Network Olympus: Monitoring

Allows you to perform continuous real-time monitoring of servers.
Version: 1.8.0 - June 2, 2020 - All Windows

Network Discovery Software

All the information about your network devices and structure at your fingertips.

Track the Devices in Your Network

Network Olympus discovery tool can deal with the tasks of any complexity when it comes to network discovery scanning. Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to our network device scanner, a module responsible for scanning the network and tracking the devices that are a part of it. With it, you can effortlessly get up-to-date information about the network structure.

The port scanner is able to detect devices, components and hosts. Its distinctive features include but are not limited to ICMP, ARP, TCP ports scan, Active Directory domain search, network adapters, IP ranges analysis, Workgroup enumeration, etc. Each scanning task can be scheduled via the dedicated Scheduler tool.

With our network discovery tool, you can track the whole process from start to finish. Besides keeping an eye on the process, you can also schedule and completely control it.

Pick the Suitable Work Mode

The tool that discovers network devices can work in two modes. Fast scanning allows performing tasks automatically. The network IP scanner creates a list of tasks when the operating system starts. Those tasks can be conveniently scheduled and allow to detect various objects like the whole network, domain, work groups, IP ranges, etc. without any additional adjustments.

Manual scanning is a more custom solution. It provides you with the opportunity to create special user scanning tasks for different objects of your network that we have listed above: the network, domain and workgroups.

Widget to Manage Your Processes

The network tree is the main management widget as it displays the network structure and its hierarchy in perfect detail. All recently added devices are put into a new group in the network tree. Groups and devices together make up the nodes of the network tree.

Each network device can be monitored. Such characteristics as its IP address, hostname, and OS are tracked and logged as the device’s parameters and can be easily retrieved. Groups considerably improve the monitoring process. They increase the efficiency of the process and make it seamless and clear.

Scanning Speed & Results You Will Appreciate

Automated scanning is the easiest way to add a new device to the tree. You can add devices to the network manually, as well as adjust the whole scanner to meet your specific needs. Then, it is all about the results. The advanced network scanner works at a great speed: the comparison with the similar tools demonstrates our solution’s considerable advantage. As a result, our network discovery software provides you with the details about the network device discovery process and its progress.

Choose the license type that is a perfect fit for your business needs:

An unlimited number of devices for 60 days free of charge.
No activation or registration required.

All-in-one. For companies with more than 10 devices.

Sixteen seasons in, "Grey's Anatomy" still knows how to shock its audience – even though, in retrospect, we should've seen that coming.

ABC promised us the March 5 episode would be Alex Karev's send-off episode – and whew, was it send-off: He left his wife Jo (Camilla Luddington) to reunite offscreen with ex-wife Izzie (Katherine Heigl) ... and the two children Izzie had using frozen embryos the two made back in season five.

We're not kidding.

The episode, which was chock-full of montages of seasons past, featured  Jo , best friend Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and former boss Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) all reading letters from him (the return address was from Kansas; Meredith's just read "Evil Spawn," a nod to his former nickname).

He says goodbye (via voiceover) to each of the three women in individual letters.

First up is his letter to Meredith: Alex apparently called Izzie earlier this season when he was looking for people to speak up for Meredith during the trial where she fought to keep her medical license – finally, a good enough excuse to call his ex. He learned Izzie, now a surgical oncologist, was single and had his five-year-old twins.

"You are my best friend and I will miss the hell out of you," he told Meredith.

Next up is Jo: "It's officially the worst thing I've ever done," Alex says in his letter to Jo. And it basically is: He admits he's in love with Izzie (though says he loves Jo, too – it's just that Izzie has his kids, and he wants to be there for them like his and Jo's families weren't). Keep in mind this was after a rough few seasons where Jo confronted her abusive (now deceased) husband and the birth mother she never knew, and still came out stronger on the other side.

Then, Bailey: Karev tells her she helped him grow the hell up, and references when she took a bullet out of his stomach. He says goodbye and thank you. Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.), another former boss, reflects on his relationship with Alex during an AA meeting after receiving a letter of his own.

This episode is already polarizing "Grey's" fans on social media. But that doesn't take away from the legacy Alex Karev left us.

When was Justin Chambers last on 'Grey's Anatomy?'

Chambers last appeared as Karev in the Nov. 14 episode of "Grey's," but unbeknownst to fans at the time, it was his final performance. He was said to be helping his mother in Iowa ... though we learned in last week's episode on Feb. 28 he wasn't there at all.

ABC confirmed the news in January, as did the actor in a statement from his agent  Stephen Hirsh.

"As I move on from 'Grey’s Anatomy,' I want to thank the ABC family, (executive producer) Shonda Rhimes, original cast members Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens, and the rest of the amazing cast and crew, both past and present, and, of course, the fans for an extraordinary ride," he said.

With Chambers' departure, the show, now in its 16th season, is down to those three original cast members. The series premiered in March 2005.

A timeline of Alex Karev's journey on Grey's Anatomy (and why we'll miss him)

"Grey's Anatomy" won't be the same without Alex – and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out why.

Karev –  or as longtime "Grey's Anatomy" fans know him, "Evil Spawn" – has been a prominent doctor on the series since the beginning. Through 349 episodes, fans have watched him get married (then divorced), survive a gunshot wound, narrowly avoid a plane crash and get remarried. He rose from an intern to a resident to an attending pediatric surgeon to chief of surgery. Hey, it's been a lot of seasons.

Karev started the series as a misogynistic, lazy jerk but turned into a lovable, reliable surgeon and friend (with many ups and downs in between). We learned an unstable childhood was to blame for much of his attitude. Yes, over the course of the series he cheated on his wife, Izzie . And yes, he ratted out a colleague after she tampered with a clinical trial, but he learned from those moments .

His marriage to Izzie in the wake of her cancer battle was beautiful, though it quickly flamed out the following season (the divorce occurred offscreen). Over time, he became even closer with the other remaining interns Meredith and Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh). When Yang's departed at the end of Season 10, Karev effectively became Meredith's "person," or best, best friend.

He eventually found love with new wife Jo , and all seemed to be going swimmingly for the pair, despite a mental health scare and their employment at  different hospitals. He became chief of surgery at lower-tier hospital Pac North after getting fired from Grey-Sloan earlier this season because of Meredith.

And that's the toughest part of why we'll miss him: He was there for her as she dealt with her best friend moving away and her husband's death. He was there for both his wives when they needed him most. He was there for his mentor, Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), after she lost her leg (he even performed the amputation).

He was there for us as we watched a succession of doctors depart the series. Karev was a constant; Where else would he go? After a rough upbringing, he craved stability – making the timing of his exit all the more perplexing.

Then again: Maybe Izzie was that stability all along.

We'll have a powdered sugar donut in your honor, Karev. We know that's your favorite.

VCU history education professor: How Confederate monuments and the ‘Lost Cause’ narrative distort our understanding of the Civil War

Gabriel A. Reich, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning in the VCU School of Education, studies historical consciousness, a sub-field of history and social studies education that explores how young people come to understand history and apply historical frameworks to orient themselves in the world.

Gabriel A. Reich, Ph.D.
Gabriel A. Reich, Ph.D.

As part of this research, Reich’s work has recently focused on the collective memories of the Civil War and Emancipation, and how those memories are affected by state history standards, examinations, public monuments, family stories and the practice of teaching.

Amid the debate over Confederate monuments in Charlottesville, Richmond and elsewhere, Reich recently spoke about his research and the role of monuments in how we remember and understand the past.

How did you first become interested in studying our collective memories of the Civil War and Emancipation?

I never had much of an interest in the Civil War at all until I came to Richmond. I’d never been south of D.C. in the United States. I’m from New York City, and my interest really was first sparked when I visited Richmond [as a candidate for a faculty position] and I was driven down Monument Avenue. I was shocked to see monuments to Confederate generals. In my mind they were traitors who fought against their own country to defend enslavement and lost. I was not conscious of the extent to which I was raised on a victorious narrative until I returned to New York City and realized I was surrounded by monuments to the Union that I had never really noticed before.

Historians are engaged in a perpetual argument over how to interpret the past.

So that experience began to spark some interest. I was doing other scholarly work on how kids answer multiple-choice test questions in history. Historians are engaged in a perpetual argument over how to interpret the past. Multiple-choice questions, however, have a single answer, and what does that mean? Looking at questions and answers, what I found was this idea of collective memory. That our country, and our states, promote a certain narrative about the past, and certain knowledge about the past. Those narratives are supposed to draw us together into a singular national identity, a political aim that has little to do with the work of academic historians.

Gradually, those two interests came together: collective memory and the Civil War. So I started researching that.

What did you find?

The first study that I did was of pre-service teachers here in the School of Education. That was looking at how they explained why the South seceded. And that was right around the beginning of the sesquicentennial [of the Civil War]. And then during the sesquicentennial, together with a colleague of mine named Amy Corning, we were able to get a grant from [VCU] to study collective memory of the Civil War and Emancipation here at VCU. We had a survey questionnaire and we got over 3,000 responses and we’ve been slowing working our way through the analysis.

We just had an article come out this year about the belief that African-Americans fought for both sides in the Civil War, which is not historically true. It’s a belief that we weren't looking for and that we were surprised to find. We asked an open-ended question about the nature of black participation in the Civil War. And when we were looking at the answers, this just kept coming up: “They fought for both sides.” And so we really looked closely at that, and did a mixed method — quantitative and qualitative — study where we had a number of hypotheses we could test quantitatively, and then we had a close look qualitatively at the answers that respondents gave. Almost all our hypothesis turned out to be wrong.

We thought people who went to high school in the South would be more likely to believe in this myth of black Confederates. And that wasn’t true. We also thought white respondents would be more likely to express that belief than respondents of color, but wasn’t the case either.

The one thing that did stand out was people who had an ancestor who fought in the Civil War on either side or both sides — it didn't matter — were more likely to say that African-Americans fought for both the Union and the Confederacy. We think that was probably because having that ancestor gave them an interest and a personal connection that would make them more likely to remember stuff they hear about the war, regardless of whether or not that information is true.

But when we did a close qualitative analysis of the responses, we were surprised again. This myth was promoted by groups like the Sons of Confederate Veterans as a way to remove enslavement and race as important factors from the narrative of the Civil War. Neo-Confederate groups would say that everybody was just fighting for their homes, fighting for their love of country, and that there’s nothing particularly special about African-Americans in this war because it had nothing to do with slavery — they fought for their homes just like everybody else did.

We expected to see a lot of that in the answers when we looked at them qualitatively but we did not. We only saw a couple — like less than 2 percent — who were kind of echoing that neo-Confederate propaganda. The vast majority either just said they fought on both sides or tried to justify in some way why African-Americans would be fighting for the Confederacy. They would say things like: “They were forced to fight for the Confederacy but they chose to fight for the Union.” Or: “They fought in place of the sons of their white masters.” Or: “They fought in exchange for freedom.” So [respondents] were trying to justify something that doesn’t really make sense, and not echoing neo-Confederate propaganda.

It’s interesting to me how stories about the past move through society and how people will change them and repurpose them once they hear them and incorporate them into their own understanding of the world.

In the context of your research, how do you view the issue of Confederate monuments and the role that they play in our understanding of the Civil War?

The Robert E. Lee monument, on Monument Avenue in Richmond.

First, I would say that I’m always skeptical when people make claims about what these monuments mean to large swaths of people. I did a study last year in a local school looking at how local high school students understand the monuments. It was before all the stuff happened this summer, and their views might be different today.

The students in this particular study were almost all African-American and there was tremendous diversity in how they understood the monuments. So I think often when issues about how we as a society come into conflict about how to remember the past are covered by journalists, the controversy gets portrayed as these people think this, and those people think that. So that’s my caveat, it’s complicated and the boxes we tend to put people in mask a lot of diversity of opinion.

Historically, the monuments were put up for two reasons: The first was to serve as a symbol to represent the fact that white supremacy had been re-established in Virginia and other parts of the South. [The statue of Robert E.] Lee goes up in 1890, that's not an accident. That’s when voting laws were disenfranchising African-Americans. There was only one black member of the city council at that time. And the monuments really symbolized that. “Whites can now say whatever we want, and there’s nothing anybody else can do about it.”

People say these monuments are history. Well, they’re history in that they’ve been there for a long time. But they were a political tool to make a statement about white supremacy, that’s the history they represent.

As an educator, it’s also really interesting to me that they were [meant to serve as] a teaching tool. They were put there to teach the younger generations — who wouldn’t necessarily know someone who fought in the war — to revere certain figures from the war. What’s interesting about Monument Avenue, it’s not filled with monuments to the common soldier. It’s these representatives of the landed aristocracy that people are supposed to revere. If you look at the speeches made the day of the unveiling of the Lee monument, that’s one of the points that was being made — that these were a teaching tool to pass on this reverence and the Lost Cause narrative of the Civil War to the next generation.

So here we are today, quite removed from that time and we’re still trying to figure out what to do. One response to it was what Doug Wilder decided in 1995, which was to put Arthur Ashe on Monument Avenue. He believed that would change the narrative that unfolds on Monument Avenue from only the Lost Cause to something more akin to Virginia’s greatest hits.

I wasn’t here at the time, but it was very controversial. Should we continue to add to Monument Avenue? Should we continue to change that?

The fact that the monuments become this rallying cry for white supremacists and Nazis is really disturbing.

When I first came here, I was shocked by the monuments. But the more time I spent here, the less shocked I was by them. I used to walk my dog down there. My daughter lived on Monument Avenue for a while. Over time, that shock wears off and it becomes normalized in your head. I don’t think I appreciated how disturbing that was until Charlottesville, as well.

So what exactly is being normalized here? Why should that be normalized? Sure, there’s Arthur Ashe, but there’s not a Nat Turner statue. There’s no Gabriel Prosser statue. So what exactly is being normalized? It’s this idea that it's normal that one increasingly small group of people gets to lord it over everybody else. And that's just not OK.

It sends a message to the African-American community, saying “You have to live with this and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

In my work preparing history teachers, I’m really pushing all the time, “You really need to have these difficult conversations. You need to look at history with a kind of unflinching eye because it’s mostly not pretty and it’s about humans and what they do to each other and how they try to justify it.” I don’t think that the monuments serve that purpose, however.

You're preparing the next generation of history teachers. Do you think we do a sufficient job of educating young people about the Civil War and Emancipation?

We have a lot of room to grow.

A document like state standards represents a compromise between adults about what young people should know — and not a compromise between all adults, but between the kind of adults who end up on the committees that set those standards.

That compromise has certainly changed for the better over time. If you went back to the 1970s, the most popular textbook in Virginia was called the “Cavalier Commonwealth,” and it unabashedly told the Lost Cause narrative of the Civil War where enslaved people were happy under slavery and everything was great until the mean Yankees starting the “War of Northern Aggression.”

So we've come a long way since then. The standards in the state of Virginia very clearly state that the main cause of the Civil War was slavery. So that's good. But we do have a long way to go.

I think one of the problems is there is so much content in the Standards of Learning that there is very little time for teachers to go into depth on any one thing, and very little autonomy to do so.

And also because the standards represent a compromise among adults, they present history in the least offensive manner possible which avoids conflict and ends up being kind of boring. It’s often not until college or until students want to go off and study more on their own that they really encounter anything else. It’s also going to vary greatly from community to community in how well it’s presented.

So no, I don’t think we’re doing a good job in history education. But it goes way beyond history education. I think it’s unfair to put all that on the shoulders of history teachers. I mean, if you look at South Africa, they had a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We’ve never done that. We did the opposite.

The people who decided it was better to secede and start a civil war fought for the unlimited expansion of slavery. After the war, in order to make peace, the North basically agreed, saying “OK, you can own this narrative.” And we need to remember, the Lost Cause narrative wasn’t just Southern. “Gone with the Wind” wasn’t written or made by Southerners. It was made by Northerners in Los Angeles, not part of the Confederacy.

So this became a national narrative. It was part of the reconciliation between Northern and Southern whites with this tacit agreement that not only could Southerners own the narrative but that white supremacy was something that the North and the South could bond over.

We have never taken a long hard look at this. And we’re not really doing it now either.

People are starting to see some of this ugliness because of things like Charlottesville but it’s also being validated by the highest levels of power in this country right now.

So I don’t want to put it all on history teachers to make that right. It’s too often that we put everything on schools. They’re supposed to make an equal society and teach kids all these skills for the 21st century and take care of the reconciliation that we never properly did for the last 150 years. That’s a lot.

Many people grew up with misconceptions about the causes of the Civil War, such as believing that slavery was not the primary cause. For people who were brought up believing this narrative, do you have advice on how to convince them of a more accurate narrative?

I think someone who is completely ideologically and emotionally committed to a position like that, it’s pretty difficult to change their minds. But I think that very few people are that consciously committed to it. I think a lot of people are sort of semi-conscious of all this stuff. So I would focus more on people who aren’t hard core committed. They’re the ones where some convincing is certainly possible.

If I was teaching U.S. history in high school and we were doing the Civil War, there are several things I would do. One thing is when assessing the causes of the Civil War, I would have my students read the Articles of Secession that seceding states wrote and passed. They made no bones about why they were seceding. It’s right there in the first couple sentences. South Carolina was the first. They mention states’ rights once or twice, but it’s always in the service of expanding slavery.

And they certainly weren’t for states' rights when Massachusetts passed a law prohibiting state officials from assisting in the capture or return of fugitive slaves. Then it was all, “No, no, no, you have to follow the national law.”

So one thing I would do is have students look at documents like those secession documents.

Another thing I would do is … because it’s another major myth that a lot of people hold about the Civil War, which is that the Civil War was fought mostly by white people over what should happen to black people. But African-Americans had a very active role and a lot of stake in the outcome in the Civil War and had a tremendous impact on the war itself. So I would want to look at the extent to which so many enslaved people emancipated themselves by running away to follow the Union Army and then joining the Union Army once the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

There’s some really great tools you can use to look at that. There’s an Emancipation map [created at the University of Richmond] with a timeline on the bottom where you can fly across it and see where Union troops were, where rail lines were and where emancipation events were happening. It’s based on documents, most of which were advertisements saying “This person ran away, please send them back if you find them.” They weren’t running to Canada at that point, they were running to the Union lines.

I would want [my students] to know about the free men who rode across the Chesapeake Bay to [the Union Army at] Fort Monroe and were the first escapees to be called “contrabands of war” and refused to return them to their owners. That little trickle led to a giant rushing river. I want them to know that this wasn’t just a war between parts of the country, it was a war about the desire to expand slavery. It was a war about the idea of liberty, particularly the liberty of very few people to control the liberty of very many people. And it was also a war of liberation — it got transformed into a war of liberation, and African-Americans helped transform it into a war of liberation.

I would also tell them that history doesn’t just flow in one direction. After the war, steps were taken to create a more equal society. And then steps were taken to reverse that.

Now, doing that when you have like a week and a half to do 1860 to 1920, because you have a pacing guide by your district, that’s no easy task.

It was a war about the idea of liberty, particularly the liberty of very few people to control the liberty of very many people.

IDF: Squadron 117 closes after fighting in all Israeli systems

Magnificent heritage: 117th Squadron, also known as the “First Jet Squadron”, closed today (Wednesday) after 67 years of operational activity at the Ramat David base. The decision to close the squadron was made as part of the IDF’s multi-year plan, ‘185 Tnufa ‘, which aims to advance processes and prepare for future challenges.

The First Jet Squadron was established in 1953 at the Ramat David base, and took part in all of Israel’s wars. It should also be noted that the 117th Squadron is the Hawk Squadron The first in the world to shoot down a MiG-23 enemy aircraft. Also, one of the most notable accomplishments the squadron recorded was Attack on Iraqi nuclear reactor About 40 years ago, a move that was considered by many to have a significant impact on the regional balance of power.

To this day, the squadron has operated F-16 aircraft, and has been one of the only fighter squadrons in the north of the country, has operated extensively in the sector and even continued to train for operational activity in all arenas until the day of its closure. All of the squadron’s commanders and soldiers continue their activities in the Air Force, and will be integrated into all of the corps’ battle platforms.

Bok hero Marx commits to SA until 2020

Cape Town - Following Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx’s heroics against the All Blacks at Newlands this past weekend, SA Rugby has wasted no time in securing the player’s services for the next three years.

CLICK: To support South Africa's Rugby World Cup 2023 bid

According to Netwerk24, Marx on Sunday morning signed a tripartite contract with SA Rugby and the Golden Lions that will keep him in South Africa until at least 2020.

The 23-year-old was South Africa’s best player on the park in the narrow 25-24 defeat to New Zealand.

He was instrumental on defence and with ball in hand and also won several penalties at the breakdown which got the Springboks out of trouble on countless occasions.

His lineout throwing was also much more accurate, with the Boks winning 13 of 14 on their own throw.

The official man-of-the-match accolade went to All Black fullback Damian McKenzie, but several pundits felt Marx deserved the award.

A New Zealand website even gave the Bok hooker a perfect 10 out of 10 in their ratings.

Lamb's Shot Lifts Thunder Against Magic

Monday, July 8th 2013, 6:41 pm
By: News 9

Jeremy Lamb struggled with his jumper all game but he made the one the Thunder needed with 6 seconds remaining in Monday's 79-78 victory against the Magic.

Lamb, one of the most intriguing players on Oklahoma City's summer league roster, missed his first five shots and finished 4-of-16 with 11 points, but he was instrumental in the Thunder's nine-point comeback over the final three minutes.

Grant Jerrett led the Thunder with 14 points, including four 3-pointers, and Dwight Buycks added 11 points and five assists.

Reggie Jackson had to leave the game after colliding with Daniel Orton, which resulted in stitches above Jackson's eye. He had four points, four assists and seven turnovers in 17 minutes. Jackson is expected to play in OKC's next contest.

Twelfth-overall pick Steven Adams did not play for OKC.

Andrew Nicholson scored 19 for Orlando and Doron Lamb chipped in with 16. Former All-Big 12 performers in Oklahoma's Romero Osby (4 pts, 6 rebs) and Kansas State's Rodney McGruder (5 pts) each played significant minutes off the bench for the Magic.

Victor Oladipo, the second-overall pick in the draft, shot just 2-for-12 but finished with 12 points thanks to an 8-of-10 showing from the foul line.

Next up for the Thunder is a Tuesday matchup against the Pistons at 12 p.m. (CST).

A 'Mini Ice Age' Is Coming—and Soon

Study predicts 60% fall in solar activity around 2030
By Arden Dier,  Newser Staff
Posted Jul 13, 2015 10:24 AM CDT

(Newser) – In the words of the Starks, winter is coming—and it's going to be bad. Using a new model to forecast the sun's activity, scientists predict solar activity will fall by 60% in the 2030s to conditions not seen since a "mini ice age" in 1645. For almost two centuries, scientists have known that the sun's activity changes on a 10- to 12-year cycle. Each cycle is slightly different, and predicting the sun's activity has proven difficult thanks to a dynamo caused by fluid deep within the sun. However, after reviewing magnetic field activity over three solar cycles, researchers say they've found a second dynamo close to the sun's surface. "They both have a frequency of approximately 11 years, although this frequency is slightly different," researcher Valentina Zharkova explains. The new model based on the pair has allowed for "unprecedentedly accurate predictions," per Science Daily. As if to crush all hope of warmth, Zharkova notes they're 97% accurate.

story continues below

That doesn't mean we're all going to freeze solid. Zharkova explains that, according to the "double dynamo" theory, two sets of magnetic waves, "originating in two different layers in the sun's interior," sway between the sun's Northern and Southern hemispheres. When they are "in phase ... we have strong solar activity." But when the "two waves exactly mirror each other, peaking at the same time but in opposite hemispheres of the sun," as is predicted for 2030 to 2040, "their interaction will be disruptive, or they will nearly cancel each other. We predict that this will lead to the properties of a 'Maunder minimum.'" The Maunder minimum, also known as the Little Ice Age, brought significant temperature drops to the Northern Hemisphere from 1645 to 1715, causing England's River Thames to freeze during the winter of 1683-84, reports the Telegraph. Haaretz, which puts the dates at 1300 to 1870, reports some countries suffered crop failure and famine. (The sun is already partly to blame for our shortening spring.)

Best shelf-stable foods: Here’s what you need to stock your pantry – Business Insider

kitchen pantry storage food

Iryna Tiumentseva/

  • Having shelf-stable food stocked in your pantry is vital for anyone preparing for or facing an extended period of quarantine.
  • Foods such as rice, beans, soups, and canned meat offer excellent shelf life and provide plenty of the vitamins, carbohydrates, protein, and nutrition you need to support your health.
  • We spoke to the New York City-based nutritionists, Samantha Cassetty and Erika Villalobos-Morsink, for their input on the best shelf-stable foods to stock up on.

In the wake of the spread of the novel coronavirus, people around the world are dealing with the possibility they could face time under quarantine. Whether they’re displaying symptoms themselves or have been exposed to someone who is, millions of individuals are being asked to stay at home, remain inside, and limit their interactions with others.

In order to comfortably do that however, it’s important to be prepared. This means stocking up on enough supplies to last whatever the duration of the quarantine needs to be. Picking up enough household items to last for two weeks to a month generally isn’t a problem, as items like toilet paper, trash bags, toothpaste, laundry detergent, and hand sanitizer don’t have an expiration date and can often last a long time.

It’s picking the right foods to stock your fridge and pantry that can be more challenging. Since so many of the food items we buy tend to spoil over time, eating properly while isolated is difficult, especially as heading out to your local grocery store becomes less of a viable option.

Because of this, stocking up on shelf-stable foods is vitally important. Whether it’s canned soup or bags of rice, it’s smart to have food on-hand capable of lasting a long time. To help figure out which shelf-stable foods are best, we consulted with Samantha Cassetty, an MS, RD, nutrition and wellness expert with a private practice based in New York City.

“Ideally, you’re looking for shelf-stable foods that pack a nutritional punch,” she told Business Insider. “That means opting for mostly plant-based foods that contain fiber along with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other health- and immune-supporting compounds.”

Cassetty recommends a variety of items that aren’t just tasty and nutritional, but food that allows you to survive on for an extended period of time. Things like rice, quinoa, dried or canned fruits and vegetables, a variety of nuts, and canned soups that are low in sodium. She also says that canned tuna, salmon, and sardines help maintain a protein intake for your quarantine diet as well.

“Red flags for shelf-stable foods include excessive amounts of sugar, sodium, or other unwanted ingredients, like artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives,” Cassetty said. “These ingredients are indicative that your pick is less healthful.”

With those guidelines in mind, we set out to find suitable options for foods capable of keeping you well-fed while also staying fresh for long periods of time.

Here are some of the best shelf-stable food items to stock in your pantry:

Editor’s note: Erika Villalobos-Morsink, an MS, RD, and nutritionist based in New York City, also contributed to the content in this guide with input on what to look for when picking out the best shelf-stable food.

New Ulm ranked as being one of the safest cities in Minnesota!

Dance with a gnome in New Ulm recently ranked the safest cities in each state and New Ulm made the Minnesota list! Minnesota contains 853 cities, according to the League of Minnesota Cities. New Ulm ranked #17, putting our town in the top 2% of all Minnesota cities! The article explains how they came up with the lists, “We used the most recent FBI crime statistics to create state rankings. There were initially 7,430 cities in the data set [nationally]. After filtering out the cities with populations of less than 10,000, 2,929 cities remained. We then calculated violent crime rates and property crime rates by dividing the crime numbers by the population to get rates per 1,000. We also calculated the ratio of law enforcement workers to per 1,000. These were weighted with -50% for the violent crime rate, -25% for the property crime rate, and +25% for the law enforcement rate. The resulting metric gave us a the safety index score.” The higher is number, the safer the city. New Ulm had a safety index of 0.3, well below the national average!

There are a lot of factors that go into deciding where to live like education, health care and safety. New Ulm has high ranking public and private schools to choose from, along with Martin Luther College on top of the hill. Thanks to the 5-star rated New Ulm Medical Center and the Heart of New Ulm project, New Ulm has become a community that supports a culture of wellness and helps people make healthier choices where they live, learn, work and play. And now we’ve been named one of Minnesota’s safest cities!  To learn more about relocating to New Ulm, click here!

We’re wishing a special thanks to all of you that make New Ulm such a welcoming and safe community! Keep up the good work!

What’s new in knee replacement?

For a patient considering knee replacement surgery, there are new developments under study which can help enhance their quality of life. These include:

  • First, using cementless parts that allow new bone to grow into a porous prosthesis and hold the parts in place, creating a biologic fixation
  • The use of mobile-bearing knee replacement. This is where a polyethylene insert creates a dual-surface articulation by articulating with the femoral as well as tibial components. This will enhance the life of the implant by reducing wear.
  • Development of systems with improved kinematics
  • Better fixation
  • A use of bioactive joint surfaces such as hydroxyapatite, a major component and an essential ingredient of normal bone and teeth.
  • Use of navigation- guided surgery that involves the use of navigation –guided instruments with smaller incisions and less tissue damage. Only suitable trained surgeons with various measures offer this procedure.

Get Discovered, Get Seen and Get Better Remodeling Leads with NH Sales Coach

The most common question we get from remodelers when discussing tips on how to improve their home remodeling sales is how can they get not just more leads but better home renovation sales prospects? We understand where this is coming from because home improvement/remodeling jobs are big decisions and getting good qualified remodeling job leads can be very hard. For any home remodeler sales company, the quintessence of the business is home improvement leads and a good one can easily give you hundreds of thousands of dollars in return. Let NH Sales Coach assist you to achieving better home improvement job leads and better income for your home remodeler sales business.  The benefits to your business will be tremendous.

Be DiscoveredRick Storlie the New Home Sales Coach can help you with your home remodeling sales

The first step to increasing your home remodeling sales job leads is to be discovered. If you want to increase your home renovation/improvement job sales you need to become known to your customer base. At NH Sales Coach we can make this a reality. Suppose your home improvement / renovation sales company can be discovered when someone looks up “home improvement companies” on Google either through pay per click ads or simply via an organic search, at this juncture the potential customer will just know that you exist but have not yet come to the point of actually considering you for the job.  The next step is for you to be seen or get noticed. At this point in the home remodeler sales process, the customer is considering you for the job but what can really sway their decision to pick you is a characteristic that lets you standout from the rest of the companies they are also checking out. Something in the research and consideration phase should entice them well enough to make them become interested on your products and services to the point that they reach out and therefore becomes a lead.  We at NH Sales Coach can help your home remodeling sales company to become “the” company that potential customers easily discover and select to become their number one prospect for their home remodeling project.  Getting discovered and getting seen are vital to the process of generating good home renovation sales leads.  In the highly competitive world of home remodeling, you cannot disregard the importance of getting discovered and getting seen by all your prospective customers. This is the best way to get quality leads and a potential remodeling job.

Rankings and User Experience Crucial

Website ranking are a big deal, no doubt about that.  As a home remodeling sales company your position in SERPs or search engine results pages can mean the difference between a customer finding you or never ever hearing from you. The benefits of a high ranking page is tremendous.  Home renovation sales companies at the first 5 results of search engine queries reap the benefits and do considerably well in getting leads and landing a remodeling job. However, even if you land at number 1 and the customer clicked on your site but find it terrible, they will leave with a bad user experience that can affect not just your rankings but potential home renovation sales lead numbers as well. On the other hand, some home remodeling sales companies do not realize the importance of rankings and pour all their energies to a seamless website experience but if they rank poorly on searches chance are people and potential customers won’t be able to appreciate the effort they put in.  At NH Sales Coach we do not merely help you with how to get better rankings to increase your home renovation sales leads but also provide you with the knowledge to ensure that every customer who discovers your site will see you as a company worthy to be on their shortlist of candidates for the project.

What I do

From a beloved family piece or a little something you found at an auction or second-hand shop, not always is a piece of furniture looking or working at its best. Most times it is because of natural wear and tear of everyday use, sometimes due to accidents around the house or in worst cases damaged from thieves looking into locked areas. Just because it may not look much doesn’t mean that you have to take it to the skip. (more…)

Looking for a gift that is a one-off? have a broken wooden knob on a chest of drawers or a missing light pull and you don’t like having to replace the whole set? Wood turning can cover a varied range of items. Wooden bowls can make great gifts of any occasion and can be personalised with a hand carved name, their shapes are only limited by your imagination and the size of the piece of wood. If the wooden item you need is in the round no doubt it was turned on a lathe and a copy can be made. Visit this page and select turning to view some of my turning projects.

Sometimes no matter how many shops you visit, how many hours in front of the computer, you can’t always find the right piece of furniture you want: it‘s too big, too small, you love the shape but you want it in oak and it only comes in pine. Having a piece made to your requirements can be easier than you may think and there is no need to leave your home. With a home visit I go through with you to find out exactly what you would like, the space you have and how the new piece would help complement the rest of the room. (more…)

I am a second generation cabinet maker, inheriting the trade from my father who was a carpenter joiner. Apprenticed at 16, I was placed through the Youth Training Scheme with The London College of Furniture. Following 2 years’ study at Nescot, I achieved my NVQ level 3 in carpentry & joinery as the top student of the year in my course.

I worked for 7 years for Harman’s Antiques of Dorking, restoring and refurbishing a vast range of wooden antiques. I am now self-employed as a cabinet maker, continuing to restore furniture as well as designing and making bespoke pieces to commission.

6 Clues House Values Are About To Rise

Join Our Free Property Investing Facebook Group

As a budding property investor, spotting potential opportunities is crucial.

Here are six simple clues to help you identify when property values are on the verge of rising in suburban areas.

Low Vacancy Rate

A lower vacancy rate often signifies that there is a high demand from renters. Research the vacancy rate of a suburb, and if the rate is below 3%, this usually indicates that rental properties are in scarce supply in that particular area.

High demand often leads to rental price increases. Higher rental prices are attractive to property investors; this could lead to a spike in property values.

Number of Days On The Market

The length of time property is on the market can provide you with some clues about the property market in that specific area. Check the city average; if the length of time is less, it indicates that there is high demand in that area.

Extensive research is necessary when searching for potential investment opportunities. Less time on the market could also indicate high property value. Therefore, it is best to extend your research beyond the number of days a property stays on the market.

Number Of Auctions

When demand is high, real estate agents and property sellers attempt to sell more properties to create competition, which often leads to price increases. An increase in auction clearance rates could signify an imminent property boom.

Vendor Discount

Research vendor discounting, this will give you a greater understanding of market trends in your chosen suburb. The discount is the difference between the asking price and the price upon sale.

If there is a significant discount, this could mean that the buying power is in the hands of the buyer, this is often a sign of market decline. However, if the discount is insignificant, this could signify that property values are set to rise.

Infrastructure Improvement

Conduct research on infrastructure growth and improvement. Find out about development plans, road, and public transport plans. Infrastructure development plans are vital because they usually provide clues about future population growth.

Population growth will mean higher demand for housing, which could eventually lead to a rise in property value. Timing is everything when it comes to property investment, delving deeper into infrastructure growth could provide you with some hidden clues about the property market.

Take a look at council websites to find out about immediate development plans.

Percentage of Stock On The Market

An analysis of the percentage of stock on the market can provide essential clues on the state of the market in a particular suburb. Look at the number of properties on the market as a percentage of the overall number of properties in an area.

If the percentage is below 2%, this could mean that supply is low, and price increases could be a possibility if demand increases. If the overall percentage is say 3% or more, then this could signify high supply and low demand.

Summing Up

When searching for clues about the state of the property market in a particular area, it is vital you conduct thorough research on all aspects of the area you have chosen.

For example, rental property shortage could be a sign of high demand; however, it could also indicate that property values have already risen.

Analyze all factors to make intelligent, informed decisions about whether or not to invest in property in a specific area.

Three Wicked Days

Kayla grew up with a father in the pilot seat, literally. A professional airline pilot he was gone a lot and cheated every chance he got. He was a good father but a lousy husband, and that lesson has stuck with Kayla her whole life. She'll never date a pilot. And we all know you should never say never.

Steve has a rep in the company as a player. He's dated but hey, who hasn't? He is very attracted to stewardess Kayla but she's always glacier-like in her dealings with him. He's determined to break through her barriers, but is that all it is?

This was a light read with no bad guys, werewolves or assassins. I absolutely adored secondary character Jordan, Kayla's room mate and best friend. He added a lot of levity to the story. The story is nothing new, but was more an old friend that you just start up with and go with the flow when reunited. The sex was steamy, Steve was adorably confused about his own feelings and Kayla was stoic but human. A good entertaining read.

Book Blurb for Three Wicked Days

Steve and Kayla agreed to three days together with no strings attached. But Steve’s finding it harder than he thought it would be to keep to the bargain. Now he only has Three Wicked Days to prove to Kayla that he wants more than just a vacation fling. Come along for the fun in Trista Ann Michaels’ new, wonderfully passionate romance.

When Kayla’s job as a flight attendant leaves her stuck in a tropical paradise for three days, she should be ecstatic. Instead, she has to work even harder to avoid Steve, the gorgeous pilot she’s always refused to even give the time of day to because of his reputation. Steve’s womanizing ways strike too close to home, and Kayla refuses to let her lust override his reputation.

Steve has had the hots for Kayla from the day he first laid eyes on her, but he hasn’t found a way to get past the cold shoulder she always seems to have just for him. He hopes their unexpected vacation will give him the chance he needs to show her he’s not the man she thinks he is.

When they finally acknowledge their mutual physical desire, they agree to a tropical fling to get each other out of their system. They’ll have three days with no emotions involved and no strings attached, and then it’s back to their normal lives.

Kayla is intent on holding up her end of the bargain, but for Steve, it’s much harder. When he begins to suspect his feelings run deeper than just physical attraction, he has to figure out how to convince her that the rumors about him aren’t true and that he can be the man she needs.

Nintendo likes to surprise us, but, as E3 2018 approached, leaks that started to surface had not only surrounded Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee!.

We now know that reports were correct in the Ice Climbers returning and Ridley being added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the globally popular Fortnite landing on Nintendo Switch, and even several other games like Paladins, Overcooked 2 and Killer Queen Black being announced and playable on the show floor.

Throw in the Retro Studios-developed Star Fox: Grand Prix, which was a surprising absence this week, and it’s understandable to hear from Nintendo of America president and chief operating officer Reggie Fils-Aime
that the company finds it “really disappointing” when it happens.

“You know, as a company, we want to surprise and delight our fans. That’s what we live to do,” Fils-Aime told IGN. “So when leaks happen, it’s really disappointing. We work hard to maintain the confidentiality of our information.

“In this day and age where everyone has a camera and everyone is looking for their 10 seconds of internet fame, it’s really tough. But we try hard, very hard to keep our information confidential and keep leaks from happening.”

Custom Urban Airship Message Center Templates

Key Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (with jQuery), UA Console

To make a better guest experience I was asked create some new html templates to be used in our app’s message center (powered by Urban Airship). Although this used technologies I already knew, there was a ton of specialized learning to understand how all the pieces fit together.

Some key callouts were: understanding how the html entities needed to be prepared/attributed in the template creation process so that the UA CMS sees them as editable fields, exploring how the UA webview creates a JS bridge and passes a UA object to be used by template at run-time, and how the template itself reaches out to UA for user specific data with the help of data passed in the CMS process.

Fall Into. . . Fire on the Mountain: A Detective Mike Eiser Novel by @ClabePolk #suspense #mystery #

Title: Fire on the Mountain: A Detective Mike Eiser Novel

Author: Clabe Polk

Genre: Mystery/Action/Thriller/Suspense

Book Blurb:

Peter Stanwick did one thing wrong; he got killed.

Stanwick, the dead ‘cook’ for Jack Haven’s crank operation, was found with Jack’s wife, Susan’s cross in his pocket; its chain broken. How did it get there?

Mike Eiser needs to know.

Jack’s lab where Stanwick worked is torched. Susan is beaten severely. Jack dies suddenly. A traffic accident or murder? Who burned the lab and why? Why was Susan beaten and by whom?

Mike Eiser needs to know.

The Havens are a dynasty of bootleggers with history dating back to reconstruction progressing from bootlegging moonshine whiskey to growing and distributing marijuana. Brothers Jack and Jason compete to produce and distribute crank. DEA is unable to locate one or more crank labs in Jericho County. Will Eiser’s investigation of Standwick’s murder lead the way?

Mike Eiser needs to know.

Can Eiser, his girlfriend, Arson Investigator Donna Miley, and his partner Malcom “Mini” Moore wade through the Haven family’s entangled motives while sorting through piles of twisted confused evidence to solve multiple murders?

Will Susan use the ongoing investigations and the internal family tension to burn the Haven family down?

Mike Eiser needs to know!

“Hide your eyes,” Sondra said. “You looked last time!”

Quinton huffed. “Did not!”

“Yeah, yah did!” said Sondra. She spun him around to face the river. “Cover your eyes like this.” She placed her hands over his eyes from behind. He raised his hands on top of her hands. She moved her hands away, leaving his to cover his eyes. “That’s right,” she said, dashing away upslope. “Keep ‘em covered!”

Quinton covered his eyes tightly and focused on counting. At ten, he heard a loud thump, bushes rustling, and a groan. Whirling around, he saw Sondra lying flat on her belly among the grass and underbrush. The sarcastic comment that burst from his mind to his tongue died there as Sondra flailed around, rolled over to her left, and seemingly levitated to her feet with a blood-curdling shriek while backpeddling down slope, falling backwards over a tree root still screaming, a wild, terrified look in her eyes.

Quinton caught her and pulled her to her feet. “Wot happened?”

Sondra opened her mouth to speak, then closed it and shook her head. She shook free of Quinton and raced to the trail, walking quickly back the way they’d come, hugging herself tightly and sobbing uncontrollably. At the tree line she yelled through her tears, “Damn, QT, let’s get out of here!”

“Yuh goin’ ta tell me wot’s up?”

Pointing a shaking hand, she answered, “There’s a…a…body back there!”

“A body?” QT grinned. “Yah sho’?”

“Damned straight I’m sure! I freaking know what a body looks like. If you don’t believe me, get your ass up there and look!”

“Okay…okay, Ah believe yuh.” He walked uphill toward where she’d fallen. “Gimme a second, okay?”

“Shouldn’t we call the police?”

“In a minute. Jes’ lemme look, okay?” Quinton could now see what caused her to trip. A foot clad in a black boot protruded from the ground. He squatted for a closer look.

The boot was attached to a blue jeans clad leg that disappeared into the soil. A couple of feet away, a hand extended from a camouflaged shirtsleeve that emerged from underground in the same manner as the boot and blue jeans. Softened by digging the grave, the soil had been eroded by recent spring rains. Quinton could not see the head or any other details, but a sunken impression marked the edges of the grave. The hand was not decomposed; the body had not been there very long. Wild animals had not picked at it, meaning it had probably been uncovered by the hard rain the night before. Displaced soil and leaves showed Sondra had fallen squarely on top of the grave. No wonder she freaked out.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned in time to intercept Sondra coming up behind him. “Whoa!” he said. “Yuh don need ta see any mo’ o’ dat!”

“I’m okay now. I want to see it,” she said.

He stepped back. “Okay...whatever.”

Sondra studied the grave, including the boot and the hand carefully, and then with a deep involuntary shudder, whirled abruptly and headed back toward the trail. “We need to call the cops.”.

“’Cept for de dancin’, dat’s da bes’ suggestion yah’ve had all day.” Quinton grinned.

“Wow, Mike…just when we thought we’d finally get a Saturday off the dead bodies start appearing. Crappy timing, huh?” groused Detective Malcolm “Mini” Moore as he and Detective Mike Eiser walked the Muscovy River trail. “It must be hard to find time to work on the house.”

“Yeah,” answered Eiser, “today I was supposed to be doing electrical work, putting in a new load center. I have to rewire the whole thing to bring it up to code, so I might as well start with the basics.”

“That stuff takes time, and spare time is something you haven’t got. How long have you been working on that thing now? What does Donna think about how long it’s taking?”

“She’s fine with it,” replied Eiser. “She even gave me a dog yesterday, a Rottweiler, to ‘keep me company while I work’ she said. “I’m ripping out all the drywall so rewiring it won’t be so tough.”

“Yeah. Makes my back hurt just thinking about it. You need to hire some help,” Mini said.

“Can’t afford contractors,” said Eiser. “I need to do most of it myself.”

“I hear you, man. But just one helper? It would make a big difference.”

They walked a while in companionable silence. Mini Moore, the gentle giant, was a former college football linebacker standing six foot five and over two-hundred thirty pounds of hard muscle. A well-educated black man, a power-lifter, and talented investigator with common sense, he had been Mike Eiser’s partner since Charlie Bozeman’s death to a sniper a couple of years previous.

Eiser, on the other hand, was a hard-charging five-eight, one hundred-sixty pounds of investigative determination who had replaced Charlie Bozeman as Sheriff Glenn Glassman’s chief of detectives. The popular duo were called “Mutt and Jeff” by their fellow officers.

“A dog, huh?” said Moore, breaking the silence. “A puppy?”

“Nah, he’s about a year old. She got him from the shelter. He’s already ninety pounds.”

“What’d you name him?” Moore asked.

“Bad Ass. I call him BA.”

“Shit!” exclaimed Moore with a belly laugh. “That’s a riot! With a name like that how can he go wrong? What did Donna think about it?”

“She thought it was funny but she said I could have thought of something a little classier.”

“I’ll bet she did,” said Moore. “Donna’s a classy lady. Naming a dog, even a Rottweiler, ‘Bad Ass’ would never occur to her.”

“There they are. Oh Lord! It’s QT and Sondra,” Eiser said, nodding toward the young couple standing at the edge of the path with a uniformed deputy. “Damn, looks like Artie’s here too.”

Pyralis: Former Members of Disembodied, Too Pure to Die Return with Purpose

Photo courtesy of Good Fight Music

Pyralis have been quietly building up momentum in Minneapolis now since forming in 2016, writing heavy songs that have a Fugazi-like spark of the odd and unexpected to them every so often as well, but only if Dwid from Integrity had been in Fugazi instead of Guy Piccioto maybe. That’s a complicated analogy, I know, and surely one that future generations of musicologists will puzzle over some day, but just trust me - you’ll know those moments when you hear them.

Their live appearances around the Twin Cities have got the local hardcore kids all-a-buzz these days as the band has steadily laid down some rock solid foundations for their increasingly formidable live performances, with each successive show taking it up another notch.

Photo: Facebook

The Edifice of Doom the band is building starts off with the cornerstone to their sound that is provided by the sinister vocals and dramatic stage presence of Aaron Bryce-Weseman, best known previously for his work with Twin Cities metalcore legends Disembodied. It’s still early days for the band but with some recent news it’s safe to say that Pyralis are on their way to hardcore scene stardom and their arrival is only about a month away (more on that in a moment.)

I was in town visiting my mom this past summer (which is a punk thing to do, so fuck off!) and I caught their show in St. Paul with Code Orange. The incredible Vein were also on the bill as well. A whole lot of crazy good music hit the stage that evening, and Pyralis may have opened but nothing that came after made me forget their set (not even all the beer I drank or losing my glasses after getting clocked by some 16-year-old in the pit). Okay, okay — maybe Code Orange looked flashier with their fur coats and Grammy-caliber glam rock outfits, sure. And maybe Vein is just kind of a notch better than everything else in hardcore at the moment, yes, that’s possible based on their latest album alone. But Pyralis held their own and you can bet they’ll be able to do a lot more than that as things progress.

Photo: Facebook

And progress is indeed being made. Last week saw the release of an official video for their new song “Daggers” as well as a big announcement that bodes well for their future success: Good Fight Music is releasing Pyralis’s debut EP, Everything Is Emptiness, on Nov. 30.

Actually, to call it an EP Is kind of selling it short given that it’s a 6-song release. Double EP might be apropos if it was two 7” records I suppose, but I don’t think that’s the plan. Half an album might also be accurate in a sense, but it also makes one think of an LP that only has music on one side of it, you know? And that’d be kind of bullshit, though I’m sure Gravity or somebody found occasion to try it at least once, who knows. It might have been pressed as a 10” back in the day with 3 songs to a side depending on their running time. Eh, whatever the fuck 6 great songs released together should properly be called in the digital age now that format has been rendered nearly irrelevant, that’s exactly what it is, so get ready for it.

Pyralis’ other members are all accomplished musicians coming from former bands such as Torch the Spires and Too Pure to Die. And they play in other projects you may know and love already: Brent is also in the band Wanderer and Erik and Danny also play in Ghost Replicant. Their musicianship and songwriting combined with Aaron’s signature roars of pain and demonic rage should provide a potent recipe for their future songs and no doubt the release of a full-length LP.

Or maybe they’ll just do another half of an album, like the next 6 songs once they’re ready to go I guess? Combine the two releases into anthology? A double half album? Quadruple EP maybe for the second pressing? I have no clue. All I can tell you is that we are living in a digital world and I am a digital girl. Errr — man, that is. Like Max Headroom but more annoying and even more poorly animated. It’s true, I’m like that. So don’t listen to me, listen to Pyralis and if you’d done that in the first place you could have skipped all of this. That’s the real lesson here. If you think I’m too prone to verbose and ornate self-expression and you’d rather just cut the crap and get on with it, listen to the music in question and you’ll know more than anyone could ever tell you about it with mere words. Pro-tip!

Oh, and if you’re not a Minnesotan and you’re itching to see Pyralis live for yourself, well … There may be a short East Coast tour in the works for this Spring, so keep an eye out for announcements. And promoters — you might want to put some feelers out and book this band while you can so that you’ve got some announcements to make yourselves. Just sayin.

Pyralis' EP, Everything Is Emptiness, will be out on Nov. 30 via Good Fight Music and can be pre-ordered now.

Leaves Eyes - The Last Viking | Album Review

After founding member Liv Kristine's departure from Leaves Eyes in 2016, Eliina Siirala has had big shoes to fill but does so on The Last Viking deftly, albeit in a different style. Providing operatic soprano vocals with more of a darker timbre sounding more akin to Tarja Turunen of Nightwish fame, than the delicate and fae soprano vocals Liv Kristine is best known for. In fact, in terms of the whole sound it is much more similar to Tarja-era Nightwish than to older Leaves Eyes material, with its blend of operatic soprano vocals and Alexander Krull's low grunting death growls, orchestral elements, folk inspired melodies and heavy guitars and bass.

The Last Viking is full of catchy folk/power metal riffs and it seems on this album there is more of a prominent folk and power metal influence as opposed to the more gothic melodies on the early albums of the Liv Kristine era. It also seems the production is more bombastic and dramatic compared to the subtlety of earlier albums such as Lovelorn. The album opens with atmospheric strings building up, along with bird calls, choral lines and the occasional grunted phrase, setting an atmosphere of Viking metal as is to be expected from the album title.

At 14 tracks, The Last Viking is a long album but has enough variation and memorable moments to maintain interest throughout. 'Dark Love Empress' is a definite highlight, with an infectious chorus vocal hook bound to remain in your head for long after. 'Two Kings One Realm' has some baritone clean vocals and the feel of telling a saga or ballad accompanied by some tribal sounding drumming. Unfortunately the repeated calls of 'ay-o, ay-o', presumably intended to sound like mystical folk chanting, instead sound a little like Bastille's 'Pompeii'.

'Varangians' features bagpipes and folky guitar and bass lines which sound inspired by the likes of Celtic rock bands such as Big Country and Thin Lizzy. The chorus is fun and rousing with its lyrics of camaraderie: 'all band together once and for all', interestingly the melody is very similar to Slade's 'Run Run Away'.

The final track 'The Last Viking' opens with an ominous foghorn sound (which drones on for perhaps a little too long), marking a sudden change in tone from the lighter songs preceding it. Fittingly the death growls take the chorus on this one to match the darker mood.

Overall The Last Viking is a solid album with plenty of memorable tracks to take away. For fans of Leaves Eyes' early material this may not necessarily hit the spot, as it is distinct in style from older releases. However, if said fans also enjoy other symphonic acts such as Nightwish, it is likely to be enjoyed nonetheless.

Recommended for fans of: Nightwish, Diabulus in Musica, Sirenia, Epica, After Forever

Score: 7/10

Types of walking

Northampton is historically known for its shoe making, so it’s only fitting that we touch on the fantastic walks around our county. With forest, woodland and canal towpaths there is a walk to suit any age and any ability.

Park and stride

Some schools arrange park and stride drop off points, for example at a local shop or a leisure centre, where you can park up and walk your child the rest of the way to school. Not only does this give you and your child a quick burst of fresh air and light exercise in the morning, it also reduces congestion at the school gates, parking related stress and the likelihood of an accident.

Urban walking

Urban walking includes walking to work, to school, to the shops and general getting yourself from A to B.

By stomping the streets we are keeping our carbon footprint to the bare minimum, taking in the fresh air and keeping our minds and hearts healthy. The urban walker is more likely to notice the changes taking place within the urban environment and less prone to the stresses and anxieties of overcrowded public transport and congested roads. It’s very easy to keep a change of shoes in a small bag! So next time you go to get in your car, first of all think, can I walk it?

Slider Carousel

Nordic walking

Nordic walking is an enhancement of walking. By using specially designed walking poles and a technique that ensures they are planted behind the body as a means of propulsion, Nordic Walking becomes a gentle but effective way to work the whole body. Northamptonshire Sport provides Nordic Walking courses for beginners, leading up to joining a regular group.

How to walk safely

Make sure to wear sensible clothing, carry bottled water with you and ensure you are noticeable to fellow walkers, cyclists or road users. Wearing a high visibility vest will help to make you more noticeable. When discovering a new walk it is always beneficial to be aware of your route, especially in the months where the evenings draw in early. Always cross roads safely by using pedestrian crossings where possible and remember to think, stop, look and listen.

Northamptonshire County Council has produced a series of short walks leaflets and maps for each of the districts in Northamptonshire. There are also county paths maps for those wanting a more strenuous route.

Weather Eye: April to end on nice note; rainy weekend ahead

So, what does this last day of April bring us? The tail end of Wednesday’s weak weather system could have dropped a little moisture early here and there but skies will break up by afternoon and we enjoy another nice day. Temperatures will be closer to normal, about 64 degrees, so don’t get too comfortable or spoiled with all this 70-degree weather of late.

We had a whole week’s worth of 70-degree-plus weather, yep seven days’ worth. Rainfall as of 5 p.m. Wednesday totaled .91 of an inch. Some light scattered showers or drizzle was expected around the county but it is possible the official gauge for Vancouver at Pearson Field measured less than enough to reach the 1-inch mark.

Checking the monthly statistics, this month is the driest since July. But that was summer, not spring, so this is quite unusual to get an inch or less of those April showers. It could be the driest April since the mid-1960s, still waiting for the month to end to score that one.

Although we enjoyed many 70-degree days, we never reached the upper milestone of 80 degrees plus. But guess what? It may be coming to blue skies over you. Just not this weekend. In fact, we have quite the opposite. A good soaking rain Saturday and Sunday with amounts hopefully a half-inch to 1 inch around Clark County. Boy we surely need that.

The old weather eye will be focused next week around midweek and see if it materializes. Meanwhile May Day will be partly cloudy — or partly sunny if you prefer — and around 70 degrees. If the clouds keep us overcast we may not even reach 60 degrees over the weekend. Late Saturday and Sunday, the Cascade passes will see falling snow. A touch of winter in the mountains will be short-lived. It will at least slow down the rapid snowmelt of the past week.

Hang in there as we roll into May and get through the rain this weekend and look toward sunny weather later on next week.
