Some Cramps/Surfaris action: Longboards, punk rock and monster movies. Thee Cormans' new album, Halloween Record w/ Sound Effects, was released this week through In The Red. Listen to "Open The Gates" and then absorb some info which comes from Force Field PR.
Thee Cormans - "Open The Gates" by forcefieldpr
Just in time for Halloween, Thee Cormans release new LP on In The Red Records
MP3: "Open The Gates" -
Fiends! Ghouls! Creeps! In the grand tradition of Frankie Stein & his Ghouls and The Deadly Ones, In The Red is proud to announce the release of Thee Cormans' Halloween Record w/ Special Effects - a bonafide Halloween rock n' roll album being dropped just in time for the only holiday that matters.
Southern Californian biker/surf instrumental combo Thee Cormans have been bashing out their brand of Davie Allan & The Arrows meets the Ventures on meth thrash for several years now. Theirs is a sound informed by scratched up 60's instrumental records, KBD punk records and exploitation B movies chock full of monsters, bikers and mayhem. What this group of weirdos does to the surf instrumental genre is very similar to what The Mummies did to Pacific Northwest 60's rock back in the 90's. That is they speed it up, drag it through the mud, pour a can of politically incorrect attitude over the top of it and call it a pie. In this case the pie is filled with rubber bats, plastic fangs and novelty shrunken heads.Halloween Record w/ Special Effects will make you shriek, rattle & roll! These are spine-chilling sounds guaranteed to make you shiver! Flesh-ripping guitar playing! Skull pulverizing drum beats! Gore-spattering bass lines! Spooky, hair-raising sound effects! The bloody horror of this record is positively sinister! You will hate yourself if you miss this!
In The Red can't be held legally responsible for death caused by heart failure or fright due to listening to this record. In other words, this record is NOT for sissies!
(First 200 on glow-in-the-dark vinyl! Includes download card! No one under 17 will be allowed to purchase this record without written permission from a parent or guardian)

If you have young children, you'd be hard pressed to find a better shelving unit with which to bring order to toys in a family room or bedroom.
Scrapbookers should also consider this unit for an affordable way to keep supplies tidy and organized.May be available for FREE Shipping!

The reviews for this shelving unit made by Winsome were few but positive. The reviewers especially liked the narrow design, which made it easily fit into smaller rooms, like a foyer.
The Cons
Our Opinion
Winsome makes affordable shelving units that are of good quality. And this 4-tier, free-standing shelf is no different. We especially liked the narrowness of the shelf which makes it a great option for a room with limited space. It could perfectly match a room with Cherry furniture and work with either classic and contemporary styling.

- Pitney Bowes K700
- Pitney Bowes K7M0

Only the OEM and our Pitney Bowes ink supplies have been tested and approved by the US Postal Service, but unlike Pitney Bowes ink supplies, our products carry more ink to ensure maximum yield.
There are absolutely NO changeover issues when replacing your Pitney Bowes-brand ink cartridge with ours and will NOT void your meter warranty. Just replace your current cartridge with ours, and you're ready to go.
We process your order the same day it comes in—day or night—and ship same day on all orders before 4PM Eastern. We ship from 5 Quick Ship™ distribution centers across the US, guaranteeing the fastest standard delivery, with virtually all orders delivering within 1-4 business days. Take advantage of this premium service for FREE on orders of $50 or more.
Our inventory is extensively measured everyday to ensure your Pitney Bowes supplies are on hand and ready to ship when you need it. We continue to carry our 100% order fulfillment (no backorders), which is more than Pitney Bowes can say, and a commonly cited reason by many of our customers for making the switch.

Do you have the version of the 797 cartridge that works in the mailStation 2? I ordered the wrong cartridge at one time and it was a real hassle!
Absolutely. Our Pitney Bowes 797-0 ink cartridge functions in BOTH the original MailStation and the MailStation 2. You will never receive the wrong version of MailStation cartridge with us.

Will the use of a third party consumable, or "Brand X" as Pitney Bowes refers to it, void my Service Agreement?
Let us reassure you, this is not true. This is a simple, but effective, scare tactic Pitney Bowes employs on customers to coerce them into buying Pitney Bowes original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products that cost more than double our prices. Why? Because they can.
What Pitney Bowes fails to mention is that only the service required as a
direct result
from use of third-party consumables are not covered by your Service Agreement, so your Service Agreement would NOT be voided in its entirety. Our Risk Free Guarantee ensures you are not liable for anything, so in the highly unlikely event you do experience an issue with one of our products, just know that Pitney Bowes will perform any service necessary to keep you productive. Simply send us the resulting invoice (because the use of our product is not covered under your Service Agreement), and we will cover those expenses.
So, if this is an issue of concern for you, please try our product—risk free—and if you're not satisfied, we will be happy to refund your purchase. We're not looking to make a quick buck. We want you to have a safe, reliable, and quality source for your Pitney Bowes supply needs without the Pitney Bowes prices. If Pitney Bowes insists to the contrary of what we're sharing with you here, ask them to put their claim in writing and you'll know we are looking out for your best interest.

Why does your ink print lighter than Pitney Bowes'?
Our ink is slightly lighter than what you may be accustomed to from Pitney Bowes' ink. That's because Pitney Bowes has a patent on their use of that color red, so only they may use it. Our ink is, therefore, noticeably different to prevent any bully tactics from Pitney Bowes' legal team. This bears no impact whatsoever in mailstream distribution, which is based on fluorescence, not color. USPS scanners read our USPS-approved printed indicia the same as Pitney Bowes'.
Don't let this be an issue of concern for you. You'll see that your mail will not be returned to you as undeliverable.

I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative to Pitney Bowes, but I've had some bad experiences so far. How can I be SURE you're any different?
We're the first to admit we're not the cheapest alternative to Pitney Bowes. However, we do offer a quality product backed with extensive guarantees that none of our competitors come close in offering to ensure YOUR protection and a hassle-free experience.
If you believe the product we sent you is defective, please allow us to send you a replacement before asking for a refund. There's a reason for this - our defect rate is less than 1% – one of the lowest in the industry.
In the unlikely (but possible) event that you are the unlucky recipient of a defective product, we apologize (in advance) and understand how frustrating it can be. However, instead of writing us off entirely, we'd like to send you a replacement and return label for the defective product so our engineers can investigate the cause for defect and refine our manufacturing process, further reducing our defect rate to give you a better experience.
For undergoing this hassle and being our involuntary guinea pig in the name of product improvement, we'll take care of you some way on your next order as a way of appreciating your loyalty. Simply reference the RMA number we issue you in the comments section of your order.
Our business model is to help you save money, not make enemies.

Dear Colin,ReplyDelete
your Russians are fantastic!
The army of Suvorov is a very interesting topic.
Congratulations, beautiful figures!
I'm sorry but the Smolensk regiment had red-dark brown color.
The Pouce not is yellowish green color. I researched the true color years ago.
I look forward to your other beautiful creations, which are very inspiring for me.
See you soon
Thanks Simone . You may be right but puce can refer to a greenish yellow as well. Not going to repaint them though 😀ReplyDelete
Steaming along there Colin! Time for some French!ReplyDelete
Sure Colin,ReplyDelete
your beautiful Smolensk regiment is fine!
Best regards
Wow! Just outstanding work.ReplyDelete

The meeting will be preceded this month by the presentation of certificates to our 14 volunteer chaplains who successfully completed their training and have been accredited by the British Humanist Association. The presentation will take place at 3.00 pm, and all are invited to attend.
Our topic for this month's meeting is Brain Health.
The talk will be delivered by neuroscientist Sabina Brennan.
There is no direct relationship between the degree of brain pathology or brain damage that a patient sustains and the clinical manifestation of that brain injury or disease. Furthermore some people are able to maintain better brain function than others as they age even if their brain has advanced Alzheimer's Disease pathology.
Sabina Brennan will explain how this protective 'cognitive reserve' appears to be related to modifiable factors such as level of education attained, carrying out cognitively demanding tasks and being socially active. She will discuss how simple lifestyle changes can boost our brain health building reserves that may serve us well in the future.
Sabina Brennan (PhD) is a research psychologist affiliated with the School of Psychology, Trinity College Dublin. She is a principal investigator at Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience (TCIN) and the ADAPT Centre, TCD.
Tens of thousands marched on Dáil Éireann on the 24th of September in support of a referendum to repeal the 8th amendment representing a wide spectrum of our society. The HAI were represented in the march by a contingent of members, carrying HAI placards and a banner. It was a day of great energy and enthusiasm for change in favour of equality and freedom. The atmosphere was hopeful, friendly and exuberant with song and optimism.
On a day which rained consistently, and boasted a bus strike, the record numbers of people turning out both for the March as a whole, and those marching for the Humanist Association of Ireland, literally demonstrated the desire for progress.
Many thanks to all who came out in such great numbers and showed their support of the HAI and the Coalition to Repeal the 8th.

The Humanist Times, the new voice for the non-religious in Ireland was officially launched at the Third Space in Smithfield Square on Wednesday 14th September. With support from the Humanist Association of Ireland, this new magazine is being posted free to all members. It also aims to be more accessible and open to all those hundreds of thousands who tick the box marked No Religion on the Census form.
Speakers at the event included Duncan Stewart, the broadcaster and campaigner on green issues, Willie Collins and Arthur Deeny, of HAI, and Damian Nee, publisher of the Humanist Times. Live music was supplied by the trad Irish group, Riasc, and others in attendance were the author, Kate Beaufoy, the actor, Malcolm Douglas, the RTE producer, Jim Lockhart, and via Skype there was a contribution from Jeffrey Wilkinson MD, who runs a non-religious hospital in Africa.
There are plans to provide for mainstream retail sales and to seek advertising within the publication, in order for it to play a role in building the Humanist community in Ireland. All members are encouraged to provide feedback, letters to the article and submit articles to [email protected]. The launch was reported by Ronan Duffy for journal.ie here
We need volunteers to manage or support a campaign for:
Just to list a few.
You could support a campaign like our recent Census tick the no religion box, last year's baptismal campaign, or our general election questions campaign; or you might like to help to update the document Equality for the Non-Religious, or compose a submission like this year's one to the UN.
We are looking for more members to join our enthusiastic and strong campaign team of volunteers to help with research, organise events, write to politicians, compose submissions, and help to spread information and do your bit for equality for the non-religious.
Simply email me and I will be in touch with you – [email protected]
Our volunteers are invaluable and your support is greatly appreciated!
– Terry Flynn
Director of Campaigns
Síle Headen, Director of Ceremonies and Pastoral Care, gave a two-minute speech which focused on the lessons to be learned from the famine, and the need for compassion at a time when millions of refugees around the world find themselves displaced; not unlike the experience of so many of our ancestors 170 or so years ago.
It was perfect in tone and content, and was the only address to receive a round of applause from the audience.
The ceremony concluded with the President unveiling a large Celtic Cross to commemorate the approximately 22,000 victims of the famine who are buried at Glasnevin. This statistic contradicts the idea that the famine only affected rural areas and that the capital was largely unaffected. The site at Glasnevin holds the largest number of famine victims of any such burial site in the country. Several ambassadors and emissaries were given the opportunity to lay a wreath at the new monument.
President Higgins took a moment to chat with us and to pose for photographs, and he remarked that he is always delighted when we can send representation, reinforcing the notion that he would like his presidency to be one of inclusivity, without special preference being given to the religious over the non-religious.

The First Sunday Meeting dealt with the subject of oaths and affirmations, and the speaker was Justin McKenna.
Justin explained that one of the duties of every solicitor is to record statements from clients in the form of an affidavit or declaration averring the truth. This normally takes the form of asking the clients to confirm the statement to be true and asking them to sign it without any recourse to religious texts. This rather mundane and pedantic task was questioned recently by Mr Justice Peter Kelly, President of the High Court. His question concerned the lack of a bible when statements were being made by Christians. This question is completely valid in Irish law and it has important ramifications for almost all of the affidavits made in recent years throughout Ireland. Is it necessary that a baptised person should use a bible to verify that they have spoken the truth? If so, then how can a judge or other legal agent find out if the person is a Christian other than by asking them? Is this question an infringement of the person's right under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) article 9, to privacy regarding their beliefs? Yes, it does break the convention.
There have been various methods used to establish legal truth. In the past there was trial by combat (still available on Game of Thrones) and the invocation of various deities to smite the appellant if they had not spoken the truth. It could be said that the penalties for perjury are sufficient to encourage the truth. Some Christians, who take the bible more literally than others, use the bible itself to abstain from swearing on it (Mt 5:37). This practice showed the need for a non-biblical "oath. Eventually, by 1938, Ireland had statutes allowing declarations of the truth in commercial cases. In 1990 the Law Reform Commission agreed that secular affirmations should replace the choice of affirmation or religious oath as this identification of a person's religion or lack of it was contrary to the European Court of Human Rights. This has not been acted on yet, and given the rather weak position the government is in regarding the support of various independent TDs, it is unlikely that anything will happen soon.
Justin's talk brought forth many questions and comments:
Q1 In the case of the Glen of the Downs protest, was it the case that the judge insisted that those who had been baptised should use a bible to swear an oath?
A1 I am not familiar with the case.
Q2 Could a request by a witness to make a secular affirmation instead of a religious oath be detrimental to their credibility?
A2 I don't think this is a problem in Ireland.
Q3 In my experience in the Coroner's Court it is not normal to ask people if they want to make a secular affirmation or swear on a bible; the bible is assumed.
A3I feel there have been cases where non-believers have given a religious oath in court so as to bolster their credibility.
Q4 I find that when entering hospital there is a question about one's religion, surely this is none of the hospital's business?
A4 There is a right in ECHR article 9 to privacy regarding your religious beliefs or lack of them.
Q5 The last time I did jury service the clerk of the court didn't offer a secular affirmation and didn't seem to understand the idea until the judge explained it. The British system seems more open to secular affirmations.
A5 This is a practical problem, when I arrange for a house purchase I usually ask about the choice of religious oath or secular affirmation at the start as it saves time changing the paperwork later. It seems odd that this is an issue in buying a house, but it is.
Q6 Can a judge just be awkward about oaths?
A6 No, the judge must accept your decision to make a secular affirmation.
Q8 Are there cultural and subconscious biases among judges?
A8 There can be bias but due to the system of advocacy in Ireland this should not present a problem.
Final remark from Justin:
Judges and our President still take a religious oath on taking office.

Advance directives are written legal documents by which patients express their wishes about the kind of health care they want to receive in the event they become unable to make their own treatment decisions. This usually means if he or she is physically or mentally incapacitated or otherwise unable to makes these desires known. They are designed to allow competent patients the opportunity to guide future health care decisions.
Advance directives include living wills and medical powers of attorney, sometimes called durable powers of attorney. It takes the decision away from family members, thus reducing their stress at a vulnerable time.

Boeing expects aircraft investors to keep pace with record demand
Boeing reports that financiers plan to add to their aircraft portfolio investments as global large aircraft manufacturers head toward expected record aircraft deliveries in 2014 estimated at $112 billion.
Based on pre-event polling at the company's events for financiers and investors so far this year, an average of 70 percent of banks and financial institutions working in the aviation sector are looking to increase aircraft investments, said Kostya Zolotusky, managing director for capital markets development and leasing at Boeing Capital Corporation.
"Even factoring in current production rates by the major aircraft manufacturers, the global jetliner market is relatively tight today with demand for new, fuel-efficient airplanes outstripping supply," Zolotusky said to the more than 100 representatives at the company's annual European financiers and investors conference in London.
Boeing hosts five conferences in major aircraft financial centers annually to provide market updates and address investor questions on aircraft investment opportunities.
"As we've done in recent years on various issues that could affect Boeing aircraft values, we're here to answer them with facts and data," said Zolotusky.
Current financing conditions are in line with earlier forecasts calling for strong liquidity to support new aircraft deliveries, Zolotusky said.
"Among funding sources, we are seeing a rare balance," Zolotusky said. "Capital markets for aircraft-secured products are growing at unprecedented rates, and Europe's banks are doing well after weathering the sovereign debt crisis and are being complemented by a broad base of global banks. Aircraft lessors are now the largest funding source for aircraft, and usage of government export credit is declining due to its higher costs and the strength of commercial markets," he said.
Other positive signs for aircraft financing Boeing noted include some recovery of the financing market for used aircraft, which has seen higher pricing compared to new aircraft, as well as an improving world air cargo market.
Zolotusky said investors polled also exhibited some concern if the industry's total higher production rates and large order books might increase the risk for aircraft overcapacity in coming years.
"We addressed that head on by pointing to Boeing's solid track record for managing our production rates to meet real market demand. If demand doesn't play out as anticipated, we will adjust our production plans accordingly to ensure we are in line with true supply and demand," Zolotusky said.

You're probably wondering how meditation can help you achieve your goals. After all to achieve goals you must think, and take action whereas with meditation you're supposed to relax, settle in and calm the mind.
The truth is, like the yin and the yang, these two things are interconnected. How? Let's dive in.
Let me be honest and say that no, I don't believe that you can become a millionaire solely by putting those thoughts out into the universe. But I do believe that you can achieve your goals and manifest a life that you want through positive intention, staying focused, and taking action in addition to putting those thoughts into the universe.
You've probably spent a lot of time mulling about your goals. Maybe they're broad, maybe they're really specific or maybe you're having a hard time defining them. You might have started out excited then scared then excited again. Many people, myself included would always be looking outward for the answers. To friends, the internet, anywhere but the source…within.
Personally, meditation doesn't come easy for me. My mind wanders constantly. I'm constantly fidgeting then I start to worry about the past and future. Before you know it I'm checking the time to see if 5 minutes have gone by so I can continue about my day. It's easy to give up right away especially if you don't see results immediately. That's why patience with yourself is so important. If you can be patient with yourself with meditation it will carry over into other aspects of your life.
So how does meditation help you achieve your goals? It puts you in the right mindset. It helps you calm your busy mind, gain clarity, develop patience and cut through the noise. It also help you identify unhealthy thoughts and thought patterns that are preventing you from achieving your goals. Just as you observe the outside world, flowers, movies, people watching, you must learn to observe your thoughts. To do that you must learn to silence the mind.
So where do you begin?
Find a quiet space and settle in. Do a quick scan of your body. Are there areas that are more tense than others? My shoulders and forehead tend to be the most tense for me. Take a few minutes to focus on relaxing all of your muscles especially the ones that are super tense. Sometimes we don't even know we're holding stress in an area until we focus in. I swear tense shoulders are my norm. It's not until I focus on them do I realize they're tense up to my ears.
So now that your body is in a relaxed state it's time to focus the mind. You can either focus on your breath, a mantra, a sound, it's really up to you. When your mind starts to wander into the past or future gently turn your focus back to your breath, mantra etc. If you use your breath, breathe normally—don't force your breathing. Btw, this is a judge free zone so don't beat yourself up if you can't stop your mind wandering. Even the most experienced struggle.. it's part of the process and its called practice for a reason. Try doing this for 5 minutes, once in the morning and once in the evening. You can always increase or decrease the time.
I personally just started trying this meditation called Vipassana, or insight meditation. Its the practice of continued close attention to sensation.https://www.lionsroar.com/how-to-practice-vipassana-insight-meditation/
I also started used the app Insight Timer. You can select what type of meditation you want: meditation for anxiety, sleep etc. and you can see where others are meditating around the world. btw you can tap the screen for it to go dark for your meditation so you don't have that interruption of brightness coming from your device. It gives you so many options including guided meditation which is great for beginners. It provides a real sense of community and the selections are endless. You must check it out. I cannot recommend this app enough!
Everyone is different so you may find a type of meditation that works better for you than others. I recommend trying out a few different kinds because you never know which one will strike a cord with you.
After five minutes is up, continue to sit in stillness, start to bring awareness back into your body and focus on your goal. What would your life look like if you accomplish your goal? Get really specific here. Where would you be? What would you be wearing? Who would you be with? Everytime you meditate you will want to further develop the detail in this. This practice will help you start to manifest your goals. I would recommend starting with one goal at first.
Believe, achieve and happy meditating! Don't forget to be patient with yourself and drop a comment below to let me know how it's going!

In week 5 of our sojourn with Dr. Piers Steel's The Procrastination Equation, we consider Chapter 4, "ProcrastiNations: How Modern Life Ensures Distraction."
Dr. Steel opens with an engaging tale of his personal struggles with video game addiction. Of course, he passes off his most recent skirmish as having been in the interests of science. Thusly:
To better write it [the chapter], I reacquainted myself with an old distraction, purposefully re-infecting myself with what had afflicted me for so long as a student--video games. . . . for the purposes of this book. . . . Oh, the sacrifices I make for science!
Wow! Taking one for the cause. And his drug of choice? Conquer Club, the electronic version of Risk, a board game which nearly ended my first marriage, long before I eventually ended it myself, for much more mature reasons.
Steel identifies the following "elements" of his ensuing enslavement, typical of the situation too many of us find ourselves in these days.
- proximity to temptation
- virulence of the temptation
- variable reinforcement
- instantaneous reward
Following his consideration of the harmful nature of this form of entertainment, he goes on to discuss the even greater damage wrought by TV, in the six decades plus since it was welcomed into our hearths and homes, and its ongoing inroads with near-universal adoption of cable and digital service, DVR technology, and migration to computers and smart phones.
And then there's the Internet itself, with its (ahem) blogosphere, 24/7 email, and social networking. (Excuse me while I take a brief break to check my Facebook page.) Not to mention the lure, for an information junkie like myself, of all the reference material (refereed and not), arcane tidbits, and spiritually uplifting (or not) stuff (for lack of a better word. No, wait. My computer-housed thesaurus suggests "resources." Yes, much better.)
And the games! No console necessary. (My personal Waterloo? Bejeweled Blitz. And it's on Facebook. A two-fer!) One-stop shopping for the procrastinator. Oh, and I forgot to mention the shopping! (Where else could I spend 45 minutes searching for the exotic new tea-processing device I recently saw in Seattle? Or the perfect, like-new triathlon suit for my next race?)
Dr. Steel doesn't mention porn, but no matter whose numbers you believe, it seems pretty clear that the pursuit of prurient interests on the Internet is not adding to our productivity. One much-cited source tells us that 25% of all search engine requests (68 million a day) and 35% of all Internet downloads are pornographic; that every second, 28,258 Internet users are viewing porn; and that 20% of men and 13% of women (but not this one) admit to watching pornography at work. Another claims that 70% of all Internet porn traffic occurs during the 9 to 5 workday.
But whatever we're doing on the Internet, and the TV, and our cell phones, smart and otherwise, and our Wii's and Playstations and X-Boxes, and our iPads, a lot of it could properly be termed procrastination.
As Dr. Steel says, "Every distraction the modern world offers also exacerbates the mismatch between who we are and what we need to be."
And, more pointedly,
Modernization brings with it procrastination. As our economies have grown over the last few decades, we have experienced a fivefold increase in chronic procrastination. In the 1970s, 4 to 5 percent of people surveyed indicated that they considered procrastination a key personal characteristic. Today, that figure is between 20 and 25 percent, the logical consequence of filling our lives with ever more enticing temptations [or of ever more books, articles, and blogs about procrastination?].
And while work is as much fun as it ever was (!), whole industries have grown up around the competition for our time and attention. And with all this proliferation of entertaining alternatives,
[t]he rise of procrastination is hard to avoid, given its deep roots in our brain's neurobiology. The limbic system focuses on the now while the prefrontal cortex deals with longer-term concerns. . . . Though both the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex come together to reach a final decision, their duet ensures the rise of procrastination.
And the effect is purposeful, relying on sophisticated design and advertising:
Businesses respond to our dominant desires, so there is no coercion or conspiracy here, just the invisible hand of the market building a limbic system wonderland. With the ubiquitous overemphasis on the immediate and the material, on the instant and the consumable, people are seduced into putting off long-term but ultimately more satisfying goals involving career achievement, volunteering in the community, raising a family or following a spiritual path. Materialism and consumerism are merely emergent properties of our neurobiology given free rein in a free market.
As he wraps up the chapter, Dr. Steel builds to a crescendo of foreboding, from this Aldous Huxley quote, from Brave New World Revisited--
"All the resources of psychology and the social sciences are mobilized" with the aim of controlling people by finding "the best ways to take advantage of their ignorance and to exploit their irrationality."
to this from Neil Postman, in Amusing Ourselves to Death--
"the rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."
And finally, to this—
In sum, the free market is geared toward providing increasingly irresistible temptations that distract us from our greater goals.
Never before in our history have there been as many temptations, as succulently devised, as readily available, and as adeptly marketed. Adam and Eve only had to deal with a juicy apple purveyed by a serpent. Nowadays, our apple is caramel coated and chocolate dipped, marketed with a multi-million dollar advertising campaign in a blitz of commercials, pop-ups, and inserts. Inevitably, as our lives drown in these diversions, our procrastination is on the rise.
The exploitation of the limbic system is baked into capitalism and you can't stop it without making the entire wonderful wealth-generating machinery grind to a halt. Someone will always create a product that provides short-term pleasure along with considerable but deferred pain simply because we will buy it. Consequently, dealing with constant temptation and its potential for creating procrastination is and will continue to be part of living in this world.
But, lucky for us, we
are reading this book. . . . Learning better ways to cope with temptation and procrastination is what we will be doing together in later chapters; we will make the Procrastination Equation work for us, one variable at a time.
Except earlier, Steel hazarded a guess that those of us making our way through this third chapter would have already been engaged in reading the book for about three months—based on statistics about how much time people spend, relatively, watching TV versus reading. So the (over)haul is likely to be a long one.
And what of those of us who will remain unremediated?
I've spent a fair amount of the last, well, more than a decade, reading about young people who are "twice exceptional," "driven to distraction," and "differently abled," in the attempt to facilitate the education and uprearing of my middle child (And what kind of word is that, anyway, uprearing? And what might it mean about the tendency to "rear up" that I observed in that same dyslexic, ADD, and eventually depressed son, as he wrangled with the academic powers-that-were in his tender years?). But are any of us, however abled, immune from the cultural influences so hauntingly described by Dr. Steel? And which is the new, and which the retro neural architecture, and "learning style?"
Will the successful educational institution, and workplace of the future accommodate the brains our technology is rebuilding, so that work becomes more reinforcing? My husband, the university professor, has adapted his pedagogy to reflect the cable-ready students who must take his courses. The end result? What appears to be real learning seems to be taking place, and students flock to sign up for his classes, and swell his waiting lists. But is this pandering, akin to the infotainment that passes for news coverage on our TV screens?
Dr. Steel's description of the forces of distraction is compelling, if distressing. He does not, however, examine the cultural shifts involved in what might be termed our present day procrastination hysteria. As leisure shrinks, and work and its demands consume us more and more, are we more focused on the unproductivity we therefore problematize? Steel provides this example of early 20th century exhortations about procrastination, from William Bagley's 1911 treatise on "The Craftmanship of Teaching," in which he described
the "hammock on the porch," the "fascinating novel," and the "happy company of friends" as the "seductive siren call of change and diversion, that evil spirit of procrastination!"
Were the hammock, the novel, and the friends' happy company really so much less distracting a century ago? Or were those who turned to them perhaps less overwhelmed with work, and less concerned about dalliance?
For myself, as I wrote this piece over the course of the day, I took a page out of Dr. Steel's book, literally, and got in some Solitaire 'Til Dawn (Forty Thieves), and a little Facebooking. I also stopped off at the donut shop for some empty calories to celebrate my son's return to school, after a several year hiatus for academic detoxing. I spent some highly distracting, and enjoyable time in a hammock, socializing with my husband and kids. I read a bit. I checked my email to see what time I was supposed to meet my running partner.
I'm not always clear what is really "productive," goal-oriented use of my time, and what is real distraction. I do know, though, that I am enjoying wrestling with Dr. Steel's ideas, and their articulate presentation.
Next week--Chapter 5: The Personal Price of Procrastination.

Introduction Best WordPress Theme Affiliate Program
Over the previous ten years, I have used a lot of different WordPress topics and have been really disappointed. Up until recently, I was using MyThemeShop, which was pretty good. However, I had to do a lot of customization to allow it to perform and work how I wanted it to. A few of weeks ago I decided to give GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it's undoubtedly the best WordPress theme I have found in 10 years. I was dismissed and am moving all my websites to GeneratePress. I'll enter exactly why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review under. And if you're wondering, yes I have tried Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X motif, Divi as well as several other lightweight and thicker multicolored themes. Best WordPress Theme Affiliate Program
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Review
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme created by Tom Usborne, a programmer from Canada. I've really seen it for years from the WordPress repository. Most of you know that I'm fairly picky when it comes to web performance, and so I tend to ignore everything from the repository. Typically because a great deal of things on there isn't that good, or not encouraged for long. Nonetheless, in this circumstance, that was a mistake. The theme now has more than half a million downloads, 80,000+ busy matches, with over 500 5-star evaluations. So obviously Tom is doing some thing right here.
I Really set up the free version of the motif and in a matter of 15 minutes purchased the superior version. I could tell right off the bat, the programmer was thinking exactly how I was envisioning a theme should get the job done. And I will go into that more below, but let us first look at a number of the qualities. I'm going to be covering the superior version of the theme, since it's worth very penny. Actually, Tom, in the event that you ever read this and so are seeing Scottsdale, Arizona, coffees on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable things you don't want running. This is one of the greatest reasons I adore GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks great across all of the devices.
Schema built-in, for greater results in SERPs.
Dramatic integration with the WordPress Customizer. I have not been a lover of this customizer in the past, but Tom does it right.
Compatible with all popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Fantastic browser support back to IE8.
Additionally, it works great with the popular fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you want to dive into even more customizations, these really are a terrific combo. I have also read that people using Beaver Builder have experienced success.
Resumes prepared.
Font wonderful built in.
Tons of filters and hooks that make it good for developers.
Excellent active support from the developer. On average, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation is also unbelievable. Besides have good documentation on their website, the subject has been around long enough that what I wholeheartedly during the setup procedure was found inside a couple of seconds in their own forum.
Going Deep Into GeneratePress
Now it's Time for the fun part! I always test a new theme right out of the box with no customizations to just see how quickly the base is. This tells me a great deal of what I can expect by the time that I add everything to it. Running the stock GeneratePress WordPress theme on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms loading time. I was quite impressed.
One Thing I was worried about with GeneratePress was that the modular layout was going to generate a whole lot of big files, but that is not the situation. You may tell that Tom literally worked hard on ensuring that every file packed in GeneratePress is as small as possible. Together with HTTP/2, the amount of files isn't as important. But the dimensions is! Take a look at a few of the center GeneratePress files below:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
This is a programmer that cares about performance! And I have Seen exactly the same throughout all of the premium add-ons. They're literally as small as possible get them. In fact, Font Awesome is probably the biggest file contained. And that is not even his. Together with Font Awesome 5 coming round the cornerwe could anticipate that to secure smaller also.
The premium add-ons Are setup in what I'd call a modular layout. You can activate/deactivate anything you are not using to ensure they don't load on your site. As the co-developer of the perfmatters plugin that has a script supervisor built, I felt at home for this. Everything should be made this way.
If You're interested, I am using the following add-ons on this website:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best features of GeneratePress is that I no longer have to use a Child motif . This makes my life much simpler. No longer editing my functions.php or header.php documents. I will literally upgrade my GeneratePress motif this exact minute and not lose one customization. The hooks add-on definitely can help make it possible. It permits you to incorporate custom code/PHP anywhere throughout your WordPress website. Best WordPress Theme Affiliate Program
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On every Page/post you have a great deal of alternatives. You can alter the sidebar design and the footer widgets.
You Can easily swap a page between the default option to a full width page, in addition to disable elements.
The WordPress customizer options is where GeneratePress really shines! Remember, a lot of these choices are enabled from the premium add-ons. I can not show you everything, otherwise, we'd be here all day. But let me show you few which actually come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly suggest grabbing is the free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this is also made by precisely the exact same programmer as GeneratePress. It allows you a super simple way to add responsive columns into any page or post. Characteristics include:
Desktop grid width
Tablet grid thickness
Mobile grid thickness
Add Customized courses
Add custom inline styles
Equal height columns
Here is An example under:
You May Want to Also grab his incredible WP Show Posts plugin too. View my featured posts on the sidebar of this site? That's using the WP Show Posts plugin. I have it set to display posts from a particular"featured" category. You can also have it show past modified/updated articles, recent articles, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works great.
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Sections add-on in the premium version of GeneratePress lets you do all sorts of things concerning design. Think of it like a webpage builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not only for blogs! I'm in fact utilizing GeneratePress to our ecommerce site (perfmatters.io) which is running Easy Digital Downloads. Don't hesitate to check it out. But as you can see below, it looks like a site.
Speed Tests
For those Of those that are regular readers, you probably didn't even notice I changed the whole motif that forces woorkup.com. It just took me about an hour for GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop theme which I had spent annually customizing. Here's a comparison below.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop theme was already pretty quickly, but I spent a great deal of time customizing it. In fact, I've gotten a great deal of emails from you guys asking me to print all my customizations. My advice now is, simply get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
Together with the New GeneratePress theme I was able to achieve faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And remember, I do not have a kid motif. All the customizations were created with the wonderful GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I've working on woorkup? You are in luck. Tom asked if he could create a copy of woorkup to your new GeneratePress site library. I'm happy to let you know that you can now install my woorkup theme in your own GeneratePress website with only a single click! It is known as the Marketer theme. Get started with a fantastic blog design immediately.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved within my private website, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a motif from Array Themes. It is a fairly basic minimum website, since I don't use it for much. As you can see it already loaded pretty fast.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to duplicate the whole appearance 100 percent in GeneratePress in under an hour. And as you can see it loads faster! Amazing. I was even able to eliminate a couple plugins which weren't needed due to GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved over our business site, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It's a pretty basic minimal site, as we just use it for our LLC. Since you can see it already loaded pretty quickly. Best WordPress Theme Affiliate Program
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to move everything over and get it looking exactly how I wanted it in under one hour. And since you can see it loads faster! Amazing. I managed to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my whole page weight 2x!
I can not express my Excitement about locating GeneratePress and I'm moving over all of my websites for this (which includes several EDD e-commerce websites ). After I've got my 9 sites all running in GP with no child topics, my entire life will be a breeze! The programmer has revived my faith in multi-purpose themes, which when done the correct way, can actually perform faster.
And The best news is, I now have a billion more choices to pick from than I did earlier.
What GeneratePress Is Good For…
GeneratePress Is the ideal alternative for performance-focused users that wish to have the ability to personalize and control precisely how their site looks.
You Can make GeneratePress do pretty much anything. And since GeneratePress has a focus on functionality, the site that you build will have a great foundation to make it load fast.
Since Of that, those who build WordPress websites for a living love GeneratePress. They will normally pair it with a WordPress page builder and use it for literally any type of site.
But GeneratePress Might Not Be A Good Fit If…
…you Need something that will instantly look perfect out of the box.
For Example, if you realize you wish to produce a fashion blog, you may be happier picking out a niche theme that's developed exclusively for trend bloggers.
Even though GeneratePress has gotten a lot simpler to use, as a result of its pre-built Website Library, GeneratePress still seems very barebones when you first install it.
So To create GeneratePress look how you want it to, you will most likely will need to go in and personalize matters. And while the substantial advantage of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, some users, particularly casual users, do not like having to make those changes themselves.
GeneratePress Features Which Make It Unique
Here Are a few of the particular features that explain why GeneratePress is indeed common.
Plenty Of Customization Options In The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Past Functionality, another area where GeneratePress does well is its customization choices.
GeneratePress Utilizes the WordPress Customizer for customization, which can be convenient because you'll have the ability to see all the changes that you make in real time.
The Free version of GeneratePress gives you decent possibilities, but if you own GeneratePress Premium, you will have the ability to customize nearly all about your site.
For Example, if you go in the Layout region, you may configure comprehensive settings to yourown:
- Header — you can move your header around and alter its own styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, including sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can use one or two sidebars
- Blog post layout — like featured picture size, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — like the number of widgets to include
Similarly, That the Typography area lets you control the font for each and every element on your site, such as buttons:
And You also get a detailed region to control the color of each and every element on your site.
All In all, GeneratePress will give you a lot more customization options from the WordPress Customizer compared to most other themes. This amount of detail might be a bit overwhelming if you're a beginner. But once you understand how the settings come together, you'll have complete control over how your site looks.
Optimized Performance And Fast Page Load Times
Around All of its features, GeneratePress consistently includes a focus on excellent performance and tidy code. The entire theme is less than 30 kB, and it is about as little as you'll ever find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress themes are still 200+ kB. And a few badly coded themes can even surpass 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also has no code dependencies, which helps you avoid the leave obstructing error that Google Pagespeed Insights often cites.
Put That together, and you get a superfast-loading motif. How quickly? To give you a sense, I ran a small test.
First, I set up a vacant website using a random popular WordPress.org theme (Envo Magazine). After testing its performance with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance grade of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 moments
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 asks
That is Not bad in any way! But GeneratePress can do better.
Next, I activated GeneratePress on exactly the same test website without changing anything else. Here's how GeneratePress did:
- Had a performance tier of 87, 10 points better
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% faster
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 requests, ~40% fewer
If You perform that same test with other topics, you are going to continue to find that GeneratePress is among the fastest-loading WordPress topics in existence. Best WordPress Theme Affiliate Program
Other Useful Premium Extensions, Plus Much Modular Approach
Past Giving you more style controls in the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other helpful features like:
- Elements — a unique feature that lets you create customized hooks, page headers, or design templates.
- Page Header — allows you create a unique page header on a per-page basis.
- Sections — this is sort of like lightweight page building. It lets you create different"sections" onto a page, each with their own layout and column settings.
To Stay lightweight, GeneratePress also gives you a modular port where you can pick and choose what characteristics you would like to trigger.
That Way, you don't have to slow your site down for a feature that you're never going to use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Site
In The last, you needed to construct GeneratePress sites from a blank canvas regardless of what, which made the motif difficult for casual users to set up.
Earlier In 2018, however, the programmer added a new Website Library feature for GeneratePress Premium users which allows you easily import any among the 25+ pre-built demonstration websites .
You Can import them right from the WordPress dashboard.
Yes this Website still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click on a couple buttons to import a presentation site.
Page-Level Settings Give You Comprehensive Control Over Each Bit Of Content
With Most themes, every page and post will use the same settings for the most part. You may have some custom formats or templates — but you don't have very much control beyond that.
GeneratePress Changes that by giving you a brand new Design meta name box for each and every post and page:
You Can utilize this meta box to:
- Change how many sidebars your website uses, or the sidebar orientation (like altering the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose how many footer widgets to use
- Disable certain elements, such as your header, navigation menu, post featured picture, post title, or footer
- Create a special"container" to your own page builder
Where These controls are the most useful is if you're using a WordPress site builder.
By Disabling certain elements, you are able to produce the correct baseline for your page builder design, making it easy to create custom content as needed. Best WordPress Theme Affiliate Program
GeneratePress Pricing: Affordable And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Heart GeneratePress theme is available for free at WordPress.org.
That said, If you are seriously interested in using GeneratePress, I believe you should buy the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that is what makes the theme so flexible. The free version doesn't give you nearly as numerous configurations from the WordPress Customizer. And you'll also miss out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium is also still quite affordable. It costs only $39.95, and that provides you use on unlimited sites. You'll also get a 40% discount if you would like to renew to continue receiving support and updates after the initial year (you can, of course, continue using GeneratePress after the first year without renewing — you won't receive any more upgrades ).
When You consider that the normal premium WordPress theme will often cost around $60, GeneratePress provides a great value.
As I said, I do not think GeneratePress is for everyone.
If You want a niche-specific motif, you can probably save time by buying a theme that satisfies your needs for your market out of day one.
But If you're ready to spend time changing preferences, then GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to turn it into any sort of WordPress website. Or, you might even be able to locate a starter website that fulfills your needs to save a little time.
Additionally, It is among those fastest-loading WordPress topics you will locate. Therefore, if you're looking for the best performance possible, utilizing GeneratePress as your WordPress site's foundation is a great choice.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, you shouldn't have any difficulty making your site load in under one minute. Best WordPress Theme Affiliate Program

"go to your room…and come out when you're happy." those words still sting. but it was all my mother knew to do with me.
at some point during those early years of my childhood, the message clicked…i was too much. my emotions needed to be reigned in, pushed down. minimized.
i was complicated and my mom preferred simple.
to be fair, i do remember crying a lot as a young girl and adolescent. i guess i had no other way of letting out the tension.
the tension i felt from my earliest memory of longing for the world to make sense.
now, as an adult, i think i'm beginning to understand the purpose of crying. after all, we come into this stark world with an abrupt tearing of flesh. and a wailing infant is not only permissible but healthy. babies have no words…so we let them cry.
God knew that our little human hearts and souls would need an outlet, even when words eluded us. He knew that tears would come in response to living, and feeling, and confusion, and loss.
when i think back to growing up, i'm not 100% sure why i cried so much. but i have a hunch it's for the same reasons i cry about today. it's when my head and my heart can't come to terms with each other. emotions are amiss, unsettled and don't make sense. so they rattle around inside…trying to find a way out.
like loose ends of an unraveled blanket, there are just too many threads to manage or contain. it's a frayed mess. and it feels too much sometimes.
i feel too much sometimes.
and my glossary of words falls short sometimes.
and that's ok. because that's when the tears speak the words for us. and God hears what the tears are saying. He sees through. right through our angst and into our hearts. even if it feels muddled and frayed.
then…He collects every tear.
the quiet ones we shed in ache.
the tender ones we whisper in contrition.
the loud ones we wail in grief.
the angry ones we shout in torment.
the desperate ones we cry in sickness.
and the broken ones that just roll down our cheeks in response to being weary and tattered.
they are all somehow holy.
and He doesn't miss a single one.
You've kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in Your ledger, each ache written in Your book.
Psalm 56:8 The Message
what a crazy notion that the God of the universe not only understands our tears, collects and counts them…but also intended for them to be the manifestation of our sorrows when words fail. and when we cry and cry out He doesn't send us away . He doesn't send us to our rooms when we are filled with confusion and threadbare.
instead He pulls us in. closer.
wiping away every tear and holding us to His breast in comfort…saying " bury your head in my shoulder and cry until the tears run out. they are beautiful and necessary and kept . I won't miss a one. "
for Maddie who came into this world 19 years ago today and made it a more beautiful place. i love you a million swedish fish, xxoo momma

To complete your research paper assignment, you need to choose a topic idea, explore it, make an outline, write and re-write drafts, and edit your work. The process is as complicated as it sounds, so finding cheap research papers for sale seems like a good idea. It's important to avoid fraud and ensure that you keep all the vital nuances in mind to choose your helper wisely.
You should study the privacy policy statements and guarantees' descriptions that a chosen writing company provides on its website. It's important that they assign your order to the most appropriate writer considering his or her previous experience, performance indicators, academic level, and former customer feedback.
It's recommended to avoid services that offer only one payment method. For your convenience, you should be able to use one of the major credit or debit cards. It's an advantage if it's possible to pay using popular online payment services. Another important detail that you should check is whether you can pay in installments or not.
Most reliable writing agencies offer research paper writing help. You can select the level of complexity of the assignment and its subject area. If you have any recommendations given by your professor on how to complete your work properly, make sure to share this information with your helper for a better outcome.
You should submit an original piece of writing that meets the requirements of your instructor. Therefore, you can't submit a prewritten assignment. Reliable writing services guarantee that their experts work on every order specifically. They create unique content with fresh ideas, logical assumptions, and newest evidence. Moreover, they send a plagiarism report to you.
It's easy to get a list of supposedly qualitative research paper composing companies. However, many of them are actually not as good as they claim to be, so you need to conduct a quick investigation addressing the aforementioned questions. Remember that you'll gain the benefits you want only by working with a trustworthy service.

It took time for parents, librarians and others to appreciate the rhyming sentence structures, rhythm, simple messages, and colorful images embedded in the book. Today, Good Night Moon has sold over 11 million copies, and there are valuable lessons from its rise from obscurity to best seller, especially as corporate storytellers work on their craft of creating more compelling documents and presentations.

I made this flapper style hat for my granddaughter Meagan. I did not use the yarn called for but used a Lang Yarn Mille Colori and Merino 5 yarn. I have one more hat to make for me and I think that will be the end of my crocheting for this week. I think I will pull out my knitting needles and see what I come up with there.
You can find the hat pattern Mirja Cloche

Israeli Banks to Offer Small Businesses a Fixed-fee Package
The Bank of Israel's supervisor of banks, Hedva Ber, announced Sunday a move to reduce the bank fees paid by small businesses.
The Bank of Israel's supervisor of banks, Hedva Ber, announced Sunday a move to reduce the bank fees paid by small businesses.
Ber and Roi Cohen, the president of Lahav, the Israeli Chamber of Independent Organizations and Businesses, were behind the initiative. It requires banks to identify their small-business customers that could save by switching to a fixed-fee track from a line-item track.
Accordingly, the new fee track will allow setting checking account fees by pricing an expanded set of activities, such that account holders won't be charged for every transaction. The banks will have to send offers to small business for this track and detail the expected savings.
An official in the banking supervision department said the move followed a November 2017 ordering banks to send every small business a letter telling it how much it could save by switching fee tracks. However, officials said, "the response of small businesses was negligible."
Department officials said only 4,000 small businesses have moved of their own accord to the new fee track, and therefore the central bank division decided to take a more active step to increase the scope of small businesses switching tracks, which they expect to begin in early 2019.
Data the banks gave the banking supervision department indicate that the new move will help 160,000 small businesses, whose annual revenues are 5 million shekels ($1.4 million) or less, as well as licensed dealers with turnover of up to 40 million shekels. The department believes these businesses could each save hundreds of shekels annually. Cohen said he thought some could even save "thousands of shekels in fees for essential services for running their business."
A Bank of Israel survey showed that the expanded fee track is best suited to most small businesses and licensed dealers. It included up to 50 non-teller transactions and 10 teller-assisted transactions. Fees would be set at 20 to 30 shekels per month.
Ber said, "This step joins the reduction of credit card fees, which is expected in January." She added, "We are working to ensure that the fruits of efficiency and technological changes in the banking system also benefit the banks' customers.

We rely on donations to help us support RDA and our members with training, mentoring, education and increasing their influence in Australia. Your support will have a meaningful impact and is fully tax deductible over $2.
Rwandan Diaspora in Australia is the only organisation in Australia dedicated to this work. It's a big ambition, but it's one that's inspired thousands of people over the years. Help refugee and migrant communities and individuals promote peace, and development in both Rwanda and Australia by becoming a donor today.
Running an organisation like Rwandan Diaspora in Australia takes huge amounts of time, energy and commitment, and it also requires resources. While we can rely on an extraordinary group of dedicated staff and volunteers who offer their time, energy and commitment, the reality is that we still require funds to ensure we can operate and deliver our innovative programs to all Rwandans everywhere.
A regular contribution will make an extraordinary difference to a small organisation like ours, and help us plan our programs better, knowing we can count on your support into the future.
An amount of $20 a month might not sound life-changing but it will have a huge impact on our work: by the end of one year you could have supported a volunteer to help build a website, write letters to an MP, plan a human rights campaign, or organise an event. Support us now!
How will your donation be used?
• One-on-one mentoring and training provided to the RDA community.
• Facilitating dialogue between RDA, government and international development agencies.
• Advocating to magnify the voices of RDA on issues
The continual support and training of people from refugee and new migrant backgrounds at our office by offering valuable volunteer experience, which they can then utilise for employment opportunities.
These projects add value to the lives of RDA members in Australia who are working to transform the lives of people who have been affected by the genocide and war in general. None of this work would be possible without your valuable support.
Are donations tax deductible? YES
Will I receive a receipt for my donation? Yes, it will be sent to you by email.

As if cyber crime was not rampant enough, now hackers have started using printers and scanners to spread malware across devices. Technicians at Brother printer support number know of cases where printers or scanners are spoofed and used for this purpose. These criminals spoof printers, scanners & copiers to send legitimate looking files to the victim's network device that are actually malware. Criminals who do this are exceptionally resourceful.
How are these attacks designed?
The miscreants will employ subtle and advanced social engineering techniques that will trick the users into downloading the infected attachments. They might easily spoof a printer's model number so no suspicion arises when someone receives the email. There have been cases when the payload is a data-encrypting ransomware. This is designed, as we noticed in Brother printer customer service UK, to smartly evade machine-learning tools (algorithm based) of some of the best cyber security providers in the market.
They will infect a device, encrypt the data in it and find a way to get a ransom in bitcoin. This ransomware is designed as an unknown file. Without a human noticing and analysing it, it can do away with the system security. It is an advanced technique that a small team of criminals can use to attack a number of organizations in a short span of time, causing maximum damage.
There are also cases when these spoofed emails carry malicious attachments. Once downloaded by an unsuspecting user, it gives criminals complete access to the device.
Brother printer support UK asks clients to learn more about the warning signs
The email subject may read something as harmless as "scanned from Brother" or some other printer in the network. It comes with an attachment that carries the malicious code. It comes with some sort of a modified file name that lets the attackers hide their harmful code within the archive, as it imitates a '.jpg,' '.PDF' or '.txt.' So be very careful of any PDF attachments. Prevention is always better than the cure. Whenever you receive any attachment from a scanner, printer or copier, just be more alert.
How do you dodge such attacks on your network devices?
At Brother printer helpline number UK, we tell our clients about the simple steps that you can take to ensure they do not get to trick and cause you any harm. Got an email from either the copier, scanner or printer vendor? Just call them up to doubly ensure that they sent it. Hover the cursor over any link that the email contains and try to find out if it is legitimate or not.
Read also : Basic Printer Precautions for Your Brother Printer
We live in an age of identity theft and spoofing. So double check such things even when the email seems to be sent from a known source. Invest in strong and updated cyber security measures for all your devices and network. Technicians at your Brother printer technical support number say to keep back up of all your data as a foremost measure. Also keep yourself updated about such attacks – the more you know, the more you will be able to evade them successfully.
For more information about Brother printer please call our helpline number – 0800-014-8024

Some 2,500 years ago, one industrious artist painted hundreds of ceramic Greek vases, adorning them with scenes of military and mythology. This year, the Princeton University Art Museum organized an exhibition of the anonymous Berlin Painter's work, drawing more than 50 of the vases together from 15 private collections from the British Museum to the Vatican's Museo Gregoriano Etrusco.
On Sunday, several dozen students and professors from both the classics and art departments visited the Toledo Museum of Art to see this exhibit.
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see all of these pieces from museums across Europe and the U.S. together in one place," Associate Professor of Classics Eric Hutchinson said.
Titled "The Berlin Painter and His World: Athenian Vase-Painting in the Early Fifth Century B.C.," the exhibit includes dozens of vases painted by the Berlin Painter, as well as more than 80 vessels and statuettes from the time period.
Named when a scholar studied one of his vases at the State Museum of Berlin, the Berlin Painter is characterized by the elegance and precision of his figures.
Senior Rachael Reynolds said she appreciated the artistic technique in his work.
"Kind of amazing how they could actually pull that off," she said.
Some vases were pieced together from fragments, but others were practically intact.
"The condition of most of the vessels is truly amazing," senior Brian Hall said.
"It was a great opportunity to see an exhibit I would not otherwise be able to," he said.
