Super bitter today, but I'm headed out with a friend so hopefully my mood will shift.
I've decided against IOP. Intensive Outpatient Treatment. The longer I stay in someone else's idea of recovery, the longer it's going to take me to recover in my way. I'll go to meetings here and there, but that's about it.
Even when I was fully engaged and writing last year, my family still saw no progress. I sat upstairs everyday writing and drawing after daily therapy. Every day. Instead of encouragement, I got a belligerent family member telling me I was out of control and I was told he couldn't handle me anymore. Then I was kicked out for not being awarded disability n thrown into hospital after hospital. At my lowest, I was slapped with a restraining order from my own family and sentenced to 9 months of mandatory mental health treatment.
All because I was recovering and the medication I was taking didn't have the power to hold back mania. And, again, yes … I was taking them at the time mania hit. But by then it's too late n I'll say it again…no amount of sedation, medication n treatment will stop it. Nothing. It must run its course. In a safe environment. And I assure you, institutions are no longer something I consider to be safe.
So, here I sit for months feeling like I'm the crazy one. Like I'm the asshole. Which only made everything that much worse. Yes, I was furious and I had every right to be. It's called gaslighting. To a dangerous degree.
So much led up to this that family and some friends will never understand. I'm done trying. I'm not putting my energy into this anymore. I'm putting my energy into surrounding myself with those that already understand and those that have been through it and can teach me how to move forward.
I still hold the same beliefs. So, nothing has changed. In fact, they are stronger now more than ever.
I'm just bitter. So much time wasted. For insane reasons. Time that could have been spent flourishing, creating, honing in on skills and gifts, loving, etc. But those that do not understand, fear. And that fear is costly. Very.
So, I ask this, if you don't understand, ask. Don't judge. Chances are you have beliefs that are a bit 'strange' as well. Religion, for one, and that's just touching the surface. I won't get into it, but all I'm saying is that I don't see you being locked up, forced into psychiatry and treated like a caged animal because of your beliefs. I don't see you being thrown in ambulances and having the cops called on you because you fell in love or were heart broken.

It has been a while since our last post… This end of the year was quite busy: exams had arrived (rough time for students) and we also had to prepare our Critical Design Review(CDR). Since, it is now summer time, we will post an article a week until September.
As you may have seen on our facebook page, three weeks ago we were back at DLR, near Munich to present the final design of our experiment (CDR). The experts were quite pleased with our presentation and the work we had accomplished since the Preliminary Design Review. We returned to Stockholm with useful comments and a good feeling that our experiment design was going the right way. Meanwhile, Jorge, our electrical engineer had the chance to stay a few more days to attend a soldering course!
It is now mid-July – and the French National day by the way ! 😉 – some members of the team are still working on ISAAC in Stockholm while the rest of the team has scattered around Europe (but no worries, our time will come!).
All I can say about the ejection system is that it is looking quite good, we almost have the final design. We are currently running stress analyses on the critical parts (the hooks for instance) to verify that they will tolerate the launch loads (which is to say 30 g in the vertical direction).
Here is a view of the ejection system:
While the analyses are being performed, I also have to make drawings of the parts. When these two tasks are over, it will finally be time for ordering, manufacturing and later testing. I hope to show you pictures of the RMU parts soon !

Using herbs does not have to be mysterious. Eat them, make teas and decoctions, tinctures and vinegars. Powder and put in capsules or smoothies.
We do not have to fill the hole in our center with sweets and fat and running after our lives. The Latin word for heart is cor, the root of the word courage. It takes courage to follow the teachings of our hearts, but when we do, we heal and become whole. Ask yourself this: What do I love? Then put that at the center of your life.

Regional Climate Change and Variability
Impacts and Responses
Edited by Matthias Ruth, Kieran Donaghy and Paul Kirshen
Chapter 7: Climate's Long-term Impacts on Urban Infrastructures and Services: The Case of Metro Boston
P. Kirshen, M. Ruth and W. Anderson
P. Kirshen, M. Ruth and W. Anderson INTRODUCTION Infrastructure provides human, environmental and economic services and directly contributes to the quality of life. Services typically include flood control, water supply, drainage, wastewater management, solid and hazardous waste management, energy, transportation, constructed facilities for residential, commercial, and industrial activities, communication and recreation. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE 1998) estimates that in 1992 the total value of US infrastructure investments was approximately 40 percent of GDP and in 1982 was as high as 55 percent of GDP. However, as significant as these values are, they barely begin to reflect the true value of infrastructure. Without infrastructure the US economy could not function. Many human and environmental systems would collapse. Quality of life would be poor. Since most human and economic activities in the US are and will be associated with areas of high population densities, metropolitan infrastructure systems and the services they provide are particularly important in order to achieve and maintain a high quality of life. Yet even though urban infrastructure systems are important and are designed according to socioeconomic and environmental conditions that are very sensitive to climate, there have been no major integrated assessments of the impacts of climate change on metropolitan infrastructure systems and services in the US. The Climate's Long-term Impacts on Metro Boston (CLIMB) project conducted from 1999 to 2004 explores potential changes in infrastructure systems and services in Metro Boston in response to changes in climate, socioeconomic and technological developments. Potential changes play...

President Donald Trump's firing of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Friday and on Twitter sent the Twitterverse into a hilarious meme frenzy.
Surprisingly Trump chose DHS Secretary John Kelly as the new Chief of Staff to replace Reince Priebus. Many believe Trump plans to replace DHS Secretary Kelly with current Attorney General Jeff Sessions, since he recused himself on the Russia investigation. Some pundits believe Trump will replace Sessions with someone more loyal to him, like Rudy Giuliani. In the end, Reince is the third top official to resign or be fired in the Trump administration. First, Michael Flynn was fired, then Sean Spicer was replaced by Anthony Scaramucci and now Reince Preibus was replaced by retired general John Kelly. Who will be next to go in this game of thrones and political musical chairs?
According to the Daily Mail and other recent reports, U.S. police officer Mohamed Noor, who shot dead Australian woman Justine Damond as she stood on a driveway outside her home, may never face criminal charges.
Ms Damond, 40, shot dead in her pyjamas by Minneapolis policeman on July 15
Noor will face the sack if he refuses to speak during internal police investigation
But any statement he gives during investigation will be invalid in a criminal case
Legal technicality is being used to dismiss felony charges current before court
Sounds like a legal technicality that shouldn't exist, but one that protects police from felonious charges. According to the article, any statement the officer provides during the internal investigation cannot be used in a criminal case due to a legal technicality, the Star Tribune reports. This technicality protects police from felonious charges but it also allows them to get away with murder or manslaughter. Just because they provide a statement during an internal investigation, it shouldn't exonerate them of all fault or failure to comply with police procedures and criminal behavior. Hopefully justice will be served, and if he's not charged with manslaughter that he is at least terminated from working as a police officer again. In the end, I'm sure the family will still be able to pursue a civil suit against him.Read more

Hamilton hails 'monumental' Mercedes performance
Lewis Hamilton described Mercedes' performance at the Singapore Grand Prix as "monumental" for the team as he pulled 40 points clear of Sebastian Vettel in the drivers' championship.
Hamilton finished ahead of Max Verstappen and Vettel at Marina Bay Street Circuit, with the German hampered by an ill-judged early pit stop in his bid to close the gap in the standings.
It was mainly plain sailing for the Briton, who only came under pressure during a brief period of traffic late in the race.
Hamilton was beaming after securing pole on Saturday and was joyous once more on Sunday after a victory he did not expect to be celebrating.
MORE: Singapore Grand Prix race results: Lewis Hamilton extends championship lead with crushing win
"It was long, but it was still fun. Driving this track is incredible, especially with these cars," Hamilton is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"I got a great start and was able to control the pack, control the tyres and push where I needed to push.
"It definitely got a little bit interesting towards the end with the backmarkers as you could already feel the draft from the cars when you were five and six seconds behind. And you can't really see the blue flags, they are quite dark.
"Max had an opportunity really. I had to go on massive defensive while still racing the backmarkers."
Discussing the importance of qualifying on pole, Hamilton continued: "We knew they [Ferrari] were going to be spectacular here this weekend and we knew it was going to take something quite special to beat them.
"It was quite a monumental moment for us as a team.
"I definitely didn't think I'd come to Singapore with 10 points more [added to his standings lead], but I'm very grateful."

Yesterday, US Pfizer confirmed it's dropped the £69bn approach. It will now have to wait until the end of November, should it want to make another offer for Astra.

We note Pfizer's confirmation that it no longer intends to make an offer for AstraZeneca. We welcome the opportunity to continue building on the momentum we have already demonstrated as an independent company.

The added things change, the added they break the same.
Workplace accent has been a "thing" since, forever, and it continues to be the case. Our ability is accepted for its plan ethic, and sometimes bodies abrasion it like a brand of honor, which I don't anticipate should be the case.
Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford Graduate Academy of Business, afresh appear the book Dying for a Paycheck: How Modern Management Harms Employee Bloom and Company Performance–and What We Can Do About It.
- 7 percent of advisers accept been ailing because of abode stress.
- 61 percent accept been ailing because of abode stress.
- Job accent costs U.S. administration added than $300 billion.
- 120,000 deaths can be attributed to abode stress.
- As Pfeffer's appellation states, bodies are dying for a paycheck.
You can alarm me old school, but why is this even happening? It's not necessary. I'm not aggravating to draft my horn, but here's the absoluteness for my aggregation and I'm administration it with you because my businesses are affidavit that leaders and managers can abutment a work-life antithesis and accomplish the abode beneath stressful.
- My aggregation and I administer a apartment of brands account millions of dollars.
- We accept a aggregation of 25 full-time professionals on agents and at atomic 3 teams of absolute consultants operating from about the world.
With that, you would anticipate that the aggregate aggregation would be blame 60-80 hour plan weeks. While, admittedly, from time to time it does appear if we're alive on a accurate project, usually that affects alone the associates alive on the project, and it's not common. I don't acquiesce the plan ambiance to be hell's kitchen, and as the CEO, I'm smarter than befitting bodies alive themselves to afterlife for the paycheck.
Vacation is Sacred
I actualization holidays as angelic and a time if my team, including our consultants and partners, unplug, recharge and, a lot of importantly, absorb time with their families or accomplishing whatever they wish to do. Because harder plan is so built-in in our culture, not a year goes by if I'm not reminding anyone on my aggregation that's on vacation and blockage in to not forward me any emails and to absolutely abstract from us. While I acknowledge their dedication, I accomplish abiding to acquiesce for anybody we plan with to yield their vacations, even if we accept to acclimatize our schedules and activity timelines, because bodies can't be at their best if they are exhausted. The physique needs rest.
Fun in the Office
Not too continued ago, my carnality admiral of operations, Yvonne, had taken a few canicule off and if she alternate we discussed abacus added fun in our appointment to lower stress. Despite the actuality that I accept a person's time-off is their time, if we're working, we plan hard. You don't get to abound eight brands to multi-million dollar businesses by not getting ambitious at the office. Still, the appointment can bound become a baneful ambiance if there is not an outlet. Yvonne and I absitively to accompany a little play to work.
Benefits of Having Fun at Work
Once Yvonne and I fabricated the decision, we beatific a apprehension to our aggregation allegorical them of the allowances of a little decompression time at work.
- Play encourages us to access opportunities instead of
- Play promotes
- Play induces the accompaniment of flow-the activity of getting absolutely captivated in what you're
Play helps lower the accent that can actualize a baneful environment. If our bodies are stressed, and there's acute pressure, the body's "fight or flight" acknowledgment bliss in. This acknowledgment is allotment of our nature, and it occurs automatically in the afraid and adrenal-cortical systems. The physique becomes tense, speeds up and that causes the claret burden and affection amount to increase. While this is important, if you're in a alarming situation, it cannot be sustained, and it is this acute accent that leads bodies to their doctors, the hospital or even an aboriginal grave.
How We Brought Play to Work
Once you accept the animal capacity, and aswell business costs due to illnesses or bargain productivity, as a leader, the endure affair you wish to do is accept a accumulation of bodies alive for you that consistently accept their action or flight acknowledgment kicked into top gear. It's a abhorrent mistake. And it was with this ability that Yvonne and I brought in a little added fun.
We bought a basketball apparatus so that bodies can draft off beef and accept a little fun during the day, abnormally if things get a little close and aggregation associates charge to yield a footfall back. We bought a 9-foot putting blooming area bodies can convenance their golf bold if basketball was not their thing. But, wait, Yvonne and I weren't finished. We aswell bought a 4 in a row (Connect Four) that's the admeasurement of a desk, checkers, and of course, if you apprehend my blog, again you already apperceive that we accept a cornhole game.
And, because we affliction about the all-embracing bloom and abundance of our aggregation members, we bought continuing desks and airy our business accoutrements from business accidental to something we alarm "Dress Appropriately." We are now acceptance sneakers and added accidental attire, but apprehend our aggregation to accept a airy but professionally breezy appearance. Every little bit helps and although these accouterment can be subtle, they accomplish a difference.
Candidly, I don't accept all the answers, but what I apperceive is that as a animal getting and agent toxicity and abode accent that is not addressed–positively–affect my aggregation associates and the basal band of my businesses and brands. I aswell apperceive this is consistently a plan in advance and is something that has to advance with the times and ability of our brands and team.
– fun game to play in office

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I slept 7 hours the first night with the blanket and I've been sleeping fine since Friday! You can't imagine how good I feel. I'm actually looking forward to going to bed now. You are a Godsend!

Hello! Love the blankets. … I have to tell you my daughter actually attempted to eat a meatball after the weighted lap blanket was introduced and a few other foods as well!!! I cried and cried sweet tears of joy of course. It is baby steps but she is working towards more successful encounters while eating. Thanks to you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. …Kim
We received the blanket yesterday and my daughter LOVES it! It's so colorful. She had me wrap her in it and was excited to go to bed last night….Patty
I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing for everyone out there at an affordable price and with a great return policy! I am just grateful that we didn't need to return our blanket and that my son is in love and now sleeping peacefully after almost 8 years of restless sleep and waking mom and dad up. I am so happy! I really didn't know if it would work for him but first he fell in love with the camo fabric and now he makes sure he is completely covered by what we call his bean bag blanket. Thank you again for what you're doing. We were never able to purchase a weighted blanket before because of the cost. You are amazing and have changed our lives! I'm sure we will be buying more in the future. Oh, I passed your info onto our school OT program and to the teacher of our autism program.
I hope to send much more business your way!
Good evening. The blankets came today, and I put them on them before I started to read their books. Can you tell me what, besides the pebbles, you put in them? Within 5 minutes they were passed out! Theses kids take up to 45 minutes to fall asleep! I will never say it enough, THANK YOU! The name of your company fits, as hopefully there is peace since they are finally sleeping!

However, when the *Sown & Grown Three Grain Granola (£3.95, 450g) arrived I was excited to give it a go. Firstly, I love the packaging! It's suitable for vegetarians and uses 100% British grains. It is high in fibre, it doesn't contain added salt and it contains: oats, barley, spelt (wheat), almonds, linseeds, pumpkin seeds, rapeseed oil, honey and sugar. There are six varieties to choose from and I have the super tasty three grain granola version.
I love anything containing a mixture of honey, nuts and oats so I knew I would love this one! It's sweet, crunchy and tasty and best of all it is healthy and filling - it keeps me full until lunch. I have it on it's own or with oat milk (I use the Oat Dream milk which is the best oat milk I've tried). I've gone through half the tube already...oops. I'd definitely recommend it. They are available in 300 Sainsbury's stores. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!
Have you tried the Sown & Grown granola/muesli?

"What the heck do you mean?" Ruse said as he frantically checked his pre-programmed course settings. "Computer, course 12!"
Once again the computer replied "Unable to fulfill request."
Ruse looked all over his shuttle trying to find any possible mechanical or programming errors. When he looked up at the viewing monitor, he saw a giant ship.
"Prepare for impact in 5 minutes" his computer alerted.
"Damn-it! I knew I should have gotten a full tune-up on Cybertron!" Ruse shouted as he tried to engage manual controls, which had stopped functioning a few days prior.
The large ship began firing at his shuttle, and was able to slow it down a little, but not enough to stop him.
After a few minutes, the computer gave its final count down "Impact in 10 seconds 9 . . . 8 . . ., 7 . . ."
"This is going to hurt!" Ruse shouted as he braced for impact.
Ruse's shuttle flew right through the back of the ship and across the docking area of the large ship. When he finally came to a complete halt, several Cybertronians greeted him, one of which his recognized.
"Welcome to the LSS Freedom" a gray and black robot replied. I'm Waitstate your captain. Waitstate then pointed to a blue and black robot. This is Maximus Prime, your jailer.
Maximus Prime then escorted Ruse from the docking area.
Once in the interrogation room, Maximus Prime questioned Ruse as to how he came in contact with the LSS Freedom. Ruse told him the same story that he told the fueling station attendant. Recently discharge from the Autobots and on the run from the Decepticons, his ship malfunctioned and crashed into the LSS Freedom. Data from Ruse's shuttle confirmed his story.
Maximus reported to Waitstate after he finished his interrogation with Ruse.
"His story checks out, just like the others'" Maximus reported.
"I'd be much happier if it didn't" Waitstate said rather disappointed. "Keep a close watch over them, three unwanted and unknowing visitors in two days seems rather suspicious."
"Agreed, shall I assign them quarters?" Maximus asked.
"For now it seems that's all we can do," Waitstate said.
Soon after Ruse, Scamp, and Drill Master were assigned quarters, Ruse entered Drill Master's quarters and saw Drill Master and Scamp sitting down.
"So guys, you're newbies too? How did you get to this place?" Ruse asked enthusiastically.
"It's a rather odd story. All we remember is nearly being killed in battle. After that, we were pulled into a giant ship, and when we awoke we were in the docking bay of the LSS, and our bodies had been completely rebuilt" Scamp told him.
"Ookay, the ship is full of crazies, see you guys later!" Ruse replied as he went to his quarters to recharge.
A short amount of time passed, and Ruse opened his eyes. He was trying to rest but he felt compelled to get up. As he looked around the room everything seemed to be distorted. The next thing he knew, he was laying on a table in some place he didn't recognize.
"Oohh, what kind of fuel due they give you on the Freedom?" Ruse stated in a very weary manor. He received no reply.
Ruse sat up and looked around the room, and saw a very nice looking Cybertronian female looking at him.
"Where have you taken me?" Ruse asked her.
"You're home my brother" the mysterious female replied.
"Home? What do you mean home?"

Aqua Bubble 1.1
A hundred years ago, Aquatic built his little cave near a wonderful waterfall. But one day he faced a dangerous problem. The cave started to flood under the invasion of aqua bubbles. Being unable to stop the bubbles on his own, Aquatic cried out for help.
You can become his saviour and stop the flood by using all possible means to destroy aqua bubbles. Put three or more aqua bubbles of the same colour together so that they burst. Make sure that less and less bubbles are present in the cave. You can check how things are going by looking at a water-meter. The more bubbles you destroy, the higher the level of water in the water-meter becomes. When it reaches the top, a level is completed.
The bubbles' intrusion grows into a war with the appearance of black bubbles, which can't be burst in the usual way. You can only get rid of black aqua bubbles by blowing them up with a bomb bonus. Aquatic will help you by providing bonuses and warnings in case of danger. Protect the innocent creature and rescue his little house!

Auto Insurance Cost Shifting
Auto insurance cost shifting is a practice that has become more common in the medical industry. Cost shifting is something hospitals do to recover their losses on public health insurance programs. They tend to try to recover these costs from auto insurance companies. A new study released by the Insurance Research Council suggests that these shifts have resulted in rising auto injury claim costs and higher expenses taken on by insurers.
Low reimbursements from Medicaid and Medicare have caused hospitals to seek other ways to make up their losses. Shifting their costs onto auto insurers has been the solution, according to the IRC report. This trend has prompted many of the nation's major insurance providers to take a closer look at hospital bills and negotiate fees prior to payment, making it harder to find a cheap auto insurance rate.
Cost Shifting in Bodily Injury Claims
The report issued by the Insurance Research Council estimates that in 2007 alone, cost shifting in the 38 tort and add on states resulted in as much as $1.2 billion in excess charges tacked on to fees paid out by insurers in auto insurance injury claims [1]. The entire financial impact of cost shifting across the board, including that which might be found in other insurance claim types and in the no fault states, is unknown but is likely to be much greater. According to the IRC, there has long been a feeling in the insurance industry that hospitals routinely use this tactic to recover losses incurred by payment shortages from public health programs. This report is the first to address the scope of the impact of that tactic and to try to measure its financial cost to the industry.
With the release of this report, the IRC is calling for supportive laws at the state level to better police hospitals and hold them accountable for their billing practices. Ultimately, the excess costs paid out by insurance providers end up coming back to policy subscribers, so the issue is certainly one of public interest as well. Having something in place to safeguard these payments and to ensure that excessive billing is eradicated would seemingly help auto insurance consumers save a great deal of money over the long run.
According to the IRC, the practice of hospital cost shifting to auto injury claims underscores the complexity of the sometimes tenuous relationship between the property casualty industry and the overall health insurance and health care system. Researchers are only now beginning to come up with some numbers to estimate the scope of the practice by hospitals. Its full impact may not be known for years.
Hospital Reimbursement in Maryland
In order to provide the framework for their study, the IRC developed a statistical model to denote average hospital charges for auto injury claims in various states. Some of the key cost predictors uncovered by the model are the state's percentage of residents with no health insurance and the percentage of that state's population covered by Medicaid. In order to come up with an estimate for hospital cost shifting to auto injury claims, the study compared average charges hospitals came up with for bodily injury claims in the state of Maryland with those in 38 other states.
Maryland was ideally suited for the study since it has regulated hospital reimbursement rates for all hospital purchases since the 1970s. Ever since this regulation has been in place, the practice of cost shifting has virtually been nonexistent. Maryland's approach and the resulting changes in these average costs uniquely position it for comparison with other states in the study.
In every area it studied, the IRC found average costs in the state of Maryland to be much lower than those in the other states. Significantly, the study also noted that the average costs of expensive diagnostic procedures performed in Maryland hospitals were much lower than the averages in other states, but when those same procedures were performed outside of hospitals, the average costs came much closer together [1].
IRC Cost Shift Study Implications
The study by the Insurance Research Council was based on a substantial sample of cases, with insurers representing over half of the domestic private passenger market participating. The implications of the study are markedly clear. With a regulated state like Maryland serving as a foil for unregulated states, the results of the report represent a strong case for state level regulation of hospital insurance billing practices across the country.
Whether any major changes ever come out as a result of the study are unclear. The IRC itself doubts that any other states will adopt measures like those taken by the state of Maryland. However, the study does confirm for a lot of industry leaders what they had long suspected about hospital billing practices that impact the price of auto insurance.

Is this a serious threat
PSCrypt ransomware will shortly start encoding your files, as it's ransomware. It's a very severe infection that can permanently stop you from opening your files. Because of this, and the fact that infection happens pretty easily, data encoding malicious software is considered to be a very harmful threat. A big factor in a successful ransomware infiltration is user carelessness, as contamination often happens when users open malicious email attachments, press on dubious ads and fall for bogus 'downloads'. Soon after contamination, the encoding process will be performed, and afterwards, cyber criminals will demand that you pay a ransom if you want to recover your files. The amount of money asked depends on the ransomware, some request thousands of dollars, some for much less. Think carefully before agreeing to pay, even if it asks for a small amount. Who's going to stop crooks from taking your money, without providing you a decoding utility. We wouldn't be surprised if you're left with encrypted data, and there would be plenty more like you. This may easily happen again, so instead of complying with the demands, think about investing into backup. There are many options, and you'll certainly be able to find the one best matching you. And if by accident you had made copies of your data before the contamination took place, simply terminate PSCrypt ransomware and then proceed to data restoration. These kinds of contaminations aren't going away any time soon, so you will have to be ready. In order to guard a device, one should always be ready to come across potential threats, becoming informed about their spread methods.

How does data encoding malware spread
Typically, a lot of data encrypting malicious software prefer to use infected email attachments and ads, and bogus downloads to corrupt systems, even though there are exceptions. More elaborate methods can be used too, however.
Since one of the ways you can get an infection is through email attachments, try and remember if you have recently downloaded something weird from an email. You open the email, download and open the attachment and the file encoding malicious software is now able to begin the encryption process. Cyber criminals can make those emails quite convincing, normally using delicate topics like money and taxes, which is why it isn't that shocking that those attachments are opened. When you're dealing with unfamiliar sender emails, be on the look out for specific signs that it could be dangerous, such as mistakes in grammar, strong suggestion to open the attachment. A company whose email is important enough to open would not use general greetings, and would use your name instead. Do not be shocked to see known company names (Amazon, eBay, PayPal) be used, because when people notice a familiar name, they let down their guard. It may have also been the case that you pressed on the wrong ad when on a dubious site, or downloaded from a source that you should have avoided. Certain adverts may be hiding malware, so it is best if you refrain from clicking on them when visiting dubious reputation web pages. And stick to valid pages for downloads. Sources like ads and pop-ups are infamous for being not trustworthy sources, so avoid downloading anything from them. If an application was in need of an update, you would be notified through the program itself, not through your browser, and commonly they update without your intervention anyway.
What does it do?
What makes data encrypting malicious programs so damaging is that it can encrypt your files and permanently prevent you from accessing them. And it takes minutes to have your files encoded. Once your files have been encrypted by this file encoding malicious software, you'll notice that they have a file extension. Your data will be locked using strong encryption algorithms, which are not always possible to break. A ransom note will appear once the encryption process has been completed, and the situation should be clearer. The ransom note will demand that you pay for a decryption tool but our recommendation would be to ignore the requests. The crooks could simply take your money, they won't feel obligated to help you. The money you supply hackers with would also finance their future data encrypting malware projects. These types of infections are believe to have made $1 billion in 2016, and such big amounts of money will just attract more people who want to earn easy money. Instead of paying hackers money, invest the money into backup. These kinds of infections could reoccur again, but if you had backup, file loss would not be a possibility. If you have decided to ignore the requests, proceed to eliminate PSCrypt ransomware if it is still present on the system. And try to familiarize with how these types of infections are distributed, so that this doesn't occur.
PSCrypt ransomware removal
The presence of malicious program removal software will be required to check if the threat is still present on the device, and in case it is, to get rid of it. If you are reading this, you might not be the most computer-savvy person, which means you might end up harming your device if you try to uninstall PSCrypt ransomware yourself. Instead of risking harm your system, implement valid removal software. Those tools are designed to locate and uninstall PSCrypt ransomware, as well as similar threats. So that you know where to start, guidelines below this report have been placed to help you. The program isn't, however, capable of restoring your data, it'll only remove the infection for you. Although in certain cases, malicious software researchers develop free decryptors, if the data encoding malicious software is possible to decrypt.

Happy Ten on Ten!
Finding life and beauty in the ordinary things of our day to day!
Well, today was pretty low-key as you can see... not a whole lot to report. Well, that's not entirely true, but I feel like I've been so neglectful of this space for so long that I actually have too many things I want to write about and just have know idea where to start... so I figured I'd just start with today. Like I said, totally low-key. Hung out at home doing a few of my favorite things. Baking. Reorganizing... And sorting through our ever so slow accumulation of adorable little girl / nursery items. All in all, it was a great day. :)

Forced absence from Europa League frustrates Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Arsenal in January, played for former club Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this season and UEFA's 'cup-tied' rule prevents him from representing his new team in Europe for the rest of the season.football Updated: Mar 13, 2018 16:38 IST
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said that his forced absence from the club's Europa League campaign this season was the main reason for a "frustrating" start to life at London.
Aubameyang, who joined Arsenal in January, played for former club Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this season and UEFA's 'cup-tied' rule prevents him from representing his new team in Europe for the rest of the season.
"I am really frustrated because the rules are a bit... I don't know how to say in English but I am disappointed because I can't help my team," Aubameyang told British media.
"When I was in Dortmund, I was playing every three days but now I play once a week or have a long time between games. It is not easy... that's life. I have to deal with it."
Gabon international Aubameyang has scored three Premier League goals in five starts for the club, including in the 3-0 league win over Watford last Sunday.
"I didn't play a lot in January so it was difficult to find the rhythm. Now I'm feeling better. I work hard, I work a lot in the last weeks and I am happy because I feel better," he added.
The 28-year-old will watch from the stands as his team mates take on AC Milan in the second leg of their Europa League last 16 clash at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday. Arsenal beat AC Milan 2-0 in the first leg.
Striker Danny Welbeck, who is tasked with leading Arsenal's line in Europe in the absence of Aubameyang and the injured Alexandre Lacazette, said he was relishing the competition with his fellow forwards.
"It's competition and I embrace it," Welbeck said. "Ever since I was a kid, I've been playing for an academy with scouts all over the world that are looking for top players to come in.
"You have competition throughout your whole life and it only makes you better... gives you extra motivation."
Welbeck has struggled with hip and groin injuries this season and has not found the net since Arsenal's 4-2 FA Cup third round defeat by Nottingham Forest in January.
"My mindset's focused on looking forward, bettering myself, getting on the pitch, on the training pitch, doing what I can do to improve myself."

Someone once told me that creating a statue is easy, just throw away all the clay you don't need. Good advice for branding as well.
Branding requires sacrifice. Companies with successful brands willingly carve away the minutia, and sculpt away those pieces of clay they won't need. To define a brand persona requires the bravery to remove all the unnecessary clay to sharpen your image. Timidity and indecision will create an organization that will look like, well, an indiscernible lump of clay. Your target audience will view you as through a cloudy lens.
Some organizations believe the path to success is to be all things to all people. A case in point is a potential client that came in to the office for a cup of coffee and a discussion about branding. First thing I was handed was the business card. It listed no less than five different key competencies, all presented in equal weight. They were even listed in alphabetical order so as to make sure not one competency would seem more important than any other. The question was how do they penetrate their target market. They had great capabilities and still couldn't garner the amount of business the competition does. Competencies and capabilities are not a brand. They are product offerings.
Your brand is your story, and how people relate to your organization in rational and emotional ways. Your story needs to be sharp and to the point. Great brands are simple, easy to understand and can be told in a brief elevator conversation.
The simple idea that a sculptor throws away the clay they don't need came from an artist friend when asked about their creative process. As you work through your creative process to define your brand, be a sculptor. Throw away what's not important or relevant to your core brand. The challenge will be how much clay and which parts you throw away, but at least you will be on the right track

I've never been to Brisbane, but I can guarantee it's got the best music in Australia right now. There's glistening synth punk, spleen-splitting punk rock, and garage rock that used to be around when The Hard-Ons were considered offensive. Basically, Brissy is full of the kind of music your Mum would hate, or love. I don't know your Mum, she could be really cool. To expand, it appears like Brisbane is the last bastion of consistently authentic music, whatever the genre might be.
At the centre of all this is Matt Kennedy, a guy who's been plugging around the area for a long time. And when I say long time, I don't mean that he was there when Royal Headache were playing shows, I mean he was there when Green Day were considered socially relevant. He's played in a variety of bands, most famously the decrepit and gnarled lo-fi depression of Kitchen's Floor. He's also the man behind Eternal Soundcheck, a record label and distribution service that have lent a helping hand to the likes of R.I.P Society, Tenth Court and Cool Death, amongst many others. On the label side, he's brought out records by The Friendsters, Satanic Rockers and Fig. From the outpost of Brisbane, this bloke has been a central figure in breathing life into not just his local area, but all of Australia, most likely putting in the hard yards at a time when no one else was either.
So it comes as no surprise that folks would've been jumping out of their pub stools to contribute to EXCESS, Mr. Kennedy's solo electro-face-fuck project. A true who's-who of Brisbane's most glorious bands has been compiled to provide vocals for this album, and when reading through the list of guests, a rush of air will inexplicably escape from your mouth. Daniel and Sarah of Blank Realm, Mark Spinks of Gravel Samwidge, Sean and Chris of Multiple Man and Andrew McLellan of Primitive Motion are just a few of the names to appear.
However, whilst each name that appears causes blood to rush to the head, it cannot be overstated that these folks are all guests on what is ultimately Matt's project. Although each character is unique, they only build towards the final product, a single aesthetic that is remarkably different from the rest of the bands and projects on display. EXCESS is thrust from the middle of a sci-fi epic, one in which dyed corn-syrup blood and animal intestines are used to the most graphic extent possible. It's like the most tense parts of The Lost Boys and Aliens are clashing amongst each other to the sound of off-kilter pop and church bells, slithering synths bellowing and chiming at a seemingly random pace.
As Gerald Keaney remarks that "A high quality stereo system is required to appreciate this track…", you can't help but believe that sentiment extends to the rest of the album. Not because the album is faulty and soft, and needs to be re-mastered, but rather because the twisting, unpredictable and lushly dystopian soundscapes of EXCESS deserve to be appreciated in such an environment. To play it on anything less is an insult.
Maybe Matt wants to escape from Brisbane. I'd hope not – who else would act as a facilitator of all the amazing music blossoming from that region. But by providing this mutating beast of a tape, and for all his previous saintly endeavours, he's certainly earned himself a holiday.
