Last week we had the pleasure of hosting the very first of our FMAV Webinar Series. In this month's webinar, we were joined by Trevor Lui (International Centre), Stefani Dunn (Decor & More), and Jamie Richardson (FMAV) to take everyone through how they can elevate their corporate Holiday party with great eats, decor, and new technology. These are just a few of the top trends in decor, catering, and technology we talked about.
Old is new again
"With old fashion and nostalgia, there are so many heart strings that really come through. It's the feelings and experiences people make emotional associations with like falling fresh snow that develop a great concept" -Stefani Dunn (Decor & More)
A winter wonderland concept is always popular because people tend to associate it with happy holiday memories and it feels like home and gives that overall feeling of nostalgia which ultimately connects your attendees to the event on an emotional level. Stefani gives us ways to take this older idea and give it a fresh new spin.
Play with your food
"We call it Experiential Dining, and it's a really big thing we're going to see a lot more of in the future" -Trevor Lui (International Centre)
With emerging trends like "Shuck 'n Go" and Live Smoking, your food and beverage can double as entertainment and leave your attendees with an unforgettable dining experience.
Get Interactive
"Using app driven activations to get people to move around the space and engage with different areas of the event environment" -Jamie Richardson (FMAV)
These types of technologies like beacons and RFID can be used for gamification and other interactive experiences to promote engagement. Think Scavenger hunt or trivia game with a prize component

Get Files Off Old Laptop
I need to get some files off an old laptop.
>>> Old Computer <<<<
I've got an old Dell "Latitude CP" laptop that has Windows 98SE on it.
Haven't used in years.
It has a serial port, USB port (assume 1.0), CD-ROM (Read Only), Floppy Disk, and a place for an old modem card
I believe I still have the old plug-in modem.
>>> New Computer <<<
Running Windows 7 (32 bit).
Has USB 2.0, 3.0, a serial port card, and router connection to NET.
Had thought about using a null modem cable but not sure what software would work on both machines.
With the above configurations, what is the best way to get data from the old to new computer?
|My System Specs
|22 Jun 2016
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit sp1
What sort of files are you hoping to retrieve?.
|My System Specs
|23 Jun 2016
Various types:
Couple old *.mdb, some VB6 source code, and an exe (not mine). I can zip them on the old system if needed.
IMHO question confusing as don't understand what file type has to do with anything as every file just series of bytes.
|My System Specs

Personally, I would pull the hard drive... because I already own a USB to hard drive adapter.
|My System Specs
|23 Jun 2016
a.k.a. UNI:
Thanks for responding.
Had considered pulling the hard drive as have a 2.5/3.5 to SATA adapter.
However when I looked at an old uninstalled HD for this laptop, saw it had what looked like a mini-parallel connector on end of HD instead of IDE. Didn't recall that type connector being used with laptop HDs. Plan to pull one installed in old laptop today to confirm. If so, my guess is USB to HD adapter would NOT work either because of HD interface.
So will pursue thumb drive idea for now. Not sure if Win98 had a size limit for thumb drives.
|My System Specs
|23 Jun 2016
Dell often uses an adapter on those laptop hard drives. It should pull right off.
|My System Specs
|23 Jun 2016
Thanks for your effort on my behalf.
Found that out after pulling HD from Dell's tray.
Guess getting old and memory not as good.
Appreciate the Refresh.
|My System Specs
|24 Jun 2016
You are welcome.
That info will hopefully fade from my memory too...
...if I ever get rid of the stack of Dell laptop drives sitting on my desk
|My System Specs
|25 Jun 2016
Windows 7 Professional, SP1, x86
Just sayin'.......
If that old hard drive is still running you're way ahead of the game.
In so many cases the motherboard won't even boot up and so the drive is not accessible via normal means.
Speaking as a PC tech, I'd just remove the old HD and connect it as a slave to my desktop PC, and access the files, copy them to a new folder in my PC and then burn them to a CD or DVD for permanent storage.
I've had to do that many times for a friend/customer who had a PC blow up on them. They were willing to just throw away the PC, but wanted to preserve the data on the HD.
Good luck to you,

text: The township and the pass are named after Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson (1841–1934). Arthur Dobson had been tasked by the Chief Surveyor, Thomas Cass, to find out if there was an available pass out of the Waimakariri watershed into valleys running to the West Coast. In 1864, his brother Edward joined him and accompanied him into the valley of the Otira River. A West Coast Māori Chief, Tarapuhi, told Arthur of a pass that Māori hunting parties occasionally used. When Arthur returned to Christchurch, he sketched the country he had traversed and included it in a report to Cass. Arthur Dobson did not name the pass, which he found very steep on the western side.Dobson named the site that became the township Camping Flat.

Probably no prior presidential children were watched, followed, or written about as were Grover Cleveland's. The entire nation followed the Cleveland family, and the antics of the children growing up in the White House. Although common today, Cleveland's family was the first to receive this star treatment. Certainly, the advent of inexpensive newspapers, competition for readership, and the first newspaper chains increased the appetite for news of the children of the First Family.
And here's some information on Esther:
Esther Cleveland, 1893-1980. Esther is also famous, as the answer to a popular trivia question. Esther was the first, and to date the only, child of a president born in the White House. Esther did volunteer work in England during World War I, where she met her husband, Captain William Bosanquet of the British army. Bosanquet was an executive in the iron and steel industry. After her husband died, Esther returned to the United States and settled in Tamworth, New Hampshire.

Fittingly, On Armistice Day, Thursday 11th November, the Museum will be holding a Service of Thanksgiving to honour the life and work of Doug Sample, our Canada Branch President, who sadly passed away on November 7th last year. This will take place at 2pm in the Museum Chapel.
We are delighted that several members of Doug's family will be joining us from Canada for the occasion, these being his daughters Donna and Beverley, who is also accompanied by her daughter Sara and also Doug's granddaughter Jill from his son Jim, who is unable to come across at this point.
It is also very pleasing that the Canadian High Commission are sending a representative, Major Terry Ledrew, plus a representative from RAF Leeming will be present. Doug, himself a former Air Gunner with 415 Squadron, based at Eastmoor near Sutton on the Forest, York, did much to raise awareness of and honour his countrymen who fought so willingly, with Canada being the first nation to join Britain's side in the fight against Nazi oppression. It was fitting that he was awarded the Canadian Veterans Affairs Commendation in 2006, in recognition of his achievements.
Doug will be familiar to many who have been associated with the Museum for any length of time, as he was actively involved from around 1988, establishing the Canada fundraising branch which has contributed so greatly to the Museum's development.
During the occasion, a Canadian Maple Tree will be planted and Dedicated in his memory, along with a memorial plaque to be located near to the Memorial Garden.
This will be a poignant occasion to remember a great freind and any members who wish to attend are asked to please notify Ian Richardson, Communications Manager on 01904 608595.

Our eldest just received the Sacrament of Confirmation, and the chrism oil smeared across her teenaged forehead transported me back to when she received the same glorious-smelling oil on her bitty baby head at baptism. Incidentally, teenagers don't tolerate their mothers huffing their sweet-smelling heads as well as infants do. Truly, truly I say to you: The days are long, yet the years are short.
Now, as a young Mom, my skin crawled whenever someone observed my spirited youngsters and felt compelled to offer this gem: "Treasure every! single! minute!" I'd force a smile and bite my tongue to keep from pelting the well-meaning stranger with a litany of grievances. Did she expect me to cherish every blow-out diaper, each sleepless night, all ear infections and colicky episodes? How about the countless tantrums and the myriad other exhausting maladies of young motherhood?
Today, comments about how full my hands are don't irk me like they used to. When the cashier at the store is mortified that I have the audacity to mother five—FIVE!!—children and declares: "That's too many kids!" I'm neither shocked nor angry, and I'm certainly not losing any sleep over her ridiculous opinion. Rather, I laugh heartily and ask: "Which one would you like me to take back?"

DC animated universe
The DC animated universe (often abbreviated as DCAU) is the term used to identify the continuity in which the various animated series based on DC comic characters exist in, beginning with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. The universe is also commonly referred to as the Timmverse or Diniverse, after co-creators Bruce Timm and Paul Dini. However, generally speaking, "Timmverse" is a more appropriate term as Bruce Timm has been more consistently involved in the various DCAU series.
In DCAU Continuity
It should be noted that although there have been many cartoons created from DC properties, only cartoons that have spun off from Batman: The Animated Series count in the universe. Thus, shows like Super Friends and The Batman are not, but Static Shock and Superman: The Animated Series are.
- Batman: The Animated Series (with the season three title The Adventures of Batman & Robin), 1992-1995, 85 episodes
- Superman: The Animated Series (part of The New Batman/Superman Adventures), 1996-2000, 54 episodes
- The New Batman Adventures (part of The New Batman/Superman Adventures), 1997-1999, 24 episodes
- Batman Beyond, 1999-2001, 52 episodes
- Static Shock, 2000-2004, 52 episodes
- The Zeta Project, 2001-2002, 26 episodes
- Justice League (entitled Justice League Unlimited starting with season three), 2001-2006, 91 episodes
As well as the various Warner Bros. Animation television series, four feature films were created as a part of the DCAU:
- Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (tied to Batman: The Animated Series), December 25, 1993
- Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (tied to Batman: The Animated Series), March 17, 1998
- Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (tied to Batman Beyond), December 12, 2000
- Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (tied to The New Batman Adventures), October 21, 2003
Warner Bros. Animation also created a couple of web series, set in the DCAU.
- Lobo, 2000
- Gotham Girls, 2000-2002
Comic Books
Although the DCAU has a considerable amount of comic books that spawned from the various series, they are not explicitly in continuity. Rather, they borrow the continuity of the series in question and uses its characters, but does not actually affect the series. In some cases the also use characters unavailable to the DCAU, like Blue Beetle.
- Batman Adventures
- Batman and Robin Adventures
- Gotham Adventures
- Superman Adventures
- Adventures in the DCAU
- Batman Beyond Adventures
- Justice League Adventures
- Justice League Unlimited
This listing does not count the various one-shots, miniseries and other short lived series which deal with the DCAU.
Questionable Continuity
Although the above mentioned series are definitively in the DCAU, there are several theories which attempt to tie other DC cartoons into the universe. The two series which most notably have this question regarding continuity are as follows:
Krypto the Superdog
Krypto's ties to the DCAU continuity are fairly weak and are tied to the brief appearance of Superman in the series. However, because of conflict with Lex Luthor's place in the universe, it's more likely that, like the various comic books published based on the DCAU, the continuity of Superman/JL was borrowed for Krypto but Krpyto doesn't affect the continuity of the DCAU.
Teen Titans
Teen Titans' continuity is tricky. Although it was stated that Teen Titans is in a separate universe from the other DCAU series by various members of the crew, it was left ambiguous in the series itself.
The most common theory is that Teen Titans is a prequel to Batman: The Animated Series, as Batman takes place during Dick Grayson's college years. They never actually come out and say it, but there are several hints that Robin is, in fact, Dick Grayson. For instance, Robin's extra-dimensional self, Larry, is named Nosyarg Kcid ("Dick Grayson" backwards). His relationship with Starfire is indicative of Dick's comic book relationship and, most notably, he becomes Nightwing in the future. There is nothing in either Teen Titans or the DCAU that particularly wrecks this idea, aside from an offhand comment made by Batman in a Static Shock episode about Robin being "with the Titans." Nightwing has shown up in both The New Batman Adventures and, as a silhouette cameo, in Grudge Match.
In the last season of Teen Titans, Kid Flash (the Wally West version, not the Bart Allen version) appears in two different episodes. The character shares the same voice actor, Michael Rosenbaum, and has a similar character design and manner as the normal Flash who appears in both Superman and Justice League. In the Justice League Unlimited episode Patriot Act, Speedy makes a cameo appearance, also using the same character design and voice actor. Both of these cases support the idea that Teen Titans takes place in the past.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is currently being hospitalized because doctors found a potentially fatal blood clot in her skull. She's being treated with blood thinners and is expected to make a full recovery.
The body has a love-hate relationship with blood clots. They keep you from bleeding too long, but they can be dangerous if they form in the wrong locations. In fact, Clinton was lucky that doctors found her rare clot, also known as a central venous thrombus, as it had the potential of backing up vital blood flow in the brain, like a car accident on the highway blocks traffic. This blocked blood flow could trigger a life-threatening brain hemorrhage or stroke.
A blood clot only needs to travel a short distance to change your life forever. Every year, 60,000 people die from pulmonary embolism, when a blood clot that travels from one's legs, also known as deep vein thrombosis, to the lungs. A blood clot can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke. Sometimes, a deadly clot doesn't have to travel at all. It can clog the long system of pipes that make up your circulatory system – sometimes in deadly locations.
A blood clot, also known as a thrombus, is formed when particles in your blood combine to form a solid piece of matter. A blood clot usually consists of platelets, fibrin and other components. They usually form for your benefit, to stop bleeding after a cut or scrape. However, blood clots can form in situations that don't involve a cut at all. Long periods of inactivity or damage to an arterial wall can also form a clot. An embolus is a traveling, broken-off piece of a thrombus. As it travels, it eventually degrades. However, if it travels through a more narrow passageway, and gets stuck, the consequences can be deadly.
While Clinton's clot threatened her brain, a blood clot can threaten any part of your body: your heart, lungs, digestive system. Hence, it's important for you to inform yourself of this threat and work to lower your risk of dying from this silent killer:
● Stay hydrated, especially when sick: Doctors believe Clinton's blood clot arose because she was severely dehydrated. Don't allow yourself to make that same mistake by drinking at least eight glasses of water or juice per day – especially when you're sick. Your body loses a lot of water through vomiting, sweat or diarrhea while you're sick, and it's up to you to replenish your body's supply.
● Get examined, especially if you injure your head: This applies especially to the elderly, but also to young athletes. Doctors believe the clot arose from a concussion Clinton recently suffered. While Clinton's condition is rare, a more common danger are hemorrhages that arise when blood vessels are inadvertently torn during head trauma or car accidents. See a doctor if you feel worsening headaches, if you're vomiting, if you feel confused or disoriented, or if you lost consciousness right after experiencing trauma to the head. It could save your life.
● Stay active, especially during flights or long drives: A much more common place for blood clots to form is in the legs – and they are just as deadly. That clot, also known as a deep venous thrombus, can travel to your lungs and cause a deadly pulmonary embolism. Try to walk as frequently as possible if you normally sit for long periods of time at work. On long flights or drives, try to move your legs by walking as frequently as possible. You can also wear compression stockings, which reduce your risk of thrombus formation.
● Keep your cholesterol down: Some dangerous blockages in your blood vessels aren't clots, but cholesterol-filled plaques that can increase turbulence, halt the flow of blood, or trigger a blood clot. This is how heart attacks happen – remember Rosie O'Donnell's 90% blockage of an important blood vessel called "the widowmaker"? Knowing your cholesterol levels is vital to your health. Get it checked and if it's too high, work on lowering it by changing your diet, exercising, and possibly taking cholesterol-lowering medication.
