By: Rob Perez (A Toast) –
It's not often people mention folk and adventure in the same review, but The Rabbitts' Tall Pines & Tangled Vines EP has an adventurist spirit. That's because it's inspired by the folk duo's travels in Canada, which you'll totally get plus terrific vocal performances by The Rabbitts, and it's completely recorded acoustically. It's a nice change of pace from the usual, plugged in music we're inundated with daily.
You'll also get a feeling there was a lot of fun and good times when putting this album together. But there's also clear, expert musicianship on full display here. Sounds from the acoustic guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and percussion really add to the album's message of love.
For the die hard folk fans this album is a must have. Maybe it won't be for everyone, but give it a listen and judge it for yourself. If you feel the same as I did after listening to the album, you'll want to be as sober as possible to really appreciate this gem of an album.

Raspberry is currently perusing the pages of Cecilia's Tale by Debbie Manber Kupfer with art by Victoria Szulc. She's following along as the Cecilia the cat journeys through the streets of Jerusalem in search of a new home and a new human. The question is whether she'll find the right one because she's heard that humans can be very difficult to train.
Especially interesting to Raspberry is that Cecilia's Tale is inspired by the true story from the author of The P.A.W.S. Saga and Esmeralda Grunch and the Red Tulip. She also quite enjoys the homophone in the title, as Raspberry's a sucker for clever wordplay.
Signed copies of Cecilia's Tale are available on Kupfer's website, PAWS4THOUGHT, or you can get the Kindle book, audiobook or unsigned paperback on Amazon.
Debbie Manber Kupfer grew up in the East London suburb of Barking (which Raspberry found ironic considering the protagonist in her book), but today lives in St. Louis, Missouri where she divides her time between writing fiction and writing puzzles. She's the author of the YA fantasy series, P.A.W.S. and the puzzle book, P.A.W.S. 4 Logic. She believes that with enough tea and dark chocolate you can achieve anything.

First introduced in 2004, by tradition, if I have to interpret what CLS stands for it could be Coupe, Long Wheelbase, SuperLeicht or Super Lightweight. In other words, a CLS is an executive coupe or a four-door coupe as referred by local marketers to make it easy for their prospective customers. Not to be confused with a CL-Class, the full sized coupe that is based on S-Class.
Technically known as the C218 which is a backward count of the older C219 makes learning this particular breed a little more confusing but given with a 6.2L AMG M156 V8 engine, I don't think anyone would really care. I shall say this one is a civilized monster in complete tuxedo. Interior and other amenities will truly spoil a passenger with top-of-the-line creature comfort. As usual Mercedes-Benz didn't cut corners in all its safety features that can potentially save the next Queen Of England. It includes a "Pre-Safe" system that which predicts an impending collision. The air suspension has three settings; "Comfort", "Sport 1", "Sport 2", self-cleaning bi-xenon headlight. There's no need to slam the trunk shut as it comes with a push-to-close button that closes gently and firmly.
Formally launched in the Philippines last 14th of July 2011. Fortunately, I was one of the invited guests to witness the unveiling of such a lovely car which again raises the bar of the definition of the word "lovely".
It's truly a simple ceremony for a not-so-simple car graced by the who's who of...alright I don't want to be in a chair of a lifestyle magazine writer, I'll leave this stuff to them.
But with all the pickings and trimmings of the cost-cutting Western World falling in this direction, a CLS 63 AMG for the Philippine market...hell, WHY NOT????
Thanks to Andros Villaraza of CATS for the inviting us to this great event.

I have a 2014 Mercedes C250 and I'm going to do the oil change myself. I just can't get a straight answer off the internet. The car has 39,200 miles. Thanks
0W has factually superior cold weather cranking and pumping performance versus 5W(per the definition of the vis grade). It is the huge difference that the average joe would be able to detect themselves- not likely. It is better to use 5W than 0W.
Owner manual not written for highest performance viscosity ratings that most manufacturers do not make but rather are written for good performance viscosity ratings that are most widely available.
Those of us in the US have a variety of viscosity choices, for example Mobil 1 in both the 0w40 and 5w40 viscosities. Nico3d3 is in Canada, where it seems there are more 0w40 choices and not so many 5w40 choices. They are all pretty good, however. There have been MANY debates here about the differences between M1 0w40 and 5w40, and the advantages of one versus the other. The 0w40 meets the VW 505.00 spec, which is an older and somewhat dated spec. The 5w40 meets the API CI-4, CI-4+, or CJ-4 spec, which is newer and different and not similar to any current VW spec. I will not attempt to rehash any of the arguments made in those threads, except to say that I've used M1 5w40 almost exclusively since the first oil change on my Golf. (The only time I tried something else, it didn't work out very well so I switched back.)

Clinical Stage Immunotherapy Company Expands Its Intellectual Property Portfolio by Exclusive Licensing of Issued Patents
OCEANSIDE, CA--(Marketwired - May 09, 2016) - Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., (
The patent covers vaccines that stimulate the immune system to selectively kill tumor cells that are expressing this universal "cancer specific" protein. In contrast to other vaccines, our vaccine is targeting BORIS protein that is critical for the growth of histologically different cancers. This possesses important implications in that if a cancer cell mutates to lose expression of the target, then the cancer cell will no longer be cancerous.
"The technology licensed positions MolecuVax in an ideal situation given the rapidly expanding interest in cancer immunotherapy clinical trials. The great successes of CAR-T cells and checkpoint inhibitors have already saved many lives and are testimony to the efficacy of this approach to cancer. We aim to utilize the licensed technology to enter clinical trials, in part through our existing collaboration with the Pan Am Cancer Treatment Center5, as well as our planned FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) submission," said Timothy Dixon, President and CEO of Therapeutic Solutions International.
This vaccine was developed at the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California by Michael Agadjanyan, Ph.D. D.Sc., Head of the Cancer Vaccines Laboratory and Anahit Ghochikyan, Ph.D., Head of the Alzheimer's Disease Vaccines Laboratory. The vaccine is important because it not only prevents onset of cancer, but can also be used in patients that have cancer, thus it is termed a "therapeutic vaccine". Additionally, the vaccine can be used as part of dendritic cell immunotherapy, which the inventors previously published as being "extremely effective" against breast cancer in animal models6.
"After working on the concept of selectively killing cancer by immunologically targeting BORIS / CTCFL for over a decade, it is with great excitement to see this work translated from a scientific hypothesis, to issued US and International patents, and now on the road to commercialization and to patients," said Thomas Ichim, Ph.D, Board Member of TSOI. "In the past I was honored to have co-authored publications on BORIS / CTCFL with Dr. Agadjanyan and researchers at the NIH on this technology7,8,9. Now leveraging the infrastructure and expertise of MolecuVax, the time towards its clinical entry is rapidly approaching".
About MolecuVax, Inc.
MolecuVax -- is a subsidiary of TSOI where the intellectual property surrounding immune-oncology is housed. On May 2, 2016 TSOI retired to the treasury of MVAX 62,500,000 common shares of our holdings in MVAX. After this retirement, we now own 37,500,000 common shares of MVAX. On May 3, 2016 MVAX issued 37,500,000 of its common shares to UNIVAX, LLC in conjunction with the licensing agreement announced today. See www.molecuvax.com for more information.

Tennys Sandgren vs. Novak Djokovic
|Date & Time
|Tuesday July 3, 2018, 7:00 AM (EDT)
|The Line
The Line: -- Over/Under:
|TV Channel
Novak Djokovic and Tennys Sandgren meet in the first round of the 2018 tennis Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic is showing signs of returning to the player he once was, as he made the quarterfinals of the French Open and is fresh off making the final of the Queen's Club Championships. Djokovic went several months where he struggled with injuries, form and was giving opponents confidence when most of the time they lost before they even stepped onto the court. Djokovic still hasn't won a title in a year, so I'd chill before saying he's back, but this is easily the best he's looked in quite some time, and he's certainly a threat to win the Wimbledon for the second time in his career. Tennis is a much better sport when Djokovic is playing at his highest level. Djokovic has won four of his last five matches on grass court.
Tennys Sandgren heads into this tournament with a losing record, but he showed in the Australian Open just how dangerous he can be. At almost 27 years old, Sandgren has clearly made this yea this coming out party, which includes wins over Dominic Thiem, Stan Wawrinka and Jeremy Chardy. If Sandgren can get off to a quick start and build some confidence, he has a chance to put serious game pressure on his opponent. Sandgren has two career wins over top-10 players, both coming this season. Sandgren hopes to make it out of the first round of a grand slam for the second time in his career. Sandgren has lost three of his last four matches on grass court.
There's no previous matches between these two players.
Based on how Sandgren looked in Australia, you can't put anything past him here. The kid is capable of spraying a lot of winners and is usually highly effective with his first serve. Djokovic is playing his best in quite some time, but he still has hiccups here and there and can get sloppy with the unforced errors.
Djokovic wins the match, but I can see Sandgren stealing a set.

Glittering 22k gold jewelry, colorful Kanjeevaram sarees & clusters of fragrant flowers give the South Indian bride a stunning, timeless look. Jewelry is one of the most prized possession of every Indian bride that defines her uniqueness. Some brides like to wear heirloom gold jewelry passed down by their mother or grandmother—others prefer to select their own trendy pieces. Whatever the case may be, an Indian wedding can never be complete without 22K gold bridal jewelry.
The south Indian bride looks resplendent in beautiful crafted neck pieces, traditional harams, statement jhumkis, jingling bangles, delicate nose rings, gentle tinkling anklets and traditional bridal ornaments such as arm vanki's and vaddanams.
Let's take a closer look at our Bollywood celebrities in their graceful and traditional South Indian bridal attire.
Here are 10 must-have bridal jewelry items that a south Indian bride will definitely want to wear on her wedding day.
1. Maang Tikka:
Maang Tikka is typically an Indian hair adornment, placed on the bride's hairline with a drop pendant that gracefully sits on the center of her forehead. The maang tikka consists of a chain with a pendant in the front and a hook at the other end. The hook is used for holding the tikka at the hair end, while the pendant embellishes the center of the woman 's forehead. According to Indian culture, the maang tikka gives the bride power, will and wisdom to handle her new journey in life. The maang tikka is also adorned on the bride to protect her from evil eye and any negative energy. But most essentially the maang tikka signifies union between the bride and the groom. (Suggested Read: Maang Tikka: True Meaning & Essence)
We carry a wide selection of maang tikka's including 18K cut diamonds, 22K plain gold, tikka's with studded gems like rubies, uncut diamonds and emeralds. See our exclusive collection here-
2. Vaddanam
A vaddanam is traditionally waist belts made in 22K gold and is tied around the bride's waist to signify bonding with her new family. Studded with precious and semi precious stones, the waist-belt is often carved with images of Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Krishna and Lord Vishnu, to invoke protection and prosperity for the new couple. Vaddanams are traditionally worn during festival days and major family occasions like marriages as a status symbol in south Indian weddings.

At Totaram Jewelers, we offer exclusive collection of Kammarband, Oddiyanam or Vaddanam in latest and traditional designs. Our vaddanams are made in 22K gold with a high degree of brilliance and workmanship. Take a peek at our collection here.
3. Kasu Mala
A south Indian wedding is incomplete without a Kasu mala or haram adorning the bride. Kasu meaning 'coin' and Mala 'necklace' is also known as Kasulaperu. The Kasu Mala is made up of small gold coins which are so closely strung together that they overlap one another. This is a traditional south Indian necklace which is extremely popular and has become a significant bridal choice. The necklace is constructed using gold coins which are embossed with figurines of Hindu gods and goddesses. The Kasu or the coins most often are inscribed with motifs of Lakshmi or Ram parivar. Lakshmi goddess is very popular as she is a representative of beauty, prosperity, good luck and abundance. It is believed that wearing the Lakshmi goddess Kasu Mala on her wedding day will bring prosperity and luck to the new bride and is considered highly auspicious. The Kasu Mala designed with Lakshmi on each and every coin is called as Lakshmi Kasu Mala. (Suggested Read: The Traditional Kasumala Or Kasulaperu)
4. Arm VanKi or Arm Patti
South India's most popular bridal ornament is the arm vanki also known as armlet, arm patti or bajuband. Bridal jewelry is never complete without the vanki adorning the mehendi-clad hands of a south Indian bride. The vintage south Indian style vanki has the same charm today because of its inverted-V- shaped design which has its origin traced to Naga or snake worship. In Indian culture and tradition, snakes are seen as entities of strength and renewal. Arm vanki or Ara vanki is worn around the arm by a new south Indian bride for elegance, and also because it is believed that the armlet has the power to protect it's holder in her new journey. (Suggested Read: Arm Vanki- A Popular South Indian Bridal Jewelry)
5. 22K Gold Jhumkis
The word 'Jhumki' refers to the traditional bell shaped earring design of India. Jhumkis are traditional style drop earrings that continues to attract every generation of south Indian accent. Jhumkis emerged in ancient times and has managed to be a hot favorite of Indian brides and women across the globe. Today, jhumkis come in a variety of styles and designs from plain gold, uncut diamond to earrings studded with precious gems like rubies and emeralds.
6. Mangalsutra
Mangalsutra is an ornament that symbolizes an Indian marriage and is an Indian wedding chain. Mangalsutra or 'mangalsutram' evolved from a Sanskrit term 'mangal' meaning prosperous, blessed, happy, successful and 'sutram' means cord. During the wedding ceremony, the priest typically recites mantras (chants) when the groom ties the mangalsutra around the bride's neck. This act of tying a mangalsutra chain signifies the groom and the bride are united in a new relationship. Mangalsutra is usually a black beaded chain in 22K gold. The gold chain and black beads protects the marriage from any evil eye and is supposed to destroy all negative energy. Married indian women are expected to wear the mangalsutra throughout their lifetime as it is believed to enhance the well-being of their husband and family.
7. Bangles
It is mandatory for newlywed Indian brides to wear bangles made of glass, 22K gold or other metals as they signify the long life of the husband as well as good fortune and prosperity. From being a toddler to an older woman, bangles are an essential accessory of her being. 22K gold bangles are part of traditional Indian jewelry. Bangles are round and rigid in shape, and they are usually worn in pairs by women, one or more on each arm. Bangles have a very traditional value in Hinduism and it is considered inauspicious to be bare armed for a married Indian woman.
8. 22K Gold Jada Choti
Jada billa also known as Choti is a long ornament worn along the length of the braid. It is a popular hair ornament for south Indian brides. This hair jewelry jadai billai is also used in traditional Bharatanatyam & Kuchipudi dances.
9 & 10. Nose Pins & 22K Gold Anklets
Both nose pins and anklets also are essential ornaments adding to the south Indian bride's stunning looks. 22K gold anklets definitely add glamour to a bride's ankles. A pretty and elegant 22K gold anklet with dangling and tingling small bells is a simple and elegant choice for Indian brides. In certain Hindu sects, a nose ring referred as 'Nath' is worn during marriage and is a symbol of a married woman.

Basic tools and unlimited skills for drafting your own sewing patterns from scratch.
Like a lot of folks, I started sewing with store-bought patterns but quickly became frustrated when they were never quite what I was looking for. Like shopping for the perfect purse: you know what you want, if only you could find it! When I realized I could make my own patterns, from my own ideas, from scratch, it was as if a window had opened up and I could see inspiration stretching ahead of me for miles and miles and miles.
In the years that I was designing children's clothing, making patterns was the only way I could find classic looks for kids that I really wanted my own children to wear–and that I felt good about making to sell. There are plenty more options out there today when it comes to choosing sewing patterns, but I know with absolute certainty that each of us is bursting with ideas for "I wish they'd make a…" and "I used to have a ______, but can't find one for my kids" and "If I could just find a…." patterns. Folks, we're just going to have to be the ones to take the dog by the ears, as the Romans used to say, and make these magical patterns ourselves! The best part? You can totally do this.
Pattern drafting for making flat patterns, paper patterns like you purchase from a store, is based on simple ideas and simple math (like, addition–and you're totally allowed to use your calculators, Sports Fans!). Once you've mastered these principles, the entire world is your oyster, and you'll be set on a path to making all your sewing dreams come true! If you've worked with patterns before, and have basic sewing skills down, you can absolutely learn to draft your own patterns. And I'd really like to show you how!
All content will be available forever once the course is complete, so you'll be free to review, rewind, and reinforce each lesson as much as you like, for as long as you like!
Over the series of lessons we'll spend together, you'll use basic math and simple tools to design the following classic styles:
- A-line skirt using a unique drafting technique
- button-front A-line skirt with waistband
- the perfect pencil skirt
- knit tee shirt with multiple sleeve variations
- raglan tee shirt
- simple strappy sundress
- woven top with notched neckline
- rub-off tee shirt

Ideas To Improve College Science Teaching And Learning
Thanks to the advancements brought about by modern science and technology, we are living in the future! From smartphones to high end medical gadgets to space exploration to robotics, the entire world is witnessing a revolution of scientific breakthroughs. In this ethos of constant and ground-breaking developments, it's imperative that we work extra hard to improve the education system to make science more palatable for our next generation.
Introducing interactive classroom teaching
When it comes it science it's time that we realize science simply cannot be taught out of just a textbook! It is a vibrant and exciting subject which needs much more than monotonous lectures and exams. This is where modern technology can come to rescue. With the help of various interactive and engaging e-learning tools classroom sessions can be made way more interesting and exciting for both students and teachers. With the integration of technology lessons can be imparted more effectively. Moreover, it is not possible to demonstrate various concepts and experiments owing to the lack of equipment or practicality which can be viewed using technology, thus, giving the students a real feel of the subject.
Practical along with theoretical lessons
Those theory classes can get incredibly boring. Poring over a textbook trying to understand complex circuits or carbon structures can make science seem like an excruciatingly difficult subject. Therefore, it is important to lay adequate stress on practical classes and laboratory sessions which improve the learning experience of students. Be it a simple identification of the structures of a leaf to complex chemical reactions to the construction of a simple motor, everything can be learned in a more effective manner if the students are given the opportunity to experience and experiment with these concepts first hand.
Science camps
Schools should organise science camps and fairs which demonstrate exciting experiments and projects in order to make science fun and approachable for kids. Science is often viewed as something quite difficult, serious and definitely not easy. It is important to break these stereotypes to get more and more young boys and girls interested to study, love and actively participate in science. We need to get this generation of children excited about science the way scientists like Bill Nye did in their times. It is important to encourage the pursuit of science outside the curriculum so that students can explore and appreciate the magic of science.
Encouragement to pursue beyond syllabus
What is often lacking from our academic system is that students are so bound to exams and grades their curiosity is often curbed. If a student walks up to their science teacher and wants to talk about anything outside the syllabus be it the clamp on flow meter or advanced Nano technology, it is important that teachers should try to encourage the quest for knowledge in every way possible! If the teachers are not qualified enough to give adequate support on that particular topic, they can refer the student to someone or some material which can satiate their curiosity, which can be of immense help in the advancement of science.
Science is the step stool to a more advanced future. With each moment we see better and more revolutionary scientific researches and revolutionary developments in technology which are committed to making the quality of life better. This makes it important that we work on our education system in order to get younger minds to explore and understand science better. This will help us raise a generation of relentless and challenging scientific minds.

Cybersecurity #experts #agree — expect more #ransomware this #year
Ransomware is one of the easiest cyberattacks to detect because it comes with an actual ransom note. However, 2017 gave way to new propagation mechanisms, which automated worming and increased infection rates.
Employee-facing services and technologies are a top concern to cybersecurity professionals. About 40% of employees use personal devices to send work emails and share or access company data without the IT department's oversight.
The bring your own device policy is challenging for IT departments to combat. Ultimately, the policy leads to unintended shadow IT, which is often the Achilles heel of solid security practices.
Negligent employee actions can cost a company about $280,000 per incident. If the cost were not enough, companies need to come to terms with the fact that 64% of security breaches are caused by ignorant employee actions.
To help companies better track the most high-risk employees, in terms of their cybersecurity incompetencies, vendors like Microsoft are including simulated ransomware or phishing attacks in their services.
Hackers will always take advantage of human error and poor judgment, so it's up to security teams to educate line of business employees.

9 in 10 #Canadian Companies suffered at least one #cyber security #breach last #year
Source: National Cyber Security News
Canadian companies face almost constant cyber security threats, resulting in a rising number of incidents where sensitive data is stolen, according to the findings of a new study from Scalar Decisions Inc. of more than 420 Canadian IT and security workers.
Released today, the 2018 Scalar Security Study (commissioned by Scalar and conducted independently by IDC Canada) showed that Canadian organizations are attacked in varying degrees of severity more than 450 times per year, with 87% suffering at least one successful breach. Almost half (46%) are not confident in their ability to defend against attacks.
"As cyber security breaches become the new normal, organizations can't be complacent. Many companies are still reporting gaps in their defences despite hiring full-time security staff, which may point to a deficit in the availability of highly skilled IT workers," said Theo Van Wyk, Chief Security Architect, Scalar Decisions. "The rising number of high-impact breaches coincides with the increasing costs of recovery."
The study, examining the cyber security readiness of Canadian organizations and year-over-year trends in handling and managing growing cyber threats, also found:
- Of the companies that suffered a security breach, 47% had sensitive data stolen.

#New Year and New #Measures for #Cybersecurity
Source: National Cyber Security – Produced By Gregory Evans
Time for resolution as the New Year approaches, whether we plan for fitness to lose weight or spend quality time with friends and family. Nevertheless, one in ten people manage to stick on to their plan, similarly, one in seven people think about cybersecurity as a priority.
CISOs as it comes into existence to enhance the protection of an enterprise network, system and data devices. As a cybersecurity professional, you will have an easier way to accomplish these goals
1. Cleansing
Periodic cleansing is a better option rather than keeping it scheduled for your monthly chore. This way you can have an easy way to cleanse it because there will be fewer data during the vacation time. Look for new servers, devices, and apps which were introduced recently. Clean up any potential messes that have accumulated during this course.
2. Promote best practices
We have seen how employees from different professions miss keeping their devices protected due to their being ignorant of the risk of cybersecurity. We have also seen how the major problem of hacking happens due to the ignorant handling of systems. These cases have only helped companies to keep their focus on operating procedures and develop their employees to be tech savvy in the coming year. This way they will know the importance of cybersecurity and start promoting the practices. Educate them on how not to click on unknown links that come in their email inbox, and look for URLs before they actually start doing business on that. There is nothing like rocket science here, but only a few tips on how to keep yourself safe and sound.
3. Sophisticated password management
Looking at the kind of attacks in the recent times, just a password will not make any difference. Users need to come up with more sophisticated password management. Most companies that practice BYOD need to be extra cautious when their employees switch from home to the office network. Strong password in an encrypted database and accessing them through a master key should be the priority.
4. Patch Routers
Keep your routers and systems updated with all the patches in places. This also refers to the IoT systems which are under constant attack. The Internet of thing is vulnerable to such high volume attack. The user needs to be groomed on the way they need to take care of the facilities, and organizations should educate them on the different ways to keep the security under check. Strive to raise awareness and best practices among employees.
Let accept it, the odds are against us and if we try to transform the way we deal with our cybersecurity a lot of things will change. This is not an easy transition and that's why many of them are not able to stick to their resolution. The above simple steps will go a long way to keep the attacks under check. There will be no better way to start the New Year on a positive note that is to keep it safe and secure.

Identity #theft alert: How 77,0000 Canadians lost $99 million last year in #extortion, #phishing and #romance scams
Source: National Cyber Security – Produced By Gregory Evans
Randy Chester was visiting one of his usual second-hand haunts this summer, a Value Village in Toronto's east end, when he spied a beautiful shirt and vest for $20. Excited about his new finds, he tapped his debit card, only to be shocked by the resulting message: Insufficient funds.
"I was upset because I knew I had money," he recalls. He tried the card again at a variety store, a restaurant and then at an ATM belonging to his bank, CIBC, and got the same message. When he called the bank to see what was going on, they asked him if he had been shopping at Yorkdale Mall in the city's north end. There was a $1,500 purchase debited from his account, but Chester, a cancer patient on disability who uses a walker, had been at a medical appointment at the Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital that day.
"It's like, hello!" he jokes. "Value Village, yes. Yorkdale Mall, no. I couldn't get there with my walker."
Then he remembered that a young man had called him on his flip-phone a few days before, claiming to be from CIBC and saying there was a problem with his debit card. Chester knew better than to talk to anyone about his banking information and hung up. The next day, he got a text message, purportedly from CIBC, that had the last four digits of his debit card number in it, and asked him to text back "Y" for yes if it was his account. He assumed because they had his number already, it was legitimate. He hit Y and send.
"The bank told me they would never send a text message," says Chester, 61. "I didn't know that."
Once he reported the problem, the bank locked down his account, reversed the charges, and gave him a new bank card. But it's impossible to tell how the scammers got his bank information, which is often the case when it comes to identity theft, says Jessica Gunson, the acting call centre and intake unit manager at the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre in Thunder Bay, Ont.
"It certainly sounds like a variation on phishing," she says, but notes that it's unusual because the thief already had Chester's bank information when he or she sent the text.
"We do know thieves have been known to dumpster dive, and it underlines the importance of having a paper shredder in the home and in the office. We need to treat our personal information like cash." For that reason, experts advise leaving your Social Insurance Number card and birth certificate in a safe place at home, since thieves can do a lot of damage with your name, birth date and SIN.
The Canadian Anti-fraud Centre, jointly managed by the Ontario Provincial Police, the RCMP, the federal Competition Bureau, manages the central database for fraud complaints. Investigators across the country rely on its vast stores of data to compare notes on mass-marketing fraud and online scams. In 2016, it logged more than 77,000 complaints that resulted in losses of more than $99-million, with the top scams by complaint involving extortion, phishing, and fake computer-service companies. The frauds that resulted in the most money lost were romance scams, at more than $20-million.
Though Gunson could not begin to guess how criminals got Chester's information, she said it is important never to leave a paper receipt of a transaction in or near the banking machine, and to use online banking to check balances, rather than printing them out at ATMs.
"When it comes to identity theft and identity fraud, the difficulty is in pinpointing the source. Unless (investigators) find a boiler room where people are mass producing ID, it is difficult to determine on an individual basis where it is coming from."
The good news is most cases of identity theft and identity fraud result in little financial loss to the victims, but Gunson says it takes time and effort to untangle the mess.
In Montreal, actor Paul Burke figures someone used a surveillance camera or fake keypad or card reader to obtain his PIN, which they used to empty his account of $700 in the summer of 2010. He called the bank, which contacted the RCMP. And then he waited.
" I called them back after a week and I said, 'I have zero money. I need my money back," says Burke, 48.
Within a day or two of that call he had the money in his account, but to this day he has no clue what happened.
"It was so bizarre. I consider it a one-off, but obviously I should be more careful."

54% of #security #experts anticipate a successful #cyberattack on their #enterprise within the year
Source: National Cyber Security – Produced By Gregory Evans
A successful cyberattack on your enterprise may be imminent, and security experts say many companies aren't doing enough to protect themselves. Increasingly, risks are coming from within.
Ask a cybersecurity expert or hacker to name the weakest link in any security plan and they will inevitably answer "the people." Just like everything else, security can't account for the unpredictability of the human factor. In an enterprise setting, employees will circumvent protocols for the sake of convenience, offer bits of information to strangers because they asked nicely, and generally make a mess of any well-laid enterprise-wide cybersecurity plan.
According to the Cybersecurity Trends 2017 Spotlight Report (PDF), 54% of cybersecurity professionals surveyed anticipate a successful cyberattack on their organization in the next 12 months. Some 40% of those professionals also view the lack of employee awareness as a major obstacle to stronger cybersecurity.
With increases in mobility and the adoption of a BYOD culture in the enterprise, 69% of the surveyed cybersecurity professionals are increasingly concerned about data leakage. Another 64% believe their organizations will have to deal with the download of unsafe applications and the introduction of malware stemming from portable storage devices and the like in the next year.
While workforce mobility and the culture of BYOD certainly produce tremendous benefits for modern enterprises, the technology presents a challenging risk for cybersecurity professionals. The only viable approach to overcoming, or at least mitigating, the human factor is to educate employees and establish a comprehensive policy to govern how personal devices, especially portable storage devices, will be introduced to an enterprise network.
TechRepublic's premium sister site, Tech Pro Research, offers a ready-made Portable Storage Device Policy to help you regulate and secure usage of portable storage devices to help reduce the risks.

Ransomware Sales on the Dark Web Surged by 2,502 Percent in the Past Year
Source: National Cyber Security – Produced By Gregory Evans
The past year saw a 2,502 percent increase in sales of ransomware on the dark Web, from just under $250,000 to more than $6.2 million, according to a recent Carbon Black report.
"This increase is largely due to a simple economic principle — supply and demand," the report states. "Cyber criminals are increasingly seeing opportunities to enter the market and looking to make a quick buck via one of the many ransomware offerings available via illicit economies."
There are now more than 6,300 dark Web marketplaces selling ransomware, with 45,000 product listings priced from $0.50 to $3,000, and a median price of $10.50.
"Based on our research, ransomware can no longer be perceived as petty criminals performing stick-ups and kidnappings," Carbon Black security strategist Rick McElroy said in a statement. "Instead, ransomware has become a rapidly growing, cloud-based black market economy focused on destruction and profit."
"Today, legitimate enterprises avoid heavy investments in infrastruture — and hackers are no different," McElroy added. "In fact, with ransomware, hackers have set a model for a cloud-based, high-profit and effective turnkey service economy."
A Growing Threat
A recent Crowd Research Partners survey of 516 cyber security professionals, commissioned by Cybersecurity Insiders, found that while 80 percent of respondents view ransomware a moderate or extreme threat, only a small fraction say they would pay the ransom or negotiate with attackers.
The most common ransomware infection vectors, the survey found, are from employees opening malicious email attachments (73 percent), responding to a phishing email (54 percent), or visiting a compromised website (28 percent).
The most effective way of blocking ransomware, respondents said, is user awareness (77 percent), followed by endpoint security solutions (73 percent) and patching operating systems (72 percent).
Fifty-one percent of respondents are only slightly to moderately confident of their organization's ransomware defenses, and 39 percent say it would take as long as a few weeks to recover from an attack.
"In many respects, ransomware is a game changer," Cybersecurity Insiders founder and CEO Holger Schulze said in a statement. "It is incredibly easy and inexpensive for cyber criminals to execute highly profitable attacks on a global scale."
No Defenses
A separate Magnet Networks survey of 205 companies in Ireland found that fully 48 percent of respondents have no cyber security policy in place. Another 27 percent either said they're completely unsecure or their security needs tightening.
"We found that only 13 percent of respondents think that their business is very secure — and in the absolute world of cyber attacks you are either totally secure or you are vulnerable in some way," Magnet Networks cyber security expert James Canty said in a statement.
In 72 percent of companies with under 10 employees, network security is handled either by the business owner, the office manager, or in 9 percent of cases, no one at all.
That means that as many as 171,000 Irish businesses, Canty said, "have no one qualified looking after their network security and may not be protected against a ransomware and cybercrime industry which is growing at a rapid rate."

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has increased the prices of some petroleum products with premix fuel recording the highest increment.
This the Authority said is in line with the government of Ghana's policy directive to achieve full pass-through petroleum product prices.
Premix fuel which was selling at 66.82 GHp/lt increased by 19.94% as the pump price goes up to 80.14 GHp/lt.
A statement issued by the NPA and signed by its Chief Executive, Alex Mould said the review of the maximum indicative prices of petroleum products takes effect from Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 6:00 am.
The Authority explained that since the last adjustment of the pump prices of petroleum products on July 17, 2013, prices of petroleum products have experienced volatility on the international market.
It said the Price of Brent (DTD) crude oil has been increased from USD105.87/bbl to USD109.08/bbl, representing a 3.04% increase.
However, the prices of Petrol (premium) and Diesel (gas oil) remained unchanged "although international prices have gone up 5.6% to 2.1% respectively," the NPA said. The price of Unified was also not affected.
But Kerosene which was sold at 115.03 GHp/lt will now sell at 124.79 GHp/lt indicating an 8.41% increase.
MGO Local will now sell at 196.85 a jump of 11.85% from 176.00.
RFO has also gone up from 100.58 to 104.70. LPG recorded a difference of 3.39%; the current price will be 219.55kg from 212.35kg.
The next review date will be on August 16, 2013.

A man has been dubbed the "most hopeless robber" in New Zealand after he was filmed clumsily botching an attempted armed hold-up of a convenience store.
Security video shows the would-be thief running up to the counter of the Woolston Discounter store in Christchurch on Sunday evening, Newshub reports.
The man was armed with a gun and had wrapped what appeared to be a jumper around his face as a disguise.
Staff member Laximi Gurappa told Newshub he was behind the counter when the man ran in, but quickly fled in fear.
"I was scared and I just ran away (out the back entrance)," Mr Gurappa said.
Left to his own devices, the intruder attempted to reach over and open the till but failed. He then started grabbing at boxes of cigarette filters, gum and lollies on the counter before dropping most of the items.
Things got worse for the would-be robber when he tripped on his way out of the store, dropping the rest of the loot.
Undeterred he rushed back to the counter and grabbed a few more items before fleeing the store.

How to deal with the mattress or bed bugs?
We all heard about the mattress bugs and we also know how dangerous they are for human being. People usually said that they clean their memory foam mattress regularly but still they have to face the bugs in their mattress. So the answer is the bed bugs can come in your mattress from many ways like with dirt particles, your clothes, wind, from your pet's skin etc. If you don't remove these bed bugs from your mattress then they will became a huge problem for you.
Why they are big problem for sleepers?
Bed bugs are considered as very huge problem for human being. The reason is they live on human blood. Whenever you sleep on your mattress the bugs will start biting you, they are actually drinking your blood because it's their food. As much as they have blood they will became bigger in size and also give birth to more bugs. Usually people ignore the biting at the bed time. So that they will face so many problems in future. The bed bug also injects his poison or saliva into the human body which can lead them to sickness as well as death. So if something is biting you during sleeping then please check your mattress.
How to deal with the bugs?
To deal with the mattress bugs is very important for human being. If you are suffering from the mattress bugs then first of all you should remove all the protective covers of mattress and should wash in boiling water to make it clean. Then clean the mattress with the mattress vacuum cleaner carefully. Pay attention to every corner and every side of the mattress. Clean the vacuum cleaner and then again clean mattress with the vacuum cleaner. Repeat the process at least three to four times. Then clean the bed frame as well as pillows with the same process. After cleaning when you get satisfied put the protective covers back. If possible buy high quality protective covers which prevent the bugs to bite you. It is very important to take precautions, so clean your house carefully as well as regularly to avoid the bugs to enter in your bed.

Trevor Sherman – The Leadership Coach
An ideas exchange about what makes leadership at all levels in an organisation really work.
To Our Subscribers and Visitors
From The Leadership Coach Blog Team & Authors
I work at a world leading drama school and as you would expect, it's an institution full of stories. Which is lucky, as for some time now, storytelling has been at the forefront of countless organisations' learning needs.
My first challenge took me to a realization that marked a huge difference for me as a Leadership Coach.
It is the day of the 10th anniversary of the WOW! Awards gala at the Tower of London. I thought it would salve my anger to write about the train "service" my local train operating company, Greater Anglia, "provides". As a corporate entity it has about as much chance of winning an award as a chocolate remaining in a solid state in a furnace.
Today also saw the annual announcement of the increase in rail fares, 3.1% in January 2019.

Ebola derails Nigerian firm

Famous Brands hatches ambitious Africa plans
Famous Brands, the owner of brands such as Debonairs and Steers, has ambitious expansion plans for oil-rich African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and Angola.
The Economist Intelligence Unit predicts that by 2030, Africa's top 18 cities could have a combined spending power of $1.3-trillion. With a R10.9bn market capitalisation, Famous Brands is the big daddy of SA franchising and wants to replicate its local success in the rest of Africa. The company aims to have 400 restaurants outside SA by 2016.
To take advantage of growing demand for fast food in the Nigeria, the deal with Lagos-based UAC Restaurants, which owns Mr Bigg's, was signed in September last year. Mr Bigg's is the largest homegrown African food franchise brand north of SA.

Nigeria's cheap banking assets attract interest
Lenders from London to Qatar are hunting for African banks to buy. No market is attracting more interest than Nigeria, where 35 million adults keep their cash at home. There are still massive opportunities when it comes to consumers, because lots of Nigerian banks haven't even cracked the ice yet.
Nigeria, boasting the continent's largest population at about 170 million, has drawn investment from Bob Diamond's Atlas Mara Co-Nvest and Qatar National Bank as economic growth in the West African country outstrips that of nations in eastern and southern Africa. Even so, valuations on banking assets are some of the cheapest on the continent as regulators force banks to reduce fees and increase capital.

Zambia's acting leader reverses decision to fire ruling party chief
Zambian Acting President Guy Scott backed down yesterday after his attempt to sack the ruling party chief sparked riots and a rejection of his authority as a white leader in Africa. Mr Scott reversed his decision on Monday to sack Patriotic Front (PF) secretary-general Edgar Lungu —just days after the death of president Michael Sata.
Mr Lungu, who is at the centre of a succession battle after Sata's death, had accused Mr Scott of insulting Zambian culture while the country was mourning the president and declared his sacking illegal and provocative. Mr Scott, Africa's first white head of state since apartheid, was previously the vice-president and is due to guide the copper-rich southern African nation to elections within 90 days.
Mr Lungu would remain in place at least until after Sata's burial on November ll and "the central committee of the PF will then be convened", Mr Scott said on state radio.

More people want to eat less meat
It is better for your health, for animal welfare and way better for the planet we share.
The trouble is that most people are far too busy. Too busy with work and study and even too busy in their spare time, far too busy to grow their own vegetables and some days even too busy to cook at home.
That's why we are helping everyone to become a Lazy Vegan. Even if it's only once a week.
Give yourself (and the planet) a break
At Lazy Vegan, we have developed frozen convenience ready-meals, packed with fresh vegetables and our unique tasty Chunky Pulled Peaz. These are protein-packed pieces made from the protein and fibre of fresh garden peas with a great taste and texture to boot.
They are simple to make, you just add the meals to a frying pan and cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes max and enjoy your meal. Alternatively, the products can also be microwaved.
This leaves you all the time in the world to do what you love most.
Our tasty Chunky Pulled Peaz are also available as stand-alone products to easily add protein to make any meal a complete nutritious vegan meal.
Today you can be a Lazy Vegan
Lazy Vegans are kind, they don't harm animals, the planet or their own health. Lazy Vegans are chill, they make dinner in less than ten minutes and have time for the fun stuff. Lazy Vegans are foodies, they enjoy great taste. In short, Lazy Vegans are pretty fun people to hang around with and now you can easily become one too.

SugarCRM - QuickBooks Integration Enterprise

Keep records in sync between SugarCRM and QuickBooks.
Keep records in sync between SugarCRM and QuickBooks.
SugarCRM is the fastest growing CRM software package in the world. QuickBooks is the most popular accounting and ERP software package in the world. It only makes sense to integrate the software so that companies can use both packages together without missing out on integration critical to streamlining operations and minimizing double work.
The FBSG SugarCRM –QuickBooks Integration Application addresses this. It allows the two software packages to "talk with each other" by synchronizing customers, inventory items, non-inventory items, and service items, invoice and sales receipt history, and sales orders/estimates between SugarCRM and QuickBooks. The synchronization between the packages is set to run on a scheduler, typically every 10 minutes.
Key Benefits
Purchase information:
This software is currently compatible with:
The software is also compatible with SugarCRM Community Edition, although CE lacks modules for the product catalog and quotes which minimizes the points of integration between QuickBooks and SugarCRM.
This software is compatible with SugarCRM On Demand, or SugarCRM hosted on-site with a MySQL database. This integration software has been optimized for MySQL; SugarCRM hosted with MS SQL is not supported at this time.

A Birmingham woman had decided to dye her hair with a bottle of Clairol Nice 'n' Easy hair colourant and carried out a skin sensitivity test prior to applying the product. The following day her head started itching, burning, weeping and became extremely swollen. After attending hospital she was diagnosed with allergic contact dermatitis.
The claim was brought against Proctor and Gamble who agreed to offer her an out-of-court settlement of £4,500, and was settled by Tania Bains, of Irwin Mitchell's Fast Track Team at the Birmingham office.
Miss Bains said: "The use of PPD in hair dye products is widely discussed, with recent press featuring cases of individuals suffering injuries following the application of such products. Worryingly two thirds of hair dye kits contain para-phenylenediamine or PPD, a substance banned throughout Europe but readily available within the UK.
"My client was the victim of painful injuries for which we were able to secure compensation. We were also able to obtain expert medical advice, from which our client was advised to avoid the use of any products containing PPD. We care passionately about the issues facing our clients, and fully support the recently launched internet campaign calling for the banning of PPD from dyes."

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, USCIS, altered its mission statement on Thursday by taking out a reference to USA as a "nation of immigrants". Jonathan Withington, USCIS Chief of Media Relations, said the new mission statement is "effective immediately."
The new mission statement reads: "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation's lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values."
The previous mission statement read: "USCIS secures America's promise as a nation of immigrants by providing accurate and useful information to our customers, granting immigration and citizenship benefits, promoting an awareness and understanding of citizenship, and ensuring the integrity of our immigration system."
The agency said the new mission statement focuses on the priorities of "fairness, lawfulness and efficiency."
USCIS Director L. Francis Cissna defended the changes in an email to staff on Thursday:
"In particular, referring to applicants and petitioners for immigration benefits, and the beneficiaries of such applications and petitions, as 'customers' promotes an institutional culture that emphasizes the ultimate satisfaction of applicants and petitioners, rather than the correct adjudication of such applications and petitions according to the law," he wrote.
"The statement speaks for itself and clearly defines the agency's role in our country's lawful immigration system and commitment we have to the American people," he added.
USCIS is the administrative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, which includes appellate review. It is the lead U.S. agency tasked with granting citizenship to would-be Americans.
Sen. Patrick Leahy Verified account @SenatorLeahy: "The President can erase "nation of immigrants" from the #USCIS mission statement, but he cannot erase our nation's legacy or our shared #American values. Thankfully, both will long outlast Pres. #Trump."
