- Talla
"The village of Talla is of Etruscan origins as attested by the discovery, which occurred in 1888, of a well preserved tomb of the 4th century BC. In ancient times, the territory was crossed by the ancient road called ""Abaversa"" that climbed the slopes of the Pratomagno. In medieval times however, the first documented evidence of a castle dates back to 1057.
In 1249 the castle of Talla with his district had passed under the jurisdiction of the Ubertini of Chitignano, where it remained until 1314 when it became part of the possessions of the powerful lineage of the Tarlati: but at the death of Bishop Guido d'Arezzo, came back in the hands of the Ubertini.
The most important monuments are the Church of San Niccolò, the Pieve of Santa Trinità in Alpe and the Church of Madonna del Conforto (known as the Church of Castellaccia).
Below our selection of farmholidays, villas and apartments close to Talla:"

Common Core is a special-interest takeover of education that replaces local control with national standards, treating every child as though they are the same and learn in the same way. These standards affect every school in the nation by allowing big business and bureaucrats into the classroom. The standards established through Common Core fail to account for innovation or critical thinking. Education should be about rewarding excellence and treating children like the unique individuals they are—not a race to mediocrity and commonality.
Whenever you see bad policy in action, chances are there are a lot of powerful interests who stand to benefit from it. This lesson reveals how a large number of groups are financially invested in imposing one set of federal standards on schools across the country. Following the money is key to understanding how and why government conspires with special interests to take over our education system.

The North Fourth Art Center has been fortunate over the years to have enthusiastic supporters who also happen to be government officials, legislators, commissioners and councilors.
What a pleasure it was to have some of the most loyal as our guests Saturday night, June 28th.
For the closing night of Equilibrium Theater and Buen Viaje Dance's season, North Fourth hosted our very own Representatives and Senators, past, present and future, at a reception. Orlie Sedillo and Tasia Young, former and current board members, served as masters of ceremony and we were able to express our thanks to Ed Sandoval (Representative, District 17 until the 2015 session), Debbie Armstrong (new Rep for District 17), Dede Feldman (former Senator District 13) and Bill O'Neill (current Senator District 13). Other friends and supporters present included Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino, former Senator Richard Romero, Representative Rick Miera, former Representative Daniel Silva and Representative Mimi Stewart.
We are very honored that so many of our best and brightest public servants support the programs we offer here at North Fourth. We are all familiar with the general consensus that government is broken—and perhaps share that view from time to time. But, again like so many of us, we love our own legislators. We should—they have been nothing but concerned, involved and respectful of our programs, artists and staff. As importantly, they have participated in and enjoyed what we do here—they truly have fun when they join us for events, programs and parties.
I want to put in my plug here for paying attention to where our legislators—and all of our elected officials—stand on the issues, particularly in our case standing with people with disabilities. Pay attention and VOTE. When you do that it results in government that is responsive to EVERYONE.

The pain – make it stop!
Why You Should Be Coming to Preston
People generally don't come to see us because they're feeling great. So why DO people come to visit us? Pain. Neck pain. Back pain. Accident injuries. Sports injuries. And SO many more reasons that you probably would never even think of!
There are lots of medical ailments that involve the joints in the body can be helped by a chiropractor manipulating the person, mobilizing them or both. Range of motion problems can affect the arms, legs, spine, neck, shoulders, and other areas. This usually means there are several problems with the joints and muscles and ligaments around them. Manipulation is used to provide restoration of movement by mechanically loosening stiff muscles and joints. Joints like this are usually in a locked position or they're joined to another body part. The chiropractor will mobilize the patient by stretching the tissues surrounding the joint in question. However, with spinal joints the chiropractic manipulation can be more effective with pain relief and restoration of normal movement.
Less than 30 minutes from the center of Raleigh, Preston Chiropractic & Acupuncture has assisted the people of the "City of Oaks" for over a decade with their Raleigh chiropractic and Raleigh acupuncture needs.
The How and Why of Chiro Treatments
Often times, the joints of the spinal vertebra get misaligned and affect surrounding nerves and muscles. A chiropractor knows how to eliminate the pain quickly by giving a spinal adjustment or manipulation. Adults and children alike have been successfully treated for conditions involving upper respiratory infections, neck and muscle pain, and even acute earaches. At Preston Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we are family-friendly – so feel free to bring all members of your family for a visit!
Some of the Raleigh Chiropractic services we offer are:
- Raleigh Chiropractic adjustments with a variety of hand on techniques
- Acupuncture for pain relief
- Acupuncture for weight loss
- Physical Therapy Modalities
- Nutritional Counseling
- Allergy testing
- Vitamins by Nutriwest, Standard Process, Apex Energetics and Health and Harmony Homeopathic
These are just a few of the services we offer. For any of your Raleigh chiropractic needs,give our offices a call. We have some of the best chiropractors in Raleigh and surrounding areas. Distance should not be an option when it comes to health. Whether you were involved in an auto accident or are working hard at your cubicle, we are dedicated to help you advance in life with great posture.

My neighbor called the other day to say he had been robbed. Just the thought sent a shudder through me. He told me they had broken into his garage, breaking the door, and into the car, prying open the door and doing so much damage the old car was considered totaled by the insurance company, forcing him to get a new used car. It seems our neighborhood has been the target for thieves as another neighbor said they took the copper from their AC, causing more damage than the copper ws worth.
One of the worst feelings we can experience is being robbed. Someone violates our sacred space, our home, and takes away things that do not belong to them. I have been robbed a number of times of late, and it is a feeling that leaves me looking over my shoulder, and has prompted me to keep a hammer close at hand, in the case I have to confront someone who has broken in. I do not own a gun, and do not want one.
Though I write about murder, I do not want to kill anyone, not even a robber. I may want to rearrange their knee caps and have them think twice about coming back here again, but I don't want to kill them. However, I do want them to hurt for the violation of my space and safety that they breached. I do believe in Karma, even if I don't get to see their payback, I believe it will come their way sooner or later. Karmic payback can he the worst experience!
A sad note to the first robbery I suffered was that my grumpy, drug abusing neighbor sat and watched making no move to call the cops as they hauled off things from the porches. Mostly they got old tools and ladders. The thieves came back a number of times to see if I was stupid enough to replace the items and leave them out in the same places for the burglars to come back and take them again.
When I discovered what had happened, I called the police. I have become good friends with the police recently. The police say they can do little about this sort of crime unless they catch someone in the act. We have a good police presence in the area, and my house is three blocks from the police station, yet, they can not be everywhere at once.
I look for the lesson, and for what I can do with this negative experience to turn it into any sort of positive at all. It is an experience that I do not want repeated; however it can be put to use as I create characters and situations. My sense of loss, violation and a lingering fear that I may not be safe in my own home are frustrating feelings that can help me write a better character, add depth to a scene and dialogue.
These robberies have left more than the invisible, psychological scars. Sadly the damage the thieves leave behind in their wake is a problem that leaves the homeowner having to shell out money to replace and repair what they ruined. As I cry in my beer about my dilemma, I thought some good comfort food would help get through the conflicting emotions firing inside of me as I write this blog. Below is a great recipe for a pizza that will do less damage than the thieves.
1 (8 oz) package of full fat cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
toppings – pepperoni, ham, sausage, mushrooms, peppers
Garlic powder
Preheat oven to 350.
Lightly spay a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. With a handheld mixer, mix cream cheese, eggs, pepper, garlic powder and parmesan cheese until combined. Spread into baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, our until golden brown. Allow crust to cool for 10 minutes.
Spread pizza sauce on crust. Top with cheese and toppings. Sprinkle pizza with garlic powder. Bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.

A prototype of Motorola's Ara modular smartphone is almost ready
Back in October, Motorola announced that it is working on the Phonebloks concept of a modular smartphone called Project Ara. Today, Dennis Woodside, CEO of Motorola confirmed in a Google+ hangout that the prototype of Ara is "pretty close" to being completed and that a final product — while still not due for a long time — could eventually make its way to the Moto Maker.

We are experts when it comes to raccoon removal! We've removed more than 5,000 raccoon over our 15 years in this industry. Raccoons can severely damage structures and if you have them living in your home, it's time to evict these non-paying squatters! Raccoon removal starts with a detailed inspection and consultation. We learn where the entry / exit points are, future "soft" or vulnerable areas are, then come up with a treatment approach that will work to resolve the issue. We can then advise you on further protection of your structure going forward, install vent guards and chimney caps and further reinforce your structure. We can link you with an attic sanitation & restoration team that can repair the damages, clean up the feces and urine (sanitize) and leave your home better than it was before!

Glandular fever which is also known as the kissing disease or 'Mono' to Americans, is one of the hardest viruses for a person to get over. It normally begins as a sore throat or swollen glands in the arm pits and groin. It tends to get worse very quickly forming a high temperature and extreme tiredness.
Some people who suffer with this horrific virus can't even get out of bed or go to the toilet as it takes up too much energy. In addition, sufferers tend to get trapped in a vicious circle, finding it hard to eat because they feel too unwell and not taking in enough food to create energy. Sometimes glandular fever can develop into a more serious illness for example, tonsillitis and even infections of the lymph nodes.
Glandular Fever is caused by the 'Epstein-Bar Virus'. It is spread by saliva and if the person who comes into contact with this virus is resistant then there will be no illness. If the person who comes into contact with the infected saliva is not resistant then they will suffer with the side effects of Glandular Fever. The virus begins by attacking and infecting the cells in the throat which in turn causes the throat to become sore and swollen. People who still have their tonsils will find that the infection does spread and cause tonsillitis. Once the infection is in the throat cells it gets passes onto the white blood cell known as 'B lymphocytes' which are part of the body's immune system. Once the infection has penetrated the B lymphocytes, it then spreads throughout the lymphatic system which consists of the lymph nodes found in the groin and arm pits. Once these become infected with the virus, the side effect of swollen lymph nodes becomes present. In some of the worst cases of Glandular Fever, the infection passes through the lymphatic system and goes to the Spleen which is the organ located in the left upper quadrant of the body. It is an organ which produces anti-bodies which fight infection within the body. If the spleen does become infected it can swell and cause severe pain. This Is quite rare for people who are infected by the virus but can happen.
There is very little a person suffering from this illness can do. As it is a virus, it cannot be treated with antibiotics of other medicines. However, if the infection is bad the doctor can prescribe a short course of steroids to help reduce the inflammation. There is no miracle cure for this unfortunate virus however, preventative measures can be put in place to help protect yourself from catching the virus and passing it on. Things such as; not sharing drinks, not sharing anything that you have put lips round and not sharing anything that has been contaminated with another person or an infected persons saliva. These will all help with preventing you from catching the virus. If you already have the virus then eating well and remaining healthy is the best way for the virus not to rear its ugly head. Once the infected person has had the symptoms then unfortunately it can come back as many times as it wants to. One can never really get rid of the virus just learn to live with it and prevent the symptoms from forming.
It is not a very nice virus to have however, it can be prevented.

Syria: Assyrian villages in Khabour, Syria under ISIS attack
Assyrian Christian villages along the Khabour river in the Hassake region are under heavy attacks of ISIS. Hundred of people left the region and number of women and children have been kidnapped by ISIS. Clashes continue between MFS, YPG against ISIS.
On Monday around 5am ISIS carried out an attack on the Assyrian villages in the Khabour region leaving casualties and another exodus of Christians from the region. ISIS attacks are concentrated in the Khabour villages of Til Hirmis, Til Shamiram, Qabre Shamiye and Til Khebish. Local sources confirm that there are ongoing clashes in all front lines against ISIS. Various reports suggest casualties of civilians and burning of churches.
In a statement Bethnahrin National Council, MUB made an urgent call to the international community to follow the events and make take action urgently. MUB statement indicate, casualties of number of people including women, children and elders.
On the other hand, Syriac Military Council, MFS and other local forces with YPG continue their combats. On their Twitter account MFS declared that « all the MFS forces and YPG are now involved with heavy weapons on the Khabour line against IS. »
In a statement MFS declared that some of the villages are under ISIS control and that ultimate goal is to save people and villages from ISIS.
« Although the resistance against ISIS, 3 villages are now captured by ISIS. After heavy fights and resistance from the MFS three fighters had been injured, and a group of Khabour guards and four fighters of MFS are missing. The fights are still continue. MFS, Sutoro, Khabour guards and YPG have been able to stop ISIS and prevent them from gaining more control. Our goal is to retake all the villages. » MFS stated.
On the other hand, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, SOHR indicated that « Reliable sources reported to SOHR that IS militants kidnapped 56 Assyrian citizens at least in the village of Tal Shamiram located around the town of Tal Tamer in the countryside of al- Hasakah. The sources confirmed that they heard via wireless devices IS members saying that they detained "56 crusaders". Meanwhile, information reported that dozens of Assyrian people were kidnapped from the village of Tal Hermez. »
Also news agencies confirm that 90 Assyrian Christians had been abducted bty ISIS.
Due to the ISIS attacks hundred of families left the region towards Hassake and Qamishlo cities. Sanhareb Barsoum, Human Rights Minister in the Jazeera Canton said that with the local administration, they will assist new refugees and put adequate measures for them.
Assyrian Christians of Khabour region are the survivors of Simele Massacre which took place in Iraq in 1933. There are around 35 villages in this region inhabited by Assyrians. Following the fall of Mosul and later the capture of Nineveh Plain by ISIS, current attacks on the Khabour region is another big casualty for Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian people in Mesopotamia.

According to the commonly accepted timeline for Egyptian chronology, much of the Old Testament was off by several hundred years and seems quite historically impossible. Ditto for the historical records of the Hittites. And the Assyrians. And pretty much everyone else in the region whose records are tied to proper dating of the Egyptian dynasties.
I'm no Egyptianolologist or anything, and granted, most of my Ph.D's are honorary and in fields somewhat distant, but heck, why not just change the damn dynasties around and make it all fit? It's not like it's all written in stone or linked to the stars, right? I'm thinking there's just a little guess-work involved here.
Of course, what I'm about to do here doesn't count for anything more than another hypothetical, and I'm not going to pretend to be the least bit objective about it. However, if the archaeologists would just do their jobs a little better, I'm thinking they could probably sort this out accordingly. How hard can it be, right?
The way they've got it now, they've got Moses hittin' the trail somewhere in the 18th or 19th dynasty or something, with nothing happening because of it. Ten plagues, loss of an army, economic and social collapse — obviously not happening there. The kinds of collapse and ruin we're looking for happens at the end of the 6th and 12th dynasties. So, duh, that's probably when it all went down. And it also helps to line up the numbers so that Joseph drops in on Djoser at the start of the Old Kingdom, since Joseph, whom the Bible says brought peace and wholeness between Israel and Egypt, becomes Djoser's vizier. At peace/wholeness (bashalom / imhotep).
The chart on the left is one possible chronology. There are numerous ways to compile the dynasties to fit what we know about them. The standard chronology lists them successively, even though Egypt was divided into upper and lower geographical zones, and dynasties would have ruled concurrently from these two areas. I think the best discussion I've been able to find on the subject comes from Ken Johnson's Ancient Post-Flood History, which completely contradicts the guesswork of mainstream Egyptologists. A summation of his argument follows hereafter.
If we compare several sources concerning the Dynasties of Egypt's Old Kingdom (such as the Temple of Seti in Abydos, the Turin Papyri, Egyptian historian Manetho, Jewish sources like the Book of Genesis, the Book of Jasher, the Seder Olam, the Talmud, the Mishna, the Codex Judaica, and others) — we can map Dynasties out with considerable detail.
Menes (Mizriam) is credited with founding Memphis, the capital of the First Dynasty, twelve miles south of modern Cairo. Memphis served as the capital of the First, Fourth, and Sixth dynasties. Elephantine, an island in the Nile River on the border of Egypt and Nubia, was the capital of the Second, Third, and Fifth dynasties. There were always two dynasties ruling at the same time. The First, Fourth, and Sixth dynasties were consecutive and ruled from Memphis. The Second, Third, and Fifth dynasties were consecutive and ruled from Elephantine.
Genesis 10:6 details Mizraim, the son of Cham, founded the nation of Egypt. This would make him the first king of the First Dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom, called Menes in the Egyptian records. Both Genesis 10:13 and Jasher 7:11 record Mizraim's son, Anom, succeeded the throne. Jasher 14:2 records that Anom's son, Oswiris, became the third king of the First Dynasty. In time, Anom would be deified and worshiped as the Egyptian god Amon-Ra, and Oswiris, as the god Osiris.
An Assyrian migrated to Egypt and began the Second Dynasty. The Hebrews called his name Rikayn, the Egyptians called him Boethos. There was a great famine during the reign of Uenephes (c. 1925 BCE). This was likely the famine that caused Abraham (who did exist) to migrate to Egypt for three years. Genesis 12 records Abraham moved to Canaan when he was seventy-five years old. Shortly after the move, a severe famine hit Canaan. Abraham went down to Egypt until the famine was over. Looking at Jasher 13.22, 13.5, and 16.22, we have a clear record of Abraham settling in Canaan and the three-year famine occurring during the years around 1900 BCE. This corresponds to an event in the reign of Boethos, when a great chasm opened up at Bubastis and many perished, possibly the cause of the great famine.
In the Third Dynasty, Djoser was the Pharaoh of Joseph's time. According to Manetho, the seven-year famine occurred in the eighteenth year of the reign of Djoser Teti. Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream of seven years of plenty and seven years of famine, and became Viceroy of Egypt. Genesis 41:45 says Pharaoh renamed Joseph "Zaphnath-Paaneah." Manetho records a seven-year famine occurred in the eighteenth year of the reign of Djoser. If this seven-year famine is the same as the one Joseph predicted, then the eighteenth year of Djoser was c. 1690 BCE.
The Viceroy of Djoser, Imhotep, designed the step pyramid at Sakkara. On a rock monument at Sehel, an inscription describes how Pharaoh consulted the wise Imhotep about a seven-year famine. In another inscription near the step pyramid, the builder is referred to as Zanakht – similar to Joseph's Egyptian name Zaphnath-Paaneah as given in Genesis. Both Imhotep and Joseph lived to be one hundred and ten years old. When Imhotep was one hundred years old, his wisdom was tested by new court officials by asking him to create an oasis in the desert, so he engineered a feeder canal from the Nile to his man-made lake. Today in the region of El-Fayoum, southwest of Cairo, remains the man-made fresh water lake called Birqet Qarun, fed by a canal stretching from the Nile to the Basin. The canal is known as Bahr Yousef or the Sea of Joseph. Since this was built during the last ten years of Joseph's life, that could date Birqet Qarun's construction between 1625-1615 BCE.
In the Sixth Dynasty, Pepy II would be the Pharaoh that persecuted the Children of Israel. The empire of his son, Neferkare the younger, was destroyed by Moses. The Sixth Dynasty tried to hold on for almost two years after the Exodus. The Fifth Dynasty (Upper Kingdom) remained intact for almost twenty-four years after the Exodus, as a vassel state, before its final fall. The Pharaoh of the Exodus, Adikam, ruled four years, including three years co-ruling with his sick father. Adikam was a dwarf; the Hebrews called him Adikam Ahuz (Ahuz meaning "short" in Hebrew). Adikam's father, Pharaoh Melol, had leprosy during the last ten years of his life but still ruled a total of ninety-four years. Melol reigned from c. 1572 to 1478 BCE. Joseph reigned from c. 1697 to 1616 BCE. So Melol would be the "Pharaoh who knew not Joseph" who started the heavy persecution of the Israelites. Egyptian records in the Temple of Abydos, the Turin papyrus, and the Egyptian historian Manetho, show that Pharaoh Neferkare Pepi II (also called Phiops II and NetjerKhau) was the longest living Pharaoh in the Old Kingdom, becoming Pharaoh at the age of six and lived to be one hundred years old. His son, Neferkare the Younger, (also called Menthesuphis and Merenre Antiemsaf II) ruled only one year after his father's death. This exactly matches the description in Jasher.
The Leiden Papyrus, also called the Ippuwer Papyrus or "The admonitions of an Egyptian sage," is an account of the plagues that destroyed the Sixth Dynasty. 2:5-6 Plague is everywhere. Blood is everywhere. 7:4 He who poured water on the ground; he has captured the stong man in his misery. 2:10 The river is blood. Men shrink from tasting… and thirst for water. 2:10 Gates, columns and walls are consumed by fire. 6:1-4 No fruit or herbs are found… Grain has perished on every side. 9:2-3 The land is not light… 9:8-10 Destruction… the land is in darkness. 2:13 Men are few. He who places his brother in the ground is everywhere. 4:3 The offspring of nobility are laid out on the high ground. 3:3 Gold, bluestone, silver, malichate, carnelian, bronze… are fastened to the necks of female slaves. 7:1 Behold the fire mounted up on high. Its burning goes forth before the enemies of the land.
Jasher 76 and Josephus Ant. 2.10 describe Moses leading an army against the Ethiopians at Elephantine under King Kikianus. The same year that Moses fled Memphis, King Kikianus defeated the uprising of Aram and the Kedemites. Upon his return, Kikianus discovered that the city of Elephantine had been taken over by Balaam and his sons. Kikianus besieged the city for nine years, then died of a disease in 1530 BCE. Moses delivered the city and ruled it for thirty-nine years. The city was then turned over to Menacrus, the son of King Kikianus in 1491 BCE. Moses was eighteen when he left Egypt. He lived ten years in Kikianus' camp, spent thirty-nine years as the king of Cush (ruling from Elephantine ), then lived thirteen years in Midian, until he led the Exodus at the age of eighty. When Moses killed the Egyptian and fled at age eighteen and became a part of Kikianus' camp, Cush was controlled by Egypt from Memphis. When Moses became strong enough, the southern Fifth Dynasty kingdom seceded from Egypt. All told, Moses spent eighteen years with Egypt and ten in their army, thirty-nine years as their king, and thirteen years in the wilderness. That leads up to his eightieth year, when he led the Exodus out of Egypt, bringing about the end of the Old Kingdom.
And just like that, you get a square peg into a round hole.

As noted here before the US is some way ahead of the UK in the development of esports, although perhaps there is not quite the size of gap as that which exists in more mainstream sports facilities and investment.
I noted here back in 2014 of the launch of some scholarships for League of Legends players in the US and, more recently have posted here on some big UK developments announced including the creation of an official body, National Student Esports, NSE. The NSE is supported by BUCS and is intended to support the development of esports in universities by running the first official university esports championship. Since this previous article there have been some further significant changes in the UK. Whilst I've still not heard of any library spaces being converted for gaming, Staffordshire University now has the UK's first esports degree up and running.
Press start
It covers a wide range of activities:
You will learn within a practical technical environment everything required to host small and large scale events. Developing your skills for single player and multi-player team events you will create business plans to build teams, create online communities and promote your events through digital marketing. You will also get the opportunity to explore the culture of esports, its audience and fan base as well as a variety of the most popular current game genres. As the sector grows, the ethical and legislative regulations are trying to keep pace, you will learn what is happening in the industry right now and how these issues are affecting the esports environment.
- Join one of our competitive societies including games such as: League of Legends, DOTA2, Hearthstone, Counter Strike, Overwatch and Super Smash Bros and compete in events in the UK and overseas.
- Take part in UK and International varsities.
- Visit esports events in the UK
- Study digital marketing and take Google Garage Exams as part of the course.
- Plan, develop and implement an esports event. In the first year the event will be a single player event, in year two this progresses to a team player event and in the third year the event will be a large scale, commercial venue event with team players and a prize fund.
- You will be taught in a dedicated Esports Lab and Pro Gamer training facility with all the latest industry standard software and hardware.
And on successful completion of study graduates receive a BA (Hons) Esports.
Insert coin?
Meanwhile the University of Chichester has also announced an esports degree with a slightly different emphasis:
The programme examines esports from a number of perspectives:
- Competitive game play
- Sports science
- Psychology
- Event production
- Business
Students will get the chance to participate in single and multiplayer games events, both live and online, across a number of titles including Counter Strike, FIFA, League of Legends and Project Cars.
This highly practical course examines, through scientific study, the effects and impact of extensive gaming, both physical and psychological. Student will get a good understanding of events promotion and management as they stage online and live room competitions, and gain an understanding of commercial sponsorship opportunities for this dynamic new area.
We will cover the current issues and trends concerning ethics and codes of conduct, player management and coaching and the impact of immersive gaming experiences of virtual and augmented reality.
For the gamer there is also continual skills development sessions and the study of strategic and tactical thinking to enhance gameplay success.
Chairman of The Campaign for Real Education Chris McGovern said: 'These universities are seducing students into joining their courses as a money-making racket.'They make these courses like computer game studies seem really attractive to young people and then they are leaving with £50,000 worth of debt and are unemployable.Universities are failing in their moral responsibility to students by allowing them to take a course which will be no use whatsoever.'A University of Chichester spokesperson said: 'We are looking to the jobs of the future to support young people and those seeking a change of career.
Levelling up
And from September 2019, the University of Roehampton will be offering the UK's first esports scholarships.
The scholarship, the first of its kind for a UK university, is worth £1,500 a year and will support a student on any undergraduate and postgraduate courses enrolling at Roehampton from Autumn 2019. Up to 15 esports scholarships will be available for students enrolling.
Students applying for the scholarship will need to demonstrate aptitude in the field and in common with other sports scholarships available at the University, successful applicants over the coming years will be required to display their commitment to esports alongside successful academic progression.
Meanwhile, in the US the Chronicle reports that there is something of a race on to recruit gamers for university esports programmes. Whilst some, such as the University of California at Irvine, recruit for their esports teams primarily from among current students, others are out looking for those to join their teams. For example…
In high school, Ryan Nget was already a professional gamer. He spent hours training for his next League of Legends tournament, climbing the rankings, and winning thousands of dollars in prize money. When he started applying to colleges, Nget wanted to keep up his competitive gaming profile while also enjoying college as a normal student. Harrisburg University of Science and Technology gave him that option.
A growing number of colleges like Harrisburg are buying into esports, starting programs and building million-dollar facilities where gamers take on their counterparts on other campuses. And while some observers roll their eyes at the trend — still in its infancy — high-profile esports programs are looking to gain prestige by recruiting gamers like Nget.
"It doesn't matter to me what people think about the sport," he said. "All I know is that I'm getting a full ride to Harrisburg University."
There are now over 120 esports programmes in US universities and the territory is so new and chaotic that some have described it as the Wild West of collegiate sports. Some universities are using recruitment agencies similar to those used to hunt for more traditional athletes and coaches. Others search on "gaming leaderboards, attend high-school tournaments, and hold competitions" in order to entice the gaming talent.
The University of California at Irvine though has a different approach and concentrates on its on-campus talent:
It also scouts high-school students but limits the number of esports recruits to three or four per year said Mark Deppe, the university's esports director. Because Irvine's esports program is housed in the student-affairs department, the program has a focus broader than competition. It also includes game research and career development for participating students.
"Even with the rapid growth of college esports, I sense there may be a bubble forming," he said. "There are a lot of schools looking to generate interest in their university, position themselves as innovators, and win championships. With over 100 schools now investing in esports, … the space is getting more saturated.
Bonus round
The gaming industry is big and growing in the UK and there are also those who argue that there are wider benefits to esports too in terms of the skills acquired by casual as well as serious gamers. A recent Guardian article by Dr Matthew Barr, a lecturer at the University of Glasgow and vice-chair of the British Digital Games Research Association, suggested that a range of core skills were enhanced where students engaged in gaming:
We assigned undergraduate students to one of two groups: one played games together for two hours per week, the other did not. Both groups had to self-report on measures of communication resourcefulness and adaptability.
While the majority of games selected for the study were multiplayer, emphasising teamwork and collaboration, the variety of eight games was intended to exercise participants' adaptability. A game like Papers, Please, for example, requires an entirely different skill set to that demanded by the team-based mayhem of a title such as Team Fortress 2.
After eight weeks, the students in the game-playing group scored significantly higher for communication, resourcefulness and adaptability. Looking at it another way, a significantly greater number of students in the game-playing group increased their scores than in the control group. The game-based intervention worked, for most students.
This suggests that video games may have a role to play in universities, and can offer an engaging and low-cost way of developing graduate skills. If we encourage students to join university sports teams to gain useful experience, then why not include video games in the list of worthwhile extra-curricular activities? Certainly, the possibility is worth exploring.
So it would seem that esports is really taking off and might yet have an ever greater impact on higher education, on both sides of the Atlantic.

The back is the posterior portion of the human body between the neck superiorly and the pelvis inferiorly.
The human back is composed of skin and fascia overlying the vertebral column, scapulae, muscle groups, nerves, and arterial supply. The primary motions of the back are flexion/extension, side bending, and rotation.[1]
The back serves many different functions in the human body. It primarily serves as the primary structural support for the human torso as well as allowing flexibility for movement. Running centrally down the posterior midline is the spinal column. The spinal column is composed of bony vertebra which house and protect the human spinal cord.[2] The column is a continuation of the seven cervical vertebrae in the neck and is composed of twelve thoracic vertebrae, located more superiorly, and five inferior lumbar vertebrae. The column terminates in the sacrum. Ribs articulate with the twelve thoracic vertebrae. Two bony scapulae are situated on either side of the spinal column laterally.[3] They function to provide a bony attachment for several muscles, including the rotator cuff muscles of the upper extremity.[3] In addition to the bones, three groups of muscles comprise the back. The intrinsic muscle group, also known as the deep group, the superficial muscle group, and the intermediate muscle group.[1] These groups serve to allow primary movements in the back, including flexion/extension, rotation, and side bending, movement of the limbs, and assistance in the respiratory effort.[1]
The development of the structures in the back stems from early divisions of several key embryologic structures. In the third week of human development, germ layers form during a process called gastrulation.[4] The three germ layers in human development are the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm.[4] The paraxial mesoderm, which forms the dermis of the skin, also develops the skeletal muscles in the body and the majority of the axial skeleton.[4] The epidermis of the skin in the back derives from the ectoderm.[4] The spinal cord derives from an ectodermal structure called the neural plate.[5][4] The neural plate develops neural folds bilaterally that rise, come together and fuse to form the neural tube.[5] The tube completely fuses and separate from communication with the amniotic cavity by day 27. Failure of this fusion can result in the condition anencephaly.[6]
Blood supply to the skin and muscles in the back is primarily from dorsal branches of the posterior intercostal arteries. These arteries arise from intercostal arteries, or in some variants from the descending aorta directly.[7] The intercostal arteries run in a groove along with the intercostal vein and nerve caudal to the ribs.[8][9] The thoracic aorta runs anteriorly to the vertebral column and slightly lateral on the left side. The azygous and hemiazygous veins may also be present anterior to the spinal cord. The spinal cord itself has several different sources of blood supply, depending on location and embryological development.[2] The anterior spinal artery, the posterior spinal arteries, and the artery of Adamkiewicz are responsible for vascular supply to the spinal cord.[2]
Nervous supply to the back primarily arises from dorsal branches of spinal nerves, also known as rami. The sensory innervation to the back organizes in a dermatomal pattern, which corresponds to a specific spinal nerve at different spinal nerves.[10] In addition to providing sensation the skin of the back, the dorsal rami also serve to innervate the intrinsic muscles of the back.[11] This innervation is in contrast to the extrinsic muscles of the back, which are innervated by ventral rami.[12]
The muscles of the back subdivide into three categories.[1]
The first category is the superficial, or extrinsic, back muscles.[3] These muscles are located posteriorly on the back, but they assist in the movement of the limbs.[3] The superficial muscles include:
The second group of muscles is the intermediate group. These muscles assist in the human respiratory effort and intimately associate with the ribs.[1] This muscle group consists of:
The final group of muscles is known as intrinsic or deep muscles.[1] These muscles are responsible for the motion of the axial skeleton. The main movements are flexion/extension, side bending, and rotation.[1] This group further subdivides into several categories in the back and neck. The main muscle groups in the intrinsic muscle group are the erector spinae group and the transversospinalis group.[1] The erector spinae group, medially to laterally, consists of:
The muscle group is bilateral on either side of the vertebral column and when both sides are engaged function as the primary extensor of the back.[1] Unilaterally they assist with lateral bending and rotation of the spine.[1]
The second component of the intrinsic muscles in the human back is the transversospinalis group.[1] These muscles are deep to the erector spinae group.[1] The transversospinalis group consists, from superficial to deep, of:
Like the erector spinae group, the transversospinalis group is located bilaterally on the vertebral column between the transverse processes and the spinous processes. These muscles assist in bending the back posteriorly when contracted bilaterally.[1] When unilateral contraction occurs, they are responsible for assisting with lateral bending and rotation.[1]
The primary surgical considerations with the back have to deal with the placement of the needle for the administration of spinal anesthesia before surgical procedures. The conus medullaris is the most distal end of the spinal cord and must be avoided. The conus medullaris terminates at the level of L2/L3 in newborns,[13] and is at the L1 level in adults.[14] The surgeon inserts a needle into the dural sac between the L3/L4 levels in adults to avoid the conus medullaris during the administration of anesthesia prior to surgery.[14]
Generalized back pain is a common presenting symptom for patients. The underlying etiology of the pain most commonly traces to a strain of the skeletal muscle. The differential for back pain is vast, and lumbar disc issues, like herniation or rupture, and fractures must merit consideration.[15] Additionally, osteoarthritis and spondylolisthesis, a condition where a vertebra slips anteriorly compared to the others in the column, can both be causes of back pain.[16]
Spina bifida is a congenital condition seen on the back when there is incomplete closure of the vertebral column. There are three different subcategories of the condition.[17]
Spina bifida occulta is the result of the incomplete fusion of the vertebral arch. The patients are usually asymptomatic, and the only clinical index of suspicion may be a small tuft of hair overlying the defect.[17]
Spina bifida cystica with meningocele occurs when the bony vertebral arch fails to form, and there is a herniation of the spinal meninges.[17]
Spina bifida cystica with meningomyelocele is the most severe and involves herniation of the meninges and the spinal cord.[18]

- Posting
- Multiple servers
- Friend management
- Group management
- Calendar (view upcoming birthdays)
- Unicode support (theoretically, I never use it, though, so...)
It does NOT have the following features, yet:
- Post preview
- Spellchecking
- Most configuration options (it has a few)
- Support for proxies
- Complete graphic set (missing a button)
These features are all *relatively* minor, if you don't mind all the defaults that I've setup. :) If you do, poke me until I get the final 2.0 done.
And, in other notes ... I forgot who sent me the graphics I'm now using. Please speak up and name yourself so that I can honor you! Also, it needs another button... one for the Calendar page. It used to say Unknown, so the button still says that.
This version is also 99% translateable. You can make it into other languages. Just check out the en.dat file in the lang directory. You can change the language you use by changing that option in the Preferences dialog. If you translate it into another language, mail me the .dat file and I'll include it in the official 2.0 release when it comes out!
Download link.
Unzip all of these files to a new directory, something like c:\lochjournal, and then you can run the lochjnew.exe program. Please let me know if you have any problems, questions, comments, or suggestions. I'm always open to feedback.
I'll try to get the real 2.0 version released here over this break sometime, but I wanted to get some people testing it so I can get bugs worked out before the real release. Thanks everybody!

Product Overview
Welcome to the Media Lightbox Help Center. Here, you will be able to find a solution if you have a problem or are unsure about a Media Lightbox feature.
The Help Center is divided up into three sections. You are currently viewing the Media Lightbox Product Overview which is a bit like a User Manual. Use the navigation on the left to find out more about the Media Lightbox system.
The other two sections are Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) and a Solutions section, which informs you how Media Lightbox can benefit specific business requirements.
Need help getting started with Media Lightbox? View our Quick Start Guide below, which provides a brief overview on the main Media Lightbox features.
Quick Start Guide
It's easy to get started with Media Lightbox and you can be sharing files within minutes. This Quick Start Guide will show you how to create folders, uplade files, add contacts and share files in 4 easy steps.
1) Creating a New Folder
To create a new folder, click on the "+" symbol beside the Folders tab. This will bring up the Create Folder pop-up, which allows you to enter the name of the new folder. To finalise the new folder, click Add Folder on the pop-up. If you click the "X" symbol on the pop-up, this will negate the creation of a new folder.
You can also create a new folder by clicking on the "Add Folder" button in the top-right hand corner of the screen, when in the folders section. This will automatically create a folder, which will then enable you to name the folder. If you click away from the folder without naming it, it will automatically use the default name.
2) Uploading Files to a Folder
You can access the Upload section, by clicking on Upload Files in the top-right hand of the screen in the Folders section, or by clicking on the Upload tab on the navigation menu. Here you will have the option of downloading the Media Lightbox Desktop Application to upload files, or directly uploading them to a folder of your choice. If you decide to do this directly, then you click on the folder you wish to upload to, causing the Upload Files pop-up to appear. You can click on the Select Files button, to explore your computer for files to upload. Once you have found the files, highlight them and click Open. You can also drag and drop files from your computer directly into the pop-up to upload them.
While a file is uploading, you can cancel the upload by clicking the "X" symbol. A prompt will be displayed when the file has finished uploading.
3) Adding a New User
To add a new contact, click on the Contacts tab on the navigation menu. Next, click on the Add Contacts button in the bottom-left hand corner of the screen. This will take you to the Add a Contact screen, where you can add the contacts First Name, Last Name, Email Address and Company Name. The user level of the Contact can be selected by clicking on the User Level drop-down list.
You can also upload contacts from your email package by clicking on the Choose File button, selecting the appropriate file and clicking the Upload File Button.
Furthermore, you can use the Import Online Contacts Menu on the right hand side to retrieve contacts from your Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Skype accounts, by clicking on the Import Contacts button for the relevant client. You can also add a photo for a contact by clicking the Change Picture button; clicking on Choose File and selecting a picture file to upload.
4) Sending Files
Files can be sent individually or as a group of files. To send a file highlight it by clicking on, or highlight a number of files to send by clicking and dragging to cover all the files you want send. Next, click on the Actions menu in the top-right hand corner, and click Send.
You will now be presented with a number of fields to fill in, including the email address of the recipient(s), the subject of the message and the message you wish to send. You can remove any files from being sent by clicking the "X" symbol next to the file.
You can add contacts to the recipients by clicking the Contacts button, ticking the tick-box next to the required contacts name and clicking the Add Selected button. You can also add groups to the recipients, by clicking on the Groups button, ticking the tick-box next to the required group's name and clicking the Add Selected button.
You can edit a group's members by clicking the Members hyperlink next to the group's name or can delete a group by clicking the Delete hyperlink.
Finally, to send the files, you click the Send Email button.

rosam wrote:I am using Oracle Report Builder extension. I would rather not download the sample database, as I don't think it would help me. I just need to know if there is a way to put the report header and footer in the right place.
I can't understand why I am the only one with this issue. How does everyone else include both page and report headers and footers in a report and have them come up in the proper place in the report, i.e. first report header, then page header, and first page footer then report footer?
a) in the creation of reports of other generators (ms-access for example) the header of the report is always shown before the page, is a matter of hierarchy.
In AOO and LO it seems that it is a concept inherited from an (excessive?) use of the writer formats for this task, which has forced to include the option 'except on the first page' for page headers.
b) the use of the page header for column titles in a columnar report is always the most preferable.
c) I had already tested the Noctom indications, but in my case with LO 126.96.36.199 it continues to do the page break after the report header. Could it be a bug?

So my Mum passed 16 months ago at 94. She still had her mind 100% and physically was pretty good. Fell down the basement stairs. She was an outstanding genealogist and left many albums, books, and researches. I've asked here before about how to post this stuff on a website forever, but I reluctantly agree it is not possible. 2nd choice is to reduce all this stuff to files and put on as many usb drives as possible. But 1st, I have to figure out how to scan all this stuff...a thousand plus pics and tens of documents. And how to do it efficiently. I don't say $ is NOT an issue, but I have a cooperative bro who will help fund this. I am only used to, now, using a plate glass 8.5 X 14 scanner. There is no way this would be sufficient. TIA...Randy
Why USB drives? Wouldn't an external HD be better (with another as backup)?
Thanks Paul. Ya, for more permanent storage, yes,. but I'm also looking to disseminate many copies....
It sounds as if, for quality of result, and faster scanning, you need something like an Epson FastFoto FF-640 High-Speed Photo Scanning - https://www.amazon.com/Epson-FF-640-High-Speed-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B01HR89FNK/ref=sr_1_5/141-8433220-8137806?ie=UTF8&qid=1526946559&sr=8-5&keywords=autofeed+scannerI don't know anything about this device, but found your question interesting, so I searched Amazon.com to see what might be available.There appear to be less expensive options but they likely would have trade offs for costing less.And, I can imagine there are much more expensive machines available.Jim.
Thanks, Jim. mmm...reveals another question...do I want to auto-feed old, brittle, precious to me photos, vs....putting each on glass one at a time...mmmm...
Alternatively, something like this might be easier, cheaper, and faster if you could determine how reliable the company is: https://vistapixmedia.com/photo-scanning/I know nothing about this company or any other similar scanning company - so a lot of research should be in order before entrusting anyone with the photos.Jim.
I'm in a similar situation. My wife's grandmother passed away almost four weeks ago. I had offered to scan her photos, like I did for my grandmother. Instead of one album and assorted loose photos, though, I have three big BOXES full of albums and another with a lot of loose photos.My plan is to do this in stages. I'll take the oldest photos first (e.g. her wedding photos) and scan those. Then, I'll move onto the more recent ones (e.g. photos from the 70's/80's). Finally, I'll get to the most recent ones.As I scan them, I'll put them in an area (to be determined) where family members can download them. (Likely something password protected and share the password among the family.) If I can, I might also set up a WordPress site where people can mark up photos - listing who is actually in the photos.This isn't going to be a quick thing to do, but it'll definitely be worthwhile.
Thanks for sharing. Jason, what is you method of scanning, and equipment? Randy
Just a normal flatbed scanner. The last time I did this, I had software that could scan multiple photos and save them into separate files. I'll re-locate that software (or something like it) and use that so I'm not limited to one at a time.
Apparently I havn't asked this here. I DID ask, personally, among people I know who are familiar with the web. The question was, how can I store these photos on the web in perpetuity? Answer I got back was "not". Because I would have to guarantee that the website was owned and maintained in perpetuity and nothing could change. So Jason, how would YOU store these photos so others could see them? And for how long?
The easiest way would be to put them into a Google Photos photo album and then share it out with as many people as you like.I'll likely use my Virtual Private Server to upload them to a password protected WordPress site, give family members access to it, and have them able to comment. I'll also provide an all-in-one download link to get all of the photos (or album by album downloads as I scan them in).
Thanks to all who replied. I finally got around to doing what I should have done some time ago....reading all things on the net about scanning photos. Especially negative reviews of self-feeding, "fast" photo scanners. Especially by Epson, but also others. And especially the Epson FF-640, their current model. The 'fail' rate for this unit may be as high as 10% of users. Another option is a more conventional flatbed targeted to photoscanning. Higher success rate, but slower. All the commercial services have their own drawbacks and oddities. mmmm what to do. Don't know, but gotta do something!
I have been using VueScan for years. https://www.hamrick.com/You can scan multiple pictures at once. All the options you need are in this program. Much better than the programs packaged with a scanner.I use VueScan for my flatbed and my Nikon slide scanner. You can download and try before you buy. It puts a watermark on the scans until you buy the program. And supports hundreds of different scanners.

text: The Formula 1 season heads to the Circuit de Catalunya, Spain this weekend. The Circuit de catalunya was built in 1991 and began hosting the Spanish Grand Prix the same year. The circuit runs for a total of 2.875 miles and lasts for 66 laps.\r\n\r\nThe Circuit de Catalunya is host to the majority of pre-season testing, this has led to criticism that the drivers and mechanics are too familiar with the circuit, reducing the amount of on-track action. Hopefully the introduction of increased tyre wear, the KERS system and the DRS system, this years race should be more exciting.\r\n\r\nLast years Spanish Grand Prix was won by Red Bull racing driver Mark Webber who qualified on pole position and led every lap of the race. Lewis Hamilton set the fastest lap of the race, with a time of 1:24.357 on lap 59. Fernando Alonso finished second, with Sebastian Vettel finishing third, after suffering from brake problems. The were seven retirements from the race including Lewis Hamilton who was in second until a wheel rim failure on the penultimate lap at turn 3 caused him to lose control and crash into the the circuit wall.\r\n\r\nTo see a lap of the Circuit de Catalunya, click the video on the right and watch Red Bull driver Mark Webber complete a lap in a Red Bull Racing simulator.

An Overview of Litigation Landscape as Several Cases Advance in Court
- November 3, 2017
The wheels of justice turn slowly but recent turns have advanced the cause of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders. In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court could decide by the end of the year to take up a cert petition to review challenges to the Net Worth Sweep.
In an Investors Unite teleconference Wednesday, David H. Thompson, a managing partner at Cooper and Kirk, shared his observations following oral arguments he presented in Chicago on Tuesday in Roberts vs. FHFA. He also offered thoughts on the latest development in the pursuit of documents the government has tried to keep locked away and other cases working their way through state and federal courts in various states.
Thompson, who is also representing investors with Fairholme Funds in their challenge of the Sweep, said the recent decision by U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Margaret Sweeney to allow plaintiff attorneys to access in a "quick peek" process some 9,000 documents still under protective order should also help shareholders. Documents that have been made public to date have revealed government officials proudly devising ways to strip Fannie and Freddie of revenues. Thompson noted that in protracted efforts to access information, the last documents to come to light are often those that contain the most useful information.
Meanwhile, in Minnesota, a ruling is likely later this year in a suit in which a group of investors contend the structure of FHFA is unconstitutional. In addition, Perry Capital has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the issue of whether FHFA and Treasury exceeded their authority in the Net Worth Sweep. Briefs are due by the second half of December and the high court should announce by mid-January whether it will make consider the request. "If so, buckle up your seatbelts," Thompson said.
