Why Do My Lungs Burn?

Why do my lungs burn periodically? I had pneumonia about 8 months ago, and since that time, off and on, my lungs burn and/or feel heavy.

Dear Sir/Madam- I am unsure if you are asking a question about pneumonia (an infection of the lungs) or sarcoidosis (a non-infectious disease of the lung)? Assuming that you do have sarcoidosis, it is not uncommon to experience chest pain, including a burning sensation. If the pain is made worse by exertion or by ingesting certain foods or drinks, then causes other than sarcoidosis should be considered. You should consult your doctor to help determine the cause of your chest discomfort.

This is the clash of the macho men, Arnold and Sylvester! I'd like to thank Andrew Baranyi for the great sound boards! Enjoy!

Rated 5 / 5 stars

It was only a matter of moment

Yes, it was only a matter of moment until that moment finally came for Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger & Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone to meet face to face in real life so they got to create movies together in real life itself.

Now if only Arnold Schwarzenegger & Sylvester Stallone actually decided to one day create a movie called "The Prank Caller" and a bunch of other crazy movies, the people of the world would go all out crazy just because they did.

Rated 3 / 5 stars

pretty, random, the sound was kinda low quality, and it didnt make sense, but it seemed funny when i could make out what they were saying, maybe make a new version with improved sound quality, good graphics, ill give humor a five cuz im not sure what happens

6 for you.

Rated 5 / 5 stars

no one gets it

this is the funniest thing i've seen in a long time. wow. i can't describe it. i could, but i can't. not now. i love ur movies.

Rated 2 / 5 stars

could be better

you need to put mreo time into this animation. its a very good idea i must say. i think you need to make it more interesting than two talking bodies.

Rated 1.5 / 5 stars

i dont know i didnt really like it

but of course thats my opinion just look at your score

 Search to start over for Manchester superintendent | New Hampshire

Search to start over for Manchester superintendent

MANCHESTER - The school board's search for a new superintendent will "start over" after one candidate withdrew at the last minute and the other two failed to gain a majority backing Tuesday evening.

Mayor Ted Gatsas said the search firm will be asked "to find out what the candidate pool would look like" if the $140,000 to $170,000 salary range was raised.

During the closed-door meeting, the board was split almost equally between the two remaining finalists and beginning another round of searching.

"We shouldn't settle for somebody," said Mayor Ted Gatsas, who chairs the school board. "We should make sure we have selected the right person ..."

Nearly 80 people applied to replace Thomas Brennan, who is paid $165,500 a year and is leaving June 30 after four years. Brennan said Wednesday that several people, including some administrators and school board members, asked him to reconsider his decision to leave his post, but he said "it's time for me" to go.

Mark Toback, superintendent of schools in Hoboken, N.J., said he withdrew his name from consideration Tuesday evening before the school board interviewed him. Toback, who said Manchester treated him fairly, declined to give a reason.

"That's something I prefer to keep confidential, personal," Toback said in a phone interview from Hoboken.

The other two finalists - Geoffrey Gordon, former superintendent of Port Washington, N.Y., and Vincent Cotter, retired superintendent of the Colonial School District in Pennsylvania - failed to win over a majority of school board members. Gordon didn't return a phone message and Cotter couldn't be reached.

"I think the general consensus was we should keep on looking," Ward 7 school board member Dave Gelinas said.

"We're looking for the best candidate, the best person and the best superintendent," Gelinas said. "I believe we were all prepared to vote for a candidate (Tuesday) night and that candidate hasn't arrived."

Gelinas said he was told a new superintendent could be named by the end of April, but others were skeptical of that timetable.

"If we get this done by the end of June, we'll be lucky," said Ward 9 school board member Arthur Beaudry, a member of the search committee.

Beaudry said he was ready to vote for one of the two finalists

"I'm very discouraged we didn't pick out a candidate," he said. "Literally hundreds of hours some of us have put into this search. It seems all for naught."

"The two finalists would have done a good job here," Beaudry said. "They were both no-nonsense individuals. They weren't going to put up with the politicians, at least that's what I got out of it. ... That scared some people."

Brennan is the highest-paid district chief in the state. According to a 2010 national survey by the Educational Research Service, the average salary for a district with 10,000 to 25,000 students was $178,786. (Manchester has slightly more than 15,000 students.)

Brennan said he has kept out of the search process but suggested a bump in salary would attract better candidates.

"I know people don't want to hear that," he said. "If they were able to come to some consensus on a higher salary, you would see more applicants who have urban experience in medium to large school districts."

Search Committee Chairman Ted Rokas, school board member from Ward 5, released a statement on the search process.

"We are committed to the process and committed to getting it right," he said. "Simply put, we are unwilling to settle for anything less than the very best. We will work with the search firm the committee has engaged to find the right fit for the district."

Rokas said the search committee among other things was going to "review the feedback from the various community groups and stakeholders and start over."

He said "all of the gentlemen we interviewed were competent and brought something new and different to the table. This decision is by no means a reflection on them personally."

14 Weight Loss Foods That Will Help You Get Back In Shape

Weight loss is a touchy subject and each one of us wants to try everything in the book without making it obvious to others that we’re trying to lose weight. But you have to eat right to have a healthy weight loss without indulging in shortcuts. So here we give a list of so-called weight loss foods and whether it’s a good idea to have these in the menu every day.

1. Methi seeds

This is one weight loss remedy a lot of fitness enthusiast abides by. All you do is soak a tablespoon of methi seeds in water overnight. Strain it in the morning and drink the water. The natural soluble fibres in methi seeds makes our stomach swell and gives us a feeling we’re full and suppresses our appetite. This helps to remove water retention in the body and bloating.

2. Green Tea

Well, it’s one weight loss drink, which is widely propagated tea companies. But several study findings are inconsistent with regards to just how much green tea actually benefits healthy weight loss in human beings. Dr. KK Agarwal, consultant for Medicine and Cardiology at Moolchand Heart Hospital, New Delhi says, “While green tea may boost metabolism; this is not enough to make one lose weight fast, unless people complement it with physical workouts and other alternatives.”
While it is true that green tea is rich in flavinoids and that flavinoids have various health benefits, it is also true that black tea has theaflavins – also healthy, also supported by health studies. Further – “All the proven scientific benefits of green tea would hold true only if large quantities are consumed i.e. 8-10 cups/day which is not advisable. So the health benefits one gets out of consuming 2-3 cups/day are better bowel movements, prevention of gastrointestinal bacterial infections and better immunity provided fresh fruits and vegetables are a part of the daily diet.

3. Hot honey lemon water

Ok, honestly, I follow it every morning, it’s more like a habit now, because it spikes my metabolism and makes me feel… awake! But as explained by Livestrong.com, “The truth is, no single food or drink, including lemon or honey, is a magic bullet that will help you lose the weight you put on over time. Your best bet when you’re trying to trim down is to make your calories count, opting for nutrient-dense, fiber-rich whole foods over processed or fast foods. In conjunction with a healthy eating regimen, follow a regular schedule of exercise that you enjoy and will stick with.” In fact if you exceed the amount of honey in your drink, you can actually put on weight.

4. Cinnamon

Everything is nice about this weight loss food. Just 1/2 teaspoon each day can help control your blood sugar and prevent the post meal insulin spike that can trigger your body to store fat rather than burn it. Cinnamon has thermogenic effects that greatly increase your metabolic rate.

5. Yogurt

Yogurt is a great source of calcium which helps in the growth of muscles. It boosts your immune system. According to a study mentioned in the International Journal of Obesity, greek yogurt is a great snack which helps in reducing belly fat by 80%. Greek yogurt has extra protein when compared to normal yogurt and has less sugar as well. In order to make your cup of yogurt healthier, add nuts, almonds or any seasonal fruit to it. But remember to keep your snack healthy and don’t heap it with cereal, nuts, and sweeteners.

6. Egg whites

Egg yolks have three times the calories than egg whites, so consume egg whites if you are trying to lose weight. But it is also important how you eat it, if you’re frying your egg white or slathering your egg white sandwiches with cheese and bacon, you are not going to lose weight.

7. Banana

Take care regarding your overall calorie count requirements. Since carbohydrates are nothing but sugar chains, an overload even in terms of fruit consumption could lead to excess calories and fat storage. Therefore, as with everything else, consume bananas in moderation.

8. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a perfect choice when looking for a low-calorie ingredient with the least number of calories compared to any other grain. A cup of oatmeal contains only about 130 calories. Soluble fibre helps you feel full for longer and also help eliminate the toxins in your stomach. Oatmeal is a good source of soluble fibre which helps you lose weight.

9. Kabuli chana/ Chickpea

It tastes great when you boil it, or toss it in a 3 bean salad, don’t you agree? The nutlike taste and buttery texture of chickpeas is not the only reason to eye this humble pea; its amazing weight loss capabilities makes it a dieters favourite. Due to their high fiber content, chickpeas make a great weight loss food by making one feel fuller for longer. The fibre content also takes care of digestive disorders.

10. Brown rice

White rice is one of the worst enemy of weight loss. Weight watchers and dieters should substitute white rice with brown rice. Brown rice is a whole grain food that contains good amounts of vitamin E, B, magnesium, iron and fibre. This regulates hunger, metabolism and bowel functionality.

11. Raddishx_1447752294

It’s crunchy, its filing and contains just 19 calories per cup! This makes radish an amazing weight loss food. It is rich in potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. with high water content and thus, it’s a great hydrating food.

12. Apple

One apple can keep you satiated for a long time and hence help you eat less. Our body also takes longer to digest the complex fibre as compared to other sweet foods or junk that we eat. Apple’s peel consist of a type of fibre called ursolic acid. According to a study done on mice, this acid is linked to lower risk of obesity as it fuels the burning of calories and spiking the muscles fat.

13. Walnuts

As quoted by sciencedaily.com, according to U.S researcher, Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton, “Walnuts rank above peanuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios and other nuts. A handful of walnuts contains almost twice as much antioxidants as an equivalent amount of any other commonly consumed nut”. This weight loss food tastes delicious and is low in cholesterol. While consuming this weight loss food one needs to remember that these are high calorie food that needs to be eaten in moderation.

14. Garlic

Garlic is a great appetite controller – perfect for healthy weight loss. Overweight people who sprinkled their food with the zero-calorie spice lost an average of 13.5 kg in six months, compared to only a 0.9 kg loss in the control group.

Salsa in Barcelona at Antilla

Since I started salsa-dancing I always heard that Barcelona was the salsa capital in Europe. Which was actually one of the reasons I wanted to come here in the first place. I am addicted you see. Salsa is my passion, it’s my number one favourite thing in this world, and always makes me forget all possible worries and problems, it puts a huge smile on my face and makes me feel so light and happy.

The music is amazing, the Spanish lyrics sound hot hot (although I don’t understand most of it!) and salsa-people are so friendly. (Normally, although it was not the case in Málaga
I had done my research and picked out one place for last night and from the moment I entered the door till I went home late late late, I had a blast!

The energy was higher than high, the club was sizzling! Happy faces everywhere, people from all over the world united to dance salsa. Beautiful! I got in, got myself a drink for company and sat down at a stool just watching people dance. Although I LOVE dancing, I also really enjoy watching people dance. It’s so beautiful, how their arms and legs swirl, fold and unfold into beautiful figures and turns.

After about half an hour I was asked to dance and from then on, I didn’t get to ever sit down again. After each tune, another guy picked me up to continue.
I had such an amazing time, and people were so friendly and respectful. I am already looking forward to next time!

Antilla can be found at C/Aragó 141-143. Their web:

  1. Sounds amazing! I'm looking forward to following your experience in your new home!

  2. It was amazing!! Happy to have you onboard ;)

College of Veterinary Medicine's incoming dean discusses research, trends, hospital for animals

Michael I. Kotlikoff, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell, will become the new dean of the college July 1. He succeeds Donald F. Smith, who is ending his 10-year deanship to return to the veterinary faculty. Kotlikoff sat down with staff writer Krishna Ramanujan to discuss what's on his mind as he prepares to take the helm of the Vet College.

You run a very strong research program. How will you find time to balance your research interests with all the responsibilities of being dean?

It will be a significant challenge. There are excellent people in the lab, and we have talked about ways in which individuals can develop more independence. I like the model of a working dean, and while it is difficult to pull off, it is something that keeps one connected with the daily problems that faculty face. Also, research is something from which I derive a tremendous amount of enjoyment and which I would be very reluctant to give up.

Could you talk about different directions you would like to take the Vet College?

As part of my presentation to the university I discussed a number of specific ideas that I would like to present to the faculty. These include the development of more flexible programs for the training of veterinarians and retention of faculty, as we are failing to attract veterinarians to academic medicine, and I would like to develop specific programs to address this issue.

Another major goal is to solidify and extend our position as a leader in clinical medicine and public health. The latter position is particularly challenging, as we face increasing expectations and responsibilities associated with emerging public health threats, while our program funding has actually declined. I look forward to developing a strong effort to ensure that Cornell continues its outstanding tradition as a leader in infectious disease research and public health.

On the research side, we have particular excellence in infection biology, genomics and the genetic basis of disease, in cancer biology and cell signaling, as well as in reproductive and cardiovascular biology. I would like to see these programs continue to mature and to form the basis of collaborative interactions with our colleagues.

Finally, I would also like to build on the fund-raising success of Dean [Don] Smith by raising the awareness of the importance of Cornell among people with a deep commitment to animals and animal health, and convincing these individuals of the unique strengths and importance of this college to veterinary medicine.

Do you see any trends in veterinary medicine on the whole that you would like to correct for or see continue?

We are at the leading edge of a great opportunity to understand the genetic basis of complex traits using animal species for which we have not had mature genetic tools in the past. The best example is the dog, which has a number of well recognized genetic characteristics such as body size and shape, behavior and disease susceptibility, a highly similar genome within breeds, and a completed, high-quality whole genome sequence. You may have seen [a recent] Science article that discussed the genetic basis of size differences between big dogs and small dogs that was produced by Cornell and National Institutes of Health researchers. Our strengths in genomics, computational and statistical biology and phenotype analysis uniquely position Cornell to exploit this emerging area of biological discovery.

Are there ways to enhance synergy in research between this college and Weill Cornell Medical College?

One of my goals is to educate faculty at both campuses about what's available at the other campus. So we've been recruiting people from Weill to come up, make presentations and meet our faculty. We've also recently begun to have joint retreats that are focused on specific research areas, which have led to collaborative NIH proposals. I would like to foster these interactions.

Where does the animal hospital fit in the overall role of the Vet College, and do you see any ways to strengthen the hospital's role?

The Cornell University Hospital for Animals is the central focus of many of our research, education and surveillance activities, and the delivery of first-rate medicine to our patients. Some veterinary colleges do not have a teaching hospital or provide clinical training to students in a variety of collaborative ways. This eliminates much of the cost of veterinary education, but also much of the distinctive benefit. Our students are in the hospital and exposed to clinical medicine from their first days at the college, which is of enormous benefit for their education. The animal hospital also provides a tremendous service to our community, our alumni and to the state, as a tertiary-care medical facility. The integration of the hospital in our research, teaching and clinical missions is an essential ingredient in our excellence, and each of these efforts would be diminished in the absence of this unique facility.

Nickelodeon has canceled the teen sitcom "Sam & Cat," a spinoff of both "iCarly" and "Victorious," starring two of those shows' stars.

"Nickelodeon will not be producing more episodes of 'Sam & Cat,' " a network representative said in a statement. "We are very proud of the show and its very talented cast and we wish them all the best."

The series -- starring 22-year-old Jennette McCurdy as Sam Puckett of "iCarly" and 21-year-old Ariana Grande as Cat Valentine of "Victorious" as roommates running a baby-sitting business -- will end with its 36th episode, airing Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

"Sam & Cat" debuted in June 2013 as the network's most-watched live-action premiere in three years.

In a lengthy Facebook post, Grande thanked the cast, crew and fans, and alluded to having known of the cancellation. "So the news is out about 'Sam & Cat,' " she wrote. "I felt it wasn't my place to make any sort of announcement so I kept quiet until now."

Two longtime Hempstead Village residents -- an architect and a well-connected Democratic official -- have been appointed by the village board as new commissioners for the village's troubled housing authority.

The authority is the subject of federal administrative and criminal investigations.

Marcia Turner and Andrena Wyatt -- picked by Hempstead Mayor Wayne Hall Sr. for the seven-member board -- were approved unanimously at Tuesday's meeting. All board seats now are filled.

"I chose them because I wanted to get a fresh start in the housing authority," said Hall, who appoints five board members. "I know these two women would do the right thing on the board as commissioners, so we can get the housing authority back on the right track and bring back integrity to the board."

The beleaguered agency is the subject of an administrative review from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development and a criminal investigation by HUD's Office of the Inspector General, which operates independently from HUD.

Last month, the housing authority board placed executive director Stacey Stackhouse on 30-day administrative leave without pay. New board chairman Gilford Finch, who took over last month after Cornell Bozier resigned, has refused Hall's call for his own resignation. Accounting clerk Margarita Shif has been handling the authority's day-to-day financial operations, officials have said.

The housing authority is $1.3 million in deficit, Finch said at a meeting Thursday night, citing an April letter from HUD.

The status of Stackhouse, the executive director since May 2011, has yet to be determined pending the board reconvening, housing authority attorney Charlene Thompson said. In the meantime, the authority is seeking to appoint an interim director, Thompson said.

She said the authority suggested a process for such an appointment to HUD and is awaiting the agency's feedback.

Wyatt, 44, a public information supervisor for the Nassau County Board of Elections and village resident for more than 25 years, has a dual bachelor's degree in psychology and political science from Long Island University. She is president of the New Hempstead Democratic Club, executive board member of the village's Community Benefits Agreement Committee, and a member of the planning board.

"My first thing is to identify the problems and to work with the rest of the board members to eliminate those problems," said Wyatt, who attended the meeting with Turner.

Turner, a village resident since 1987, is an assistant architect for the New York City Housing Authority. She has a bachelor of science degree in architecture and a bachelor of architecture from City College. "We hope that something good will come out of this new board," she said. "I want to see some changes."

OXON HILL, Md. - Returning to the national stage, Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Saturday that the Republican Party must broaden its message to grow.

"We must leave no American behind," she said in a populist speech that electrified supporters at a conservative summit in suburban Washington. "And we must share our powerful message of freedom and liberty to all citizens — even those who may disagree on some issues."

Palin has maintained a low profile during last year's election. She's expected to play a limited role in the future of the GOP but shared several recommendations Saturday.

Instead of focusing on rebuilding the Republican Party, she said that party leaders should focus on rebuilding the middle class.

She jabbed President Barack Obama and the Republican professional class alike, urging the crowd to reject the ideas of political consultants and pollsters, taking a not-so-subtle dig at Karl Rove, a former adviser to President George W. Bush and a co-founder of outside group Crossroads USA.

"The architects can head on back .?.?. to the great Lone Star State, and put their name on some ballot, though, for their sake, I hope they give themselves a discount on their consulting services," she quipped.

But Palin saved her most pointed criticism for the president, likening him to Ponzi-scheme felon Bernie Madoff. Taking a shot at the president's call for universal background checks on gun owners, she said, "Dandy idea, Mr. President — should have started with yours."

Palin drew cheers when she paused in the middle of her remarks to sip soda from a "Big Gulp" — the type of supersized, sugary drink that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to ban. A New York judge this week struck down the Republican-turned-independent mayor's pioneering 16-ounce limit on sodas and other nondiet sweet drinks for sale.

"Oh, Bloomberg's not around," she mocked. "Our Big Gulp is safe. "

(Newser) – A young grizzly bear at Denali National Park will be put down after an attack that sent a hiker to the hospital, the National Park Service says. The bear, estimated to be between 2 and 5 years old, charged a group on the Savage Alpine Trail on Friday, reports CNN; the group played dead, but the bear bit and scratched a 28-year-old woman before the group eventually scared it off. The woman was treated at the park and sent to a hospital; her condition is unknown. It wasn't the "erratic" bear's first interaction with humans: Over the past two weeks it had charged hikers at least twice, and though no one was injured, it did take food. Efforts to scare the bear out of the area using "adverse conditioning," in which rangers shoot bean bags at the animal, failed. The park service has closed the four-mile trail while it searches for the bear.

Teens Busted for Rapping Fast-Food Order
Utah McDonald's doesn't appreciate YouTube-inspired stunt
By Kevin Spak,  Newser Staff
Posted Oct 30, 2009 10:21 AM CDT

(Newser) – Four Utah teens are in trouble with the law for attempting to place their McDonald's order in the form of a rap song. The four teens, rolled into the drive-through this week and, finding themselves the only customers, attempted to re-create a 2006 YouTube video by rapping their order. The worker asked them to repeat themselves, and they performed the song again, more slowly.

The manager then came outside and asked them to speak or leave. They left, but the manager wrote down their license plate number and called the police. All four were cited for disorderly conduct. “We thought they would kind of laugh about it,” said one of the boys. “The first time, we thought they didn’t get it.”

(Newser) – Rescuers have saved 243 people from the Indonesian passenger ferry that sank today in rough waters off Sumatra island, but at least 25 people, including two children, have died, an official said. An unknown number of passengers were still missing, and search operations were called off after nightfall. A second ferry was still stranded in nearby waters after running aground, but all its passengers were said to be safe.

High waves were complicating the rescue operation of the Dumai Express 10, which left on an inter-island voyage this morning and reportedly sank in poor weather 90 minutes into the trip from Batam to Dumai in Riau, a province off Sumatra island in western Indonesia. The ship sank about 30 minutes after huge waves hit its bow and water started seeping in, according to the ship's captain. Indonesian ferry accidents have killed hundreds in recent years. Boats are often overcrowded and safety regulations are poorly enforced.

Penguins Can't Taste Fish, Says New Study

While analyzing the genetic data of five penguins, each of a different species, researchers at the University of Michigan discovered that all the birds were missing three of the five basic taste genes. "Based on genetic data, penguins are believed to have sour and salty tastes, but have lost sweet, umami, and bitter tastes,” researcher Jianzhi Zhang told the BBC, adding that the birds likely lost these taste genes when they evolved millions of years ago.

Zhang said that penguins may be unique in this deficiency. He told the HuffPost that “no other bird is known to have lost three tastes. As far as we know, most birds have both umami and bitter taste receptor genes.” Most, however, cannot taste sweetness.

FDA Warns Some Bantry Bay Mussels Contaminated

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning to consumers against eating certain frozen cooked mussel products made by Bantry Bay Seafoods.Â  The mussels are imported from Ireland and may be contaminated with <"http://www.yourlawyer.com/practice_areas/food_poisoning">azaspiracid toxins (AZAs). The FDA also recommends that retailers and foodservice operators remove these products, and any food in which these products were used as an ingredient, from sale or service.

In July, two people in Washington State became ill after eating Bantry Bayâ€™s “Mussels in a Garlic Butter Sauce.”Â  The FDA tested an unopened product from the same production lot and found that it contained the azaspiracid toxins.Â  Consumers are advised to dispose of the following Bantry Bay Seafood frozen cooked products with “Best before end” dates ranging from January 23, 2009, to November 15, 2009.Â  The “Best before end” dates can be found on the side of the box in the following format: MM:DD:YY. Tainted products are marked with dates 01:23:09 through 11:15:09 and are sold frozen in one-pound cardboard packages in stores throughout the United States:

  • Mussels in a Garlic Butter Sauce
  • Mussels in White Wine Sauce
  • Mussels in Tomato and Garlic Sauce

Azaspiracid is a potent toxic natural product that represents a human health hazard due to its seasonal contamination of mussels cultivated for human consumption. This unique toxin has been responsible for the acute poisoning of several humans.Â  The toxins are a group of naturally occurring marine toxins that can contaminate certain seafoods and are known to cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.Â  When seafood is contaminated with azaspiracid toxins, the food generally looks, smells, and tastes normal.Â  When humans eat such contaminated seafood, disease can result.Â  Of note, many such toxins could potentially become a dangerous tool in hands of terrorists.Â  Azaspiracid is a previously unknownâ€”until 1995â€”and structurally new marine toxin that was responsible for an outbreak of diarrhetic food poisoning associated with consumption of contaminated Irish shellfish in Europe in 1995.Â  At that time, at least eight people in the Netherlands fell ill after consuming mussels (Mytilus edulis) cultivated at Killary Harbour, Ireland.Â  Testing identified azaspiracidâ€”formerly called Killary Toxin-3 or KT3â€”and the new toxic syndrome was called azaspiracid poisoning, or AZP

Not just one compound, azaspiracid is a group of structurally similar polyethers with unprecedented structural features.Â  These poisons accumulate in bivalve mollusksâ€”such as mussels, clams, oysters, and cocklesâ€”that feed on a type of toxic microalgae. In laboratory experiments, azaspiracids can induce widespread organ damage in animals, as well as neurotoxic effects including progressive paralysis.Â  Because of this they are considered to likely be more dangerous than previously known classes of shellfish toxins.Â  Azaspiracid contains unprecedented structural features and differs from any of the formerly known toxins found in shellfish or dinoflagellates and cannot be destroyed or neutralized by freezing or cooking, including boiling.Â  Symptoms typically occur within hours of consumption and persist for two to three days.

The girls from Dartford’s Leigh Academy rugby league team turned in a superb performance to win the Champion Schools Year 10 title in Richmond on Friday.

They added the Year 10 crown to the Year 9 title they picked up 12 months previously with a comprehensive 48-12 victory over a strong Castleford team.
Castleford Academy went into the clash rated the best rugby league playing school in the country, featuring in six of this year’s eight finals.

But the only one of those they lost was against Leigh Academy and so it proved again as the Dartford side became the first school from London and the south east to feature in successive finals.

Winning consecutive titles is another landmark but Leigh didn’t just win, they dominated the Yorkshire outfit from start to finish.
Against a big physical side, Leigh Academy used their pace to great effect but also defended well and rarely made a mistake.

Isio Orogun took the player of the match award with a stunning hat-trick, opening the scoring within the first minute.

Leigh Academy director of sport Matteo Stamato said: “Words cannot describe what an achievement this is for the team, the school and rugby league in the south.

“It was achieved due to the girls’ relentless attitude to achieve perfection and commitment to training which allowed Leigh Academy archive a record breaking score of 48-12 against a formidable Castleford Academy who have a long and successful history in this competition.

“We have dreamt the dream, and now we are living the dream.

“This will forever be the greatest and proudest moment in my teaching career.”

Sylvester Stallone auctions off Rocky memorabilia

The Rocky star auctioned many of the props and costumes in his most famous movies

Sylvester Stallone held an auction on Friday where many of his costumes, props and personal items from his career were up for grabs. The Rocky star said the reason for the auction was so that fans of the movie could enjoy the memorabilia that had been sitting in storage for years.

Stallone said, "The memorabilia I have has been used and has been a part of my life for well over 40 years, it's been in my possession and I have fond memories of just about every object but there comes a point where I have used these objects enough and have created enough memories that I can let them go."

The two most expensive items in the auction were the championship belt used in Rocky II and Rocky II and the gloves used in Rocky II when he beat Apollo Creed.

Both items had a reserve price of $200,000, lowered from $300,000 originally, but none of the bids met that minimum.

Some of the proceeds from the auction will be go to charities for U.S veterans and wounded servicemen.

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) - Here's a job opportunity you won't need to buy a new wardrobe for.

Hoping to take advantage of Rhode Island's floundering economy, owners of the Foxy Lady strip club in Providence plan to hold a job fair on Saturday.

They say they're looking to fill around 30 positions, from strippers and waitresses to disc jockeys and bartenders, at that club and two others in Massachusetts.

"I need more managers, I need more competent staff, and I need more attractive waitresses to go along with the ones I have right now," said co-owner Tom Tsoumas.

The naked truth is that Rhode Island's economy is among the worst in the nation, with an unemployment rate of 10.3 percent in January. The Providence club isn't immune from the recession but is still drawing customers willing to drink and pay for lap dances, said manager
Bob Travisono .

"It's taken a hit," he said. "It's not as bad as restaurants and stuff like that. In times like this, they seem to drink their sorrows away."

Tsoumas said he hopes some who might shun strip clubs when the economy is good might consider shedding their clothes now - or at least working as a floor host or bartender.

Putting Design at the Heart of Business, Government and Society: New Accenture Report Highlights the Rising Role of Design in 2016

From disappearing apps to micromoments, Trends 2016 takes a provocative look at 10 digital developments expected to disrupt organizations in the year ahead, according to Fjord, Design and Innovation from Accenture Interactive

TORONTO, Dec. 14, 2015 /CNW/ - Amidst the rapid pace of innovation and changing consumer expectations, Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has released Fjord Trends 2016, its ninth annual report examining the most significant emergent digital trends expected to transform design, organizations and society in the year ahead.

With more than 750 designers and developers working in 19 studios around the world, including a new studio in Toronto available to service clients across Canada, the base from which Fjord trends are created is now three times as deep as in 2013.

Underpinning these trends is the continued drive toward constantly changing Living Services, dynamically responding to user requirements and context in real time. The report also notes an acceleration of services moving toward faster delivery in smaller chunks of activity and content, enabled by APIs and platforms. And the trends aren't confined to technology alone: there's an urge to design for social change, which is a critical mindset shift that's occurring at many organizations. These meta themes will present an array of design challenges and opportunities that the most successful organizations may adapt to, says the report.

"We're hearing a lot of excited talk in the market about design thinking," said Scott Weisbrod, Toronto's Studio Head and Group Service Design Director, Fjord. "Our clients are trying hard to move on to design doing, and it's a tough hurdle to overcome. Everything is becoming smaller, faster, and flatter, requiring organizations to quickly pivot, to flex their technology and to evolve their approach to design."

Trends 2016 highlights 10 digital trends expected to shape the next generation of experiences:

  1. Watch. It Listens. Today, many of us use devices that encourage us to run farther or eat better. Whether wearables or nearables, the latest crop of devices now listen and respond. Whether it's literally listening to voice commands or to the streams of data we create, they are learning from users and responding in real-time through intent-driven, increasingly effortless, "micromoments."
  2. Service with Manners. With the surge of big data comes extraordinary responsibility. The most successful organizations appreciate that digital trust must be earned. "Privacy by design" is being embraced at companies like Microsoft that are embedding privacy standards into technology and product design from the start.
  3. B2We. Liquid expectations are spilling over into our work lives, as workers expect the same best-in-class consumer experiences to converge with the workplace. A new emphasis on employee experience (EX) design is reimagining workplace processes, structure and culture.
  4. Disappearing apps. The glut of single-use apps in our daily lives will disappear into platforms as they become "atomized," or super distributed, across platforms and third-party services. The next wave may not even require human interaction to activate.
  5. The Flattening of Privilege. Digital experiences have democratized luxury and elevated our standard of living -- bringing luxury services like personal chauffeurs (like Lyft) and virtual assistants (like Facebook M) to the masses.
  6. Approachable Government Design. Governments are rethinking the citizen experience from a one-size-fits-all approach to finely-tuned services tailored to individual needs. Both the U.S. and U.K.'s digital government departments have even published meticulous design style guides.
  7. Healthy is the New Wealthy. Self-monitoring is no longer the domain of a small, tech-savvy customer segment. Newly empowered consumers are embracing health tech to measure their wellness. Even insurers like Kaiser Permanente and Aetna are opening up their platforms to third parties to enable the building of Quantified Self services on top of their data connecting third-party wearables, apps and services.
  8. Virtual Reality's (VR) Dreams Come True. No longer a futuristic fantasy, VR will make its mainstream debut in 2016 with the first consumer versions of Sony, Oculus, and Samsung products expected to hit the market. Expect designers to think beyond gaming and put VR to novel use in everything from scientific studies and virtual tourism, to immersive learning.
  9. Taking Things off the Thinking List. With rapid speed of innovation comes a never-ending cycle of decisions and choices. Services that can anticipate needs by suggesting options or automating low-maintenance decisions, such as Google Now, can be a welcome part of consumers' lives.
  10. Design from Within. Corporations are embracing design thinking to catalyze change for their customers and employees. By taking a human-centered approach, these companies are using design as an agent for problem solving across the entire organization; but it's an emphasis on design doing that will bring the promise to life.

"As the digitization of everything alters what we think of as a service and the physical world becomes more connected, organizations will need to understand these new battlegrounds to adapt and convert change into opportunities," said Brian Whipple, senior managing director, Accenture Interactive. "Our Trends reports aims to provoke, inform and inspire but, above all, to provide actionable insights into designing for the rapidly evolving world of experience."

Trends 2016 draws upon the collective thinking of Fjord's 750+ designers and developers around the world, based on first-hand observations, third-party research and client work. For the full report, visit trends.fjordnet.com or share your comments on Slideshare.

Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Smith has won his 19th term in Congress.

Smith has served in the House since 1981 and is the longest-tenured member of New Jersey's congressional delegation.

Smith defeated Democrat Lorna Phillipson. The Wall Street executive had served as CEO at Stewart Forbes Venture Capital.

The 4th District includes parts of Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties and has more Republicans than Democrats. But like most of the state, it has even more unaffiliated voters.

Smith has been popular in the district, and the contest did not look close. The congressman spent about $360,000 to Phillipson's $191,000 during the campaign.

On an August night in 1981, the German band Kraftwerk played at the Ritz, on East Eleventh Street in Manhattan, in support of its latest album, “Computer World.” The only instruments onstage were actually machines: reel-to-reel tape recorders, synthesizers, keyboards, and a calculator. All four members of the group had short hair and dressed identically, in black button-down shirts, black pants, and shiny shoes, which made them look more like valets than like musicians. That didn’t bother them, as they didn’t like the idea of being a band—or even musicians—and often referred to themselves as “operators.”

For the song “Pocket Calculator,” one member triggered percussion with a drumstick. Another used a Stylophone, a metal keyboard played with a small stylus. Florian Schneider, a founding member, played the calculator, which was wired into the sound system, so that pressing the keys made audible beeps. His partner, Ralf Hütter, who is the only remaining original member of Kraftwerk, sang the lyrics of the song in a monotone—an approach that he calls Sprechgesang, or “spoken singing”—and played a small Mattel keyboard. “By pressing down a special key / it plays a little melody,” he intoned. Schneider responded by playing something sort of like a melody with the calculator. At one point, Hütter bent down and let the audience play the keyboard. Recently, Hütter said, “I wanted to show them that anyone could make electronic music.”

That year, songs from “Computer World” were played on “urban” radio stations in New York, such as Kiss-FM and WBLS. The Bronx d.j. and hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa was in the audience at the Ritz. He had found Kraftwerk’s 1977 album, “Trans-Europe Express,” in a record bin several years earlier. “I was just looking at these guys on the cover and saying, ‘Whoa, whoa, what the hell is this?’ “ he told me. “Wow! Something’s here that’s very funky, and I got to play it for my audience.” He added that Kraftwerk’s battery of gear at the Ritz made it look as if they were playing “washing machines.” (Because of the difficulty of re-creating their recordings with such complicated equipment, the band has visited the U.S. only seven times in its forty-two-year history. Now they use laptops.) The following year, Bambaataa, along with the musician John Robie and the producer Arthur Baker, combined the beat of “Numbers,” from “Computer World,” and the melody of the title track from “Trans-Europe Express” to create “Planet Rock,” an early hip-hop song that spawned a small clutch of genres, including electro, Miami bass, and Brazilian baile funk. “Computer World,” Kraftwerk’s masterpiece, sold less than a million copies, yet its influence has been surprisingly broad—even Coldplay, for its single “Talk,” from 2005, has used a melody from the album.

One song on “Computer World,” called “Home Computer,” has a distinctive, ascending arpeggio that feels a bit like bubbles rising quickly through mercury. That arpeggio shows up in LCD Soundsystem’s single “Disco Infiltrator,” from 2005. It’s also referenced in Missy Elliott’s “Lose Control,” from the same year. A few days ago, I was walking through SoHo and passed the Uniqlo store, with its painfully fluorescent lighting, which illuminates only slightly less fluorescent clothing. Nicki Minaj’s hit “Starships,” a savvy combination of dubstep and traditional house, was bleeding onto the street. When I listened closely, I realized that this version was actually a mashup with one of the many songs that has used “Home Computer” ’s arpeggio. Maybe it was Kraftwerk, or LCD Soundsystem, or Missy, or someone else entirely. It didn’t matter—the sound still signifies newness, joy, and some kind of ascent.

It turned out not only that anyone could make electronic music but that almost everyone wanted to. Kraftwerk is perhaps the only group that played the Ritz in 1981 that sounds entirely current today. Plenty of people saw the machines coming, but nobody else has listened as carefully to them, or documented their strengths as lovingly.

This month, the Museum of Modern Art opened a retrospective of Kraftwerk, its first for a musical act. In the six-story atrium, Kraftwerk played an abbreviated version of its repertoire, in chronological order of its albums, on eight consecutive nights. The shows cherry-picked from each, followed by an hour or so of the group’s best-known songs. “These aren’t concerts,” Klaus Biesenbach, the chief curator at large for the Museum of Modern Art, who organized the exhibit with the curatorial assistant Eliza Ryan, explained. “It’s a retrospective; it’s curated. They aren’t playing everything they ever recorded, any more than we could fill the museum with every photo Cindy Sherman has ever taken.”

Demand for tickets overloaded the Web site of the third-party vender, ShowClix, minutes after they went on sale. Buyers were limited to two tickets each, and ticket holders had to show identification to obtain a wristband required for admission, to prevent scalping. Still, listings on Craigslist showed up immediately, offering entry in exchange for more than two thousand dollars and, in one instance, for an evening with a “hot, swinger couple.” Animatronic robots designed to look like the band members were on display in the lobby, and listening stations loaded with the band’s albums were in place near the atrium. Hütter said that seeing these robots was no better or worse than seeing the band members themselves. “The robots are members of Kraftwerk,” he added.

Four consecutive Sundays have been dedicated to d.j.s playing the music of Kraftwerk over a surround-sound system set up in a geodesic dome in the courtyard of MOMA PS1, in Queens. Bambaataa is scheduled to play the last Sunday, May 13th. The first weekend at PS1, April 14th and April 15th, showed how wide Kraftwerk’s influence has been. That Saturday, Juan Atkins, who is often credited as the first practitioner of Detroit techno, played a set that began with Kraftwerk, then moved into pop songs that reflected the band’s influence, like Yaz’s hit “Don’t Go,” from 1982. The next day, Hütter performed. While the beat from “Numbers” thumped along, and the band’s album covers were projected onto the walls of the dome, Hütter sang into a Korg vocoder, which processes speech and combines it with the notes of the keyboard. “I feel at home in the dome,” he sang.

How did a pop band end up in a museum? Hütter and Schneider began collaborating in the late sixties, in Düsseldorf, and in 1970 opened a studio, a loft that they called Kling Klang, near the railway station. Düsseldorf was a center for avant-garde art; Kling Klang shared a wall with Gerhard Richter’s studio, and, for breaks, they would all play foosball with Joseph Beuys. First calling themselves the Organization, they later chose Kraftwerk (“power station”), because of its implications—“energy,” “art work,” “craft”—and also because of the ubiquity on German highways of signs for power stations.

In addition, the name and its industrial aesthetic seemed like a subtle affront to the earthy English hippies who were popular at the time, bands such as Cream, the Yardbirds, and Led Zeppelin, who performed versions of American blues, complete with long guitar solos. The guitarist Michael Rother, who played in an early version of Kraftwerk and later formed the influential rock band Neu! with the drummer Klaus Dinger, told me that Hütter was the first musician he had met who “had the same feeling about melody and harmony that I’d held inside me that was not based on blues or the structure of American-British pop music.” Living in postwar Germany, and alert to the problems of the immediate past and the proximate present, musicians were trying to establish a German pop language from thin air. Mimicking Anglo-American musical poses was cheesy, but anything that sounded overtly Germanic evoked dangerous historical memories. What the groups of Kraftwerk’s cohort settled on, in common, was reduction and repetition: no guitar solos.

Kraftwerk’s early records were not particularly melodic and only intermittently rhythmic. Pieces were built around keyboard tones, flute, guitar noises, the sound of breathing, and occasional stretches of drumming. “Autobahn,” the band’s fourth album, from 1974, was its first to move decisively toward pop, though not as it was practiced at the time. Bits of flute and guitar remained, but most of the music was generated by drum machines and synthesizers, which Hütter and Schneider had begun to modify themselves. By the time “Radioactivity” was released, in 1975, the guitar and flute were gone, and the machines took over for good. While the chorus of “Autobahn”—“Wir fahr’n fahr’n fahr’n auf der Autobahn”—was a reference to the Beach Boys and their “fun fun fun,” Kraftwerk rarely sang in harmony, and almost every vocal was processed through some kind of machine.

They saw their work as “confronting the mirror of the tape machine” and representing Alltag—everyday life. Their shows, which often took place in art galleries, were rarely traditional. Hütter sometimes rubbed a microphone across his face. “Depending on the length of my beard, it would make stronger sounds,” he said. At one show, their collaborator Emil Schult circled a gallery space on roller skates and beamed wireless signals into the sound system while Hütter and Schneider played keyboards. At another, the band set up a drum machine and weighed down the keys of a synthesizer before leaving the stage. Hütter told the Rolling Stone reporter Mike Rubin that “the audience at the party was so wild they kept dancing to the machine.”

But the band’s passion was for recording, and it did so obsessively, with the gifted engineer Conny Plank. In Dave Tompkins’s “How to Wreck a Nice Beach,” a history of synthetic voice processing, Schneider says, “The mysterious thing about these machines, sometimes when you use them, you feel like a secret agent of sounds. We closed our studio—nobody could go inside. We were very paranoid.” The work paid off. As democratic and empowering as drum machines may be, there are very few pop records that sound as exquisitely balanced as Kraftwerk’s.

At the time, electronic music was a curiosity in pop. In 1968, the composer Wendy Carlos released an interpretation of Bach, played on a Moog synthesizer, that won three Grammys. Compilations keyed to the novelty of the Moog appeared in the early seventies, featuring chirpy versions of songs such as “Yummy Yummy Yummy” and “Popcorn.” There was already substantial academic and commercial work being done on synthesizers in places like Stanford University’s computer department, the BBC Radiophonics Workshop, and the West German Broadcasting studio, in Cologne. Tangerine Dream, from Berlin, Kraftwerk’s contemporary, was making entire albums using synthesizers, though it fit more comfortably into what would one day be called “ambient music,” rather than pop.

Early reactions to Kraftwerk were often hostile, and sometimes verged on xenophobic. In an interview published in Creem, in 1975, the critic Lester Bangs asked the members of Kraftwerk if their machines were “the final solution” for pop music. “No, not the solution. The next step,” Hütter responded, and he was right. Pop’s non-narrative phrases, glittering, brief melodies, and reliance on technology can be traced directly to Kraftwerk’s concept of Mensch-Maschine, or “man-machine,” which was not just the name of the band’s seventh album but also a guiding principle. The sound is rooted in the interaction between computers and people—which, for many of us, is what now fills our waking hours. Kraftwerk’s melding of machines and everyday life is far from eugenic, though; it’s remarkably gentle, even a bit melancholy. The bicycles and cars and computers and radios and calculators that inhabit their albums are a friendly lot. When Bangs tried to provoke the band by citing William Burroughs’s assertion that one could start a riot with two tape recorders, Schneider responded, “A person doing experimental music must be responsible for the results of the experiments. They could be very dangerous emotionally.”

After “Autobahn,” Kraftwerk’s music became increasingly syncopated and propulsive, and, without intending to, the band began laying the foundation for electronic dance music. Hütter’s explanation is simple: “Machines are very funky.” With remarkable consistency, each album referred to a mechanical process that the music mimicked, a simple concept that reflected a culture increasingly defined by the machines around it. “Radioactivity” echoed Geiger counters; “Trans-Europe Express” imitated the rhythm of wheels on train tracks and the descending tone of the Doppler effect; and “Computer World” was made by computers and about computers. The albums embodied both the simplicity and the richness of electronic signals.

Last year, MOMA presented an Andy Warhol exhibition, which felt like a natural precursor to the Kraftwerk shows. The band is the Warhol of pop—apolitical, fond of mechanical reproduction, and almost creepily prescient. While Warhol, with his silk screens and lithographs, was criticized for ignoring the idea that an art work is a unique object, traditionalists decried the anonymity of Kraftwerk’s machines, and implied that using synthesizers was somehow cheating. But, for both artists, it was not limiting that anybody could paint a soup can that someone else had designed, or that anybody could push a button on a keyboard that someone else had made. One could modify the image of mass-produced objects as needed, and both Warhol and Kraftwerk did, repeatedly. Making copies of things made them democratically available but didn’t preclude the individuality of the modifiers.

The exhibition at MOMA was Kraftwerk’s first appearance in New York since 2005, when the group played a volcanic show at the Hammerstein Ballroom. (Schneider was still with the group; he left the band in 2006. Hütter says that Schneider was tired of touring.) Whereas the Hammerstein show was ecstatic, a loud moment of catharsis for the dance audience that remains the band’s core demographic, the MOMA shows were controlled presentations for a diverse crowd that seemed only to want to lay eyes on these legends. As Kraftwerk, in various forms, has done for decades, four band members stood in a line behind podiums that neatly hid what they were manipulating. Hütter stood stage right and worked with a keyboard, playing most of the lead melodies live. At other times, he said, “I read e-mails. I have an iPad. I have a text prompter for the lyrics.”

Henning Schmitz and Fritz Hilpert, later additions to the band, stood between Stefan Pfaffe and Hütter, working on synchronized laptops, while also triggering rhythmic elements. Pfaffe controlled the visuals. Since it was a retrospective, the shows were not allowed to vary substantially—“you can’t change a painting for a retrospective,” Biesenbach said—so each one began with a deep vocoder voice speaking in German and English, introducing the “ladies and gentlemen” to the Mensch-Maschine. After a brief spray of notes, a white scrim fell, revealing the band members, each wearing a skintight bicycling outfit covered with luminescent white lines in a grid formation, as if they were being tracked on a green screen for later animation. Hütter is fit—he takes bicycling trips through Europe—but he has a small paunch, which slightly deformed the grid.

For several nights, the band opened with a song called “The Robots.” Hütter recited in Sprechgesang, “We’re charging our own battery, and now we’re full of energy.” Behind the musicians, on a screen, robots sported red shirts and black ties, as they had on the cover of “The Man-Machine.” The crowd, which included musical adventurers such as Yoko Ono and Michael Stipe, had been given 3-D glasses. In 3-D, the robots turned and dipped their heads, and their enormous arms seemed to float over the band members. The visuals for many songs were simply the lyrics rendered in a kind of ticker-tape typeface, crawling across the screen as lines undulated in the virtual background. “Autobahn” opened with the sound of an engine turning over and introduced a visual rendering of the Autobahn running through the Rhineland. (The band’s appearance at MOMA was sponsored by Volkswagen.)

This kind of frozen kitsch ran through the shows. As crisp as the music sounded, the visuals occasionally felt like visions of the future from the late seventies, or early digital art you might find in an e-card from your mom. There were moments of 3-D treble clefs zooming toward the audience, as if Kraftwerk were paying tribute both to clip art and to themselves. The band members jiggled their legs but were otherwise immobile, and perhaps three smiles broke out onstage in the course of the week. The audience mirrored the band’s reserve; even during the most propulsive numbers, people seemed to remember that they were in a museum.

What carried the retrospective, and kept it from being a period piece, was the sound. It was relatively quiet, as pop-music performance goes, and Hütter explained that it was like classical music for him; hearing detail was important, and there needed to be room for dynamic surges and drops. Hearing the rippling, atonal arpeggios of “Numbers” or the almost demure tootling of “Neon Lights” made it seem as if Kraftwerk’s influence on contemporary music might never end. Every fragment of language—“It’s in the air for you and me,” for instance—and every lullaby melody could be dropped, without change, into any modern pop song and sound appropriate to even the savviest listener. Hütter says that the band is working on a new album, though that seems entirely unnecessary at this point. Their old is still our new.

CS Tag & Track NPC

This will allow the player to tag up to 80 NPC's, including animals, that can be tracked with objective markers. I think of this as more of a utility feature. There were so many moments when my followers would vanish or not be where they were supposed to be. Trekking in the woods, you see a traveling merchant only to want to find them again later but can't. Maybe that horse of yours took off during the fight and is nowhere to be found. That's why I made this mod.

Featured in:
*Note* These are old versions being showcased in the videos, but the concept is the same.

Skyrim Mod Spotlight by Brodual

Skyrim Mod of the Day by LiveStyleGaming

1.) Skyrim version 1.9 or later
3.) SkyUI 4.1

Updating to 2.3

You must start a new game or at your own risk, make as 'clean' a save as possible.

My recommendation is to do the following:
As with any Skyrim scripted mod, it's best to start a new game.  If you don't want to do that, then I take no blame
if the mod doesn't work as it should.

If you choose to continue, here are the steps needed to update in mid-playthrough.

Steps for an almost clean save. (This goes for any scripted mod)
a.) save the game, then quit to desktop
b.) uninstall old mod completely
c.) reload the last saved game, then save again, quit back to desktop
d.) use PDTWrapper/Script Scalpel or script utility of your choice to remove any orphaned scripts still baked in the save file from the mod. save it.
e.) re-load the game and the hopefully cleaned save and re-save again, quit to desktop.
f.) install the new mod and run the game, load up the latest save and play.

Version 2.0 and above isn't compatible with previous versions. New esp + bsa name. All new scripts.

If not updating, just install and play in an existing game.
- Use Whichever Mod manager of your choice - install.
  copy CS_TagNTrack.esp, CS_TagNTrack.bsa into your data folder.  Don't forget to tick it on in the launcher.
- Play the game

*Note* The readme file for this mod is located under your 'Data/readmes/' subfolder and is identical to this description page.

- Mod manager of your choice: Uninstall
  Manually remove CS_TagNTrack.esp, CS_TagNTrack.bsa from your data folder.

Starting The Quest
Use the "CS Tag & Track NPC's" Lesser Power or the Hotkey on any npc within crosshair range. Use it again on that same NPC and they will be immediately removed.  Your objectives will display the NPC's being tracked.

There's a maximum of 80 tracking slots.

Use the MCM menu to check status, summon, teleport to, track a single npc, and remove.

Compatibility & Issues
-Your horse will appear as "Horse" in the objective journal but will show its name correctly in the MCM menu.

-When tagging more than 16 npc's, only the first 16 will have quest markers Above their heads (While in game 3D viewing). This is a Skyrim limitation and not this mod. When searching npc's on the map though, all 80 will show to have quest markers.

**WARNING** SUMMON NPC's AT YOUR OWN RISK! - Although you are able to pick which NPCs get teleported, the summoned npc's could potentially break the game as any npc that's tagged could be transported to the player; This includes npc's that should be in a specific spot in the game. If an NPC isn't flagged as being essential they could end up getting killed in the wilderness when they walk back to where they are supposed to be. I use it for followers who get stuck or aren't where they are supposed to be.
