Liverpool Football Club tried their luck at prizing Southampton right-back Nathaniel Clyne to Anfield by tabling an official bid of £10m this week but, rather unsurprisingly, the Saints were uninterested in accepting the offer.
Read the latest Liverpool transfer gossip!
Nathaniel Clyne: Liverpool have £10m bid to sign Manchester United target rejected
Liverpool transfer target Christian Benteke has £32.5m release clause
It was confirmed by BBC Sport that Liverpool had their opening offer instantly rejected by the Saints, as the club search for a replacement to Glen Johnson.
According to the report, the Merseyside club will return with an improved offer for the England international – whose contract expires next summer.
BBC Sport claim that Manchester City's James Milner and Burnley's Danny Ings, along with Clyne, are at the top of Brendan Rodgers' transfer wish-list ahead of the summer window. Though little progress looks to have been made over the signing of the trio, other than the embarrassment of having their initial offer for the latter publicly rejected.
Many Twitter users believe that the offer of £10m is an insult to a player of Clyne's quality, and have questioned whether Anfield would be a good move for his development.
Have a read of the best tweets, as Liverpool return to Southampton for transfer business…
On the basis someone at Liverpool thought Dejan Lovren was worth £20m suspect Southampton's asking price for Nathaniel Clyne might be £75m.
— Phil McNulty (@philmcnulty) May 29, 2015
Liverpool paid £18m for Johnson and £20m for Lovren but only value Clyne at £10m?? — Dylan Dibben (@DylanDibben) May 29, 2015
Clyne would be better off staying at Saints with Koeman and developing under him than going to Liverpool under Rodgers.
— Ryan (@Rocketic) May 29, 2015
Why would Clyne want to go to Liverpool anyway? Right now it wouldn't be a step forward. If anything, a step backwards. #saintsfc #lfc — Andy (@AndyC_8) May 29, 2015
I don't see why @Nathaniel_Clyne would want to go to Liverpool? Lallana and Lovren are proof that the grass ain't always greener. Sideways.
— Liam Dawtry (@Dawts88) May 29, 2015
What's clear now is Clyne will leave. Whether or not he goes to Liverpool remains to be seen. Last year of contract.. Take £15m. — terence (@terryletiss) May 29, 2015

We hate do things manually so sometimes when data is not quite in the right format for our use case, we'll use javascript to scrape website data into the structure we need.
We do this a lot with jQuery as well, which you can also check out, and try out, in our Run jQuery in Chrome Console post.
We're going to use javascript to scrape all the WordPress dashicon names off a page. Open a new tab with this awesome dashicon cheatsheet:
Right click on the page and click Inspect:
The console should open at the bottom of the page. Copy and paste the code below into the console at the bottom of the page:
const dashicons = [];
const elements = document.querySelectorAll('.dashicons-class');
for( let i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
dashicons.push( elements[i].innerHTML );
It should look like this after you paste in the code:

Lockdown has been difficult for everyone. The current world situation has been so devastating for so many people, but I'm not going to talk about that. Instead I want to acknowledge that things will eventually go back to normal, and to look forward to that day.
Over the past week I've compiled a list of 10 things I want to do after quarantine. Some will likely apply to everyone and some are more personal, but putting this list together was a great exercise that helped me feel more hopeful about the future.
1. Travel
Being under lockdown has reignited my desire to travel the world and I know I'm not alone. I've spent much of lockdown researching a few places that I'd love to visit one day, and I'm looking forward to when I can finally book an outbound ticket.
2. Teach English abroad
Before the quarantine I was considering moving to Vietnam to teach English for a year. I had invested in a TEFL certificate, had most of my necessary vaccinations and all I had left to do was book a flight.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to leave and I'm not sure which country I'll end up in, but teaching English abroad is a goal I want to achieve at some point in the next few years. I've always been passionate about education and moving abroad absolutey terrifies me, which is why I'm determined to make it happen.
3. Move into my own place
I've always valued my independence and so never envisioned moving back home. As much as I love living alone, I recently moved back in with my family which turned out to be a great decision for me – my tenancy was about to end and I didn't want to go through the process of finding a new place in the middle of a pandemic. But while I'm extremely lucky not to have the added stress of paying rent, I can't wait until I'm able to move into my own place again.
4. Get my dream job
I'm about to graduate with degree in maths and I've been taking this time to improve my employability and work on my coding skills. Most companies have delayed their hiring processes so I've been making the most of this time to make my graduate application the best it can be.
5. See friends and family
One of the hardest parts of lockdown for me has been the loneliness. I find it strange that I can't go and visit my best friend even though we're finally living in the same city again, and so catching up with friends and family is one of my top priorities for when the lockdown ends.
6. Get a new tattoo
Perhaps this is shallow given what's happening in the world but recently I've been feeling a real urge to get inked, and I won't apologise for it.
7. Learn to drive
I took some driving lessons a few years ago but never took my test. My driving instructor was brilliant but I struggled with driving anxiety and ended up cancelling it last minute. While the UK aren't conducting driving tests at the moment, I plan on learning to drive as soon as I'm able to – I doubt I'll ever own a car but I want to prove to myself that my anxiety can't stop me from doing anything.
8. Donate unwanted clothes
I've been meaning to have a huge clear out for months but I always managed to put it off. Minimising my possessions helps me reduce my stress levels and I have a lot of clothes which I intend on donating as soon as the charity shops reopen.
9. Eat out
I love food. Food is the key to my heart and one of my favourite parts of exploring new cities is trying out new restaurants. While my bank balance has been thanking me for all the home cooked meals lately, I'm looking forward to being able to eat out again.
10. Relax and take a break
The quarantine has been more stressful for me than I originally anticipated. I'm lucky to be in a good situation but the air of uncertainty as well as the constant media coverage has been a huge cause of stress and anxiety.
I've always enjoyed taking myself on small weekend getaways when I get too overwhelmed. It's a great way to switch off for a while and so I'm looking forward to taking myself somewhere nice and unplugging for a few days.
What's the first thing you plan to do after lockdown?
I'd love to hear your thoughts – let me know in the comments what the first thing you want to do after the quarantine is! If you've enjoyed this post consider subscribing to my weekly newsletter to be the first to hear about new posts.

The 2020/2021 school year at District 91 will most likely begin with remote instruction rather than in-person classes, according to a May 7 memo from Superintendent Lou Cavallo in which he discussed Governor J.B. Pritzker's Restore Illinois, the five-phased plan to re-open the state.
"The District 91 Board of Education has not yet adopted an official calendar for the 2021 school year. Our initial plan to begin school on August 24 is on hold until we know more about when we will be able to open. It is likely that it will be past that date," said Cavallo.
In his memo, Cavallo referenced what needed to happen in Illinois before schools would be allowed to open once more based on Restore Illinois.
Restore Illinois is, according to the official document, "guided by health metrics and with distinct business, education, and recreation activities characterizing each phase. This is an initial framework that will likely be updated as research and science develop and as the potential for treatments or vaccines is realized."
In his memo, Cavallo acknowledged the likelihood of students losing academic ground. He said the district is "planning for every contingency" since "school will certainly look different than it did before the pandemic."
Improvements to remote learning will continue to be made, and a learning loss committee has been assembled "to plan for any learning loss due to the pandemic." The district is planning for remote instruction over the summer "as well as what instruction will look like when we are able to return."
There will be changes, said Cavallo, to operations, such as registration, transportation and building usage. Additionally, building modifications and cleaning/disinfecting protocols are being examined.
And, addressing emotional and social needs of the students, Cavallo said, "We are planning for ways to provide additional social and emotional support to students and families during this difficult time."
Restore Illinois, announced on May 5, divides the state into regions, so different parts of the state may experience re-opening at different times. The five phases are Rapid Spread, Flattening, Recovery, Revitalization, and Illinois Restored.
According to the plan document, "To varying degrees, every region is experiencing flattening as of early May."
Schools in Illinois will not open until their region is in Phase 4, Revitalization.
But all regions in Illinois are still in Phase 2, which began on May 1 with Pritzker's modified stay-at-home order.
And it's hard to predict when a region will move from Phase 2 to Phase 3, let alone to Phase 4, where it needs to be before schools can reopen.
In order for a region to move from Phase 2 to Phase 3, several goals must be reached:
- The region must be at or under a 20 percent positivity rate and increasing no more than 10 percentage points over a 14-day period.
- The region must be stable or decreasing in hospital admissions for COVID-19 illness for 28 days.
- There must be available surge capacity of at least 14 percent of ICU beds, medical and surgical beds, and ventilators.
Additionally, testing must be available for all patients, health care workers, first responders, people with underlying conditions, and residents and staff in congregate living facilities. Contact tracing and monitoring within 24 hours of diagnosis must begin.
To move from Phase 3 to Phase 4 will require additional availability of testing and tracing.
During Phase 4, when schools will be allowed to reopen, along with restaurants and bars, "face coverings and social distancing" will still be "the norm."
As Cavallo said in his memo, "We now know what metrics will be used by the state to reopen and that the metrics will be applied by region — not the entire state at once. Therefore, some schools in other parts of the state may open before we do."

"As people take to the streets in the U.S. and around the world to protest systematic racism, universities are also taking a deep look at the ways that they have been impacted by and may be complicit in the inequitable structures around us. Only weeks after finishing spring semesters and terms unexpectedly delivered entirely online, universities are now beginning to ask if the move online in response to COVID-19, while enabling students to finish classes remotely, may have exacerbated inequities that already existed in the system, and, in some cases, increased them."—Source: Inside Higher Ed

Current Health acquired by Best Buy
A huge congratulations to Chris McCann and the entire Current Health team on the announcement that they will be partnering with Best Buy to deliver safe, effective healthcare in the home at scale.
MMC has backed Current Health since its Seed raise in 2018 and led its Series A round in 2019. We're incredibly proud of the business that this team has built, beginning as an Edinburgh-based startup and scaling to become a global player providing healthcare in the home.
At the time of the Series A, MMC Managing Partner, Bruce Macfarlane had this to say of the team:
"Healthcare is undergoing a paradigm shift from reactive, in-hospital treatment to proactive, community-based care... Reliable, continuous patient monitoring enables earlier intervention in the event of patient deterioration, a better experience for patients and fewer unnecessary hospital re-admissions. With its world-class team and platform, Current Health has the right fundamentals to execute on a vast opportunity and become a global category leader in this important market."Bruce Macfarlane, Managing Partner, MMC
Healthcare is still in a state of profound change, perhaps never more so given the stresses of the pandemic placed on an already precarious system.
We believe that patient care in the home is absolutely the future of affordable healthcare. This is why we're excited to see Current Health partner with Best Buy, its unparalleled physical reach and world-class supply chain logistics will help drive the delivery of safe, effective healthcare in the home at scale.
You can read more on the future of healthcare and the partnership with Best Buy from Current Health founder and CEO, Chris McCann, here.
At MMC we continue to research and invest behind opportunities that can reshape healthcare delivery to make it more cost-effective, more efficient, and higher quality.

In the version numbering system we use, 1.00 means nothing special. It's just a serial number. It's no more earth shaking than 0.99 or 1.01. That said, I did try to do something special for this release, knowing that it would have this number.
There's a new Outline settings command in the File menu that replaces the Set titles command. If you recall, the old command launched a dialog that allows you to set the short and long titles of an outline, as well as its description. These values are available when the outline is rendering through macros.
The Outline settings command brings up a tabbed dialog. The first panel of that dialog is a replica of the dialog in Set titles, and does exactly the same thing. There's a second panel that lets you change the font, size and line height on a per-outline basis. I found that when I was editing code in menubar.opml, I wanted to use a different font from the one I use to edit blog posts.
If you leave the font, size and line height blank, the defaults, set in the main settings dialog, will rule. (The main settings dialog is located in the System menu, the menu that's under your Dropbox username in the right edge of the menu bar.)
Now each outline can have its own font, size and lineheight.
And there's lots of room to add new per-outline settings, should the need arise.

The Colors of SapphiresSapphires come in a wide range of natural colors and shades. Sapphires are available in every color but red. Sapphires in colors other than blue are often referred to as fancy sapphires. The most valuable sapphires have a medium intense, vivid blue color. Black, gray, or green overtones mixed in with the blue will reduce a stone's value. A more pastel blue would be less preferred than a vivid blue but would still be priced higher than an over dark blackish blue color. Color is mainly caused by the gemstone's selective absorption of certain wavelengths of light called the body color. In gemstones, color consists of three components:

Here's a situation we've all been in many times before:
You're driving down the road and in your rearview mirror, you see and hear the lights and sirens of an emergency vehicle, most likely an ambulance, fire truck or police car.
What do you do?
(Your first thought probably is a sigh of relief that you're not getting a ticket.)
We're all taught a simple mantra: "When you see sirens and lights, move to the right."
While I was at a meeting Thursday with several of Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue's chiefs and officers, this topic of conversation came up. Unfortunately, they said, many drivers get confused or are troublesome when emergency vehicles are racing to a situation where seconds count.
According to CK's Public Education Specialist Theresa MacLennan and Assistant Chief Randy Billick, moving to the right should always be the first thought. And whatever you do, don't block the vehicle by stopping in the middle to the road.
Granted, there are tricky situations. For instance, what do you do in a roundabout? (Find out here.) What about heavy traffic?
Just move to the right, unless instructed to do otherwise, they say. You'll be helping them to get to what could be a life-and-death situation.
Thanks to a bill passed by the 2005 State Legislature, you could be ticketed for blocking a vehcile (To read the bill, click here).
Many of us have stories about times an ambulance, cop or fire truck has entered our rearview mirror with its lights and sirens going. Feel free to share yours.

Gold Prices Remain Subdued in Bull Flag as USD Drops Through Support
What's on this page
Gold Price Outlook Talking Points:
- Gold prices remain in a corrective state, clinging to a bull flag formation even as the US Dollar has fallen through key areas of support.
- The bullish theme in Gold prices remains with potential but, at this stage, buyers have shown little responsiveness to USD-weakness, indicating that a deeper pullback may be around-the-corner should any element of relief show in the US currency.
- DailyFX Forecasts are published on a variety of markets such as Gold, the US Dollar or the Euro and are available from the DailyFX Trading Guides page. If you're looking to improve your trading approach, check out Traits of Successful Traders. And if you're looking for an introductory primer to the Forex market, check out our New to FX Guide.
Gold Prices Hold in Bull Flag as USD Drops
It's been a big week so far in the US Dollar with the currency continuing to fall as part of the Q4 bearish theme that's shown in the USD. And while this level of USD-weakness would traditionally come along with bid support in Gold prices, that simply hasn't shown, and this begs the question as to whether that bullish backdrop in Gold that was so pronounced earlier this summer is dead and gone or whether buyers are hanging out on the sidelines awaiting a more-compelling point of entry before pouncing again.
As looked at on Monday, Gold prices remain in a bull flag formation that's been building ever since a key zone of long-term resistance came into play in early-August trade. At the time prices first began to encounter that support, RSI was showing heavily overbought, rivaling levels last seen on the weekly chart in 2011 when Gold prices topped-out above the 1900 level. As discussed then and multiple times since, this doesn't necessarily spell doom-and-gloom for Gold prices so much as it urges caution from chasing.
I had looked within the near-term setup on Monday, spotting two different support zones. The nearer of those zones remains in-play has the 1475-1480 level has helped to hold support since then. But, bulls have yet to make a lasting mark as that support inflection has merely led to another lower-high.

Getting a bit closer to the price action of the matter, and those lower-highs coupled with continued support in the 1475-1480 zone may be spelling a near-term bearish move in Gold; and given the showing from Gold bulls so far this week as the US Dollar has fallen through its own support highlights how even a slight amount of relief in USD may help to push Gold down to the second zone looked at above, around the 1453 swing-high that showed in July trade that, as yet, hasn't been tested for support since the early-August breakout.

Gold Price Strategy Moving Forward
In recent weeks, I've looked at bearish setups in the effort of trading within the bearish channel as part of the bull flag formation, and this was well supported by a key area of resistance in the zone that's continued to deter the bullish backdrop in Gold, taken from Fibonacci levels at 1509 and 1527. But with prices now so far away from those highs and with sellers getting increasingly more aggressive while buyers are continuing to shy away from near-term resistance, and that bearish backdrop could be a bit more difficult to work with at the moment.
One possible scenario, and this would likely be reserved for short-term strategies of an aggressive nature, would be looking for a break of the low from last Friday at 1473.80. Deeper short-term support potential could be seen around prior swings around 1470, 1464 and then the October low around 1459. This would, in essence, be looking for a descending triangle breakdown on a short-term basis inside of the longer-term bull flag formation.

The Bigger Picture Behind Gold Prices
The bullish backdrop remains and while this retracement/pullback is now working on its third month, that pullback has still been relatively shallow in the bigger picture. Taken the low set in last-August this pullback has only retraced as much as 23.6% of that prior move; which is where that early-October swing-low comes into play. This can keep the focus for most strategies on the long side of Gold with the primary question being one of timing as the bull flag formation hasn't yet shown signs of giving way.
Gold Price Weekly Chart
Chart prepared by James Stanley; Gold on Tradingview
This means that there are two possible approaches for Gold bulls here: Either way for buyers to push above the bearish channel or, alternatively, try to pick on support similar to what's been followed in these articles over the past two weeks. Given the tread that's shown around the 1475-1480 zone, traders would likely want to cast that focus for support a bit-lower, focusing on areas such as the 1464 or 1459 swing-lows looked at above or, perhaps even that 1453 swing-high from July that has yet to be tested for support since the early-August breakout.

text: Cerber Ransomware 5.0.1: _README_.hta virus decryption and removal By Will Wisser Posted on November 29, 2016 4 min read 0 3,892 A notorious data-encrypting threat is currently manifesting itself as Cerber Ransomware 5.0.1, the latest edition that creates the _README_.hta ransom note. The Cerber ransomware keeps mutating to persevere with its successful deployment campaigns and continue to be a moving target for the IT security community. The new variant looks quite similar to its precursors on the outside, but turns out to have fundamental differences upon closer scrutiny. First of all, the desktop wallpaper with the ransom note now associates the attack with what's called "Cerber Ransomware 5.0.1". Secondly, the criminals have switched from using the README.hta recovery manual to one called _README_.hta. Furthermore, Cerber 5.0.1 is being distributed through the aid of RIG-V, which is an advanced version of an infamous exploit kit available on darknet resources. This malware distribution toolset leverages the RC4 cryptographic algorithm to conceal perpetrating payloads, so it allows the ransomware to fly under the radar of antivirus suites as it's trespassing on a computer. Cerber Ransomware 5.0.1 desktop background One more noteworthy thing that changed in Cerber Ransomware 5.0.1 and the v5.0 series in general is the size of targeted files. Whereas the infection used to encrypt data objects as long as they were larger than 1,024 bytes, the updated version only zeroes in on files whose size is 2,560 bytes or more. Consequently, smaller entries are no longer at risk. Also, the developers of this malady have expanded the range of IP addresses applicable for transmitting UDP packets to the Command and Control server. When operating on a computer, this ransomware collects system statistics and establishes network communication to send them to the C2 so that the attackers on the backend can stay on top of all infection details. Files locked by Cerber 5.0.1 The rest of the attack workflow is virtually the same as before. Cerber 5.0.1 contaminates Windows machines through a scheme that involves a network of compromised websites. When a user visits one of these pages, the above-mentioned RIG-V exploit kit hosted on it will find software vulnerabilities on the PC and harness them to stealthily inject the ransomware. This process is imperceptible to the naked eye, so the would-be victims don't have much chance to notice and prevent the compromise. Cerber Decryptor page Once on board a computer, the ransom Trojan finds all personal files on the hard drive, removable media and network shares. Then, it encrypts the data using a strong crypto algorithm. It also scrambles filenames according to the following pattern: [10 chars].[4-char extension]. The string of 4 hexadecimal characters, which replaces the original extension, actually matches the MachineGuid registry value. This parameter is unique for every PC. The ransom note named _README_.hta and the new desktop background instruct the victim to navigate to the Cerber Decryptor page using the Tor Browser. The page displays the amount of the ransom that the infected user has to pay to get the private decryption key. Normally, it is 1 BTC, or about $730. That's the "special price" offer, though, which expires in 5 days. Afterward, the victim will be bound to submit 2 BTC. In order to save yourself the trouble of redeeming your own files for that much money, keep your operating system and installed software up to date and do not browse to dubious web pages. The sections below contain some helpful tips in regards to restoring the encrypted files. Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware automated removal and data recovery When faced with ransomware like Cerber 5.0.1, one of the best shortcuts in terms of removal is to use Combo Cleaner, a lightweight and incredibly effective application with PC security and optimization features under the hood. It detects and thoroughly deletes threats while giving you insights into the overall health of your computer. This program's protection power spans modules that forestall all known types of malware, including ransomware and browser hijackers, and take your online security to the next level by blocking phishing sites and other suspicious web pages. Follow these simple steps to eliminate the infection for good: 1. Download Combo Cleaner installer. Download Cerber 5.0.1 remover Combo Cleaner scans your PC with no strings attached, but you'll have to buy its fully functional version to remove the threats it detects. The disk optimization tools that find large files and duplicates are free to use. 2. Open the CCSetup.exe file to get started. Several subsequent screens will allow you to make initial customizations so that the program works exactly as you need from the get-go. 3. The installation will be followed by an update of malware signatures. Once this process is through, click the Start Scan button in the left-hand sidebar. 4. Combo Cleaner will then check system locations that are most often polluted by Windows malware. The first scan can take a while to finish. 5. Combo Cleaner will display a system tray notification as soon as the scan is over. Click the Resolve found threats button to view the results. 6. The scan summary shows the names and types of the detected threats as well as their statuses and locations. Click the Remove all threats button and follow further on-screen prompts to get rid of these items. Data recovery toolkit to the rescue Some strains of ransomware are known to delete the original files after the encryption routine has been completed. As hostile as this activity appears, it can play into your hands. There are applications designed to revive the information that was obliterated because of malfunctioning hardware or due to accidental removal. The tool called Stellar Data Recovery features this type of a capability and therefore it can be applied in ransom attack scenarios to at least get the most important files back. So use the app to get an idea of what data can be restored and let it do the recovery job. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough: 1. Download and install Stellar Data Recovery. Download Stellar Data Recovery 2. Open the application, select the types of recoverable files to look for, and click Next. 3. Choose the areas you want the tool to recover from and click the Scan button. 4. Having scanned the specified locations, the program will display a notification about the total amount of recoverable data. Close the dialog and click the Recover button. This will hopefully help you get some of your valuable files back. Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware manual removal and file recovery Some ransomware strains terminate themselves after completing the encryption job on a computer, but some don't. Furthermore, the Cerber 5.0.1 virus may prevent victims from using popular antimalware tools in order to stay on board for as long as possible. Under the circumstances, it may be necessary to utilize the Safe Mode with Networking or System Restore functionality. Remove Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware using Safe Mode with Networking Remove Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware using Safe Mode with Networking Boot into Safe Mode with Networking. The method to do it depends on the version of the infected operating system. Follow the instructions below for your OS build. Windows XP / Vista / 7 Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 Restart the machine. When the system begins loading back up, keep pressing the F8 key with short intervals. The Windows Advanced Options Menu (Advanced Boot Options) screen will appear. Use arrow keys to select Safe Mode with Networking and hit Enter. Log on with the user account infected by the ransomware. Click on the Search icon next to the Start menu button. Type msconfig in the search field and select the System Configuration option in the results. Go to the Boot tab in the upper part of the GUI. Under Boot options, select Safe boot and click the Apply button. A prompt will appear to reboot the computer so that the changes take effect. Select the Restart option and wait for the system to load into Safe Mode. Again, log on with the ransomware-stricken user account. In Safe Mode, the ransom Trojan won't keep security software from running or otherwise thwart troubleshooting. Open your preferred web browser, download and install an antimalware tool of choice and start a full system scan. Have all the detected ransomware components removed in a hassle-free way. Get rid of Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware using System Restore Get rid of Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware using System Restore System Restore enables Windows users to roll back all changes made to the OS since the latest restore point creation time. This feature can help eliminate the most persistent ransomware. Before going this route, though, make sure System Restore had been enabled prior to the breach, otherwise the method will be inefficient. Open Windows Advanced Options Menu as described in the previous section: hit F8 repeatedly when the PC is starting up. Use arrow keys to highlight the Safe Mode with Command Prompt entry. Hit Enter. In the Command Prompt window, type cd restore and hit Enter Type rstrui.exe in the new command line and press Enter When the System Restore screen pops up, click Next, select a restore point that predates the contamination, and use the application's controls to roll back the system to this earlier state. Be advised that even after the ransomware is removed, files will still be encrypted and inaccessible. The malicious code cleanup part, however, is important because it keeps a relapse of the infection from occurring further on and eliminates all opportunistic malware. Ways of non-ransom recovery of locked files Cracking the crypto used by this ransom Trojan is more of a science fiction thing rather than an attainable prospect for the masses. This is why the troubleshooting in predicaments of this sort is a matter of two approaches: one is to pay the ransom, which isn't an option for many victims; and the other is to apply instruments that take advantage of the ransomware's possible weaknesses. If the latter is your pick, the advice below is a must-try. Backups can make your day Backups can make your day Not only are you a lucky person in case you've been backing up your most important files, but you're also a wise and prudent user. This isn't necessarily a resource-heavy activity these days – in fact, some providers of online services are allocating a sufficient size of cloud storage space for free so that every customer can easily upload their critical data without paying a penny. Having removed the Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware, therefore, all you have to do is download your stuff from the remote server or transfer it all from an external piece of hardware if that's the case. Restore previous versions of encrypted files Restore previous versions of encrypted files A positive upshot of using this technique depends on whether or not the ransomware has erased the Volume Shadow Copies of the files on your PC. This is a Windows feature that automatically makes and keeps the backups of data elements on the hard drive as long as System Restore is enabled. The cryptoware in question is programmed to switch off the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), but it has reportedly failed to in some cases. Checking one's options regarding this workaround is doable in two ways: through the Properties menu of each file or by means of the remarkable open-source tool called Shadow Explorer. We recommend the software-based way because it's automated, hence faster and easier. Just install the app and use its intuitive controls to get previous versions of the encrypted objects reinstated. Alternatively, you can leverage the Previous Versions feature, which is native to Windows operating system. This method is more cumbersome that the use of ShadowExplorer, but it can help restore the most important individual files on condition that the ransomware failed to disable the Volume Snapshot Service on the computer. Right-click on a file of choice and select Properties. Then, go to the Previous Versions tab as illustrated below. Go ahead and pick the file's latest backup version on the list. Use the Copy or Restore buttons to reinstate this object to a new path or to its original folder, respectively. Ransomware Prevention Tips To avoid Cerber 5.0.1 ransomware and other file-encrypting infections in the future, follow several simple recommendations: Toggle your email provider's anti-spam settings to filter out all the potentially harmful incoming messages. Raising the bar beyond the default protection is an important countermeasure for ransom TrojansDefine specific file extension restrictions in your email system. Make sure that attachments with the following extensions are blacklisted: .js, .vbs, .docm, .hta, .exe, .cmd, .scr, and .bat. Also, treat ZIP archives in received messages with extreme cautionRename the vssadmin.exe process so that ransomware is unable to obliterate all Shadow Volume Copies of your files in one shotKeep your Firewall active at all times. It can prevent crypto ransomware from communicating with its C&C server. This way, the threat won't be able to obtain cryptographic keys and lock your filesBack up your files regularly, at least the most important ones. This recommendation is self-explanatory. A ransomware attack isn't an issue as long as you keep unaffected copies of your data in a safe placeUse an effective antimalware suite. There are security tools that identify ransomware-specific behavior and block the infection before it can do any harm. These techniques are certainly not a cure-all, but they will add an extra layer of ransomware protection to your security setup. Revise your security status Post-factum assessment of the accuracy component in malware removal scenarios is a great habit that prevents the comeback of harmful code or replication of its unattended fractions. Make sure you are good to go by running an additional safety checkup. Another benefit of using the antimalware tool is that it will keep ransomware threats from intruding on your computer further on.

Bentleyville to Stay in Duluth
Duluth Mayor Don Ness and the founder of Bentleyville Tour of Lights reached an agreement this week to keep the popular holiday lights display in town through 2015, reports the Duluth News Tribune.
Nathan Bentley moved the sprawling display from his home in rural Cloquet to Duluth's Bayfront Festival Park in 2009 after traffic and visitation became unwieldy. The previous agreement would have expired after this year.
Winter Storm Wallops the Upper Midwest
A mighty winter storm dumped upwards of a foot of snow on parts of the upper Midwest this week. The eastern Upper Peninsula received as much as 18 inches, prompting many schools in the area to close. The National Weather Service has more snowfall reports for the Lake Superior region.

"Working with Ivy on this outfit was super exciting and fun. She helped me articulate what I was envisioning in my mind and came up with some fabulous sketches. She was great at helping me with what colour combos look better with each other and super understanding of how Drag outfits work as opposed to a burlesque outfit for a Cis gender woman. I have worn this outfit a lot on stage over the past year and have only had to replace one bra clip. Stones are super durable and everything fit perfectly."
Ivy made Regina Slay a silver and navy burlesque outfit consisting of a gown w/ removable boa ruffle, bra, underbust corset, harness (designed to keep breastplate secure) w/ tearaway fringe skirt, g-string and pasties. - all covered in 3D lace and rhinestones.
"Ivy created the costume of my dreams! We did a measurement taking session via Skype, which was fantastic as she was able to see everything, plus it's convenient when you live in a different state. Ivy designed and embellished a bra, knickers and corset for me. The corset is truly exquisite. I just adore the transparent mesh! She embellished it with different tones of red rhinestones and beading to create the blood drip and slash effect I was after. I just love looking at the embellishments on the corset, as I can see how much work went into it. I really wanted to use fan lacing, so Ivy added a decorative fan lacing effect to the hips, which is so gorgeous and makes the corset even more special. Wearing the corset is an absolute dream, as it fits my wide hips perfectly and is the perfect length. It gives a fantastic cinch, too! The bra & knicks fit fantastically - feel so nice to have something custom made. Can't recommend this talented woman highly enough. Asphyxia Couture for president!"
Ivy made Jade a bra, corset and knicker set with rhinestone and bead "blood slash" detail and corset fan lacing detail.
"I sent Ivy a few reference photos that I found online and she did an amazing job of taking the pieces I wanted from certain photos and combining them all together. She then incorporated a few tearaway pieces for performing and all the tearaways are super easy and trustworthy on stage. Stones are bulletproof. Fits super well. This outfit was completely planned via email and measured via Skype, and Ivy was the best to work with this way. Super thorough and amazing results as always."
Ivy made Regina Slay a white and gold drag outfit consisting of an overbust corset, tearaway fringe skirt, g-string - all covered in rhinestone linework.
"Ivy's brain would make Einstein feel inadequate. She is an absolute genius and can take a rambling idea and turn it into a fabulous costume. I went to Ivy with a concept that I thought would be impossible…turns out, nothing is impossible with her. She created a fabulous corset for me that is incredibly sparkly and beautiful, and not only that, she created the rest of my costume as well. I have never had such a well made, beautifully crafted outfit in my entire performing career. Ivy made sure all the elements worked perfectly together, and that every item complemented the others. The final product was a million times better than my initial idea, and I would recommend this woman to anyone who wants a unique, strong and fabulous costume. I cannot wait to strut this baby on an international stage!"
Ivy made Duchess DeBerry two elaborate burlesque outfits - "Wild Orchid" and "Rain"
"Ivy is the absolute best. She treated me with such respect throughout the whole process and understood how important this costume was to me. I am a lifelong fan now (and client). Ivy gave me a costume and act guidance that actually took me back to the performer I wanted to be when I first started and I cannot thank her enough."
Ivy made Aèrie Elle a red + black chantilly lace burlesque costume w/ floral headdress + faux fur boa + sheer faux fur robe + bra + corset + tearaway panel skirt + g-string + pasties.
"I went to Ivy with quite a vague idea of what I wanted and 1 or 2 reference photos. From that, she created one of the most stunning and professional costumes I own. The consultation process was very collaborative and she worked with my budget to create the best possible costume, offering me various options at different prices for me to make an informed decision. She understands the intricacy of burlesque design and makes the garments to come off in unique ways that I probably wouldn't have even thought of! Throughout the process I really felt like Ivy was as excited as I was about this costume and cared about creating a costume that I would be happy with."
Ivy made Ainslie Adams a blue burlesque outfit w/ overbust corset + peek-a-boo corseted fishtail skirt + suspender skirt + faux fur boa + g-string + pasties.
"I'm collaborating with Asphyxia Couture on my next two costumes and it's an amazing process. I trust her completely to run with my ideas and make them amazing!"
Ivy made Lola the Vamp a "Snow" themed burlesque outfit w/ floral icicle headdress + sheer faux fur lace robe + sheer overbust corset + sheer suspender skirt + g-string + pasties + microphone stand fans.
"Ivy is an absolute dream to work with! I made the right choice investing in Ivy's work for my first custom burlesque costume. Every stage of the process was characterised by ease and professionalism and I will call on Ivy and her creative prowess to continue my collection of snazzy costumes in the future. Her corsetry skills were a highlight! Cleverly shaped, incredibly sturdy and impeccably constructed."
Ivy made Abel Fox a burnt orange + black "Red Fox" themed burlesque costume w/ a tailored jacket + caged bra + underbust corset + tearaway briefs + g-string + faux fur boa/fox tails.
"I can not recommend Asphyxia Couture enough for my dragon costume. Her work is impeccable both inside and out, she worked with me to ensure my vision came to life, everything fitted perfectly, everything arrived on time and she was lovely and easy to work with to ensure my costume was exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend booking in your next costume with her."
Ivy made Night Temptress a "Mother Of Dragons" burlesque costume covered in scale maille, rhinestone and sequin detail.
"I just wanted to personally endorse Asphyxia Couture. Ivy has made two of my costumes and every time the quality is outstanding. She will quietly do repairs as requested and without fuss. A true professional. Please book her for your next Costume or corset. You will not be disappointed."
Ivy made Dolores Daiquiri burnt orange + red burlesque costume w/ rhinestone + fringing detail.
"I was so excited when I got my first custom made corset from Ivy. It was exactly what I wanted and the matching pasties she made to go with it were perfect. I recommend her to anyone who wants their dream costume made."
Ivy made Pandora Cherie a peacock-themed burlesque outfit consisting of a pattern-matched underbust corset, bra w/ removable sculpted cups, g-string and pasties to match.
"Asphyxia Couture does sensational work. Ivy designed and made my stunning 'watermelon' for the Australian Burlesque Festival 2015. She is professional, creative, talented and super nice to work with. I was very impressed by her commitment and pride towards her designs. I highly recommend Asphyxia if you are after quality and a stress free process. I will certainly be working with Ivy again. 5 stars!!"
Ivy made Dolores Daiquiri a watermelon inspired burlesque outfit featuring handmade and hand painted watermelon and floral headdress, pink velvet overdress, a green brocade corset w/ guipure lace and rhinestone detail w/ matching high waisted knickers, a sequin watermelon-cupped bra w/ a matching g-string and pasties.
"Wow this girl is amazing! I had a (very) vague idea of what I wanted to wear on my wedding day but found it hard to put into words. Ivy got into my brain and figured it all out for me! She made the whole process so much fun, was extremely flexible with appointments, kept in constant contact even though we were in opposite ends of the country and catered to my last minute requests and changes like a boss (including making a cravat for the groom-which was also perfect)! I felt fantastic on my wedding day, the corset was so comfortable to wear! I had oodles of great comments about how the outfit was beautiful and "so me". Thank you again for making me feel like a rockstar on our big day Ivy, I couldn't have been happier with how your masterpiece turned out! I highly recommend Asphyxia Couture for any other brides to be out there!"
Ivy made Bryony a bridal overbust corset and skirt with chantilly lace and rose detail.
"Ivy's work is immaculate! I have 3 different outfits made for performing from Ivy now, my black sequin tuxedo costume with corset, bra, tuxedo jacket, undies & gloves (which I have had for over 3 years now and it still looks good as new!), my gorgeous white outfit with bra, corset, panel skirt, gloves and over gown, and my latest addition is a custom pink butterfly corset. I have no concerns with Ivy designing my outfits from afar (I am in Christchurch and she is in Auckland), every outfit has fitted me perfectly. My white outfit won 'Best Costume' at Miss Burlesque NZ 2013, and also 'Best Costume' at the Golden Garters for the New Zealand Burlesque Festival 2013. I highly recommend Ivy and her very talented hands to anyone who is looking for a superior garment that will stand the test of time!"
Ivy has made Bonita three unique burlesque outfits.

What to do if you're denied student loan refinancing.
The Federal Reserve predicted that they'd keep their interest rates low through 2023, which means you may have time to prepare to refinance your student loans.
Man calculating expenses
If you don't qualify for a refinance right now, here are 4 things you can do to position yourself for approval in a few months:
1. Reduce other debt
2. Increase your income
3. Review your credit report for errors
4. Improve your credit score
13 Ways to Deal with Debt Collectors
To qualify for student loan refinancing with the best rates, aim to have a credit score over 650 and a debt to income ratio below 50%. To maximize savings, consider refinancing your student loan if you have a balance of over $5,000. Additionally, lenders want to see that you have a steady income.

China is home to 50 UNESCO World Heritage sites, second in the world only to Italy, which has 51. On our recent trip, Helga and I were fortunate enough to see 10 of them, including one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World.
The Great Wall exceeded our already high expectations. Of course, we had seen any number of pictures of, and films about, the wall – none of which were able to communicate the sheer enormity of it. The Great Wall snakes over deserts, hills and plains for 5,500 miles. It was created only after the unification of China under the first Emperor of China Qin Shi Huangdi (221-210 BC), but the majority of the existing wall dates from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD).
It is an enormous construction and nothing can prepare you for the thrill of actually being up on it and able to walk along it for miles. It is a myth, however, that the Great Wall is visible from the moon, or even from low Earth orbit, with the naked eye. It is not.
Despite its impressive battlements, the wall ultimately proved ineffective at keeping out undesirables (Mr. Trump please take note); it was breached in the 13thC by the Mongols and then, in the 17thC, by the Manchu.
There are several places near Beijing for a day's excursion to the wall. We went due north to Mutianyu. We had a really lovely day – cloudless sky, no wind and temperatures about 24˚C. Getting up to the wall was a bit of a climb, but once there we could see it extending uphill and down dale for miles in either direction. It was a truly awe-inspiring and unforgettable sight. No photograph can ever really do it justice. The appeal of Mutianyu lies in its dramatic hilly setting.
The wall here dates from 1368 and was built on the foundations of the wall built in 550-577 AD. You can walk as far as you want, or are able, in either direction.
Back in Beijing there were three other World Heritage sights for us to see. Certainly the best known is The Forbidden City, which was the Imperial Palace from 1420 to the end of the Qing dynasty in 1912. The complex is entered from the south, from Tian'an Men Square through the Ming dynasty Tian'an Men Gate, which leads through a large courtyard to the actual entrance, which is the Meridian Gate. You then have 72ha of 980 buildings, surrounded by a 7.9m high wall.
It sounds overcrowded and oppressive but, in fact, there is a lot of open area and, of course, the buildings are a unique example of Chinese imperial architecture.
Not far to the south lies The Temple of Heaven, one of the largest temple complexes in China and a perfect example of Chinese architectural balance and symbolism. It was built from 1406 to 1420 and used by the Emperor to pray for good harvests. The main building is, in fact, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, a magnificent triple-gabled circular edifice 36 metres in diameter and constructed of wood but without nails. The entire park complex is huge (267ha) and is a favourite spot for elderly Chinese to come and play cards, Mahjong or Go.
Just outside Beijing to the northeast lies The Summer Palace, the last of the Beijing area World Heritage sights that we saw. This is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces that serves as a popular tourist destination and recreational park. The area is dominated by Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill. The lake was entirely man-made and the earth that was dug out was used to create the hill, which now is dominated by the Tower of the Fragrance of the Buddha.
Although the Summer Palace's origins date from 1153, it owes its present appearance to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who misappropriated a large amount of money meant for upgrading the Imperial navy and used it to renovate the Summer Palace instead (1886). To celebrate her 60th birthday she even had created the ultimate luxury – a 96 metre-long marble boat.
When we were at the Summer Palace, we came upon a large group of Chinese in a pavilion up on a flank of Longevity Hill being entertained by a small brass band. Everyone was singing quite heartily, following music and words that had been handed out. It was quite an enchanting scene and totally "untouristic". A banner even read (in Chinese and English) "Heart to Heart Chorus".
There are six more Chinese World Heritage sites, away from Beijing, to tell you about, but that will have to wait until next week.

First Karen Traditional Restaurant Opens in Rangoon
A Karen restaurant has opened in Rangoon with the objective to introduce traditional dishes to the public. The owner, Sa Khwa Khwa said his restaurant, Non Tae Ya [The Flag], plans to introduce traditional Karen food to the market, and said it will be the first restaurant to do so.
Sa Khwa Khwa restaurant opened for business on Tuesday June 5th in Insein, Rangoon.
Sa Khwa Khwa, told Karen News that he is determined to make a success of serving Karen food and hopes to be open for a long time.
"Even though there are lots of Karen traditional dishes, people don't really know them," Sa Kwa Kwa said before adding, " It is very sad for me to see that no one sells it. My dream has been that one day I will open a Karen restaurant serving traditional dishes to make Karen cuisine known to everyone."
Sa Kwa Kwa said that he researched and learnt for more than six months about traditional Karen dishes from the Irrawaddy delta region and other places in Karen State before opening the Non Tae Ya restaurant.
Mahn Than Win Oo, secretary (1) of Karen literature and cultural committee based in Rangoon said. "This is something that Karen people should be proud of. We can all work together to display our traditional cuisines. Karen people can suggest and recommend their local cuisines and recipes."
Mahn Than Win Oo also suggested that Karen community organizations and Karen activists should support the Non Tae Ya restaurant so that Karen traditional food will be loved by other all people.
Karen traditional dishes were well received when recently served during the International Women Day ceremony on March 8th in Yangon Public Square.
Karen activists also said that although there are many recipes cooked and made by different Karen people in different places, there are hardly any Karen traditional restaurants in Karen regions and Karen State.
The Non Tae Ya plans to serve around 50 Karen traditional dishes, including well-known dishes such as Talapaw, Karen Myaung Mya Mont Hin Kha, Turmeric leave wrapped grilled fish, Karen –chili-paste Da Hae Poe, Karen fish-paste, cucumber salad, rural cooking style curry, banana flower salad, and many other Karen style dishes.
The Non Tae Ya restaurant is open from 7am to 9pm, Maharthukhitar 7th Street East Gyogone section, Insein Township, Rangoon.
