The ritual of the family dinner table has long been a familiar scene of American life. Recent studies have shown, however, that there are many health benefits, both physical and mental, for a family that dines together more at least three nights a week. It has been demonstrated that children in such families have a lower rate of smoking and underage drinking. The average overall diet of these families contain 30% lower rates of fat and include 3 to 4 more servings of fruit and vegetables per week. With today’s busy family lifestyle, making an effort to share a meal together may seem like quite a chore, but the benefits for both body and soul pay off in healthy dividends.
While it may seem tempting to grab a fast food meal between errands or on the way home from work, there are many quick and easy ways to create healthier and less expensive meals at home. For instance, many of today’s crock pots and slow cookers have timer settings. With minimal preparation a hot meal can be waiting for your family when you get in from your busy day. There are whole cook books and web sites devoted specifically to this type of cooking. If time is of the essences this is an excellent solution.
Spending a few hours on the weekend to prepare meals for the coming busy week can lighten the load in working families. Ingredients can be pre-mixed and ready for a casserole or stir fry. Add rice or potatoes and you have a meal in less than 30 minutes.
Having the kids in the family help with the meal preparation can cut down on the time it takes and also provide an opportunity for interaction. Even very young children can learn to measure ingredients and stir pots. As the children learn, they can become cooks in their own right and even prepare their own concoctions. Being able to complete a task such as preparing and serving family meal teaches them a valuable skill, while instilling confidence in their own ability. Researching recipes and shopping for ingredients makes them even more appreciative of the time and resources it takes to care for a family.
Healthy habits formed in childhood can serve a person for a lifetime. Making the effort to spend time together a family around the dinner table may seem a Herculean task in these busy times, but by making family dinner time a non-negotiable priority, parents are giving their child the gift of a healthy start in life.

Posidonia, the international shipping exhibition, has long been established as one of the major calendar events of the shipping industry, and Posidonia 2016 attracted the most influential personalities from the Greek and international shipping community and major companies and organisations active in all sectors of the shipping industry. The international exhibition Posidonia first took place in 1969 and has been taking place every two years ever since. Posidonia 2016 was the largest in terms of exhibition space and most publicised event in the exhibitions’ almost 50 year history and has become the largest trade show in Greece.

Mr. Evangelos Marinakis, the Chairman of Capital Maritime & Trading Corp., was voted as Lloyd’s List’s “Greek Shipping Personality of the Year” for 2017. The award caps a very active year for Mr Marinakis and the Capital Group as it expanded significantly across the tanker, container and dry bulk sectors growing the fleet under management by 17 vessels to a total of 71 vessels including 45 tankers, 19 container carriers and 7 bulk carriers. Beyond the shipping sector, in 2017, Mr Marinakis continued to make an impact both in Greece and internationally across a range of other business and philanthropic activities. These included his acquisition of storied English football club Nottingham Forest; the acquisition of Greek media group DOL; the dedication of a new monument in Piraeus to t...
DNV GL’s relationship with the Greek shipping industry goes back almost 100 years, and we are very proud of our productive and long-standing relationship with owners and operators here in Greece. Greece, and Piraeus in particular, is unique in the maritime world: nowhere else is there such a great concentration of shipping companies. This makes it a very important place for us at DNV GL. Find out more at https://www.dnvgl.com/greece
http://www.FT.com/ The FT's shipping correspondent, Robert Wright, explains why despite the country's economic woes, Greek ship owners look likely to emerge ahead of their German counterparts. For more video content from the FT, visit the Financial Times video section at: http://www.ft.com/video
Greece is still the largest shipping country in the world in terms of dry/bulk cargo and tanker fleet capacity, despite the growing presence of China which ranks third, just behind Japan. Abu Dhabi based National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) has contracted Chinese shipyard Zhenhua Heavy Industries for the construction of their DLS 4200 derrick lay vessel developed by Ulstein Sea of Solutions (USOS). Keppel opened its new integrated safety training facility, the Keppel Safety Training Centre. Located at Keppel Shipyard in Tuas, the Centre offers a complete range of safety training and certification courses in both trade-specific and broad-based skills for its workforce across all levels.

Greece's economy has been hit hard by the financial crisis but its shipping industry remains competitive. Greek operates the biggest merchant fleet in the world – at least 3,500 oceangoing vessels, generating business worth $18bn a year at home – more than six percent of the Greek economy. The government hopes the country’s flagship business can help turn the economy around - but ship owners are not so sure. Al Jazeera's John Psaropoulos reports from Athens.

An Arizona police officer is facing a slew of felony sex crime charges in California.
Jared Elkins, a 33-year-old officer with the Yuma Police Department, was charged with eight counts — including forcible rape, rape of an intoxicated person, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by use of force — for an alleged incident in San Diego, KGTV reported.
Elkins on Monday pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to KUSI.
Authorities on Sept. 14 responded to a Kensington home after receiving a phone call from the 23-year-old victim's mother. She claimed in the 4 a.m. call that the Yuma officer had raped her daughter.
When they arrived, the victim was visibly intoxicated to the point where Elkins should have known she was unable to give consent, according to court documents.
At the time of the incident, the officer was off-duty, authorities confirmed. The relationship between Elkins and the woman is currently unknown.
Elkins, who has been married since 2013 is a seven-year veteran with the Yuma police department. He was placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the trial, and was released on $250,000 the day after his arrest.
He's slated to return to court for a preliminary hearing on March 22. If convicted, Elkins faces up to 16 years behind bars.

Navi Mumbai: 21-year-old arrested for impregnating minor sister in Panvel
The girl, who studies in college, felt sick on Saturday, so her father took her to the state-run Cama Hospital at Dhobhitalao.
The Panvel City police recently arrested a 21-year-old Panvel resident for allegedly impregnating his 16-year-old sister.
The girl, who studies in college, felt sick on Saturday, so her father took her to the state-run Cama Hospital at Dhobhitalao, a Times of India report read.
"After an examination, the doctor revealed that the girl was two months pregnant," assistant police inspector Raju Pachorkar was quoted as saying in the report.
He said the girl's parents were shocked when she told them that she had been sexually abused by her brother in August.
Pachorkar said the doctor reported the matter to the Azad Maidan police station.
The report said that a case of rape was filed against the brother and it was transferred to the Panvel City police station on Sunday, as the girl said the sexual assault had happened in Panvel.
Police said the girl also has a 25-year-old brother who lives separately and her mother has been living with a sickness. They added that the father is usually busy working or taking care of his wife.
The accused has been booked for rape under the POCSO Act.

Duck. Until fairly recently, it’s been on my “too difficult to cook properly” list. Also, I find it quite a strong flavoured meat. And really, I had a pet duck when I was little (named “Ping” after this book) so for many years I didn’t even touch the stuff. I started to learn to like […]

We’re working with Jerusalem artichokes again this week for French Fridays with Dorie. Despite the name, these ugly root vegetables are NOT artichokes. Also known as sunchokes they are a member of the sunflower family (their flowers are similar in appearance). We’ve roasted Jerusalem artichokes for French Fridays previously so I was fortunate enough to […]
This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe was a perfect chilly-weather comfort food dish – osso buco. Osso buco translates to “bone with a hole” and generally means round, thick slices cut crosswise from a veal shank, with meat surrounding the central hole of the bone, which is filled with marrow. I wasn’t concerned about […]

This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe is a simple roasted vegetable dish – Jerusalem Artichokes with Garlic. Let’s talk about the name shall we? It’s actually not an artichoke (no relation, either) and did not come from Jerusalem. According the the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs it’s thought the name is […]

Find out how by sending an email to bill. He is a national columnist on law enforcement management and leadership issues, and serves as a consultant to law enforcement agencies. I look forward to sharing these professional development tools with you soon. De-escalation in policing is a technique that attempts to reverse the long taught and encouraged method of applying force to control a situation. Practicing effective followership is critical to the development of effective leadership skills, and also serves to bolster the understanding that each of these roles play in the leadership exchange.
Open-Minded and Accessible Because a police chief is often the liaison to the public for the entire police department, it is important that this individual be open-minded and accessible. Mitch is currently pursuing a doctorate degree in adult education and higher learning. It is the result of such leadership studies that show that most supervisors in their position Admitted that they do little or nothing when it comes to problem employees, even if dangerous behavior is shown. While many agencies have in place, usually those plans involve a pre-identified set of personnel that the organization believes are most likely to be successful at the next level. More than 450 participants have completed the program, she said, including 9 who currently serve as chiefs of police in Virginia.
Garner About the Author Gerald W. The series, aimed at junior to middle ranking officers, consists of practical guides containing clear and detailed explanations of the relevant legislation and practice, accompanied by case studies, illustrative diagrams and useful checklists. Bratton During his 20 year law enforcement career, Jon Shane worked a variety of assignments and worked his way through the ranks of detective, sergeant and lieutenant, eventually reaching the rank of Captain. While these are important traits for anyone in law enforcement, it is especially important that a police chief display these qualities. How do you get things moving in the right direction? Since Clausewitz published On War morale has developed into a concept seen as critical to organizations, including law enforcement. The position is only one type of leadership power and for the most part the weakest.
Based on my personal experience, I wanted to make a change. In the leader realm, power is the amount and type of influence the leader possesses. Good for the police , good for the community. A police chief should be willing to work with officers of all ages, races, religions and ethnicities and also be committed to improving the diversity of the police department. Here are four strategies that can be implemented to help develop future police leaders regardless of their stage of career development.
The Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units explains the steps for developing and maintaining a realistic, effective response to increasing levels of violent crime. Ronald McCarthy was awarded the Los Angeles Police Department Medal of Valor for action against the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1975, and the Police Star for the rescue of hostages in 1983. A fragmented system of law enforcement is very evident today. Study any number of biographies of great leaders and you will see a commonality among them: Exemplary leaders do not come from weak or passive followers. Total Pay combines base annual salary or hourly wage, bonuses, profit sharing, tips, commissions, overtime pay and other forms of cash earnings, as applicable for this job. Each chapter concludes with a review of the lessons learned, ensuring that the reader achieves maximum benefit.
How do you establish leadership? A culture of forgiveness would heal a lot of angry cops. The perception of law enforcement is created by its relationships with community members, community officials, and the media. A police chief is more than just another job at the police department. Currently, Paul Dickinson is the chief of police of the Towamencin Township Police Pennsylvania. Bring this course to your department! Participants identify a project relevant to their job responsibilities before arriving in Blacksburg in June for the week-long program; develop the project over the course of the summer, applying their new leadership knowledge and skills; and implement it in their jobs in the fall. If that were true then why do we have police misconduct reported on such a regular basis? As society demands more compassion and understanding from their officers, emotional intelligence and soft skills are increasingly more important in recruiting, training and retaining police officers, and they are the keys to success in your own career.
Her first published book is on progressive police supervision. View your efforts with a self-critical eye, with the goal of always improving and growing subordinates professionally and in their own leadership acumen. As a result, they miss opportunities to practice and replicate effective leadership skills. This job was very essential to my growth as a person. Knowing what has come before and how it has worked is a success that a leader in policing needs to understand.
Every effective leader understands that their daily responsibilities include both leadership and followership roles. Simply put, for a great many officers it is not so much the job that gets to them, but a psychologically harmful internal culture within their departments. With knowledge being a huge factor, it is important to know your surroundings and what type of undertaking to implore. Harvey Tome on police supervision, used as the basis for promotional testing nationwide, written by a cop Nathan F. From the early styles of Autocratic and Laissez-Faire to Participative democratic , Transactional and Transformational leadership. In year 2000 he was selected by Governor Tom Ridge to serve on the Pennsylvania Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission.
He is a 36-year veteran of law enforcement, having commenced his policing career as a patrolman at the Victoria, Texas Police Department in 1969. Barry is the director of The Center for Excellence in Public Safety Leadership and associate professor of criminal justice at Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee. Each chapter consists of a dialogue or story involving police managers facing problems and issues regularly dealt with by police agencies. The importance of cooperation is stressed to ensure safety of police officers, hostages, news personnel, and bystanders during a hostage situation. With a complete look at how to manage a police organization, including leadership strategies, stress management, and police community relations, The Managing of Police Organizations is the only choice for a complete understanding of police management.
Leadership is defined as someone who provides guidance or direction to a group. Ronald McCarthy was the chief of Tactical Operations for the U. Are citizens satisfied with our work? This was my own narrow view of what leadership was supposed to look like. Featuring exclusive new material on the art of tactical communications and the elusive art of superior leadership, Dr. Police officer testing is traditionally a keenly competitive process where literally hundreds of hopefuls can vie for each open spot on a highly sought after department.

After scoring a major victory with the passage of Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown said Wednesday he would temper impulses at the state Capitol to ramp up spending with billions of dollars more coming into California's coffers.
"Now we have more revenue, but that revenue will be used prudently and judiciously," he said. "And I don’t underestimate the struggle over the next several years to keep on a very calm, clear and sustainable glide path."
Speaking to reporters in Sacramento, the governor said Tuesday's election result was not a mandate for profligate spending.

Microsoft has finally announced details of its cloud-powered streaming technology, now called Project xCloud, which has been in the works for a while now.
Microsoft announced that it was building a video game streaming service at E3 2018, and while details were thin at the time, Microsoft is still hard at work building cloud streaming technology, and this week they’ve unveiled Project xCloud, its “global game-streaming technology”.
Project xCloud will essentially allow players to stream their Xbox One or Windows 10 PC games to their phone and other devices. This isn’t a new thing for Xbox players as they’ve been able to stream their Xbox to their Windows 10 PCs for a while now, but this time it’ll extend further than the PC.
“We are testing Project xCloud today,” the company wrote in a blog post. “The test runs on devices (mobile phones, tablets) paired with an Xbox Wireless Controller through Bluetooth, and it is also playable using touch input. The immersive nature of console and PC games often requires controls that are mapped to multiple keys, buttons, sticks, and triggers. We are developing a new, game-specific touch input overlay that provides the maximum response in a minimal footprint for players who choose to play without a controller.”
Project xCloud currently works via 4G and 5G networks and uses Microsoft Azure as part of the overall stabilization process. The tech is expected to hit public beta in 2019.

Tomb Raider was recently released, and here’s our thoughts on the movie.
As always, spoilers abound.
Tomb Raider is the videogame movie that you have been waiting for. To be honest, videogame movies have fared poorly on the silver screen and have had the hardest time translating from your console to the big screen treatment. Tomb Raider does not fall under that category.
As fans and gamers, there’s an expectation that the movie will be true to its origins. Be it the story, the elements, or how a character is portrayed. These elements plagued even the first go-round of Lara Croft on the screen in the early 2000s. Tomb Raider took these elements into consideration and delivered big in this iteration.
The movie follows the same storyline as that of the Tomb Raider game in 2013, with the story revolving around the myth of Himiko. Several lines from the movie were likewise lifted from the game. Characters such as Mathias and Anna also make an appearance in the movie. The difference, however, is that in the movie Lara is not in search for Himiko but instead is in search for her father Richard Croft, with Himiko serving as the mcguffin in the movie.
Storywise, the movie plodded along in the first 30 minutes. It started-off slow with set-up and exposition, but once the world-building and exposition heavy parts were done with the movie significantly picked-up its pace and never looked back.
What’s great about the exposition and set-up is that it gave viewers something to chew-on as it showed just how close the relationship of Lara and her father was. It gave viewers something that they can relate to, and it grounded the whole movie. Richard’s supposed “death” also made Lara relatable. It is also worth noting that Lara’s depiction here as a charming, down-to-earth woman really paid-off, rather than having her as a spoiled, rich archaeologist that we were once introduced to.
Lara’s adventure really took-off once she was given a puzzle to solve before she signed the certificate of presumptive death of her father. As fans know, an intricate part of the whole Tomb Raider series is Lara’s puzzle-solving skills, which in this movie did not feel forced at all. From there, Lara goes on a whirlwind of an adventure from London to Hong Kong to the Devil’s Triangle, approximately near Japan and the Philippines.
While at this point, the movie feels like your generic tomb raiding movie ala Indiana Jones or National Treasure, the movie makes its mark once Lara is placed in danger. A particular scene, the escape from the sinking ship, was really organic as Lara moved as if you were controlling her in the game. Another noteworthy scene was her parachute escape from Mathias, particularly the airplane scene.
These adventures where of course not the focal point of the movie. It is in fact the relationship of Lara and her father. The revelation that Richard was alive and on the same island was a welcome surprise. It also emitted some of the calmer scenes in the movie which was a welcome change of pace and at the same time a great piece of drama and acting.
Another scene worth noting is one in the tomb. There’s a particular scene there where the floor was collapsing bit by bit and Lara and her companions had to figure-out the puzzle to escape the room. The scene was full of tension and distress, and it evoked that same level of focus and tension as that of the game. It was truly a heart stopper, and after that scene I was surprised when I realized that I was holding my breath throughout that scene.
The overall story, however, is rather generic and rather overused. The hero of the story in the midst of rescuing someone special and at the same time discovering a potential extinction level bacteria and preventing the villain from unleashing it and thereafter triumphing at the expense of the said loved one has been used in countless movies and videogames, and thus making it predictable.
The saving grace for this movie, though, is the feel of it. The movie feels just like a videogame, and that is not a negative. The mechanics of the game were infused without the feeling of being forced. Lara utilizing her skills, be it hanging from a ledge, escaping a plane, using a pick-ax or even solving intricate puzzles were nicely crafted and infused in the movie.
The other plus for this movie is Alicia Vikander. Alicia is perfect for the role of Lara. She carried the role and the movie on her shoulders and proved that she is a force to be reckoned with in the movie industry. Her performance, starting from the somewhat gullible Lara and her subsequent growth throughout the movie into The Tomb Raider was a sight to behold. Her brute strength in the more physical aspects of her role was likewise a big plus. It also doesn’t hurt that she’s got the charms to pull-off the role.
Overall, Tomb Raider is a fun adventure that is worth seeing in the cinemas. It is a far better iteration of Lara Croft, and should be a worthy jumping-off point for videogame movies.
While the story may come-off as a rehash of previous adventure movies, the acting especially of Alicia Vikander and the infusion of in-game mechanics in the movie is a big plus for this movie.
We give it a 3.5/5

C. S. Lewis – The Lion Audiobooktext
It can be a danger to re- reviewed magazines that you liked as a youngster or a young adult. The Lion, the Witch, as well as the Storage room is amongst guides that I examine various times as I was developing. The world of Narnia never ever obtained old or monotonous. Happily, I appreciated this as much 40+ years later on!
Released in 1950, this was the after that preliminary magazine of the Narnia collection. An innovator was launched later on. I take a look at numerous other publications in the Narnia collection, yet this was continuously my fave. People will definitely notify you that this is a tale concerning Christianity, a retelling of tales from the Scriptures, or an allegory. The Lion Audiobook Free. As a youngster I presumed this was an exceptional fairy tale. As a grown-up, I had the ability to see the moral or Christian parallels nevertheless I selected to overlook them as well as likewise review this as a fairytale.
Peter, Susan, Edmund in addition to Lucy remain in London nevertheless they are sent out to the countryside throughout WWII to flee the strike. They are housed with a senior as well as likewise smart educator as well as his strenuous as well as daunting caretaker in an old estate. While playing conceal as well as try to find on a stormy day, Lucy conceals in closet. Behind the hair layers is the land of Narnia. Narnia is ruled by the White Witch as well as she has actually made the land “continuously winter yet never ever Xmas.” Narnia is separated right into excellent pets as well as likewise poor pets that supply the Witch. Lucy is aided by a “excellent” faun, that shields her from the Witch. The exposure of a human in Narnia is endangering to the Witch as well as all the pets have actually been educated to signal her instantly. Lucy safely returns residence as well as likewise her bro or sis do not think her story. Edmund in addition to Lucy afterwards find Narnia with each other nevertheless he meets the White Witch as well as is placed under her spell. On returning home, he exists to both older bro or sis as well as insurance claims Narnia does not exist. Inevitably, all 4 bro or sis wind up in Narnia, though with Edmund deserting to see the Witch.

Each young person is supplied an unique task as well as a wonderful device. Aslan makes substantial sacrifices to save Edmund. The excellent in addition to inadequate animals of the forest come to blows as well as being a fairy tale, there is a delighted closing.
This magazine really stimulated my creative thinking when I was a youngster. I simply take pleasure in the idea of a secret closet that brings about an added globe. I still do! Overview is committed to Mr. Lewis’ goddaughter Lucy. It has a look at as if your kindly godfather was informing you an excellent story. I take pleasure in the little asides by the storyteller. As a youngster, I did not recognize that the story occurred throughout WWII or that a number of kids were eliminated from London for their protection. Otherwise, the tale is as I kept in mind in addition to I believe the pictures coincide. This is a classic for an aspect. If you missed it in youth years, assessed it by yourself or share it with an one-of-a-kind young adult. It was gorgeous to take a look at Narnia again!Perhaps I lost on a crucial component of childhood years, nevertheless I did not have various fairy tale or magazines of fantastic stories in my life as a young youngster. Lewis has an outstanding capability to make this understandable as an expanded- up in addition to reasonable to a youngster. The depictions towards the real life (one does not safeguard himself in a closet!) in addition to the enchanting life of Narnia (… since that is just how beavers act) are exceptionally easy to connect to each various other – it’s as if you exist, comprehending the ways of Narnia, though you have actually never ever before been (in addition to regretfully, never ever will definitely be).
Noteworthy are the Christian depictions of this story, of what it resembles to reduce a program of disobedience with Edmund as he makes his technique with the cold to the witch’s castle, having fellowship among themselves at the table, in addition to Aslan’s utmost sacrifice, while being a being of massive power, allowed himself to be muzzled, beat, as well as eliminated by the hands of the witch. A Christian myself, I prepare for re- checking out the tale to understand upon Lewis’s much deeper yet fundamental stories of the life of children as well as beings if Narnia. C. S. Lewis – The Lion Audio Book Download. That being declared, if you are not Christian, the story does not truly reference Christianity a lot whatsoever, conserve calling the male youngsters “Kid of Adam” as well as likewise the women children “Kid of Eve”.

Last week, the latest trailer for Fast X dropped, and it was as over-the-top and delightful as was expected. One of the biggest parts of it was its villain: a gentleman known as Dante Reyes, played by Jason Momoa. It’s a bit of against-character casting, as Momoa tends to play badass good guys. But there’s something else shocking about the character, namely his connection to one of the previous entries.
As per ScreenRant, it’s been revealed that Momoa’s Dante Reyes isn’t just some anonymous hater of Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and “family.” Dante is the son of Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), the ruthless drug lord who at the end was executed by Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs.
Johnson, of course, is not in Fast X (nor its follow-up), as his real life beef with Diesel never got resolved. Still, clearly Dante is still mad at the whole gang, some of whom made off with a bank vault in the thrilling/ridiculous conclusion to Fast Five. The trailer even includes footage from that 12-year-old film, tying everything together.
So congrats, Jason Momoa! You join a tradition in Fast and Furious villains, some of whom have been blood relations of other characters. There’s Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw coming after the gang after they battled his brother, Luke Evans’ Owen Shaw, the villain of Fast & Furious 6. Then there’s F9, who turned out to be the brother of Dom and Jordana Brewster’s Mia.
Fast X hits theaters on May 19. You can watch the new trailer below.

I'm trying to connect my Acer desktop to a Zyxel router via ethernet. The problem is that the little icon in the taskbar for the internet connection keeps changing from "connecting" to "not connected" literally every 5 or 6 seconds - just goes round in a circle.
I've checked the ethernet cable - its not that
I've checked the router - its not that
I've updated, uninstalled and reinstalled the ethernet drivers - its not made a difference.
I'm out of ideas, can someone please help?
I take it you have checked the broadband is actually working?
Get the ISP to do a diagnostic/line test.
The router could just be dying. Everything will look fine, then it goes squiffy again.
Mine has been doing this at home. It just switches it's Wifi off at random, or I get errors when more than one machine wants to access another.
Does the desktop get an IP address at all? If it does but it keeps disconnecting it's probably a driver issue.
If no IP at all, what port on the router did you plug in to? Some multi functional devices have specific ports for other purposes.
What other functions does the router have? And does the PC have a fixed IP from the previous connection?
Brand Representative for Vembu Technologies
Does your laptop getting DHCP correctly, do check ipconfig /all, and verify GW IP shows your router local IP correctly. Do a continuous ping the GW IP, and check any request timed out. Also change the LAN port connection on router and recheck.Edited Jan 6, 2017 at 12:36 UTC
I would say there's something wrong with either the network card or the router.
It's obviously nothing to do with the ISP, as the LAN connection should work even if there is no access to the outside world.
Does it make any difference (better or worse) if you twist/move the cable?
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
I cant think that its the router as there are other things connected to it via ethernet and WiFi - all of which are working fine.
I'll check whether the thing is getting an IP address and also verify the DHCP.
Cant check it till later so watch this space!!
Thanks again guys
Just remembered: If the machine has had a Windows 10 upgrade try reverting the network driver back to an older Windows 7 one. That solved a similar problem on my Dell Inspiron which behaved similarly to yours.
Mine is happy now using a driver from 2006.
Jan 7, 2017 at 19:25 UTC
Some ideas to add:
Verify if the LED status light for connected stays solid while the computer is experiencing the issue
Try using a different Ethernet cable. Could be a seating issue
Try a different port that is known to be functioning correctly.
Update + flash the firmware on the router. This worked for a VPN connection issue at home
As it happens Clyshaw, I did notice that the ethernet status LED on the socket is not solid whilst the issue is occuring.
I've checked the DHCP, and the desktop has got an IP address.
I'm assuming it will be the ethernet card on the PC, as everything else thats connected is working fine!
Will try finding another card and using that.
Unless you guys have any other suggestions?

Fun! Except for a few major things...
I downloaded this game a couple days ago, and so far I'm really liking it! The dragons are cute, it's very fun breeding them to get new species, and again all the dragons are great. Though my only problem is regarding gems and how you need Facebook friends for things. For starters if they absolutely must link to social websites (notice I say must, since I find it annoying) then they should make it open to all social media and not just Facebook! Since people like me who don't have a Facebook and don't want one are playing this game, it's highly annoying that we can't acess things that would help us through the game. Also regarding gems, I'm finding it already very frustrating how you constantly need gems (that cost real money) to get dragons/do things. Like for example speeding up breeding, that without gems literally takes 22 hours! (Seriously that's how much time my new dragon egg says it's going to take to hatch) I think I speak for everyone when I say eventually nobody has the time, desire, patience and hell even the money to continue to play an app that keeps on requiring the use of real money to level/get things. Seriously make it easier to get gems in the game!! Or make it to where you can buy more dragons with just coins!!
This game is amazingly designed, and the graphics are perfect! The music is quite catchy too, lol. The only problem I have is that the gem-dragon prices are a little... High. And this morning, I redownloaded Dragon City on the original IPad, because now I mostly use our IPad 2 and my IPhone 5c, and when I pressed Install, it told me to download the latest compatible version- so I did. When the game was fully downloaded, I opened it- the first that happened was... Wait for it... CRASH. But I understand the reason for this, and the gem-dragon prices. (To get you to pay for gems- that's how they make money and keep the thing going!) Other than those problems, this game is addicting, fun, cute, and challenging!! But I do have a problem with some habitats, (Ice for example) because you have to invite friends in order to open it. That's a little silly... Wouldn't you agree? It's also not fair for people with no Facebook, and that drains the fun out of Dragon City.
Dragon city is reliable!
I love how their in game support is fairly quick to respond. I ask for a dragon that was lost due to some weird glitch. Boom! They got him back for me. The app and the browser version may have some differences. But they get around to making sure both fans are satisfied. The latest update is way fun. I love the board game of thrones parody. I also love that I previously was unable to use a few features. Didn't know that they were browser only. And made the request in the app. And next update they were available. Granted I still have more requests. But the technology will catch up. I deleted all my other app games because of my addiction to making silly purchases. But I never deleted dragon city. Or felt regret for any in game purchases. All well priced. Their goal is to get you to play. Yea some exclusive dragons cost a lot of gems and it's easy to spend the gems too. But not hard to earn. I wish more of my friends played.

Sunwater hack reported
Queensland water supplier Sunwater has suffered a cybersecurity breach that went undetected for months.
Sunwater says hackers gained access to its systems for up to nine months before being detected, allowing them to place files on a web server to redirect visitor traffic to an online video platform.
Sunwater gave details of the breach after it was mentioned in a Queensland Audit Office report into the state's water authorities.
The breach occurred between August 2020 and May 2021 and involved unauthorised access to parts of a server that stored customer information.
However, a spokesperson for the group said last week that no financial or customer data had been compromised and that it has improved security since the unauthorised access to its online content management system was detected.
“Sunwater takes cyber security very seriously and acknowledges the findings in the Queensland Audit Office report,” it said.
The audit office investigated six water authorities including Seqwater, Sunwater, Urban utilities, Unitywater, Gladstone Area Water Board and the Mount Isa Water Board.
It highlighted deficiencies in internal controls including those used for funds transfer payment information, calling for immediate action to fix “ongoing security weaknesses in information systems”.
A copy of the report and its recommendations is accessible here.

I find it a little odd that after a century of publications, continuations, and reinventions of L. Frank Baum’s ‘Oz’ world in literature, the realm has been explored so little on film. The 1939 classic version of The Wizard of Oz obviously towers over the rest of the franchise’s legacy, but the film only explored the tip of the iceberg, and subsequent cinematic attempts to dive deeper into Oz, like Return to Oz or The Wiz, haven’t exactly breathed new life into Baum’s world.
I still can’t say for sure whether or not Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful will be the project to finally crack Oz on film once more, but I really like what I see in this second trailer, released today and embedded below.
The footage is visually marvelous, first and foremost, making brilliant use of color and bursting with enticing design choices at every turn (check it out in HD over at Apple if you have the chance). The teaser trailer left me cold thanks to the abundance of CGI, but it looks like more work has been done between then and now, and the visuals meld much more seamlessly in this latest footage. So much of what Oz has to offer lies in the aesthetics, and if Raimi has achieved nothing else, it appears that he has indeed created a fully realized Oz vision on film, one that is bigger, bolder, and more fleshed out than anything we’ve seen before.
I’m less confident in the film’s ‘prequel’ structure, made obvious by the narrative thrust of the trailer. It really looks like Disney is intent on tying their film in with the 1939 classic, and while that makes total sense from a commercial standpoint, I don’t think it’s a creatively invigorating idea. Victor Fleming’s film is wonderful, but it’s only one (very loose) interpretation of what Baum wrote, and with a filmmaker like Sam Raimi on board, I’d rather see Oz: The Great and Powerful strike a distinct, original road for itself. It’s possible the final film will be its own beast entirely, but for now – especially with that final shot of the Wicked Witch – Disney is selling this as ‘MGM’s Wizard 0.5,” and I don’t know how much narrative interest I have in that story.
That being said, the cast looks great. James Franco as the wizard? Genius. Mila Kunis as female lead in a magical epic? What took Hollywood so long? Raimi has always been good with actors and character dynamics, and there are hints of nice character arcs and relationships on display here that could play out quite well in the final film.
Check out the full trailer below, and sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the preview.
Sorry, the video is currently unavailable.
Oz: The Great and Powerful arrives in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D theatres on March 8th, 2013.

I woke early as usual, pushed the covers from my feet so I could feel the cooler air on my toes and took a deep breath.
No sooner had my head lifted from my pillow I felt suffocated. Long lists began to tick away in my mind like a reel, a long paper reel spinning round and round. I shut it off for a moment while I dressed the boys. I was there in the moment but not for long enough to hear my eldest boy making his baby brother laugh, I heard it but I didn’t hear it you know – it was just a noise.
A mess inside my head, a mess I couldn’t organise into piles or tidy up in a corner. It was just there blocking everything else out or at least making everything look and feel like a dull haze.
It is no good I thought as I sipped my coffee. Today has to be a good day. So with that I left the house leaving washing up from the night before, laundry mountains and play mobile pieces creating plastic nests everywhere.
I packed a bag of books, one for Francis one for Wilbur and one for myself with intentions of taking book club outside on the picnic rug.
I talked to the boys all the way to the green, I was there again in real life with no distractions . I told Francis about blossom trees and spring time.
Our picnic rug was crumpled in places piled with various blankets I found in the house
some had food stains on from our last picnic outing and some a little musty. Books, food and coffee for me.
There was nothing better than right now. We chased happiness and we found it.
It felt like a secret between best friends.
An unopened letter.
Fresh bed linen, summer skin, hot tea in a china cup.
Could I keep this moment? I thought to myself or should I remind myself these moments are there to be touched I need only to reach out and grab them. Hold them tightly.
Being overwhelmed doesn’t define your day it doesn’t have to be a bad day after all, sometimes you just have to chase happiness and you might find it somewhere you least expect.
When I found my happy place I breathed it in. I noticed detail like the way the light caught the golden shades in Wilbur’s whispy hair and how it almost looked strawberry blonde under the sun. How the blossom looked particularly pretty in the afternoon light and how lovely it felt to feel my sons’s hands in mine.

A Florida couple kept an adopted teen locked in the garage. Their lawyer says they had no choice
Behind a perpetually closed garage door at the end of a cul-de-sac in Jupiter's Egret Landing neighborhood, Timothy and Tracy Ferriter hid a secret.
KATHERINE KOKAL | Palm Beach Post
JUPITER — Behind a perpetually closed garage door at the end of a cul-de-sac in Jupiter's Egret Landing neighborhood, Timothy and Tracy Ferriter hid a secret.
It was an 8-by-8-foot room that could be unlocked only from the outside. The couple kept their 14-year-old adopted teen there for up to 18 hours at a time, according to interviews town police officers did with the teen and their three siblings.
A twin-sized bed stood opposite a desk in the windowless room, with an air-conditioning unit in one wall and a light placed above. A Home Depot bucket sat in the corner for the teen to use as a bathroom.
A small camera captured the teen's movements as they did their homework and slept in the room. The teen spent their days in the family's garage — Christmas decorations and basketballs were stored just feet away.
The Ferriters' secret became international news in February, after the teen ran away and police found the child on the grounds of a nearby middle school – and then charged the adult Ferriters with aggravated child abuse, a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison, and false imprisonment. Both have pleaded not guilty.
The Palm Beach Post is not identifying the teen by name or gender, but public records and court proceedings offer clues to what life was like inside the one-story house on Crane Point North: The Ferriter teen said they endured constant surveillance and both physical and verbal assault from their parents while their siblings were spared.
Timothy and Tracy Ferriter have made no public statements since their arrests Feb. 8, but they have hired West Palm Beach criminal defense attorney Nellie King, a past president of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, to represent them.
King has cast doubt on evidence obtained by the Florida Department of Children and Families in its investigation, pressured the Jupiter Police Department to turn over hundreds of hours of video footage from the room's camera and suggested that police didn't take the child's behavior — which she described as violent and escalating — into account when arresting the couple.
"There are a number of issues you do not know involving (the teen)," King wrote to Jupiter police on behalf of her clients.
Those issues, King said in the letter, included the teen torturing animals, injuring their parents and bringing knives and weapons to school.
Now, the teen and the Ferriters' three other children are in DCF's custody while their parents await trial, charged with a crime at odds with a neighborhood dotted by children's tree swings and basketball hoops.
How does Florida's adoption system support, or fail, families?
The emergence of details in the Ferriters' case raises questions about how Florida's adoption system, which is designed to over-prepare adoptive families to welcome a new child, can allow abuse to fester.
The system requires parents to complete a 10-step training process that includes background checks and a home study. The process is so grueling that some counselors credit it with discouraging people from adopting altogether because they don't feel prepared.
Sealed adoption records ensure that few details about how a child changes hands are available to the public, the child or, in some cases, the family. For the Ferriters, it's unlikely the teen's adoption records will be unsealed unless King or some other attorney finds it beneficial to their case and convinces a judge to open them.
Attorneys and adoption counselors who work in Floridasaid the state's adoption system allows children with mental illnesses to fall through the cracks once their birth parents' rights are terminated.
"When you adopt a child, that’s your kid. There’s no one to tell you what to do. There’s no one to be the boss," said Kevin Slack, anadoption counselor who works with families in Florida and North Carolina. "You’re stuck on your own trying to figure this out."

Forest Service wants to thin trees in NM
Proposal to do massive thinning in Jemez
As several wildfires continue raging across New Mexico's forests, federal forestry officials have a plan to help, but it's expensive and, in some respects, unpopular.
Officials with the Santa Fe National Forest say right now the forests are crowded with so many trees, fires have a great amount of fuel. That's creating more massive, intense and dangerous fires than ever before.
That's why forestry officials want to thin the forests. That means cutting down trees and branches. It also means in some cases intentionally burning parts of the forest, but on their own terms instead of the wildfire's terms.
Crews are working on a $35 million proposal to thin timber on 210,000 acres in the Jemez Mountains. The plan is to get public input this fall and then start thinning by next summer, hoping to prevent such fast-moving and devastating fires.

I am a scientist and also an artist. In 2002 I began
attending life classes with Damian Callan, at his studios in
Edinburgh, which he refers to as ‘The University of Dalry’.
I concentrated at first on the figure drawn from life. The
human figure, in particular the moving figure, is Damian’s
area of excellence and he was an inspiring teacher. I had
a toddler and baby back then, and I could spend my days
watching their chubby limbs, animated expressions and
acres of perfect skin.
The depth concentration I achieved in those classes, was
in stark contrast to the chaos of being a hands-on mum
to two little ones. I loved it. Later, after attending courses
on landscape and cityscapes in 2006, I concentrated on
those areas and left figurative art behind for three years.
I started to work as a professional artist and Damian
became my mentor.
In 2009, I came back to working with the human figure,
but I found I wanted the complexity of the figure in
motion and with the environment. I started painting
fishermen at Port Seton, then ice-skaters at Murrayfield
ice-rink, and finally board divers.
I’ve had a fascination with the beauty of board diving for
some time. The shapes the divers hit at the apex of their
dive are a delight to behold. They last just a fraction of a
second, but they feel, like art itself, an ephemeral
moment of perfection.
Edinburgh Diving Club is a top diving club with young
athletes competing at international level. Whilst the
Edinburgh Commonwealth Pool was being refurbished,
they trained in a small pool close to where I live. I went
to watch them one day in 2010, and found myself signing
up my kids (then aged 11 and 8) and myself, for classes.
We dived with the club for a year.
The old pool in Newbattle had very limited diving
facilities: only two boards for the whole club and a dark-
stained, low ceiling. Sometimes the best young divers
bounced so high before a dive, that they could touch the
ceiling. The divers never complained about the limited
facilities. They just got on with it. They were a great
bunch of athletes, always kind and encouraging with our
The main club trainers Vicki Tomlinson and Mary Sless,
ran a tight ship. They watched every dive performed in
training, giving individual feedback on each dive. They
didn’t allow misbehaviour poolside, but stayed tolerant
of the good-natured playing that takes place: the
youngest boys sometimes played in and out of the water
with ease of seals by the shore.
I watched my children as they overcame various hurdles
under Mary’s guidance: prior to diving lessons, my 8-
year-old could not swim confidently, add to that her fear
of heights, and you will appreciate that when she finally
executed a lovely dive from the 1 meter board, I felt like I
was watching a miracle.
Divers were encouraged regardless of their age, level or
potential. Some dived for the joy of it, or for the
friendships they had made: one pair of girls met up every
Friday night to dive together, and then putting on their
pyjamas in the changing room, would head off for a sleep
over. All the divers encouraged each other, falling silent in
sympathetic concentration when someone was about to
try something new and difficult. Blasting out wolf-
whistles when they managed it.
Some of the divers at this Scottish club were heading
towards big things: Grace Reid (who was the youngest
Scottish competitor at the 2010 Commonwealth games),
James Heatly and Amber Foster, to name but three. Will
any of them make into the 2012 Olympics? We will have
to see. They will surely be at the 2014 Commonwealth
games (the diving will be held in Edinburgh
The club, it seemed, could teach anyone to dive. Even
myself at 39, older adults too, with no previous
experience. If you have never dived as a child, you will
never make a perfect fluid dive, but still we all tried.
Everyone was accepted and inspired to push themselves.
Surely this is the essence of what makes sport great?
I was fascinated by how one minute the divers would be
laughing and playing with each other in the queue, and
the next minute they would be poised at the end of the
board, in the rapt concentration that is required just
before a dive. I watched enthralled as my own children
developed the discipline of intense concentration just
prior to a dive.
The moment just before a dive became a real focus for me. When I stood on the end of the board, I thought only
of the dive: everything else fell away. I would imagine all the movements and positions of the dive. If I
concentrated perfectly, I could do as a good dive as I had imagined. If I let my concentration slip, even slightly, I
would fall apart mid-air, the sore slap-sound I hit the water alerting the other divers to my terrible dive. I felt that
everything needed to create the perfect dive was contained in that moment before; it held a tension and a purity
of concentration that I found exhilarating. I wanted to paint it.
The club embraced the idea of me painting the divers. They understood about how beautiful diving was and how
it can’t always be captured by a photograph. The parents of young divers also liked the idea, giving myself and
Damian permission to work with their children whilst they were in training. We set to work.
My paintings were influenced by the local pool and its dark-stained wooden ceiling. The diver’s bright, golden
flight, framed by this dark background, got me researching the paintings of Rembrandt and his use of
transparent glazes. Whilst completing preparatory sketches, the illustrator Dave McKean became a big influence:
I wanted in my paintings to have some of the immediacy of the gothic, glowing illustrations he painted for Neil
Gaiman’s book ‘The day I swopped my dad for two goldfish’.
I hope I have captured what it is like to focus and train for a great sport. All the concentration, precision and
devotion that is necessary to create a single moment of perfection.

TASTING AND CONSULTATION
Since our cake studio is closed to the public, all tastings and consultations are by appointment only. Cake consultations are throughout the week and can start as early as 10am. Tastings are $35.00 and pre-paid, limited to 4 people. If your order exceeds $400, 50% of the tasting fee will be applied back to the cake order. Most consultations last between 40 minutes to an hour. You are able to sample 3 cakes, 2 frostings, and 2 fillings of your choice! Think of it as a deconstructive tasting - you make your own cake flavor!
Celebration cakes and petite sweet orders must be pre-paid in full. Weddings or large events are given a payment plan: 50% non-refundable deposit is required to hold your date and the remaining balance is due two weeks prior to your order date. If you're in need of a three to five month payment plan, please let us know.
Payments taken: Personal Check, Venmo, or Cash
We understand life happens and you may need to cancel or postpone your order. We require two weeks notice to cancel an order and receive a full refund. Orders cancelled one week out are given 50% refund or you may change the date of your order. Any order cancelled the week of will receive no refund. Note that regardless of the cancellation date, the 50% deposit is always non-refundable.
There is a minimum delivery fee of $50 and this covers any location located within the 610 loop. If you're located outside the loop, the cost of delivery is $1.50/per mile, round-trip, between the event and the bakery (77055). The distance will be determined by the shortest route as calculated by Google maps with tolls.
CAke Stand Rentals
Whisk offers a large selection of cake stands for rent. Our rentals are $35 each. In addition to the rental fee, there is a security deposit that will be returned in full once the cake stands are returned in the same condition. All stands must be returned within 4 days unless other arrangements have been made.
Working in the event industry has it's perks! I have worked with dozens of vendors for birthday's, weddings, and corporate parties. Throughout the years I have made many friendors (friend + vendor) and learned a lot from them. I would love nothing more to share my list of preferred vendors. Please reach out if you would like the list!
Wedding tradition is to save the top tier of your wedding cake, freeze it for a year, and eat it on your one year anniversary. For me, I would rather start a new tradition. It's called eat fresh cake! All Whisk wedding clients are given the opportunity to pick up a complimentary 4" anniversary cake on their wedding month. This way you can enjoy fresh cake on your first anniversary instead of freezer burn!
Cakes are best to be eaten within three to four days at room temperature. If your cake contains a dairy product, such a cream cheese - lemon cream - chantilly cream, you must refrigerate the cake. I recommend placing the cake in a tightly sealed container or the to-go box and plastic wrap the box. Personally, I love heating my cake up and eating it with a glass of milk.
Cookies can last up to four days. For best results, place the cookies in a air tight container with a slice of bread. Replace bread when it becomes hard. Brownies can last up to five days if placed in the fridge but understand they will become slightly dry. No worries though, heat the brownies up and they are back to gooey chocolate! Dessert cups should be eaten within two days for freshness. Please keep them refrigerated in a sealed container too.


The Sculpture Garden, a former parking lot, opened May 15, 1990 with its first exhibition featuring four large steel sculptures created by then adjunct faculty member, Edward McCullough, entitled the ‘Elegy Series’. McCullough spent seven years working the ten-part series, inspired by the poem cycle “The Duino Elegies” by German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Subsequent installations highlighted other regional artists and more permanent work was installed in the early 2000s.
Openlands, an organization that works to protect the natural and open spaces of northeastern Illinois, worked with Columbia College Chicago from 2005 until 2008 to convert this space with native Illinois plantings.
