(Turn and face the strange)
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
(Turn and face the strange)
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time"
Changes – David Bowie
There is nothing permanent except change said Heraclitus. This certainly applies to my entire professional life, from its beginning to now. My tenure as a Venture Partner with Santander InnoVentures for the last two years has come to an end. I have a new project that is about to move forward after a year of preparation that now requires 100 pct of my time. I will be updating everyone in detail on this effort in a new post very shortly.
This transition would not be complete without a mention and warm thanks to the individuals that allowed me to work with Santander InnoVentures and interact with various parts of the bank. Throughout all these interactions at Santander, I met outstanding individuals at the top of their game and knowledge in one specific subject matter or another. I met creative people hard at work transforming the group as well as old school bankers struggling with what banking means in this new digital world we live in. I met executives whose understanding of core banking systems would put to shame any thought leader in the field and risk/compliance managers acutely aware of the limitations of fintech in its limited "go-alone" direct to consumer approach. It was fascinating, exhilarating, and unique all at the same time.
Specifically, thank you to Mariano Belinky who took the risk of working with me in the first place and allowed me to help the team in every way I could. Without him InnoVentures would not be the success it currently is – he is a force of nature and a dear friend. Thank you to Manuel Silva, who took over from Mariano as the head of InnoVentures, for allowing me to interact with the entire team and share investment thoughts almost on a daily basis. Manuel is one of the best fintech investors I know, with a sharp and subtle mind. He is also a great operator.
In no particular order, I also have to mention Victor Matarranz, a formidable head of strategy for Santander and now head of private banking and asset management, Sigga Sigurdardottir and Ed Metzger both from Santander UK, John Whelan who came in to lead blockchain innovation and now leads digital investment banking initiatives in Madrid, Julio Faura who is one of the most impressive experts on core banking systems and all things bank tech, Cristina San Jose the Chief Data Strategist of the group who taught me so much about data science,Rafael Esteban and Jean Laurent Pelissier with whom I interacted at InnoVentures, as well as Peter Jackson the former group head of innovation for Santander, and Michael Hvidsten (and his entire executive team) the CEO of Santander Consumer Finance Nordics. Finally, Stephanie Lee on the comms team in the UK and now in Madrid was an excellent help every time we interacted.
I know I am forgetting a ton of people from the entire Santander group, whether at headquarters or in country, and for that I apologize.
I wish Manuel and his team at InnoVentures the best of luck in the immediate future and with the new group innovation leadership and direction. It goes without saying I have extended my help going forward and that we will stay in close touch, share ideas and who knows, co-invest together in the future. I trust they will take me up on my offer.
As for the new project I am working on, I will update you in due time and in detail.

I read with admiration an article published in your prestigious journal on the rare adverse effects of clozapine (CLZ).1
I write to address a specific issue in this article. In the second paragraph of the section "Dermatological adverse effects", it was stated that a 54-year-old patient with schizophrenia treated for 28 days with CLZ developed a generalized rash compatible with pityriasis rosea (skin rash that usually begins as one large circular or oval spot on your chest, abdomen, or back).
I wish to point out certain problems for coining pityriasis rosea (PR) as the diagnostic label in the patient concerned.

Indeed, Moreno-Bunge is part of a new wave of designers — among them the Berlin-based studio Mary Lennox and the New York-based Joshua Werber — for whom the term florist seems too narrow a definition; they're artists who not only confirm the obvious appeal of blooms but also reveal the magnificence of their landscapes' less flamboyant elements: leaves, vegetables, seedpods, weeds and humble grasses.The florist creates a wild, sculptural arrangement of plants including golden rain tree, oats, artichoke flowers and green persimmons.CreditCredit...Scott J.

Moda Operandi Co-Founder Lauren Santo Domingo and Lewis Miller, florist extraordinaire and the man behind the exuberant flower arrangements that have shown up around New York City, bursting out of trash cans and perched next to subway entrances. Each box—there are two you can choose from, Country Wildflower, or Beach Bloom—contains enough blooms for several generous arrangements. They're also accompanied by a series of breezy instructional videos starring Miller himself, explaining how to trim, hydrate, and arrange your flowers.The gift here is not just the gorgeous blossoms but the chance to spend an hour arranging them. My box arrived, neatly packed with 15 creamy white peonies, 10 stems of upright bouvardia, 10 stems of soulful, green helleborus, and 20 stems of cheerful white spray roses. I arrayed my collection of vases, pulled out my clippers, and for a brief moment in time I thought about nothing more than color, proportion, and the balance of green and white. It was a tonic. Here's a sampling of my handiwork: Elizabeth Angell(My only complaint is that I do not own a lazy susan for properly positioning my vase as I work to fill it.

Abloom into the paradise it was meant to be," Milano says. Milano's journey to becoming a farmer started in 1972, when Milano — who was 22 at the time — chose to leave his home in Long Island, New York, to travel the world in a search for a deeper understanding of the world around him. "I was two weeks away from becoming a high school biology teacher, and something told me not to get plugged into the system, so to speak, because I was really concerned about the world and all this racial disharmony and the destruction of the environment," Milano says. "So, I got a 10-speed bike. I sold my car. I was a taxidermist and had collections of all kinds of animals, and I just gave up everything and I went cross country from Long Island to San Diego." He went from Hawaii to Japan to Iran to France, learning about different religions and ways of life during his journey. He became connected to the Hare Krishna movement, a branch of Hinduism, while hitchhiking, and he saw Eastern religions and the lifestyle as something he wanted to bring back to the U.S. when he returned in 1987. He found his way to Detroit, initially to do food distribution, he says. "In Hare Krishna, food is sacred, it's sanctified. It purifies people's consciousness, I was really behind that. I thought, what better city than Detroit could really use some help, especially in 1987." He was drawn to the city's spirit and resilience, and he knew he wanted to be a part of its revival, "but from a spiritual perspective." From there, Milano got involved with and started up projects relating to food distribution. When he was traveling, he volunteered often with food distribution projects through the Hare Krishna temple, and wanted to bring that to Detroit. He took up farming, originally focused on edible crops, and started up the Jefferson Chalmers Community Food System on city-owned land. There, he grew edible crops for the neighborhood and for restaurants to promote a local diet and eliminate waste, as well as employed people in the area. "I realized that, God, all this vacant land in Detroit can be such a tremendous asset, not a liability," Milano says. "In neighborhoods, we would clean up lots, and have people take care of those lots, but then I realized why not go a little further and actually turn the lots into beautiful landscapes and productive landscapes that create jobs." After six years, Milano was able to b... https://www.modeldmedia.com/features/detroit-abloom-flourishes.aspx

I now write on law and regulation facing the pensions sector for Professional Pensions and this portfolio will no longer be updated. Please read all my new articles on the Professional Pensions website.
New Islamophobic graffiti has been discovered on campus. The graffiti was found on the Guild building and by the sports pitches.
The graffiti by the sports pitches reads 'Kill Islam before it kills you'. This is exactly the same wording as one of the incidents in January, which was condemned by the NUS National Executive Council in the same month.
Some have taken to social media to express their feelings on the matter. Discussion on the anonymous chat app Ekho has led to heated debate over the motivation behind today's incidents.
Shahin Ashraf, Muslim Chaplain at the University, told Redbrick, 'There is no place for any kind of hatred within campus and off campus too.' She called the incidents, 'terrible' and urges any students who have been upset by the offensive material to see someone at the Chaplaincy for support.
Ashraf is calling for security to be 'stepped up on campus in light of this graffiti.'
Katie Webb, Anti-Racism, Anti-Facism Officer-Elect told Redbrick, 'This act of islamophobia is completely unacceptable and something we must stand against as a university and as a student body.' Katie called the graffiti a 'vile act' and added said she is 'saddened by the intolerant and cowardly behaviour'. She added that 'no student should feel scared due to their race, creed or religion'.
The graffiti has been cleaned away now, and the atmosphere on campus is calm as many students did not see the messages.
Update 16/03/15 9.55am: The West Midlands Police told Redbrick, 'A member of university security staff alerted police to racist graffiti on campus at 7.20am this morning (March 14) – this has been classed as a criminal damage hate crime and an investigation is underway to try and find those responsible.'
Update 17/03/15 11.12am: The University told Redbrick, 'We unreservedly condemn the racist graffiti on campus. We are determined to find those responsible and have reported it to West Midlands Police and are working with them to identify those involved.
'Our University is a community of 150 nations and we are proud to be situated in a vibrant multi-cultural City. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. We are therefore actively working with a range of groups to bring people together and ensure that our University is a place where diversity is celebrated and everyone plays their part in creating a vibrant and welcoming community.'

Demographics, Politics & Society
By Shelby Chapman
During the 1840's a wide variety of individuals explored the Umpqua Valley. One of them was a man named Aaron Rose, who claimed land at the modern site of Roseburg Oregon (1). Rose and his family owned a tavern, which quickly became a destination for other settlers to call home. Originally, the town was named "Deer Creek" for its close proximity to Deer Creek, but quickly became Roseburg with the addition of a post office, and schools (1). Political structure was quickly built, with courthouses and government buildings erected in 1855, 1870, 1891(2).
The Douglas County Commission's first meeting was held on April 4, 1853, at Winchester, attended by three elected commissioners and a sheriff (2). By 1855 Deer Creek was renamed Roseburg and maintained a county court form of government (2). 1872 heralded the first train to travel on the Oregon-California railroad, bringing with it the transfer of ideas, goods, and culture from across the west coast (1).
By the late 1890's and early 1900's Roseburg was a lively town with many flourishing businesses, social groups, and clubs. The town grew slowly, from 3,500 people in 1909 to 5,300 people in 1910 (3). Despite its expansion, the vast majority of the town was of white race. Between 1900 and 1930 the percent of the black population in Oregon fluctuated between .3 and .2 percent of the population (3). in 1850, 9 black individuals resided in Douglas County, but by 1930 that demographic had dropped to 4 individuals(4).
Families in Roseburg appear to be of consistently middle and working class during this period. Roseburg's fertile valley farmlands were perfect for raising crops, and the town soon became majorly successful in the realm of prune and strawberry production and packing (3). Additionally, small western towns like Roseburg had plenty of room for new businesses, with theatres, real estate agencies, laundry services, grocery stores and more popping up, disappearing, and being replaced quickly (2).
Research shows that there was strong investment in religion by Roseburg society, Catholic and Christian faiths dominated. Churches stood as a cultural center, and annual festivals and parades unified the city. As of 1919, Roseburg had maintained a seven day Chautauqua for several years-similar to Vaudeville in style and tone, but differing in its sense of morality and educational intent (2)
[Roseburg, Late 1800's, Photo Courtesy of OldOregonPhotos.com]
Similarly, despite the investment in work, religion, and cultural events, many Roseburg citizens founded social clubs. From 1880-1930, it seems that women had consistent opportunities to work as well as organize. In 1895 Mrs. George Child founded the Roseburg Women's Club, originally named '95 Mental Culture Club (1). The group became a major force in the community, leading to the success of many efforts and services including the Douglas County Library (1). Various other clubs and groups around this time include The Woodmen of the World, First Knights of Pythias Drum and Bugle Corps, the Gay Blades, as well as the Boy Scouts of America (1).
While many of these organizations provided an outlet for leisure and relaxation, other's represent a more sinister history. The Ku Klux Klan was fairly active in Roseburg throughout this time period. Advertisements for lectures and gatherings of the Ku Klux Klan appeared frequently in The Roseburg Review as well as other newspapers (5). This may have been influenced by various media, notably the frequency of The Birth of a Nation (1915) being shown in the town's theaters (6). This is prominently seen in the Antlers Theatre of Roseburg. This likely impacted the population of the county's people of color, as referenced earlier in this piece (3).

Economics & Infrastructure
By Megan Snyder
In the early 1870s trains were established through Oregon down to California. The locomotives ran on the burning of wood. A trail leading directly to Portland from Roseburg brought a large economic growth to the city. Their success slightly decreased when an extension was added between Roseburg and Ashland. Roseburg was on the only through railroad route between Oregon and California the town set up shops and roundhouses (City of Roseburg). This increased jobs and the economy of the city.
Gold mines and mining of other minerals increased income for citizens and business. Cinnabar mines allowed for mining of mercury, silver and copper in 1890s. An effort was made to acquire nickel from the mine in southern Roseburg. They were successful with mining the nickel so the Hanna Company was established. This company was the only mining company that solely produced nickel in the United States (City of Roseburg). Roseburg was the most successful city to make wool. Their primary wool mill was destroyed due to a flood but they still lead the state in production of sheep. A few other industries such as brickyard, breweries, canning plants, woodworking, furniture making and electronics have had increases and decreases in profit over time.
The location of Roseburg allowed them to flourish off the forests and the ability to harvest timber. Pioneers cut lumber for construction and distributed first by boat out of the Umpqua then by train. The lumber mills started with a total of thirty-seven in the county during late 1930s then increased to two hundred and seventy-eight ten years later. Roseburg was known for their sawmills, which gave the town the nickname of "Timber Capitol of the Nation"(City of Roseburg). Today, there is an Economic Development Commission that meets every month to engage with the public about upgrading neighborhoods/attractions and retention of businesses.

Arts & Culture
By Hayden Garratt
Roseburg is a very prospering city that helped move Oregon forward in its early years. Many settlers came to Roseburg for the chance for a full and rich life, and they were not wrong in doing so. Even though many came specifically for the gold craze in the late 1800s, what really made settlers in Roseburg rich was the abundant amount of lumber around the city. Roseburg earned the title "Timber Capitol of the Nation" in the early 1900s for its richness in "green gold" ("City of Roseburg").
There was a significant amount of Chinese population with a peak of 183 people in 1890 but the population went down to 26 Chinese in 1900 (Steinmetz). In 1924 the population came down to only 6 remaining Chinese after the passing of the AntiOriental Immigration Act (Steinmetz). The black population also diminished due to the high status of Ku Klux Klan members in the Roseburg area during the early 1900s. It was a hard time to be any person of color in Roseburg during this time. On April 1, 1922, The Face at Your Window, a very racially controversial KKK propaganda film, made its way into Roseburg (Steinmetz). An article about this event states that, "After the screening, a white mob formed outside the theater circulating the rumor that a local black man, Sam Jackson, had insulted white women while drunk. The mob marched through Roseburg looking for Jackson but could not locate him" (Steinmetz). The film was then used in recruitment drives for Klan organizers all around the area (Steinmetz).
In Roseburg, the main threat the people faced was the possibility of a fire. Fires happened much more frequently in the early 1900s due to the use of industrial machinery that were not fully perfected ("City of Roseburg"). It was a risk that Roseburg settlers had to deal with because most of the cities revenue came from lumber and logging mills made around the area.

Key Events
by Megan Deck
Between 1905 and 1930, Roseburg expanded and many new buildings were established. The city of Roseburg was settled by Aaron Rose in 1851 (1). In 1904, Roseburg High School, the first high school in the city, was built between Hamilton and Jackson Streets and was named after Rose (1). Roseburg's first hospital, Mercy Hospital, was built in 1905 (1). The facility was several stories tall and included the most modern equipment available. The Sisters of Mercy (a religious institute of Catholic women) operated the hospital, which contained thirty beds. Later, in 1911, a fire damaged the upper floor of the building; some improvements were added during the remodel.
Notably, a couple of buildings downtown were privately owned, but leased to commercial businesses. The new Masonic Hall was erected in 1909 to replace the former one that burned down in 1901 (1). Apparently, the lodge only used the top three floors and rented out the first floor to other businesses. Located on the northeast corner of Jackson and Cass Streets, the building would have been valuable real estate for a theater. Similarly, in 1911, the Palace Theater was established in the first floor of the "Sol Marks" building, which was located on the corner of Jackson and Washington Streets and was nicknamed after the owner (1). In the remodel, 500 seats and a "classic front" with a stage, balcony, and organ were built for the theater. In 1916, the Antlers Theatre paid for a full page in the Roseburg Review to advertise The Birth of a Nation, D.W. Griffith's controversial, pro-white supremacy Civil War-era drama. A tagline of the advertisement reads, "Never before has this city been privileged to witness a photoplay of this magnitude," which emphasizes the film's popularity (2).
One of Roseburg's main early exports was produce, especially prunes. In 1921, Clarence E. Moyer, a nationally recognized nurseryman, moved to town (1). He eventually developed the Moyer prune, which became the best selling variety in America. Bert Kruse and his family were prominent farmers in Roseburg, but it wasn't until 1923 that Kruse purchased fifteen acres of land to expand his business (1). He "cleared [the land] by hand," and Kruse Farms has been Roseburg's main supplier of fresh produce ever since (1). Finally, after losing the first two courthouses to a fire and a buyout, the Douglas County Courthouse, built in 1929, has remained standing in the downtown area. It housed the school superintendent, the county court, the district attorney's justice court, and much more (1).

A look at some of the most notable movers in the TRC Global Rankings after last week's action, which involved 41 Group or Graded races, including 15 Group or Grade 1s.
Beauty stars as Irad climbs into the top 20
Irad Ortiz Jr (+6pts, #19 from #21) was the most successful jockey of the week, winning four ranking races at Belmont Park, notably the G1 Just A Game Stakes on the former German-trained 5-year-old mare A Raving Beauty. Three of Ortiz's wins came on turf.
Also in the U.S., there were riding doubles for Flavien Prat (+3pts, #17 from #18), Javier Castellano (+1pt, stays #7) and Joel Rosario (+5pts, #13 from 17).
Deep Impact maintains the momentum
At the top of the classification for sires, Galileo, Dubawi and Scat Daddy each had a single scorer (admittedly Scat Daddy's did win the Triple Crown in the process), but the great Deep Impact (+1pt, stays #3) had two - following up his Derby victories in Japan and France over the past fortnight.
Japan's #1 was responsible for a pair of G3 strikes on Sunday: the Mermaid Stakes at Hanshin with Andriette and the Epsom Cup at Tokyo with Satono Arthur.
Star stallion of the week
This was undoubtedly Quality Road (+8pts, #13 from #21) who stands at Lane's End Farm in Kentucky. Three wins went his way, notably G1 scores with Abel Tasman in the Ogden Phipps at Belmont and Spring Quality in the Manhattan Stakes there. His ranking is a high water mark.
What a loss!
Poet's Voice (+10pts, #25 from #46) is sadly no longer with us. But glasses might have been raised to the former Godolphin stallion in Milan this week, following a double at San Siro. G2 Italian Oaks winner Sand Zabeel was the feature scorer. For the record, Poet's Voice, a son of Dubawi who died in March aged just 11, has entered the top 25 for the first time.
Shades of Scat Daddy
It may be useful to keep an eye on Coolmore U.S. stallion Shanghai Bobby. The 2012 Todd Pletcher-trained champion U.S. juvenile is a new entry at #186 in the sires' category after his first two wins, Grade 1s at Gavea, Brazil.
Could there be a parallel with Scat Daddy here? The world #5 was also trained by Pletcher and also developed momentum as a sire in South America, in his case Chile.
Career high for Derby winner Clark
Australian jockey Tim Clark had a week to remember, winning the G1 Queensland Derby and the G2 Brisbane Cup, both at Doomben. He gains 5pts and rises four places to #42. The 31-year-old has reached a career-high ranking.
Waller closes on Weir
The battle for Australia's #1 trainer ranking continues. This time it was former word #1 Chris Waller (+4pts, stays #7) who struck, closing the gap on Darren Weir (-2pts, #5 from #3) by 6pts to 20pts with a Group-race treble at Doomben, including the G1 J. J. Atkins Plate on The Autumn Sun. Three different jockeys were involved in Waller's haul.
Another big leap for Alduino
Alduino Botti (+15pts, #92 from #158) continued his fine run in Italy. Following a training double on May 20, he was at it again, winning a pair of G3s on Sunday's card at San Siro. Botti, 69, has been champion trainer in Italy (with his elder brother, Giuseppe) more than 30 times, but much of his success came before TRC Global Rankings began tracking results in 2014.

My Computer Blue Screens When I Put in an SD Card
The blue screen error is a difficult error to troubleshoot as it can be caused by numerous different things. If your computer consistently crashes with a blue screen when an SD card is inserted, it could be a fault with either the card or card reader. A conflicting device driver may also cause erratic behavior with card readers.
The Card Reader May Be Faulty
If possible, substitute the card reader with a different one, and monitor whether or not the problem persists. A faulty card reader can cause system instability and even blue screen errors. To ensure that it is not the USB port that is faulty, move the card reader to a different port and monitor the results. If your reader is built-in, try using an external one instead.
The Drivers May Be Corrupt
Windows should automatically install the device drivers for the card reader when it is first used. If the device drivers for the card reader have been corrupted by a virus or malware, it could also cause erratic performance and crashes. If you have an older device that has its own drivers, check online if updated drivers are available.
The SD Card May Be Damaged or Infected
If the problem occurs only with a particular SD card, it may be damaged or infected with malware. Use a different SD card to see if the blue screen error is isolated only to a particular card. Disable AutoPlay for removable drives from the Windows Control panel, and then run a full virus and malware scan on the SD card.

|Customer Service Training
Page 1 of 33This report outlines the best practice research undertaken by BPIR.com in the area of customer service training. The best practices have been compiled under seven main headings. This layout is designed to enable you to scan subjects that are of interest to you and your organisation, quickly assess their importance, and download relevant information for further study or to share with your colleagues.
In This Report
The DefinitionCustomer service is what companies give to their customers before, during, and after the purchase of goods and/or services. There are essentially two types of training in the provision of customer service. The first refers to developing traits or characteristics such as professionalism, politeness, promptness, personalisation, enthusiasm or friendliness. The second refers to developing technical knowledge or know-how, depending on the products or services offered. To be a good customer service agent, you need to have the characteristics and the technical ability to solve problems and enhance the customer experience.
The StageCustomers are the reason businesses exist and flourish. It is therefore essential for businesses to value their customers and to understand and act upon their needs. Failing to do so may well lead to them losing customers to the competition and, ultimately, put the survival of the company at risk. In the public sector, poor customer service can result in complaints and, in extreme cases, law suits. These can have serious consequences: not only wasting taxpayers' money, but giving a poor image of the government both at home and internationally. Developing a service-orientated culture not only helps prevent these serious consequences, it sustains and grows a business. Research clearly shows the strong positive correlation between customer service and bottom-line profits. That is why the most successful organisations are the ones who train their employees well. This ultimately means they have the most satisfied customers.

Not so long ago Apple released the new generation of MacBook Pro. Laptops got, perhaps, the most significant upgrade in the history of this series. And it is not only significantly updated the design (for that brand laptopow Apple is a rarity), a whole new set of connectors and, of course, improved performance, but above all, the emergence of innovative control: touch panel with Touch Bar fingerprint scanner Touch ID.
Apple is traditionally very conservative in the segment of laptops. Releasing one model, the company then a few years only updates the filling — processor and graphic accelerator. However, in 2015, the model range was extended 12-inch MacBook, in fact, replacing MacBook Air, and now it's time for a radical rethinking of the MacBook Pro.
Adequate competitors MacBook Pro on the market, to pick up, as always, difficult. More or less comparable in price models, as a rule, less productive. On the other hand, you can find similar in size and performance Windows laptops, but they will cost much more expensive — it will be a different price category, and some features are much better (screen resolution, for example), which is not always justified in such laptops.
Well, the more difficult to find a Windows laptop that would work from the battery as much as the Apple device. This is due, in particular, the energy efficiency of the operating system macOS.
Install Windows on your Mac
Operating system macOS on a typical Windows machine is very difficult to establish, and it is not certain that everything will work. In most cases, a so-called "Hackintosh" — a special build of macOS, which, after conducting special rituals "with dancing and tambourines" that can run on a standard PC. However, if the user is lucky with the motherboard, after flashing the BIOS and the substitution of the loader can be installed even it is currently an official distro of macOS that will even get regular updates from Apple. Some, however, this method is also called Hackintosh.
But to put Windows on any Mac is a piece of cake. No more difficult than to put Windows on any "normal" computer, perhaps, a little longer. The easiest method of installing Windows on Mac with the built-in macOS utilities "Boot Camp Assistant" which will help to break up the drive, configure the boot loader and to prepare a bootable USB flash drive with drivers and follows the distribution.
Note that even if you install multiple operating systems on the computer prefer virtualization, in macOS it is also not a problem: the popular Mac virtual machine in Parallels Desktop (which allows you to work with Windows apps and Windows as well as macOS) allows you to work with Boot Camp installed in Windows and requires no additional manipulations: you can use Windows in virtualized mode and loading it separately. But in this article we will only work with Boot Camp.
So, stocking up on an external USB drive, way Windows 64-bit, 10-and 16-Gigabyte USB flash drive. Now it is small — run Boot Camp.
First, it will ask, what are we actually going to do. Press the button to select an ISO disk image. Boot Camp will prompt you to use a flash drive to save the drivers and other useful tools that come in handy when working in Windows. The next step is partitioning.
Programs typically involved in the layout of the disk is quite complicated for beginners, but everything here is elementary — do not have anything to do with his hands. Is that pulling the slider, choosing how much space on the internal storage will be allocated for macOS and how much for Windows. We were too lazy to choose, so we just clicked "Divide equally". To be honest, so to speak.
In principle, that's all. After clicking "Install", Boot Camp will begin to prepare the USB stick. At this time, you can go to drink tea. To work Boot Camp will be about half an hour, it all depends on — how much will have to download from the Internet.
After Boot Camp finished, the computer will reboot and start installing Windows in the normal scenario. Select country, keyboard, lean back in the chair, when you select again sit back on the chair and so on. I'll have to manually format the newly created partition to NTFS. But Windows will warn you of this.
When Windows finally installed and loaded, will be installed the same Windows support software from Apple, what it includes.
Run Windows on your Mac
How is Windows 10 on MacBook Pro? Feels great. This is not surprising — the hardware-the poppies are quite common.
To help makovodu that just came out of the friendly and familiar world of macOS and got into Windows — the world he is unfamiliar, and therefore hostile, there is a control Panel "Boot Camp", which is automatically installed with the USB stick. The icon of this app is placed in the tray and it is always possible to call out there.
After completing the installation, you must access the Windows settings and download all the system updates. In the second step, you need to go to the app store and update the main program. It will also take some time.
Notably, Windows 10 recommends to use on a MacBook Pro, the 2560 x 1600 resolution. Built-in Touch Bar fingerprint scanner Touch ID does not work since Apple has not released relevant drivers, and the very touchscreen will offer only the standard set of functional keys: possibilities of the Touch Bar are revealed only in the macOS environment.
Panel trackpad in Windows 10 works in much the same way as in Apple. You can configure any gesture to perform the most different actions one, two, three and four fingers. However, you cannot assign tap with three fingers to launch Cortana.
Incidentally, the logical drive with the macOS (which is formatted in HFS+), and available from Windows. However, read-only. To remove something with it, like create a folder or file.
To format, by the way, did not happen — the system will generate an error. Only this is still better not to do — if you try, he can fly and you will have to restore via Recovery macOS. MacOS disk from Windows (formatted to NTFS) is also read, but cannot be accessed.
To activate Windows or not?
It is understood that there is nothing to worry if you don't activate Windows 10. Gone are the days when "Windows" frightened people black desktop and reminders about activation. Now in the bottom right corner of the screen there is a watermark, which notifies you that the OS is not activated.
For some reason, Microsoft decided not to seriously restrict the efficiency of the unlicensed version of the operating system? No one knows. The functionality has not been activated, Windows 10 is almost not violated. In this case, will not be available the personalization system. This means that the user will not be able to change the theme color, desktop Wallpaper and icons. In addition, the OS will not allow you to synchronize your settings with other device. Otherwise, it will be fully functional platform.
Download and OS choice
On a Mac the usual OS selection menu no. By default, after you install Windows in Boot Camp, the laptop when you restart or turn it on to boot into macOS without issues. If you want to boot into Windows, you need to press the Alt key at boot — then a menu will appear to select the partition to boot. If you didn't, then there will be two partitions: Mac OS and Windows. Choose the second and loaded into Windows.
And that's because the reboot, Windows will more often than macOS, which is generally very rarely requires a reboot makes sense in a Boot Camp utility for Windows to set boot in Windows by default. Even if you very rarely use the OS from Microsoft, believe me, it will be easier. After all, to shut down or restart your Mac under macOS will have even less.
Removing Windows from a Mac
Without this section the article would not be complete. What to do if Windows on a Mac is no longer needed and should be deleted? Apple took care of that. Loaded into macOS, run "Boot Camp Assistant" and select "Remove Windows 8 or later".
All the more it is necessary nothing — the program will automatically erase unnecessary disk partition and fill the remaining space a primary partition.
Removing Windows has never been so quick — the whole process took less than a minute.
Practice shows that Apple still produces the world's best laptops. Reliable, powerful, lightweight and energy-efficient. But even if the Windows world you will not let go — all is not lost. Apple has taken care of the user and provided him a tremendous opportunity to use Windows on a Mac, if that's necessary.
If you never were engaged in reinstalling the operating system and, especially, not put on a single computer multiple operating systems, Boot Camp still won't let you get lost. You may even be scared in no time — a minimum of questions and Boot Camp is already starting to work. Well, if you're a geek with experience, you will be surprised by the simplicity and ease of the process. Although, it is worth noting that not every geek is able to appreciate the simplicity and ease.

We're in the home stretch in the gift buying season, and I hope that you were able to check my cookbook post yesterday. I wanted to bring it local with a couple of gifts that could be purchased for the Atlanta food lover, hopefully away from the crowds that will descend on the malls this weekend. The majority of which I've been able to enjoy throughout the year. If you're done with your holiday shopping, perhaps get something extra for yourself? I'm sure you've earned it.
NO. 246 129 East Ponce De Leon Avenue Decatur, GA 30030
I first met Taria Camerino at Shameeka Ayers' Sugar Coma Festival event with pastry chefs from around the city showcased their wares. Later on, Taria opened up a small shop in Poncey Highland and her carefully sourced chocolates and other pastries were available at a few independent coffee houses around town. To get a glimpse of the old shop, check out this wonderful short produced by TBS. Although I was disappointed to see Sugar Coated Radical close, I was excited to see her pop up when I first visited The Optimist and to learn that she'd be responsible for pastries throughout Ford Fry's mini restaurant empire. At Sugar Coated Radical, her pastry creations beyond chocolates were reserved for Sundays, and now at No. 246 in Decatur they're on display all weekend long. You can grab them to be boxed up to go, or enjoy them with a cocktail pairing. The housemade espresso liqueur made with local roasters Batdorf is especially delicious, and I look forward to heading back soon.
I hated pork chops as a kid because people tend to overcook them in to dry, tasteless bricks. Once I started cooking them myself, with a trusty cast iron skillet, I've found that they're incredibly tasty and a great source of protein. Cobbie's Sauce is a local vinegar-based North Carolina barbecue sauce sold at specialty food shops around Atlanta that devotes part of its proceeds to The Shepherd Center, a non-profit hospital that in treatment, care, and rehabilitation of spinal cord injury and disease including multiple sclerosis. It's ideal ideal for the aforementioned pork chops and anywhere else you'd like a vinegary sauce to accompany a meal.
I've passed by Beautiful Briny Sea Salt's booth at the East Atlanta farmer's market on several occasions but for some reason never actually made a purchase. It wasn't until a few months ago when I was shopping at the Beehive that I decided to bring home a can of their mushroom salt. Their mushroom salt contains a mix of gourmet mushrooms ( porcini, crimini, shitake and silver oyster ) and sea salt. I chatted with the manager Brooke, a friend of mine who loves to use the salt with popcorn, and I've done the same at home, as well as adding it to meats and couscous. At the Field of Greens festival I met the owner & picked up a can of santa salt, and it's my new favorite, and I use it on pretty much everything. Their salts can be ordered by e-mail, can occasionally be found in the Scoutmob shoppe, and online via the Cleveland Clinic. I'll also note that the Beehive has a wide array of locally made foodstuffs and their selection changes quite often. In fact, they also carry the next item on my list.
I first learned about Dunwoody-based Emily G's when the jam was featured on the Cooking Channel show Foodcrafters. We've since struck up a friendship on Twitter and Emily even sent me a gift box of her jams for my birthday this summer. Their flavors are fun and they take advantage of seasonal flavors and local produce when possible. I was surprised to learn that there were pears grown in Georgia that find their way into her bottles of Pear Honey. My favorite however is the bold blue flavor which contain plump blueberries and have a spicy kick to them, and I love to pair the roasted red pepper with cheeses. Who am I kidding, I pretty much like every flavor. The jams can be purchased online and seemingly every specialty food shop in town. If I had more room, I'd include Pine Street Market's excellent bacon on this list as well. Feel free to take a trip to Avondale Estates and kill two birds with one stone.
Anyone who follows me on twitter should know that I'm a big fan of High Road Craft Ice Cream. They host a fun tasting at their factory every Saturday and their ice cream can be found at finer restaurants throughout Atlanta. My personal favorite is their Bourbon Burnt Sugar but I also have a soft spot for their red berries & prosecco. They even landed on the back cover of the Dean & Deluca catalog last year and set up shop at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. Their pints can be found at Whole Foods Market throughout the southeast and Fresh Market stores nationwide.
I use olive oil frequently in my cooking, but when I want something a little special, for a vinaigrette on a salad or to drizzle over roasted vegetables, I reach for this bottle of olive oil made with olives from Lakeland, GA. The green color is lovely and it tastes snappy and bright. Jim Auchmutey penned an excellent article on the farm for Atlanta Magazine, accompanied by beautiful images by Jamey Guy. I purchased my bottle from Tim "the cheese man" at Star Provisions and I've also found bottles at area Cook's Warehouse locations.
BATDORF & BRONSON COFFEE ROASTERS 650 North Ave NE, Atlanta, GA. (404) 874-0370 / 419 West Ponce De Leon Avenue Decatur, GA 30030 (404) 687-1100
Although I always was a fan of their Decatur location, I was happy when Batdorf Coffee opened a new location at Ponce City Market in the city of Atlanta. Local coffee evangelist Jason Dominy is on a mission to get everyone around him excited about coffee and performs "coffee ambushes" at area businesses, including a visit to CNN headquarters this week. I admire his drive and I wonder if the man ever sleeps – he tweets, facebooks, tumblr's more than anyone I know. Batdorf roasts coffee at its Westside locale and fresh beans for the taking can be found at both Dancing Goats locations and specialty food locations. If you're unable to find it, send a tweet to @JasonDominy and I promise that he'll help you out.
CACAO ATLANTA 312C N. Highland Avenue- Atlanta, GA 30307 / 2817 Peachtree Rd. – Atlanta, GA 30305 / 1046 N. Highland Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30306 866.960.9449
I'm a chocoholic and I had to include a local chocolatier on the list. They have a trio of retail locations in Atlanta and I had fun with my post on their Buckhead location last year. Now that we're in winter, their hot chocolate would be a perfect gift for the chocolate connossieur in your life. They also have a collaboration coffee & cacao bar with the previous entry on this list, Batdorf & Bronson. They're also packed during the holidays with beautifully wrapped gift items which can make your life a bit easier. I received one of their charcuterie-shaped salami di cioccolato and enjoyed it immensely.
This product is actually made in South Carolina but American Spirit Whiskey is helmed by two friends Jim Chasteen and Charlie Thompson here in Atlanta. They can be found all around town at various events including a recent Superstorm Sandy charity event at Sweetwater Brewery. At Taste of Atlanta's kickoff party I kept coming back for more of Jeff Jackson's terrific Southbound cocktail made with ASW's white whiskey. The recipe was featured on Garden & Gun if you'd like to take a stab at it after grabbing your bottle.
This isn't an exhaustive list by any means, just a few of my favorites. I'm also a big fan of Phickles Pickles in Athens, Sweet Grass Dairy in Thomasville, Saucy Spirits in Gwinnett, and the list goes on and there are new food businesses sprouting up all the time. If you have a favorite that I missed, please let me know about it. Happy Holidays!

A Brooklyn pervert convicted of molesting a pair of brothers for years proudly declared during his sentencing hearing yesterday his unwavering love for one of his victims, a 17-year-old boy — all as the boy sat just feet away, shaking in fear, before calling his abuser "the devil disguised as a human."
"Every second of every day, all that I think about is [you]," convicted creep Andrew Goodman reportedly said of his victim during his sentencing hearing yesterday.
Judge Martin Murphy shot back, telling Goodman that "Your statement that you made today was ill-advised, to say the least."
Only not really; Murphy's the same judge who signed off on a sweetheart, slap-on-the-wrist plea agreement for Goodman that puts the perv away for a mere two years — despite the fact that he was charged with 48 pervert-related felonies for abusing the boys for years.
As one of the victims pointed out during yesterdays hearing, 48 counts is more than the number of crimes with which Penn State monster Jerry Sandusky was charged. Unlike Goodman, Sandusky will die in prison.
Goodman's been behind bars since his arrest in 2010, which means he could potentially be out on the streets — possibly cuddling up to your kids — by September.
So, how the fuck did this happen? Your guess is as good as ours — the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office didn't respond to our request for an explanation.
Other news outlets have let the Brooklyn D.A. off the hook, placing the blame for the ridiculous deal on the shoulders of Murphy (New York Post, we're looking in your direction). But plea deals don't exist without prosecutors (a judge can either accept or reject the deal), which means the Brooklyn D.A. had to sign off on the shitty deal — much to the apparent dismay of the victim, who told the court that "The best thing for [Goodman] and society is if you're locked in a cage away from society – especially children."
Oh, and if you think the sentence is appropriate, and Goodman will learn his lesson in two short years (read: if you're an idiot), Goodman's neighbors have video footage of him sneaking up to 11 underage boys in and out of his 15th Street home in "predawn hours."
So, yeah — this guy's gonna be a free man in a few months, and you can thank the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office and Judge Martin Murphy.

Lacey, who was the final actress to play the title role on Broadway and toured the country and the world to much acclaim in the part, said she remembers a great piece of advice that director Hal Prince once gave her. "It's so interesting, because I did a seminar here [at the Signature] just a couple of days ago, and it was so thrilling to be talking about that again, about how fun it was to investigate that character, to learn who she was in history and to study it. And, I remember Hal giving me the most wonderful note. He said to me, 'Flo, I want you to find all the love in Evita. We know she's powerful, we know she's hard, we know she's got all these negative things about her. Let's investigate everything she loves.' And I took that note for two years on the road, and I just was always investigating. What is it she loves? Peron, of course. She loves herself. She loves her descamisados. She seeks the love of everyone. … That was great fun working on just the acting of that role."
Lacey adds, "It was a great show, and I have so many happy memories, because I got to see the world, playing that role. It was a wonderful way for a girl from McKeesport, Pennsylvania, to see the world in such a glamorous way, in such an exciting way."

|This article is about a/an two-part episode in Power Rangers Turbo, the third installment in the Zordon Era .
Passing the Torch is a two part episode of Power Rangers Turbo, encompassing the eighteenth and nineteenth episodes. The two parter's significance is in the passing of the Red, Green, Yellow, and Pink Turbo powers from Tommy, Adam, Tanya, and Kat over to their successors, T.J., Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie as Tommy, Adam, Tanya and Kat retire from their duties as Power Rangers, while Justin stays as the Blue Turbo Ranger.
Visited by her mother Mama D, Divatox is inspired to take down the Power Rangers by removing their leader. While heading to the outskirts of Angel Grove to go camping with Adam, Tanya, and Justin, Tommy and Kat are ambushed by an army of Pirahnatrons, with Tommy being captured to be dumped into the Vortex of Eternal Doom and Sorrow, while the others fight the Flamite at their campsite. Luckily, a pair of young teens in the midst of moving to Angel Grove, T.J. and Cassie, spot the disturbance and come to the Rangers' aid.
As T.J. and Cassie head off to rescue Tommy, Flamite plans to burn down Angel Grove. Carlos and Ashley help bring a group of children into the Youth Center while the rest of the Power Rangers attempt to put out the giant fire. On top of all that, time is running out for the four eldest Rangers, who must pass on their powers to worthy successors by the end of the day.
Part 1
As Divatox sleeps in her quarters on the Subcraft, she is visited by her mother Mama D, who is not happy at her daughter's incompetence and calls her a failure to the family name. She orders Divatox to redeem herself by destroying the Power Rangers, or else she'll be working at the eyepatch factory. When Divatox asks how, Mama D hammers it in deep: "Remove the leader... the rest will fall like dominoes".
Out in the mountains, Tommy and Kat are driving out to meet with Justin, Tanya, and Adam for a camping trip. Elsewhere on a cross-country bus, a young teenage girl is singing to her portable radio, annoying all the other passengers until a nearby teenage boy tells her to stop. As the two strike up a conversation, they introduce themselves to each other as T.J. and Cassie. Cassie is heading to Stone Canyon to pursue a music career, while T.J. is heading to Angel Grove to get some training and become a baseball player.
Back with Tommy and Kat, Divatox has sent Piranhatrons out on motorcycles to chase their truck and capture Tommy. The two Rangers are forced to head off-road as the fishy fiends stay in hot pursuit. Kat jumps out to safety and drops her Turbo Key while Tommy keeps the Piranhatrons focused on him as he escapes, but they blow up his truck and knock him out. At a nearby rest stop, T.J. hears the battle and runs off to investigate, ignoring Cassie's reminder that the bus is getting ready to leave.
Divatox, having spotted the other Rangers camping, sends out a pair of Putra Pods and the monster Flamite in order to keep them from coming to Tommy's rescue. While Adam and Tanya bicker over setting up the hammock, Justin spots movement in the bushes and follows it only to be ambushed by Flamite. Nearby, a Putra Pod hatches and attacks Adam and Tanya.
No longer able to stall the bus driver, Cassie decides to stay behind and look for T.J.. She finds him near Tommy's blown-up truck, and they soon see Kat being harassed by the Piranhatrons. T.J. runs to help her with a reluctant Cassie following. They are attacked by another group of Piranhatrons before they can even get close to her, but they prove surprisingly capable of fighting them off to Kat's amazement. However, none of them are paying attention to the Putra Pod that is hatching.
At the campsite, Justin gets his Turbo Key knocked away by Flamite and struggles against his grip. Tanya and Adam trip up the Putra Pod in their hammock and run to help him, but their Keys get kicked away as well and they are forced to dodge Flamite as they retrieve them. In the desert, T.J., Cassie, and Kat join together to fight the Piranhatrons but are unable to save Tommy as the Putra Pod drags him away. And in a hidden cave, Divatox cackles in triumph as the leader of the Power Rangers is delivered to her.
Part 2
Justin, Tanya, and Adam morph and draw their Turbo Weapons, but Flamite blocks their shots. Adam then dumps a fire-bucket full of water on the monster to weaken him. While it works, Flamite teleports away before the Rangers can attack. Unable to follow for now, the Rangers head out to meet with Kat and scare off the Piranhatrons. T.J. and Cassie show the Rangers their gratitude for the rescue and help console Kat before leaving.
In the cave, Divatox has hooked Tommy to a rope and is boasting over how she'll make him suffer for all the misery he and the Rangers put her through, but she can't decide how to do it. Mama D appears and suggests dumping him into the Vortex of Eternal Doom and Sorrow. Divatox agrees with the idea, so Mama D summons the Vortex to appear below Tommy's feet as he dangles for dear life. To add one final touch, Divatox spreads peanut butter on the rope so that the rats will gnaw through it, keeping Tommy on edge until his last moment.
In the Power Chamber, the remaining Rangers have their hands full. Alpha 6 is unable to locate Tommy, a giant Flamite is on a rampage in Angel Grove, and Dimitria has warned the Rangers that their time is fleeting and fading fast, as evidenced by a diminishing hourglass. The Rangers can't fight Flamite in their current state, so they morph and focus on getting civilians to safety first. Back in the desert, T.J. is still excited over meeting the Power Rangers and explains to Cassie that he had wanted to be one when he was a kid, but she doesn't seem to share his sentiments and simply wants to get back into town. When they find slimy footprints left by the Putra Pod, T.J. decides to follow them. Cassie doesn't and goes her own way instead.
As the Rangers help the civilians, a pair of familiar faces are spotted: Carlos and Ashley from the High School soccer team. Adam and Tanya recruit them to help evacuate the children to the Youth Center. Elsewhere, Piranhatrons are preventing the fire department from putting out Flamite's fires, forcing Kat and Justin to fight them off.
T.J.'s following of the slime trail leads him to a rocky cliff... and Cassie, who can't bring herself to leave her new friend behind. Together, they reach the cave where Tommy is seconds away from falling into the Vortex. Though a trio of Piranhatrons try to stall them, T.J. is just barely able to grab the rope as it snaps, allowing Cassie to grab and save Tommy. After a moment of introduction and thanks, T.J. and Cassie leave while Tommy teleports behind their backs to join the battle at Angel Grove. Now at full strength, the Rangers summon the Turbo Megazord and give Flamite a Spin-Out to end the long battle, leaving Divatox to face Mama D's wrath.
With the hourglass now out of sand and Angel Grove safe, the Rangers are ready to do what must be done. Dimitria and Alpha 6 show them to a special room in the Power Chamber, where they are reunited with Zordon and Alpha 5 as part of a grand event: the Power Transfer. Tommy, Tanya, Kat, and Adam have been asked to choose new individuals to continue on as the Power Rangers in their stead, and they have chosen T.J., Ashley, Cassie, and Carlos to take up their respective mantles as the Red, Yellow, Pink, and Green Turbo Rangers. With Justin at their side as the Blue Turbo Ranger, the legacy continues.

- Ed Neil as Rygog
- Lex Lang as Rygog (voice)
- Scott Page-Pagter as Porto (voice)
- Carol White as Mama D
- When he said the word "Morph" when Tanya mentioned doing this, Flamite's voice suddenly turned into Elgar's. This is because both are voiced by Prince.
- When Tommy's truck explodes and he dives towards the ground, Kat yells "Tommy!". However, the exact same yell is repeated seconds later.
- Part I contains no Sentai footage.
- Tommy drives a Dodge Ram 50.
- First appearance of T.J. Johnson and Cassie Chan.
- Final appearance of Tommy Oliver with long hair.
- Final time Tanya morphs and final time she fight unmorphed.
- Final unmorphed appearance, to date, of Tanya Sloan; she would appear morphed in the episode Legendary Battle in Power Rangers Super Megaforce as the Yellow Zeo Ranger.
- Final time Tommy morphs and morphs into a Red Ranger until "Forever Red" and final time he appears as a series regular until "Day of the Dino".
- Tommy would appear again to as the Red Zeo Ranger in Wild Force, "Forever Red", return to full-time duties as the Black Dino Thunder Ranger in Dino Thunder, and make further appearances as the original Green Ranger in "Legendary Battle" and all powers (bar Turbo) in Super Ninja Steels "Dimensions in Danger".
- Final time Adam morphs into a Green Ranger.
- Final time Adam morphs until "Always a Chance."

- However, when asked about it at a convention's question-and-answer session, Richard Steven Horvitz only said "Was I gone by that time, was someone doing Alpha 6? Yeah, Alpha was gone and I didn't watch it anymore. ...No. As soon as Alpha was gone, I was gone."[1]
- The casting switch was made due to a multitude of factors. At the time, Jason David Frank wanted to leave the franchise after Zeo, but the producers negotiated with him to appear in 19 episodes so they could find a replacement. Catherine Sutherland, according to some reports, was also interested in leaving the show, However Sutherland has given conflicting reports on whether or not this is true. With the Screen Actors Guild wanting the actors to join, that would have resulted in Saban having to pay more for the actors' services. As a result, Saban placed ads in the newspaper looking for four new Rangers, deciding to release Johnny Yong Bosch and Nakia Burrise as well. According to Bosch, the actors found out about their release when a makeup artist showed them the want ad for new Rangers.
- In an early script, T.J. introduced himself to Tommy as "Timothy Johnson."[2]
- Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, Rocky and Aisha were to appear at the end to join the departing Rangers, basically showing all the Power Rangers who ever existed (up to that point) together. All but Trini were to be played by body doubles and not Austin St. John, Walter Jones, David Yost, Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley and Amy Jo Johnson. [3]
- None of the Turbo Rangers appear morphed in Part I.
- Part II marks the first time the morphing sequence was used in the cold opening.
- It would later be followed by "Survival of the Silver".
- As of this episode, Dimitria no longer speaks in questions (a trait that was considered very annoying for both characters and viewers alike).
- When Carlos and Ashley bring the kids into the Youth Center, the First Boy is played by Wesley Barker (Drew McCormick of the Beetleborgs).
- Part II is the last episode to feature Jason David Frank in the intro until Power Rangers Dino Thunder and the last episode to feature Johnny Yong Bosch, Nakia Burrise and Catherine Sutherland in the intro.
- Carlos and Ashley (and Jerome Stone) only appear in part two, while T.J. and Cassie appeared in both parts the same as Mama D.
- In the recap segment of Part I, there was a deleted scene that featured Divatox saying, "You're in for it now, Tommy boy."
- This is also the first time where T.J., Carlos, Ashley and Cassie appear helmetless.
- Cassie mentions Tina Turner, who began her career with her husband Ike, and recorded with him in the 1960's and 1970's, until they divorced, and then had a successful solo career in the 1980's.

At the moment my son is trying to work out what which career path to follow. I told him its early days yet and he just needs to concentrate on subjects he enjoys. I also told him that he would probably change his mind a million times like I had…
Son: So what did you want to be when you were my age?
Me: I wanted to be a vet.
Son: And what did it change to?
Me: Oh lots of things. I wanted to be a teacher, a designer and even a popstar at one point!
Son: So what did you finally want to be when you were older?
Me: Well I was training to be a nurse when I became pregnant with you.
Son: So why aren't you a nurse then?
Me: Because then I had you and I found something I wanted to be even more… A mum!
Now I thought that was a really sweet thing to say and it is the truth from my heart. But he doesn't understand why being a mum is so important to me, however I don't think I would have understood it at his age either.
After that, the conversation took a drastic change of direction from him…
Son: Is it actually because childcare is really expensive or because you can't afford to go to university?
Me: No! I'm actually happy with my MUM JOB! And if I still want to be a nurse when you lot are older, I can start studying again.
Son: Yeah right! You'll be too old by then, you'll be ANCIENT!!!
I don't need to tell you that I wasn't at all impressed! I had to stop my inner lioness from erupting, I am a Leo after all! But like any parent of a teenager knows, there's no point arguing because as far as they are concerned – they know it all! So I let that comment slide…
Hopefully one day my son will be a parent then I'll remind him of this conversation and hopefully he will get it!
Suki… X!

PTSD and Post Natal Depression Claims
Studies show that birth trauma contributing to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in mothers after childbirth is often confused with Postnatal Depression. Similar to PTSD in other life situations (caused by serious accidents and assault, for example), a difficult birth can scar mothers emotionally and cause trauma. It is now generally accepted that PTSD can be a result of birth trauma and is considered a birth injury.
Call JMW's experienced solicitors to speak to an understanding and sympathetic solicitor about a potential post natal depression claim. Call free on 0800 054 6512, or leave us a call back request and we will be in touch.
Symptoms of birth trauma PTSD
Symptoms of delayed reactions to anything that threatened to seriously injure a mother or her baby; intense fear about giving birth again; flashbacks and nightmares; concentration problems; anxiety and difficulty sleeping.
For some women, the way their birth was handled by medical staff causes PTSD, which is as much a birth injury as any physical condition. A feeling of a loss of control, loss of dignity and birthing requests being ignored (like requests for pain relief) are often referred to.
Premature babies, fears about a baby's ability to survive (especially if they are in intensive care) and poor monitoring while in intensive care are common concerns associated with PTSD. Partners of women who suffer from PTSD are usually affected and are particularly distressed when watching what their wives are experiencing.
Post natal depression and PTSD
PTSD is often confused with Postnatal Depression or Postnatal Illness, but it is not the same thing. Postnatal Depression (PND) is a depressive illness occurring after a woman has given birth. It ranges in severity from 'baby blues' to postnatal psychosis and is found in one out of every seven mothers. Read more about PND at www.pni.org.uk
Symptoms of PND include feeling sad and tearful; anhedonia (an inability to feel joy); irritability; anxiety attacks and occasionally suicidal thoughts. Many women are given anti-depressants for PTSD by doctors who have incorrectly diagnosed them with PND, and end up having additional side-effects like lethargy or not being able to respond properly to their babies.
Mothers are advised by practitioners to evaluate their emotions themselves when trying to process feelings after a difficult birth and to consider alternative treatments like counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). For more information about birth trauma visit www.birthtraumaassociation.org.uk
Making a compensation claim
Many mothers suffering from PTSD as the result of medical negligence do not know that they are entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.
If PSTD is suffered through birth trauma as a result of the attending obstetrician having not carried out practices with due diligence and care or any other medical negligence, you may be eligible to make a claim.
Our team are experts in personal injury cases and will listen with understanding to your concerns. Call us now on 0800 054 6512 and we will talk you through the claims process in plain English, without using legal jargon.

But don't worry – he will still be seen hosting the ITV show.
Simon has just kicked him out of his dressing room.
When Cowell quit The X Factor in 2010 to head to the States, O'Leary, 41, struck lucky.
Bosses gave him the boss's dressing room. It is the biggest one at Fountain TV Studios in north London where the live shows are filmed, and has all mod cons including a private bathroom.
However, now Cowell, 54, is returning to the show, he wants it back.
A team are on standby to roll in and redecorate the place with padded walls, a new fluffy carpet, huge mirrors and a giant plush sofa. So poor Dermot is getting booted out.
He will have to make do with a much smaller room which former Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack, 34, used to occupy. A source said: "Poor Dermot. First he gets ridiculed in The X Factor musical I Can't Sing and now he's being evicted from the best dressing room."
New judge Mel B, 39, is set to take up residence in Sharon Osbourne's old room.
Cheryl Cole, 31, will be back in her old room which Nicole Scherzinger, 36, used, and Louis Walsh, 61, will be in the same room he's had every year.

Friday, California water regulators ordered farmers and other landowners with water rights dating back to 1903 to stop pumping water from The Sacramento, San Joaquin and Delta watersheds.
It's a fight many land owners saw coming during the state's fourth consecutive drought year, when all Californians have been asked to cut their water usage. However, many landowners who staked claims on property near these waterways over a century ago argue their water rights are protected under the constitution, and that the state does not have the authority to ask them to stop using these sources of water to grow their crops.
"Some of them feel like we do not have the authority to go ahead and tell them to stop taking water, however, we do have authority in the water code, and really it's a simple equation. When you have more demand and less supply, someone has to stop taking water," George Kostyrko with the State Water Resources Control Board said.
Fridays order told over 100 people with water rights dating back to 1903 to stop diverting water from local rivers. Kostyrko told FOX40 the order will protect those with even stronger water rights, dating before 1903, at least for now. He said as the summer progresses and the drought worsens, those with pre-1903 water rights will likely be asked to stop diverting water as well.
"They saw this coming, so," John Precissi said.
Precissi is a crop duster. He said his business is actually doing well because of warmer temperatures, but that everyone in the agriculture industry is talking about these water curtailments.
"We work hard at it and it's sad that like our livelihood's being affected by our state, you know?" Precissi said.
"This is the first time this has happened since probably '77 or '78," Kostyrko said.
Steve Knell with the Oakdale Irrigation District said there's a reason for that. In a written statement, Knell said, "The state water board has never before curtailed pre-1914 water rights holders.
There is a reason for that. It does not have the jurisdiction to issue, manage, oversee or curtail pre-1914 water rights," Knell said.
Some lawyers representing local farmers with senior water rights said Friday they were prepared to go to court over this fight.
"They've worked all their lives for this and now they feel helpless because the state is trying to divert a lot of the water that we use to feed the world," Precissi said.

It?s looking positively grim out there for first-time home buyers. The National Association of Realtors reports that only 28 percent of the home resale market is made up by folks purchasing their first home. That number usually hovers around 40 percent. Does anyone know why this number has suddenly gone upside down? The short answer is, ?Yes.? For a slightly longer answer, keep reading.
We could stand here blindfolded and throw darts at the wall all day but, instead, let?s turn to Zillow economist (and not former San Diego Chargers quarterback), Stan Humphries. What about it, Stan? Where did the first-time home buyers go to? Humphries points to three reasons.
High Down Payment Requirements
Ten years ago, financing to buy a new home was fast and loose. Down payments ranged from five percent all the way down to nothing. The end result of all this government-induced lending insanity was, predictably, the foreclosure crisis that began in 2006 and continues today. One of the most noticeable effects of the hangover is that most lenders require at least 20 percent down for a home mortgage today, and some have pushed that all the way up to 25 percent. For recent college graduates with mountains of education loan debt, the numbers simply don?t add up.
The Underwater Problem
Another bit of fallout from the foreclosure crisis is a large percentage owners of start-up homes find themselves ?underwater? on their mortgage. This means they owe more on the loan than the house is worth on the open market. Obviously, many are opting to hold onto their house rather than sell it, and keep their fingers crossed that the market recovers enough to put them back into the land of profitability. Until then, there?s not much they can do except hunker down and hold onto their property, which removes many of the affordably-priced options from the market. Strike two against first-time home buyers.
Deep Pocketed Investors
The last problem Humphries points to is the presence of real estate investors with lots of cash. This type of buyer swooped in when the market tanked and has been buying up every low to moderately priced house in sight ever since. First-time home buyers are having a hard time competing with that kind of cash.
What does all this mean to us as income property investors? It?s a good thing, according to Jason Hartman. Every person that isn?t a home owner is going to be renting, unless they have moved back in with dear old mom and dad, and for us, the more renters the better.?(Top image: Flickr | danielmoyle)
