I shared My Training & Nutrition Program in October and it has been one of the most-popular articles posted on this blog. In the article and on The Integrated Insider, I mentioned that is my program and how the training and nutrition principles apply best to me, right now. Copying this program would not be a good idea for someone else.
As a result, I had some questions asking about the application of these same training and nutrition principles to their goals and experience. Since I do not know enough about each individual to provide personalised recommendations, I decided to put together four articles outlining how we apply the training and nutrition principles to different clientele.
The aim of these case studies is to demonstrate the strategies and considerations made for these clients, in a setting that is relevant to you. As a I mentioned in my program, those were the strategies for me, while one of these articles may be better-suited to you. However, these are still not personalised to your goals, experience and lifestyle, so be wary of implementing too many of the strategies.
These strategies are not advice or specific recommendations for any individual. They simply an insight into the successful strategies we have used with these types of clients.
The information used here in not specific or typical of each group. It is simply a reflection of the clients I have worked with and the strategies used. Any generalisation reflects that of experience with these clients, not a wider generalisation of gender and/or age.
Body composition: decrease fat mass and increase muscle.
Training: increase strength - mostly general strength, but sometimes specific exercise (chin ups, squats, etc); learn how to exercise with correct technique; increase fitness.
Most have experience with sustained exercise and sport in the past, but often it has been 5-15 years ago since is was consistent. Of recent times, some have tried a few times to get back into it but were unable to adhere. The desire to use correct technique is often a reason for hiring a coach.
Most are long-term recomposition programs. Sometimes there is a key date - such as a holiday or wedding - which might be used as a intermediate or mid-program goal.
Most have children aged 8-20 years and are working full or part-time. Weekends are usually packed out, so we put together training sessions early morning, daytime or the 8am/9am slot can be popular if training in the gym.
The morning training session seems to work well. However, this might be skewed for me as I only offer morning training sessions.... there could be a tonne of people for whom morning sessions do not work, hence they are not training with me.
Typically train at the same time each week. Although the schedule is busy, it is usually adhered to.
This will vary for the individual, but here is an example of a training session for a beginner-level trainee in the gym three times per week. The emphasis is on technique and introducing a range of movements (hinge, squat, press, pull).
Since the middle-aged females that I work with have beginner-level training experience, we typically start with a upper/lower/full body training split. There are a lot of bodyweight exercises while technique is being refined.
Row - intervals or steady-state, depending on fatigue and how long training for.
Social sports are popular - mainly basketball or netball - once per week. Since these are only once per week, and include no training, they have minimal impact on training. It is always useful to keep an eye on fatigue, but usually there is minimal impact.
Middle-aged females train hardest in the gym.
No complaints - just get it done.
There is research to show that females tolerate pain better than males, in the gym.
For moderate-high rep training, middle-aged females train the hardest of any group.
Everyone is self-conscious is the gym during the initial stages, so avoid over analysing.
Your squat does not need to become perfect during your first training session, but we do want to continually process.
This is very general advice and is not personalised.
The main goal is to get a consistent intake and avoid skipping meals.
For those unfamiliar with hyperpalatable foods , you might like to read this article on Trigger Meals & Hyperpalatable Foods.
During a program, we seek to identify hyperpalatable foods and manage their intake.
Common hyperpalatable foods are biscuits, chocolate and lollies, nothing dissimilar to other client groups. However, frequently these foods are purchased for children but then consumed at by the adult when looking for a quick treat. For this reason, a replacement strategy often works better than complete avoidance.
The evening snack works particularly well for parents eating earlier in the evening (6:00-6:30pm) to feed children, but then going to bed later (11pm).
Depends on the individual. Most plans are quite flexible and therefore do not need dedicated breaks.
Chai lattes (up to 400kcal per serve) are a common calorie bomb that we may need to diffuse. Most people had no idea how much energy they contained, are happy to switch them up. If needed, we can bring in a substitute such as whey hot (chai latte flavour).
Intake is typically frequent low-volume (ie. two glasses, most nights). Cycling intake on/off works well by incorporating alcohol-free days, but is rarely the first change we make.
About 60% would be using a protein powder (mostly whey) a few times per week. Protein powder can be consumed post workout, as a quick snack or added to smoothies. Aside from that, supplements are very case-specific.
As the client advances and the emphasis moves from fat loss to muscle gain, we might consider creatine for the right goal and training phase. This has been used with great success in the past, and I maintain that creatine is an underrated/underused supplement for females.
Side note: the first magazine article I wrote was about nutritional supplements and published in Oxygen Magazine, where I mentioned creatine as a nutritional supplement for females.
We rarely use meal delivery services due to the need to feed an entire family. However, ingredient delivery services can be popular to save time and stress.
As most have older children, sleep tends to be unbroken but a little short. Working extra at night and watching TV with their partners are common reasons for getting to bed late. This would be a consideration that we keep in mind, particularly if training intensity begins to decrease, but this has never happened.
Middle-aged female clients are one of my favourites to work with. Typically they have been referred from friend, then have done their research into our services before they make contact. This means that upon making contact, they are committed, engaged and ready to go!
Most of these clients want to get a bit stronger, leaner and train effectively. Our role is to create a training and nutrition plan that is appropriate for their goals and experience, and then delivers results which feedback into the motivation to continue training.
The more we know about the client before they start, the better chance we can do exactly that!

Q: Zend framework on shared hosting I have a problem. I'm trying to deploy my zend framework app on a shared hosting. In local, with xampp was everything ok, but on shared hosting I received the following message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /application/public/index.php on line 40. The line 40 is: $application->bootstrap()->run();. Any idea?

A: The T_OBJECT_OPERATOR token refers to ->. See the List of Parser Tokens in the PHP Manual. What is the PHP version of the shared host? If it is still running PHP4, you wont be able to run ZF on it (and you should change hosting asap). If it is running PHP5, make sure it is PHP 5.2.4 (or higher) and please tell us which version of ZF you are using.
EDIT 2
The errors are usually logged to the server log. Since you are on a shared host you might not be able to look into it though. What you could do is find the hidden .htaccess file in your document root, e.g. the public folder of ZF and uncomment the directives inside line by line. If the error goes away, then you will likely know what is wrong. Could be mod_rewrite. You could also try to use apache_get_modules to find out which modules are enabled. But then again, are you sure it is an Apache?
EDIT 3
Not sure about how to get it working without mod_rewrite. Maybe this rather lenghty tutorial by Rob Allen will help to get it working. A much shorter option could be to simply set
$frontController->setBaseUrl('/path/to/app/index.php')

as was suggested in the ZF Forum

A: It's possibly due to different versions of PHP.  Maybe your shared host is running an old version.  On most systems, you can get the php version, by creating a page with this content:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

It's possible that your shared host will not allow the phpinfo function.  I'd suggest first comparing the versions of PHP your running, and possibly updating your question.

A: The error 500 could be caused by an error in your .htaccess file. Is mod_rewrite enabled?

ADGM and FAIC reinforce cooperation
The Registration Authority (RA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and the Federal Authority For Identity and Citizenship (FAIC) have signed a cooperation agreement in order to align efforts related to issuing golden visas in the UAE. The agreement aims to facilitate business operations and create an attractive investment environment for companies and entrepreneurs.
The cooperation agreement was signed by Brigadier Saeed Salem Al Shamsi, Executive Director of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Abu Dhabi and Mr. Dhaher bin Dhaher AlMheiri, CEO of the ADGM Registration Authority.
As part of the agreement, the Registration Authority will provide the necessary support to FIAC to issue golden visas via ADGM's e-portal. The new visa will include certain categories of investors, entrepreneurs, professional talent researchers and outstanding students. The visa issuing process will be in alignment with the terms and conditions specified in decree no. 56 from 2018.
The Registration Authority will possess exclusive rights in issuing golden visas in the capital Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Both the RA and FAIC will work collectively on achieving the highest level of system integration, enabling them to provide the best services.
Brigadier Saeed Salem Al Shamsi, Executive Director of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Abu Dhabi commended the cooperation agreement and said: "We are continuously working on establishing new partnerships with both public and private sector entities to maximise efficiency, support the sustainable development process and provide an ecosystem that retains professionals and talents who will pave the way to a better future. The decree issued by the UAE Cabinet regarding the regulation of residency permits aims to reinforce the country's position on the global investment map."
Dhaher bin Dhaher Al Mheiri, CEO of the Registration Authority of ADGM said: "We are pleased to sign this agreement with the Federal Authority For Identity and Citizenship. This comes as part of our efforts to promote the UAE and Abu Dhabi's position as a leading international investment destination, ensuring seamless and effective business operations. At ADGM, we always strive to collaborate with local and federal entities in line with the Abu Dhabi vision of achieving the highest level of government service integration. The new golden visa will surely contribute to the country's development process and in building a knowledge-based economy that includes talents and professionals from all around the world."

Buy long-distance train and bus tickets in advance, through services like The Trainline or Megabus.
Go clothes shopping in places that offer a student discount like Topshop and Miss Selfridge.
Go to your doctor or nurse for free condoms, and very often even your student union will have an unlimited supply in the welfare centre.
Buy a property and rent it out. If someone in your family has savings and is looking to make an investment, why not look into a buy-to-let mortgage in their name? You can then be in charge of renting our the rooms in the property in order to cover the mortgage. Who knows? This might even mean you can stay there rent-free!
Use comparison shopping websites to find the best deals. Kelkoo, Google Shopping and eBay will all help you find the item you want at the very best price.
Always say 'yes' to loyalty cards in shops. Shops like Tesco, Café Uno and even McDonalds have their own loyalty cards. Whenever you purchase, you earn points or get stamps. Carry your loyalty cards everywhere, and use them! Those 'buy five, get one free' offers soon add up!
Use pubs with great offers for your nights out. Some will offer 'pound a drink' nights on certain nights of the week.
Choose restaurants where you can Bring Your Own Booze. The restaurant mark-up on alcohol is shocking! You will save a fortune by buying your alcohol first, and drinking it in a BYOB establishment.

Sweet Road – Stage Whispers
Home » Sweet Road – Stage Whispers
Reviewed by Mark Wickett
Road trips through the Australian Outback aren't the likeliest of settings for a play, yet with Sweet Road, The Rep has created an interesting production that carries you way outside the city.
It's the intersection of at least five stories of human interaction (or dealing with the lack of it), each character experiencing their own grief, growth and opportunity, each of them on a journey both literal and metaphorical.
Jo (Cheryl Douglas) is excited about her husband's forthcoming birthday until she spots him kissing a younger woman from his workplace. She drives aimlessly through the night until she encounters a young lovesick hitchhiker, Yasmin (Sailor Tylor), trying to get to her holiday crush. Whilst Jo tries desperately to forget the image of her husband's betrayal, Yasmin is just as eager to recapture the electricity of her first kiss.
Elsewhere, another road trip unfolds with a young family travelling north in search of riches – or at least, a job and a school for their children. The parents, Andy and Carla (played by a twitchy Jackson Barnard and a fierce Gabi Douglas) interact differently with their invisible, yet easily imagined, kids and dog. Andy is an optimist, trusting everyone and having confidence that all will turn out well; Carla is anxious, resentful that she is the one who constantly underscores the boundaries – tested by her kids and husband.
The episodic narrative moves from one story to the next, Richard Parkhill's lighting guiding us around a stage set up with car seats and divided by a large highway. The set design by director Erik Strauts is convincing in conveying Outback road trips inside a city theatre, and simple projection (by Strauts and Britany Daws) establishes whether we are in the wilderness or at a service station.
Cheryl Douglas delivers the first half of her story through monologue – mostly directly to the audience, sometimes just to herself. Her careful balance between the trauma of loss and lies, and missing her partner of twelve years, is beautiful and heart-breaking. Later, when her path crosses another's, Douglas shows another dimension of Jo's character, softening to friendship.
Damien White is Michael, a lonely man traumatised by events that collapsed his world and White's well-paced delivery is appropriately quiet – perhaps too much so if we're straining to hear every word of his terrible shock. As with Douglas' Jo, his forced interaction with another character sparks something else, and retaining his quiet, shy demeanour, what's unsaid is just as intriguing.
Barnard offers an Andy that can't stop moving, can't stop seeing the good in people – even when it's not there. As with the others, he shows us much more when his character breaks and changes, questioning his whole life's attitude.
Gabi Douglas is always excellent, and her Carla combines anxious despair with a fierce protection of her family. For the most part, Carla is the complete opposite of Andy, but Douglas hints at her transformation through the chinks in Carla's armour in every scene, with subtlety and realism.
Josh van't Padje provides comic relief with a pair of two-dimensional foils: a mechanic trying to fix Andy and Carla's car, and Curtis, a random guy offered a lift by Andy later in the story. And from the rear of the stage, Malcolm Walton draws a widower, Frank, so cleverly, so believably, and when the narrative seems uncertain in its next step, it's Walton who drags it in the right direction.
Erik Strauts directs his ensemble cast well – it's clear who belongs in which story, and not just in the scene's staging. Debra Oswald is better known for her TV writing, and this story doesn't sound like it would work well on a stage, yet Strauts makes it look easy. Oswald's twists are somewhat predictable but she's clever in how she overlaps the narratives, and Strauts doesn't lose any momentum when this happens.
It's a strong performance from the ensemble, a good study of a broad cross-section of society dealing with grief, set amongst a uniquely Australian experience of the Outback road trip.

Pumpkin Races spark creative competition
by MC2 Amanda Dunford

LifeNewsCoupeville
Coupeville's Great Pumpkin Race was greater than ever this year, with more than twice the number of participants compared to 2015.
The race, now in its third year, took place Sunday and attracted 18 participants, up from seven the previous year. A crowd of about 50 assembled to watch and cheer on the competitors.
"We were pleasantly surprised," said organizer Vickie Chambers.
Of the seven 2015 competitors, five returned.
"We see a big pattern that people are coming back," Chambers said.
Zane Oldenstadt, a newcomer this year, snagged the championship title with his pumpkin Team Zane.
"I think it was really great that I won," said Zane, an 11-year-old Coupeville resident. "I wasn't expecting to."
His was one of the largest pumpkins of the pack, with an understated no-frills design he and his father worked on together.
The award for Most Innovative went to Eric Daieneault, whose pumpkin Pumpkin-Eater featured a working chainsaw.
Jordan Jones took the prize for Best Crash with her pumpkin Speedy Kiwi, a miniature gourd.
Gabe Butchart won Best Decorated with his pumpkin Punk-O'-Hauntas, which he embellished with turkey feathers.
"I appreciated the creativity and energy," Chambers said.
The race takes place at each year the Sunday before Halloween. All are welcome to participate. The only rule is to ensure the wheel axle goes through the pumpkin. Competitors should also come prepared with a gourd that's "ready to roll."
"I thought it was great fun," Chambers said.

To the Edition
In revision of this book we have tried to respond to constructive criticism from reviewers and students who have used the book and at the same time have pruned and grafted various sections where our own experience as teachers has prompted change. Not least, of course, science has moved on in the eight years since we prepared the first edition, so we have had to make some substantial changes to keep up with these developments, especially in the area of global change.
We have tried to retain the ethos of the first edition, using concise and clear examples of processes that emphasize the chemistry involved. We have also tried to highlight how the chemistry, processes or compounds interlink between the chapters and sections, so that no compartment of environmental science is viewed in isolation.
The substantial changes include more emphasis on organic chemistry, soils, contaminants in continental water and remediation of contaminated land. To do this effectively, the terrestrial environments chapter from the first edition has been split into two chapters dealing broadly with solids and water. We have reorganized the box structure of the book and have placed some of the original box material, augmented by new sections, to form a new chapter outlining some of the basic chemical principles that underpin most sections of the book.
Much of the new material has been prepared by Brian Reid, who, in 1999, joined us in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia. Brian has very much strengthened the organic chemistry dimension of the book and we are very pleased to welcome him to the team of authors.

European members of the World Union of Wholesale Markets (WUWM) met today at the Ministry of Agriculture to sign an unprecedented declaration that aims to strengthen collaboration between European markets to increase their visibility at the level of the European and international instances.
Markets are key players in the agri-food chain, they serve European politicians and citizens, but are often forgotten by European and international institutions compared to other food players (farmers, retailers, supermarkets). Yet, wholesale markets are one of the most important links in the U.E food supply chain (25 million tons of fresh produce, about 40% of the fruit and vegetable supply, 200 million European consumers). As a result, they ask to be heard in the debates and strategic orientations of the sector.

Smitheford Pharmaceuticals is facing other issues
Scenario: Smitheford Pharmaceuticals is facing other issues. The company had not kept up with modern manufacturing technology and was in the process of modernizing the injectable manufacturing facilities in Pueblo and Colorado Springs. There were several modernizing scenarios under analysis. Perform cost-benefit analysis calculations for 2 equipment scenarios. The data are provided below.
Scheduling the various manufacturing operations has become more complicated. In the 1990s, the Pueblo plant expanded tremendously, based on forecasts for the growth of a promising osteoporosis medication, Osto54. The facility doubled in size, mostly with tanks and processing equipment. Osto54, however, caused heightened enzyme levels in the liver and led to seven deaths in the elderly because of drug interactions. Smitheford faced the loss of millions of dollars in liability suits and had excess intermediate manufacturing capacity in Pueblo.
Two years ago, a new immune system treatment, Ultamyacin, was discovered by a Smitheford researcher. The drug could be manufactured at the Pueblo facility for the bulk manufacturing, but the final manufacturing steps could be made in Puerto Rico for final purification and then sent to Fort Collins for final manufacturing into sterile bottles for injection.
Smitheford leadership has narrowed the decision making down to 2 options. The first is a higher technology option in one location, and the other is a lower technology option in several locations.


As I mentioned in my last post detailing my entrepreneurial activities, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon just this last weekend, I took part in the USC Startup Weekend.
In the time span of 54 hours, we got the opportunity to pitch ideas, select a project to work on, and make a workable prototype. I ended up working with fellow MBAs Alfred Chung and Warren Wong on Alfred's idea for Site Unseen, a mobile app that dynamically generates walking tours based on the user's preferences and interests. The app also has an augmented reality component that helps tourists get their bearings in the event that they get lost.
I was supposed to update this more often than I have been, but when the workload begins piling on along with the incessant need to pay some modicum of lip service to networking and job search shenanigans, blogging takes a back seat to more important work. Hell, even my work over at my anime music website is on a higher priority, telling, especially when I've only been able to write one article in the last couple months (notwithstanding all that editing work I do when my writers submit articles or reviews).

Q: JsonNode with Array elements The node fields contain an array. Currently there is only one element, So I can use get(0) to get the first element and parse the string to find the value of the valid.
The problem with this solution is if tomorrow there will be more k:v added to the array, this will fail. Also can I use any elegant way to parse the value of valid?
  import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.{JsonNode, ObjectMapper}

  val response = """{"myTable":{"fields":["valid:true"]}}"""
  val mapper = new ObjectMapper()
  val node = mapper.readTree(response)
  val result = node.get("myTable").get("fields").get(0).toString.contains("valid:true")
  println(s"valid=$result")

result :
valid=true

A: You can iterate over array items using elements method. You just need to convert Iterator to Stream:
val fieldsValues = node.get("myTable").get("fields").elements()
val value = StreamSupport.stream(Spliterators.spliteratorUnknownSize(fieldsValues, 0), false)
  .filter(item => item.isTextual)
  .map[String]((item: JsonNode) => item.textValue())
  .map[Boolean]((item: String) => item.equals("valid:true"))
  .findAny()
  .orElse(false)

How Montanans voted, precinct by precinct
Record-breaking turnout colored much — but not all — of Montana red this year. As vote counting draws to a close, explore the results with our interactive map.
With more than 612,000 ballots cast and 81% turnout, this year's election ranked among the most-voted in Montana history. With the state's vote tallies officially certified by the Montana Board of Canvassers Nov. 30, here's how the vote broke down:
The state as a whole went for Republican candidates up and down the ballot, with voters delivering the Montana GOP the most sweeping victory a single party has received in the state in decades.
In the race for governor, more than 328,000 Montanans cast ballots for Republican candidate Greg Gianforte, handing him the governor's office 54% to 42%. President Donald Trump won the state by a 99,000-vote margin, receiving nearly 344,000 votes. Incumbent U.S. Sen. Steve Daines won more than 333,000 votes to earn re-election over a challenge from term-limited Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock.
Even so, hundreds of thousands of Montanans voted for Bullock and other Democratic candidates, including more than 244,000 who voted for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and more than 250,000 who voted for the Democratic candidate for governor, Mike Cooney.
Up and down the ballot, Democrats won majorities in precincts in and around some of Montana's urban centers: Missoula, Anaconda, Butte, Whitefish, Helena, Bozeman, Livingston, Red Lodge and parts of Billings. Democrats also came out ahead in rural precincts spanning the unincorporated resort town of Big Sky and tribal communities, winning swaths of the Flathead, Blackfeet, Rocky Boy's, Fort Belknap, Fort Peck, Crow and Northern Cheyenne reservations.
Republicans won pretty much the rest of the state, including the urban core of Kalispell and most of Montana's rural stretches, with particularly strong showings across eastern Montana. GOP victories in the governor and presidential contests included central Great Falls precincts that have tilted toward Democrats in the past.
Senate candidate Bullock did win several of those Great Falls precincts, as did Democratic superintendent of public instruction candidate Melissa Romano, making the city's urban core one of the few places in the state where enough voters split their ballots to push some Democrats to precinct-level wins.
How the vote broke down in Great Falls, one of the few parts of the state where enough 2020 voters split their ballots to send some Republicans and some Democrats to precinct-level victories.
Bullock and Cooney also picked up enough votes to win a single precinct in central Hamilton — by just 7 votes in Cooney's case. The rest of Ravalli County, where Hamilton is the county seat, voted red by wide margins.
See anything else interesting in these figures? Have a question about this year's election results that might be worth follow-up reporting? Tell us on social media or contact reporter Eric Dietrich at edietrich@montanafreepress.org.
Note: The preliminary vote count data initially used for this story had at least one error, a precinct in Wheatland County where 0 votes were reported for Gianforte (the governor-elect actually won 290 votes there, according to the county election administrator). This story has been updated with final certified precinct-level election results.

DC continued to tease and taunt fans with its covers – in particular the variant for this issue, which was initially posted in the DC Comics preview section as being the cover for #612 – causing much commotion amongst both those who loved the new costume and were afraid that DC were already jettisoning it, and those who loathed the new costume and were overjoyed that Diana would be back wearing her iconic outfit once more. But as it turned out neither camp were placated – with DC continuing it's master stroke of keeping fans on their toes with misdirection and deception tactics, together with cryptic clues as to what the future held for the much loved heroine.
As Diana slips into a coma after her savage beating, she reaches for the light in front of her but hears the voice of Doctor Psycho that she is not yet ready to pass over to the other side – at least not yet – not until she has seen things as they truly are – as he sees things – and as he sees her. She finds herself lying in a grassy meadow, as Psycho uses his skills to conjure the vision in her subconscious.
He holds out his hand and helps her to her feet. She asks him who he is and smiling awkwardly, he replies that it is complicated. "Let's just say I'm someone who knows you. The real you." As they continue to take a stroll through the beautiful landscape she asks if he is a guide to lead her from this life to the other. He responds that this is the "sticking point", because she keeps referring to this life as if it were the only one she could have possibly lead, when in fact there is so much more. He is a guide of sorts, but one whose powers allow him to make other people see what he wants…and to show them what exists only in their mind.
Taking her hand, he leads her over the rise of a hill to show a rocky mountain terrain. She asks where they are and he replies "The place of your birth." She shakes her head and states that she was born on Themyscira. Psycho in turn responds that this is indeed where she was born, long before Themyscira existed. They see a woman abandoning her baby only a few days old and Psycho continues to explain that Diana had been born to a powerful warrior and his graceful young bride. A station of privilege and honour had awaited her – had she not been born blind.
Diana replies that this is insane but Psycho explains that it is the way of this warlike people. Those who represented a burden were left to the fates. Diana assumes that this is perhaps how Hippolyta had found her but as they see an old woman pick up the baby she sees it is not the Amazon Queen. Psycho continues to show more visions as he explains how Diana, the baby, was taken back to a village of outcasts – each of them afflicted with some Physical frailty abhorrent to the supermen over the mountains. They did not perceive Diana's blindness as a curse and neither did she herself. When her adopted mother died in a raid by the male warriors she became leader and when those same warriors returned the next harvest Diana, and her army were waiting for them!
Diana holds her head in her hands, unable to comprehend all she is seeing and says that none of this can be true as she remembers one of it. He replies that it is simply because that is what her mind is telling her. Memories are like fire flies dancing in the mind. Memories never tell the truth. "Look without eyes and tell me…does this feel real?" "Yes" she replies.
The vision suddenly changes to an ocean, across which a sailing vessel makes its way. In this life Diana had been born to a captain amid the squalor of a slave ship. Her black mother was just one of the many captives stolen from their families and bound for the harem of a foreign warlord. Her mother had been a remarkable woman and had lead a rebellion against their captives and took the ship for her own. Rather than flee for safety she turned her fellow captives into her crew and made the vessel a weapon. Her guile was uncanny. She made war upon the warlord for years until eventually dying in battle with the old king himself, leaving her ship and her legacy to Diana.
Again, a totally confused Diana asks Psycho how this can also be her life as well as the other one he had shown her? "They can't both be true can they?" she states. Smiling, he replies "Ah! Now we're getting somewhere."
Again the visions changes once more and this time Diana sees herself as an African Princess, born to a warrior king who raised her as a son. But when she reached puberty and refused to marry she had been cast out of the tribe. She made use of her militaristic skills watching over the city, protecting it from slave trading scouts despite her exile. Eventually she even dared to
Diana tells Psycho that this tribes woman does not even remotely resemble her, but he says that she still thinks her crude body limits her eternal self. It is the nobility of her spirit that is the true line running through these lives, not the physical form. A perplexed Diana can barely take all this in as Psycho shows her one last life – perhaps the most absurd of all.
He reveals Themyscira and tells her that in this life she had not even been born naturally but had instead been formed of clay by Hippolyta. Raised on an island by a race of female Amazon warriors cloistered away from the outside world, she had been trained and educated to be a paragon of her culture. Until a man sought forbidden refuge on the island and she had come to his aid and followed him back to Man's World – to become a champion to all of humanity. "A Wonder".
Diana closes her eyes in frustration and cries that it cannot be! But Psycho continues that these lives were just a few of the many she has lived. Now she knows what he knows. No matter how far back he casts his awareness he encounters her essence. Every era somehow finds a way to create her. She seems to be essential to the structure of existence itself. "You were meant to be Diana." She replies "That's crazy" but he responds that it's only crazy if her perspective is limited to the physical world – his is not. In her world this knowledge makes him a mad man. A Psycho.
As the visions fade into blinding light around them she jokes that he is making her a Psycho too, but he says that she is merely disorientated by the sudden influx of truth. And truth brings fear. She has been cut off from her source. She feels it now doesn't she? The immortal force aligned against her have eroded her heritage, leaving her cornered in this one, bleak feeble present…so it can eliminate hope from existence once and for all.
Diana again holds her head in her hands, trying to process all she has seen and says that everything he has shown her has felt real – like memories she never knew she had. The dolls she had found at the temple and the drawing that Harry had made of her…thye were the edges of her memories pushing into her life. She then turns to face him and adds " But you. I don't remember you." How had he entered her mind? Why does he want her to remember these things so desperately? "Who are you really?" she asks. He stammers, unsure how to answer. "I can't. You'll be angry. I'm ugly, my body twisted…you'll push me away." She promises that she will not and if all the things he's shown about her are true then her word must be good for something.
"I was…I am your enemy" he replies sheepishly. "I don't see how that could possibly be true. Show me please." she replies. Reluctantly his form changes before her eyes into a grotesque dwarf. "There. That wasn't such a big deal was it?" she says smiling. "You do look familiar. What is your name?" He replies Doctor Pys…Edgar. My name is Edgar." She then asks him why her so called enemy would show her all these things and help her find her way? He replies so she can put things right and back to the way they were. "When we were enemies? Why would either of us want to do that?" she asks. Shedding a tear, he replies that he could then be part of her life again..and he close be to her once more. That's sweet" she smiles, "In a profoundly creepy way."
Kneeling down so she can look him in the face she adds that he did however help her and when this is all over she will try to remember that. He takes her hand again and leading her, he says that this is far as he can take her. He has arranged care of her physical body but as for matters of the spirit she will have to take it up with the Gods, pointing to what looks like a citadel in the distance. As she turns to head towards the structure he adds that he has one last thing to say to her. All her life she has been meant for greatness. It was her heritage, expected by her mother, her sisters, her fellow heroes and even those who merely dreamed of her. "I have witnessed the power of your adversary. Expectations will not be enough. It is not enough merely to become Wonder Woman. You must choose it. Create yourself."
As she makes her way to the foot of the citadel she can almost hear a chorus of voices saying the same thing. "Create yourself." Suddenly a wall of water thunders towards her, threatening to sweep her away. But she will not be halted, fighting her way through the torrent.
"You cannot drown in the flood when the waters defend your home."
She manages to clamber onto the rock face and as she climbs up the sheer face an avalanche of boulders threaten to bury her, but she again smashes her way through.
"You cannot be buried among the dead when your substance is the Earth itself."
Taking flight she heads towards the Citadel at the top of the rocky outcrop but violent winds attempt to blow her off course.
"You cannot be scattered by the winds when you ride the storm."
As she enters the Citadel, other ghostly images of many previous versions of Wonder Woman point the way as she walks towards a flaming cauldron. As she reaches into the flames she states " I choose this." A blinding light engulfs her..
"You cannot burn when the fire itself is your soul"
In the hospital ward a nurse suddenly sees Diana stir from her coma and she quickly calls for Doctor Etta Candy. "You won't believe this, but your patient, the trauma case from this morning…she's awake!".

Q: jQuery dropdown menu on click with clickable(on second click) parent I'm trying to create a simple navigation menu with dropdowns. I set 'data-dropdown' attribute to 'opened' or 'closed' with jQuery for late CSS use. I use 'Modernizr.touchevents' to decide on hover/click behaviour. Here's my code:
(function ($) {

    "use strict";

    var menu = $('.navbar .menu');

    // Return early if there's no menu
    if ( ! menu ) {
        return;
    }

    var dropdownLi = menu.find('.menu-item-has-children');
    var dropdownLink = menu.find('.menu-item-has-children > a');

    // Return early if there's no dropdown
    if ( ! dropdownLi ) {
        return;
    }

    // Set attr to all dropdowns by default
    dropdownLi.attr('data-dropdown', 'closed');

     // Use modernizr to decide on touch/hover behaviour
    if (Modernizr.touchevents) {

        dropdownLink.click(function(event) {

            // Set 'data-dropdown' attr to 'opened'
            $(this).parent().attr('data-dropdown', 'opened');

            // Set 'data-dropdown' attr on other submeus to 'closed'
            $(this).parent().siblings().attr('data-dropdown', 'closed');

            // Set 'data-dropdown' attr on other nested subenus to 'closed'
            $(this).parent().siblings().find('.menu-item-has-children').attr('data-dropdown', 'closed');

            // Prevent default click
            return false;
            // event.preventDefault();
            // event.stopImmediatePropagation();

        });

        // Close all menus on scroll
        $('.site-wrapper').scroll(function () {
            dropdownLi.attr('data-dropdown', 'closed');
        });

        // Close all dropdowns when clicked anywhere
        $(document).click(function () {
            dropdownLi.attr('data-dropdown', 'closed');
        });

    } else { // Now hover behaviour

        dropdownLi.each(function() {

            $(this).mouseenter(function () {
                $(this).attr('data-dropdown', 'opened');
            });

            $(this).mouseleave(function () {
                $(this).attr('data-dropdown', 'closed');
            });

        });

        // Prevent default click if there's just a `#` instead of a link
        dropdownLink.on('click', function(){
            if ( this.href.indexOf('#') != -1 ) {
                return false;
                // event.preventDefault();
                // event.stopImmediatePropagation();
            }
        });

    }

})(jQuery);

And now the problem. A 'dropdownLink' could have a valid href attribute ( not # ). In this case, I need it to act like it should on the second click. So, while on a touch device, the first click opens a dropdown, and second sends us to the URL.

A: If i'm understanding your issue correctly(it's a bit tricky without the HTML), you simply just need an extra check like so(i havn't verified it as i don't have your HTML):
...

dropdownLink.click(function(event) {

    if($(this).parent().attr('data-dropdown') != 'opened') {

          // Set 'data-dropdown' attr to 'opened'
          $(this).parent().attr('data-dropdown', 'opened');

...

So if the menu isn't opened it will do that and return false(thereby avoiding going to the URL) and then the second time it is being clicked the link will get handled...

She Stole, Then Lied About It
I'm Dr. Laura Schlessinger welcoming you to our YouTube channel. And our letter from Sheila:
"I want to know how best to handle a situation with my niece. She stole some makeup from me, then denied it. I called her parents and they found my missing makeup. They said she would return the things 'she helped herself to' at a public restaurant with her parents and my in-laws present.
She knows I would do most anything for her but she stole plain and simple from me. She also lied to me and I can't stand a liar. What can I say to make her think before she steals or thinks of stealing anything ever again?
I'm just as mad or madder at my sister-in-law for her reaction. If this had been my daughter, she would have been over at their house returning their things and apologizing immediately. I did not hear from them at all until the email about her 'helping herself' to my things."
Well, you know, I mean she did return them in full view of you, her own family, her grandmother... I don't know what else you would've wanted. I don't understand why you're still mad when they made her take responsibility. Maybe you need to have a private conversation with her saying, "You know what? ..." I mean, I remember having this conversation with my kid when he was very little (because all kids lie) and this is what I did with him - I picked him up at school. I had told him earlier, "We're going to stop by McDonald's [rolls eyes and says "I'm sorry"] and get French fries on the way home from school." [Says in excited voice to mimic Deryk's reaction as a child and does a little dance] "Oh! That's wonderful! I can't wait! We're going to do that! Yeah!" I picked him up from school and drove slowly right past McDonald's. And he said, "You didn't stop!" I said, "I lied." He started to cry (he was just a kiddo) and I said, "That's how I feel when you lie to me."
So you give that person sort of a taste of their own medicine because that's when they understand. I don't know how old your niece is. My kid was really a kiddo when I did this and it made a very big impression. I mean, there were fibs from time to time..."Did you do your homework?" [Looks around, rolling back head and not making eye contact] "Oh, yeah." But that's just kind of normal. Kids are always trying to get out of trouble or out of doing something they don't want to do. But this was outright theft and she brought it to her house. There's something [makes sweeping motion over face with flat hand, palm inward] strange about the fact that she stole something that could easily be identified. That has me concerned.
So I'd like you to sit with her privately and pull the maneuver like I pulled and explain to her that the essence of a relationship between two people is that we really can count on each other, and we know when we can't we are [takes hands from being close together and pulls them apart] separate and we will behave like that forever.
I'm Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Until next time here on our YouTube channel, go do the right thing.

Is print still trending or did digital flyers take over for good? We already know the answer, do you? Check out our top 3 reasons why you should include online flyers in your promotion.
Remember the days when flyers were finding their way straight to the garbage container as soon as they were handed to the customer. The 5 feet radius was overflowing with flyers and most of the time, they would end even on the ground. Those days are long gone. Think about it!
Did you recently look around while casually walking on the street? No containers filled all the way to the top with crumpled flyers. No more flyers laying on the ground like autumn leaves. Maybe you didn't realize it yet, but I challenge you to go out and do so. Now, why do you think that is?
Is it because people stopped using flyers at all or is it because all the "action" moved in the digital zone. I bet we all know the answer to that.
The time when flyers used to be the stars of political campaigns has dawned a long time ago. Meanwhile, the digital flyer era is rising at its best, and we're all witnessing it. Here are the top 3 most important reasons why you should be part of this too.
Using digital flyers can help you stand out. Whether it's either with the help of a clever copy, colorful design or even using a weird shape, online flyer designs can bring plenty of benefits to your campaign.
If you are worried about creating them yourself, you should know that online flyer creators will not only guide you step by step through the design process, but also offer inspiration as well. Moreover, a good flyer maker app usually offers digital flyer templates. Fully customizable and adaptable, these templates are the best solution if you lack inspiration or you are working under time pressure.
If you choose to add online flyers to your arsenal of promotional techniques that boost your sales, there are a few guidelines you have to keep in mind.
Don't limit yourself to what's "normal". After all, who defines what normality is? The Beatles were told that their sound is not original enough and Walt Disney got fired because he supposedly lacked imagination.
If this isn't the perfect example than I don't know what is. I'm not saying you should be Van Gogh, but you should definitely work on your originality. Be as creative as possible and gain the attention of your audience!
Trying to reach a wider audience has always been one of the biggest problems that traditional paper flyers are facing. Expensive and not targeted enough, paper flyers are hard to distribute, since not only there add the printing costs, but hiring people to actually hand them out on the street can be a little out of hand.
And because with that comes the necessity of checking your distributors out to see if they are doing their job, you are putting your business at risk. Depending on strangers is not fun. You are making an investment (via print and salary) and you are keeping your fingers crossed that your flyer will get to the people you actually want to target and not in the garbage.
And that's not all! Can you imagine your flyer design online, being seen by 10 people at the same time, in distinct countries and totally different parts of the world? You should absolutely take advantage of this!
Using a digital flyer maker could be a deal-maker when talking about reaching your audience. Not only you no longer have a limited number of copies, but there is also the chance that your online flyer will be shared by other people uncoacted. Original equals viral potential. Dare to be different!
The budget usually plays a very big role in any promotional process. We all want to spend the least amount of money while looking to obtain the biggest and best results. And even though you might be tempted to think that this not possible, we're here to tell you that it is!
Free flyer creators play a very important role in the cost efficiency department. Moreover, print (in general) is losing more and more ground regarding ad share. A study conducted by the Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) shows that digital publications and ads are performing better in 3 categories: engagement, memory of retrieval and grabbing the public's attention.
Besides, a digital flyer can be more than that! Adding coupons or direct links to your social media channels, website or a landing page can have a big impact on your popularity, brand awareness and even sales.
Adding to that, a flyer making app will automatically make you a warrior of the anti-climate change army. That will score some serious points for you in people's minds. Plus, no matter what, you always want nature by your side. Being eco-friendly will keep the karma off your back.
Winder audience, cost efficiency and the easiness of being remarked. If these aren't reasons enough for you to add digital flyers to your promotion process, than I don't which are. Even though flyers tend to be used mostly accompanied by a tempting offer, the new trends in digital flyer design dictate differently. Whatever you choose to use this awesome tool for, dare to be different.
And one last tip, always make sure a brand identifying element or your contact details appear in your design. Otherwise, your whole work will be in vain, and even if the flyer had a great impact, you'll think it didn't. Make sure you did all that is in your power for this tool to be used at its maximum capacity. You'll thank us later!
If you are still on the edge of going for it or not, just give it a little try and we promise you won't regret it.
You know what they say, once you go flyer, you never come back!

Gov. Andrew Cuomo to receive Emmy for daily COVID-19 briefings
khou.com 11/22/2020 14:27:29
ALBANY, N.Y.  New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is poised to receive the International Emmy Founders Award for his daily televised briefings on the state's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The award is given to those who the organization feels have united people across different walks of life.
The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced Friday the governor is being recognized for his leadership and keeping people calm throughout the world while informing them.
People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and 'New York tough' became a symbol of the determination to fight back,Academy President & CEO Bruce L. Paisner said in the release.
While his decisions as governor throughout the health crisis has had its fair share of criticism, many found his calm but confident demeanor and anecdotes  including some about the virus' impact on his own family  to be almost therapeutic.
In the time since the pandemic reached New York state, Cuomo had completed 111 daily briefings, which were broadcasted internationally and streamed online.
The Academy said his briefings drew in 59 million viewers in total, his final broadcast airing in June 19.
Previous honorees include Vice-President Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg.
The award show is scheduled for Nov. 23.


When you come for an appointment with one of our highly skilled ear, nose and throat consultants you'll start with a detailed consultation to address any concerns or symptoms you might have. And if you have treatment with us, you can rest assured that our specialised ENT team use the latest diagnostic and imaging technology to diagnose and manage all types of ENT conditions.
As well as treating the ear, nose and throat areas (including the ear and the outer, middle and inner ear) we can investigate head and neck disorders. If you need surgery, our world-class ENT surgeons can offer a range of treatments, including procedures that deal with the soft tissues of the head and neck region, including the thyroid and salivary glands. Whether the treatment you need is cosmetic, such as ear pinning surgery, or a procedure to treat a specific condition, you'll get the best with us.
We have the expertise needed to carry out advanced treatments for a range of ear, nose and throat conditions.
Tonsils are part of the immune system and help to protect the body against illness and bacteria. However, if you suffer from recurrent infections, persistent discomfort, sleep apnoea or other associated complaints, tonsil removal may be recommended.
If your child suffers from acute or chronic tonsillitis or other symptoms including sleep apnoea or glue ear, your consultant may recommend having your child's adenoids and tonsils removed. This combined procedure is commonly performed by our paediatric ear, nose and throat surgeons.
Adenoids are part of the immune system in children. They begin to shrink around the age of seven and usually disappear by adulthood. Adenoids can become inflamed due to frequent infections or allergies. They can cause uncomfortable symptoms for your child, such as breathing problems or ear infections.
Frenulums in the mouth are thin bands of tissue, usually at the underside of the tongue, which can sometimes make it difficult for your child to nurse, eat or speak properly. A quick procedure can release or remove this tissue.
Glue ear is a build-up of fluid behind the eardrum. This can make it hard to hear. It usually clears on its own but if it doesn't, it can impact your child's speech development or be a sign of more serious disease in adults. Grommets are tiny tubes that allow air to circulate in the middle ear.
A perforated eardrum is usually caused by infection. It can also be caused by sudden changes in air pressure, trauma, or sudden very loud noises. Usually it will heal on its own but if it won't, you may need surgery. The main reasons for surgery are repeated infections or hearing loss.
Our consultant ENT surgeons are dedicated to providing the very highest quality of care, whatever your condition.

Torso also features a tracheostomy to demonstrate a variety of care techniques.


This work presents a method of detection of size and location of tumor using ultrasound transmission. The system utilizes Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) which means sending an ultrasound signal from a transmitter and receiving it at multiple receivers. This received signal is analyzed for echogenic as well as echolucent tumors to differentiate between the two along with non-tumorous sample and also for delay, signal distortion to determine the size/location of the tumor.
This analysis is further implemented using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technologies. The proposed detection system utilizes Low Transient Pulse (LTP) technique. In this co-design architecture, the DSP carries out analysis of received demodulated signal at a lower speed while the FPGA runs at 62.5MHz for the generation of LTP signal and to demodulate bandpass ultrasonic signal sampled at 1MHz which interrupts DSP at every 1µS. This work elaborates the implementation of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) receiver on FPGA for received signal from ultrasound detector. LTP is applied to the tumor samples through the transmitter and the received signal at ultrasonic receiver is passed through QAM to get different maxima (peaks) which are then further used for calculation of the location and subsequently, the size of the tumor using DSP.
This dual platform co-design demonstrates application of a FPGA/DSP platform for the generation of low transient pulse as well as processing of the received signal.

DENR 'ALL HANDS ON DECK' FOR FIRST WEEKLY 'PEOPLE'S DAY'
It was all hands on deck at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) last Wednesday, as its top officials met with representatives of various people's organizations and civic groups to listen to all their concerns during the agency's first ever "People's Day" under the leadership of Secretary Gina Lopez.
Lopez, who had earlier designated every Wednesday as People's Day in the DENR, made sure that key officials of the department, including its attached agencies, were present so they could immediately respond to issues and concerns raised during the meeting.
The environment chief said she wanted all DENR officials to become more results-oriented and responsive to the people's needs.
"Everyone who comes here should return home armed with the spirit that something will be done in their areas so that they have a plan," Lopez said, addressing those who came to the DENR central office in Quezon City to bring forward their concerns about matters that are within the agency's mandate.
"I don't want [the DENR] to be just a regulatory arm, I want something done in your respective areas," she added.
During their meeting, the DENR executives and civil society members talked about issues like public land titling, reclamation, mining and reforestation, among others.
They also discussed possible livelihood opportunities the DENR could provide the public under its existing projects, notably the National Greening Program.
"We want this People's Day to become a people's arm so you have access to DENR. It is important that whatever your concerns are, we can find a solution," Lopez told members of people's organizations and the civil society.
Lopez, meanwhile, directed all DENR officials present to make sure that they took note of all the issues and concerns brought before them and that appropriate action will be taken.
Aside from top officials like undersecretaries and assistant secretaries, officers of different bureaus under the DENR were also present during the meeting.
Lopez said the holding of People's Day is one way of bringing the DENR and its programs closer to people. It likewise serves as a tool to improve transparency, efficiency and effectiveness in the DENR as the agency also get the public's input on matters affecting them, she added. ###

Brian has studied Photography & Graphic arts at Ryerson College in Torornto, spending time in Alaska, the Yukon & eventually making his home in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island.
After retiring from commercial fishing, he has been able to devote himself to Wood turning fulltime.
Through his many skills and talents, along with a unique creative flair, Brian has opened new doors as a flourishing artist.
Brian especially enjoys working with West Coast burls: red cedar, cypress, maple & hemlock, which all show beautiful colour and grain patterns. The wood Brian uses has been taken from the forests of Vancouver Island over the last 40 years. This diminishing & precious resource should be treated with respect, as he believes these burls are becoming an endangered species. Brian's art is owned by collector's internationally who share his love affair with wood.
At 10 years of age, Nancy's youthful dreams were expressed with a simple block of wood & a utility Knife. This hobby blossomed into reality when Nancy moved to the West coast in 1973. Working as an RN in Vancouver, she sought a piece of BC Jade to carve. Needless to say, she traded her nursing cap for a grinding wheel.
In the mid eighties, Nancy branched out into using Soapstone, and Alabaster. These softer rocks lend themselves to Nancy's graceful & flowing forms. Nancy not only does abstract, figurative, stylized bird & animal pieces, she also collaborates with her husband Brian, to create Wall Sculptures.
Working in Clay Corry creates Raku, sawdust fires & burnished sculptures, bowls, murals, and plaques. Corry combines textures in a variety of ways using the realistic forms of our local animals & birds. These unique wall hangings use clay as the basis of her mosaics. many pieces of her work are found complimenting gardens: especially when collaborating with her partner Darrel, who uses Vancouver Island Driftwood and sandblasted stone to frame and accent her clay works.
Living in and around the coastal forests of Vancouver Island throughout his lifetime has enabled Courtney to find and use a variety of amazing woods in his Old Growth Vessels and Masks. Beginning with lathe work he has progressed to free hand carving. The free hand vessels and masks are very exciting to Courtney, allowing him to explore the wood's natural colours and textures, enabling the wood itself to guide him in his creations. Courtney's wood work has found loving homes in Cnada, the USA, Europe and Australia.
Frank Armich was born on Vancouver Island. As a young apprentice in his fathers' business producing burl wood furniture, and clocks, Frank quickly developed a keen attraction to the inherent beauty of local woods: Birds Eye Maple, Red & Yellow Cedar, Hemlock and Fir.
Today he creates by hand, an extensive line of artistic sculptures such a s mirrors, mystical trees, bowls and wall pieces out of these same woods. Frank also uses a variety of roots to create one of a kind chairs, tables and lamps, and even houses built out of driftwood.
Frank has exhibited his work across Vancouver Island, and throughout North America.
John started carving as a hobby in the early 90's. Taking all kinds of lessons from fellow carvers, jewelry makers, and sculptors, he developed a definite style of his own.
John has competed in a number of carving competitions from Manitoba to British Columbia, and won ribbons in all of them.He also does a bit of glass etching, jewelry making and teaches carving classes.
John has carvings in collections in seven countries: China, Belize, Honduras, Portugal, Germany, USA, and Canada. Carving for John is a creative pass time, and hobby that has gone a little crazy.
John uses many local woods & burls, by themselves, or combined with carved Moose Antler in standing pieces.


Fresh out of a class that covered use cases as part of its syllabus, I read this book for a deeper understanding. I found inconsistencies between the Use Case diagrams that I studied and those in this book. Read the other review on Amazon's website for more--I found that I wasn't alone in my confusion.
Formerly known as Caro's Book of Tells, this is a Cardoza Publishing print of the original book. Stage-by-stage photos for the tells and profitability/accuracy of reading tells are included for each tell. Photos are from the original book (1970's?), but the descriptions and "Caro's Laws of Tells" are very useful. Over 300 pages, but at least 50% of the content contains photos or MCU Poker Charts.


Let's face it: Windows can be seriously annoying sometimes, but thankfully there's also usually a workaround or third-party utility that fixes the issue. We've rounded up the ten things that annoy us most, along with how to fix them.
Note: this article was originally published a year ago, but we figured we'd add some more annoyances to the list and feature it again.
Thankfully cleaning them up is possible, though it will require you rolling up your sleeves a bit. We've got the entire process covered, from the registry hack method to using freeware tools to do the job.
If you like to keep your applications open and running on your screen, you've probably come back to your PC and noticed that Windows Update had rebooted you, losing everything that was open on your screen. Sure, you can temporarily disable the automatic reboot if you happen to be sitting in front of the PC, but what happens when you were away when it popped up?
That's not the only annoyance, but you can stop Windows Update from hijacking the sleep button if you need to.
The default Windows settings enable this click click click click sound for anytime you are browsing around the filesystem, and the same thing in Internet Explorer when you click on a link. It's extremely annoying, but the fix is a simple one.
Nobody wants to admit it, but unless you encrypt your files, using a password on your PC won't stop any tech-savvy person from getting into your data—all you have to do is use the System Rescue CD to change the password, or you can even use an Ubuntu Live CD to access files off a Windows PC.
So if you're tired of logging into your Windows PC, just make it login automatically instead.
The Caps Lock Key is something that most people will probably never need. Sure, you can always Map Any Key to Any Key and turn it into something more useful, like a Ctrl key for that Lenovo notebook with the awkwardly placed Fn key, or you can just disable it outright. Either way, up to you.
About half of the people reading this article in Internet Explorer will be scratching their head right now and thinking… "what?" The other half using Firefox or Chrome will be thrilled that you can now delete Internet Explorer in Windows 7. It's easy.
It's great that Microsoft builds in accessibility features to help those that need it. For the rest of us, they are really irritating and need to be disabled.
All the new Aero features in Windows 7 are absolutely great, and I recommend that you learn how to use them.
But… if you are tired of windows snapping to the side of the screen or everything else minimizing when you move a window around, you can easily disable one or all of the features.
This dialog can be seriously annoying when you are trying to install software—it pops up asking if you really installed the application correctly, even though 99% of the time the application installed just fine. It's extremely annoying, but we can disable it.
If you've had a problem where the taskbar just refuses to auto-hide even though you have the option enabled, you can read through this list of tips for some solutions to help fix the problem.
If you've got loads of files on your PC, you'll find that the Windows 7 Start Menu search box starts returning results a lot slower than you'd like. Here's how to speed it up.
If you've ever used the New menu from the Windows context menu, you've probably noticed that it's not always as fast as it could be. Here's how to make it faster by cleaning it up.
What Windows annoyance list would be complete without a way to disable those irritating User Account Control popup dialogs? There's really no need to describe it, you already know how annoying they are.
Disabling them is just as easy, but what you might not know is that you can actually create shortcuts that bypass the UAC prompts instead of just disabling it entirely, though either way is up to you.
