ANHUI PROVINCE, China, May 14 (UPI) -- A diner at a restaurant in Anhui Province, China, who was surprised by her chewy calamari was probably even more surprised by what happened next.
Customer Mai Liang took a closer look at her seafood dish after noticing that it tasted rubbery and discovered a contraceptive. After she alerted staff about the condom in her cuisine, owner Yi Ze Teng came over.
"Imagine my horror when I turned it over with my fork and it turned out to be a contraceptive," Liang told Metro. "It was disgusting. My first horrific thought was: Is it used?"
Condom Found In Calamari Dinner http://t.co/UrCPUPvUTj #Food pic.twitter.com/nJdYmdsJXZ— Mentality Mag (@MentalityMag) May 14, 2014
Ze Teng then allegedly accused Liang of planting the prophylactic to get a free meal and swallowed a portion of the rubber.
"They said if I ate the condom, they would leave the matter, so I swallowed it," Ze Teng said.
Liang may still sue the restaurant.

South Africa, on the continent's southern tip, is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and by the Indian Ocean on the south and east. Its neighbors are Namibia in the northwest, Zimbabwe and Botswana in the north, and Mozambique and Swaziland in the northeast. The kingdom of Lesotho forms an enclave within the southeast part of South Africa, which occupies an area nearly three times that of California.
The southernmost point of Africa is Cape Agulhas, located in the Western Cape Province about 100 mi (161 km) southeast of the Cape of Good Hope.
South Africa is a Republic.
The San people were the first settlers; the Khoikhoi and Bantu-speaking tribes followed. The Dutch East India Company landed the first European settlers on the Cape of Good Hope in 1652, launching a colony that by the end of the 18th century numbered only about 15,000. Known as Boers or Afrikaners, and speaking a Dutch dialect known as Afrikaans, the settlers as early as 1795 tried to establish an independent republic.
After occupying the Cape Colony in that year, Britain took permanent possession in 1815 at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, bringing in 5,000 settlers. Anglicization of government and the freeing of slaves in 1833 drove about 12,000 Afrikaners to make the "great trek" north and east into African tribal territory, where they established the republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
The discovery of diamonds in 1867 and gold nine years later brought an influx of "outlanders" into the republics and spurred Cape Colony prime minister Cecil Rhodes to plot annexation. Rhodes's scheme of sparking an "outlander" rebellion, to which an armed party under Leander Starr Jameson would ride to the rescue, misfired in 1895, forcing Rhodes to resign. What British expansionists called the "inevitable" war with the Boers broke out on Oct. 11, 1899. The defeat of the Boers in 1902 led in 1910 to the Union of South Africa, composed of four provinces, the two former republics, and the old Cape and Natal colonies. Louis Botha, a Boer, became the first prime minister. Organized political activity among Africans started with the establishment of the African National Congress in 1912.
South Africa's Independence is Tarnished by Apartheid
Jan Christiaan Smuts brought the nation into World War II on the Allied side against Nationalist opposition, and South Africa became a charter member of the United Nations in 1945, but he refused to sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Apartheid—racial separation—dominated domestic politics as the Nationalists gained power and imposed greater restrictions on Bantus (black Africans), Asians, and Coloreds (in South Africa the term meant any nonwhite person). Black voters were removed from the voter rolls in 1936. Over the next half-century, the nonwhite population of South Africa was forced out of designated white areas. The Group Areas Acts of 1950 and 1986 forced about 1.5 million Africans to move from cities to rural townships, where they lived in abject poverty under repressive laws.
South Africa declared itself a republic in 1961 and severed its ties with the Commonwealth, which strongly objected to the country's racist policies. The white supremacist National Party, which had first come to power in 1948, would continue its rule for the next three decades.
In 1960, 70 black protesters were killed during a peaceful demonstration in Sharpesville. The African National Congress (ANC), the principal antiapartheid organization, was banned that year, and in 1964 its leader, Nelson Mandela, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Black protests against apartheid grew stronger and more violent. In 1976, an uprising in the black township of Soweto spread to other black townships and left 600 dead. Beginning in the 1960s, international opposition to apartheid intensified. The UN imposed sanctions, and many countries divested their South African holdings.
Apartheid's grip on South Africa began to give way when F. W. de Klerk replaced P. W. Botha as president in 1989. De Klerk removed the ban on the ANC and released its leader, Nelson Mandela, after 27 years of imprisonment. The Inkatha Freedom Party, a black opposition group led by Mangosuthu Buthelezi, which was seen as collaborating with the apartheid system, frequently clashed with the ANC during this period.
Apartheid is Abolished; Mandela Becomes President
In 1991, a multiracial forum led by de Klerk and Mandela, the Convention for a Democratic South Africa (CODESA), began working on a new constitution. In 1993, an interim constitution was passed, which dismantled apartheid and provided for a multiracial democracy with majority rule. The peaceful transition of South Africa from one of the world's most repressive societies into a democracy is one of the 20th century's most remarkable success stories. Mandela and de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
The 1994 election, the country's first multiracial one, resulted in a massive victory for Mandela and his ANC. The new government included six ministers from the National Party and three from the Inkatha Freedom Party. A new national constitution was approved and adopted in May 1996.
In 1997 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, chaired by Desmond Tutu, began hearings regarding human rights violations between 1960 and 1993. The commission promised amnesty to those who confessed their crimes under the apartheid system. In 1998, F. W. de Klerk, P.W. Botha, and leaders of the ANC appeared before the commission, and the nation continued to grapple with its enlightened but often painful and divisive process of national recovery.
Mbeki Takes Over From Mandela
Nelson Mandela, whose term as president cemented his reputation as one of the world's most farsighted and magnanimous statesmen, retired in 1999. On June 2, 1999, Thabo Mbeki, the pragmatic deputy president and leader of the ANC, was elected president in a landslide, having already assumed many of Mandela's governing responsibilities.
In his first term, Mbeki wrestled with a slumping economy and a skyrocketing crime rate. South Africa, the country with the highest number of HIV-positive people in the world (6.5 million in 2005), has been hampered in fighting the epidemic by its president's highly controversial views. Mbeki has denied the link between HIV and AIDS and claimed that the West has exaggerated the epidemic to boost drug profits. The international community as well as most South African leaders, including Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, have condemned Mbeki's stance. In 2006, 60 international scientists called the government's policies "disastrous and pseudo-scientific."
As expected, on April 15, 2004, the African National Congress won South Africa's general election in a landslide, taking about 70% of the vote, and Thabo Mbeki was sworn in for a second term.
In Dec. 2007, African National Committee delegates chose Jacob Zuma as their leader, ousting Mbeki, who had been in control of the party for the last ten years. Zuma was acquitted of rape charges in 2006. In late December, prosecutors reopened corruption charges against Zuma and ordered him to face trial for "various counts of racketeering, money laundering, corruption, and fraud." He was accused of accepting more than $440,000 in bribes in exchange for helping a friend, Schabir Shaik, secure $5 billion in an arms deal and other government contracts. Zuma's lawyers accused Mbeki of trying to sabotage Zuma's political career. A High Court judge dismissed the corruption charges against Zuma in September 2008, saying the government mishandled the prosecution. The judge also criticized President Mbeki for attempting to influence the prosecution of Zuma.
Motlanthe Serves as "Interim" President; Opposition to the ANC Grows
Under pressure from leaders the African National Congress (ANC), Mbeki announced he would step down just days after Zuma was cleared. While party leader's cited Mbeki's alleged interference in the corruption case against Zuma, Mbeki's resignation culminated several years of bitter infighting between Zuma and Mbeki, which led to discord in the ANC. On Sep. 25, Parliament elected Kgalema Motlanthe, a labor leader who was imprisoned during apartheid, as president. Zuma must be a member of Parliament before he can be elected president. Parliamentary elections are expected in early 2009.
On his first day as president, Motlanthe acted to move beyond Mbeki's resistance to using modern and effective methods, such as antirretroviral medicines, to tackle its AIDS crisis by replacing South Africa's health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, who has suggested that garlic, lemon juice, and beetroot could cure AIDS, with Barbara Hogan. "The era of denialism is over," she said. More than 5.7 million South Africans are HIV-positive, the highest number of any country in the world.
In November, about 6,400 dissident members of the ANC held a convention in Johannesburg and decided to form a new party that will challenge the leadership of the ANC. The delegates, many of whom supported former president Mbeki, expressed dissatisfaction with the leadership of the party, calling it corrupt, authoritarian, and "rotting." In December, the new party, the Congress of the People (COPE), selected former defense minister Mosiuoa Lekota as its president.
Zuma Assumes the Presidency
South African's Supreme Court reinstated corruption charges against Zuma in January 2009, saying that a lower court had "overstepped" its authority in dismissing the charges. However, the country's prosecuting authority dropped all charges against Zuma in April, about two weeks before national elections, citing "intolerable abuse" by investigators who were loyal to former president Mbeki.
In April's general election, the ruling party, the African National Congress, won overwhelming support, taking 65.9% of the vote, just shy of a two-thirds majority, which is required to change the constitution. Parliament elected Zuma president in May.
In Dec. 2012, Zuma was again elected leader of the African National Congress, which stands him in good stead for the 2014 presidential elections. Many considered this a significant victory for Jacob Zuma, achieved in spite of criticism for his goverment's handling of the wage protests in Marikana in which 34 people were brutally killed by police.
Mandela Dies
Olympic runner and national hero Oscar Pistorius was arrested in February 2013 and charged with the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. She was found dead in his apartment. Pistorius denied he killed her and was released on bail. His trial began in April 2014. He testified that he shot Steenkamp by mistake, believing she was an intruder in the bathroom. He was found guilty of of culpable homicide, which is similar to manslaughter, in September 2014 and sentenced to five years in jail.
On Dec. 5, 2013, Nelson Mandela died at age 95. He had been in ill health for several months after battling a lung infection. South Africans and people all over the world mourned his death but at the same time celebrated his remarkable life.
ANC Prevails in 2014 Elections; Army Called in to Quell Anti-Immigrant Violence
The ANC took 62.2% of the vote in May 2014 elections, handing Zuma a second term as president. The opposition Democratic Alliance placed second, 22.2%. Despite its landslide victory, the ANC has seen its popularity diminish in recent years due to allegations of corruption, growing income inequality, and disenchantment with Zuma.
South Africa was hit by a spate of attacks on immigrants in March and April 2015. Several people were killed in the violence. Most of the victims were Africans from nearby countries who run small businesses. As South Africa's economy has suffered, anti-immigrant sentiment has increased. The surge in violence followed comments by the Zulu king, Goodwill Zwelithini, who demanded that the immigrants leave and referred to them as "lice" and "ants." The South African troops were deployed to end the violence.
In Feb. 2018, after lengthy challenges from within his party and from outside, Zuma was forced to resign or face a vote of no confidence. The president delivered his resignation on live broadcast, while also remarking that the ANC was making a mistake in targeting him. On Feb. 15, the new president Cyril Ramaphosa (Zuma's Deputy President and a famous opponent of the apartheid regime in the 90's) was sworn into office.

A mother of two is causing quite a stir for admitting the unadmittable -- that she wishes she'd never had her two children and believes that her life would have been much better without them. Woah, lady, this is not something you admit in print -- and use your real name and face -- unless you want to get stoned to death, hopefully just figuratively. But 57-year-old Isabella Dutton is ready to take on her haters. I'm not sure there's any reason to confess in a hugely public forum that you never wanted your two now-grown children, and in fact, still feel that way. But she's also pretty brave, because she's just voicing what lots of other mothers feel.
Isabella says she was never the maternal type, however, she met the love of her life, got married very young, and he wanted four kids. Despite the fact she never wanted even one, she decided to give it a try.
But after first son Stuart was born, she realized her mistake. She says:
I felt no bond. No warm rush of maternal affection. I felt completely detached from this alien being who had encroached upon my settled married life and changed it, irrevocably, for the worse.
She doesn't blame post-partum for these feelings. She says she never wanted kids, and that feeling continued throughout her life. However, she went ahead and had a second child anyway, this time a girl, Jo.
Despite not wanting her kids, she says she grew to love them, and she was always a responsible and involved mother. Well, there was that one time she forgot baby Stuart and the family dog at the store. She only realized they were missing once she got home and looked around for the DOG. She writes: "I believe I was a good mum, but never a doting one." (She got the kid and dog back.)
About now, sanctimommies might be gearing up to inflict all manner of torture on Isabella, but look at what she does rather than what she says. Isabella is such a good mother that her adult daughter, who has multiple sclerosis, lives with her full time and always will.
If you set aside your judgments, you can see that Isabella's essay makes a great point: A good mother doesn't necessarily have to be one who wanted kids with every fiber of her being. In fact, there are plenty of mothers who had intense baby fever but who make lousy mothers. Just because you want something really, really badly doesn't make you good at it. (If only I had a dime for all of the people who told me they really, really wanted to be a writer but who never write anything other than their grocery list -- and even manage to misspell that.)
Says Isabella:
I am a conscientious and caring parent -- yet perhaps I would have resented my children less had I not been.
If you talk to women, really talk to them, you hear a lot of what Isabella is saying. Ask any woman, in private, if she is glad she had kids, and there's often a long hesitation, a disclaimer ("I love them, of course") and out comes and the wishy-washy answer: Life would have been easier ... Sometimes I wish I hadn't ... Well, there's nothing I can do about it now ... I wonder about that all the time ... etc. (I'm always surprised at the amount of women -- and even men -- who complain incessantly about parenthood but then choose to have another baby.)
So Isabella isn't saying anything new. Not every woman has baby fever in her bones. But for eons those women have had kids anyway. And most still manage to do a good job of it. In fact, maybe not being obsessed with her children made Isabella a better mother. She let them be their own individuals instead of trying to make them extensions of herself. She didn't helicopter over them and insist on fighting all their battles. And she and her children are still incredibly close today.
Now if only she'd stop telling them how much she regrets having them. Nothing she can do about it now!
What do you think about what Isabella says?

Race tech: Tour of Flanders
Kinder weather keeps the special machines at home
Stijn Devolder took his second Tour of Flanders win over the weekend. BikeRadar's technical editor James Huang was in
In this article, we lift the lid on the Cervélo TestTeam's new cobble-specific RS, Zipp's new 303 and how one squad is utilising Shimano's Dura-Ace Di2.
Cervélo's new cobble-specific RS
As compared to the veritable minefields of Paris-Roubaix, the Ronde van Vlaanderen's relatively less punishing cobbles saw most of the Cervélo TestTeam riders aboard their standard S2 aero frames – Thor Hushovd was on an S3 – at the start instead of the new cobble-specific machine based on the RS that we recently previewed. In fact, the only rider using it today was Roger Hammond, who may have been partially using the day to iron out any last minute bugs before next weekend's big show.
Some may question the platform switch as Cervélo have enjoyed an enviable record aboard their existing modified R3 framesets (two wins at Paris-Roubaix plus one second place finish) but the stock production RS closely mimics its special geometry as is, including the 1cm-longer chain stays and longer-rake fork for a longer and more stable wheelbase. In addition, the RS's slightly curved seat stays presumably provide an even more compliant ride and the slacker head tube angle lends even more security on slippery cobbles.
Changes from the stock RS appear to be limited to additional tyre clearance courtesy of a raised bridge out back and longer blades on Hammond's modified 3T Funda Pro fork. Unlike the old modified R3s, though, long-reach brake calipers are used at both ends.
Next Sunday's more demanding parcours (Paris-Roubaix) will likely see more of the team using the new frames and we'll hopefully have more detailed information by then.
New Zipp 303 carbon rims take to the cobbles
It looks like this might very well be Zipp's new ultra-durable 303 which is wider and more bulged than before.
Several riders at this year's Ronde van Vlaanderen – from team Cervélo TestTeam, Garmin-Slipstream and Saxo Bank – set off from the start in Brugge aboard a new version of Zipp's versatile 303 carbon tubular rim.
The new rims use a toroidal profile that noticeably bulges in width at the midsection and also appear to abandon the parallel braking surface in favour of the angled ones used on the 1080.
Based on what Zipp have previously said about the 1080, the new 303 shape is presumably more aerodynamic than before. According to Zipp-sponsored 'cross rider Joachim Parbo (Leopard Cycles) – who conveniently happened to be on hand at the start and has been riding them all year – they are also much more resistant to impact damage, though at this point in time it's unclear how.
Interestingly, the new 303 rims we spotted at the start were molded without Zipp's trademark aero-enhancing dimples but it's a safe bet that they'll reappear on production versions.
Carbon rims in general, however, were still the minority with just six of the 25 teams eschewing the standard-issue aluminium box-section tubulars in search of lighter weight and/or extra speed. Team Columbia-Highroad looked to be mostly on deeper-section HED carbon rims while Rabobank and Skil-Shimano were on shallow Shimano carbon hoops.
Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 offers unique advantage on the cobbles
The Di2 levers have a more rounded shape relative to 7900 and the 'tap-and-forget' shift action may have proved useful today.
For whatever reason, fewer teams and riders were seen using electronic drivetrains at this year's Ronde van Vlaanderen and Campagnolo's electronic group was notably absent entirely (though we admittedly may have missed it). Some Skil-Shimano riders though were not only heading to the finish in Meerbeke with the latest Dura-Ace Di2 group – they were also wisely exploiting one of its key advantages.
One of the draws of Di2 for multisport athletes is the option for remote shifters, which would normally be placed out on aero extensions to let riders maintain a tuck. Here however, Skil-Shimano mechanics installed an additional set of rear shift buttons on the bar tops right next to the stem, thus enabling the riders to shift more easily while on the cobbles.
Given the roughness of some of the sections – which we can confirm firsthand after riding the 140km route of the Touriste Ronde on Saturday – and Di2's tap-and-forget shift action, such an advantage likely proved most convenient.

In "Dark Shadows," Tim Burton exhumes the Dan Curtis gothic soap opera of the same name, which ran five days a week from 1966-1971. Not surprisingly, Burton's frequent collaborator Johnny Depp takes over the role of vampire Barnabas Collins. (Jonathan Frid — who played Barnabas in over a thousand episodes of the TV show and who died just a few weeks ago — can be spotted in the film as a guest entering a gala ball.)
Curtis also made two features from the material: Burton's film cleaves fairly closely to the plot of 1970's "House of Dark Shadows," the first of these. In the late 1700s, Barnabas is cursed by witch Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), whose affections he has spurned. After she makes his beloved (Bella Heathcote) jump off a cliff, she turns Barnabas into a vampire, and then has him buried alive.
Two hundred years later, accidentally unearthed, he returns to the family estate, Collinwood, pretending to be a distant cousin. He finds the family business on the verge of going bust, thanks to ruthless local competitor "Angie" — who is, of course, Angelique, also an immortal. He also finds the pathetic remnants of the Collins household: matriarch Elizabeth (Michelle Pfeiffer), her sullen daughter (Chloe Grace Moretz), wastrel Roger (Jonny Lee Miller), his troubled 10-year-old son (Gully McGrath), a drunken live-in psychiatrist (Helena Bonham Carter), and a nanny (Heathcote again) who happens to look exactly like his late fiancee. Barnabas uses his vampiric powers in an attempt to fight Angie and restore the family's fortunes.
The TV show came and went during the only TV-less period of my life, so my sole exposure to the "Dark Shadows" phenomenon was the Top 30 recording of "Quentin's Theme"; for the uninitiated, the success of this snatch of dippy carousel music was beyond understanding. Apparently, the show was played for horror, not for laughs, which may make Burton's film more fun for us still uninitiated types than for longtime fans with an attachment to the original tone.
Indeed, the new "Dark Shadows" is at least 50 percent comedy. Much of the humor is based on anachronism: mostly Barnabas's constant misreading of "modern" — i.e., 1972 — culture and technology. Confronted with the image of the Carpenters on television, he attacks the set, proclaiming, "Reveal yourself, tiny songstress!" When Moretz's cranky adolescent tells him her age, his reaction is "Fifteen and no husband? You must put those fertile child-bearing hips to good use!"
But the jokes also exploit our own displacement in time. From a 21st-century perspective, '70s style makes a particularly easy target for mockery. Modern audiences are likely to be as mystified by — and condescending about — the once-popular plastic troll figurines as Barnabas is.
Given that the vampire myth has been presented in so many different variants in this era of "Twilight" and "True Blood," it's understandable that even Burton and Depp can't bring all that much new to the genre. Depp is almost so perfectly cast that there's not much room for surprise. But, for those not attached to the TV show, there is still enough cleverness to provide an evening's diversion.

A Wall Of Fire
This story appears in the February 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Katherine Gaudette learned the hard way that her company's Web site was vulnerable to an attack by hackers. Founder of Capetown-Rio Inc., a 12-person marketing communications firm located in Redmond, Washington, Gaudette thought she was safe when she implemented a firewall security device (a mix of software and hardware designed to keep out unauthorized Internet users) early last year to protect her company's network from computer hackers. "When we work with customers, we're acting, in essence, as their counselors," says Gaudette, 35. "So we have to make sure what we're doing with them doesn't get shared with anybody else."
But while her firewall held just fine, the ISP hosting her Web site didn't have one. Her Web site was hacked in August--a computer thug entered Capetown-Rio's Web server and deleted key information about some promotional campaigns for major clients.
Safety First
Be afraid--be very afraid--because this could happen to you. In fact, hackers are breaking into Web sites around the world at a frightening pace. Hackers commonly gain access to a company's internal network through holes in its Web server, which is what happened in Capetown-Rio's case.
When hackers break into your Web site, they can copy, edit or delete files. They can vandalize your site by stealing programs and disrupting networks or by crashing sites outright. And once they're on a site, hackers can use phony identities to buy goods and services or they can vandalize a site and change its look, its text and its overall message.
The easiest way to prevent a hacker from entering your Web site is to implement a firewall on your Web server. Firewalls keep unauthorized people out by monitoring the flow of information between a company's Web server and the Internet. The firewall identifies and selectively blocks any unwanted communication. "A properly configured firewall will stop all Internet attacks," says Peter S. Tippett, founder and chief technologist of ISCA.net, a security consulting firm in Reston, Virginia.
Tippett says the problem is most sites don't have properly configured firewalls--the person setting up the firewall may have erected it in the wrong place, for example, or connected it incorrectly. In fact, ICSA.net researched more than 2,000 Web sites last year and found that while all had firewalls, more than 80 percent were still vulnerable to being hacked with the use of easily available tools.
"These companies are worried about their security and seem to be trying to do the right thing," Tippett says, "but they're doing the equivalent of putting an airbag in the backseat of a car when it comes to security precautions."
Before implementing a firewall system, consult with a security expert who can tell you what kind of security solution you need for your business. The person in your company who put up your Web site may know whom to call; otherwise, ask your Web consultant or Web-hosting company for the name of a security expert. The expert will want to know if your site was created in a secure fashion: Did your Web developer use secure protocols and software when building the site? Is the ISP that's hosting your site secure?
Not sure how secure your site is? Try testing it. ICSA.net's Security Snapshot system, available free of charge, allows you to click on to ICSA.net's site, answer questions about your security program and then enter your e-mail address. ICSA.net will run various tests against your company's site and then e-mail you a "Risk Index" score in six categories that include hacking-related risks.
Managed Security: In-House . . . Or Out?
If you don't know anything about Web-site security but prefer to keep your security management system in-house, try a good full-service solution, such as WatchGuard's $4,990 LiveSecurity System.
WatchGuard's system includes fire-wall software and other security features and combines them into an appliance called the WatchGuard Firebox. The appliance has three ports, allowing you to set up your Firebox to secure your Internet connection, LAN connection and e-mail server.
The system also includes the Live-Security Broadcast Service, which informs you of hacker threats, viruses and vulnerabilities in new software versions. It keeps you informed by transmitting new articles and editorials on security content over the Internet directly to a desktop computer.
One low-cost solution is ConSeal PC Firewall from Signal 9 Solutions, a software program which costs anywhere from $50 for a desktop version to $295 for an NT server version. While this system is robust and can carefully guard your computer and Web site, you should be familiar with the program and the necessary computer code if you plan on installing it without a well-versed professional.
If you don't have time to manage your security in-house, you can outsource it to an ISP or a Web-hosting company, many of which offer managed security systems. GTE Internetworking, for example, offers a version of WatchGuard's system called GTE Security Advantage, which costs $795 per month, plus a one-time setup fee of $995.
Other ISPs and Web-hosting companies offering similar security systems are PSINet and Verio Inc.. Another option is using services from a new crop of vendors called managed security suppliers, such as LURHQ Corp., which works with Fortune 1000 companies, and Internet Security Systems Inc..
Safe And Secure?
Unfortunately, no matter what type of system you choose to implement, as a small-business owner, you'll probably be more at risk for security problems than larger companies.
"Small businesses are probably at greater risk because they don't have an in-house staff monitoring the security of their system, and entropy sets in," says William C. Boni, leader of PricewaterhouseCoopers' Information Protection Practice and co-author of I-Way Robbery: Crime on the Internet (Butterworth-Heinemann). "If you don't maintain a consistent degree of readiness, [Internet security measures] actually become ineffective over a period of time."
While getting involved in the world of e-commerce is almost a necessity these days, remember the security risk is great--and it's only going to intensify in the future. Luckily, firewall costs are now coming down, according to Tippett, and ISPs are improving their security setups. So there's help on the horizon.

Warning: Strong sexual situations in graphic detail. For those who are not devoted yaoi lovers and intense pervs, proceed with caution.
[b]Note: In the previous installment of Death the Kid X Crona I had already written the love scene in a different context with a very different dialogue. I had forgotten about the previous one and after I had successfully completed this part's scene I realized my mistake. However, I myself prefer this love scene a great deal more. You are free to read it to your heart's desire and interpret whichever version you like as the real one....

"Liight!" Sayu called to her older brother
"A friends says they're here to see you!" Quickly Light rushed down the stairs to greet the person who claimed to be his friend but was put to slight ease when he saw Ryuzaki standing outside
"May I come in?" Asked Ryuzaki politely. Light nodded then turned to his mum
"Could you make Ryuzaki and I some tea?" Light's mother nodded and walked off to the kitchen. Light was about to go upstairs but then noticed Sayu staring at Ryuzaki's...
Sing to me songs of the darkness…
Farewell to heaven, my friend.
Come to me, bury your sorrow…
Temptation await the condemned.
Crona woke with a gasp. He had had a certain song stuck in his head for a week, now, and he didn't know what to do. Somehow it suited him, though. A lot of depressing songs did. The demon swordsman looked up out of the little window in his room at the DWMA. Light shone down into his room, but missed Crona altogether, making him feel dreary.
Not really sure how to feel about it
somethin' in the way you move
makes me feel like I can't live without you
it takes me all the way,
I want you to stay…
Ciel hugged his knees on the corner of his bed. His moon lit room seemed to glow with cold, lonely light as he looked up at the silvery moon. Ciel gave a long sigh. He had been waking in the middle of the night often now, and he couldn't shake the bitter feeling of loneliness from his mind. Ciel felt the corner of his eyes...

It was finally Friday, and everybody had plans, well almost everybody. Amy, Cream, and Rouge were all heading to the mall, Silver and Blaze were aabout to go on a date. And Tails and Knuckles were out doing Gawd knows what.

Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney
Maka grabbed the key to the handcuffs off of the floor and scooted over closer to Kid and Crona. "I think you're on good enough terms to be let go…"
Crona blushed and looked away from everyone else. Ragunarok smacked his meister on the head repeatedly while yelling at him,...
Crona walked out of the DWMA and headed towards Maka's house. She had invited him over to stay the night, but she had told him to go ahead on his own to the house because she had something to speak to the professor about. He let himself inside and nearly tripped over a bag that was laying in the entryway.
"Whoops! Sorry Crona!"
Crona looked up at Black Star who was standing over him. He gazed around the room and saw that all his friends were there; everyone except for Maka.
When Kid noticed that Crona had arrived he began to feel nervous again. "I didn't know he was...
Finally the continuation of Death the Kid X Crona...
Crona's knees shook and his face was burning red as he stared at Kid. He clutched the blanket all the way up to his chin so Kid could see nothing more of his bare body. Kid dropped the clothes he had brought for Crona in his state of shock. He stood there for no more than a few seconds before quickly pulled back out of the room and slamming the door shut. He leaned back against the door and rubbed his face with his hand. [i]What do I do?! What do I do?! Should I go back in there and apologize? No, no, no, I can't do that! I...
"Stein, stop! Get off!" Spirit pushed at his chest. Stein pressed down on him and kept kissing him. His hands slid down Spirit's body and tugged at his underwear, wanting him completely bare. "Ah! No!"
Stein put one hand over Spirit's mouth. "What did I tell you? Our neighbors will hear you if you don't keep your voice down." He removed his hand and moved back down Spirit's body. Stein relieved his lover of his undergarments and his tongue slid over the newly bare skin.
Spirit gasped softly as he felt Stein's warm tongue on his cold skin. Pleasured moans...

text: My mini blinds in my hallway broke the other weekend! And, like any typical boat related breakage, there's no easy fix because it is 1 of 4 total matching blinds in the hallway, so if 1 is replaced, it's going to stick out like a sore thumb. I tried to fix the blinds myself to no avail. Next, I searched for a professional to fix them; again no success. In typical expensive fashion, I succumbed to the inevitable and bought 4 new sets of blinds. Never a dull moment! :D


text: Monsanto Eyes 50-Bushel Bump October 2, 2013 06:33 AM Tweet A better mastery of weather data will help Monsanto turn farmer data into actionable insights, say company officials. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email Farmers are accustomed to making incremental yield gains from year to year. But company officials at Monsanto say its newest acquisition, The Climate Corporation, could use "data science" to drive an eventual 30-50 bu. yield boost in many customer fields as farmers begin to capture and use multiple layers of information to make the better-informed decisions. "Farmers around the world already gather a tremendous amount of information," says Kerry Preete, Monsanto executive vice president of global strategy. "They're gathering more data all the time. They're making about 40 decisions or so on every field every year, so data management is vital to farm function." Preete says that aggregating small improvements in each of those 40 decisions is how Monsanto expects to deliver those big yield gains. Climate Corp brings three major competencies to the table, says company CEO David Friedberg – hyper-local weather monitoring, weather simulation and unique agronomic modeling. This expertise will be used to optimize Monsanto's FieldScripts product, which uses its own wealth of data to deliver hybrid matches and a variable rate planting prescription to customers. Ted Crosbie, Monsanto's Integrated Farming Systems lead, says FieldScripts was developed assuming the field would receive average rainfall and heat accumulation. However, current climate trends indicate more volatile weather is the new norm. "Clearly, that's not the way to optimize FieldScripts, but that's the best we could do," Crosbie says. "That's one of the reasons we're so excited to partner with Climate Corp." Monsanto hopes to create weather-adjusted FieldScripts, Crosbie says. Customers will use regular scripts in 2014 but can expect something more comprehensive in 2015. Pricing for this service will remain the same in 2014 and based on the expected value it will bring farmers in 2015 and beyond. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of Monsanto's 2014 fiscal year. Following the acquisition, The Climate Corporation will operate its business to retain its distinct brand identity and customer experience. The company's headquarters will remain in Silicon Valley, and all of its employees will be offered continued employment. Back to news
