My name is Richard Bailey, I'm aged 50, And I'm currently based in Berlin, Germany. My first career was as a physical education teacher, so I coached (and in many cases took qualifications) in quite a large variety of sports. But when I was younger, my main coaching experience was in cricket and the martial arts.
I also have academic qualifications in physical education, philosophy and psychiatry.
Parents play a wide range of roles within the youth sports environment. To some extent, these roles are determined by the age of the child. Parents often introduce different sports to their children, decide when coaching is necessary or useful, pay for equipment and coaching, and provide a taxi service.
At least as important as these practical functions is the role the parents play in communicating messages about the importance of sport, And how it should be played.
Children's experiences of sport all heavily influenced by adults, and the extent to which their overall experience is either positive or negative is largely determined by parents, coaches, teachers and others. So it is vitally important the parents are involved in new sports from the very beginning. Some of the more visible problems with the parents, such as bad behavior during matches and access pressure on the children, could be either avoided or minimized by effective communication of expectations between key adult socializes.
I no longer work as a club coach. When I did, I always found time to talk to parents about their child's participation in sport, what should be expected, and useful ways of supporting it. I did a similar thing when I worked as a physical education teacher.
I think the evidence suggests that children are much more likely to have positive experiences of sport if their parents and coaches share values and expectations about youth sport.
I think it is important that coaches establish Communication channels from the very beginning with parents, and maintain it with regular information. There is a lot more that national governing bodies can do to promote this, and it will be good to see accessible practical resources made available to coaches for engaging parents.
We need to start educating parents. Some parents have clearly lost sight of the purpose of youth sport, and seemed to think it is a way to wealth and success, rather than and inherently valuable and exciting experience for young people.
In most cases, discussions about talent are completely inappropriate, and merely serve to reinforce unrealistic expectations and unhealthy pressure.
I'm working on a number of projects connected coaching at the moment. I'm carrying out studies examining coaches' knowledge about learning and the brain, as misunderstandings in this area often result's in the introduction of ridiculous and ineffective practices.
I'm also hoping to carry out studies looking at international policy for coach education. In most countries of the world, there is little or no coach education, and that raises serious concerns about the quality of coaches working with young people.

Effort Seeks to Reduce Ear-Tube Surgeries for Small Children
By Sumathi Reddy
Parents of young, otherwise healthy children fear them like the plague: ear infections…Contributing to a desire by doctors and parents to avoid surgery are concerns about the use of general anesthesia in young children. Researchers and doctors are exploring devices that would enable ear-tube procedures to be performed using alternatives. Preceptis Medical, a Plymouth, Minn., company, is testing a device, the Hummingbird, that uses nitrous oxide instead of general anesthesia in clinical trials at four sites, including the Mayo Clinic…Randall Flick, director of the Mayo Clinic Children's Center, said his and other studies show the risk seems to occur after multiple exposures.

Pre-Surgery Routine Needs an Update
Says Doc, For years, patients preparing for colon surgery have been told to stick to a liquid diet and do a colon cleanse. The only problem? There's not much science to back up those suggestions, says Robert Cima of the Mayo Clinic. He and his Mayo colleagues subscribe instead to the "enhanced recovery" approach, which spares patients the fasting and heavy narcotics in favor of regular meals and over-the-counter painkillers. Surgery is like running a marathon, he says, and the body needs to be in a normal state to brace for the big event.

"Take me home," she said into his shirt.

ABC News (Women's Health), 6 Scents That Have the Power to Heal, No longer just the domain of new-age spas and hippie enclaves, essential oils have become a $1.2 billion business. The plant-extracted, highly concentrated liquids have historically been selling points in beauty and cleaning products—and now research proves that when inhaled properly, they're also good medicine, says Brent Bauer, M.D., director of the Complementary and Integrative Medicine program at the Mayo Clinic.
Post-Bulletin, Answer Man: More on Mayo, As a wrapup to my excellent columns on long-ago Rochester businessman Mayo Priebe, which I have to admit have been a great contribution to the historical record, I'll give the last word to one of Mayo's daughters — though as you know, I always get the last word. Always. Mayo Priebe was the gent who tried to market aspirin with the brand name Mayo-Cin in 1957; Mayo Clinic quickly put a stop to that little headache, winning a permanent injunction from the Minnesota Supreme Court in 1962. In the P-B's coverage of the Olmsted County District Court trial in 1959, Priebe testified that he sold "Mayos Aspirin" locally as early as 1926.
The New Age, Diabetes drug might also aid weight loss…According to Dr. Maria Collazo-Clavel, an associate professor at College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic and medical editor of diabetes content on Mayo's health information website and for "Mayo Clinic The Essential Diabetes Book," the drug works mainly by suppressing appetite. She says on the Mayo Clinic's website that the drug delays the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine, increasing the amount of time in which the patient is satiated.
WZZM Grand Rapids, Two drugs not better than 1 to keep breast cancer away, It looks like two drugs are not better than one for a woman with HER2-positive breast cancer. The Mayo Clinic just reported the results of a phase three clinical trial. Researchers paired the drug Herceptin, known to prevent the return of cancer, with another drug called lapatinib…"These results were surprising and very important," said Dr. Edith Perez with the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center.

Post-Bulletin, Mayo Clinic's peregrine falcons banded, dubbed Chuck, Will, Worrall by Brianna Jett, The high-pitched screeching of three peregrine falcon chicks mixed with the "oohs" and "ahs" of a crowded auditorium Wednesday. The male peregrine falcon chicks were plucked from their nest atop the downtown Mayo Building and brought down using two elevators to the Geffen Auditorium in the Gonda Building. In front of a crowd of patients and community members, blood samples were taken, and tracking bands were strapped to the legs of the screeching baby birds. "It's just amazing," said Tom Behrens, head of Mayo Clinic's Facilities Operations. "There's something about it — they just draw people."

HealthLeaders Media, 10 Ways to Halt Drug Diversion by Healthcare Workers by Cheryl Clark… The Mayo Clinic, is rigorous about preventing opioid-addicted workers from stealing injectable drugs and putting patients at risk. It may be more relentless in its efforts than any other healthcare organization in the country. That's because it has encountered the problem so often—at least 40 times in the last five years, says Keith Berge, MD, a Mayo anesthesiologist who chairs the clinic's Medication Diversion Prevention Committee and heads the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.
Florida Times-Union, Mayo study in Jacksonville identifies a technique that may be able to diagnose pancreatic cancer at an early stage, An optical blood oxygen sensor attached to an endoscope is able to identify pancreatic cancer in patients via a simple endoscopic procedure, according to researchers at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

Florida Times-Union, U.S. Supreme Court ends decades of delays, demands Big Tobacco pay verdicts by Andrew Pantazi, Nearly two decades after a Volusia County woman stopped breathing, the tobacco company courts said owed her family $17 million now will have to pay, and there's no more getting around it. Jacqueline Miller was 64, not yet retired as a caretaker, when she was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1994, still smoking two packs a day. Within months, she was dying at Jacksonville's Mayo Clinic and asking that tobacco smoke be fanned in her face so she could get one last hit of nicotine.
Chicago Tribune, Child with glasses should have regular eye exams to keep prescription up to date by Brian Mohney, M.D., Ophthalmology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., DEAR MAYO CLINIC: My 11-year-old son began wearing glasses for nearsightedness when he was 7. Since then, his prescription has gotten steadily stronger. He has needed new glasses about every 8-10 months. His optometrist says this is not uncommon, but I'm worried. Is there an age a child's eyesight typically stops changing? Should our son see an ophthalmologist for a more thorough assessment?
Chicago Tribune, New test to detect colon cancer won't replace colonoscopy in all cases by David Ahlquist, M.D., Gastroenterology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I recently read about a new screening test for colon cancer that uses a stool sample to detect cancer. How soon will this be available to the public? Is the test reliable enough to replace a colonoscopy?

Electra and Red Electra Moscatos are our most popular wines and are made in the light, spritzy, unfortified Moscato d'Asti style. They are refreshing anytime, perfect for brunches, BBQs, and paired with your favorite savory or sweet foods. Our winemakers blend Orange and Black Muscat along with Muscat Canelli to create Moscato that is crisp and full of fresh, ripe fruit. Fans call Electra The Smile Wine because of the smiles that inevitably appear upon first sip.
We celebrate the finest quality muscat grapes in single varietal bottlings of fortified Orange and Black Muscat dessert wines. The varieties we use are rare, delicious expressions of the fruit filled San Joaquin Valley. The winemaking style is aromatic, full-bodied and perfectly balanced to finish clean, not cloying. These are the wines that solidified Andrew Quady as a sweet wine specialist. Our dessert wines are fortified to 15% alcohol.
Vya was created with the idea that vermouth could be enjoyed similarly to other wines: by swirling it in the glass, smelling the aromatics, and enjoying the subtle flavors. It is lovingly hand-infused in small batches at Quady Winery with over seventeen different herbs. Vya makes an elegant aperitif by itself and brings forth new dimensions in cocktails. Read more about the Vya story.
If you like port you will love our Starboard. Starboard is made using traditional Portuguese grape varieties grown in the foothills of Amador County. Starboard has the bright fruit of ruby style port and the round nutty character of tawny port. This is due to our distinctive climate and soils, which resemble those of Portugal. Out of deference for the fine tradition that all port must come from the Douro in Portugal, our ports are named Starboard, nautically on the right of the boat from port.
If you enjoy amontillado sherry, you should try our Palomino Fino. Nutty, buttery, complex, this is possibly the only amontillado style sherry made in the U.S.
Quady North Winery began in 2005 when the Quady family planted Rhone varieties in the Applegate Valley of Southern Oregon. Herb Quady, winemaker, and son of Andrew and Laurel Quady, has turned this succession of the Quady name into an award winning winery showcasing small lot, expressive, vineyard select Viognier, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Rhone blends sourced from his estate vineyard and other carefully selected Southern Oregon vineyards.

Kylie Jenner Found Her Favorite Snapchat Filter, And It's A Weird One
By Jake Cappuccino
What is going on with Kylie Jenner on Snapchat? Doesn't she remember we all see everything she puts up there from the face swaps to the actual Snapchats meant to communicate something to one person?
The latest and greatest from the 18-year-old superstar has me wondering a few things.
First, what does Kylie do when she's not Snapchatting because that seems like it's always going on.
Second, if you're going to play with lenses, Kylie, why choose the zebra? You could be a hilarious police officer with a mustache or literally made of money with the Benjamin Franklin $100 bill lens. You could be a Viking with a beard or the Mona Lisa.
In terms of animals, you could be a dog, a pink and white cat, a creepy panda, a bull and even a koala, so why are you so hooked to the zebra, Kylie?
Last, is your irregular Snapchatting a reaction to the breakup with Tyga? If it is, my bad, you do you with your zebra Snapchat lens photos.
Anyway, whether she's lip syncing or playing with a dog, Kylie Jenner is obviously having a lot of fun with the zebra Snapchat filter. See for yourself and check out her zebra Snapchats below.

ECPAT UK welcomes funding for investigating transnational child exploitation
Wednesday, 3rd April 2019
Following the landmark Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) investigation in which ECPAT UK played a central role as core participant, the Department for International Development (DFID) has committed to funding to ensure children abroad are protected from British sex offenders.
Penny Mordaunt, the UK's International Development Secretary, has today committed £3 million in aid funding to the National Crime Agency (NCA) to investigate cases of transnational sex offenders.
For 25 years, ECPAT UK has called on the government to ensure the protection of children abroad. As core participant in the Inquiry's investigation into the protection of children outside the UK, evidence submitted by ECPAT UK made public the failures of UK institutions to protect children abroad from sexual abuse by its citizens. Along with other participating organisations, ECPAT UK recommended to the Inquiry that the government must urgently increase resources for law enforcement to ensure proper investigations take place.
Inadequate resourcing of investigations into transnational child sexual exploitation puts vulnerable children at risk of further harm and allows offenders to commit abuse with impunity. While evidence on successful operations carried out by the National Crime Agency was presented to the Inquiry, it also heard evidence on the challenges of prosecuting offenders who sexually abuse children abroad.
This included cases such as UK sex offender Patrick Matthews, who was prosecuted for the sexual abuse of children in India, but due to delays in making formal requests to enable the witnesses to give evidence via video link, the prosecution fell apart.
Laura Durán, Senior Policy, Research and Practice Officer at ECPAT UK, said
"We welcome this commitment in aid funding, but emphasise it is vital that the government develop a comprehensive, coherent national plan to tackle this issue.
"The last time there was a national plan of action on this form of child exploitation by UK nationals was in 2001. Two decades on, it is long overdue and imperative that the government implements a national plan to ensure a robust and coordinated approach by all agencies."

U.K. Adopts Law for Net Zero Fossil Fuel Pollution by 2050
(Bloomberg) -- The lower chamber of Britain's Parliament approved a move to toughen targets on fossil fuel pollution, setting a goal of reaching a level of net zero by 2050.
The House of Commons agreed without a vote Monday to amend the existing law. If the upper House of Lords agrees to do the same on June 26, Britain will become the first major economy to pass a law requiring it to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the point where it makes no net contribution to rising global temperatures.
The move will give Prime Minister Theresa May something to point to as a legacy from her troubled three years in office. While Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond raised concern about the costs of the new goal, May has said cutting pollution doesn't have to harm economic growth. She said she was inspired to adopt the goal after seeing retreating glaciers while holidaying in the Swiss Alps.
Britain has slashed carbon dioxide output 44% since 1990 to the lowest levels since the 1890s, according to data from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Labour economic spokesman John McDonnell has said he will explore bringing forward the target date if Labour wins power. He's also pledged to close a loophole in the current law so as to include emissions that are "imported" via goods manufactured in other countries, such as China.

The Windows Forensic Environment (a.k.a. WinFE) is a Windows based bootdisk that can be used as a platform for computer forensic analysis. Being Windows based it enables users to run a number of Windows programs that they might already be familiar with. It is an alternative or addition to a number of forensically focused Linux distributions.
WinFE is not, as far as I am aware, available as a commercial product from Microsoft. It is however relatively easy to create WinFE for personal use from freely available tools.
Troy Larson, Senior Forensic Examiner of Microsoft©, is credited with creating the Windows Forensic Environment. A Guide to Basic Computer Forensics is available here and is worth reading for those new to the subject.
WinFE is in essence a Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) with two minor registry edits that are applied to ensure that any hard disks are not automatically mounted during the WinPE/WinFE boot process - minimising the risk of the contamination of data/evidence. WinFE is a lightweight version of Windows that can be used for many tasks - it is a complete, standalone operating system and will work independently of any other operating systems already installed. See here for a summary of WinPE - much of which applies to WinFE.
For more detailed information about WinFE, please refer to "The (Nearly) Perfect Forensic Boot CD" by Brett Shavers (available here).
The CyberSecurtiy Institute states that "...When performing a computer forensics analysis, we must do everything possible to preserve the original media and data...". Preservation of data is one of the core requirements of computer forensics and steps should be taken to ensure that evidence is not contaminated. Although this might not always be possible, accidental writes to evidence should be avoided. Hardware write blockers are often used as a means of ensuring data integrity by preventing accidental writes from occurring.
WinFE is a software based solution, however there are conflicting reports that WinFE might write to a hard disk without any user interaction, prior to any commands being executed. The majority of these reports indicate that WinFE writes a disk signature to the master boot record (MBR) of any attached hard disks if one is not already present - this reportedly occurs during the boot process.
In order to get some clarification about whether WinFE performs any accidental writes I started a discussion/topic on the reboot.pro forum - "Is WinFE Forensically Sound?" (see here). The purpose of this was to try to establish in what circumstances, if any, WinFE might write to a hard disk. Although the writing of a disk signature does not in itself invalidate any evidence gathered when using WinFE, I wanted some clarification about this poorly documented behaviour. I also wanted information about real world experiences of using WinFE and in particular incidents of unplanned disk writes, so that they could be avoided in future. Knowing in what circumstances WinFE might write to a disk allows steps to be taken to prevent this from (re)occurring.
Sadly there appeared to be little publicly available information and the responses I received were vague. I therefore decided to undertake my own tests. This was encouraged by a fellow reboot.pro forum member and has led to this document - credit therefore goes to Wonko the Sane for his support and encouragement with my research.
I still find it strange that in a field that focuses on strict procedures for the gathering of evidence to ensure data integrity, little testing appears to have been done on the tools used to actually gather the evidence. I am in no way anti the use of WinFE - I just find the vague and conflicting reports frustrating and unacceptable, and hope that this document can provide some answers.
Please note that the different builds have different features - see here for a comparison.
SAN policy number 3 - Doesn't mount storage devices.
SAN policy number 4 - New for Windows 8. Makes internal disks offline. Note. All external disks and the boot disk are online.
The following is from Brett Shavers "The (Nearly) Perfect Forensic Boot CD"
"The registry modifications; this is where it all rests with WinFE, afterall, any WinPE can boot to a CD or USB, but it is the disabling the auto-mounting of the hard drives which is the key."
It's possible to set the SANPolicy as 3 (or 3/4 in WinFE 4.0/5.x) without setting NoAutoMount - I posted my results with different combinations of these two registry keys here. Please do use caution as any Online disks will be allocated a drive letter if NoAutoMount is not set - potentially resulting in disk writes and evidence contamination. NoAutoMount adds a greater level of security - particularly if WinFE 2.x\3.x is used.
"...I did some testing yesterday (not with WinFE, but with the 2 special registry entries), and it seems difficult to prevent Windows from writing this 4 byte signature when it's missing. I was tracing it into the kernel and suspect the relevant code is somewhere within IoCreateDisk (look for references to DeviceObject), but was unable to prevent the writing..."
"...Rest assured that as soon as a Windows NT EITHER: finds the 4 bytes of the disk signature set as 00 00 00 00 OR: finds two disks with the SAME disk signature - the disk signature will be written at mount time."
the Volume PBR offset on that disk..."
The commandline application Diskpart is included in WinFE and provides a means of manipulating disks to provide or restrict access. In my tests, which are detailed below, I found that some Diskpart commands documented elsewhere failed in WinFE - most notably the ATTRIBUTE DISK SET READONLY command.
The Write Protect Tool (WProtect.exe) is a third party application developed by Colin Ramsden (see here) that can be used to set a disk as READONLY - preventing accidental writes and preserving evidence.
Mr Ramsden's Write Protect Tool provides an easy to use GUI that in my opinion is not only easier to use but also works better than diskpart. Mr Ramsden has made it freely available for non-profit use and the tool is available from his website.
Ideally I would have liked to have used a physical system for testing - unfortunately I did not have any spare hardware and therefore had to rely on virtual systems running on a PC.
The initial tests were carried out in a virtual environment using QEMU. The WinFE I used for those tests was created from a WinPE 3.1 base - more accurately boot.wim from a Windows 7 DVD, which was then customised with the required registry settings.
Unfortunately the other WinFE builds that required testing would not boot on this system. After checking a number of different virtual solutions I settled on VMwarePlayer - which is free for personal use.
A fixed size disk image 1GB in size was created. A small file size was used so that the MD5 checks could be completed quickly. Using a fixed image makes it easier to find and either view or extract the MBR.
The disk was partitioned and formatted using a Windows 98 SE boot disk. This resulted in a FAT32 formatted partition spanning the whole of the disk. Using DOS ensured that the disk image did not contain a disk signature in the MBR.
This disk image was then used as the base image for all further tests. An MD5 check was undertaken to establish the MD5 checksum of the disk image file - this could then be compared with MD5 checksums taken after a test to monitor for any changes.
This following test was then carried out on all WinFE versions tested.
WinFE was booted and the registry hive was loaded using Regedit. The MountedDevices key was then checked for any entries for a hard disk (the mounted disk image file).
A hex editor was then used to check for a disk signature.
Diskpart was used to check for information including disk status and attributes.
WinFE was shutdown and an MD5 checksum was obtained from the disk image file, and compared to the MD5 checksum taken prior to booting WinFE.
Any further tests carried out depended on the outcome of this initial test.
I have included WinFE versions 4.0/5.0/5.1 in the same section as they performed identically in the tests I carried out - even down to the screenshots and diskpart output.
NOTE - a SanPolicy value of 4 was used during testing (see here).

After the above tests the system was shut down and an MD5 checksum of the disk image file was taken. This was checked against the checksum taken before WinFE had booted and had not changed - indicating that no writes had been performed.
I then tested the same disk image, however this time I manually added a disk signature (A8FE 37C8) to the disk image before booting WinFE.
Despite having a disk signature added, the MountedDevices key had identical entries to those in the previous test which used a disk without a disk signature. There were no entries for a hard disk - possibly because it had been flagged as OFFLINE due to the WinFE registry settings.
After the tests the system was shut down and the MD5 checksum was obtained from the disk image file. This was checked against the checksum taken before WinFE had booted and had not changed - indicating that no writes had been performed.
I believe that the failure to ONLINE the disk in the first test was a result of it not containing a disk signature. A disk signature couldn't be added as the disk was write protected and NT based systems cannot mount partitions on a disk without a valid disk signature - something stated earlier by reboot.pro forum member Wonko the Sane (here).
The Write Protect Tool was able to ONLINE a disk and mount partitions on disks without a disk signature. Unfortunately this was only possible if the write protection was first removed so that a disk signature could be written - something the Write Protect Tool was able to do despite this not being possible using Diskpart.
Although it is not possible to mount partitions on disks without a valid signature, it is still possible to copy the disk with a number of imaging tools including dd. It might be possible to mount partitions using the devio and imdisk tools, however I have not had the opportunity to test this. As all Windows NT based systems will already contain a disk signature the number of cases in which this will be an issue is limited to non Windows NT systems. If a disk was previously attached to a Windows NT system it may still contain a valid signature.
I have included WinFE versions 2.1/3.0/3.1 in the same section as they performed identically in the tests I carried out - even down to the screenshots and diskpart output.
NOTE - a SanPolicy value of 3 was used during testing (see here).
To summarise, there is no way to prevent these versions of WinFE from writing to a disk if it doesn't already contain a disk signature - without the user actually overwriting parts of the MBR themselves (see post #15 here).
My attempts to mark a disk as READONLY using diskpart failed. It was possible to set the READONLY attribute using the Write Protect Tool, however this cannot prevent the writing of a disk signature as this appears to occur earlier in the boot process.
Whilst it was not possible to use Diskpart to change the disk attributes to READONLY, it was possible to change volume attributes. It is well documented that doing so writes to the disk and this was confirmed in my own test as the MD5 checksum changed after the READONLY flag was added to a volume.
I also noticed that mounting a drive and viewing its contents (e.g. in a file manager or at the command line using the dir command), without attempting to carry out any writes to the disk, resulted in the disk image files MD5 checksum changing - indicating that a write had been performed. This is preventable using the Write Protect Tool to mark the disk as READONLY - something that can be done during the boot process by using the wprotect.exe -i command in winpeshl.ini.
Following the experiments I carried out in the reboot.pro forum (see links above), and the tests discussed here, I'd personally recommend using a WinFE based on WinPE 4.0 or 5.x with the SanPolicy set as 4. Based on my results this appears to provide robust protection from any writes to the disk(s) being carried out. It is however possible with all versions of WinFE to manually override protection so care should be taken.
If you must use WinFE based on earlier versions of WinPE (2.x/3.x) then I'd personally recommend running a 32-bit version and using the Write Protect Tool to ensure that all internal disks are set as readonly before any further action is carried out - just be aware that a disk signature will be written if one is not already present on the disk.
I would strongly advise against using WinFE 2.x/3.x without the Write Protect Tool as the simple act of browsing a mounted disk appears to perform a write action - as evidenced by the MD5 checks I carried out before and after booting WinFE. It was not possible to use Diskpart to set a disk as READONLY despite documentation elsewhere stating that this command works.
In something as critical as Forensic Examination, WinFE needs validation and testing to ensure that no writes are performed on any evidence disk(s), or to at least be clear in what circumstances writes might be performed. The test that I carried out were limited to 32-bit Windows Forensic Environments - other versions may behave differently.
The tests I performed were limited to a virtual environment and I cannot guarantee that WinFE will function in the same way on actual hardware.
There are a number of variables that need to be taken into consideration before using WinFE - unfortunately I do not have the time or the means to test them all. The WinFE's that I used during testing were modified boot.wim files from Windows Installation Media - they were not created using the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) or the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). WAIK or ADK builds of WinFE can contain different combinations of optional "Packages" which might affect usage.
There are reports that dynamic disks are automatically mounted and writable with some builds of WinFE (see here and here).


Any pokemon fan should get this, It is a MUST-HAVE for the people who LOVE classic games like me.
I'm sorry, but I'm in desperate need of answers. For weeks on end, I've been trying to find an r4-compatible mod of this game to replace my currently broken one. I ran into an Ask Yahoo thread that brought me here, so I need to know...is this compatible with an r4?
love it pokemon fans hard breathing cause this game rocks!!!!!
Anyone know what the difference between this and the 3541 version is?
I have to admit, this game was one of the few that I enjoyed. :) Pokemon never fails to entertain me.
This is da best pokemon game ever! You should download and play it!
I have had this before, it is amazing, if you are a Pokemon lover like me definitely get it, it has also got amazing graphics however my other version crashed before I could end the game :( That was upsetting. I'm joking but seriously it is an amazing game, get it.

Coconut is a round and elongate fruit of white, fibrous and oily meat covered by a thick, brown and hairy shell. Coconuts are surrounded by a fibrous kernel, inside which is a white meat called copra. When the fruit is still tender it yields a milky fluid that is commonly used as basic food in some zones.
Nutrition and eating
Coconuts represent an important nutritional supply in the diet of the Arabs in the desert. One hundred grams of this product provide with 363 to 669 kcal. The same amount supplies between 4.8 and 10.8 of glucids and around 9 g of fibre.
Among the minerals of this tropical fruit we underline the importance of potassium (35-650 mg for 100 g of produce) and chlorine (122-190 mg for 100 g of fresh produce).
The fruit
Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a round and elongate fruit of white, fibrous and oily meat covered by a thick, brown and hairy shell. Coconuts are surrounded by a fibrous kernel, inside which is a white meat called copra. When the fruit is still tender it yields a milky fluid that is commonly used as basic food in some zones. There is a predominant use of coconut in the production of copra: the dried kernel of the coconut, from which oil is obtained. The remainders are used as animal fodder. Despite the fact that coconut oil is not one of the most important vegetable oils, it is a lauric oil, and as so it deserves a place in the world-wide market. The fruit of the coconut palm is the coconut and it is also intended for processing.
From these palms (coconut palms) we obtain coconuts. Coconuts weigh on the average 2.5 kg and in fact they are not nuts, but fruit in drupes. From these nuts we make ropes and other fibre products thanks to their external fibrous covering. They have an almond inside, consumed fresh or dried, from which we obtain copra. By means incising the coconut palm's inflorescences and gathering the fluid (sap) exuding from them, we make fermented drinks, alcohol vinegar or sugar. The terminal buds of the palm tree are also consumed, fresh, in stews or as a vegetable (Coconut cabbage). From the coconut shell we can make drink containers and other utensils, or we can use it as coal.
The young green coconuts have a lot of milk and very few pulp, but with a very good taste and gelatinous texture; they are highly appreciated in the producing areas for their consumption. Coconuts are a basic ingredient in the Malayan, Indian and Indonesian cooking: the pulp is grated and added to pies, rice, meat or fish. In Europe and other non-producing areas, grated coconut gives an exotic touch to salads and preserves, custard, pudding, ice creams, cakes, biscuits and pies. It is also used for meat, fish or vegetable pastry.
Coconuts provide with many calories due to their high oil content. Their energetic value is around 363.3-669 kcal for each 100 grams of fresh produce. Potassium is one of their most important mineral component. Each 100 grams of edible fresh produce supply between 315-650 g of potassium and 810 g of selenium.
At present, the coconut culture has spread to many temperate areas, and has gained a great commercial value.
The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is one of the most cultivated palms in the world and one of the most useful for the human being. It is mainly appreciated for its fruits or coconuts.
Cocos nucifera are a monoecious palm, that measures between 25 and 30 m high. Its trunk is marked by the scars of the leaves, it has 30 to 40 cm of diameter and a heavy base formed by roots. The trunk ends up in a bunch with twenty pinnate leaves that reach up to six and a half meters long. Every year 10 to 20 new leaves are formed, according to the variety and ecological conditions. The extremely developed root system is composed of thousands of thin and long roots.
The grafted inflorescences have a great number of flowers of both sexes. These inflorescences, or spadices, are contained in a great bract called spathe. The feminine flowers are born in the base of the ramifications, whereas the masculine flowers are above. After their fertilization the flowers are transformed into ovoid drupes, each one composed of a seed. This seed is the coconut, whose fibrous covering dries up and hardens when ripening.
The coconut itself is formed by a very hard endocarp, 5 mm thick, inside of which is the endosperm of a whitish colour and containing an opaline and sweetened fluid, "the coconut milk', filling three quarters of its central cavity. The fruits are gathered in clusters of 10 to 15 coconuts.

Q: Calculus proof for volume of a general pyramid Is the proof on the volume of a generalzing the volume of a square pyramid correct
Introduce a $z$ axis perpendicular to the base, and positive in the downward direction, with the origin at the tip of the pyramid.
Let the area of the base of the pyramid be $B$.
For $0<z<h$, a cross section parallel to the base of the pyramid is similar to the base. Since the side lengths are $\propto z$, the area are $\propto  z^2$.
$$\text{Area of Cross Section at a depth of z = } A(z) = B\times\frac{z^2}{h^2}$$
Now, using the standard Calculus formula for volume of a solid:
$$\text{Volume}
=\int_{0}^{h}{A(z)}dz
=\int_{0}^{h}{\left(B\times\frac{z^2}{h^2}\right)}dz
=\frac{B}{h^2}\int_{0}^{h}{z^2}dz
=\frac{B}{h^2}\times \frac{h^3}{3}
=\frac{Bh}{3}
$$
which is the standard formula for volume of a pyramid

UPDATED! RHOBH Season Twelve Welcomes TWO New Women
All seven housewives are returning for Season 12 of RHOBH that is currently shooting, but partially shutdown due to some housewives testing positive for Covid. They are still shooting individual Christmas scenes with the housewives that were not infected. It looks like Dorit's "burglary" saved her diamond. Go figure. Kathy Hilton is also returning as a friend now that Paris's eons long wedding and group
Today E! is exclusively reporting two new faces for the upcoming season. First up is Sheree Zampino. She was married to Will Smith in the early nineties. They share a son, Trey Smith who is 29 . Sheree is super tiny. She's not even five feet tall! She's an artist, and an "entrepreneur." So should be be expecting a line of joggers in Spring, Summer, September? She is a friend of along with Kathy Hilton.
UPDATED: Found out a few more things about Sheree. First of all, she is a longtime friend of Garcelle. So she will come in as her friend. That could push Sutton aside a little bit.
But the important tidbit, is Sheree thinks she is some sort of spiritual advisor and posts here cashapp and Venmo on her IG and asks her followers to send her money, "If you agree, sow a seed in someone's life. Agreement activates our partnership with God! Sowing financially is your greatest sacrifice- it's hard to part with something you think you need. CashApp or Venmo some1 you know $1, 5, 10… When they ask you why? Tell them, I'm sowing into GOOD ground – and I know – because God himself put you on my heart! 🙌🏽❤"
This is how we touch & agree so that the spiritual is honored, therefore granted permission & access to the natural! 🙌🏽
$ShereeZampino (Cash App)
@Sheree-Zampino (Venmo)
Even the other Sheree never asked for people to send her money!
Sanela Diana Jenkins, who goes by Diana, has apparently secured an eighth diamond. I feel like that could be because she was supposed to replace Dorit. I'm not sure of that though. Eight housewives and two friends seems like a lot of women. Especially with all of Erika's drama taking up screen time. Diana is a mother of three. She is 48 and originally from Bosnia. She is very into philanthropy so she may know Sutton Stracke. Diana's established several advocacy programs and organizations, including UCLA's Sanela Diana Jenkins Human Rights Project and the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization, the latter of which she formed with actor Sean Penn.
This seems like a whole lot chefs in the kitchen. What do you think? Does it seem like too many women to you? Especially with Covid and how they seem to be stuck filming from home or in small groups. I guess we will wait and see.

I was hoping a few of them (Dorit/Rinna/Erika) wouldn't be coming back.
cody says
memyselfandi says
So I thought that name Sanela Diana Jenkins sounded familiar then remembered where I saw it many years ago.
If you want to go down a rabbit hole there are some wild conspiracy theories about her Room 23 book.
OMG, I went down your rabbit hole🤭 😳
K'man says
TT, I hope all is well and happy holidays. Now to Beverly Hills, If it's gotten to the point of 8 diamonds that means others might not be pulling their weight. Really excited Kathy is back, I like her ensentricness/cookieness especially when the storylines get of dark. Sheree…. I'm not a fan of because she was on VH1 show a few years back about being a ex wife and she was extremely dry/Boring. not saying she needed to be the angry women of color but her personality came very better than you/churchy (Alexis bollio status in her first season of RHOC) plus at the time she was living in San Diego.
Idk what Beverly's hills budget is for 8 diamonds and 2 friends. This get me mad because on RHOM their is 6 mojito holder yet, the most important cast members Adriana and to a less extent Marisol aren't full time. If Beverly Hills could do it why can't Miami. I know it's peacock is a different situation but it just me ranting now.
New housewives do not make these huge salaries that people used to get. They have people killing each other to work on the show. The friends make VERY little per episode. Rumor has it Kathy held out for more money and got it. But I don't think even she makes serious money on the show. Kyle, Rinna and Erika do. Dorit is paid more than she is worth. I don't think adding the two new people will break the bank. I do think it is way too many people for everyone to have enough screen time to get their stories out there.
That's true, they don't make a lot of money. It's all about the exposure. With this many people on the cast, I can see a lot of them (except Kyle, Kathy, Garcelle and Erika) getting the mic'd background character edit the way Crystal did a lot last season. Where they don't speak and don't get a talking head in group scenes.
That's odd Sheree has a her CashApp or Venmo available like that, it comes off very suspect. The spiritual advisor title always seems shady used in any context. But her connection to god makes sense because she was married to a preacher in San Diego, while on the VH1 show. The show really showed her escaping San Diego because her "life and career" was in Los Angeles/Hollywood.
I remember Sheree from that show. She was married to a preacher and seemed very dissatisfied with her life in San Diego. I'm not surprised she is now divorced from him.
I know she asked Will for the divorce and he was blindsided. I wonder if she regrets it?
She is from a small town in upstate NY. It was a big deal when they got married. Will paid for her family and friends to come to the wedding. He paid for clothes, food , hotel, airfare, etc. It was an all expense paid weekend for her guests. I saw the photos. I used to work with a good friend of hers. He kept me entertained with the glamorous stories. She was generous with her friends, she would fly them to California and other places to vacation with her and Will.
She's nice from what the people we know in common say. She's a friend who hasn't forgotten where she came from.
She is not good with money and had to get help from Will a few times.
thanks for the update! hope your doing ok
Maybe Erika's drama will not be centerstage? I mean it has not been in the press as much as before. I thought it was just a bunch of legal proceedings happening now.
It definitely does feel like a lot of people but also half of them do nothing anyways Dorit does nothing, her robbery is 2 episodes max. Lisa & Kyle do not do much either. Maybe Sheree and Sanela can add something.
Unpopular opinion but I do not understand fawning over Kathy. She is fine but honestly, she did not say much. All she did was play dumb. I do not dislike her, but she was not that interesting.
I still don't understand why Kim is not filming. Why don't they follow the Kim, Kathy, Kyle relationship? Seems like a missed opportunity.
I saw video of all three sisters at an event not too long ago, and Kim didn't seem to be doing that great. And Kathy seemed to be sort of shielding Kim from the cameras.
JoJoFLL says
Kim doesn't need to be on TV. Clearly it triggers her.
I think Kathy has a lot of gravitas in BH society. She's had everyone who is anyone to her home, throws lavish parties, knows Everybody – going back to the OJ trial her home was the hub of parties/discussions about the trial because she was in the inside circle of Nicole's friends; (Kris Kardashian, Faye Resnick, etc.). I read all of Dominick Dunne's coverage of the trial and she seemed to figure prominently. So maybe she is the queen of BH society? Even LVP used to go to her parties even when Kyle wasn't speaking to her. And she's funny AF, and we need that counterpoint to the other "Ladies". IMO.
If you were fascinated Dominick Dunne's coverage of the "Trial of the Century," check out his "fictional" account, "Another City Not My Own." Much like James Ellroy does, Dunne can put the REALLY GOOD stuff in the book because it's presented as fiction.
BeeSmart says
Sheree was on Hollywood Exes, I knew I knew her from somewhere. I don't think she pronounces her name like the Jogger Queen Sheree, it's more like Shari. I could be remembering wrong though. Maybe these 2 will end up making Bravo get rid of a couple of the other ones that have outlasted their shelf life.
LA_in_KY says
I have no desire to see Ericka any more. Did I even spell her name right?
PortiaP says
Same here. Why keep beating a dead horse? She's been squeezed dry and is devoid of all content. I'm so tired of her.
I am surprised that they will have two new housewives, we just got to know Garcelle and Sutton a bit better, and then came Crystal.
Funny coincidence the burglary chez Kemsley's took place the day it did.
FGF says
Sheree used to be model and is still very attractive. She sells clothes and accessories and has a product call "Whoop Ash" that is actually really great. I hope she uses this platform better than she used Hollywood Exes. I'm also interested to see if she brings Nicole Murphy onto RHOBH because they're best friends.
Sheree's whoop ash will be availableagain, it was shut down for a little while. I ordered it a few years ago and really liked it.
I didn't know she modeled, especially with her height. From what I was told she is a decent person to go along with her good looks.
POST UPDATED!
My hunch is that Erika's legal issues will not be front and center again this season. What else is there to say about that at this point? It will take years to sort that all out.
Sutton will need a new storyline besides playing Nancy Drew for Girardi-gate.
I don't think Sutton needs a "storyline". When did having a Storyline become a thing? I find her to be fascinating, glamorous, traveled, educated, well-raised, interesting, pretty, eccentric, I could go on- Do we really need more HW's on BH? I think it's a perfectly balanced crew. I could actually do without Lisa more than Dorit. She's fun to look at and make fun of.
Thanks for the tea- I am here for it all. #mentionitall
Westlawn says
Agree on Sutton — she is the "normal" one. Looks like a real human being with normal amounts of makeup, doesn't work hard to be anything but herself, has real human reactions and emotions, etc. I love her! (and Garcelle (sp?))
Deb in SF says
Agree on Rinna versus Dorit. I can tolerate Dorit, and sometimes even enjoy her, but Rinna? Never. I am very much over her, every bit of her.
Harlan says
I'm wondering if they have a larger cast pool due to COVID and some of the ladies not being able to film full season
You have a point. The NBA now allows teams to sign more players to their rosters in case covid depletes the team. RHOB production may be doing the same with 8
Erika's storyline got boring real fast. I hope her drama is overshadowed by better content this season. Sutton just needs to show up with her fabulous clothes and life. I like the old days of real housewives of Beverly Hills when women used to spend money and live large. I'm tired of the intricate storylines about criminal behaviors and private lives and family drama shit. I want to see these women go to places I'll never afford and buy amazing things. Beverly Hills is different from New Jersey, we have higher expectations for them. Someone like Erika, who existed solely due to a Ponzi scheme, doesn't belong on the show. Also, no more of these actresses, they're exhausting (looking at you, Rinna) and always seeking attention.
Totally agree. Tired of the fighting and often drunken behavior on the housewives shows. What happened to fun and fabulous?
kim in oregon says
I'm another one who agrees with this. I really liked seeing all the fabulousness and the stores and the shopping and the trips. I personally think once Brandi came in, the franchise started looking too much like the other ones. Bravo tried to glam it up with actresses but it all just seems so staged.
I agree. We need FUN and GLAMOROUS ESCAPIST TV, not Felons by Bravo for a full season.
Travels With Sutton and Her Fabulous Friends would be ideal. Or bring Jennifer Tilly to RHOBH. Both ladies have fantastic (and differing) style, AND they are smart and funny.
I think they have kept Erika so if any more shit hits the fan, they can be there as it happens. Maybe they brought on extra cast members in the event that Erika had to halt filming due to her issues.
I think it's always good to test out new potential to push others aside. We all know Dorit is on this ice and will have this year but next year?, well now the Sheree joggers bought to you by the various spiritual fans, could be the next up and coming! I'm down with tweaking, I'm personally burned out on fake stores, clothing lines, criminal cases, but I'm always down for a pair of joggers😁
Fizz says
Wasn't Sheree on Garcelle's forest season? She met a few of her friends for lunch and talked about Garcelle briefly dating Will Smith before her and Sheree were friends. Am I creating false housewives memories now?
Stlrfan86 says
Fizz, no, you're right. I remember that group lunch ( or something – it was some kind of get together). I wanted more of Garcelle's friends to join the series and I guess this is who they picked. I am not a fan of Will and Jada though and hope that doesn't get brought up too much – no hate, just not a fan.
I don't care for people and their random begging (is that the right word for this scenario?) for money on Venmo or CashApp. I have a friend who does that – constantly begs for money on the apps and then publicly thanks everyone for their donations. Especially during her birthday month. An example: 'My CashApp been on fire all morning! Y'all have no idea how much joy that gives my sad soul! If you want to contribute to my happiness, here's my info…' For some reason, these constant FB posts annoy me. I hope this new gal doesn't advocate for that on the show. Side note: My friend (f) is also a pastor, married to a pastor (m) – I'm not sure if he does it as I think he's a bit of a grifter anyway. She and I were friends long before they were married
Lastly, I'm with many of these TT family members on here… I would be much more interested if RHOBH got rid of Rinna or Erika – or even Kyle. Rinna has a fascinating 'story line' going on (right now) but you can bet your bippy we won't hear a whisper about it – which is what ticks me off about her. She doesn't mind digging up dirty laundry on her peers and forcefully airing it but… nothing about her and her 'owning it'. I despise her. Not that I think anyone needs a story line but let's be real (like the first word in the franchise)
