Marriott is proving quite busy in Lagos these days – and Ikeja is no exception.
The 117-room Protea Select Alausa, Ikeja opened last week, just across from the Ikeja City Mall and close to the Lagos State Secretariat. The hotel features – 75 classic rooms; 8 twin rooms; 24 deluxe rooms; 8 suites; conference & boardrooms; a restaurant, and a swimming pool.
There are two more hotels in Marriott's pipeline for Ikeja. The African Pride Avalon Hotel & Spa with 158 rooms is scheduled to open in 2016. It is being developed by Avalon Intercontinental Nigeria for an estimated US$57 million. Work has been underway on the site for a few years now, but there have been delays (the previously scheduled opening year was 2013), as is normal in this part of the world.
And just this past Wednesday, August 27th, the developers of the Marriott Ikeja, Sifax Group, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony at the project site. The 251-room hotel will offer the standard facilities expected of a full service branded hotel, as well as five food & beverage outlets, a large ballroom and conferencing facilities. G1 Architecture are handling the architecture and interior design of the project. The hotel is expected to be completed and open in 2018.
Hotels in the Ikeja area serve the demand requiring proximity to the airport, such as air crews and transient guests. Also the location there of the Lagos State Government administration, as well as industrial estates and other businesses ensure a substantial level of commercial activity to sustain a thriving hotel market. Ikeja is essentially a distinct hotel market, separate from the VI, Ikoyi and Lekki markets. The supply of international standard hotels in Ikeja is currently limited, and this has continued to attract investment attention for the area, as is evident in all the ongoing development activity.

|Gala Lab Corp. (formerly: Aeonsoft)
|Fantasy MMORPG
Flyff (short for Fly for Fun) is a fantasy MMORPG by Korean development company Gala Lab (formerly Aeonsoft & nFlavor).[1]
Flyff is hosted in 13 countries and 10 languages and has over 30 million registered accounts.[2]
In December 2002, Aeonsoft developed the first provisional prototype of the game, called Clockworks Ltd. In September 2003, the company changed the game's name to Flyff, and began its first closed beta in Korea. In July 2004, it won the Game of the Month award from the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Over the next year, it was launched in three more countries: China, Taiwan, and Thailand. In October 2005, the US received the closed beta, which ran for a month before Flyff was commercially launched in December.[3]
Players control an avatar that spends most of its active time fighting and most of its inactive time running a shop. Character classes are chosen at level 15 and sub-classes at levels 60 and 130, referred to as the first, second, and third job changes. The job changes are obligatory—when a character reaches the requisite level, experience gain stops until the completion of one of the job quests.
Levels are gained based on experience, which can be acquired by killing Masquerpets and by performing quests. Quests generally involve killing specific Masquerpets and collecting the different quest objects they drop; a typical early quest is that of "Party of Is," with the requirement of collecting 7 Chupims through killing Pukepukes.[4]
At each level, the character receives skill points that can be invested in skills available to its job(s). There are two types of skills: those used for attacking and those used for protection and/or enhancement. Skills may have cool-down times and may cause status effects, with confusion, stun, and bleed among the most common effect. It is not possible to acquire maximum levels in all available skills until becoming a level 60 Master.[5]
Characters can be improved by acquiring objects such as improved equipment. Masquerpets drop equipment, the in-game currency penya, consumable items such as food and potions, and quest objects, or players can purchase equipment from other players note this is usually extremely expensive because of the high quality gear that can be acquired this way. These can all be traded between players; Flyff gameplay involves large amounts of buying and selling in order to collect desired equipment. Most equipment items have minimum levels at which they can be used.
Flyff features melee, ranged and magic combat, with different skills available to different classes. Health points, fight points, and magic power bars are able to be replenished through food, vital drinks and mana refreshers; some classes depend on assists to heal them with magic.
Player versus player (PvP) combat is allowed on all servers without penalty in the form of dueling. Both players must be over level 15, and within 30 levels of each other, then they must confirm the duel first unless they are within the PvP Arena, a free-for-all environment found on all servers.[6] Player killing is allowed only on the Yetti server and carries a high penalty.
Social systems[edit]
Lord System[edit]
Introduced in version 12, the Lord system allows eligible[7] players to be voted as the Lord of their server for 2 weeks. Players must have obtained Hero or Master status to qualify as a Lord candidate. While a Lord, a player may introduce a number of events on the server.
Party System[edit]
Players who join a party gain increased experience and loot. A lone player does not benefit from or harm a party. A party starts as a Regular Party, in which experience is distributed evenly among party members in the same location. At level 10, the party becomes Advanced, at which point experience can be distributed to players based on their amount of damage done. An Advanced Party may have up to 8 players; having this many players in a party increases player experience with each monster killed during training.
Guild System[edit]
Guilds allow players to socialize; players within a guild can chat with each other and many in-game activities are guild-based. Guilds have a hierarchical chain of command, consisting of the Master/Leader, Kingpins, Captains, Supporters, and Rookies. The guild master may change the permissions for guild members, allowing members to withdraw items or money from the guild bank, rank-up or de-rank other members, and be paid daily. Guilds are able to choose an emblem and cloak to represent themselves and have the use of a warehouse. When a guild reaches the appropriate guild level, increased by supporting the guild through quest items and Penya, the guild master may create guild cloaks at a cost that sport the guild's symbol. A large amount of Flyff end-game content is guild-related.
Guild Siege[edit]
This event, held on Saturday in channel 1 of each server, allows guilds to compete in a free-for-all environment. A total of 8 Guilds may enter, and each Guild may have 10 players. To compete, the Guild leader must place a bid; the 8 highest bidders compete.
Clockworks War[edit]
The Clockworks War is a guild dungeon that guilds of any level may enter a single time. If the guild fails against the dungeon boss, its players may reattempt to win as many times as necessary for a time period of one hour. Only one guild is permitted inside the Clockworks Arena at a time.
Couple System[edit]
The couple system, implemented in Version 13, allows a marriage-style connection between two characters.[8] Characters who become a couple are granted special buffs and skills and receive gifts with new couple level gained.[8]
Mentor/Pupil System[edit]
The Mentor/Pupil system, implemented in Version 15, allows any player level 91 or above to take on any character who has not completed their second Job Change as a pupil after completing the mentor qualification quest. This Mentor/Pupil bond provides a special bonus to experience gained by both mentor and pupil while both characters are logged on to the same server. Additionally, upon the pupil reaching certain level marks, the mentor gains 'Mentor Points'; as the mentor gains more of these points, additional pupils may be taken on, to a maximum of 3 pupils when over 100 Mentor Points are gained. These additional pupils grant increases to the experience bonus of the mentor; the other pupils' experience bonus' remain unchanged.
While no action apart from the initial bonding is necessary within the Mentor/Pupil relationship, mentors are encouraged to help their pupils with advice, quests, and/or occasional gifts. If at any time either pupil or mentor becomes dissatisfied, the player may cancel the bond. The Mentor Points of a mentor who loses all pupils returns to 0 and must be regained through new Mentor/Pupil bonds.
Other game systems[edit]
Events involving rare drops and extra experience are held almost every week by the gamemaster team. Maintenance is held every Tuesday evening (gPotato) and Thursday noon (FlyFF PH).
Collector System[edit]
Re-Introduced in version 11, the Collector System[6] allows players to collect rare and unique game items through the use of a Collectors.
Private Shops[edit]
Players can open private shops, in which held items can be sold at any price. Other players can enter these shops and purchase the items within, with the purchase money transferred to the shop owner's inventory.
Raising Pets[edit]
Players may keep seven types of Raised Pets, which start out as eggs. An egg can be hatched by the Pet Tamer NPC after feeding the egg 50,000 pet feed. To evolve a pet, players must complete quests given by the Pet Tamer. Pets must also be fed to keep them alive. Each Raised Pet has five levels and three appearances. A player accompanied by a pet receives additional stat points based on the type of pet.
Monsters are generally associated with a particular in-game elements, of which there are five. Each element is vulnerable to one element and resistant to another. Weapons and armor can be "elemented", conferring advantages against monsters of some types and disadvantages against others; many aggressive spells are also elemented.
Cash Shop[edit]
Flyff uses a micropayment system through which users can obtain 'Game Cash'. Game Cash can be exchanged for premium items not otherwise available in the game, including clothing, potions, different kinds of scrolls and pick-up pets.
On February 13, 2012, Gala Lab, the development arm of Gala, Inc., revealed artwork for its upcoming game named F2: Floating Fortress. F2 was announced to have large-scale duel and PvP arenas, aerial combat, sieges and various types of PvP quests.[9] The title was meant as a sequel to FlyFF.[10]
On July 25, 2014, the sequel was officially cancelled by Gala Lab. The project was ceased because of various internal circumstances that the company had been through.[11]

Welcome to the 368th edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday, the fourth and hardest of March. The winner will receive an MP3 download code courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. To win, be the first person to identify the songs and dates of the three mystery clips. Each person gets one guess to start – if no one answers correctly in the first 24 hours, I'll post a hint. After the hint, everyone gets one more guess before Wednesday at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Good luck!
Hint: Phish has covered a certain color-themed band quite a bit, though I wouldn't necessarily say it's any colour you like...
Answer: And then there were... 22? The Blog's favorite math professor, @ChalkDustTeacher, has done it again and catapulted himself downtown straight into the MJM Hall of Fame with his seventh win. This week, he needed the hint (thanks to @Dog_Faced_Boy for handling that for us!) but saw right through it to nail down the three jams played at shows feature Pink Floyd covers: 6/17/11 "Rock and Roll," 5/1/93 "Weekapaug Groove" (listen to the whole thing - it's psych ward level insanity), and the 9/12/00 "Down with Disease." This week's MJM should serve as a reminder that outside of the 11/2/98 Dark Side of the Moon cover, Phish has paid homage to their forefathers more than a few dozen times (see: many of the "HYHU" > "Bike" > "HYHU" Fishman features, the aforementioned tournament final featuring the "Mike's" -> "Breathe" from 10/25/95, or any of the "Great Gig in the Sky" renditions from '93-'94).
@ChalkDustTeacher burst onto the scene during the MMJM tournament a couple years back – he was a virtual nobody, and hadn't yet won a single MJM. We were dubious of the performance by a rookie, wondering what sort of fingerprinting algorithms he may have written to buoy his just-short performance. But he quickly put those thoughts to rest by winning his first and second MJMs back-to-back a few weeks later, finishing with three wins in the four months following his Wookiee of the Year performance. But then he disappeared for all of 2018, and we thought he was the latest to burn out and not fade away. Some heard he was working on Hilbert's Problems, others said he may have been searching for stable solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation. It's unclear if there's a rational answer to exactly what he was up to, but what we know for sure is that 2019 brought him out of the Great White Woodwork to win four of the next ten (!) MJMs to finally put the theories to bed. Congrats @ChalkDustTeacher! One question as you hop aboard the cruise ship towards the vault: do you know what MJM Emeriti smell like? Depends...

A 2-day long siege in the central prison of the Suwaida province, Syria, ended today after pro-regime forces opened fire on political prisoners protesting their maltreatment on the hands of prison-guards. Four prisoners were reportedly killed, with few injured. Protesters were specifically concerned for the fate of prisoners recently transported to Damascus, a move that's usually considered a step towards eventual liquidation. The Suwaida prison hosts over a 1,000 inmates, the majority of them are political prisoners. The province is a majority-Druze enclave, and has retained a position that is considered neutral for the most part in the ongoing civil war.

As I read through the Black Lives Matter Manifesto "Invest-Divest," I find that many of its ideas dealing with domestic issues to be positive albeit too aspirational in nature to inspire any real policy change at this stage. On foreign policy issues, however, the Manifesto is an unmitigated disaster. After reading the sections on foreign policy, one cannot help but come out with the impression that the United States, Israel, the CIA and Western corporations are the source of all evil in the world, including genocide. No other state or non-state actor is blamed for anything, and there is no attempt at contextualizing any of America's, or Israel's, policies. It's as though the Cold War never happened, corrupt and authoritarian rulers don't exist, and terrorism and terrorist groups are a chimera. If this is the worldview guiding the actions of Black Lives Matter activists then no good can come out of their movement. I still believe in "Black Lives Matter" as a moral ethos, but, I cannot endorse the movement.

Alternate Title
Alternate 1: NATO to lose Turkey as member; #Incirlik's future in serious doubt.
Alternate 2: Obama's foreign East policies cast shadows over NATO future.
Indeed, recent developments in Turkey including current rapprochement with Russia reflect long-term mismanagement by the Obama administration of Turkish-American relations. Turkish President Erdogan's personality and ambitions may have made any discussion quite difficult, but the administration's diplomacy in this regard seems to have always lacked the much needed sense of urgency and foresight to prevent arriving at this juncture. So NATO might have been lost long before Trump made his entry onto the stage.
01:59 pm
Now This…
01:10 pm
And now for something completely repetitive…
The fact that it was George W. Bush who signed the agreement on the Iraqi pullout does not forgive Obama's bungling of the matter. How so? Because the idea was to pull out leaving a stable Iraq behind. Ensuring that was one of the primary tasks entrusted to the Obama team. Yet, the administration showed little interest in challenging the sectarian policies of the Maliki government despite ample warnings that they were facilitating the reemergence of Al-Qaeda and the appearance of ISIS. Obama should have realized months before the pullout that the country is not ready to left alone, and he should have seriously pushed to negotiate an extension of the deal.
01:10 pm
And now for someone completely indifferent…
Obama: Big Chunk of My Gray Hair Comes Out of Syria Meetings: "President Obama talks about one of the biggest issues of his presidency, the civil war in Syria, and how it weighs on him." Nice try Mr. President, but you're fooling no one. The moment you refused to impose a no-fly/no-go zone you condemned us all to hell. And none of the excuse you offered made any sense: the plan did not call for massive deployment of American military might, and did not call for thousands of American troops to be sent to Syria, and, had it been done early on in the crisis, it would hot have even called for arming rebels, as they were none. Once Assad was deprived of his military advantage, protesters would have taken over most towns and cities in Syria and would have been able to provide effective governance. Negotiations under international supervision would have accomplished the rest. No, this is not wishful thinking. We have seen these dynamics play out in the first 8-12 months. Assad's extremely violent tactics coupled with your indifference combined to transform the situation into a civil war, a proxy war, and the largest global humanitarian catastrophe in decades.
Barack Obama says he does not trust Russia over peace in Syria. "I am not confident that we can trust the Russians and Vladimir Putin, which is why we have to test [them]." If they don't play ball, "Russia will have shown itself very clearly to be an irresponsible actor on the world stage that is supporting a murderous regime and will have to answer to that on the international stage."
But how will this impression of Russia as "an irresponsible actor on the world stage" help stop its multiplying war crimes in support of Assad's "murderous regime"? Russia's crimes now include bombing civilian neighborhoods, targeting hospitals and doctors, and using internationally banned weapons such as white phosphorus, vacuum and cluster bombs. And still we expect Putin to show he's willing to become a responsible actor? And let's not forget Iran of course.
01:00 pm
Bad governance is the plague infecting most Arab-majority countries, and, despite the Arab Spring and its myriad revolutions, nothing has so far changed. Will Arab countries that were not directly affected by the revolutions learn the lesson and improve their governance styles?
The ruining of Egypt: Repression and the incompetence of Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi are stoking the next uprising.
State of denial: Egypt has squandered billions of dollars in aid. With more on the way, is it at last ready to reform?

In today's workplace, email has replaced the heretofore ubiquitous office memo as the primary form of inter- and intra-office communications. But so quickly do these modern message bearers collect in our inboxes that it is often the case that we hastily answer them in an attempt to juggle all of our other daily responsibilities. What is not often considered is how easy it is to transform a five-second email into a rude or annoying message that can affect your office relationships. If you find yourself a perpetuator of any of the following irritating email habits fear not, there are a handful of simple strategies to avoid them in your future exchanges.
I. Using your emails like text messages:
Whoever you are in the chain of command, it is important to remember that emails and texting are not the same thing. Using an email subject line to convey a message only conveys one thing loud and clear: the recipient isn't worth your time. It's annoying, potentially insulting and not worth the fifteen seconds you saved by doing it. Instead, keep your subject line to a couple of words and take a few extra seconds to type out a complete sentence or two.
II. Emphasizing important text by bolding, capitalizing, or otherwise accenting the words:
Though you may be doing it simply as a way to catch the eye of the reader, using all caps or highlighting demands or instructions carries an air of condescension. The extra attention given to specific text is abrasive and unnecessary. Instead, use bullet points or less offensive formatting such as italicizing to point out important details. Make your email subject line informative and keep your messages as concise as possible so the chance of reading over information is kept to a minimum.
III. Always using "reply all":
As with the extra added emphasis on important text, replying to all recipients when emailing a coworker back with assistance or corrections can seem condescending, or even aggressive, especially if one of the recipients is a manager or executive. In effect, it's like criticizing the person right in front of their boss. When you are replying to a sender with suggestions, helpful hints, or constructive criticism, start a different thread, or even make a call or desk visit, so that you avoid making him or her look incompetent or incapable.
IV. Ignoring polite salutations in the name of brevity:
When you are rushed, email etiquette can seem an unnecessary formality, especially if you already have an email signature. But leaving out your name at the end of an email is sloppy and rude. It's like exiting a face-to-face conversation by walking away without a "see ya later." You can simply add a "thanks" to your signature and have it auto-populated every time you send a message. This means virtually no additional work for you, and a more polite and professional appearance for your emails.
So, instead of eschewing politeness and risking offense while you are powering through your inbox, take a few additional seconds to make sure your emails are professional. Always keep in mind that emails are not like texting and can reflect negatively on you should you use them as such. With the above quick fixes, you can avoid some common workplace blunders and risking a mark on your reputation.

Sock One was born in the International Airport at Kuala Lumpur. It developed a little in Bangkok Airport before growing up considerably while crossing the Indian ocean and after arriving at its new home in Cologne, Germany. We hit puberty on the A31 heading towards the North Sea. Having been there before,
puberty knitting the Sweet tomato Heel in the car with no instructions, was a doddle. Sock One finally reached adulthood back in Cologne.
Sock Two was born in Cologne and spent its childhood on high-speed ICE trains and in buses and trams. It only got as far as Ludwigshafen, 160 odd miles to the south of Cologne and Kassel, 150 miles to the north east but 250 miles by train! Its development was slow but steady. There were no growing pains and Sock Two turned out to look a lot like Sock One.
We finally reached maturity yesterday and this well-travelled pair took a car, a tram and a bus journey – on my feet!

Self care as the name suggests if installed on mobile one expects this application to be handy in using an Operators services without the need to call customer care numbers or visit Relationship centers for any query related information. This not only benefits Customers but also reduce the traffic to human handled customer service if provided properly. Now, Let us see how our top class operators are achieving this using their self care applications and what these applications are really providing.
So, we at TT took that pain with days of hard work, compiled the feature functionality of all the available self care apps and presented a first of it's kind info-graphic here, I know it's long but i promise its worthy.
As promised this time i came up with Our Take as well so as to express my views on how ideally a self care app can be built so that customers have that WOW factor + Service factor.
Error1: Clicking on recharge throws error most of the times and Recharge section has no updated info on benefits available to customers.
Error2: I was still wondering whats that Convention of Data Balance is! Still now i was in a belief that the branding has completed long back – Hutch is now Vodafone! But after seeing this one gets a doubt "is Vodafone still not able to forget those good old memories?" 🙂
Play Store issues: 1.BSNL have at least tried to mask the details in most of the screenshots uploaded in play store but we guess that they didn't notice a screenshot has details which need to be masked behind the popup. We highlighted in yellow.
2.Airtel didn't even care to mask the mobile number which was visible in the application screenshots. We masked it in yellow. We don't know who is the victim as a result of this ignorance in masking but we guess some one have verified and given approvals.Wondering how a screenshot which is revealing mobile number has passed out of approvals 🙁
We will now just have a look at various statistics on Google Play App Store as well: You can Observe the App Updated dates yourself.
Dear Readers have you used the Self care apps of any of these operators? How do you feel about the Qos and the services you are enjoying? Do you think applications and services with such quality standards will reach international standards and compete with Services in global markets ? Do let us know your opinions via comments.
Note: Manual Work involved, may or may not be precise. Application may or may not work well on the smart phones and so as the features discussed. Application Working on different android versions and phones is out of the scope of this article. We have tested the applications on latest version of Android with latest version of apps available on store . Do let me know in case of any mistakes, so that it can corrected after verifying.This comparisons doesn't involve any Financial/Money services provided by operators and are strictly confined to self care services. Views expressed here are strictly my personal.

This was a huge hit with my family over the weekend! It literally took me 5 minutes to put it together and then I just let it cook all day. I packed the entire crock pot with me, topped it with my new handy pot bra and dinner was done! If you don't know what a pot bra is then check out the picture or the link. But whatever you do don't google "pot bra." My Mom made some white jasmine rice but you could also just put it over microwaved frozen cauliflower for a lower carb version.
Remember that if you cook your rice the day before, it will have less calories and less carbohydrates. Check out this article to learn more.
Serves 4-5
5-6 Chicken Thighs (boneless skinless)
1 Cup White Onion (roughly chopped )
1 Cup Carrot Slices
1/2 Cup Soy Sauce or Tamari
1/2 Cup Chicken or Beef Broth
1/2 Cup Mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
1/4 Cup Honey or 2 big TBS of brown sugar
1/2 Inch Chunk Ginger (you don't have to chop this)
4-5 Garlic Cloves peeled
1 tsp Chili Flakes
1 Tbs Toasted Sesame Oil
2 Cups Frozen Green Beans or Broccoli
Green onions chopped for garnish
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
1 TBS Cornstarch to thicken
Turn your Crock on Low.
Toss in the Onion and Carrot and then lay the chicken thighs on top.
Blend everything else in your blender.
Pour it over. Let it cook for about 5-6 hours. Chicken thighs are great because they are inexpensive and forgiving. You cannot overcook them.
15 minutes before serving pour out most of the liquid into a little saucepan. Don't get
too crazy exact about this. Lay the frozen vegetables on top and turn up the heat to high. Put the lid back on.
Dissolve the cornstarch in a bit of cold water. Add to the sauce and bring to simmer while stirring.
If you like you can sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds which are delicious and beautiful. Enjoy!
If you have a smaller family to feed then freeze it for another day!

It was one of the most bizarre stories of late 2011: The arrest of Carmen Tisch for rubbing her butt on, and urinating near, a Clyfford Still painting whose value was estimated in a police report on view below at $60 million -- although that figure was subsequently revised downward to a mere $30 million. She's now been sentenced, and while she didn't earn any jail time, authorities will be keeping an eye on her for some time to come. As we noted in our original coverage, last November marked the grand opening of the Clyfford Still Museum, a facility devoted to the life and work of the U.S.-born abstract-expressionist, who died in 1980. While Still isn't nearly as well known as Jackson Pollock, with whom he's frequently (and superficially) compared, his bold and often big canvases are beloved by critics and adventurous art aficionados alike.
Among the highlights of the Denver collection is a work with the very Still-like moniker "1957-J-No. 2," whose approximate measurements are nine-and-a-half feet by thirteen feet in size. Here's a look at it:
Tisch had quite a reaction to this piece, according to the statement of probable cause on view below. Around 3:40 p.m. on December 29, the document says Tisch scratched the canvas, then struck it repeatedly before leaning against it with her pants down. She then slid to the floor and urinated.
No, none of her yellow-colored liquid actually wound up on the painting. But the cost for restoring the canvas to its former glory was estimated at $10,000. As for why Tisch acted as she did, authorities originally suspected that she was drunk -- and she has indeed been ordered to undergo alcohol treatment as part of her punishment for what's been termed criminal mischief. However, her main sentence is for what's described by the Denver District Attorney's Office as two years of "mental health probation."
In addition, the DA's office notes that a restitution hearing may still be scheduled -- meaning Tisch could be on the hook for the cost of restoring "1957-J-No. 2" to its original glory -- to go along with its newfound notoriety.

I ordered two 128 GB Crucial SSDs from NewEgg and they arrived a few days later (and of course, the price dropped right after I ordered 'em). They are so teeny tiny! They'd fit nicely in a laptop, but I was putting them into my PC. (Used Scotch brand Removable Mounting Squares to stick 'em in. Well, one sticks, the other hangs cuz my power cables are a bit limited ATM.)
I started by putting a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 onto the first SSD. I've been using 10.04 since it came out, and 12.04 is the next Long-Term Support version. Installation was quick and easy and I soon had my first SDD ready for prime time.
I decided for Winders to try the cloning technique that the Transfer Kit (which came with the SSD) recommended. Only to discover that with the software they provided, you couldn't clone a partition onto the drive. (My HDD had been partitioned to an Ubuntu partition of 70GB, a Winders partition of 70GB, and the remainder of the 650GB drive for data.) A bit more searching online and I found a free software that let me clone onto the SDD from just the partition.
So now I had Windows 7 on SSD, but the master boot record was screwed up on it. A bit of googling helped me figure that out, and soon I was booting into Winders. I immediately tested World of Warcrack (the main reason I have Winders on my PC) and it worked.
Today I've been getting e-mail & browser settings working on the new Linux install - e-mail was a bit tougher to do, but when I decided to stick with Evolution rather than switch to Thunderbird (the software that Ubuntu 12.04 ships with), it got a lot easier.
Now I'm working on spreading out the data partition of my old HDD onto the entire drive. Winders Disk Mangler has done it - sort of. It's funny, in Windows you see that the drive is now 650GB, but in Disk Mangler, it's in 3 pieces. All of them are labeled as drive D:, but Ubuntu has had issues seeing it. Hoping a bout with CHKDSK might cure it. (If not, I do have the drive backed up onto my external backup. I'd just prefer it to work outright.)
Regardless of how the CHKDSK goes, my two new SSDs are working great (and very fast - they're not even as fast as they can be since my motherboard is only 3GB/s while the drives are 6GB/s). Yay for new technology! :-)

alvaDesc is the next generation tool for the calculation of a wide range of molecular descriptors and a number of molecular fingerprints.
Molecular Descriptors
Specifically it calculates almost 4000 descriptors independent of 3-dimensional information such as constitutional, topological, pharmacophore. It includes ETA and Atom-type E-state indices together with functional groups and fragment counts. Additionally, alvaDesc implements an extensive number of 3-dimensional descriptors such as 3D-autocorrelation, Weighted Holistic Invariant Molecular descriptors (WHIM) and GETAWAY.
Molecular Properties, Drug-like and Lead-like Indices
alvaDesc provides the calculation of several model-based physicochemical properties such as molar refractivity, topological polar surface area (TPSA), molecular volume estimations, two LogP models (Moriguchi and Ghose-Chippen octanol-water partition coefficient). There is a significative list of drug-like and lead-like alerts including the well-known Lipinski alert index.
Molecular Fingerprints
alvaDesc carries out the calculation of MACCS166 fingerprint, Extended Connectivity Fingerprint and Path Fingerprint and allows the customisation and calculation of the most used hashed molecular fingerprints. The calculation of hashed fingerprints can be tuned not only with respect to the fingerprint size, fragment type and dimensions but even by defining atom and bond parameters considered during fragment identifications (e.g. atom type, aromaticity, the number of attached hydrogen atoms, connectivity). alvaDesc provides the fragments identified during fingerprint calculation as SMARTS strings (SMARTS is a line notation developed by Daylight Chemical Information Systems for representing molecular substructures).
Other Features
One of the most innovative features of alvaDesc is its capability to handle both full-connected and non-full-connected molecular structures, such as salts and ionic liquids. All of the molecular descriptor calculation algorithms provide different theoretical approaches for the calculation of molecular descriptors on such structures.
alvaDesc provides different tools to carry out a first exploration of your molecular dataset:
- molecule structure verification using PubChem services
- molecule structure visualisation and filtering
- Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and correlation analysis
Due to its capability of calculating large numbers of molecular descriptors, alvaDesc provides variable reduction tools, including the fast V-WSP method (variable reduction method adapted from space-filling designs) proposed in "Ballabio, D., Consonni, V., Mauri, A., Claeys-Bruno, M., Sergent, M., & Todeschini, R. (2014). A novel variable reduction method adapted from space-filling designs. CHEMOMETRICS AND INTELLIGENT LABORATORY SYSTEMS, 136, 147-154".
A short video introduction:
The software is 64bit and it's available for Windows, Linux and macOS. It is provided both as an easy to use command line tool and as an intuitive graphical interface.
Related tools
- The perfect tool to prepare your molecular dataset for alvaDesc is alvaMolecule.
- alvaModel creates QSAR/QSPR models starting from an alvaDesc project.
alvaDesc is also available as:
- a set of KNIME nodes. Please check the alvaDesc KNIME Plugin page for more information.
- a Python module. Please check the alvaDescCLIWrapper page for more information.

Great Game Plan, Great Team Effort, Proud of the Team!
Yay IU!
great game by Hulls and the Hoosiers, this effort/fight is what we all expected for the last few weeks. Great to see it these past 2 games. With that being said Wisconsin is a joke, they get all the calls, and Bo Ryan deserved a T at least twice. IU fought hard but could player harder, there is such a thing as smart fouls and IU giving up 5 'and ones' in the 2nd half shows they don't get that yet. If you are out of position and going to foul or get called for a foul you make sure to crush them so they can't put up a shot. All 5 of the 'and one' fouls were weak, Jones, Pritchard, etc. If you are going to foul them, FOUL them hard. That's what Wisc/MSU/PU, etc does….
Yeah, the refs kinda helped turned the tide there in the second half. But, IU is looking like they at least practice now. Still alot of growing to do. Should of had more points in the first half(every poss. is important),need more bench points. I hope they can sustain this effort, and keep moving forward.

Learning About Symmetry
The Children's Museum of New Hampshire's Monday science class offered a group of eleven 3-5 year olds a chance to learn and apply the concept of symmetry.
The museum's Early Childhood and Literacy Coordinator, Meredith Brustlin led the Junior Science Explorers class, offered by the museum on Mondays from 1:30 to 2:15pm.
Meredith first gathered the group together and explained the concept of symmetry using images of butterflies, lions, and houses. Kids were challenged to identify which images displayed symmetry and which did not.
Following the lesson, the group sat down to a hands-on symmetry activity, allowing them to apply what they had just learned. The kids were given the choice of painting one side of either a butterfly or a bee.
They were then instructed to fold their papers in half, revealing a symmetrical work of art they were free to take home.
Monday Science Classes Offer a Bonus!
The Children's Museum of New Hampshire in downtown Dover offers a variety of weekday science classes for preschoolers, as well as homeschoolers but is now offering parents an added bonus during a Monday science class.
The museum's popular Junior Science Explorers class for kids ages 3.5-5 is now being offered on Mondays, a day the museum is closed to the public. Families who have a museum membership can not only sign up their kids for the class, but any younger siblings can now join parents on the 2nd floor of the museum to play in the exhibits while their older siblings are in class. This is a benefit that's exclusive to museum members and is only offered while the Monday class is in session.
This November's Junior Science class theme is "Incredible Animals" and will invite junior scientists to explore habitats, animal tracks, survival techniques and more. The class runs Mondays, November 6 through December 11 from 1:30-2:15pm.
These 45-minute structured science classes are $60 for Members and $70 for Non-members. Pre-registration is required. Call 603-742-2002 to register.
Junior Science: Water
By Meredith Lamothe
Welcome to the Junior Science Explorers blog!
We will share here some of the projects, experiments and concepts that we explore in the Junior Science classes, which are designed for ages 3.5-5.
Keep learning, Keep exploring.
JUNIOR SCIENCE: Water!
Water is amazing. Everything that is alive depends on water. Water can exist in THREE different states. Some things float in water, while other sink. There's so much to learn and experiment with when it comes to water.
During class, we filled our sensory table with water and then each student chose items to place in the water. There were lots of items to choose from. We gently placed them into the water and saw if they sank or floated. We asked ourselves "What are the forces at work here?" The first was gravity—a cork falls to the ground when it is outside the water because of gravity, but stays afloat in the water because of another force–buoyancy! You can remember buoyancy by calling it "bouncy buoyancy" (say that five times fast). Buoyancy keeps things afloat or "bouncing" on the water.
The River Model in our Cochecosystem exhibit is a perfect place to talk about evaporation. You can visit any river, lake, pond or even a puddle to talk about how water evaporates thanks to the Sun and wind.
The concept of density goes well with the Sink or Float experiment. You can make glitter bottles to show that the water and the glitter have the same density, which is why the glitter stays afloat when the bottle is twirled.
Fluffy and Baron by Laura Rankin is a great story to use to talk about how ducks float in the water and therefore have buoyancy.
Science Art
Junior Science: Ages 3.5-5
By Meredith Lamothe
Hello Science Families!
We're halfway done with this session of science–I say it every time, but it always surprises me when we get to this point!
Today was all about opposites in junior science class!
We specifically focused on BLACK and WHITE! It was fun to talk about alllllll the many colors that we've learned about and all the shapes and then to step back and look at something as simple as black and white.
We talked about how black and white are opposites and some other things that are opposite (UP and DOWN, Smooth and Bumpy, Left and Right, Open and Close!)
ACTIVITY #1: Floating Crayons
Then it was onto our first experiment! We explored crayons! We wanted to see if a bunch of crayons on our trays would SINK or FLOAT (opposites!) We dropped in crayons–which made a great splash sound!–and then observed what they did. We noticed something very odd. All of our crayons were sinking EXCEPT our black crayons! Those floated!
We learned that black crayons float because the pigment used to make the black color isn't as heavy as the pigments used to make the other color crayons.
Then we tried to see if there was anything on our table that might help the other crayons float. We couldn't find any floaties or pool noodles–but we did see some salt. What would happen if we added salt to our water? WE tried it! After we added a whoooooole bunch of salt, all of our crayons started to float! We learned that this was because we were changing the density of the water and making it a lot easier for the crayons to float–just like it's easier for us to float in the salt water of the ocean!
ACTIVITY #2: Black and White Process Art
Our next activity was experimenting with black and white paints. We started by using a little brush and trying out some black paint. Then we used a BIG brush and added some white paint. Those become gray! We kept experimenting, added some collage pieces, and just paint, paint painted!
(This photo is from Pinterest, but our paintings used the same idea!)
Our paintings were still veeeery damp at the end of class, so we'll have to take them home next week–they're looking more and more interesting as they dry!
See you next week!

YEMEN/2018/North Yemen: living under daily coalition airstrikes
Since December 2017 the international coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates has intensified its airstrikes against the Houthis in northwest Yemen, leaving the inhabitants more exposed than ever.
Just a few kilometres from the frontline is Haydan village in Saada governorate, a mountainous region with almost no medical facilities. The endless barrage of airstrikes has made transport here extremely challenging.
In March 2017, Médecins Sans Frontières teams returned to the hospital in Haydan that had been bombed and destroyed by Saudi warplanes in October 2015. MSF teams provide healthcare to isolated communities in Haydan as well as the remote surrounding area.

Great Ideas for Obtaining Chiropractic Treatment
Spinal injuries and complications are very delicate and they can be solved to be healed through carrying out a number of treatment methods. This is more important where the person has had some spinal and bones disorders or even when the body muscles have dislocated. The spinal pain maintenance is mainly done by administering the chiropractic treatment to the patients so that they are able to recover from the pains. It is mainly done through getting involved in physical exercises and getting body, muscles alongside many other practices that have to be carried out under the supervision of a professional practitioner. One can view the website for the articles or even the videos that will provide the necessary information towards achieving good nerve health.
Persons and even the organizations that have specialized in the administration of this exercise have developed their own websites from where they are able to reach out the advertisement of their services to the public domain. the website platform enables them to reach out to as many people as possible over large areas. it is at these websites where one can get to read more on what chiropractic care is all about and even find out more of the benefits that the patients enjoy after paying for the service. There is a comment section that allows the people clarify any matter that they may be having. The people who have an experience on how the service is all about can now be able to leave their satisfactory remarks in that section.
People who are interested in getting more information concerning the chiropractors can be able to visit the websites for further clarification and understanding. It is through the links to the websites that the interested people are able to arrive to the web pages. If at all the people need clarification on some matter, they can read the online posted articles to get more info. Many people may assume that chiropractic care is a very painful activity and hence may fear trying to get the service. Others worry more about the long-term effects that may result from the therapy and some worry about the total time that the exercise will take.
More about chiropractors is that they are there to ensure that they will relieve the patients from their pains in their bodies. However, the patients are the main active participants in the health restoration process only that they need to be coached. Although the process may be slow, it does not incorporate many painful experiences.
The chiropractic care officers have to be licensed by the health officials.

Although the enthusiasts that are testing Windows 7 have been generally positive on the product itself, some feel Microsoft has been less than eager to receive constructive criticism.
The issue came to a head last month in regards to changes Microsoft was making to make its controversial user account control feature less annoying. While the company did eventually make some shifts to address security concerns raised by testers, for some, the notions has lingered that Microsoft just isn't all that interested in user feedback.
For its part, Microsoft is now trying to make a challenging point. It is trying to reassure the hundreds of thousands of people testing Windows 7 that their feedback matters. Engineering Chief Steven Sinofsky wrote a lengthy blog posting on the subject asserting that Microsoft takes in every piece of feedback it gets. At the same time, it is also true that the vast majority of suggested changes won't make it into the final version.
There are a number of factors at play. First of all, while the loudest chatter right now is coming from hard core techies, Microsoft is also designing for a broader audience that includes tech novices and first-time computer users as well as businesses, whose needs are also different. In some cases, Microsoft is making choices for the many, even though they may irk the few.
Second, although Microsoft is paying attention to all of the e-mailed suggestions, it is also keeping a close eye on what its hard data is showing--it gets reports on what is and isn't crashing. Many of the things it is most actively working to fix are the kinds of things that are affecting a broad swath of the user base.
Finally it is getting a little late in the game. Microsoft has already pronounced the beta version as feature complete and the bar is quickly raising as to what types of issues would actually merit a design change at this point.
"We are toward the end of the process," said Mike Angiulo, who leads the Windows PC Ecosystem and Planning team.
But some might say their feedback was never really solicited. After all, it was only last October that Microsoft first offered a test version of Windows 7 to a broad public audience.
Part of the underlying discrepancy, I suspect, is also an expectation gap. While it's probably true that Microsoft is open to feedback, the level of changes that it is interested in making probably differ from the kind of suggestions many people are interested in offering.
Microsoft does look for broader input, but it tends to solicit that earlier in the process and from a more limited group, such as the 3,600 people that went through Windows 7 usability testing as part of the product planning process.
That's not to say Microsoft isn't making any changes between the Windows 7 beta that was released in January and the release candidate version that will be made publicly available at some point in the not-to-distant future. However, the changes may seem minor and relatively few and far between.
One of the tweaks that Microsoft expects to make, for example, is to slightly shrink the size of the icons on the new taskbar to aid enthusiasts that want lots and lots of programs to reside there. For another, Microsoft plans to add a number of keyboard shortcuts that map to various new elements of Windows 7's graphical user interface. That's the kind of change that is easy to make, because those that want it can use them while everyone else won't even know they are there.
"That's a no-brainer," Angiulo said.

Brigitte Bardot, also known as B.B., was an important figure in the 1950s and the '60s. She was a popular French actress, singer, dancer, fashion model, and was even an animal rights activist. Aside from her talent, she also exuded a very sexual appeal, which gave her the moniker, "sex kitten." In other words, nasa kanya na'ng lahat, girl.
She's a mirror of women today, especially with her being known for liberation. She's not all pa-sexy–she had been involved in some political arguments, and she's an innovator in fashion as well, with the Bardot neckline and the Bardot pose named after her.
Now we'll have a take on who we think represent the B.B. aesthetics well enough, and on the sideline, a collection of scents which will help you remind of the flair and intensity that is Brigitte Bardot.
Here's the German actress and model Claudia Schiffer who emulates the enigma of Bardot with her alluring appeal. The Seduce cologne is a perfect fit for this type of women.
Lara Stone, a prolific Dutch model, gives out the aura of Brigitte's fierce, young, and adventurous personality, and wearing the Moment perfume will definitely help capture these personalities.
Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen embodies the grandeur of Brigitte Bardot, and radiates the exquisite womanly features that made B.B. the icon that she is. The Kiss perfume lets you share that vibe that only a few can attain.
Personalities like Brigitte Bardot celebrate the wonders of being a woman, and the right choice of perfume for your wardrobe helps a lot in finding your confidence so you can be the best woman you can be.

The impressive Mene & Moy Yellow Peel Lip Balm is a two-step treatment that helps to improve the volume and appearance of the lips without the use of injectables.
One side contains the Yellow Lip Peel, an intensely conditioning and refining anti-aging treatment while the other side contains the Barrier Lip Protector which contains an SPF to defend the lips against UV exposure and environmental stressors. When used regularly the volume of thinning lips is increased, the natural colour of the lips is restored, wrinkles are smoothed and dryness is eliminated.
Use the Yellow Peel on lips once a day and follow with the Barrier Protector. This can be reapplied throughout the day to maintain hydration and must also be applied every night for best results.
Phase 1:
Continue until the desired volume and healthy appearance is achieved.
Phase 2:
After completing Phase 1 above apply the Barrier Lip Protector Cream several times a day for the next 2-3 days and ALWAYS at night.
To maintain the results continue to apply the Yellow Peel Balm indefinitely 2-3 times a day. Use Barrier Lip Protection as required whenever the lips feel dry or sensitive.
Do not use during pregnancy, if suffering from cold sores active or latent. Not to be used on broken or damaged skin on or around the lips.
If you are new to this product or any of its ingredients, we recommend completing a patch test first.
When using Retinol for the first time, it is important to allow the skin time to acclimatise to the active ingredient. Apply a small amount in the evening no more than twice a week, never on consecutive evenings, for at least two weeks. If the skin hasn't suffered any extreme irritation or redness, start to increase the number of applications gradually over a period of weeks until you reach a number your skin is comfortable with. This could range from three nights to seven nights a week.
As Retinol can make the skin sensitive to sunlight, always apply a sunscreen to the skin every morning to prevent sun-induced inflammation and damage.

Mercury Marine continues to power the pontoon market
OREANDA-NEWS. August 24, 2016. It's no secret that the pontoon market has been the fastest growing boat segment over the past 12 months. According to the NMMA, the pontoon segment grew eight percent in 2015 and is on pace to match the same growth 2016. Boaters around the globe are migrating to higher horsepower engines for their pontoons, forcing many to declare -- "this isn't your grandfather's pontoon anymore."
See how Forest River and Mercury Marine have helped spur that growth in a new video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN1BlERYHgw
"It's really driven by the consumers through our dealer network across the country and Canada," said John Sweeney, Forest River marketing director. "If you look at just the sheer numbers of percentages, we're installing more Mercury product on our pontoons than any other brand."
"In my mind, that Verado puts something quiet and smooth on the back of the boat," said Barb Niedergerke of Glencove Marina in Missouri. "It has the performance, the hole-shot, and the top end. It has everything that that pontoon boater is going to need."
Boat builders have been enjoying the pontoon wave as SSI data shows that new U.S. pontoon registrations have increased every year from 2009 until today.
"The growth of the pontoon market has been great for Mercury Marine," said David Foulkes, Brunswick Corporation's Vice President & Chief Technology Officer and vice president – product development, engineering and racing. "Our mid-range offerings as well as our high horsepower outboards are an ideal power option for pontoons, and we expect that growth to continue."
"We've got these wonderfully made boats with attention to detail and then we are able to put this power on the back that really gives our customer this nice package," said Niedergerke. "It has a good warranty & good performance; it's just a really good match."

Billion-dollar shapewear brand Spanx has hired Nike's head of apparel as its new CEO -- a canny move as the company expands into everyday streetwear and opens more brick-and-mortar stores.
Jan Singer will join Spanx in July, reporting to founder Sara Blakely, the world's youngest self-made female billionaire.
Before heading up Nike's clothing arm, she was vice president of global footwear at the Oregon-based sports giant. Singer managed Reebok's women's business and held senior comms positions at Chanel, Calvin Klein and Prada before taking her first job at Nike a decade ago.
Sara Blakely took a back seat running the day to day business at Spanx years ago, having hired Coca-Cola executive Laurie-Ann Goldman to oversee the fledgling undergarment line in 2002.
Goldman stepped down this past February, leading to speculation over whether she and Blakely clashed over a timeline for an IPO for the company, which makes in the region of $300 million in revenues annually but has never taken outside investment to fuel growth.
Blakely described Singer's decade of experience in beauty, shoes and apparel as making her "the perfect fit for Spanx."
"I'm confident that she will transition from the locker room to the fitting room seamlessly," she said.
Blakely joined Forbes' World's Billionaires list in 2012 at age 41, having founded the Atlanta-based hosiery brand at 27 out of her apartment.
In 2013 she became the first woman on the rich list to join Warren Buffett and Bill Gates' Giving Pledge, vowing to give away the majority of her wealth within her lifetime.

HerefordshireUnited Kingdom
I trained as a textile designer at Falmouth School of Art and worked in the industry for the United Turkey Red Company. In the 1960s I designed and hand embroidered silk shirts and kaftans for 'Mr Fish' in London.
In the 1980s I studied printmaking at Hereford College of Art and more recently at West Dean College and the Sidney Nolan Trust. Since becoming a printmaker my work has become more illustrative and incorporates a love of pattern and texture, which have always been important elements for me. The subject matter is often influenced by classic legends and fairy tales and typically features natural forms including animals, birds and mythical beasts.
I use several printmaking techniques which include etching, screen-printing, collagraph, wood engraving and linocut.
I am a member of the Hay Makers, a co-operative of local designer makers, situated in the world famous book town of Hay-on-Wye.
My work is in private collections throughout Europe and also in Australia, Canada and the U.S.A.

February 2013 might — might — signal a real watershed in NC history. The legislature and governor seem to be willing to face the fact that many government programs are based on delusions.
As noted in the Civitas Review post below, the governor came out today in favor of halting Medicaid expansion as long as the program is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars each year. And the legislature seems willing to move on reining in unemployment spending.
Thom Tillis addressed the Medicaid problems in his news conference today. (Medicaid discussion begins at about 2:40.) He noted that the State Auditor, a Democrat, had found that those hundreds of millions had been churned through a wasteful and inefficient program.
He added that current efforts to stop the expansion Medicaid are more about setting a tone, about setting expectations, at this stage. So it's a start. But the problem is obvious: If there's a hole in the bottom of your fishing boat, you don't dump more buckets of water into it, till you've fixed the hole.
And the sudden move to hyperinflate Medicaid has other ill consequences. Look at California, a state that did take the bait and plans to fully implement Obamacare. It will be facing a severe shortage of doctors, the Daily Caller reports.
The Los Angeles Times reports that only 16 of the state's 58 counties meet the federal government's recommended standard of primary care physicians, and almost 30 percent of California's doctors are close to the retirement age — the highest percentage nationwide.
According to the Caller, even one Democrat legislator realized belatedly "What good is it if they are going to have a health insurance card, but no access to doctors?"
Let's hope our leaders keep their resolve to fend off this disastrous plan.
The Obamacare implementation will be a nightmare. NC is well advised to stay out.
Much the same goes for the federal unemployment boondoggle.
Tim Phillips, national president of Americans for Prosperity, spoke today at the John Locke Foundation. He noted that the state can't count on the feds keeping their promises. After all, they've promised over and over to rein in spending.
As he and we have noted, there's no free money from Washington. In fact, there's no money at all. Washington has to borrow 40 cents of every dollar it doles out.
Washington isn't giving out real money — it's giving out wheelbarrows of $13 bills, all with Joe Biden's picture on them. The Old North State should refuse to be taken in by this con game.
