I know I know!! It's just been on my mind so much lately! Sometimes I feel guilty because I want things or I get restless because it seems like Jon and I should be getting further in life (a better car, two cars, a house, etc). If I stop and think about it, I KNOW that since I'm still in school and only working part time and things being difficult for everyone everywhere, that we're doing well for our age. We have a nice apartment, a working car, and so many material things. . . And then I feel bad for saying things to Jon about it because I know he works hard to provide and we never really go without! So I've been trying to focus on Phi 4:11 - "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." For me it's more like "...for I [am learning] in whatsoever state I am in, therewith to be content." I guess the good news is that I am aware and working at it! Thoughts??
I think one big factor is that there is such a fine line between hopes/dreams and discontentment. I find myself always looking forward to the next event (fun thing, holiday, trip, etc.) and I think it's the hopes and dreams for our future that keep us going sometimes but you have to be careful not to fall into discontentment. I just told Kevin the other day that I feel torn because I always get so anxious for things (for instance a b.day trip to Disney for me in Oct. and Christmas etc.) and in that sense, you want time to go fast but then I look at Kaelyn and I realize I don't want time to go any faster and as much as I look forward to things in the future, I don't want to spend so much time hoping for what the future will bring that I don't get the full blessing and joy out of life today.
It really is an awesome thing when you can give your "want list" over to God and watch him fulfill those as you try to use your time and resources in a way that's pleasing to him.

Home » The Domaine
Mas de la Lionne, originally built in the 1930's as a farmhouse and peach orchard, was converted into a wine domain in the mid-50's. It been producing outstanding Cotes du Rhone red and rose wines ever since.
Less than a stone's throw from the town of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, La Lionne ("The Lioness") derives its name from the area (quartier) of the town of Sorgues in which it is located. Local town lore explains that this portion of the town was so-named in honor of a lioness which escaped from a traveling circus and lived in the woods here at the turn of the 20th century.
Today, it remains the sole American-run winery in the southern Cotes du Rhone. The domaine has transitioned from an estate winery, limited to making wines from its vineyard, to a negociant enterprise. This change allows us to expand our offerings from solely Cotes du Rhone to wines from nearby appellations, such as Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Follow our expansion on Our Wines page for updated information as our offerings continue to grow.

One of the governing principles sustained by CIEPS, is our permanent commitment towards facilitating accessibility to all health services. This is continuously reflected in the actions of our team of professionals, who permanently pursue non-discrimination and the incorporation of multiculturalism and diversity.
Due to globalization, Santiago has transformed into a city with pronounced economic development, becoming the new home for countless international investors. Furthermore, being a cosmopolitan capital, it is also a place where diplomats and other foreign representatives reside. This has consequently resulted in migrations becoming part of our day to day lives.
CIEPS, is a mental health center that acknowledges the inherent personal costs of migrations, and all processes that changes imply; as well as the difficulties that arise, inevitably impacting all family members. Our team also appreciates the complexity of finding therapists who can adequately apprehend and handle a foreigner´s native language, as well as the idiosyncrasies of diverse cultures.
Taking into consideration these previous notions, CIEPS, has come to be one of the only institutions in Chile to create and develop modalities of bilingual therapy. We rely on a wide range of well-instructed and experienced therapists, who not only speak English natively, but also comprehend the intricacy of different cultures and international customs.

Arrone è un comune italiano di  abitanti  della provincia di Terni in Umbria.

Fa parte del club I borghi più belli d'Italia.

Storia
Sul finire del IX secolo, un nobile romano di nome Arrone, si stabilì nella Valnerina e si impossessò di uno dei promontori rocciosi che vi si ergevano, costruendovi un castello fortificato, inizialmente in legno e poi ricostruito in muratura.
Questo castello fu il primo nucleo del paese, che prese da lui il nome.

Il feudo della nobile famiglia Arrone giunse in seguito ad estendersi da Papigno a S. Pietro in Valle, da Miranda a Labbro, da Piediluco a Melaci e a Polino. Gli Arrone erano legati ai duchi di Spoleto, il cui dominio terminò nel 1198.

Agli inizi del XIII secolo gli Arroni persero progressivamente terre, autonomia e prestigio in favore del nuovo comune di Spoleto, a cui si assoggettarono nel 1229. Gli uomini di Arrone, allora, nel 1315, riscattarono tutto il territorio comunale dagli antichi signori e nel 1347 si costituirono in comune. Nel 1542 gli abitanti si dettero uno statuto e si fecero animatori della rivolta della Bassa Valnerina contro il sistema feudale spoletino (secoli XVII-XVIII). Arrone venne saccheggiato dai lanzichenecchi nel 1527 e dai francesi nel 1799.

Con la restaurazione del governo pontificio, furono aggregate ad Arrone come frazioni comunità fino a quel momento autonome.

Monumenti
Di grande interesse il castello di Arrone, la parte alta dell'abitato, che conserva l'impianto urbanistico medioevale, con le mura e i pittoreschi vicoli. Da visitare: il campanile civico, la torre "degli olivi", la trecentesca chiesa di San Giovanni Battista con affreschi quattrocenteschi di scuola umbra, la cinquecentesca Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Assunta e l'ex convento di San Francesco. Nella vicina frazione di Casteldilago sono notevoli la chiesa di San Nicola, con affreschi di Giovanni di Pietro, detto "Lo Spagna", o di un suo allievo, e il santuario della Madonna dello Scoglio Rotondo.

Eventi

La vicinanza del paese al fiume Nera ha permesso il prodursi di numerose manifestazioni ad esso legate quali gare di discesa in canoa, in natanti autocostruiti ecc che si tengono durante tutta l'estate. Da non perdere ad Arrone anche i festeggiamenti in onore del Patrono S. Giovanni Battista (24 giugno) durante i quali si svolge la "Sagra dell'acqua cotta" presso il centro canoistico e, nel periodo natalizio, la rappresentazione del presepe vivente presso l'antico castello.

Società

Evoluzione demografica

Infrastrutture e trasporti

Attraversata dalla strada statale 209 "Valnerina", Arrone era servita, nel periodo compreso tra il 1909 e il 1960, dalla stazione comune a Montefranco della tranvia Terni-Ferentillo, un'infrastruttura nata per agevolare il trasporto delle merci e delle persone lungo la valle della Nera che risultò determinante ai tempi dell'industrializzazione della stessa.

Amministrazione
Arrone fa parte di:
 Città dell'Olio
 I Borghi più belli d'Italia

Sport
La società calcistica che rappresenta il comune era il Gruppo Sportivo Arrone, squadra che militava nel Girone E di Serie D fino al 2009. La squadra giocava le sue gare interne presso lo stadio comunale sito in Via Piè d'Arrone.
Nel 2009 si è fusa insieme a 2 squadre dilettantistiche di Terni, Gabelletta e Nuova Virgilio Maroso, per formare lo Sporting Terni che attualmente milita in Serie D.

Johansson föddes i ett statarhem i Södermanland. Han arbetade på ett sågverk, men under 1930-talets arbetslöshet gick han på luffen och tog tillfälliga arbeten. Han gick också ett par kurser på folkhögskola. I slutet av 1930-talet gick han till sjöss. Han mönstrade av för gott i Göteborg, tog anställning på en fabrik och fick fru och barn.

Först efter att han blivit förtidspensionerad debuterade han som författare 1976 med Fabriksmänniskan. 1978 utkom Bakom fabriksmurarna. 1981 blev de båda böckerna en teaterpjäs, Tok Alfred av Lennart Hjulström på Folkteatern i Göteborg. Johansson har sammanlagt publicerat tolv böcker.

Han var från 1946 gift med Svea Augusta Evelina Johansson (1920–2000). Enligt Lindelöws bokförlag avled Johansson den 7 juni 2013 i Göteborg, 98 år gammal.

I encountered this problem after I attempted to change my partition's free space to unallocated space, using Partition Magic. I realised only now that it is not working anymore, but it's too late.
I am using a HP Pavilion dv4. The Factory OS is Windows Vista, but I upgraded it to Windows 7 about 1.5 years ago, and it's been working fine. After the darned incident above, my laptop had missing drives. I tried rebooting to see if it would restore the drives, but apparently, I started receiving the message "BOOTMGR is missing".
I've searched online trying to resolve this problem, and it seems that the Windows 7 Installation CD was highly recommended to solve this issue. I used the CD to try and repair, but apparently there was no OS listed. I tried clicking Next anyway, and attempted to Auto Repair. Unfortunately for me, it didn't work.
I read up on this page: http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Windows+Bootloader+from+the+DVD, and tried working on the 3 methods. It all didn't work for me.
For option 2, while attempting to bootrec /rebuildbcd, it prompts an Add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A): message. Whichever choice I entered, it ended up with The system cannot find the path specified.
bcdedit.exe /import c:\boot\bcd.temp which resulted The store import operation has failed. The system cannot find the path specified.
If you have multiple HDDs, disconnect the others and try the "startup repair" again.
I disconnected all my USBs, except for my mouse.
while using Startup Repair, I got this: Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically and recommends that I send information about this problem.
Upon showing the problem, the Problem Event Name is StartupRepairOffline (not sure if this helps).
System volume on disk is corrupt.
*Note: My OS was still not detected, and I clicked on Next without selecting any OS.
That error message is saying that the partitions are messed up. You need to either do a factory reset on the laptop or reinstall Windows yourself. A startup repair will not fix this issue for you.
I can't boot up my laptop at all because the BOOTMGR is missing - does that mean there's no other way I can reinstall my Windows?
I still wish to try and save my 2 of my drives that can't be detected or accessed. I heard a software TestDisk is able to restore it. I need the files inside.
will loading the right driver list my OS? maybe the nuclear holocaust method will be able to save it then. if so, how do I know which driver to load?
this is ridiculous; Partition Magic screwed up my whole laptop!
Check which partition is marked "active"
Maybe the flag got moved or deleted when you were doing things with Partition Magic.
Either W7 (or a small partition named "System Reserved" depending on how you installed W7) should be active for the repair to locate it.
You should be able to access factory reset with F11 at power-up on HP (iirc), which will take you back to Vista most likely, and then re-upgrade to W7 (if the HDD is truly borked).
how do I check if it's marked active? I can't get to the desktop, so there's very limited stuff I can do.
I tried creating a Windows 7 System Repair Disc from my brother's laptop, and booted it on my laptop. currently, I am able to select a restore point, but it does not allow me to select the C: Drive. It reads You must enable System Protection on this drive. Is there any way to enable it using only command prompt? because I can't access the desktop at all.
Thank you guys for your answers, by the way, I really appreciate them.
after modifying the registry it's still not working. I see many people's problem was solved using that method but mine wasn't. I hope I wasn't doing something wrong there... is the .bak files supposed to be recent in date (24th Feb 2012 on mine)? and those without extension to be pretty old (year 2010 on mine)?
also, I tried using GParted Live. not really sure how to use it, but when it started up, it shows an unallocated space of 298 GB (which is pretty much my whole hard disk's space, I believe), and nothing else. it's as if there isn't any drive that's allocated at all.
I'm now hoping I can do a system restore to before I installed Partition Magic, but I need to resolve the "Enable System Protection on this drive" issue first. any solutions??
I've had problems in the past with GParted not seeing Windows partitions that were visible with other software.
Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to boot computer directly to manage partition..
That will show you the active partition, and let you reset it if necessary.
If it doesn't find your Windows partition either, then Mak's assessment that your HDD is screwed and you need to factory reset looks pretty much on the money.
to find and "undelete" partitions.
If that doesn't help, then it's time to factory reset the PC.
once again, thank you for your answers. I can imagine how hard it is to try to help us when you can't physically see the thing.
I tried the TestDisk; it seems to have recovered my lost drives, and the "BOOTMGR is missing" message no longer shows up. However, after the "Starting Windows" screen, it auto-restarts before it could reach the desktop. it keeps repeating, so right now I still can't boot up properly.
Failure while setup is in progress.
any idea what's causing this? in the meantime, I'll still be trying to recover. thanks again for the support!
Tap F8 repeatedly after the BIOS splash screen to access the extended boot menu, and then select the "no automatic restart" option.
The BSOD should then wait with the stop code visible instead of looping continuously.
Keep trying. If you are back in contact with the boot manager, it has an extended boot menu, but reaching it is a matter of interrupting the program at precisely the correct moment. Keep tapping.
The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0xc0000001 0x00100848).
Yet more evidence that your HDD is fatally compromised.
You're in the situation that I had last year with Vista, when it failed on a 100% good HDD when it wasn't even booted. I went down the chkdsk -Testdisk- repair route and identified various corrupt modules that prevented the kernel from loading (as yours won't).
I did it, over a period of weeks, (Vista is unimportant to me, so it was just an academic exercise in attempted rescue in spare moments between using W7) but every time I fixed one problem, it led inevitably to a new failure further down the long long chain of events which are ultimately supposed to result in a usable desktop.
Time to cut your losses, rescue your user files from the partition Testdisk restored for you, and start the factory reset.
I ended up reinstalling Windows 7 after I managed to recover the disk using TestDisk. Had to reinstall my programs, so it was kinda like a reformat.
it's up and running now. thank you so much for your support!
Sorry I wasn't much help, but sometimes things are just too messed up for anything short of a complete reinstall.
please don't say that, you have been very helpful, and I am truly thankful for that.
Hey everyone, not trying to zombify the thread (or am I?) I've ran in to this problem recently, as well have many others from other forums though no one has posted up a proper fix for it - so I figured that I would, in hopes that it'll help others in the future.
Partition magic v8.0.5 (?) 'found errors' on a HDD (which was from my laptop Win 7 32-bit) that I put into my desktop (Win 7 64-bit), which I allowed partition magic to 'fix' the errors. I was testing this software, and had allowed for Windows 7 to report itself as XP SP3 for 'compatibility' - it was my monkeying that caused this.
Both computers would no longer boot up properly.
The Win 7 64-bit desktop had an error in regards to the boot configuration.
The Win 7 32-bit lappy would fail all boots stating that 'bootmgr' cannot be found.
Partition magic, as well as some other older partition utilities, feel that perfectly working Windows 7 / Vista partitions have various errors, when in-fact these dated softwares are basing this finding on older architecture. It's more maledictive than benedictive to try to use these older, though well designed [for their generation] utilities. But regardless, myself and others will time-to-time get stupid and do something that we shouldn't.
Win 7 64-bit was quite simple, it only required the default 'repair start-up' functionality which replaced the boot manger.
Win 7 32-bit, on the other hand, was a bit more painful. :/ Various partition utilities would either report that it had no partition, or that there was a corrupted partition; either way, I could never mount the volume to attempt to run Chkdsk, bootrec nor start-up repair.
I tested out Partition Wizard, my first time hearing of this software and I cannot say enough praise for it. Where Ghost, Partition Magic, Easeus, Win 7 repair and install, and diskpart failed in their ability to grant me any access to to either the partition or volume, Partition Magic [bootable .iso, which has its own Linux kernel] allowed me to move forward.
I was able to run a Partition Recovery Wizard, which scanned the 'unallocated partition' of the disc and it found multiple partition records to recover. I selected one, and it prompted me twice to tell me that recovering the partition would delete all of the data. Data loss was no concern for me, as this was more to solve this problem which many others have had. I then also resized the partition - which forces the partition data to be re-written with fresh data. I did that just-in-case a bad sector was hanging there, or somehow the data had gotten corrupted there.
I applied the changes [4 operations to do], and with in 10 seconds it was done. I tossed a name on the volume, set it to active and rebooted the machine.
Windows 7 still didn't boot up properly, and complained about the bootmgr missing.
I ran the start-up recovery CD and it came back with a response that 'windows has found errors on the drive, and has attempted a fix.. rebooting'. Good news, as NOTHING had seen neither the partition nor volume before. Progress.
I rebooted the machine again, windows attempted to start then went straight to a BSOD. Great, more progress!
I went into the startup recovery tool for the third time and told it to automatically fix startup errors. It found one, and the resulting error was BCD. It fixed it, rebooted and then windows mostly loaded before it bombed out - again. This is good though, as each step is getting it closer and closer.
The fourth time in start-up recovery would prove to be the last. I dropped to the command prompt and had a proper C: mounted to the proper boot volume - something that I had not had up until the last step. I ran Chkdsk /r and it found and recovered a LOT of orphaned files, corrected errors in 'index $I30' and deleted a lot of index entries.
Whatever partition magic 'fixed' had nearly fubar'd everything. If I hadn't had done this process, then the volume would have not been accessible and data recovery wouldn't have been feasible. So deleting all of the partitions with fdisk and then placing a fresh install or image of Windows 7 would have otherwise been the only way to 'fix' it; not good enough for me.
I realize that this thread is old, as are all of the other easily found ones on the Interwebs which bring up this issue. I do hope that others can find this useful and are able to follow my progress and also be able to recover their Windows 7 back to working order.
P.s., if you need to download a StartUp Repair image, make sure you get it for either 32-bit or 64-bit - which ever your O/S is. The command prompt utilities will mostly work back-and-forth; however, other components which are necessary for booting are specific to their respective kernel.
After using successfully EASYBCD on my laptop in order to create a dual boot, I decided to return to the original situation by using the function "Restore" offered within EASYBCD.
Big mistake ! After that, I was unable to boot my Windows 7 again.
I've been heavily surfing on the net hoping to find some useful tutorials that could be helpful.
I found Recovering the Windows Bootloader from the DVD - EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki.
I tried all of the 3 options exposed on this page. Options 1 and 2 didn't help at all.
I then tried option 3 (Nuclear Holocaust), but when I entered <bcdedit.exe /import c:\boot\bcd.temp>, I've got the message "The store import operation has failed. The system cannot find the path specified", which is extremely frustrating.
I am sure that the solution is at hand. But I don't know how to reach it.
In the mean time, I'm using my laptop with Linux based on a USB pen drive. So, I can access all my data. That's not the issue.
The point is that some important software only works with Windows. So, I really need to boot Windows 7 again.
Are you referring to the backup/restore of the BCD contents ?
That won't help you remove a dual boot, just refresh the BCD if you've managed to bork it (and had the presence of mind to back it up before you started playing).
Stage one of the "repair from DVD", is normally all you need (3 times), but it may have problems if you have multiple HDDs (disconnect the others temporarily while you repair) or if you've somehow managed to reset the "active" flag to the wrong place on the W7 HDD.
Windows uses the expressions quite differently"boot" = "this is the system you're running"

Battlefield 3 Laptop Performance Review: Road Warrior?

Introduction, Campaign Testing
Can Your Laptop Handle BF3?
Multi-player Performance, Conclusion
As you might have noticed, we're a bit excited about Battlefield 3 here at PC Perspective. It promised to pay attention to what PC gamers want, and shockingly, it has come through. Dedicated servers and huge multi-player matches are supported, and the browser based interface is excellent.
If we're honest, a lot of our hearts have been stirred simply by the way the game looks. There aren't many titles that really let a modern mid-range graphics card stretch its legs, even at 1080p resolution. Battlefield 3, however, can be demanding – and it looks beautiful. Even with the presets at medium, it's one of the most attractive games ever.
But what does this mean for laptops? Has the resident laptop reviewer at PC Perspective, I know that gaming remains a challenge. The advancements over the last few years have been spectacular, but even so, most of the laptops we test can't run Just Cause 2 at a playable framerate even with all detail set to low and a resolution of just 1366×768.
To find out if mobile gamers were given consideration by the developers of Battlefield 3, I installed the game on three different laptops. The results only go to show how far mobile gaming has come, and has far it has to go.
Dell Inspiron 14z: No Such Luck
First up for testing was the Dell Inspiron 14z, a recently reviewed system. You can read the full details in your review, but the basics are this. It's a somewhat slim system with a 14.1" display and Intel Core i5 processor. Graphical power is provided by the Intel HD 3000 IGP.
I installed Battlefield 3, loaded it, and…nothing. Literally nothing. No flicker, no error message, no stubbornly minimized window. Battlefield 3 simply refused to launch. Since I'd previously played the game on my desktop, I wondered if the settings had carried over and perhaps tripped up the Dell. I changed then, but still…nothing.
To Google I went, and soon found user complaints and/or warnings that the Intel HD 3000 IGP was not supported. My test had come to a premature end.
Some people responding to the users complaining about this were a bit mean about it (of course) stating that no one should be able to expect games on Intel HD graphics. That's just a load of hooey. As has been shown time and time again in our test, Intel HD graphics is capable of reasonably competent performance. It's generally on par with entry-level discrete mobile graphics from a generation ago.
Alienware m17x: Single Player Performance
With the Dell Inspiron 14z out of commission, it was time to bring out the big guns – Alienware's m17x. Equipped with Core i7-2630QM processor, Radeon HD6990M graphics and a whopping 16GB of RAM, it's no slouch. And, more importantly, it will start the game.
To begin, let's do an analysis of performance at each of the presets available in the game; low, medium, high, and ultra.
As you can see, the performance gradient here is easy to understand. With each increase in quality, there's a decrease in framerate. In addition, the decrease is fairly linear. Going from low to medium loses you 9 frames per second (average), while going from medium to high throws out another ten frames per second. The biggest hit comes from ultra, which is down a full fifteen frames per second compared to high.
Remember, this is a high-end laptop with a quad-core processor and outstanding graphics, yet even this m17x does not provide playable framerates at Ultra in the single-player campaign at 1080p resolution (shew! that's a lot of qualifiers). High is perfectly tolerable, although there are rare moments where it feels a little hesitant. Gamers who are twitch-obsessed will probably want to play on medium.
Of course, any player's decision about the settings they'd like to use is going to be somewhat dependent on the visual payoff. Does ultra really look much better than high, for example? To find out, I took a couple screenshots at each preset.
In screenshots, the difference between medium/high and high/ultra can be difficult to notice, although it is there. Low, on the other hand, is very obviously worse than all of the others thanks to a lack of anti-aliasing and jagged shadows.
I found image quality differences to be more noticeable in real-world gameplay. A lot of the improvement comes from lighting effects, which are excellent on high and sometimes jaw-dropping on ultra. One room early in the game contains a beam of light that comes in through high windows. On low, it's kind of neat. On ultra, it's absolutely beautiful.

Eh…I don't know if I'd say that. In fact, it's rather remarkable what even Intel HD 3000 graphics can do these days – you may not be able to play on very high settings, but you can at least play a lot of games.
Battlefield 3 is just in another league, even when compared to games like Just Cause 2. I think only Metro 2033 and maybe Skyrim are in the same league, so it's no surprise that even high-end solutions struggle.

BF3 plays just fine on my 2
BF3 plays just fine on my 2 year old Asus G72GX with a P8700 and GTX 260M and 6GB Ram. I just ratchet down the tinsel a bit and everything's great. It does heat up the 260M at times but other than that no issues.
In short Integrated graphics are crap for games that have any expectation of a 60FPS norm at over 1280×1024 with high textures.
Discrete cards do work better but are about 75% the performance of their desktop bretheren

Desktop cards would be
Desktop cards would be nowhere near as powerful if they had to fit into a 100W thermal envelope each.
For a reference the current SB integrated gfx is about as quick as the GDDR2 8600M GT in my nearly 5 year old Vostro 1500 which was a midrange GPU at the time and played some games at the 1920×1200 native res of the screen.

Hi as many others I'm having
Hi as many others I'm having problems with the game freezing after playing a couple of minutes. The graphics just freezes but the sound seems to just quit down to the games own back ground sounds.
As suggested in many threads I've tried updating Origin, Punkbuster, onboard Tealtek sound driver, disabling the onboard sound, put all graphic settings to the lowest possible, rued the game as an administrator, did a clean boot with startup process disabled and still the same problem every time. Also checked for GPU overheating using speedfan but it never gets above 75 degress celcius when playing for those precious couple of minutes, so that shouldn't be a problem either.
I'm running it on my laptop and my system specs are:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M (Driver Version: 8.17.12.6601)
EA custumor support suggested updating the GFX driver which I fearred they would suggest, as it's a mobile GFX and this prevents me from using NVIDIA's own driver. I've tried but with no luck. As you might know you should use the manufacturers own driver and unfortunately the manufacturer's (Compal) newest version is the current one (266.01) 🙁 I've tried contacting Compal but to be honest I don't think that they will release an updated driver version anytime soon just beause I wan't to play bf3 🙂
So I turn to you guys. Could it really just be a matter of an outdated driver causing this?? Can't a manually set some parameters somewhere that might solve the problem?? I appreciate your help and time.

I read one article on "the Dawn" and wanted to share it with you to get opinion of you people and weather you people agree or not with the information provided in this article? Here is the extract:Balauchistan decided to remain part of Pakistan in a referendum held under the auspices of the Independence of India Act of 1947.
The history of Baluchistan is fascinating. Mehergarh is the oldest agricultural site in the Subcontinent. The artifacts found there go back 7000 years. The people of Mehargarh have been living peacfully with the Indus Valley Civilization for tousands of years. During the British colonial rule no such province existed. It is a merger of many independent states. At the end of the colonial era the Provinces of West India decided to band together and form Pakistan.
In 1947-1948 there were only two choices before the Raja of Kashmir the leaders of FATA, NWFP, the Khan of Kalat and the Baluch leaders.
Contrary to some of the revisionists who are rewriting history, Balauchistan's 6 million people were not forcibly incorporated into Pakistan. The Baluchis have been living with the Indus Valley people for thousands of years.
Balauchistan decided to join Pakistan in a referendum held under the auspices of the Independence of India Act of 1947. 1. During the period of the British Raj, there were four Princely States in Balochistan: Makran, Kharan, Las Bela and Kalat, the largest and most powerful.
The British "On to the Oxus policy" was short lived. In 1876 Sir Robert Sandeman concluded a treaty with the Khan of Kalat and brought his territories–including Kharan, Makran, and Las Bela–under British suzerainty.3. After the Second Afghan War of 1878-80, the Treaty of Gandamak concluded in May 1879, the Afghan Mmir ceded his districts of Pishin, Sibi, Harnai, and Thal Chotiali to the British.
1) It is ironic that jounalists that were are citizen of colonial powers that still occupy countries in the Middle East, Caribbean and West Asia are discussing colonialism in one of its former colonies. Many of these are spreading lies and disinformation about Baulauchistan and Pakistan.
2) Some think that the history of the Subcontinent began when Lord Clive invaded Bengal. Actually the history of Baluchistan and the history of Pakistan begins 150,000 years ago in the Suan vallay where the first Pakistanis walked and swam in the Suan river.
3) Mehergarh is the oldest agricultural site in the Subcontinent. It is 7000 years old. The poeple of Mehergarh traded with the Kashmiris, Punjabis, Sindhis, and Pathans for thousands of years. Contrary to some of the revisionists who are rewriting history, Balauchistan's 6 million people were not forcibly incorporated into Pakistan. The Baluchis have been living with the Indus Valley people for thousands of years.
4) The Indus Valley Civilization existed on the banks of the Indus in more or less Pakistan of today. This was 3500 BC or thereabouts.
5) Balauchistan and Pakistan were part of many empires in a seesaw between Kushan, Abdali, Greeks, Persians, Timur, Mughals, and the British.
7) Balauchistan and Pakistan were part of the British Empire. There are British military cantonments in Quetta, Zhob, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Peshawar, Karachi, Sialkot and other places. During the period of the British Raj, there were four Princely states in Balochistan: Makran, Kharan, Las Bela and Kalat. In 1876 Sir Robert Sandeman concluded a treaty with the Khan of Kalat and brought his territories – including Kharan, Makran, and Las Bela – under British suzerainty. After the Second Afghan War of 1878-80, the Treaty of Gandamak concluded in May 1879, the Afghan Emir ceded the districts of Quetta Pishin,Sibi, Harnai, and Thal Chotiali to the British. In 1883 the British leased the Bolan Pass, southeast of Quetta, from the Khan of Kalat on a permanent basis. In 1887 some areas of Balochistan were declared British territory. In 1893, Sir Mortimer Durand negotiated an agreement with Amir Abdur Rahman Khan of Afghanistan to fix the Durand Line running from Chitral to Balochistan to as the boundary between the Afghans and the British.
12) The Government of India Act, 1935, treated Kalat as an independent State and provides representation for it in the Federal Legislature. Kalat was not all of Baluchistan, it is part of Balauchistan.
13) In 1947, Kalat was ruled by Mir Ahmed Yar Khan. Indeed, the British had given many Princely States the choice of either India, or Pakistan during the immediate pre-partition period (though they were worried of having too many independent nations). The states in Balauchistan were: Makran, Kharan, Las Bela and Kalat
14) The Indian Independence Act, 1947 allowed the independent states to join either India or Pakistan. According to Indian Independence Act 1947 – Section II
15) The people of Balauchistan, overwhelmingly voted to join Pakistan in a referendum that was held on June 30, 1947, to ascertain their wishes on this issue.
18) The Khan of Kalat acceded to Pakistan on March 27, 1948. Like Kalat, Hydrabad and Kashmir, hundreds of other states also had the choice of either joining India or Pakistan.
The present campaign to create issues in Pakistan is the same conspiracy that was tried by the USSR to impede the defeat of the USSR forces in Afghanistan.
Pakistan gained independence from the British legally and the boundaries were recognized by Brittan, and all the other members of the United Nations.
17) Balauchistan joined Pakistan as a result of the free will of the Muslims. For detail reading http://thedawn.com.pk/2009/07/12/baluchistan-how-it-joined-pakistan/

this writer has thoroughly read the social studies text books from paki government.... u can read the autobiography of last khan of Kalat Ahmed Yar khan..plus all these

and many many books you can find about the history of balochistan.. all of them, except mohasharti ullom by paki govt, will be saying that it was a forced accession against the will of the ppl..
P.S. have a look on the instrument of accession which is a proof of betrayal from Jinnah

Tho rast ghosha. Tonk aish hain ka khan state chain hain? "The Dawn" says Kalat state is not present day Baluchistan as it says some parts were annexed by British empire. AND WHAT does term "independed Baluchistan" means? It means Kalat state in dependency be restored, that is right but it does not include DG KHAN, part of DERA ISMAIL KHAN AND Kashmore( part of united Baluchistan). How can we claim that these areas are ours, since they were not part of kalat state and consequently were not annexed by Pakistan? SALAM TO ALL BALUCH AND BALUCHISTAN FROM NASIRABAD, BALUCHISTAN.

Dear if u read the history.. Kalat state didnt even include lasbila and Kharan at the time of partition but once it was stretched till bandar abbas..later on britishers divided the area... Even before partition..ironically Jinnah was reperesenting Khan of Kalat case as an advocate for annexing lasbila, kharan and other region as part of Independent Kalat State.. then later he turned his back towards balochs who weighed him in gold...wht a ehsan faramosh he was...


It's December. We've decked the halls. We've opened the first drawer on our home-made advent calendar. And we've already celebrated Christmas.
The reason for my lack of posts and social (over)sharing these past few days is because I have been in the depths of the North Yorkshire Moors in a lovely barn with some lovely people.
Every year, we get together with our besties and we celebrate Mock Christmas. It's just like real Christmas, in that we have a tree, we don our festive PJ's, we give each other presents and we stuff ourselves silly on Christmas dinner followed by chocolates and port and cheese in the evening. Oh, and there's plenty of wine and Baileys hot chocolates flowing too. The only thing is, it happens a few weeks before the 25th, before family commitments take us all in different directions.
It's pretty much perfect and that's mainly because we're all together, under one roof.
It's a tradition our group of friends has held since we finished university in 2005 and over the past couple of years, each Mock Christmas has welcomed a new member. In 2012, it was my friend's other half who joined the crew all new and I also had bump back then too, then last year it was Ethan. This year, it was Watson our dog.
We booked a barn / cottage for the weekend to house our growing group and it was the perfect place to spend a long weekend with some fantastic people.
So here are a few snaps from the Mock Christmas 2014 album. It really feels like Christmas now.
I love Ethan's blue jumper = and that tree is amazing.


Year after year, Lexus continues to innovate and excite car buyers worldwide. From its newest driver-assistive systems to superior engineering, Lexus vehicles deliver time and time again. Thanks to the long-lasting durability of their vehicles, Lexus has captured the highest ranking in vehicle dependability among all nameplates for a sixth consecutive year in the 2017 J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS). The study measures the number of owner-reported issues of 2014 model year vehicles in their third year of ownership.
Additionally, Lexus received three segment awards. The Lexus ES ranked the highest in the Compact Premium Car segment and the Lexus GS was top of the pack in the Midsize Premium Car segment. Plus, the Lexus RX was the top Midsize Premium SUV. Each vehicle was ranked in regard to average number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) and the Lexus ES, GS and RX had scores of 91, 94 and 105, respectively. With these impressive benchmarks, Lexus has redefined the luxury segment in terms of sustainability and value. Beyond simply delivering a quality in-car experience, Lexus engineers have developed vehicles that buyers can depend on. Whether it's innovative safety technologies or reliable design that piques your interest, know that every vehicle is being crafted as perfectly as possible. Plus, you can buy with confidence knowing that Lexus has earned distinguished awards for its ingenuity and dependability.
For those who are interested in exploring the latest iterations of the nationally renowned Lexus ES, GS or RX, be sure to make the drive to our Lexus dealership in Margate, FL. From our incredibly expansive new Lexus inventory to our collection of L/Certified Lexus Pre-Owned vehicles, we surely have the car you're looking for. Elevate your daily ride today and schedule a test-drive of a new Lexus GS, RX or ES to see excellence in motion at JM Lexus.
The Men's College Basketball Tournament is about to begin again. Each year, sports fans flock to Yahoo Sports to create their brackets and fuel their enthusiasm for the big b-ball tourney. As a presenting sponsor of the Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick'em this year, luxury automaker Lexus is getting into the spirit of the season. The company will run special display, video and native advertising, a new game featuring the stunning Lexus GS F and a unique opportunity to win an amazing prize.
At this point, no one should question the impeccable engineering of the luxury vehicles built by Lexus. They've been delighting drivers for well over a decade, and they've been outshining other models in industry analyses left and right. So it should come as little surprise that Lexus came out on top of J.D. Power's latest study — the brand won the last four, after all.
A couple blog posts ago, we expressed our excitement about the upcoming debut of an all-new Lexus F model at the Detroit Auto Show, and as it turns out, the unveiling did not disappoint. The 2016 Lexus GS F performance sedan was revealed last week in the Motor City, sporting the same 467-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 engine found in the recently launched Lexus RC F coupe.


Former NHL player Dave "Tiger" Williams is charged with sexual assault and assault after an incident on board a Canadian military plane. Abigail Bimman has the details.
Dave "Tiger" Williams, the former Toronto Maple Leafs professional hockey player, has been charged with sexual assault and assault after an incident on a military flight during a trip to visit Canadian troops in Latvia.
The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service charged Williams with sexual assault and assault under the Criminal Code on Wednesday after Williams allegedly assaulted a steward on board the Airbus Polaris jet – which can seat around 200 people – in December 2017.
The steward reported the alleged incident during the flight and military police launched an investigation shortly after.

Global News has also been told several other stewards on board the aircraft refused to board the plane for the return flight if Williams was on board.
Officials from the Department of National Defence would not confirm whether Williams was flown back to Canada on a separate commercial aircraft or the report of other stewards refusing to board the plane.
While military police laid the charges, Williams will be processed through the civilian court system in Ottawa.
According to military officials, charges were laid by military police before a judge on Wednesday without Williams being present.
He was made aware of those charges and was ordered to report for arrest to the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service on Friday, which he did.
He was then released with conditions applied by the civilian court that prevent him from contacting the alleged victim or consuming alcohol while he is released.
Williams, 64, was taking part in a visit to Canadian troops deployed to Latvia as part of Operation Reassurance, a NATO mission meant to deter Russian aggression in Eastern and Central Europe following its annexation of Crimea.
It appears he was allowed to play in a game with others during the trip.
The military regularly brings individuals such as Canadian actors, athletes or comedians to take part in holiday morale tours.
First drafted in 1974 by the NHL out of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Williams played seven seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs before going on to join the Vancouver Canucks, the Detroit Red Wings, the Los Angeles Kings and the Hartford Whalers.
He retired in 1988 but has remained a prominent ambassador for the Maple Leafs in the decades since.
Brendan Shanahan, president and alternate governor of the Toronto Maple Leafs, told Global News in a statement the organization applauded the alleged victim for reporting but said there was not enough information available to comment further.
"We were just made aware of the charges against Mr. Williams, a member of our alumni association," said Shanahan.
A date for Williams to appear in court again has not been set.

The dictionary defines safety as "the condition of being safe from undergoing or causing hurt, injury, or loss".
According to OSHA approximately 12 workers are killed on the job every day in the US and they are all preventable. Nobody goes to work with the intent to get injured and certainly not die but in the rush "to get the job done" a procedure is skipped, we decide not to lock out, put the harness on, do the inspection, because we need to "save time and get it done". The only real way to save time and really get the job done is to do it right the first time and that starts with doing it safely.
Each one of the companies at CP Global is unique in what we do but what we do share is the fact that we are heavy industry and share many of the same safety risks and concerns. Each operation is very fast moving and it only takes a second of distraction for a serious incident to take place. Personally my number one goal each and every day has been to ensure that we provide a safe work environment and that every single person goes home safely to their families each night.
Why is safety so important to us at CP Global? Because you are important to us. So as we go about our day to day business remember the 10 commandments of safety and remember that safety is everybody's responsibility.
1. Always be responsible for the safety of yourself and others.
2. Always remember all accidents are preventable.
3. Always follow company rules, regulations and procedures.
4. Always assess the risks, Stop and think.
5. Always be proactive about safety.
6. Always deter from situations you're not trained to handle.
7. Always manage the lift.
9. Always practice good housekeeping.
10. Always take the safest path, never take shortcuts.

I have a big problem with my macbook pro so here I am.
My laptop is a macbook pro 13" from 2010, model 7.1 with processor core 2 duo 2,4GHz. Under El Capitan.
My laptop started to turn off overtime I unplug the charger. My battery is at 31% and the light on the charger is green instead of orange. If the laptop is off and the charger is not plugged in, it does not turn on. I tried the reset the SMC as recommended but the problem is still there. My app Battery Monitor tells me that my battery is not dead, as I expected it (I changed it only 2 years ago).
Do you know what the problem can be and how can I fix it please ?
Some girl in need on your help.
This failing, you need to examine the logic board around the heat sink looking to see if there is an oily residue. If present it indicates that the heat sink has leaked and needs to be replaced along with the thermal paste.
Great, thank you. That battery is at midlife. It's was made in 2010 so you did get old stock when you replaced it. It has 90% of the original capacity. It's just not charged up and is currently not charging.
With you getting a green light on the adapter and it not turning to orange, I would first reseat the battery to logic board connection. I'd like to then test the mag-safe to see if it is putting out power. If you have access to another Mac hook it up to that machine to test (run Coconut Battery there too to make sure. Inspect the magsafe port on your machine to make sure there is nothing possibly shorting it out (I've seen a broken staple do that. How black are the connectors? Is there anything in the machines history, like impact or liquid damage?
I went to see that with my father. He was not sure how to proceed as I do not have any other macbook like mine around me. I will try to diagnose it by my shop in order to know what the issue is. Hopefully it is something I can fix myself. I will tell you what the professionals tell me !
Chloé They don't come anymore professional than I am and no one has more years of Apple experience (that's still alive) save Steve Wozniak.
Then lucky me ! The thing is I don't know how to proceed if I cannot have any other macbook in order to test my charger etc..
Indeed my battery was 31% yesterday and today it is at 29%, even if I have not used my laptop between these moments. But it still charges my cellphone if I plug it.
I would also assume it is the battery that is faulty. If you take out the battery all together and just use the charger, does it work okay and stay powered on? If it does then I would say the battery is definitely the culprit. I had a battery in an old acer laptop and even at 99% charge as soon as the charger was removed it would power off.
Also it doesn't really matter when the battery was changed, it is very dependent on cells used, how frequently it is charged and if it is charged fully. You can buy a replacement battery on ebay, might be cheaper than going to a repair store.
Hi, I am sorry for replying so late (I just noticed your comment). I will also try this, thank you ! And I will let you know the result.
Chloé 가/이 대단히 고마워 할 것입니다.

U.S. manufacturers are struggling with a major supply chain capacity crisis – one that is threatening not only the movement of goods, but our nation's economic productivity.
While the U.S. is producing and shipping more goods to meet the resurgence in consumer demand, this record freight volume—combined with increasing railroad bottlenecks, tight highway lane capacity and escalating truck driver shortages—has created a perfect storm. Companies are not only struggling with the price tag associated with getting goods to market; they are often hard-pressed to get them there at all.
Even though rail is often the first shipping choice for American manufacturers, the reality is that more than 70 percent of freight must, at some point, be shipped via truck, and that tonnage will only increase as demand grows. In fact, industry experts estimate that overall freight tonnage will increase nearly 25 percent over the next decade alone.
Our transportation network is in no shape to keep up with this growth. The U.S. population has nearly doubled since the Interstate highway system was built, and over the last 30 years, truck miles traveled have increased 20 times faster than road capacity—often with limited-to-no room for expansion.
Fortunately, Congress has the power this fall to give our Interstate productivity a critical, yet safe, boost.
Safer, more efficient trucks that can carry 91 thousand pounds as opposed to the current 80 thousand on our highways exist, and our major trading partners already use them successfully. In Canada and Europe, many trucks are already carrying over 100 thousand pounds safely on the road. These trucks, which are the same size as typical 18-wheelers but equipped with six axles rather than five, can safely ship more goods while braking faster, handling the same, polluting less and reducing pavement wear—all this according to the U.S. DOT's recently completed Comprehensive Truck Size and Weight Study.
Congress just needs to give states the power to put these better trucks to work. The Safe, Flexible and Efficient Trucking Act, known as the "Safe Trucking Act," now pending in the House, would answer the call by giving each state the option to allow more productive, yet safe, six-axle trucks to travel on Interstate highways.
The Safe Trucking Act would responsibly alleviate the capacity crisis and create a more efficient transportation network in which U.S. manufacturers can safely use fewer truckloads, fuel and emissions to meet demand. The legislation also enables the U.S. DOT to require additional safety equipment for these trucks, creating a world-class standard for truck shipment.
The U.S. DOT has already confirmed that the Safe Trucking Act configuration complies with existing bridge weight requirements and would not cause additional strain. Still, implementation of the Safe Trucking Act is completely voluntary. Each state would retain the ability to control when and where these trucks travel.
Yet given that more than 90 percent of states already allow heavier, five-axle rigs on state and local roads, the Safe Trucking Act also presents a critical opportunity for states to transition to safer, more capable six-axle trucks which can operate on Interstate highways—the safest place for truck shipments.
Five years ago, Congress granted Maine the ability to do what the Safe Trucking Act would do on a national scale: give higher weight vehicles access to the state's Interstate highways. Since then, fatalities on Maine's roads have reached their lowest levels in 70 years—a reduction which officials have attributed to this truck weight change.
It's time for U.S. truck productivity to match that of the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries that already utilize these trucks, and with the Safe Trucking Act, we can do so in a way that empowers and respects state autonomy while making our shared roads safer.
Our transportation network is facing big challenges, and the Safe Trucking Act represents an essential part of the solution.

It is very important that you completely paint all surfaces - primer and top coat(s) - prior to assembly!
Now it's time to screw the Subrails to the Balusters. Galvanized screws aren't necessary, as our method of assembly is going to leave these screws completely protected!
It will be much easier if you can work against a wall or other fixed stop. Your work area should be flat and level. The porch itself is often ideal.
Use the top section of the Sloped-top Bottom Rail as a protective holder for the notched Baluster bottom. With Balusters laying on the floor, position the complete set of Balusters approximately on their on-center marks, as previously marked on the Sloped-top Bottom Rails.
It may be necessary to use something as a support under the Balusters to keep them resting firmly on the Sloped-top Rail. A helper will come in handy in just a moment!
Now position the Subrail along the tops of your Balusters. Again, some sort of spacer under the Balusters is useful. This spacer should center the Balusters approximately on the width of the Subrail. A scrap of lumber and several pieces of cardboard will work nicely.
Check that all Balusters are approximately the same length. When firmly seated on the Sloped-top Rail, their tops should all be in line against the bottom of the Subrail.
Now, starting at one end, screw through the top of the Subrail into the top of the first Baluster. Be sure the Baluster is centered on both the width of the Subrail and on the on-center mark. Then go to the other end of the Subrail and screw the last Baluster into position. Next, screw one of the center Balusters into place to stabilize things.
Now you can proceed to position and screw each of the remaining Balusters into its place along the Subrail, always centering each on both the width of the Subrail and on the on-center mark.
To allow screwing them to the Balusters, you will drill holes all the way through the top pieces of the Sloped-top Bottom Rails.
Use an electric hand drill and drill bit sized for the screws you'll use. (You need flat-topped wood screws about 2-1/2" long, as they must go all the way through the thickness of the top piece of Bottom Rail and into the bottom of the Baluster).
Work from the top side of the top pieces, drilling down through the center at the point along the Rails that you had previously marked as the center of each Baluster. Try to keep these holes straight up and down.
Now, screw the top piece of the Sloped-top Rail into the first Baluster. Make sure it's centered both on the Sloped-top and on its on-center mark. Then go to the other end of the Rail and screw the last Baluster into place. Now do one of the center Balusters to stabilize things.
At this point you need to check that the Balustrade Section is square. Using a carpenter's framing square, check that these first three Balusters are square with (perpendicular to) the Bottom Rails and Subrail. If they are not square now, they won't be straight up and down when installed between the Porch Posts! Review the section on marking if there is a problem. Adjust as necessary.
Now proceed to screw the remaining Balusters into place, making sure their notches are firmly seated on the Sloped-top, and that they are centered on their on-center marks.
It's time to mount the bottom piece of the Sloped-top Bottom Rail to the top piece of the Sloped-top Bottom Rail.
Lay the apppropriate bottom piece alongside the corresponding top piece. Check to see that our predrilled holes in the bottom piece do not align with the screws in the Balusters. Mark any that do, and redrill to one side. If, because of trimming the Rails, you no longer have predrilled holes within a foot of each end, drill new holes approximately 6" from each end.
Check that the bottom piece fits into the channel of the top piece. Then, working from one end, screw from the bottom of the bottom piece up into the bottom of the top piece.
You won't fasten the Handrail just yet, and you'll leave the mounting hardware off also, so that neither become damaged before you're ready to install our Balustrades between the Porch Posts.
For the same reason, it's better to delay screwing the Kickspace Blocks onto the Bottom Rails until later. And finally, you'll wait to do our touch-up painting until the Balustrades are installed.
Therefore, you can now carefully store our assembled Balustrades until you're ready to install them. Since they should, of course, be completely painted before assembly, their storage is not quite so critical. It is, however, important that they be stored flat and level, to avoid possible stress or warping.

How to deal with unvaccinated family members at Christmas
Olivia Petter
(iStock/The Independent)
Tis the season, but, once again, things are looking a little different this year. The new coronavirus variant, omicron, is continuing to spread rapidly around the UK. And now, it has been revealed that more than a million people are likely to be isolating with Covid-19 on Christmas Day.
Meanwhile, on Friday 17 December, the UK reported its highest number of daily coronavirus infections since the pandemic began, estimated at 93,000. Hardly the most wonderful time of year.
There is some good news though, with recent research claiming that two doses of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine offered 70 per cent protection against hospitalisation with omicron and 33 per cent protection against infection.
Meanwhile, early tests suggest that the Pfizer booster jab can also offer protection against omicron variant.
The government website also states that getting fully vaccinated is the best way of protecting you and others against Covid-19.
Despite this, recent reports claim that many people in the UK remain unvaccinated, with as many as one third of Londoners not having received any doses of the vaccine against coronavirus.
In light of this, it's possible that when family members unite for Christmas - if none of them are self-isolating, that is - that some of them might well be unvaccinated.
This could be an anxiety inducing scenario for countless reasons, namely that mixing with unvaccinated people could mean you're 20 times more likely to catch coronavirus, according to one study.
But how do you broach the subject with your unvaccinated family members? And what if they're asking to spend the night at your home over Christmas? And is there any way of having these conversations without causing a big bust-up at the dining table?
"Spending time with family members over Christmas can be a stressful event at the best of times," notes Relate counsellor Holly Roberts. "But add in the fact that most of us spent Christmas apart from family last year and there are additional Covid considerations to be made, it sets the scene for a more pressurised environment than usual.
"This may prime us for heated discussions with family members around being unvaccinated. Being aware of this is a good place to start when the festivities begin."
Roberts points out that having any disagreement with a family member is difficult, but that the issue of vaccinations is a particularly tough one to broach.
"Think about how you might approach this subject in advance of Christmas," she suggests. "This will give you time to prepare your thoughts and feelings and help you free more able to manage emotionally if conflict arises."
It might also be worth considering how you usually approach conflict, and how it affects you. What triggers you, for example, to get angry? "If you can identify these in advance, you are more likely to be able to hold your cool during a tricky conversation, at the same time as expressing yourself authentically," says Roberts.
It's also worth recognising that jumping to conclusions might not be the best way to get through to someone when it comes to discussing vaccinations.
"Try to be curious and listen to what the other person is saying without judgement," says Roberts. "The hope is that if you model this way of being, they will be more open to you too."
When it comes to actually engaging in a disagreement, Roberts suggests trying to make sure you don't lead the other person to believe they are completely wrong as this will only lead to defensiveness and further arguing.
"Think about what points you want to express, as there are bound to be really important things you want to say on this matter," she advises. "Feel confident that your opinion counts, despite hearing information that will contradict this. You can then feel like you've expressed yourself in a completely genuine way."
You also need to recognise the importance of timing. For example, starting a heated discussion about vaccines while everyone is already three gin and tonics-deep probably isn't going to be productive.
"And if a conversation does start to turn sour, recognise that it's a good time to stop as nothing productive will come from any more talking, and it may only lead to a big argument," she adds.
Set boundaries, too, and don't be afraid to end the conversation if you feel like lines are being crossed.
"Putting a stop to an emotive argument is much better than trying to plough on with it because the effect it has on you may tarnish the rest of your time with your family over the festive period," Roberts says.
Health advice on navigating Christmas with unvaccinated family members.
Ask everyone to wear masks
"If you decide you have to invite unvaccinated relatives, have everyone wear masks," advises George Rutherford, professor of epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco.
"Masks can be worn safely by children over two," he adds.
In England and Wales, face coverings have been required by law in most indoor public places and on public transport, including taxis, since 10 December. But wearing them while gathering over Christmas with unvaccinated family members could be a good idea for extra protection.
The government website states that the best available scientific evidence is that, when used correctly, wearing a face covering may reduce the spread of coronavirus droplets, helping to protect everyone.
Ask guests to take a lateral flow test beforehand
This is becoming standard for social occasions, but Rutherford suggests it's particularly important to ask your unvaccinated guests to get tested before coming into your home this Christmas.
It's crucial because, as the government states, around one in three people with Covid-19 do not have any symptoms. This means they could be spreading the virus without knowing it.
"Testing regularly increases the chances of detecting Covid-19 when you are infectious but are not displaying symptoms, helping to make sure you do not spread Covid-19 by staying at home and self-isolating immediately," it adds.
Try to limit the number of households
"If at all possible, have smaller events that don't bring as many households together," advises Rutherford.
Currently, there are no restrictions in England and Wales regarding how many households can mix over the festive period.
However, choosing to limit the number of people in attendance at your family gathering this Christmas could be particularly beneficial when it comes to reducing the spread of Covid-19, especially if unvaccinated people are in attendance.
As the government website explains: "When someone with Covid-19 breathes, speaks, coughs or sneezes, they release particles containing the virus that causes Covid-19. These particles can be breathed in by another person."
If possible, host events outdoors (or with plenty of ventilation)
This will be a tricky one for anyone living in the UK, but Rutherford advises hosting events outdoors if possible to avoid transmission.
"Meeting outdoors vastly reduces the risk of airborne transmission, but this may not always be possible," states the government website.
"If you're indoors, you should let fresh air in to reduce the risk of catching or spreading Covid-19."

From the rich heritage of the group, she left her fans in the form of songs, the vast majority was written by the star author Duo of world music history Lennon/McCartney. At least, that's exactly what these tracks are the Beatles still subscribe in the brochures, vinyls and CDs. However, fans of the group it is well known that actually these two leaders is not so much written together, and that, for the most part, only in the early stage of creativity.
On the occasion of the birthday of Sir Paul, we decided to recall the most important songs of the main melodist of the group, and again to re-listen to those hits, the authorship of which belongs to McCartney.
In acknowledgement of the Ground, "All Our Caring" ("All my love") may be the first tune, what that he authored prior to the audio. Though this easy wording concerning the approaching lengthy divorce isn't much level and split definitions, although not actually attempting to produce works of graceful artwork and rhyming with hug you overlook you, McCartney launches ultimately among the strike tunes in the recording Using The Beatles.
John Lennon stated about that song. It had been constructed was throughout The Beatles' London visit, there clearly was created her camera. Hence, the tune "Cannot Acquire Me Love" (I can't be bought by " Adore") was the tune that is only real the saving which occurred beyond England, the Beatles. Nevertheless, in acknowledgement McCartney, efforts to connect it when it comes to information of the tune, the writer herself comfortably to different types of understandings of its meaning it hurt significantly.
The absolute most legendary tune for McCartney, who turned one of the group's images. If edgy naturally John Lennon gravitated towards the avant garde and also the toothy stone' d' roll McCartney in the beginning of inventiveness that is combined popularity key melodist of the team. Many indicative of the was the tune "Recently" ("Recently"), is documented with Friend John, with no involvement of additional associates. She authored was in 1963, and also the operating edition of the title seemed like "Scrambled Eggs" ("scrambled Eggs"). More musical wording of the tune was created 2 yrs later.
This song, released on the album "Revolver" is one of the best songs McCartney in melodic terms. She even earned the highest praise from John Lennon, which was identified among all of the album's songs, including own compositions. Yes, and McCartney himself, without false modesty, had made a "Here, There and Everywhere" ("Here, there and everywhere"), among the most beloved of his compositions.
Another song praised Lennon. "Good work. Shows that he can himself entirely to writing songs," cynically remarked a colleague McCartney 13 years after the advent of writing to the light. The song "The Fool on the Hill (the Fool on the hill") has never performed in concert by the Beatles – at the time of its recording, the band had already ceased to give regular performances. However, since 1979, McCartney was often performed at concerts with his band Wings, formed immediately after breakup of The Beatles.
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" ("the Orchestra of club of lonely hearts Sergeant pepper") was originally conceived as the title song for the eponymous album, which became one of the most iconic in the history of world music. The composition opens the concept album of The Beatles, being, in essence, an Overture to her. It introduces the listener into the swing of things and talks about a "band Sergeant pepper" and its fictional leader Billy Sirte.
This composition, which has the effect of gaining the popularity of reggae, is one of the most popular songs of the Beatles. However, she was voted the worst song in online voting, the BBC, and John Lennon, not surprisingly, openly hated her, not giving the printed definition. The rest of the band also did not support the idea to release the song as a single, however it has subsequently become one of the most musicians around the world songs Beatles.
Known fact that this song is from "the White album" was originally called "Hey Jule" and was dedicated to Julian – son of John Lennon, which is very not easy divorce of father and mother Cynthia Lennon. The author later changed the name in the chorus, and the song acquired the name "Hey Jude" ("Hey, Jude"). Many years later the song even gave the name of the protagonist of the musical "Across the Universe", created by songs. And John Lennon was very fond of her and even mentioned that always felt like she is drawn to him and not to the son.
John Lennon a rather zealous attitude to "Oh! Darling" ("Oh! Honey"), believing that for him this song would be suitable for execution than the author. McCartney, according to colleagues, is not the best way to deal with it, but Lennon praised the song, noting that it is one of the most magnificent things McCartney. Paul himself thought his performance style is too clean for this song, so while recording vocals in a few days, came to the Studio again and re-trying to write his party, achieving the desired effect, though it took us a week to sing on stage.
The song "Let It Be" ("Let it be"), if having written to squeeze human tears, was one of the closing chords of the longstanding cooperation of Lennon, McCartney, Starr and Harrison. Single, on which she went out, was the last issued by the group before leaving McCartney. Later, this sad ballad was included in the eponymous album, but the light he saw after the collapse of the legendary fab four.

Die Beobachtermission der Vereinten Nationen in Prevlaka, (, kurz UNMOP) war eine Friedenssicherungsmission der Vereinten Nationen vom 15. Januar 1996 bis zum 15. Dezember 2002, die das Ziel hatte, die Entwaffnung der Halbinsel Prevlaka an der Adriatischen Küste des Westbalkan nach dem Zerfall Jugoslawiens zu überwachen.

Geschichte
Die Prevlaka mit ihrer strategischen Lage an der Bucht von Kotor, einem der besten Häfen an der Adria, ist seit Jahrhunderten ein Grenzgebiet, im Dreiländereck zwischen Bosnien, Kroatien und Montenegro, historisch Zeta, den Stadtstaaten Ragusa und Cattaro, und den Großmächten Venedig, Ungarn und Österreich, und dem Osmanischen Reich.

Vor dem Zerfall Jugoslawiens 1991 war sie Militärstützpunkt der Jugoslawischen Volksarmee. Aus diesem Grund war die Halbinsel zwischen dem neu entstandenen Staat Kroatien und "Restjugoslawien" (Serbien und Montenegro), dem Rechtsnachfolger des sozialistischen Jugoslawiens, stark umstritten.  Der kroatischen und der jugoslawischen Präsident, Franjo Tudjman und Dobrica Ćosić, kamen am 30. September 1992 in Genf zu einer Übereinkunft, die Gegend zu entmilitarisieren. Mit der UN-Resolution 779 wurde die Überwachung der UNPROFOR übertragen, die Friedensmission scheiterte aber, im Zuge des Bosnienkrieg 1992–95 war die Gegend bis hinauf auf die Bjelotina umkämpft.  März 1995 wurden die operativen Aufgaben der Operation des Vertrauens in Kroatien (UNCRO) übertragen.

Aus diesem Grunde wurde 1996 eine eigene UN-Mission geschaffen, die United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP) eingerichtet. Damit wurden Militärbeobachter und zivile Polizei-Überwacher auf der Halbinsel stationiert. Per 1. Februar 1996, nachdem das Mandat das erste Mal verlängert worden war (Resolution 1038), wurde die UNMOP aus der UNPROFOR eigenständig ausgegliedert, de facto aber Teil der UN-Mission in Bosnien-Herzegowina (UNMIBH).
Erst nach der Übereinkunft zur Normalisierung der Beziehungen vom 23. August 1996 gingen Kroatien und Serbien, die mehr in ihren Hauptgrenzgebiet Slawonien engagiert waren, sowie das Juni 2006 unabhängig gewordene Montenegro auch die Prevlak-Frage an, aber erst mit der 1998 eingerichteten UN-Übergangsverwaltung UNTAES für die Hauptkonfliktgebiete begannen direkte Verhandlungen. Diese wurden durch die NATO-Missionen gegen Serbien im Zusammenhang mit dem Kosovokrieg im März 1999 wieder unterbrochen. Auch das Oktober 1999 von damaligen UN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan mit der Resolution 1252 (1999) erarbeitete Paket vertrauensbildender Maßnahmen an die Akteure blieb ohne Erfolg.

Erst 2000, mit den neuen Regierungen in Kroatien und in Serbien und den neuen Präsidenten Ivo Josipović und Boris Tadić, kam der Prozess wieder in Gang. Dezember 2001 wurde eine gemeinsame diplomatische Kommission geschaffen, und nach mehreren Verhandlungsrunden wurde April 2002 eine baldige Lösung in Aussicht gestellt. Am 10. Dezember 2002 konnte dann eine kroatisch-serbische Übergangsverwaltung für die Halbinsel eingerichtet werden. Ein paar Tage später wurde die Mission für beendet erklärt.

Organisation
Es nahmen Argentinien, Bangladesch, Belgien, Brasilien, Tschechien, Dänemark, Ägypten, Finnland, Ghana, Indonesien, Irland, Jordanien, Kenia, Nepal, Neuseeland, Nigeria, Norwegen, Pakistan, Polen, die Russische Föderation, die Schweiz und die Ukraine an dieser Mission teil.

Sitz der Mission war die nahe kroatische Stadt Cavtat. Weitere Stützpunkt waren die Oštra-Halbinsel selbst, Herceg Novi in Montenegro und Gruda in Kroatien.

Kommandeure (Chief Military Observer) waren:
 Col. Göran Gunnarsson (Schweden)
 Januar 1996 – November 1996
 Col. Harold Mwakio Tangai (Kenia)
 November 1996 – Juli 1998
