Entrepreneurship is not easy, and it is not for everyone. The reason lies in the exact quote: putting Sundays in the same phrase as Fridays. Just as this award-winning article on Inc. states, there is a psychological cost involved when having your own business. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index shows that 34% of entrepreneurs reported high anxiety levels. That's 4% more than employees. And 45% of entrepreneurs said they experience stress very often. That's another 3% more than other workers. So things got real. And it's okay; there are ways to deal with them.
Check out these 10 entrepreneurial stress scenarios and solutions.
The problem: Sometimes, having a home-based business can be too big of a burden. While you don't have to pay for an office downtown, and save time with commuting, it can turn against you if you don't stick to a routine or schedule. Don't get buried in work at home just because you can do it all day, all night.
Solutions: Ideally, get an office close to your home. Walk there or bike instead of taking your personal car, Uber, or public transportation. This will help you separate your office life from your private one. If you don't want to give up your home-based office, then create a schedule and stick to it. This means, taking a day off at least once a week. This habit will have great benefits for the brain and productivity – backed by research.
The problem: We tend to withdraw from social life under the premise of attributing the right focus to our businesses. While being focused is a great business practice, it can backfire if done in an exhaustive manner. We all need moments with friends, family and loved ones; they help us go through rough times and see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Solutions: Social aspects are imperative to a healthy lifestyle and can help relief stress. More vacations and parties with family and friends. This is a good way to resuscitate your social circles. Reconnect with college or high school former colleagues. Go to networking events in your city and in other cities. If you're single, don't be afraid to date and ask people out – the worst thing that can happen is you get to discover another human being, which is not so bad!
The problem: In your entrepreneurial journey, expect to fail and fail again. But do not fear the word "failure." Failure is the source of your lessons and knowledge. Don't let your doubts get in the way. It's not a matter of "not being good enough," but rather of growth and learning.
Solutions: Self-doubt is something you have to work on yourself. The best way to do it is through self-rediscovery, which can be difficult to achieve when in physical proximity to your business HQs. Join a yoga or meditation camp outside the city. Go backpacking or hitchhiking. Mountains or the seaside in an off-season can provide a huge reset button and help your mind relax. Enthusiastic travelers can enjoy this summer end's 20% off sale from EagleCreek. The main idea? Whatever you decide to do, and wherever you choose to go, book two weeks off. Period.
The problem:: Having a routine can be a double-edged knife. While it can settle things and help you become more organized, sometimes routines can mess up growth opportunities. To give you an example: a bad routine would be driving your car to your office every day. Or checking your email every 30 minutes. Or getting just 4 hours of sleep per night.
Solution: Decrease the number of bad routines and replace them with good ones. An example of a good routine: hydrotherapy every evening, for 30 minutes. This involves creating a relaxation corner in your bathroom (see suggestion below by ACS designer bathrooms) and spending quality quiet time, accompanied by instrumental music, candles, and aromatherapy oils. Allow access to plenty of light and if possible, have it accompanied by a nice window view to a garden or park. Repeat daily.
Other examples include 10 minutes of meditation per day. 30 minutes of daily exercise. Eat three meals per day, your dinner no later than 7pm. Get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep per night, and go to sleep at approximately the same hour every night.
The problem: Everyone can fall out of love with their passions. Being "married" to your business doesn't necessarily mean there won't be any downs along the way.
Solution: When that happens, instead of stressing out, calm down and think of how you can improve your experience. Sometimes, you don't have to let go of the passion; you just have to rediscover it, or add a complementary one to the bigger picture. Volunteering also helps in the passion rediscovery process, as it is an action not driven by financial means, but by inner motivation.
The problem: Sometimes you don't have to let it go. Other times, you do. When you are forced to let go, there is this battle inside between the person who wants to keep things as they are and the leader who wants to break from the chains. This also applies when you have to fire great people (see what Moz had to say about letting go of 28% of their staff) or give up good clients.
Solution: Surround yourself with people who understand that this is the best decision, whether it concerns you or your employees/clients. In dealing with loss of any nature, the cycle of recovery is to: 1) Let go., 2) Accept, 3) Forgive (yourself), 4) Move on. Don't let your world end after the first. Carry on, be open to new challenges!
The problem: When your business is more than just a product/service/both, the main direction is creating long-term collaborations with your customers and community. Sometimes, however, things don't go as planned. Even a business relationship that has history can fall apart.
Solution: If you're falling out of sync with a client or an associate, discuss and be transparent about your feelings. A business relationship that stopped working can become a huge stress factor. Solving it usually comes from both parties. It won't work if only one side makes the effort.
The problem: It's not just the clients you can fall out of sync with. Or the business partners. Or the team. It's also the projects. Some ideas just don't motivate the entrepreneur in you or are not aligned with your core focus. If you've lost interest for a topic, don't let it become an element of displeasure in your life.
Solution: First, inform the other party about your feelings toward the project. Then, transform the process, from management changes, to tools, communication channels, an upgrade on expectations, mission and vision. Try new approaches. If nothing can trigger a solution, walk away, but not before recommending someone else for the task.
Remember to always leave room for friendship. This project may be a goner, but the future is bright.
The problem: The way people see and talk about you can become quite stressful. As entrepreneurs and leaders, we are often viewed as examples for the communities we are part of. Not only that, but it can feel like failure is not an option. Somehow, because you are in control of your business, people will not allow you to screw up. And when you do, people start talking, analyzing, and mentioning you in their "mistakes to avoid" round-ups on websites and social media. How can you deal with that?
Solution: Don't fear what people have to say about your successes and failures. People will talk. And there's nothing you can do to change their mind. Like Socrates once said, "Strong minds discuss ideas, weak minds discuss people." I would add: Strong people are not afraid to show their vulnerabilities in public. And, to ease out the stress, just have a good laugh about it. It helps!
The problem: Sometimes, not getting it right can have a huge impact on your finances, especially when you bet everything on one business idea. As this entrepreneur says, "Debt doesn't make you a good entrepreneur, and you need to get out of it asap." But that shouldn't stop you from trying. Sometimes, debt can be a huge motivator, though not an ideal one, in getting things done.
Solution: Start by clearly evaluating what you can do to minimize costs. Whether it's cutting staff numbers or giving up on fat salary flyers for yourself, buying cheaper technology or repurposed equipment, you do what you have to do to get out of financial struggles. 1% reduction of debt means earning an extra percent for a clear mind. While not advisable to go fully optimistic and ignore your problems, it doesn't hurt having a bit of hope that things are going the right way. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Nowadays, there are crowdfunding alternatives, Kiva being one of them for micro-entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurial stress is a reality, whether we like it or not. And, as with any reality, the best possible way to deal with it is to accept it and find solutions that can improve it. There are many stories out there about entrepreneurs who had it extremely rough in the beginning. That doesn't mean yours should be just as tough too.
But hey, if that happens, you'll just come out stronger.


The following is the complete list of those noted stories. The alphabet soup at the end indicates the category in the first chunk (SS=short story, NE=novelette, NA=novella), the genre in the second chunk (SF=science fiction, F=fantasy, H=horror, M=mainstream and the tilde (~) indicates my category differs from the webzine's) and the third chunk is its status (HM=honorable mention, R=recommendation, WB="Web's Best" selection, which is a "recommendation plus"). Stories are supposed to be alphabetized by author and then title.
All of those were in the Web's Best Science Fiction which received a relatively massive influx of visitors (hi, Facebook!) and a similar flood of clicks. Particularly glad to see the clicks on the Egan and Prasad which I chose as the bookends because they were the longest, strongest stories and both of which need to win some kind of award for novelette.
I do want to draw attention to some selections from the relatively "underclicked" stories. It's quite possible that vast numbers of people have seen these stories without Featured Futures being a factor and I just don't see the clicks here but, relatively speaking, I'd have liked to see them get more hits.
"The Black Clover Equation" is a hilarious apocalypse and takes a comical scientific method into a world of leprechauns and luck, so is fundamentally fantasy. "Sweetlings" takes a horror sensibility into a world of punctuated equilibrium and climate change so, even if compressed and exaggerated to the point of fantasy, is rhetorically science fiction. "The Garbage Doll" is very dark fantasy or actual horror and "The Dead Father Cookbook," while just plain damn weird, is also kind of a horrific tale if you look at it a certain way. So I'm not generally a fan of genre-fuzz and am not the biggest horror fan and maybe Featured Futures readers aren't either, but I thought these were all remarkable tales. I have no theory for "Penelope Waits." It is a fairly conventional SF tale in many ways but is so well done that it seems like it should win some readers. Except for it and "Sweetlings" (which both made the Web's Best Science Fiction), all of these made Web's Best Fantasy which was a very popular post but was overwhelmed by the popularity of Web's Best Science Fiction.
The Other 2017 Recommendations post mostly covers this, but I wanted to update it here because I did a late review of Weirdbook #37. That brings the total up to twenty-two reviews for Tangent, thirteen of which weren't of webzines. The total non-webzine stories read for Tangent is 95 (bringing the overall total to 604 stories). I don't know the word count but using the average word count of webzine stories (4,198, which is low because printzines, anthologies, and especially chapbook novellas generally have greater average word counts) it's at least another 400K (bringing the total to over 2.5 million words).
One thing that can be derived from this is that, if fifteen professional webzines and a few Tangent reviews amount to that, and there are dozens of other webzines and dozens or hundreds of other Tangent reviews (and even all that wouldn't grab every single story), I think it's safe to say the speculative short fiction market is very healthy – maybe too healthy. And, as there were a handful of significant zines of broad appeal in the 60s-90s along with a few dominant broadcast channels that reached almost everyone, now there's a cable-ization of short speculative fiction with dozens of markets being read by perhaps niche readerships. This has its good and bad effects but it certainly makes for interesting times and many millions of words a year to read.
Twenty-two reviewers combine forces to bring you a massive list of great reading.
Congrats again to the authors, editors (including Tangent's own, Dave Truesdale), reviewers, readers, and all those who make it possible. I hope folks check it out and enjoy it.
As this year ends, before getting to the list I'll mention (as I've mentioned earlier) that 2018 will bring changes to Featured Futures, which include broader coverage and a different review method. Change has actually already begun, since I've reviewed the January/February F&SF (a print zine) and that and all December reviews were an experiment in full Tangent-style reviews for everything. However, as I suspected I would, I've decided to move to a happy medium between the original bare "recs" method and the December method. I'll feel my way towards the precise details over time.
Continuing the theme, a change to note in the webzine world is that Compelling is unfortunately moving from bi-monthly to semi-annual with this month's issue (but for good reasons rather than bad: the editor and his wife are having a baby).
Note: "The Wind's Departure" is a conditional recommendation, as I say in the relevant Wrap-Up, because it's part of a series and, in my opinion, doesn't entirely stand on its own. I do recommend this if you've already read some of the series but don't recommend starting here.
It hasn't been too long since I posted one of these (and very popular they are, too ;)) but the links, partly aided by year-end-ness have really piled up, so here's another installment.
There will certainly be no lack of human pioneers when we have mastered the art of flight… Let us create vessels and sails adjusted to the heavenly ether, and there will be plenty of people unafraid of the empty wastes. In the meantime, we shall prepare for the brave sky-travelers maps of the celestial bodies. I shall do it for the moon, you Galileo, for Jupiter.
On the second, it's not good news for the US that its Russia doing it (and not good news for Angola either). Still, to reference another quote, William Gibson may have said, "The future has arrived – it's just not evenly distributed yet." This shows that the distribution continues, at least. (They actually lost communication with it soon after launch, but it's been restored.) The third link is a pretty good summary of the year.
Now for some nature photography. (I think I got this from the Chrons.) I wonder what it says that animals sometimes seem at their most human when they're at their goofiest.
BestScienceFictionStories.com gives us not just a year, but a decade, in review. (The list is actually an all-time list.) His list is not what my list would be, but it's got some excellent stuff and I respect the reading and effort that went into it. Speaking of respect, James Cambias soulfully argues that Disney lacks respect for Star Wars and its fans. I recently posted some comments on The Last Jedi which skipped over all the plotholes entirely because I felt like I had bigger fish to fry, but Cambias takes an interesting bird's-eye approach to them which gives them their proper due without getting bogged down in details.

I don't talk sports here much (don't know that there'd be even as much interest as there is in the other stuff) but I have to note the bowl victory that ends the Wolfpack's football season.
At one point, State led their division and looked ready to challenge Clemson and perhaps become a national team (and we did play them tough) but it didn't work out. Still, finishing as a ranked team with a 9-4 record and a big bowl victory is a nice season.
While I'm at it, I also wanted to comment on Navy's bowl victory (which I wasn't able to see at all, alas). That, ladies and gentlemen, is football. I watched the Army-Navy game in early December and that was hands-down my favorite game of the season and really of the last many, many years. I loved both Army and Navy this year. Passes? We don't need no stinkin' passes!
Morey Amsterdam died years ago, Mary Tyler Moore died at the start of this year and 2017 has also seen fit to take Rose Marie at the end, leaving only the eponymous actor of the core four still with us. There aren't many sitcoms of the black & white era that entertain me but this was a great show with a stellar cast and Buddy and Sally were a major part of it.
While Rose Marie could be seen as yet another musician who died in 2017, I think of her as a multi-talented comic actress. However, there are some dedicated musicians who left us in 2017 that I may have memorialized elsewhere on the web but don't seem to have paid my respects to here on Featured Futures. I'll do that now.
While the week before Christmas had an avalanche of nine stories of 37Kwds, this week after Christmas seems to have a single story of about 2. So here it is.
Edit (2017-12-30): I keep forgetting that the irregular Grievous Angel can ambush me at odd moments. Appended below is a note on what it promises is the last flash of the year.
"You" are "presently" exploring all the doors in your house which shift and sometimes disappear but lead to magical lands which have varying degrees of danger and which allow you to return after varying intervals.
This very short story is almost dead in the water, being second-person, present tense and extremely "meta" but it's so full of shiny things (moments of beauty and insight and humor) that it's hard not to note it in some way. What really hurts it is the lack of plot. While there is some motion, it's really not that different from the recently reviewed "An Incomplete Timeline of What We Tried" in terms of being a list. Just a shorter, yet much more elaborate and attractive list.
A woman is at the psychic lady's place, seeking solace, talking about her husband and how he usually or always said "I love you" to her before leaving except the day he died in an accident.
This is likely not fantasy at all (certainly doesn't have to be) but you can insist on the reality of an element in the story to make it fantasy. Either way, while it'd be sympathy-inducing in real life, it's rather simple and sentimental fiction.
I saw The Last Jedi over a week ago and have been mulling it over without discussing it much. (It's quite likely I'm adding nothing new to the conversation but it's just my take.) While The Force Awakens and Rogue One didn't fill me with unalloyed joy, I did really like them both, overall, and was basically sold on this "new Star Wars" thing. I even got The Force Awakens on DVD last Christmas and had already put Rogue One on my list (and got it this Christmas). So then I went to see The Last Jedi with high hopes that it would be at least as good as the others and less derivative (or homage-filled) than The Force Awakens.
I'd been really afraid that The Last Jedi would be a remake of The Empire Strikes Back just like The Force Awakens was of Star Wars. They partially avoided this by making it a remake of The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi at the same time. Luke is a sort of anti-Yoda and Rey is a sort of off-beat Luke. Later, "Snoke" (ridiculous name even for Star Wars) and Rey and Ren replay most of the Emperor/Luke/Vader scenes of the third movie. What is so disheartening is that neither recap is remotely as good as the original. The special effects are even richer and the action is even more frenetic but the comparison of ideas and characters and interactions and emotional power of the scenes reveal the new movie's inferiority.
Perhaps worst of all is the Disneyfication of the franchise. I was pleased that The Force Awakens felt like Star Wars. I was initially uneasy but ultimately pleased that Rogue One felt a little different (primarily in a grittier way). But The Last Jedi is a Disney film. Star Wars has always had cute weird critters (the worst offenders being the Ewoks, of course, who had redeeming resistance fighting features, at least) but this movie was chock-full of extreme examples ranging from good Disney ice foxes to horrible Disney "porgs" – the fat bird-like "comic relief" critters. Worse, the poor child-labor urchins with their brooms fell out the utterly wrong kind of stereotypical Disney movie. Again, this isn't unprecedented in the sense that Luke was a poor farmboy but this was extreme. Perhaps worse still was the "humor." Star Wars has always had cynical, smart-alecky humorous dialog (generally very successful) and even sometimes direct "humor" like the critters eating other critters outside Jabba's palace (with mixed results). But this movie attempted to be funny, having the characters "do comedy" in a way that worked in the abstract (because so conventional in moviedom terms) but failed utterly in a Star Wars context, pulling the dramatic rug out from under every scene in which it was employed.
If all that wasn't the worst, the worst was probably Rey. The character has so much potential and Daisy Ridley can be so magnetic that it's obvious she's the star. But she was a mere component of this movie which was as interested in Finn and his gratuitous new love interest and Dameron and all his infighting with the rebel leadership. Which, again, forcibly makes one realize that this movie can't do the "Han and Leia in the asteroid field" storylines. (But it's worse. In the originals, even aside from my enjoyment of all the disparate lines, they all served purposes. You could cut the Han and Leia line from Empire and just recap what happened while they were away from Luke before they all get to Bespin – or cut Luke and Yoda the reverse way – but that would be worse than removing a kidney or a lung "because you can get by with one." On the other hand, the storyline of Finn and the new girl could have been cut entirely with no loss at all and arguably multiple gains.) Obviously a core part of the movie was Rey and she obviously did get a lot of screentime but it was relatively little and she's starting to feel separate from the Rebellion and a mere adjunct to Ren. Vader was always a big draw but Luke and Han and Leia more than held their own. Worse, Ren doesn't remind me of Vader so much as – and here I will mention the trilogy which doesn't exist for the first time – young Anakin Skywalker. Ren has none of the cinematic power of Vader but the script is writing him almost as though he's the actual point of all this. Rey has more cinematic power than Luke and they're sidelining her. And Poe and Finn together, however generally likable, don't make a single Solo.
Not that this movie was all bad – far from it. Allowing for some debatable elements, Carrie Fisher has a good final role and performance, which is very important. And, except for some stray cartoon critters, this movie looked very good. It was reasonably well paced. They did nice things such as with Ren's mask. The fights and battles were very exciting and, again, good looking. Some of the Force elements weren't bad. I was initially mostly happy and only got very uneasy as the looong, two and a half hour movie wore on and, even at the end and for several days later, I couldn't make up my mind exactly what I thought. So, "there is some good in" it. But I believe the new movies have turned to the Disney side.
Perhaps the most telling thing is the "see it again" test. I really feel like I ought to see the movie a second time. Perhaps my reactions would change, at least somewhat. But, while not violently opposed to the concept, I don't really want to cough up more money to do so. And that's certainly not the reaction I had to the other five movies.
All the weekly(ish) zines had stories this week except Diabolical Plots and Tor.com. which makes for a somewhat heavy holiday Wrap-Up (nine stories, 37,000 words). While not everyone participates in Christmas, of course, anyone looking for holiday-themed stories would find only one (a dystopia, of course), though one of the non-holiday stories at least had the Christmas spirit and is coincidentally one of this week's two recommendations.
In a city where the populace ordinarily sacrifices various bones of their bodies, the flute-playing narrator give up a finger joint but her sister sacrifices an ear bone and, ultimately, her entire skull, with epochal effect.
The narrator records this just two or three days after the event and it opens with a tone that, while professing to be angry, sounds almost like humorous snark to me. Even if it is anger, it still seems unlikely that a narrator of these events at this time would narrate in this way. Aside from that, it's technically adequate but is the sort of "makes no damn sense and seems completely bizarre but it's all 'symbolical of something'" story that I don't generally care for, though some do.
In a previous generation, a woman had come to a town and, with the special help of a townsman, saved it from a vague evil incursion, being cursed in the process. Now descendants of each must go fight a recurrence of the incursion. The man incessantly wonders if he can do what it takes ("what" being obvious but unspecified) when the time comes.
I don't mean to be mean, but have to call it like I see it. The characters aren't likable (though there is a trace of Cherryh's Morgaine and Vanye in them – or ought to be), the journey is tiresome, the male lead's self-doubt is repetitive and overdone, the ending is ludicrous but partially obvious all the same, and the whole seems faintly puerile.
What odds? I didn't recommend anything from GA's first ten months of 2017 and am now recommending three of five stories from the last two months and two from a single post. The first reminds me of an Amal El-Mohtar story (unspecified to avoid spoilers) but this one isn't even entirely, exactly fantasy. Certainly unusual and unusually touching, though. The second is very much fantasy and even more powerful. And all in less than seven hundred words. Combined.
Henrietta is a devout St. Thomian who doesn't want to compromise her religion with alien medicine, even to save her life.
The story is very dull with almost no conflict – Henrietta's just going to do what Henrietta's going to do. It opens with a boring, uncontextualized visit with a doctor before finally giving it context and a word to show it's SF. Then it goes back to an unpleasant (understatement) childhood memory. And, eventually, it wanders on to its self-satisfied end.
Along with a problem related to "the coupon," this is specifically another in a spate of recent stories of a certain kind (unspecified to avoid spoilers) and generally another "make fun of locals while talking to them about their supposed alien contact until it's proven in a way that surprises someone in the story" story.
Kate is standing by the road with several others, desperately wanting a car to stop and take her away. Turns out, she's died here in a car crash, which she had as a result of mishandling a personal trauma. That backstory is narrated, along with aspects of her afterlife, while we wonder if she'll ever rest in peace.
This is told with phrasal refrains which may strike you as stylish or annoy you, depending on your taste and temperament, but the foreground story of the ghosts is (quite appropriately) haunting and effective. Unfortunately, the backstory is fine but conventional and doesn't really compare well. Perhaps most significantly, I wasn't thrilled by the ending which seemed more interested in conveying implicit advice to the reader than in being internally satisfying. Still, not bad.
This is a largely misanthropic (and partly, um, "eugynic") tale of the end (or change) of the world. This would be a science fictional apocalypse if most humans were infected by an avian flu which killed us. But this is really an avian flu: it turns us into birds. We explore this milieu through the eyes of a pregnant woman making her way through the changed land.
For what it is, this is competently executed (if long and generally uneventful) and fans of such things will probably like it though it doesn't stand out from the innumerable other tales basically just like it and is unlikely to appeal to a general audience.
A girl wakes up her hungover dad on Christmas. The glass walls show snow and she wants to go out and play but dad distracts her with presents. Then the distraught dad goes off to argue with the distraught mother. And eventually the story gets around to telling us specifically what we've been impatiently waiting for because we already knew generally.

The major cryptocurrency exchange HitBTC recently added support for the euro-pegged stable coin named 'EURS' – right after the announcement that an institutional investor snapped up a $10 million stake in the coin a few days after it launched in Malta.
Right now, the coin is seen as the world's first crypto EUR to crypto USD pair that is trading live on the crypto exchange HitBTC. The news was also tweeted by the exchange.
This was the main indication for the "keyboard war" between McCaffee and HitBTC, even though some analysts said that this was all good publicity for both McCaffee and the exchange.

With financial support from the European Union UNICEF launches the 'RM Child-Health' project to strengthen vulnerable refugee and migrant children's health
https://www.unicef.org/eca/press-releases/financial-support-european-union-unicef-launches-rm-child-health-project-strengthen
– Under the Health Programme of the European Union, the Directorate General for Health and Food Safety has committed a project grant to UNICEF to support work ensuring refugee and migrant children and their families have access to quality health care and accurate health information in Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Spain, Bosnia Herzegovina and Serbia. Refugee and migrant children and their families often have more health-related risks and face a number of barriers accessing quality health care. Many children and families also live with severe emotional distress due to the trauma of fleeing home, undertaking dangerous journeys and experiencing abuse and exploitation, including sexual and gender-based violence. The global COVID19 pandemic further exacerbates these health challenges. "With the ongoing pandemic, protecting every child and adult's right to health care and accurate heath information is paramount. This collaboration with the EU Health Programme will help ensure the most vulnerable refugee and migrant children will have better access to primary healthcare services, psychosocial support as well as violence prevention and response services," said UNICEF Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia and Special Coordinator for the Refuge and Migrant Response in Europe, Ms. Afshan Khan. The project 'RM Child-Health' will help improve the health of refugee and migrant children by improving their access to life-saving immunizations, mental health and psychosocial support, gender-based violence prevention and response activities as well as maternal and newborn health care and nutrition support. Information materials on health-related risks and services available for refugee and migrant populations will be created and shared. Medical interpreters and cultural mediators will be deployed to support communication between children and families and health care providers. The project 'RM Child-Health' will also support training programmes so frontline health care workers can better respond to the specific needs of refugee and migrant children and their families. In parallel, national health authorities will benefit from technical support to develop, update and improve the implementation of health policies and address bottlenecks in national health systems that currently prevent refugee and migrant children from accessing services.

Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on children and families in the Western Balkans and Turkey

There is abundant evidence that children bear a heavy burden resulting from disrupted essential services, increased social isolation, and loss of family income. In pandemic times, parents and caregivers are more likely to feel overwhelmed with providing stimulation and care for their young children and delay seeking prompt medical attention for children. Childhood immunization and other basic services were often suspended. School closures can mean a year of lost learning and children become more susceptible to dropping out. Uncertainties have created family distress, which contributes to serious mental health issues, especially among children who are vulnerable to violence and abuse. The pandemic has deepened pre-existing vulnerabilities of children with disabilities and children living in poverty. In 2021, UNICEF and the European Commission Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations launched a two-year initiative to

Babak Castle, also known as Immortal Castle and Republic Castle, is located in the northwestern part of Iran, in the mountains of Arasbaran forests in Kalibar city near Tabriz. This fort was built in Sassanid era by Babak Khorramdin, the leader of the Khurramites in Azerbaijan. He built this stronghold in order to protect Iran against Arab invasions and he was successful. The castle stood up for about 20 years against them and after 1200 years, it is still standing there like a soldier on duty and it has become a national symbol for Iranians.
One of the great experiences you will have is that you may be lucky enough to see the Nomad camps. The nomads are very kind and they will welcome you with their fresh dairies. Walking up this castle needs a pair of hiking shoes and plenty of water because you are going to climb for about 3 hours and you have a hard path ahead to get to the 2380 meters high fort. On your way, there are some broken stairs and at some points no protection fences, so you have to be extra careful. But as soon as you see the view of Arasbaran forest and cliffs, you will forget about the difficulties and you will be able to enjoy the stunning view in front of you. The cool weather is pleasing and the cold breeze touches your skin, you feel alive in the wonderful structure of this large citadel.
When you are in the castle, you can imagine how a soldier felt when he had to look down where he could see any moving creature like a hunting hawk. You will be amazed by the greatness of the castle and the structure of its big hall and the rooms around it. If you want to be taken back to the history and experience an amazing adventure, don't miss this chance to visit the fabulous Babak Castle.


Stigma often surrounds unresolved trauma. Kindness, including self-kindness, is a gateway for healing and an essential element in supporting people who are working through crippling memories. Only then can they feel competent and present as parents.
Awareness that a parent's brain may be remembering trauma from their own childhood is a way to get past feelings of shame.


In 2011, I read 53 books, and I was pretty pleased with that number. I blew that out of the park in 2012 with a total of 79 books read. I'm pretty sure this number is unlikely to be matched this year, as I can credit last year's explosion in reading to getting a lot of mystery novels on the Kindle and blowing through them (Charles Todd and Robert Crais, I'm looking at you). My favorites were Nightwoods by Charles Frazier and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. (My least favorite was Maisie Dobbs -- the writing was so atrocious I wanted to gouge my eyes out at several turns.) Apparently, my longest book last year was Skippy Dies at a whopping 661 pages (luckily, Skippy didn't have to contend in the year I read War and Peace).
I can't say that I have any major goals for reading this year, but I have set a personal challenge to myself to continue going through all the old books on my "to-read" list, and I would like to try to read more nonfiction. And read at least 50 books in the year, of course. Typically, this post is accompanied by a picture of the stack of books I got over the holidays, but this year I only got a cookbook and a copy of The Invisible Bridge. So my reading list is wide open, people. All recommendations welcome.
I'm gonna stick with the goal of 30 because I want to read more books in Spanish this year and those always take me just a little bit longer.
those have been some recent highlights for me.
I couldn't keep going with Maisie Dobbs either!!!
My Wife, Mother-in-law and a friend had a competition this year. I wasn't even close to winning (MIL won with 110 books) but I beat my personal best of 29 books with 42 books read. Goal this year bigger books and 43 book count. Still looking for that 5 star book.

March 29, 2017 - Fiscal Politics: The IMF explores another side of public finance
Summary: Politics influence economic outcomes through various channels, including structural reforms and monetary and fiscal policies. The proximity to elections can affect the mix of government's spending plans. Political divisions could lead to larger fiscal deficits and public debt. Political ideology can have an influence on the design of tax and expenditure policies. With politics affecting fiscal outcomes, the issue that arises is whether fiscal rules and institutions can make a difference. This is the focus of a new book by International Monetary Fund staff, "Fiscal Politics."

Path of Exile has officially revealed that there would be two new skills added into the game along with the release of the Synthesis League in the next month. Named after Soulrend and Bane respectively, the two skills cast and function in different ways, as well as with the result that damage durations and damage areas.
Soulrend is a projectile skill that weaves through enemies and works perfectly for the enemies in the middle or long distance from the caster. Meanwhile, when the skill hit any enemies, it immediately bounces through them into their vicinal ones. The projectile travels through the enemies with medium-sized-radius damage over time effect. The damage over time effect of Soulrend skill is largely appreciable, however, the duration of this effect is quite short.
Enemies hit by Soulrend takes a handful of damages while the skill can grant a large amount of Energy Shield Leech to casters. Although Designed to be an independently-used skill, Soulrend can also be used in conjunction with Essence Drain for a much more significant damage-over-time effect and life-restoring effect.
Unlike the Soulrend, Bane is a skill that features large-area damages with instant casting. Also, it can apply linked curses to enemies. As one more curse Bane applies, there will be more over-time damages to enemies and 50% more duration of this skill. Bane also features Curse skill type, it allows some modifiers on the passive tree to apply to casting the Bane Skill.
In addition to a full introduction to above two new skills, the post indicated that some major improvements of Chaos Spell that devs have been working on all along. The changes are mostly from Blight Threshold Jewel. Quote the blog post, "We've changed this threshold jewel to instead cause each pulse of Blight to also apply Wither for 2 seconds per jewel." The improvements reportedly result in higher damages of Chaos Skills than the previous ones.


Read This Review Before You Buy a New Pump!
Before you spend money on a pump that doesn't fit, or spend extra money on a brand new pressure washer, check out my #1 top replacement pump that works on ALL pressure washer brands: the Generac universal pump that's available on Amazon!
You'll save money by replacing your pump - and it's only a matter of removing a few bolts. Easy. And when you compare PSI power, GPM ratings, warranty & price, the Generac UNIVERSAL pump for all pressure washer brands is my top choice for the best & most economical pump on the market!
It's built with high quality plungers, has a great warranty, works with any pressure washer engine with a max of 3,000 PSI, has a 3/4" shaft and you can check Amazon's great price on this Generac pump that works with ALL pressure washer brands!
This exceptional Generac Horizontal Pump works with ALL washer brands! Provides powerful 3,000 PSI and high quality components. You can check the price on Amazon.
This Himore vertically mounted pump works with many brands. With 7/8" shaft, 2,700 max PSI & 2.4 GPM. You can see Amazon's price.
An AR North America Triplex pump with whopping 4,000 max PSI and 4 GPM. You can read other reviews & check price on Amazon.
A lot of my readers are surprised to find out how easy it is to it is to change out a pump.
1. As you shop around for a replacement pump, keep in mind that you don't have to choose the same pressure washer pump manufacturer brand for your replacement pump! For instance, if you have a Comet pump, you don't have to replace it with another Comet pump.
2. You can choose any pump brand as long as the PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) and GPM (Gallons per Minute) specs match your existing pump. You need to match, as closely as possible, the PSI and GPM specs on your existing pump with your new pump.
3. And you need to match up the mounting direction (horizontal or vertical) and the bolt pattern of any replacement pump.
4. Once you'd followed these 3 steps, its really as easy as removing a few bolts!
With improvements in design & technology, pressure washer pumps now can run longer with less maintenance.
To keep your pump running, you need to always make sure you keep dirt out of your pump - and that you change your pump oil on schedule. The only exception to changing your pump oil is if you've got one of the newer style sealed & maintenance free pumps on the market.
You should change your pump oil every 50 hours of running time - or once a year - whichever comes first. Your owners manual will tell you which oil brand to use on your washer.
To change your oil on your pressure washer pump, you'll first need to drain the oil and fuel from the engine. Then remove the oil cap from the pump and drain the used oil. You'll need to tilt your washer to drain the oil.
Now fill the pump with fresh oil. Put your oil cap on again & make sure your washer is in the upright position before you start it up again.
I hope my pressure washer pump replacement tips help you get your unit up & running again!

A 27year-old university graduate, Segun Aderibigbe, has been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command for allegedly breaking into the house of his former boss in Lagos and making away with a Jeep, jewellery, money, among other valuables. The suspect was said to have been arrested with an accomplice, Issah Rafiu, 28.
The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, said Aderibigbe and Rafiu attempted to cover their tracks at the scene of the robbery by destroying a Closed Circuit Television camera installed on the premises before heading to a hideout in the Apete area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
He said, "The suspects broke into the house at night and carted away several valuable property, including the victim's Sorenzo Kia Jeep, with number plate, MUS 809 DA, in which the stolen valuables were taken away. To cover their tracks, the suspects vandalised a CCTV camera installed in the house and made away with the PVR decoder.
The leader of the two-man gang, Aderibigbe, said he was familiar with the security system in the house having worked with the owner while on industrial training at her company.
He said, "During my industrial training programme with the owner four years ago, she allowed me to live in the house.
"When she travelled out of the country, I thought it was an opportunity for me to loot the house. I knew where the keys were kept and because I studied mechanical engineering, I know how to work on CCTVs to evade being caught.


Concerning their nature of operation, bunded tanks are a delicate product that requires careful handling. These tanks are carriers of hazardous substances, thus it requires precision and skill to handle them. What's great about these tanks is the fact that they can be used to contain and transport fuels and other toxic substances in large quantities, by which normal containers cannot.
Being aware of how crucial the use of a bunded tank is, it should be of utmost important to carry out all the necessary care and precautions to ensure that all the safety standards are met. You'll find many cases of leakages in normal fuel tanks. Just imagine what happens when the substance inside such tanks is exposed to fire or contaminate water supply systems and bodies of water nearby.
The degree of damage a toxic substance leakage can cause cannot be more emphasized, as we know the major and unimaginable levels of danger and disaster that can happen. Any leakage can be devastating and a lot of lives and assets will be at stake. Not only will it endanger the lives of many people and the environment, but it will also be a massive loss for the company. To avoid this horrific scenario, it is important that you learn and understand all those tanks on offer and purchase from a reputable firm.
A bunded tank is designed for containing hazardous substances and prevent any possible leakage. Therefore, you should choose a bunded tank that could meet this standard. See to it that the tank is able to hold the contents and have the least chances of leaking due to cracks or punctures. Quality bunded tank means minimal to no cases of accidents taking place under such conditions.
A good bunded tanks should have proper steel on top, which means it is a purely fortified type of steel that cannot be punctured easily. This means it is not the normal type of steel used in various other products metal products. Choose a bunded tank that is made of fortified stainless steel, as it is the ideal material to ensure the safety.
Moreover, make sure that the bund is full and not partial. In other words, do not choose a tank that is bunded up to a certain level only that the rest is left out such that it is exposed to the substance contained. This is common among the plastic ones and must be taken note of since the plastic ones can be punctured easily. The steel ones need proper bunding too, since they are also prone to being punctured. However, the chances for steel tanks being punctured are a bit low than those made of plastic.
This is not to say though that plastic bunded tanks are not good enough. It all comes down to your personal preferences and circumstances, and the type of substance you need to contain. Check out other features of the bunded tank to ensure safety. Just make sure that you choose the one with the best specifications.

THE FLEECE AS A PERSON
OR OBJECT NAMED RAM
Ancient Sources
Beginning with the rationalizing mythography of Palaephatus (uncertain date; perhaps late fourth century BCE), there has been a trend to explain the events of the Argonauts' voyage as distortions, exaggerations, and misinterpretations of historical events. Palaephatus rationalized the Golden Fleece as a statue of a woman named Fleece carried on a boat provisioned by Mr. Ram. Dionysus Scytobrachion, as preserved in Diodorus Siculus, instead proposes that the boat was itself the Ram, after its carved prow. Didorus also preserves the claim that aboard the ship was Phrixus' tutor, another Mr. Ram (Krios or Crius--an actual Greek first name then in use), who was killed and strung up in Colchis.
On Unbelievable Things
Palaephatus
c. 325-300 BCE
Athamas [...] had and administrator [...] whose name was Ram. [...] Ram himself equipped a ship: he put on board [...] a life-size, golden statue which a woman by the name of Fleece--she was the mother of Merops and the daughter of the Sun--had made of herself from her own wealth. [...] Phrixus married the daughter of Aeetes, the king of Colchis, giving as a dowry the golden statue of Fleece. Later when Athamas died, Jason sailed in the Argo after his golden Fleece--but it was hardly the skin of a ram. And this is the true story. (Excerpt from Myth 15)
Source: Palaephatus, On Unbelievable Tales, trans. Jacob Stern (Wauconda, IL: Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, 1996).
The Library of History
c. 1st c. BCE
And much like to this story, is what they say concerning Phryxus: for they say that he sailed in a ship, upon whose fore-deck was carved the head of a ram, and that Helle by leaning too much forward over the sides of the ship to vomit, fell over-board into the sea. Others say, that about the time that Phryxus with his schoolmaster was taken by Aeetes, the Scythian king, the father-in-law of Aeetes, came to Colchis, and fell in love with the boy, and upon that account he was bestowed by Aeetes upon the Scythian, who loved him as his own child, and adopted him as his heir and successor to the kingdom. But that the school-master whose name was Crius, was sacrificed to the gods, and his skin, according to the custom, was fastened to the walls of the temple. (4.47)
The Annals of History
Many stories are told about Jason, and the famous oracle of Phrixus. No ram may be sacrificed to Phrixus, because he is supposed to have been carried by one of those animals, whether it really was a ram, or only the figurehead of a ship. (4.34.4)
Source: The Annals of Tacitus Books I-VI: An English Translation, trans. George Gilbert Ramsay (London: John Murray, 1904)
Modern Interpretations
Modern writers have drawn on the ancient works, and this is well-shown by the tendency of early modern rationalizers to follow Diodorus Siculus in adopting the boat named Ram as a preferred explanation. More recently, "alternative" archaeology authors, like the Afrocentrist theorist quoted below, have reimagined the assumed existence of the boat named Ram as proof of a connection between the Argonauts and other ancient civilizations, in this case ancient Egypt, based on a web of assumption and coincidence. As can be seen, there is a direct line between modern rationalizations and the rationalizations of the ancients themselves--and neither has actual evidence to support their claims.
Mythology and Fables
By way of Explanation of Circumstances so manifestly absurd, the antient Mythologists invented a new Fable, and said the Governor of Phryxus was named Crios, the Ram, or Chrysomallus, the Golden Fleece: But I believe we had better say simply with Diodorus Siculus, Eusebius, and the antient Scholiast on Apollonius, that the Ship on which Phryxus went aboard was named the Ram, or the Golden Fleece, because it bore the Representation thereof. I add, that this Ship being very light, had flown, as I may say, from Greece to Colchis, and that Phryxus, according to the Custom of those Times had consecrated the Prow of it to one of the Gods whom I have named. 'Tis even easy to see from this Explanation, in what Sense it might have been said that the Ram and the Golden Fleece was the Son of Neptune, because the Ram represented the Ship which carried Phryxus and Helk, and every good Ship might be considered as the Son, or rather the Work of the God of the Sea.
Abbe Banier, The Mythology and Fables of the Ancients, Explained from History (London: A. Millar, 1740).
A Classical Dictionary
John Lemprière
The fable of the flight of Phryxus to Colchis on a ram has been explained by some, who observe, that the ship on which he embarked was either called by that name, or carried on her prow the figure of that animal. The fleece of gold is explained by recollecting that Phryxus carried away immense treasures from Thebes. (s.v. "Phryxus")
Egyptian Civilization in Colchis on the Black Sea
R. A. Jairazbhoy
The fleece is described as being "watched over by a serpent." Such a golden ram's head overlooked by a serpent occurs nowhere else than on the prow of a ship of Ramses III (and one of his predecessors). The ship was named Userhet, it was 130 cubits long (about 200 feet), and had golden rams on both prow and stern, each with a uraeus serpent overtopping it surmounted with the sun's disk. Below is a grand collar, which could have been mistaken for its fleece.

Philips marks World Sleep Day with awareness initiatives in major Indian cities
AcademicsFeaturedInternational News
Chennai: Philips Healthcare India today marked World Sleep Day 2017 by announcing plans to extend sleep camps and launch a Centre of Excellence for training doctors on diagnosing sleep disorders in major Indian cities in 2017. Currently, India is suspected to have over 91 million people suffering from sleep apnea, a major cause of sleep disorders.
The Centre of Excellence will provide training to doctors on diagnosis and treatment of sleep associated disordered breathing. By providing certified training, the Centre will encourage doctors to diagnose and treat patients for sleep disorders across major cities in India.
While the Centre will provide specific training to doctors, the sleep camps will raise awareness on sleep disorders and the necessity of visiting sleep labs and seeking medical attention for healthy and sound sleep.
Reiterating its commitment towards training sleep technicians, Philips will also continue to train staff and assist hospitals in setting up sleep labs across the country. Till date Philips has trained over 400 sleep technicians and guided the launch of 500 sleep labs in India.
"Awareness on sleep disorders is rising – people are increasingly looking at lack of sleep as a potential health issue. But a lot needs to be done, especially in tier-II cities. At Philips, we will continue to drive awareness on sleep disorders and map peoples' sleep patterns in sleep labs. Sleep disorders and their relation with potentially life threatening conditions like diabetes, hypertension and cardiac arrests cannot be ignored" said Harish R, Head of Sleep & Respiratory Care at Philips India.
Dr N. Ramakrishnan, Senior Consultant & Director, Nithra Institute of Sleep Sciences, Chennai said "Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is increasingly prevalent in younger age group while more common in mid aged and older individuals. OSA is more common among men although it may also affect women. Obesity is often a risk factors, but interestingly in Indian population, several non-obese individuals are also noted to have OSA."
Philips Healthcare India continues educating people on the symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) like unwarranted daytime sleepiness and trouble in concentrating which can have an impact on productivity, lead to accidents and lower the overall quality of life. Not only does this affect general lifestyle patterns but chronic sleep disorder could also lead to graver health issues like cardiac conditions, strokes, neurological disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and irregular heartbeats.
In India, incidence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) varied from 4.4% to 13.7%. The prevalence of OSA is high in Northern India with 13.7% of the population reporting the syndromes. Statistics reveal that OSA in Indian males varied from 4.4% to 19.7% while amongst females it ranged from 2.5% to 7.4%. In context to OSA's prevalence in different age groups, the elderly have been observed to have high snoring and high excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with 27% being habitual snorers. OSA is also correlated with heart failure which is 12-16% more prevalent in OSA patients. It has also been observed that approximately 60-70% of OSA patients are obese.
Patients can give a call on the toll free number 1800 208 2882 to get more details on sleep disorder screenings and schedule appointments with doctors.

CLOCK OPERA draw from such esoteric sources as the systems music of Steve Reich and Philip Glass and have played their second ever gig at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London backing the international Ballet Rambert. But you don't need any special qualifications to enjoy what they do, just an appreciation of quirkily melodic pop. This they create via a combination of conventional instrumentation and electronic production and manipulation, with specific attention to layering and repetition, and the application of various effects and devices. Guy Connelly's vocals effortlessly swoop and soar above the music, heightening the drama and moving it ever further away from the everyday manner in which it was born and places him in that small but select pantheon of distinguished male pop vocalists that also includes Billy Mackenzie of Associates, Haydon Thorpe of Wild Beasts and Antony Hegarty of Antony and The Johnstons, singers unafraid of expressing themselves in an unguarded, emotional way. Clock Opera are a studio unit who push the recording process as far as it will go, but they are also a fully functioning performing band who can reproduce the intricacies of their music while gaining a new urgency and energy. They are one of those bands that will get under people's skin and affect the way they feel. It demands an emotional response and will always mean something for the listener. Paul Lester
Clock Opera, I remember thinking, have this wonderful tendency to sound like their music combines real memories and made up memories, strong memories and shredded memories, and some sense of the mental and physical reality of a classic surprising pop song. They begin a piece of music... Read More →

The Stress 2 sounds deal with a series of deeper levels of stresses than the original Stress sounds no 61 which were one of the earlier Sounds from Source programs. Stress 2 addresses the additional levels of stress on the organs and processes body which come into play when we are stressed and works to alleviate these deeper stress levels.
Once again we have an 'ask and it shall happen sound'! Susan made a comment in passing that she felt stressed and related those feelings to a concern for the health of the organs of the body if they are constantly under stress. A discussion on the subject and we have a Stress 2 sound.
Comment from Susan – I had undergone some fairly major changes in my work / life schedule and had been feeling very, very stressed. Which I have to say is unusual for me as I have learned over the years to allow very little to affect or have an effect on me and if it does – it doesn't stay for very long.
Given that I was also picking up major stress from those around me due to changes also – the whole situation escalated and no matter what I had done in the past – the stress kept rolling back like a continuous landslide.
Finally, I had had enough.
Stress is not good for my body and after playing my usual playlists for times like these and finding they were not doing 'enough' for me – I asked Sheila if we could please have an upgraded version to deal specifically with acute and chronic physical stress and importantly – picking up this stress from others and so on.
Sheila, being Sheila complied very quickly and I have to say – the moment I played it – it was like a big 'whoosh' of cohesive peace and relaxation descending upon and through me and the effects of the sound stayed with me.
Huge thumbs up for this sound.

Now, One individual can start a company in India – One Person Company or OPC
Last updated on July 10, 2015 by Editorial Staff
Under the old Companies Act 1956, it was required to have at least two people to form a private limited company and 7 people to form a public limited company. There was no concept of forming a company with a single shareholder as its member.
Also Read: Minimum Persons required to register a company in India
In Companies Act 2013, a new concept has been introduced known as One Person Company which gives an opportunity to Indian entrepreneurs to enter the corporate world. It's popularly known as OPC i.e. One Person Company.
In this case, one individual can register a company in India by becoming a shareholder or member cum director of the same company. Liability of the member in this case is limited, which was not the case in Proprietorship business.
Also Read: How to register a One Person Company in India
One Person Company can be formed by an individual by subscribing his or her name to the memorandum of association and complying with the other requirements of the Companies Act 2013 in respect of registration.
After registration, the words "one person company" shall be mentioned in brackets below the name of such a company, wherever its name is printed, affixed or engraved.
How to convert private company to OPC
How to convert OPC to private limited company
At the time of registration, the OPC should also indicate the name of another person as nominee, with his prior written consent in the prescribed form.
Such nominee shall become the member of the company in the event of the subscriber's or shareholder's death.
A written consent of such person (nominee) shall also be filed with the registrar of companies at the time of incorporation along with its memorandum and articles of association.

OPC is a new concept for India but worldwide it's used in countries like the US, and many countries of Europe, China and Singapore. The entrepreneurs in these countries have options to decide the constitution of company as per their need and the option of an OPC is available to them.

On March 27, staff and students from the Gene Juarez Academy South Campus styled the annual fashion show to benefit St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way. This year's fashion show theme was Girls, Pearls and Studs. Students performed updos and makeup touchups on models for the event. Proceeds benefited the Music and Healing program at St. Francis Hospital, which offers solace through music therapy to those suffering from disease and trauma.
The students at Gene Juarez Academy are committed to supporting the health and well-being of our Seattle area neighbors through volunteerism. If you know of upcoming charitable events, let us know!


Added salt, oil and sugar have no place in a healthy diet and numerous studies have shown that they are major contributors to high blood presure, clogged arteries, diabetes and a host of other degenerative diseases. The good news is that NHA Featured Chefs like Cathy Fisher and Jeff Novick demonstrate they they are not needed for meals to be easily prepared and deliciously enjoyed. The bad news is that so many packaged foods are loaded with all three.

Q: Booting Windows7 kernel from an initrd/wim image file I'm wondering if it's possibile to have Win7 kernel and relative drivers (especially storage drivers) to boot from an initrd-like image file (maybe .wim?) and later then mount the windows root partition and complete the load of the full OS?
I'll try to explain why:
I'm running an emulated environment with NO REAL BIOS, and I'm passingthrough a raid storage controller.
I want windows to boot from this controller array, but of course the BCD manager cannot access disks in the array until kernel and relative controller storage drivers are loaded. To be clear I get the classical winload.exe missing error.
I need a similar solution to what Linux does, loading the kernel and his drivers, and later then mount the root partition and complete the boot.
Any ideas or advices?
