Top 10 Greatest Scientists
Recommended book – 100 Scientists Who Shaped World History at Amazon.
The story of chemists, physicists, biologists and remarkable scientists who increased our grasp of almost everything around us.
A list of the top 10 scientists of all time with short profiles on their most significant achievements.
1. Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1726) Newton was a polymath who made investigations into a whole range of subjects including mathematics, optics, physics, and astronomy. In his Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, he laid the foundations for classical mechanics, explaining the law of gravity and the laws of motion.
2. Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) Pasteur contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies, anthrax and other infectious diseases. Also invented the process of pasteurisation to make milk safer to drink. He probably saved more lives than any other person.
3. Galileo (1564–1642) Creating one of the first modern telescopes, Galileo revolutionised our understanding of the world, successfully proving the Earth revolves around the Sun and not the other way around. His work Two New Sciences laid the groundwork for the science of Kinetics and strength of materials.
4. Marie Curie (1867–1934) Polish physicist and chemist. Discovered radiation and helped to apply it in the field of X-ray. She won the Nobel Prize in both Chemistry and Physics.
5. Albert Einstein (1879–1955) Revolutionised modern physics with his general theory of relativity. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1921) for his discovery of the Photoelectric effect, which formed the basis of Quantum Theory.
6. Charles Darwin (1809–1882) Darwin developed his theory of evolution against a backdrop of disbelief and scepticism. He collected evidence over 20 years and published his conclusions in On the Origin of Species (1859).
7. Otto Hahn (1879–1968) Hahn was a German chemist who discovered nuclear fission (1939). He was a pioneering scientist in the field of radiochemistry and discovered radioactive elements and nuclear isomerism (1921). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944.
8. Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) Tesla worked on electromagnetism and AC current. He is credited with many patents from electricity to radio transmission and played a key role in the development of modern electricity.
9. James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) Maxwell made great strides in understanding electromagnetism. His research in electricity and kinetics laid the foundation for quantum physics. Einstein said of Maxwell, "The work of James Clerk Maxwell changed the world forever."
10. Aristotle
(384 BCE–322 BCE) A great early Greek scientist who made many types of research in the natural sciences including botany, zoology, physics, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology and geometry.

Planning a trip to a national park? Score a free entrance if you head to the park on one of the National Park Service's five free entrance days in 2019. The fee-free days also apply to national monuments like Muir Woods.
If you have a big family or have your eye on a pricier national park (some entrance fees range as high as $35 per vehicle, and some park fees will rise in both 2019 and 2020), these free days can make your visit more affordable than ever. However, they're also days that the parks will be much more popular, so you might want to consider the crowds when choosing your adventure.
Free entrance entails a waiver for entrance fee costs; amenity or user fees for activities like camping, boating launches, or special tours are not covered.
Not sure which national park to visit in 2019? Check out our national park guides for inspiration, day trip ideas, and glimpses of the most jaw-dropping views throughout the parks.

Posted November 26th, 2018 .
Sometimes when divorce issues are contested, couples will attend a mediation in order to try to reach an agreement. If mediation fails, the case may need to be heard before a judge, who will be the ultimate decision-maker about all issues in a divorce. Another option is to hold a settlement conference with both parties and both attorneys to work out settlement details.
As mentioned above, an uncontested divorce is a much simpler type of divorce, mitigating the expenses of divorce litigation and conflict. In an uncontested divorce, both parties are in agreement about how issues in a divorce should be settled, therefore eliminating the need for mediation, negotiations, and litigation. An uncontested divorce is generally resolved much quicker than is a contested divorce, too.
The good news is that even if your divorce is contested to begin with, reaching a settlement without litigation is very possible. It is normal for individuals to have preferences and strong emotions regarding a divorce settlement; however, when both parties recognize that working together to resolve disagreements will ultimately be more beneficial for everyone, uncontested divorce is possible. At the law offices of Fay, Farrow & Associates, P.C., our divorce attorneys can represent you in conversations with your spouse, help you negotiate for a fair divorce settlement, and advise you regarding issues on which you should compromise (and on what a fair compromise looks like).
If you have children, avoiding litigation is especially important, as a contentious divorce can have a lasting impact on a child.
If you and your spouse are in agreement about getting a divorce and the terms of your divorce, our lawyers can guide you through the process of uncontested divorce today to help you finalize your divorce as soon as possible. If your divorce is contested, we can assist you in navigating reaching an agreement with your spouse or exploring other options, including litigation.
We know divorce can be tough – you don't have to go through it alone. Call our Naperville, Illinois divorce lawyers today for a free consultation about your divorce case.


Micromax Informatics, the home-grown smartphone manufacturer today announced a partnership with Uber – the ubiquitous ride-sharing app. This collaboration allows Micromax to integrate the Uber app into its Around-Steroid launcher thereby by providing a native experience to all its users. The company will also factory load the app in close to 100 million Micromax smartphones.
Micromax users will be able to link their Uber accounts and book rides without having the need to install the ride-hailing app separately. Also, users can get the ETA and fare estimates for their respective rides as they'd get otherwise.
For those who are not aware, Micromax launched the 'Around' services with Yu Tele-ventures — a Micromax subsidiary in 2015. This service collects information from various apps in different categories and provides all of it in one place.
Commenting on the strategic partnership, Mr. Rahul Sharma, Co-Founder, Micromax Informatics said, "Mobile is increasingly becoming the 24×7 companion for a user and the native experience combined with host of services are driving that trend. In the recent days, Indian economy has witnessed mobile playing a vital role right from digi-payments to travel to music to social engagement. We are committed to bring services and partners that are valued by our consumers and UBER is a testimony to that. This partnership will help UBER unlock growth across the huge user base of Micromax in India and also help our consumers get the best in class experience from the leaders in ride sharing. Our focus, going forward, will be on building native experiences that will bring alive a connected ecosystem".
Another crapware/ blotware in Micromax mobile. That's why I hate it.
Did you check other phone's bloatwares? You should hate those also.
This is a way of increasing profit of all companies.
At present I am using RN3 which have no bloatwares. Check yourself if you have doubt.


The Full Moon is Friday April 19. Mars is visible low in the evening skies and is close to the Hades cluster. Jupiter is low in the late evening skies and is visited by the Moon on the 23rd. The morning skies feature four bright planets Jupiter, Saturn, bright Venus and Mercury. Saturn enters the evening sky and is occulted by the Moon as seen from eastern and parts of central Australia on the 25th.
The Full Moon is Friday April 19.
Morning sky on Saturday, April 20 showing the whole sky as seen from Adelaide at 5:47 ACST (60 minutes before sunrise). Four bright planets can be seen. Jupiter and Saturn are high above the northern horizon. Venus and Mercury are above the eastern horizon. The Moon is above the northern horizon.
Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time (60 minutes before sunrise).
Sky at 23:00 ACST on Saturday, April 20 looking east as seen from Adelaide. Jupiter is low above the eastern horizon. The left upper insert inset shows the telescopic view of Jupiter at this time. The Moon is a finger-width from Jupiter. Io's shadow is on the surface of Jupiter, and Io will shortly transit Jupiter itself.
Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time.
The view of the Moon facing east at 22:48 am ACST in Adelaide on Thursday 25 April just as Saturn appears from behind the Moon. The moon is close to the horizon.
Similar views will be seen elsewhere in eastern Australia at roughly the equivalent local time, detailed times and observation hints are at my Saturn occultation page.
The Hyades also grace the north-western sky. Mars is close to the Hyades and the bright red star Aldebaran.
Venus is bright in the morning skies below Jupiter and Saturn and above Mercury. Mercury away from Venus over the week.
Mercury is now sinking in the morning sky but is still visible below Venus as it leaves Venus behind.
Jupiter Jupiter is now rising just before midnight in the evening sky, but is low to the horizon and not a good telescope target until the morning. Jupiter is close to the Moon on the 23rd.
Mars moves through Taurus and is the brightest object in low in the western evening sky. Mars sets around 7:30pm. Mars is close to the Hyades and the bright red star Aldebaran, heading towards the horns of the Bull.
Saturn is climbs higher in the morning sky. It is in an excellent position for telescopic viewing in the early morning. By mid week it has entered the evening sky, on the 25th the Moon occults Saturn as seen from eastern and parts of central Australia.
The Moon, although low above the eastern horizon, is a very obvious signpost for where to look but for most locations Saturn is behind the Moon as it rises (or the pair are very close to the horizon just before the occultation starts). Adelaide, Townsville and Rockhampton all have the Moon very close to the horizon, so you will need an unobstructed eastern horizon to see the occulation.
Start watching about half an hour beforehand to get set up and familiar with the sky. Saturn will appear from behind the dark limb of the Moon while still low above the horizon, so will be a difficult telescopic target. Reappearance will be hard to see as you have to be looking just at the right moment.
More cities in Australia and New Zealand cities can be found at the IOTA site (UT times only).
Although this can be viewed with the unaided eye, it is better viewed with binoculars or a telescope. Unfortunately, the occultation is low to the horizon in many places, so large telescopes may not be able to point that low. You sill will be able to enjoy it.

I know you have been hanging out for this, so here are my shots of the almost perigee (sort of "super") moon of 21 March, and compared them to the shots from the 20 February perigee Moon. There is a subtle difference between the 21 March and the 28 July apogee Moon of 2018, unlike the more obvious difference between 20 February. and 28 July. You can see the comparison with the 21 January preigee Moon here.
The 20 February Full Moon was 6 hours from perigee, while the March 21 one was 29 hours from perigee (an the 21 January one 14 hours from Perigee). I also have included a comparison between 20 March (1 day before full Moon and closer to perigee) and the 21st March full Moon.
I have also included a comparison between the 20February 28 July perigee/apogee pair and the stellarium prediction.
Now to wait for the September 13 Apogee Moon.

Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh and Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak discussed potential further regulations in oil production under the deal reached between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC producers, a report said.
At a working meeting in Moscow on Monday, Zangeneh and Novak discussed the situation in the world oil market, the Russian Energy Ministry said, according to Xinhua.
Noting the world's growing energy demand, the ministers touched upon the possibility of further regulating production under the OPEC and non-OPEC agreement to "prevent overheating of the oil market."
"Having increased production by 1 million barrels per day by joint efforts, we hope to stabilize the market and show ourselves as responsible players creating stable and predictable rules in the oil sector in the interests of all -- producers, consumers and investors," Novak said.
In June, OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers decided to stick to 100 percent conformity of predetermined oil production cap, thus allowing an increase of oil production as the deal participants have reduced the output more than required in the past months.
Zangeneh and Novak also discussed cooperation between the two countries in fuel and other energy sectors.
Novak underlined that constant contacts between Russia and Iran contribute to strengthening their bilateral cooperation in a whole range of trade and economic relations, including the energy sector.


In the world of movie, watches are absolutely existence that can not be ignored. Even now, the advertising industry has been developed, we still have to admit, when the actors wear a watch that full of style and appeared in the Hollywood blockbusters, that certainly can make you feel amazing and extraordinary. Now, I will take you to ride on the time machine in the movie, exploring each plot and life behind the watches.
As one of the most familiar watch brand, Rolex replica watches also left the indelible mark in the movie history. The famous 007 series, Rolex fake watches are chosen from the beginning. Although the writer of 007, Ian Fleming, had described that James Bond using the delicate fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch as your Secret weapon in the novel On Her Majesty 's Secret Service, in 1963, on October 21, 1954, CBS broadcast the fifty minutes long black and white television film Casino Royale, James Bond had worn the ROLEX SUBMARINER which was just launched, not Oyster Pepetual. The TV film Casino Royale can be said as the first appearance for the 007 agents.
In another spy film that released in 2012, The Bourne Legacy 4, the gold bezel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona replica watches which adopted the gold material had again became one of the details of twists and turns. The same experience of life and death to escapement and penniless agent, Bourne and his girlfriend, grabbed a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch from the hand of the mob, then suddenly the lens turned, the valuable Rolex watch was worn on the wrist of the owners of driving smuggled cargo ship. The elaborate clip picture that cleverly explained that Bourne and his girlfriend has been successfully resolve the crisis.

The Power of Independent Thinking
The Glass Is Half Full
By Alvaro Vargas Llosa
MONTERREY, Mexico—Is global capitalism making the poor even poorer, or is it in fact rescuing millions of people out of their misery?
I recently had the chance to participate in a series of debates here about this issue organized by Foreign Policy magazine and Letras Libres, a Mexican cultural publication. Nothing I heard at that meeting changed my conviction that the glass is half-full despite the doomsayers who predict horrific calamities.
Ever since the Industrial Revolution, poverty has been significantly reduced throughout the world. Two hundred years ago, the average income per person worldwide was the equivalent of less than $2 a day; the figure is $17 today. This fact is relevant to the current discussion on globalization because, even though the information technology revolution, biotechnology, the emergence of new world players and outsourcing may give us the impression that we are in the midst of something entirely new, we are simply witnessing a new phase in the process of innovation that is the market economy—and this began a few hundred years ago.
The fact that 20 percent of the world's population is extremely poor should not make us forget that millions of lives have improved dramatically in the last three decades. Illiteracy has dropped from 44 percent to 18 percent, and only three countries out of a total of 102 included in the U.N.'s Human Development Index have seen their socioeconomic conditions deteriorate. China's economy used to represent one-26th of the average economy of the countries that comprise the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; today it represents one-sixth.
These are not arcane facts. They are widely available and easy to understand. Publications such as Indur Goklany's "The Improving State of the World," David Dollar and Aart Kraay's report on the global economy, and Francois Bourguignon and Christian Morrisson's "Inequality Among World Citizens"—to mention but three among many recent studies—provide overwhelming evidence that the world is better off thanks to the increased flow of capital, goods, services and ideas.
All of which falls on the face of those who predict that in the next few years we will see a massive concentration of wealth among a few winners who will leave millions of losers behind. While it is probably true that the gap between low-skilled workers and those who are better educated will mean that different people will be impacted in very different ways by the continuing evolution of the global economy, the reality is that even those on the bottom rungs stand to benefit from the worldwide embrace of globalization.
Poverty was the natural condition of all of humanity until the market economy opened up the possibility of ever-increasing productivity. By 2030, it is estimated that the average wealth of developing countries will be equivalent to that of the Czech Republic today ($22,000 per person). The World Bank's recent "Global Economic Prospects" report goes as far as to say that Mexico, Turkey and China will equal Spain's current state of development, which is high.
At the recent meeting in Monterrey, those who were trying to justify their phobia against globalization pointed to Cuba and Venezuela as paradigms of development, and to Mexico's poor in claiming that increased trade—through the North American Free Trade Agreement—shortchanges the masses.
In 1953, Cuba's wealth was comparable to that of the state of Mississippi; today, the island's exports total one-third of the sales of Bacardi rum products, the economic icon of the Cuban exile community. Venezuela's economic system is a classic case of state capitalism based on oil—exactly what made that nation's per-capita income go from representing the equivalent of two-thirds of that of the United States in the 1950s to representing barely 15 percent today. And Mexico's slums are not a factor of that country's increased trade with its North American neighbors, which has quadrupled in the last 15 years, but of the slow pace of reform.
The world was not rich and suddenly turned poor. The progress of the market economy that began to free the world of its shackles continues at an even faster pace today despite the many restrictions still faced by the people who create wealth and exchange it, and despite the fears that these momentous times understandably inspire in those who have difficulty adapting. What a heartening thought.

I see this as a project for the humanities. I'll give it a try.
Half of what matters in the world is living creatures.
Limited life span-- Some kinds of living creatures live for just a few minutes, others for thousands of years, but each has to have parents that give it life, and each eventually dies.
Made of cells--Each living creatures consist of extremely small cells. Some creatures consist of only one cell but those large enough for us to see consist of many cells. Our bodies consist of a trillion cells. Different parts of living creatures, like our blood and our skin, are made up of different kinds of cells.
Defined by genomes—each cell of a living creature contains a copy of a tape of code that says what kind of creature it is, that makes it grow to become part of a particular species of creature. That tape of code is called the genome. Each creature inherits its genomes from its parents. Cells of different kinds in a living creature result from different parts of the genome being active.
Kinds of living creatures—living creatures divide first into animals, like us, and plants. Then, animals and plants divide up into different kinds, until you get down to species. Species consist of populations of individuals that reproduce together, sharing their genomes, keeping them similar enough to stay distinct from other species.
What makes us special--We're a special kind of animal because we're conscious of ourselves and we can talk to each other about what we're conscious of. Just by consciously wanting to we can be creative and arrive at decisions. For each kind of creature its genome specifies what colors it can see, what feelings it can experience, how it will sense and respond to things. That's why we see in particular colors, and have particular kinds of feelings.
The other half of what matters in the world is what's not living creatures.
Energy—One aspect of what's not living creatures is energy, what makes things happen. It takes a variety of forms, such as heat, light, electrical, chemical, that can change into one another. Lightning is electrical energy passing through air. As it goes it heats air hot enough to glow brightly. And by making different kinds of air combine chemically it makes fertilizer plants can use to grow.
Matter, physical stuff—"Earth," water, air. "Earth" is a combination of soil, that plants can send their roots into, and rocks or solids. Water flows when it's liquid but can be frozen to a solid and boiled to become part of air. The air we breathe is a mix of different kinds. Oxygen, that makes up one fifth of air, is a good source of energy. It can help wood and candles burn to make heat and light, and living creatures use it to generate electrical and chemical energy.
Exception 1, Living creatures-- the bodies of living creatures consist of energy and matter, but they relate together very differently when they're under the control of genomes in living creatures.
Exception 2, manufacture—our homes and cities look very different from what's natural because we've learned how to use energy to give matter new properties. What I referred to as "Earth" and air turn out to consist of different kinds of materials you don't come across otherwise, that can be separated and recombined to make new kinds of matter, such as glass and metals.
Atoms—in a basic natural philosophy I don't see a need to mention atoms, or that electricity comes in positive and negative forms. Those are accidents-of-history-of-science concepts. I think one can go several stages further before needing to involve them.
Genome--Curiously, I do have to imply existence of an atomic scale when I describe what's distinctive about living creatures: genomes, and how there's one per living cell. But for me that's has become essential background to any further study of life.
Elements—That matter comes in the form of separate elements is extremely fundamental, but I don't think it can add much to a basic natural philosophy. Cannot the growth process in trees, for example, be detailed without mentioning specific elements? I do think elements should be referred to, but perhaps only as an aside as I do above in the context of technology.
Human exceptionalism—I think a humanities' account-of-everything should give human conscious experience at least as much prominence as things in the world. I felt I had to introduce life and genomes first because I think consciousness can be understood only in terms of operations upon a platform our genomes construct for us, responsible for the particular colors we see, the range of sounds we can hear, 3D vision and location of sounds in space, particular emotions, degree of rationality, awareness of time, language capacity and so on. Should human conscious experience be made a third part of what matters in the world, alongside life and matter? I didn't, because I couldn't think of what else to say.
Evolution—I omitted this because I feel description of properties of the genome can stand in for knowing how living creatures originated. In fact, little is known for certain about that process, particularly how it began which is really important to an understanding of the process. So I omit it from a basic natural philosophy.


While healthcare is an essential industry across the United States, it is particularly important in rural states like North Carolina. Here, patients often struggle to get the care they need. When care is available, they may have difficulty affording it and getting to clinics if they live in remote areas. That's why healthcare management is such an important field.
Healthcare administrators use their knowledge of healthcare finance, policy, and law to make care more accessible to communities and to ensure that care is sustainable for facilities and patients.
Have you ever considered earning a technical or graduate certificate in healthcare administration in North Carolina? If so, take the first step now.
Use the list of schools on this page to contact N. Carolina health policy and management degrees in your area.
Without a doubt, education is an essential part of any healthcare career. If you want to go into patient care, you need to understand basic anatomy, care procedures, and healthcare ethics. If you want to go into administration, you should know how to navigate healthcare finance, bill insurance, lead staff, and uphold standards during slow and busy periods.
Where do you get the training you need? For many students, it all starts with an executive Master of healthcare administration in NC or a certificate. There are two types of certificates you may encounter as you explore schooling options in North Carolina: technical certificates and graduate certificates.
Technical certificates are optimal for students who haven't yet had the chance to earn a Bachelor's degree. These options are generally much shorter than Bachelor's programs and Associate's degree programs, so they are convenient for students who need to start working as quickly as possible.
One option you may find at the technical certificate level is a patient care technician certificate. In these programs, you learn how to provide care to patients under the supervision of a doctor or nurse. These North Carolina programs are longer than some other certificate options, often requiring roughly one year of full-time study. However, this is still much shorter than an Associate's degree or Bachelor's degree. By the time you graduate, you may be comfortable working with patients, taking directions from nurses and physicians, and following evidence-based care standards.
Another type of technical certificate you may encounter during your search is a health information management certificate. Health information technology is a major area of growth in this industry. As technology has made it easier for professionals to store healthcare data on accessible servers, hackers have found ways to get into these databases and access information without authorization.
Now, facilities need highly-trained medical informatics professionals who can safely store information and protect it. In this type of certificate, you may study different programs used for storage, encoding methods, and network security.
If you know you want to pursue a management or administration career after graduation, consider earning a graduate certificate in health leadership. This type of certificate is designed to be finished in one or two semesters. It takes your previous experience in healthcare or related fields and uses it to help you develop your leadership skills and management techniques. If you want more specialized experience in healthcare leadership, you may want to earn an assisted living administrator certificate in North Carolina.
You may hone your knowledge of public health while exploring the different considerations that leaders may have to take into account. Some schools require that you have previous healthcare experience before you can start this type of program, while others offer relevant experience in the form of an internship or practicum course.
How can you take the next step in your healthcare career and build a skill set that makes you a valuable employee?
Don't wait any longer to explore your options now; contact health management programs today to request more information.
As a North Carolina healthcare administration graduate, you should be excited about the opportunity you have to improve healthcare for the people in your community. As you get close to graduation, start looking into local job openings and positions to find out where you may work, what requirements employers have, and how you can amp up your application to make yourself a better applicant.
You may need entry-level experience in healthcare if you haven't ever worked in this industry before. One convenient way to get your foot in the door is pursuing a patient representative position. Patient representatives are often the first line of contact for patients during scheduling, check in, check out, and any subsequent issues that may arise.
In North Carolina, the average salary for a patient representative in North Carolina is $32,900 per year (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017). From 2014 through 2024, job openings for patient representatives may jump 17% (O*Net, 2017).
Medical information technicians play an important role in North Carolina healthcare. If you choose this career path, you may spend most of your time working with technology and paperwork to ensure that care providers have access to the data they need. You may also look for breaches in security to ensure that patient data is protected as required by law.
The average income in North Carolina is $35,230 per year (BLS, 2017). A 20% increase in job openings is expected between 2014 and 2024 (O*Net, 2017).
Medical managers are essential to the operation of clinics, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. Salaries vary between facilities and management levels, but the average annual income across North Carolina is $106,920 per year (BLS, 2017). In the decade between 2014 and 2024, you may see a 22% boost in job openings for medical managers (O*Net, 2017).
Now that you know more about becoming a health administrator and different healthcare administration jobs, you may take your education to the next level.
Contact North Carolina health management certificate programs to get started.

Peppermint makes the perfect production desktop for my wetwork coding. More specifically writing bad PHP and murdering a server.
Back when I was actively working as an Enterprise Java developer I was doing most of my private development tests on Peppermint. At work, however, we were forced to only use computers on the company's network, supplied by the company and running Windoze. We used the Eclipse development platform and main servers were all running Linux. Windoze itself would fairly regularly freeze and require rebooting despite the network M$-certified admins continually updating, repairing, patching, cursing, pulling their hair out, etc. In fact, it was usually necessary about once every couple of months for the admins to wipe your machine completely and to perform a fresh install and reconfiguration.
like you, I must admit that I'm using a standard Windows 7 Dell PC at work (sadly). I don't blame Dell. They've got a 32bit install running on an i7 Haswell and a very slow RPM hard drive.
Who does that? It's like putting a high performance engine in a Geo Metro with bald tires.
My desktop at home running Peppermint is a nearly six year old i5 and it runs circles around this damn thing.
Yep, not their fault. It's the bonehead corporate number-cruncher that ordered it.
Dell will custom configure machines however YOU wish, even if it doesn't make sense.
I've been using Dell products exclusively, for a while now. It's cheaper for me to buy a recently off-lease business machine (usually 3 years-old) and modify it to MY specs.
Generally speaking, I pull the slow HDD before booting the *new* machine, attach a sticky note with the winders COA and product key on the top, and throw it in the closet. I don't care about the drive. The license is worth more than the drive IMO.
Then, I start repurposing the machine for MY intended usage.
Dells makes great business-class rigs. All the rest meh !
When I'm looking to buy a Dell 'refurb', all I care about is the form factor and GPU. I'll take care of the build quality. If I can find an i7 with 2GB RAM, 80GB 5400 RPM HDD, shiz Intel GPU graphics, and no wireless/bluetooth card, all the better [and cheaper].
I'll take a 'Geo Metro with bald tires' and the heart of a lion, every time !
@VinDSL Next year our work desktops are due for replacement. I may try to buy the machine from our IT department and at that time.
If anything just so I can install Peppermint on it and prove to myself it's not a POS.

Phospholipids as Phosphatidylcholine (PC). Modern dietary phospholipid supplements are clinically proven safe and beneficial for the brain, liver, circulation, and intestinal tract.
Clinically it is best validated for its support of liver recovery following toxic chemical or viral damage. Nine double-blind trials prove PC has lifesaving potential against pharmaceutical and death cap mushroom poisoning, alcoholic liver damage and hepatitis viruses.
Alcohol consumption diminishes enzyme activity, which results in decreased liver content of PC, a key component of cell membranes. This may promote liver injury and possibly trigger fibrosis. PC in Dink ameliorates the alcohol induced enzyme activity and corrects phospholipid and PC depletion, thereby possibly contributing to protection against alcoholic liver injury.
Phospholipids are the building blocks of liver cell walls. Phospholipids are formed in the liver to repair liver cell walls when damaged.
Phospholipids have been taken for many years as a supplement by competitive athletes and people suffering from liver damage after malaria and other illnesses.
Dextrose supplies energy to the body. Dextrose competes with alcohol for the metabolising process with the result that the damaging acetaldehyde is formed at a slower rate. Alcohol inhibits gluconeogenises which results in a lack of available energy. Energy is obviously needed to repair the damage we do to our bodies.
Succinic acid is found in fresh fruit like apples and most living cells.
Succinic acid is essential in the energy process in the mitochondria in living cells.
Succinic acid gives preference to the speeding up of the breakdown of acetaldehyde, the toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism. This has the result of less damage done by the free radical, acetaldehyde.
L-Glutamine is an amino acid used by the body.
L-Glutamine converts to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that mops up free radicals like acetaldehyde.
L-Glutamine converts to an essential amino acid when the body encounters stress situations. L-Glutamine is taken by serious athletes.
Ascorbic Acid – also known as Vitamin C – acts as an antioxidant. The body uses more vitamin C during alcohol consumption than under normal circumstances.
We all know the benefits of vitamin C to our wellbeing.
Vegetable Carbon. The black capsules contain a high grade pure Vegetable Carbon. Vegetable carbon acts as an absorbing agent for toxins and impurities we might take. Vegetable carbon also helps to reduce flatulence.


There is a prevailing misconception that writing for online markets is bad and it is like writing for peanuts. This is not true at all since some of the online writing jobs pay the writers very well.
There are umpteen online writing jobs for freelancers. Your smartness lies in finding the best online markets and in writing that works well online and makes you an outstanding writer. You need to know the tactics to write for online markets and how to earn money out of it. Let us look at the possible ways to go about doing this.
At the outset, one has to tap online resources. There are sites which offer a free list of online writing opportunities. One must start with those and go on to invest in the subscription to more specialized sites. One need not worry about having to spend on a subscription. Once you get a clutch on the writing job, you will make much more money than what you spent on subscribing to various sites. Freelance Success.com, Freelance Switch.com and Writers-Editors.com are a few of the best sites for online writing jobs.
When you go through the list of jobs you must avoid those that do not mention money at all. There is a possible spam attached to online writing jobs about which one must be very cautious. One had better look for posts that require some experience and include a reasonable pay.
Highly competitive online markets pay anywhere from $50 to $500 for a blog post of 500-800 words. $0.25 to $2 per word is the prevailing range for articles in a competitive market. Still larger and more established websites pay even more.
More research naturally demands more pay. If you are aiming at a career by online writing you must not hesitate to ask for the pay rate. You should either ask the site owner directly or someone who has worked for the market. While looking for an opportunity to take up online writing task, the importance of networking to locate potential markets cannot be underestimated. Online markets are not 100% good, there are some disadvantages associated with them too. Online publications are possibly less discriminating than their printed counterparts.
They need more original content than the printed outlets. The most recent topics are comfortably touched upon and covered in these writings. In order to be able to write about current events the writer has to read a lot, keep oneself abreast with things and such writing ends up in a much better pay.
The idea that one cannot make good money out of online writing is a false notion. One can comfortably make a living by writing for online markets. The only difference is with the mode of work. The writer needs to search for resources and materials online and write online.
One who is able to work fast and more efficiently will reap maximum benefits out of online writing jobs. For slow writers and researchers writing online will not fetch much money. The major difficulty is in finding the potential markets online which will pay you at a reasonable rate.
One need not worry about having to spend some quality time in selecting the best online market. The time and effort you thought was waste will turn out to be good for you. What you spent appealing to the best online market will eventually help you in the form of returns on your investment and a much-needed recognition as a good freelancer.
Online writing can be your best portfolio when you write for a how-to-site. If you are highly dedicated this could be the method to do online writing. As a freelancer, writing general articles will be pleasant on your wallet. Blogs are anyway the most popular alternatives of people who want to make money on the internet.

Bermuda to sign Model IGA 2 for USA and UK FATCA
Department of Communication and Information
Tuesday, April 30, 2013 6:44 AM
Minister of Finance Bob Richards *File photo
Today The Minister of Finance The Hon. E.T. Richards JP MP announced that, after considerable consultation with Bermuda industry stakeholders, and after lengthily discussions with US Treasury officials, the Government of Bermuda has decided to negotiate and sign an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Model 2 with the USA, Bermuda's closest neighbor and largest trading partner.
US Treasury official Mark Mazur said: "The US Treasury welcomes this decision by the Government of Bermuda to sign one of the Model Foreign Account Transaction Compliance Act (FATCA) Intergovernmental Agreements. We appreciate Bermuda's leadership and look forward to helping facilitate an efficient exchange of tax information and strengthening Bermuda's commitment to global tax transparency."
Minister Richards also announced that the similar IGA Model 2 format will be signed between Bermuda and the UK, at the request of the UK Government. The UK Government has already produced an official draft IGA Model 2 and provided it to Bermuda as one of the options for Bermuda's consideration.
"I wish to thank the USA and UK FATCA officials for their very helpful exchanges with Bermuda Ministry of Finance officials over a very long period of time leading up to today's announcement and I look forward to concluding negotiations with both countries as quickly as possible." said Minister Richards. "This step will further cement Bermuda as being a reputable jurisdiction for conducting business in a transparent manner.
"In short, Bermuda is doing its part to discourage anyone who comes to a misguided conclusion that they can use Bermuda to engage in breaking the tax laws (FATCA laws or other types of tax laws) of other countries and get away with it."
Minister Richards further noted that the USA created IGA Model 2 as one of two options countries have available to choose from in order to fully comply with USA policy for government-to-government FATCA agreements.
The USA and UK have created IGA Models 1 and 2 as optional models of equal value in compliance terms. Each country will have a myriad of reasons for choosing one particular model, as does Bermuda.
Minister Richards explained that Bermuda has no need for reciprocal receipt of FATCA-style information from the USA, UK or any other Government nor does Bermuda have laws that prevent clients of Bermuda banks giving their bank the approval to share their client information directly with the IRS, unlike some laws in Europe and elsewhere. Bermuda wanted to support the USA and the UK objective at the Governmental level, of the USA and the UK receiving information (either directly from financial institutions or via the foreign Governments) from foreign financial institutions on an automatic basis.
IGA Model 2 represents a Bermuda Government assurance, an intergovernmental assurance, that the USA and the UK will receive FATCA information on an automatic basis directly from foreign financial institutions in Bermuda and gives assurance that the Government of Bermuda will not hesitate to deploy its Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) for group requests from the IRS and UK tax authority to seek detailed information on a minority, if any, of clients who refuse to give their approval to their financial agent to give their client information directly to the IRS and UK tax authority under their respective regimes.
In addition to having just confirmed Bermuda's commitment to FATCA automatic exchange with the USA and UK through the mechanism of IGA Model 2 that has been offered by both Governments, I also confirm Bermuda's commitment to sign a FATCA IGA Model 2 with the G5 initiative on multilateral automatic exchange that has recently been announced to be based on the USA FATCA agreements once they have been finalized and are ready for signature. Here again, Bermuda signing the G5 Multilateral framework represents a Bermuda Government intergovernmental assurance that the EU country signatories with Bermuda will receive FATCA information on an automatic basis directly from foreign financial institutions in Bermuda.
Minister Richards finished his statement by saying that "there has been much talk recently about the G8 gold standard on the Beneficial Ownership objective of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Bermuda is fully committed to this. As you know Bermuda for decades has required companies setting up shop in Bermuda to file beneficial ownership information with the Bermuda Monetary Authority (most of our peer jurisdictions have not caught up in this area) and we have recently passed legislation to license all Corporate Service Providers (CSPs) in Bermuda and bring them under the umbrella of the Proceeds of Crime Act that imposes the FATF standard on beneficial ownership. Therefore Bermuda is already on record as being committed to this objective through the work of our National Anti-money Laundering Committee (NAMLC).
Minister Richards stated "Regarding my making this announcement on FATCA, the Premier and I received assurances of approval from the UK Government as articulated to us by His Excellency the Governor and the UK Minister for the Overseas Territories at our meeting at the Cabinet Office last week

Celebrating Seniors - Frankie Valli Turns 82
Celebrating the life of Franki Valli with his story and vintage music clips: Sherry, Big Girl's Don't Cry, Walk Like A Man, Rag Doll, Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, My Eyes Adored You, Grease
(Frankie Valli 1978 Photo: .MCA Records / Curb Records)
Octogenarian senior citizen and in 2016 still the lead singer of the 1960's American group The Four Seasons, Frankie Valli (Francesco Castellucio) was born on May 3, 1934 in Newark, New Jersey. Frankie grew up in New Jersey and is known for his Jersey roots and his three-and-a-half-octave range (baritone to falsetto soprano).
In an 2014 interview with The Wall Street Journal Frankie Valli recalled his teen years:
"I was always standing on the corner near our apartment singing harmony with friends. We'd also go to the park and sing under the bridge near the lake for the echo. When it was cold out, we'd stand in the little heated lobby in the project's administration building, where my mom paid the rent each month… At school, I'd sing in groups in the locker room or in the bathroom, which was like an echo chamber."
Frankie Valli's friends growing up included Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, both of whom did jail time for small robberies. He has said of living in New Jersey (home of The Sopranos and a city widely known for deep Mafia roots), that "If you didn't watch out you could wind up in the trunk of a car." In interviews with People and the Huffington Post, Valli has said that as a youth he was arrested for breaking and entering, and was on probation for five years. Another friend in their New Jersey neighbourhood was child actor Joe Pesci, younger than both Tommy and Frankie, but like them, a music lover.
Tommy Devito invited Frankie Valli to sing with his Variety Trio group in the early 1950's; the Variety Trio had broken up by 1953. That year, local New Jersey country singer "Texas"Jean Valley heard Frankie sing and introduced him to a music publisher; his eventual last name change to Valli was in honour of Jean Valley. Frankie Valli's first solo single, My Mother's Eyes (1953), went nowhere.
Before his name change to Valli, Frankie Castellucio married a young mother of one (toddler Celia), Mary Mandel (nee Mondelli) in the mid-1950's. He worked at odd day jobs and sang nights in small New Jersey clubs to support his family. Mary and Frankie Valli had 2 more daughters – Antonia (b. 1958/59), and Francine, born in 1960.
By 1956 Frankie had teamed up again with friend Tommy DeVito, his brother Nick, and Hank Majewski, to form The Four Lovers. The group released several singles between 1956-1958, only one of which made the charts – You're The Apple of My Eye (1956) landed at #62 on the Billboard US Hot 100. Nick DeVito and Hank left The Four Lovers in 1958 and were replaced by Nick Massi (Macioci) and Hugh Garrity.
In 1959, Tommy and Frankie Valli's friend Joe Pesci introduced The Four Lovers to singer-songwriter and piano player Bob Gaudio, who joined the group along with Nick Massi. The Four Lovers began working with songwriter and producer Bob Crewe and sang backup for other artists on recordings. After seeing the sign for a New Jersey bowling alley/cocktail lounge in 1960, The Four Lovers were inspired to change the name of the group to The Four Seasons.
The Four Seasons breakout hit came in August 1962 when the single Sherry (written by Bob Gaudio) was released and went to #1 on the US Hot 100 charts,. The world was now aware of Frankie Valli's amazing falsetto voice. Below, audio performance of the original Franki Valli and the Four Seasons, singing Sherry.
The chart success of Sherry was quickly followed two months later by Big Girls Don't Cry, written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe, also a #1 hit single in 1962. Baby boomers may remember hearing Big Girls Don't Cry play in the background on different episodes of the television series Happy Days set in the 1950's, and in the hit move Dirty Dancing (1987). Below, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons performing Big Girls Don't Cry live on television in 1964.
The Four Seasons were on a roll and Walk Like A Man (1963) written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, was their third #1 hit single in January of 1963. Below, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, singing Walk Like A Man:
By the end of 1964, The Four Seasons had become "The Four Seasons (or, The 4 Seasons), featuring Frankie Valli"; Valli was also working with Gaudio and Crewe on solo recordings.
Between 1964-1967, The 4 Seasons featuring Frankie Valli had 10 songs in the Top Ten charts. Below, Frankie Valli in front with The Four Seasons behind, in 1966 – from left, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Joe Long (Joseph LaBracio), who replaced Nick Massi from the original Four Seasons line-up.

Rag Doll (1964) written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, was released in June 1964 and was their fourth #1 hit single. Below, Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons sing Rag Doll.
C'Mon Marianne (1967) written by L. Russel Brown and Raymond Bloodworth, was the last Top Ten hit in the 1960's for The 4 Seasons featuring Frankie Valli – reaching #9 after it's June 1967 release.
That same year, Frankie Valli's first solo single to reach the Top Ten was Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You (1967), written by Bob Gaudio and released in April 1967. Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You was a #2 hit single for Valli, and has been covered by numerous artists such as Engelbert Humperdinck, Barry Manilow, The Killers, and others in the decades since then. Below, Frankie Valli sings Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You.
By the end of the 1960's Frankie Valli had become friends with his childhood idol Frank Sinatra (and his daughter Nancy Sinatra). It was Frank Sinatra that showed Valli exercises to protect his voice after Valli underwent vocal cord surgery in the late 1960's. Valli had also begun to have hearing problems in 1967 due to a middle ear bone problem (ostosclerosis) in both ears. He underwent two unsuccessful surgeries until in 1978 a new ear surgery to replace parts in both ears restored his hearing to almost normal levels.
In a 1967 interview (below), Frankie Valli praised the songwriting and creative genius of The Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio, and talked about his love of performing.
During this time Frankie Valli went through a divorce in 1971 from first wife Mary (Mary Valli died in April 2007).
The Four Seasons and Valli continued to record, and although their chart success was fading, their live performances were in demand. Drummer Gerry Polci joined The Four Seasons for the first time in March 1973 (he would leave and return a couple of more times).
Frankie Valli had met model Mary Ann Hannagan (sometimes spelled Hannigan) when his first marriage was breaking up; Mary Ann and Frankie Vallie were married in June 1974.
That same year, Valli's second solo (credited) single My Eyes Adored You (1974) written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan was released. Although My Eyes Adored You had originally been recorded by The Four Seasons in early 1974, Motown didn't want to release it, so Valli bought the recording and had it released on Private Stock Records with only his name on the label as per the label's request. My Eyes Adored You was Frankie Valli's first #1 hit single, and resulted in The Four Seasons being signed to a new contract with Warner Bros. Records. Bob Crewe was an ocotogenarian senior citizen when he died in September 2014 at the age of 83. Below, Frankie Valli singing My Eyes Adored You on The Midnight Special in 1974:
In 1975, Franki Valli and The Four Seasons accumulated 3 Top Ten hits, between solo recordings and group records, including December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) (1975) which was another #1 for The Four Seasons. Drummer Gerry Polci sand lead vocals on the song. A remix dance version of December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) in 1994, went to #14. It was the last Top Ten hit for The Four Seasons, although the group is still together and performing.
Written by The Four Seasons keyboardist Bob Gaudio and his girlfriend Judy Parker, December, 1963 (Oh What A Night) was originally titled December 5th, 1933 and was about the repeal of prohibition. Frankie Valli and Judy Parker encouraged changing the song to be a nostalgic love song…rumoured to be based in part on her romance with Gaudio. Bob Gaudio and Judy Parker later married.

The original composition of The Four Seasons broke up in 1977, but Valli remained as lead singer and other members came and went.

Clockwise from left, the Four Seasons in 1976 – Gerry Polci, Don Ciccone, John Paiva, Lee Shapiro, and Frankie Valli.
His hearing had been restored when Frankie Valli was requested to record the song Grease (1978), written by Barry Gibb as the title single track for the movie Grease (1978).
The single Grease was another #1 hit in 1978 for Frankie Valli, and was his last #1 and Top Ten hit.
Below, Frankie Valli performing Grease with Lionel Richie & The Commodores live in 1978 on Soul Train:
As the 1980's began and his records began to drop down the charts, Frankie Valli was devastated when his step-daughter Celia Shelleck was killed in an accident in February, followed only 6 months later by youngest daughter Francine Valli's death in August 1980 at the age of 20, from an accidental drug overdose.
By 1984 Frankie Valli's marriage to Mary Ann had ended in divorce in 1982 after eight years together, and Valli (entering in his 50+ years) married for the third time in July 1984, to 24-year-old Randy Clohessy. Randy and Frankie Valli had 3 sons together – Francesco (b. 1987) and twins Emilio and Brando (b. 1994), before separating in 2004 after 20 years together. Divorce proceedings have dragged on for years.
Frankie Valli began to do small acting parts on television series during the 1980's and his 50+ years, including the baby boomer favorite show Miami Vice in 1985. He enjoyed a guest-starring bit as himself in the DJ's Choice episode of Full House (1995) with his 7-year-old son Francesco Valli; and was in the movie Witness to the Mob (1998).
In 1990 Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nicki Massi and Tommy DeVito entered both the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Drummer/vocalist Gerry Polci left The Four Seasons for the last time and married Frankie's divorced daughter Antonia (Toni) Farano (nee Valli) in 1991; the couple made Valli a grandfather twice over by 1994 (Olivia and Dario Polci) before divorcing.
In December 2000, the year after Frankie Valli became an official senior citizen, 73-year-old septuagenarian Nick Massi died. By 2004, Frankie Valli was a septuagenarian senior citizen himself and had began appearing as a mob guy Rusty Millio occasionally on the television series The Sopranos. The Sopranos often featured songs by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and even had an episode titled Big Girls Don't Cry (2000).
In 2005 the story and music of The Four Seasons and Franki Valli was presented for the first time in the Broadway musical Jersey Boys, which became a smash hit. The musical was later adapted for the Jersey Boys movie (2014), directed and produced by Clint Eastwood. Septuagenarian senior citizen Franki Valli made his own Broadway debut with a 2012 concert.
Valli was recognized for his long-standing support of Italian heritage causes when he received the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. Below, Frankie Valli is embraced by then-President George W. Bush after a performance of Jersey Boys at the White House.

Upon becoming an octogenarian senior citizen in 2014, Frankie Valli appeared in the movie And So It Goes (2014) and had a role as Carol Burnett's fiancee in an episode of Hawaii Five-0.
Today, 82-year-old Valli has homes in Los Angeles and New York, and continues to perform solo and with The Four Seasons – 55+ years after the group first took the name in 1959. You can see Franki Valli in concert in Canada and the United States throughout 2016.

Orri Páll Dýrason, the drummer for Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, has left the band after sexual assault allegations were made against him.
Boyd also allegedly shared correspondence between her and Dýrason in which she confronted him about the events of that night and he denied assaulting her, but she claimed the posts were removed from Instagram. Boyd says she came forward with the allegations after watching Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Boyd said she was looking into speaking with a lawyer.
