban will undergo surgery to repair the damage for the season-ending injury sustained while being blocked to the ground by offensive tackle Jah Reid on Wednesday.
"It was a clean tear, which is positive," Harbaugh said. "He's been through this before. It was a one-on-one block and it was just a situation where one guy was blocking the other and the knee just buckled on him."
The injury was immediately regarded as serious Wednesday when Urban knocked over during a block by offensive tackle Jah Reid.
A fourth-round draft pick from Virginia, Urban had been impressive during training camp and was expected to be part of the Ravens' defensive line rotation. The 6-foot-6, 298-pound lineman tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee as a redshirt freshman in college. He underwent ankle surgery in February after aggravating a pre-existing injury during the Senior Bowl all-star game.
Meanwhile, defensive end Timmy Jernigan and veteran cornerback Lardarius Webb remained sidelined Thursday morning with injuries.
Jernigan is dealing with back spasms.
Jernigan appeared to hurt his back. Webb has been dealing with a lower back injury, including spasms, since Friday. Tests revealed no structural damage, according to sources.
Several veteran players had the day off Thursday, including wide receiver Jacoby Jones, nose tackle Haloti Ngata, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs and running back Justin Forsett.
Middle linebacker Daryl Smith hasn't practiced since injuring his groin Monday night.
Offensive guard Will Rackley (concussion) has been out since last week. Nose tackle Terrence Cody is on the physically unable to perform list and is out indefinitely after undergoing offseason hip surgery.
Rookie wide receiver Jeremy Butler has a groin injury. He's expected to miss at least a few days.
Inside linebacker Albert McClellan returned to practice after missing one day with a minor heel injury.

Data Logger the size of a credit card
Negligent handling of temperature sensitive goods can have fatal consequences. Of course it is advantageous to control temperatures, however temperature data loggers of the past were often bulky and unmanageable. Now there is a data logger which has been reduced to the size of a credit card.
Goods are not always treated gently during transportation. Shipping businesses are increasingly under intense cost and time pressure; thus the client's stringent requirements requiring the handling of the goods are seldom adhered to. Some commercial merchandise is very sensitive to rough handling and especially to temperatures which are too high or too low: foodstuffs (fruit, meat); pharmaceuticals and vaccines, many of which must strictly comply with cold chain regulations; blood bottles, live organs and livestock. Because it was often difficult to determine at which point in time a temperature violation occurred, a freight forwarding company was easily able to excuse itself from any fault in the event of a damage claim.
The temperature data logger "CellaLog" makes this a problem of the past: a processor with a temperature sensor, contained within an enclosure the size of a credit card, 4 mm thick and 30 g light, developed by Keller HCW GmbH in Ibbenbüren, Germany. CellaLog can easily accompany the goods during transportation, usually indiscernible to the shipper.
CellaLog - independent of mains power or any bothersome wiring - continuously monitors the temperature and saves the data in regular intervals.
Prior to the start of the data logging mission, the user programs essential parameters: measurement interval, limit temperatures, mission name/identification, etc. and the mission is then activated.
Once the transported goods have arrived, the receiver can establish what has occurred in regard to tem-perature. For a quick on-the-spot check the "CellaPen"-magnetic pen can be briefly held to the card.
If, during the course of the data logging mission, the preset limit tem-peratures were underrun or exceeded, a red LED in the logger card will blink. If the temperature readings were maintained within the permissible range, a green LED will blink. The receiver of the goods can immediately decide whether or not to accept the merchandise. To obtain a detailed analysis of the entire measurement period the data logger can be inserted into a reading device connected to a PC. The PC monitor will display all recorded temperatures corresponding to the date and time.
Absolutely tamperproof
The computer and electronics industry has painfully come to realise that, in order to protect against loss or damage caused by hackers, security measures must be taken. The use of a CellaLog almost certainly rules out the possibility of data manipulation. The logger card provides a fastening hole so that it can be secured with a lock to deter against theft. Individual, inalterable logger ID numbers make it virtually impossible to fraudulently or mistakenly swap cards. Temperature data is tamperproof due to fully sealed electronics and a configuration lockout key. The battery, which lasts up to five years, is completely inaccessible; and thus prevents the possibility of data deletion due to battery removal. CellaLog is mechanically designed to be shockproof and waterproof. The logger can be employed within liquids or in harsh industrial environments. The integrated realtime clock runs continuously and the logger is maintenance free during its service life.
Aside from the shipping business, CellaLog can be used for a wide variety of stationary applications such as within refrigerator or freezer chambers.
With temperature sensitive goods it is crucial to know the temperature range within which the goods were kept, or if an electrical power outage occurred. It is difficult to prevent and/or identify such disturbances when a logger is wired to the mains power supply .
CellaLog is never susceptible to a power outage. In large refrigerated chambers several loggers can be utilised.
In industrial facilities CellaLog can be placed in hard-to-access locations or areas of limited space such as at inaccessible machines. The card is practical for onetime measurement tasks because it does not entail any wiring or installation work.
The measurement range of –40 to +85 °C and the resolution of 0.5 K cover most common applications. The memory holds up to 2048 data points and offers two modes of opera-tion: the datalogger ends when the memory is filled up, or the logger will overwrite old data to continue logging indefinitely.
The histogram memory records up to 65,535 data samples and shows the number of times specific tempera-tures were sampled at a resolution of 2°C. Two limit values can be set; when these are exceeded the third memory is used to function as an alarm memory.
The measurement interval can be adjusted between 1 and 255 minutes (4.25 hours). Thus, the data logging mission can last up to one year. A start delay of up to 65 535 minutes can be programmed. The battery will last at least five years and has a built-in state-of-charge indicator.
Easy Data Analysis.
The "CellaDrive" reading device is a tool for downloading the recorded measurement data to a PC. CellaLog is simply inserted into the reading device which is connected to the serial interface of a PC. The temperature values including date and time can be viewed at a PC for further analysis. An alarm journal is generated and measurement data including tem-perature violations is archived in a data base.
The dedicated software provides various types of data analysis and archiving. For further processing the data can be expressed in ASCII format and exported to other software applications, e.g. to Excel for spread-sheet analysis.

Obama Pins Fate of Nuclear Pact on Documents From an Iranian "Curveball"
One of the issues Obama administration officials are insisting must be resolved to the satisfaction of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) before any nuclear agreement may be concluded involves "possible military dimensions." That term refers to documents long discredited by German intelligence but which the United States and the IAEA have maintained came from a covert Iranian nuclear weapons program.
A former senior German official has now revealed that the biggest collection of documents cited as evidence of such a covert Iran program actually came from a member of the Iranian terrorist organization Mujihedin-E-Khalq (MEK) and that German intelligence sought to warn the George W. Bush administration that the source of the documents was not trustworthy.
The use of those documents to make a case for action against Iran closely parallels the Bush administration's use of the testimony of the now-discredited Iraqi exile called "Curveball" to convince the US public to support war against Iraq. The parallel between the two episodes was recognized explicitly by the German intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), according to Karsten Voigt, who was the German Foreign Office's coordinator of North American-German relations.

Posted by: Santosh kr.Roy
I am suffering from anal fistula from 2 month. I had taken Myristica 30, so one external opening created through which pus and blood drains. Now I take Thuja 200. and Silicea 200 in two days but it do not help. These days dark red blood come very frequently in morning.Requesting you to suggest me doses of these medicine if both can help to cure my anal fistula.
I will be thankful to you.
Santosh kr. Roy
Dear Santosh,
Did a homoeopathic physician prescribe these for you? Self-medication is not advisable and unknowingly, you could make your problem worse. Thuja and Silicea are not the only remedies that may be useful for fistula. Depending on your case, the right remedy needs to be chosen. Please consult a homoeopathic physician in person for proper treatment and permanent resolution of the problem.
Good luck,
Dr. Firuzi Mehta

Day 5: Learning the Art of Bartering
The above image really describes this day surprisingly well. I know it's similar to the picture I used on Day 3, but if you clicked through to the album, you'd already know that I promised to get a better picture of this sign. I still don't understand its meaning or why it exists, and therefore the sign in and of itself is crazy. The simple fact is that today I saw a many things that I will never forget, and I took an astounding number of photos to help document the entire thing. Expect a LOT of pictures in this post, so I hope you like my photography as much as you like reading my blog, otherwise I'd advise you to turn back before it's too late.

If you caught the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, you'd have noticed that the two gorgeous models had on these gold Alexander McQueen numbers featured in Vogue UK September 2012 issue.
The spread is titled "Midas Touch" and it gives us a glimpse into up coming trends. Gold being a major one to look out for.
The editorial features Naomi Campbell, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn, David Gandy, Karen Elson, Stella Tennant, Lily Cole, Lily Donaldson and Kate Moss. Enjoy…xx

She is fierce, right?! Loving Alexander McQueen!
I was glued to the screen when they all walked out at the ceremony. Had to post British Vogues picture as soon as it was posted on my FB page. Isn't David Gandy a dream……….that was the best part of the ceremony for me along with George Micheal, Queen & 1D's performance 😉
I so agree with you both.
u need to show me how to get dress . because i like everything u put on

Have you ever heard a variation of this?
Every immigration lawyer has heard it multiple times. Here are some explanations.
They are illegal, so they are criminals
Being in the US illegally is not necessarily a crime. Entering without inspection by an immigration officer, and re-entering after being removed, are crimes punishable with up to 6 months (first offence) or 2 years (2nd offence) in prison and minor fines.
About 40% of undocumented immigrants came to the US legally, but stayed longer than legally permitted.[1] This overstay is a civil violation, not a criminal one. If you have ever driven over the speed limit, got a parking ticket, been creative on your tax return, etc, you have committed more crimes than someone who just overstayed a visa.
Why can't they get in line, like everyone else?
(Spoiler: there is no line for them)
It is much more difficult to immigrate to the US than most people realize. Many people believe that immigrants could immigrate legally if they wanted to. In fact, the opposite is true and immigrants are usually undocumented because they have no way to get legal status in the US.
Legal immigration almost always requires an employer or a family member to "sponsor" the immigrant. Most people come on nonimmigrant (temporary) visas initially, and later move to permanent residence (green cards). With very limited exceptions, a person cannot come to the US to work without prior immigration approval, and this approval must be based on an employer's sponsorship.
Even if the worker has an employer to sponsor them, they must fit into strictly-defined categories of workers. These visa categories are very biased in favor of professional-level employees, or those with exceptional ability (athletes, scientists, performers, etc)[2]. There is no immigration category for the typical foreign worker with no third-level education or exceptional skills.
There are limited visas available for seasonal workers, but these still require a petitioning employer and are limited in numbers and time. In addition, the processing time can be 6 months or more. Employers often cannot predict the number of seasonal workers they will need that far in advance.
If you have a family member to sponsor your move to the US, you may be in luck….. or maybe not so much. If you are the spouse, parent or child of a US citizen ("immediate relative"), you may be able to move to the US in less than a year. Yes, even if you are married to a US citizen, you cannot live with your spouse until you have gone through the multi-step immigration process (unless you have an independent reason to legally live in the US, e.g. your own work visa).
If you are not an "immediate relative", the green card process takes 3 to 22+ years, depending your relationship and your nationality. If you are the Chinese spouse of a permanent resident, your wait time is about 3 years now. If you are the Filipino brother of a US citizen, the wait is 22+ years. If you are the Venezuelan grandson of a US citizen, it doesn't matter how difficult your life in Venezuela is right now, Grandma cannot sponsor you to come to the US.
Why can't they come legally, like my ancestors did?
(Spoiler: because it was much easier back then)*
Immigration has changed dramatically since many of your ancestors came here. In fact, there is a good chance that most people who immigrated over 75 years ago would not be admitted today.
If your ancestors came before 1882, there were no immigration laws to break so everyone came here legally. If they came before 1924, there were so few immigration laws that it was still difficult to come here illegally.
In the 1880s, legislation was passed aimed at limiting immigration – but unless you were Chinese, intellectually disabled or likely to become a public charge, you were sill welcome.
It wasn't until 1892 that the US government started inspecting people who arrived in the US. The first, and best-known, of these inspection stations was Ellis Island. It was still very easy to pass the inspection. About 10,000 people passed through Ellis Island every day at its peak, and 99% of those were permitted to stay. Between 1900 and 1920, the US admitted over 14.5 million immigrants.[3]
Immigration restrictions really started with legislation in 1921 and 1924, and has become increasingly more complex since then. Even in the late 1950s, it was much easier than today, however. My 82-year old father came from Ireland to Chicago to work (temporarily) in 1958. He got the equivalent of a green card just by applying directly at the US consulate, passing a cursory medical exam, convincing them that he wouldn't become a communist and proving that he could support himself (he had funds for a week!).
* And are you sure your ancestors came legally??
Many immigrants who came here illegally over the years have benefitted from the various amnesty-type relief measures available[4]. Maybe Granddad didn't come legally after all, but was granted an amnesty…..
Don't they have anchor babies so they can stay here?
No – unless this is a VERY long-term plan.
Anyone born in the US is automatically a US citizen. However, having a US citizen child does not automatically grant any right to the child's parents to live in the US.
A US citizen child can petition for ("sponsor") her parents to become permanent residents..... but only after the child turns 21. Up to then, an undocumented parent has no legal right to remain in the US simply because they have a US citizen child.
You can see that most people don't stay in the US illegally because it's just too much trouble or takes too much time to get the correct paperwork. They will never qualify, no matter how long they wait.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been forced to delay accepting expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) applications after a federal district judge temporarily blocked both it and the Deferred Action for Parents of U.S. Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents (DAPA) program. The expanded DACA program was to take effect on February 18, 2015. DAPA was slated to begin in May.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, in Texas, ruled late Monday night to block executive actions Obama took late last year to shield as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. Judge Hanen halted Obama's executive action, ruling that the administration had failed to comply with the Administrative Procedure Act, which calls for the White House to afford a longer notification and comment period before taking action. The ruling was issued in a lawsuit filed by 26 U.S. states seeking to bar the Obama Administration from certain executive actions on immigration.
The DHS immediately issued a statement confirming that they intended to appeal the decision, but would comply with it while an appeal is pending.
Secretary Johnson stated that
"...the Department of Homeland Security will not begin accepting requests for the expansion of DACA tomorrow, February 18, as originally planned. Until further notice, we will also suspend the plan to accept requests for DAPA.
The Department of Justice, legal scholars, immigration experts and even other courts have said that our actions are well within our legal authority. Our actions will also benefit the economy and promote law enforcement. We fully expect to ultimately prevail in the courts, and we will be prepared to implement DAPA and expanded DACA once we do."
The program extends to NYC residents who are not in lawful immigration status, prompting some criticism from conservative commentators including false claims that the ID cards grant voting rights.
Instructions on how to apply for the cards are on the IDNYC website, and include a list of the required documents to prove identity and residence. The application forms are available in over 25 languages, including Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Urdu, and Hebrew. The cards are free for anyone applying in the first year (during 2015), and are valid for 5 years.
Benefits of the card, as listed on the official FAQs, are:
You can use the card to enter all City buildings, such as schools, and access City services. Police officers will accept the IDNYC card as valid identification. This is important because if you do not have identification with an address, in instances where you would otherwise be issued a summons, the police officer will bring you into the police station instead.
The majority of the publicity surrounding President Obama's Executive Action last week is concerned with the relief it gives to undocumented immigrants. Contrary to some reports, the proposals do NOT offer any amnesty or path to citizenship, and are just temporary measures.
1. DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) Expansion.
In June 2012, President Obama announced that some undocumented people, who had come to the US as children, would not be deported. These people are sometimes referred to as "Dreamers" after a proposed bill called the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.
Obama's Executive Action expands the relief available as follows:
The USCIS website explains the former requirements for DACA.
All except the first and third criteria still apply.
USCIS may begin accepting applications approximately 90 days from November 20, 2014
2. Relief for Parents of Permanent Residents and Citizens
The most controversial element of Obama's proposals allow for the undocumented parents of US citizens or permanent residents to get work authorization and relief from deportation for 3 years. Applicants will need to register, submit biometric data, pass background checks, pay fees, and show that their child was born before November 20, 2014.
The requirements are:
USCIS may begin accepting applications approximately 180 days (6 months) from November 20, 2014.

GM and Toyota Have Strongest Showing in Vincentric CPO Awards
The Vincentric Best CPO Value in America awards were launched last week and General Motors and Toyota each took eight Vincentric awards. Honda took best value passenger car brands, Lexus won best luxury brands, and GMC captured best truck brand award.
The awards recognize efforts manufacturers have put into quality improvements –
supported by strong CPO warranties that provide value to buyers of certified pre-owned vehicles, said David Wurster, President of Vincentric. Winners were identified by measuring which vehicles had lower than expected ownership costs given their market segment and price.
