First comes first – get your Visa!
Because traveling to Malaysia will require you to have a visa, you will need to start your vacation planning with this step. Although received the necessary paperwork might not take that long, in order to avoid any potential inconveniences, it is best advised to handle this task with sufficient time prior to your departure. Now you have the possibility to apply and obtain your Malaysia visa even online. Research the topic, find out what documents you will be needing, fill in the necessary applications and wait until your Visa request is approved before buying plane tickets.
You will probably not have the time necessary to actually discover all the amazing things this country has to show, so knowing the must-see attractions in advance will help you stay organized during your vacation, and actually get a glimpse of Malaysia's most beautiful places. From the Gunung Gading National Park to the Kek Lok Si Temple and the Batu Caves, there are certain locations that you should make the time to explore. Search online to see what other tourists recommend and go prepared. This will help you make the most out of your stay.
When it comes to food, if you want cheap and tasty, you will not go wrong with street food. While at a restaurant you will have to pay at least 25 MYR for a meal, the street food alternative will never be more expensive than 15 MYR, with options that even go below the amount of 5 MYR. With such an affordable price range, the meals you will get from food trucks will also not disappoint you in terms of taste.
If you are planning to travel around by taxi, you should be prepared with a lot of money. If you don't want to spend a fortune on taxi fares, opting for the rental car alternative is recommended. By renting a vehicle you can reach all attractions you want to visit, get around easily and fast, all without breaking the bank. You will find many rental cars offers just by searching on the web, so after you purchase your plane ticket, this is the next thing that you should handle.
If you have never had the chance to visit Malaysia before, then you will certainly be pleasantly surprised with the numerous things this country can offer you as a tourist. However, in order for your travel experience to be as enjoyable as you desire, these are a few things you should know in advance.

Full Throttle is out on 4/18!
By Spaff, March 14, 2017 in Full Throttle Remastered
Spaff
Full Throttle will release on PS4, PS Vita and PC on 4/18.
You can pre order now from GOG or Playstation, and you'll get a rather spiffing 20% off.
Watch this special message from our fearless leader!

That's great, but I cannot believe you left the localized dubbed versions out of the package (German, French, Spanish, Italian). I'm not too worried, though: this is not the first time GOG forgets to update the default language infos for a game.
Will Mac and Linux versions be available on the 18th or will they be released later?
Kolzig
Awesome! @Spaff is the PSN pre-order also available in Europe or only in North America?
I get an error page from the PSN link, and I'm from Finland.

According to GOG.com's site, it will run on the Mac.
Works on: Windows (Vista, 7, 8, 10), Mac OS X (10.9.0+) and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04)
I'm aware of what GOG stated, I just was curious if it was a simultaneous release on all PC platforms or if non-Win systems will be delayed.

It's never been my experience with GOG for them to list a title that's cross-platform and not release it on the same day unless otherwise noted. Some titles that had Mac ports in the works started out as Windows only titles on GOG's store and were later updated when the port became available. While that's not really a guarantee, I think the odds are good that we'll be getting the release on both platforms on release.

While that's not really a guarantee, I think the odds are good that we'll be getting the release on both all three platforms on release.
I hope so too, but I noticed that the system requirements for Linux are the same as the requirements for Grim Fandango Remastered, so I'm also not 100% sure whether they've been confirmed/tested or if it's just an assumption on GOG's part. Especially since this is the first I've heard of it releasing day-1 for Linux. Come to think of it (and after searching the forums), I found this post by Matt from December, where he states that the game will not get a simultaneous release for Linux (or iOS and macOS):
For the question of platforms, we have a contract deadline we have to hit for early-ish next year, so we are focusing our effort on PS4, Vita and Windows for launch. After the initial launch we will be fixing bugs and addressing the feedback from the community (like we did for DOTT) while also working on the OSX, Linux and iOS versions. Trust me, we would love to release everything on day-one, but we are a pretty small team and don't want to compromise the quality of the game by spreading ourselves too thin.
So if the game is being released for Linux and macOS on 18 April, that's new news, as far as I can tell.
I believe that Matt's statement is still current.
Hey, just means that the first version we get will have less bugs!

Question. How are the wallpapers handled if I pre-ordered the game on GOG.com?
Laserschwert
Is the version of the game shown in GOG's Twitch-stream with Tim the current build? Because it still has quite a bit of graphical glitches (like disappearing shadows, lighting changes once a special animation starts, too dark muzzle flashes and search lights and even the original 320x240-version of the game flickering up when the police jet lands), even in the few minutes shown there. On the other hand the contrast issues of Ben's bike have been fixed, so it at least gotta be a newer build than what was used for the trailer.
Edited March 17, 2017 by Laserschwert
They do have another month to work on the game, so they have a lot of time to work out more of the minor glitches
On 16.3.2017 at 10:04 PM, Jeyl said:
The wallpapers weren't first listed there when I immediately pre-ordered the game this week. Now I see there's under the game page listed goodies 4 wallpapers, but when going to the game library, under backups & goodies there are no downloads for the game.
sir @Spaff could you please help in figuring out why the wallpapers can't be downloaded yet? In Tim's video he says the wallpapers should be available with the pre-order?
Those aren't minor glitches though. Even stuff like Ben's hands behind the bike handles are still in there, so if this is a current build, why didn't they just show parts of the game that were more polished? If problems like these are still present throughout the game, a month would be really little time to fix all of these...
Then don't preorder the game if you are so worried. Wait until other people buy it; if DF does a crap job of restoring FT, you know there'll be complaints
Wallpapers are now found under Backups & Goodies!
MilanP
What about the steam version ? Is it planned ?
Well, as you might know from DoTT and GF remasters, the Steam version comes also, but first release is always the drm free version at gog.
For those that would rather purchase it on Steam, it's there now, too:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/228360/
@Spaff, will there be a similar sale when the game gets released on Mac & Linux?

The Airventure festival in Oshkosh, Wisc., always is a bustling hub for GA, experimental, vintage and military aircraft. However, it also sees its fair share of innovations in the realm of business aviation.
Aviation Partners, Inc., flew in and showed off a modified Falcon 50 test model during the 2010 event. The plane was on display in AeroShell Square throughout Airventure.
The test-model Falcon 50 is outfitted with a set of Spiroid Winglets that its designers hope will further reduce drag on an aircraft and lead to fuel savings, even more so than with other winglets currently on the market.
Spiroid winglets tested on a Gulfstream II produced initial results that indicated fuel consumption could be cut by as much as 10 percent in cruise flight by the wingtips.
The hoop-shaped spiroids resulted from a NASA-sponsored project that Aviation Week reported will include about 25 flights. Those working on the project told the magazine that a production model would be expected to weigh significantly less than other winglet options.
Having already produced blended winglets for the Falcon 900 and Boeing 767-300ER, Aviation Partners notes on its web site that the products have reduced global carbon dioxide emissions by more than 22.5 million tons and reduced fuel consumption by 2.2 billion gallons.

Will the Roller-Coaster Ride Continue When Cognex Reports Earnings?
Unexpected sales last quarter boosted results, but the company faces tough comps this quarter.
Investors were prepared for muted financial results last quarter from Cognex (NASDAQ:CGNX). The machine vision specialist had warned investors that several of its largest customers -- particularly in the OLED display and smartphone manufacturing markets -- appeared to be spending less in 2018 than they had in the prior year. Imagine Wall Street's surprise, then, when Cognex reported much higher than expected sales, which ran well above the company's meager forecast.
Cognex is scheduled to release its third-quarter financial report after the market close on Monday, Oct. 29. Let's take a look at the company's surprising performance last quarter to see if it can shed any light on the things to come.
For the second quarter, Cognex reported revenue of $211 million, up 19% year over year, exceeding both analysts' consensus estimates and the high end of the company's forecast. During the conference call, Chairman Robert Shillman pointed out that revenue for the quarter was the second-highest in the company's 37-year history. Earnings per share of $0.32 also came in higher than expected.
Gross margin of 74% was at the lower end the company's forecast, as better-than-expected sales came from lower-margin, application-specific customer solutions. Because of the sophisticated nature of its technology, Cognex will help certain customers with implementation, particularly those with the high potential for future sales. By taking a hit to margins over the short term, the company gains increased future opportunities.
After last quarter's blowout, investors may be looking for more of the same, but Cognex isn't. The company is forecasting revenue between $220 million and $230 million. This would represent year-over-year declines in a range of 11% to 15%, due to tough comps against a record quarter in the prior year. Gross margins are expected to top out in the mid-70% range, and operating expenses should be flat compared to the second quarter.
Cognex's management expects challenging comps for the remainder of the year due to record demand for factory automation related to consumer electronics -- especially OLED and smartphones -- and they're not expecting a repeat of last quarter's performance.
While investors shouldn't be concerned with analysts' quarterly prognostications, they can be helpful in providing context. Analysts' consensus estimates are calling for revenue of $227.36 million, a decline of 12.5% year over year, and near the high end of Cognex's guidance, and are expecting earnings per share of $0.37, down 35% compared to the prior-year quarter.
The broad move to factory automation is expected to continue, in areas like logistics and automotive, so Cognex investors stand to gain over the long term from this trend. The company's technology helps increase productivity and is necessary for products that are too small to be assembled by the human hand -- like smartphone components. Investors with a long time horizon will likely be well-rewarded, but this earnings season, don't expect another blowout like Cognex produced last quarter.

Pawnee Grassland litter persists despite new shooting site
Ryan Maye Handy
Designed to be a more regulated spot that would decrease litter on the Pawnee National Grassland, the new Baker Draw shooting range has yet to have an impact on grassland littering, the U.S. Forest Service says.
It is also proving hard to police, despite its increased regulations. Thus far, the range is popular but users regularly ignore its posted rules, leaving the Baker Draw shooting area littered with shell casings, used targets and clay pigeon shards, which users are supposed to clean themselves.
But it's Baker Draw's freedom and openness that attracted 23-year Iraq war veteran Adam Moore to the range Monday. He brought a collection of rifles, handguns and two friends out to the flat, dry grassland to shoot that day. Although the grassland always has been a popular shooting spot, since Jan. 10 more shooters have been flocking to the new range, the only one of its kind in the state.
It's too soon to tell if the shooting range is reducing litter on other parts of the grassland — part of its intended purpose — and makeshift signage leaves some ambiguity for users when it comes to rules. But for Moore and his friends, Ryan McNeill and Brent Lovind, there are a few good reasons to go to Baker Draw. The range, little more than a rutted-dirt road off County Road 96 in Weld County, has earthen berms and backstops perfect for long-range rifle shooting. When the wind's not howling, it's quiet with plenty of space. And it's free.
"It's worth it when it's nice," said McNeill, who came up from Greeley. "A lot of people don't have to worry about who's out here."
Shooting is allowed pretty much anywhere in the national forests and grasslands with a few rules that keep shooters away from homes and development. The Pawnee always has been a popular spot for Northern Coloradans — and after years of picking up shell casings and recognizing the popular demand, the forest service decided to set aside a special area for shooting.
The agency paid for the range construction with two grants: $25,000 from the National Rifle Association and $97,000 from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
"What we are seeing is there's lots of concentrated use on the Pawnee — that was part of it. And for us, we have a lot of people (who) ask where you can go," said forest service spokeswoman Reghan Cloudman of the decision to create the range.
There has only been one other designated shooting range on forest service lands in Colorado — the South Rampart Shooting Range in the Pike National Forest west of Colorado Springs. It was shut down in 2009 after a man was killed in a shooting accident.
The Baker Draw range has 25-, 50- and 100-yard lanes, and only paper, metallic and cardboard targets are allowed. Clay pigeons and wood-backed targets are prohibited, but their remnants still litter the new range when forest service employee Lenora Arevalos patrols the range four days a week.
Arevalos spends Thursday through Sunday on the range recording the daily goings-on.
"I'm kind of keeping a journal of when I go out there, and who is using what, and how long they are staying," she said.
She also likes to ask people why they come — often to get away from private shooting range rules and regulations — and from where. So far, winter weather at the grassland doesn't seem to be a deterrent.
"It has been very windy and cold," she said. "When it's really windy and cold, you are averaging about 20 people during the whole day. A nice day had close to 60 people."
Users are technically supposed to clean up for themselves, but the range glitters with countless shell casings. Bright orange shards of clay pigeons cover the ground, and Moore and his friends didn't know that such targets are not allowed, although they weren't using them. The forest service will plan some cleanup days for the range, but nothing has been scheduled yet, said Cloudman.
The new range is also not diminishing the use of the rest of the grassland as a popular shooting area, said Cloudman. But the popularity of Baker Draw is evident to Arevalos.
"They love it. They love the benches. They do really well talking to each other," she said of communication on the range. She's also been impressed by how far people are coming to use the range.
"The first few weekends we didn't have one person from Fort Collins," she said. "Kind of surprising."
The Baker Draw Designated Shooting Area is in Weld County, off County Roads 61 and 96.
• From Fort Collins or Interstate 25, take Colorado Highway 14 east toward Weld County.
• Past the town of Ault, turn north on Weld County Road 61.
• Head east on Weld County Road 96.
• The shooting area is to the north of the road.
• Some U.S. Forest Service signs mark the shooting area; the forest service is working on improving signage.

• When shooting, you must be farther than 150 yards from a residence, building, campsite, or developed or occupied recreation area.
• Do not shoot across developed forest service roads or bodies of water.
• You cannot hold an open alcoholic beverage while discharging a firearm.

This paper compares frameworks in recent critical media literacy scholarship with trends found in eight semesters of media literacy community action outreach assignments to explore how these frameworks can function as curricular tools for media literacy practitioners. Besides potential tools for media literacy pedagogy, this examination of recent literature uncovers new considerations and directions for the field of media literacy education. These include tensions present in the practice of teaching from a critical perspective, observations about student use of newer technologies for social change, and concerns to include in critical media literacy literature.
Smartphones are regular classroom accessories. Educators should work with children to understand the capacity of smartphones for learning and civic engagement, rather than being a classroom distraction. This research supports a collaborative project the authors engaged in with students in two states to discover what the perception of smartphone use was by students and teachers. One element of this project included students producing YouTube style tutorials on the educational use of mobile apps. The authors explored smartphone use in the classroom. Student created products correlated to technology trends in K-12 education and their relationship with state by state demographic data.
Students graduating from K-12 education need media literacy skills to engage, participate, and learn in a world in which literacy must keep pace with rapidly changing technologies. Given the significant roles school administrators play in providing leadership and vision to their schools, this narrative study addresses the research question: What are school administrators' perceptions of, and attitudes about, media literacy? Through the stories of six K-12 school administrators, we highlight the connections of their experiences and attitudes to the actions they take to support media literacy learning, and their visions for technology, instruction, and learning in their schools.

For people who snore, it is fortunate that there are natural snoring cures available. As you are aware, snoring may cause sleep disturbances, and often it can cause insomnia and other disorders, such as sleep apnoea. If you snore, or a member of the family does, it is time for you to go to a doctor and seek medical advice to stop any complications occurring. Before using any anti-snoring product, do check with your doctor because he alone has correct awareness of your health condition.
Firstly, identify whether or not the condition is sleep Apnoea snoring. Snoring is normally caused whenever the airways get blocked. The causes regarding this are numerous and can include allergies and throat weakness in addition to the presence of fatty deposits in the throat.
Quite often, this snoring disorder is probably the consequence of a condition referred to as obstructive sleep Apnoea, which unfortunately is a serious problem that will need prompt treatment since it leads to a substantial threat to being free to breathe normally. Nevertheless one important thing about suffering from this particular type of snoring disorder is usually that the patient is only going to suffer when sleeping on their back rather than when sleeping on their side.
Sleep Apnoea snoring is triggered when the airway (upper) collapses thereby causes difficulties in breathing although for short durations only. The actual explanations for difficulties breathing include obstructed nasal passage, soft tissue in the throat, and soft palate together with a soft tongue.
People who suffer with this type of snoring condition may well succumb to a frequent pattern during which snoring occurs first, followed by approximately ten to twenty seconds when the individual stops breathing altogether and that needless to say dampens any snoring sounds. Following that, the sufferer will gasp for air and waken so they can breathe normally just as before.
This kind of pattern in sleep Apnoea snoring tends to make life problematic for the sufferer. Up to 90 % of sufferers with this snoring condition aren't able to have sufficient sleep through the night. This scenario of sleep Apnoea snoring can take place from 100 to 400 times in one night in very serious and extended cases.
Fortunately, of course there are lots of methods for getting respite from sleep Apnoea snoring which only necessitates correct diagnosis by a doctor before appropriate treatment solutions are able to be proposed. Some treatment solutions of sleep Apnoea snoring include wearing of a mask at night, using anti-histamines along with decongestants, sleeping in upright position and also using special pillows.
Of course, some people even have Apnoea without snoring and a simple remedy for sufferers of such a condition is to choose the proper environment in which to sleep. Or, to get relief from sleep Apnoea snoring. Sufferers are also advised to try out a treatment method known as CPAP that has been used with good effect by numerous people.
If you snore and want to put a stop to it, you need to find out what is causing it. There are many different causes for snoring, and determining the cause is the only effective way to reduce or eliminate it. You should look at all possible factors to find the cure that works for you.
Sometimes the cause for snoring is as simple sleeping on your back. Therefore, sleeping on your side should take care of your snoring problem. How can you accomplish this? Try placing a tennis ball in a sock and putting it in your nightshirt. Alternately you can sew something small into the back of your nightshirt. This may be just enough to prevent you from sleeping on your back, thus preventing you from snoring.
Alcohol can be another contributing factor to snoring. Alcohol can work to relax throat muscles which can in turn cause snoring since it creates an obstruction. Other substances that can cause an obstruction include sleeping pills and antihistamines. These also cause the throat to relax. Try and avoid drinking or taking these types of pills before bed to help reduce your snoring.
If you are overweight this may also have an effect on your snoring. Additional fatty deposits around the neck can add pressure to the throat, causing obstructions in the airways. Snoring is only one side effect of carrying around too much weight. If you are overweight you should see your doctor and learn how to take steps to start exercising and eating healthy.
If you're not sure why you snore (and have determined with your doctor it isn't the result of something serious) you could always try one of several anti-snoring devices. Some of these include throat sprays designed to lubricate the throat, mouthpieces which prevent the tongue from rolling to the back of the mouth, pillows which force the airway to remain straight, and nasal strips which supposedly keep the nasal passages open wider.
Whether or not these remedies work is debatable, but if it works for you that's all that matters. Checking out online reviews of products is a great way to see what consumers thought before you spend your hard earned money.
Everyone should sleep about seven or eight hours each night for good health. To get proper rest, you should be relaxed and in a dark, quiet room. If you or your partner snore, this isn't always easy. Here are a few suggestions that will help overcome this problem.
Exercising your throat muscles can help stop snoring. You can improve the strength of your throat muscles by doing exercises daily for approximately 20 minutes. This will help prevent collapsing throat muscles. Pronouncing vowels and tongue curling can strengthen the upper respiratory muscles to prevent snoring.
Alcohol and sleeping pills cause your nervous system and throat muscles to relax and make you snore. Worse, using them can lead to the development of sleep apnoea, which increases your risk of heart disease. Because of this, you should resist consuming both alcohol and sleeping pills.
If you have a loved one that is a snorer, this old wives tale may offer some relief. Because sleeping on your back can cause snoring, you can try attaching a tennis ball to the rear of your pyjama shirt, so that you'll roll to one side or the other while sleeping.
Sleep on your side to prevent snoring. Laying on your back can increase your chance of snoring. Stomach sleeping may put undue pressure on your neck. Side-sleeping is just right; your airways stay open, and your body isn't strained.
Ensuring that you always get adequate rest may help to reduce snoring. In addition to getting enough sleep, you should also make an effort to follow a consistent sleep routine. You should strive to go to sleep at night and get up in the morning at the same time, respectively, every day.
People who tend to snore should consider falling asleep on their side when going to bed. Studies show that when people fall asleep on their side as opposed to their back, snoring will occur less often. Although it may be hard to get used to this position, it will end snoring.
If you have allergies, don't use antihistamines right before bed. You may snore more because the drowsiness caused by antihistamines may cause too much relaxation of the muscles in the nasal airways. If you cannot alleviate these things from your life, try your best to not take them immediately before you go to sleep.
Blow your nose and utilize saline nasal spray prior to going to bed. If you keep your nasal canals clear and moisturized, you will be able to breathe more easily when you are asleep. If your nasal passages are clear, you'll be more probable to breathe via your nose, rather than your mouth.
Consider purchasing one of the many products and medications commercially available to treat snoring. Many people swear by pills, nasal strips, and sprays. However, don't use any treatment methods until you consult with your physician, who can inform you about the ones that would be most effective for your specific condition.
A dry or hot bedroom can be the cause of your snoring. Snoring is exacerbated by clogged-up sinuses, and hot, dry air is excellent for making noses stuffed up. To keep your air moist, sleep with a window cracked or a humidifier on.
If you suffer from snoring, drink a little alcohol or take a sleeping pill before you go to bed. The chemicals present in these substances has a calming and numbing affect on your central nervous system, which releases the jaw and throat muscles.. This activity may cause snoring. Chemical substances can actually add to the possibility of developing sleep apnoea.
If you suffer from snoring, you may be aware of a surgery that can shrink or remove the uvula. That ball shaped piece of skin hanging at the back of your throat is the Uvula. Keep in mind that though this surgery might improve your snoring problem, it will also put you at a greater risk of choking.
Is your bed to blame for your snoring? There are a lot of people who are allergic to some of the synthetic materials from stuff like the material beds and pillows are made out of or sheets. The symptoms the allergies cause, such as a stopped up nose, can cause swelling in the air passages leading to snoring. Consider using bedding made from plain cotton, or specially designed "non-allergenic" bedding that you can get at specialty linen stores.
The tennis ball method is a remedy that many people claim is quite effective. This method consists of placing a ball on the back through sewing a type of pocket on the shirt for it, or just placing it inside a sock, then pinning it to the back. The ball will remind you to not lie on your back, even when you sleep. As soon as your body learns to avoid sleeping on your back, you can omit the ball.
It may seem that you can't control or treat your snoring problem. In most instances, however, this is not true. You can do several things to reduce your snoring.
What To Do When Diagnosed With Snoring Problem?
Most snorers believe that snoring is not a curable problem. In fact, snoring is curable. However, it requires persistency of using snore stop remedies along with practicing healthy life style.
Most of us are aware of what snoring is and how irritating it can be. As we know, snoring is an abnormal breathing condition, which occurs when one is unable to breathe normally during sleep. There are many factors, which lead to this condition such as alcoholism, wrong sleep posture, use of drugs, smoking, obesity, genetic factors, as well as physical deformities. Except the two factors such as physical deformities and genetic causes, all other factors are under one's own control.
The reason why some people are unable to breathe properly is because of the accumulation of excess fat in the throat or mouth. Factors such as obesity, alcoholism and use of drugs results in excess growth of tissues in the mouth and throat, which block the airflow and subsequently lead to vibration of soft palate and uvula, to create the snoring sound.
Currently, there are several remedies for snoring such as anti snoring pillows, nasal sprays, surgical treatments, snore stop pills, and anti snoring mouth guard. According to physicians, the best way to get rid of snoring is to practice healthy life style along with using a perfect anti snoring remedy such as a mouth guard. Healthy life style would include quitting alcoholism and smoking, exercising regularly, sleeping in correct posture and ensuring that the nasal passage is cleared.
There are cases that people illogically doubt that they are snorers due to the presence of some symptoms such as feeling lethargic during the day, lack of concentration, and so on. Therefore, it is important that you consult a physician and confirm your problem. Prior to seeing the physician, you can request your partner to stay awake for a night and examine your snoring problem.
Although there are multiple snore stop remedies available in the market, most physicians prefer to recommend SnoreDoc to their patients. The reason is simple; SnoreDoc supports the jaw firmly and makes the airway wider to allow a free airflow. This avoids the disturbance of soft tissues in the mouth, and thus, no snoring sound is produced.
Fortunately, there are quite a number of snoring cures to alleviate the problem. Most of the snoring cures methods are known to work well provided they are applied for the right problem, as varied types of snoring need to be treated with different type of snoring cure.
New sleep position – Altering your existing sleep position is regarded as one of the most effective snoring cure. According to the physicians, sleeping on one's back encourages snoring as it makes your tongue fall back, thereby increasing the airway resistance. Altering your sleep position and trying to sleep on your stomach is most of the cases helps to cure the problem. Sleeping on the sides is also known to be helpful in few cases.
Inhale steam before going to bed – Inhaling steam before going off to sleep every night is known to an effective snoring cure also. In many cases, sinus and nasal congestion are the main reason behind the snoring problem. Inhaling steam is known to loosen the mucous causing congestion and thereby, provides relief from the snoring problem.
Nasal strips – Nasal strips are another effective snoring cure, which can be used to get relief from the snoring problem. Nasal strips offer a natural solution as they work by expanding the size of the nostrils and allowing enhanced space for the air to flow. However, please keep it in mind that nasal strips are just a temporary solution as the snoring problem generally stems from the tongue and not the nostrils.
Overall weight loss – Overall weight loss is another snoring cures trick to get rid of the snoring problem. Overweight and obese people are generally known to have bulky and heavy neck tissues, which promote snoring.
Believe it or not but shedding even ten percent of your overall weight can substantially alleviate the pesky snoring problem. Staying away from sedatives and alcohol will not only assist you in checking your weight but will also help you wave good bye to the snoring problem. These substances are known to suppress the breathing drive and pose hurdles in the weight loss program.
For the sleep to count, it must be restful. That can be a challenge when you snore or your bed partner does. Read on to find solutions for your snoring dilemma.
The only way you can ever stop snoring, is by first figuring out exactly what is making you snore. You may have a medical condition that leads to snoring, for instance, and allowing it to go untreated means the snoring will continue. Over time, your condition may actually get worse.
If you are a smoker and you snore, you may want to consider quitting smoking. Smoking irritates tissues in your throat, which can cause them to become swollen. The swelling in your throat is the cause of your snoring.
A firm pillow may help end your snoring. Soft pillows relax your throat muscles, which causes your airway to become narrower. If air is finding it tough to pass through, snoring will occur. A pillow that is firm, however, can assist in opening air passageways.
Surprisingly, one cure for snoring is to sing aloud. Singing helps you strengthen the muscles located in your throat and your palate. Increasing the muscle tone in these areas prevents your airways from narrowing as you sleep, making snoring less likely to rouse you from slumber.
Losing weight will often reduce your snoring. Excess neck fat puts pressure on the airways. This can cause your muscles to become lax late in the night, leading to an increased snoring problem. Just the loss of a few pounds will make a big difference in the amount of snoring you experience.
It does not matter whether you are normally classified as lactose intolerant or not; snoring is commonly caused by the consumption of dairy items.
If you are prone to snoring, try to avoid sleeping on your back. If you tend to roll on your back when you sleep, attach an object on your back. The object will be impossible to sleep on, and you will stay off your back.
The unusual "tennis ball cure" has some loyal fans. By placing a tennis ball under your shirt on your back, you can implement this method to reduce snoring.
This, however, is simply not true. There are actually a number of options to help you cut back on snoring.
People who snore in their sleep might not even realize they are doing it. Most people find out about their snoring problem for other people who suffer through it. Snoring can be an embarrassing sign of internal issues. This article gives advice that can help you reduce, or stop, snoring.
In order to reduce snoring, try a change of sleeping position. Lying on the back causes most people to snore because the head is forced downwards by gravity, and the throat closes up slightly. Sleep on your side and it will make it easier for you to sleep, put less stress on your neck, and can reduce your snoring.TIP! Stay well-hydrated to prevent snoring. When you are hydrated, your nasal passages stay unclogged and you are able to breathe without snoring.
Practicing your singing can prevent you from snoring. The reason for this is that singing makes the muscles in your throat a lot stronger over time. Toned muscles will help you breathe better and reduce your snoring. In addition, playing musical instruments, such as the saxophone or trumpet, can aid in strengthening throat muscles.
Stopping smoking can help you to stop snoring, as well. If you are unable to stop smoking, cut down and do not smoke near bedtime. Smoking increases throat swelling and your air passage is minimized. Once this occurs your snoring will get worse, so avoid cigarettes after dinner, if possible.
Perhaps your thyroid function needs attention. An under-active thyroid can result in snoring. This hormone imbalance will not only impact your sleep, but can negatively alter mood during the day.
Some lifestyle choices can increase the likelihood that you will snore. Alcohol and sedatives increase snoring; therefore, you should limit these substances as much as possible. These substances depress your central nervous system, and make your body so relaxed that muscles in your throat are not able to function properly.
Snoring can cause a myriad number of health problems. Snoring reduces the flow of oxygen to the brain and may increase your risk of high blood pressure. This tends to damage carotid arteries, which can eventually lead to a stroke. Snoring that includes sleep apnea should be assessed by your physician.
If snoring is a problem for you, pay attention to what you consume just before bedtime. Anything from muscle relaxants to alcohol can relax the muscles of your throat. They may then collapse inward, blocking the air passageway and causing snoring. Stick to water if you need to drink something to rehydrate yourself before going to bed.TIP! Check out any medications you are on for potential causes of your snoring. Some medications dry out your nasal membranes which can cause swelling and restrict airflow.
Try limiting extra food and alcohol consumption about three hours prior to bed to reduce snoring. Eating too heavy and drinking alcohol will relax throat muscles.
Eating smaller portions in the evening before bed, may help relieve snoring. Large meals eaten before bed will fill your stomach. The diaphragm then pushes up on the throat, and that pressure can cause less airflow to go through the throat. Having a narrow throat along with reduced airflow are common causes of snoring.TIP! If you are having issues with snoring, try using a humidifier before going to sleep.
Whether the snoring problem is yours, or belongs to someone who is keeping you awake at night, one tip is to use more pillows to reduce snoring. Using several pillows forces you to raise your head. This opens the airways and increases your ability to breathe freely. Try this and your snoring problem just might disappear.
See your doctor if you start snoring while pregnant. Both gaining weight and changing hormones can cause reactions in your throat which constricts the airway. This can cause snoring, which is a reduction of oxygen to your foetus.
Snoring can be decreased by simply getting enough sleep. In addition to sleeping for a sufficient number of hours, however, you also need to sleep on a regular schedule. A consistent schedule includes going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time daily.TIP! If your spouse is complaining about your snoring, you should consider eliminating dairy products from your evening meal. If you consume them just before you go to bed, try to avoid doing so for a week to find out if it has a positive effect on your snoring.
Some honey may help combat your snoring, if you eat some before bedtime. Honey is a proven remedy for effectively opening the airways. This allows you to breathe better. Therefore, you won't be snoring as frequently as you were.
When you are pregnant, you should talk to your doctor immediately if you snore constantly. While snoring is a common side effect of pregnancy due to excess pressure on the body, you should ensure that it does not prevent oxygen from reaching your child. Visit your doctor immediately in order to determine if this is the case.
Consult your doctor in order to determine if your snoring may be caused by medications you are currently taking. Some prescription medications can make you snore. Most medications that contain antihistamines relax the throat muscles, which restrict airflow. Snoring is caused by restricted airways.TIP! Studies show that there may be a correlation between snoring and stress. Yoga and meditation are some good techniques you can use to relax and control your breathing.
If your snoring becomes worse during pregnancy, consult your physician. It is common for snoring to accompany weight gain in pregnancy; however, hormonal imbalances may be the culprit.
Keep your head elevated when you are asleep, to cut down on snoring. Lay your head on a fat pillow, which will provide your neck some support. Another option is to sleep on two pillows instead of one.
Heat and dry conditions contribute to increased snoring problems. Dry nasal passages can get clogged and make your snoring worse.
Many people, as stated above, are unaware that they snore unless someone alerts them to this fact.

Listen to our interview with Guardian cartoonist David Squires
EURO 80: The Tournament That Time Forgot
Did you know that Belgium have reached the final of a major tournament? Don't worry if you didn't, because no one ever seems to remember EURO 80, writes Ste McGovern. General consensus […]
Did you know that Belgium have reached the final of a major tournament? Don't worry if you didn't, because no one ever seems to remember EURO 80, writes Ste McGovern.
General consensus insists that this generation of Belgian players are the best bunch that the small country has ever produced, and that may be proven to be true in due course. But you would be forgiven for forgetting, or just outright not knowing, that Belgium have in fact reached the final of a major tournament before.
That success must be put in its proper context, however.
EURO 1980 is a long forgotten competition, and perhaps with good reason. The football was mediocre, the format was odd, and, well, the Germans won, so as you were. It happened to be sandwiched in between two famous European Championships: Antonin Panenka's winning penalty for Czechoslovakia in 1976, and Michel Platini's France in 1984.
Aside from the games involving Italy, the matches were poorly attended as well. Only 4,726 people would witness Czechoslovakia's 3-1 win over Greece, whereas 46,816 were in attendance to see the Italians play Spain two days beforehand. Looking back at the images now, it is painfully obvious how empty the grounds are for some of the games.
For the first time ever, eight countries would compete in the finals in Italy. They were split into two groups of four. But instead of four teams progressing to the semi-finals, the winners of each group would go straight to the final, while the two second-placed teams would face off for third place. It's a far cry from this year's edition, where 24 teams will compete for 16 places in the knockout round.
While it was a relatively boring edition of Europe's premier international tournament, it did have its moments. Ray Wilkins scored one of the best goals ever by an England player against Belgium. He gently lobbed the ball over the defenders and, upon retrieving it, casually struck it on the half-volley into the top corner. He beautifully assisted his own beautiful goal.
The lead only lasted three minutes though, as Jan Ceulemans grabbed an equaliser from a corner in the 29th minute. Afterwards fighting broke out behind the England goal and the police fired tear gas into the crowd. It was a sign of things to come in English football for the decade ahead.
For England the draw was a terrible result and they would end up finishing third in the group, losing 1-0 to Italy and beating Spain 2-1 in a dead rubber. Belgium, on the other hand, were invigorated by the result.
"England had a better side so we were surprised to hold them to a draw," Ceulemans later said. "It was then that we started to believe in our chances."
Crucially the Red Devils would follow it up with a win over Spain, Eric Gerets and Julien Cools scoring either side of a Quini goal to win 2-1. All they needed to do in their final game with the hosts was not lose. The emphasis was therefore on Italy to go and win, but having only managed one goal thus far — Marco Tardelli's winner against the English — it was a step too far. A heroic performance from goalkeeper Theo Custers helped them secure a 0-0 draw. The Belgians went through on goals scored, while Italy would finish runners-up in Group B and go into the third place play-off.
Meanwhile in Group A, West Germany were making hay in what was a difficult group. Aside from whipping boys Greece, they would have to contend with holding European champions Czechoslovakia and Netherlands, who had reached the last two World Cup finals.
The Dutch, perhaps more than anyone else at the time, deserved some silverware to match the elegant and excellent football they displayed over the previous decade. They made a good start, with a 1-0 victory over Greece. The real test would come on matchday two, however.
Knowing that, realistically, only victory over West Germany would give them any chance of making the final, it could not have gone worse for the Oranje. Klaus Allofs opened the scoring after 20 minutes in a dominant first half, although the game was still there for the Dutch. That was obliterated in the second half, when in the space of five minutes Allofs would score two more goals to get his hat-trick.
Netherlands would get two goals back late on, but it wasn't enough. All they could hope for was the playoff, but a 1-1 draw with the Czechs in the last group game closed that door. It was the end of an era. They would fail to qualify for another major international tournament until 1988, where they would finally win the European Championships in Germany.
The third place playoff, which was scrapped after this tournament, ended in a 1-1 draw between Italy and Czechoslovakia. It went to penalties, where of course Panenka would score the fifth. That didn't decide it this time, though. 17 penalties would be taken and scored, until AC Milan's Fulvio Collovati stepped up and missed. It was a fairly disappointing tournament for the host nation, although they would go on to win the World Cup just two years later.
Having won the competition in 1972 — with a World Cup win in 1974, don't forget — West Germany reached their third consecutive Euros final in 1980. It was a nation used to success, but this was also a young squad, the average age of which was just 24.5. Lothar Matthaus, aged 19 at the time, was their youngest outfield player and had yet to win a cap before the tournament.
"We had a new and very young team," Karl-Heinz Rummenigge later said of the West Germans. "We weren't favourites to win at all. Everyone thought that if we could make it to third or fourth place in the tournament, then that would be success."
Belgium had finished third in their home Euros in 1972, but that was out of four teams. On that occasion they lost to West Germany, who they would face in the final this time around. They had been solid, if not spectacular, up to that point, and would need to up their game if they were to spring a surprise.
It didn't look likely early on, as Horst Hrubesch scored after just ten minutes. The Hamburg striker, who only made it into the squad as a late replacement for the injured Klaus Fischer, latched onto a chipped ball from Bernd Schuster and hit it on the run. That lead would last for over an hour.
René Vandereycken would equalise from the penalty spot and extra time looked likely from there. That was, until Hrubesch popped up again. Back home he was known as the Kopfball-Ungeheuer, or Heading Monster. A charming nickname, but one with good reason. So confident was Rummenigge that Hrubesch would score the winner from his corner, he apparently told a cameraman next to the corner flag to aim his lens at his teammate.
And so it was. With 88 minutes on the clock, Hrubesch headed home the decisive goal to clinch the country's second European Championship. The 29 year old had only acquired 7 caps before the tournament, but who knows how this game might have gone had he not been called up?

I have just released version 2.0 of the Simple Mvvm Toolkit on CodePlex, NuGet and the Visual Studio Extensions Gallery.
Now all you have to do to get it is open Visual Studio and select Extensions Manager from the Tool menu, then search for "Simple Mvvm Toolkit" and click the Download button. Launch SimpleMvvmInstaller.exe and you'll get the whole shebang: binaries, project and item templates, code snippets, samples and source code, copied to the SimpleMvvmToolkit directory in your Program Files folder. The ReadMe.txt file lists all the prerequisites you'll need to install before using the toolkit. The installer will even add the toolkit to Visual Studio's referenced assemblies, so that it appears in the list of assemblies when you show the Add Reference Dialog.
Visual Studio integration is nice, but the killer feature of v2 is the new Visual Studio project templates. You heard right, the installer not only gives you the item templates and code snippets you had in v1, but it also provides four project templates: Silverlight, Windows Phone, WPF and RIA Services. Each of these gives you a ready-made Visual Studio project that references the toolkit and includes Models, Views, ViewModels, ServiceAgents, and a ViewModelLocator. All you have to do is open the included ReadMe.txt file and follow the simple instructions, using each of the provided classes as examples. To get started just open Visual Studio, select File, New Project, then click on the Mvvm category beneath Windows (for WPF), Silverlight, or Silverlight for Windows Phone.
If you select, for example, the SimpleMvvmSilverlight template, you'll get a brand new project with the following folder structure.
This is nice, but the amazingly awesome project template is SimpleMvvmRiaServices.
If you set the Test project as the startup and hit F5, you'll get a fully functional unit test application. This is enabled by the supplied InjectedViewModelLocator (found in the Locators folder) and the ServiceAgentExport attribute placed on real and mock service agents.
As you can see, v2 of the toolkit offers a lot in the way of productivity and ease-of-use. But if you were to peek under the covers you'd discover even more simple goodness. First, I have removed the use of a dictionary in the ViewModelLocator item templates and instead create ViewModels on-demand in property getters. This involves a breaking change in the way you set the DataContext in Views. There is no longer the need to insert square brackets around the ViewModel property in the Path. This allows the View to control the lifetime of the ViewModel, avoiding a potential memory leak, but it also results in a lot less code in the locator when you use the mvvmlocator, mvvmlocatornosa (no service agent required) or mvvminjectedlocator (injected service agents) code snippets.
In addition, the MessageBus is now implemented using a leak-proof eventing model, which removes the requirement to un-register for messages. To simplify messaging even further, the ViewModelBase class now has two easy methods you can call: RegisterToReceiveMessages and SendMessage. (The only other breaking change in v2 is that you no longer use the MessageBus class directly.) Note that inter-ViewModel communication using the MessageBus is only required if you wish to perform navigation based on logic in a ViewModel, such as a Save method.
Lastly, v2 adds Parts 2 and 3 to the Main sample application. Part 2 walks you through features such as dependency injection, unit testing, messaging, property associations and long-running async operations. Part 3 simply ports the application to WCF RIA Services and adds methods for saving batch changes (inserts, updates and deletes) in a single round-trip to the service.
Speaking of unit testing, one other thing to note is that the toolkit contains an extension method that makes it easier to perform async unit testing with the Silverlight Unit Testing Framework that ships as part of the Silverlight Toolkit. Basically it adds a timeout to the EnqueueConditional method so that tests that fail don't go on forever.
So there you have it! Version 2 of the Simple MVVM Toolkit is more robust and is even easier to use: an automated installer, Visual Studio project templates (including RIA Services), simplified locator and messaging APIs that protect you from memory leaks, and expanded end-to-end sample applications. Sweet.

Tony, thanks for this great toolkit. Any plans to support us VB.NET progammers? I was hoping it would be a simple matter of adding a reference to your library and code away. However, I get a 'not CLS-compliant' when deriving from any of your classes. Is there anything I can do to remove this warning, or will the assemblies need to be modified and recompiled to make things work correctly. I could probably do this myself, but of course your next release would require me to fix it again.
Also, I have manually converted your code snippets and templates (a little time consuming) for use with VB.NET. Any chance of providing these out-of-the-box, or at least documenting the ones that have changed so I don't have to analyze/modify all of them?
Tony, thanks for this great toolkit. Any plans to support us VB.NET progammers? I was hoping it would be a simple matter of adding a reference to your library and code away. However, I get 'not CLS-compliant' warnings whenever I try to inherit/implement any of your classes. I am quessing the assemblies would need to be modified and recompiled in order to make things work correctly?
Thanks for your continued work on this toolkit.
I uploaded a new version of the source code that can be used with VB.NET: http://simplemvvmtoolkit.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/changes/11329. I will incorporate this into the next release of the toolkit. It was simply a matter of adding the CLSCompliant assembly attribute.
Hi Tony, I had already started a VS 2010 RIA sevices C# project, and now I'm trying to pull your stuff in to use it. It compiles and loads fine, but I also get the warnings about all your classes being "not CLS-compliant". Is there something I need to do to resolve this?
Hi Tony – Thanks for the great toolkit. I am still very new to this but I wonder if you would be able to help point me in the right direction with a problem I'm having with a detail view when I edit an item on the list? I haven't really changed your code structure at all, just the data being passed through.
I have a model.SelectedItem that I pass to the constructor of the detailViewModel. One of the properties of this item is a collection of child items which I can see fine.
I now pass that detailviewmodel to the constructor of a DetailView. However, when I debug setting the DataContext of the view I notice the collection is empty. The other properties are set fine but not the collection?
Aplogies if this is not really the place to post this but just wondered if I was missing something obvious? Thanks.
Hmmm … It sounds like the you're having an issue with that list not getting populated. Can you paste the code in a reply to this comment?
We are using Simple MVVM in our project.We have added ViewModel which are inherehing from ViewModelBase class from SimpleMVVM fremawork.We need to add one ViewModel which will be base for all view models.But all view model allready inheriting from ViewModelBase.Please tell us how to add BaseViewModel for common functionality.
I would suggest having your base class inherit from ViewModelBase, and then inheriting the ViewModels from your base class.
There are view models in projects which are inheriting from ViewModelDetailBase and ViewModelBase.
I need to create one base view model which contain some common functionalities for all view models.Becasue of limitatoin of mulitple inheritance ,not able to create base view model.For these,is there need to create two base view models which are inheriting from ViewModelDetailBase and ViewModelBase.
Please suggest how to create base view model for detail view model and non detail view model.
I would suggest putting common functionality in a "helper" class used by both of your base classes. That's basically what the toolkit does to overcome the limitation of no multiple inheritance. One of your base classes would inherit from ViewModelBase and the other from ViewModelDetailBase – each would make use of functionality in a third class, which is the helper.
It doesn't really matter where you want to locate various elements. Just create silverlight class library projects for each group. You can keep ViewModels and the locator in a separate project, for example, and reference it from the main project. If you do that, make sure you add the assembly to the namespace in the xaml of each view, so that it knows where to find the locator.
how can I Implement a navigation framework on WPF application with your Simple MVVM Toolkit?
I would recommend starting with the Simple Mvvm Visual Studio template for WPF (new Project, Windows, SimpleMvvm), then apply the WPF navigation framework.

Sir Edwin Henry Landseer

Landseer was the most celebrated Victorian painter of animals.
He learned drawing from his father, John Landseer A.R.A, and studied at the Royal Academy where he exhibited in 1815 at the age of thirteen. His first royal commission came in 1836 when he painted Princess Victoria's pet spaniel as a birthday present from her mother, the Duchess of Kent. He would become Queen Victoria's favorite painter, eventually teaching her drawing and etching.
Landseer spent much time in the Scottish Highlands, often staying with socially prominent patrons like the Duke of Bedford who owned vast estates and deer forests there. Sir Walter Scott's novels of Scottish subjects and, later, Queen Victoria's love of all things Scottish, sparked the nineteenth century's fascination with the Highlands. And through the wide distribution of engravings of his works, Landseer's images captured the imagination of the British people. Of his works the most widely seen are the four bronze lions at the base of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square which were built to his designs, though his authorship is generally unknown. More iconic, and his signature painting, is the Monarch of the Glen, a dramatic portrait of a stag silhouetted against a windswept sky, a symbol of Britain's proud independence.
In his earlier years, he was much influenced by the lively and fluent technique of Rubens and his pupil, the animal specialist Frans Snyders. He even copied a Rubens Sketch of a Deerhunt (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). Landseer's ability to depict animals not only with a high level of finish and anatomical accuracy but also subtle anthropomorphic qualities contributed to his renown. Indeed, he developed a sideline in humorous paintings depicting such subjects as a dog reading the newspaper, which just steer clear of chocolate-box sentimentality.
Landseer has recently been recognized as an important romantic animal painter. His Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveller, one of his earliest and most famous paintings was acquired by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. in December of 2019 while the Monarch of the Glen was privately purchased in 2016 by the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh.

GOVERNMENT CHANGES. Syrian Prime Minister Abdul Raouf Kasm has resigned, Al Khaleej newspaper said Wednesday. The newspaper, which quoted "well- informed" sources, did not mention when the resignation was tendered or elaborate on the reason. Economy Minister Mohammed Imadi and Defense Minister Mustafa Tlass are among the most likely candidates to form the new government, Al Khaleej said.
