Some Things To Consider Before Your Play Online Games
What Does A Computer Gaming System Need?
If you love playing computer games, chances are you've been thinking of a new computer so that the new game you've been eyeing doesn't run like a snail when you start to play it. Ever thought about building your own gaming computer?Besides saving a bundle of money, you'll learn a lot and end up with a high-performance machine suited to just your needs. The process involved in building your own custom gaming computer is quite straightforward. Let's take a look at what's involved and some points that you need to consider.Choose your individual components carefully so that they work together seamlessly, there are several installation guides and examples available on the Internet to give you an idea of what to consider.The basis for your new computer is the case and power supply. Make sure the case has enough room to fit your motherboard and other components, including any future requirements such as a Blu-Ray drive. The power supply should be powerful enough to supply all components, at least 500W is recommended...
Baseball a fun game starts the season with our President throwing out the first ball and saying 'Let's Play Ball', and the games begin. This is a known tradition that happens every spring at the start of a new season. Playing games is fun and many games have a tradition that we do before we start to play. Now that we are able to play games on the internet, many of these traditions are no longer applicable.The traditions now replaced by the gamer creating cool names and a cool picture that represents who they are. Everybody has their own traditions when it comes to playing games but since you are playing alone it is your tradition not shared by everyone. You perhaps only play when you have your lucky piece with you a tradition that you have created for yourself. The real game player normally has something special that they do before game play begins. Traditions in America are as common as playing games. The variety of games to play range from simple board games to high quality action games. The games now ...
Even though the video game consoles of today have taken over all the old systems the PC games of today are still some of the number one rated games on any system. The way the computer works is different then what kind of graphics that you will have in your Xbox or Playstation. You will have a motherboard with either single or double graphics card ability. If you have an SLI ready motherboard then that means that you have the best motherboard that money can buy and you also have the best graphics as well. You will be using two graphics cards over the power of one which will make your computer not only not lag but will make the image clearer then purified water.The big thing about computers and playing video games on them is you can keep upgraded your computer without having to buy a whole new system. You can however upgrade your other video game systems but then it becomes illegal to play your upgraded systems online like you like to play. That is because they sell the systems how they want them to be played i...

Young man killed as half a million protest Guinea government
Guinean opposition supporters march during an anti-government protest in Conakry. (AFP)
At least 500 000 people join Guinea opposition protest
Guinea leader Conde urged to get consensus
Guinea officials 'worried' over call for post-vote protests
Conakry - A young man was shot dead by police on Tuesday during a demonstration in Guinea that saw at least half a million people protest against alleged government corruption, officials said.
Several others were injured in the Conakry rally to denounce what they said was economic mismanagement by the government of President Alpha Conde, according to the same sources.
Opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo said 700 000 people had joined a 15 km procession from the suburbs to the 28 Septembre stadium in the west African nation's capital.
Security forces said the number was closer to 500 000.
More injured
The fatality, named as Thierno Hamidou Diallo, 21, was shot in the chest by a police officer "as he was sitting on the balcony of his apartment" in the suburb of Bambeto, his brother Mamadou Dian Diallo said.
"I heard the shot myself but I never imagined it could have been aimed at my brother," said Diallo, who lost another of his brothers during a political protest in 2013.
An AFP reporter saw the body at the local Mere et Enfant (Mother and Child) hospital before it was transferred to a morgue.
Security minister Abdoul Kabele Camara said that violence had broken out in the late afternoon, leading to a police intervention in which "gunshots caused one serious injury and one fatality".
The police captain suspected of firing the shots had been identified and questioned, the minister said.
Aside from the fatality, twelve others were injured and six taken for questioning, the government said.
A doctor, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a number of injured had been treated at the Dixinn polyclinic, one of whom was in a coma.
'Death to dictatorship'
Supporters of several opposition parties had gathered for the event, shouting "Alpha resign, Alpha that's enough, students unemployed, we want jobs", brandishing placards reading "death to dictatorship".
Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea leader Diallo hailed the huge turnout and said it proved the "rejection of dictatorship and poor governance of Mr Alpha Conde".
Diallo blamed Conde's government specifically for mishandling the massive Simandou iron ore project in the south of the country managed by British-Australian firm Rio Tinto, which he said meant Guineans could miss out on "decent jobs".
The government said in July the challenges of getting the project off the ground during a global iron ore glut were considerable but it would "do everything" to ensure it went on-stream.
Guinea's constitutional court in November 2015 formally confirmed Conde's re-election, dismissing opposition claims of vote-rigging and fraud.
It was only the second democratic presidential poll since Guinea gained independence from France in 1958.
In addition to focusing on the economy, rights campaigners have urged Conde to use his second term to intensify the fight against impunity, strengthen the judiciary and promote equal respect for the rights of all Guineans.
Despite the country being rich in minerals, most of the population in Guinea live in poverty and survive on less than one euro (about R15) per day, according to the UN.

so now it is relocated under its original name here at a new hosting, as well as at a hosting provided by a friend of mine several months after losing the name.
For a while I hosted the site locally using an account with the good folks at dyndns.org which ran in tandem with my friend's hosting and maintaining the two in syncgronism was a veritable pain. The dyndns addresses ceased when difficulties with my router's ports happened on replacing the elderly HP Vectra being used with an IBM Netvista or more recent vintage. This happened because of the Vectra "dying". You can see a page about my study and my computers here and here.
Here and here you can see the assistance rendered by the then youngest member of the household.
nobody else wanted to buy it. So it finally lapsed and my friend saw it was available again!
The hosting on the exagorazo.net site has not been kept up-to-date because of the difficulties in maintaining the two in synchronism without a full-time webmaster, so my thanks to my friend Tim for his generous help for a couple of years. Onya mate (Australian slang meanining "Good On Ya".
Because I am a Christian, it is a repository of Christian thought... .
Because I realise just how important my faith is to me, I would very much like to share it with you.
I make absolutely no apology for that. It's a question of take it, or leave it.
NO attempt will be made to convert you to any specific flavour of Christianity, because there should only be one - that which conforms totally to what is referred to as "Biblical truth" - with nothing added that cannot be substantiated by the Bible, and nothing removed from the teachings which are included in those 66 books of the New and Old Testaments.
This is because God is unchanging - that is part of His nature. What has changed a number of times, as one reads from the Creation through to the end of the apostolic era, is mankind's level of belief - or should I more accurately say unbelief - and the way in which God has varied his ultimate plan for us humans to allow for the degree of unbelief at any one time, hoping that we will "Get our act together" which of necessity is an ongoing situation, with rise and fall according to our stupidity, not His changing His mind.
The site is in part an archive of teaching articles, mostly by other people, on biblical principles. Some of that is in webpage format (html) like this page. Others are in portable document file (pdf) format, and some is in music - either in the form of recordings or of sheet music - and because of copyright laws, permission has either been obtained, or a small portion is reproduced under the "fair dealing" provisions of copyright law. Some is reproduced from study notes which I received when attending bible classes, and in some cases I have taught from those notes in various circumstances.
From time to time - usually by a friend's request, or by arrangement, I permit access to my own computers by other internet users. This uses the special internet address of http://eagles-lair.dyndns.org which is an excellent service provided by a company specialising in "Dynamic Domain Name Services". You may take a link here to check out the latest updates to this system.
Why is the name of the site "eagles-lair.org" ?
It is a .org because it is a not-for-profit website; .com is used for a commercial organisation, .net is for a network. Some countries, like the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Scandinavia use .co instead of .com, and in some cases an address is registered with a national registration authority and carries a suffix like .au (Australia), .nz (New Zealand) or .za (Republic of South Africa).
Because you may think that Christians have unbalanced perspectives, you may be surprised to find (here) in-depth stuff about computers (including the Micro$oft versus the rest of the world saga), music, the military, railways, and all sorts of other things. You see a Christian lives IN the world, but only participates insofar that their activities are appropriate for someone who (to quote the Bible) "has an eye single to God's glory" (my paraphrase).
I greatly appreciate the help given to me by Larry who originally hostrd this site for me. You can find him at http://www.lerctr.org/~ler. As with Larry's own site, this one is also perpeptually under construction.
And thanks also for the encouragement of several close on-line friends of several Christian chat rooms on IRC.

Cryogenically Frozen Flies Are Being Revived in Uruguay to Fight Screwworm Plague
The flies - bred in a lab - will be imported in "a dormant state," revived and released from airplanes to combat the destructive screwworm.

Millions of frozen flies will soon be on their way to Uruguay, which will then be reanimated and unleashed into the countryside to combat a plague of a parasitic fly species in the country: the screwworm, known locally as la bichera.
The screwworm fly, which is native to the Americas, gets its name for "screwing" into the flesh of warm-blooded mammals, then laying eggs which hatch larvae that eat living tissue. While most fly species larvae eat mostly dead flesh, the screwworm's larvae attaches to living creatures and can cause severe tissue damage and death to its host, making them particularly dangerous for livestock like cows and goats.
In Uruguay, livestock production is a major industry, and the screwworm reportedly causes losses of $40 million dollars a year, according to the Uruguayan government.
MasterChef Contestants Allegedly Cooked Endangered Animals
Nathaniel Janowitz
Fernando Mattos, Uruguay's Livestock, Agriculture, and Fishing Minister, announced the purchase of the frozen flies from Panama in a press conference, saying that it was time to "liberate ourselves from this great plague to the production system." He also said that around 1000 Uruguayans are bitten each year by the screwworm, sometimes leading to grave health effects.
Uruguay will import the army of cryogenic flies "in a dormant state" and will "revive" the insects in a lab, Mattos said, then release them from airplanes. The flies were bred in a Panamanian laboratory and sterilized, unable to produce larvae. Beginning in September next year, officials will disperse millions of flies per week in defined zones that will build a "containment barrier" around the small South American nation along its borders with Argentina and Brazil.
Then, in four years, once the sterilized flies have settled in the region, the government will conduct a nationwide eradication of the screwworm within the country. The sterilized flies, now naturalized around the border, will create a natural blockade stopping new screwworm flies from entering the country. Essentially, the primarily male sterilized flies will compete to mate with the female screwworms in the area. Due to their sterilization, the females will not become pregnant. Sterilized flies do not reproduce, and as more and more are continually released, the remaining screwworm population will decline rapidly.
This tactic has proved successful in the past.
This New Frog Species Looks Really Stoned, So Scientists Named It After Led Zeppelin
The technique first began in the 1950s in the United States and was slowly introduced throughout North and Central America over the ensuing decades. Collectively, nations from the U.S. to Panama eliminated the screwworm fly, creating a final barricade of sanitized flies in the Southern tip of Panama, on a border river with Colombia that separates Central and South America.
Mattos said that the plan is "not copy and paste, but it's a proven technique that we will have to adapt for the characteristics of Uruguay."
The minister specifically pointed out that the length of their borders, 10 times that of the area that Panama still uses to keep the screwworm at bay, is also with two countries who are not implementing the technique. He said hopes in the future that soon this will become a "regional campaign" similar to the success in North and Central America.
"For now, Uruguay is alone, but we are raising the issue with our neighbors, to eventually achieve an agreement with the neighbors, which is fundamentally the same biological containment tactic to stop the reintroduction (of the screwworm)."

What were Einstein's predictions?
Einstein predicted gravitational waves a century ago with the publication of his theory of general relativity. But what inspired him?
Lord Martin Rees, University of Cambridge
Part of the show Gravitational Waves: Discovery of the Decade?
Albert_Einstein_Head.jpg
Oren Jack Turner, Princeton, N.J.
Gravitational waves: this is something that Einstein predicted 100 years ago with his theory of general relativity and scientists have since been scouring the universe for them. This month, the team at the Laser Interferometry Gravitational Observatory, LIGO, announced they'd finally done it... But what are these gravitational waves, how were they found, and why does the discovery matter?
To explain, first we need to go back several hundred years to the birth of the concept of gravity itself and the Cambridge scientist Isaac Newton. He was at Trinity College and - appropriately enough - so is the Astronomer Royal Martin Rees. He spoke to Chris Smith about the history of gravity, beginning with Newton's groundbreaking insights...
Martin - It was the first great unification; he realised that the force that holds us to the ground and makes the apple fall is the same force that holds the moon in it's orbit around the earth and hold the planets in their orbits around the sun. He learnt that this force affects all substances equally and that it obeys the so-called inverse square law, which means that if two objects get twice as far away from each other, the force gets four times weaker and this law explained very well all that was known at that time about the orbits of the planets. But it breaks down in two ways; one way is if things go at nearly the speed of light and the other way is if gravity was very strong. Gravity in the earth and in the sun is not that strong but we imagine that there are objects in the universe where gravity is much stronger...
Chris - Like black holes for example?
Martin - An extreme phenomenon is a black hole, which was one of the great consequences of Einstein's theory, and Newton's theory breaks down under those extreme conditions.
Chris - So along comes Einstein, quite a bit later, but how did Einstein change that?
Martin - Well Einstein didn't really overthrow Newton, he extended and transcended Newton. And his theory allows us to correctly describe what happens under extremes of strong gravity and high speed, but also it gave us a deeper understanding into what gravity was. It wasn't really clear to Newton why it should be inverse square law, why all objects should fall at the same speed whatever they were made of, but that became natural when Einstein saw that this was really a consequence of space itself. Space interacts with mass and the mantra is: matter tells space how to curve; space tells matter how to move; and as an interaction between the behaviour of space and the matter in it.
Chris - Einstein puts forward the idea of this concept of space time, where the fabric of the universe is the notional entity space time and big things that are very gravitationally active will exert an effect or an influence on that space time...
Martin - Yes, space itself becomes a sort of active arena where things happen and the strongest gravity is around black holes. And if gravity changes, if for instance two black holes fall together, then there was an issue in that we thought that nothing could travel faster than light. So, if two black holes crash together, for instance, something must go at the speed of light in order to cause a change in the gravitational pull felt by distant objects, and so there must be some sort of wave that transmits information. And so, Einstein generally predicted that if things change, then they must emit gravitational waves and the trouble is that these waves are extremely weak and they're only emitted by very violent events indeed. That's why they've been so hard to find.
Chris - And how do we know that Einstein got it right?
Martin - Well, there've been lots of tests of Einstein's theory. Classically, soon after he proposed the theory there were tests of how light was bent when it passed close to the sun during an eclipse and astronomers have found evidence for black holes, but we'd really like to have detailed models for what black holes are like. Theorists can calculate what a black hole ought to be like, what shape it would be. But it's been this discovery of gravitational waves which has really helped to clinch that because what's been discovered is that we get this chirp of gravitational radiation that we've just heard earlier on and that's thought to be due to two black holes spiraling together. They orbit around each other, they omit gravitational waves that takes away energy and eventually they coalesce and merge and then form a single black hole, and this effect is predicted by Einstein's theory. We can calculate what ought to happen and what's marvelous is that what's been observed to happen is exactly what you would expect.

which might make you feel that you're inadequate if you're a Penangite and you haven't been there.
Yet another tapas place in Penang after my visit to El Faro.
Located few doors down CF foodcourt, opposite of Clan Jetty.
I was committing a crime and I got so scared!
Was here on a Saturday night and not surprised that it's fully occupied.
almost given up and walk across the road to have tomyam instead.
The view of the courtyard from upstairs, it feels like Italy!
A list of tapas; Almost all of them were finished by the time we arrived.
Note that their Paella(popular Spanish rice dish) is limited to 3 per day only.
It's under Sangria, with the combination Merlot, mornin triple sec and citrus.
I ordered this cause the name is cute, the floating fruit chunks made my night.
Love the way they served on a wooden chopper board.
and capsicum sauce.This will definitely fulfill your crave for savory!
As I have mentioned there weren't much food available, but since I love fries so yea.
I like their mayonnaise, I think there's garlic in it which makes it so yummy.
Music is played and chatters everywhere, great place to chill over snacks.
They have a parking lot just beside the restaurant, RM2 per entry.
Opening hours Tuesday - Sunday 5:30 P.M. till late.
Italy or Spain? Heard of it but have yet to try.
I am thinking to go this Tapas bar too..


Popular copy commad do (for the first look) the same with one difference. It can't handle copying recursive directories. For resolving this issue, microsoft has released newer version of this tool called Xcopy (eXtended Copy). The new one is present in Windows up to today and helps me in situation, which looks as hopeless (for example when the GUI copy methods fail). It has one serious issue. It raises error cited in post title. It is reported when copied file has absolute path (including the drive letter) longer than 254 characters. Because novadays file systems handles longer path, this factitiously small issue comes to really hard problem.
Solution is, of course, find an alternative tool what will have similar syntax. First shot was xxcopy what behaves similars, not exactly the same way. This one has failings too. Most important of them is fact that it requires license for some important features. Closer info can be obtained from program home site.
Tool what I suggest to all (happy ) Windows 7 Users and (not) happy users of Windows Vista is Robocopy. It is available for users of those systems as buildin one. Others can obtain it as part of resource kit. This tool, what name is derivied from "Robust File Copy", is really powerfull during manipulation with huge number of files. Good description of it can be found in Wikipedia.


With hostels, bunkhouses and camping barns across the Brecon Beacons National Park and beyond. Independent Hostels are a great choice of holiday accommodation in the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. The Brecon Beacons National Park was designated in 1957 and was the third park to be created in Wales. The National Park is made up of 4 mountain ranges, the Brecon Beacons, and the three ranges surrounding them: the Black Mountain range and Fforest Fawr to the west, and the Black Mountains to the east. The area is perfect for those who enjoy walking, mountain biking or horse riding in wild upland countryside as well as nature watchers and watersports fans. With canals, reservoirs, lakes, rivers and mountains as well as market towns and the Hay on Wye Literary Festival the area has something for everyone.
The glorious Brecon beacons, home to the Beacons Way and the Brecon Beacons traverse, is one of the wild areas of Wales. Located in the east of the country right up to the border with England, the Brecon Beacons covers the area from Llandeilo in the west to Hay on Way and Llanthony in the east. The area was designated as the Brecon Beacons National Park in 1957 and was the third of the three welsh national parks to be created. The Brecon Beacons National Park is made up of four mountain ranges: the Brecon Beacons, and the three ranges surrounding them: the Black Mountain range and Fforest Fawr to the west, and the Black Mountains to the east. The Black Mountains actually cross the border into Herefordshire and fill the triangular area defined by the towns of Abergavenny in the southeast, Hay-on-Wye in the north and the village of Llangors in the west. TTalgarth and Crickhowell are also Black Mountains towns.
The park was designated as an international Dark Skies Reserve in 2013 making it a wonderful location for star gazing and many accommodation providers are uniquely located to take full advantage of the dark skies .
The park has a network of canals, 9 reservoirs and Wales' largest natural lake making the area a great place to visit for nature watching and watersports. The wild uplands are fantastic for walking and mountain biking and again for experiencing moorland nature or looking out for the famous Welsh Mountain Ponies that graze across much of the uplands.
The main towns of the park are Abergavenny, Talgarth, Crickhowell, Brecon and Hay on Way, the latter being famous for its literary festival.
Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in southern Britain, has an old monument to a lost child, who tragically died whilst climbing the mountain's steep green sides, misplaced on his way home from grandma's house in the valley below. The Black Mountain, Fforest Fawr and Black Mountains provide further wilderness opportunities, with the Welsh valleys travelling up into these areas with their numerous attractions relating to the area's rich industrial heritage.
There are independent hostels and bunkhouses providing holiday accommodation in the Brecon Beacons across the national park as well as some just outside in the Wye Valley. Take a look at the map and listing to plan your perfect holiday in the Brecon Beacons.

St James's Park is a Royal Park with an area of 23 hectares and lies directly to the east of Buckingham Palace which faces out onto the park.
The park is roughly triangular in shape with the base of the triangle being Horse Guards Road to the east, the ceremonial road The Mall forms the northernmost side of the triangle and Birdcage Walk the southernmost side.
Lawns, flower beds, trees and shrubs surround an elongated lake with two islands. A bridge across the lake gives magnificent views of Buckingham Palace to the west framed by trees and the lake, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to the east.
The park is yet another part of the land requisitioned by King Henry VIII for his addiction to hunting deer (see Hyde Park and Greenwich Park). It was subsequently opened to the public in the 17th Century by King Charles II. After this the park became well known for robbery amd prostitution. Today the landscaping designed by Nash in the !9th Century is enjoyed by all.
The lake is home to a diverse range of waterfowl including a colony of pelicans which have developed an appetite for the local pigeons. They were a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles II in the 17th Century and haven't gone away since. One enterprising bird apparently makes a trip to London Zoo at lunchtime to share the animals' meal of fish.

As we tune in further to this resonance, we can begin to access greater layers of our awareness and lovingly find our innate wisdom to heal and transform ourselves. This live music and yoga experience will include some gentle yoga movement, restorative yoga, and meditation to facilitate self healing, connection, and inner transformation.

Fonseca: We always have to play with this team spirit
December 15, 2019 Stefano Bernardini Interviews, Serie A 2019-20 0
Roma collects three important points at the Stadio Olimpico. Fonseca praises the performance of his group.
Three goals and three points against Spal. Roma go ahead on the right path in Serie A and momentarily overtake Cagliari in the fourth position.
After a penalty conceded by Kolarov right at the end of the first half, the Giallorossi played a convincing second 45 minutes overturning the game.
"All the guys had the right attitude, we always have to play with this team spirit," said Paulo Fonseca to Sky.
The Portuguese coach wants to see his players always focused on the game. Roma want to get access to the Champions League next season and there's no possibility to make mistakes.
"The players know that courage and attitude are the most important things to me. If we put everything we have on the pitch and we don't win, it's not a problem for me. Whoever plays for Roma must be ambitious and courageous. We always have to play to win," Roma's coach Fonseca said after Roma-Spal 3-1.
Fonseca faces an important choice: Cetin or Jesus?
Fonseca: Sometimes we have to talk to the team in a different way

Fresh pasta is one of the easiest dish to prepare in the kitchen, yet too often dismissed as elaborate, time consuming, and messy. In reality, all you need is flour, eggs, and the will to prepare it. Fresh pasta opens really many options for food. You can prepare traditional basic dishes such as lasagne or tagliatelle, or you can venture out into more creative stuffed pasta types, such as ravioli, tortellini, caramelle (pasta candies), or baskets. I chose cannelloni for today's meal because I had some aubergine to use and because I felt a bit nostalgic.
Cannelloni to me means tradition, home, simplicity. Close your eyes and think of a wooden table lightly covered by flour. Now, feel that coarse, grainy surface and look outside to see a warm, late morning. You are in my auntie's kitchen, in Bologna; it is a small flat in the city, but the little garden in front of the building is enough to relieve you from any wish to be in the quiet countryside. She walks in, holding a bag of flour and a few eggs, makes a little white mound with a well in the middle–we call it fontana, fountain–and cracks two or three eggs in it. Then it's like finger finesse: you see one hand first mixing the ingredients slowly and in no time both hands are working together with the mix ready to be kneaded.
Every time I sit there and watch, I start asking her silly questions, like a little kid wondering about the secret of a magic trick, but it's all there in front of me. "Just work the dough for a ten minutes and then set it aside for half hour, well covered", she says. The next step will be the rolling pin. In the meantime, you can choose what you want to eat and make the stuffing or the sauce ready.
Cannelloni are one of the simplest, yet most refined uses of fresh pasta. I genuinely love them. It is not my favourite meal, but I have a huge crush on them and there is nothing I can do about it, but eating them. If regularly, even better.
A similar addiction struck the Italian poet Gabriele d'Annunzio, who was indeed a modern gourmand ante litteram. In his energetic and passionate life made of military stiffness and hedonistic pliability, living his duality of aesthetics in a rigor of opulence, he literally depended on the caring attention of his home chef Albina Becevello, possibly the only woman he did not objectify in his life. And in his many written messages to Albina with specific culinary requests of all sorts, at any time of day and night, one can find a true praise for her cannelloni. No wonder. The dualistc pleasure of a fresh pasta roll and its filling, poor ingredients and rich finish, can conquer any human heart and stomach.
Start with the pasta mix: prepare the flour fontana, crack the eggs in it, slowly break the eggs into the flour well, and stat amalgamate the whole into a doughy ball. Knead it for at least ten minutes till it becomes smooth, cover in cling film, and let rest for at least 30-40 minutes.
Chop the aubergines, place them in a sieve and cover them with a weight to let them lose their water (you can salt them in the meantime, if you prefer); when drained, sauté them till golden in a frying pan with the oil. When almost entirely cooked, let them cool down, and then mix them with the ricotta and the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
The Béchamel is ready in a few minutes as well. To help the preparation, leave the milk out of the fridge for a little while, to reach room temperature. Start from the roux, melting the butter and adding the flour–sift it if you can, it will make the sauce smoother. After a couple of minutes with the flour, the roux should turn light gold: slowly add the milk with the fire still on and whisk the mix. When it thickens, sprinkle with grated nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
Work the pasta dough with the rolling pin, till you can make rectangles about 15 x 10 cm, roughly 2 mm thick (I made 14 squares). If you want to make your life easier and the pasta a little bit better, dust the table with some flour and some semolina, but never the rolling pin! Boil the squares–ideally one or two at a time–and prepare the filling in a piping bag. Take one square, fill it with the aubergine and cheese mix, and roll into one cannellone. Prepare the oven tray with a base of Béchamel sauce and start lining the cannelloni while you make them.
Once prepared the tray, cover the cannelloni with more Béchamel sauce and dust with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Bake in hot oven at 200ºC/180ºC fan/mark 6 for about 20-25 minutes, plus an additional 5 minutes to grill.


In April, 23 fisheries and conservation scientists from around the world assembled at a Science Forum in Vancouver to discuss how marine protected areas (MPAs) can benefit both ocean ecosystems and commercial fisheries. Living Oceans played a major role in the forum's steering committee which was a collaboration between the fisheries and conservation sectors in British Columbia.
The five day event opened with a speech presented jointly by two well-known and outspoken scientists with differing views on MPAs, Dr. Ray Hilborn from the University of Washington and Dr. Anne Salomon from Simon Fraser University. This set the stage and the tone for the forum that brought experts with different perspectives together to develop points of agreement.
The steering committee worked for more than two years to find the right questions, develop the format, gather experts from around the world, and assemble an audience of 60 government and First Nation decision makers, commercial fishermen and conservationists. Roundtable discussions tackled MPA issues such as the spillover benefits to fisheries, social and economic effects, coordinated fisheries and MPA management, and decision support tools. In a surprise request, members of the Marine Protected Area Team from three levels of government asked the panel of scientists to review draft objectives for B.C.'s first MPA network and make suggestions to better integrate the ecological and fisheries aspects. The scientists enthusiastically took on the challenge at a weekend workshop following the forum.

WHEN I MOVED INTO A NEW TOWN at 8 years old, I told stories of witches and warlocks chasing me through the old neighborhood—made lots of friends right away. I'm still the same.
I'M A STORYTELLER and professional communicator, shapeshifting into music and photography.
You've designed your masterpiece, but it's in the closet. A well-crafted public relations campaign helps clients gain awareness that leads to sales. I spent a decade in book publicity and Manhattan PR agencies on international brands such as Glad Bags and Pedigree Food for Dogs. I also helped strategize campaigns and wrote press releases for academia.
Join the party. Everyone's talking. Social media is the new water cooler. The more streams of conversation about your product or service, the more exposure. A transparent message is key.
Blogging about social issues or things your consumers are interested in helps put a face on your company, product, or service. Be human.
I am a creative media strategist for authors, musicians, non-profit organizations and academia. Utilizing social media, press contacts, event planning and out-of-the-box ideas, I leave no stone unturned in spreading awareness for my clients.
I teach expository writing and creative writing on the college level and give private guitar lessons.
What type of person are you? How do you learn best? Auditory people enjoy more of a "dialogue" classroom, with lively discussions much like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Visual students benefit from charts, photos, and videos or demonstrations to watch and learn. Kinesthetic folks learn best by actually doing a task or project.
No and yes. I often make the analogy to tennis. You cannot make someone want to hit a ball. However, once they show that desire, you can coach them to perfect their craft. A writer has to want to express words on paper. A good teacher can help patch the rough spots and guide a student to more effective writing.
No doubt, the best communicators rise to the top. When students learn to communicate clearly, both in written text and verbally, they often see the benefit in better jobs and more possibilities in life.

INTELLIGENT COMPUTING https Internet Security ssl Can your Company see what site you visit via Https?
Can your Company see what site you visit via Https?
Https is Secure Connection which uses the SSL to encrypt the data and communication between the Browser and Server so that no one else can see what data are being transmitted. But does this make sure that no one else knows what site you've visited in HTTPS mode?
As the Network grows sharing on network grows which led to grow the attackers on the network raised up. After Many implementation, SSL is here with that protect our data from various site to make our connection secure, safe and reliable.
SSL mainly works on Port number 443 which is for HTTPS, here S is for secure. In this post we are going to discuss the question that we found on one of most famous Forum Stackexchange.com.
Can your Company see what site you visit through Https?
Can my company see what HTTPS sites I went to?
At work my company uses internet monitoring software (websense). I know if I visit a https ssl-encrypted site (such as https://secure.logmein.com) they can't see what I'm doing on the site since all the traffic is encrypted. But do they see, that I visited https://secure.logmein.com ?
Question is Quite interesting and even I was also curious about this so far. In this post we are discussing what happens when you connect to any website like your bank or Mail provider or even Social networking site that uses SSL, does anyone else can see what site you are visiting. Well the answer is Yes!
Whenever you establish your Secure connection through SSL, your browser first sends request to web server in HTTP mode, once the server is ready it can start establishing the HTTPS, that is SSL enable secure connection.
Since Http request is visible to your ISP or network provider, so they can watch what you are going to visit. Though they cannot see what you browsed inside it what transmission took place after you've established your connection because it gone secure and encrypted now.
When you request any website, it first goes to port number 53, that is DNS to resolve the IP address of that host, at this moment your request will be visible to your network administrator.
If your network administrator uses any of network monitoring tool such as netflow, IP to IP sessions, sniffing, they can see your site.
Besides that, if the device you are working on is owned by company, they can measure/audit the activity you are doing on your PC.
Even if you visit those sites using any proxy address, those can also see and log the name servers you are visiting.
If your Network administrator has implemented the protocol for logging, yes they can get where you went, every site every URL they can log. However they'll not be able to view the content you've viewed again because of SSL.
Many Enterprises uses BlueCoat proxy, using this they can view all your encrypted data URLs you've visited.
Also when you establish a connection, server do handshaking with browser and exchange the certificate. Your Administrator can act like MITM (Man in the middle) if they are serious about the security and even tracking and cracking the certificate they can see your URLs.
So what to do for avoiding this!
First answer is, do not use their network or devices use your own net-connect/laptop/Smartphone to visit those sensitive site and secure yourself from those.


Damaged data files can result in disk drive issues. People will often find that a few files turn out to be fully inaccessible. Moreover, if your operating-system isn't booting up in its usual method this can be an obvious sign that you're encountering hardware difficulties as a result of file corruption.

Moreover, using destructive or freeware software can result in difficulty too. You ought to be really carefully when installing any software onto your laptop and you should always close your personal computer down by the appropriate method too. Nevertheless, the good thing is that a quality hard drive recovery Yorkshire company gives you the very best possibility of recovering the files and repairing your disk drive to its optimum condition as well.
Power surges and other electric problems can result in the requirement for specialist hard drive recovery Yorkshire services.

Failure happens because the device isn't receiving the appropriate power supply it needs. Typically users can be supplying too much power to the device and this causes it to become destroyed. Often the hard disk drive may not be able to spin up or perhaps the system BIOS won't be able to recognize the hard drive.
That is it; some of the most common reasons behind disk drive failure. If any of these happen it is essential to look for the best hard drive recovery Yorkshire business to have the best possibility of solving the trouble and retrieving your info. Choose a company offering a wealth of experience and also a good reputation in the market. Never hunt for the cheaper offer – this can be a recipe for disaster.

Lawyer defending accused impaired drivers sought 'extraordinary remedies' in alleging bias against two judges in a row: Supreme Court
May 14, 2017	by Canadian Underwriter
A lawyer representing 10 motorists charged with drinking and driving-related criminal offences in Quebec has to pay $3,000 personally in costs after motions for writs of prohibition against judges were dismissed.
In a decision released Friday, the Supreme Court of Canada restored a ruling by Quebec Superior Court Justice Pierre Bellavance against defence lawyer Robert Jodoin. In 2013, Jodoin "was representing 10 clients charged with driving while impaired by alcohol or while their blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit," Justice Clement Gascon of the Supreme Court of Canada wrote.
"There were 12 cases, and they were joined for a hearing scheduled in the Court of Québec on a motion for disclosure of evidence." Before the scheduled hearing began, Jodoin challenged the jurisdiction of the judge who was to preside over the hearing, alleging bias. Jodoin wrote writs of prohibition. Before those writs were served, crown and defence "learned that another judge would be presiding over the hearing instead," Justice Gascon wrote. "The motions were therefore put aside, and the hearing on the motion for disclosure of evidence began."
During the hearing, crown counsel stated it wanted to call an expert witness and Jodoin objected on the basis that he had not received proper notice. Section 657.3 (3) of the Criminal code of Canada stipulates that "a party who intends to call a person as an expert witness shall" give the opposing party notice "at least thirty days before the commencement of the trial or within any other period fixed by the justice or judge."
Court records indicate that Jodoin requested a the hearing be postponed so that he could examine the resume of the crown expert witness. The judge presiding over the hearing "decided to authorize the examination in chief of the expert after the lunch break." However Jodoin drew up new motions for writs of prohibition, "this time challenging the second judge's jurisdiction and alleging, once again, bias on the judge's part," Justice Gascon added. The crown objected, arguing that "the sole purpose of these successive extraordinary remedies was to obtain a postponement for an ulterior motive," Justice Gascon wrote.
In 2013, Justice Bellavance ruled that Jodoin's motions "were unfounded and frivolous" and ordered Jodoin to pay $3,000 in costs, or $250 per case. Justice Bellavance ruled (in French) that Jodoin's actions led "to paralysis of the legitimate work of the Court of Québec sitting in a criminal proceeding and to disruption of its local judges' case management work," Justice Gascon wrote.
The majority of Supreme Court of Canada judges agreed, ruling that Justice Bellavance's decision was "consistent with the principles recently enunciated" by the Supreme Court of Canada in R v. Jordan, released in 2016.
Barrett Richard Jordan and Kristina Lorna-Marie Gaudet were arrested in 2008 in British Columbia and charged with with offences relating to possession and trafficking of cocaine and heroin. In 2012, they applied to the British Columbia Superior Court for a judicial stay of proceedings. Jordan and Gaudet argued that their right – under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, to be "tried within a reasonable time," was violated. The Supreme Court of Canada, agreed, in a decision released in July 8, 2016. In that ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada established a " ceiling beyond which delay is presumptively unreasonable," meaning that the Crown would have to convince a court that there are "exceptional circumstances."
That ceiling is 18 months for cases going to trial in the provincial court and 30 months for cases going to trial in the superior court (or cases going to trial in the provincial court after a preliminary inquiry).
"If the total delay from the charge to the actual or anticipated end of trial (minus defence delay) exceeds the ceiling, then the delay is presumptively unreasonable," wrote Supreme Court of Canada Justices Russell Brown, Michael Moldaver and Andromache Karakatsanis on behalf of the majority in Jordan.
"In Jordan, the Court emphasized the importance of timely justice and noted that all participants in the criminal justice system must co-operate in achieving reasonably prompt justice," Justice Gascon wrote in 2017 in Quebec (Criminal and Penal Prosecutions) v. Jodoin. "From this perspective, it is essential to allow the courts to play their role as guardians of the integrity of the administration of justice by controlling proceedings and eliminating unnecessary delay. That is what the Superior Court did here."
Essentially, the Quebec Court of Appeal agreed that Jodoin's motions were unfounded but overturned the ruling on costs.
The Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions was successful on appeal.
The Court of Appeal of Quebec failed to identify either an error of law, a "palpable and overriding error in the motion judge's analysis of the facts, or an unreasonable or clearly wrong exercise of his discretion," Justice Gascon wrote on behalf of the majority in its ruling May 12, 2017. "A court obviously cannot award costs against a lawyer personally without following a certain process and observing certain procedural safeguards," Justice Gascon added.
"An award of costs against a lawyer personally can be justified only on an exceptional basis where the lawyer's acts have seriously undermined the authority of the courts or seriously interfered with the administration of justice," he added. "This high threshold is met where a court has before it an unfounded, frivolous, dilatory or vexatious proceeding that denotes a serious abuse of the judicial system by the lawyer, or dishonest or malicious misconduct on his or her part."
In his ruling in 2013, Justice Bellavance "properly analyzed the facts to find that the respondent's acts constituted abusive conduct that was designed to indirectly obtain a postponement," Justice Gason wrote.
Jodoin "was motivated by a desire to have the hearing postponed rather than by a sincere belief that the judges targeted by his motions were hostile," Justice Gascon added. "His subsequent conduct was consistent with this finding. It is quite odd, if not unprecedented, for a lawyer to file, on the same day and in the same cases, two series of motions for writs of prohibition against two different judges on the same ground of bias. The respondent thus used the extraordinary remedies for a purely dilatory purpose with the sole objective of obstructing the orderly conduct of the judicial process in a calculated manner. It was therefore reasonable for the judge to conclude that the respondent had acted in bad faith and in a way that amounted to abuse of process, thereby seriously interfering with the administration of justice."
In dissent, Justices Rosalie Silberman Abella and Suzanne Cote suggested that Jodoin's actions "can easily be seen as an error of judgment, but hardly one justifying a personal costs order."

Arkansas PBS > Engage > Pressroom > Ken Burns's 'The Civil War' to rebroadcast on AETN beginning Sunday to coincide with 150th anniversary of the war
Ken Burns's 'The Civil War' to rebroadcast on AETN beginning Sunday to coincide with 150th anniversary of the war
Posted 04 Apr 2011
"THE CIVIL WAR," the award-winning film produced and directed by Ken Burns that first aired in September 1990, will be rebroadcast on the Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN) over five consecutive nights beginning Sunday, April 3, to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War.
"The Civil War" will air on AETN Sunday, April 3, through Thursday, April 7, at 7 each night. AETN will also rebroadcast "Edge of Conflict: Arkansas in the Civil War" in three parts Tuesday, April 5, through Thursday, April 7, at 9:30 each night.
Additionally, AETN is producing "CW150: Remembering the Civil War in Arkansas" in conjunction with the Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission. The program will air later this month, and more information is available at www.arkansascivilwar150.com.
The Civil War began when shots were fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12. As a result of the confrontation, four more states seceded from the Union, joining the seven that left in February of that year to create the Confederacy.
According to PBS, to date, "The Civil War" remains the highest-rated series in the history of American public television with an audience of 40 million during its premiere in September 1990. The series has been honored with more than 40 major film and television awards, including two Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, Producer of the Year Award from the Producers Guild, People's Choice Award, Peabody Award, duPont-Columbia Award, D.W. Griffith Award and the Lincoln Prize, among dozens of others.
"Prior to 'The Civil War,' my colleagues and I toiled in relative anonymity," Burns said. "While we still work as a small group in a small town in New Hampshire, 'The Civil War' created a new thirst for history and stories about America that has allowed us to explore a wide range of topics.
"Today, as we reflect on the Civil War on the 150th anniversary of the start of battle, I'm very proud that our small film continues to help us understand the magnitude of that conflict, the impact it had on individuals, families and towns large and small, and the ongoing place it holds in our collective memory."
"The Civil War" is narrated by David McCullough and includes the voices of Sam Waterston, Julie Harris, Jason Robards, Morgan Freeman, Paul Roebling, Garrison Keillor, George Black, Arthur Miller, Chris Murney, Charley McDowell, Horton Foote, George Plimpton, Philip Bosco, Terry Courier, Jody Powell and Studs Terkel. Others who provided voices include Derek Jacobi, Pamela Reed, Jeremy Irons, Ronnie Gilbert Kurt Vonnegut, Colleen Dewhurst, Hoyt Axton and Shelby Foote.
"The Edge of Conflict: Arkansas in the Civil War" is a 90-minute documentary that tells the story of Arkansas's role in the Civil War. Using photographs and present-day images from significant sites around the state, combined with the words of historians and people who lived and fought here during the war, the program attempts to help Arkansans recover a neglected history and to remember that even today, the war is a prevalent part of the state's culture and heritage.

After a year of sport (and society in general!) that is better best forgotten, it's a relief that once again the little things we took all too readily for granted – such as attending live sports – are now back on the agenda, with racing being well in the mix. Even casual sports fans are aware of the big UK races, which surely speaks to the audience that horse racing is able to reach. I'd wager that those with only a passing interest in racing would have an awareness of these big three:
The Grand National
Who can deny that the Grand National (10th April 2021) is the jewel in the crown, or not only UK racing, but the worldwide racing scene. Steeped in centuries of history and with television audiences into the hundreds of millions, the Grand National attracts top tier competitors from far and wide and a win in this most prestigious of races is not only financially lucrative but also a career maker. The equivalent of having your name, whether jockey, horse or trainer, into the history books. It was a crying shame that in 2020 we had to make do with the sorry spectacle that is the Virtual Grand National, though in this online age it's at least possible at the click of a mouse button to watch some of the legends of the Grand National such as West Tip and Tiger Roll.
The crowds Cheltenham Roar signals the start of the Cheltenham Festival and interestingly enough that was the last significant crowd participation moment before the 2020 Covid lockdown came to be. The Cheltenham Festival (16th – 19th March 2021) offers a lot of bang for your racing buck in that it gives racing fans the chance to watch four days of top quality racing action, featuring Group One races we all know and love such as the Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase and of course the Cheltenham Gold Cup, one of the most respected National Hunt races in the country with a purse of £625,000. Golden Miller, Arkle, Kauto Star, Al Boum Photo, are all household names either in part or largely due to their Cheltenham Gold Cup successes. The Festival also brings us Ladies Day. There's something for everyone!
Last but not least on our list of races / festivals that we all know and love comes Royal Ascot. Again a festival that goes back hundreds of years (to 1768, or 1807 if we're to include the Gold Cup format), this five day event which has the royal stamp of approval (and even starts with a Royal Procession by the Royal Family) is Britain's most valuable race meeting, with prize money not far short of £8,000,000. 18 group races feature, 8 of which are group one races. As you can imagine many dress to impress at such an event and that adds to the appeal of the whole spectacle. Highly anticipated races at Royal Ascot include the Queen Anne Stakes on Tuesday, Prince of Wales Stakes on Wednesday, Gold Cup on Thursday, Coronation Stakes on Friday and the Diamond Jubilee Stakes on Saturday.
A graduate of the British Racing School, Tom Marquand became apprenticed to Richard Hannon in 2014 at the age of 16. He rode his first winner, Mecado, in a lowly selling stakes race at Kempton in December that year. In his first full season, 2015, much to the delight of horse racing betting fans, he rode 67 winners and won the apprentice jockeys' championship. In 2016, he rode a further 63 winners, thereby riding out his claim and, during the winter, enjoyed a brief, but successful, spell with Australian trainer David Hayes.
In 2017, increased his winning tally to 86, including his first Group winner, Anna Nerium, in the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury. In his next three seasons, Marquand rode 105, 136 and 147 winners, finishing fourth in the Flat jockeys' championship in 2019 and third in 2020.
In early 2020, he returned to Australia, joining Sydney trainer John O'Shea, for whom he won both the Ranvet Stakes at Rosehill and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick on Addeybb, thereby recording his first Group 1 successes.
It's no surprise really that he was drawn to Australian racing and experienced his first Group 1 success there, with its reputation for both top class Group 1 and feature races. This month alone, we have the likes of the Cox Plate and the Victoria Derby to look forward to. Held at Moonee Valley, Melbourne the Cox Plate is a 2040 meter race steeped in history – its origins can be traced back to 1920. Prize money for the race is a staggering $5,000,000 AUD and this year it will be held on 23rd October. Current favourite to win is the Sir Michael Stoute trained and Ahmad Alotaibi owned Zaaki at 2/1 (despite his current shock defeat coming third to Probabeel and Nonconformist at Caulfield). Racing fans will no doubt be using the best betting apps in Australia to place their wagers on this much anticipated race.
The Victoria Derby, held a week later on 30th October, is a group one race held at Flemington racecourse with still impressive prize money of $2,000,000 AUD. Dating back to 1855 (yes you heard that right!) last years winner was Johnny Get Angry.
Both events really though can be considered somewhat secondary to the Melbourne Cup which is held early in the following month. Even in these covid times, such is the excitement and anticipation of the events that it is due to have an attendance of 10,000 as part of Australia's re-opening plan. The Melbourne Cup, held at Flemington racecourse in Melbourne, and first held in 1861 is known as the richest two miler handicap in the world and has prize money of a very weighty $8,000,000 AUD. Those in the running to win this years race (Held on 2nd November) include the Peter Moody trained Incentivize and Spanish Mission.
Outside of Australian racing, Marquand rode his first Group 1 winner on home soil, Galileo Chrome, in the St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster that September, having picked up a 'spare' ride after original jockey Shane Crosse tested positive for Covid-19. On New Year's Eve, 2020, Marquand announced his engagement to fellow jockey Hollie Doyle, whom he originally met at pony camp ten years previously.

Games are biggest winner in UK's cultural economy
By Matt Kamen
Rebellion Games
The video games industry adds more to the UK's economy than any other creative field, a new report has shown - and it's largely thanks to tax relief.
One of the biggest contributing factors has been the introduction of games tax relief which, since 2014, has proven central to getting more British developed games off the ground than ever before. In total, the gross value added by the arts and related fields was £84.1bn at the end of 2014, with "IT, Software, and Games" bringing in more (£36.578bn) than film, TV, music, publishing, design, fashion, and architecture combined.
The trend looks set to continue, too. In the British Film Institute's Q1 2016 report, it is noted that 35 games benefitted from tax relief in the first three months of this year, up from 18 in the same period in 2015. Over the last year (April 2015 to March 2016), the results look even better – 133 games benefitted, up from a mere 19 the year before. The total budget spent on games developed also increased by £37m.
Since the introduction of games tax relief, titles which pass a "cultural test" can apply for tax relief, which substantially reduces the cost of game development. The scheme was lobbied for by trade bodies such as TIGA, which argued that it would help British businesses stand on level footing with countries such as the USA and Canada, and help attract and retain development talent.
thecreativeindustries.co.uk
However, more needs to be done to maintain the tremendous growth seen, and Richard Wilson, CEO of TIGA suggests a three-pronged attack to make that happen. "Firstly, we need more games companies claiming games tax relief. We're very pleased these latest figures show an upward trend and that must continue to stimulate growth," Wilson tells WIRED. "Secondly, TIGA would like the Government to introduce a Video Games Fund which would provide pound for pound match funding of up to £200,000 in order to improve developers' access to finance and to maximise growth in the sector. Thirdly, we need to continue to improve the commercial skills of more games companies so that more games businesses achieve their potential for growth." "TIGA has recommended the introduction of a Growth Accelerator programme which would provide mentoring and commercial advice to games businesses that benefit from our proposed Video Games Fund," adds Jason Kingsley, chair at TIGA and co-founder of British developer Rebellion. "This would ensure that more games companies enhance their business and growth potential. Taken together, these measures would help to ensure the UK's leadership position as a developer of video games."
Wilson and Kingsley also point to the greater ease consumers have in accessing games as a key factor in the sector's growth. "The last few years have been an advent for new platforms like Steam or GOG and there are now more places than ever for developers to publish games," says Kingsley. "New consoles from Microsoft and Sony and the rise of mobile gaming have played their part, creating more opportunities for developers."
The duo warn developers of falling prey to a 'gold rush' mentality though. "I think that a jack of all trades/master of none mind-set is potentially harmful to the long term health of games companies," says Wilson. "With so many gamers and so many platforms, there's a case for developers to find a niche and become the best at it. Whether that's the best RPG developer or best music game developer, if you find a niche and excel, you'll find and grow a loyal audience." "In our experience it's also best to avoid jumping on a gaming bandwagon," adds Kingsley. "If you're hearing about great successes in the press, that ship has probably sailed. Be original. Be creative."
