Entrance Door to Mechanical Room
Q: We have an old dark room that was converted into an air handler room. What's the requirement for a door to this room?
A: It all depends where this former dark room is located. First of all, what is the occupancy designation for the building or area where this air handler is located? If it is business occupancy and the air handler does not include a gas-fired furnace, then it is very likely that no door is actually required to this room. However, if the building or area is designated as a healthcare occupancy, then it depends whether or not the room opens up onto a corridor. In healthcare occupancies, all corridors must be separated by walls and doors from all other areas. Now, there are some exceptions to this requirement, but an air handler room will not qualify for any of these exceptions. If the former dark room/air handler room does not open onto a corridor, but opens onto another room, then it is likely that a door would not be required, provided the air handler room does not contain anything to make it a hazardous room, such as fuel-fired equipment, or storage of combustibles of flammables. If the air handler room somehow qualifies as a hazardous room (see sections 184.108.40.206 of the 2000 edition of the LSC) then the room will need to be protected with automatic sprinklers, and the walls will be required to be 1-hour fire rated, and the doors will be required to be ¾-hour rated, self-closing and positive latching. All of that would be required even if the room does not open onto the corridor. If the air handler room is not considered to be a hazardous area, and the room opens onto a corridor, then the door is only required to resist the passage of smoke, or if the corridor is located in a non-sprinklered smoke compartment then a substantial door such as 1¾ inch thick, solid-bonded, wood-core door, or be of such construction to resist fire for at least 20 minutes. Notice it did not say the door had to be 20-minute fire rated. That is a common misunderstanding.

Understanding Stress
Stress is one of the biggest diseases of the 21st century.
Stress is one of the biggest diseases of the 21st century. Originally the word stress was only used for the pressure, or tension, exerted on a machine: engineers build in a calculation for stress to ensure that the machine functions correctly. Gradually, however, the term has become more and more popular to describe the state of human beings.
When we try to describe stress, a whole chain of words such as 'push', 'pull', 'pressure', 'more', or 'deadlines' comes to mind. To have to produce, to do more and more and to be better and better at it creates a lot of tension, which comes from the fear of not being able to achieve the result on time. The materialistic values of getting, having, accumulating and outdoing others in the form of ambition, competition and position produce a lot of stress.
When we are stressed, we are certainly overloaded. We think and speak too much and we overreact, all of which affect both body and mind negatively. The worst thing is that this becomes a habit, which is often uncontrolled, and so the simple solution of stopping and relaxing, meditating is not considered as a solution. Some even regard it as a useless waste of time.

Once again, it's time to try something a little different.
Once again, it's time to try something a little different.
Welcome to the first episode in my new series where I'll be discussing the opening moments (or so they should be) in videogames.
I know, I missed a week, but then again, I was resting from Shadocon & editing 2 videos (doesn't help that Adobe was being really prickish with one of the videos). Anyways, here's an awesome let's play of Twilight Princess from ThornBrain. WATCH IT NOW.
Did I mention that this is a group let's play? MST3K Style…… COME ON, WATCH IT, IT'S FUNNY.
Sorry for most of these being Zelda reviews, BUT I CAN'T HELP IT! I love the franchise way too much. Anyways, this week's pick comes to us from the Rowdy Reviewer who usually does a series called "TV Trash" but does cover other stuff occasionally (wrestling included). This video: Twilight Princess. FANBOYS BEWARE.
Also, WordPress is giving me a hard time with embedding the video, so you'll have to click the link for this one. Apologies for this.
To kick things off here for the pick of the week section I am not going to give you one, but FIVE videos from youtube user MatthewMatosis wherein he reviews the 5 3D Zelda games. That is 3.5 hours of awesome. ENJOY.
Now this is an ultimate showdown……. of ultimate destiny……… sorry.

1. a person who has learned a subject without the benefit of a teacher
or formal education; a self-taught person.
While this label certainly applies, it is misleading, because I have had many admirable and accomplished people as my teachers in many things, and some of them within the framework of formal education.
It is because I have been self-directed and compulsively passionate about learning since I was a small child that I have not had most of my education in a traditional way. I still make great use of the many useful and amazing discoveries, theories, research and accomplishments of our academic institutions. My desire to learn more than was offered at any one time has meant that I have often sought to remove the limits placed on learning by a particular theory or curriculum.

For World Health Day 2018, WHO calls on world leaders to take concrete steps to move towards universal health coverage (UHC). This means ensuring that everyone, everywhere can access quality health services without facing financial hardship, as set out in the Sustainable Development Goals all countries agreed in 2015.
Where health systems fail to provide adequate financial protection, people are forced to choose between health care and other basic needs. This undermines access to services, lowers health status, deepens poverty and exacerbates inequalities.
In the WHO European Region, some countries do well in meeting UHC goals, but all of them can do better to secure financial protection, especially for poorer people. New analysis finds that households in the poorest fifth of the population are most likely to experience catastrophic health spending, often due to out-of-pocket payments for medicines. They are also most likely to forego or delay seeking care due to cost and other barriers to access.
Acting on new evidence can move European Region towards UHC
In the coming months, WHO/Europe will publish a series of individual reports on financial protection in 25 countries. The context-specific analysis in these reports is generating evidence that policy-makers can use to ensure out-of-pocket payments do not push people into poverty.
Findings from a regional analysis of financial protection will be shared at a high-level technical meeting in Tallinn, Estonia in June 2018 – Health Systems for Prosperity and Solidarity: leaving no one behind – hosted by the Government of Estonia to celebrate 10 years of the Tallinn Charter: Health Systems for Health and Wealth.

Believe it or not, psychologists can watch a 10 minute conversation between spouses and predict with a high degree of accuracy which couples will remain together. Or would you believe that adding a sprig of parsley to the apostrophe in a soup can's logo can compel taste-testers to use the term "fresh" in their comments? These studies and more are described in the book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell.
A couple of the stories in particular had me thinking about Apple's product lines, marketing, and psychology. Whether conscious of it or not, Steve Jobs's company does a great job of appealing to people's underlying decision-making factors in their corporate strategies. Blink illuminates some of these otherwise murky processes.
One counter-intuitive factor in decision-making is that more options does not mean greater sales. Most people would think that we would rather get exactly what we want rather than have our choices limited. However, a study by Sheena Iyengar described in Blink found just the opposite. She set up a stand selling jelly. When offered 24 flavor options, only 3% of customers made a purchase, whereas 30% of customers bought when given only six choices.
Apple follows this example in several ways. The iPod line has always been limited to three or four base models, each with only two or three capacity choices and up to five color choices. Each of these decisions has few enough options to be quite manageable. Similarly, while slightly more complicated, Apple hardware is divided into a few simple categories. There are laptops or desktops. Within each category there is a consumer-level machine and a professional model. For example, in laptops there is the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. They are named to easily distinguish the intended market. Finally, for each model there are usually three basic configurations. Advanced users can specify components more precisely, but the average consumer has only a few limited choices to make. As a final example, Apple has made a point of the confusion surrounding the numerous versions of Microsoft Vista as compared to their own latest release, OS X Leopard. Leopard comes in only one version, with all the options included.
On the other hand, some of Apple's choices butt up against another psychological propensity, fear of the unfamiliar. Jobs tends to take product design risks, keeping Apple on the cutting edge. An analogous situation is described in Blink with the creation of the now ubiquitous Aeron office chair. It was the first such product to incorporate many ergonomic advances. The back was designed to fit the contours of a person's body, smaller at the base and larger at the top-- the opposite of traditional chairs. The chosen material was a thin, breathable plastic stretched tight over the frame, no padding or leather as in most high-end office products. The design was rated by early users extremely high in comfort but remarkably low in aesthetics. It took quite a while for people to get used to the chair and appreciate it. As Gladwell writes, "The problem is that buried among the things that we hate is a class of products that are in that category only because they are weird. They make us nervous. They are sufficiently different that it takes us some time to understand that we actually like them."
The psychology of consumerism is a large and complex topic. Gladwell's book focuses more on how our snap judgments can be useful once we are trained at recognizing situations where the subconscious can lead us astray. An article in Time magazine, "The Why of Buy", further discusses the neuroscience of buying decisions. They conclude that 95% of consumer purchasing is decided subconsciously. Also, "brands are so powerful that we are sometimes more likely to buy something we identify with than something we like better or that is better for us." The Apple brand has certainly been successful at entrenching itself in consumers' psyches. Whether they are conscious of it or not, Apple has very adroitly navigated the complexities of marketing.

NBA Finals Roundtable: Examining top storylines for Heat vs. Spurs
MAHONEY: Why the Heat will return to form in the Finals
Mahoney: False. Wade and Bosh have fallen on tough times, but they are still productive and valuable players under most normal contexts -- to say nothing of James' dominion over the entire game. Because of that, the Spurs not only lack in the top-end talent to match James but also come up a little short in comparisons between third wheels. Ginobili is terrific in his own right, but he is confined to a smaller role than Bosh because of limited minutes, he is a lesser defender and he can be a bit too wild with his shot selection and passing at times. If I were a coach, I would happily settle for either threesome. But if forced to choose, I'm still taking Miami's top three.
Mahoney: I'll cheat a bit and choose the Heat's three-headed, spot-shooting monster of Allen, Shane Battier and Mike Miller. All three serve functionally similar roles within Miami's offense, and in this series I expect them to play a significant role in terms of points scored and opportunities created. Only five teams allowed fewer three-point attempts than San Antonio during the regular season, but Miami is always capable of unsettling those perimeter defenders and creating open looks for its top three-point threats.
Mahoney:LeBron James. I wish it were more complex than that, but James' sweeping ability to change the course of any play on either end of the court looms over the series. Adjustments and matchup manipulation will help dictate the victors on individual possessions, but that can't soon replace the value of Miami having such an intelligent, adaptable player at the center of everything.

Kumar & Rathika
Our first Indian wedding under Through Our Eyes was quite an eye opener. I never expected the Indian wedding ritual to be so different.
And of course, the makeup session was done so fast, you just have to be amazed. I think it took half an hour for them to be done with the bride. Talk about efficiency! If it was a Chinese wedding, the make-up artist would be there for hours working on the bride alone.
And then, when it was time to pick up the bride, the groom is not present. This is indeed a change of direction for me. I was waiting for the groom to show up and I just saw the bride walking to the car. Luckily, we still managed to get the shots.
And then of course, the best part of the day is in the evening when you get to shoot a half-naked Indian priest. The whole ceremony was very interesting but it was all quite central. Unlike Chinese weddings where the couple move around, this was pretty much done and dusted on stage.
But the most interesting part was one of the last thing they did. The bride will put her feet on the stone and the groom will tie something to it. The act of putting her feet on the stone is a symbol that she will always remain strong for him. Amazing, ain't it?
So, thats a collection of my favourite pics, you can view the video here:

Deanne and I were riding in a shuttle bus to our hotel the first night of ACen 2016. We had gotten our badges, wandered around the vendor hall, and made plans to change outfits before heading back out for some panel sessions. We eagerly waited for our shuttle bus driver to pick us up.
Deanne and I were dressed fairly "normal" in comparison to many convention goers that day. Shortly after getting in the bus, we drove past many ACen attendees wearing various cosplays from their favorite anime and such. Almost immediately after seeing these cosplayers, the bus driver turns to us and says: "What scares me, is these kids will be running the country in 20 years."
Deanne and I sat in silence for the remainder of the shuttle ride. When we returned to our hotel room, we both talked about his statement and how it bothered us to hear that. Although we looked normal at that moment, we were those attendees too. We are cosplayers. We are fans. We are "the kids who will [run] the country in 20 years."
Why were his words an insult to us? He was scared of a community he did not understand. I so badly wanted to explain to him how loving and accepting our community is. I wanted him to know the talent, the kindness, and the hospitality of our community. I wanted him to understand our love for anime, for gaming, for cosplaying and how it brought us together at ACen 2016.
Deanne told me how the driver made her uncomfortable and how she was saddened that there "are still some people out there who still view people like us at some kind of social stigma. It only motivates me to continue spreading a more positive image of people in the geek and otaku culture." Deanne has always loved going to ACen, and although our experience with the shuttle driver was a depressing moment of the weekend, Deanne said that ACen gave her "a sense of belonging."
I was present at ACen 2016 as press, and something new and exciting that I have never done as press before, was attend press sessions. This was an exciting opportunity to ask some of the guests of ACen 2016 their impressions of our community, because I truly wanted to know what they thought of their fans.
The first press session I attended was Eir Aoi. Eir Aoi is a singer who is well known in the anime community for her songs in various Anime. For her press interview, she had a translator, and from the little Japanese I know, I noticed she was a very polite woman. When asked about her happiest moments at conventions in the United States, she told us how impressed she was with our community, our love for anime, and our love for Japanese culture. Although the "spontaneous energy" from the fans is overwhelming at times for her, Eir Aoi expressed how she admired our community as a whole.
I also attended a press session for Monica Rial, a well-known voice actress who has been in the industry for 17 years. I was very inspired by what she had to say about the community. When asked about her impression of her fans, she immediately said she loved her fans. She loves going to conventions and having fans appreciate the work she does. One thing she said to me that I really admired was: "I love this community, and I think that's why I've been going to conventions for so long and I will continue to go to anime conventions for so long."
She is especially impressed with the kindness of strangers at anime conventions. She also said that "the good outweighs the bad" at conventions. She joked of how she's been in the industry for 17 years and how she has had a couple of weird instances, but everything had been mostly positive in this community. Her favorite interactions are with kids and how over the years she's seen fans grow up and now bring their own children to the conventions. She loves the community and all the positivity she sees in it.
As I left my last press session, I wandered through the vendor hall, admiring and purchasing some artwork from some of the artists. After purchasing a piece of artwork for my sister, I wandered back towards the panel session area to sit and wait for my friends. As I waited, I noticed the artist whom I just purchased a piece from walk down the hallway I was in. He must have seen the disappointment on my face, knowing that the convention was coming to an end. He approached me and asked "are you doing alright?" In that moment, I remembered how lucky I was to be a part of the community, and how loving and caring we are. I smiled and thanked him for asking me. He certainly had a booth to return to, but he took the time to approach me to be sure I was alright. A fitting end to my time at ACen 2016.
Although ACen 2016 has come and gone, I look forward to the next 20 years, just to see how great of a world we can make.

Favorite Drug Store Lipsticks
Hello my beauties and welcome back to my blog! So today's blog is going to be more of a quick little talk through of what my favorite drug store lipsticks are and as you can already tell they are MILANI LIPSTICKS. WOO! Milani Lipsticks have always been my favorite drugstore lipsticks. I love how pigmented they are, they are so inexpensive and they smell soooooooooooooooo GOOD! To me these lipsticks seem to all have the same smell and they all smell like vanilla, vanilla bean, white chocolate I don't know I just know that it smells delicious. No lie sometimes I wished I could eat it! Lol! Aside from its beautiful smell its so inexpensive I believe they are like $4.99 in most drug stores, which is always a plus. A good lipstick and on your budget... Doesn't get any better than that! Milani Lipsticks are a must have for my beauties who want a good lipstick but don't want to break their pockets. So I really recommend my beauties to give these lipsticks a try and let me know how much you loved them!!! So I think that will be all for this blog. Don't forget to LIKE and SHARE my facebook page @JulieesVanity . Until next time, love you beauties!

Monteverdi's Vespers is so grand in scale and sensuous in sound it hardly needs help, but many performers can't resist the temptation to gild the lily a little. Those wonderful echo effects between one soft-grained wooden cornett and another - isn't it tempting to put one of them high up in a gallery, just to highlight the effect? And that repeated bell-like plainchant figure in the dancing Sonata sopra Sancta Maria movement - wouldn't that suit the pure tone of a boy's choir, separated off from the main choir?
These ideas are sanctioned by the thought that the Vespers may have been performed in the vast space of St. Marks Basilica in Venice, where performers can be scattered around the numerous galleries on different levels. But - as a kind reader reminded me the other day - it was actually composed for the much more modest Ducal Chapel in Mantua.
It was that more intimate space that was evoked in this performance by the Italian group La Venexiana, which opened the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music. There were just eleven singers, spread out in a crescent across the stage of St John's Smith Square, with the three lutenists in front, the cornet players squeezed in at one end and the three violinists at the other. Tucked out of sight behind the choir were the flautists and the cello.
At the front was the group's director Claudio Cavina, who was no further than a feet away from every performer. This meant he could mould every phrase, an opportunity he seized on with relish. Even the little plainsong phrases, added in this performance to give a flavour of the liturgical context, were shaped word by word. Sometimes it seemed too controlling and febrile in its intensity, the final syllables cut off too fiercely - especially in the clear but ungenerous acoustic of St. John's.
But as the piece unfolded and the performers relaxed the music took fire. The massed sound was just as rich and sonorous as one hoped for, but what was thrillingly new was the vividness of the words, and the focusing-in on moments of harmonic intensity. In the concerto 'Audi Coelum' there was a moment when the tenor Makoto Sakurada paused so long on a deliciously tense harmony it was like leaning over an abyss. The thrill of these uncanny moments, mingled with straightforward sensuous delight made for an intoxicating evening.

Did you know the dental erosion can be harmful to your smile immediately after eating? This is because your teeth tend to be extra sensitive to acids that may have come into contact with them at this time. However, your brush may be too abrasive along with your toothpaste. Thus, an alternative cleaning utensil should be used. One highly effective treatment to consider is with chewing sugarless gum.
By chewing gum directly after meals, you can drastically lower your risk for cavities. Chewing gum works because it helps spur on the addition of saliva flow in your mouth. Saliva is a key ingredient for your oral health to prevent cavities. Not only can saliva wash away food debris that may linger in your mouth after meals, but it can also help to neutralize harmful acids in your mouth and provide disease-fighting substances as well.
If you do decide to use sugarless chewing gum after meals, always make sure that it is indeed true sugarless. This is because sugars in traditional gum have been shown to be damaging to your teeth. In fact, plaque can actually convert the sugars in the harmful acids that will directly produce dental erosion. Thus, stick to sugarless gum.
Are you ready for a smile enhancement therapy? If so, please call 856-429-4600 to schedule an appointment with Zonies-Holgado Dental Associates at our office in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Dr. Marco Holgado and our expert team are here to ensure you receive the smile enhancement therapy your oral health needs.

Looking for ideas to live a more eco-conscious and sustainable life with your family but it all feels too overwhelming? Maybe you're not sure where to start? Check out the small steps we've taken over time to slowly but surely live a more sustainable family life in a modern world.
All too often, we forge ahead and strive to tackle our ambitious goals without looking back to reflect on what we've accomplished. We have lots of hopes and dreams for the future that sometimes seem overwhelming. How will we ever make them happen?
Like a mason, however, if we chip away at our goals brick by brick by brick, it's pretty crazy what we can create and accomplish with consistent effort.
While I'm nowhere near perfect and have lots of plans and dreams for the future, I thought it would be interesting and helpful to take an inventory of the ethical and eco-friendly changes my family and I have made in our lives over the last couple of years. Maybe some of them will resonate with you?
Reese, from Compost and Cava, set a goal to make 100 Greener Choices in her life, and I decided to give this a shot as well. Some of them we've already made (and I'm totally taking credit). As we make more, I'll share them on the blog and link them up below. One day.. some day.. 100 little items on this list will reflect a world of change we've made in our lives (big and small) to be a better steward to our community, our Earth, and the humans that call it home.
Take a look through all these posts from the archives of the blog chronicling our mini accomplishments and fun successes toward a more zero waste, eco-conscious and sustainable yet modern family life.
Achievable Ethical & Eco-Friendly Goals for Modern Families
Have you tried or accomplished any of the same goals? Tell me in the comments about the steps you and your family are taking to lead a more sustainable life! We're all in this together. 🙂

Fake My Hermes notification of delivery – "Order AW_369_0420_3C Confirmed" delivers malware
It is definitely a Freaky Friday today. Loads of malware hitting UK, although it is Good Friday & a Public Holiday in UK with most businesses closed for the long Easter Weekend holidays and nothing open till Tuesday.
An email pretending to be a My Hermes notification of delivery with the subject of "Order AW_369_0420_3C Confirmed" coming from email@example.com with a link in the email to download a zip file.
The headers appear to show this coming via the Mailchimp network, But I think that part of the headers are forged. None of the actual sending IPs appear to be anything to do with Mailchimp. This just doesn't feel like Mailchimp are associated with this one.
They use email addresses and subjects that will entice a user to read the email and open the attachment. A very high proportion are being targeted at small and medium size businesses, with the hope of getting a better response than they do from consumers, although this one does seem more consumer targeted from the email.
My Hermes or any other delivery company mentioned in these emails have not been hacked or had their email or other servers compromised. They are not sending the emails to you. They are just innocent victims in exactly the same way as every recipient of these emails
Now this is where the delivery chain gets complicated & involved:
It starts with the link in the email to https://kdotcombooking.com/customer.info/AW_369_0420_3C-order-info Where a zip file is downloaded.
AW_369_0420_3C-order-info.zip : Extracts to: AW_369_0420_3C-order-info.lnk Current Virus total detections: Anyrun | Hybrid Analysis |Hybrid Analysis extracted lnk file |
This lnk file downloads http://updatesoftures.com/orders/boston.ps1 ( which I cannot get anything from & get a 403 trying) but Anyrun could get something. This shows a bits admin connection to https://updatesoftures.com/orders/bett12est.txt ( VirusTotal) which downloads an encrypted certificate file which has the malware payload embedded inside it which is decoded/extracted by the certutil utility built in to windows on the computer to give fder43hg.exe (VirusTotal) | Anyrun |Hybrid Analysis |
I am not certain what this is yet, but is does give indications of keylogger capabilities. It is connecting to or attempting to connect to hundreds of random named .eu domains, as well as contacting Baidu for something.
Update: the general consensus is that the downloader is a version of Snatchloader that is delivering what looks like Ramnit banking trojan payload
Update 5 April 2018: there has been a very worrying update to this malware delivery method. I have been informed that today's emails have the correct full details of the recipient. That is Full name, Full address, correct mobile or other phone number.
We cannot currently confirm where this personal information in the emails has come from. It must have come from one of the breaches or dumps that has been posted over recent months or years. The only thing in common I can find from 2 email addresses that have sent me details is that both are listed in Have I Been Pwned with details from the onliner spambot dump ( But I wasn't previously aware that real addresses & phone numbers were in that dump.
I haven't received any myself, but a couple of recipients have commented in the comments & I have been sent one copy via our submissions system. I can't get any eventual payload today myself from the links, but they are, at least in the initial stages, the same sites as stated above updatesoftures.com. starting with http://updatesoftures.com/tmp/gr45wq.ps1 which is giving me a 403 forbidden. These emails are imitating various delivery companies.
Update, one of the researchers managed to download the PS1 & get the payload https://updatesoftures.com/tmp/er12t1.txt which needs decoding via certutil to give Ramnit banking trojan ( anyrun )
There are loads of links in the bodies of the emails, so far I have been informed about these
- https://wifisuccessclub.com/orders/3362_GP-346-V9E-processing
- https://mutualrealtyinvest.com/customer.info/8388.UXW929_TLM-processing-info
- https://ipl-server2.com/order-confirmation/2556_OSF.704.ADU-processing
- https://lostrabajo.com/delivery.confirm/8797_US-025.85C-processing
Update 6 April 2018: Another run of this today with some changes. Main change is to the site hosting the ps1 & txt file which has switched from updatesoftures.com to fordekoms.com. I haven't seen the email yet today & am only going on the link to the zip I was sent.
Original link is to https://getfitgal.com/delivery/3463-DA-036-ZV1-orders which delivers 3463-DA-036-ZV1-orders.zip ( VirusTotal) ( Anyrun ) containing a .lnk file which downloads https://fordekoms.com/df12a/gf3412a.ps1 ( VirusTotal) which is encrypted /encoded but in turn downloads https://fordekoms.com/df12a/fhq12a.txt ( VirusTotal) which is an encrypted certificate which is decoded by certutil.exe to give gf54rt32t.exe ( VirusTotal )
All files in today's zip ( P/W "infected" )
Update 11 April 2018. These still continue
Starts with https://crtdigital.com/orders/4203.WMB-564_46E-order 404 for me when I tried but original recipient got the full chain and the zip containing a lnk file that goes to https://fordekoms.com/rw3q5/l4e12b.ps1 which uses bitsadmin to download from https://fordekoms.com/rw3q5/u83qw21a.txt and uses certutil.exe to decode to frty521q.exe which in turn downloads sfsmcmjr.exe but I can't actually see where from in the Anyrun report

These malicious attachments normally have a password stealing component, with the aim of stealing your bank, PayPal or other financial details along with your email or FTP ( web space) log in credentials. Many of them are also designed to specifically steal your Facebook and other social network log in details. A very high proportion are Ransomware versions that encrypt your files and demand money ( about £350/$400) to recover the files.All the alleged senders, amounts, reference numbers, Bank codes, companies, names of employees, employee positions, email addresses and phone numbers mentioned in the emails are all random. Some of these companies will exist and some won't. Don't try to respond by phone or email, all you will do is end up with an innocent person or company who have had their details spoofed and picked at random from a long list that the bad guys have previously found. The bad guys choose companies, Government departments and organisations with subjects that are designed to entice you or alarm you into blindly opening the attachment or clicking the link in the email to see what is happening.
Please read our How to protect yourselves page for simple, sensible advice on how to avoid being infected by this sort of socially engineered malware.
Previous campaigns over the last few weeks have delivered numerous different download sites and malware versions. There are frequently 5 or 6 and even up to 150 download locations on some days, sometimes delivering the exactly same malware from all locations and sometimes slightly different malware versions. Dridex /Locky does update at frequent intervals during the day, sometimes as quickly as every hour, so you might get a different version of these nasty Ransomware or Banking password stealer Trojans.
This is another one of the files that unless you have "show known file extensions enabled", can easily be mistaken for a genuine DOC / PDF / JPG or other common file instead of the .EXE / .JS file it really is, so making it much more likely for you to accidentally open it and be infected.
Be very careful with email attachments. All of these emails use Social engineering tricks to persuade you to open the attachments that come with the email. Whether it is a message saying "look at this picture of me I took last night" and it appears to come from a friend or is more targeted at somebody who regularly is likely to receive PDF attachments or Word .doc attachments or any other common file that you use every day.
The basic rule is NEVER open any attachment to an email, unless you are expecting it. Now that is very easy to say but quite hard to put into practice, because we all get emails with files attached to them. Our friends and family love to send us pictures of them doing silly things, or even cute pictures of the children or pets.
Never just blindly click on the file in your email program. Always save the file to your downloads folder, so you can check it first. Many malicious files that are attached to emails will have a faked extension. That is the 3 letters at the end of the file name. Unfortunately windows by default hides the file extensions so you need to Set your folder options to "show known file types. Then when you unzip the zip file that is supposed to contain the pictures of "Sally's dog catching a ball" or a report in word document format that work has supposedly sent you to finish working on at the weekend, or an invoice or order confirmation from some company, you can easily see if it is a picture or document & not a malicious program.
If you see JS or .EXE or .COM or .PIF or .SCR or .HTA .vbs, .wsf , .jse .jar at the end of the file name DO NOT click on it or try to open it, it will infect you.
While the malicious program is inside the zip file, it cannot harm you or automatically run. When it is just sitting unzipped in your downloads folder it won't infect you, provided you don't click it to run it. Just delete the zip and any extracted file and everything will be OK. You can always run a scan with your antivirus to be sure. There are some zip files that can be configured by the bad guys to automatically run the malware file when you double click the zip to extract the file. If you right click any suspicious zip file received, and select extract here or extract to folder ( after saving the zip to a folder on the computer) that risk is virtually eliminated. Never attempt to open a zip directly from your email, that is a guaranteed way to get infected. The best way is to just delete the unexpected zip and not risk any infection.

Maryland Position Breakdown: Defensive Line
The return of Jesse Aniebonam and transfer of Bryan Cowart will be well-received for a Maryland defensive line that ranked toward the bottom of the Big Ten in sacks last season.
The return of Jesse Aniebonam and transfer of Bryan Cowart will be well-received for a Maryland defensive line that ranked toward the bottom of the Big Ten in sacks last season.
Although Maryland left Austin with a win Saturday evening, they lost both Tyrrell Pigrome and Jesse Aniebonam to injury, head coach DJ Durkin announced.
The team was without its two starting offensive tackles, as well as two running backs, in a 35-14 loss to Temple in College Park.
Maryland drops its first game of the season and heads into conference play with a 2-1 record.
The final score underscores what was an extremely sloppy first half.
After a tumultuous summer, the Maryland Terrapins head to Landover, Maryland, to open their season against the Texas Longhorns at FedEx Field. The team went on the road last year to open its season and stunned No. 23 Texas, 51-41.
The TLB staff gave their input on who they thought would lead the Maryland Terrapins football team this season.
Fans will have to wait until Saturday afternoon to see who lines up under center for the Terps.

Eugowra calls in a new mobile tower
Mobile black spots in the region are slowly being phased out, with four new Optus towers switched on.
Eugowra, Bribbaree, Cultowa and Gooloogong are the latest towns that have had their mobile coverage improved through the Federal Government's Mobile Black Spot Program.
The program was rolled out in 2015 and aims to improve mobile coverage and competition across Australia.
Optus Territory General Manager, Central West NSW Tom O'Dea said they jumped on board to build the towers to increase coverage and to help local communities.
Mr O'Dea said improved mobile coverage allows for businesses, farmers and people passing through more choice in service providers.
Federal Member for Calare Andrew Gee said the new base stations put into operation were very exciting as they allow people more choice and wider coverage.
The new base station at Eugowra is co-located with Optus and Vodafone.
Mr Gee said the co-located base stations are set to provide more value for customers and more value to the Mobile Black Spot Program.
"Improving mobile black spots are very important for regional Australia."
Mr Gee said the improvement of mobile black spots is also important for emergency services, tourism and local businesses.
The Calare electorate has been awarded $5 million from Round 4 of the program, and has had 36 new mobile sites become operational in recent years.
Round five of the Mobile Black Spot Program is open to applications.
Interested communities are encouraged to contact the mobile network operators and their local member to make their needs known.

Azadirachta indica (Neem) is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae. It is one of two species in the genus Azadirachta, and is native to India, Burma, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Pakistan, growing in tropical and semi-tropical regions. Other vernacular names include Neem (Hindi, Urdu), Nim ((Bengali)), Nimm (Punjabi), Arya Veppu (Malayalam), Azad Dirakht (Persian), Nimba (Sanskrit, Oriya), Kadu-Limba (Marathi), DogonYaro (in some Nigerian languages), Margosa, Neeb (Arabic), Nimtree, Vepu, Vempu, Vepa (Telugu), Bevu (Kannada), Kohomba (Sinhala), Vembu (Tamil), Tamar (Burmese), sầu đâu, xoan Ấn Độ (Vietnamese), Paraiso (Spanish), and Indian Lilac (English). In East Africa it is also known as Muarubaini (Swahili), which means the tree of the 40, as it is said to treat 40 different diseases.
Neem is a fast-growing tree that can reach a height of 15–20 m (about 50–65 feet), rarely to 35–40 m (115–131 feet). It is evergreen, but in severe drought it may shed most or nearly all of its leaves. The branches are wide spread. The fairly dense crown is roundish or oval and may reach the diameter of 15–20 m in old, free-standing specimens.

"Kring, how do you keep your skin so nice and smooth?", a colleague once asked me. I was flattered beyond belief until I realized that she has a 400/450 vision and she wasn't wearing any glasses or contacts. I don't have the best skin in the world but I must say it has improved A LOT from how it was about 4 years ago. No shit. My breakouts were so tragic, a zit would sprout ON a boil bigger zit and they'd have like zit conventions on my face, which resulted to ugly scars and blemishes- in the shape of the Philippine map.
So I don't really know what that intro has to do with my entry lolz because I present to you the *points to title*. And also, I have no intentions of becoming a beauty blogger anytime soon as that actually requires knowledge of beauty products and tips and such. These are just the things I use that rock my Sponge Bob socks and I thought I might as well share 'em.
1. Pond's Cold Cream
You can never go wrong with this product. Generations of women have attested to the awesomeness of the Pond's Cold Cream and in fact, I learned about it 'coz my mom has been using it since time immemorial. For me, it's the best make-up and dirt remover and it's very very affordable. If you're also like me who does Britney Spears impersonations for a massage, you may use it for your facial erm… massage and it really does soothe your skin. Why buy those expensive make-up removers when IMO, this is the only thing that does the trick?

Reply to: Sony DVP-CX985V Megachanger wont spin up DVDs
OK, Well an old topic but what the Hey---I sill use this Sony, even though most of the time, these days, I stream.
I thought the butter as lubrication was pretty interesting. I would definably have gone with something like the Tri-Flow---which was microscopic silicate ball-bearings in Silicon colloid suspension. Nowadays tri-flow is just another petroleum product.
This Sony had HDMI when we, none of us, even knew what HDMI was :-)
Anyway Why-not, I've been a computer geek, Enterprise IT since 1980; I started working on an IBM 360 at /JSC, the same year I built my first PC..Radio-Shack Mod I. My career Enterprise and my Hobby, have gone hand in hand ever since. I like to tell kids today that I've forgotten more than they will ever know; Unfortunately it's true. I've forgotten more thanI'll ever know as well.
I have my own innovative solution to the situation you describe. Smartphones can do a lot, especialy if you root an android,; but this one task requires something a little different--Like a Palm Pilot lllxe with 8 Meg of memory. What I did one day was create a Macro on my Palm Pilot that completely programs my Sony 400. I have a 300 CD Changer, also programmable but Both will loose all their programming if they lose power.
So my Palm Pilot, still working---I just point it at the Sony and go to lunch or Dinner; It just feeds IR signals to the Sony one at a time until it's all programmed the way I want it.; It WAS a pain creating those Super Macros--but I only had to do it once; Actually I created a few different program "theme;
NO DVD STILL, has a super long life on the optical eye; For some time Hong Kong was selling the Optical reader for this Sony.; Not sure if they still do; I see Ebay has some sellers who still carry the 3 critical belts for this unit; Usually the optical heads give way before anything else.
Sony created some Incredible well designed and engineered Electronic, till they started planting "spyware" chips in their consummer goods. I've neve rhad a Sony anything that I didnt think was well made. Still have my Sony Mini-CD Players :-). The Programming interface is very primitive but this thing was WAY ahead of it's time in so many areas of engineering. Programming is What I do--or at least did for the first 20 years of my Career. Moved to NYC, worked for Wall Street--Still Enterprie IT, but they shoved me in Middle Management. I like the hands-on. I can stand the rain!
And no I don't use Twitter or Facebook nor do I thumb Text messages on a "Smart"Phone. I will not be constrained by 140 characters! lol

Genres: Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Supernatural
Episodes: 5
Status: Ongoing
Airing Date: Sep 10, 2016
Wow, it has been a while since I have posted about anime so here goes. I was looking for something with romance and magic. Came across this gem. Half way through the second episode I posted on my facebook account that I wanted to give this a try and wanted to like this anime. It was weird because she had been bought so she could be taught magic and to become a future wife to someone. Someone told me it was a good series and to keep watching.
If you can find the first 3 starter episodes I recommend watching it. It goes into more detail of what happened in her childhood and how she gets to where she is in present time.
It starts out with a girl, Hatori Chise who is 16 years old. She can see things that normal people can't. Chise gets passed around from relative to relative because everyone is freaked out by her. One day, she ends up in an auction house and gets bought by a magus for a hefty price. From this magus, she learns about magic and a little of what she is.
Chise is a very magical person, and with her abilities everyone wants her. She goes on some really tough and fun adventures, learning about life and how to use magic.
It has so many feels, with this anime it's a sea of emotions. Your heart breaks, becomes happy and sad. You some times just want to slap both Chise and the Magus.
I really love this anime despite the anime being newly released. Now, my friend told me when I finished with the episodes I should read the manga. Really fell in love with the series a bit more. It's probably because there are more stories, more fantasy creatures. Just seeing how Chise and the Magus learn and interact is exciting and leaves you wanting more.
It's really rare for me to watch and read a series that is not finished yet. Can't wait to see the manga come to life in the anime episodes! While I wait I might just go and finish the first 5 chapters of the manga (I sure did, I started the manga about where episode 4 stopped).

Is there a way I can use Qualys to scan all UNIX/Linux servers checking the /etc/passwd file in all servers and validate "X" user id that they don't have anything different to /bin/false or /sbin/nologin. In otherwords, the "X" accounts do not have permissions in the /bin/false or /sbin/nologin.

Jeremy Lin suffers apparent right knee injury in Nets' season opener
19 Oct 2017, 09:10 IST
Just a day after Gordon Hayward's horrific leg injury on opening night, the NBA witnessed probably another serious leg injury. Although not of the same magnitude, Brooklyn Nets' Jeremy Lin looked in serious discomfort, with respect to his right knee, landing awkwardly after a layup attempt:
He can be seen saying "I'm done" multiple times. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, there is serious concern regarding the fall:
Unlike Hayward, Lin did walk off the floor by himself as he headed towards the locker room. He even took to Twitter to post this message:
While the severity of the injury was yet to be known and announced, a couple of Lin's teammates tweeted prayers and good wishes:

Appointments available in :
Bishop's Castle
I provide a mobile massage service for those clients who would prefer a treatment in the comfort of their own home.
Mobile bookings are only available for bookings of at least ONE hour treatments within a 10 mile radius of Bishop's Castle.
Treatments are available on a couch, or in a seated massage chair for those clients who may find it difficult to be treated lying flat. This will be discussed at the time of booking.
Please allow 48 hours notice for booking a home visit.
A surcharge will be made on any home treatment to cover time and travel costs. This is for clients outside a 10 mile radius of Bishop's Castle.
If you require a home visit, please ensure that the room in which the treatment will be carried out has sufficient clear space for a couch and for me to move around it.
Due to the weight of the couch, I can only offer these treatments on the ground floor.
Please also ensure that there is sufficient heating and ventilation in the room. Massage is much more relaxing and beneficial in a warm environment. I will also require access to hand washing facilities.
When booking a mobile visit a £10 non refundable deposit will be required, payable via BACS. This will be deducted from the total cost of your treatment(s) on the day.

Here are the first of my button collections. No, I know there are not very many of them, but I am not thinking of buttons down a cardigan, I am thinking more for embellishing a cuff or a neck piece, or a bag. Or even a handmade journal. What do you think?

Several months ago I received a really sweet letter from a woman I have never met named Amy. It was titled "indirect impacts, circling back to you". Amy is a member of a weaving guild in Maine. At one of their monthly meetings, another member, who had recently taken my class, brought in her sample card to pass around. Amy wrote to me, that the purple dye had made a real impression with her, and she asked the guild member about its source. The person who took my class shared with her the story about its slow growth, how it should be harvested from the ground; beneath the rocks where it grows, and the lengthy process used to transform the dye to magenta.
A few months after her encounter with the dye samples, Amy said she took a favorite hike, up a hill that overlooks the river. She remembered that the granite rock faces are covered with the peeling lichen she had seen in the photo handout that the guild member had shared. So she took a look around at the base of the rocks, and to her surprise, found broken off pieces of the lichen everywhere! She first filled her hands, then her pockets, and then her hat!
Amy generously offered to send me what she had gathered, in exchange for nothing more than a fistfull of magenta, and today, I was finally able to honor her request. I am also sending her a few other extremely bright mushroom dyed samples and some soft Umbilicaria dyed alpaca yarn.
Her donation was ample, and will supply a year or more classes with the joyful magenta dye. As a teacher, there is nothing more rewarding seeing the the excitement that this color brings my students. Well, maybe one thing, and that is hearing that my stories bring others to experience nature's bounty in a new way.
"We enjoyed our hike. We usually take it for the long view — it's a rather high spot with great views up and down the river, and it eventually takes you to a tiny cemetery with gravestones from the 1700s. So, yesterday's hike, in addition to the long view — also included the contrast of the up-close perusal of the leaf matter at the base of the granite outcroppings, and a new appreciation of this fungus. It added to the pleasure of the hike, to be shifting our focus back and forth from the view down the river, to a close examination of what lay at our feet."
Thank you for this story Amy, and thank you for your donation!

Take this moment and pause. I know you can hear them. The voices in your head. Talking to you. Telling you things. How others are thinking, feeling. Listen to them.
Every writer I know has the gift/curse of voices in their head that are not their own.
Note: This is not to make fun of or make light of schizophrenia, a mental illness that millions live with and I do not claim to know anything about their journey. When I mention voices in a writer's head, I'm talking about characters.
For a writer, these voices can become loud and distracting. Borderline domineering.
It isn't a secret that one of the more important elements of a story is the character(s) you create. Whether you craft your character(s) to be loved, emulated, or feared, you want them to be remembered. The best way to achieve this is to listen.
As writers, we often think of ourselves as gods. We create whole worlds and people them as we see fit.
I'm going to let you in on a secret: Sometimes, you're not the god. Sometimes, you're just the transcriber.
There is a lot of advice on writing out there in our wide world. A lot of good advice (a lot of bad, too, but we won't focus on that). The experts tell us how to plot and craft our stories to make sure they are the best they can be. In our pursuits of solid story structure, we often try to cram our characters into certain molds and restrictions. We want them to go from point A to B to C. There are times that they don't want to go from A to B to C. Sometimes, they want to go from A to M to F to R. Or start from Z.
Here's the thing: As frustrating as it can be when your character isn't cooperating in the rigid structure you've created, you need to let them be who they are. Your story will be a lot richer for it.
Example: My short story Yanka and the Dragons
I was in a rush. I wanted to get this story out into the wide world as a fundraiser, and I created a story structure and crammed Yanka, her brothers, and everyone else into a tight (too tight) storyline. Did it work? On some levels, yes. It was a cute story. Some beta readers loved it. Others, not so much. Why? Because, my characters weren't living. They were passive aggressively protesting, and I didn't notice.
It was killing my story.
One Beta reader saw this. They saw poor Yanka pouting as only a ten-year-old-child-with-a-lot-to-say-and-not-allowed-to-say-it could pout. So, I finally listened. It turned out, there was a lot to Yanka I hadn't noticed before. The things she told me lit up my world, and the story. Because I listened, the story is a lot more exciting and has opened up the possibility for a lot more stories to follow. A lot more.
Your characters have a voice. They need to be heard. Give them their agency and see where it takes them.
Now, remind them of the rules. Let them see the structure. They can be a bit like a child testing their boundaries, but assure them those boundaries are there for their own good. Without them, they'll get into trouble and you won't be able to rescue them. They'll probably burn the whole story down, too.
So, what are your characters trying to tell you? Are you listening? Let me know your struggles and triumphs in the comments below!
I would love to discuss this story and more with you. You can Contact me through email, or Facebook, Twitter, or Goodreads.
And, if you're an author, I want to offer you help in any way I can. Check out my Author Services page to see more.

Need a good book? These are what you're looking for:
Yanka and the Dragons:
Ten year-old Yanka Ouedraogo finds that dragons are not monsters of stories. They are real, and they are coming. After the arrival of mysterious Princess Su Yin, Yanka discovers her mama once bore the title of Dragon Watcher for the legendary Knights of Tiqvah. Mama leaves to stop the onslaught of dragons and tasks Yanka with protecting her two younger brothers. One problem: after her father's death, Yanka fears she's the last person to protect anyone. When dragons invade her village, Yanka learns they want one thing: her. Can she escape the invasion and prove able to protect her brothers? Will the mysterious Knights of Tiqvah arrive to save the day? Or will a new Dragon Watcher appear and stop the carnage in time? (Middle Grade level, but good for the whole family!)
The Piano Player:
World famous musician Mike Jonas broke a promise. Greek muse of music, Euterpe, gave him fame and fortune in return for his complete devotion. When a new love enters his life, Euterpe strikes. She kidnaps Mike's fiancée Megan and threatens her life unless Mike proves that he still belongs to her. In his quest to fulfill Euterpe's test, Mike is shaken to his core and all he holds as true is questioned. (Does contain language that might not be suitable for children.)

As many as 40 percent of all pregnancies may end in miscarriage, often before a woman even realizes that she's pregnant. A miscarriage is a pregnancy loss that occurs before the 20th week of pregnancy.
Most miscarriages occur in the first trimester (prior to 13 weeks). Of the 1 percent to 5 percent of pregnancies that result in miscarriage in the second trimester (between 13-19 weeks), these losses are oftentimes related to problems with the uterus or a weakened cervix that prematurely dilates.
The causes of first-trimester miscarriage are not thoroughly understood. Most often, miscarriages occur when a pregnancy is not developing normally. Some of the most common reasons for miscarriage include a chromosomal abnormality in the fetus, a blighted ovum, certain maternal health conditions and certain lifestyle or environmental factors.
More than 50 percent of first-trimester miscarriages are caused by a chromosomal problem in the fetus. Each person has 23 pairs of chromosomes, which are thread-like structures, in each cell.
If an embryo has the wrong number of chromosomes, the pregnancy usually results in an early miscarriage. A blighted ovum, when a pregnancy sac contains no fetus, is also often attributed to chromosomal abnormalities that either prevented the embryo from forming or halted embryo development.
Miscarriages are less likely for women who receive early, comprehensive prenatal care and avoid environmental hazards (such as X-rays, drugs and alcohol, high levels of caffeine, and infectious diseases).
Although certain maternal health conditions such as thyroid disease, infections, exposure to environmental toxins, certain hormonal problems, bloodclotting disorders and autoimmune disorders can increase the risk of miscarriage, treating these conditions before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk and/or prevent miscarriage. Women who smoke and/or use illicit drugs may increase their risk of miscarriage.
Vaginal bleeding, menstrual-like cramps or abdominal pain are signs that a miscarriage may occur. While many women experience spotting (light vaginal bleeding) in early pregnancy, most do not miscarry.

James does lighting for a living but he brings an even brighter light to his everyday life.
He's gone through life changing experiences and always seeks the wisdom inside those moments of hardship.
Many thanks for his willingness to step into the shrubbery for this portrait and for his grace always.
Not sure what it is that draws me to this place, but the pictures made here have a feel to them I find intriguing and compelling.
Maybe it's a feeling of emerging from a dark place to a lighter one.
Or, stepping out of entanglements, mental, emotional- patterns which trap us.
Maybe it's the mystery. That thing just beyond knowing.
Part of me really wants to know but the artist part says – don't know and that's cool. Just keep going.
Maybe you have that feeling too sometimes.
Lovely roses thanks to Michelle of Blumgarten in Pilsen. @blumgartenco @blumgarten
