I haven’t posted here in about two years, but I think I’m going to start again. Solely to ask why Owlcat wrote insane shit like ‘desperate yearning’ and ‘he reaches for you with his soul’ about the Hand of the Inheritor. Iomade that’s NOT your babygirl anymore

Anyway, hope you’re all doing alright

Ag Briseadh An Ciúnas

by Michael Barrett with translations by Tom Malone

Bhíomar ar oileán beag insan fharraige t-Sín Theas, ag baint le baiste ár iníon , Regina. We were on a small island, in the South China Sea, for our daughter Regina’s baptism. Lá mór go deimhin, lá an bhaiste dúinn ar fad, for all of us, sin féin agus na gaolta, do réir an traidisiún.

Rud aisteach, a curious thing – níl aon ainm ar an oilean é féin! Ach tá trí bhaile ann: Oribi – an baile go dtagann mo bhean chéile Maria as, Dammay – áit ina bhfuil scata gaolta aici ann, agus Puro – áit ina bhfuil a thuilleadh gaolta aici. Mar gheall ar sin, we knew that a big crowd would travel by boat, go dtí an séipéal ar an mórthír – to the church on the mainland.

Ar a h-ocht a chlog ar maidin, our flotilla of colourful small boats left Oribi, ag tabhairt aghaidh ar an mórthír. We were heading towards the mainland. Bhí an t-ádh dearg orainn, mar bhí an fharraige ana chiúin an maidin sin. Bhíomar ábalta dul díreach treasna go dtí ár gceann scríbe – to our destination – an baile beag darb ainm Santa. So the journey didn’t take very long. Níor thóg an turas an iomad san ama. Ní minic a tharlaíonn sé chomh fuirist seo!

Ag Séipéal St. Catherine of Alexandria i Santa, bhí daoine bailithe, gaolta agus cairde ón mórthír . San phobal cruinithe bhi cairdeas chríost Regina, seacht duine deag acu! Seventeen godparents! Ins na Philippines is cairdeas chríost slí chun clainn a thabhairt le cheile. Ba duine de chairdeas chríost maor de Bhardas Santa. And the mayor arrived with four bodyguards! Agus gunnaí móra Kalashnikov acu!

Chuir an t-athair Josè Mabutas, an sagart paróiste, fáilte romhain ag an séipéal. Bhí an atmosféar i St. Catherine of Alexandria i Santa, lán de gáire – mar is gnáthach in ócáidí Filipino. Bhí Regina in a lámha ag Maria i rith an seirbhís agus ní bhféidir leis an leanbh í féin a iompar níos fearr. She couldn’t have behaved better – that is go dtí an uair a chaith an t-Athair Mabutas braon den uisce fuar ar a ceann beag! An nóiméad sin, bhí deire leis an gciúnas, because the child suddenly howled in protest – lig Regina Maria Victoria Queral Calano Barrett screach aisti! Agus screach sí arís, is arís eile! Dhein Maria a dícheall í a chur ina tost, ach lean an leanbh ag screacaigh gan stad! Bhain an maor an-ghreann as – the mayor was highly amused, agus dúirt sé “Tá an sacraimint ag obair cheana fein!” Ni amháin an maor, ach gháir an sagart paróiste chomh maith!

LMS Multitenancy Guide — Why You Might Want It, And Best-Of-Breed Solutions

LMS Multitenancy (or is it "Multi Tenancy"?) Guide — Why You Might Want It, And Best-Of-Breed Solutions

On its surface, multitenancy or “multi tenancy” is the ability to manage several instances (ehm, “Tenants”) of a system from a central place. In LMS terms, the multitenancy puzzle has 3 pieces:

One host and between 2 and infinite tenants. Each tenant has their own set of learners, content and unique visual identities.

A shared pool of resources. From pieces of content —think single videos,…

Communication Strategy & Planning Communication isn't just about talking - it is also about being heard. Our experienced team will help you to plan a strategic approach suited to you, which will ensure your message is delivered to the people you want to hear it, consistently, clearly and concisely.

Marketing Communications How do you explain what you do? Too technical and people switch off, too general and you don’t stand out. Let our team weave its magic and help you to craft a message which will engage, excite and inform your clients, staff and the media.

Crisis Management You hope it will never happen, but when a crisis hits you'll be glad you were prepared. In the midst of a business-critical storm you’ll have enough to deal with without planning and implementing a media strategy, which is why you need our experts on your side.

Press Releases, Public & Media Relations Anyone can write, right? Well no, there is a craftsmanship to drafting a statement for the media, which delivers your message with clarity and precision. Then the experience and excellent contacts of our team help to ensure it appears in all the right places.

Social & Digital Media New media, whether it is Google+, Pinterest or your own website, needs new thinking to deliver your message well. Share our extensive online experience as we guide you, train your staff or manage your digital messaging so it works

Copywriting Summing up your services or a new product in catchy copy customers will respond to and promotional material that can’t be ignored takes experience and skill. We can make your message stand out from the crowd.

Media Training How do you speak to the press? Don’t wait until you have a microphone in your face or reporter taking notes before finding out. Our team has more than 30 years’ experience working in the media and will share the secrets of giving a great interview.

Press Conference Management “Like herding cats”…that sums up press conferences pretty well. If you need to speak to the assembled media, we bring order and precision by looking after everything from invites and location hire to equipment provision and media access control.

Media Planning & Buying Our experience and strong market position allow us to secure the very best advertising rates to deliver your media strategy in print and online, plus we’re ideally placed to seek out short notice deals which deliver exceptional value for money and excellent coverage.

Design And creating an eye-catching advertising campaign isn't just about conjuring up a snappy slogan. It's the bigger picture that counts - pulling together your brand, your target markets, knowing where and when to advertise, adapting taglines to suit different elements of your campaign, making sure everything online looks great on desktop and mobile - and this is where our in-house team excels. Since 1986 we've been behind some of the most memorable advertising campaigns and rebrands in the Isle of Man. We work with a truly diverse range of clients, from private banks to hotel groups, from Government departments to retailers, throughout the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey and other international business centres.

Website Development

Whatever you’re looking for, we offer the complete online package, tailoring our services to suit your business. From smaller developments to full scale bespoke websites, ecommerce platforms, content management systems, hosting and archiving services, MANXWEB.GURU can provide a solution to meet your needs and budget. Whether it’s your company’s first website which you want to easily update, an online store or a platform that has to do it all, our experienced team will support you from the earliest planning stage, through the build to day-to-day maintenance. And our in-house design team will make sure your website looks great too. We offer secure and cost effective hosting services, using dedicated servers, equipped to meet the most demanding requirements. Our team is fully accredited by the Isle of Man Government Department of Economic Development to work on projects which fall under the Department’s Business Support Scheme umbrella. We can help you to complete the application, which if successful, could expand your website budget significantly. In short, we are with you every step of the way, from the initial briefing and agreeing the budget, through the design and build stages, to the final delivery of your website – not forgetting full training for those within your organisation who will update the site.

Mobile responsive websites & apps The way we browse online has changed. With more and more people using phones or tablets, we would argue that making all new websites responsive to those devices is essential. Apps also have many advantages over traditional software through increased accessibility, engagement and brand loyalty.

Social Media integration Love it or loathe it, social media has reformed the way we communicate. But which networks really matter and how should they be used? MANXWEB.GURU can create new and tidy-up existing accounts, manage multiple channels and help you find your ‘voice’ to get the most out of your posts. Wondering why you would spend all that time on Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn when you have a perfectly functioning website? The answer lies in integrating your content, so the two work in perfect harmony. MANXWEB.GURU can show you how.

With you every step of the way We like to get to know our clients, to really understand what you are trying to achieve and how we can help you to succeed. We don’t see this as a short term relationship; the MANXWEB.GURU team will be friends for life should you need us. We’ll be here if you need secure hosting and support, website maintenance and updates or advice on how you can get the best out of your content management system.

Advertising Sites We are also the exclusive agents for key advertising sites around the Isle of Man, including the Airport, Sea Terminal, Palace and Broadway Cinemas, Bus Vannin fleet, Isle of Man Steam Packet Company vessels and UK ferry terminals.

Cohort Themes In Moodle 3.5, The Answer To Built-In Multitenancy?

Cohort Themes In #Moodle 3.5, The Answer To Built-In Multitenancy? #MoodleNews #openEdTech #MOODLE35

It’s one of the longest-running requests for administrators of Moodle sites catering to several large bases of learners: How can you keep one Moodle site but customize it to each institutional client? The obvious answer has been there for a while. Multitenancy (or Multi-tenancy, or Multi tenancy) would not only enable distinct sets of users to access the site and share resources, but to do so…
