Real Food Encyclopedia | Mâche
Mâche, Valerianella locusta, has a rags-to-riches background. It was first enjoyed as a humble weed that volunteered between row crops. It was a wild but edible plant that was foraged from the nearly barren fields of Europe in the spring, before the first crops were planted. The French, who still maintain a loyal dedication to the green, began cultivating it in the 17th century. Thomas Jefferson, known Francophile, discovered the delightful plant on a trip there and brought seeds back to grow mâche at Monticello in the early 1800s.
Until recently, mâche lovers have had to grow their own or convince local farmers to plant a crop. But in the past decade, Todd Koons, a bagged lettuce pioneer, has begun growing mâche commercially at his Salinas Valley farm, Epic Roots and hopes that Americans' love of the green will grow to equal that of European eaters. Travelers who have enjoyed mâche in Europe, such as famed farmer Barbara Damrosch, are beginning to seek out the tasty rosettes, making them an "in demand" salad item. Not bad for an ex-weed.
Fun Facts about Mâche:
Mâche love is powerful. Mâche, aka Rapunzel, was the delicious green in the fairy tale of the same name that tempted the pregnant peasant into pilfering the witch's garden and was then forced to surrender her baby in return.
Mâche is also known as "corn salad" because before it was cultivated, it grew as a weed between the rows of cereal crops such as corn, rye and wheat.
Mâche is also known as lamb's lettuce because the leaves' resemblance to the shape of a lamb's tongue. (Not to be confused with lamb's quarters, a totally different green.)
And it is also known as "doucette" in France, which translates as "little sweet one."
There are over 200 varieties of mâche that differ in flavor, texture and adaptability.
What to Look for When Buying Mâche
Mâche grows in circular leaf configurations that are about three to six inches across. The leaves are dark green and tender.
When buying mâche, look for rosettes that are still intact, as they will keep longer than individual leaves. There should be no sign of yellowing or aging.
Sustainability of Mâche
Environmental Impact of Mâche
Probably because mâche is planted so early in the season, before many pests are out of hibernation, it doesn't require topical applications to thrive. While the plant enjoys soil that has been enriched with compost, it is not finicky and doesn't need to be propped up with chemical amendments. The plant makes an excellent green manure and soil conditioner, particularly if turned under after harvest.
Mâche Seasonality
For the seasonal farmer, one of the best features of mâche is its frost tolerance. The plant is so hardy that it can even be harvested frozen. That means it can be grown in the earliest part of the season before other greens would whither in the chill, bringing a fresh blast of green to the early spring table.
Mâche is cold loving and must be planted in cool temperatures as the seeds go dormant in warm soil. But it will continue to flourish until temperatures reach the 80s. And, unlike other greens, mâche doesn't get bitter as the plant ages so it can be harvested continuously until hot weather sets in.
Cultivation of Mâche
Mâche is not hard to grow. In fact, left to bolt, it will self-seed and volunteer annually. It grows in sun and even light shade. Mâche grows very low to the ground in three to six inch rosettes of leaves that sprout from very fine stems. It is harvested most commonly by slicing the plant off at its base or just below the soil line to keep the rosette intact, leaving the root in the ground. It can also be harvested by pulling a few leaves from the plant at a time in a cut-and-come-again fashion.
Because it grows so low to the ground, mâche is most often hand-harvested which can drive up cost and keeps it from playing a larger role in commercial production. And its low growing ways also mean that it is often quite sandy and requires thorough washing to get the vegetable table ready.
Because of its compact size, many growers adopt mâche for their hydroponic systems. However, without the rigor of surviving in the elements, the leaves of such plants never develop the thick juicy bite that is characteristic of field grown plants.
Eating Mâche
Storing Mâche
Fresh mâche keeps for up to two weeks if loosely wrapped in a reusable plastic bag and refrigerated.
Cooking with less waste
How to Use Leftover Salad Greens
Cooking with Mâche
Mâche is most frequently featured in salads. Its mild flavor makes it a great companion with spicier greens such as arugula or served simply dressed on its own. In France, it is tossed with beets and walnuts. You can also use it in soups. Its mild flavor would fold into a smoothie unnoticeably. It can even be lightly sautéed.
Mâche Nutrition
For a tiny plant, mâche packs a big nutritional punch. They are high in Vitamins C, A, and B-6. They are a good source of iron, potassium and copper and are packed with beta-carotene and omega 3s, making them one of the most nutritious lettuces available.

Q: Geotiff to NetCDF with gdal_translate: Huge increase in filesize I have downloaded files in Geotiff format with which I want to do some statistical
analysis. Therefore I have converted the Geotiffs with gdal_translate into NetCDF files.
The problem is that it leads to an enormous file size growth, from ~20 MB to ~1.6 GB.
Did anyone have the same problem and has any advice?
The data can be found here: ftp://anon-ftp.ceda.ac.uk/neodc/esacci/fire/data/burned_area/MODIS/pixel/v5.1/compressed/
Please help

A: I'm afraid this is always the case going from geotiff to standard netcdf with gdal_translate. Have you tried compressing the files in netcdf4 format with e.g.
cdo -f nc4 -z zip9 copy in.nc out.nc

?

This traditional, confrontational style is adopted by many collections teams. However, it no longer works – if it ever did.
Our clients have had considerable success working with us to transform their approach. We've proven that establishing a trusting relationship with the customer and developing an agreed solution radically improves both the speed and volume of collections. Customers stick to their agreements and prioritise payments, reflecting their increased buy-in to the relationship.
Taking this approach requires commitment, a change of organisational mindset and the skills to have brilliant trust-building conversations. The results can be outstanding.
A financial solutions team in a large utilities company achieved great success working with us to transform the quality of their collection advisers' conversations. This meant moving the conversation away from the direct, challenging approach to a customer-focused conversation. This helped the customer to open up and talk about their situation. While the advisers are clear about the absolute need to pay, they now agree workable solutions with the client. Results clearly show that customers are sticking to the agreed payment plans. There has been a combined impact of a 15% improvement in customer satisfaction, and a 27% increase in cash collected per hour.
All staff involved in debt collection, and their managers.
As part of our toolkit for helping our clients improve their collections performance, we've recently developed an interactive Customer-centric Collections simulation. To experience for yourself the immersive nature of this simulation, then please contact us for a free trial.

Beltsville News
Jason's Jive January 2021 By Jason Inanga
Dear Reader, how are you doing? It's been a very interesting year—so much has happened around us and we must be thankful that we are alive and in relatively good health. I know we make resolutions every year and then struggle to keep up with them. I have already started with my resolution: to eat healthier. I have fallen in love with avocados. I will not touch the guacamole; give me the avocado in its purest form. I guess it is a mental thing. Just like when I hear people say they made a smoothie and put in kale, beets, and other vegetables. I just cannot fathom the thought of drinking those.
Now please do not laugh at me. All my years in Maryland, I typically would wear shorts all year round – just two or three layers of shirts. A lot of people would be upset with me and tell me something was wrong with me. I really cannot explain why I would do that, but that was me up to 2019. Now I am living in Dallas, Texas, I have apparently adapted to life here. The temperature hits fifty degrees and I am in long pants, a jacket, and a warm hat.
Talking about the weather, I am struggling to keep my lime and lemon trees alive as the cold weather has come through, and one of the two trees actually shed most of its leaves while blossoming. I must win in the fight to keep them alive through the cold season so they can bear fruits in the spring. Similarly, I have two pineapple plants in my garden. I cannot wait to see them bear fruit.
Tales from a Broken Baltimore…that is the name of a thread I follow on Facebook, and recently I came across a very interesting post. There was a recording of two law enforcement officers responding to a call. One officer can be heard on the radio, telling the other officer to be on the lookout for a male carrying a shovel and a prosthetic leg. Apparently, the shovel had been used by a subject to attack and rob a man of his prosthetic leg. It may sound hard to believe, but how low can one get as a human being to steal a leg? I am hopeful that the robber was found and the leg returned to the rightful owner.
Reminds me of a ridiculous situation when I was growing up as a teenager. This happened in Nigeria in the mid 1980's. Back then, sodas were sold in glass bottles and would have firm metal caps that could only be removed with a can opener. There was a local eatery that got robbed at night, and the robbers decided to use an opener to open every single bottle of soda that was within reach in the crates. Ridiculous but it happened.
In 2021, I hope the pandemic eases up so I can visit Beltsville. I am amazed at the amount of development that has gone on. I miss my favorite eating places: Wawa—the gas station on Route 1, Sardis—located right before Wawa—and of course Campanero on Powder Mill Road, just next to the 7-11 and Shell Gas Station. Living in Dallas, there is a heavy Hispanic presence, but sadly I have not been able to find any food facility like those listed above. So, when you see Santa Claus, tell him to put a meal from each of those places on his sleigh and head down South to Texas with it. I have been good all year, and I have even cleaned the chimney so his outfit does not get messed up. I also have a treat for the reindeer—so they can have a snack while Santa brings in my unique gifts. So, do I believe in Santa Claus? Yes—when it comes to getting my favorite meals. (just me being silly).
As I wrap up this "Jive," I am going to wish you a Merry Christmas. Be safe. Eat and drink RESPONSIBLY. If you must drink and drive, drink a Sprite Zero—the best drink out there right now. On a more serious note, have a great New Year and see you in 2021. That's the "Jive" for the year.

State cross-country championships: Local…
State cross-country championships: Local runners get valuable experience
Carmel High's girls' team sprints at the beginning of the Division IV CIF State Cross-Country Championships at Woodward Park in Fresno on Saturday. (Raul Ebio – Herald correspondent)
By John Devine | jdevine@montereyherald.com | Monterey Herald
PUBLISHED: November 25, 2022 at 10:12 a.m. | UPDATED: November 27, 2022 at 6:13 a.m.
FRESNO — Whether it was closing a chapter on a season or building a resume for the future, placement was not as important as time.
The tone in the voice of a pair of sophomores was one of satisfaction following Saturday's CIF Cross-Country Finals, but far from contentment going forward.
"I felt good about my effort," said Carmel's Mack Aldi. "But there's nothing to look back on. I'm looking toward the future. I'm grateful for my coach."

Aldi recorded the fastest time among county competitors Saturday, clocking 16 minutes, 10 seconds over the 3.1-mile course at Woodward Park in Fresno, helping Carmel finish 15th as a team in the Division IV boys' championships.
"That's a great sophomore time," Carmel coach Daniel Tapia said. "The training we do is hard. Mack has it mentally. He's just going to soar if he continues to have trust in my program."
A few strides behind Aldi was Gonzales sophomore Giovanni Ochoa, who sought out advice from his older sister Ashley, who ran the course a week earlier in earning All-American honors for Hartnell College.
"She told me to go hard on the first mile, but not too hard," Ochoa said. "Have a time in mind. I feel like watching my sister has really motivated me. I was pleased with my effort."
With more than 200 runners in each division, over 2,000 athletes turned Woodward Park into a runner's haven. While the moment wasn't too big for most, lining up with 200 other state qualifiers can be overwhelming.
"It was overwhelming at the start," Trinity's Caleb Bouwens said. "I was toward the outside, so I was able to get out and run my own race. But yeah, it was different seeing that many people in front of me."
Bouwens, the first male athlete from Trinity to advance to a state meet in any sport, didn't have the finish or time he envisioned in his final high school race as a senior, having dealt with a virus the last week.
"It wasn't my best race," said Bouwens, who finished in 17:45.1. "It was probably my last race. It's always crossed my mind what I could accomplish if I focused on the sport. But cross-country has always been my second option."
Bouwens, who plays five sports at Trinity, doubled as a starting linebacker/tight end this past fall, getting running workouts in when time permitted.
Aldi, one of the few Padres not to come down with the flu after the Central Coast Section finals, tore up the first mile, clocking 5:05 to remain with an elite pack of runners.
Where the course often separates runners and offers its biggest challenge is in the second mile, where the hills sneak up on you and become a factor.
"I hit 5:15 on the second mile," Aldi said. "I was prepared to be tired after the second mile. There are lots of hills. But I recovered on the third mile. I felt like I had something left. I picked up the pace over the last 800 meters."
Aldi finished 33rd overall in a field of 201 runners. Following him for Carmel were Dylan Craig (16:36.0), Aiden Tarantino (17:06.7), Bodhi Melton (18:02.2), Connor Bone (18:02.6), Tyler Imamura (18:40.0) and Nathan Plascencia (19:36.7).
"With the group we have coming back, there is no reason we shouldn't contend for a league and CCS title next year," said Tapia, a one-time North County and Hartnell College distance ace and former Big Sur Marathon champion and U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier.
While the virus ran through the Padres girls' team, the Pacific Coast Athletic League Gabilan Division champions recovered enough to finish 14th as a team, with sophomore Ava Ghio covering the race in 19:20.0.

"Ava still wasn't feeling well," Tapia said. "So she wasn't happy with the race. It was unfortunate a lot of our kids got sick around the CCS. Running is very mental. You're punishing your body."
Ghio still ran nearly a minute faster than last year at the state meet as a freshman to finish 42nd in a field 201 runners.
"I told her you didn't feel your best and you still ran a personal best," Tapia said. "Use it as motivation. We're so far ahead of last year and in a better situation. She has a lot of room for improvement. All of them do."
And most of Carmel's girls' team will be back next year as Tapia was nine deep, with just two seniors, often juggling runners based on their result throughout the season.
Following Ghio were freshman Lila Glazier (20:40.1), Chiara Kvitek (20:55.5), Christiana Kvitek (21:06.3), Ryleigh Teague (21:06.4), Jadyn Lome (21:37.9) and Sara Eyjolfsdottir (21:52.2).
Ochoa, who ran 16:41.7, chased King City's Israel Limosnero, who finished 46th in the Division IV finals in 16:27.0. The two south valley rivals trained together during the week of the CCS finals.
"My training helped get me through the second mile," Ochoa said. "The last mile was hard. I just had to push through it. It's all mental. I just thought about what I've done to get here. I reminded myself you deserve to be here."
Pacific Coast Athletic League champion James Ponzio of Monte Vista finished eighth overall in the Division V race, dipping under 16 minutes in 15:39.8.

'Surprise' - Pundit thinks Chelsea should sign ex-Spurs star Toby Alderweireld
Rob Newell - CameraSport via Getty Images
Glen Johnson believes that Chelsea should look to bring former Tottenham centre-back Toby Alderweireld back to the Premier League this summer.
Alderweireld is arguably one of the best centre-backs that Tottenham have had during the Premier League era.
The Belgian formed a solid partnership at the back with his compatriot Jan Vertonghen at White Hart Lane and was a key figure in the Mauricio Pochettino revolution, which saw the Lilywhites contest for the Premier League title and finish as Champions League runners-up.
After six seasons at Spurs, Alderweireld left the North London club last summer to join Qatari club Al-Duhail, and despite playing his football in Qatar, he remains a key part of Roberto Martinez's Belgium set-up.
Johnson believes the 33-year-old remains capable of playing in the Premier League and urged his former club to bring him back to England, insisting that Alderweireld could thrive as a part of Thoms Tuchel's set-up at Stamford Bridge.
When asked about who he would sign as a replacement for Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, the former Chelsea and Liverpool right-back told GGRecon: "I know it's going to sound a bit out there but I would say Toby Alderweireld, who used to be at Tottenham.
"He's not going to cost much, he knows the Premier League, he's a good footballer, and I think in a proper team he could surprise a lot of people."
It would be difficult to stomach watching Alderweireld in a Chelsea star but Johnson is right in his analysis. Even at 33 years of age, the Belgian might be perfectly suited to playing as a central sweeper in a back three. In fact, if Alderweireld was still at Spurs, I suspect he would be a regular starter under Antonio Conte.
Report: Spurs want to complete three more signings ahead of Monday
Report: English club expecting two Spurs-linked players to be sold this summer
Jonny June 30, 2022
"Johnson is right in his analysis" are you serious? The man said he'd be good "in a proper team" and you're endorsing his dig at us? Unbelievable.

Welcome to School of Philosophy Wessex
Your Invitation to life with Philosophy
Area covered by the Wessex School
The School of Philosophy Wessex (previously called the Wessex School of Philosophy) was established in 1983, as a Branch of the The School of Philosophy and Economic Science, which is based in central London. Until the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Wessex School regularly offered introductory courses in practical philosophy in several venues across the Wessex region, (Hampshire, Dorset and part of West Sussex), and other occasional courses and events in Southampton and Winchester. All our physical meetings are currently suspended but the Introductory Courses are being offered online nationally and are administered by the School in London.
Many people who attend the introductory course decide to continue their study and practice of philosophy and there are many ongoing classes to provide for this, all currently being offered online. The opportunity to take up the practice of meditation is offered after a few terms' attendance.
Courses in economics with justice are also offered by the Wessex School from time to time. These aim to show how a more equitable distribution of wealth can be achieved while leaving the world in as good a condition as we find it, or better. Also, there are studies of Plato and Sanskrit.
The Wessex School also offers usually each term public talks on subjects related to practical philosophy and economics. These talks usually take place in either Winchester or Southampton and are advertised on this website.
The School of Philosophy and Economic Science is a registered educational charity, founded in 1937. The School is a centre of spiritual and practical knowledge and enquiry. Through the courses, activities and events offered it aims to help people lead a full and useful life through a better understanding of themselves and the world around, and thereby to contribute positively to society at large. The main subject explored in the School today is practical, living philosophy, based on the eastern teaching of Advaita ("not two"), which points to the unity underlying all phenomena. It has numerous Branches around Great Britain and there are affiliated Schools in many countries around the world. In addition, the School offers a range of other courses, seminars, workshops, concerts and lectures.

Q: Faulty button makes the phonecall before pressing it The code works but the app is calling the string without the press of the button. As soon as I reach the particular page of the app, it is bypassing everything (Other buttons, map views, etc) and makes the call...
The code I'm using is:
   - (void)loadNo2 {
        UIButton *no2 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
        [no2 setTitle:@"2108642700" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [no2 setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [no2 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
        [no2 setFrame:CGRectMake(84, 260, 152, 31)];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://1234567890"]];
        [self addSubview:no2];
    }

What is wrong with it???

A: This line brings up the dialog to dial
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://1234567890"]];

You didn't add it as a button action -- you are just calling it.
Replace that line with this:
  [no2 addTarget:self
          action:@selector(onNo2Touch)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

And add this:
-(void) onNo2Touch:(id) sender {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://1234567890"]];
}

A: Looks like you've called the openURL from the method that creates the button.
You should put the call to UIApplication sharedApp... (i.e.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://1234567890"]];
)
inside the method called from the action (that is mapped to the button) .


Issue was a scanning error called Code: 2,157,50 The wireless printer was printing and faxing just fine. Wouldn't scan…or more frustratingly would only scan the first few documents then die and pop up that code.
Setup (left hand side of printer), arrow to Device Settings, Lan Settings, Confirm Lan Settings. It will print out a report where it will list your signal strength. 19%. Then stated they really don't recommend a signal strength under 50%.
Temporary solution: Connecting a USB printer cable…NOT an ethernet cable. You can not use an ethernet and the wireless at the same time for the printer (even if it's through different computers). Once you connect the cable, you must go in and TELL it to use the cable. Sometimes when you connect the cable, you have to wait until your system automatically downloads the driver. After 5 minutes due low signal strength. Once it's loaded properly, it will show up in your "Devices and Printers" as an MX series Printers (Copy 1). Once it shows up, you now need to tell it to use the cable instead of the network for the scanning. You do this by: Opening MX Navigator Ex 4.1, Go to Preferences (lower left of pop up), go to General tab, go to the box where it should say MX series Printers NETWORK. Click the down arrow and select "MX 920 Series". Obviously you are choosing to go from using the Network to a direct access to the printer via the cable.
Long Term solution: Move the router closer. Or, if there are obstacles between the printer and router (electronics, walls, doors, etc), then remove them too.
1. Retract the output tray extension and the paper output tray, open the cover, and then remove the FINE cartridges.
2. Then re-install the FINE cartridges, push the FINE cartridge until it clicks into place.
When you need to replace a FINE cartridge, follow the procedure below.
Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzle (B) on a FINE cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch them.If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with the FINE cartridge removed.
Use a new FINE cartridge for replacement. Installing a used FINE cartridge may cause the nozzles to clog.
Furthermore, with such a FINE cartridge, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the FINE cartridge properly.
Once a FINE cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE cartridge within six months of first use.
If a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either color or black FINE cartridge, in whichever ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality may be reduced compared to when printing with both cartridges. We recommend to use a new FINE cartridge in order to obtain optimum qualities.
Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE cartridge installed. If either of the color FINE cartridge or black FINE cartridge is not installed, an error occurs and the machine cannot print.
Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-white printing is specified.
Both color ink and black ink are also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the print head, which may be necessary to maintain the performance of the machine. When ink runs out, replace the FINE cartridge immediately with a new one.
1. Make sure that the power is turned on, open the front cover (C), then open the paper output tray (D).
2. Open the paper output cover (E).
Do not hold the FINE cartridge holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the FINE cartridge holder until it stops completely.
The head cover will open automatically after you open the paper output cover. If you have closed the head cover while replacing a FINE cartridge, close the paper output cover, then open it again. Trying to force open the head cover with your hand may cause the machine to malfunction.
Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the machine.
If the paper output cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the FINE cartridge holder moves to the far right and the Alarm lamp lights. In this case, close the paper output cover, then open it again.
3. Remove the empty FINE cartridge.
(1) Push down the ink cartridge lock lever until it clicks.
(2) Remove the FINE cartridge.
Handle the FINE cartridge carefully to avoid staining of clothing or the surrounding area.
Discard the empty FINE cartridge according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
4. Prepare a new FINE cartridge.
If you shake a FINE cartridge, ink may spill out and stain your hands and the surrounding area. Handle a FINE cartridge carefully.
Be careful not to stain your hands and the surrounding area with ink on the removed protective tape.
Do not reattach the protective tape once you have removed it. Discard it according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
Do not touch the electrical contacts or print head nozzle on a FINE cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch them.
5. Install the FINE cartridge.
(1) Insert the new FINE cartridge straight into the FINE cartridge holder all the way until it touches the back.
The color FINE cartridge should be installed into the left slot and the black FINE cartridge should be installed into the right slot.
Insert the FINE cartridge gently so that it does not hit the electrical contacts on the FINE cartridge holder.
(2) Push up the ink cartridge lock lever to lock the FINE cartridge into place.
The FINE cartridge is locked into place when the ink cartridge lock lever clicks.
A paper jam has occurred in the under tray at the front of the machine.
1. Remove the jammed paper from the under tray.
2. Press the [Resume/Cancel] button on the device.
If the above solution has not resolved your error, please contact Canon authorised service Call +1-855-517-2433.

AMD A8-3870K and A6-3670K Unlocked APUs Listed for Pre-Order
At the end of September we found out that until 2011 ended, AMD planned to launch two new chips in its A-Series APU product family which were supposed to come with unlocked multiplier, dubbed the A6-3670K and A8-3870K, and these two processors have now become available for pre-order in the US.
Both of these processors greatly resemble their predecessors, the A8-3870K coming as a 100MHz higher clocked version of the current A8-3850, which means that it now runs at 3GHz.
The second unlocked APU to be released by AMD is called the A6-3670K and this also is an almost exact copy of the A6-3650 it is meant to replace apart from the 2.7GHz operating speed, again 100MHz higher than that of its predecessor.
Outside of the higher operating clock and unlocked multiplier, both of these chips will feature similar specifications as they sport quad processing cores with 4MB of Level 2 cache memory, an integrated dual-channel DDR3-1866MHz controller, and built-in Radeon HD graphics.
The power consumption of the two AMD accelerated processing units was also left untouched which means that is rated at 100W.
Pre-order prices of the AMD A-Series 3670K and 3870K APUs listed by Bottom Line Telecommunications and uncovered by CPU-World are set at $121.50 (90.6 EUR) and $143.77 (107.25 EUR).
On a quick look, these seem to be identical with what the current A6-3650 and A8-3850 chips are retailing for in the same store, so there is a strong possibility that AMD will introduce the new APUs at the same price level as their current counterparts.
The unlocked multiplier design that AMD plans to introduce with the 3670K and 3870K will greatly improve their overclocking potential since the maximum FSB achieved by Llano APUs is severely limited at this point, mostly due the integrated graphics core.
$200 Million Go into Anti-Apple Samsung Legal Fund
There doesn't seem to be much chance of Apple and Samsung settling their differences now that their patent war has escalated all around the world, and Samsung's latest move proves it.
There aren't many things that could make a company change how its finances get distributed and invested, but Samsung is of the opinion that its quarrel with Apple is among them.
According to the Korea Times, the former has chosen to set aside $200 million to use as a legal fund for 2012.
Initially, things looked grim for Samsung and its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, as well as some smartphones.
After an Australian judge issued an injunction against the tablet, the appeal court reverted the decision (sales still can't start until December 9).
Even more recently, the US court denied Apple the injunction it sought and also ruled that most of the patents are either likely invalid or unlikely to really harm Apple.
Thus, as the companies continue to duke it out in other countries, Samsung is determined to make as strong a case as possible.
"This is another factor why Samsung has been maintaining its hard-line stance against Apple" an unnamed Samsung executive told the Korea Times.
"The US ruling is expected to fuel more momentum for it to further strengthen the existing stance."
Samsung and Apple used to be on cordial terms, until the latter sued the former over the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
With that to invalidate Samsung's unofficial policy of not suing Apple, as it was called, Samsung filed some lawsuits of its own.
The next big confrontation will be the one in Paris, where Samsung hopes to gain another victory.
Currently, Germany still has the Tab 10.1 banned, but the Tab 10.1N was made to circumvent the legal debacle, not that Apple refrained from legally attacking that one too.
AMD's 28nm Radeon HD 7670M and HD 7690M Spotted in Asus and HP Notebooks
We definitely are getting closer to the launch of AMD's Radeon HD 7000 mobile graphics core series and recently two GPUs from this upcoming product family were spotted in notebook models from Asus and HP.
The chips were uncovered by the German PC Games Hardware publication, which spotted them in the configuration of Asus' X53TK 15-incher and in the HP Envy 17.
The first one of these notebooks, the X53TK, seems to be an all AMD affair since is powered by an A6-3420M APU with integrated HD 6520G GPU, but in order to improve the GAMING performance of its creation Asus also added Radeon HD 7670M discrete graphics to its laptop.
The HD 7670M is actually a Thames XT chip manufactures using the 28nm node and it packs a 128-bit wide memory bus connected to DDR3 memory while its operating clocks seem to be set at 600MHz for the GPU and 900MHz for the memory.
Asus' use of the HD 7670M in a hybrid-graphics configuration with the A6-3420M APU suggests that the GPU is based on the VLIW5 architecture.
At the heart of the Radeon HD 7690M part that is used by HP for its Envy 17 notebook also stands the Thames XT core, but his time this is coupled with GDDR 5 memory clocked at 800MHz.
The GPU frequency was not mentioned, but a previous report indicates that this is clocked at the same 600MHz as in the case of the HD 7670M we talked about earlier in this article.
Neither Asus, nor HP, has mentioned a release date for their Radeon HD 7000-powered notebooks, but if we were to guess we would say that these will be unveiled most probably during CES 2012.
Intel Core i3-2370M and i5-2450M CPUs Could Launch on December 11
At the end of this week, Intel could expand its mobile Sandy Bridge processor range with two new CPUs from the Core i3 and Core i5 product families that will slightly improve upon the specs of the chips these are meant to replace.
Both of these upcoming processors were spotted by CPU-World inside an HP document which covered the configuration options available for its Pavilion dv6 notebooks.
In addition to confirming the specs of the two processors, the HP doc also mentioned that the CPUs will be available in the dv6 starting with December 11, which suggests this is the date when Intel plans to make the Core i3-2370M and i5-2450M official.
The first one of these processors, the i3-2370M, was designed to come as a replacement for the Core i3-2350M CPU launched at the start of September and slightly improves the specs of its predecessor.
What this means is that we will get a 100MHz bump in the base frequency of the chip enabling it to come clocked at 2.5GHz compared to the 2.4GHz of the 2350M it's meant to replace.
The rest of the specs were left untouched so the Core i3-2370M includes two computing cores with Hyper-Threading support, 3 MB of last level cache, support for the AVX instruction set and an on-board HD 3000 GPU.
Intel's second chip to arrive on December 11, the i5-2450M, is also meant to replace a current part in the company's lineup, namely the Core i 5-2430M.
This time too, Intel limited the changes to the core frequencies of the processor, which now comes with a base clock of 2.5GHz and a maximum Turbo Boost speed of 3.1GHz, compared to the 2.4GHz and 3GHz frequencies of the CPU is meant to replace.
In addition the processor clocks, Intel has also increased the maximum clock speed of the integrated graphics core that now works at 1.3GHz.
No details regarding pricing are available, but Intel usually sells these for the same price as the chips they are meant to replace.
Fujitsu Arrow ES IS12F Goes Official at KDDI in Japan
Fujitsu appears determined to bring to the market the thinnest smartphones ever, and the new Fujitsu Arrow ES IS12F is the latest such handset, the one that claims the top spot on the list.
Being only 6.7mm (0.26 inches) thin, the new device is as slim as the Fujitsu ARROWS μ F-07D smartphone that was seen recently en-route to NTT DoCoMo.
Arrow ES IS12F will make an appearance on shelves at wireless carrier KDDI in Japan, and has just been made official with Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system on board and with waterproof capabilities.
The specifications list of the new Android smartphone includes a 4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display that can deliver a 480 x 800 pixel resolution, a 5-megapixel camera with image stabilization capabilities, or a fast 1.4GHz Snapdragon MSM8655 application processor.
Fujitsu also packed Arrow ES IS12F with Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, along with support for CDMA and GSM networks, and with a 1,400mAh battery capable of delivering 400 minutes of talk time.
Intel's Unreleased Pentium B970 Spotted in HP's Pavilion dv6 Notebook
By the end of this year, Intel is expected to launch a new series of mobile processors based on the Sandy Bridge architecture and one of these upcoming chips, the Pentium B970, was just spotted inside an HP document.
This doc details the technical specifications of the company's Pavilion dv6 notebook which it seems like soon it will be updated to feature new processor options. One of these is the Pentium B970.
Starting with the release of its first Sandy Bridge-based Pentium B940, every mobile Pentium CPU released by Intel since then has come as a 100MHz higher clocked part when compared to its predecessor.
The dual-core Pentium B970 is no exception to this rule and, as CPU-World reports, other than this small speed bump it will most probably be identical with the current B960.
What this means is that the 2.3GHz CPU should come equipped with 2MB of Level 3 cache memory, built-in Intel HD graphics, SSE4 support as well as with an integrated dual-channel memory controller.
Other more advanced features like HyperThreading or AVX support is sadly missing from the features pack as it's the case with most other Sandy Bridge-based Pentium CPUs out there (the only exception is the Pentium 350 for micro-servers). The TDP of the Pentium B970 should be set at 35 Watts.
According to the HP document, this latest mobile Pentium CPU will be available in the Pavilion dv6 notebook starting with December 11.
Even though we have no official confirmation, we suspect that this is also the date when Intel plans to launch this processor.
No other laptops running the B970 were spotted so far, but it shouldn't take notebook manufacturers too long to update their creations to include this CPU once it's made official.
Nokia's Store QML Client Updated, Nokia E6 Now Supported
Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has made available for download a new flavor of its Store QML Client or Symbian devices, offering support for a few more smartphones than before.
However, this is not all, since Store QML Client 3.20.044 also adds support for additional languages, while also bringing a series of other enhancements into the mix.
One of the most important improvements in the new release, for example, is the addition of support for the Nokia E6 smartphone.
At the same time, Nokia focused a bit on the carrier billing area, so as to make sure that users receive a great experience when trying the service.
The complete release notes for the new application flavor include:
Support for Arabic, Hebrew and Kazakh languages
Support for VGA resolution for devices such as Nokia E6
Improved Virtual Keyboard for Text Entry, allows users to enter text directly in the entry form entry fields "utilizing a split-screen view"
Improved Search Experience: Spelling correction and Alternative results
Improved reliability for operator billing while connecting via WLAN. Note that this only applies to WAP-Direct billing methods.
In a post on its Nokia Beta Labs blog, Nokia also notes that it plans on activating another feature on/after December 16th, namely Registration Lite.
Through this, new consumers can download a number of up to 10 free applications without having to create a Nokia account for that.
For those out of the loop, we should note that the Store QML client is available for all handsets that are based on Symbian^3 (including PS1, PS2 "Anna" and SR1 "Belle," except for those devices with VGA resolution, such as the E6-00, Nokia explains).
The Nokia Store QML client, currently available only in a beta flavor, is meant to replace the current Store client on Symbian^3 and Symbian Anna devices.
The new flavor of the application is available for download as well, via this link.
Giada Uses Intel's Atom Cedarview CPUs in Its Latest i35G Nettop
While Intel appears to be struggling to release the mobile version of its Atom Cedar Trail platform into the wild, is desktop counterpart seems to be doing quite well, Giada just announcing that it has used these chips for a new nettop, the Giada i35G.
The design of the i35G reminds us more of a laptop than a nettop computer and is housed inside an ultra slim case that measures no more than 26.3mm (a little bit more than one inch) in thickness.
Giada was able to make its nettop so thin by going with Intel's Atom Cedarview processors, users having the option of choosing between the 2.1GHz D2700 and 1.83GHz D2500 CPUs.
Both of these chips are based on the Cedarview architecture and feature a 10W TDP, 1MB of L2 cache and built-in graphics, but the former also comes with Hyper-Threading enabled to process up to four threads simultaneously.
In addition, the chips also sport an integrated 1066MHz memory controller as well as a 640MHz on-die GMA 3650 GPU that is based on a PowerVR core.
However, Giada chose not to use this integrated graphics core for their nettop and instead went with an Nvidia GF119 graphics core.
The rest of the nettop's configuration includes 2GB of DDR3 system memory, a 320GB 2.5-inch hard drive Wireless LAN 802.11n and Bluetooth connectivity as well as a multi-format card reader.
Despite the small size, Giada's nettop does however come with a wide variety of ports and connectors including a pair of jacks for plugging in a mic and headphones, four USB 2.0 ports, one eSATA port, as well as DVI and HDMI video outputs.
No info regarding pricing or availability was provided by Giada, but the i35G should arrive in stores soon enough.

UFV Condom Controversy Continues – Three Months Later
Fraser Valley – Article by UFV's Joel Robertson-Taylor/ UFV Cascade – After the condom tampering that occurred at UFV last October, some efforts to provide proper protection to anyone wanting free access to condoms haven't been followed through with.
Before the tampering incident, condoms were supplied for free in baskets in various public locations around UFV campuses. However, this eventually became problematic.
On Oct. 28, an email warned students, faculty, and staff that condoms in public spaces around UFV may have been tampered with. The Cascade reported on the story Oct. 30 in an article titled "UFV warns students of pin holes found in condoms," which said that a student saw another student tamper with the condoms in a women's washroom in the Student Union Building (SUB) on UFV's Abbotsford campus.
Responding to the condom tamperings, SUS said they had already ordered dispensers for condom and feminine hygiene products and would be installing them promptly.
However, condom and feminine hygiene dispensers have still not been purchased or installed in the SUB or on UFV campuses, contradicting what was said in the press release SUS sent to the CBC, Global News and The Cascade on Oct. 31.
"Our Student Union Society had ordered condom and feminine hygiene dispensers that were to be installed in the Student Union Building washrooms in January 2017. We are currently fast-tracking this project and hope to have these installed as early as late November," read the press release.
Despite what was said in the release, at a SUB steering committee meeting the following day, SUS and UFV discussed how they would acquire product dispensers for the SUB and UFV.
"SUS is looking into installing feminine hygiene product / condom dispensers in the washrooms; currently obtaining quotes and determining best locations to install dispensers. [SUS president] Sukhi [Brar] asked this committee for advice on where to install and how many." reads the minutes from the Nov. 1 committee meeting.
Still, no dispensers of any kind have been purchased.
At the Nov. 1 SUB steering committee meeting, it was decided that the SUS and UFV would work together to find and purchase dispensers. The UFV procurement office was tasked to source out the right kind of units. It was agreed upon that using dispensers made more sense than baskets because it would help to ensure that the condoms could not be tampered with.
With that direction given, it was expected that the dispensers could be purchased and installed by the end of January.
"So the UFV procurement office went and looked at units and pricing and we got an email on Jan. 3," said Brar.
The email referenced a company that has supplied dispensers to Simon Fraser University, the Vancouver International Airport, and Capilano University. Total cost for the dispensers without product, depending on the particular unit, prices somewhere between $3,450 and $5,000 for all dispensers.
"I don't know why an email with quotes only found its way to us this semester when this was something that we started talking about Nov. 1," said Brar.
Much of the delay has come from the difficulty in finding appropriate dispensers. It was noted in the minutes for the Nov. 1 meeting that an important requirement for dispensers would be that they dispense free product. The problem with the dispensers from the recommended company is that they only offer a unit that charges to dispense product. The company has however said they can modify the dispensers to dispense for free but it would void the warranty as they are tampering with their own machines.
Jody Gordon, UFV's vice president students who is on the SUB steering committee, said that it hasn't been easy to find a company that sells product dispensers that don't require payment for dispensing.
"It is a difficult process in that they're very specific that they want dispensers that are not coin operated. And that apparently has turned out to be a bit of challenge to find," said Gordon.
Along with the purchasing delays, conflict around who will pay for the dispensers has developed.
"My understanding is that SUS is paying for the dispensers, the PRLC is supplying the condoms at this point, condoms both internal as well as kind of the traditional condoms, if you will," said Kyle Baillie, director of student life & development.
When UFV first responded to the tampering incident, they agreed to provide funding for the dispensers, according to Brar. Email threads she was apart of suggested that UFV would contribute by assisting in the costs.
"But this was because of all the media attention," said Brar, referring to the attention the tampered condoms initially received. "What pisses me off, again, and I had been kind of wary of it then too is it's like 'yeah, let's partner,' and so when Abby News was contacting, when people were contacting it's like 'we're partnering with SUS to do this thing.'"
Brar said that UFV has since suggested that SUS will have to pay for dispensers in the SUB.
As director of student life & development which encompases many initiatives including the Peer Resource and Learning Centre (PRLC), which supplied the condoms before the tampering incident.
"The condoms are currently supplied for free, we're paying for the shipping to get them here. What else would we pay for, there isn't any other costs associated," said Baillie.
But this doesn't help the SUS, who can already get 10,000 condoms for free every quarter from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, and was looking to get help with funding for the dispensers in the SUB.
Others costs will include purchasing dispensers and the ongoing costs of supplying feminine hygiene products.
Currently, 13 machines are expected to be purchased. As it stands, there will be 10 dual dispensers that dispense both condoms and feminine hygiene products installed in women's washrooms. Dual dispensers will be installed in the SUB, Baker House (UFV's student residences) and at the CEP campus in Chilliwack. There will also be three single product dispensers, that will be installed in the SUB.
Gordon said that UFV could pay for two dispensers, they would be the ones installed in Baker House, and at the CEP campus. SUS would have to pay for the 11 dispensers for the SUB.
"For us it doesn't really help when we're putting in dispensers to have someone offer to put money towards getting a thing [condoms] that we can already get for free. And I suspect they can get it for free which is why they offered to do that piece to partner," said Brar.
"If they're not paying for it, and they're not adding any value to us doing this, then why did they say let's partner on this. Because they're not contributing to any of the cost," said Brar.
Despite delays, Brar promised that dispensers will be installed.
"What I can commit to 100 per cent is there will be dispenser and there will be free product," she said.

Early Design Collaboration in construction projects can be hampered by misunderstandings between team members. Consequently, design actions are not supported by all, causing delays and frustration. This paper presents a study aiming to capture (a) misunderstandings between participants at early design stages, and (b) how these individuals resolved such misunderstandings through shared understanding. Anexploratory case study was conducted to investigate collaborative interactions of a Design Team, in an Architecture Office in San Francisco (USA). Data was collected during a concept design charrette focused at the building envelope of a Medical Office Building. Results from Protocol Analysis revealed misunderstandings emerging through independent actions and wrong assumptions among the participants, which triggered breakdowns in communication and the use of metaphors to construct shared understanding. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to explain the dynamics of shared understanding in early design stages, which could be used to help design teams to map, reflect about and improve their collaborative interactions.


E-mail marketing is one of the most cost effective ways to get your name in front of prospective or existing customers to generate sales or stay top of mind. But the spam that clogs in-boxes around the world is unwanted, and its solicitations are rarely acted upon. These annoying distractions offer little value.
Now that we know what's wrong with this method of marketing, let's discuss what could be right with it.
E-mail marketing (please don't call it spam for just a moment until you consider the argument) offers one of the most cost-effective ways to market to consumers. Start-up costs are so small that any company can integrate a smartly designed campaign into its marketing program in a short time. And, with a few well-established rules of engagement, chances are it will make a reasonable return on investment very quickly. In some cases, the results, like the Internet itself, are immediate.
What's more, e-mail isn't just a way to get your brand in front of people. It's an opportunity to establish engagement and dialogue with customers. Here are a few rules of thumb that are sure to show success for even the newest e-marketers.
Rule No. 1: The e-mail must be anticipated.
Don't waste time and effort sending e-mails to recipients who don't need what you sell, don't want your products and know nothing about you.
We recommend sticking with opt-in e-mail lists to optimize results. If you don't have an address list of hot prospects primed to buy, you can build one in a number of different ways: You can entice individuals to visit your Web site with special offers to those who opt-in; banner ads can drive people who have an interest in your offers; and of course, marketing materials of any kind should be included on your Web site. Once there, make it easy for people to act, driving your sales.
Rule No. 2: The e-mail must be relevant.
We recommend that our clients use information they gain about their customers selectively to keep them informed. If you are a jeweler, for example, and one of your customers purchased an anniversary ring for his wife in 2005, your messaging can remind this customer of the approaching date and also provide selective information about new jewelry designs and styles that would be perfect for the up-and-coming anniversary. This puts the sender in the position of providing information that is needed and wanted. It's time-sensitive, and it provides new product information based upon past behavior.
Rule No. 3: The e-mail must offer value.
Research shows that consumers act on offers of value more than anything else. For example, customers who bought widgets in the past are the perfect customers to buy widgets when they go on sale. The most successful e-mail marketing programs track this data and use it intelligently. I often ask company owners to think like their customers and answer the question, "Is my e-mail address worth parting with?" In this day and age, it's the equivalent of asking for a phone number that's privately listed.
Rule No. 4: The e-mail must be integrated.
For maximum benefit, your e-mail messaging must be integrated with both content and commerce feedback loops in the form of product up-sells that leverage database data to meet needs – for example, the next most likely product model – and surveys that allow the customer to provide data points that are used to better serve and connect with the consumer.
Any company, regardless of size, can afford an e-mail marketing program. In this day and age, with the ease of measuring your real-time ROI, who can afford not to?

The priority review voucher (PRV) was conceived to encourage drug sponsors to produce treatments for "non-profitable" diseases, such as rare pediatric diseases, by giving them a voucher to receive expedited regulatory review of different, potentially more profitable drugs, as an incentive. Whether this incentive should be expanded more broadly to rare diseases and whether it has been successful has been addressed in an article published in Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs. According to the authors the current system has been vulnerable to misuse and it interferes with the Food and Drug Administrations' ability to set priorities based on public health needs. According to the authors, even though the incentive is "alluring" as it does not require additional budget earmarking, there are fundamental challenges which have to be addressed before broadening it to all rare diseases.


THE colonel came running along back of the line. There were other officers following him. "We must charge'm!" they shouted. "We must charge'm!" they cried with resentful voices, as if anticipating a rebellion against this plan by the men.
217 when the shafts of the bayonets rattled upon the rifle barrels. At the yelled words of command the soldiers sprang forward in eager leaps. There was new and unexpected force in the movement of the regiment. A knowledge of its faded and jaded condition made the charge appear like a paroxysm, a display of the strength that comes before a final feebleness. The men scampered in insane fever of haste, racing as if to achieve a sudden success before an exhilarating fluid should leave them. It was a blind and despairing rush by the collection of men in dusty and tattered blue, over a green sward and under a sapphire sky, toward a fence, dimly outlined in smoke, from behind which spluttered the fierce rifles of enemies.
He himself felt the daring spirit of a savage religion mad. He was capable of profound sacrifices, a tremendous death. He had no time for dissections, but he knew that he thought of the bullets only as things that could prevent him from reaching the place of his endeavor. There were subtle flashings of joy within him that thus should be his mind.

Stillwater to host first World Snow Sculpting Championship
The five-day event is being held in January.
Melissa Turtinen
World Snow Sculpting Championship, Facebook
Stillwater is set to host the inaugural World Snow Sculpting Championship next month.
The event is scheduled for Jan. 18-23, 2022, in Lowell Park on the shore of the St. Croix River, with teams from around the world set to compete to build the most impressive snow sculptures.
Spectators can watch as 12 snow sculpting teams construct their creations during the three-day competition, which begins Jan. 19. The winner will take home prize money and the title of world champion, while spectators will get the chance to vote for their favorite — the team with the most votes will be awarded the people's choice award.
While the competition is just three days, there will be five days of activities in Stillwater for the inaugural event, including snowmaking, social events, family friendly activities, ceremonies and more.
The event is weather-dependent, though — so cross your fingers for a cold and snowy January. The event's website and social media channels will post updates as the competition gets closer.
The City of Stillwater has partnered with the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce to host the event, which is sanctioned by the Association Internationale de Sculpture sur Neige et Glace (the International Association of Snow and Ice Sculpture) based in Finland, which has a mission of promoting activities and developing the culture around snow and ice sculpting.
"I'm convinced that the World Snow Sculpting Championship in Stillwater will be a huge success. I warmly welcome this new event into the international network — it will greatly benefit our artist community," Juhani Lillberg, the president of the International Association of Snow and Ice Sculpture, said in a statement.
While there will be a dozen teams competing in the inaugural event, organizers have a goal of including more teams in future years, with only one team per country competing, a news release said.

UNA candidate profile: Mary Gan
Written by Z. Aazadeh Raja
Nov. 9, 2021 · UNA Election 2021
"I thought it was really important to have individuals that are student-aged, are connected to students and have them be able to represent their thoughts and voices on the Board." Courtesy Mary Gan
Mary Gan, a recent UBC graduate with a degree in biology, is running for the University Neighbourhoods Association's (UNA) Board of Directors.
As someone who has lived in Wesbrook Place — one of the UNA neighbourhoods for the last four years — Gan said she has seen the disconnect between most students who live in the UNA and the Board.
"I feel like most students don't understand the representation that is there for them in the places that they work and reside in," she said. "I thought it was really important to have individuals that are student-aged, are connected to students and have them be able to represent their thoughts and voices on the Board."
Throughout her degree, Gan has been involved in a lot of student government positions —she is the current AMS VP Finance — where she has had the opportunity to speak with students who also live in the UNA and as a result, is better able to realize what the UNA can improve on and what it should lobby for.
If Gan wins, the three things she will focus on are student engagement, affordable housing and community safety.
Gan also hopes to improve road safety — as someone who lives with her family and has seen numerous car accidents happen in the Wesbrook Place, said she realizes that this is a cause for concern.
"I think it's really important to lobby for more community safety, making sure that traffic around the area is regulated and making sure that we can keep the community safe."
Further, in terms of promoting student interests to the UNA, she feels that direct communication is necessary. This can be done either through town hall meetings or making communication as accessible as possible with social media, she said.
"[This] can hopefully alleviate some of the knowledge gap for people who are interested members of the UNA and get people more involved in voicing their opinions."
This is part of The Ubyssey's coverage of the UNA election. We'll be covering the candidates, the all-candidates forum and all things UNA until polls close on November 30.

Q: Is it possible to install Windows using Wine? I'm trying to switch to Windows 8 on a desktop computer. I purchased and downloaded the digital setup (I wanted an installation disk but apparently it's unavailable), but it won't open! I have Wine configured to Windows 7.

A: Wine was not designed to install entire Operating Systems. You can't install anything but applications using Wine. To install Windows you have to:

*

*In case you want multi-boot with Ubuntu:

*

*Restart the system.

*Boot a Ubuntu live cd

*Open Gparted

*Modify your partitions to create a free space.

*Create a NTFS partition in the free space created.

*Reboot with the Windows DVD.

*Install Windows

*Repair the GRUB.

*In case you only want to install Windows replacing everything else:

*

*Restart the system and boot with the Windows installation media.

*Install Windows


Depending on the county you live in most counties try to establish and close a custody battle within a year. Now whether or not there's been multiple arrest, an absent paren, multiple CPS cases etc it may take longer but it doesn't take 3-10 years unless one of the parents keeps taking the other back to court. You can't refile/reopen a custody case for up to a year after each one is established.

Trump's tirade continues: 'What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban?'

President Donald Trump on Saturday blasted the federal judge who issued a nationwide hold on the executive order temporarily barring immigrants from seven predominately Muslim countries.
"The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!" Trump tweeted.
"Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban," the president continued. "They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction!"
US District Judge James Robart, a Seattle federal judge and George W. Bush appointee, granted a nationwide temporary restraining order on the immigration ban Friday night.
Following Robart's order, US Customs and Border Protection alerted airlines that the US government would reinstate visas that were previously canceled.
"In our country, no one is above the law and that includes the president," Bob Ferguson, Washington state's attorney general, told CNN on Friday night.
Robart's order sent the administration scrambling on Friday night. Sean Spicer, Trump's press secretary, issued a statement saying the White House intended to challenge the ruling.
"At the earliest possible time, the Department of Justice intends to file an emergency stay of this order and defend the executive order of the President, which we believe is lawful and appropriate," Spicer said.
"When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot, come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &. security – big trouble!" Trump tweeted.
The president also leveled attacks at the "FAKE NEWS @nytimes" and tweeted out his campaign slogan, "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" as part of his Saturday morning barrage.
