I wake up at 8:30 on a Sunday morning, the smell of waffles fill the house. I walk downstairs, my mom by the stove. The table is made all nice and my favorite breakfast is being made. My mom is probably doing all of this because we just moved. All new town, all new people, all to get away from my mom’s brother Lucas, who went insane from drugs or alcohol. My mom never gave me all of the details. All I know is he attempted to kill someone before or did kill someone before, I’m not fully sure. I get ready for the day, and me and my mom head out.
We get to church at 9:45, 15 minutes before it starts. We meet all of the new people, except for my grandma, she is the only familiar person in this new town. The service starts and doesn’t end until 11:15, slightly later than it is supposed to. We go to brunch with my grandma at this restaurant she says is really good, but all she got was oatmeal and coffee, practically the best stuff to get there. After we eat we say bye to my grandma and go back to our car. I get in the car but my mom pauses and looks at a man across the street. Then she gets in and we go on a few errands.
First we go to the store to get some groceries and my mom pauses again before getting out of the car, like a deer when it hears footsteps. Then she gets out of the car and we go into the store. She stays silent so I don’t say anything either. We end up getting home after the errands at around 1:00, so I decide to do some homework that my teachers gave me over the weekend, around an hour later my mom brings a snack up to my room, and acts all normal again, as if the house made her feel less tense, but I don’t know, maybe she just realized there was no reason to be worried. She tries to help me with my homework a little bit, but it ends up being me helping her understand my homework. After dinner though, that all changes.
At around 8:00, I hear footsteps out in the backyard, I just assume it’s a racoon or something, until I hear my mom let out a shriek of sheer terror. I run halfway down the steps before I hear it. A loud crash followed by more screaming, the window breaking.
“Becky!” a man’s voice shouts.
“Lucas!” my mom screams back.
Suddenly everything happens so quick. Boom! Gunshot. Boom! Gunshot. I bolt toward the front door, trying not to let him see me. It doesn’t work. I make it out the door, but so does he. I keep running, and running, and running, like a child after an ice cream truck. I hear laughing falling farther and farther behind me. I don’t turn back, knowing if I do he will catch up with me. I eventually run into the woods, falling to the ground. He hit my arm slightly, but not too bad. I suddenly start sobbing, knowing I won’t see my mom again. I peak out from a tree, and see him, walking down the street yelling my name. I don’t know how he knows it. It’s him, the man my mom stared at when we left the diner. Fear swells inside me. Is there someone else with him? Has he been stalking me and my mom? How did he get out of prison? How did he find us?
I check my watch. 8:05 PM. This all happened in 5 minutes. 5 minutes. It only took 5 minutes. What felt like hours waiting in the woods, it had been 5 minutes. When he is out of sight, I run to my grandma’s house, hoping he didn’t get to her. She opens the door, looking like she just woke up, which she most likely did. I try to tell her what had happened, through all of the sobbing. She calls the police, and we drive near my house to wait for them, not going directly to it in case Lucas is still there. The police arrive and find my mom unconscious but still alive. We go with her to the hospital, and a few days later she wakes up, and she starts immediately sobbing. We do too. We just all sit there crying. Then, a police officer comes in, telling us that Lucas has been put into custody, and the sobbing changes to smiling, knowing my family is back together. I can’t believe on a normal Sunday, in a small town, in five minutes, my life almost changed forever.

Egypt's economy is forecasted to grow 3.9 percent by the end of 2017 and will be largely driven by public investment and net exports, according to a World Bank report issued earlier this week.
GDP growth this year is reported to be slower, down from an estimated 4.3 percent in the same period last year. The World Bank predicts Egypt’s economic growth will accelerate to 4.6 percent in 2018, and to 5.4 percent in 2019.
“Growth was constrained by severe shortages in hard currency, an overvalued exchange rate and sluggish growth in Europe, Egypt’s main trading partner,” said the report.
It added that key sectors, like tourism and the oil and gas industry, continue to experience negative growth due to under investments and arrears.
Egypt's currency peg, combined with a decline in foreign investment and tourism after the January 2011 Uprising, drained the central bank's foreign reserves, forcing it to ration dollars and impose capital controls before the flotation.
According to the World Bank report, foreign direct investment inflows increased to $1.9 billion, up from $1.4 billion the previous year after Egypt signed a $12 billion three-year loan program with the International Monetary Fund. The program calls for aggressive economic reforms, including energy price increases and the introduction of value-added tax.
Furthermore, the report shows that currency weakening has led to a sharp rise in inflation, which reached its highest recorded level of 30.2 percent in February 2017. High inflation has consequently contributed to the aggravation of social conditions, given high unemployment rates reported as 12.6 percent in 2016, the report said.
The World Bank estimates inflation to reach 14.2 percent in 2018, from 20.1 percent in 2017, further easing to 11.3 percent in 2019.
“The recently adopted reform program involves efforts to improve social safety nets, notably through the partial reallocation of freed-up resources from reduced energy and food subsidies; the expansion of cash transfer programs; and an increase in the general pension budget by 15 percent. Nonetheless, the mitigation of recent adverse shocks will continue to depend on an effective targeting mechanism,” the World Bank report said.
Egypt’s fiscal deficit is expected to narrow to 10.5 percent in fiscal year 2017 (FY17), depending on the government’s commitment and ability to sustain its fiscal consolidation plan. With the VAT’s implementation and efforts to improve tax collection, revenues are expected to improve, while expenditures will continue to be contained.
The report shows that the current account deficit is expected to start improving in FY17, supported by a positive exchange rate effect and an increase in remittances transferred through formal channels.
“In the near term, high inflation is likely to have negative short-term effects on households. Current efforts to improve targeting in the food smartcard program could provide additional resources for an improved safety net,” the report added.
Nevertheless, the report mentions that “policy slippage and absence of real-sector reforms” can negatively impact the anticipated economic recovery.
“Deteriorating security risks can adversely affect the recovery of the tourism sector, traditionally a main source of revenue and foreign currency, resources from fuel subsidy reform to be allocated to social programs may be lower than expected due to currency depreciation, and high unemployment may lower households’ ability to improve their living conditions,” according to the report.

This Citizens Guide explains how the OCE works and where it fits in the structure of government ethics enforcement.
Government ethics rules exist to promote and enforce the proper conduct of public officials and to maintain public confidence in government. All three branches of the federal government have offices that oversee the ethical conduct of elected officials, officers, and employees. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics covers the executive branch; the Judicial Conference’s Code of Conduct and its Committee on Codes of Conduct cover the judicial branch.
In Congress, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have separate ethics rules and enforcement mechanisms. The Senate Select Committee on Ethics deals with ethics matters there. In the House, the Committee on Ethics and the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) have responsibility regarding alleged ethical violations by House Members, officers, and employees. The OCE is a non-partisan, independent entity established by the House in 2008 to conduct initial reviews of allegations of misconduct and, when warranted, refer matters to the Committee on Ethics, which has exclusive jurisdiction to find violations and impose punishment. The Committee on Ethics can also initiate its own investigation without a referral from OCE.
The House Committee on Ethics is a standing committee of the House and has authority over the interpretation, administration, and enforcement of the Code of Official Conduct for the House of Representatives. The Committee educates Members, officers, and congressional staff on House ethics rules and has the responsibility to investigate and sanction violations of these rules. The Committee accepts complaints about Members only from other Members. The membership of the Committee on Ethics is divided evenly by party, with five Republicans, including the Chair, and five Democrats. The rules and procedures governing the work of the Committee are public.
The OCE is an independent, non-partisan entity charged with reviewing allegations of misconduct against Members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives, and referring matters to the House Committee on Ethics when the OCE Board determines such review is warranted. Members of the OCE’s eight-person Board of Directors must authorize each stage of the OCE investigative process and ultimately decide whether to recommend that the House Committee on Ethics review a matter or dismiss it. Board members are private citizens, cannot work as lobbyists or be employed by the federal government and must agree not to run for federal office.
The Board includes six voting members and two alternates. The Speaker of the House appoints three members and an alternate, designating one Board member as Chairman. The minority leader appoints three members and an alternate, and designates one Board member as Co-chairman. The Speaker and the minority leader each must agree on the other’s appointments.
The OCE staff consists primarily of lawyers and other professionals with expertise in ethics law and investigations. The OCE staff is impartial in its investigations and collects all relevant evidence, whether it proves or disproves an allegation of misconduct. OCE’s professional staff and Board are governed by a strict code of conduct to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and ethical standards. Those rules can be found here.
The OCE has jurisdiction to investigate any alleged violation of a “law, rule, regulation, or other standard of conduct” committed by a “Member, officer, or employee of the House” on or after March 11, 2008. Information about alleged violations comes to the Board from a range of sources, including the public. After completing the time allowed for its investigation, the OCE Board decides what to recommend to the Committee on Ethics: further review or dismissal. The Committee on Ethics then decides whether to conduct further investigation, impose sanctions, or dismiss the matter. Except when the OCE board recommends dismissal, the Committee must eventually release the OCE’s report and findings.
There are two stages in the investigative review process: a preliminary review, and a second-phase review; the Board must authorize each stage of the OCE investigative review process. At the end of each stage, the Board must vote to decide whether to proceed to the next phase of review or dismiss the matter. The preliminary review is limited to 30 days, during which the OCE staff investigates whether a violation may have occurred. A second-phase review is initially limited to 45 days, with the option for the Board to extend it by an additional 14 days. At any point during the preliminary review, four members of the Board may vote to terminate a review.
The OCE’s non-partisan staff obtains evidence and testimony through interviews and document requests. All evidence received and interviews conducted by the OCE staff are subject to the False Statements Act, which provides for criminal penalties when witnesses falsify evidence or make false statements during a federal government investigation.
The OCE provides notice to the subject of a review at each stage of the review process. If the Board authorizes a preliminary review, the subject of the review is notified and provided with a statement of the nature of the review. The OCE also gives notice to the subject if the Board decides to initiate a second-phase review. Once the Board votes on its referral to the Committee on Ethics, the subject of the review receives notice of the Board’s recommendation. If the Board votes to terminate an active preliminary, the subject of the review is notified of this decision.
At the end of the second-phase review, the Board considers a staff report presenting all the evidence and determines if there is a “substantial reason to believe” that the violation may have occurred. According to the OCE’s Rules, a substantial reason to believe exists when “there is such relevant evidence a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.” If four members agree, the Board may adopt a report that refers the matter to the Committee on Ethics for further review or, alternatively, recommends that the Committee dismiss the matter. In the case of a tie vote, the Board may send the final report to the Committee with the matter unresolved. The Board may also decide that information about the allegations should be referred to another government commission, office, or authority for appropriate action.
The report includes the identity of the subject, the nature of the allegation, and the number of votes in favor and opposed. Separate from the report, the Board may also include findings of fact, a description of information that the OCE could not obtain, a recommendation for the use of subpoenas, and citations to relevant law, rules, regulations, or standards or conduct. A copy of the report is also provided to the subject of the review.
The OCE operates under strict confidentiality rules. All information obtained during investigations is confidential unless and until the Committee on Ethics releases an OCE report to the public. The OCE does not make public statements identifying the subjects of its ongoing investigations. The OCE staff does not identify the subject of an investigation when contacting third-party witnesses.
Except in very limited circumstances, the Committee on Ethics must eventually release the OCE’s report and findings. Public release is required within 45 days, unless the Committee votes to extend this period by an additional 45days. The release of the report and findings can also be delayed if the Committee decides to create an investigative subcommittee to investigate the matter. In that case, the OCE report must still be released within a year. If the Board recommends dismissal and the Committee also votes to dismiss the matter, the report does not have to be made public. Release of an OCE report may also be delayed when a law enforcement authority that is taking action in the matter requests that the Committee defer the public release. If a referral is released, it is posted on the OCE’s website here.
The OCE accepts submissions from the public about alleged violations of ethics rules and laws by Members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives. A submission only prompts a preliminary review if it describes a violation that is within the jurisdiction of OCE and the OCE Board determines if there is sufficient basis to authorize a preliminary review. Pursuant to House Rules, all investigations are confidential and the OCE does not comment regarding any pending investigation. Information on what should be included in a submission to the OCE is outlined here.

best heavy duty kitchen towels in the world.
I adore this stuff. I wash and dry it a couple of times and then hem the cut edges. Side edges are already finished with the delightful little ruffle. With use and washing, they will soften. Make some natural medium weight dish towels to pair them with. Makes a great wedding or shower gift.
A very unique linen! I've purchased many canvas weight linens (even a few from here) and this is the most natural nubby linen I've seen. Its got a gorgeous texture out of thr package but has a strong odor from the flax stripping so it needs to be washed. After a hot wash/dry it wrinkles incredibly but can be smoothed back out with a lot of water, steam, pressure, and patience. I love how unique it is but not sure what I'll use it for yet...love the other reviers bag!!!
This linen certainly has a unique character!
Yes, it is narrow, but it's also inexpensive. I ordered a doggie bag piece to play around with. After a hot wash and dry and ironing, I was very pleased with the feel. It has that wonderful linen smooth nubbiness-- textured but not scratchy. I planned to make a tote bag and miscalculated, so I ended up covering a small throw pillow instead. I love touching this stuff! I have enough left to cover a second pillow. I'm very please with it.
My feelings about this linen have grown from uncertainty to fascination. Yes, it does shrink a lot, yes the selvages pucker, but this fabric has such an immediate visual and tactical impact, I've fallen in love with it. I decided to leave it in its washed, puckered-edge state and just fringe the ends. It's rustic, textured, and draws the eye immediately. LOVE IT! The biggest drawback is the cost of postage because of its weight per yard.
I should have read the description more closely. I hadn't realized it was quite so very narrow. After washing it's 16 inches across. It is very natural, came to me smelling of hay; well, probably flax, but I don't know what that smells like. After a few washes it shrank down considerably to a nice nubby texture, some of it definitely shrank more than others. It will never lie flat. It's still very stretchy. Completely unusable for lining. After washing it is an interesting piece of cloth. I think I'll use it to make napkins. It's very soft with a fun texture.
I received this today, washed it twice in hot water, then tossed it in the dryer. It shrank at least 10%, but selvedge didn't shrink as much as the fabric, which left the selvedge edges puckered, despite my best effort with a hot iron. Not happy about that. Initially I planned to make dish towels (I did not read the description carefully. It states that it is canvas weight), but it is far too stiff and heavy for that use. Now I'm thinking of table runners or placements. Honestly, I can't decide how I feel about this piece of linen. It is quite beautifully and ruggedly rustic. I think it's like broccoli, you'll either love it or hate it. Once I've figured out what to do with it, I'll update to let you know my decision!
The other reviewers weren't kidding- this has some serious wrinkling after a hot wash/dry cycle (which is necessary due to the natural flax canavas smell & texture). The area underneath has been sprayed with water & then steam ironed with my rowenta - even on high heat it takes some time and pressure to get it flatted out.
Here is the tote closeup for texture..
After being washed twice in hot water and dried on medium heat, there was shrinkage in both length and width.The fabric became soft but sturdy, like cotton bark cloth. I made a tote bag from 2 yards of IL073, using the entire width of the fabric. I lined it with IL019 Vineyard Green. Here are a couple of photos to show the texture. The photos are taken late in the day plus it is overcast, so the color is more grey than the actual fabric. The fabric has a pleasant texture, rugged but not rough.

Lutheran World Relief began working in Indonesia following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, addressing both emergency and long-term development needs.
Indonesia remains one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, with millions of people often affected by earthquakes, landslides, floods and tsunamis. We build community resilience through improving livelihoods, food security, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction. We currently work in the provinces of Aceh, Bali and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT).
In Indonesia, our experienced staff and partners develop and implement programs that create linkages along value chains — especially coffee and cocoa — that benefit smallholder farming families. We work alongside communities to help farmers adopt climate-smart sustainable solutions, so they can maximize crop yield and quality.
We also help farmers organize and join producer associations, so they are better able access to credit, enter more lucrative markets, and collectively purchase farm inputs and market crops. To promote gender inclusion, we encourage women’s participation, including contributing to decision making, on both the family farm and in farmer cooperatives and groups.
Indonesia is especially vulnerable to natural disasters such as severe storms, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes. We work with community institutions — including schools, government offices and health facilities — to develop disaster risk management plans and empower communities to respond to disasters in coordinated and organized ways. We engage directly with local populations at each step in this process, so that communities are leading their own efforts to reduce vulnerability.
In the aftermath of a disaster, Lutheran World Relief provides immediate aid — like food, water household essentials, shelter construction materials and support for livelihood recovery.
Learn more about Lutheran World Relief in Indonesia.
Lutheran World Relief is working to increase the management and service provision capacity of coffee and cocoa cooperatives in Bali and Flores. We are helping these cooperatives improve their members' coffee and cocoa quality as well as access financial services and markets.

New Mexico’s medical cannabis industry is about to get bigger, though it’s unclear by how much.
The state’s health department has chosen 17 finalists out of 86 applicants for new MMJ producer licenses, according to The Associated Press.
There’s no word yet on how many of those 17 will actually be awarded licenses. But Retta Ward, New Mexico’s secretary of health, is expected to make a decision on the matter within the next 30 days, the AP reported.
At the beginning of the year, there were 24 nonprofit dispensaries and 23 licensed producers in the entire state (licensees are allowed to run more than one dispensary).
Some of the factors that played into officials’ decision when culling the field of applicants included plans for security, production, quality assurance, sales and distribution, and agricultural experience.

Looking for even more style... +Bling! ???
I shot a gun for the first time in January 2004. You see, there was this guy I really, really liked. He was into shooting and said he would show me how. I was terrified, but said yes because I really wanted to impress him with how tough I was.
At the range, he laid out a variety of guns before me – even though he patiently explained what each one was and what types of bullets it shot – it all went in one earmuffed protected ear and out the other. All I gleaned was there were semi-automatic and revolvers. I liked the revolvers more.
In August of that year, my friend asked me out on our first real date. It was a great first date, the kind of night that you know is the start of something really special and someday you will tell your grandkids about.
Stylish fabrics, lots of color choices and Swarovski crystals...what's not to love?

Read the reviews out loud to students. After one to two minutes, draw students' attentions back to you and begin by writing the title and author of the story at the top of the chart paper. Ask students to raise their hand if they have ever read a movie review before. Optional: If students need more time and exposure to writing, build that time in and share peer reviews for examples. To begin today's lesson, I will take a few minutes to have students share some of the similarities and differences they found between the novel and the film during.

The film explores a number of Shakespearean themes and provides a generally insightful look into a hypothetical late 16th century Europe. You may need to prompt or help partners as they work on their revisions with their peers.

Use formative assessment, body language, and level of interest as an indicator for time needed.
The paper will argue that despite its lukewarm critical reception, Ghost succeeds as a film on the basis of its simple plot, emotion-filled performances, and supernatural sentimentality. Listen to the first review. Next ask students to share some suggestions for improving the review. If the author says a character is not believable, demonstrate a scene where the actor has important lines. After the student has finished reading, respond by offering a positive comment, and then model how to use the to evaluate the book review. Finally, they select a scene from the book that they think wasn't well represented in the movie and adapt it for a readers theater performance.
Informally, you can assess what was retained from the last lesson. Collect all of the student reviews. In turn, I hope that other teachers would share their great handouts, rubrics, and lessons they have created to make all our lives a little bit easier. Help students create a catchy beginning, keep to the main points of the story, and refer to the list of book review features. First, choose a student to role-play along with you and sit facing each other.

The Health and Other Service Personnel Trade Union of South Africa (Hospersa) has raised concerns with the South African African Nursing Council (SANC) over its decision to cancel Bridging Course examinations due to alleged leaking of the exam paper. The Union has taken the Council to task over its handling of the matter whereby learners are expected to re-write an examination at short notice.
On 20 June 2017, Hospersa wrote to the SANC regarding the Council’s Circular 2/2017 on the cancellation of the Bridging Course for Enrolled Nurses leading to registration as General/Psychiatric Nurse. In the letter, the Union criticised the Council’s decision to cancel the examination and demanded a report on the extent of the alleged breach. The SANC circular, dated 12 June 2017, had communicated that while investigations were ongoing, the first year examinations for the Bridging Course written on 5 and 8 May 2017 are now null and void and learners would have to re-write the examination on 28 and 30 June 2017.
“The Council’s decision to cancel these examinations was not thought through,” said Hospersa General Secretary Noel Desfontaines. “To order a re-write of an examination at such short notice will place untold and undue stresses on the learners from both a financial and workplace aspect. Some learners may not even be timeously advised of the re-write,” argued Desfontaines.
The Council has since responded to the Union’s letter citing that the alleged breach undermines the credibility of the results. It remained firm on its decision to order a re-write even in light of the short time allocated for learners to prepare.
“Hospersa is concerned by this response and holds a strong view that learners will not have enough time to prepare. We have briefed our legal counsel with a view to obtaining an urgent interdict in the High Court to halt the examination,” said Desfontaines.
“Our counsel has advised us that we have a strong case for success, yet the decision to grant our application still rests with the judge. In the interim, we urge our members to prepare for the examinations should the application be unsuccessful, in that instance we will look to explore other available avenues to challenge the Council’s decision,” concluded Desfontaines.

The head of the District of Columbia agency that builds and manages government property has stepped down citing personal reasons.
The Washington Post reports Department of General Services Director Christopher Weaver, a retired Navy rear admiral, resigned effective Friday.
Greer Johnson Gillis, previously a deputy director in the Department of Transportation, is the agency's interim leader.
DGS has come under fire in recent months for its initial plan for homeless shelters to replace the former D.C. General Hospital. Some parents and pediatricians had also criticized the agency for what they said was inadequate led testing in schools and other facilities.
Gillis has worked in transportation planning for more than 20 years. She has a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in civil engineering from Atlanta's Georgia Institute of Technology.

The rich volcanic and glacial soil deposits of the Willamette Valley are irrigated by a splendid river system and tilled by farmers who raise everything from goats to hazelnuts. These farmers make Oregon the seventh-best state in terms of the availability and consumption of local foods, well ahead of neighboring California and Washington. The people of Oregon have access to an exceptional variety of local foods and take great pride in eating local, to the point that the comedy series “Portlandia” made a sketch about it.
And Oregonians aren’t alone. Since Oxford University Press proclaimed “locavore” the 2007 word of the year, the local food scene has exploded in communities around the world. Chefs cited locally sourced foods as the top menu trend of 2016, and local food sales are expected to nearly double from 2014 to 2019, topping US$20 billion.
These aren’t just people who like to eat local. Locavorism comes complete with a set of strongly held core values and beliefs.
Notably, locavores support local food communities wherever they happen to be. A locavore on vacation in Orlando might venture out to taste one of Florida’s many locally grown tropical fruits such as papaya.
And somewhat unexpectedly, our research shows that locavores do not care whether local foods are sold by large corporate retailers, so long as the “local” claim can be trusted. It’s the localness that matters most.
Locavores want all of their food, even boring granola, to be locally sourced. And these aren’t just gourmet foodies with sophisticated palettes.
Given the importance of “local” to locavores, what it means matters. But the definition can vary.
Some might think of local foods as those produced within one’s city, state or region. Others might focus solely on the physical distance between production and consumption. Both perspectives are valid and are manifest in the food industry.
For the purposes of farm lending programs, the federal government defines a food as local if it hasn’t moved more than 400 miles from where it was grown. Yet most consumers tend to think of local as within 100 miles or their state’s borders. The variety of definitions may be why characters in a “Portlandia” sketch opted not to take a restaurant’s word and instead visited a farm to verify a chicken’s localness.
In fact, deception can be an unfortunate issue within the sector, with some sellers outright lying about the origin of their foods. Yet because locavores are ideologically driven, they tend to root out the hucksters. Locavores’ increased tendency to call a farm to express gratitude for ingredients in a restaurant meal makes deceit difficult to sustain.
‘Portlandia’ pokes friendly fun at being a locavore.
local food consumption contributes to community.
A second study, also among online consumers, helped us isolate locavorism from similar ideologies, such as hometown bias and anti-corporatism, by identifying locavores using our newly developed scale and measuring reactions to different scenarios. Examples include their food choices while traveling or when a local grocer isn’t available. We found that people we identified as locavores always preferred local food, even when traveling and didn’t care if the vendor was a national chain.
A third study was a field experiment at the University of Oregon. As people walked through an atrium at the business school, we asked them to participate in a granola taste test and rate how likely they’d be to purchase some. Half of the 99 participants were told that the granola was a local brand, while the rest were told it was national – though they were actually identical.
One week later, we asked them to complete our locavore scale, which showed a strong correlation between those who ranked high and a strong interest in purchasing the granola – but only when it was marketed as local. In reality, all participants tasted the same exact granola. And so from this experiment, we were able to conclude that it is their beliefs rather than physiological taste driving locavores’ food preferences.
Overall, the results suggest that locavorism isn’t a simple preference. It is a strongly held ideology, akin to politics or religion, that predicts what people eat, where they shop and how they respond to food advertisement.
As we noted, locavorism can’t be explained by simple demographic variables. To test this, we aggregated the data from all six of our studies into one dataset comprising 1,261 consumers and examined correlations between locavorism and the demographic measures we collected, such as age, gender and political orientation. We found only weak correlations.
Yet there is growing interest in the small-scale, niche farms that sell direct-to-consumer, a sector whose sales grew 61 percent from 2008 to 2012. Around the same time, the number of farmers’ markets jumped from under 3,000 in 2006 to more than 8,000 in 2014.
Even more impressive, from 2007 to 2014 there was a 430 percent increase in “farm to school” programs that aim to educate kids about food nutrition and serve locally sourced food in kids’ meals.

Home cooked meals for dogs are growing in popularity as more pet owners across the globe realize the value of quality nutrition. Most people have the notion that feeding a dog is a complex thing to do let alone making a home cooked meal. Well, it’s no more complicated than making your own food, and there are numerous benefits and reasons to embrace the idea.
The growing number of dogs with food allergies and other health conditions are just some of the reasons to explore a home-cooked diet for your dog. Yes, processed foods are convenient and provide a balanced diet, but fresh foods are healthier for your dog. Most people will agree that once you take on a pet, you have a responsibility to give it as healthy and as happy a life as you can.
What you eat will certainly affect your health and the same applies to your dog. A home cooked meal for your pet is the most reliable way to ensure your pet is getting a healthy and balanced diet. You also get to select the ingredients in your dog’s food, especially if you want to use or avoid certain ingredients or if your furry companion has allergies.
Research has established that commercial pet food, especially dry foods lack sufficient moisture to promote healthy, optimally functioning kidneys. This puts extra strain on the kidneys, which makes your dog more susceptible to kidney disease. In the case of pets already suffering from kidney disease, commercial pet diets only worsen the symptoms. By searching credible sources, you can get several homemade dog food recipes for kidney health.
Cooking your dog’s meals ensures the food is suitable for its particular species. Commercial pet food is often based on the bare minimum of what a dog needs to survive, not considering the wide variation in dogs. It all comes down to the individual dog. Different breeds will have varying diet needs dependent on factors such as size, origin and activity levels, just to mention a few. Note that pre-made diets are meant for mass production and don’t always meet those needs. You prepare a home cooked meal for your dog with good intentions and a deeper understanding of its individual needs.
There is the inherent risk or fear that home cooked dog food may not meet the nutritional needs of your dog, but there are plenty of valuable resources on how to balance the meals. However, feeding your dog the same commercially prepared foods every day is more of a gamble. There are many gray areas when it comes to commercial pet food. Part of making a balanced diet involves feeding a variety of foods, recipes and meals.
Cooking your pet’s meals doesn’t have to mean double work each day. It’s easy to cook a single meal that is nutritious and healthy for both humans and pets. Being more involved in the process of preparing meals that you and your dog eat is enjoyable, and it feels good. After all, eating is a social event. When you’re seated at the dinner table, and your dog is also having his/her meal, there’s a connection. There’s also the inexplicable great feeling that comes from making your dog a nice meal.
You don’t have to suddenly switch to an exclusively home cooked diet all at once. Start by preparing a meal occasionally as an alternative to the dog’s diet. Adding a healthy ingredient such as canned salmon is a good way to start the process. Nonetheless, always remember to consult with your vet before changing your pet’s diet. Introduce new foods slowly as your dog may not tolerate all foods. When in doubt, a vet experienced in dog nutrition will be a valuable resource. There are plenty of recipes and ideas online but only take homemade food recipes from qualified sources.
Dog food has evolved from scraps on the table to commercial kibble to feeding organic food. But the latter doesn’t quite fit everyone’s budget. Organic food is great, and grass fed meat is even better, but most premium dog food is not even certified organic. Considering the price tags on premium dog food, it’s much cheaper to buy the organic ingredients and make the dog food yourself. Even if you can only afford non-organic ingredients, making your own food can still be better and cheaper if you plan well. Consider buying ingredients in bulk, preparing food in larger batches so you can store smaller portions in the freezer for later consumption. It will cost you less while being more nutritious.
Even though commercial pet food may have all the nutritional requirements of your dog, there are a few things you need to bear in mind. Ask yourself how long the food has been sitting on the shelf before you bought it. Ponder about the ingredients on the label, some of which can be quite vague. Think about where the ingredients came from and who formulated them. Before you even consider the relaxed regulations for commercial pet food manufacturers, it’s hard to ignore the elephant in the room. A significant portion of what you’re spending on dog food is probably going to shipping expenses, packaging, wages and profit margins.
Considering the quality of products made for human consumption, it’s wise to be equally cautious with commercially produced pet food. When cooking meals for your dog, you can ensure the quality of ingredients and level of hygiene with which your pet’s food is handled.
The perceptions and culture on pet feeding are undergoing a revolution. Dogs are increasingly welcome in many restaurants around the world. Some chefs even have special menus, and teaching classes for home made dog food.
Once you get your head around making your dog’s food, it’s really not as complicated or daunting as it sounds. There are plenty of pet owners who home-cook their dogs’ meals, and it goes without saying that the dogs are energetic, happy and healthy. Sometimes it may require more time and money, but it’s a commitment worth the effort.

As an investor you must have got this piece of advice from anyone and everyone. But have you wondered how to apply it in real life investing ?
Stay away from these companies at any cost no matter how much ever they fall. Don’t try to catch these falling knives…these companies have high debt and are struggling badly to repay debt. They have not repaid money to corporate fixed deposit investors…!!! raising a big red flag about their future financial health. A company which does not pay debt holders is highly unlikely to make money for equity shareholders.

welp I have a sneaky suspision that big e might be nursing some actual problems so I'm changing E to Cass and keep the Big.
Summer Slam, NXT Takeover, RAW, and SD Live update, we all might need to consider trading Balor as his injury apparently takes about 4 to 6 months to recover.
Quick question, how do the points break down, I see the Nakamura and Asuka picks only got 2, but both won/retained titles. As did Balor on your team. Is it only 2 points for a ppv title win?
To answer your question in a short way yes, but here is a full points breakdown I don't think I missed anything. The reason that non-ppv wins get no points is to increase difficulty and promote the use of the gambit and hopes that your wrestler will win and retain a title.
Neville did get a win at summerslam but sexton has no points for him also as banks is injured can i trade her ?
Yeah, sorted that's cleared it.
I feel my team is strong enough without trading Sasha, who will come back and whip everyone again, until Charlotte drops her again. Called that too btw. Spazzy woman. Genes and proven track record aside, when it comes down to it, she is a bit Miz like when it comes to the safety of other wrestlers.
There's about 6 or 7 in that. On Raw it's Sasha, Charlotte, Bayley a blonde jobber and a sloppy big lass doing the local talent destruction thing.
do we get one gambit now there are 2 ppvs one for raw and sd o are you letting us choose one for each PPV?

For RNA analysis, I finished TopHat , HTseq-count. But When I run DESeq2 for two groups, error came out. Below is this error "An error occurred with this dataset: Fatal error: An undefined error occurred, please check your input carefully and contact your administrator. Error in row.names<-.data.frame(*tmp*, value = value) : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed"
How can I solve this problem. Thanks!
I am having the exact same issue. Even using reference files that have worked previously, I am getting the row.names error upon running DEseq2. The htseq-count files do not have any replicated row names so I am unaware of what else I can do to move forward. Any advice would be appreciated.
I have seen many odd, seemingly unspecific errors come up for this tool when replicates are not input - which are required when using the tool in Galaxy (and line-command, if meaningful results are wanted). There have also been problems with headers in the count files versus the tool form settings used. I can't recall if this specific error came up related to either of those two known usage problems, but looking at an example will clarify what is going on. And if there is a new tool bug, we'll want to fix it.

When I was tiny, I would sit in my gran’s kitchen and listen to her coffee percolator. Like my mum’s Mr. Coffee, gran’s percolator made incredible sounds, burping and hissing, and I could close my eyes and dance in this aural world.
My gran would be on the phone talking to someone and I could hear her voice rise and fall, her accent a lullaby.
When I visited, she always had a can of tuna fish for me. I sound like a cat, but I loved it. She would drink her robust Colombian coffee and talk to me while I forked tuna from the can.
Her lips were dark red from lipstick, her hair henna reddened. She always wore pencil skirts, never once did I see her wear pants.
There was no doubt I was closer to my gran than my mum, but my mum, for some reason always jealous of her mum, wrecked that. When you’re a child and the adults around you are dysfunctional, you have to pick your battles and sometimes you must choose the wrong one to survive.
It’s only after the passage of years that regrets fill a book.
Since I don’t know you well, I’m unsure if this is a true story about your life, or a well written piece of prose. What I do know, is that unfortunately, there are many children that are pawns in a war, not of their making and the only choice open is survival. It is a tragedy beyond measure and taints a child’s love and affection and belief in real and trusting affection without strings or motives, which are rarely hidden to children. Children see it all, understand more than adults give them credit for. Well written, Sascha.
Thank you. Very true words.

The ICSID Administrative Council is the governing body of ICSID. Its composition, functions and decision-making procedure are provided for in the ICSID Convention (Articles 4 to 8 of the Convention).
Each Member State has one representative on the Administrative Council. States may designate any official as their representative on the Council and may designate an alternate representative to act when the designee is unable to act. If a State does not designate a representative or alternate, the World Bank Governor and Alternate Governor for that State are its representatives on the ICSID Administrative Council.
The President of the World Bank Group is the Chairman of the Administrative Council (Article 5 of the ICSID Convention). The Chairman has no vote on matters before the Administrative Council, but convenes and presides over its meetings.
approving the annual reports and budget of the Centre.
deciding proposals to disqualify a sole arbitrator, a majority of a tribunal, or a single member of a tribunal or commission where the other members are equally divided (Article 58 of the ICSID Convention, Article 15 of the Arbitration (Additional Facility) Rules and Article 15 of the Conciliation (Additional Facility) Rules).
Members of the ICSID Administrative Council and its Chairman receive no remuneration from ICSID in respect of their role on the Council. All of these individuals enjoy immunity from legal process with respect to their functions on the Council (Article 21 of the ICSID Convention).
Each State has one vote on the Administrative Council, and there is no weighted voting on any matter. Most decisions of the Administrative Council are taken by a simple majority, although the adoption of procedural rules and the annual budget requires a two-thirds majority approval of the Council (Article 6 of the ICSID Convention). Amendments to the ICSID Convention require the approval of all Member States (Article 66 of the ICSID Convention). Resolutions of the Administrative Council are published in the Annual Report of ICSID.
The Administrative Council must meet at least once a year, and usually does so during the autumn Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group. The Council may convene in person more often if necessary, and may also vote on issues by correspondence (Article 7 of the ICSID Convention).

Security gates are used widely across public, private and commercial settings to protect against unwanted access. Often, once businesses have risk assessed their properties, security gates are high on their agenda and here at Gateway we offer 3 key types that you should know about.
Swing gates are a traditional form of gate which protect against unwanted intruders, or unauthorised access.
These types of gates are particularly versatile and are used at all kinds of properties, including schools, businesses and private sites.
In order for a swing gate to be installed there needs to be enough room for the gate to open and ground needs to be level so as to avoid catching.
The GA9600 Automatic Swing Gate meets all the necessary legislation and its control panel is neatly housed away adding to its professional appearance.
Sliding gates are a perfect solution for properties or sites where there is a shortage of space and a swing gate might not be able to achieve its full arc when opening.
Sliding gates open horizontally and are more difficult to force open through impact from a vehicle.
We offer two types of cantilever sliding gates in the form of the GA9000 Automatic Sliding Gate and the 6A9000M Manual Sliding Gate.
A third option is bi-folding gates which are also known as speed gates as they can open and close very quickly. This can be important for high-security areas where the risk of tailgating needs to be minimized or areas where there will be high levels of traffic.
Our GA9500 Bi-Folding Trackless Speed Gate opens typically at more than twice the speed of a traditional swinging gate and can be fitted with spiked tops, warning lights and sirens if required.
There is no such thing as one-size fits all when it comes to perimeter security and here the type of gate solution that you opt for will very much come down to your site's specific requirements.
Here at Gateway we offer free feasibility surveys to help assess your requirements. We also provide non-obligation quotes. Click here to arrange a call back or click here to download our free brochure.

Kubota Tractor Australia has released a new low budget tractor in their M-Series line up.
The new M7040SUD – Special Utility Tractor, is based on the very popular M40 Series range introduced to the Australian market in 2006.
“Kubota M40 series tractors have had fantastic customer feedback in regards to their high productivity and low running costs. Now, with the introduction of the new M7040SUD, price conscious buyers can access a low budget tractor manufactured to Kubota Tractor Australia's high standards of performance and reliability,” says Peter Gloury Sales Manager for Kubota Tractor Australia.
The M7040SUD low budget tractor can also be fitted with the Kubota LA1153E hydraulic self levelling loader that was introduced to the Australian market in early 2009. The loaders can be fitted with a range of Kubota implements. A 3rd function valve and Kubota’s Shockless Ride Accumulator system are available as an option. The shockless ride absorbs the jolts when travelling over uneven surfaces, resulting in a smoother ride for the operator.
The M7040SUD model features the same sophisticated look as Kubota’s recently released tractors with slanted bonnet, halogen headlights, newly designed front grille for improved visibility and enhanced operator comfort.

SEATTLE, Sept. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today announced that it has filed patent infringement lawsuits against Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. and its subsidiary, Par Sterile Products, LLC, (collectively "Par") in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuits were filed under the Hatch-Waxman Act for Par's infringement of three Omeros patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,173,707, 8,586,633 and 9,066,856, which relate to Omeros' drug Omidria® (phenylephrine and ketorolac injection) 1%/0.3% and which are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, known as the Orange Book, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The lawsuits were filed in response to a Paragraph IV certification notice Omeros received from Par, dated July 23, 2015, regarding Par's filing with the FDA of an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") seeking approval to market a generic version of Omidria prior to the expiration of the three Orange Book-listed patents for Omidria. These patents were granted following review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, are presumed to be valid under governing law, and can only be invalidated in federal court with clear and convincing evidence.
Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, Omeros was permitted to file suit within 45 days from its receipt of Par's notice and thereby trigger a 30-month stay of the FDA's approval of Par's ANDA. The stay is expected to remain in effect until March 2018. Omeros has reviewed Par's Paragraph IV assertions and believes they do not have merit. Omeros has sought access to Par's ANDA, which Par is legally required to provide under reasonable terms, but to date Par has not provided this access. Omeros will obtain access to Par's ANDA and will vigorously prosecute its infringement claims against Par.

In the official website of the Chinese brand Ulefone appeared page devoted to another novelty – a secure unit Ulefone Armor X2, which is a bit simplified version of the model Armor the X . The novelty received a shock-resistant case with IP68 protection, which made it possible to immerse it under water, a 5.5-inch IPS-display with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels, a MediaTek MT6580 chip, lacking support for 4G / LTE networks, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable internal memory, and a dual main camera with 13 megapixel and 5 megapixel sensors, 8 megapixel front camera, a standard set of wireless interfaces, including an NFC module, a GPS / GLONASS receiver, a 5500 mAh battery with 5V / 2A fast charging, and Android OS 8.1 Oreo. All these mentioned specifications you get at an affordable price. So let’s go further and find more about this budget phone.
The Ulefone Armor X2 comes in a small box with yellow-black pattern.
The design of the package already suggests that this phone is designed for the users who are engaged in active tourism.
In the package, in addition to the Ulefone Armor X2 phone, there is a warranty card, user manual, screwdriver, micro USB cable and a power supply (5V/2A).
Also, nice bonus is that the protective film has been already attached to the screen of Ulefone Armor X2.
Novelty X2 is different in that with all its “buns” has a rather good price tag. However, further it will be clear on what the manufacturer has saved.The dimensions of the device are 163 x 76.6 x 13.9 mm with an impressive weight 256 g.
The case, as it should be made of a combination of plastic and rubber, which gives protection from drops and water. All connectors, as laid with rubber plugs. IP68 protection standard implies protection against water and dust. Thus, the manufacturer gives you an ability to use the camera of the phone underwater or just use it being underwater at a depth of up to 1.5 meters for no more than an hours. Also, you can use it is at a depth of up to one meter for no more than 24 hours.
The screen is closed in front with tempered glass Gorilla Glass. The case itself is certainly massive enough, which is traditional for such devices.
The screen by today’s standards is not the largest – only 5.5 inches. We are pleased with the modern aspect ratio of 18: 9 and the resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. But as for the processor, then everything is sad – MTK 6580 is outdated for quite some time. Nevertheless, it is he who is installed inside the novelty – 4 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The size of the RAM is 2 GB, and the internal drive offers 16 GB out of the “box” with the possibility of expansion by the Micro SD card. The front camera, speaker, light, proximity sensors, and an event indicator are located at the top of the front panel. Note, that event indicator may light three colors: green, red or blue. Under the display of the phone, there is a touch button. However, sometimes the fingerprint sensor is not working fast and properly. Even in some cases, there is a need to enter a PIN code, because you will see the message stating that the number of unlock attempts using a fingerprint is already exceeded.
In the case of finger recognition, the manufacturer claims, that Ulefone Armor X2 phone needs about 0.1 seconds to unlock the device. On the front panel you can find a microphone too. The back side of the Ulefone Armor X2 is interesting too. The cameras are equipped on the top. It is protected by glass and slightly recessed into a metal edging.
On the right side, there are located Dual nano SIM/microSD and PTT button. From the user’s point of view it will be good to change place of power button with PTT button, in order not be confused them. On the back side there is situated a second microphone too. Volume and power buttons of Ulefone Armor X2 are placed on the left side of the phone. 3.5mm audio jack is at the top side of Armor X2 and is protected by a plug. On the bottom, there is a connector in the micro USB port, also protected by a plug. In general, for me it is very convenient and nice smartphone. The design is classic, the buttons are quite large and have a tangible move. So, if you are looking for a durable smartphone at an affordable price, then this definitely a good solution. In addition to being waterproofed the manufacturer claims that Ulefone Armor X2 can operate at temperatures from -40 to +80 degrees Celsius.
The display of Ulefone Armor X2 has protection against damage and scratches, which allows you to be more confident in your gadget. It is equipped with a 5.5 inch HD Plus matrix.The matrix itself is produced using the usual IPS technology. The diagonal is sufficient for all tasks, and the resolution is 1440×720 pixels. The panel has a bright backlight, and the color gamut has a decent range. The phone supports an automatic brightness control. However, note that the minimum brightness of the display is not sufficient for using in the dark. In the Ulefone Armor X2 are presented settings MiraVision. MiraVision will allow users to customize the display of images. You can adjust the contrast, saturation, brightness, sharpness and color temperature of the image. Moreover, there is an ability to enable or disable the Dynamic Contrast option. Also, it is possible to include protection from blue radiation. Although there is a separate button to release the camera shutter, to activate the camera not through a shortcut on the screen, you can double-click on the “Power” button. The settings are small due to Android 8.1. The screen of the Ulefone Armor X2 has good maximum brightness and excellent picture clarity thanks to HD Plus resolution.
Engineers have configured a Mediatek MT6580 processor for the model, which is a classic representative of a single-chip entry-level system. The processor gets the 4 Cortex -A7 cores with a maximum frequency of up to 1.3 GHz. Its performance does not question the comfort of using all applications, but the choice of games will be limited to projects with minimal requirements. The graphics chip Mail-400 MP2 works with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. AnTuTu Benchmark scores more than 40000 points. During testing the game PUBG mobile, chosen low graphics settings, we gain an average of 15 fps, with occasional drops to 10 fps. During another game Real Racing 3 at high graphics settings, the picture goes smoothly, without dropping fps.
The Ulefone Armor X2 is not designed for gaming, so we should not wait too much from it. At the maximum graphics settings, the smartphone will not go well. However, in the menu, it works quite normal without any delays or issues. The Ulefone Armor X2 is powered with MediaTek MT6580 productive chip, which is quite good comparable to Snapdragon 425. The smartphone is equipped with 2GB of RAM, which is a very popular solution for low-range phones.
Moreover, there is a built-in memory of 16GB, from which 12GB is available for use. However, there isn’t any problem with memory taking into consideration the fact of the separate slot for a microSD card. The total memory of Armor X2 can reach up to 256GB.
Ulefone Armor X2 is powered with Android 8.1 Oreo. On the side of the smartphone is located the PTT button, which is responsible for calling the Zello application. Please note that you can neither delete nor reassign the PTT button function. In the app, you can communicate with other users using a voice message just by clicking on the button. The smartphone comes with Internet radio. However, it becomes useless, when you are in the mountains and there is no mobile connection. The smartphone comes with Internet radio. However, it becomes useless, when you are in the mountains and there is no mobile connection. There is a separate camera button which activates the camera. For activation, the users need to keep that button pressed for 5 seconds, and the smartphone itself should not be blocked while camera application. Maybe for some users, it will be convenient but from our point of view activating the camera by double pressing the Power button is faster.
Along with other useful features, the Ulefone Armor X2 supports a separate OutDoor Toolbox application. There are many interesting functions which can help you in different situations.
There is an accurate compass, a flashlight, a noise sensor, a program that helps users to hang objects like a photo or calendar, a program to measure the frequency of heartbeats, a plan to measure the height of objects, three different types of alarm activation, pedometer, plumb, protractor, and barometer.
You can set the alarm signal in different ways such as the form of a uniformly flashing flash, sounds or a blinking screen. Note, that there is no SOS signal.
In general, there are many ways to control the Ulefone Armor X2 when the display is locked. You just need to configure the settings. Another feature is the possibility to record the screen of Ulefone Armor X2. As we already mentioned users can activate the protection against blue radiation with the MiraVision application. In addition to that, there is a separate menu for this in the settings section. Also, notice the mode of reducing the working area for the most comfortable control of the smartphone with one hand. On the taskbar, you can swap or hide the buttons.
For the work optimization of the smartphone, you can use the DuraSpeed application. It sends all computing capabilities to one application. The background applications should be separately configured because they will be limited. By default, the touch button is assigned to back and transition to the main screen. However, you can assign various functions to pressing and holding the touch button.
The main camera consists of two sensors that have received different tasks. The dual main camera has an 8-megapixel lens with an f/1.8 aperture and interpolation of images up to 13 megapixels and 5-megapixel lens. The second 2-megapixel camera serves for the bokeh effect.
The video has Full HD resolution. You can record in MP4 and 3gp format. The front camera received a 5 megapixel lens with an f/2.0 aperture and interpolation of images up to 8 megapixels.
Autonomy is about Ulefone Armor X2. The phone is not bought in order to constantly charge it, as the developers thought. The built-in battery holds 5500 mAh of energy. This volume is great for attacks on nature, where access to food sources is limited. We have tested the phone at 70% brightness and it worked for 12.5 hours. Even in some cases it can be enough for 4-5 days. Using a micro USB port you can charge the phone for about 3.0 hours.
We highly recommend gaining Ulefone Armor X2 budget smartphone for the lovers of active tourism. If you do not want to play hard games with this smartphone, then it is suitable for you. Although Ulefone Armor X2 has an affordable price, it is the feature-rich phone. Also, its worth your attention that the smartphone is equipped with a powerful battery which can live for about four days without recharging. Now you can preorder the Ulefone Armor X2 rugged smartphone from GearBest Store.

The Journeyman is a title used to identify the 3rd skill level and also the 3rd rank in abilities. This rank is preceded by the Apprentice and followed by the Hero/Heroic level.
The Journeyman ability has similar guidelines as would the prior ability levels. As with each level, the complexity of the ability is higher with each given rank. In example of what a Journeyman ability would be like a large fireball. Some may think this basic, but it is actually more advanced than one may think when in comparison to a prior rank. This is because this require a great amount of power and experience in order to keep it together and use it appropriately. That being said, these abilities most often have a bigger exhaust periods or in some cases to have different but equally affective drawbacks to the user.

Posted by cafuego on Thursday 29 April 2010.
So I picked one up at JB Hi-Fi yesterday.
I'd noticed on my wife's netbook that the main performance bottleneck seems to be the harddisk, so I'd also set my mind on replacing the HDD with an SDD. Apart from speeding things up, that should hopefully also help eke some more run-time out of a single charge.
A quick search for reviews and limited availability of alternatives (need instant gratification now!) made me choose a 64GB G.Skill Falcon II. This SSD has far less capacity than the bundled 250GB sata drive, but then again this is supposed to be a netbook and I do still have the HP to use as portable workstation.
A 15 minute operation involving the destruction of a "warranty void" seal saw the SSD installed and the HDD removed. Since I never actually booted (Windows 7) off the HDD I might be tempted to ask for a Windows refund.
I had read about some possible keyboard and trackpad issues under Linux, so the next step was to create a FreeDOS bootable USB key in order to flash the machine up to the latest BIOS version. That worked flawlessly.
Unfortunately the Debian Squeeze netinst iso doesn't support the wired ethernet adapter (wireless is detected though), so I have not yet been able to install Debian on the Eep. Again under the motto of instant gratification I opted to install Ubuntu 10.04 until I had time to sort out Debian.
To make installation less painful than first booting into a full GUI and because I hate the UNR interface with a passion, I went for the "alternate" installer. I made a bootable USB key using usb-creator, which also worked flawlessly.
Because I was installing onto SSD I followed Ted Tso's fdisk and mkfs instructions by way of the Debian EeeC HowTo. I went for 16GB /, 4GB swap and 44GB /home partitions. For both data partitions I chose ext4 with the noatime and data=ordered mount options. Those should mininise wear on the SSD and still give decent speed.
The swap partition is only there to allow the machine to hibernate, so I added vm.swappiness=1 in my /etc/sysctl.conf file.
Append acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub and then run the update-grub2 command and reboot. That makes the backlight respond normally to the hot keys. You can check that the options took via cat /proc/cmdline.
So I now have a fully working netbook which boots from POST to login screen in under 4 seconds and has been going for about 8 hours on its charge now.
You make it sound so easy! Sounds good though.
Are there no netbooks that sell with SSDs to save the tinkering? or is DIY just cheaper?
I honestly hadn't looked for netbooks that come with SSDs. The original Eeepcs did - they had 4GB SSD storage. However, I've not seen SSD mentioned on cheap netbooks for ages, only on premium laptops like a Macbook Air or as an extra-cost option on other laptops.
Number of cells is a poor measure of battery life: you know that different AAA batteries (cells, to use the technical name) have different capacities, and indeed some 3-cell laptop batteries have greater capacity than some 6-cell laptop batteries.
