Upgrade To Windows 7
Hi, Left it a bit late, but planning on updating Windows Vista Home Basic to WIndows 7....first things first, I have checked that my computer is ''up to it''......it is......I plan to borrow an installation disc from a friend, what I need to know, is will the product code or key with the disc work ?......or does the upgrade work by using the old Vista product code ?......any help with this installation appreciated.......Del.
|My System Specs
|01 Mar 2016
Are you upgrading from Vista with a upgrade disc ?
Or are you doing a clean install of Windows 7 ?
If your friend has already used the key then you can`t use it.
Answering the above questions will help to determine your options.
Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
|My System Specs
|01 Mar 2016
I was going to do a clean install, I did wonder about using the disc more than once......so only option then is to buy my own copy of Windows 7 ?......it is still available and reasonably priced......what has confused me is that I upgraded from 8.1 to Windows 10 for free on my main computer......obviously this is not possible upgrading to 7 from Vista.
|My System Specs
|01 Mar 2016
10 is free if you have Windows 7 SP1 installed or 8.1 Not Vista
The only thing you`ll find today is Windows 7 OEM (which is fine)
You can use your friends disc all you want, but you need a key of that particular version to activate it.
|My System Specs
|01 Mar 2016
Thanks for that.....thought as much....I think a purchase is in order.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2016
O.k, So are these ''free'' activation keys that I see on various sites, from decommissioned machines, any good ?.....and will they actually work ?.......or is there really no free way to upgrade to Windows 7 ?......I don't mind paying to upgrade, just exploring all the options.......Del.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2016
There is no free way to upgrade, and I would not buy a key from some website.
You have to find a good retailer in your area.
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - Newegg.com
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit - Operating Systems - Newegg.com
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2016
Thanks for that, I can get Windows 7 installation disc, OEM for 32bit with product key, for £24:99 at Amazon.......I think that is the way forward.......my ''friend'' still says that he can install Windows 7, and get it working using his disc........how could he do that without activation key ?........Del.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2016
Windows 10 Pro x64 x3, Ubuntu
I would expect to pay nearer to $150 or UK equivalent (£150 ), than the price you are quoting, there are a lot of fakes on the net Even at normally reliable sites such as amazon - try to obtain a shrink wrapped cased product where the actual Key is not visible before opening, (visible keys and opened packaging normally indicate that the key has already been used), that the the only way to be sure - we have had a few members caught by scammers so best be very careful, make sure you get a seller on Amazon that Amazon guarantees, so if the package is re-used or even fake you only lose time
As for your friend's suggestion that you use his disk, it is likely to be a pirate disk and could be complete with extras, the sort that steals your passwords and empty your bank accounts.
of course the use of a pirate copy of software is nothing short of plain theft, so those that do this deserve everything bad that happens to them
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2016
O.k, Thanks for that, I guess that I need to research this a bit more, I don't want to end up with a pirate copy or anything......Del.

by Gen on Jan.25, 2010 @ 2:28 am, under NPB
Seibu Lions
...Yusei Kikuchi tossed a 30-pitch bullpen session on Sunday.
Osamu Higashio watched the bullpen session and later told reporters that he thought Kikuchi was pitching at a higher level than Daisuke Matsuzaka was at this stage in his career.
Kikuchi wasn't feeling quite as good about his session, saying that he still needed to work on his mechanics.
...The last day of rookie mini camp is January 27th.
Softbank Hawks
...Kenta Imamiya rejoined the team on Sunday after taking a leave of absence to take some high school exams (he left after practice on the 21st). In order to keep his body fit, Imamiya apparently worked out for 2 hours each day he was away from the team.

The Chinoiserie Dressing Room- Tory Burch
The zigzag or chevron on the island here is amazing, isn't it? I also love all the pops of orange and the mirrored vanity. Not really Chinoiserie, but I'm giving this one honorary Chinoiserie status.

Why? Donald Duck doesn't live under water. He's a duck not a frog.
Deadpool is depressed because life never goes his way. Donald is depressed because life never goes his way. Deadpool has fits of rage. Donald has fits of rage. Deadpool has a bastard daughter to raise. Donald has to raise his sister's 3 bratty sons. Deadpool lives in the shadow of more heroic heroes like Cap. Donald lives in the shadow of more kind hearted characters like Mickey.
Deadpool IS Donald Duck...just with Deathstroke's profession, Wolverine's powers and Spider-Man's look

The first thing I did was create a board on Boardmaker. Some examples of what I used on this board was circle time, outside play, speech with Mrs. Kristin :), trains (he is obsessed!), snack, nap time, lunch, computers, etc. After the board was printed, I laminated the sheet and a file folder. Then I cut out the pieces into individual squares.
Then I took the foler, closed it up, and stapled it closed on 2 sides to make a pocket. The pocket is where I keep the square pieces when they are not being used. I also attached a strip of velcro to the board for the pieces to stick. Since schedules are always changing, this make it easy to adjust.
Now he has his visual schedule ready to go! Since it is velcroed, you can used as many pictures at a time as necessary. Even just using 2 at a time to show him, "First play with the trains, then clean up." or "First speech with Mrs. Kristin then snack time." helps eliminate the stress during transitions. My hope is that there will be less screaming and crying when I have to take him away from a desired activity! Have a wonderful Friday eve!! :)

I really haven't been posting to this enough, probably because my laptop has been messing up but I do enjoy it so I should do more. I thought I'd give you a brief overview of things at the moment. The first week or so of the summer holidays I felt really at a loss, without a job and being off school for so long it was kind of like I have so much free time and I should be enjoying myself because it's the summer holidays but I just wasn't in particular. At the moment I feel much better, I now have a job which means money which is always nice, there are so many things I want at the moment, I might make a post about it, a couple of bags, some clothes and jewellery I have my eye on. Also it was my birthday yesterday (I'm now 17) which was so lovely. I had to work most of the day but then I went out for a meal with my friends and it was so nice, just really good company and food and presents, everything was just lovely.
I didn't have any plans in particular today so I've just been in watching terrible TV which was nice and relaxing but I do have work tomorrow, it's only a 5 hour shift though which, compared to my consecutive 9 hour ones, seems pathetic.
I just feel much better about everything at the moment so I shall attempt to post more often,
All my love,

Seeds and roots,
The idea of dormancy as a beautiful part of the growth cycle. The mystery and miracle of seemingly inert seeds and roots responding to an unseen signal, and knowingly emerging with perfect timing for renewal.
Relationship between Creator and creature, the piece that turns mystique into personally meaningful. This months musings are sprouting across a crack in the fine line between "self-love" and "self-worth".
Not pampering yourself because "you deserve it", or "you've earned it", but because you are WORTH it! and you always have been. It's unconditional, undeserved, and the the most basic and necessary thing, for us, for the seasons of growth in our world,
I am making 8 boxes this month, based on seeds and roots, nettle, hemp seed oil, chia seed, carrot seed, burdock, rosehips, milk thistle, and mustard. I am sorry I can't describe what is inside, that is part of the fun!!
You can contact me at email@example.com for more information

As you know, I'm in the (very sloooow) process of designing my new website and blahhhg. Below are screenshots of the designs thus far… what do you think? Comments, criticisms and praises welcome!
ETA: I'll be using both designs (the peacock and the retro). The peacock theme will be for my more professional site at lindsaygoldner.com, and then the blog will be linked to from there but might eventually have its own domain. I like the retro design on the blog, since it'll be more diy/decor/design focused!
Soooo… what do you think so far?

closeout oakley sunglasses
2017 Oakley Lifestyle Eyewear 25067 Black Frame Grey Lens
Oakley Lifestyle Eyewear 25067 Black Frame Grey Lens for Cheap:There are a variety of Oakley sunglasses available for both men and women, in a range of styles and materials.These vary from oversized women's frames to sporty designs with MP3 players built in. Whatever your requirements ...
Any suggestions 2) NO SPAM: (That includes Amazon referral number spam).
This subreddit is about sharing ideas and product suggestions, solicitation will ruin it and turn this subreddit into an advertisement or catalog. Spam will be removed and the submitter banned. 3) CIVILITY : This subreddit is about what people consider valuable enough for them to carry on a daily basis. There wil be no name calling, insults, or condesencion based on what people carry in their pockets. If your orange oakleys comment was removed, it probably because you being a dick. There is currently a ban on any account two days old or younger from posting comments or links. This is to prevent spam. Please do not message the mods asking for your post to be approved. Be patient and repost/comment once your account is two days old. That being said, for flashlights, check out foursevens, eagletac, and nitecore. When looking, think about YOUR needs. I recently ordered the nitecore SRT3, with the fact that it is pocket size, has a rear button, and multiple light modes (turbo, moonlight, and everything in between) driving my decision. For a multitool, oakley mens sunglasses I don think you can go past the Leatherman brand. But the right one for you depends on your needs. Knowledge about pens isn my thing, sorry. I hope some of that is helpful. Go through the top posts of all time, here, in /r/EDC/. Any suggestion for a flashlight? I heard some good reviews of Surefire and some other ones that can come to mind right now. As for pens, I been looking at the Fisher space pen, but have also been looking at some bolt action pens or maybe even a fountain pen (or both). I like the way fountain pens write but also like the tactical features of a closeout oakley sunglasses bolt action such as the glass breaker in case of emergencies. I know nothing about wallets, so any suggestions of some nice leather or maybe carbon fiber wallets would be nice. Thanks for the suggestions!I recently bought a Citizen BM8180 03E Eco Drive and it simple oakley racing looking, but it waterproof to 100 meters, solar powered, and has crown guards which is nice. The crown guards were actually a major thing for me since I wear my watch when I sleep. It was $85 on Amazon before, but it has gone up now. I carry a Streamlight Stylus Pro which is a 2xAAA so its rather thin, but still decently bright. Might be a bit long depending on how deep your pants pockets are. It a bit shorter than a regular Papermate ball point pen though. I have a Saddleback leather wallet. The business card one I think.? Nice and small which is good for front pocket carry. It runs off 2 AAA and has multiple settings. Surefire makes some real solid lights but they really expensive. If you want a kind of cheap Surefire, the G2X is really affordable. As far as pens. Really just buy a pen that writes well. A tactical pen won really help in most situations and is unnecessarily bulky and heavy. If you want something to break glass. Buy a specialized tool made for it. Like the ResQMe and it has a seat belt cutter. Wallets, I don really remember where I got my leather wallet. It just a generic black leather wallet. Sorry, I don really know much about them. Watches, as far as watches. The reason I swear by the Timex Weekender is how cheap it is and it waterproof and looks amazing.
It comes in a lot of colors and different types of straps. I like it so much more than my G Shock. Which I only wear it on hikes and when I doing more rigorous activities, because it pretty tough.

Congratulations to all students who auditioned for next year's choirs. Everyone did a GREAT job! Please understand that we hold auditions for a reason. There are so many talented and hard-working students in our department; therefore, it is easier for a judge to make a decision based on your audition than for Mr. Flanery and Ms. Wragge to choose.
Please know that we understand that some of you will be disappointed with the results. Remember that your parents were not in your audition nor the audition of every other student. Please come talk to us this week if you would like to discuss your placement.
We are very proud of all of you and are excited about the direction of the department. Thank you for all of your hard work! We appreciate you!
Dr. Flanery and Ms. Wragge

A simple telling of History.
Over a millennia ago, on a fateful day during an eclipse of the sun, the old gods abandoned Eberr. Without warning or explanation they forfeited the world to the Shadow, and the empire of humankind was left unprotected.
The war that immediately followed was swift. The ancestors of the Karh'thul were viscious in their want of genocide, having been prisoners in their dark underworld for so long.
Not thousands, but millions of humans were slaughtered in all the known lands. Kingdoms shattered quickly under the over-powering numbers of demons. And all civilization broke down with humans fleeing to the four corners of the world for safety. They sought refuge in the mountains, the forests and even the underground from which the devil had spawned to escape them.
Many more subsequently died, hunted down like dogs and ripped of their flesh. The time of man was to flicker out like a spent candle as decades past without any hope of redemption.

But a flame of hope reignited mankind's promise here in the heartland of SafeHaven. A flame that had waited to gain strength so as not to waver in the wind of war found purchase in this valley, and spread hope like wildfire across the meadows.
For amongst the remaining humans was a living immortal. A man once forgotten, the last soul to be blessed by the departing Gods. For he did not age, he did not succumb to the various diseases chasing the humans almost as ferociously as the Karh'Thul. And because of this, the experience he gathered over the centuries before and after the downfall of civilization was contained within him.
And he had complete control of the sorcery.
Post by:
January 03, 2008, 01:00:55 PM
Through centuries of meditation and a dedication to maintain his own compassionate heart, he was able to control the dark magic of the Karh'Thul, the sorcery so long ago since banned. And used it well he did, against the very beasts that created it and its destructive misery in our world.
Kaine, Our Protector, stepped out of the darkness and claimed the land we stand on as his own. Using both sword and sorcery, he fought for years to hold a spot of land no bigger than the base of the Spire. Alone, he fought day after day the demons and their foul minions that would come into this land, eventually setting up the first barrier against them. Our sacred First Wall.
Using the love within his own heart, he transformed the black magic. Subverting and reversing its power to a Holy Flame of Protection. The very same Holy Flame we use today on the torches of the Outer Rim, were once upon the torches of our First Wall at the heart of this very city.
This is why our soldiers stand vigilant upon the flame of each and every torch, for it is the blessed divine magic gift from Kaine that protects us still. It is this Holy Flame that is our barrier against the anarchy of the outside world. But I digress……
With the creation of the First Wall, Kaine finally found a measurement of peace. For it was a permanent barrier to the darkness and chaos of the outside world. And with confidence, Kaine called to him, all the remaining humans in our world. The few left heard the call, and strong that survived the flight from their hiding refuge to Our-Commons were our first ancestors.
For Kaine, Our Teacher, had to re-educate the down-trodden humans who over the decades had been reduced to almost animals. So with a kind and patient hand, Kaine patiently brought civilization back onto them. Teaching them once again to work the land for food, sew cloth, build homes, nurture livestock and fight not only demons, but the hard land around us in order to survive.

But Our Immortal Father was not done, no. This man, the lone survivor of a human empire that existed centuries before our ancestors, had a mission to retake the very world back from the Karh'Thul. It is our mission still, and we are succeeding in that mission for Our Father.
So as the town of Our Commons grew within the First Wall, as man struggled to survive, Kaine created the Council of Five and the Guardians. Men ready and able to commit War upon our enemies. For it was then, so many centuries ago, the Shadow Delve had been established.
Shadow Delve, a decision of birthright by all humankind and Our Father was the hammer of its might. With his teachings and skill in the art of battle we then, as we do now, fight back to reclaim what is ours. Once each season, a section of the boundary (now called the Outer Rim) is designated for reclamation. Our guardians prepare the border with the machines of War, and the Holy Flame is extinguished along the frontline.
And they always come.
Post by:
January 04, 2008, 12:46:44 PM
As if waiting without memory to any and all previous losses, they leap through the opening in the barrier, intent on flooding our land and extinguishing humankind forever.
But unlike our ancestors before Kaine's teachings, we always stand ready. With steel, powder and the strength of the our God we fight them back, farther into their own world of anarchy. And we claim the new land for our own, to cleanse and purify and work. As is our birthright.
But once again, back to our history.
As Safe-Haven, our beloved country, expanded beyond the First Wall, a Spire was designed by one of our earliest Architects. Johan was one of the first great minds of the flock, and the intellect behind the design so impressed Our Father, he humbly allowed the monument to be built.
Decades later, Kaine climbed to the top of the Spire, to the rooms constructed especially for him, and claimed them with tears in his eyes. Eyes that even today watch over all of us from above.

Migrants wait to board buses to take them onwards to the train station, from the border crossing in Nickelsdorf, Austria. © Srdjan Zivulovic / Reuters
Citizens of the EU – as in vibrant civil society manifesting in an array of nations - are increasingly keen on ditching the political EU, whose only functioning trait remains its status as a giant market.
The rest is chaos: The euro is now synonymous with massive unemployment; Europeans aged 18-34 qualifying themselves as a "lost" or at least "sacrificed" generation; European "values" diluted by the rise of the populist extreme-right; "pacifism" transmuted into hot and cold war – from Syria to Russia; and European cities, from Paris to Brussels, under Salafi-jihadi assault.
Call it Walking Dead Europe
Walking Dead Europe manifests itself in myriad ways - from a "No" to a referendum in the Netherlands to the creeping possibility of Brexit. Now add to this the ultimate insult a stark fact: What could the EU possibly offer to the world as a vision when it subcontracts the security gates of Fortress Europe to the wily, carpet-dealing antics of Turkey's Sultan Erdogan?
Even avowed Europeanists such as Le Monde – a former great newspaper turned Empire of Chaos-cheerleading rag – are now distilling long essays about the malaise.
As much as the fascination with declining empires may still hold sway (it's so chic to digress about it, Death in Venice-style, sipping Cristal and eating Iranian caviar), seasoned veterans at the European Commission (EU) in Brussels cannot but avow their perplexity when confronted to the EU machine's death wish.
It's always easy to forget that the EU project was born in May 1950 as a common market; common coal and steel rendering impossible a new war between France and Germany, everything guaranteed by the American protector. This de facto American security protectorate implied NATO, from the start, was the real deal - much more than the budding mini-EU expanding under the aegis of Pax Americana and the largely manufactured fear implicit in the Cold War.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the EU incrementally opened its doors to virtually every European newcomer. The official spin was the dissemination of "peace" and those Enlightenment "values". In practice, it meant NATO expansion coupled with zillions of euros to "rebuild" and "modernize" mostly Eastern Europe.
The expansion dementia even reached Turkey and Ukraine – everything micromanaged under NATO's Mob-style protection racket, of course, which now imposes the official Brussels narrative that the New Cold War was launched by "Russian aggression".
And what about those "values"? Germany has just demonstrated, instructively, how they now lie in a funeral pyre - as Chancellor Merkel first opened the doors to the refugee flood unleashed by Ankara just to abruptly close it by de facto killing the right of political asylum.
Cynics are right to argue whether this is in any way any different from Donald Trump and his Wall of Mexico.
Hop on the Thalys to doom
The enlightened debate – say, in Brussels, Berlin and Paris - is whether the Brussels supranational institutions have been rendered terminally inefficient by unruly nation-states. Yet the next minute blame is apportioned en masse to the Eastern Europeans – especially Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – and their practice of "illiberal democracy". Wealthy liberal Western Europe is of course spared.
A practical consequence of this logic, sooner rather than later, would be Berlin deciding to curb aid to Eastern Europe; 15 billion euros a year for Poland alone.
What Eastern Europeans know for sure is that they'd rather go down, but the last thing they want is to leave the EU. In the Polish case, for instance, it would be unrivaled masochism to want to be immolated in a rack controlled, on each side, by historical enemies Germany and Russia.
So the dream of a federal Europe may be dead; what is the EU good for, apart from allowing a proliferation of EasyJets to Club Med destinations? It's true that the system of production in Europe is now too integrated; unraveling it would be immensely costly. Every morning the Thalys trains from Paris continue to be crammed with players who come to do business with the EC. Yet even if the EU survives – two-speed, even three-speed – the euro is a different proposition. If the euro collapses the common market would be destroyed.
According to the Maastricht Treaty, every member-nation pledged to police its own finances. It's not exactly what happened. Now the EU is trying Maastricht upside down – from a creaky banking union to the European Central Bank (ECB) addicted to "massive interventions".
Sharp minds in Brussels admit the euro is on a Catch 22. Without a federal budget, and without "massive aid" from more flush members, austerity – not diamonds – is forever; and the victims will always be the poorest members. So even as Europe cannot get rid of the euro – European banks would be incapable of setting up a rational dissolution – the only way out, that is, further integration, is paralyzed.
Sleepwalking to mediocrity
The tragic Greek financial crisis demonstrated that the troika could impose what amounted to welfare and education "reforms" with absolute impunity over a sovereign state. That represented, in practice, some form of "integration" – but always under the aegis of the troika's "enlightened" despotism. In consequence, Brussels could not but lose even more of its political legitimacy.
Sharp minds at the EC, off the record, admit that the battle over Europe will be, in fact, juridical. The EC is now immersed in a Dadaist make-believe exercise of convincing everyone the Schengen rules still apply. Even if they don't. Even if there's no free circulation inside Schengen anymore. Even if Hungary and Slovakia, for instance, directly contested the decision by the Council of Europe dividing migrants among member states.
And further trouble looms ahead if Germany decides against further eurozone integration in case the German taxpayer must carry an "out of proportion" burden.
Former European commissioner Pascal Lamy is among those deeply vexed by the EU's loss of influence, the erosion of those prized "values", the loss of identity face to face with Americans, Russians and Chinese.
Well, for the War Party in the Beltway, Europe is irrelevant anyway; a sweet and pliable Venus unable to influence Mars. As for the Russians and Chinese – now embarked in a strategic partnership – what matters is to do plenty of good business with Europe, assuming Europeans still know how to identify a win-win. Usually they can't because of many reasons, including ideological myopia, mediocrity and/or plain stupidity displayed by the EU's political leadership.
What lies ahead is not pretty. There is an element of The Sleepwalkers – Christopher Clark's masterful account of how Europe marched to war in 1914. But mostly, a low-budget American show gave away the game. This is Walking Dead Europe.

When I turned on the Republican debate yesterday, one of the moderators was asking a question that noted the fall in stock prices during the past couple of weeks, and continued "if this escalates like it did back when Barack Obama first assumed the presidency, what actions would you take......" As Paul Krugman observed, the question was misleading on several levels, one of which is that stock prices have risen substantially during Obama's time in office. Krugman goes on to say "It would be interesting to poll Republicans about what happened to the stock market under Obama; my bet is that many, perhaps a majority, believe that it went down." Of course, there's a general tendency to perceive the facts in a way that supports your preconceptions, so it would be even more interesting to compare the perceptions of Republicans and Democrats over Republican and Democratic administrations, and I set out to do this.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any questions about how people thought that the stock market had done, but an NBC/Wall St Journal poll taken on September 19-22, 2008 asked "Thinking ahead to a year from now, do you think that the value of the stock market will be much higher, somewhat higher, about the same, somewhat lower, or much lower than it is today?" This was just the time when the financial crisis was getting serious. It hadn't yet affected stock prices, but it was about to: the Dow dropped 25% between September 22 and October 22.
The survey asked the question only of people who said they had at least $5,000 invested in stocks (about half of the respondents). Of those, 42% expected stocks to be higher, 29% about the same, and 22% lower--7% said they weren't sure. As it turned out, the Dow was about 10% lower on Sept 22, 2009 than on Sept 22, 2008, and the Nasdaq composite index was about 2% lower.
The survey also asked about vote intentions. A comparison of expectations by voting intention:
Higher Same Lower
McCain 55% 31% 14%
Obama 36% 31% 33%
Expectations are a combination of two things--what people think about the chances of each candidate winning, and what people think will happen if each candidate wins. The survey didn't ask about those, so it's not possible to say why expectations were different. But for whatever combination of reasons, McCain supporters and conservatives were more optimistic about the stock market. This didn't reflect demographic differences between McCain and Obama supporters: men were a little more optimistic than women, but there were no clear differences by education, income, age, or race.

This particular Omega Speedmaster Racing 145.022-68 was delivered to the USA in 1969. Although there is no paper trace of this, it was later on bought on a US military base in Korea. A very similar Speedmaster Racing was auctioned at the Christie's Speedmaster 50 Auction and fetched $32.500 USD.
When Omega replica watches introduced the Speedmaster in 1957, with their CK2915 reference, it was meant to be a watch for sports people. In a couple of advertisements, Omega pictured the Speedmaster CK2915 on the wrist of a car driver for example. Little did they know then about the Speedmaster becoming the official watch for NASA astronauts almost a decade later.
In the late 1960's, Omega introduced the Speedmaster Mark II Racing. That's the one we all know and it was in the regular collection of Omega in the late 1960's and early 1970's. A bit more vague is the production of these Omega Speedmaster Racing 145.022-68 and similar models from those days. We know that there are roughly three different versions of the vintage Speedmaster with a racing dial:
Black dial, red/white hour markers, metal applied Ω logo (105.003, 145.012)
Black dial, orange/white hour markers, white Ω logo (145.012-67, 145.012-68)

Possibly the BEST Compact Video Camera? GoPro.
August 28, 2010
I can't really say this is a review, hopefully soon I will be able to, since I'm that close to purchasing one of these.
A friend introduced me to this thing, and after seeing the footage it captures, I was sold. Not only does it take photo and video, but it also has the capability to mount on almost anyone, or any surface, which makes it ideal for all types of activities. If you're not already sold, let me do a quick run through of the features:
- It's shockproof
- Waterproof
- 1080, 960, or 720 p
- Full 30 – 60 frames per second
- Its smaller, and lighter than most wallets
- Mounts on almost anything
The only downfall is that there is no viewfinder, or LCD to preview what you're shooting, however it does have a more than ample 180 degree viewing range, which really voids the fact that there is no view finder/LCD. You're able to either purchase the camera by itself, or you can also get it with various mounts, either way you will be spending less than $300.00 for a super versatile gadget that will let you capture anything really.
If you search youtube and type in ' gopro ' you'll have plenty of results to see what it can do.

Technical setbacks cause Iran to falter in push to enrich uranium, report says
Thursday, February 11, 2010
Iran is experiencing surprising setbacks in its efforts to enrich uranium, according to new assessments that suggest that equipment failures and other difficulties could undermine that nation's plans for dramatically scaling up its nuclear program.
Former U.S. officials and independent nuclear experts say continued technical problems could also delay -- though probably not halt -- Iran's march toward achieving nuclear-weapons capability, giving the United States and its allies more time to press for a diplomatic solution. In recent months, Israeli officials have been less vocal in their demands that Western nations curtail Iran's nuclear program.
Indications of Iran's diminished capacity to enrich uranium arise just as the Obama administration begins to take sterner action to compel Iran to abandon enrichment. On Wednesday, the Treasury Department announced new U.S. sanctions against companies it says are affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, a key player in the country's nuclear and missile programs.
While Iran says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful, Western nations suspect that the country is intent on developing an atomic bomb. The program prompts frequent international posturing, such as Iran's announcement last year that it would expand its nuclear facilities tenfold and more recent statements from Western leaders that the time has come to apply tougher international sanctions against the country.
Beneath this rhetoric, U.N. reports over the last year have shown a drop in production at Iran's main uranium enrichment plant, near the city of Natanz. Now a new assessment, based on three years of internal data from U.N. nuclear inspections, suggests that Iran's mechanical woes are deeper than previously known. At least through the end of 2009, the Natanz plant appears to have performed so poorly that sabotage cannot be ruled out as an explanation, according to a draft study by David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS). A copy of the report was provided to The Washington Post.
The ISIS study showed that more than half of the Natanz plant's 8,700 uranium-enriching machines, called centrifuges, were idle at the end of last year and that the number of working machines had steadily dropped -- from 5,000 in May to just over 3,900 in November. Moreover, output from the nominally functioning machines was about half of what was expected, said the report, drawing from data gathered by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
A separate, forthcoming analysis by the Federation of American Scientists also describes Iran's flagging performance and suggests that continued failures may increase Iran's appetite for a deal with the West. Ivan Oelrich, vice president of the federation's Strategic Security Program, said Iranian leaders appear to have raced into large-scale uranium production for political reasons.
"They are really struggling to reproduce what is literally half-century-old European technology and doing a really bad job of it," Oelrich said.
The findings are in line with assessments by numerous former U.S. and European officials and weapons analysts who say that Iran's centrifuges appear to be breaking down at a faster rate than expected, even after factoring in the notoriously unreliable, 1970s-vintage model the Iranians are using. According to several of the officials, the problems have prompted new thinking about the urgency of the Iranian nuclear threat, although the country has demonstrated a growing technical prowess, such as its expanding missile program.
"Whether Iran has deliberately slowed down or been forced to, either way that stretches out the time," said Patrick Clawson, deputy director for research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a nonpartisan think tank.
But analysts also warned that Iran remains capable of making enough enriched uranium for a small arsenal of nuclear weapons, if it decides to do so. Iran has announced plans to build 10 new uranium plants, and on Monday the government said it would begin increasing the enrichment level of some of its uranium, from a current maximum of 3.5 percent to 20 percent. Enrichment of 90 percent is considered weapons-grade.
Some officials suggested that the apparent drop in output could be a ruse, an attempt by Iran to disguise its true capability until it is ready to test a nuclear device. Iran acknowledged last year that it had built a secret enrichment facility inside a mountain bunker near the ancient city of Qom, leading to suspicions that there could be other hidden sites.

'There is no major differentiation among the top 3 players' - Mohan Gopinath
Zee Cinema, the Hindi movie channel from the Zee stable, has seen it all since its inception in 1995. Right from being the uninterrupted ruler to seeing its territory being eaten into by new players like Star Gold and Max, the channel has weathered all kinds of climate. And it continues to be a cash cow within the Zee network of entertainment channels.
According to Zee Cinema business head Mohan Gopinath, there is no major differentiation among the top three players. "We are all battling for the same share of the slice and there is no huge lead to say that this channel is number one as that keeps oscillating," he says.
Gopinath also believes that digitisation would throw open a lot of growth opportunities for the genre. Segmentation of movie channels would be one such area. He also believes that movie acquisitions would have to be in line with the business economics and strategies of the channel. In a conversation with Indiantelevision.com's Javed Farooqui, Gopinath talks about how Zee Cinema has managed to remain steady and relevant all these years despite the rise in competition and the changing consumption pattern.Excerpts:
What are the key takeaways for Zee Cinema from 2012?
The key takeaways were the premieres that we did. We did a premiere of Agneepath, English Vinglish, Agent Vinod and Joker. So those were the kind of refreshed content that was displayed on Zee Cinema. Then we had 'Bollywood's Most Wanted' festival during Dussehra which was a take on glorifying the villains. This has been a good year in terms of imagery and mileage that was displayed on Zee Cinema.
How was the content different from what was offered in 2011?
Refreshing content, that was the difference. We had heavyweight content which had superstars; and we also had English Vinglish which was so strong on content that people didn't mind that it lacked a hero. Besides, we had Agent Vinod and Joker which also had stars which we as a channel could boast about.
Zee Cinema used to rule the roost as numero uno Hindi movie channel but now it is at the second spot on the ratings table?
In a scenario where you have very little to choose from, it is wrong to say that one is at number one or two because there is no major differentiation among the top three players. We are all battling for the same share of the slice and there is no huge lead to say that this channel is number one as that keeps oscillating. So I would like to believe that all three are on an even par and that is where the content resides at this point of time. The important fact is have you been able to maintain a steady base at the level that you were operating on and are you in the game right now because of so many environmental changes where certain channels have taken a huge lead and certain channels have gone off the boil. So a lot of things have happened in the last 45-50 days. It has been heartening to note that Zee Cinema has been rock steady and continues to do so.
Have you seen any drastic changes in the ratings post digitisation?
Not much. In fact competitor channels have fallen by certain points but nothing to suggest that any great upheaval has taken place. So all three are on the same even play. The averages for across the year and the past 13 weeks would seem to suggest so.
How do you think digitization will help Hindi movie channels?
The opportunity for broadcasters is the level playing field. In fact if I am not seen at all, then what is the incentive for me to say that whether I am good or bad. So I think digital (cable) will help cure that ailment in the sense that I will at least be seen. Then you can shout about the uniqueness that you bring to the table. Secondly, it becomes a completely viewer medium. All this while we were catering to a certain type of viewers who was interested in certain kind of movies but who also wanted to see something different. A case in point being classic: it is a very premium category that watches the the Bharat Bhushan's and Dilip Kumar's of the world. The newer generation may not know about them but they have always heard from their parents or grandparents that used to exist. So the quality of song will attract movie watching also. If per se I were to name an Awaara or an Arzoo, it will not ring a bell. But if I sing or hymn a particular song, you will say 'let's see that movie' just to know what is in it that makes my parents rave about them. So that is a huge opportunity of how we can go about things.
You have already segmented the genre with channels like Premier, Action and Classic. Are these channels getting any traction and how do you see them faring in digital era?
We have to wait before we pass judgments on these channels because digital offers good scope. We are on the threshold of something that is about to explode, so in three-four months time we will be able to tell what has happened and what hasn't. We are just waiting on the edge to appreciate it. The availability of these channels have increased. Zee Classic is getting carried across all the DTH operators. So I think that leads to a greater consumption of the channel.
Zee Cinema was not very aggressive in acquiring big-ticket acquisitions but last year you changed gears?
See, it depends on where you are and where you want to be in terms of taking the channel forward. Acquisition for the sake of acquisition will never work as you have to take into account the economics, the kind of strategy that the company has in place and the strategy that you (as a channel) have in place. It was a very informed call that this is the year we are going to make our presence felt in the market. You wouldn't want to be counted out of the race of airing new movies, so that was clear decision and I am happy that it bore fruit.
But viewers also want more of new content on movie channels?
New and fresh content always appeals to the viewer but they do not let go the old content. There is this huge fallacy that viewers only like to watch new content. What is also important is do you have enough back-up content and plans in your kitty that once you are done with your premieres and once you are done with three-four telecasts (of new movies) do you have the library to sustain viewership and that is where the history and pedigree of the channel comes and that is where Zee Cinema is on a good footing at this point. We have a huge library to back-up the newer lot. It is so easy to say that I will buy everything in town but it doesn't work even our competitors would agree it's just a matter of what you have as a back-up plan.
What is the brand philosophy of Zee Cinema?
It carries along the company ethos with it which is that of being a family entertainment channel. We don't want to be counted as a channel that does bizarre stuff and goes beserk with the kind of movies that we air. We have always been a rock steady channel keeping in mind the consumption pattern of the viewer. We believe that what appeals to us at a certain basic primal level will also appeal to viewers. The numbers (ratings) and the kind of response we have generated seems to suggest so.
Have movie consumption habits been changing particularly due to the emergence of new platforms?
It has impacted consumption habits a little bit, but to attribute everything to external factors will also not be right. People initially thought that DVDs would lead to the demise of movie consumption in theatres, but actually you have seen the theatre business grow multi-fold. I think they will co-exist because they are all appealing to a different set of TG.
How do you decide on the scheduling of content?
There is a lot of thought that goes into the scheduling because movie consumption can happen at any time. So am I at any given point satisfying the need of my viewer at that particular point in that particular mood? That is the kind of study that goes into deciding the schedule and acquisition of movies for that particular slot. There are lots of packages that are being done.
Like the branded slots that you have?
A case in point being 'Dopahar Zee Cinema Par' in the month of May. So those kind of things or if there have been new acquisitions that we will have to put into it to give it a different flavour and a different positioning. If I keep on scheduling movies, then not everyone will come to know about it by just running a promo. Here I am giving a different flavour, I am tapping into that aspect of a never before scene or a great content that helps you understand the ethos of the movie or what goes into the making of it.

Data Support Efficacy of Novel Alzheimer's Drug Based on Genetic Risk
New data published in The Journal of the Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease reports on analyses of Phase 3 data for tramiprosate in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. This marks the first data from a large clinical study to correlate efficacy of an amyloid-targeted drug with APOE4 status in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
The efficacy analyses looked at patient subgroups based on the number of ε4 alleles of apolipoprotein E (APOE4). The data showed a gene-dose effect with high-dose tramiprosate 150mg twice daily in patients with two APOE4 alleles (APOE4/4 homozygotes) associated with the greatest clinical benefit. Patients with one APOE4 allele (APOE4 heterozygotes) showed an intermediate benefit, and APOE4 non-carriers exhibited no benefit from tramiprosate. Patients who were APOE4/4 homozygous that received high-dose tramiprosate showed efficacy benefit vs. placebo on both cognitive and functional measures in the Phase 3 analyses.
The cognitive outcome effects were significant at Week 65 (P=0.007) and Week 78 (P=0.043), corresponding to a 66% and 40% benefit from tramiprosate vs. placebo. Functional benefits were also seen at Week 65 with a positive trend favoring tramiprosate at Week 65 (P=0.063) and Week 78 (P=0.21).
Alzheon Inc., is currently developing ALZ-801, an optimized oral prodrug of tramiprosate designed to improve the pharmacokinetic and gastrointestinal tolerability profile, while keeping tramiprosate as the active agent. It is being evaluated as a potential disease-modifying drug in symptomatic Alzheimer's disease patients who are APOE4/4 homozygotes.
Martin Tolar, MD, PhD, Founder, President and CEO of Alzheon said, "To our knowledge, this is the first time that the clinical benefits of an amyloid-targeted agent have been associated with the number of APOE4 alleles in Alzheimer's patients. This new insight shows how we can apply a precision medicine approach in AD and develop this drug for the right patients, namely patients with the APOE4 genotype, which carries the highest risk as well as the earliest onset and faster disease progression."

Ceramide innovation as smooth as satin
February 1, 2016
Towards the end of last year I received an absolutely beautiful parcel from ELIZABETH ARDEN that came in the form of a plated basket containing two new launches from the brand, a luxurious satin pillow case and candles. The whole gift just screamed silky indulgence. Of course I started using the products immediately and couldn't help but feel incredibly skin spoilt. Take note, both these products will launch at Arden counters nationwide on 15 February, so make sure you try them out.
The CERAMIDE REPLENISHING CLEANSING OIL (R495 in 195ml pump action bottle) takes care of removing makeup and impurities as if like magic. It nourishes skin with lipids, omega 3, 6 and 9 as well vitamin E in the shape of a light weight oil that changes into a milky emulsion as soon as it comes in contact with water. I am obsessed with this oil, truly. I rue the day I finish my bottle, but till then I'm completely enjoying the soft and non-greasy feel of my skin after using it. Apricot, safflower and olive oils have anti oxidant, emollient and conditioning properties that make even removing waterproof mascara super easy. Because this oil is so light weight, it will not clog pores and is suitable for all skin types. Massage it into dry skin and wash off with water, upon which it emulsifies and I massaged it to remove makeup and dirt even more effectively. Skin's barrier is beautifully restored, pampered and cleansed with this fantastic new cleansing oil.
The other launch in the brand's Ceramide range is the OVERNIGHT FIRMING MASK (R685 in a 50ml pot) which I'm afraid to say I've almost used up my whole pot. I found myself using it every night and oh my goodness, it's firmly my favorite new overnight leave on mask. The cream has a light feel that applies like silk and spreads easily. While you sleep, it firms, tightens and looks like it also lifts the skin. Specifically developed peptides target your skin's natural collagen renewal process and elastin to make skin look denser. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture during the night and you'll wake up to firmer, renewed and redensified skin. I massaged it over my face and down my neck and went to sleep leaving the work to this amazing mask. Afalfa extract helps boost the skin's natural renewal process, Ceramide Skin Identical Matrix will make the skin's protective barrier stronger, 12 amino acids and minerals support your skin's natural collagen levels and hyaluronic acid binds water molecules in the skin to boost hydration levels and lock them in. Moisture is locked in for up to 8 hours, hydration is increased for up to 24 hours and moisture loss is prevented for up to 8 hours.
Although these products can be used on their own I'd highly recommend using the two together to get the full experience. You'll love the look and feel of your skin, I think you'll end up with both products anyway!
By the way, I wanted to make a special mention of DEAR DEER who was responsible for my super special satin pillow case included in my gift. I used it as the back drop in the picture for this feature because I simply could not leave it out. You might know that sleeping on a satin pillow case will maintain natural moisture in your hair and skin, prevent sleep wrinkles and puffiness, so I'm super excited to be using mine. Visit Dear Deer on www.deardeer.co.za to get more details.

Treasurer Wayne Swan has taken Tony Abbott to task after the opposition leader warned the government was at risk of taking Australia down the European path.
"He hasn't got the faintest clue what is going on in the Australian economy," a spokesman for the treasurer said on Friday.
"And that's just scary."
Earlier Mr Abbott told reporters in London that it was important Australia not follow Europe's economic path.
"If the government cannot move back into surplus swiftly, if the government cannot get its spending under control, if it remains a government that's addicted to spending and taxing and borrowing, that's where we will be headed," he said.
Mr Swan said every time Mr Abbott opened his mouth about the economy he reinforced why he led the weakest economic team Australia has seen in generations.
