Country at Heart is set in rural Australia as well as partly in war torn Afghanistan.
Dean, soldier and farmer I rather liked. He is an experienced soldier, caring of his family and has an affinity with the animals that he works or has worked with in the past. The animals helped make this story heart warming. Dean is deeply affected by his close mate being killed in the line of duty. He has values and he lives by them. The scenes in Afghanistan and with Dean and his family I enjoyed very much.
Summer - I found it somewhat difficult to like her. She believes in yoga and good health and a little of what I would call woo - woo. She has a bad encounter with a guy called Marcus and chooses to keep it under wraps - this comes back to bite her later on. When things go pear shaped she bails out. Okay it all works out, it is a HEA, but if she loves Dean, why doesn't she face up and talk it out first?
When Dean returns for a three week furlough he meets Summer and there is insta-love happening. Ashley over at Nose Graze had an interesting discussion on this aspect of some books, asking why it still exists and I couldn't agree more with her point of view. I found this falling in love straight away a little hard to swallow.
the Afghanistan/Australia setting got my attention but insta-love turns me off.
Yes I can understand instant attraction, but insta-love? No, that takes time!

David's Brinkmanship with the Philistines at Apheq
In I Sam 28 Achish enlists David in his forces for the coming battle between the Princes of Philistine and the Israelites in which Saul meets his end. David's words to Achish are ambiguous, leaving us some wiggle room to believe that David did not actually intend to fight on the Philistine side, but in chapter 29 there is no doubt that David and his men do join Achish in the rendezvous with the Princes of Philistine at Apheq before the march to the Jezreel valley.
At the rendezvous, in 29:3 the Philistines ask Achish what these here "Hebrews" are doing in his forces. Clearly, they do not distinguish between the Hebrews and the Israelites. To them, "they all look the same". Probably as a result of the fickleness described in 14:21, the Philistine princes make it clear to Achish that they will not tolerate any Hebrew presence in their army. Achish sends David and his men back to guard the home front.
How are we to understand this brinkmanship on the part of David? And especially if we view I Samuel as a hidden polemic of the House of David against the House of Saul, how does this incident serve to enhance the image of David? It almost looks as though David was ready to fight, not only against Saul but also against Israel. Although we know that this would not have happened, it certainly does not look good.
david 1-samuel
Eli RosencruftEli Rosencruft
This whole section of Samuel is fraught with intrigue. It starts with 1st Samuel 27 where David takes his family, 600 men, and their families over to join Achish. But David's relationship with Achish is built on a lie: he did not switch loyalty away from his fellow Israelites.
As you point out, David keeps his options open when Achish prepared to join the other Philistines in battle with Israel:
At that time the Philistines mustered their forces for war, to take the field against Israel. Achish said to David, "You know, of course, that you and your men must march out with my forces." David answered Achish, "You surely know what your servant will do." "In that case," Achish replied to David, "I will appoint you my bodyguard for life."—1st Samuel 28:1-2 (NJPS)
David comes off here, as in much of the stories about him, as a man of daring who keeps his wits about him in moments of extreme danger. Ever since he acted insane in Abimelech's court, David seems to be confident of God's intervention in his favor. So the rest of chapter 28 stands in stark contrast: Saul lacks even the courage to visit a medium without disguising himself. He has no confidence in his own ability to make decisions and seeks out the council of the dead.
David, in 1st Samuel 29 and onward, worked both sides against the middle until he established his own kingship. While the Philistines and the House of Saul spent each other's strength in battle, David and his men captured the spoil of an Amalekite raiding party. With that, he strengthen his own position with the tribe of Judah. Rather than despairing when faced with opposition, David trusted God to bless him.
I can only speculate, but it seems the Philistine princes might have guessed right that if David had been allowed to come along, "he may become our adversary in battle." In other words, David may have been looking for an opportune time to betray his new "allies". That might not look the most honorable, but David often has a "flexible" notion of truth in the stories.
Jon Ericson♦Jon Ericson
That is, if we were looking for an apologetic, we could say that David's battle plan was to betray the Philistines in their midst, and possibly even save the day for Saul, a further demonstration of both his loyalty, his bravery and his audacity ("hutspah" we wold call it now ;-).

Grace Lee Cottage: Splashes of Yellow!
Anyways, I originally chose it for my hallway, but after we brought it in the house I decided it looked right at home in our kitchen. It definitely gives our kitchen a nice little splash of color, and it's so soft to stand on!
It has pretty shades of blue, green, brown, orange, and yellow!
I certainly stepped out of my comfort zone since I'm usually drawn to mostly blues and greens.
Once the rug was down I decided to change up my shelves above the sink and add in a few yellow accessories that I already had in the cabinet.
And that's it! My simple cozy kitchen update!
Your kitchen is the cutest, sweetest space!!! I love it!!! The colors you added on your shelf are fantastic!!! And that rug....PERFECT!!!! Wish I would have seen that one!!! Have a wonderful weekend too!!!!!
Gorgeous kitchen! Love that island!


Perhaps one of the first ever road test reviews of the controversial new Ferrari FF shooting brake all-wheel drive has just been carried out by the guys at Autocar in the UK. This is a pretty important first impression of the car as it could make or break opinions on all-wheel drive Ferraris of the future.
Luckily, Autocar is pleased with the car overall, although journalist Jaime Corstorphine does say the engine may not be as ballistic at the top end as a Ferrari 599. However, he does says that in the real world, its cross-country pace would be quicker.
More importantly, however, is the management of Ferrari's all-wheel drive system. Corstorphine throws the car into a tight hairpin corner and mashes the throttle. He says there's no real interruption in power delivery as it offers "staggering propulsion" out of the corner.
Corstorphine does say you can feel the all-paw system working, especially if the car is sliding a bit you can feel the system trying to pull the car straight. He does say it doesn't actually feel like it affects the steering feel though.
Overall, the review says the car isn't very intimidating to drive, offering a great touring package that could be used as an everyday car. Downsides? Just the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which Autocar says isn't as slick as the ones found in other Ferrari models.
Take a look below for the full review.

Dave & Buster's Expands Relationship with VRstudios; Adds Men in Black: Galactic Getaway & VRcade PowerPlay
Location-based entertainment (LBE) operator Dave & Buster's has been steadily growing its virtual reality (VR) offerings over the past year or so. This week that endeavour has ramped up somewhat with the company expanding its ties with VRstudios by announcing several exclusive VR experiences for guests to enjoy.
The first is Men in Black: Galactic Getaway, based on the popular movie franchise. An exclusive experience for Dave & Buster's proprietary multiplayer VR simulator, the wacky adventure is set in New York and London with players pressed into service as "accidental" MIB agents. Their job is to chase down and apprehend a crew of alien criminals who have stolen deadly jars of glowing green goo and insect parts before they escape the planet.
With different endings, randomized player characters; seven different randomly assigned weapons, and dialogue that responds real-time to your performance, Men in Black: Galactic Getaway aims to keep players coming back to discover more.
"We are extremely proud of our latest game's incredibly rich and deep experience that will keep players coming back for more," said Chanel Summers, VRstudios' Vice President of Creative Development in a statement. "We have combined the classic elements of Men in Black with some all-new story elements, weapons and characters, plus gags galore, including a surprise finale that not only evokes the charm of Men in Black but also will definitely put a smile on your face!"
Additionally, Dave & Buster's will also be rolling out VRcade PowerPlay and Barking Irons Gunslinger as part of its VRcade Arena experiences. In a free-roaming environment, guests will be able to enjoy athletic esport VRcade PowerPlay, competing in a series of matches best described as a combination of Laser Tag and Dodge Ball. The second title, Barking Irons Gunslinger, is set in the Wild West where players can face off against one another in an old-school shootout.
Men in Black: Galactic Getaway is playable at 125 Dave & Buster's locations across North America now, while VRcade PowerPlay and Barking Irons Gunslinger are being offered first for a limited time at the Dave & Buster's location in Tampa, Florida. VRFocus will continue its coverage of VRstudios, reporting back with the latest updates.

Technology Spotlight: Energy-Efficient Lighting
By Solar Decathlon
Upgrading your lighting is one of the most practical ways to increase your home's energy efficiency.
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) provide the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs but use about 75% less energy. CFLs fit into common household fixtures and are available at most hardware stores. And although CFLs cost slightly more than incandescent bulbs, they save money over time by lasting 15 times longer than their less-efficient counterparts.

A new agreement between industry groups and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) to help reduce the potential damaging impacts of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) is due to be finalised and signed in mid-July.
The BMSB Operational Agreement has been developed under the Government Industry Agreement (GIA), which commits the kiwifruit industry - and others across the horticultural sector - to work with government to improve readiness for potential future biosecurity events and decide how all parties would jointly respond, including operational details and cost-sharing arrangements. You can read a summary of what the agreement will include on the KVH website.
The agreement has been negotiated and developed by a specially convened group including KVH on behalf of the kiwifruit and kiwiberry sectors.
Launched by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), the awards support the objective in the Biosecurity 2025 Direction Statement to build a biosecurity team of 4.7 million New Zealanders – something we at KVH have been involved in developing and implementing.
The awards are open to everyone and there a number of different categories so if you (or your organisation/company) have been involved in a project or event that focuses on biosecurity, and you want to know more, visit the MPI website for details.
You might be biosecurity champions and not even know it! This is your opportunity to tell your story and share how you've made a difference in protecting the kiwifruit industry and/or the wider New Zealand environment and economy from biosecurity threats.
Get in quick – the closing date for entries is Friday 7 July 2017.
In previous issues of the Bulletin we mentioned that we're going to be freshening up our look and the way we present things ….. we've started making some changes and if you came along to our stand at Fieldays you would have noticed our new display banners.
We'll have more to share over the coming weeks but do keep a lookout and don't be alarmed if you see things looking a little different to how they used to. Don't panic though – we're not going anywhere!
We've launched new Facebook, Twitter and YouTube social media pages so that we can engage with more people across the wider kiwifruit industry, and share biosecurity messages with the public.
It's important to us that everyone is involved in biosecurity and sees that they have a part to play in helping keep out unwanted pests and threats. We'll be promoting general biosecurity messages, telling our story (how we came to be and what or goals are for the kiwifruit industry), sharing positive stories about kiwifruit growers and promoting upcoming events like field days and biosecurity weeks.
Being online will also enable us to spread messages more efficiently and quickly when we need to let people know about new incursions, any effects they may or may not have on kiwifruit (like myrtle rust recently), and what actions people need to take. We'll be joining the likes of Zespri, NZKGI, Avocado NZ and the Ministry of Primary Industries to share their messages and videos too.
You can follow us on Twitter @KVHNZ or find us on Facebook and You Tube at Kiwifruit Vine Health - KVH.
KVH is pleased to announce that another five nurseries have joined the Kiwifruit Plant Certification Scheme (KPCS).
Kaituna (Franklin), GrowWell (Te Puke), Shalfoon Investments (Te Puke), and Good Roots (Whakatane) nurseries have all met the requirements to sell KPCS "within region" certified plants to growers in the regions bracketed for each.
Sandhills nursery in the Far North has met the requirements to sell KPCS "fully certified" plants to growers between regions in accordance with KVH movement controls.
We still have a few of these BMSB magnets left so please feel free to email us if you'd like some sent to you for work, home, staff, contractors or even a community event that you think would find them useful so that we can help spread the important message about knowing what to look out for and what to do if one of these bugs is found.
John joined the KVH team in May 2013 as National Pest Management Plan (NPMP) Analyst and Compliance Officer.
He plays a key role in implementing the plan, including all aspects of compliance. John is an Authorised Person under the Biosecurity Act and issues permissions for requested movements of risk items including kiwifruit plant material used for (non-Psa) research, and machinery movements where KVH authorisation is required. John also works with landowners to ensure that NPMP mandatory requirements around orchard management are met.
John has an overall management role, working with Regional Councils and landowners, to ensure that any wild kiwifruit infestations are detected and destroyed. Access to control sites can be challenging; contractors occasionally abseil to sites on the sides of near vertical gullies. Thousands of wild plants are controlled annually through this collaboratively funded programme.
Before joining the KVH team, John coordinated biosecurity programmes for the Bay of Plenty Regional Council and worked with the Pacific Invasives Initiative on pest management programmes in Micronesia, Tonga and Tahiti. He has also represented regional councils on several advisory and steering groups, including Forest Biosecurity Coordination, Marine Biosecurity and the National Biocontrol Collective.
When John's not working for KVH he's running his family's two-hectare small farm at Welcome Bay and trying to squeeze in some sailing or fishing in or out of Tauranga harbour.

The "RunBot" was developed several years ago by us in order to demonstrate that walking can be established by a electro-mechanical closed loop system without any central pattern generator. The question arises if this idea can be translated into a electro-muscular system which generates a stable walking gait in humans, for example with spinal injuries. This talk describes how we tackled this task and will both investigate the electrical and mechanical system. In terms of the electrical control we treated the human as a black box performing system identification between sensor information and muscle activity. While the electrical system underwent subsequent simplifications, the mechanical system was extended to arrive at a more realistic setup which resulted in a compliant knee. The resulting control program of this improved RunBot II could then be directly transferred onto a system which stimulates the muscles of a subject and established a stable walking gait.

A few updates from IDW's Star Trek line today, starting with their June solicitations, which includes the start of a new story in the nuTrek ongoing series, and an omnibus. Continue below for full details of those, and more, including news of a new Gold Key story!
Written by Mike Johnson, with art by Rachel Stott (returning to Trek shortly after finishing up on the Planet of the Apes crossover series).
In "The Tholian Webs," Part 1 of 2, The FIVE-YEAR MISSION of the Starship Enterprise continues! In this epic re-imagining of a classic Star Trek episode, the crew of the new movie timeline encounters a mysterious and deadly alien force... and not all of the crew will make it out alive!
The lead up to the next movie begins here! Following their encounter with the extradimensional entity known as "Q", Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise continue their five-year mission into unexplored space. Contains the stories "Behemoth," "Eurydice," and "The Tholian Webs" from issues #41-46.
Purchase: Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.co.jp.
...which surely has to be wrong: Unless they plan to split The Tholian Webs between two omnibuses, the issue count here is off, as the six issues would include the two-parter Behemoth, the three-part Eurydice, but just the first half of the two-part The Tholian Webs. The last two omnibuses in the series have been six-issue books, but before that all the rest contained four issues, so it would seem an odd decision to split a story when they could just release a five-issue omnibus and bump The Tholian Webs into the eleventh omnibus in the series. Hopefully by the time we get the August solicitations this will be have been altered!

STADA announces agenda for the Annual General Meeting 2016
Dividend proposal: Euro 0.70 per share
New election of four shareholder representatives as Supervisory Board candidates
Remuneration system for the Executive Board reviewed and adjusted
Restricted transferability of registered shares to be canceled
Selection process for 2017 annual auditor planned
Bad Vilbel, July 20, 2016 –
STADA Arzneimittel AG released the invitation and agenda to its regular Annual General Meeting 2016 today. At the meeting to be held on August 26, 2016, in the Congress Center Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt am Main, the Supervisory Board and Executive Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting to approve a dividend of Euro 0.70 per share, among other things. This would represent a 6 percent increase in the dividend from last year, a total dividend payment of Euro 43.6 million (previous year: Euro 40.0 million) and a distribution ratio of about 39 percent of reported net income.
The agenda also calls for the new election of four of the six shareholder representatives to the company's Supervisory Board for five-year terms. Supervisory Board members Dr. Eckhard Brüggemann, Dr. K. F. Arnold Hertzsch, Dieter Koch and Constantin Meyer have resigned from their positions as shareholder representatives effective at the end of the Annual General Meeting on August 26, 2016. To ensure an orderly, transparent and structured selection process for suitable successors in the interest of all shareholders, STADA decided at the end of May to postpone the Annual General Meeting.
Working on the basis of requirements profiles published on the company website and with the assistance of the renowned personnel consulting company Egon Zehnder, the Supervisory Board's Nomination Committee engaged with four exceptional candidates who, in addition to their proven international industry expertise, have shown themselves to be ideally suited in personal terms for service on the Supervisory Board of STADA. The Supervisory Board is confident that the following individuals ideally complement the remaining shareholder representatives in the Supervisory Board, Dr. Martin Abend and Ferdinand Oetker. They will work together with the company's operational management team to lead STADA to a successful long-range future:
Rolf Hoffmann (57), most recently a member of the expanded Executive Board of Amgen, Senior Vice President of U.S. Commercial Operations at Amgen Inc. and, since June 2016, an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School in Chapel Hill, USA, for strategy and international business development. In Mr. Hoffmann, STADA will gain a proven pharmaceutical and biotech expert who demonstrates comprehensive operational responsibility on all continents. Mr. Hoffmann is experienced in the process of tapping and expanding the world's largest pharmaceutical markets, including Brazil, Russia, China and Japan.
Dr. Birgit Kudlek (49), a member of the Supervisory Board of WILEX AG and most recently the Chief Operating Officer of Aenova Holding GmbH. Dr. Kudlek is a pharmacist, economist and a proven expert in the generic drug industry. She also has many years of international management experience in the areas of development, approval and production. She has held managing positions for well-known generic companies such as Sandoz, known by the name Hexal in Germany, and Ratiopharm.
Tina Müller (47), Director of Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer at the Opel Group GmbH. Ms. Müller is one of Germany's most prominent marketing and sales executives. In addition to the many years of work she has done in the areas of consumer goods/fast-moving consumer goods, she also has broad international know-how, including in the skin and oral care segments important for STADA, through her previous activities at Henkel, Wella and L'Oréal. She is also in charge of digitalization, a relevant topic for STADA.
Dr. Gunnar Riemann (58), an independent business consultant in the life sciences industry and the former President (managing director) of the global Environmental Science Division at Bayer CropScience AG. In Dr. Riemann, STADA will gain an individual who is both a licensed pharmacist with more than 30 years of experience in the international life sciences industry and a highly respected expert for pharmaceuticals, consumer care, biological products and animal health. Dr. Riemann holds extensive international experience, including in the US, Asia and South America. He was active for many years as a member of the Executive Board of Bayer Schering Pharma and was responsible for the integration after the takeover by Bayer. In addition, Dr. Riemann can draw on extensive experience in the fields of production, development, marketing and management in the OTC market, also a relevant market for STADA.
The detailed resumés of the candidates are available on the company's website. The candidates will also introduce themselves personally at the Annual General Meeting on August 26, 2016.
In a reflection of good corporate governance, the Supervisory Board plans to retain its committee structure of Audit, Human Resources and Nomination committees and to ensure that the majority of their members are independent when appointments are made to the committees.
In agenda item 6, the Supervisory Board will present the remuneration system for members of the Executive Board to the Annual General Meeting for approval. Remuneration systems are currently the focus of intense debate in corporate governance circles and among the general public. In response to these discussions and specific suggestions made by investors and voting rights advisors, the Supervisory Board initiated work to further modify the remuneration system for STADA's Executive Board to reflect the latest developments. With regard to variable remuneration this means that the conditions for a discretionary bonus for the Executive Board were specified and tightened by the Supervisory Board. The multi-year, long-term incentive portion of performance-based compensation is now structured in such a way that payment of the stock-based portion can also be spread out over three years. In addition, the Supervisory Board has also responded to the investors' desire for more transparency: In the future, the Supervisory Board will release the targets for the Executive Board variable remuneration that are based on the company's announced guidance for adjusted net income. For the ongoing financial year, this target is slightly above the previous year's level.
The new remuneration system took effect on January 1, 2016, and was developed with the assistance of Ernst & Young. The Supervisory Board has now had the system evaluated by the experts of the business law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and the human resources consulting firm Willis Towers Watson. The summary of the evaluations have been made available on the company's website. Experts have confirmed that the amount and form of the remuneration system are appropriate and customary for the industry and that STADA complies with all regulatory requirements for the remuneration system. Furthermore, the company has systematically implemented the recommendations for facultative improvements in the manner described above.
Other agenda items include the cancellation of the restricted transferability of registered shares of STADA Arzneimittel AG and the resolution on the election of the auditor of the consolidated financial statements for financial year 2016. The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board recommend the election of auditors PKF Deutschland. The audit of key STADA international companies for financial year 2016 will be conducted by the auditing firm Ernst & Young. At next year's Annual General Meeting, the Supervisory Board also intends to propose a new annual auditor. As planned for some time, STADA will soon initiate a selection process for an annual auditor following the introduction of the audit reform in June 2016 in accordance with the stricter new requirements.
The complete agenda for the Annual General Meeting on August 26, 2016, is available on STADA's website.

Natalie Hemby Booking Info
You love her songs, now discover her voice.
Whether it's an ingenious turn of phrase or a heart bustin' through-your-chest chorus, Natalie Hemby infuses her remarkable songwriting with honesty so earthy and pure it resonates long after the first listen. "You know when you hear a song, and it takes you back to a memory?" she asks. "That's what I want. I want to give people moments to remember."
Since signing her first publishing deal at 19, the supremely talented and prolific Nashville native has become one of country music's most successful and sought-after songwriters amassing eight #1 Country singles including Lady A's "Downtown," Justin Moore's "You Look Like I Need A Drink," Jon Pardi's "Heartache Medication," Little Big Town's "Pontoon," and "Tornado," and Miranda Lambert's "White Liar," "Automatic," and "Bluebird." Her songs have also been recorded by the likes of Kacey Musgraves, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Maren Morris, Sheryl Crow, Dierks Bentley, Eli Young Band, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Isaak, Blake Shelton, and Lee Ann Womack among many others.
In 2019, together with Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires, Natalie joined The Highwomen. Their self-titled debut album, widely hailed as one of the year's best, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Country chart and won Americana Music Honors & Awards for Album of the Year, Duo/Group of the Year, and Song of the Year for their single "Crowded Table," which is also one of two Country Song of the Year GRAMMY® nominations she received this year (the other is for Lambert's aforementioned "Bluebird.") In 2020, Natalie won her first GRAMMY® Award, Best Song Written for Visual Media for Lady Gaga's "I'll Never Love Again," from A Star Is Born.
Now she's set to take centerstage once again with Pins and Needles, a brilliant 11-track collection that captures the full-range of her musical gifts. Pins and Needles, her 2nd solo album (following 2017's warmly received Puxico), was produced and mixed by her husband Mike Wrucke (Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies) and features songs she co-wrote with Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne, Jeff Trott and Rose Cousins among others. The album also includes musical contributions from renowned keyboardist Chuck Leavell and pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz.
Inspired by Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow and the early '90s rock and roots she came up on, Pins and Needles is replete with ear-worm anthems ("Heroes"), heart-rending ballads, ("Radio Silence" and "Heart Condition"), acid-tongued, sharp-witted swagger, ("Hardest Part About Business") and deep-grooved rockers ("New Madrid," and "It Takes One To Know One.")
Over the course of her spectacular career, Natalie Hemby has quietly become one of Nashville's MVP's, a driving force among the city's songwriting and artist community. With Pins and Needles, her highly anticipated new album, she's poised for even greater recognition, and a well-earned place in the spotlight.

Q: Is it possible to install OS Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, Oracle Linux, Oracle Solaris, Fedora Linux? I'm planning to have 6 operating systems in my laptop. And wanted to have more in the future.
I want to install 2 versions of desktop OS in windows (7 and 8.1) and a server OS in windows (Windows Server 2012).
I also want to install 2 versions of Linux (Oracle and Fedora).
I also want to install 1 version of Unix (Oracle Solaris).
I wanted to use those OSes for my studying purposes.
I'll use Oracle Linux as my main OS for programming Java.
If that's possible, what would be the installation order?

A: Oh its doable, but its going to be kind of messy, and I'm not familiar with one of the OSes. Virtualisation is the smart option at this point, and you're basically going to end up splitting up your hard drive into very small partitions. With virtualisation, you can do neat things like sparse images (so your installs don't use up space that dosen't actually have data in it), snapshots (perfect for when you've goofed up) and running more than one OS at a time. With a reasonably modern system, this should be acceptably fast, though you have a slightly different set of constraints to worry about.
If you must do this on physical hardware
If you're going with gpt, ignore the next bit about primary and extended partitions.
For starters, plan your partitions first. You need one primary partition (use this for a windows install) and one extended partition at least, and one logical partition per OS. Install windows first then linux (or at the very least, the last os you install
Linux supports using a swap file, and as such I recommend it - manually partition when installing linux, have a single / partition, and no swap partition, and add a swap file later.
I'm unfamiliar with Oracle Unix - Solaris uses grub to boot,so treat it as any linux distro, right down to using a swap file

A: The first step would be to partition the disk into 3 primary partitions and then split the last partition into 4 logical partitions (3 OS and a swap). One of the Linux or Unix OS would be the best to partition the disk since it would support the different types of formats you need.
Since Windows wants to be the only OS on your disk, I would install them first and not worry about being able to boot to all of them until you get GRUB (or GRUB2) written into the boot sector.
I stand corrected:
Here is what Ubuntu recommends:

*

*Partition the disk

*Install Windows in the first partition - it includes cautions and problem fixes

*Install the next OS - it includes cautions and problem fixes

Former Ivory Coast PM Guillaume Soro sentenced to 20 years for corruption
A presidential candidate in Ivory Coast's election has been convicted in absentia of embezzlement and money laundering.
Guillaume Soro, who has been a rebel leader and prime minister, was accused of buying a house with public money.
Soro denied the allegations and his lawyers boycotted the trial, denouncing it as a way to exclude him from October's election, reports Reuters.
Soro was sentenced to 20 years in jail and fined $7.6m (£6.1m).
His property in the commercial capital, Abidjan, was confiscated and he was also barred from civic duties for five years.
The verdict was announced after a trial that lasted only a few hours, adds Reuters. Soro was not present as he lives in exile in France.
The former rebel leader has also been accused of plotting a coup against President Alassane Ouattara, who is due to leave office later this year.
Soro was once an ally of Mr Ouattara's. He commanded a rebel force which backed the current president in his fight against President Laurent Gbagbo, who refused to accept he had lost the 2010 elections.
Soro still retains the loyalty of former rebel commanders who now hold senior positions within the military, reports BBC Africa editor Mary Harper.

CONF: Multiple Topographies in the Campo Santo of Pisa (Pisa, 1 – 2 September 2016)
JOURNEYS OF THE SOUL. MULTIPLE TOPOGRAPHIES IN THE CAMPOSANTO OF PISA
Pisa, Scuola Normale Superiore
September 1-2 2016
Palazzo della Carovana, piazza dei Cavalieri 7, Sala Azzurra
Organizers: Michele Bacci (Université de Fribourg), David Ganz (Universität Zürich), Rahel Meier (Kunsthistorisches Institut Florenz)
The construction of the Camposanto in Pisa, begun in the late 1270s, resulted in an innovative type of monumental cemetery. Generously
dimensioned and surrounded by a prestigious shell of white marble, the new cemetery of the cathedral complemented both the dome and baptistery
as a third monument of equal ranking. Placed directly beside one of the city gates, the cemetery complex constituted an astonishing Portal of
the powerful seaport. Great artistic expenditure was continued on the inside: the high walls of the four wings were decorated with frescoes
of heretofore unknown dimensions, thus creating one of the most impressive painted spaces of the Late Middle Ages. The Camposanto
provided the municipal audiences with a place of burial which eclipsed that of the popular mendicant church cemeteries.
The aim of the conference is to illuminate the Camposanto venture as an innovative interaction between the two artistic mediums of architecture
and mural painting and the funerary utilization of the space. The guiding concept of "Journey" allows us to consider perceptions of
burial as an entry into an otherworldly Journey, as well as journeys to holy and otherworldly places, which are invoked in the iconographic
program of the frescoes. Following this concept, the conference will focus on a long Pisan tradition of spatial interweaving of locations
within the Mediterranean Region – in particular the holy sites of Palestine – which were diversely linked to Pisa through overseas trade,
by military participation in the crusades and through its position as starting point and place of passage for pilgrimages.
Recent research projects have emphatically illuminated a widely circulating practice of "site-relics" and "site-transfer" in the
medieval West. Pilgrim's ampoules with lamp oil and stones from the holy sites were media for the creation of composite places which
superimposed the local topography and the Terra Sancta sites of memory. Transfer processes and the adoption of foreign locations were already
abundant in the older constructions of the cathedral area in Pisa: the Dome itself was built on the occasion of the victory over the Saracens
ruling in Sicily and to commemorate the seminal myth of the second Rome. The baptistery begun in the 11th Century cited the forms of the
Anastasis in Jerusalem.
The project of the Camposanto can be understood as a further development of this topographic memory. In this context, the narratives
about the sacred earth, which was allegedly spread throughout Camposanto, played a central role. The notion that sacred earth could
be spread in a cemetery can be understood as an innovative advancement of older models of site transfer. Source evidence suggest that these
legends were greatly enriched over the centuries, although they already circulated in nuce at the time the cemetery was founded. These stories
also motivated the innovative designation of a cemetery as "campus sanctus". It is a key purpose of the conference to consider the
interplay between the sacred substance of earth, the fictive spaces within the murals and the burial practices within the cemetery.

Any type of paper on any subject custom-written for you by the professionals.
The social attitude of a nation is directly linked to both reduce and increase certain types of criminal activity. The society's acceptance of a certain behavior often sparks opposition in the pockets of minority or lower economical communities. These splinters of opposition consolidate into a response against the society; often resulting in a crime. However, even positive reception to social attitude can sometimes cause a group within society to lose their balance and embrace crime.
In this paper, we are going to look at the various social attitudes that shaped the path of this nation during the 1980s and 1990s. This paper is also going to provide an insight into the crimes that rose during these periods and the criminology theories that were adopted. Finally, we will look at the measures that resulted in an unexpected drop in crime rates since the 1990s.
Social Attitudes
The belief, feeling and behavior towards a certain entity is known as social attitude; emotions, connection and behavior are the key components.
Criminological theories
The study of criminal actions and examine the root cause of these actions and taking necessary steps to prevent the crime from happening is known as criminological theories. The following are the list of basic criminological theories.
Rational choice theory refers to people who analyze the risks involved in an act of crime even before they indulge in it.
Social disorganization theory denotes an individual's neighborhood and the social circle play a key role in choices made by the individual. In particular, low income neighborhoods can become hubs for instilling violent behavior in its residents.
Strain theory refers to people who are unable to achieve their dreams through legitimate means will try to achieve them by taking up a career in crime.
Social learning theory refers to people who are influenced into taking up a life of crime by those around them or by the people who associate with them.
Social control theory states that the lack of accountability to societal institutions such as family, school or church can influence a life of crime.
Labeling theory refers to the labeling of a person as a criminal by a societal power such as a church. This will automatically remove any legitimate opportunity that the person might have had in the society. The outcome is the person taking up a life of crime because the society labels him so.
Biology, genetics, and evolution refer to the mental health, type of diet and unformed brain composition that result in criminal behavior.
(Akers and Sellers, 2012)
The 1980s was a time of cultural and informational revolution in the United States of America. It was the era of modernization in all walks of life. The Regan years had started and with it the U.S. went forth to win the Cold War. It was also the time period that encouraged police departments from across the country to experiment new tactics in fighting and preventing crime. There were some tragic moments such as the passing of John Lennon, the discovery of AIDS and the ill-fated Challenger mission (Emeritus, 2008).
The social attitudes that dominated the 1980s were liberal. The society had toned down heavily in demonstrations and was ready to settle down. They general attitude was that there was enough space for all to share. Feminism also concluded its second wave in the country and it was taken up by other European countries post 1980. Religious beliefs were at an all time high and the computer revolution had emerged. The 1980s were the years that laid the foundations stones for the Silicon Valley companies. The advent of cable TV and a host of new programs into American homes also fostered the virtue of the American Dream in the minds of youngsters in this period (UShistory, 2014).
Hate crimes peaked in the 1980s. This was a direct result of the social attitude towards equality among all races. This was also a period that witnessed a rapid increase in gangs and gang related violence. Organized crime made significant gains with Russian and Italian crime families successfully corrupting government machineries.
There was an unprecedented surge in gun violence especially in drug related cases. This was primarily due to the recruitment of young people into the drug runners' organization. This young generation was considered cheap labor however the downside was their inability to show restraint. Almost all drug market related gang members had guns for protection and invariably caused a steep increase in gun related violence.
Stress Theory: The publicized portrayal of the American Dream among young people was one of the main reasons youngsters joined the drug trafficking trade. Most of the participants were from low income families and did not have the financial capability to achieve their goals legitimately.
Social Learning Theory: The gang related violence is directly related to the association of gang members in schools and neighborhoods. The idea of gangs was romanticized on television and the new attraction in cable TV only hastened several teenagers into joining gangs to "fit in".
Labeling Theory: White Supremacist clans reared their heads into action in various parts of the country in response to the social attitude of liberal society. Their views were labeled as unacceptable by the society and they responded by targeting innocent members of the black minority.
(Cote, 2002)
The theories of the 1980s
The most popular criminological theory that emerged from this period was the Routine activity theory (RAT). It was formulated by Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen in 1980. According to this theory, the victim also shares responsibility for the crime. The justification was that the actions or behaviors exhibited by the victim were reasons why the perpetrator chose the victim. For example taking a shortcut through a dark alley provides the perpetrator a chance to commit a crime against the victim however; walking through a well lit street removes the opportunity.
RAT was instrumental in analyzing circumstances behind crimes and providing data that enabled police departments create awareness with sections of the society. This theory helped apprehend several high profile criminals in decades that followed.
This period recorded an unprecedented decline in crime rates all over the country. The drug related crime and violence deescalated steadily. Young people were no longer getting into drug trafficking or gangs. There was also a new paradigm of American families in single parents. This period also witnessed a surge in immigrant Asian Americans. The multicultural society was born. The 1990s was also the period when the internet was unveiled to the public and non military personnel (Blumstein and Rosenfeld, 2008). This was also the period that witnessed the third wave of feminism. The sitcom generation started with hit shows like Friends and Walker Texas Ranger. This era also had its share of tragedies in the Columbine High School Massacre, the "not guilty" verdict in the O. J. Simpson trial and the horrific murders of Shanda Sharer, Polly Klaas and Jonbenet Ramsey.
The American society was fast becoming a multicultural social being. The attitudes towards race related tensions declined further. The advent of the single parent ideology was newly adopted by society. The once booming cocaine industry was obliterated. However, the drug problem remained with meth trading places with cocaine. Young people returned to schools and colleges apart from the ones who were tried as adults in federal courts for using firearms. There was significant emphasis on Juvenile correctional systems with the exodus of drug related arrests being sentenced in adult courts (PewResearchCenter, 2007).
The crime rate reduced overall by five percent. The crimes that contributed to the reduction were burglary (44%), murder (7%) and robbery (5%). However, crimes such as aggravated assault (+21%) and vehicle theft (+11%) were on the rise. The reduction was unexpected since analysts had actually predicted an exponential increase in crime (Department of Justice Staff, 2005).
Crime reducing factors
There were four key factors that attributed to the reduction of crime in the 1990s. They were increased arrests in drug related cases. Jail sentences were reworked to keep repeat offenders in prison for a longer duration of time. Also, juveniles who had committed crimes while using firearms were treated as adults. Hence, their incarcerations in federal penitentiaries proved to be a key deterrent. The long term advantage of this measure was that when the prisoners are released, they would opt for a more peaceful lifestyle. The average age group that indulged in gun violence was between 15 and 19 years. When convicts are released after spending fifteen or twenty years in prison would be more mature and the majority won't indulge in such crimes (Levitt, 2004).
The second factor was the increase in police numbers. In addition, police departments started using ComSats to detect hot spots of criminal activity and increased policing of those areas. Legalization of abortion enabled the avoidance of unwanted pregnancies being carried to term. A significant proportion of the criminal elements were products of such pregnancies. Finally, the decline of crack cocaine; the media during the 1990s widely publicized the harmful effects of cocaine. It was also the period when quite a few pop and rock music artists succumbed to overdoses. These factors and the mass incarceration of young people who propelled the movement of crack cocaine obliterated the drug from the scene.
The efforts of police through community policing and encouraging students to get back to school, along with the mass incarcerations had a positive effect. This new policing strategy enabled police, civil administration and school districts to work together. Hence, there was a strict vigil maintained by all agencies involved to ensure young people did not get involved in crime.
There were some unproven theories such as the stringent gun laws and economy progress that might have discouraged crime as a revenue generation avenue. The laws on carrying weapons and concealed weapons also increased the risk of burglars coming face-to-face with gun yielding property owners. Burglary dropped significantly during the 1990s.
Hate crimes increased despite the enacting of the Hate Crimes Statistics Act in 1990. However, the race related hate crimes reduced by at least twenty percent while there was an increase in hate crimes linked to the gay community. The brutal torture and murder of Matthew Shepard in 1998 serves as a grim reminder (FBI, 2015).
Rational choice theory was widely implied by young people and burglars. They were unable to overcome the risk of getting caught or worse; being shot by a property owner. Criminal elements quickly realized that they could not benefit the spoils of committing crime especially with more police personnel on patrol and civilians carrying guns to protect themselves.
The Social Learning theory encouraged thousands of young people to refrain from criminal activity at the aftermath of what happened to their associates and friends who had been involved in crime. A vast majority of the associates were languishing in federal penitentiaries and others trying to avoid getting caught in a well coordinated police dragnet.
The strengthened economy of the 1990s provided new jobs in the computer field that were far more lucrative and legal than a criminal career. The dynamics of the Strain theory was reversed. This resulted in youngsters abandoning their fledgling criminal careers and joining the mainstream society with the assistance of community policing teams and school authorities.
Postmodernist theories and feminist theories surfaced in the 1990s. The postmodernist theory was developed by Carrington in 1998. According to this theory, the active subjects are oppressed and denied of their rights by the structures of authority. In retaliation, the active subjects indulge in actions that are repulsive to the structures of authority (Carrington, 1998).
Application of theories in crime wave scenarios
The theories in criminology have been derived by criminologists based on human behavior during the participation of an act of crime. In this section, we are going to analyze the drug trafficking crime wave that rocked our nation during the 1980s. We will also establish evidence of their decline during the 1990s that were linked to a change in circumstances.
Drugs – The Wave
The drug trafficking trade flourished in the United States during the 1980s due to the introduction of crack cocaine. Celebrities, the rich and famous as well as youngsters fell prey to addiction traps of crack cocaine; thereby increasing the demand. The drug trafficking market required additional workforce. The economic trends and lack of safeguards in schools allowed an exodus of dropouts who were quickly recruited into drug running gangs.
The competition between these gangs was fierce and often resolved their disputes through acts of violence. In order to safeguard the merchandise, the drug gang lords armed all their workforce members with guns. The 1980s was the era of Cable Television and a host of violent programs crept into unsuspecting households; combined with guns freely available to anyone who worked in the drug business complicated matters very quickly.
Eventually, the gun yielding teenagers wanted to try out their newly acquired power whenever they could. This escalated the gun culture in an already troubled arena. In addition, most of those involved in the drug industry were users themselves. Shootouts were common occurrences especially in low economic residences.
Drugs – Theories that applied
Rational choice theory dictated terms with young people who saw an easy opportunity to make a lot of money while embodied with the power of yielding firearms. This was simply too good to resist. Their chances of getting caught were slim compared to getting killed however, this idea of gangs was romanticized in popular culture; making drug running almost irresistible.
Social disorganization theory was very apparent with teenagers who participated in the drug trade to emulate their peers. Everything they saw around them was lucrative and appealed to them. These youngsters saw how otherwise unemployed individuals suddenly transformed their neighborhoods into a market swarming with activity with an opportunity for everyone interested.
Strain theory was noticed in many youngsters who envisioned themselves a life that was much better and had more comforts than what their parents provided. They were also ambitious and saw the drug trafficking as a means to achieve their goals.
Social learning theory was also actively spotted in youngsters who wanted to "fit in". It was easy to be lured into the drug running business when friends, relatives and classmates make fast money. These youngsters also spent vast sums of money on wardrobe and automobiles.
Drugs – What changed?
The theories of criminology operate solely based on the circumstances of the situation however; when these circumstances change, the decisions taken based on those circumstances will also change.
At first, the police decided to step up the patrolling and increased their force in significant numbers. This presented a new risk to the drug trade. The risk of incarceration had increased. The next move sowed the seeds of extermination for the crack cocaine runners when Congress amended the existing laws on certain crimes and repeat offenders. This meant that teenagers who were involved in gun violence would be treated as adults and be incarcerated in federal penitentiaries. The theories of rational choice and strain suddenly became irrelevant. There was too much to risk and there was a real chance to wind up in a federal prison for 10 or 15 year jail terms. Rational choice discouraged young people in the late 1980s and early 1990s in participating in the drug trade. The strain theory also evaporated with the strengthening of the economy. New jobs were available in the market. The achieving of goals in a legitimate structure increased greatly.
Social disorganization rationale disoriented with increased crackdowns by police and other law enforcement agencies like the ATF. Social learning took a reversed rationale when youngsters witnessed their friends, relatives and peer being incarcerated for long jail terms. Subsequently the community policing initiative which coordinated with the local school districts and law enforcement offered an exit for teenagers who were willing to surrender their guns and return to school. This was the last straw that virtually eradicated the existence of young people in the drug trade during the 1990s.
Criminology theories analyze and conclude on outcomes that can be used to eradicate crime. The application of these theories enables law enforcement to come up with preventive measures. The community policing initiative was one such that changed the paradigm of law enforcement completely. Social attitudes also contribute heavily on why people turn to crime. However, now as a multicultural society we stand a better chance at overcoming crime and empowering the weaker sections of society than the opportunity that we had in the 1980s.

Surprised School Children Say Kate Middleton 'Doesn't Look Like a Princess'
BY Sean O'Brien on November 20, 2011 | Comments: one comment
Related : Kate Middleton, Prince William
Probably imagining pictures of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella transformed, it seems that some elementary school pupils were disappointed and didn't think Kate Middleton looked "like a princess" when she visited their classroom. Before her next visit with young children Kate should consult a Hollywood costume outlet – so she won't disappoint and will look like 'Glinda the Good Witch Of The North' in 'The Wizard of Oz.'
The Duchess of Cambridge went to find out more about The Art Room – an art therapy charity she is thinking of representing – this week, meeting at the primary school where their London branch is based.
The casually dressed royal was taken on a tour to see the charity's work at the Robert Blair Primary School, before meeting pupils and posing for a picture, but some seemed confused by her wearing a jumper and jeans.
A woman who had come to the school to collect her three-year-old brother told The Mail on Sunday newspaper: "The children had been told by the headmaster, Mr. Miller, and the deputy headmaster, Mr. Murphy, that a real-life Princess was coming to the school."
"They were so excited and were all told to wait in the car park to see her. When she came out of The Art Room after the visit, she posed for a picture and waved at the children."
"Some of the little ones were very confused. They were saying things like, 'She doesn't look like a Princess. Where's her dress?' They didn't believe it was the Princess they had seen on the television."
The Art Room works with children aged between five to 16 who are disruptive or have learning difficulties and aims to "increase self-esteem, self-confidence and independence through art."
Confirming the visit, a spokesperson for Catherine said: "It was one of a number of meetings, part of the Duchess getting to know the charitable sector. The Art Room wrote to her and caught her eye. She went to find out more about their work."

DJ UCH Talks Favorite Beats in Exclusive Interview
New York City based DJ Uch began his career as an entertainment reporter chatting with names like David Guetta, freestyle icon Judy Torres and Kaskade. After being around artists for a bit, Uch dove into the industry in 2004, landing his first DJ gig at a tequila lounge in Elmhurst, Queens. Since then Uch has gone on to DJ at clubs around the world. We caught up with DJ Uch to talk current hot tracks to mix, music inspiration and Kayne West. Check it out in our interview below.
What are your favorite songs to mix right now?
I'm really loving the deep house revival that the UK has enjoyed over the last few years, so I'm playing a lot of that and loving it. There's a song by Gorgon City called "Ready For Your Love" that is a gem. I also love the new remix Disclosure did of "F For You" with Mary J Blige, it totally gave the song new life. I'm also playing one of my own new songs called "Love You More" featuring Larisa because it's just a solid dance-pop love song, I feel so good hearing it.
How do you decide what you're going to play at a fashion event?
For me, what to play at fashion events really depends on the vibe of the people throwing the party and the clientele which they serve. Fortunately, fashion events tend to draw a trendy crowd that can vibe with different styles of music and not the obvious chart hits. I think a good groove mixed with some recognizable tunes is all you need for a fashion event to go off well and get the models moving.
Is there one artist you won't play?
I can't say there's an artist that I won't ever play. If it makes sense to me and I know it fits the vibe I'm creating for the evening, then I'm all for it. Good music is good music to me, I try not to begrudge particular artists, what's the fun in that?
Who are your main style inspirations in the music industry?
I think Kanye West has set the bar pretty high stylistically in the music industry. Here's someone receiving so many accolades, making a ton of money, and could easily shut his mouth and stay conventional to keep the gravy train going. Yet he does the total opposite, musically and stylistically, and I really do admire that. At the end of the day it's fulfilling to win by being yourself. I wouldn't say that I aspire to dress the same as him, but I do identify with the unwavering desire to be himself in the public square.
Where do you like to shop?
I'm really an "in & out" shopper: I know what I need ahead of time, I go in to purchase, and leave as quickly as possible. I find myself in mens shops mostly because they are the most conducive to that style of shopping! I can pick up a few jackets and ties in pretty short order there. As far as big name stores, I do find myself in H&M and Macy's the most, but I try to avoid crowds when shopping, huge pet peeve of mine.
Who is your favorite designer?
I think Ralph Lauren is pretty classic and the quintessential American designer. It just occurred to me while answering this that I've been wearing his stuff since high school so I've pretty much been buying his clothes my whole life!
What are your five must have fashion items right now?
My 5 must have fashion items right now are (1) good footwear because I'm always on the move (2) a cool pair of jeans (3) a neck tie (4) a pocket-size bottle of lotion to make sure my skin is on point on the go (5) confidence
What are your 5 tips for dressing for a hot night out?
1 - Be comfortable! It's so obvious seeing people from the dj booth who are playing dress up and seem completely out of their element. If the heels don't fit or the suit is ill-tailored and it makes you feel less than yourself, change it before you leave the house because it will affect your night
2 - Be yourself! It's ok to try new clothes and new looks out for a change of pace, but I do feel it all has to be organic. If you're playing dress up for fun then it should actually be fun. If it's a chore, it will read on your face and your body language that you don't feel like yourself. Be fashionable but be yourself.
3 - Color Coordination is timeless. Now, I'm not saying wear "kelly green everything!" but simple color and tone coordination pulls a look together nicely. Subtlety goes a long way because it looks effortless and that's always a plus
4 - Smile. It will cost you nothing and make you the center of attention in a good way.
5 - Own It. Before you leave the house on a night out, you've got to look in the mirror and think "Damn, I am hot!" That will truly make your night. Any great fashion moment starts from confidence before anything else. Even if you know what you're wearing may cause a stir, raise an eyebrow, and irk a few folks, you've got to OWN IT. Confidence is the suit that precedes our birthday suit because it comes from within and it radiates, big time.
What are your five favorite things to wear right now?
I always like a smart look when I'm spinning a party, so my 5 favorite things to wear at a gig are (1) a slim tie (2) a nice jacket (3) a cool pocket square (4) a comfortable dress shirt (5) a nice pair of sneakers because I'm on my feet all night!

Is this another sentence fragment or is it the phrase you would use if you wanted to say, e.g., "her hearing was bad"?
It could be that which would be "Mae ei chlywed hi'n ddrwg." or it can be used when as a verb e.g "Wnaethoch chi ei chlywed hi?" (Lit: Did you her hear? or "Did you hear her?"). Though this probably is a fragment sentence that has been deleted since it matches with many other fragments that have already been deleted.


The Mesquite Symphony Orchestra is a community orchestra created to serve Mesquite and the surrounding area. The players perform because they love to play.

Comply Now, Complain Later
Harkening the historic "Smokey the Bear" and "Keep America Beautiful" public service ad campaigns of the 1970's, the National Police Association has unveiled the "Comply Now, Complain Later" campaign. See it here.
Police hope the campaign raises awareness to the 50,000 use of force incidents a year involving people who resist or become physically combative with the police — often resulting in unnecessary injury to citizens and the police.
The campaign seeks to influence the public to choose compliance in the present over resistance which never ends well for anyone. Arguably each high-profile police use of force case that has entered the national debate in recent years would have been avoided by adhering to this simple, yet profound, advice.
For beleaguered police, any effort is welcomed.
