The educational system in our society has more advancements. The black board class rooms are changed to smart class rooms. The proposed method is a portable mini projector which can be connected to any smartphones. This proposed system increases the portability of the smart class rooms. This is carried out by using Raspberry pi, where portability is the main aim which is achieved by providing more power battery backup and can be implemented as a future technology. The portability allows the user to carry the device anywhere and can use any time. The cost of the system is also affordable for all.

Treasury Department Extends April 15 Tax Payment Deadline
**To see an update as of March 25, 2020, please click here.**
Due to the COVID-19 emergency, the Treasury Department and IRS yesterday extended the April 15, 2020 tax payment deadline until July 15, 2020. This automatic extension applies to 2019 federal income tax payments and 2020 estimated federal income tax payments (including payments on self-employment taxes) that otherwise would have been due on April 15.
The extension does not affect the April 15 deadline for filing tax returns but instead allows taxpayers who owe a payment to the IRS to defer the payment until July 15 without interest or penalties. Taxpayers who file a tax return or request an extension of time to file by April 15, 2020, will automatically avoid interest and penalties on the taxes paid by July 15. Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or contact the IRS to qualify for this relief.
Many, but not all, payments are eligible for extension. Click here to continue reading

Reviews of Gorilla's Nest
Wildlife sightings and reviews
6 independent comments and wildlife information from our travellers who have visited Gorilla's Nest and kindly agreed to share their thoughts. They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa
"Good convenient base for Gorilla Trekking"
The weather during our stay was cold and wet. And yet, the bedrooms and public areas all seemed designed for keeping cool in tropical heat. Accordingly, when we went for meals, we wrapped up in jumpers and jackets - and kept them on throughout the meal! Our bedroom had a lovely view but faced away from the sun, and it was therefore even colder inside the room than outside. We had to get into bed to keep warm.
In common with many lodges, the lighting in the bedroom was very poor and we were unable to read without the aid of a torch. There was very little pressure in the shower/bath water meaning that the water just trickled out. And, unlike much of Africa, this region has no water shortage! Then the plumbing gave up altogether and we had no hot water on our last evening and on the morning of our departure.
The food here is very basic European stuff - sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, burgers and chips. It was OK but the menu never changes and you soon get bored with the choice. Nothing was offered of a more local or African variety. There is good local beer at a reasonable price. But the wine was outrageously priced with the cheapest bottle costing over £30.
After our morning gorilla and golden monkey treks, there wasn't a great choice of activity - we visited the local village and the market and we took a drive up to the nearby lakes - but the options were limited. When we visited the local market, we were accompanied by the lodge's community representative.
Whist in the market, I declined to take any photos as I knew how it could upset some local people. But the lodge's community guide said this was nonsense. To show me, he took my camera and started taking pictures. Suddenly, there was a terrible commotion as one of the market sellers took offence. We were followed by an angry local woman all the way back to the hotel and, at one point, were surrounded by a crowd that was attracted by all the commotion. He should really have known better!" See all these reviews: 5n in Rwanda; 1n in Kenya
"Mountain Gorillas Nest review"
Ok it is in a good location only being 10/15 minutes from the guide registration and start point. But it is pretty dated and lacked any sophistication and warmth, basic rooms and poor lighting and also as their is no heating they'd be pretty cold at some times of the year.
Poor meals and despite the very good and friendly services they could not salvage it. The only salvation was a reasonable bottle of red wine but at a price." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia; 4n in Rwanda; 1n in Kenya
"Mountain Gorillas Nest review"
The staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and do whatever they could to help. The food/service was excellent. The setting and views were great.
The only adverse comment I would make was that the rooms had no heating at all, and this was a disadvantage when cold and wet!" See all these reviews: 4n in Rwanda; 1n in Kenya
"Mountain Gorillas Nest review"
A particular problem for us was that they simply had no concept of vegetarianism. When beef was served and Kerstin said she didn't eat meat, she was offered pork instead! She had requested fish or vegetarian with the booking, and several times during our stay, but it just didn't register.
Again, this is not a complaint, for reasons already stated, but strict vegetarians should be aware." See all these reviews: 4n in Rwanda
"3 night safari at Gorillas Nest Lodge"
On the first day, through our driver, we asked for the guide Francois (who had worked with Dian Fossey). He was excellent! He was very informative about plants, animals, farming, and local customs. He was very energetic. We used the services of a porter to carry our daypack. This cost $10 per day.
Also, the trek included 2 armed guards provided by the Rwanda army to protect us and the gorillas. While we brought rain gear, our morning treks were sunny and clear. On the first gorilla outing, since there was so much underbrush, the guide let us stay another 10 minutes beyond the standard hour visit. The gorillas were fascinating. We were very close to the gorillas. We highly recommend the gorilla visits.
The golden monkeys were very fast when jumping from one bamboo tree to another. Photos were not easy to take. For the most part, we just leaned back, looked up and enjoyed the activity. We were glad we signed up to see the monkeys.
The lodge was very convenient to the park headquarters. The room at the lodge was very cold. During the days we opened the doors to try and get some warmth into the room. We asked for and recieved an extra blanket. The bathroom appeared to need a bit of repair and cleaning (mold removal, caulk and grout repair).
The grounds (flowered pathways) and setting (backgound of mountains, forests and terraced fields) were beautiful. The lodge had a golf course (which nobody seemed to be using) that added to the open view. Local dancers came in the evening and provided a 45 minute show for tips. The food was primarily buffet style, with a local flavor. Soups were very good. Main courses included fish, pork, beef and goat. Also, we had 2 excellent lunches at the hotel that our driver stayed at in town.
Rwanda is a very clean country. According to our driver there are periodic national clean-up days. It shows. There is no litter or piles of garbage!! It was a 2 hour drive form Kigali to the park on good roads. The children were very friendly. They sang and danced when they saw us drive by. However, some were begging for $, pens, bottles. This was discouraged by our driver.
Our driver, Arthur, was very friendly and informative. He was very helpful in helping us to understand the Rwanda genocide. We talked quite a bit about the future of Rwanda. We also talked about possible activities for tourists. It seemed that once we completed the monkey/gorilla outings, we had open time in the afternoons. We did go to the Virunga Lodge for the views and drinks. It seems like there could be some development to provide additional outdoor activity opportunities for the tourists.
We talked about renting kayaks, canoes, bamboo rafts on the lakes and rivers. We talked about escorted bike trips and village treks that could include local dancing, handicraft shops or local cafe at the destination points. We talked about walking tours of a local village by a village elder. None of these are available now. I think that Rich and I might have signed up for 1 or 2 of these if they had been available. It seems like most people that we talked to saw the gorillas and left. Perhaps, if there were additional activities, they may have extended their stay." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda; 3n in Zanzibar
"One bad day, one good day"
The following day we came back from tracking golden monkeys to an empty lodge, smiling staff and a totally relaxed atmosphere. We went for a very interesting walk with one of the hotel staff to visit the local community, meet people, chat to the children (the older ones being desperate to practise their English) and tour the market - a highlight of the holiday.
There was a lot of rain by the time of our stay here and it was not warm - so by way of warning (not complaint) - visitors need to be prepared for damp clothes you can't dry and getting cold, there is no heating in the rooms - but wonderful charcoal fires in the bar and dining room.
Regarding the Golden Monkey tracking: Do this before you visit the gorillas - you don't get as close, the photos won't be as good but the monkeys are well worth the visit and somehow the more different groups of primates you get to watch, the more you will get out of each group. We got to see vervet and baboons (in Akagera) chimps, colobus and mountain monkeys (in Nyungwe) and the golden monkeys before seeing the gorillas. It gives a perspective ...."

The University of Louisville has relieved Athletic Director Tom Jurich of his duties on Wednesday. Tom Jurich came to Louisville on October 21, 1997 and oversaw a transformation of athletics and facilities at the University.
Tom Jurich found his end at the University admist a FBI sealed complaint that was a Bombshell into the recruiting world of college basketball. Several assistant basksetball coaches, financial advisors and the global marketing director at adidas were arrested on Tuesday morning. And while University of Louisville coaches were not arrested they were directly implicated in the report.
Louisville's involvement was a pay-for-play scheme where adidas executives and Louisville coaches were caught on tape discussing payment for Louisville signee Brian Bowen.
Rick Pitino & Tom Jurich were able to survive a previous scandal involving Katina Powell & Andre McGee which put the program on probabtion. The FBI probe had Louisville assistant coaches say to adidas executives that any involvement in a pay-for-play scheme for Brian Bowen would have to be discrete due to the program being 'on probation'.
Louisville now has to replace its Basketball staff & its athletic director. Practice begins on Friday.

To guarantee safety, go back inside & count
to noon. To make honey by honest trees,
press for time. Either way, all numbers are hellhound
as well as holy, but what did you expect?
A little divine torture has always been
the way in, and waiting for daylight
robbery won't leave you deadly. Or, take my
word away and light up the teeth in the tumbler
all at once, like the locked door is a yawning
god and you the very last Alleluia—
at once, as if your heart shredded its school
-skirt and shotgunned over the yard for home.
Be need with a black glove riding the wrist.
Be first-felony Eve in the red telephone
booth outside the garden, a battle coal
dialing herself back into the war.
They kept you on the wrong side all along.
Hold a tension wrench closer. Treat your gates
like they were lovers and listen for the Yes.
And there it is, but look at what you found inside.
This poem appeared in Indiana Review 33.2, Winter 2011.
Lo Kwa Mei-en is a Kundiman fellow and the author of YEARLING (Alice James Books, 2015), THE BEES MAKE MONEY IN THE LION (Cleveland State University Poetry Center, 2016), and THE ROMANCES, a chapbook forthcoming from The Lettered Streets Press.

While the first week of November was a banner time for special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and the Republicans' proposal to cut taxes, an item that could affect the nation for decades flew under the radar.
Last week, Senate Republicans were able to confirm four of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees for lifetime positions on circuit courts, in addition to one more to a district court post as a part of the president's unprecedented judicial blitz.
Those who were confirmed included Michigan Supreme Court Judge Joan Larsen to serve on the US 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, conservative Notre Dame law professor Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, University of Pennsylvania law professor Stephanos Bibas to the US 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, Colorado Supreme Court Judge Allison Eid to the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, and attorney Trevor McFadden to serve on the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
Seizing an opportunity to move forward on reshaping the federal court system to a more conservative bend, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell worked to confirm the judges in rapid-fire succession, in a week that experts said was incredibly rare and drew the ire of Democrats who believe Republicans are being hypocritical in the confirmation process and not providing ample time to vet the candidates.

One A9
Stand out in a crowd with a brand new, super cool case for your Galaxy Alpha phone. Being ultra tough, our cases are not only made to last, but to ensure your phone remains damage-free, and in perfect condition. And if you're stuck for ideas, it would make a great gift for a friend or loved one.
Quality products is FoxyCase's unique selling point and we'll tell you exactly how our team ensures that each item is oozing with it.
You see, we've developed strategic links with amazing sellers around the country. These merchants carry the best stock and we've got the first pick. That leaves you with the top tier of an already high-quality batch. That's pretty cool, right?
In order to hand-select these One A9 cases, we have to first put each item through a series of test to make sure it's up to par. These are some questions we ask about each phone case to solidify its desirability:
- Is it designed in a way that enhances the user experience of the phone?
- Are the contours, lines, cuts, and patterns complementary to the shape of the device?
- Does it offer customers a good price-to-quality ratio?
- Is the case strong enough to protect a device from scratches, dings, and drops?
Make FoxyCase your go-to source for any type of case. Our lists are constantly updated with new content and quality is always guaranteed.

What We Do
Since 1967 Peacevillage International has been helping the most innocent victims of war and conflict worldwide – the children. The three main areas of our work are:
Individual Medical Aid for sick and injured children who cannot receive adequate treatment in their home countries, but who have a chance of being cured in Europe.
Aid Projects in regions of war and conflict to improve local medical services.
Peace Education to promote humanitarian awareness and social engagement.
The work of Peacevillage International is officially recognized as a charity and is financed almost exclusively by donations and membership fees. The donation seal of the DZI (Deutsches Zentralinstitut für Soziale Fragen – German Central Institute for Social Matters) confirms the responsible and effective deployment of donations.
Medical treatment taken for granted by people in Germany, is often an unaffordable luxury for those in areas of war and crisis. Wounds and illnesses cannot be treated properly, and people die from injuries and diseases that could be cured with medical treatment. The employees of the Peace Village have seen this time and time again since the founding.
It quickly became clear that children from areas of war and crisis must be brought to Germany for medical care. The idea of individual aid was born. This remains the essential purpose of the Peace Village. The young patients come mainly from Afghanistan , Angola , Central Asia and the Caucasus. From those war-torn regions and crisis areas we bring sick and injured children, who have no hope of receiving medical treatment, to Germany so that they can be cared for in European hospitals. Depending on the severity of injuries and sickness, the children are treated here for several months or in some cases for even years.
Once the medical treatment and the physiotherapy at Peacevillage International have been completed, all the children return to their homes and families. Within the financial framework of our individual medical aid work, approximately 1,000 children per year from all over the world are being helped. For many of those children it is the only chance of survival.
Providing aid to seriously ill and injured children in regions of war and crisis was and is the first work of the Peace Village. But projects on site at under-serviced regions have also been established. Clearly something had to be done to improve health facilities on a sustainable basis. And so for many years - in addition to individual aid - projects in children's home countries have been a second important pillar of the work of the Peace Village.
Support for aid projects is provided on site. Thanks to these projects, former patients of the Peace Village in Oberhausen, who have long returned home, stay in contact.
The primary goal of the projects is to provide better medical care to children and their families in their home countries. Peacevillage International builds Medical Base Stations, infirmaries, orthopedic workshops etc, provides financial and logistic support and then hands over the upkeep to local partner organizations. Relief supplies, medication and food are continually dispatched via container and truck to our partners from non-governmental organizations abroad – helping them to help themselves.
"We know that by bandaging the wounded, we have not stopped wars or established lasting peace in the world. We also know that world peace will not be achieved by itself. A new generation is needed, one that no longer think in the old spirit of enmity."
This quote from the founding document of our organization, remains the motivation behind the work of the Peace Village Educational Training Centre. To meet the demand for holistic education and peace policy work, it's not enough to focus solely on healing individual children directly affected by war.
The Educational Training Centre was therefore founded in 1986 with the statutory mandate to work on sustainable peace through education. The centrepiece of this work is the care of children and youth groups who visit the Peace Village. We offer seminars, exhibitions and events to provide an educational approach to peace by making political contexts transparent and by promoting social awareness.
Children and young people meet at our intercultural community centre to learn about the culture of the Peacevillage children and to work together actively in order to achieve a peaceful cultural co-existence – beyond their own front doors and in global context.

We're midway through December and fully enveloped in the Holiday Season. To celebrate, we're sharing another Disney Dish that comes straight from the Taste of Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. It's our copy-cat recipe for an item that instantly called out to us while examining the event's foodie guide. It's the Tostada de Chorizo from Las Podadas Holiday Kitchen at the Mexico Pavilion. After putting this little gem together, I can happily tell you it has all the flavors you'd expect and is a big hit in our household
Our Ingredients
Living in Southern California, like we do, makes finding most of the components for our Tostada de Chroizo from Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen fairly simple for us. Everything I needed I was able to find in our local grocery store. However, I do know that many of you might find some struggles tracking down a few of these ingredients. Let's discuss a couple of those.
While, this may be found in most stores, just note there are a couple of different kinds of this sausage that differ slightly based on their country of origin. You may find a Spanish version and/or a Mexican style. While there is an important spice difference between the two, the most important thing you'll need to know is their difference in texture. Mexican Chorizo is traditionally ground and fresh while the Spanish version is coarsely chopped and cured. This curing makes it into more of a hard sausage. While you can certainly use it for this recipe, the ground Mexican style is better suited for it.
Again, this may be something that you will be able to find in your local store. However, if can't find them fresh, you may be able to search out the canned version. While, this isn't the best way to go, they will certainly work for this dish. If you can't find either of those, Green Tomatoes could also be used as a substitute. Of course, you can also find a pre-made Salsa Verde and that will work fine, as well. (But what's the fun in that?)
The toughest thing for you to find, though, will probably be the Queso Cotija. That can be a little difficult to search out, even here. If you don't come across this cheese in your store, you can substitute with Feta Cheese or just eliminate it from the dish. While it does add an extra layer of salt and richness, it's not really a vital part of this finished recipe.
Finally, if you can find pre-made Cremá Mexicana, I would suggest buying and using it. However, this will probably be another item that may not be in your store. So, I'm going to show you how to make a version of it at home.
Okay, enough talk. Let's get cooking!
The Cremá Mexicana
So, if you haven't scrolled past this portion, you probably weren't able to track down the Cremá Mexicana at your store. Either that or you're just adventurous and want to make your own. I totally respect deciding to make your own, whatever the reason!
This is a component of our Tostada de Chorizo from Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen that you'll want to make ahead of everything else. While, it is a fairly simple recipe. It will also need to sit for awhile to allow the chemical process within it to work its "magic".
Begin by adding the Buttermilk, Sour Cream, Lime Juice and Salt to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Pour into and air-tight container (a mason jar is perfect for this) and let sit at room temperature for anywhere from 4 hours to overnight. This allows it to thicken. If you're concerned, you don't need to worry about it spoiling. The acid within the dish will keep it safe.
- Note: This recipe calls for Buttermilk. If you're like me, you dislike buying a large container of something you don't have a lot of uses for. So, I usually make my own version whenever I need some for a recipe like this. All you need to do is combine 1 cup of Milk and 1 tablespoon of White Wine Vinegar. Let sit for about 15 to 20 minutes and you have Home-made Buttermilk!
Once your Cremá Mexicana is done thickening, you can store it in an air-tight container in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
The Pickled Red Onions
Next, it's time for our Pickled Red Onions. As I mentioned when I previously created them for our Kalua-Style Pulled Pork Tots with Polynesian BBQ Sauce & Mango Salsa, this is a fantastic recipe that I use for most of my pickled vegetables. (It's also great for Pickling Jalapenos, if you have a few of them left over)
To begin, add the Rice Wine Vinegar, Low-Sodium Soy Sauce and Sugar to a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Stir to combine and bring just to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add the Sliced Red Onion. Give it a quick stir and let it rest. That's it! The liquid will pickle the Red Onions as it cools.
Once the Pickling Liquid and Red Onions cool completely, strain them from the liquid and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Place a layer of Parchment Paper on a large baking sheet and spread the prepared Salsa Ingredients evenly across it. Roast in the 400ºF oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until the Tomatillos have all "burst", like in the picture below.
Once the Tomatillos, Onions and Jalapeños have finished roasting, add them, and any of the liquid that may remain in the pan, into a blender while still warm.
Add the Fresh Cilantro, Cumin and Salt then cover the blender with a towel and pureé until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as necessary, with more Salt and/or Cumin.
Reserve until ready to use or store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
The Tostadas
The base of our Tostada de Chorizo from Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen can be made in a couple of different ways. You can place them in a pan with oil and deep fry them. However, I like to try a slightly healthier option. So, to make my Tostadas, I preheat the oven to 400ºF. I then lightly brush the Corn Tortillas with a little oil and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They, then, go in the oven to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes at 400ºF. Once they're toasted and crispy, remove them and reserve until ready to use.
The Black Bean Pureé
Following the theme of this Tostada de Chorizo recipe, this is another component that I make regularly. It's a wonderful and healthy replacement for traditional Refried Beans. It's also very easy.
- If you'd like to adapt this recipe to a more traditional but still healthier version of "Refried Beans" then just replace the Black Beans with Pinto Beans and follow the same process.
Start by placing a medium-sized pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Add a little Vegetable Oil and the Diced Onions. Saute while stirring occasionally until just translucent; about 2 to 3 minutes. Now, add the Minced Garlic, give it a quick stir and saute for an additional minute. Time, for the Black Beans to join the party! Place them in the pot, stir to combine and add the Chicken or Vegetable Stock. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
Once the Black Beans are done simmering, strain them and reserve the liquid. If you happen to have a stick blender, return the Beans to the pot. If you don't, place them in a traditional blender or food processor. Add the Cumin, Salt and Pepper and about ¼ cup of the reserved Simmering Liquid. Pureé until smooth, adding more of the liquid, if necessary, to help it reach the consistency you desire.
Taste and adjust the seasonings, as necessary, with more Salt, Pepper and/or Cumin. Keep warm until ready to serve.
The Chorizo
Finally, you've made it to the easiest part of our Tostada de Chorizo from Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen. That's the Chorizo, itself!
Place a pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Remove the Chorizo's casing, if necessary, and crumble it into the pan. Cook the Sausage for 5 to 7 minutes, while stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove on to a plate lined with Paper Towels then serve immediately.
Assembling our Tostada de Chorizo from Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen
Time to put this whole, yummy, thing together! Begin by spreading a heaping, spoonful of the Black Bean Puree evenly over the top of each Tostada and place them on your desired serving dish. Next, add your desired amount to the Chorizo to the center of each serving. Now, spoon the Salsa Verde on top of the Black Bean Puree, so it encircles the Sausage. Drizzle with the Cremá Mexicana and crumble some of the Queso Cotija over the top. Finish with a topping of the Pickled Red Onions and a little Fresh Cilantro and serve immediately.
Our Conclusion
What can we say about this Disney Dish other than that it's fantastic? It can be eaten with a knife & fork or simply picked up with your hands to enjoy. You also get so many wonderful flavor profiles from it. It's spicy, rich, sweet, salty and slightly sour all at the same time.
The Tostada serves as a wonderful vessel for all of the different components while also adding a needed, crispy, texture. The Black Bean Pureé is rich and brings a nice pop of salt complementing the sweet & sour balancing game that's at play with the Salsa Verde. Meanwhile, the Chorizo brings a pop of spice and meatiness that's cooled slightly by the Cremá Mexicana. Finally, you get a burst of acidic, sweetness from the Pickled Red Onions that completes the entire dish.
Definitely make this dish this weekend! We think you'll agree, each bite is a fiesta in your mouth!
- Serving Suggestion: While the Tostada is an amazing serving option for all of these components, this recipe would definitely work using other vessels, as well. Give them a try atop of a plate of Nachos, or French Fries. Maybe, even Tater Tots! Seriously, this combination of flavors is so good, they deserve to be used in a number of different ways!

Weekend DIY - Mod Podge Mirror Frame Tortoise Shell Pattern
Mirror with flat wood frame (I used an old mirror who's color didn't work for me anymore)
Scrapbook paper (enough to cover entire frame don't forget sides)
or Patterned design of your choice printed on regular paper
Mod Podge - optional Glossy Finish
Paint brush - optional flat
Painters tape
Step 1: Clean mirror (newspaper and Windex is best) and wipe off frame.
Step 2: Flip mirror over if possible remove actual mirror and only frame will remain. If this is not an option use painters tape to tape off mirror so glue does not damage mirror.
Step 3: Cut one strip of patterned paper a workable length about 4 - 5" length increments is good. However smaller increments work best at the areas which your frame is curved or if it has a more intrigue shape. I recommend cutting the stripes as you go so you can cut along the patterns to overlap the pattern for a more uniform overall look.
Step 4: Use your paint brush to apply Mod Podge directly to mirror frame the length of your cut patterned paper. Next using the same paint brush apply the Mod Podge to the back side of your paper and gently lay the paper on the mirror frame where you applied the Mod Podge. It's important to keep the sizing around 4 - 5" lengths or shorter as mentioned above; because the paper begins to become fragile and you need to ensure you are laying the paper flat as you continue around the mirror.
Step 5: Continue this process all the way around the mirror, remember to keep overlapping the pattern slightly and cutting along your pattern to give a more seamless uniform look. When complete set the mirror aside to dry completely about 15 minutes is ideal.
Step 6: Once the frame has dried you can now use your paint brush to apply Mod Podge on top of the entire decoupaged frame. The Mod Podge will be white again but it dries completely clear so don't worry about the color. I choose the Gloss finish listed above but their are a number of different options you can choose which works best for the style you are going towards.
Step 7: Again set the frame aside to dry preferably overnight.
Step 8: Remove the painters tape or reinstall the mirror to the frame and your done! Enjoy your 'new' custom mirror frame!
I would love to see how your projects come out feel free to send me pictures!

A 2mm build up of lime scale causes a 20% inefficiency in your heating system so, an average heating bill of €1500 per year could save up to €300 by installing a water softener.
- The copper cylinder scales up making it work harder and it becomes less efficient.
- Shower head scales up, sending water in all directions and then reduces flow to a trickle.
- Shower door & drainer becomes covered in lime mineral deposits.
- Lime scale deposits forms on taps & sanitary ware.
- Scum is left on surfaces after water is drained away. This quickly forms a scum around the edge of the bath and sink.
- You use twice as much soap, shampoo and washing powders, etc.
- Descalers are needed to reduce lime scale on appliances

Domestic airfares climbed up to 30%; limit covered at 80% till March-end
NEW DELHI: Flying inside the nation will cost up to 30% more from now. The public authority has expanded the base and greatest tolls set for various courses, while broadening its previous choice of permitting aircraft to convey up to 80% of their pre-Covid homegrown limit till March 31, 2021. While the least charge has been expanded by 10%, most extreme tolls are up by 30%.
The airfare range for flying between Delhi and Mumbai, for example, will presently be Rs 3,900-13,000, rather than Rs 3,500-10,000 prior. These are economy single direction passages that do exclude client improvement expense of air terminals, traveler security charges (Rs 150 for homegrown), and GST.
The flying service had last May ordered homegrown trips into seven classifications dependent on flying time — beginning at trips under 40 minutes and going up to those with the flying season of 3-3.5 hours — while permitting planned administrations to continue somewhat following a two-month suspension. Carriers are as of now needed to sell at any rate 20% seats at passages underneath the mid purpose of the base and greatest charges
The airfare band has been reexamined upwards now as the cost of stream fuel has risen altogether since last May when the tolls were set. The new charge groups, which the public authority has shown are probably going to stay in power till homegrown flights get back to pre-Covid level this late spring, are:
1) Flights with a term of up to 40 minutes: Old value band was Rs 2,000-6,000. The new airfare range is Rs 2,200-7,800. Incorporates areas like Delhi-Chandigarh. Goa-Mumbai. Mangalore-Bangalore. Srinagar-Jammu.
2) Flights with a term of 40 to an hour: Old value band was Rs 2,500-7,500. The new airfare range is Rs 2,800-9,800. Incorporates areas like Ahmedabad-Bhopal. Leh-Delhi. Hyderabad-Mumbai. Delhi-Srinagar.
3) Flights with a span of 60 to an hour and a half: Old value band was Rs 3,000-9,000. The new airfare range is Rs 3,300-11,700. Incorporates areas like Bangalore-Mumbai. Kolkata-Lucknow. Patna-Delhi. Chennai-Kolkata.
4) Flights with a length of 90 to 120 minutes: Old value band was Rs 3,500-10,000. The new airfare range is Rs 3,900-13,000. Incorporates areas like Delhi-Mumbai. Chennai-Mumbai. Port Blair-Chennai. Jaipur-Varanasi.
5) Flights with a length of 120 to150 minutes: Old value band was Rs 4,500-13,000. The new airfare range is Rs 5,000-16,900. Incorporates areas like Delhi-Bangalore. Guwahati-Delhi. Jaipur-Bangalore. Goa-Delhi.
6) Flights with a length of 150 to 180 minutes: Old value band was Rs 5,500-15,700. The new airfare range is Rs 6,100-20,400. Incorporates areas like Delhi-Kochi. Mumbai-Guwahati. Mumbai-Srinagar. Chennai-Guwahati.
7) Flights with a length of 180 to 210 minutes: Old value band was Rs 6,500-18,600. The new airfare range is Rs 7,200-24,200. Incorporates areas like Coimbatore-Delhi. Delhi-Thiruvananthapuram. Delhi-Port Blair
In the interim, aeronautics specialists had looked for proposals from carriers on stretching out the permitted ability to past 80% and it is discovered that IndiGo, Vistara, and Air India were the individuals who upheld doing as such while others like SpiceJet supported a more slow opening up.
Planned homegrown flights were suspended on March 25, 2020, and were permitted to continue at 33% of pre-Covid level from May 25. From that point forward the public authority has been stepping by step expanding an expanded ability to guarantee that carriers and air terminals can follow all Covid convention of social removing and upgraded cleanliness. On December 3, 2020, it had permitted carriers to work up to 80% of their pre-Covid homegrown flights, up from 70% around then.
Lately, avionics specialists looked for carriers' perspectives on upgrading this further.
Flying pastor H S Puri had said in Parliament Wednesday: "We are currently gone up against with a fascinating circumstance. From one perspective, some of the transporters need us to open full limit, 100%, though others might want to go sluggish." He had added that the choice to permit past 80% limit will rely upon the conduct of the infection and "our sense" of solace that all the necessary Covid convention is being followed.
Additionally, the homegrown airfare band, that fixes the base and most extreme passages that can be charged for various courses, are probably going to go when the late spring plan kicks in from April. Puri had said in Parliament Wednesday that covering airfares was an "uncommon measure" which might be discarded once homegrown flights each pre-Covid level.
"It isn't our goal… It additionally can't be in an open, liberated market circumstance to have charge groups (as) a lasting element. Thus, it is our assumption that when flights open up to pre-Covid levels in this late spring plan, we would not have the requirement at a cost band," he had said.
While the winter plan is from the last Sunday of October to the last Saturday of March, the summer plan is from the last Sunday of March to the last Saturday of October.

Fears over Greece and Chinese loans drag Asian markets down
Hong Kong (AsiaNews) - Asian markets have been hit by losses,
spurred on by fears over the fate of
Greece and the euro zone. At
midday the stock market index
in Hong Kong fell by 2.7%, reaching the
lowest point in the last four
months. Tokyo is also negative
(-0.8%); Shanghai
-0.4; Seoul - 1.3%.
Analysts point the finger to Greece, where yesterday political leaders have failed to form a new government, giving way for new elections in June. The fear is that the next election will be won by a government opposed to the drastic austerity measures imposed on the country, affecting aid for the rehabilitation of the sovereign debt. Without this aid Greece would be forced to declare bankruptcy and leave the euro zone.
Yesterday, news of the failure to form a government in Athens unleashed a wave of negativity on all European markets and Wall Street.
The negative results are also due to the news coming from China, yesterday the official media reported that the four domestic banks registered no increase in lending in the last two weeks, raising fears of a sharp slowdown in the Chinese economy.
Some banks among the strongest in China, such as China Construction Bank lost 2.2% in Hong Kong and 1.3 in Shanghai, the China Citic Bank was down 6% in Hong Kong and PetroChina lost for 3.2 and 0.7 in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Even gambling is in crisis, Galaxy Entertainment has lost 3.6% and Wynn Macau, 4.8.

Rupert Murdoch may have shut down his 168-year-old London tabloid, the News of the World, over the weekend, but the scandal that had consumed the newspaper continued to burn in other parts of his media empire. Most significantly it appears to have doomed Murdoch's bid to acquire the 61 percent of satellite broadcaster BSkyB that he doesn't already own. Addressing Murdoch via a BBC interview show earlier today (Monday), Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said, "Do the decent thing, and reconsider, think again about your bid for BSkyB." If Murdoch doesn't voluntarily withdraw his bid, it seemed clear that he will be blocked by British regulators or perhaps even by a vote of Parliament. In a BBC interview, Labor leader Ed Miliband said, "I say this to the prime minister candidly. Over the next 72 hours I hope he changes his position on this because I don't want to force this to a vote of the House of Commons." In an interview with Reuters, Alex DeGroote, an analyst with the U.K. stock brokerage/investment bank Panmure Gordon said, "We believe the deal is all but dead." On the other hand, BTIG media analyst Richard Greenfield wrote, "We continue to believe News Corp will ultimately end up acquiring 100 percent of BSkyB; however, we could envision the transaction taking another year or more to occur." On Sunday Murdoch flew to London to assess the damage that the scandal has inflicted on his media empire and to contain it. Earlier in the day, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported that longtime Murdoch adviser Les Hinton will likely be questioned about whether he saw a 2007 internal company memo indicating that phone hacking by News of the World reporters was more extensive than the company had admitted. Hinton, who at the time headed News International, the umbrella group for Murdoch's U.K. newspapers, has continued to hold to the party line that the hacking had been limited to one "rogue reporter" working with a private detective. The London Independent quoted a source as saying that the internal report amounts to a "ticking time bomb" that supports the charge that there was a deliberate cover-up by executives of News International of the hacking activity. Meanwhile, Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police John Yates, took a 180-degree turn over the weekend, admitting that he felt "massive regret" over not opening Scotland Yard's inquiry into the phone hacking after police received evidence that it was more widespread than initially believed. He told the London Sunday Telegraph that his decision not to reopen the probe had been "a pretty crap one." Scotland Yard has been accused of "looking the other way" when confronted with the hacking charges in order to court favor with News of the World reporters, who sometimes provided leads for its investigators (and payments, too, if some allegations are to be believed). "My byword has always been you look after the victims and the job will always resolve itself. I always put the victim first but here I didn't follow my principle and that is my greatest regret," he said.

Meringue is a special and fascinating dessert made from whipped egg whites or aquafaba (liquid from chickpea brine) and sugar. The key to the formation of a good meringue is the formation of stiff peaks by denaturing the protein ovalbumin (white egg protein) via mechanical whipping. These meringues were made by Adonia and filled with local Tinos cheese.

Fast food fans were stung when chains were forced to shut due to lockdown, with queues around the block to stock up on freezer essentials before doors closed (yes, really). Luckily for some, the Chilean branch of Burger King heard the pleas of desperate burger fans and has come to the rescue with a clever, albeit totally bizarre, marketing campaign.
'Burger Exchange' means a free Whopper could be sitting right in front of you as you browse the internet, and all you need is a teeny bit of UI design knowledge. The video below explains all, in an attention-grabbing, retro-style piece of marketing that must have been created using some top-level video-editing software.
"Do you want to stop seeing burgers everywhere and really win Whoppers?", asks Burger King on its Chilean Instagram feed. "Check out this promo and find out how to do it here. Participate and win as a king! #BurgerExchange 😎".
Burger King asks users to notice the 'hamburger button' that features all over the web, playing on the mirage-inducing intensity of craving your favourite food. That button is potentially the only kind of hamburger you've seen since lockdown began, the campaign suggests, and BK Chile wants to help.
Once users have spotted the hamburger button, they simply send a screenshot to BK. The royal burger chain will then deliver them a real-life Whopper in a burger exchange so attainable, we wish we lived in Chile.
Wolf BCPP created the campaign, which cleverly plays on on the communal feeling of missing out during lockdown. It's super simple for everyone to get involved (the best kind of offer), and we're also fans of the loud, zine-style video, which jolts us of our lockdown slump with its neon graphics and fast pace.
Burger King is on a roll at the moment with its offbeat approach to advertising. Check out the weird and wonderful farting cow ad, another recent hit from BK that we can't get enough of.

Sinister mesmerist Dr. Caligari (Krauss) travels the German countryside as a carnival showman whose main attraction is a sleep walker named Cesare (Veidt). After a series of murders occurs in a small town, Francis (Feher), bosom friend of one of the victims, suspects Caligari may be ordering his somnambulist to commit the crimes, perhaps out of jealousy over ravishing Jane (Dagover). He then begins to hound the manipulative hypnotist, but is he putting himself in serious danger?
One of the finest achievements of the silent era and in some ways an allegory of Weimar Germany's decadent demise, Wiene's "Caligari" is an eerie, heavily stylized horror film that refuses to get old. With its distorted angles, chiaroscuro lighting, and jarring German expressionist sets, the film is a striking precursor not only to Lang's "Metropolis," but to the atmospheric look and feel of 1940s American noir. Also, its tale of a crazed doctor and his zombie-like proxy introduced a basic template for many later horror features. Still creepy and lurid after nearly a century, "Caligari" will cast its spell on you.

I was physically and emotionally disturbed when I waited for her call but didn't see her brake light, and then decided to call her while she refused to pick it up.
When it was around 8:55pm that very day, my phone started ringing and quickly looked at the screen to check if it was her, but it was an unknown number.
I picked it up without hesitation…
"hello, is this Afeez please?"
"yes, I am Afeez. Who's this please?" I replied in an effort to recognize the voice, when he spoke out again.
"It's me Demola, your paddy", he muttered.
"oh oh, ,Demmy how far now?" I asked, even when I was surprised that why is he calling me at the late hours of the day and not using his number.
"Where are you?" he curiously asked.
"I'm at home right now. Any gist?" I inquired.
"You know what? You will have to vacate your house immediately in order to avoid being arrested!" he exclaimed rushing to hang up, but I quickly ask him to hold on…
"wait wait, what's the problem, what happened?" interrupting him just before he hung up.
"Based on what I heard, Zainab was found almost lifeless in her room bleeding heavily. It was discovered that she aborted and she has been brought to my father's clinic. And it seemed her father has ordered for your arrest", he explained and hung up.
His last word hit me hard which got me shocked and almost collapsed at what he just disclosed.
My mood was destabilized and I didn't know the next line of action to seek redress.
I stood at akimbo and I didn't know when I started crying. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door which got me shocked and sent a cold down my spine. I started panting and quickly hide at the back of the door. I heard the knock again and a voice followed…
"Afeez, kilode? Silekun jare", it was grandma which means "Afeez, what happened? Open the door".
Then, I became calm and quickly wiped the tears and pretended as if nothing has happened. I opened the door for her and she sat on my bed asking me what the problem was. She was too precious to me and it was hard for me to hide anything from her, so I explained everything to her.
She was highly disappointed in me and wept for my mistake. She asked me to pack immediately that very night and find somewhere to hide so as not to get arrested.
When I was ready to flee, her eyes was saturated with tears and she hugged me so tight and then dissolved into tears. I was touched and I started weeping too. I felt like staying with her, but she released me and prayed for me.
I later summoned courage like a gallant soldier and left the house without heading to any particular destination.
I called Demola's number but it was not available and I decided to go directly to his house since it was dark and fortunately for me, I met him at home.
He asked me on how it happened which I explained to him and he counseled me to leave town as early as possible because Zainab's dad was very wicked and he could do anything to get me eliminated due to what has happened to his one and only child.
On hearing that, my heart started pounding heavily and had a restless night due to the challenges ahead of me.
Very early the following day at about 5:05am, I left town for Ibadan.
When I got to Ibadan, I looked for my sister who was also struggling for survival and got her informed about the situation on ground. She seemed carefree and less concerned about me.
Then, that was when I decided to put a call to grandma…
She picked up the call but it was a man's voice. I dropped the call so as to confirm if I have dialed the right number, and yes I was correct. Then, I re-dialed it and it was that same voice.
"Hello, who am I on to?" I asked with a great concern.
"This is sergeant Sunday from Apa police station, division 2, speaking on behalf of Iya Afeez", he answered.
I was shocked to hear that grandma has been arrested just because of the issue.
"But what has she done to deserve that? How dare you arrest an elderly innocent woman?" I questioned aggressively.
"Hear this fool! You had better show up before it is too late for you" he said in concise way.
I was short of words and then hung up the call.
"You have landed Maami into trouble through your stupid act abi" my sister said while I looked at her with horror eyes.
She took her phone and called grandma's number again and pleaded to the sergeant to let her speak with her and which he allowed.
She (grandma) told my sister not to let me show up, that she is ready to bear whatever comes out of it. My sister was not satisfied with her decision and hung up the call angrily.
After three days, my sister decided to go home in order to check on her (grandma) and she came back to Ibadan with sad news which landed me in the hospital.
"When I got home, I went straight to Zainab's dad and pleaded to him to set Maami free and which he did by giving me a letter to the police station, but when I got there, I learnt that she has been mistakenly taken for a woman who killed her husband just because he didn't take her out for valentine. And an attempt was made to correct the mistake, but she had been hanged to death before the correction could be made" she explained and busted into tears.
When I heard that, I slumped and fainted.
I woke up after some hours and still can't believe grandma has gone to the land of no return. I cried bitterly not because of anything, but because I was responsible for her death.
"Yah Allah, forgive me for not letting her reap the fruits of her labour and being responsible for her death by hanging", I prayed and asked for forgiveness.
It took me some days before I could recover.
Aftermath, I decided to put a call to Zainab, but her lines were switched off and likewise childhood friend's (Demola) number. The life became misery because I didn't know if she survived it or not, but I later motivated myself and learned to move on.
I started another way of life and lost my phone in the process, I got another line neglecting the former one. I applied for direct entry into a federal university and which I was admitted.
After a year, my sister got married and relocated to Osogbo while I was still schooling in Ibadan. I later joined her in Osogbo where she secured me a placement for my Industrial training (IT).
That was how I lost Zainab's contact and met Taiwo, the banker.
It was a cool Sunday morning. I got a message from Taiwo and when I read through, it happened to be the address she promised to send and that reminds me that I have an appointment with her by 12:00 noon that very day.
I quickly engaged myself in some domestic works at home and later dressed up in line with the preparation for her house.
I appeared in my favourite colours which were white and black, a well ironed white T-shirt and a black pair of trousers with black shining shoe. I checked my dressing in a standing mirror and it was classic.
"Yeah, Afeesco, you are good to go", I said to myself, and then informed my sister I am going out.
"Hmmm! This look is charming o. I'm very sure you are visiting your girl today. Wait, wait, let me give you a nice shot", she said and quickly brought out her Smartphone and snapped me. I looked at the picture and, I was attracted by the picture. I left the house and trekked a bit before I could get a bike. I described where I was going for the Okada man and he claimed he knows the place and we agreed on a particular amount.
I checked at my golden wrist watch and it was almost noon, then, my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen and it was Taiwo, then I picked it up…
"Hello dear, are you not coming again?" she asked.
"Am on my way", I replied.
"Really?" she asked anxiously.
"Yes nah. You suppose to have been hearing the sound of the bike nah", I replied.
"Yeah! yeah! Thenks dear. Expecting you o" she said happily.
"Alright, I will soon be with you", I said.
"I can't wait o", she replied.
"Ok o o o", I said and allowed her to drop the call.
"Here I come" I said to myself, standing opposite a yellow bungalow house doing nothing but contemplating whether to go in or not because I was expecting her to wait for me outside. I stared at the window hoping to catch a glimpse of the one I was seeking but saw nothing.
Although my instinct urged me to turn back when I thought about the memory I spent with Zainab but eventually my heart couldn't just allow me. The door bell rang melodiously when it felt my touch. I waited for a reply but I didn't hear one until the second time when a feminine voice spoke from the inside.
A few minutes later, when the door was opened, I was stunned by the sight I behold, the figure standing before me was that light skinned damsel with an extravagance attire. Her charming smile was so sumptuous like that of Zainab which took me to her memory lane.
The surprise on her face was enormous when she saw me; we stood staring at each other for seconds before I broke the silence. 'Hello Taiwo, it's nice seeing you' I greeted.
'Oh Abdulafeez, is this the real you? You are seriously looking good. Oh my goodness!" she shot arrows of flattering words before I was ushered in.
"How are you doing?" I asked looking into her pale face.
She ignored my question and went inside. She came back moments later with two cups containing a bluish liquid and offered one to me which I rejected. She looked at me weirdly and rolled her eyes…
"Are you feeling shy or what? Don't tell me you are not taking anything o", she said.
"Don't mind me jawe. I'm just ok for now but promise you I will take something before I take my leave", I replied.
I wondered if what I said was special when she stood up happy, sat at the edge of the chair where I was sitting and offered me a nice peck on my cheek.
The peck sent a cold sensations down my spine and my heart melted. I wanted to turn to her just to look at her face when my eyes noticed that her skirt ridden up to her mid-thigh! She was presenting me an up skirt while looking at her pale thigh,
"This lady is beautiful, I had to say and she has a body to kill. The camisole top she had over her upper half was crimson red and dropped rather low, giving me the deepest cleavage I had ever seen" I thought in my mind and I had to quickly pull away my eyes and control myself. I finally looked at her face while she smiled and winked at me. Though, I was in love before, but didn't know what came over me that particular moment. I frowned at her and changed my seat.
She was shocked and confused. She joined me on my new seat..
"What's wrong? What have I done wrong? Or was it because of my attitude? I reacted that way just because am in love with you and seriously in need of you. I was expecting you to reciprocate the feelings. I'm not an unserious type and I am ready to settle down with you and deliver all my kids to you. I have been praying and waiting to see a man like you and I believed my prayer has been answered, so please and please, don't turn me down", she confessed out of worried, written all over her face while she was on her knees holding my hands.
In fact, the way she reacted enabled me to know how effective the power of love is. I looked into her eyes and I saw a gentle love like dove.
Love is as powerful as death; it drives people crazy while some have even lost their lives because of it.
I was convinced with her actions and words which forced me to open up to her about my past relationship with Zainab.
"Each time I remember grandma's death, I become sad and felt like not engaging in any relationship again", I added.
She tried to convince me further to forget about my past and try to move on.
In fact, she was really endowed because her words were so inspired.
She looked at me out of sympathy for some minutes and before I know it, her lips came crushing against mine. Our tongues fought the war of supremacy as we twisted, entwined and entangled it in action. I knew where it was heading to but I couldn't stop myself. I wanted the sex because its being long I have had it and I was no more a novice in the act. I lifted her feet as our lips was still enlaced in action, carrying her as we both found our way to unknown destination, dropping one piece of clothing here and there. We were almost unclad when we got to her bed.
My hands reached for her two bare bosoms, as I gently caressed them, sending shock waves down her spine, making her moan softly.
I was not a professional in the act, neither was I a virgin.
She carefully zipped down my trousers, making me completely unclad and took my joystick into her hands…

The injury that forced Josh Beckett from Monday's game against the Blue Jays has been diagnosed as a sprained right ankle according to the team.
The outcome isn't positive, but it's far from the worst case scenario. Beckett didn't look too bad when he left the game, walking off the field under his own power, leaving the impression that it's not too serious of a sprain. Either way, it's not the sort of structural issue that could cost Beckett his playoff run, and that's largely all that matters.
As it was, Terry Francona had already been looking to get Beckett some extra rest between starts. A missed game or two between now and the end of the season should do more than enough in that department. With Kyle Weiland already set to take Erik Bedard's next start, it seems like Tim Wakefield or Andrew Miller could effectively fill his starts for a week or two.
Alfredo Aceves has come into the game in relief of Beckett and recorded 5 strong outs since, including three strikeouts in the fifth inning.

In celebration of International Women's Day (March 8) and Women's History Month, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced the winners of the 2018 "WomenHuntFishNY" statewide photo contest.
"In DEC's first-ever statewide photo contest to celebrate women who hunt and fish in New York, we received an overwhelmingly positive response from women across the state. New York's sportswomen were eager to share their photos and stories from their outdoor adventures," said Commissioner Seggos. "We thank everyone who participated in the contest for their amazing submissions and appreciate their support for DEC's ongoing efforts to encourage more New Yorkers to get outside and enjoy hunting and outdoor recreation."
After the contest was announced late last year, DEC received more than 2,000 photo entries, accompanied by hundreds of inspiring stories. The winning hunting images were divided into six categories:
- Before the Hunt, Genesee County: Renata Canaday (photographer), Carey Killion (subject)
- Big Game Hunting, Moose River Plains, Adirondacks: Rebecca Meigel
- Small Game Hunting, Monroe County: Susan Janowski
- After the Hunt, Western NY: Nichole Boxler
- Group, Broome County: Michelle Sanford and Cathy Sanford
- Youth, Wyoming County: Deanna Nikiel (photographer), Alexis Nikiel, Aleah Brauen (subjects)
Winning entries will be featured in this year's New York State Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide and future issues of the Conservationist magazine, in social media posts, on the DEC website, and other outreach efforts. While this fall's contest focused on women hunters, DEC also received hundreds of fishing photos that will automatically be entered in a fishing photo contest that will be announced later this spring.

2 firms fined S$43,000 in total over personal data breaches affecting Mindef, SAF personnel
SINGAPORE — The HMI Institute of Health Sciences and ST Logistics have been fined S$35,000 and S$8,000 respectively, after two separate malware incidents in 2019 led to the breach of personal data of thousands of personnel from the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
- The two firms were third-party vendors, the HMI Institute of Health Sciences and ST Logistics
- The affected data included names, NRIC numbers, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers
- One incident affected 2,400 Mindef and SAF personnel, while the other affected 98,000 SAF servicemen
SINGAPORE — The HMI Institute of Health Sciences and ST Logistics have been fined S$35,000 and S$8,000 respectively, after two separate malware incidents in 2019 led to the breach of personal data of thousands of personnel from the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
Both firms were third-party vendors. The affected data included names, National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) numbers, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers.
There is no evidence that any of the data was ultimately leaked.
The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), which levied the fines, released its written decisions on Thursday (June 10).
Organisations that violate the Personal Data Protection Act can currently face a financial penalty of up to S$1 million.
Under amendments to the Act that were passed in Parliament in November last year, the maximum amount that a company can be fined for a data breach was increased to either 10 per cent of its annual turnover in Singapore or S$1 million, whichever is higher.
This will take effect no earlier than Feb 1 next year, according to the PDPC's advisory guidelines on enforcement of data protection provisions.
HMI Institute had discovered a file server to be encrypted by ransomware on Dec 4, 2019.
The institute was contracted by the SAF to conduct cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator training for Mindef and SAF personnel.
HMI Institute hired a cybersecurity company to investigate the incident, which found no evidence that the data was extracted from the server.
The ransomware encrypted and denied access to various files, including those that contained the personal data of about 110,080 people who participated in HMI Institute's training courses and 253 employees.
Among the affected individuals were 98,000 SAF servicemen who attended the courses. They had only their names and NRIC numbers stored on the server.
HMI Institute owned the server but it was maintained by its appointed IT solution service provider.
The PDPC said in its judgement that HMI Institute's failure to implement reasonable security measures put the personal data at risk for more than four years — from the time the server was set up in 2014 till it was disconnected from the internet after the incident.
It had also failed to implement proper password management policies.
Nevertheless, the PDPC noted as mitigating factors that HMI Institute took prompt remedial actions.
This included decommissioning the server without paying the ransom, notifying all the affected individuals it could — about 95 per cent — and implementing steps to prevent the incident from happening again.
In ST Logistics' case, some of its employees fell for a phishing attack involving malicious malware sent to their email accounts in October 2019.
This led to the breach of personal data of 2,400 Mindef and SAF personnel, all of whom were notified by Mindef through text messages by late December 2019.
ST Logistics was contracted to provide logistics services such as eMart retail and equipping services for Mindef and SAF personnel.
ST Logistics raised some factors in arguing for a reduced financial penalty, such as a low risk of harm arising from the incident as the data was limited to email addresses, and no evidence that any of the data was leaked.
The PDPC said that in deciding to reduce the fine, it had "carefully considered the representations" and taken into account ST Logistics' co-operation and prompt responses to the commission's queries.
The PDPC did not state in its judgement what the original financial penalty would have been.
Its investigations revealed that ST Logistics had failed to conduct periodic security reviews to detect vulnerabilities in its IT systems.
This meant that the anti-virus software installed on employees' laptops, which could have blocked and removed the malicious malware, was not updated. The laptops had not been properly configured to receive updates.
Some of the affected employees also did not have an advanced endpoint protection solution software, which detects newly released forms of malware, installed on their laptops.
Last year, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore reported 47,500 cases of phishing in Singapore in 2019, almost triple the number of cases in 2018.
