Her spiritedShannonbridge side lost their quarter final match to Crystal Swings Derek Burke and Castleisland Desmonds, unfort.

But still. A for effort.

She is an absolute vision of youth.

We demand to know Nuala is purchasing the illusive elixir shes inevitably drinking to maintain that complexion and slow down the cruel hands of time.

Maybe shes succeeded in stopping time altogether. As far as Irish conspiracy theories go, this is one Im fully on board with.

One Wikipedia user, having noticed Nuala was excluded from the list of contestants on RTs reality TV extravaganza Cabin Fever, amended the list accordingly.

So, how old was Nuala Carey when she took part in the show?

Also, seemingly, Nualas place of origin is simply the atmosphere.

Remarkable.

How naive of me to thinkthiscould be achieved through a good SPF and two litres of water a day.

Anne Marie Morris Wikipedia entry changed to call her a ‘politician and a racist’ – Devon Live

Anne Marie Morris' page on Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, was temporarily changed to describe her as a 'British Conservative party politician and a racist'.

The Wikipedia entry was later amended to describe the political storm which hit the Newton Abbot MP after she was recorded using the racially offesive term 'n****r in the woodpile' during a debate on Brexit with eurosceptics. But for a short time when anybody searched for her details online, this is how she was listed on Wikipedia and the image was copied and circulated on Twitter.

It was later amended to read: "Anne Marie Morris (born 5 July 1957, London) is a British politician who was elected at the 2010 general election as the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Newton Abbot.

"In July 2017, Morris had the Conservative whip suspended following the emergence of a recording of her using the racist idiom "nigger in the woodpile". " Listen below to the original recording.

Wikipedia takes down edit option for ‘Calibri’ wiki after Pakistanis try changing font’s release date – Pakistan Today

Online Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, has given protected status to the its entry on the Microsoft office default font after a significant number of people in quick succession attempted to edit the date of its release to the public.

The online resource websites decision to give the seemingly harmless fonts page protected status comes after it has become a source of a major headache for the PML-N. The political party managed to get itself deeper entangled in the Panama leaks case when the cases investigative teams report said that documents dated 2006 were typed in the Calibri font which was not introduced until February 2007.

The immediate response of the PML-N supporters seems to have been to go online and edit the fonts Wikipedia page to somehow salvage some semblance of proof or backing. The changes were however met with even more changes coming from others that reverted the dates back to what they really were and at times even way before that.

The farce was soon handled by Wikipedia however as the increased activity turned their attention towards the topic and they quickly disabled the edit option on the page. While it has not been given permanent protected status given its nature, it has been protected from any editing until July 18.

KARACHI: A Wikipedia page containing information about Calibri font was locked for editing on Tuesday after several users tried to change the release date of the font from 2007 to 2003.

The Joint Investigation Report (JIT) had earlier claimed that the font used on some of the documents submitted by the Sharif family was Calibri. The documents related to 2006. However, the font was only made commercially available January 30, 2007. After the report was made public, Calibri font became a top trend on twitter.

GoldenDict: dictionary with Wikipedia integration – Ghacks Technology News

GoldenDict is a free cross-platform dictionary program with Wikipedia integration and support for global hotkeys to power its functionality.

Jack mentioned the dictionary back in 2010 in his Linux Dictionary Tools overview, but I never reviewed the application for Windows.

While word definitions are just a click away in web browsers, as there are plenty of online services that provide you with information, you may sometimes prefer to use a desktop program.

Desktop programs may support the loading of local dictionary files, editing dictionaries, adding words to the favorites, and a lot more that online services don't offer usually.

Tip: we have reviewed other dictionary programs in the past: Spelr, Lingoes, or The Sage.

GoldenDict is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X desktop systems. There is also an Android application, but it is commercial.

Windows users can download a portable version of the dictionary, or a setup version. The developers plan to release version 1.50 of the program soon, and this review is based on the second release candidate of that build. The current stable version is 1.01, released in 2010.

Once you start GoldenDict, you can start using it right away. Enter any word in the search field in the top toolbar to have it looked up on Wikipedia directly.

The program supports only Wikipedia by default, but you can change that easily in the program settings. Click on Edit > Dictionaries, or hit the F3 key, to open the dictionary management interface.

You can check additional Wikipedia, Websites and Morphology sources right away, as GoldenDict ships with sources built-in the program. It is for instance possible to add Wiktionary or language-specific Wikipedia sources to the program.

The websites listing lists five services including the Urban Dictionary, Google En-En, and Multitran.

Each source you add is queried whenever you run searches in GoldenDict. These are displayed on the right, and you may switch to them easily then.

One of the strengths of GoldenDict is the program's support for custom sources. You can add new Wikipedia or Wiktionary sources for instance, or new websites. All websites work that accept parameters when you run queries.

Apart from that, you may also add local dictionary files (Babylon .BGL, StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn, dictd .index/.dict(.dz), ABBYY Lingvo .dsl formats supported), DICT servers or external programs. GoldenDict supports sound directories, transliteration, and text to speech on top of that.

Once you have added a second dictionary you may change the sort order of them as well. This is useful, as you may move another dictionary to position one so that its results will be displayed by default.

Another option that you have there is to create dictionary groups. You may switch between groups, so that only the dictionaries of the selected group are used by the program. This can be handy if you work with multiple languages, or use the program for different kinds of research.

GoldenDict supports global hotkeys which work even if the program is minimized on the machine. You can use Ctrl-C-C to translate a word from clipboard (look it up in the program). Another option that you have is to enable the program's scan popup mode.

It is designed to pick up words that you hover the mouse over automatically. This did not work on the Windows 10 PC that I tested the program on, and I tried it in Firefox, Chrome, LibreOffice and other programs that would benefit from such an integration.

The feature supports key modifiers, and it is suggested to enable those (if it works on your system). Basically, what this does is activate the functionality only when you press the keys on the keyboard.

Other features of interest include options to enable auto-pronunciation of words, and web browsing support. The latter allows you to click on links in the program interface to open the linked pages.

GoldenDict is a powerful dictionary program for the desktop. It ships with a solid selection of dictionaries and may be extended with local and Internet-based dictionaries and services.
