Kuba Granicki, Alessio Lacovig and Mike Rassmann, the three partners behind Johannesburg-based Architects Of Justice, sat down to have a discussion on how workplaces are designed, and the architect's role in finding out what a client wants (and needs).
How do you find out what a client is looking for when they approach you to design an office space?
Kuba Granicki: We try to understand their business, but firstly need to find out if the client themselves understands their own business as it stands now, and in the long term. When someone says to us, "My sales team has eight people," that's great, but will your sales team always have eight people?
Mike Rassmann: We ask them how they envision their business to look like in five years, and in ten years' time.
Alessio Lacovig: How do your salespeople work? Do they come into the office every day or are they mainly out on the road? What are their needs when they get back to the office?
Rassmann: All these things play a part, not only in understanding the staff contingent, but in understanding the departments and how they interact. What their corporate culture is.
Granicki: We try to discover what has been failing in their current office space that we're now being called in to address. That's the primary need, but once we are on the job, we start to identify secondary needs that the building can tackle.
In your experience, do clients tend to know what they want or do you need to work with them to figure it out?
Rassmann: I think where we add the value is; the clients know how their businesses run, but we figure out how their offices will work within a spatial framework.
Granicki: A client has hired us as there are obviously aspects of their business which aren't working. There are specifics of the project which have to be included; the non-negotiables, then there's the stuff that a client would like to try and incorporate into the project, and finally there are the things that they dream about, but which they don't think are achievable; we ask our clients to list all of these. We then try and include all of list one, most of list two and as much of list three as we can into a project. That's our stance on all architecture, not just commercial projects.
A lot of clients just know that they are not happy and they need a change. From there you have to dig it all up – is it growth, do you just need a new look, or are you changing your business structure?
We had a client who worked with us before and he had an idea that his space needed to be changed. Mike ran with the spatial planning and we just had to meet his expectations. He was a relatively easy client. Recently we had a client whose corporate image was outdated and he told us to just 'go for it'. That is great as you get to do whatever you want, but you know that you need to smash their expectations. So essentially that project is more difficult as you set the expectations on yourself as well – only we know when it's good enough. But if we get hired to do a particular job, that's where we look at how we can add value.
Lacovig: Some client's don't actually want anything other than what they have in their heads. And you need to try and convince them otherwise. We are taught at university that we know better than the client – we have the solutions – and sometimes listening instead of just giving the solution is better because then you get to the solution much quicker and work together. It's a win-win situation for all.
What challenges do you find in understanding the needs of the users of a workplace?
Granicki: In the modern office you are no longer as tied to the office as you were in the past. There are systems that can give you information and let you do your work from anywhere in the world.
There are international companies with offices all over the world and they are delivering a service 24 hours a day, and whichever branch is awake at that time is doing the work. Those sort of global accelerations are the things that are affecting the workplace, but in my opinion, the workplace is the slowest to adapt to them, and once it does, it's already evolving again.
What do you think will be a workspace design must-have in the near future?
Rassmann: I think there might be places where you go back to connect to physicality. Look at the library; you don't have to go there to get a book these days, but people go there to study because it's quiet, and maybe the office space is going to be something like that. Yes, you can work at home but maybe home can't give you the fancy coffee machine and all those things you need. It's not about your desk anymore, it's more about the environment that you are in – maybe that's the next big thing.
Lacovig: And the accidental exchange of ideas when you are talking to someone randomly while making coffee or getting some water. You start chatting about things and before you know it, your work ideas crossover and you get a hybrid of ideas which maybe solves a problem.
Rassmann: People are starting to crave that human connection again.
Does South Africa have different office and workspace needs to other countries?
Rassmann: Everywhere has different cultural quirks. Asian companies, especially for the skilled workers, require a good stretching before work starts to prevent cramps and pain during work. As a local example, the co-working spaces in Cape Town have taken off in a big way, but in Johannesburg they haven't. In Cape Town, it's at the point where the guys who own the co-working space check to see if they like your business before letting you in there. Johannesburg, on the other hand, is still empty enough that if you can pay, you can stay. So there are very different work cultures going on across South Africa.
In terms of materials and furniture, what has changed?
Lacovig: Some of the technology around building desks has changed, for example retractable desks where you can sit or stand, which all comes from a better understanding of ergonomics and what is healthy for the body. At some point there was even a craze of using yoga balls as chairs.
Rassmann: Some of the desk designs I have seen lately have been geared around making it look more like an individual office while still being in an open-plan environment. You are also starting to get a lot of different kinds of meeting spaces – not just the boardroom table – the idea of having a meeting in a coffee shop, but in your own building.
Lacovig: The modular aspect of furniture design is not something new – modulation is something that all designers, whether it's industrial or architects, have pursued as the ultimate solution, but this solution doesn't really exist yet.
Rassmann: Offices haven't quite got to that multi-purpose space yet, such as a classroom, where desks can be arranged into a cluster for group work, or individually for exams. Offices aren't there yet, the cables have kept us from getting to that point.
Granicki: Some people are happier to be in their own space, and work better that way.
Rassmann: People are becoming more about themselves, less about community, all me, me, me. It's been happening for a while but offices haven't adapted. You set out a workspace with 10 desks that are all identical and say, "go sit". That's what Google has got right; you can go climb into a pod with your laptop away from everyone else.
Lacovig: It's about creating a multitude of different spaces where people can choose which environment suits them best.
Rassmann: But not everyone is always going to have bucket loads of space – you are going to need to have an adaptive space before long.
Lacovig: Plus the human element is so unpredictable. You could have a higher percentage of introverts to extroverts and all of a sudden your office space doesn't cater for them. That's why designing commercial office space is very different to residential work because you are dealing with multiple elements – you are making assumptions about the user, but with residential projects you have more specifics which you can get directly from the client.
Granicki: An architect in the 1970s designed cubicles; meeting cubicles, coffee cubicles, chill out cubicles along with the workstation cubicles. A developer came along and removed all the fun cubicles, the hanging out cubicle removed, the reading cubicle removed, only the work cubicle remained. I mention this now, because 50 years later, with this open plan, more transparent response which is common, you are actually looking at what the office cubicle typology could have brought to the office if the original idea had been implemented. Instead they only implemented the work cubicles, now it seems, heading to 2020, people are awakening to the fact that it would be nice to have a place to eat with co-workers, shared spaces during projects and chill-out spaces. Cubicles were actually an architectural invention.

The Future of National Borders Across These Islands
Dr Katy Hayward talks all things borders and Brexit at the recent John Hewitt International Summer School.
Dr Katy Hayward addressed the John Hewitt International Summer School delegates in Armagh this week where she reflected on the future of national borders across these islands in light of Brexit.
Katy also asked why is it so difficult to conceive 'flexible and imaginative' solutions for the Irish border after Brexit and looked at three dimensions of how the EU has changed the Irish border: trade, citizens and closer union.

Single sex schools allow children to retain their "innocence" for longer, according to the headmaster of Eton.
Tony Little (pictured right) yesterday argued that teaching girls and boys separately means that they can "be themselves" until a later stage,
The top school leader will step down this summer as headmaster of the world-famous boys' school, which counts David Cameron, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry among its former pupils, after 13 years in the post.
"What I'm saying is in a single sex environment, you can allow innocence to last a little longer," Little said, adding that "there are ways of talking about emotional development and about sexuality with single-gender groups, that oddly, and perhaps perversely, can get you further than in co-ed groups."
Unexpected baby born in shower
A woman stepped into the shower this week to help ease the discomfort of stomach pains. She emerged holding a newborn.
Brittany Young, 24, knew she was pregnant and had recurring stomach pains. But it turns out Young may have misunderstood a hospital worker in December. Instead of being 12 weeks pregnant then, as Young believed, she had 12 weeks left.
"I got in the shower, not even five minutes after that, I was like, my stomach is still hurting. Not even five seconds later, I had to push," Young said in Des Moines, Iowa. Soon after, her daughter, Miracle, arrived, weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces.
Hitch for round-the-world unicyclist
A man who aims to be the first person to unicycle around the world was only able to clock up seven miles on his first day – due to his egg sandwiches.
Ed Pratt, 19, headed to the start line of his 18,000 mile tour in Chilthorne Domer, Somerset, but realised he had forgotten his packed lunch on the way. His parents took the two egg sandwiches out of the fridge at their home in Curry Rivel and handed them over to Pratt to put in his specially made pannier bag.
He managed to cram the sandwiches into the full pannier but the zip split, meaning Pratt could only cycle seven miles before returning home. A friend offered to replace all four zips on his panniers and so Pratt was able to set off again, when he clocked up 40 miles to Weymouth.
Green water closet in the offing
UK researchers are developing a self-powered toilet which turns human waste into clean water and even energy to charge mobile phones.
The "nano membrane toilet", being developed with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aims to help bring sanitation into the homes of 2.5 billion people still without it in developing countries, without needing water supplies or sewage pipes.
The team at Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, say it could also be used in developed countries, for uses ranging from the military to luxury yachts, the construction industry or even as an odour-free alternative to the toilets widely used at music festivals.
Five-foot-long sturgeon resuscitated
State wildlife officers have resuscitated a five-foot-long sturgeon and cited the man who pulled the fish from the Sacramento River.
Janice Mackey of the Department of Fish and Wildlife said that officers spotted the suspected poacher along the river near Clarksburg last week. The man hooked a very large fish and drove off with it in the back of his pickup truck.
The officers immediately pulled the man over and brought the large, untagged fish back to the riverbed, where they rocked it back and forth, moving water over its gills. Fishing for white sturgeon, which are native to California, is highly regulated. They can live to 100 years old.

When it comes to making a commercial movie intro song but still maintain the classical melody, nobody does it better than the king of melody Mani Sharma. Need a proof? Here it is. The opening song 'Hare Rama' from Mahesh Babu's first blockbuster film 'Okkadu'. A cult song, which has all the elements to entertain from class listeners to mass listeners. Mani Sharma has taken a traditional bhajan as the opening hook theme and fused it into a composition based out on Raag Desh, which gave an inspirational feel to the song yet having a foot tapping groove. And once again, taking the song to another level, is the lyrics of Guruji Sirivennela Seetharama Shasthry garu, who has written an intricate philosophy about success, peace and harmony in the commercial number. Let us look into the song.
Lyrical Breakdown:
Govindha bolo HariGopala bolo
Govindha bolo HariGopala bolo
Radhaa ramana HariGopala bolo
Radhaa ramana HariGopala bolo…
Hare Rama hare Rama
Rama Rama hare hare.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna hare hare.
Raamudnainaa krishnudnainaa keerthisthu kurchuntaamaa
Vaallem saadhinchaaro konchem gurthiddhaam mithramaa
Sandhram kudaa sthambhinchelaa mana satthaa chupiddhaamaa
Sangraamamlo githaa paatam thelupamaa…
// Govindha… Thelupama… //
The song begins with the traditional bhajan chants of Lord Krishna "Govindha Bolo Hari… Gopala Bolo", whose meaning is in sync with the song's theme on peace and harmony, which continues to the hook line "Hare Rama Hare Krishna… Hare hare" which means "Hail Lord Rama and Hail Lord Krishna". The main lines of the song are "Raamudnaina… Thelupamaa", which translates to "It's not just aboutsitting and singing praises on the lords, but let's understand what they have taught us my friend. The worlds have to stand still as we show our mettle and at war let us get inspired by the lessons of Gita (Bhagavad-Gita)."
As we see, while hailing the lords the lyricist is stressing on not just blindly follow the faith but learn what gods have actually preached. He is explaining that it's you who has to realize your own worth and believe in yourself as told in the lessons of Gita. The interlude progresses with a konokkol and raag aalap and a rap fusion and continues to the next stanza.
Charanam 1:
Charminar chaatu kadhakii
theliyadee nitya kalaham.
Bhaagmathi prema smruthiki
bahumathee bhagyanagaram.
Yem maayathanthram mathamai
naati chelimini cheriperaa…
Om shanthi manthram manamai
jaathi viluvani niluparaa…
Padha padha padha padhamani…
Hare Rama Hare Krishna, japisthu kurchumtaamaa.
Krishna Rama cheppindhento gurthiddham mithramaa
sandhramu koodaa sthambhinchelaa mana satthaa choopiddhaamaa
sangraamamlo geethaa paatam thelupamaa…
Govindha bolo Hari Gopala bolo
Radhaa ramana Hari Gopala bolo
Hare Rama hare Rama
Rama Rama hare hare.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna hare hare.
The stanza completely talks about the existing religious harmony, specifically about the Hyderabad city. As the movie is based around the place 'Charminar', the idea projects the life around old city. The lyric "Charminar… Bhagyanagaram" translates to "The life around Charminar doesn't know the religious clashes around the world. Because the city of Hyderabad is a memoir of the love of Bhagamathi and Emporer Qutub Shah." The next lines celebrates the greatness of this religious harmony in the lines "Yem Maayathanthram… Nilupara" meaning "Which religious hypocrisy would disturb this age's long friendship? We protect the harmony of the city as we unite on the mantra of peace!"
"…sahanaabhavathu sahanogunathu sahaveeryam karavaa vahai
thejaswinaamatheethamastu maavidvishaavahai…"
This stanza continues to the scene where Hindus chanting their mantras written above in Sanskrit and Muslims offering their prayers in Urdu at the same place. Also this interlude has a fusion with Carnatic swaras and rock instrumentation projecting a contemporary dance and drama sequence about the festival of Dussera.
Charanam 2:
Pasidipathakaala haaram
kaadhuraa vijaya theeram…
Aatane maatakardham
ninu nuvve geluchu yuddham…
Sri RamaNavami, jaripe mundhu lankanu gelavaraa.
Ee vijayadasami, kaavaalantechedunu jayincharaa…
Padha padha padha padhapani…
|| Hare Rama Hare Krishna… Gita paatam thelupamaa ||
|| Govindha Bolo hari… Gopala Bolo ||
The last stanza explains about the quality of a winner taking the instances from epics 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabharata'. The first lines "Pasidipathakala…Yuddham", translates to "It's not the number of gold medals which determine the worth of a winner. The essence of game, is about overcoming your own self and limits." To enhance these qualities of a winner he continues in "Sri Rama Navami… Jayinchara" saying "Before celebrating Sri Navami, win over your own Lanka and before celebrating Dussera, win over your own negativity!"
Both stanzas end with the line "Padha Padha Padha Padhamani/Padhapani", which means "Let's go, go and go" which internally is also the musical notations of the tune at that line. That is a work of genius of both composer Mani Sharma and lyricist Sirivennela garu. This song would stay for generations more considering the musical quality and meaning, also because of the commercial energy the song possess'.

Gonzalez, Collins weathering job situations
Braves, Mets managers on last year of contracts, but both appreciate time they've had
NEW YORK -- Fredi Gonzalez of the Braves and Terry Collins of the Mets are managers under pressure to perform.
Despite both their teams having played way above expectations in the National League East thus far this season, they are both working on the last year of their contracts. Their future beyond the last game of 2015 is, at best, murky.
Both men say they have yet to talk contract extension with their respective general managers -- John Hart of the Braves and Sandy Alderson of the Mets. Both say there are still under evaluation and wouldn't have it any other way. Both have the kind of experience and disposition to weather the pressure inherent in their unique situations.
"It's not even on my mind. I'm the oldest manager [at 66], so it shouldn't even be on my mind," Collins told MLB.com on Friday night prior to his Mets playing the Braves at Citi Field. "Waking up tomorrow should be the only thing on my mind."
"I handle it the same way as always," Gonzalez said in a one-on-one interview. "I come in, do my job, and I don't even worry about that kind of stuff. I've been lucky enough. I didn't think I'd even have one chance to manage in the big leagues, but I've had two, and now I've gotten in nine years. I do my job to the best of my capabilities, and let's see what happens."
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Braves as they prepare to move into a new suburban Atlanta ballpark in time for the 2017 season. Hart traded away such stalwarts as Justin Upton, Craig Kimbrel, Melvin Upton Jr. and Jason Heyward, yet the Braves went into action on Friday night in third place, and at 29-31 are only 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Mets.
The Mets, despite a plethora of injuries, have played nip and tuck with the Nationals, having fallen no further than three games out of first all season. And even that was on April 11. They've been as many as four games up.
Given those surprising team performances thus far, by all rights both men should have their respective jobs for at least next season and perhaps well beyond.
Gonzalez said he isn't stressing about that. He had two goals when he took over the Braves in 2011 from the just-retired and now Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox. It was his second gig as a manager, having just been released after four years with the Marlins.
"When I was going in, my goals were to make sure my kids got through school and that I owned my own house," he said. "And I've done both. Everything from here on in is just gravy."
When Collins took over the Mets, also in 2011, it had been 12 years since he last managed in the big leagues, his tenure with the Angels having ended before the 1999 season had concluded. Collins said the goal this time around was to enjoy himself. Collins also managed in Japan during his time between Major League jobs, which was more than a decade.
"I look at it completely different," said Collins, who also managed the Astros for three years just before embarking on those nearly three seasons in Anaheim. "In fact, when I got this job, I told my wife that I was going to enjoy this, that I was going to have some fun with it.
"The first jobs were about trying to show everybody you deserve it, that you're good enough. All those things we strive to try to do. Not with this with one. I don't have to apologize to anyone."
Gonzalez said his last chat about the future was during Spring Training with Hart, who took over for Fran Wren as president of baseball operations after last season. Hart was a consultant in the organization before that, and Gonzalez said he and Hart work well together.
The Braves have had some success under Gonzalez and have been to the postseason twice, losing a Wild Card Playoff Game in 2012 to the Cardinals, and in '13 a National League Division Series in four games to the Dodgers. Last year's 79-83 finish was his only sub-.500 season.
"In all my years, and I told this to John, I've never had it so good between a manager and general manager, never had a better relationship," Gonzalez said. "A couple of times he's come in and said, 'Hey, it's your call. What do you want to do? It's your team.' And that's good. We get judged for winning or losing, for getting into the playoffs. I'm fine with that."
Collins said his job situation hasn't come up with Alderson since last season. The Mets have yet to enjoy a .500 season during the Alderson-Collins tandem, coming closest at 79-83 in 2014. The two men have worked well together.
"When last year he told me he wanted me to come back, he said, 'You know, there's going to be a lot of discussions about it because you'll be on your last year,'" Collins recalled. "And I said, 'We'll worry about it when the season is over. A lot of things seem to take care of themselves.'
"I'm fine. I have no bills, and I'm happy as a lark. Do I want to do it? Absolutely. I love it. I have a blast doing it. These guys, these players keep you young."

Video games are one of the most immersive and rewarding forms of entertainment out there. Yet choosing the right games console or game for your children or grandchildren can be something of a nightmare.
If it wasn't hard enough already, games today seem to be designed solely for either adults or extremely young children and finding the line between the two can be incredibly difficult, especially if you don't know your Xbox from you Nintendo 3DS.
[Read more: Is the Nintendo Switch safe for my child?]
To help you cut through the noise and decide which console is best for you and your family here's our handy guide:
Child-friendly games
Nintendo is the clear winner when it comes to making games specifically for children.
The Nintendo 2DS XL is a perfect starting point for young children. It's portable, has a huge catalogue of games that kids can save up for and it has limited internet access.
Great starter games on the 2DS include Mario Kart 7, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Pokemon Yellow, Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Beyond that, the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic games console for the whole family. The console's unique feature is that it can be used in portable mode or connected to your big-screen TV in docked mode.
While the selection of games can include some very adult choices (Doom, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus) Nintendo has created a superb companion app that lets parents control their children's experience on the console.
Using the app you can set time limits for certain games and even remotely stop them playing if they go over the allocated limit.
The Switch also has a comprehensive selection of both big-budget video games and smaller more family-focused titles including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, FIFA 19, Fortnite, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, Just Dance 2019 and the charming team-based cooking game Overcooked.
The Xbox One S is a great starter console for slightly older children and teens, combining a good selection of fun titles with all the big-budget blockbuster titles that you would expect from a state-of-the-art games console.
Games that are perfect for teens include Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 4, Fortnite. WWE 2K19 and the vast sci-fi epic No Man's Sky.
The PlayStation 4 similarly offers games designed for a slightly older audience, but again that doesn't mean there isn't a really solid selection available for those who are heading into their teens.
Choice titles for teens on the PS4 include: Fortnite, FIFA 19, Rocket League, Spyro Reignited and the brilliantly dazzling Tetris Effect.
The Nintendo 2DS XL takes the crown for affordability thanks to its £135 starting price tag. There are also loads of different styles to choose from so you can let your child pick one that best suits their tastes.
Coming in a close second is the Xbox One S which offers up blockbuster gaming for the living room at around £200. Today's video games take up a lot of memory so make sure you select the 1TB version.
At around the same price range is the PS4 although it does come with only half the storage space of the Xbox. If you want the same amount of space you'll need to spend around £230.
The Nintendo Switch is the newest of the video games consoles and as such comes with one of the highest price tags. The basic Switch costs £279 and there are some extra costs you'll have to consider as well.
The Switch only has enough storage space for a few games, so you will probably need to increase the storage by buying a memory card. The type you will need is called a microSD card and we would recommend getting a size of 100GB or higher.
You could also pick up a mini retro console like the NES Classic Mini or the SNES Classic Mini. These come preloaded with games, which means you can't buy extra titles for them, so they're a bit more limited. They're also less powerful than modern consoles, don't connect to the internet, and are designed with retro-loving big kids in mind. Still, little ones will probably still find them fun too.
Family fun
The Nintendo Switch is by far the best games console for getting the entire family involved.
Thanks to its design, the Switch's controls actually detach from the console to create two separate controllers. You can then buy another pair, giving you four controllers for the price of two.
The Switch also has a huge range of team-based games that encourage the whole family to get involved. Mario Kart offers up cartoon racing while the brilliant Overcooked sets families the challenge of preparing and making meals in bizarre scenarios.
If you have more than one Switch then players can easily connect them without wires, allowing kids to play against each other even without the need for a wi-fi network.
The PlayStation 4 comes in a close second thanks to a new type of video game called PlayLink.
PlayLink lets families and friends play a new and exciting range of video games by using their phones as the controller. Games like That's You offers a unique take on the quiz show, challenging players to demonstrate just how much they know about each other.
Frantics, on the other hand, consists of a selection of fun, quirky mini-games that'll see you using your phones in new ways in order to compete.
The Xbox One S does support multiple players on the same console however it is more focused on online video games which means that while your child will be playing with other people, they won't be in the same room as them.
One rather nice feature with the Xbox One is something called Copilot. This allows a parent and child to have two separate controllers but still be controlling the same character so that the parent can jump in and help if their child is struggling without having to physically take their controller away from them.
Entertainment extras
The modern video games console can do a lot more than just play games.
As well as playing DVDs and Blu-ray discs they can stream TV shows and movies from services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video.
Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 get the top prize for offering extra entertainment as both support a huge range of streaming apps including BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Amazon Prime, 4OD and even Sky and Now TV.
The Xbox One and PlayStation both support a technology called HDR. This drastically improves the picture quality of what's on the screen and if you family has a HDR-compatible TV it'll make your games and films looks even better.
For parents who want the latest and greatest sound systems in their living rooms the Xbox One also supports a new sound technology called Dolby Atmos. This new technology creates a highly-realistic surround sound effect that can make you feel like you're actually in the scene that's on the screen.
Spotify users can also create their own soundtracks on Xbox and PlayStation by playing their music in the background while enjoying their games.
While the Nintendo Switch lacks many of these apps, it does have YouTube.

Spoiler Chat: Scoop on Homeland, Revenge, Pretty Little Liars, Revolution and More!
Midweek slump? We've got just the cure for your Wednesday woes!
That's right, we're serving up a steaming cup o' scoop for you this morning, with spoilers on a new pairing Homeland fans can expect to see in season three, two newbies Revenge viewers will be meeting and the return of a Teen Wolf baddie! Plus, we've also got insider info on the new season of Revolution, Pretty Little Liars, Cougar Town and more…
Meghan: Even though I didn't love season two, I have to admit I am really, really excited about the upcoming season of Revenge. Any scoop to share?
Prepare to meet two newbies when your Hamptons vacation returns later this month. In episode six, you'll be introduced to a new recurring character, supermarket worker Jenny, a no-nonsense spitfire, who has a strong moral center and fight in her. Also making her Hamptons debut is Morgan Holt, an attractive and corrupt real estate agent, who is in cahoots with Conrad. And we mean in cahoots in possibly more way than one…if you catch our drift. Seems things are still as scandalous as ever for the Graysons and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Nicholas A.: Revolution scoop, anything you got.
We recently spoke to Billy Burke about season two, and how Nora's death will impact Miles and the team. "He is going to carry it with him for a while," he told us. "As actors I will say losing Nora was a big blow–losing Daniella and Danny, who played Graham were all big blows for us, but the nature of the show is that people have to die. Still, for us it truly was like losing family." He also revealed that Neville may not remain a villain for long. " I don't think that Neville is all bad, and I think he at one time, too, started outwith good intentions and probably wanted to do what was right for the greater good, like a lot of these characters have," Burke said. "But daily they are forced to do stuff that they don't want to do but have to, and it changes them."
Sasha: I'm OK with Brody not being in the first few episodes of Homeland because I'm a Quinn-Carrie shipper. Please tell me they have some good stuff in the premiere!!
Nope, Carrie's heart, for now, belongs to Brody. She's too preoccupied with protecting him and dealing with Saul to bat her eyelashes at Quinn. And worse news for Quinn-Carrie fans: there might be romance brewing with a new person on the team and Quinn. It's too early to tell, but we wouldn't be surprised if Homeland went there with the two of them.
Ash: Do you know if Evan Peters and Taissa Farmiga will play love interests on American Horror Story this year? I loved them in season one together.
We're betting they will definitely have a relationship of some kind, but we think Evan's character will be involved with his real-life girlfriend Emma Roberts' character. Maybe a love triangle is brewing? We wouldn't be surprised, given this creepy three-way kiss on the AHS poster.
Come on now, any true Teen Wolf fan knows a villain never really dies on the MTV hit. Just look at Peter Hale, who seemingly died in season one only to return to big bad form in the season 3A finale. "We like Peter a lot and we especially like Ian Bohen, but it's hard. You want to have villains in your show, but you want to have believable ends to those villains as well, but sometimes they're just too good," Jeff Davis explains of having a hard time saying goodbye to the show's villains. "We're talking about, like, 'How can we bring Jennifer back?' the other day on set." And for the record, he wouldn't confirm her death. Take that as you will…
Angela: Please tell me that you have more Pretty Little Liars scoop! I don't want to have to wait until January, I need answers now!
Well, we want answers too! So we recently chatted with the original "A," the lovely Janel Parrish, and the PLL star says that things are going to get even more twisted when season four returns in 2014. "It's just going to get crazier and crazier, as the pieces of the puzzle start coming together. "A" is going to be even more of a mastermind than anybody ever imagined so yeah, it's going to get crazier." Plus, our former insane asylum sweetheart is going to be getting a new boyfriend! Parrish reveals, "Mona finally gets a love interest. I think she deserves one and it's kind of a shocking one so I think fans will love it." Who do you think will be wooing Mona next year? Our money is on Lucas!
Alana: Just watched every episode of Mike & Molly and now I'm a fan. Do you have any info from the new season?
Molly will end up in a coffin. Wait! Don't panic. She does find herself laying in a coffin, but she's alive and just joking around in a funeral home. You know, as one does. Turns out that Mike and Molly will enjoy some substances of the…recreational variety and won't be able to stop giggling during their funeral home adventure. And since it's television, of course Molly will scare the living daylights out of a familyjust trying to pick out a coffin for a deceased loved one.
Lucia: Penny Can! Oops, I mean Cougar Town!
Penny Can! Oops, we mean here's some scoop for you to get absolutely giddy over: Bobby is becoming a grandfather! OK, before you break out about Travis becoming a father and starting a family with Laurie (Crazier things have happened, people!), we should mention that Bobby isn't technically the biological grandfather as it's his dog that is welcoming some new puppies. Too bad another man is trying to sell Bobby's grandpups, so Ellie comes to the rescue. Huzzah!

by Thich Nhat Hanh Song by Br. Phap Niem
May the sound of the bell penetrate deep into the cosmos.
Even in the darkest spots living beings are able to hear it clearly.
So that all suffering in them cease. Understanding comes to their heart, and they transcend the path of sorrow and death.
The universal dharma door is already open; the sound of the rising tide is already heard clearly. The miracle happens. A beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower. One single drop of this compassionate water is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers.
Listening to the bell I feel the afflictions in me dissolve.
My mind is calm, my body relaxed. A smile is born on my lips.
Following the sound of the bell, my breath brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness. In the garden of my heart, the flowers of peace bloom beautifully.
Buddhadharma Comes Full Circle
"Siddharta Gautama, who became Shakyamuni Buddha, was a person of color living in the north of India. In the centuries after his death, the seeds of the Buddhadharma took root in the hearts of many people of color as it migrated to Sri Lanka, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, China, Korea, Japan, Tibet, and Vietnam. The dharma is coming full circle. It is coming back to the ears, hearts, and hands of people of color, where it began many centuries and generations ago…"
From "Dharma, Color and Culture" (Parallax Press, 2004)
~Kamala Masters
dharma praktis +
peoples of color & culture
there was a moment when i was considering the expression:
it's all good
and in looking at this expression deeply,
i think one way to see it is…
it represents a gatha of our lotus praktis as people of color
expressing from the ground of our Being as peoples of culture,people of compassion…
it's all good
an everyday, colloquial expression embodies
a sense of openness, compassion, the capacity for multiplicity in us…
it represents receiving things as they are, and
praktising by offering our generosity of being
to whatever the occasion, situation, or moment is that arises…
"it's all good" means we aiiiight, things are all right,
things will be all good
we got this
we family
the sangha
the community
brothas and sistas
homies & homegirls
los compas y compañeras
we can hold this…
we can heal this
we can heal from this…
it's all good
we goin' out like this
transforming mud
transforming lotus
uprooting suffering
with this ancient praktis
"it's all good" is one of the fruits
and flowers born our of our lotus praktis
"it's all good" is being present with all that IS,
whatever moment IT is…
and embracing it with
spaciousness, ease,
mindfulnes and compassion…
it's all good
seed expressions
of our buddhahood
i think this expression, "it's all good" is one of flowering buds of our shared
lotus praktis as communities of color and culture rising from the mud of racialization…
as racialized peoples, we've been made to believe in distorted, deluded ideas of ourselves and our communities. at the same time, since the beginning, we've been courageously, fearlessly and lovingly crafting ways to transform suffering, to transform the poisons, the maras infesting our environments and how we are seen or thought about…
and all the more now, that's IT'S ALL GOOD. the drums of the Triple Jewels have planted themselves in the West. they are beginning to resound in the West. the precious Dharma is taking root in the West and our communities of color, who have maintained vigils, prayers and ceremonies for true liberation are, above ground or underground, making the Journey home guided by the sounds of these dharma drums of liberation!
we are crossing the borders and shores of our suffering
and becoming "refugees"
taking refuge in the sovereign island within ourself
we are letting go of the small stories
and false labels that have marked us
we are wiping the mud off our faces
seeing ourselves anew
seeing our Original Face
and seeing a smile born on our lips
we are getting down on our knees
and offering thanks
for all that has brought us to this point
for all that has watered the seeds of
this wisdom and compassion
all that has pushed us to the edge
and nurtured in us
the awakening of bodhicitta
we are standing up and dancing in praise
we are offering incense and sage
copal candles flowers
we are offering up songs and prayers
mantras and libations
on the altar of our True Nature
today, we are goin' back Home
back to the block
back to our barrios and barangays
we are going back to our buddhahood
because we recall
we remember
where we're really from
we remember our Being grows
from the pureland of all our ancestors
our cultures are our treasures
we remember the awakened
reality and truth that exists within
when we go back to our True Home, we know
"it's all good"
and right now, especially,
"it's all good"
because the Time has finally come!
This Is It!
No slippin' into forgetfulness and
falling into people of color time on this one!
People of color!
…of culture!
…of courage!
…of creative expression!
This ground of Compassion is our Liberation!
Let your lotus praktis rise!
Let your rose from the concrete rise!

The purpose of the Supernova panel was to educate the public about the legal issues at play surrounding cannabis regulations and the options available for people to enter the industry. But it also turned into an informal networking event, with people volunteering different skillsets related to their work in the cannabis industry. One woman asked if anyone wanted to pool resources to rent a commercial kitchen for making edibles and topicals. People offered resources for legal advice and leads on warehouse spaces for cultivation. Though the networking portion of the event was unplanned, organizers Senter, Lencho, and Parks welcomed it.
According to the founders of Supernova, networking is a vital part of running a cannabis business. Entrepreneurs often help one another by sharing information on upcoming legislation and city council meetings, business advice, and safety precautions for dealing with large amounts of cash and lucrative product.
"You can't Google how to run a dispensary," said Andrea Unsworth, who owns the cannabis delivery company StashTwist and is also the chairwoman of the Bay Area chapter of the cannabis entrepreneurship organization Women Grow. Unsworth, who is Black, said that opening a delivery service was one way for her to operate legally, given Oakland's current cap of eight storefront dispensary licenses. But running her business has not been easy, as she often fears for the safety of her drivers and questions whether law enforcement would be on her side if something bad were to happen.
But attending networking events can be costly. While the Supernova panel was free, according to Lencho, the admission price to attend a mainstream cannabis conference is typically in the hundreds of dollars. As a result, the attendees at cannabis networking events tend to be overwhelmingly wealthy and white. Those who don't have the time or money to attend them are essentially missing out on vital sources of information.
"I've been going to local hearings in Berkeley and Oakland," said Lencho, "and the only reason you know they're happening is because you're tapped into the industry and people are reminding you about the schedule of events, and you have people who are telling you about the upcoming conferences. If you have no idea that this is happening, which I think is the case with the vast majority of people living in this area, you're going to wake up in 2018, you're going to hear about these licensing applications, and you're going to be like, 'Wait, what? I didn't even know this was going on.'"
Cannabis networking events also provide entrepreneurs with the chance to make business connections: Topicals makers and growers can meet dispensary owners, for instance, which would improve their chances of getting their products in clubs. If networking events are structured in such a way that is not accessible to low-income folks, many people of color will effectively be barred from the industry.
"I'm not assuming that all people of color are low-income, or living check-to-check, but if you've been around weed [on the underground market], chances are you're not very affluent," said Claudia Mercado. "And finding the time to attend those meetings is very time-consuming."
While felony convictions likely will prohibit many people from becoming licensed to start their own cannabis businesses, one would think that a way for them to still profit from the cannabis industry would be through getting a job at a local dispensary. According to Andrew Silva, a San Francisco attorney who works with local cannabis businesses to make sure they're in compliance with state and local laws, dispensaries typically pay above the minimum wage.
"People with felonies are currently being employed by dispensaries, and it's a really good resource for them, because they pay well," said Silva, who used to make a living working at cannabis dispensaries before starting his law practice.
However, the cannabis entrepreneurs of color interviewed for this story echoed the sentiment that most of the cannabis clubs in Oakland — with the exception of places like Purple Heart, which is Black-owned, and Magnolia Wellness, which has a reputation for having a diverse staff — and around the Bay Area tend to have majority-white staff, even in entry-level positions.
Shaw, owner of Mystic Herbal Body Care, said that since she began selling her product at local dispensaries in 2009, she has seldom encountered people of color in managerial positions at dispensaries — a trend she often sees reflected in the racial makeup of the rest of the staff. Shaw said that she has applied to numerous dispensary jobs that she considered herself obviously qualified for — since she is an experienced grower, topicals maker, and business owner — but she has frequently been rejected. She has often wondered whether racially biased hiring practices were the reason.
"It's very disturbing, and it bothers me a lot, because Black and Mexican people might not be able to start the business, but we sure need jobs," she said. "And it would be great to do something in the cannabis industry, where you don't have to get drug tested and you get to deal with something that's so fun and be part of this whole movement. It kind of breaks my heart. ... Unless it's a Black-owned club, you usually don't see any Black people working there, not even budtenders."

On Friday we headed off to Alton Towers. We had waited all summer for the weather predictions to be good enough for me to book a day off work, and ended up going on the final day of the holidays once all other options had passed by. As it happens, it was the perfect day to go.
The wonderful people at Worcestershire County Council gave us a school start date a day or two later than most other counties, and the weather reports were predicting rain. It did not rain. It was cool enough that I needed to wear a coat, so I could carry keys and wallet in zipped pockets and didn't need to carry a bag. The crowds stayed away.
There were no queues. I can't quite believe I have been able to say that. I have never been to a theme park before and had to queue so little. Last time we were there we managed to go on about 8 rides. This time, well I haven't totted it up yet, so here goes:
Nemesis x 3
Air x 3
Battle Galleons
Runaway Mine Train
The Flume
Skyride (we count this, as it took as much persuading to get Mr 7 on it as any other)
Marauders Mayhem
Heave Ho
Sharkbait Reef
Twirling Toadstool
Driving School
Oblivion x 2
Sonic Pinball
In the Night Garden
Nina and the Neurons
Nemesis is brilliant. It has been brilliant for 21 years. I bet there aren't many roller coasters that are just as exciting two decades after they were first installed. It wasn't my favourite, though.
My favourite is Air. I have never been on a coaster like it before. It is as close to flying as I will ever get. Absolutely fantastic. I was a bit nervous when I first saw how the seats tilted to suspend you face down, but the experience was amazing.
We last went there two years ago, having paid £8.50 of Tesco Clubcard for each of our tickets. It has taken us this long to save up our next batch of clubcard vouchers as we now only shop at Tesco for coffee, chicken pies and other odds and ends. In the meantime, Miss 12 reached the magic 1.4m. It makes such a difference to her being able to go on the big rides.
Mr 7 has not changed so much. He still dislikes most rides. We had trouble persuading him onto anything, and the list above is not really an accurate view of our day. On all but four of those rides we had at least two people standing and waiting while the others went on the ride.
The Skyride cable car was a notable exception. We persuaded Mr 7 on to it, and he spent the whole ride asking questions. Why were other people in our carriage? Why was there a recorded narration being played? Why did the narration start again even though the ride hadn't finished? Why did the car just stop? If a cable broke, would we crash to the ground?
His objection to the little rides in CBeebies land was that he has too big to like CBeebies. Oh well. He seemed quite happy with his day, watching everyone else have fun. And he did have his fair share of doughnuts!

An FCT High Court, Abuja, Wednesday, admitted the statements of one of the defendants standing trial over the N24bn police pension scam.
The court admitted the statements of Veronica Onyegbula, a former director at the Police Pension Office, Esai Dangabar, during the trial-within-trial.
The court dismissed the objection against the admissibility of her statements made to the EFCC on her alleged role in the N24bn pension fraud.
E.C. Ikeji, counsel for Onyegbula, had objected to the application of the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), to tender her statements dated February 13, 15, and 17, 2012, and May 2, 2102.
Onyegbula, a former cashier in the Police Pension Office, testifying as the first defence witness, had in the course of the trial challenged the admissibility of the statements, thus necessitating the need for the trial-within-trial.
Ikeji had argued that the statements were made "involuntarily" by the witness, and so could not be tendered in court.
Jacobs, however, countered Ikeji's argument, citing Section 104 of the Evidence Act.
Jocabs said: "My lord, recall that the trial-within-trial is a separate trial and I need to tender the documents for the purpose of the trial-within- trial because that is the subject matter of the trial-within-trial. We must prove whether the document which is the statement was taken voluntarily or not.
"My learned colleague can only argue on the procedure that the statements were taken and not the statements themselves. There is a need to look critically at the content of the documents in a bid to determine the voluntariness."
After listening to the arguments, the trial judge, went through the statements in contention and admitted them as Exhibits D1 to D5, respectively.
The case has been adjourned to October 9, 2018.

It's been a big year for women in the tech industry. On one hand, it's easy to see the downside in widespread reports of sexual harassment and all-too-common stories about the gender pay gap. But the very fact that these pitfalls—which any woman technologist will tell you are anything but new — are finally making headlines shows how deeply women are changing the way tech businesses work.
But women can't just sit back and wait for a seat at the table. We need to be proactive advocates for our own advancement in the male-dominated world of startups and tech companies. After all, a lack of upward mobility is a major reason why women leave technology careers, and they leave the industry almost twice as quickly as men.
How You Handle Conflict Could Determine Your SalaryJuly 24, 201701:41
The National Center for Women and Information Technology tells us that women hold only 26% of computing jobs in the United States; the percentages for women of color don't even crack double digits. And as we move up the chain of command, women's representation drops from 27% in entry-level positions to just 14% in the executive suite.
So what can you do to make sure you're not one of the statistics? Here are three key tools to help you shatter that persistent glass ceiling.
1. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
If you want to get ahead — especially in a workplace where you don't look like the majority — you need to get outside your comfort zone. Whether your goal is to land an overdue promotion or expand your technical skills, embracing opportunity is part of the journey.
You can't be afraid to tackle new tasks or challenges. And you shouldn't let imperfect qualifications or a lack of experience prevent you from raising your hand. Remember that discomfort is often a good sign that you're on the right track.
And don't be scared to share your goals openly with your boss and your colleagues. Let people know what you want and need to be successful. Don't keep your dreams to yourself.
2. Find a mentor, then be a mentor
When you're a woman in a male-dominated industry, it's easy to imagine that your struggles are unique. But many others before you have gone through similar experiences. The trick is finding those people and allowing them to help boost your confidence.
If you want to get ahead — especially in a workplace where you don't look like the majority — you need to get outside your comfort zone.
First, seek out other women technologists at your company, either within your department or on a wider scale. If your employer doesn't offer an affinity group for women, consider working with management and human resources to create one. (Remember, too, that many male allies are eager to provide guidance and support.) When women see other women making strides toward their goals, they're better able to believe in themselves. No matter whether you're a recent graduate or a senior contributor, it's important for women to see and hear other women stepping up and speaking out.
And it's equally important to pay it forward: If you're in a leadership position — even an informal one — step up into a mentorship role. It sends a powerful message to all employees on the importance of gender diversity. And countless mentors have told me they get as much out of the relationship as they give, sharing career aspirations with the women they mentor, keeping a fresh perspective and encouraging one other to pursue new opportunities.
No matter whether you're a recent graduate or a senior contributor, it's important for women to see and hear other women stepping up and speaking out.
3. Keep moving forward
Once you've started on your path, take active steps to keep the momentum going. Engaging with a community of like-minded people is one of the best ways for technologists to stay inspired and move past career roadblocks. Seek out technical women's groups in your local area, or on the web. The Anita Borg Institute facilitates local communities in 20 major cities around the world, as well as the Systers network, where women discuss issues, explore technologies, and connect online. Other organizations, like Project Include and NCWIT, help teach companies best practices for increasing women's participation in tech.
As computers and technology become even greater forces in our lives and in society, more and more organizations — even those that aren't traditionally "tech companies" — are hiring computer scientists, engineers and other STEM specialists. And, unsurprisingly, these same organizations are migrating toward tech-company cultural norms, too. So it's critically important for women technologists to get out in front of this shift and stake our claims. Together we can work toward a future where the people who imagine and build technology better reflect the people and societies that use it.

Vibrators come in all shapes and sizes; they are also made from various different materials and also different colours. There is a vibrator to suit everyone and to fit everyone as well. Buying a vibrator is very easy these days, all you have to do is go onto the internet and type in sex toys and a whole world of sex toys and sexual paraphernalia is available to you and everyone else. There are literally hundreds of sex shops on the internet, and in any country you can imagine, long gone are the days of only being able to buy item of a sexual nature form sex shops, now sex toys and sex shops are at your fingertips day and night.
Advertising is something else that has become common practise, there are TV adverts nowadays, showing how easy it is for you and your partner to choose from a huge range of sex toys which you should take great pleasure in choosing together and have fun while you do it. Only a few years ago these sorts of adverts would never have been heard of, let alone advertised. Although, we are a society of people who still find things to do with sex uncomfortable, there are more and more people using sex toys and visiting sex shops whether it is online or the actual premises.
Sex shops are no longer considered a dirty word or subject, people are much more open about their sexuality and the things that they enjoy doing at home behind closed doors. Obviously there are still many people out there who will disagree, and believe that anything to do with sex should not be openly discussed. But unfortunately, things have changed and so too have the times, sex is no longer considered a dirty word, and neither is talking about it or going to a sex shop, and buying a vibrator or other sexual item for pleasure.
There are many sex shops today that have become high street names, and are a common thing to be seen in. These days sexy lingerie is more readily available and so too are vibrators and other things that are used in the bedroom. The thing that some people seem to forget is that sex is all about having fun, there is nothing seedy about it unless you make it that way, we all want to have sex at some time in our lives, it is for most people a necessity, while others are quite happy pleasing themselves, but however we look at it, sex is here to stay and will be around for a very long time to come, so getting used to it is not an option, sex is a fact!

Debt amount:
Date debt issued:
Friday, 8 September 2017
Period debt occurred:
February 2016 to June 2016
Has your case been referred to a collection agency?:
Payment Type:
Appealing Debt?:
Yes & I won
Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
It was extremely stressful and they automatically took money out of my fortnightly payment twice with no warning.
I spent hours upon hours chasing the debt up.
I had it reviewed twice before it was sent off to the third party review officer who was the only person who actually listened to me.
The debt was finally then reduced to $60 after 1.5 years of waiting, phone calls and terrible communication.
None off the Centrelink staff knew the correct information and all told me different stories.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Terrible. I am an educated person who had all of my bank statements and pay slips and it still took me 1.5 years.
What hope is someone who is unable to advocate for themselves or does not have access to pay slips etc?

Remove Pro Search Tip (Removal Guide) - Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge
Pro Search Tip is a potentially unwanted program that sneaks in during the installation of free software obtained from third-party sites
Pro Search Tip is a browser extension designed for Google Chrome and Safari browsers. According to its developers, the tool is created to help users find relevant information quicker. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and, if anything, this potentially unwanted program[1] only deteriorates web browsing experience by flooding web browsers with ads, pop-ups, promotional links, deals, banners, offers, and other sponsored content.
Just as most of the other PUPs, Pro Search Tip virus enters users' machines with the help of software bundling. This technique allows freeware and shareware developers to deceive users during the installation process so that they easily miss the infiltration of the unwanted application. Once inside, it changes the settings of all installed browsers and sets the homepage and new tab URL to Search.prosearchtip.com.
Only after Pro Search Tip removal, you can get rid of the unwanted activities that this hijacker undertakes. Check out this article if you want to find out how to terminate the unwanted app, as well as improve the overall security of your device.
|Pro Search Tip
|Browser hijacker/PUP
|Set homepage and new tab
|Infection means
|Software bundles, ads on third-party sites
|Changed web browser homepage, search engine and new tab, intrusive ads, redirects, sponsored search results, etc.
|Potential dangers
|Installation of other PUPs, malware infections, money loss, personal data disclosure to unknown parties, etc.
|Use security software or delete the PUP manually with the help of our guide below
|To make sure that your system runs well after the cyber infection, scan it with Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego
Initially, the term "Pro Search Tip virus" might not seem entirely correct, as potentially unwanted programs are not considered to be malware[2] (many of such apps can also be downloaded via official sources, such as the App store or Amazon). Nevertheless, after the installation, everything that is done on the internet via the browser is affected by the Pro Search Tip add-on, as it dramatically influences which sites users visit, what ads they see, etc.
Unfortunately, not all of the commercial content displayed by Pro Search Tip is safe, as developers of PUP rarely check the quality or safety of sites they link users to. Besides, they cannot be accountable for anything either, as they often state in their ToS that they are not responsible for any content that the app may lead users to.
Finally, Pro Search Tip hijack also causes some privacy concerns, as potentially unwanted programs collect a variety of non-personally identifiable information, such as:
- IP address;
- Technical details of the computer;
- Sites visited;
- Links clicked;
- Bookmarks added;
- List of installed apps;
- Cookies;
- Search queries, etc.
This type of tracking is used in order to generate targeted advertisements, which consequently brings developers profits. Sadly, this also means that users' searches, visited sites and even purchased products might not be of the highest quality. What is more, some of the websites might promote fake deals, phishing, survey scams and also make users download malware.
Therefore, hurry up and remove Pro Search Tip from your computer. You can do either manually or automatically, although the latter is much safer, quicker, and easier. Finally, to get the best results and make sure your device is in its best condition, experts[3] recommend downloading Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego.
Pro Search Tip is a browser hijacker that altwers web browser settings, redirects users to suspicious sites, shows alternative search results and performs other unwanted activities on Google Chrome or Safari browsers
Do not get tricked to install potentially unwanted programs
While most of the frequent internet users already know about malware and how dangerous it is, threats like potentially unwanted programs are often forgotten. Nevertheless, PUPs might be very aggressive and even be just as harmful as malware, primarily if not handled carefully. Therefore, it is best to stay away from these unwanted apps in the first place.
There are two ways users infect their machines with browser hijackers, adware, or other PUPs:
- they unintentionally install it while establishing free software from the internet;
- they install it intentionally convinced by its functionality, not knowing that the application is actually PUP.
It is easy to avoid unwanted apps during shareware or freeware installation – you simply need to follow the installation steps carefully and not get deceived by pre-ticked boxes, grayed-out buttons, and similar tricks used by the developers. Most importantly, you should pick Advanced or Custom installation settings to terminate all the unwanted programs before they manage to sneak in.
When it comes to intentionally downloading potentially unwanted software, you should always make sure that the application is safe. First of all, you can scan the installer via tools like Virus Total. Secondly, you should always read reviews online, as they often hint if the app is safe.
Delete Pro Search Tip from your device either manually or automatically
There are two ways to remove Pro Search Tip virus from your device – either manually or automatically. While the first method can usually be accomplished quite easily (all you have to do is uninstall the browser extension), it might not be enough if you downloaded and installed additional apps while infected.
Therefore, automatic Pro Search Tip removal should be performed in a case when the suspicious activity does not cease. This can be accomplished by scanning the device with anti-malware software, especially the one that specializes in potentially unwanted programs would be effective. Otherwise, please follow the guide below and terminate Pro Search Tip manually.
You may remove virus damage with a help of Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego. SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes are recommended to detect potentially unwanted programs and viruses with all their files and registry entries that are related to them.
