Art Galore: Munch, Bonnard and Koudelka

By | 28 October, 2015 | 0 comments

thyssen munchIt is one of the season’s most popular exhibitions and it can be seen at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum until January 17th 2016. We are talking about Edvard Munch. Archetypes, about the figure of the author of one of the most famous paintings in the history of art, The Scream. However, those in search for this specific work of art will leave disappointed since it is not there, unlike those who are looking to discover other stages of this artist who was a contemporary of Cézanne or Van Gogh.

The exhibition allows visitors to see the rich universe of the artist and admire paintings that were leading to that masterpiece, paintings such as The Storm, where we see a series of women putting their hands on their face, in the same way that the distressed character in The Scream does. Another painting is Women on the bridge, which may reminisce of the structure of the aforementioned painting although in a more colourful, lively and bright way, which makes it hard to believe that Munch was in fact its author. Naked portraits, landscapes and sketches complete this interesting immersion into the world of this Nordic artist. Tickets are 11 euros for adults and 7 euros for concessions.

Less than 5 minutes away by foot are the two headquarters of the Mapfre Foundation, both of which with their own exhibitions. In the exhibition room of Paseo de Recoletos, 23 -20 minutes away on foot from our hotel in the center of Madrid– you can enjoy a retrospective dedicated to the artist Pierre Bonnard, one of the lesser known artists of that time frame between the 19th and 20th centuries; known as le nabi très japoniste, in 1888 he founded this movement, the Nabi Group, which means ‘prophets’ in Hebrew. There are paintings of great Japanese inspiration and also paintings of a large scale like those of the series Et in arcadia ego, which reflect the embryo of the welfare society that was being created in France back in the early 1900s. It is the nude portraits that are of special interest, especially that “game” between the artist and the model, which he carried out with his wife Martha, who he portrayed in very sensual poses to say the very least. It is also interesting to see the miniature photographs that he took before painting her. Enjoy this exhibition until January 16th 2016. Entry is free.

And we finish this art treble with another exhibition of the Mapfre Foundation, at Calle Bárbara de Braganza, 13. This exhibition is dedicated to a live artist, Josef Koudelka (b. 1938, Moravia, Czechoslovakia). Considered a nomad by himself, as he was never comfortable under the stiff rules of communism, his eye learned how to capture the people’s personalities, not just from the gypsy communities (which were his favourite) but also in his series in different countries (Spain, France, Ireland, Germany), showing his skills to capture the essence of these countries. Koudelka also captured the Soviet invasion of Prague in 1968, an example of photojournalism with historical vocation. Entry is free until November 29th.

Crazy Places Where to End a Night Out

By | 15 December, 2015 | 0 comments

Everyone knows when the night starts but never when or where it ends. Here are a few places that are excellent to finish off a night of partying in the Spanish capital. We start at Toni2, a meeting points of many different characters of Madrid’s nightlife, from failed pianists to Joaquín Sabina tributes, posh crowds from the Salamanca district, uninhibited hipsters and “normal” people who just want to spend a good time in one of the few piano bars that are left in the city.

And from one bar to its sister bar, at Calle Almirante, 2. It’s best to visit it in person rather than to explain it on here, because as their owners say, its atmosphere is “indescribable”. However, they try to explain it with one word: participation. Those who don’t fancy socialising much should stay away.

Another of Madrid’s nightlife classics with a happy ending, so to speak, is the karaoke bar Master Plató, better known as the “karaoke de los Mostenses” due to its location. You get into it through an underground car park very close to Plaza de España and if you get there after 3am you might have trouble getting hold of a microphone and show your singing skills, such is the amount of people there. However, the cheesy and geeky atmosphere there definitely makes up for it.

Beguin The Beguin is almost like being in a sequel of the film Amélie, albeit slightly dustier. To get in after 2am, you must knock on the door in a clandestine sort of way. It is located on Calle Moratín, 27, and we cannot guarantee that it will be open when you go because it depends entirely on the owner and how he is feeling that day. Try it because its multicoloured and chaotic atmosphere is priceless and unparalleled in Madrid.

If you fancy a dance in one of the city’s historical venues, try Sala El Sol, on Calle Jardines, 3. Its ethnic and funky rhythms will sweep you off your feet in its modern atmosphere, and it’s also an easy place to make some new friends.

How to increase minority homeownership?

Today’s HousingWire Daily features a roundtable discussion from HousingWire’s Lunch & Learn series that looks at “Unpacking the lender’s vital role in increasing minority homeownership.”

New American Funding expands into non-QM lending

Will use "alternate methods of income verification"

One of the top lenders in the country is now offering mortgages to borrowers who do not fit into the Qualified Mortgage box.

New American Funding announced Tuesday that it is expanding into non-QM lending, joining a growing group of lenders that are offering mortgages to “non-traditional” borrowers.

According to New American Funding, the program will target “credit worthy” borrowers who are “self-employed, have non-traditional incomes, have assets and no income, or have had difficulty qualifying for a traditional mortgage.”

The company said its non-QM loan can be “customized and use alternate methods of income verification” to allow certain borrowers to qualify for a mortgage when they otherwise would not have been able to qualify.

According to New American Funding, the “alternate” income sources include:

  • Self-employed
  • Fluctuating and non-traditional incomes
  • Workers with fluctuating income
  • Qualifying assets, but no income
  • Alternative income verification methods accepted
  • Second homes and investment properties may be eligible

The lender said that borrower may prove their income or assets in several ways, including:

  • Full Documentation
  • One-Year Tax Return Program
  • Bank Statement Program (6 or 12 months)
  • Asset Depletion/Asset Qualification

The company said that its non-QM loan may be used for rate-and-term refinances, cash-out refinances, or a new home purchase for owner-occupied, second homes or investment homes.

“We’re dedicated to making sure everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve the American dream,” New American Funding CEO Rick Arvielo said. “At New American Funding, we’re excited to offer more options to a more diverse set of consumers and help them through the homeownership process.”

How to increase minority homeownership?

Average 30-year mortgage rate for purchase loans falls to another all-time low

30-year fixed loan now 5 basis points below the original record set in September

The average U.S. mortgage rate for a 30-year fixed loan fell to 2.81% this week, the lowest in Freddie Mac’s survey history, the mortgage giant said in a report on Thursday. The rate fell six basis points from the week prior and is now five basis points lower than the original all-time low set in mid-September.

The average fixed rate for a 15-year mortgage was 2.35%, falling from last week’s 2.37% — matching the record set three weeks ago.

There have now been 12 consecutive weeks when average mortgage rates have been below 3% and this is the tenth record broken this year, said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist.

“Low mortgage rates have become a regular occurrence in the current environment,” Khater said. “Many people are benefitting as refinance activity remains strong. However, it’s important to remember that not all people are able to take advantage of low rates given the effects of the pandemic.”

When Houstonians go to the beach, they usually head for Galveston. But some road-less-traveled types opt instead for the eccentric appeal of the Bolivar Peninsula, a short ferry ride from East Beach. Bolivar’s draws include good beach-combing on desolate stretches of sand, barbecued crabs, and rare birds, but it shocks many first-time visitors with its bizarre combination of rural and industrial—think roseate spoonbills perched on pumpjacks.

Galveston has a history of civilized refinement, but Bolivar’s fascinating past is primarily that of pirates. The 27-mile sand spit is named after the Latin American rebel leader Simón Bolívar, who gave French pirate Jean Lafitte a “letter of marque” commissioning him as an official privateer with permission to attack Spanish ships.

In fact, legend has it that Lafitte’s entire pirate crew held parties on Bolivar’s beaches—and with our tips below, you can too.

Car Cruising: A How-to Guide

Bolivar beach-lovers have their own style. Everyone drives on the beach—even environmentalists on their way to the shorebird sanctuary. (There’s no other way to get there.) Buy an annual beach parking pass ($10 at just about any retail establishment), and look for one of the access points along Highway 87.

You can bring your own volleyball nets, umbrellas, anything. In fact, we ourselves witnessed one couple arrive in their pick-up carrying an upholstered loveseat, surf-casting rods, and a cooler full of beer. They parked on the beach, unloaded the couch, and fished in comfort.

Where to Stay

There are few hotels to speak of on Bolivar Peninsula. The best accommodations are beach houses. A three-bedroom will accommodate six people and run you around $300 a night with a two-night minimum. There’s also generally a cleaning deposit.

Most of the beach houses on Bolivar are relatively new. That’s because Hurricane Ike’s more than 20-foot storm surge washed away almost every building on the peninsula in 2008. The best rents are on or very near the beach and come with well-equipped kitchens, new appliances, wi-fi, and cable television. Two real estate companies handle the vast majority of rentals: RE/MAX On The Water (409-684-3377, remaxonthewater.com) and Swede’s Real Estate (409-684-3345, swedesrealestate.com).

Where the Locals Go: Tiki Beach Bar and Grill

Home to the largest bandstand on the Peninsula, Tiki Beach Bar features live music on Saturday and Sunday nights. The bar also has its own volleyball court, horseshoe pit, and pool table. The shrimp po’boy here is terrific, as is the burger and the “crimp burger,” a sandwich made with a ground crab and shrimp patty. Be advised that smoking is permitted in both the indoor and outdoor dining rooms. 1369 Hwy. 87, Crystal Beach, 409-684-9594.

Fun for Families

Bolivar is among the nation’s foremost destinations for bird-watchers. High Island’s Smith Oaks Sanctuary is the most famous of the bird-watching areas maintained by the Houston Audubon Society around Bolivar Peninsula. Kids love “The Rookery,” an artificial island in the Smith Oaks Sanctuary that provides a predator-free nesting place for thousands of great herons, roseate spoonbills, egrets, and cormorants. Another great spot is Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary. Visit during high tide when the Western sandpipers, short-billed dowitchers, and American avocets are concentrated along the water’s edge. houstonaudubon.org.

Bolivar Ferry

Kids will like the Bolivar Ferry more than most any DisneyWorld ride—and unlike DisneyWorld, the ferry is free. The three-mile excursion takes about 15 minutes, just long enough to climb the stairs to the upper deck and get a look at the massive oil tankers, the acrobatic dolphins, and the amazing spectacle of the Houston Ship Channel. The ferry operates 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. 409-795-2230, crystalbeach.com/greer.htm.

Where to Dine Out: Stingaree Restaurant and Marina, Crystal Beach

Opened in 1986, Stingaree is the center of everything in Bolivar. It’s the best restaurant on the peninsula, as well as a marina, bait shop, bar, and live music venue. You can get your crabs boiled, fried, or barbecued, and there are five varieties of cooked oysters; they won’t sell raw oysters out of season. The grilled yellow fin tuna steak is outstanding, and Gulf red snapper comes broiled, fried, or pecan-crusted. Fishermen can take advantage of the “you hook ’em, we cook ’em” policy—bring your fish to the restaurant, and the kitchen will prepare it for you. A cocktail in the second-floor dining room as the sun sets makes for the perfect date night. 1295 N. Stingaree Rd., Crystal Beach, 409-684-2731, stingaree.com.

Why to Eat In: Fresh Shrimp

There is a large sign on Highway 87, across from the side street named Canal W, that reads “Fresh Seafood.” If you drive down to the end of the street, you’ll find shrimp and oyster boats tied up to private docks with tiny seafood stands beside them. One sports a sign that reads: “Buy Shrimp Here! I Need Money.” Fresh shrimp right off the boat sells for around $7.50 a pound.

As a groomer, what types of products do you use for bathing the dogs and cats?

As a mobile pet groomer, we are required to use products that are biodegradable since we have to drain the waste tanks every day. We prefer natural and organic products as well for the safety of the pets. Different groomers prefer different shampoos, but Kelco shampoos and conditioners are some of the best on the market today. Their products are all natural and organic as well as pesticide-free…even the flea and tick shampoos. “Wild Thang” is a really good basic shampoo that cleans, brightens the coat, and kills fleas. Their shampoos have a dilution ratio of 50-1, which can be adjusted as needed, which, at around $30/gallon, makes it an economical choice for both groomers and the layman alike. For pet owners who truly want to pamper their pets, the Plum White shampoo and conditioner is a wonderful treat for both the owner and the pet. When used in conjunction, the skin and coat are soft, conditioned, and your pet’s hair is static-free. The scent is indescribably good, and after using both products, your hands are even soft.

My dog’s skin is very itchy and he has dandruff. What product would you use or recommend to treat his skin?

A great prescription alternative for dogs with itchy skin or dandruff is “Dr. MD.”  It has a dilution strength of 50-1, but can be applied full strength to problem areas for 3-5 minutes for maximum benefits. It includes vitamins A, E, and D, as well as tea tree oil. We also use a gentle oatmeal shampoo for dogs with skin problems. It’s very soothing to their skin.

Is there something I can put on my pet in between grooming appointments to keep the odor away?

Actually, there is a great product called “One Shot Waterless Shampoo” by Best Shot. It comes ready to use and is perfect for groomers and pet owners alike. It is safe for dogs and cats which makes it a winning product. The main ingredient that makes it so wonderful is peppermint oil. If there is anything I would recommend to a pet owner who has odor problems between grooms, it is this. As an experienced groomer of 13 years, I can tell you that this will get rid of even the strongest odors! All you have to do is spray it on your pet’s skin, rub it in, and then dry your pet’s hair with a hair dryer. You don’t even have to dry their hair, but sometimes if the odor is particularly strong, you may need two applications, and the only way to tell is if your pet’s hair is dry. For the cat lover, it is better to spray some in your hands first, and then rub it into your kitty’s coat as they don’t like to be sprayed with anything that might resemble water! Just remember to be careful not to get this product in your pet’s eyes.

If I run out of pet shampoo at home, is there another home product that I can use on my pet in a pinch?

Yes, if you still have a little pet shampoo left, add a little Dawn Dishwashing Liquid to it to make it last longer.  It is safe for both dogs and cats and is biodegradable so it’s safe for the environment. You can also add a little Dawn by itself to a tub of water to wash your pets safely. After all, that is what the marine biologists use to clean the birds that are affected by oil spills. As with all pet products, there is no way to determine if your particular pet might be allergic to a product, so always be mindful of any itchiness, redness, or swelling after using any products, and see your veterinarian right away.

How Much Do Facial Fillers Cost?

Written by:  Howmuchisit.org Staff
Last Updated:  August 8, 2018

Facial fillers are products, such as collagen, that are designed to rejuvenate the skin by reducing wrinkles, erasing scars or enhancing the lips.  As the skin becomes more susceptible to wrinkles as you age, this long-lasting solution, which uses tiny facial injections, will make your face look young again.

IMG_1620” (CC BY 2.0) by NathanF

How much does it cost?

The cost of a facial filler will depend on the qualifications/expertise of the professional injecting the filler, the type of injection used, the time the treatment requires and where you live.  Looking at our table below, you will see that the cost per syringe can cost anywhere from as little as $500 to more than $2,000 per syringe.

Village Pointe Aesthetic Surgery, for example, listed its prices on its official website, with prices, depending on the type of injection, ranging from $400 to $800 per syringe.

Type of FillerDescriptionPrice Average (per syringe)
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (Radiesse)Considered to be a biosynthetically produce product, meaning no animal products were used. Side effects can be rare and is known to produce a very natural result. It can last up to 18 months.$500 to $780
CollagenAlso human based and can treat minor imperfections on the skin. It can last three to four months.$400 to $600
FatThese injections will be harvested from the patient's body, such as the abdomen or buttocks, and can be re-injected.$1,500 to $2,000
Hyaluronic Acid (Captique, Esthélis, Elevess, Hylaform, Juvéderm, Perlane, Prevelle, Puragen, Restylane)Used to improve the skin's contour and is ideal for acne scars, cheek depressions, crow's feet, frown lines, scars, smoker lines and facial scars. This effect can last up to two years.$400 to $650
Polylactic Acid (Sculptra)A syntehtic dermal filler, which can cause your own production of collagen. Known as a stimulator, this filler is non-toxic, biodegradable and is used to fill lines, plump lips and treat nasolabial folds. It may las up to two years.$800 to $1,200
Polymethyl-Methacrylate (Bellafill)Often used to treat deep wrinkles and folds, PMMA is a permanent solution often used instead of collagen. Unlike some fillers, however, more injections may be required.$800 to $1,200
Polyalkylimide (Aquamid)A semi-permanent filler and is used to plump lips, treat deep wrinkles and treat facial wasting.$550 to $800

Facial fillers overview

The dermal fillers, as seen in the table above, will differ in chemical makeup, longevity and will have a varying degree of softness.  A softer filler may be used on the lips, for example, while a stronger filler will be used for the cheekbones.

During the procedure, the plastic surgeon or the specially-trained nurse, will first evaluate your facial appearance, skin tone and examine the areas that need to be augmented.  During this time, your surgeon will discuss your options, examine your face, take photographs and recommend their opinion. Strategic points, from there, will be marked, and upon your consent, the procedure will start.  Before the injection, the targeted areas will first be cleaned with an antibacterial agent, and depending on the injection site, a local anesthesia may be applied to numb the area.  When the site is prepared, the injection, which takes only a few seconds, will be injected until enough filler is needed.  The whole process, depending on the complexity of the case, can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.  This will always be an outpatient procedure.

The results, once the injections are done, should be noticed almost immediately.  Depending on the injection, it can last anywhere from several months to several years.  Maintaining your health and skin can improve the results over time.

The recovery time will depend upon the injection you receive, but in general, you can expect to resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours as long as the swelling and bruising is minimized.

What are the extra costs?

The prices, noted above, will be for each syringe, and in some cases, the surgeon may require two to three syringes, increasing your costs by more than two to three times the amount.

As noted, most facial fillers won’t be permanent, and if you want to keep the same look, then plan on future sessions.  In general, the methods mentioned above will often require a session every four to six months.

An allergy test may be required before the injection to ensure your body will react accordingly to the treatment.

Tips to know:

A good candidate for facial fillers, according to PlasticSurgery.org, will be physically healthy, a non-smoker and will be committed to maintaining good skin health in the future.

Risks, as with any cosmetic procedure, should be known about.  This may include acne-like eruptions, bruising, bleeding, infection, lumps, rashes, and redness.

How can I save money?

Many surgeons do offer financing plans since most health insurance policies won’t cover this type of procedure as it’s often deemed cosmetic.

Most surgeons will be able to offer you a free consultation before you commit.  Be sure to talk with two to three surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.

Blue Screen DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS is an annoying error for Windows 10 users. This BSOD problem is always accompanied by a stop code 0x000000CB. The bug check value and the error state that the driver or I/O manager failed to roll out locked pages after an I/O operation. However the issue occurs because of obsolete drivers, there are other factors as well that are equally responsible for the error.

The above-mentioned blue screen of death often occurs immediately or a few minutes after Windows starts. But what annoys most is that the computer reboots automatically once the device is affected by the error. In addition to the drivers, reasons like low disk space, corrupted Windows image files, faulty system files, presence of malware, bad areas in the hard disk, etc. can also lead to the DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS. So, below is the list of all the productive solutions that can help you to get rid of the BSOD –

Methods list

1] Perform Windows Update
2] Update Device Drivers
3] Run System File Checker
4] Remove Recently Installed Programs
5] Use Windows Security to Scan the Entire PC
6] Run BSOD Troubleshooter
7] Perform Memory Scan
8] Use Disk Cleanup
9] Remove the Corrupted Update Files
10] Repair Hard Disk
11] Uninstall Apps with Same Functionalities
12] Repair Windows Image Files
13] Temporary Removal of External Accessories
14] Restore Previously Created Restore Points
15] Reset Windows 10
16] Disable Auto Restart
17] Uninstall 3rd Party Antivirus Tools

1] Perform Windows Update

The outdated operating system is a doorway to various bugs and problems. Microsoft often releases security or cumulative updates, preview builds with new features, etc to provide stability to the PCs running Windows. If you don’t install them on a regular basis, your device will be prone to issues like DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS. So, the best possible way to address this notorious problem is to perform a Windows update. Once you see install all the latest patches, your PC will start functioning smoothly. Let us go through the steps and see how to execute this task –

Step-1: Get access to the built-in Settings program using any suitable methods. However, the quickest one is to use the Win logo + I key combinations.

Step-2: On the interface of the app, select the Update & security tab.

Step-3: Windows Update settings page will show up by default. Shift to the right pane, click Check for updates button.

Step-4: Wait for the system to list down all the available packages, builds, driver updates, etc. Click the Download button at the bottom of the list to initiate the process.

Step-5: If any of the updates ask for a reboot, carry it out and complete the installation procedure.

Once your device is fully updated with the latest features and drivers, you will not come across any BSOD errors as such.

Another possible cause for the continuous occurrence of DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS BSOD can be the drivers that are not compatible with the system. This happens when you don’t install the latest version of any driver. Generally, when you access the Device Manager, you can easily find out the problematic ones. This is simply because the console displays a yellow exclamation sign next to those drivers. So, the solution is pretty clear, just locate those drivers and update them one after the other.

  • Open Run dialog box by simultaneously hitting the “Win +R” shortcut keys. Input the command devmgmt.msc in the text field and click OK.
  • When the console shows up, locate and right-click the drivers that are constituting trouble.
  • From the menu that shows up click the option namely Update driver (see snapshot).
  • This will display an update wizard with two options, choose Search automatically for drivers.
  • Once the update gets over, the wizard will inform you. Do this for every such problematic device drivers and complete the procedure by following the instructions on the screen.

3] Run System File Checker

Faulty, missing, defective, or corrupted system files frequently creates several complications in the system. If at any point you have modified registry, customized Windows, or replaced certain system files, then there are high chances for the device to encounter  DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS error. So, if you are into a similar situation, instead of directly opting for System Restore, you can perform this scan. This built-in utility will thus restore the modified file from the cached copy in Windows folder and set things back to normal operation. To do so,

  • Write cmd in the taskbar search and execute a right-click on the Command Prompt result. Go ahead with Run as administrator option.
  • Click Yes button and give consent to the UAC prompt.
  • Now, type in or copy/paste the below-given command line and hit Enter to execute its task right away.

sfc /scannow

  • At the end of the scan, the tool will inform you about the missing elements. For better results, you can reboot the device and see things getting fixed.

4] Remove Recently Installed Programs

Installation of any software is always sensitive as the functionality of those apps may damage the integrity of the OS. When such a situation happens, Windows always throws several BSODs and DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS is one of them. So, if you are confronting this problem after installing any application, then uninstall it immediately. There are a couple of ways to execute it, let us see one here –

  • Do a right-click on the Start icon, locate and click Apps and features option from the Win+X menu.
  • This will launch the Apps Settings page.
  • On the right pane, scroll down and find out the latest installed program. After you see it, select and click the Uninstall button.
  • Now, to complete the deletion process, follow the guidelines of the app carefully.

5] Use Windows Security to Scan the Entire PC

Malware or virus attacks always end up in damaging the essential components of the computer. There are various means through which the PC becomes prey to malicious activities. Once adversely affected, you need to carry out necessary actions to protect the device from further damage. A general scan for viruses might not be able to restore the health of the computer. Hence, you need to perform a full scan which will inspect every item of the system thoroughly.

  • As this is a full PC scan, so it will consume a good amount of time. Therefore, you should have enough patience until it completes successfully.
  • Once the computer gets back to operation, you will not face DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS anymore.

To deal with the BSOD errors and stop codes, Windows provides you a built-in tool that will detect and fix the problematic areas. Blue screen troubleshooter is considered one of the best utilities that Microsoft provides for its users. Simply run it and get rid of DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS error.

  • Open Start menu and click the gear icon in order to open the Windows Settings application.
  • Navigate to Update & security tab on the main interface.
  • Select Troubleshoot subsection on the left sidebar of the next page. Switch to the right pane, locate and select Blue screen option.
  • Once you expand it, hit Run the troubleshooter button to begin the scan. The tool will start inspecting the system components and at the end will make an attempt to fix it as well.

7] Perform Memory Scan

Defective or obsolete RAM is always known for creating various troubles in the operating system including error DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS. If that is the case with you also, then you need to take immediate action to get rid of it. The most common symptom of a bad memory is when Windows fails to load or when the device makes unstoppable beeps upon startup. So, to check RAM, you can use Windows own tool by following these steps –

  • Hit Win + Q hotkeys and type memory on the taskbar search box. Select Windows Memory Diagnostic from the results.
  • The wizard will show up displaying two options – click Restart now check for problems (recommended) as shown in the below picture.
  • The PC screen will turn into blue and the utility will start diagnosing RAM issues.
  • After it gets over, the device will perform an auto reboot and upon startup, the system tray will provide the result.

Note – Do not forget to close all the running programs and save your work otherwise, the auto-restart will lose all the unsaved data.

8] Use Disk Cleanup

Continuous accumulation of temporary files, unwanted junk, browser cache, items in Recycle Bin, etc. occupies a huge amount of disk space. Lack of space in the system drive often open doors for BSODs problem and DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS is one of them. Hence, the best possible solution to tackle such a situation is to delete all the unnecessary items from the PC. In this regard, you can use the Disk Cleanup tool –

  • Perform a right-click on Start and choose Run option.
  • Insert the command cleanmgr, click OK and choose the drive letter that contains system files.
  • From the wizard, select all the checkboxes and do a hit on Clean up system files.
  • Again, select the same drive and allow the tool to calculate the amount of space it can retrieve. It will display you the size in GB that the utility can free up from the hard drive.
  • Click OK to initiate the procedure.

9] Remove the Corrupted Update Files

The successful installation of updates is very important for the OS to run smoothly. Reasons like poor internet connection, lack of disk space, etc., can cause hindrance in the installation of updates. Now, this condition adversely affects the functioning of the system and throws BSOD errors. Therefore, to deal with such a situation, simply uninstall the faulty update files that you have installed currently.

  • Make a combined hit of Win + S hotkeys and type appwiz.cpl and hit Enter.
  • Programs and Features” window will open up displaying you the list of installed updates. Locate the one that you have installed recently and do a right-click on it.
  • Click Uninstall.
  • Go through the guidelines and finish the removal of that faulty update file.

Experts are with the view that continuous usage of hard disk often creates bad areas in it. The poor condition in it is not good for PCs health. Nevertheless, the good thing is you can repair these segments using a command tool.

  • Press Ctrl + ALT + Del keys in one go to and select Task Manager from the following blue screen.
  • Click File from the toolbar and select “Run a new task“. When a new box comes into view, type cmd and checkmark the box “Create this task with administrative privileges”.
  • Click OK and it will instantly attempt to open an elevated Command Prompt. However, to proceed further, you need to hit Yes button on the UAC prompt.
  • Once into the black window, insert the below command and hit Enter to start fixing the bad areas in the hard disk.

chkdsk C: /f /r /x

  • This command only lets you know about the disk status and will not fix up the issue. Therefore, add some prefixes at the end of the above command – /f /r /x

“f” will enforce the command to bypass the issues from the volume.

“r” letter will make sure to trace out the poor sectors in the Hard Disk.

“x” notation will make the whole volume to dismount before going ahead with the procedure. Hence, finally, the entire command will be – chkdsk C: /f /r /x

Note – C: in the above command is the drive letter where the OS is installed. If you have installed Windows in other drivers, substitute the letter with D:, E: and so on.

11] Uninstall Apps with Same Functionalities

Each one of us loves to personalize our computers and thus install several applications. But at many times, certain programs in the system happens to serve the same purpose. This often creates conflicts in the system files while they try to execute their respective tasks. So, in such situations, you should try to uninstall them and check if this mitigates the DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS error.

  • Access the Settings app and navigate to the Apps category.
  • On the right side of the following page, locate and select the programs that conflict in their operations.
  • Click Uninstall and observe the instructions of the software to delete it from the device.
  • Once you remove them, you should not come across any BSOD errors anymore.

12] Repair Windows Image Files

Sometimes, corrupted Windows Image files are responsible for the occurrence of DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS BSOD. Fortunately, running the DISM tool will repair these files right away. To use this utility, proceed with the given series of steps –

  • Launch the Run box using any of your convenient methods.
  • Write cmd in the box and quickly open Command Prompt as Admin from Run Dialog by using “Ctrl + Shift + Enter” hotkeys.
  • Insert the following command tool in the black window and press Enter to run the tool.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  • A scan to detect the defective image files will start in a moment and the utility will try to fix it out. The entire process will take some time to finish, so be patient enough.

13] Temporary Removal of External Accessories

If you have attached an external hard drive or other elements into your device, you are likely to encounter errors. Therefore, to prevent such conflicts, you should first detach all the external items that you have recently connected with your computer.

Once you do so Restart Windows 10 PC and then see if you face DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS error or not. If the device is functioning smoothly, try to connect those accessories one by one.

14] Restore Previously Created Restore Points

Even after trying the above workarounds you are not successful in resolving DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS error then give an attempt to the System Restore feature. It will take your device back to the point when everything was working nicely. However, to avail this workaround, you should ensure that you have already created a restore point when you were not getting the error.

  • Get access to the taskbar search by pressing the combo key “Win + Q”. Once it shows up, type rstrui command and hit Enter.
  • System Restore wizard will become visible on the screen, click on Next to view “old restore points” that you have previously generated.
  • Once you find restore point when your system was running absolutely smoothly, you need to select it and press Next.
  • After doing so, there will be a pop-up Finish, you need to click on it to start the process.

This might not be a suitable solution but mostly user opt to reinstall Windows 10 completely. In case nothing works correctly then you have to “reset your system”. Now it’s your choice to remove your personal files or to save them. Below are the steps which you can try –

  • Firstly you need to go to Settings.
  • Click Update & security tab on the UI of the application.
  • Once you do so, it would take you to another page where you would find Recovery on the left sidebar. Select it and on its right side navigate to “Reset this PC” section.
  • Make a click on the Get started button under it. Please go through the guidelines carefully to finish the process.
  • Now once your system gets reinstalled, you will not be getting any kind of BSOD errors like DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS.

16] Disable Auto Restart to solve DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS

Many users complain that they are unable to carry out the workarounds as the PC reboots all by itself once affected by the BSOD. This happens to protect your device from further damage that the DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS error can cause. Once the OS detects a system failure, the auto-shutdown feature comes into action. Let us see how to switch off this option so that you can smoothly tweak out things to fix up the BSOD –

  • First of all, head to the desktop and do a right-click on This PC icon. Choose Properties option from the menu that shows up.
  • Execute a hit on “Advanced system settings” link.
  • System properties wizard will come into view displaying three sections. Go the Startup and Recovery and do a click Settings.
  • Now, find out the option Automatically restart and uncheck it. Click OK and Apply buttons to implement the changes and then the device will not take auto-reboots.

17] Uninstall 3rd Party Antivirus Tools

Being a Windows 10 user, you don’t require any 3rd party antimalware solutions to protect your PC from threats. While installing these utilities, they make some changes in the registry which in return creates issues like DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS. Microsoft provides Windows Security, the built-in security app to deal with malicious activities. So, you can uninstall them to prevent the occurrence of any BSODs.

  • Access the Settings app using any of your preferred ways like using the shortcut key “Win+I”.
  • When the user interface of the app becomes visible on the screen, click on the Apps category.
  • Switch on the right pane and locate the antimalware utility that you are using from the outside source. Click the Uninstall button.
  • Go through the guidelines that the tool suggests you finish the procedure.

That’s all!!!

    Every time I try to install The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]. At step 15 Installing Apache2 With mod_php, mod_fcgi/PHP5, And suPHP. When i go to restart Apache i get this error
    Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/ into server: /etc/httpd/modules/ cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

    What did you do to fix this. I'm about to pull my hair out.

    I used to make a mistake when editing vi /etc/php.ini
    vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf
    vi /etc/suphp.conf
    make sure you are creating thee file and paste them corrctly
  5. JamesDunn

    Yes, I've verified everything multiple times. Guess I set something else up incorrectly.

    falko Super Moderator ISPConfig Developer

    What are the exact error messages?
  7. JamesDunn

    JamesDunn New Member

    I got it sorted. After an exhaustive research, I discovered that I probably needed to install SUPHP and configure it. After I went through those steps, APACHE started right up and ran just fine.

    After installing ISPConfig3, I discovered that MyDNS Server is not operating, so I've got to go back and figure out if I missed a step. Otherwise, I'm working just fine.

    Thanks for reading and asking.

Katie – Lady to HuCow transformation

Katie – Lady to HuCow transformation

posted in: Transformation | 26

The spectacular Katie is now one of our HuCows, but in the past, she was a very classy lady with a perfect dress style, makeup, and hair. Unfortunately for her, her boobs were so big she got selected for the HuCow training program. Some members have asked to see a transformation from classy lady into a HuCow. Well, there is no one better to show you this than Katie of course! Without even protesting, she strips down completely naked, oils her udders, puts on a cow mask, and handcuffs herself behind her back. Ready for massaging, playing, milking, and whatever you want to do with her. Katie has been transformed! She is a HuCow now.

  1. “SUCKCESS!!!!!” I am so excited to see Katie complete her transformation – she has achieved the position she was born for – on all fours – docile and being endlessly milked …..

  2. MilkingLover

    Too crude; much of Katie’s appeal is her lovely face, which is also very expressive. Unfortunate to cover her most important features.

    • Actually I’d disagree with you about the mask. I think being made to wear it sort of robs Katie of her beautiful face. It’s another step to humiliate and depersonalise her. Now, when ever someone looks at her, they just see this naked, big boobed, sexy body but with this ridiculous and stupid cartoon cow’s head on top. I’d like to fantasise that it locks into place round the back so she can’t remove it without the key and that it also prevents her from being able to speak as well. And that Katie secretly gets off on knowing just how ridiculous and silly she looks like this.

  3. She should have had her cow bell on too

  4. I love Katie I am so happy to see she complete her transformation into a hucow I hope we will see a lot more of this hucows in the future

  5. Wonderful! Has she gained weight? Hope IT us ok to ask…

    • She has gained some weight for sure, looks good on her! Let’s hope and prey that she has met a nice bull and is expecting in a few months. Thar should really start her produktion.

  6. What a great film, so wonderful to see Katie again, I missed her so! I just wish she would get the milk flowing soon…

    Mabye you can give her a full body paint next time, a nice black and white. Except the udders of course, they must be naked.

    Anorher idea is to milk her on her back, and lift her heavy udders by her nipples while they are sucked, talk about nippel torture! I would love it!

  7. In my opinion she should be gagged with a mouth stuffing and wrap around tape gag under the mask. Additionally she needs her udders tied with tape. And maybe let her wear a cow style catsuit.

  8. Amazing!!! hahaha wow so funny!!! lol

    I think if she wear cowsuit that would be nice!!

    thank you so much

  9. Melker123

    The mask is great. For this I miss another bell around the neck and an anal plug with cow tail. It should also be milked for a long time, on all fours.

  10. Goatherd

    I appreciate that you treat your livestock with so much respect. White other farmers only care about getting them to the milking barn and strap the milker to the udders, you let them even undress and oil the udders themselves. This is really unprecedented treatment for the cows. I am sure this difference will be imminent in the finished dairy products. Keep up the good work.

  11. Hey … What’s this…..? I can’t understand

    I like her face. look! so beautiful isn’t it??

    don’t put damn mask on her face plz.. hah….

  12. you look good so sweet

  13. You did a fantastic job with this one – from start to finish!

  14. Wish I was her.

  15. I am absolutely NOT a fan of the cow mask! Katie is beautiful. Continue to show her lovely face. Even though she has become a docile hucow, I think it is important to maintain that appearance that she is being milked against her will. Keep her bound and gagged while being milked.

  16. I am interested in becoming a hucow and i want to be turned into a girl and be used as a girl and et pregnant and i want to be turned into hucow and please come and get me i am at Yorkville.

  17. Zelda3565

    what a lovely well looked after herd, I think the milk production will increase tenfold the herders must have a tough job keeping the herd under control but it looks like thy ae fresh and frisky

    i like this cow but iam cow too. use me please

sober october

The health benefits of giving up alcohol aren’t to be sniffed at. These seven tips can help you stay sober after a month off the booze.
You might be feeling apprehensive about a whole month without alcohol and wondering if you have the willpower to last a full 31 days. Research shows that yes, you do - as long as you believe you do.
A glass of wine after work, beers with mates, champagne to celebrate and a shot or two on a night out - so far so normal? It's surprisingly easy to slip into a habit of drinking more than intended. Here are four more benefits that might nudge you to make the decision to Go Sober for October...
It wasn't just because the hangovers were getting worse (or longer). Anyone who's ever sworn themselves off hooch whilst in the midst of fighting The Fear knows full well that the after-effects of a booze-filled night are no deterrent to quitting for good.

UK property market - expectations for the coming 6 months

28th June 2016 posted in Hunters News

UK property market - expectations for the coming 6 months

Foxtons announced yesterday (27 June 2016) that they expect their results to drop below last year for the 2016 half year to June. Hunters by comparison is expecting quite the reverse as per the company’s half year trading update of 1st June when they announced results for the first half year, expecting to be significantly ahead of  the equivalent period last year.

Ed Jones, CFO of Hunters Property Plc, commented, “In our view, and historically, bricks and mortar have tended to be a good investment that is more than capable of weathering storms over extended periods of time.  The Brexit outcome will not solve the UK’s legacy of under-investment in national housing that underpins property performance as an asset class, it’s about supply and demand.  The shock may dip prices, and even demand temporarily, but such circumstances could then equally result in enhanced potential buying opportunities.”

uk property market expectations

According to Ed we should expect some short term dips as the market reacts to the uncertainty of the Brexit referendum outcome. The uncertainty will likely last through what appears to be both major political parties engaging in leadership battles.  However, Ed added “during such times, people will still need or want to move for any given personal reason or circumstance and our job is to help people put a roof over their heads. We would be well advised to keep a close watch on the uncertainty and how markets respond, but ultimately continue to do what we do best; to provide excellent service for anyone who is selling, buying, letting or renting property in the UK.”

Two Workers Pronounced Dead Following Wichita Industrial Accident

Emergency responders were sent to a chemical processing plant owned by Occidental Chemical Corporation, sometimes referred to as OxyChemical, near Wichita in late June 2016. Two workers were reported to have fallen off a boom truck or “cherry picker truck” while on-the-job; the official make and model of the boom truck has not been released to the public. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

OxyChemical, the contractor that owned the boom truck, and the sheriff’s office are still investigating the industrial accident. It is unclear if or when the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will get involved to investigate the accident as well. Officials were quick to note that the incident posed no harm to the public, no chemicals were released, and no facilities that house chemicals were damaged.

(A full article was posted by KWCH12 here.)

There are some concerns about what may have led to the fatal accident, however. In particular, the mechanical failure of the boom truck may have been preventable with regular maintenance and inspection. If there is a lack of maintenance records onsite, OxyChemical may be partially liable for the accident. The workers were also contracted, not regular employees, meaning their surviving family members may be unable to collect any sort of wrongful death benefits as part of a workers’ compensation package.

At Hutton & Hutton Law Firm, LLC, our personal injury lawyers proudly serve injured individuals and their families throughout Wichita and its adjacent counties. If you have been injured by another’s negligence, or if you have lost a loved one and need to file a wrongful death lawsuit, please contact us today to schedule your free initial consultation with our team. With us in your corner, you may be able to secure full compensation for your damages.

How big can you go

Well, I know that 5GB really isn’t that much. So there are different sizes you can choose from. It all depends on where you are in the world for the pricing but I will base this on the United States prices.

  • 5GB
    • Free
  • 50GB
    • $0.99
  • 200GB
    • $2.99
  • 2TB
    • $9.99

These are all monthly. So if you are going to go with 2TB then it will $9.99 a month.

My opinion

So I have a few Apple products and so naturally I have iCloud storage. The 5GB storage lasted me a while, then I went to the 200GB and shared it with one of my kids. The others were on the 50GB plan. I took the leap and got the 2TB plan and I shared these members of the family. It is a nice thing to have I mean I have

  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • MacBook Pro

The others have iPhones, MacBook Airs as well and we use the storage.

It makes it nice to have all the stuff right there. I use it as an Exchange server and sync all the calendar items, notes, contacts, and reminders to all of my devices. It makes it so nice and I can access it from a browser. So if you use an Apple product. Check it out.

Poll: In Online Dating, How do you Wait long Before Fulfilling face-to-face?

This poll is motivated with a message that is recent thread about online dating sites and exactly how long individuals wait to schedule times with individuals they click with. straight Back once I did just a little internet dating (always locally), I liked to switch email messages for around a 14 days before conference face-to-face. we donвЂ™t think we ever asked anybody out, but We might are making some nudges for the reason that way, hinting that I became prepared to just just take things offline. We figured if a lot more than three days had opted by and we also nevertheless hadnвЂ™t met face-to-face, then there was clearlynвЂ™t sufficient curiosity about which makes it take place and I also shifted currently. How about you? WhatвЂ™s your normal training?

Christy 20, 2012, 2:11 pm june

We utilized to hold back much too very long. IвЂ™d imagine a link online that literally NEVER panned call at individual. (aside from your ex with who we made plans, but whom somehow got by herself a girlfriend when you look at the week involving the plan being made in addition to date? So then we simply came across in a way that is friendly. But which was also a bad thing that happened from waiting a long time.)

I did so a good little bit of internet dating, and let me make it clear, the real life worked far better for my awkward self. Less objectives.

Matthew June 20, 2012, 2:19 pm

Any other thing more compared to a few e-mails is ridiculous. Connection and chemistry online simply doesnвЂ™t after all indicate a connection that is solid chemistry in actual life. ThereвЂ™s really extremely little point in not fulfilling in individual sooner rather than later.

honeybeenicki 20, 2012, 2:19 pm june

IвЂ™ve never had the joy of internet dating, but i do believe i might probably choose an emails that are few at minimum one telephone call and probably wouldnвЂ™t wait a lot more than about 14 days.

Fabelle 20, 2012, 2:26 pm june

We have no experience with this, but I’d to laugh during the final option рџ™‚

MissDre 20, 2012, 3:08 pm june

We made my BF that is current within or 5 times i believe? But we was indeed emailing forward and backward all for those 4 days day.

MissDre 20, 2012, 3:16 pm june

RMM0278 June 20, 2012, 3:12 pm

Back when it was done by me, I’d a two e-mail optimum. I aimed for having a date set by the third email or sooner although I never asked anyone out. ThereвЂ™s no point in wasting time emailing one another. I needed to obtain the conference over with and so I could see if there is any connection.

Once I first began, I wound up wasting a lot of time with guys whom, although during my zip rule, simply desired a pen pal. (really, how come online dating sites if you get stretching out e-mail correspondence for a thirty days?) I wasted considerable time, work, and attention attempting to woo them simply to find call at their fifth, 8th, 11th e-mail that theyвЂ™re still speaking about details in my own profile and the thing I do for a full time income.

rachel 20, 2012, 3:26 pm june

This always happened certainly to me with guys whom werenвЂ™t within my zip rule. I’m able to keep in mind a man in Boulder, plus one in Denver (We reside about an hour away from both) that changed into pen pals because i assume it simply ended up beingnвЂ™t beneficial to either of us to help make the drive.

Will.i.am June 21, 2012, 8:41 am

Ha. Internet dating is absolutely nothing www.datingrating.net/polish-hearts-review/ but choices. ThereвЂ™s therefore options that are many front side of you you actually donвЂ™t have to be in. Whenever I achieved it, we saw a great amount of pages disappear for a week or two then keep coming back online. Then, disappear for the next then come back online week.

We will say this wholeheartedly, i believe internet dating is among the worse things for dating. It positively ruins chemistry and decimates your self confidence. Fulfilling some body in real world has nevertheless offered me personally much greater outcomes than fulfilling some body online. With online, it is just too very easy to bail!

zombeyonce June 21, 2012, 11:28 am

We disagree that on line dating ruins chemistry. We came across my better half online so we emailed backwards and forwards for approximately an and a half before we met week.

Once I met him on our very first date, he’d a rather unpleasant (if you ask me, but not likely to hipster girls) dense handlebar mustache and then he had been really soft-spoken, which makes it difficult in my situation to listen to lots of exactly what he said. If I experiencednвЂ™t seen other images of him clean shaven or enjoyed their e-mails a great deal (they certainly were fantastic and hilarious), i might have already been far more shallow rather than seemed through the undesired facial hair together with quietness and never tried to hard to hear exactly what he had to state.

IвЂ™m glad used to do, I can actually hear him now and heвЂ™s just as hilarious as his emails were because he looks damn hot without that mustache, and. If he hadnвЂ™t addicted me personally together with them plus it had simply been a blind date, IвЂ™m perhaps not sure I would personally went on a moment date with him. That could were a tragedy.

You can easily bail once you only meet someone online, nonetheless itвЂ™s awfully an easy task to bail whenever they are met by you in person, too. We dated a couple of others I came across on the web in person first, but I quickly found out they were not for me when we messaged back and forth on the dating site before I met my husband, and while there were plenty of jerks, there were also people I may have accepted a date from if I had met them. Together with dudes i did so meet in individual seemed interested in an additional date than many dudes IвЂ™ve dated from вЂњthe real life.вЂќ So when far as chemistry goes, a good emailer can get me personally feeling the chemistry pretty effortlessly.

zombeyonce June 21, 2012, 11:29 am

Kristina 20, 2012, 3:13 pm june

IвЂ™m unsure i might ever decide to try online datingвЂ“it appears so up into the airвЂ“it works ideal for some, horribly for other individuals. I have creeped away enough by random dudes in general public asking for my number, that meeting someone IвЂ™ve only talked to a few times online (where it is very easy to be somebody else) creeps me out a bit.

Apple To Launch New iPhone 5SE And iPad Air 3

 Apple To Launch New iPhone 5SE And iPad Air 3

 Apple To Launch New iPhone 5SE And iPad Air 3

The technology giant Apple, yet again is all set to sweep the market with its much-anticipated 4inch iPhone 5SE. A new iPad Air 3 will also be launched with the phone in an event likely to be organised on 15th of March. The information about the launch was first released by the technology blog 9to5mac.

Apple relatively will use a new strategy for the sale of the new gadgets, unlike its previous models. Usually, the company put the newly launched models for online pre-orders and makes them available one to two weeks following the launch events. This time, Apple is not offering any online preorders as the new models will be available for the sale from the same week. The new iPhone 5SE and the iPad Air 3 will be available for sale in retail stores from 18th of March, just three days after the launch. This decision is open to last minute changes as reported by 9to5mac.

iPhone 5SE is specially designed and infused with new features after keeping in mind the needs of the customers who love a faster device without  any need of upgrading it to models with way larger screens sizes like iPhone 6S and 6S plus.

The new smartphone is said to have Apples’ latest A9 and M9 processors to give users a fast interface and smooth working, an NFC chip for Apple Pay, support for always-on Siri activation, the iPhone 6’s camera system, and the feature to take Live Photos. The device will be available in the gold, rose gold, silver, and space gray, colours same as the iPhone 6S. The body of the new device will also be same as the iPhone 6S.

The iPad Air 3 will include a Smart Connector and will support Apple-branded accessories. The device is said to be compatible with updated Smart Keyboards and Apple Pencil support. It is expected that the new iPad will include a variant of the A9 processor. It will have an upgraded camera system, and potentially a rear flash to click brighter pictures.

Apple is also planning to unveil some other gadgets in the same launch event which includes a series of new Apple Watch Sport Band colours, NATO-style nylon bands, and a Space Black Milanese Loop.

Distinct Dnase-I Hypersensitive Sites Are Associated with Tal-1 Transcription in Erythroid and T-Cell Lines

Leroyviard, K.; Vinit, M. A.; Lecointe, N.; Mathieumahul, D.; Romeo, P. H.

1994-12-01 / vol 84 / pages 3819-3827

The tal-1 gene, frequently activated in human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), is expressed in the erythroid, megakaryocytic, and mast cell lineages during normal hematopoiesis. To gain further insight into the molecular mechanisms that control tal-1 expression, we investigated tal-1 chromatin structure in erythroid/megakaryocytic cell lines and in T-cell lines either with or without tal-1 rearrangements. Tal-1 transcription was shown to be monoallelic in Jurkat, a T-cell line that expresses tal-1 in the absence of apparent genomic alteration of the locus. Methylation studies indicated that the tal-1 5′ GC-rich region behaves like a CpG island, hypomethylated in normal cells, and methylated de novo on transcriptionally inactive alleles in established cell lines. Five major DNase-I hypersensitive sites (HS) were mapped in the tal-1 locus. HS I, IV, and V were exclusively observed in the erythroid/megakaryocytic cell lines that express tal-1 from the promoters 1a and 1b. HS II was weak in hematopoietic cell lines, absent in Hela, and greatly enhanced in Jurkat, suggesting that this region might be implicated in the cis-activation of tal-1 promoter Ib in this cell line. HS III was weak in HEL and Jurkat, and greatly enhanced in DU528, a T-cell line that bears a t(1;14) and initiates tal-1 transcription within exon 4. These results suggest that distinct regulatory elements are associated with the use of the different tal-1 promoters. (C) 1994 by The American Society of Hematology.

A revolution in increasing business efficiency and security

As many great things, the Iiwari story also begins in the Finnish forest…

Finally, everything is always locatable

It is said that the seeker finds. Iiwari’s positioning service locates a stationary asset with 10 cm accuracy, and a mobile asset with 50 cm accuracy. Searching and discovering was also about the birth of Iiwari. The founder of the company, who searched for a reliable indoor location service all over the world, found the developer of world class UWB technology right next to him, through a neighbor.

Iiwari’s indoor positioning technology had been developed for more than 10 years at VTT, one of Europe’s leading research institutes. The game changing research has been productized by Iiwari into the best combination of accuracy, scalability, reliability and affordability for indoor positioning on the market.

The Iiwari team share a burning desire and determination to build a more efficient and safer world where all important assets are locatable. Originally applied to forest machines, the patented technology delivers benefits from saving lives in hospitals to increasing one-time purchases in the supermarket.

Iiwari has a solution and the ability to change the world one or a million spatial data points at a time – in any aspect of life.

How to Make More Money From the Palm of Your Hand

If making the best out of less-than-ideal situations was an Olympic sport, South Africans would be bringing home the gold. It would be a task and a half to find a nation more tenacious in its ability to adapt to dire situations and a global pandemic has been no exception.

It is in the spirit of our people to care for their families and communities through impressively industrious thinking. And it is in the spirit of the iKhokha team to help them get there.

Making money is for everybody

At iKhokha, we believe making money should be easy. It doesn’t need to be taxing or tiresome. It can be as convenient as the card machine in your store or the cell phone in your back pocket. Why? Because simplicity can change they world.

Accessibility is at the forefront of all our ideas at iKhokha. Our decisions are always geared towards making financial technology and business tools more available to the backbone of our economy; small businesses. Just one of those ideas is our prepaid vending service: iK Vend.

What is iK Vend?

How does iK Vend work?

The iKhokha App and iK Vend help you to uplift and support your community by selling prepaid services conveniently from your place of business. All you need to get the balling rolling is:

iK-Vend 2

Expand your income

If you’ve had your finger on the entrepreneurial pulse, you’ll know the importance placed on multiple streams of income. Some of us are still recovering from the whiplash that was COVID-19 and heading into the workforce more aware than ever that our financial security can be compromised at any moment. With that in mind, it’s no wonder then that so many South Africans have made the (applaudable) decision to expand their income through side hustles and multiple businesses.

Which is where we come in.

Start selling

What are the prepaid services you can sell with iK Vend? Well, only the most necessary services that everybody needs.

  1. Data
  2. Airtime
  3. Electricity, gas, and water
  4. Telkom bills
  5. EasyPay bills
  6. Pay@bills
  7. DStv
  8. Traffic fines

This means that people can pay for data and airtime whilst they’re getting their nails done. They could even settle their bills from their local coffee house. Perhaps, they could ease the blow of a nasty traffic fine by paying for it in your warm and welcoming art studio? With iK Vend, you can make easy money whilst you make other peoples lives easier.

The options are limitless: and they’re in arms reach when you join the iK Tribe. This could be your chance to grow your business for under R500. What are you waiting for?

Controversial Hainault community centre gets final green light

The trustee of a Muslim association taking over a working men’s club says the new centre will be a triumph of community cohesion.

But they insisted it may not be used as place of worship, and opening hours will be limited to 8am-10pm or 11pm every day apart from Sunday, which will be 10am-10pm.

Hainault and Chigwell Muslim Association is now in final talks over the 25-year lease, and trustee Hamid Sheikh hopes the new centre could be up and running in about three months.

He said: “I think people will be pleasantly surprised when they see it is different to what they thought.

“We are welcoming everybody, whatever their creed or colour, to help us develop our aims and goals.”

You may also want to watch:

The move to convert the derelict hall into a space run by the Muslim association has split the Hainault community.

Petitions from local residents totalled 562 signatures in support of the plans and nearly 500 against it.

Most Read

The association says it plans to breathe a new lease of life into the building with a �100,000 refurbishment including a seniors club, health clinic, and function hall.

Plans include a “multifaith” quiet room, which opponents like Barry Bird fear will only be used for Muslim prayer.

Mr Bird, who started the Forest Social Club to try to win back the building in 2008, said he was not surprised by the decision made at a planning meeting at Redbridge Town Hall, High Road, Ilford.

He said: “It was a foregone conclusion that they were going to get it. The councillors who make these decisions don’t live round here. They don’t know what the community wants. We still believe it will be used as a mosque and they will pray in there – and the building won’t be for the whole community.”

Mr Sheikh denied the building would be used for Muslim prayers, adding: “We are there to serve the community, and we celebrate and participate in Christmas, Diwali and Hanukkah.”
