So, there was a random article I read today that detailed a list of ways to make some side money while working a full-time job. Out of curiosity, and figuring knowing more ways to pay the bills wouldn't be bad, I skimmed the list.
One of the bullet points was, more or less, "Write romance novels and self publish them for lots of cash."
… What?
Is that seriously all it takes to be a writer? Apparently I've been writing in the wrong genre all these years. And self publishing is easy too, right? Just click a button, throw the book out in the world, and money will sprout wings and fly to me, right?
I don't know whether to laugh or be offended at the casual "advice." Self publishing takes so much dedication, not only to polish your book to its brightest shine, but to also market yourself and the story. Most self publishing platforms, as far as I've seen, take money out of your pocket as well.
And, ya know, writing is a lot of hard work, too. Romance is not my genre and if I tried to write it in a get-rich-quick scheme, my writing would be bland. The passion that I have for my fantasy novels would not transition well into a genre that I dislike writing. Readers are astute, they'll pick up on those feelings in a heartbeat.
Kudos to anyone who is able to go down that road, to build up their own market, to craft amazing romance novels, to self publish their tales for the world. You're amazing, and never let anyone tell you otherwise.
But kudos also to the rest of us who aren't able to simply dash off a novel as quickly as this list is suggesting. Kudos to all of us writers who are persevering through day jobs and social obligations and rejections from publishing houses.
Writing isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a lifestyle.


text: Check out my latest article for Russia! magazine. Why? Because this is one of those times when I got to go back to the roots of what this site was originally supposed to be about- dispelling myths about Russia. A lot of those myths are born when people hear the chatter of expats who might be blind to the privileges they have living in Russia, which in some cases might not be exclusive to Russia in the first place. And let's face it- why should pampered college students be the only ones allowed to call people out on their "privilege?" I want in too!

thanksgiving break recap
thanksgiving break went better than expected. I'm feeling engaged with new ideas of home. I got to observe the scripts, strengths, and dysfunctions of several immediate families in Omaha, including my own. I found it extremely educational and inspiring to listen to my parents, grandparents, siblings, and cousins talk to one another with my project in mind. It was often cringe-worthy, but usually entertaining too. I'm trying to process my distanced relationship with home in writing. I'll post it on here as soon as I feel happy with what I have to say about it. It felt like the things that distracted me from getting work done over break were actually chalk full of meaningful content for the show. The trip sparked my interest in food for the show. I enjoyed thinking about my family's relationship to food. Call Your Mom members were asked to write on a prompt about politics, family, and food over the break.
The most complex food related thing that happened, happened when my parent's cleaning lady, Olga, came over to our house. She brought her daughter Pamela and some tradition flan for us to take to our family's thanksgiving. We decided not to bring it in the end, to avoid those tough political conversations. That might have been a huge mistake on our part. Pamela is a senior in high school. She was recently granted acceptance at the University of Nebraska, but she doesn't know if she will be able to attend because 1. she is an illegal immigrant (though she has been living in the US for 16 years, speaks perfect english, and could easily pass any test given to her) 2. she doesn't qualify for scholarship. Pamela is so intelligent and driven. She sat with us for two hours translating our nonsense for her mom and chuckling as we attempted broken, poorly conjugated Spanish. She attends a magnet school and has received multiple 5's on AP tests. She is clearly qualified, if not overqualified, for a next step in her education. I'm not sure I've ever met a senior in high school more ready for college. It disgusts me that our country makes it so difficult for someone as smart her to move forward. My mom contacted her immigration lawyer friend. We researched to find scholarships that are open to dreamers. We made plans to have a party with both of our families in December. Olga and Pamela are going to make enchiladas. Our family will make latkes (for Hanukkah) or some other traditional Jewish dish. I think it will be a nice collective step forward, to think outside our comfort zones. I hope we can do something with/for them that will make this scary time a little nicer.

Milestone for oil prices as Wall St ends a choppy dayCrude oil prices whipsawed first moving higher as Brent oil prices broke through 80-per barrel and then moving lower only to rebound into the close. Crude prices have received broad support from voluntary supply cuts led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ) aimed at tightening the market.
The Home Depot (HD) Gains Outperform Rating from Analysts at Wells FargoNomura Asset Management Company Ltd decreased its stake in Home Depot Inc (HD) by 6.4% based on its latest 2017Q4 regulatory filing with the SEC.

Trump says he wants the Commerce Department to lift ZTE's export banUnited States commentators say the tone of the tweet is a dramatic shift for Mr Trump, who has consistently accused China of stealing U.S. jobs. It's surprising to see this action confirmed by the President, and such concern over Chinese jobs given that the US Department of Commerce is ostensibly protecting US interests in enforcing its technology export sanctions.
Walmart to open 50 new stores in IndiaThis brings an end to the era of Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal in Flipkart. Although many sellers that TechCircle spoke to are excited about the global market opportunities and sourcing afforded by the Walmart deal, some are equally wary of the United States retailer's global strategy to rebrand and sell white-label products, and to aggressively supply its own private labels.

If you've ever been to Thailand, you know the saying, "same, same but different," referring to similar things with differences between them.
"Same, same but different" is pretty much what life feels like right now.
I'm in a startup community (same, same) in another country (different).
I'm helping entrepreneurs (same, same), while trying to be one (different, very different).
I'm playing soccer (same, same), on pavement (different).
I'm eating lunch (same, same) as the biggest meal of the day (different).
I'm working Monday to Friday (same, same), often into the night (different).
So, "same, same, but different". I would also add to that, "good".
Weekly Summary
Wow, has it been a month already? It's just as everyone said: six months seems like a long time but it will go by fast.
Pete and I are pretty focused on the next internal demo day which is happening December 3rd and 4th. He is indeed writing code, I've started doing customer interviews and we are both keeping up with regular exercise. Actually, Pete might be winning in this department. He ran a half marathon on Saturday.
We both got our first RVA points. RVA stands for "return value agenda" which is what Startup Chile calls our participation in the startup community. Points is how they track what we've done. As a team, we need to amass 4,000 points by the end of six months.
Events are worth different point amounts depending on how much work is involved. Attending a networking event is worth 50 points, while putting on a workshop is worth 350 points. It seems to be a pretty fair way to keep track of activities.
Last week Pete gave a talk to a university class about Startup Chile, and I attended a pitch day for a university's engineering class. These were both done in English but one of the challenges we are finding is that many events are in Spanish. This makes it hard to quickly get the low-down what the startup community here is like compared to Toronto. We want to provide something useful that fulfils a real need for the community. We are both making efforts to learn Spanish but it will take a bit of time.
Weekly Summary
High of the week: Customer interviews are fun!
Low of the week: Sprained my ankle again for the third time after my original injury in August. Oh, sports, after 30.
Lesson learned: There is something to be learned from every pitch you see.
There are probably very few people here that have seen more pitches than me. I suffered from "pitch fatigue" well before arrival. As keen as I was to learn what everyone else was working on, seeing about 50 pitches from my fellow entrepreneurs was quite tiring. So although I was curious, I definitely had some reservations about going to see student pitches.
But the winner actually did something I had never seen before: he used an animated, automated pitch which he had evidently rehearsed many times. He spoke in perfect time to the automated pitch; it was really well done. His project, Diza, is a platform for the customization of shoes, such as color and heel height. Given the amount of work this team put into the pitch, I think they will go far.
Interesting thing: Robot thing on a bridge, on my way to work. I don't know why he was there, but he looked cool.

Commentary by Mitch Santell
Rihanna is jumping on board the Reggae Music bandwagon. This is what I found today and needed to share this right away. First Katy Perry, then Sting and now Rihanna.
Rihanna is working on her follow-up to 2016's ANTI, and although there's not that much information about #R9 out there right now, she recently revealed one of its influences in a cover story with Vogue: reggae.
Written by Scott Brown
Welcome aboard the only global reggae mix blog that provides you with a front row seat to what is happening in the world of Reggae.
My name is Scott Brown and I am a guy who has been obsessed, addicted, attached and in love with Reggae for the past 15+ years.
More than any form of music, I humbly think that Reggae is very unique. I've watched the music business shift from being run by real music people to accountants and idiots who have no clue as to how this genre started and has become a global phenomena.
If you want to get a sense of how excited I get when I hear great live reggae, check out this track from Rebelution that I recored live while sitting next to Errol Brown at the mixing board on an iPhone 5.

Fallback Channels
Adversaries may use fallback or alternate communication channels if the primary channel is compromised or inaccessible in order to maintain reliable command and control and to avoid data transfer thresholds.
|Network Intrusion Prevention
|Network intrusion detection and prevention systems that use network signatures to identify traffic for specific adversary malware can be used to mitigate activity at the network level. Signatures are often for unique indicators within protocols and may be based on the specific protocol used by a particular adversary or tool, and will likely be different across various malware families and versions. Adversaries will likely change tool C2 signatures over time or construct protocols in such a way as to avoid detection by common defensive tools.[21]
BISCUIT malware contains a secondary fallback command and control server that is contacted after the primary command and control server.[1][2]
BlackEnergy has the capability to communicate over a backup channel via plus.google.com.[3]
|Cardinal RAT
Cardinal RAT can communicate over multiple C2 host and port combinations.[4]
CHOPSTICK can switch to a new C2 channel if the current one is broken.[5]
Derusbi uses a backup communication method with an HTTP beacon.[6]
DustySky has two hard-coded domains for C2 servers; if the first does not respond, it will try the second.[7]
HOPLIGHT has multiple C2 channels in place in case one fails. [8]
JHUHUGIT tests if it can reach its C2 server by first attempting a direct connection, and if it fails, obtaining proxy settings and sending the connection through a proxy, and finally injecting code into a running browser if the proxy method fails.[9]
Kwampirs uses a large list of C2 servers that it cycles through until a successful connection is established.[11]
|Lazarus Group
Lazarus Group malware SierraAlfa sends data to one of the hard-coded C2 servers chosen at random, and if the transmission fails, chooses a new C2 server to attempt the transmission again.[12][13]
Linfo creates a backdoor through which remote attackers can change C2 servers.[14]
MiniDuke uses Google Search to identify C2 servers if its primary C2 method via Twitter is not working.[15]
Mis-Type first attempts to use a Base64-encoded network protocol over a raw TCP socket for C2, and if that method fails, falls back to a secondary HTTP-based protocol to communicate to an alternate C2 server.[16]
NETEAGLE will attempt to detect if the infected host is configured to a proxy. If so, NETEAGLE will send beacons via an HTTP POST request; otherwise it will send beacons via UDP/6000.[17]
OilRig malware ISMAgent falls back to its DNS tunneling mechanism if it is unable to reach the C2 server over HTTP.[18]
QUADAGENT uses multiple protocols (HTTPS, HTTP, DNS) for its C2 server as fallback channels if communication with one is unsuccessful.[19]
S-Type primarily uses port 80 for C2, but falls back to ports 443 or 8080 if initial communication fails.[16]
WinMM is usually configured with primary and backup domains for C2 communications.[20]
The C2 server used by XTunnel provides a port number to the victim to use as a fallback in case the connection closes on the currently used port.[5]
Analyze network data for uncommon data flows (e.g., a client sending significantly more data than it receives from a server). Processes utilizing the network that do not normally have network communication or have never been seen before are suspicious. Analyze packet contents to detect communications that do not follow the expected protocol behavior for the port that is being used. [21]

Malkin's new line paying dividends for Penguins
While all eyes are on Phil Kessel and how the offseason acquisition meshes with captain Sidney Crosby, another grouping has the Pittsburgh Penguins feeling pretty good about themselves as well.
Evgeni Malkin and linemates Patric Hornqvist and Sergei Plotnikov revealed a bit of their personalities by donning taped glasses to honor the Hanson Brothers of "Slap Shot" fame prior to the team's preseason tilt versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. When the puck dropped, however, it was all business as the line combined for two goals and four assists in the Penguins' 4-2 victory on Tuesday.
"You guys saw it, Malkin and Plotnikov and Hornqvist were a very good line," Pittsburgh coach Mike Johnston told the team's website. "I don't want to break up good chemistry just to try and see if anything else works. If I like what I'm seeing, then we'll probably stick with it."
Malkin collected 28 goals in 2014-15 and is just three seasons removed from his 50-tally performance. The former Hart Trophy winner showed remarkable chemistry in his first campaign while paired with Hornqvist, who had no issue skating into the dirty areas to convert Malkin's passes.
Hornqvist scored 25 goals and set up 26 others in his first season with Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old Swede's 51 points were two shy of the career high he recorded with the Nashville Predators in 2013-14.
Added into the mix is Plotnikov, who has played six seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League. The 25-year-old Russian, who collected 44 goals and 101 points in the last three campaigns with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv, uses a physical style that meshes well with his new linemates.

Observations at Twin Falls
One of the strangest things to me about photographs is how small they seem. Standing on that bridge, a sharp wind blowing bits of spray onto my cheeks, the evergreens crowding my nostrils, the mating calls of song birds persistently ringing above the thundering of the waterfall, I felt so tiny. The trees canopied over my head, and I could see so far from my little wooden perch, the entire river laid out like an eternity below me.
I faced off with a humming bird, but as we were of equal size, we were an equal match. For ten long minutes we sized each other up, I bound to the ground, standing in the midst of the most beautiful swarm of golden gnats, the humming bird high in a tree, sitting frozen one second, buzzing threateningly the next, red breast flickering flames in the sunlight.
I saw my first trillium of the season, no small event for my year. I keep noticing trilliums in my dreams. As I'm hiking through brittle snow, I look down and dozens of bright white petals are springing up around my feet, I look closer and see that the snow is just a thin layer of ice and I am actually walking above the treetops of some underground world. I realize if I stomp and crack that ice, the trilliums and I will fall through in one brilliant tumble of blooms like a bird shot in flight.
I sat quietly before three totem trees. Gnarled and twisting, eyes raised like the saints, each seemed to hold a thousand faces. Ferns sprouted twenty feet up in every which direction, the unruly hair of the elderly. I tried to listen, but my young ears could not be silent long enough to hear their song, so instead I bowed and promised to return with a more patient spirit.

Home and business owners rely on their electrical service to keep lights, appliances, computers and entertainment devices operating properly. However, many homes and businesses need electrical upgrades to protect not only the property, but also the lives of families or clients. Properties constructed just a few years ago have wiring that was not designed to meet the complex needs of today's home and business owners. Working with a professional electrician now may save more than just money.
Generally, new computers, televisions or appliances are purchased, brought home and plugged into the nearest outlet. Years ago, that was acceptable, as homes and businesses used lights and a few simple devices. Today, all of that has changed. We no longer have simple televisions. We have home theaters with surround sound, satellite receivers and Blueray DVD players. Home offices are equipped with expensive computers, printers and other equipment. Those devices are sensitive and demand a steady current supply. Older systems simply can't meet those demands, with the result being a threat to the equipment.
Electrician Carmel specialists evaluate situations every day where older wiring has been responsible for the failure of computers and other expensive equipment. Generally, too much is expected of an older system designed when lighting and a couple of kitchen appliances were the average load for an electrical service. Many older 100 amp panels are still in use, with only a handful of circuits supplying power for a home filled with electronics. Even older services up to 200 amps may not have sufficient circuits to protect computers or entertainment centers.
As load demands increase, wiring cannot deliver an even power supply when appliances or other technology is energized. New homes are now commonly wired with circuits that isolate computers and other expensive electronics, but no one anticipated the needs of modern families or business owners in the past.
Electrician contractors in Carmel like Burtner Electric (BurtnerElectric.com) work with home and business owners to update older electrical service panels to better protect not only the equipment, but also people from the threats of overworked, obsolete services. By carefully planning updates, qualified electricians balance the loads throughout a home or business to ensure the supply is even and safe. Circuits can be installed to properly protect all expensive electronic devices. Top electrical contractors are the best friend a person can have to provide protection from potential electrical problems.

Having left Oxford and gone to the US, academic Andrea Ashworth found herself overwhelmed by the past. She tells Harriet Swain how writing a chilling account of her violent childhood helped lay the ghosts to rest
Andrea Ashworth has enormous eyes. Spend time in her company and you know there is plenty going on behind them.
Read a few pages of her first book Once in a House on Fire and you realise they have seen a lot too - the green and purple bruises around her mother's eyes; her first stepfather sliding his fingers under her blankets as she pretended to sleep or holding a carving knife to her mother's cheek while smashed plates lay against the tiles; her second stepfather trying to wave goodbye wearing a pair of handcuffs and later, after his prison term for theft, with a big marble ashtray raised in his fist; her mother on tranquillisers threatening to end it all.
Those huge, dark, almond eyes sucked it all in from the age of five, when her father was found drowned, until she left to start life as an Oxford undergraduate 13 years later. Then - after studying for a year at Yale, a stint in Boston on an academic journal, a bohemian spell in New York's SoHo district as the eyes and hands of an 80-year-old artist and now a junior research fellowship at Jesus College, Oxford - she wrote it all down.
The result is a chilling account of a poor childhood in Manchester, slashed by domestic violence. It is written through the eyes of a child in a series of vivid pictures. She describes wandering through Manchester's Indian district with her mad grandmother "stopping at Indian sweet shops and jewellery stores and delicatessens where flies buzzed around splits in rotting fruit too strange to buy". She tells of hot days in Canada where her family emigrated for a while, trying to stem her mother's migraines by drawing the curtains, which were "a dull red-orange, like a rotten sunset" and, back in Manchester, of truanting from school and huddling from the rain under "the burnt-out bandstand or in the huge concrete drains that tunnelled under the grass". When planning the book she began jotting down memories on index cards. "It would be a smell or an expression on someone's face," she says. "I was hoarding the memories, afraid that if I didn't scribble them down they would desert me. That was cathartic. I felt I held them in a box like jewellery."
Writing was not easy. The book was conceived when she went to the United States after Oxford and found herself suffering from vertigo every time she looked back on her life and tried to work out how she had got there. "Part of me is programmed to wake up and feel fear and worry about what mood people are going to be in and what happened in the night," she says. She tried writing short stories, but her past seemed to get in the way: writing a memoir was more than an idea, she says, it was a need. She set down the first two chapters in two weeks in Boston. A version was printed in Granta and a publishing deal followed fast. Back in Oxford, she finished her doctoral viva one week and started the book the next. The next two months were, she says, "two of the scariest of my life, including the life I was trying to describe. When I was growing up, I had the adrenalin to push me through. But this time there was a great premium on my writing because I had made sacrifices to do it. It was painful."
Sitting, surrounded by people and plastic shopping bags, sipping a caffe latte in a crowded Oxford cafe bar, she discusses the horrors of her life with a disconcerting openness and zest. Dark and fine-featured in a black leather jacket and knee-length boots, she talks as she writes - fluently, in a series of vivid phrases and with a kind of wonder at being alive. At school, her dark skin prompted some children to call her "Paki". But mostly, she was known as "Smiler" because she always seemed so cheerful. Forced to keep her head down at home, she snatched at the merest hint of support from outside and, always outgoing, made friends easily.
Many of her worst experiences were hidden. The first time the infant Andrea realises there is something strange about her world is when a girl at school asks why her mum wears sunglasses all the time. Both stepfathers disliked strangers "knowing their business" and most people, from neighbours to policemen, looked away. Andrea's book forces readers to open their eyes. She does not think of it as being crusading, but she is pleased when people say they are touched by it and is thrilled when teachers use her as an example for children who are going through a tough time. "I would love this story to reach people, especially young people in the situation I was in," she says. "I had no model for this story. I was studying African American women's writing and that wasn't a model, and Virginia Woolf certainly wasn't. I felt in need of a tradition to write in."
Her mother, who comes across in the book as deeply flawed, gave her nothing but encouragement, Andrea says. The chapters in Granta came as a shock because she apparently had not known about the time Andrea's first stepfather knocked her out or about his sinister sexual threats. But she insisted that her daughter write the book in her own way. Now living with a new, non-violent partner in the south of England, she has "retired from the melodrama", Andrea says. "My mother's attitude is that she made huge mistakes that had dire repercussions. She isn't squeamish about those things being depicted."
Neither of her stepfathers is still on the scene, but she is nervous about their reactions to the book should they come across it. "I don't want to be stalked or sorted out, and they both have habits of doing that kind of thing," she says. Her middle sister, Laurie, was at first very shy of being written about. But, Andrea says, she began carrying the first two chapters with her "like a baby - it was her testimony, too". Their younger stepsister, Sarah, found the book funny. This is not as strange as it sounds. "I wrote it in a buoyant spirit with what I hope is a lot of humour and something that would convey the elasticity of children," Andrea says.
Her sisters have proved to be survivors, too. Having studied languages at Cambridge, Laurie is now in Africa with her fiance and dancing with a number of modern dance troupes. Sarah, who apparently went spectacularly off the rails as a teenager, works in London as a cardiac technician and has a three-year-old daughter. "We all have amazing energy and enthusiasm," Andrea says. "The miracle of surviving fills us. Our mother had strict standards, even if she didn't stick to them. We were brought up to be proper." This was furthered by an extended family of aunties and grannies. Andrea learned early that books were a means of escape, mentally and physically: doing well at school was a way out. "I have a very deep sense of gratitude for having survived," she says.
Despite the trials of her childhood, Andrea still trusts people, but she is wary of circumstances that go well. However, she does not resent people for whom things have always gone well. As an undergraduate she had friends who felt guilty because of their privileged backgrounds and did not want to accept money from their parents. Andrea found that hard to understand: she knew that her mum would have given her money if she had had it. "Children ought to be privileged," she says.
Nor did she find Oxford as a place to study strange. "I had come from minus thousands, so it was always going to be different," she says. She came to it thirsty for books, having read only a handful of works of literature, mainly her A-level set books. In her house, the only book had been a battered dictionary used for crosswords, although her mother had taught her to read at the age of three from Ladybird books. "When I came to Oxford it was abracadabra, " she says. "It was another world. The peace of it was amazing."
She has been in Oxford for nearly seven years, first as a junior dean at Hertford, then as junior research fellow at Lincoln, Woolfson and now Jesus. In her present academic work, she looks at women and modernism, concentrating on configurations of self. She is comparing Jean Rees, the subject of her doctoral thesis, with Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf and their reactions to modernism and the metropolis. She is most interested in how women invent themselves through make-up and stories. Her tutor at Hertford, Julia Briggs, was struck by Andrea's choice to write about Rees, an outsider who was treated badly by the men in her life. Briggs suggests there is a theme in English literature of writing providing women with a lifeline.
Andrea has already started on her second book. Drawing on her experiences in the US, it will examine the relationship between an 80-year-old blind artist and an 18-year-old girl. "It is the greatest luxury just to be able to make it all up," says Andrea. "Before I was tethered to the truth. Now I'm no longer tethered, at least not to that kind of truth."
Even so, she admits that Laurie and Sarah have a point when they accuse her of toning down their family story. "I left out a lot of things," she says. "I was mostly thinking of my mum, but it was also artistic discretion. A narrative cannot stick that much grisly stuff. Domestic abuse is repetitive, and that doesn't make for a good tale." Thanking me profusely for coming, she puts down her caffe latte and prepares to get back to her timbered study in the centre of Oxford, where the photographer is waiting - one of a long line since her book was published. "My sisters say the book is too tame, that it beautifies what happened. But that's what stories do."

Witnesses to the Gospel,
And true to our charism
As instruments of transformation,
we, Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary,
are called to consciously live our interdependence
in new and dynamic ways.
against the earth and among people,
we seek to intensify our efforts:
As women of contemplation in action, we encourage and mentor those who wish to share our ministry and charism.
These are the ways the 32nd General Chapter in 2006

How to remove MaxiCrypt virus and restore encrypted files
That item is about MaxiCrypt virus that gets into customers' PC around the world, and corrupts the files. Here we've assembled important info on what is MaxiCrypt, and the removal of MaxiCrypt from your computer. In addition, we'll explain how to get back the cyphered information, if possible.
For any sorts of ransomware, one thing is true: it is much easier to prevent it than to neutralize its consequences. For encrypting viruses it's most important, because, unlike common undesired programs, after deleting ransomware from the computer, the fruits of its actions will stay. To defend your information, you must understand a few basic principles:
- Heed to the pop-ups. One of the easiest manners of file recovery is the recovery through Shadow Copies, so Web-criminals have included the elimination of those copies in the basic functionality of ransomware. However deletion of copies needs admin rights and confirmation from the operator. The moment of thinking before accepting the changes can save your information and your money.
- Carefully study your e-mails, particularly the messages that have files attached to them. If you don't know the user who send the letter and it tells about receiving any prize, a lost parcel or something like that, this might be a scam message. You also should be attentive with business correspondence, especially if the sender and the content is unknown. Invoices for services and products, appeals, lawsuits, summaries and suchlike specific files cannot come without warning, and you, as a minimum, should know the person who sent it. Otherwise, it is a scam.
- Don't disregard the signs that your computer displays. It needs a lot of hardware power to encrypt the data. When the malware is starting to work, the PC slows down, and the encryption process is visible in Process Manager. You may catch this event and switch off the workstation before files will be completely encrypted. Naturally, some files will be corrupted, but you will secure the rest of them.
You should know that removing ransomware is only the first and compulsory turn for the standard work of the laptop. To get back the files you should read the tips in the special paragraph of our article. To get rid of the ransomware, you have to launch the PC at safe mode and run the scanning with antivirus. We don't suggest you to eliminate MaxiCrypt in manual mode, because it has different defensive mechanics which can counteract you. Many encrypting viruses are able to easily erase encrypted data, or part of it, if somebody attempts to eliminate the program. This is extremely unwanted, and the below paragraph will help you to avoid it.
Removal instruction
Step 1. Boot into Safe mode
Start -> Msconfig.exe
On the tab Boot select Safe boot
Step 2. Check Startup folder
Start -> Msconfig.exe ->Disable unknown programs in the Startup tab
Step 3. Check hosts file
Modify hosts file, that located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ .
Open the file with Notepad and delete suspicious strings.
It has to look like this:
Step 4. Scan the system with antiviral scanner
Special Offer
Why we recommend SpyHunter antimalware
Detects most kind of threats: malicious files and even registry keys of malware will be found
Protects your system in the future
24/7 free support team
SpyHunter's scanner is only for malware detection. If program detects infected elements on the computer, you will need to purchase malware removal tool for $39,99 to delete threats. SpyHunter has Free Trial for one remediation and removal, subject to a 48-hour waiting period. Uninstall steps and additional information EULA , Privacy Policy and Threat Assessment Criteria.
Step 5. Disable Safe mode
Start -> Msconfig.exe ->Disable Safe boot in the Boot tab
After eliminating the virus from the PC, user has to get back the corrupted information. Actually, this is not about decipherment, because the encryption methods used by scammers are very complex. More often than not, to recover the information, you should ask for help on targeted forums or from celebrated ransomware researchers and antiviral program vendors. If you're very interested in the by-hand data recovery - take a look at our item, which describes all the safest manners.
To restore information, follow the article about files decryption.

Parkinson's disease and how it changed my massage style
I graduated massage school in December of 2012. As an enthusiastic student with a nearly 4.0 GPA, I was always eager to learn every new technique and work with every variety of client.
The school I attended in Arizona, Cortiva Institute, had a program called "Population Spectrum" in which experienced massage students could practice advanced-level techniques with specific members of the general population. Some of the clients were battling cancer, or multiple sclerosis. I was assigned a lovely elderly person who had severe head forward posture and Parkinson's. They could barely look up, their head was so bent down. They were in their 80's, practiced massage for over 20 years, and truly stole my heart with the compassion I felt for them.
The course allowed multiple treatments with each client, to allow us to see progress over time. I attempted nearly every technique I could think of to treat this client. I thought the head forward posture was all I could effect. Parkinson's disease is in the brain, right? How can I massage that?
Off to work I set, practicing my intercostal massage work, carefully working my large fingers between their tiny ribs, working around the collarbone, trying to loosen the subscapularis muscle with MET (muscle energy techniques). It's not easy to dig into an armpit to reach the muscle on the inside of the shoulder blade, but I had more work to do than that.
We tried some work on the longus colli, a muscle on the inside of the cervical spine. This requires moving the esophagus gently out of the way to get behind it to the muscles that were locking the client's chin into their chest.
I even learned more about releasing trigger points on my client's sternocleidomastoid. Not everyone in massage has learned anterior neck techniques, so I am very glad I had the ability to learn what I did.
On my second session with this client, I began to realize that the tremor naturally associated with the Parkinson's disease would subside when I was performing the gentle effleurage strokes to warm up the tissues I was about to work. As I worked nearer to the client's painful areas or a trigger point, the tremor would return.
For someone with Parkinson's disease, it was a welcome relief to not be shaking for even a little while. Tremor is exhausting. This was such a pivotal moment for how I treated my clients. I learned to watch for cues. The change in breathing, the smallest twitch of a finger or a wiggle of a toe were sometimes the only clue I had regarding a client's pain level. I always tell my clients I can feel your problems but not your pain levels, so please let me know if you want less pressure.
Fast forward to my early career, where clients wanting deep tissue really just wanted painful pressure because they believed that was the only way to get a therapeutic effect. Finally one client prompted me to research neuromuscular techniques and I shifted my approach. I went back to that moment in school, with the client with the stooped head, and I began to work with the body instead of against it.
My style has evolved over all of these years, the techniques I've learned have grown, but those foundational moments in school truly shaped me as a therapist. I'm forever grateful for that client, their tremor, and their feedback after all of the bodywork sessions were done.
After the three sessions, my client reported back to me that I was the first student who had performed intercostal work, despite that being the training module we had just learned, I was the first to attempt longus colli work, and I had created the most amount of change in my client's head and posture. I will never forget them, their pain was my teacher.
If you're ever in Las Vegas, feel free to look me up, I'm glad to treat people with the gift of massage, it has changed my life for the better.

Letters to the Editor
Tikker letter: Hillary Clinton
Lately liberals have been making excuses for Hillary Clinton. Destroyed emails, lied about classified emails. Lied to the families of the Benghazi victims — that takes one morally bankrupt person.
She created that catastrophe by ignoring pleas from Lt. Col. Andrew Woods, then to make matters worse she got rid of the American soldiers, then replaces them with a Muslim group (Libyan Brigade) and the Blue Mountain Group whose weapons were flashlights and batons. Not one shot fired to defend our people.
The Clintons' co-opting of the FBI goes back to Bill's term. Nine hundred files on Republicans and others. When you lie, that's intentional — Comey caved.
Twenty years ago I bought a tape on the Vince Foster death. It's called "Vince Foster: What Really Happened." It was put out by Citizens for Honest Government. Every one of the investigators called it a homicide. Clinton's Watergate attorney Robert Fiske was put in charge and did an absolutely pathetic job for justice.

Great Kingshill U14 had the privilege of starting their Bucks Div 1 season by playing at the beautiful Shardeloes ground.....the home of Amersham CC.
Captain Ben Hobbs inserted Amersham having won the toss. It was soon clear that we would be up against some very strong batting in this top division this year with the openers racing away to 35 after 4 overs. This was mainly due to extras, with our opening bowlers, Ben and Owen Collins, generally bowling accurately. Teddy Payne, Karthik and Nina then bowled tidy overs to pull the scoring rate back a bit and each picked up a wicket, between them bowling 8 overs, 3 wickets for 41 runs in the middle of the Amersham innings. The remaining bowlers all did a steady job, with Owen, James Ketley and Will Yeates all picking up a wicket each and Jack Prior bowling 2 overs of leg spin. I should also comment on the excellent outfielding from Will Junnola-Schofield and some good stops by Lasen on a difficult surface to keep wicket on (keeping low). Despite our best efforts, Amersham got to a very strong score of 151 for 6 at the end of their 20 overs. However, within that, we gave away 46 extras, which is clearly something we need to work on in training.
Unfortunately, our opening batsman, Jack Wetherell, bruised his fingers in the field so was unable to bowl and also only batted way down the order when it came to our innings.
It is fair to say that we found the bowling a step up in Div 1 from what we experienced last year in Div 2. Despite that, the batsmen generally showed that they could survive against accurate bowling, with Owen, Ben and Teddy in particular ready to take the attack to the opposition and score some good runs. I should highlight the innings of Ben , who made a fine 28. We finished on 77 for 8 after the 20 overs, after a few strong blows from Jack Wetherell at the end.
So we lost by 74 runs .... but when you consider that we gave away 46 extras.... the game could have been a lot closer.
So a good introduction to the tougher standards in Div 1 against strong opposition. I think we can be competitive if we tighten up our bowling and fielding and give ourselves a less challenging target to chase.

Gifts For Saint Bernard Owners
The ancestors of the Saint Bernard are the herding dogs of Swiss and Italian farmers like the Great Swiss Mountain Dog, as well as hunting dogs, rescue dogs and watchdogs. Their history has also been connected with the hospice at the Great St. Bernard Pass. First reports of the Saint Bernard Dog presence at the pass, date to the 17th century, and they remained loyal companions to the monks there. The most famous Saint Bernard to save people at the pass was Barry (sometimes spelled Berry), who reportedly saved somewhere between 40 and 100 lives. There is a monument to Barry in the Cimetiere des Chiens, and his body was preserved in the Natural History Museum in Berne. The classic Saint Bernard looked very different from the St. Bernard of today, because an avalanche killed off many of the dogs used for breeding. To further the breed, they crossed the remaining dogs with other dogs, but in the process lost much of their use as rescue dogs. The Saint Bernard is among the heaviest and largest dog breeds in the world. We have a lovely range of Gifts For Saint Bernard Owners available including Saint Bernard Cushions, Saint Bernard Throws and Saint Bernard Wall Hangings.

County residents are being asked to keep an eye out for unexpected visitors.
Summer bears are on the move and in search of food during late spring and early summer.
So far, there has been a sighting of a bear in eastern Prince William County, according to a release.
The Prince William County Police Department's (PWCPD) Animal Control Bureau has released a few tips that can help community members address hungry bears.
The department suggests that citizens remove any potential food sources, including bird feeders, beehives, garbage and outdoor grills.
Trash should not be stored in vehicles, on porches or on decks.
Electric fencing can also be installed around gardens and dumpsters to discourage bears.
If a bear, they should be given space and should not be fed, and bear cubs should not be removed or "rescued."
Community members who are experiencing a bear problem after taking the proper steps should notify the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) regional office.

Mutual Film Corp. v. Industrial Commission of Ohio
|Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio
|Argued January 6–7, 1915
Decided February 23, 1915
|Full case name
|Mutual Film Corporation, Appellant v. Industrial Commission of Ohio, et al.
|236 U.S. 230 (more)
35 S. Ct. 387; 59 L. Ed. 552; 1915 U.S. LEXIS 1755
|The free speech protection of the Ohio Constitution did not extend to motion pictures.
|Court membership
|Case opinion
|McKenna, joined by unanimous
Overruled by
|Joseph Burstyn, Inc v. Wilson (1952)
Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio, 236 U.S. 230 (1915), was a United States Supreme Court case in 1915, in which the Court ruled by a 9-0 vote that the free speech protection of the Ohio Constitution, which was substantially similar to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, did not extend to motion pictures.
The state government of Ohio had passed a statute in 1913 forming a board of censors which had the duty of reviewing and approving all films intended to be exhibited in the state. The board charged a fee for the approval service. The board could order the arrest of anyone showing an unapproved film in the state.
The Court stated:
... the exhibition of moving pictures is a business, pure and simple, originated and conducted for profit ... not to be regarded, nor intended to be regarded by the Ohio Constitution, we think, as part of the press of the country, or as organs of public opinion.
The Court described movies in some technical detail and noted their popularity but wrote that as "they may be used for evil, ... We cannot regard [the censorship of movies] as beyond the power of government." The Court added that it would be equally unreasonable to grant free speech protection to the theater or the circus and noted that in many prior cases regarding government licensure of theatrical performances, the issue of freedom of opinion had not been raised.
The plaintiff was Mutual Film Corporation, a movie distributor. Mutual had also argued that in addition to the violation of its freedom of speech, the censorship board was interfering with interstate commerce in violation of the Dormant Commerce Clause and that the government had illegally delegated legislative authority to a censor board. Those arguments were dismissed by the Court more perfunctorily.
The decision that motion pictures did not merit First Amendment protection drove an increase in regulation of movie content, which culminated in the enforcement in July 1934 of the Production Code over all Hollywood films. The Production Code, also known as the Hays Code was not law, but an agreement between studios and theaters to self-censor, partly to avoid the patchwork of local censorship laws that existed around the country. In May 1952, the Supreme Court overturned its Mutual decision in Joseph Burstyn, Inc v. Wilson, popularly known as the "Miracle Decision" since it referred to the short film The Miracle, part of the anthology film L'Amore (1948), directed by Roberto Rossellini.
The Production Code was loosened in the 1950s and 1960s and was eventually abandoned, in favor of the MPAA film rating system in 1968.

Capital Investments and Stock Returns

There are 2 versions of this paper
Capital Investments and Stock Returns
Capital Investments and Stock Returns
Date Written: April 2001
Firms that spend the most on capital investments relative to their sales or total assets, subsequently achieve negative benchmark-adjusted returns. We consider two hypotheses to explain these returns. The first explanation, that firms artificially increase cash flows to fund investment expenditures, suggests that the negative relation between returns and investment expenditures should be strongest for the most financially constrained firms. The second explanation, that firms that invest a lot tend to be over-investing, suggests that the negative relation between returns and investment expenditures should be strongest for firms with the most financial slack. The evidence tends to support the second explanation. That is, the negative capital investment/return relation is stronger for firms with higher cash flows and lower debt ratios and reverses in the period when firms of this type were subject to hostile takeovers.

Tips for finding a DJ
Brandon Lindsey in the Owner of Hey! Mr. DJ Event & Lighting Group in Cincinnati Ohio. He has been a wedding DJ for more than 17 years. He is a regular speaker at national DJ conferences. Brandon also is produces "The Grooms Workshop" here in Cincinnati. I have worked with Brandon at many receptions. He is a true professional DJ, and a great personality. You will love having him at your wedding reception.
I'm honored that Dan has asked me to write an article giving brides and grooms my best tips for finding a wedding DJ.
If there is one thing I would want brides to know when hiring a DJ is my website address!
Here are some 8 tips for brides on hiring a wedding DJ.
Understand what you are really hiring. Many couples rightfully assume that they are simply hiring someone to play music at their wedding for a few hours. In the wedding business the DJ is way more than the music. You are hiring someone to be on a live microphone in front of all of your friends and family. You are hiring a sound system that can enhance your event or ruin it. You are hiring someone to help manage the flow of your event and keep things moving. You are hiring ideas to personalize, customize and make your day unique and fun. Many times your DJ is even your lighting person as well.
Find out if they have worked at your location. If they have not, are they willing to do a sight visit with you before the big day? It's usually a good idea for the DJ to know the lay of the land and to scout out the location first. It's also an indication as to how much experience they might have. DJ's should know the venue and the layout of the reception in order to help you plan an event with a good focal point for your events and good quality sound for all the guests.
Ask about their professional training. What have they done in the last couple of years to continue to perfect their craft. This is a good indication of who is serious about their job and who is simply a self-trained weekend warrior.
Find out if they will be the actual DJ who will be at your event. If not find out if you will get to meet with and plan with the person who will be at your wedding. This is important because you want to make sure they are someone you like. Someone you are willing to have on a microphone on the biggest day of your life. You will be nervous on the day of your wedding. Having that person you planned with meet you at the reception with a big smile will put you at ease rather than having a stranger greet you at the door and you continue to worry that they received the proper information about your day.
I recommend asking about their mixing ability. Weddings are a place where people are not always comfortable dancing. A DJ who has the ability to seamlessly mix music from one song to the other will have more success keeping your dance floor full than someone who simply lets a song end and stars a new one. While song selection is the real key to a great dance floor the ability to beat match songs will let your guests dance right into the next song.
Find out if this DJ has a backup plan. It's dinner time at your wedding and the music goes off. It's a power surge that ruined the DJs equipment. Will you eventually have music or will you be stuck with nothing. Do they have a backup plan in case they are sick, in an accident or otherwise unable to make your wedding? This is a very important question and a good DJ should have a clear and thought out plan.
Don't start any conversation with a potential DJ with "How much do you charge?". Once you ask this question you are simply assuming all DJs are the same. One DJ may help turn your reception into the greatest reception your friends and family have ever attended while another may give you the most cookie cutter night of your life. First find out what value they offer your event.
Finally understand that the DJ is likely the best bargain you will find at your reception. The Knot says weddings in the Cincinnati area on average cost about $25,000. Even the most expensive DJ in Cincinnati will likely be less than 10% of that budget. Yet he will be responsible for 4-6 hours of your wedding day. The job he does will likely be a huge percentage of your guests experience. People say a great DJ can make or break your wedding. This is not the place to bargain shop.
Hopefully these tips will help you in selecting the perfect DJ for you and someone that will work with you as a partner in making your reception amazing and memorable!
Thanks, Brandon.
