Your child on Facebook: learn about the privacy settings
Security matters to everyone, however security of our children is our top priority. We make sure that they are safe at school, home, and on the streets. Equally we need to provide them with a safe experience in the cyberworld. Recently, we published a blog about general online security of the children, which suggested that you take time and help your child with privacy settings on Facebook. Don't worry, if you have no clue where to start, we will guide you through the labyrinth of sophisticated security and privacy settings settings. Follow our tips to secure yourself and your child on the most popular social network.
Privacy settings
Like other Internet giants, Facebook has been especially vulnerable to criticisms about privacy. In particular, critics have complained that even if you deactivate your account, the information can still remain on the network and be subject to web searches.~ comments Mashable in the article on recent Facebook privacy update
Following users' complaints regarding privacy issues, Facebook decided to change the default settings of your status updates to be the visible for Friends only instead of Public. This however applies to Facebook newbies only! So if you and your children are already users, you still have a job to do!
Facebook regularly updates its settings and as a result your profile settings can be restored to the default. In terms of privacy it means: Everything is PUBLIC. Therefore it's extremely important to review your profile regularly . You will not be able to influence everything, however there are an advanced number of settings that can be fully controlled by you. The three basic areas that you should focus on are:
- 1. Who can see your posts and images?
- 2. Who can contact you?
- 3. How you can help your child block harassing Facebook friends.
You will find this setting in the right top corner on the blue bar, in the Privacy Shortcuts section. Click on the See More Settings to open the window below and follow our suggestions.
Does your fitness app track more than your daily workouts?
For the last few years, I have used an app on my Android smartphone to log my training runs. It tracks the distance I ran, the route I took, my running pace, and calories burned. If I want to, I can link it with Facebook or other social networks and share my workouts, or I can pay to have my stats broadcast live, so for example, during a race, my family can follow my progress.
Using an app like this is motivating and helps me to organize my training better, but until recently I had never considered the privacy and security issues surrounding fitness tracking devices and apps.
"Privacy advocates warn that consumers aren't always aware of how sensitive the data the apps collect can be or what privacy protections exist," reported The Washington Post yesterday.
My smartphone is protected by avast! Mobile Security, so I decided to take a closer look at my apps with the Privacy Advisor feature. Privacy Advisor scans the apps in my device and tells me what kinds of information they collect. Application Management tells me what permissions individual apps require. My fitness app requires me to give these permissions:
- Track GPS location
- Read contact data
- Access accounts
Not too bad; at least when I compare it to the fitness app that came with the phone.
My fitness app respects my privacy, but many health and fitness apps sell personal information like usernames, names and email addresses, and information like medical symptom searches, zip codes, geo-location, gender identifiers, and dietary and workout habits. A Federal Trade Commission (FTC) study revealed that ad companies and data miners are among the third parties that buy this data.
Already some employers are rewarding their workers with cheaper insurance plans for joining fitness programs. But there is worry that the data collected could be pieced together to create profiles that would backfire. It's fine when you're healthy for your fitness, health and medical data to determine things like insurance rates or drug pricing, but what if your health declines?
The FTC "is concerned consumers could be penalized based on health data; for instance, a financial institution might adjust credit ratings based on the fact someone has a disease."
"Information about consumers most intimate health conditions is going to be sold to the highest bidder," Jeffrey Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, told the Washington Post. "Employers might get access to it, insurers might get access to it, or mortgage lenders — which could lead to a vast array of negative discriminatory practices."

The 10 Commandments of Mobile Privacy
From governments to thieves to your wife – it seems that everyone has access to your private data.
If you have a smartphone or tablet, people around you can discover your most deeply held secrets. You put all your private data and personal information there and… it's at risk. The possibility of losing your phone or getting robbed is a major concern.
Is there anything that we can do to protect our private data? Some skeptics say no. I'm an optimist; I think there is always a way. Working for a security company makes us think that there is always a way to protect ourselves, to avoid danger, and to care about other users.
I've being collecting info for what I call the 10 Commandments for mobile privacy. Here are simple steps to help protect your privacy:
- 1. Use a PIN, password or pattern in your device. I'm lucky to have a phone where the numbers change their position on the screen and make the lockscreen even more secure. There are some apps that make your password "random" (obeying rules you've previously set).
- 2. Lock your most private apps. Lock your log in data but also your own messages, emails, personal notes, contacts, everything is in your pocket. offers the feature to secure even more sensitive parts of your device with the avast! Mobile Security App Locker that automatically asks for a PIN when you start the app.
- 3. Do not save banking or credit card credentials in your phone or, at least, not in the mobile browsers. Some banks, at least here in Brazil, have their own mobile app that never saves the passwords or PINs. Now, for Android, there are free password managers that adds a new security layer while browsing.
- 4. Do not be a happy clicker. People who expose themselves to scams or spam links, who download each single app they see from any kind of source put themselves at risk. OK, you'll say this is not you. But, do you think twice on clicking in social media links or shares?
- 5. Do not take, send, save or share nude photos. No, this is not a moral commandment. It's a privacy one. Read more…
Digital snoop screams at baby through baby monitor
As more gadgets get WiFi-connected, there could be serious implications for personal and home security.
Baby monitor hijacked
A new case of a baby monitor being hijacked was reported last week in a Cincinnati, Ohio home. Fox19 news reported that the Schreck family was fast asleep when an unfamiliar voice woke up Mrs. Schreck. She grabbed her cell phone to check on the wireless IP camera used to monitor her 10-month-old daughter Emma's room. The camera was moving, seemingly by itself. A man's voice started screaming, 'Wake up baby. Wake up baby.'
This incident is similar to one that occurred in August 2013 when a disturbed stranger screamed obscenities at a sleeping toddler through the baby monitor. The bugs in the Foscam camera that was used have since been discovered and updates are on the company website. Make sure you update your camera's firmware as soon as possible.
The Internet of Things
"Smart" gadgets like IP camera video feeds are used to monitor children, property, and pets. If the camera isn't secure, a hacker or creepy Peeping Tom can use them to spy on you and your family, watch recorded images, and even find out when the coast is clear so they can break in. Other smart gadgets like home appliances, TVs, pacemakers, cars, etc. – are vulnerable to cyber attacks. This may be a low-risk threat now, but as more gadgets get WiFi-connected, there could be serious implications for personal and home security.
Tips to secure your home cameras against digital snooping
- Secure your home wireless router. Look for a camera that supports current wireless security protocols, like WPA2.
- Use a unique password. Don't be tempted to turn off the password requirement on your camera. If you're not sure what a strong password looks like, read our blog about creating strong passwords.
- Use a secure WiFi connection. Your camera's mobile app may not be encrypted, so using it on an unsecured WiFi network could give troublemakers an open door to your video feed or your password. Change the settings on your mobile device so that it doesn't automatically connect to a public WiFi hotspot. Protect your privacy by using avast! SecureLine VPN on your Android phone or iPhone. If you don't know what a VPN is, read our blog post explaining what a VPN can do for you.
The FTC has more tips for securing your IP camera on their site.

Oversharers: The NSA Loves Your Openness and the Data You Share via Apps
"It has become second nature to connect various apps like Instagram, SocialCam, Angry Birds, CityVille, and Spotify to your Facebook ID. You just click 'agree' without even really knowing what you are agreeing to. What you don't realize is that social apps linked to your Facebook profile can pretty much track your and your friends' whole life."
This quote, from Christian Sigl (co-founder of secure.me, which is now part of AVAST), originally appeared in Mashable in September, 2012.
Back then, we wanted to give users a heads-up and create awareness to think twice before sharing personal data with apps – regardless if via smartphone or the Web. Part of the message was that you never know what can happen with your data and in whose hands it could end up in.
Today, we know where the data went: The NSA and its British counterpart, GCHQ, have accessed data from Angry Birds and other smartphone and tablet apps, including sensitive information like age, location, education level and sexual orientation. The data accessed was collected directly from phones including geolocation, handset model, handset ID, software version and more – but personal information like sexual orientation, age and education level probably came from social media connect options.
Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds, has reacted and denied that they provide data to the NSA. Instead, they point out that they will rethink relationships with the ad networks they work with. "The alleged surveillance may be conducted through third party advertising networks used by millions of commercial web sites and mobile applications across all industries," Rovio announced.
Regardless of how this data landed on NSA desks, giving away your customer's personally identifiable information to a third-party organization is never a good move.
Users couldn't really have done anything to avoid their data from ending up with the NSA, the only preventative action that could have been taken would have been limiting the amount of personal data that could be collected from social networks. Social network data isn't meta data, this is information people share voluntarily. So of course, we know today that the NSA can access very sensitive and personal information if they want to – they will find a way if you're of interest to them. Most of us aren't though and one thing you can do to limit the amount of data that's collected is to avoid online oversharing with apps and social networks.

Data Privacy Day at AVAST
Tuesday, January 28 is Data Privacy Day, an international effort to empower and educate people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint. Here at AVAST, we will take the whole week to talk about privacy, and how we can make the protection of privacy and data a greater priority in our lives.
Make sure you take the My Privacy IQ quiz to test your knowledge (and maybe win a free license and avast! teddy.)
What is the difference between privacy and security?
While privacy and security overlap in certain ways, they are distinct concepts. Security is defined as "freedom from danger or risk" and "precautions to guard against crime, attack, etc." You use antivirus software to help protect against a security breach or having your personal data stolen by cybercrooks.
Privacy is "the state of being free from intrusion or disturbance in one's private life." This summer, we saw how closely connected these two concepts are when Edward Snowden revealed, through a security breach, how big data companies were complicit with the NSA snooping into normal people's private lives.
What is your Privacy IQ? Take our quiz and find out!
AVAST Software is proud to be a champion of Data Privacy Day, celebrated every year on January 28th. We encourage you to make protecting privacy and data a greater priority. Read on to find out if you are a Privacy Pro!
Find out if you are a Privacy Pro or if you need to learn more to protect your personal information online by taking the My Privacy IQ Quiz. Take the quiz here, by submitting your answers, as a comment to this blog post. The first 5 participants who will answer all questions correctly win avast! SecureLine VPN for Android or iOS or an avast! teddy bear. Alternatively you can enter a quiz at our Facebook here. Quiz ends on Monday, February 3rd
My Privacy IQ quiz
1) Do privacy policies guarantee that your information will be kept private?
A. Yes
B. No
Has the NSA installed spyware on your new computer before you opened the box?
An article in German magazine Der Spiegel stated that the NSA is capable of installing backdoors on devices by Juniper Networks (firewall manufacturer), Cisco and Huawei (giant network device manufacturers), and also, Dell. According to the article, a special hacking team intercepted some new computer deliveries to secretly install spyware in these machines. Der Spiegel did not reveal how they got access to this information, although it's public that they have access to secret information leaked by the former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden.
The magazine has access to secret documents describing a method of direct attack on an end-user device called "interdiction." If a person was being investigated and bought a new computer, the Tailored Access Operations division (TAO) of the NSA could have access to it. They collect online information using a tool called XKeyscore, like the British journal The Guardian revealed last July. They also are able to redirect the internet traffic to their own servers. Der Spiegel said that this redirection occured with high success (50%) when people were browsing the professional network LinkedIn.
But I'm not interesting enough…
Ok. You'll say that you're not included in the "interesting" people to be investigated by the NSA. What you need to know, quickly, is that there are tons of spyware and behavior monitoring tools being distributed all over the world. Our team detected more than 6 million of them disguised as toolbars for browsers. These nasties monitor everything from your browser habits to your personal information.
Similar to NSA, some "security companies" do this dirty job of monitoring. Did you read about avast! BrowserCleaner yet? You can get rid of spyware toolbars using this tool inside avast! Antivirus products, or you can download the standalone version here. Learn more about it in this blog entry. And, of course, do not forget to alert your friends and family.

AVAST response to open letter from Bits of Freedom
Recently an open letter from Bits of Freedom, a group comprised of 24 digital rights organizations and academics, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in the US and Netzpolitik.org in Germany, was sent to security software vendors. AVAST did not receive the letter "officially," although our company was listed among the vendors.
The purpose of the open letter was to request a clarification of our policy on the use of software for the purpose of government-sanctioned surveillance of its citizens. In other words, do we look the other way when governments or law enforcement agencies install malware on private citizens' personal computers to collect data?
It has become very clear that governments will do anything to gain access to as much information as possible," says Bits of Freedom's Ton Siedsma. "Requests like these, coming from law enforcement agencies or secret services, lower the general level of protection of all users of antivirus software. The software isn't just used by suspects, but by all of us. This is something to be very concerned about, so we have asked the antivirus software vendors for transparency on this matter.
AVAST's Chief Technology Officer, Ondřej Vlček, responded to their questions:
1. Have you ever detected the use of software by any government (or state actor) for the purpose of surveillance?
Yes, we have had incidences where it became apparent that software our programs detected was in fact surveillance software. Although it's not always 100% clear who is behind this, in some cases we had reasons to believe that it was distributed by government institutions.
2. Have you ever been approached with a request by a government, requesting that the presence of specific software is not detected, or if detected, not notified to the user of your software? And if so, could you provide information on the legal basis of this request, the specific kind of software you were supposed to allow and the period of time which you were supposed to allow this use?
No. We have never been approached by any government agency, but we also don't think that this realistically would ever happen. It would be very risky for a government agency to ask antivirus companies to ignore and not detect their malware. They can't expect that security companies would keep this information to themselves; this would therefore risk the news about their malware getting leaked to the media faster than they can think.
3. Have you ever granted such a request? If so, could you provide the same information as in the point mentioned above and the considerations which led to the decision to comply with the request from the government?
No, we have never granted such a request.
4. Could you clarify how you would respond to such a request in the future?
The security and privacy of our users has been the core of our business for 25 years. Whenever we detect malware, regardless of its origin or type, we always protect our users. This includes malware from governments and official institutions – if we detect the malware, no matter the origin of the creator, we create a solution to protect our users.

AES E-Library
Acoustic Radiation of a Cone-Type Loudspeaker by the Finite Element Method—Acoustic Characteristics and Sound Field Display
The acoustic characteristics of an axisymmetric cone-type loudspeaker mounted in a rigid infinite baffle is calculated by applying the finite element method to the elastic shells (cone, edge, etc.) and the acoustic concavity in front of the shells. Normalized sound-pressure response, directivity function, driving point impedance, vibration behavior of the cone-diaphragm, sound-pressure distribution in the concavity, and near-field and far-field acoustic radiation are presented for discussion. The sound pressure distribution in the concavity and the near-field are clearly visualized by the computer graphics technique. The calculated results are compared with the measured values of the far-field sound-pressure responses and the electrical impedance responses.

"Nursing advocates are pushing very hard for expanded scope of practice," says John Rowe, MD, a former CEO of Aetna, and before that of Mount Sinai New York University Health, who now teaches at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. "They want to pull those barriers down, they want payers to pay nurses directly and pay them more, and they want to have leadership roles, be team leaders. But on the other side, you have physician advocates who are concerned about losing turf. These two sides are fighting with each other.
"Physicians think nurses believe they are effective substitutes for physicians. But physicians say they train longer, more intensely than nurses so they must know more. And they also think, though they don't say, that you have to be a better student to get into medical school as opposed to a nursing school, so physicians start their careers with greater capacity."
It's exasperating, says Rowe, who says both sides end up yelling at him. "Of course doctors know more. But I don't think doctors know how to provide core components of primary care better than an advanced practice nurse. Doctors know more about other things, and what we should do is have those doctors do those other things.
"I'm not a nursing advocate; I'm not physician advocate. It's about the patients, and doctors and nurses should think about these issues from that point of view," he says.
Rowe has thought about it a lot. He was one of the 18 committee members who produced last fall's 701-page Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, a document many say changed the entire conversation about the role of the nurse in healthcare. Rowe says there are hundreds of articles "summarizing research over decades that clearly show, when it comes to core components of primary care, an advanced practice [nurse] can do it as well as a physician."

The following text is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message on World Mental Health Day, observed on 10 October 2011:
"Mental disorders occur in all cultures and at all stages of life. They are risk factors for, or consequences of, many other health problems, and are too often associated with poverty, marginalization and social disadvantage. They also appear more frequently in the midst of conflict and disasters.
Health systems around the world face enormous challenges in delivering mental health care and protecting the human rights of people with severe disorders. The resources available are insufficient, inequitably distributed and inefficiently used. As a result, a large majority of people with mental disorders receive no care at all.
Scaling-up services should be a priority. The World Health Organization's Mental Health Gap Action Programme, launched this month, identifies the strategies needed for scaling up mental health care using cost-effective interventions in resource-constrained settings. The Programme calls on all partners -- Governments, multilateral agencies, donors, public health organizations, mental health professionals and consumer groups -- to join together for advocacy and action to make this happen.
More broadly, we must do more to integrate mental health awareness into all aspects of health and social policy, health-system planning, and primary and secondary general health care. Mental health is of paramount important for personal well-being, family relationships and an individual's ability to contribute to society. On this World Mental Health Day, let us recognize that there can be no health without mental health."
Nothing About Us, Without Us - Voices from the Global South
28th-29th November 2015
Movement For Global Mental Health is delighted to announce the fourth Global Mental Health Summit to be held at the TISS Campus in Mumbai, India on the 28th and 29th of November 2015. The focus of this year's Global Health Summit, themed "Nothing About Us, Without Us", will be driven mainly by persons living with mental health issues from different social, cultural and educational ecosystems. The aim is to bring to the forefront voices of individuals from marginalized backgrounds, those who are rarely represented in discussions related to the mental health agenda.
We invite contributions (for both the scientific and non-scientific sessions that include theatre, short films, music, dance and other art forms) that highlight the issues faced by people living with mental health issues. People interested in attending and presenting at the Summit should contact the secreatariat at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sent in 1310 to King Edward II, the letter suggests Robert the Bruce was willing to offer any terms to prevent an advancing English army marching into the heart of Scotland.
However, he made clear that the English would have to recognise Scottish independence and asserted his God-given authority as king of Scots, addressing Edward II as one monarch to another.
The bold move appeared to pay off as Edward II took his army south again to Berwick where he remained until July 1311.
When he finally returned north three years later, he was "sent homeward tae think again" after being humiliated at Bannockburn, the 700th anniversary of which is being celebrated next year shortly before the Scottish independence referendum....

Patterns, Characteristics, and Correlates of Adolescent Bully-Victims in Urban Tanzania
Bullying is an understudied issue of public health importance in low-income countries. In the present study, we aimed to explore social and demographic factors associated with bullying among adolescents in a low-income country urban setting. We divided a sample of 2,154 school-attending adolescents into two groups, those who had been bullied during a 30-day period and those who were not. We considered age, sex, mental health, parent-relationship, hunger and social deprivation and truancy in our comparison of these two groups using logistic regression. Multinomial regression was also used to determine if there was a dose response relationship between bullying frequency and the aforementioned selected variables. We found that school-attending adolescents in Dar es Salaam were more likely to be truant, suffer from mental health problems and have experienced hunger. Adolescents who had parents which were more aware of their free time activities, were less likely to report being bullied. There were also significant differences in bullying frequency and certain variables, most notably with truancy, economic and social deprivation, and signs of depression. School settings in Dar es Salaam offer a potential for intervening in what are potentially harmful effects of bullying behavior among bully victims.

Seat covers are awesome. Tight fit at first but with a little time I'm sure they will stretch out for a better fit. Really brings the seat back to life and tightens it up to make it comfortable just like new. Plus if u have dogs and are tired of vacuuming those hard to get Pyr hairs out of seat and existing covers! Wipe down for easy cleaning and a great look. Plus you can slide right in and out of truck much easier. Wish there was more literature and details for the cargo pockets!

Just change the fourth byte in the file from 02 to 0d (which is hex for 13) in any hex editor.
EDIT: in the demo file, you need to change from 13 to 2, so it's actually reverse.

Well, I'm returning the bike tomorrow after owning it less than two weeks.
The pedal fell off today (the physical bolt broke, poor quality).
The tires are FOAM, not rubber, so when my daughter tries to ride they won't catch on the concrete. It takes an adult giving her a little push to get started.
The streamers came out before she even got outside for her first ride.
I realize you get what you pay for. I simply didn't realize I wouldn't even get a functional bike! AWFUL!!! We are returning the bike tomorrow and spending the extra cash on a better bike.
They really should be more specific about the tires. We were very dissapointed when we opened it and saw the cheap foam tires and dirty white wheels. I don't reccomend buying this bike, spend the extra money and get a better one with RUBBER TIRES!!!!
The tires are foam, what a joke! Everything on it is poor quality. The seat is very hard and flemsy. Mine was all scratched up straight out the box.(great concern bc of rust) I dont live close to a walmart, so I bought online. I am very dissatisfied. Please spend a little bit more money to buy a bike of better quality.
The bikes directions were vary difficult to follow and it was missing a piece to the bike but we had a extra nut here. Also the box came damaged and opened and taped all up. Vary disappointed in that and the directions. But the bike itself is nice and our granddaughter luvs it.
1. walmart assembled the bike in store, the associate was very helpful and when the guy who usually assembles the bikes wasnt around, he found someone else who could, and the other guy assembled it for me
2. my toddler (she's not 2.5 yet), can ride it. it's fairly smooth. there is no fly wheel, which means, if you pedal back, the bicycle goes back. that's good for us when we need to navigate around tight spaces
The bike is nice but the picture online was pink with princesses and the our bike has ponies on it. Everything else was the same. Only problem we had was that we bought a pink princess helmet and bell to go with it that we gave on her birthday, the bike came the following week. She is 2 so I don't think she minds it.
Didn't even unpack it before I returned it. I missed the reviews when I ordered it and never would have thought that the bike had foam tires. Found a nice HUFFY bike for the same price and my little girl loves it (and the tires are inflatable).
No coaster brakes, and these are foam tires. If you were riding indoors only, this might be fine, but honestly, I feel horrible about buying this bike for my daughter. What a disappointment.
Thankfully we ordered well before Christmas. This "bike" is more like a toddler house toy. The tires are foam, wheels are thin plastic, seat is not sturdy, frame is flimsy, the stickers came already applied, there were no streamers, and parts were missing. This was for our 3 year old who is small for her age. We were highly disappointed and will be returning it. The only good thing about the experience was the fast shipping and service. We will purchase at the store so we can insure quality. Don't buy unless you'll only be using it in your house.
I got this bike for my daughter, and when i got it home it just basically fell apart. It was not put together well. The design is flawed. It is made out of a very cheap material. Please parents do not get this for your child. My daughter fell off the bike because the handle bars twisted all around when she tried to turn. I took the product back.
Okay, I bought this for my 3yr old grand-daughter. Took me about 20 mins to assemble and tighten. She jumped on and after some instruction on turning and pedalling, she is off to the races. This was the best starter bike I could have bought her. The price was great, the shipping was fast, the product is excellent. and with adjustable seat and handle bars, she can grow with this bike. She is 37" now, and can get on and off without assistance. She loves to ride her bike, and I couldn't be happier with this product.
I purchased both a pick and purple. Don't buy the pink different manufacturer and very poor quality.
The only thing that was disappointing are the plastic type wheels. I'm not sure how well they will hold up but got my fingers crossed!
gift for niece to enjoy for the summer and she can't wait to use it. It is lovely.
We purchased this for our young granddaughter, we did expect a litttle higher grade of materials to be used, the rear sprocket is made of metal, but the rear tire hub is plastic. The training wheels are plastic also. However our granddaughter loved it and that is the bottom line.
I did'nt like it how ever assembles the chain too the bike,they did a teribble job,chain comes off all the time.
The bike is very cute looking. But the bike was too small for my very tall 4 year old. Walmart shipping via fedex is horrible. They kept pushing my delivery date further back and did not post any tracking info until after the item was delivered. I was going to keep the item so that my daughter could learn how to ride the bike and just buy her a bigger bike for her birthday next month. But the wheels on the bike do not even move its like the bike was made for displays only... grrr... so now I will be returning the bike. And buying a bike out of the store instead.
This was one of the cutiest bikes I ever saw for a little girl. The problem was the tires. They need to be made of rubber because they way they are made will not last on any gravel type driveway.
RIGHT OUT OF BOX THIS BIKE WAS MISSING PAINT , MISSING BOLTS, ONLY HAD 1 STREAMER THE BUCKET LOOKED LIKE IT WAS DRAGGED IN THE DIRT WITH BLOTCHES OF BROWN ALL OVER IT! MY HUSBAND IS NOW ON HIS WAY BACK TO THE STORE WITH THIS BIKE WHICH COULD TAKE 2-3 WEEKS ..YES WEEKS TO GET A NEW ONE! I HAVE A VERY DEVISTATED 1 1/2 and 3 YEAR OLD TONIGHT !
We bought this bike as a first bike for my daughters 4th bday. We weren't sure if shed really ride it, so we didn't want to invest a lot of money into it. We also wanted it to be a surprise and it was hard to buy one at the store; so we ordered offline. It got here the day before her bday and my husband and I were putting it together after she went to bed. First of all, the stickers were all bunched up and peeling off. There was NO padding for the handle bar, which for this size bike for a new rider, it is important to have. When we went to take the tires out, they were styrofoam!!! (and had NO tread) Not only that, but when it was put together, everything was wobbly. The pedals don't have a breaking feature so that shed be able to even stop the bike; no breaks what so ever.
I was so upset, I called our store and they told me (at 10 at night) that they would exchange it. I ended up getting a NICE bike for the same price (including shipping), a basket that lights up, and a bell; already assembled. DONT waste your money on this bike; its cheap!

The Dordogne region
The department of the Dordogne is in the Aquitaine region of south-west France (Le Manoir is approximately 60 miles inland from Bordeaux in an easterly direction). The Dordogne is famous for its wines such as Pecharment and Monbazillac; its food, including duck, foie gras and truffles. Exciting visits include the prehistoric caves at Lascaux and, of course, the Dordogne valley itself with its spectacular scenery and many dramatic and beautiful chateaux.
You will enjoy some of the best sights if you take a canoe down the Dordogne.
The Dordogne area is renowned for its long hot summers, the warm and pleasant weather usually extending from April to late October.
St. Marcel du Perigord
There is just so much to do in summer, it often overwhelms our guests, & they unwind by the swimming pool!
Your first Sunday will often be spent visiting the market at ISSIGEAC, a medieval bastide town which is beautiful in its own right, but with the added attraction of a vibrant Sunday Market.
The kids will love Castelnaud, perched high over the River Dordogne: It offers the them a medieval war museum.
Nearby is my favourite Chateau; Chateau Milandes; The home of Josephine Baker, an American Cabaret artist who adopted a child from each continent. This is where they lived, & the chateau is a museum about her.
There is so much that you will not want to miss! – Where to stop!
You must visit Domme, & Sarlat.
Finally, I nearly forgot! – If you are here in July & August the Marche Nocturnes are good fun.
They are a bit like a mediaeval banquet. – You sit at communal tables & choose food from the many stalls offering cooked local produce.

"Rural charm"
As pungent wood smoke curled across the pretty hillside above the mellow stone village of St Marcel, Peter, the charming owner, welcomed us into the warmth of La Porcherie on a cold damp February afternoon. The flavours of rustic life captured in the exposed stonework, wood and tile floors and beams wrapped us in history without the hardships. The electric heating, efficient hot water system, easy to use wood stove, dishwasher and range of English TV channels were all most welcome. Indoors and out the rural tranquility was broken only by the solemn tolling of the church bell and trilling birdsong. On a summer day we would use of the barbecue, private courtyard garden, pool and grounds, but in winter the blazing woodburner and generous log supply completed a delightful fortnight.
Many thanks for your kind review: It was very poetic.

"a brilliant place, wonderful for families"
we had a wonderful family holiday at la manoir. the accommodation was clean, well presented and suitably stocked with all mod cons and utensils needed for a relaxing stay. peter and nancy are wonderful hosts and i cant thank them highly enough. the facilities including the pool and play barns were ideal for entertaining our 14 month old even when the weather was not at its best. la manoir is ideally placed to explore the dordogne and the local villages and we had a fabulous holiday

"Another great stay...."
Having stayed in Le Pigeonnier last year we decided to treat ourselves and stay in La Porcherie this year even though there were only two of us. This property is extremely spacious and, of course, benefits from all the amenities afforded to all the properties at Le Manoir. Free wifi, large swimming pool, games room etc. Peter and Nancy were, as ever, perfect hosts. Ensuring that you have everything you need including ordering fresh croissants and bread from the local bakers to be delivered every morning. La Porcherie has a very large lounge/dining room as well as a breakfast table in the kitchen giving you plenty of room to spread out and feel comfortable. The shower in the seperate shower room is perfect for waking you up in the morning or for refreshing yourself if you've been sunbathing on the secluded upper terrace. Something which we did frequently. Fully equipped with everything you need, including enough cutlery and crockery to cater for everybody staying in the surrounding gites, it also has the essentials of a dishwasher and washing machine. Would we stay here again? Without a doubt. La Porcherie is a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside whilst having enough room to make yourself feel comfortably at home when you return.

Mission Possibilities
The Portage la Prairie Community
Revitalization Corporation and the
Portage Chamber of Commerce partnered together to launch "Mission Possibilities."
On September 10, 2014, 9 members of our community received a top secret package,
including a video and $100. They were challenged to take the $100 dollars
and make a positive change in our community, but with a deadline of only 30 days!
Here are what our Agents of Change accomplished.
Alana Bolton: Set up a compliment booth in Portage Collegiate Institute.
85 students exchanged compliments, received a flower and a
photograph memento.
$100 encouraged kindness, built self- confidence and 85 students felt great about their day.
Alana has been invited to set up a compliment booth at another school.
Guy Moffat: Using community connections more than doubled his original $100. He was able to donate $225 to two committees, Parks and Active Transportation.
Lindsey Jordan: Used $100 to host a community clean-up and food drive for the Salvation Army.
Not only did $100 improve the appearance of the neighbourhood, it also brought in105 lbs. of food for the food bank.
Jeff Dubois: Used his initial $100 to launch a "trade-up" campaign. After he was finished trading, Jeff managed to turn his $100 into $500 of grocery certificates. He used those help three schools and two organizations; resulting in 400 nutritious school snacks, 30 meals for seniors and food for 15-20 families that use the food bank.
Kirsten Trimble: Organized a Halloween costume drive for children, called Costumes for a Cause. Kirsten and her friends collected 88 costumes, plus accessories that were distributed to children in Portage. They are planning to do it again next year. Kirsten wants Portage to be a community that all children have fond memories of.
Nathan Weselake: Created the Shalom Award. Two students, one from Portage Collegiate and one from Westpark will receive $1000 each for embodying the spirit of the word Shalom; "The way things ought to be." Nathan used $100 as a catalyst for conversations with local businesses so that the Shalom Award will continue on.
Stacy Turner: Used her $100 to buy baking supplies for her cubs. The cubs baked cookies which they sold to their families to raise more money for their projects. The cubs were able to build two benches that they donated, paint playground equipment, purchase food for the Salvation Army food bank while learning how to give back to their community.
Tyler Dunn: Created a Facebook page challenging people in Portage to give their best My Portage message and used the $100 as a prize. Tyler used social media to promote and encourage positive attitudes for our city.
Ember Rodgers: Used the $100 to establish the first ever "Proud to be a Portager Colour Run".
By colouring cornstarch and organizing this event, Ember with her partners not only raised $1040 which she donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters, but highlighted why Portage is a great place to live.
With their creative thinking and hard work, these 9 individuals surpassed all expectations.
Mission Accomplished
The Portage Chamber of Commerce encourages all Portage residents
to unite as a community by combining our greatest resources-
local customers and local small businesses
Portage la Prairie- live here, spend here!

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
16 Jul 2011 08:03 GMT | Politics, Asia, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Germany
The UN Security Council removed 14 former Taliban from its sanctions list as part of moves to induce the armed group into talks with the Afghan government on a peace deal in Afghanistan.
Those de-listed by a special sanctions committee included four members of a 70-strong High Peace Council set up by Afghan authorities last September to pave the way for talks, the German UN mission announced in a statement on Friday.
Germany holds the Security Council presidency this month.
The move came in response to a request from Kabul to take off the list a number of former Taliban figures that the government believes have given up militancy, according to the statement.
Afghan officials had said they were seeking the de-listing of about 20 people.
Some Security Council members, notably Russia, are more cautious about removing names.
The peace council members include: Arsalan Rahmani Daulat, a former Taliban deputy higher education minister; Habibullah Fawzi, a former Taliban diplomat in Saudi Arabia; Sayeedur Rahman Haqani, former Taliban deputy minister for mines and industries and later for public works; and Faqir Mohammad.
President Hamid Karzai's office has called the creation of the council a significant step towards peace. But the Taliban have so far scoffed at the idea of talks, saying all foreign forces must first leave Afghanistan.
The US is preparing to start pulling out its 97,000 troops in Afghanistan as part of a process to hand over all combat operations against the Taliban to Afghan security forces by 2014.
'Strong signal'
In a statement, Germany's UN Ambassador Peter Wittig said the committee's decision "sends a strong signal: the Security Council and the international community support the efforts of the Afghan government to engage reconciled Taliban in a political dialogue in order to achieve peace and security".
"The international community recognizes efforts made by members of the High Peace Council to work toward peace, stability and reconciliation. All Afghans are encouraged to join these efforts. The message is clear: engaging for peace pays off," Wittig said.
The move comes four weeks after the Security Council decided to split what was previously a joint list of Taliban and al-Qaeda figures into two separate lists.
The split was intended to persuade Taliban waverers they were not being lumped together with the global al-Qaeda movement. Until Friday's decision, the Taliban list contained 137 names.
Those listed are subject to sanctions that include travel bans and asset freezes. The Afghan Taliban, which ruled the country before being driven from power by US-backed forces in 2001, was playing host to al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden when he launched the September 11 attacks on the US.
Separating the two movements has long been a Western goal.
Robert Gates, the former US defence decretary, last month said there could be political talks with the Taliban by the end of this year if the NATO alliance kept making military advances on the ground, putting pressure on the insurgents.

For example, it has been claimed to be problematic for semantic accounts of quantification (Beaver and Condoravdi, in: Aloni et al. (eds.) Proceedings of the 16th Amsterdam Colloquium, 2007), for classical accounts of negation (Krifka, in: Bartsch et al. (eds.) Semantics and contextual expression, 1989), and for intersective accounts of verbal coordination (Lasersohn, in Plurality, conjunction and events, 1995). This paper shows that none of this is the case, once we abandon the idea that the event variable is bound at sentence level, and assume instead that verbs denote existential quantifiers over events. Quantificational arguments can then be given a semantic account, negation can be treated classically, and coordination can be modeled as intersection. The framework presented here is a natural choice for researchers and fieldworkers who wish to sketch a semantic analysis of a language without being forced to make commitments about the hierarchical order of arguments, the argument-adjunct distinction, the default scope of quantifiers, or the nature of negation and coordination. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Refining stratified reference http://hdl.handle.net/2451/34276 Title: Refining stratified reference Authors: Champollion, Lucas Abstract: This is a reply to the comments by Corver, Doetjes, Link, Piñón, Schwarzschild, and Syrett on the target article in this volume, 'Stratified reference: The common core of distributivity, aspect, and measurement'. Stratified reference is designed to capture semantic oppositions involving atelicity, plurality and mass reference, extensive measure functions, distributivity, and collectivity. Following suggestions by some of the commentators, stratified reference is refined here in two ways: it is restricted to the parts of the event or individual in question, and its granularity parameter is instantiated with a predicate built around mereological proper parthood and degree ordering. 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z Stratified reference: the common core of distributivity, aspect, and measurement http://hdl.handle.net/2451/34275 Title: Stratified reference: the common core of distributivity, aspect, and measurement Authors: Champollion, Lucas Abstract: Why can I tell you that I 'ran for five minutes' but not that I *'ran to the store for five minutes'? Why can we talk about 'five pounds of books' but not about *'five pounds of book'? What keeps you from saying *'sixty degrees Celsius of water' when you can say 'sixty inches of water'? And what goes wrong when I complain that *'all the ants in my kitchen are numerous'? The constraints on these constructions involve concepts that are generally studied separately: aspect, plural and mass reference, measurement, distributivity, and collectivity. This paper provides a unified perspective on these domains and gives a single answer to the questions above in the framework of algebraic event semantics. 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z
