Maybe i'm just suspicious but an account with only 2 posts bigging up PSF... No offence intended

It will be really good but hardly anyone will use it and after 18 months or so it will be pulled much to the annoyance of the hardcore group who use it a lot and find it really useful

Nice, thanks very much I shall swot up

Morning All Wasn't sure where to stick this so went with a safe bet. Have applied for a job at a special needs school and just wondered if any of you have any tips on SEN hardware and software for me to look up before a potential interview? I've done a few bits with Numbershark, Wordshark, Successmaker and Clicker but that was a good few years ago and wondered whats new? TIA

Get in touch with the Preschool Learning Alliance they can help you with all you need to consider AND if you become a member you can get your PLI through them too and a very good rate. I used to be Treasurer then Chair of our local Preschool (incidentally we'd have taken both of them together no problem)

You ought to do a full reset everytime you load a new ROM and probably clear the dalvik cache too. It might not be completely necessary but aside from manufacturer released upgrades (ie OTA) it's what I do each time -
Well that's no wearing off, not fun. Yup there's a saff swim here on a Friday so I go home and pick everyone up go swimming then we go to morrisons for the £9 for 4 meals and drinks

Good luck, you'll be fine i'm sure. Let us know how you get on. Life will be so much better for you once it's repaired. The wife had hers years ago now and it's completely healed and perfect, no pain at all

I wonder how many arguments would be averted if someone would PLEASE invent sarcasm tags for forums. Should make the text look bold and spiky or something like that LOL

Yeah its a fair point that about diet too. We can trace back exactly what triggered mine off which was near fatal Glandular Fever when I was admitted to hospital I was 24 hours from liver failure (yet I wasn't ill enough for a dr to come see me on a saturday "im not coming out to see someone in their 20s with a stiff neck" had to get taxi to clinic then fell thru door lol). It's interesting to see how widespread this is now, when FMS/ME/CFS/PVFS was first bandied around me there was very little out there but now the Pain Clinic i'm going to is talking about setting up a support group for FMS sufferers as there's so many of us (don't know whether that's good or not). Good result at Drs today (I guess) she's always really helpful and often asks me what I would like to be prescribed as she knows i'm looking into it more than her and then we discuss the feasibility of the treatment. She's taken me of the dihydrocodeine as it was fairly ineffective and as there's no paracetamol in it its incredibly tempting to take more than prescription to help (within safe limits of course) given me 300 top whack co-codamol to help. The Venlafaxine has been upped to the top dose now 2 tablets morning and evening which helps with the mood swings and also mediates the pain a little and I have small doses of Amitriptyline twice daily. All of that lot together helps me limp through life and it's a huge difference on having nothing. We're looking into low dose Naltrexone next as a therapy. Dr Myhill does a lot of interesting research into this and offers private tests that have been developed and not adopted by the NHS (Mitochondrial function test that can give a number of your energy levels etc) she also sells supplements at a very reasonable cost for those that want to try them. There's a Myhills Mineral Mix (sounds like dog food) that has everything you need in it plus huge doses of Vitamin D and other things that are allegedly involved in the pain and tiredness half a kilo of the mix is about £20 and it lasts for around 100 days. I've not tried it yet but going to order some to try nothing to lose eh?

How do they get the apk for deployment now? When I had them if you wanted to deploy an app from play store you had to manually grab the apk from a device. I asked how that was supposed to work but never got an answer, wasn't really a problem I installed it on my phone and grabbed the apk that way just wondering if it's more streamlined now?

Time to report back to gp today. Feel terrible this morning have ups and downs think I'm on a downward one at the moment knees, wrists & fingers particularly bad today along with lower back absolute agony. I do find that pushing thru getting up going to work helps, whether that's because it's a distraction or whether it's a case of loosening up during the day I don't know. Going to see if I can try some of the esoteric drugs today. There's an addiction treatment drug used to treat fms in incredibly low doses some patients have found it very helpful, treatment is referred to as LDN so see what gp says to that today.

I really notice the difference between going to bed at say 11pm and say 1am I get a late night and the pain is far far worse the following day

Hey guys Recently been to the pain clinic and told I have this, it's not a diagnosis as it's not a disease as such but more a description of symptoms. They don't know what causes it or how to treat it (although some random drugs help some people there is no specific treatment). It's taken nearly a decade to get this far but now going to pain seminars where you get to see a clinical nurse, physio, psychologist etc in one clinic. Basically it means (to save anyone googling it) that you suffer in pretty much constant pain in various places or just throughout the body. It's hard to describe but imagine the nasty aches and pains that you get with flu and then imagine feeling that way 24/7 sometimes a bit better, sometimes a lot worse. As it's not classic pain - ie pain from damage traditional painkillers have little effect I have 500mg/30mg co-codamol and Dihydrocodeine at the moment sometimes they help other times they dont. FM is kind of a subset of ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome they're all lumped together, depending on what is the worst symptom is the title you get given lol. Way the pain was explained to me: Imagine you're at a party with lots of people talking, one person is talking to you and you without thinking tune out all the background noise and just listen to their voice. Now imagine that normal pain is the conversation you're having and all the background noise is not pain but other signals flying around your body. What is happening is your brain/CNS is processing all that background noise as if it was the thing it should be listening to so what should just be background signal is felt as bad pain. Drs have no idea what causes it and how to treat it at the moment unfortunately. I've had many of the other drugs they use to treat it there are 2 epilepsy drugs that have a side effect of lessening the pain Pregabalin worked for a few months on me then stopped and Gabapentin made me errr shall we say a bit loopy. So I have this flu like pain in my legs, knees and ankles, arms and some days operating a mouse is a real chore. It's hard but sadly seems to be just have to crack on and deal with it by treating all the other problems it causes like depression. I think if it wasn't for the kids i'd have given up and retreated under the duvet never to be seen again lol. Still there are people worse off in the world and you just have to play the hand you're dealt eh Anyone else suffer with something like this?

That's why you do the smart thing and say tablets etc without mentioning names

Fail, look at the pins

They're great aren't they? Had some on trial and never got any further (dont ask) the QR codes thing is brilliant, you can do all kinds of clever stuff with them from logins to quiz round the school with them sticking the codes up in various places. Great fun

this is going to be one of those seminal moments in history. Where they go from here will probably define data protection (or lack of it) for the next few decades, if not longer. MS have seriously got to fight this and the US government needs to sit down with the EU and work this out. If it's data on a US citizen held on an EU server and used in the US and they actually have good reason for the warrant then I don't have an issue with it BUT as this is likely to be some kind of test case and we all know how the US loves to have one sided agreements on such things the lawyers involved and the politicians need to get this right. If this is about an EU citizen then the US can FO even if it's about a crime they have no right to the data they should go to the country where the person is, make their case for extradition and access to the data that way NOT go through the back door of legally leaning on a US company

Well fttc is getting there, my dad just ordered

Yup with all friends and family and the poor people who witnessed such a terrible event it must scar you forever

Well looks like the CPS finally managed to hit a target with their scattergun approach. Absolutely shocking this was going on although without hearing the details I won't condemn the man either way I wasn't on the jury but as he's found guilty WTF is he going home for??? If that was me or you we'd be instantly incarcerated as a flight risk
