Personal Cybersecurity awareness became a necessity in the current situation of increasing digital transformation. Either at the business level or individuals, you need to protect your identity, accounts, money, and so on.
In conjunction with rising remote work alongside with COVID19 pandemic, cyber-attacks and breaches have increased. But still, most individuals and companies aren't prepared enough for cyberattacks.
By the following basic tips about personal cybersecurity, this article aims to help you increase your ability to protect yourself against the sophisticated hackers' techniques that continue to evolve.
Let's explore…
#1. Self-awareness Role and Precaution
Despite that, programmers and software producers are very careful to protect the end-users, but personal cybersecurity is similar to your house door lock. Though many police are caring to protect you, you should also lock your house door yourself. As well, cybersecurity also is everyone's responsibility.
You should take care of being cognitively updated. Most cybersecurity issues depend on updating your knowledge about the newest hacking and malware trends. In many cases, cyberthreats' success was due to ignorance or negligence of some simple security tips.
#2. Understanding Digital Identity and the Nature of the Cyberworld
On the internet, you have many different digital identities than your one real-world identity. In the cyber world, you should enter your digital identity qualities in the form of credentials to identify you as the owner of the device/account, so you need to protect these credentials carefully. It resembles your real-life credentials, face, sound, and national identity card, etc.
So if attackers have known your cyberworld credentials which usually can be your username and password, you have fallen prey to them. They will have access to your private messages and photos in your social media account or your bank account details and money.
#3. Enable Automatic Security Updates
For your devices' software, from the operating system (Windows, Android, Mac, etc.) to the browser extension, you should set every application and software on your devices to the auto-update option.
Updating software adds new features and enables software companies to fix bugs and remove critical vulnerabilities that hackers exploit to make their attacks.
Despite the horror generated by the increase of cyber threats, by updating your every software, you have nearly half of the way towards enjoying secure computing and internet browsing.
In addition to that, you need to update regularly your Antivirus and Firewall applications. This was well known for a long time on the PCs, but it's newly become also recommended for smartphones, though phones still don't make installing Antivirus mandatory as in Windows OS.
The benefits of updating protection software are to keep them with the latest trends of cyberattacks. This helps protect your devices from new malicious files and viruses effectively and keeps your data safe from attacks that damage or steal them.
Antivirus is not just for personal computers but also business.
#4. Avoid Sharing and Clicking Unknown Links
Clicking anywhere without investigating the website's legitimacy or downloading an attachment without knowing the email sender may cause entering malicious software into your device. It may be an infected URL that causes installing ransomware that locks your access to your data unless you pay money for the hacker.
Also, it's recommended to install some browser plugins that block automatic downloading of any scripts or Java, whereas flash plug-in content can host malicious code.
Regarding sharing, you shouldn't disclose your password and sensitive information to anyone. Also, when you use multifactor authentication that combines multiple types of credentials, face, fingerprint, SMS based authentication to your phone with a one-use code, don't give this SMS code to any person.
For example, some attackers ask you to give them this code to join you for a Whatsapp group, don't give them.
In general, experts said sharing is not caring, not only for your credentials but even for much of your personal information. It's recommended to share the minimum amount of personal information on social media. Besides, Check your privacy settings on all of your social media accounts, especially on Facebook.
#5. Avoid Setting Easy-to-discover Password
Password should be easy to remember, but this makes it easy to discover!
Attackers use dictionary-based software to try from millions of possibles and the most commonly used passwords. Please avoid specifically those top 200 easy passwords easy to discover. Besides, don't use your name, family name, birthday, or personal thing as a password; hackers can make unexpected investigations about your life.
How to make a password that is easy to remember for you and impossible to discover for hackers? It would be best if you made a complex password, but in a way that you can remember it. For example, take the first letters of some quotes; this makes them a new nondictionary word. Then modify it with some numbers and symbols to increase its power.
The password also should be a long one. And it would help if you used a different password for every different login, so you need Password Manager software. It makes you need only to remember one long password for all your logins, and it's called the Master Password.
#6. Be Aware of Social Engineering Deceiving Methods
Social Engineering is used typically in marketing and politics. But in the cyberworld, it's used sometimes for hacking and deception. By gaining your confidence to give them some of your credentials, they trick you into breaching your data. It's become easier with the smartphone.
Recently, the number of cyber-attacks has increased since using the smartphone.
Social Engineering deceiving is not based on technology vulnerabilities but human or user behavior. Deceiving by Social Engineering existed before computers, but computers and smartphones make it easier to do. But we should not be afraid of using digital technology if we truly understand it.
To avoid Social Engineering, be aware of some hidden self-biases. For example, you have an email claim that you should reply urgently in 24 hours to get your heritage and that you must give them your password or send them some money or your password. Some other example, when they are exploiting respect for an authority such as police or your boss to give them your password. In all cases, don't give the password to anyone.
#7. Always install Your Apps From a Legitimate Software Store.
Ensure you download your apps and software from the original websites on the computer; avoid those modified or cracked. When you double click the installing (EXE) file, a message prompts on the Windows screen will tell you the publisher name of the software.
If the message color is blue and the publisher's name is stated, it's OK. But if the publisher name is unknown and the message color is yellow, you should avoid installing this unknown publisher software; it's maybe malware can harm your data.
For your smartphone, always make sure to install only from legitimate secure stores, such as Google Play, Samsung Store, App Store. And avoid enabling installing apps from third-party sources.
#8. Check the Email Address and the Link Domain Name
When you receive an email or open an URL, you should make sure of the domain name and the sender's email address. For example, you may open some URL that appears as a genuine-looking Facebook website. But if you check the domain name above in the domain box, you may find something like "facebook.example.com". This is not the Facebook original domain name, or you may find something different such as faceboök.com; notice here is a different (o) letter. The same applies to the email address.
These fake domains/email address aims to deceive and phishing you. With the fake Facebook URL, if you log in entering your username and password, the hacker on the other side will take them and will hack your Facebook account. In the fake email case, they perhaps try to convince you to pay some money or give them some critical information claiming that they are from the Google security team or Paypal, etc. So, carefully check the email sender address.
#9. Distinguish Between Backup and Cloud Sync
Backing up is a vital security procedure even before the spread of the internet; it secures a copy of your sensitive data or even the entire system and software on an external disc or at the cloud. You can restore your data if it's damaged or compromised by some hacker, or even if just the device crashes.
There are many backup software and hardware options, and automatic backup is the best. Some of them work on your local device and store the backup on an external disc, which doesn't need high-speed internet.
Some others upload your data to the cloud, be aware that cloud sync is not a backup; in the cloud sync, you have a mirror of your files and data. So, when it's modified or deleted from your device, it also will be deleted at the cloud. But some cloud services give you the ability to restore your files.
#10. Learn About Using Wi-Fi Safely
People tend to love using free public Wi-Fi.
When you use it, keep in mind that it's a fertile environment for hackers to steal your sensitive information or even get access to your smartphone/laptop. You can use it for watching some videos or surfing generally on the internet, but avoid entering login conditionals to any of your accounts.
In some other advanced cases, you may surprise that your smartphone is still connected to your home Wi-Fi router even after you go to a far place from your home. Be very aware; it's maybe another fake Wi-Fi network near you that emulates the same name and password as your home Wi-Fi. It's aiming to break through your smartphone. Some people may think they are still connected to the same home Wi-Fi router somehow, but that is impossible for long distances.
Now you should have understood some of the personal Cybersecurity basics. You should take a step ahead to deal with them, and as long as you remain awake and update your security tools and awareness, you are mostly on the safe side.

October is my favorite month. I always seem to come alive in the fall, and this year was no exception (even though this whole year has been an exception). One of the best things to happen in October was that I rekindled my love of reading. Up until October, I'd basically read two books. Such a sad, sad state of affairs. But, Eric ordered Midnight Sun for me and I was saving it to start on October 1st.
I am unapologetically a Twilight fan, and I was so excited to finally get to read Edward's POV. I really enjoyed this book and love Eric for buying it for me. But after the dry spell my reading life had been experiencing, this book was exactly what I needed to spark that interest again.
So, so good. And I just can't tell you how good it felt to want to pick this book up at every opportunity and read.
Still carrying crystals in my pocket everyday too. I select them intuitively, as I feel the need to choose something different. Mid-month I was carrying bloodstone and serpentine. Bloodstone to heighten intuition and increase creativity, and serpentine for freedom from self-imposed limitations and connecting you with your true purpose in life.
Ramses had to spend a bit of time in a fashionable cone, unfortunately. He somehow managed to rip out three of his back claws. He was most unhappy with that cone. Luckily, he healed well and his claws have started to grow back in.
October was also a month of some much-needed focus on self-care. This month, that looked like painting my nails and trying to get more sleep.
OPI's Jade is the New Black is one of my favorite colors ever. And combined with my Bloodstone and Serpentine, clearly I was having a green obsession.
Orly's Fowl Play is what I chose for my Halloween mani. I love those orange flecks in there.
I was having some restless nights, and one night after only two hours of sleep I remembered I had this oil blend. I placed a couple drops on my forearms and that definitely seemed to help. I posted more about this blend over on my Cozylife blog.
October is also Eric's birthday month, so I made him a twist on his favorite cassata cake. Usually I make it with pound cake, but instead I made it with chocolate cake. Basically, I layer the cake with cannoli filling, the frosting is whipped cream frosting, and then I sprinkled mini chocolate chips on top.
It was so good.

Patients and providers send 2 Million secure messages for better health
CALGARY, AB, Aug. 28, 2020 /CNW/ - Healthcare professionals and patients have now exchanged more than 2 Million secure messages using Brightsquid Secure-Mail. This milestone for healthcare in Canada proves the importance of secure messaging in the delivery of care going forward and establishes Secure-Mail as one of the most used privacy compliant messaging services in the country.
Each Secure-Mail message sent replaces a fax, a phone call, a letter mailed, or an in person visit to deliver greater efficiency and effectiveness into the healthcare system.
Secure messaging between providers and patients is shown to improve health outcome measures, increase patient satisfaction, and increase clinic capacity by 11%. Clinics using Brightsquid Secure-Mail have reduced diagnostic wait times by more than 90% and doubled the number of patients they are able to see in a day.
The COVID-19 pandemic drove demand for Secure-Mail in support of virtual care and social distancing. Thousands more clinics join the Brightsquid system, and patient use of the secure messaging service tripled. The Government of Alberta's MyHealth Records service has integrated Secure-Mail to improve remote communications between patients and providers. Recently, large groups of healthcare providers and other regional health authorities have also implemented Brightsquid Secure-Mail to improve patient access to clinics while keeping data private.
Top uses for the service are consultations between providers, sending pre-appointment forms to patients, and patients sending images or videos of their symptoms for assessment. Clinics use secure-Mail to manage and triage patient requests more efficiently than can be done using phone.
"We believe that secure convenient communications will do more to advance healthcare in the next 5 years than any single drug or medical device," explains Rohit Joshi, Brightsquid CEO. "Achieving this milestone on our journey to help improve quality of life for patients and providers is evidence that Secure-Mail plays a vital role in the new reality for healthcare."
About Brightsquid Secure Communications Corp.:
Brightsquid Secure-Mail is a Calgary-based secure email service that connects over 160,000 users across North America. It simplifies communication between patients and their healthcare providers to accelerate care, increase access, and create clinic efficiencies that benefit the entire healthcare system.

A new at-home streaming movie service proposal has turned Hollywood into a battleground, with some of the industry's most influential filmmakers facing off over the future of cinema.
The proposed service, called Screening Room, would include a $150 set-top box that streams brand-new movies in your home (with anti-piracy technology) the same day they're released in theaters, Variety reported. Each movie would cost $50 and be available to watch for 48 hours. Sean Parker—the Napster cofounder and first president of Facebook—is a major investor in the project.
To get movie theaters to embrace the proposal, Screening Room would cut them in on a substantial percentage of the revenue. In addition, customers would get two free movie tickets to a theater of their choice every time they bought a movie through the service. Variety reports that the film distributors would receive a cut of the revenue as well.
Several heavyweight directors have weighed in over the last week. Screening Room's supporters include Steven Spielberg, J.J. Abrams, Peter Jackson, and Ron Howard.
Those against the proposal include James Cameron, producer Jon Landau, and Christopher Nolan.
"Both Jim [Cameron] and I remain committed to the sanctity of the in-theater experience," Landau told Deadline. "For us, from both a creative and financial standpoint, it is essential for movies to be offered exclusively in theaters for their initial release…We don't understand why the industry would want to provide audiences an incentive to skip the best form to experience the art that we work so hard to create."
Nolan, a purist who has fought hard to protect film (over digital) and the theater experience, said in a statement, "It would be hard to express the great importance of exclusive theatrical presentation to our industry more compellingly than Jon Landau and James Cameron did."
These battle lines may ultimately prove to be moot if the theaters refuse to embrace a new model.
Major movie releases are typically shown in theaters for about 90 days before they're allowed to stream on-demand or in other digital formats. The window of exclusivity has long been an inviolable institution for movie theaters—it's the reason some filmmakers have been reluctant to let Netflix distribute their movies, and why many theater chains have boycotted Netflix releases. Amazon recently pledged its commitment to this 90-day rule.
Unsurprisingly, many theater chains are not happy about another attempt to eliminate their period of exclusivity. The Art House Convergence, a group of 600 independent theaters, rejected the proposal, arguing that it would not be able to prevent privacy and would harm the overall profitability of film releases. The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) said in a statement that the theaters will decide for themselves what business models work for them, and that they, together with distributors, should be the ones to develop new release models—not a third-party such as Screening Room (pdf).
Not all theaters are against the idea, though. AMC—which would become the largest chain in the US if its merger with Carmike Cinemas is approved by regulators—is reportedly onboard with Screening Room. And some major movie studios, like Universal, Fox, and Sony, appear to be interested.
Fifty dollars is a lot of money for a single movie, but it makes sense if you pack your living room with as many friends as possible and split the price (and it could be excellent for families with young children).
Whether or not Screening Room becomes a reality, it's clear that the way we watch movies has fundamentally changed. People now want to watch on their own terms—when, where, and how they choose. Theaters have every right to protect their business, but they'll need to find other ways to coax people out of their homes and into the cinema.

I just got Cat scan results, after 3 months on immunotherapy, so here's the latest cancer update.
I'm happy to announce that my tumor has shrunk nearly 50 percent and has not spread to other areas AND I feel like a normal, not sick person now. I've also gained back 20 of the 40 pounds I lost in the first 6 months after diagnosis. ( at 5'9", I was down to 119 pounds and I didn't have any more weight to lose .I was all bones. It was scary.)
It probably doesn't change the long-term (terminal) ending of my cancer, but I have been given the gift of more time, and the bonus gift of feeling-good time.
I have joined the lucky club of being one of the 40 percent of patients to get any sort of response to the drug. Now, if I can only get into the lucky 10 percent of those whose tumors disappear completely, I will be seriously over the moon.
Life with cancer right now is better than I ever hoped it could be, and I am taking full advantage.
I'm talking to the research department at my hospital, trying to determine if it's possible to fund new kidney cancer research, but that's in early phases.
I also miraculously haven't gone bankrupt yet fighting this cancer. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, my insurance HAS to cover cancer care, and my out of pocket has been less than I expected,so yay. In addition to worrying about how my family will survive without me I at least don't have to worry (yet) that I will leave them bankrupt as well.
Thank you for all of your support and encouragement.

FIRE statement on protecting academic freedom and freedom of expression in virtual classrooms
Just as in a physical classroom, faculty should enjoy broad control of the virtual classroom environment. To the extent practicable on the digital platforms employed to facilitate distance learning, faculty must be able to lead discussion without interruption, disruption, or unreasonable distraction from students in attendance or others who may be nearby, and must be granted substantial deference in taking necessary steps to do so.
For example, reasonable steps may include controlling students' microphone access; imposing reasonable, viewpoint-neutral requirements on student use of virtual backgrounds; and asking students to disable their camera. Faculty may also establish viewpoint-neutral rules to minimize distractions, such as requiring students to use only their real (or regularly-used) names as display names. Faculty, or the administrator of the virtual classroom if not the professor, may restrict the ability of unauthorized individuals to access and disrupt class sessions using the platform's security settings, protecting their and their students' right to a disruption-free environment.
Faculty should recognize that students attending classes from their residences or remote locations may have limited control over their immediate physical surroundings, and should take reasonable steps to accommodate students in the manner that best approximates an in-person classroom experience.
Like faculty, students' expressive rights in the virtual classroom should mirror those afforded to them when attending class on campus. Students must be given the opportunity to participate in online learning free from discrimination, harassment, and other undue interference with their educational pursuits. As is always the case, students must not be subjected to discrimination by their professors based on their viewpoint or opinion, which strikes at the core of both the First Amendment and liberal education. (Faculty may always grade students on their command of information relevant to the class, including statements of fact or belief that the student may not share.)
However, as is the case in traditional classrooms, students should recognize that their expressive rights are limited by their professor's right to operate the classroom — online or off — in the manner that they see fit. Students' in-class expression is subject to their professor's academic freedom to keep discussions relevant to the topic at hand and the need to maintain a classroom conducive to learning.
Generally speaking, students do not have the right to repeatedly talk out of turn, interfere with someone else's right to participate in discussion, distract the attention of others, or otherwise disrupt the educational mission of the virtual environment.
University administrators should strive to facilitate online learning in a manner that protects the rights of both faculty and students to the greatest extent possible. Consistent with professors' academic freedom, administrators should give due deference to the right of faculty members to operate the classroom in a manner they determine will best allow them to teach and students to learn. Administrators should be sensitive to the fact that the shift to teaching courses online in such a short time frame requires improvisation, compromise, and trial-and-error.
Administrators should also be sensitive to students' concerns regarding virtual classrooms, and they should strive to ensure that all students are given an equal opportunity to learn and participate. In the event of a conflict or dispute, administrators should seek to balance the interests at hand and arrive at an outcome that protects the rights of all parties while allowing online learning to continue.
The physical absence of campus constituents does not mean their involvement in community affairs should be cut short. Transparency, shared governance, and the involvement of students and faculty in academic and administrative decision-making are no less important to preserving student and faculty rights now than during normal campus operations. When considering a change to university practice or policy that would normally involve the input of faculty or students, administrators should make every effort to facilitate their participation remotely.
If exigent policy changes are necessary, those changes should be considered on a temporary basis and re-examined upon return.

Paul Dimmock's Bio
Paul Dimmock has been involved all his life in the field of education, working primarily as a teacher with young children all his professional life. He is now at a point where he is mostly retired from this job, but he maintains regular contact in a consultancy role with the school at which he has worked for the last thirty-five years.
Over the last twenty years, he has also been engaged in a great number of dialogues with other people who are interested in the teachings of J Krishnamurti. Out of these dialogues, PD have published a number of books now available on the amazon market.
Probably the best introduction to his views on dialogue is to be gained by reading a brief excerpt of an actual dialogue which took place several years ago with another regular participant, when they looked at the question of why we enquire:
I think it's fairly simple. It is to find out who we are. Because we can say who we are from the perspective of the past, from what we have done, from where we have been, from what we have achieved or from what we have lost. Or, without any of that coming into it, who are we?
You are pushing the enquiry to a deeper level. That raises for me the question: why don't we usually spend any time on that deeper enquiry? What is it in us that interferes with that deeper questioning?
Is it because to go deep means to risk drowning? Is that why we resist the deeper?
It could be that going deeper means dying and we just aren't willing to die. Dying needs faith; doubt/fear even as a shadow is not allowed, will prove detrimental.
What is it that fears to drown or to die? Is this fear a living thing? If it is a living thing then there is no problem because it's right for that which is living to avoid danger.
It must be the same thing that dislikes being hurt, which fears to die, doesn't want to die, but wants to continue being in charge of the whole. Yes, all living beings avoid pain and seek pleasure. Fear is a feeling, isn't it? So, it must be living.
I don't know. It's sensible to avoid danger. But where's the danger in going deeper? There is a psychological danger when the psyche is very strong and wants to remain in control. Staying on the surface means the psyche has some degree of control and can feel like it's in charge of a small pond. But the depths are always there.
Or it could be that we don't know how to question rightly. The depths are always there; they don't go anywhere. To ask a question is a difficult thing. And to ask the right question is even more difficult.
'Who are we?' Is this the right question? We could respond to this question from the depths of memory and knowledge, and we could concoct a thousand answers. But if we disregard every particle of our personal and psychological history, there's a very different answer, isn't there?
Yes, K says out of negation the positive arises. This is the right question to ask: who or what am I? What is man? What is self? These questions I think need to be more urgently resolved without any residue.
All right, but are we to take time to resolve them? Or is it possible to resolve the whole thing in one swoop, one action?
I want them sorted out, resolved. That is the only thing; whether it takes time or happens immediately is of no consequence, so long as the problem doesn't recur or the solution doesn't lead to further questions.
Then what's the problem? What's the one central human problem that we must both address?
Lack of love, care, concern, attention – this seems to me to be the central problem that needs to be addressed. And negation of that which is not love appears to be the only way in which this problem can be surmounted.
Could we put it into one word: inattention? Is inattention at the root of it?
Yes, inattention is at the root of this contradiction and conflict in oneself. Choiceless awareness is attention, says K.
But 'choiceless awareness' is only a theory, something borrowed from someone else. First, I am inattentive; and it's my only problem.
Yes, my one problem is that I'm inattentive. The question is how to be attentive.
No, that's a movement away from the fact. So what is the fact? My only concern is to look at the fact of inattention, and not invent a pleasant hypothetical scenario.
Is it possible to be aware of it without naming it? The word 'inattention' is just a quick label, but the actuality behind the word is everything that I am: inattentive, superficial, restless, greedy, vain, selfish et cetera et cetera. Because it may be the acme of inattention to name these things, knowing that the naming produces a cognitive or emotional reaction in the form of an invented opposite towards which I then aspire. The rush to name what I am doing, how I am feeling, this may be the whole essence of my inattention: I am so busy seeking a better future that I neglect entirely to look at the simple present. Therefore I am perpetually caught in time.
The fact is that we alternate between attention and inattention, don't we?
Yes, we probably do alternate between attention and inattention. But the question remains: How are we aware of it? For example, do we differentiate between these two states as though one is a higher state than the other? If so, why? Would we even care about attention if we hadn't heard someone like K talk about it?
How are we aware of it? Is there a 'how'?
Of course there's a 'how'. How did we get home from work? By bus? Train? Car? Walking? In the same way, how are we aware of attention and inattention? In what manner are we aware? Casually? Accidentally? From second-hand sources? From what we remember having happened? Because if I say, 'Oh, yes, I was temporarily inattentive a few moments ago,' is that really awareness?
No, that is thought. There is awareness of that thought. You don't have to do anything to be aware that you took the bus. You don't have to do anything to be aware that you are reading this. If we are too busy thinking about what we think about awareness, there is no space for awareness to simply be.
How is one aware that one is thinking? You and I meet together for the first time or for the one thousandth time. Either way there may be a whole welter of thoughts that interfere with our communion. Are we aware of these thoughts, these images, impressions, doubts, suspicions et cetera? Are we aware of this interference? Or do we take it for granted as part of any human relationship, as a natural consequence of any two separate entities meeting? Or, together, in our relationship to one another as it actually exists at the present moment, do we see the danger of it? If we don't see the danger, why not? What are we missing?
If we disregard every particle of our personal and psychological history, what is left but awareness? This answer has no means of being expressed conceptually. Awareness minus the garbage is simply awareness. It has nothing to say about itself.
All right, let's put it another way and use your word. Are we aware of the garbage as the whole dangerous psychological package? When we look at it, examine it, are we both aware of it in exactly the same way with the same feeling about it? Or are we seeing two different things? That's all. And this is the whole point of our enquiry together. Who are we then when we see the same thing?

Tourist Places To Visit In Thrissur
Thrissur is fittingly proclaimed as the cultural hub of Kerala. Its radiant festivals and vibrant art forms can take you back in time. This city preserves cultures and religious traditions with roots that date back several centuries. These qualities provide tourists with many intriguing places to visit on their tour of Thrissur, like Vadakkunnathan Temple, Chimmony Dam and Wildlife Sanctuary, Shakthan Thampuran Palace etc. Let us look at some of these exciting tourist places.
Vadakkunnathan Temple
Vadakkunnathan Temple is seated atop a hillock in the middle of the city. It is a marvelous symbol of the ancient architectural caliber of Kerala. The temple is surrounded by massive columns on all sides along with a theatre for orchestrating traditional art forms. Vadakkunnathan Temple is devoted to Lord Shiva, housing a colossal Shiva Linga. This provides the faithful with an apt holistic destination.
Our Lady of Dolours Basilica
Our Lady of Dolours marks the birth of Christianity in the state of Kerala. It was the first Christian church to spring up in this cultural center. The church is well-known for its prehistoric Gothic construction. The walls of the church are adorned with scenes from the Bible and effigies of Saints. Famously, the church houses as many as eleven holy altars. The central altar is graced by five other altars on each of its flanks. Devotees throng this church in hope that their petitions be answered by the almighty.
Chimmony Dam and Wildlife Sanctuary
The Chimmony Dam was built completely in 1996. The dam stretches across the width of the Chimoni River. The region is silent and sans crowds most of the time. Tourists can rest and enjoy the delightful view that the dam has to offer. Nestled amidst the impenetrable Chimmony forests lies the Chimmony Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary breeds some unique species of flora and fauna. Adventurers prefer trekking through the tricky forest route to fulfill their thrilling needs. Bamboo rafting is also carried out in the region.
Cheraman Juma Masjid
Another religious feather in the diverse cultural cap of Thrissur is the Cheraman Juma Masjid. This mosque outlines the entrance of Islamic religion into the Indian Subcontinent centuries ago. Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi recently gifted a replica of this mosque to Saudi King Salman, highlighting its commercial as well as religious importance. Cheraman Juma Masjid symbolises Kerala's acceptance of foreign ideas, religions, and people.
Shakthan Thampuran Palace
Located about 2 km away from the Thrissur Railway Station, Shakthan Thampuran Palace forms a historic remnant of the Perumpadappu Swaroopam regime. The palace is a historian's paradise, consisting of a perfect blend of Kerala and Dutch structures. The Shakthan Thampuran Palace also harbors an intricate museum with some engrossing exhibition rooms. These galleries have various ancient bronze and granite statues on display. The main attraction of the museum is the Numismatics exhibition room, which displays ancient coins used by various dynasties over time.
Triprayar Sri Rama Temple
Triprayar Sri Rama Temple is located about 22 km eastward from central part of Thrissur. This structural marvel consists of a circular sanctum with pointed roofs made out of copper. Several sculptures and depictions adorn the walls of the temple, representing occurrences from the Ramayana. Lord Rama is the principal deity of the temple. Religious folklore suggests that the idol of Lord Rama was found by local fishermen in the ocean, which was later inducted into this temple. The brilliant architecture of the Triprayar temple and the peaceful surrounding backwaters provide a perfect setup for tourists.
Archaeological Museum, Thrissur
The Archaeological Museum in Thrissur hosts exceptional artefacts from a forgotten era. Scholars and history enthusiasts will find solace in the company of these interesting specimens of ancient tradition. They get to witness age-old practices such as writings on palm leaves. Prototypes of prehistoric temples and full-size representations of eminent personalities grace the museum. The museum portrays kings and martyrs who exercised their rule over Kerala throughout the centuries, adding to its historic importance.
Seated at the apex of the Vilangan Hills, Vilangankunnu is a spectacular picnic destination for tourists. It provides visitors with a scintillating overview of the beautiful city of Thrissur. Sunset and sunrise are the best times of the day to visit this hillock and be treated to stunning scenery. The hills provide trekkers and adventurers with an exciting climb. Who wouldn't want to visit a venue studded with mangroves, offering a terrific bird's eye view of the entire town.
Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple
Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple is one of the most revered, most ancient temples of India. Located about 26 km from the town of Thrissur, Guruvayur is dedicated to an idol of Lord Shri Krishna that flew itself thousands of miles from Gokul to down south after Shri Krishna's parents passed away. The temple is very well built, with scared artefacts, carvings and fine handiwork in its architecture. The darshan here is open from 3:00 am to 1:30 pm, and then again from 4:30 pm to 9:15 pm.
Athirappilly Waterfalls
Athirappilly Waterfalls is 57 km's drive away from Thrissur and perfect for a small picnic with your loved ones. The waterfall is 330 ft wide and 80 ft high, falling into a heavenly river down below. Athirappilly is the largest in all of Kerala. The Chalakudy River is fed by these falls and continues to flow with all her might. Many even refer to Athirappilly as the Indian Niagara.
Cheppara is a gorgeous viewpoint that doesn't fall on most tourists programs. It is a secluded spot, about 17 km away from Thrissur. The word 'para' from its etymology means a hill, describing it perfectly as it is on top of a small hill. Photographers and wanderers are found scattered here, enjoying and clicking away at the captivating views, sunsets and sunrises.
Chettuva Backwater
When in Thirssur, drive down to Chettuva Backwater, about 30 km away. Of course Kerala is a synonym for backwaters, but Thrissur just takes it a step forward! The Chettuva Backwater extends from Enamakkal Lake all the way to the Arabian Sea, connecting two different natures of water. The mangrove cover, scattered houseboats and migratory birds making nests — that's the kind of beauty you are going to experience here.
Punnathur Kotta
Punnathur Kotta is an elephant sanctuary where nowadays captured elephants are rehabilitated. The sanctuary was commissioned by an erstwhile king of the region for his love for these animals. Today, the place boasts 59 elephants, that are kept happy and trained to participate in festivals. Elephant riders or mahouts are also given special trainings here. You can visit this place at any time of the year, then go explore the Shiva-Bhagwati temple nearby. Punnathur Kotta is around 29 km from Thrissur.
Charpa Falls
Also located on the mighty Chalakudy River, the Charpa Falls along with Vazhachal and Athirappilly Falls make for a coveted tourist destination. You can make a day of circuiting all the waterfalls of the area and make a pitstop at Charpa. Monsoons are the best here, as the milk froth of the flowing water spills out of the banks of the river as rain pounds its surface. It is located 61 km away from Thrissur.
Chavakkad Beach
What is a trip to Kerala without some beach galore? The Chavakkad Beach is best for couples, honeymooners, and those groups who want to set up a picnic by the shore. The sand is glittering golden, the water nice and sparkling. Winter sun is the best kind of sun to sit under here, so make sure to visit on a cooler day. What's unique about this beach is that it is a spot where the river and sea meet. Hence many call it an estuary too.
Paramekkavu Bhagavathy Temple
Visit Paramekkavu Bhagavathy Temple in Thrissur, not only for its stately architecture but also for the festivals celebrated here. The temple of Bhagvathy or Vaishnavi Devi is known for its ancientness (it is a thousand years old). One of the most famous festivals here is Thrissur Pooram, when a parade of 15 gloriously decked elephants walks down to Vadakkumnathan temple.
Thrissur Zoo and State Museum
When in Thrissur with family and kids, do not miss Thrissur Zoo and State Museum. Just a 2 km ride from the centre of Thrissur, this place is perfect for an idle day. Animal gazing, spotting vivid flora and varied fauna, exploring the museum and fooling around at the foodcourts… that's the itinerary for you in a nutshell.
Vazhachal Falls
Pack a basket of finger foods and cool drinks, stow it into your car and drive down to Vazhachal Falls. Located only 5 km from the famous Athirappilly Falls, these flow westerly on the Chalakudy River and have a unique thick milky texture to them. Also, you will find a number of gardens, waterparks and other delightful places nearby to visit. Especially during monsoon. All in all, Vazhachal Falls are 32 km from Thrissur.
Kerala Kalamandalam
Art enthusiasts and those who enjoy discovering new culture while travelling, the Kerala Kalamandalam is a must visit when in Thrissur. It is a university of culture and art, as well as a museum of sorts that displays various artefacts and stories of ancient culture from the region. There is an institution that teaches the young as well as promotes the 3 main art forms of Kerala — Mohiniyattam, Kudiyattam and Kathakali.

Free Learn A Stitch Washcloth ~ My Present To You.
Here is the 3rd Learn A Stitch Washcloth.
This one is called the Mini Shell because the super simple pattern repeat makes these cute little shells throughout.
I also happened upon a cool new edging that is really fun to do. It gives a crab stitch (AKA reverse single crochet) look, but thinner and you don' t have to work backwards.
Check out the pattern and video here.

Merry Christmas to you. Thank you for the patterns for your terrific washcloths. I have been using your patterns and have crocheted many for Christmas presents. My family, friends, and neighbors look forward to my crochet projects for their Christmas gifts. Thanks again. Laurie

Temperatures are getting warmer, and the cattle can not get rid of that winter coat fast enough. Especially down here in Texas. We shear almost all of our cattle in mid-spring for many reasons.
The cows are sheared to get that winter coat off, and keep them cooler in the hot springtime days, and scorching Texas summers.
The show calves are sheared to remove the dead, brown hair, and start over with a brand new coat.
Lastly, any spring and summer born babies are sheared to keep them cooler, and remove the brown coat that many of the black calves are born with. My example in this blog will be the shearing of a young show heifer, but the technique is the same for all cattle.
When beginning to shear, I determine which clipper I am going to use by what my purpose of shearing is. If I am shearing cows for the summer, I typically use sheephead clippers. If I am taking the winter hair off a show heifer, I use my flathead clippers. Regardless of which type of clipper I am using, I clip with the lay of the hair.
Now that I have my clippers picked out, I get the animal in the chute, blow the dirt out thoroughly, and make sure all the hair is dry. This will prevent your blades from dulling too quickly.
Starting at the hind quarter, I make long strokes straight down, all the way to the hock. Do not shear the legs. The hair is left of the legs to give protection from flies, and this hair does not shed like the body hair, so it will give you a little head start to your fall hair growth.
Continue to work forward on the body with long downward strokes until you reach the ears. I do not shear lower than a line from the flank and the bottom of the brisket.
After the body is sheared, then I take the clippers and shave the tail, head, and neck against the grain of the hair. Also shave the hair on the brisket between the front legs.
For show cattle, do not shave the top of the tail head. You want to keep all of this hair you can for grooming in the fall and winter season.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions on any part of this process. It is very simple, but I know it can be a little intimidating for an amateur.

About this Course
About the Course
In this course, Professor Max Saunders (King's College, London) explores E. M. Forster's 1908 novel, A Room With a View. The course begins by thinking about the importance of guides and guidebooks in the novel, focusing in particular on the faulty guidebook that Lucy uses to explore the artwork of Florence. After that, in the second and third modules, we think about the importance of touch in the novel, first in terms of the 'tactile values' of Renaissance art, and then in terms of the 'undeveloped hearts' of Forster's characters. In the fourth module, we turn to the presentation of the physical and metaphysical in the novel – focusing in particular on Lucy's experiences in the Piazza della Signoria in Chapter 4 – before moving on in the fifth and final module to think about the novel's presentation of beauty and love.
About the Lecturer
Max Saunders is Director of the Arts and Humanities Research Institute, Professor of English and Co-Director of the Centre for Life-Writing Research at King's College London, where he teaches modern literature. He studied at the universities of Cambridge and Harvard, and was a Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge. He is the author of Ford Madox Ford: A Dual Life, 2 vols. (Oxford University Press, 1996) and Self Impression: Life-Writing, Autobiografiction, and the Forms of Modern Literature (Oxford University Press 2010); the editor of five volumes of Ford's writing, including an annotated critical edition of the first volume of Ford's Parade's End: Some Do Not . . . (Carcanet, 2010). He has published essays on Life-writing, on Impressionism, and on a number of modern writers. He was awarded a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship from 2008-10 to research the To-Day and To-Morrow book series; and in 2013 an Advanced Grant from the ERC for the Ego-Media 5-year collaborative project on Digital Life Writing.

Prime Minister Viorica Dancila said on Wednesday that in her recent meeting with US Ambassador in Bucharest Hans Klemm she did not discuss the laws of justice with him, but only about "some principles"."There were a few principles, there was no discussion on the laws of justice, so I did not have a discussion with the ambassador on the laws of justice. We discussed a few principles, not regarding the laws of justice," the prime minister said at the PSD headquarters after the meeting of the National Executive Committee.
On the other hand, the prime minister excluded merging the DNA with the DIICOT.
Justice was also discussed at a meeting on Monday of US Ambassador Hans Klemm and Prime Minister Viorica Dancila, according to a reply by the US Embassy in Bucharest to a request for information from AGERPRES on 12 February.
Romanian Prime Minister Viorica Dancila and US Ambassador in Bucharest Hans Klemm on Monday discussed the possibility of lifting the short-stay visa requirements for Romanian citizens travelling to the US in 2018, by including Romania in the Visa Waiver Program.

How It Works
No Re-engineering or Compromises to Structural Floors
On existing wood floor systems the thin profile (7/8") of the engineered base permits positioning on top of joists. Structural floor supports (traditional joists, TGI's, or engineered truss systems) do not have to be cut or altered. On existing concrete floors the thin base requires only that a shallow profile (1.25") be cut into the slab. For new construction on wood floors, the required 7/8" recess can be created by the framer. For new concrete floors, a .5 – .875" depth "stamp" (depending upon thickness of tile backer board to be used) can be made with a plywood template.
Design flexibility: Why would you want a curb?
Curbs in showers are unnecessary impediments and are themselves a primary source of leaks/ water damage. The Zero Curb Shower System permits customized spaces for "wet" bathing areas (like walk-in showers). The engineered base may be easily cut to the dimension required. The system permits wet areas larger than the base, even entire rooms.
Prevents water damage with a quality controlled water-proofing and crack suppression membrane
The "best practices" application for a liquid butyl rubber membrane with a fully covered, embedded crack suppression fabric, insures an unmatched, resilient water proofing membrane that will not be compromised by the expansion/contraction of dissimilar substrate materials.
Mold mitigation
Make the shower easier to clean. By replacing a mortar bed with the engineered platform and then applying the waterproofing membrane on top of the pitched, wet area, the chance of mold/mildew development is greatly reduced. Water that penetrates grout or tile immediately encounters the pitched, water proofed membrane. Carefully engineered weep holes in the drain integrate with the membrane, allowing the shower to fully drain and "dry out".

E.U.I.T. Public Works
The University College for the Technical Engineering of Public Works is the successor to one of the oldest schools in Spain: The School of Public Works technicians, of long tradition and great prestige in its time between the Civil Engineering professionals, was created by Claudio Moyano in 1857.
So as to see it as a special school dedicated to the training of civil servants, it was first accountable to the Ministry of Public Buildings and later the Ministry of Public Works until in 1957 it became accountable to the Ministry of National Education, and known as the School of Ministry of Public Works Technicians.
The School became part of the Polytechnic University of Madrid in 1972 under its current name of The University College for the Technical Engineering of Public Works.

The annual fundraiser for Yukon FFA brought over $11,000 into the coffers the evening of Thursday, November 5.
Yukon student members of both FFA and 4-H were present, along with a packed- out and enthusiastic crowd. The event was at the Express Cattle Sale Barn, 2202 N. 11th Street in Yukon.
Marbi Symes, acting president for the past two years of Yukon Ag Boosters, said the booster club organized the entire event.
"This is one of our annual fundraisers," Symes said. "The other is our rodeo, held the first week of August. But it was canceled this year due to COVID. All funds from our fundraisers go to support our students."
Volunteer Lynda Landrith serves as the 4-H leader. She's held that position for 53 years, and she is also the president of the 4-H Leader's Council, and serves on the 4-H Foundation.
"I am also a substitute teacher for Yukon schools, and I'm a grandma," Landrith said. "My grandson, Nate, is the Yukon 4-H president. We have many students involved in FFA and 4-H who come from families with multi-generations who were part of these groups. And we have at least 10 kids from really old Yukon families with multiple generations who have been part of these agricultural groups.
"This year's event includes a silent auction, and a free steak dinner. We've had the steak dinner for many years. We raised $11,000 in 2019 at this event. Our entire 4-H and FFA membership is here tonight."
Symes said, "All funds we raise go to support the students. We send them to state and national conventions, to speech contests, to leadership conferences, and help buy their animals and equipment they need."
Born and raised in Yukon, Nate Ninman is the president of 4-H. He's a fifth generation member of FFA. His father, his grandmother Lynda Landrith, Lynda's father, and Lynda's grandfather have all been members of FFA.
A Yukon High School sophomore, Ninman said, "I've been in this four to five years. I like what 4-H does for kids my age and older. It give us future opportunities, and we learn public speaking and also how to show our animals in front of the public. I have a steer. I live in a neighborhood, but I keep my steer at the ag barn.
"4-H is a really good program for kids to join, to improve themselves in areas they might not realize, and to be exposed to new things. I'm in both 4-H and FFA. And I compete with my steer through FFA for prizes. I've won multiple awards including Champion Breed, and 1st class ribbons."
A senior at Yukon High School, Liberty Carson serves as FFA president for the second year in a row. Carson and two generations of her family, who were also part of FFA, were at the event. Her dad, Jim Bob Carson, an insurance adjustor with McLarens, was present.
And her grandfather, former Canadian County Commissioner Phil Carson, also attended.
Phil serves with the Canadian County Health Department, the Canadian County Free Fair Board, and is part of numerous other groups. And Phil said, "I'm the honeybee guy at BlueSTEM AgriLearning Center at Fort Reno in El Reno."
A member of FFA for five years, Carson's pigs have won numerous awards, including Exposition of Youth for Oklahoma Grand Champion, Grand Champion at the Canadian County Fair, Reserve Grand Champion at the Southwest District, and Grand Champion at Oklahoma Youth Expo.
Carson said, "When we sell our animals, we get extra reward money for our animals and this fundraiser helps pay for that.
"I love agriculture. It's as simple as that."

How to Make Your Digital Business More Sustainable
Last week, Rebecca Kimber, CEO at Create.net hosted an online Breakfast Session about making your digital business more sustainable.
It's no secret that we are in the midst of a climate crisis. No matter which way we turn, it seems that someone is there to tell us about all the damage being caused; the frustrating thing is, no one seems to be telling us what we can do to reverse it!
Watch the recording to learn more about the steps we can all take now to make our digital businesses more sustainable, and read on for her top tips:
1. Switch to a renewable energy provider
Did you know that the energy you consume accounts for approximately 15% of your carbon footprint? If you can, switch your office energy providers and encourage your team members to make changes at home, especially if they work remotely. You could also consider offering them a financial incentive to do so.
Not sure which provider to use? Check out Big Clean Switch to compare providers
2. Consider company transport
Have you thought about how your employees travel to the office? Think about encouraging greener travel options, with bike schemes and changing facilities for cyclists or runners.
If you're thinking about switching to electric vehicles, remember that they need to be charged from renewable sources, or their footprint is similar to fossil fuels.
How about where your employees travel on holiday? Consider extra holiday days for team members who don't fly to their destination.
3. Review and change suppliers
Start with a list of all your suppliers, then have a look into their policies online for information about what they are doing to be more sustainable. Choose to change suppliers that aren't moving in the right direction where it's easy, or make plans to do so when you can.
4. Offset Your Teams Footprint
Did you know that you can pay a monthly fee per employee to offset their time at work, business travel, and the carbon footprint they may produce outside of work?
Ecologi offer a subscription service, in which they plant trees to offset your carbon footprint. And, you'll get to visit your forest of trees virtually and see them age in real-time.
Visit Create.net's forest - they have over 250,000 trees!
5. Clean Your Digital Footprint
This might surprise you - but anything stored in the cloud can be burning fossil fuels just to be there. Cut down on your digital footprint by:
- Making it company policy to just keep what's needed for future reference.
- Deleting old emails and old files on internal servers (web servers, drop box / icloud / google drive etc).
- Deleting old social profiles and websites you don't use - optimise images shared online.
Consider switching the tools you use to more sustainable ones, such as using Ecosia as a search engine, which plant trees whenever you use them.
6. Move Your Money
Review who you bank with and who manages your company pension schemes. How we save and spend our money (both in our role as consumers and business owners) drives change.
Here are a few more sustainable options:

News & Reviews: Apple iPhone 7 Malaysia
Jul 21, 2016
Apple iPhone 7 series models have been popping out on the internet lately, particularly in China for some reason. Some say there are two models and even three adding an iPhone 7 Pro along aside with the iPhone 7 Plus from our news yesterday, so while we're all waiting for Apple's announcement, there was suddenly a post from Weibo talking about the iPhone 8.
Jul 20, 2016
Apparently, after all the leaks and such online, we are set to receive not one, not two, but three different Apple iPhone 7 models once it is launched sometime this year. We may be getting a standard Apple iPhone 7, a larger Apple iPhone 7 Plus, and the extra special Apple iPhone 7 Pro.
Jul 18, 2016
A video appeared online that shows someone comparing the current Apple iPhone 6s with the upcoming Apple iPhone 7. Right of the bat we can see differences between the two models
Jul 14, 2016
Most of Apple iPhone 7 rumours include a missing 3.5mm headphone jack, missing antenna lines, water resistance body, a new touch sensitive home button, a big camera bump and also dual rear cameras for the iPhone 7 Plus. Those are some "minimal" changes, but there's another one that we haven't talk much which is the battery.
Jul 13, 2016
Yesterday, we reported a suspicious iPhone device held by a Chinese celebrity of what it may be an Apple iPhone 7 because of its missing antenna lines on the back. Now we got another image leak and this time it's the iPhone 7 Plus, due to the dual rear camera and a smart connector which is a first.
Jul 12, 2016
We are only two months away from Apple unveiling their upcoming Apple iPhone 7 series and there have been a "berzillion" rumours circling about what the device could feature. As many of you may know already, rumour has it that the iPhone 7 might actually look similar to the iPhone 6s so there won't be many changes aside especially the speculated missing 3.5mm headphone jack. And believe it or not, we may have just got a glimpse of what it may actually look like.
Jun 30, 2016
The rumours for the upcoming Apple iPhone 7 are like ping-pong tournaments – it goes 'ping' for one rumour, and then 'pong' for another. Well this new rumour seen online makes a good case for the 3.5mm jack removal rumour – new Apple EarPods has been spotted sporting the Lightning connector.
Jun 28, 2016
So, two leaked images were released by an insider from a Chinese supply chain. The images are allegedly the body cover of the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and it seems what makes these two devices differ from each other is the dual rear camera. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
Jun 23, 2016
The headline caught your eyes right? There is a new report online that states while there will be a new update to the Apple iPhone model lineup slated for later this year, the name Apple iPhone 7 will not be used for that model – instead it will be a new name, akin to the Apple iPhone SE.
Jun 22, 2016
By now, you probably have read a 'berzillion' rumours about the Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Things like having the dual rear cameras, taking away the 3.5mm headphone jack, adding dual-SIM slots, a new kind of home-button touch interface, and the endless render concepts of the device. But knowing Wall Street Journal's reputation, you can count on their sources to be legitimate and the credibility of it. So what did WSJ report about the Apple's next flagship?

Warren in the cross-hairs — where she wants to be
Pummeling from plutocrats welcome news for Wall Street nemesis
FIRST HOWARD SCHULTZ called her tax-the-rich plan "ridiculous" in an NPR interview Tuesday morning. Michael Bloomberg piled on later in the day in New Hampshire, saying it would set the country on the road toward the chaos of Venezuela.
For Elizabeth Warren, who famously claimed to have laid the intellectual foundation for the Occupy Wall Street movement, sweeter words could not have been spoken. The Massachusetts senator has made her bones by positioning herself as the watchdog ready to take on the millionaires and billionaires who write all the rules. Having two billionaire would-be competitors for the White House come after her, then, is just the sort of attention Warren wants.
"Billionaires like Howard Schultz & Michael Bloomberg want to keep a rigged system in place that benefits only them and their buddies," she tweeted yesterday. "And they plan to spend gobs of cash to try and buy the Presidency to keep it that way. Not on my watch."
Schultz, the former CEO of Starbucks, is floating the idea of an independent run for president, a prospect that has liberals choking on their lattes: Such a dividing of the anti-Trump vote, goes the reasoning, would be the surest way to ensure Trump's reelection. Bloomberg, a one-time Republican and independent, subscribes to that thinking and says he would only enter the 2020 race running as Democrat.
Herald columnist Michael Graham finds plenty to ridicule in Warren's selective demonizing of the plutocratic crowd by teeing up conservative moguls, a class war that he says always leaves out naming people like John Kerry, Oprah, or impeachment-crazed billionaire Tom Steyer.
Warren has said her proposed 2 percent tax on the wealth of those with $50 million in assets and 3 percent on those with $1 billion or more is aimed at those at the "tippy-top" and would bring in $2.75 trillion over 10 years. In defining those who sit in the farthest reaches of the 1 percent, she borrows directly from the latest progressive sensation, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who told "60 Minutes" her proposal for a 70 percent marginal tax rate would be aimed at the "tippy tops."
No one really thinks Warren's tax proposal or that floated by the freshman New York congresswoman are about to get enacted. Ditto for Ocasio-Cortez's "Green New Deal." But as Shadi Hamid argues in The Atlantic, that's not necessarily the point.
"It is altogether possible that Ocasio-Cortez doesn't think that a 70 percent marginal tax rate is realistic in our lifetime—she might not even think it's the best option from a narrow, technocratic perspective of economic performance—but it doesn't need to be," he writes.
What it is doing, he says, is putting talk of tax rates on the agenda and giving the conversation a left-leaning framework. Warren is attempting to do the same.As hard as it is to read too much into early horse race polls, Warren's world is no doubt taking stock of yesterday's Washington Post-ABC News poll showing her with just 2 percent support among Democratic voters, with five potential rivals ahead of her, and similarly discouraging poll numbers on the leanings of likely Iowa caucus-goers.
The fusillade from Schultz and Bloomberg only elevates her visibility. In a sign of the craziness of jockeying for position in primary field that could see more than a dozen competitors, the attacks are probably the best news she'll get all week.

A leading child abuse campaigner has suggested that the memories of some witnesses in the VIP paedophile inquiry may have become distorted over time.
Peter Saunders, founder of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, said it was important not to 'make something huge' out of the fact that one or two accounts were misleading.
Such a move would be detrimental to child protection and to the current inquiry into abuse, he said.
Mr Saunders voiced his concern ahead of a BBC documentary that calls into question Scotland Yard's investigation into claims of a historical paedophile ring at the heart of the Establishment.
Panorama – the Corporation's flagship investigative programme – will scrutinise the lurid claims of 'Nick', the anonymous witness at the heart of Operation Midland. The programme, to be shown tomorrow night, will examine the validity of Nick's claims that senior Establishment figures were responsible for murdering three boys in the 1970s and 1980s.

About insurance ... everybody knows vehicles are capable of causing enormous amounts of damage. (I was there when the SUV smashed up York Blvd last Friday. I did not witness the accident but rounded the corner within seconds after. Worst scene I ever saw in person).
A small auto accident easily overshoots the cost of a bicycle collision. If a bicycle has ever totalled a car (let alone several) it would be interesting to hear of it.
Given the apparent undertaking required just to crackdown on riding on sidewalks given the shortfall of facilities, it seems difficult to even attempt the logistics of mandatory insurance for such stuff.
Anyway, when you read/watch the evening news, it is not bicycles smearing families all over the pavement, or smashing through store fronts.
Since damages easily and immediately exceed the financial abilities of the person at fault, an insurance infrastructure to facilitate risks of high powered motors was devised.
But yeah, like the other person said, Amsterdamers, Copenhageners and Groningeners don't worry about this stuff. They just live normally. So ignore the retards and do the same :)
