Loading Vista over XP

Hello all,

Newbie here. I got a Sony Vaio VGNCR220EL laptop through an online auction. It originally had Vista Home Premium, but is loaded with XP. What options do I have to replace XP with Vista? How do I know if I need 32 bit or 64? Thanks all in advance for assistance.

Knows where his towel is.

Hi John, welcome to NST
Does the laptop still have the hidden Sony recovery partition ?
Check here how to find and use it to factory reset the laptop back to "out of the box" condition.
If it's been wiped along with Vista, then you could either buy yourself a Vista DVD, or try borrowing one from a friend and installing a vanilla Vista system, using the serial number on the laptop not the one on the DVD.
The processor in that PC supports 64 bit OSs, but I think it came originally installed with 32 bit. I don't know how the setup program handles 32/64 when you quote the serial number, I have an OEM system builder copy which is exclusively 64 bit, so I have no experience of the "full retail" which comes with both flavours included.

← Genesis 11   Genesis 13 →

1 And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.

2 And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.

3 And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'

4 And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.

5 And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.

6 And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land.

7 And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, `To thy seed I give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto him.

8 And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.

9 And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south.

10 And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;

11 and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance;

12 and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This [is] his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:

13 say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'

14 And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding fair;

15 and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh's house;

16 and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.

17 And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house -- great plagues -- for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife.

18 And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] thy wife?

19 Why hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.'

20 And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.

Swapo unity a national necessity

The acrimonious relations between Swapo leaders, evident at almost every public forum in recent months, are incrementally biting into what is left of the party’s fibre. Insults hurled in parliament this week, during the live broadcast of what is deemed a family television show and therefore accessible to children, was the new low insofar as lack of discipline within the party is concerned. Swapo must decide how it wants to be perceived by the public - a united party clear on its goals and development agenda or a refuge for anarchists. Discipline is a virtue of good behaviour. And good behaviour does not necessarily mean agreeing on everything every time. People could disagree but still portray good behaviour – at least in public. Discord is a natural occurrence in every social setting, but a political party in charge of the country’s affairs must be seen to be united on key national issues. It’s difficult for the public to trust an outfit whose leaders send out mixed messages and therefore seem to be divided on what that outfit ought to deliver in terms of service. In the absence of discipline, the revolutionary vanguard cannot exist, for in that case it would find itself in total confusion in its practice and would be incompetent in identifying the tasks of the moment or living up to the initiator role that the masses expect of it. Swapo, at its internal fora, must preach the gospel of solving contradictions internally and using the relevant party structures. It is the same as government. We saw a high profile public contradiction between two important ministries last year regarding phosphate mining. The gaffe depicted government as uncoordinated and not knowing what it wants to do on a matter so serious. The parliamentary confrontations this week are the clearest sign yet that Swapo needs to do something to protect itself, without necessarily having to boot perceived transgressors from its rank. A united Swapo is good for the country. Party cadres from section level to politburo must understand why it is important for Swapo – with the mandate it got from voters in 2014 and 2015 – to remain united and with eyes firmly set on what needs to be done for the nation to prosper. Denigrating and fighting each negates President Hage Geingob’s efforts to govern successfully, especially when the very men and women that are essentially his lieutenants in government and the party spend their time on personal feuds. For Swapo to advance in promulgating the achievement of its objectives, its rank and file should be closely connected in organisational terms and their actions should abide strictly by a well-defined discipline, as outlined in the party’s code of conduct and other rulebooks. True, Swapo is a constituency of multiple influences because of its diverse membership. However, it is important that members all with their persuasions and tendencies represent a homogeneous collective effort when addressing issues related to the national development agenda. Infighting is counter-revolutionary and breeds disorganisation, which, in turn, could reduce the party to political impotence. The principle of fraternal discipline should be inculcated within members of any political formation worth its salt. It’s how institutions, in any trade, are supposed to function.

The US Department of Defense has issued new orders to all of its branches that immediately begins restricting soldiers’ use of GPS tracking apps in places it deems to be sensitive or dangerous.

While the new orders stop short of a total ban on the use of GPS enabled devices in “global hot spots,” any geolocation software outside of non-approved devices used for military purposes must be turned off.

GPS enabled apps such as Strava have in the past shown the routes and training routines of soldiers within military bases. The Pentagon has now banned the use of GPS devices when soldiers are on “active-duty.”

Military chiefs believe the move is necessary to avoid gifting “enemies with information on military operations.”

At the heart of the issue is the fact that that information stored by GPS-based services by companies such as Strava, Fitbit, and Apple, are uploaded to servers which then may be shared with third-parties, and seen by existing and potential US adversaries.

“It goes back to making sure we’re not giving the enemy an unfair advantage and we’re not showcasing the exact location of our troops worldwide,” a spokesman for the Pentagon told reporters last week.

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is commonly found in most cellular phones and a variety of other devices, including cars and fitness trackers.

A memo posted by the current Deputy Defense Secretary, Patrick Shanahan on Monday, clearly defined the new rules. All military personnel on “active-duty” are now banned from using fitness trackers or any other applications on mobile devices which utilise GPS, and any other device or app “that pinpoint and track the location of individuals.”

“The rapidly evolving market of devices, applications, and services with geolocation capabilities… presents significant risk to Department of Defense (DoD) personnel both on and off duty, and to our military operations globally,” reads the official order. “These geolocation capabilities can expose personal information, locations, routines, and numbers of DoD personnel, and potentially create unintended security consequences and increased risk to the joint force and mission.”

Event helps communities to get growing - 21st March 2018

Published on Monday, March 20, 2017

A COMMUNITY food-growing event is taking place at City Hall this week.

The drop-in event, which is open to everyone, starts at 2pm at City Hall, Charles Street, on Tuesday (21 March).

It’s a chance for local food growers to meet other growing groups, bring along surplus seeds to swap and learn about growing exotic crops.

Between 4 and 5pm, there will also be a discussion on how to support the development of food growing across the city.

Deputy city mayor Cllr Rory Palmer, who leads on health and wellbeing, said: “This is an informal event aimed at giving local food growers the chance to get together and share their knowledge and experience.

“We want to support community gardening across the city and help encourage more people to grow their own food, because we know how beneficial this can be. Community gardening is a sociable activity that is good for both mental and physical wellbeing, and growing your own produce promotes healthy eating habits.”

The event is part of Leicester’s Food Plan, a long-term plan to make the city a place where the production, distribution, purchase and use of affordable food leads to better health, stronger communities and a successful economy – while protecting the environment and conserving natural resources.

As part of the food plan, Get Growing grants are offered to groups who want to start growing their own fruit and vegetables.

Frank Guadagnino named vice president for administration

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Frank T. Guadagnino, associate general counsel at Penn State, has been named the University’s new vice president for administration, effective July 1.

Guadagnino succeeds Tom Poole, who will be assisting with the transition as part of his phased retirement from the University on June 30. In addition to his duties as vice president, Guadagnino will retain his title as associate general counsel.

“Frank is a trusted and respected adviser to many at the University, and he possesses a deep understanding of the institution and its priorities,” said Penn State President Eric J. Barron. “In particular, Frank brings considerable expertise in the area of University governance to his new role, as he is already integrated into both the Board of Trustees and President’s Council. Frank is well regarded for his keen insights, sound judgment, detailed problem-solving abilities and strong organizational skills, all of which will benefit Penn State immensely in the years ahead.”

As vice president, Guadagnino will report directly to Barron and will be responsible for the administration of the Office of the President and the Office of the Board of Trustees. Guadagnino will serve as a senior adviser to the president and assist in the development and administration of policies and programs, while also serving as the principal senior liaison with members of the Board of Trustees, and as the secretary of the board. The role of secretary of the Board of Trustees is an elected position, and Guadagnino will be placed on the slate of officers to be elected at the board’s July meeting.

“This is an exciting opportunity for me,” Guadagnino said. “The experience I’ve gained in my current role will enable me to have a near seamless transition into this new position, and immediately provide support to President Barron and the Board of Trustees in their efforts to carry out the University’s land-grant mission. In addition to taking on these new responsibilities, I am pleased that President Barron and [Vice President and General Counsel] Steve Dunham have agreed that I will maintain a role within the Office of General Counsel in order to continue providing legal advice.”

Guadagnino came to Penn State as associate general counsel in 2014 after a more than 30-year career at Reed Smith LLP in Pittsburgh. While in private practice Guadagnino concentrated on corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, financing transactions and general corporate matters.

“I am grateful to President Barron for this opportunity to continue to serve the University in this senior leadership position,” said Guadagnino. “I also would like to thank Tom Poole for his mentorship and guidance during my time at Penn State, and for his dedicated service to the University. His are big shoes to fill.”

Guadagnino received his bachelor of science degree in marketing from Penn State and his juris doctor degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where he was a symposium editor of the University of Pittsburgh Law Review.

UST urged to take lead in seeking justice for law student’s death

Horacio Tomas Castillo III UST Law student Hazing

The administration of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) should take the lead in seeking justice for the death of its freshman law student allegedly during a fraternity rites last weekend, Senator Win Gatchalian said on Monday.

On Sunday, Horacio Tomas “Atyo” Castillo III, 22, was found dead in Tondo, Manila. A day before he died, Castillo told his parents he would be attending the “welcoming rites” of the Aegis Juris Fraternity, a university-accredited organization.

Police said his body was covered in bruises and candle wax drip marks.

“The fact that the fraternity being implicated in this hazing death is recognized by the university itself as a legitimate student organization means that UST cannot pull the same tricks used by other schools in the past to evade responsibility for the criminal actions of their students,” Gatchalian said in a statement.

“UST has an even greater obligation than ever to uncover the truth of this incident and hold Atyo’s killers accountable for their sick crimes,” he said.

The senator pointed out that this unlike in the past cases of fraternity deaths, Castillo’s death was different since the fraternity involved was accredited by UST.

Gatchalian then called Anti-Hazing Law needed to be overhauled to ensure that persons or groups responsible behind hazing deaths would be held accountable.

His proposed replacement measure, Senate Bill No. 199, would repeal Republic Act no, 8049 or the “Anti-Hazing Law of 1995” to institute a more comprehensive anti-hazing regime by providing a more prohibitive definition of hazing, expanding the scope of liabilities and increasing the penalties for hazing offenders, and mandating educational institutions to play a central role in hazing prevention and awareness.

Gatchalian as a former House lawmaker filed House Bill No. 5760 during the 16th Congress. It was approved by the House on third and final reading but failed to gain Senate approval before the end of the term.

“It’s time for the Senate to take up this proposed legislation,” he said. /je

NEW YORK (April 11, 2017) – A team of Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)/Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) scientists working in Myanmar have reported the successful recovery of 44 fertile eggs of the critically endangered Burmese roofed turtle (Batagur trivittata) – one of the world’s most endangered turtles with less than five females remaining in the wild.

A combination of overharvesting of eggs, incidental loss in fishing gear, and habitat loss due to gold mining had pushed the species to the brink of extinction. But ongoing conservation work offers a glimmer of hope for the imperiled turtle.

For the past 11 years, WCS scientists have monitored nesting sites awaiting females to emerge from the Chindwin River to dig nests on sand bars. This year, three clutches were found. Two of the clutches contained viable eggs.  A third clutch, located in an area far upstream where scientists expect no males exist, contained no viable eggs. Another clutch of four viable eggs was found last December.

All told, 44 viable eggs have been recovered and are now in a protected incubation site where they receive 24 hour monitoring. The eggs are expected to hatch in early June. The hatchlings will be immediately transported to another facility and maintained in large pools for the next four or five years.  Once the turtles are at a size thought safe from predation, they will be released back into the river.

WCS scientists say that the number of viable eggs recovered is an improvement over the past few years. In 2016, only a single viable clutch was found. No viable eggs were produced in 2015; and in 2014, just a single viable egg was deposited.

Young male turtles released into the wild in 2015 are believed to be responsible for inseminating the wild females. Scientists will conduct DNA tests on the hatchlings. If paternity can be traced to the released males, it would mark a major milestone in the conservation of the species, and Asian river turtles in general.  The captive population has grown to over 600 juveniles of all sizes, and conservationists plan to continue to release animals back into the wild.

Said Steven Platt, Regional Herpetologist for WCS’s Myanmar Program: “Every year we hold our breath until the females emerge from the river and lay their eggs. We were delighted to collect so many viable eggs this year, but we still have a long way to go before we have a secure wild population of these turtles in the Chindwin River. Although not yet a true ‘success story’ in the sense that we have recovered the species, had WCS and TSA not intervened when we did, I have no doubt that Batagur trivittata would have already slipped over the edge of the extinction abyss.”

WCS is working with partners to breed additional Burmese roofed turtles at the Yadanabon Zoo. Last year, WCS and zoo staff modified the turtles’ diet to include more protein and constructed an additional sandy nesting area. This spurred the turtles to nest in both nesting area this year. Rather than excavate the clutches and risk damaging the embryos, WCS advised zoo staff to simply leave the eggs in situ to complete incubation. They have constructed small fences around the nesting areas to intercept the hatchlings as they emerge from the nests in June.

Meanwhile, turtles in another breeding facility in Lawkanandar Wildlife Sanctuary are continuing to grow. Scientists expect reproduction to begin within the next year or two.  An additional 98 turtles live at a third assurance colony in Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary. These turtles are doing well and scientists expect breeding within five years.  A forth assurance colony has been established in the Singapore Zoo.

In 2012, WCS announced a strategy that draws on all of the resources and expertise across the institution – from its Zoos and Aquarium, Global Health Program, and Global Conservation Programs – to take direct responsibility for the continued survival of some of the world’s most endangered tortoises and freshwater turtles WCS focuses on two key strategies: reducing the number of adults lost and increasing the number of juvenile turtles entering into the population annually.

WCS’s work to protect Myanmar’s endangered turtles has been supported by the Andrew Sabin Family Foundation, Myanmar Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation, and Turtle Survival Alliance.

E+Co Announces Plans to Scale Up Clean Energy Investments

Friday, February 17, 2012

New Jersey— February 15, 2012 – Bloomfield, N.J. – E+Co, the non-profit leader in clean energy investing in small and medium enterprises in emerging markets, announced today that it will phase out its innovations unit to solely focus on and scale up clean energy investments in developing markets. E+Co invests seed and growth capital to create and expand sustainable renewable energy businesses in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Its investments range in size from approximately US$25,000 to US$1,000,000.

“E+Co has been a clean energy pioneer for more than 15 years”, said Guy Kern-Martin, E+Co Board Chair. “We look back with pride at helping thousands of people gain access to clean, affordable energy. As we look to the future, our singular focus must be on sound investments with promising entrepreneurs in emerging markets.”

In an effort to capitalize on new investment opportunities and further grow its investment operations, E+Co has appointed a new management team to lead its experienced staff. These appointments include Christopher Aidun, Managing Director; Lucy Berkowitz, Finance Director and Dirk Muench, Investment Director. Mr. Aidun, Ms. Berkowitz, and Mr. Muench have more than 60-years of combined experience across the financial markets with particular expertise in investing and restructuring.

E+Co’s new investment management team undertook a review of the organization’s portfolio and financial condition at the direction of the Board of Directors. Following that review, E+Co has begun a restructuring of E+Co’s portfolio and operations with the support of its principal lenders and other constituents. E+Co’s lenders have provided E+Co with continued financial support during the anticipated 60 day planning and repositioning period.

Students explore and explain characteristics of sound through a series of hands-on learning centers and the sensory phenomena of waves produced by a "trashcan wave generator". Students sketch and explain what they discover at each of the centers which serve as the basis for teaching the concepts of amplitude and wavelength, and how waves can cause objects to move.

Performance Expectations

4-PS4-1 Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.

Clarification Statement: Examples of models could include diagrams, analogies, and physical models using wire to illustrate wavelength and amplitude of waves.

Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include interference effects, electromagnetic waves, non-periodic waves, or quantitative models of amplitude and wavelength.

This resource appears to be designed to build towards this performance expectation, though the resource developer has not explicitly stated so.

Comments about Including the Performance Expectation
The "Tuning Fork" and "Rubber Band Guitar" learning centers ask students to record their data by drawing a sketch and explaining what is happening in these centers. This practice of having the students develop a model along with an explanation should be extended to the "First Phone" learning center and the trashcan generator experience. Evidence gathered from their investigations should be included in their explanations. As students will already have an initial understanding of vibrations and waves through an introductory discussion, it is likely that the models will depict the sound traveling in waves. In the tuning fork center and through the trashcan generator experience they will also be able to document that waves can cause objects to move as the tuning fork will cause the water to splash and the trashcan generator will enable them to feel the force of the wave. Differences in pitch experienced in the learning centers provides the opportunity to then introduce wavelength, and how higher pitches have shorter wavelengths and lower pitches have longer ones. Finally, the trashcan generator is a time to introduce the concept of amplitude, which is a measure of the strength or intensity of the wave, and enables the student to feel the force of the wave against their faces.

Science and Engineering Practices

This resource appears to be designed to build towards this science and engineering practice, though the resource developer has not explicitly stated so.

Comments about Including the Science and Engineering Practice
Students are asked to create a sketch along with an explanation to describe the phenomenon of sound that is being observed in two of the four investigations. It is recommended that this Practice be extended to all of the investigations. The inclusion of evidence in their explanation is also encouraged. Engaging students in a culminating project where they are provided a variety of different items (string, rubber bands, plastic cups, straws, index cards, etc.) and asked to CREATE their own model to demonstrate a sound wave is recommended to fully address this practice. An additional idea would be to download a free app such as n-Track Tuner and have students create a model that can hit a certain pitch.

Disciplinary Core Ideas

This resource was not designed to build towards this disciplinary core idea, but can be used to build towards it using the suggestions provided below.

Comments about Including the Disciplinary Core Idea
Through the learning centers students will understand that sound waves are produced by vibrating objects. The faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch of the sound. They will also learn how the properties of the objects, such as length, thickness, and tension will affect the pitch of the sound. Through these experiences, understanding can then be developed as to how amplitude and wavelength factor into these phenomena. The different pitches can be discussed in terms of wavelength and differences in amplitude can be discussed when comparing the water waves created by the tuning fork with the waves created by the trashcan generator. This resource from Bozeman Science is suggested to support their understanding of how differences in amplitude and wavelength affect sound:

Crosscutting Concepts

This resource is explicitly designed to build towards this crosscutting concept.

Comments about Including the Crosscutting Concept
Collectively, the investigative data will reveal that vibrating objects create sound waves, and that the faster the vibrations are, the higher the pitch of the sound is. They will also learn that the properties of the objects affect the pitch produced. For example, shorter objects (i.e., tuning fork, rubber band) will produce sounds with a higher pitch than longer ones. Patterns will also emerge in terms of amplitude and wavelength, with higher pitch sounds having shorter wavelengths, for example. These patterns in the data need to be made explicit during the post-investigation class discussion.

Resource Quality

  • Alignment to the Dimensions of the NGSS: This resource appeared in the January, 2007 edition of Science and Children, well prior to the creation of the Next Generation Science Standards. With the tips provided there is a strong alignment to the dimensions of the NGSS with grade-appropriate elements of the Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts to support students in making sense of phenomena. More specifically, it provides students with the experiential understandings of sound from which to develop more abstract concepts of wave properties. It is recommended the trashcan generator be introduced as an anchoring phenomena, along with the focus question: What is sound and how is sound transmitted? It is also suggested that guiding questions identified in the resource be posed as driving questions for each of the investigations.

  • Instructional Supports: With the introduction of the trashcan generator as the anchoring event, this resource engages students in a meaningful scenario that provides students with a purpose for making sense of phenomena. It builds on students’ prior knowledge. There are multiple opportunities for students to represent their ideas in written form and through model drawing. There are also opportunities for them to express and clarify their understanding through the post-investigation discussion. The resource documents support for English Language Learners (ELL), including having students repeat and rephrase the main ideas to each other in their own words and allowing students to complete their journals in various ways. It is recommended that the teacher revisit the "hook" as students explore and make sense of the phenomenon. The focus question, "What is sound, and how does it travel?" could also be used to drive the investigations. All students may extend their learning by engaging in the following vibrating ruler and straw kazoo activity:

  • Monitoring Student Progress: There are multiple opportunities to assess the students formatively: through observation as they conduct their investigations, through the data recordings in their journals, and through class discussions. The paragraph explaining what they learned about sound at the end of the lesson could be used to provide summative assessment information. Perhaps the focus question posed in conjunction with the recommended anchoring phenomena could be used to drive the constructed response.

  • Quality of Technological Interactivity: This resource does not include a technologically interactive component. To integrate technology, the teacher might integrate the use of a virtual oscilloscope found at
