Angry Quote: "So when I tell you to stop talking... that means stop whistling and stop acting like an idiot!"
Is His Anger Justified?
The teacher says, "You're in grade 10, act like you're in grade 10," which is pretty bad advice since that's exactly what these kids are doing. It seems like the teacher is legitimately disappointed with his class' behavior, but shouldn't he be used to this by now? No offense doctor, but you don't look like you just started teaching last week. Learn to be more authoritative and maybe these kids will respect you.
What do we mean by more authoritative? Well, for instance, when you notice you're being recorded, take away the phone and erase the clip. Don't wave "hello" like a 12-year-old kid walking through the background of a local news standup. Now over 100,000 people, including every student you will ever teach for the rest of your life, has seen you act like a total pussy just because you got stage fright when someone pointed a camera at you.
Mr. Hand's Angrometer:

I've gone through a lot of water bottles since the 1980s, when I first started cycling. Back then, water bottles were pretty much all the same, for years and years. A really small top connected to the bottle with a piece of plastic, which made it hard to clean the bottle and hard to add any ice to the bottle if you liked to keep things cool in hot weather.
One of the more recent advances in water bottles was when Camelbak came out with their first traditional water bottle (as opposed to hydration packs). Named the Camelbak Podium, it was a bottle with an extremely wide mouth, and a terrific valve that you could twist to keep completely shut (and leak free). The valve was also very soft and easy on your teeth.
That first generation of Podium bottles was perfect except for two fatal flaws, in my opinion. The first flaw was that the plastic was too slippery, so it was very easy to drop the bottle out of your hand. And the second fatal flaw was that the flow rate was much too slow. The plastic was quite hard, so you'd really have to squeeze it to get much water out of it at all. I think this is also part of the reason it was so slippery. I think they have probably resolved those issues with subsequent generations of that bottle, but I wasn't willing to spend the money to try them again. I will say that their lid and valve design is world class!
I picked up my first redesigned Specialized water bottle a couple of years ago, at Bicycle Sport Shop in Austin. It was a 26 ounce Purist water bottle, which was the best water bottle I had ever used at that point in time. I bought five or six of them over the next year.
The plastic was a good thickness so that you could get plenty of water. It was also a good type of plastic that wasn't too hard to squeeze, and would easily stay in your hand without getting too slippery. And it had a new type of lid and valve called the Watergate, with the self sealing "Heart Valve." Those two terms are a bunch of marketing speak, but they do describe a truly better design. You can keep the valve of the water bottle open and turn the bottle upside down, but water would not leak out until you actually squeezed the bottle.
If the way the valve worked wasn't awesome enough, they also made it so that a generous stream of water came out when you did squeeze it. This was a terrific bottle, and I didn't think that you could really make anything better than the Purist.
But I was wrong.
Because a year or so after I discovered the Purist and was using it exclusively, I spotted a DIFFERENT Specialized water bottle at the bike shop. It was slightly smaller than the Purist. It had the same amazing lid and valve. But when you picked it up, it felt rubbery and soft and awesome in my hand. It was even grippier than the Purist, and it could squirt water out even faster with the softer material.
This new bottle, of course, is the Specialized Purist HydroFlo 23, which holds 23 ounces of liquid instead of 26 ounces. Although I'd love to have 3 more ounces of liquid, I am willing to settle for less to use this terrific bottle.
An unusual feature about this bottle is that it isn't round. It is a three sided bottle, sort of like a rounded off triangle. You don't really notice that it isn't round, except that the rounded corners fit really well in your hand, giving you a superior grip.
The reason that Specialized calls these bottles "Purist" is because they supposedly have some kind of coating or plastic design or something that keeps them from getting that disgusting "funky water bottle" taste that you sometimes get with older water bottles.
I've found that they clean out pretty well. When I use them with Hammer Nutrition HEED or Perpetuem, I typically just rinse them out with cold or hot water as soon as I am finished with my ride, and then leave them upside down to drip dry before my ride the next day. If I fill them up with water the next day instead, they are typically taste free unless I did a bad job of rinsing them out.
Every few weeks I'll run them through the dishwasher, just to make sure they get a real cleaning every once in a while.
I'm going to quote some of the stuff that Specialized says about the bottle.
FLEX: Thanks to ultra flexible walls, Hydroflo delivers a tidal wave of water. The secret is our next generation resin, engineered to be durable, super flexible and ultra clear. A fine-tuned design provides increased leak resistance and ensures the bottle stays in your cage, even on the toughest roads
SAFE: Hydroflo is 100-percent recyclable, FDA approved, BPA free and indpendently tested and approved by SGS.
FIT: Hydroflo's unique, three-sided shape fits perfectly in your hand for a solid, controlled grip. The design reduces the chance you will drop your bottles through a perfect ergo hold.
PURE: To deliver a pure water taste, Hydroflo is infused with Purist. Using technology inspired by nature's lotus leaf, Purist shields the bottle from odor, staining and mold buildup, so all you taste is pure water every time.
I want to make it clear that I paid full retail price at a bike shop for all of my Specialized water bottles. I am not writing this because someone asked me to, or because someone gave me free bottles in exchange for a review. I genuinely love the Purist HydroFlo 23!
You should go buy a couple right now, and then leave a comment on the blog after you have tried them for yourself. My guess is that you'll be thanking me in the comments.


text: Behind the scenes March 7, 2015March 8, 2015 ~ terrajessi ~ 1 Comment It had already been predestined that on my 30th birthday (the eve of my party), I would spend 5 hours sitting in a chair, getting my hair braided, occasionally, switching bum cheeks to thaw the numbness. Although I would have preferred to watch something mind-numbing on E4, I would end up being "bullied" by my equally bored hairdresser to switch the channel to BET or the Nollywood movie channel. All these things were certain for me… and in fact, for some of the guests attending my party the next day. I had however afforded myself a small degree of control by asking Bintu, my hairdresser to do my hair at my house. It had been years since I had had my hair braided at any hairdresser's house. I had been burnt too many times to count. Everything would start reasonably well. However, as soon as it felt like we were nearing the half way mark, she would ask to be excused for 5 minutes while she made a "quick" meal for a small collection of irritable and mildly restless children. Half an hour later, she would return, closely trailed by perhaps one of the aforementioned restless children. Said child would linger around demanding the attention of his mother, my hairdresser. Eventually, he would find his way into my handbag and in one swift move, expertly retrieve the chocolate bar I had packed as a snack. The mother would lazily tell her cheeky little monkey not to touch auntie's bag. The twinkle in his eye would tell me that he was in the habit of finding similar delights in handbags belonging to other "aunties". Like me, the other aunties would eventually surrender the tasty treat in exchange for a little peace and quiet. On this particular "trip to the hairdresser", I had decided to use my time in the chair to do all the last minute preparations for my party. I made lists, called guests and was having a rather efficient time. However, Bintu was in a particularly chatty mood… well, more than usual. She was having another crisis in her life and wanted to explain all the details to me… I passively listened to her tell about some trouble with her husband back home as though I was listening to a radio show, catching enough details to sigh and gasp at the right moments. After pausing for the appropriate amount of time, my mind would wander back to the party. "Do I have enough food?" "I must remember to text Kuda" I thought, as I added to my growing list. I tuned back in to hear her voice rise further still, now bordering on hysterical. Hers was a pain that had been slowly stewed and garnished with a generous dose of resentment. "Well, that's not very good", I added, not quite sure if that had been the most relevant response to whatever she had just said. This carried on for a few minutes. However, like white noise demands attention, so her anguish had become so loud, I could no longer hear myself think. I tensed up. "Bintu, can I pray for you?", I finally asked. The noise stopped. For the first time in about half an hour, she was quiet. "Yes please", she answered in a small voice. I invited her to sit next to me and held her hands. "Dear Heavenly Father…" Over the next 10 mins, I prayed the best prayer I knew, asking God to give her His peace, which surpasses all understanding. I felt her pain in my own heart, which caused me to weep with her. When I finished, my Muslim hairdresser and I said Amen and opened our eyes, both moist and teary. She looked at me and smiled weakly "thank you," she said. I smiled back. The peace settled with us for the rest of the afternoon while we chatted about life, birthdays, God and men. 5 hours later, I emerged looking like a cup full of super hot stuff. I dropped Bintu off in town and went to give her her £50 payment. "Make it £45", she said smiling. "It's my birthday present to you". I smiled, touched by her sweet gesture. "Thank you Bintu". That's the thing about black hairdressing – we all wish we could peel off our hair, drop it off and pick it up later when it's all done and pretty. In our rush, it's easy to miss some of society's most beautiful moments of sisterhood, with the incredible humans who make our hair happen. "We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond." Gwendolyn Brooks

5 July 2019: Do female entrepreneurs really need to be part of women's networking groups? The short answer, YES! We have all heard the argument that networking events are ineffective and are more talk-shops than workshops – but a recent Facebook study reveals that this view is outdated. According to the study, female business owners who are part of a business community are twice as likely to forecast growth, compared to those who are not.
Due to the growing number of women entrepreneurs, the need to meet, share and learn from fellow businesswomen has also increased. "Being part of such networking groups can help boost your confidence, offer you support, advice and vital exposure to funding," says Karabo Keepile, Founder of Women in Business Seminar.
Women in Business Seminar is a learning, sharing and networking platform for female entrepreneurs.Established in 2016 by Nasedi Media & Communications, Women in Business Seminar brings together female business owners, decision-makers and experts to tackle pressing issues affecting female entrepreneurs today. Each event is centered on a theme and is very intentional about imparting knowledge and understanding.
"Women want to both help and learn from each other and joining a network like Women in Business gives you the opportunity to do both," adds Keepile. Our events are relevant for women across all industries with sessions featuring an expert panel alongside refreshments and networking. These events have been on topics such as: Female business leadership in Africa, financing your business and the upcoming New Business Development, how to source, retain and grow clients.
"As an entrepreneur myself I realise the impact women sharing their skills can have, on not only their businesses but the greater community as a whole," adds Keepile.

Year after note ban, black money reborn as cyber-cash
In a 2017 appraisal, the US Department of Justice flagged cryptocurrencies as an "emerging money laundering threat", noting that they enabled transnational criminal organisations to "easily transfer illicit proceeds internationally". Indians appear to be following the global cryptocurrency boom in part because of the profits, but also because of the loss of faith in cash, as well as the flatlining of property and gold prices, precipitated by demonetisation. "It's silly to ban cryptocurrency because it is being used for money laundering or some other criminal activity. India's intelligence services, sources told The Indian Express, have warned the government that the kidnapping — India's first for-cryptocurrency violent crime — could mark the birth of a new national security threat. "The ease with which cryptocurrency allows dirty money to be moved around raises hard questions our future ability to monitor funding for terrorism and organised crime," says an intelligence officer familiar with the consultations. The technology allows users to gamble without the need to handing over bank or credit card details, lowers fees and allows for almost instant deposit times. ZebPay, India's largest exchange, has reported its user-base has doubled in the last three months, while UnoCoin says its user-base has gone up from 100,000 to 500,000 this year. Cryptocurrency gives a much better return than anything else — and it's a whole lot more safe from tax raids," says a New Delhi-based garment exporter who now keeps significant bitcoin holdings. Law enforcement in India has had few encounters with cryptocurrency so far — and bitcoin trade is currently in a legal grey zone, with no clear regulations governing it.
Cyber threats will be a big form of terror for the world
Indian cyber security is just about "satisfactory", but "needs to be good", says former army man Lt Gen (retd) Sudhir Sharma. On the sidelines of the Horasis Asia Meeting, Sharma spoke to BusinessLine about the growing threats to India's cyber security systems, the need to minimise such risks and how the country has been faring so far in this regard. I do not see countries like India, China, Korea, Russia or others coming together and compromising to deal with cyber security. When you create the architecture (for cyber defence), India and its people should be on top for creating that system. Cyber threats are going to become a big form of terror, to India and to the world. How do you see India's cyber security preparation in today's context. Is India ready to take the different security threats arising nowadays. But do you see the need to have a global cyber security law which has all nations on board. These are early days, but we have to be very cautious of the fact that cyber security will play a very dominant role in making our weapon systems. It is going to be difficult as countries are very protective about their cyber security laws.
Department of Social Services data leak: Thousands of employees' personal, credit card data exposed
The compromised data included employees' names, usernames, work phone numbers, work emails, system passwords, Australian government services number, credit card information, public service classification and organisation unit. Australia's Department of Social Services has notified thousands of current and former employees that their personal and financial data has been breached and exposed for over a year. As a result, some historical information about DSS employees' work expenses was "vulnerable to possible cyber-breach," a spokeswoman said. The department sent emails earlier this month to 8,500 employees notifying them of a "data compromise relating to staff profiles within the department's credit card management system prior to 2016," the Guardian first reported. The data has now been secured," Dilley wrote, adding there is currently "no evidence" to suggest that the data or the department's credit cards were improperly used so far. The letter sent to employees from DSS chief financial officer Scott Diley reportedly said "the actions of the department's third-party provider" were to blame for the breach. The data was managed by a third-party contractor called Business Information Services (BIS. She added that the compromised data included "partially anonymous work-related expenses" such as "cost centres, corporate credit cards without CCV and expiry dates, and passwords that were hashed and therefore not visible. BIS said the vulnerability was "secured within four hours" and said the data was no longer publicly accessible. The Australia Signals Directorate notified the DSS about the data leak on 3 October, the spokesman said.
Imgur hacked: Personal details of 1.7 million user accounts stolen in major data breach
Imgur said it suffered a major data breach in 2014 that compromised the email addresses and passwords of 1. The compromised account information included only email addresses and passwords," Imgur's chief operating officer, Roy Sehgal, said in a statement. The popular photo-sharing site was alerted by Troy Hunt, security expert and creator of the data breach notification website Have I Been Pwned, of the security breach on Thursday (23 November) which happened to be Thanksgiving – a US national holiday when most businesses are closed. We have always encrypted your password in our database, but it may have been cracked with brute force due to an older hashing algorithm (SHA-256) that was used at the time," Imgur said. I want to recognise @imgur's exemplary handling of this: that's 25 hours and 10 mins from my initial email to a press address to them mobilising people over Thanksgiving, assessing the data, beginning password resets and making a public disclosure. We apologize that this breach occurred and the inconvenience it has caused you," the company said. Imgur users have been asked to update their passwords and not use the same one across multiple sites and applications. Imgur has never asked for real names, addresses, phone numbers, or other personally-identifying information, so the information that was compromised did NOT include such PII. Disclosure of the breach comes as the latest in a series of security breaches that took place years ago that have only come to light in 2017. Imgur said they are still investigating how the data was compromised.
MacOS High Sierra 'root' security flaw: How to protect your Mac against the 'hack'
A major security flaw was uncovered in Apple's MacOS High Sierra, the tech giant's latest software for Macs, which allows anyone to get admin access without any real hacking. The Verge reported that the flaw could allow anyone the ability to view all files and even reset users' systems as well as their Apple ID usernames and passwords. While attempting to log in, all one has to do is type "root" as the username, leaving the password field blank and click on the "unlock" button twice to immediately gain complete access to the computer. Next, to enable the Root User (if you have not done that already), click on the menu bar within the Directory Utility window and then choose Change Root Password. Apple has reportedly confirmed the security flaw. You can do this by clicking on System Preferences on the Apple menu, then clicking on Users & Groups (or Accounts. According to Apple's guidelines, the simplest way to avoid any potential attacks via the flaw is to set a root password. The flaw allows anyone admin access without a password. The flaw was publicly exposed by security researchers on Twitter, which will likely induce Apple to push out a quick fix. Once that is done, click on Open Directory Utility and enter a username and password.
Uber hack: 2.7 million UK customers and drivers affected by major 2016 data breach
This latest shocking development about Uber will alarm millions of Londoners whose personal data could have been stolen by criminals," Khan said. The hack, which affected a total of 57 million users and drivers across the globe, only came to light last week after Bloomberg reported Uber paid hackers a ransom of $100,000 (£75,500) to delete the stolen data and keep the breach quiet. The UK's data regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said it expects Uber to notify all affected British customers and drivers as soon as possible. None of this should have happened," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said after news of the data breach broke last week. 7 million people in the UK – more than half of its user base in the country – were affected by the massive 2016 data breach that the company covered up for more than a year. Uber needs to urgently confirm which of their customers are affected, what is being done to ensure these customers don't suffer adversely, and what action is being taken to prevent this happening again in the future. The Transport of London cited concerns over Uber's reporting of criminal offences, background checks and the use of its secret Greyball software in London, among other issues. The public will want to know how there could be this catastrophic breach of personal data security. As part of our investigation we are still waiting for technical reports which should give full confirmation of the figures and the type of personal data that has been compromised," Deputy Commissioner James Dipple-Johnstone said in a statement. However, trip history, dates of birth, social security numbers, credit card and bank details were not affected by the breach, the ride-hailing giant said.
Google finds new Tizi Android spyware that can steal social media data, photos, contacts and more
Google said that it had notified users of all the known infected devices and suspended the developer's account. ZDNet reported that the Twitter account promoting Tizi was actively spreading links even after Google removed the Tizi-infected apps from the Play Store. The spyware was "used in a targeted attack against devices in African countries, specifically: Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania," Google said. Although the search giant has removed Tizi-infected apps from Play Store, the spyware has already affected around 1,300 devices. However, at the time of writing, the Twitter account (@MyTiziApp) appears to have been deleted and is no longer available. The individual who allegedly developed Tizi created a website and social media accounts to trick users into installing it from Google Play and third-party websites. Google said that the spyware was also capable of rooting devices with older vulnerabilities. The Android spyware can steal sensitive data from social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, LinkedIn, and Telegram. Moreover, the spyware is also capable of recording audio and taking photos without displaying it on the screen, ensuring that the user is unaware of the photo captured. ZDNet reported that one of the Tizi-infected apps was targeting people interested in installing an app about a Kenyan political coalition called the National Super Alliance (NASA). ZDNet reported that the Twitter account promoting Tizi was actively spreading links even after Google removed the Tizi-infected apps from the Play Store. However, at the time of writing, the Twitter account (@MyTiziApp) appears to have been deleted and is no longer available.
MHA directs Armed Forces to remove Truecaller, WeChat, 40 other Chinese developed Apps; declares them spyware:
The Ministry of Home Affairs has directed all security personnel engaged in countering internal and external threats to delete at least 40 Apps run by Chinese companies from their mobile phones. The advisory given to the Indian Armed Force and Central Armed Police Personnel (CAPF) warns of a possible cyber attack through mobile Apps. This website is in possession of the directive issued by the intelligence agencies. The MHA issued the official communique on November 24 after the Intelligence Directorate General (DTE GEN) raised concern over the usage of Chinese Apps. The intelligence agencies have alerted MHA usage of Chinese Applications can lead to data breach. The directive reads, "As per reliable inputs a number of Android and IOS Apps developed by Chinese developers or having Chinese links are reportedly either spyware or other malicious ware." The MHA directive further reads, "The use of these Apps by our force personnel can be detrimental to data security having implications on the force and national security." The official communique further states, "All officers and men under your command may be advised not to use these Apps either in office or on on personal mobile phones." The MHA has also asked the FMNS to uninstall the Apps if being used and format the mobile phones. Here are the lists of Chinese Apps considered to be a national threat:
WEIBO, WECHAT, SHAREIT, TRUECALLER, UC NEWS, UC Browser, BEAUTYPLUS, NEWSDOG, VIVA VIDEO -QU VIDEO INC, PARALLEL SPACE, APUS BWROWSER, PERFECT CORP, VIRUS CLEANER – HI SECURITY LAB, CM BROWSER, MI COMMUNITY, DU RECORDER, VAULT HIDE- NQ MOBILE SECURITY, YOUCAM MAKEUP, MI STORE, CACHECLEANER, DU APPS STUDIO, DU BATTERY SAVER ,DU CLEANER, DU PRIVACY, 360 SECURITY DU BROWSER, CLEAN MASTER – CHEETAH MOBILE, BAIDU TRANSLATE, BAIDU MAP, WONDER CAMP – BAIDU INC, ES FILE EXPLORER, PHOTO WONDER, QQ INTERNATIONAL, QQ MUSIC, QQ MAIL, QQ PLAYER, QQ NEWSFEED, WESYNC, QQ SECURITY CENTRE, SELFIE CITY, MAIL MASTER, MI VIDEO CALL – XIAOMI, QQ LAUNCHER
What is Cold Jewel Lines? Fake WhatsApp update found on Google Play promotes malware-laden game
The ad promotes a Play Store app called Cold Jewel Lines, a fully functional game similar to the popular Candy Crush. However, malware is executed immediately after a user starts the game that is capable of communicating with a C&C server, performing ad-auto clicking activities, exfiltrating sensitive information from the infected device, parsing and extracting information from received SMS texts, potentially executing other malicious payloads and exploits as well as executing shell commands to extract more data. Disguised to look like an official WhatsApp app, the malicious programme actually bombards users with a slew of dodgy ads. The dubious Android WhatsApp program called "Update WhatsApp Messenger" was first unearthed by Reddit users earlier in November and was later investigated by Zimperium's zLabs research team. After the app is launched, the user is hit with a variety of advertisements prompting them to install other malicious apps. Security researchers have discovered a fake WhatsApp update on the Google Play Store that advertises a fully functional Candy Crush-like game that is riddled with malware. Once installed, the app is actually tough to find on the device since it can't actually can't be seen on the launcher. However, clicking on the "empty" icon at the end of the list of applications in the launcher will open up the programme. According to Favaro, the malware is capable of extracting sensitive information about the infected device including its version, manufacturer, root status, user agent, operator, IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity) number, Android UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifier), Wi-Fi network, fingerprint and more. The developer of the phoney WhatsApp program was named "WhatsApp Inc.
What is Cobalt malware? Hackers exploit 17-year-old Microsoft Office flaw to hijack PCs
Threat actors are always on the lookout for vulnerabilities to exploit and use them for malware campaigns like this," the Fortinet researchers wrote. Researchers at Fortinet said threat actors have been using the CVE-2017-11882 exploit, a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Office that has been active for nearly a decade, but was only recently disclosed and patched by the company earlier in November. As we have repeatedly seen, not long after its disclosure threat actors were quick to take advantage of this vulnerability to deliver a malware using a component from a well-known penetration testing tool, Cobalt Strike," the researchers said. Security researchers have found hackers are exploiting a Microsoft Office vulnerability that existed for 17 years to distribute malicious malware capable of hijacking an infected system. Once the document is opened, the user is met with a plain document with the words "Enable Editing. We frequently see malware campaigns that exploit vulnerabilities that have been patched for months or even years. it's possible that this is only to trick the user into thinking that securities are in place, which is something one would expect in an email from a widely used financial service. However, the email contains a password-protected RTF document with login credentials provided in the email to unlock it. This malware campaign targets Russian speakers with a spam email that claims to be a notification email from Visa regarding some rule changes for the payWave service in Russia. The vulnerability can be exploited by attackers to run arbitrary code and potentially take full control of the system to execute commands and extract files.

Rental Scams
Scammers will use fake postings on real property websites (gumtree, domain, flatmate.com.au). The ads will look genuine (photos and descriptions are taken from other sites) but the address will either not exist, or is not available for rent.
You find a property to rent. It is a nice house in a good neighbourhood with very cheap rent. The owner is currently overseas and wants to rent their home to a good person. After exchanging a few more emails, you feel you know the family well, and you are trustworthy enough to be chosen as the person to rent the property. The owner then asks you to transfer money (via Western Union) as security. In return they will mail the key and lease agreement. You are assured that you will love the house, but if not you can send the key back and get a refund. It sounds too good to be true. The money is transferred, but the keys are never sent, and the owner has mysteriously disappeared.
Scammers try to earn your confidence; when you believe that they trust you, you forget to question whether you should trust them.
You find a property to rent and arrange to meet the owner for an inspection. You arrive at the property but find that the owner has forgotten the key. You arrange to meet another time. But they really want you to rent it, and ask for a security deposit to hold the property for you until you can see inside. The rent is low, you like the look of the building (you may even have seen some photos of the inside), and need somewhere to live, so you hand over the money. You wait for the next inspection, but the owner never shows up. You knock on the door of the property hoping that the current tenant will be able to contact the owner, but they tell you that the person who took your money was not the owner, and the property is not even for rent.
Scammers will always make excuses as to why you cannot inspect the property but ask for an upfront payment of money. Never pay money for a property you have not inspected both inside and out (even if you have seen photographs).
You advertise a room for rent. You receive a response from someone who has to travel to Australia for work. They are so keen to rent the room that they will send you a cheque for the first month's rent and security deposit without even seeing the property or signing the lease. So you agree. As an act of good faith they ask you to remove your advertisement form the website so that other people do not apply. You receive the cheque in the mail but it is for more than the agreed price, so you contact your new tenant. They explain that their company (who is paying the relocation costs) accidentally made out the cheque for the total amount of the relocation and not just the rent. They ask you to cash the cheque; deduct the agreed amount of rent and immediately refund the extra money through Western Union. This is the quickest way to transfer money and it is needed to purchase their airline ticket and travel insurance. You feel bad about the mistake and so wire the money before the cheque has cleared. You do not want to lose this tenant or delay their arrival. A few days later, you are contacted by the bank. The cheque has either bounced (there was not enough money in the account to cover the amount) or is a fake (counterfeit cheques may clear before the bank realises that it is not real). In either case, you are left out of pocket and without a tenant.
Scammers are hoping that you refund the money before you realise the cheque is fake. Always send it back and ask for the correct payment.
If you are suspicious, do an internet search of the person's name, email and property address, or even some of the email text. Scammers commonly repeat facts and there are many websites dedicated to exposing scams by posting examples of scam emails.
There are common themes in well-known rental scams:
• The home owner or tenant is overseas;
• Spelling/grammar mistakes in the text of the email;
• Rent may be lower than other properties
• Exchange of money involves a wire transfer through Western Union
• You have to pay money upfront
• The key has to be mailed to you
• An overpayment of money (by cheque) which needs to be immediately refunded
• Asking for uncommon personal details (date of birth, tax file number, passport)
• Never send money to someone you don't know
• Always be suspicious of anyone asking you to wire money out of the country.
• Never ever send personal, credit card or bank account details through an email to a stranger
• With enough information, scammers can steal your identity theft
• Never send copies of your passport to anyone over the internet
• It is not needed to prepare a lease
• Always do a drive by and make sure that the address is real and the property matches the description given by the owner
• Never pay money upfront BEFORE you have seen inside the property
• If you've only seen the property from the street, wait for a proper inspection.
• Always wait for the cheque to clear
• Even if you think it's not a scam, never pay for a refund with your own money
Scammers are almost impossible to track down as many only exist on the internet through fake email addresses, and more often than not, the scam originates overseas. You cannot recover money from someone you cannot find.
Contact your bank immediately - if you have given personal or bank details to anyone, arrange for your account to be suspended and passwords and pin numbers changed.
Report to ScamWatch and post your experiences on internet forums, and on social networking websites.

You may already know that your employees enjoy perks like complimentary coffee and staff appreciation celebrations. But, how can you find room in your budget to introduce other important voluntary benefits that could support their financial well-being now, and in the future? It's a common question many employers face—and one that's worth trying to answer, given the impact that voluntary benefits can have on employee satisfaction, retention and your recruitment efforts.
Here are some ideas to help you find room in your budget for voluntary benefits.
Consider the current utilization rates of benefits
The Society of Human Resources Management's data suggests that while employers continue to see the value in offering voluntary benefits to their employees, trends about which benefits are considered "hot or not" have shifted over the last few years. For example, respondents to SHRM's survey said programs that provide employees with access to financial advice and student loan help, health savings accounts, standing desks, free coffee and meal reimbursements top the list of in-demand voluntary benefits. By contrast, they said benefits like medical flexible spending accounts and service anniversary awards are no longer valued by employees (and many planned to stop offering them as a result).
While culture-related perks like ping pong tables, nap rooms and laundry services were quickly embraced by start-ups, marketing firms and tech companies years ago, Forbes reports that increasingly, employers like Mondo, a staffing firm for tech and the digital marketing industries, have started to invest more in voluntary benefits that address employees lives outside of work, rather than those that only impact their workday. Once Mondo found that employees placed far less value on the "trendy perks" and freebies it offered, compared to programs like flex time and student loan assistance programs, the company approached its voluntary benefits budget differently.
Analyze the utilization rates of other voluntary benefits your company already offers staff to identify where you may find room in your budget for a benefit like student loan refinance programs. If your budget includes have a specific figure earmarked for tuition reimbursement that's not being fully utilized, for example, that may be an opportunity to restructure your budget for benefits your employees will use.
Ask employees what benefits truly matter to them
Research by LIMRA indicates that while 70% of employers surveyed believed their current offering satisfied their employees, just 53% of the employees agreed. Just 18% of employers surveyed had a process for continuously asking employees which benefits they valued; only 34% of the employers asked at all.
Invite your employees to the benefits selection process by providing them with a list of all the potential voluntary benefits you could include in your budget. Ask them to rank the benefits they perceive as most meaningful, which they are indifferent towards, and whether they'd be willing to give up other benefits you currently offer (such as a gym reimbursement or catered lunches) if it meant access to other benefits, like a student loan repayment program.
Prioritize benefits that align with your desired workforce
In LIMRA's research, 73% of employers named retention as a primary motivation for offering voluntary employee benefits; slightly more than half said recruitment was an equally important objective. Now that more than one-third of the US workforce is made up of millennials, according to Pew Research Center, their influence continues to grow—especially as more Baby Boomers enter retirement. According to "The Millennial Study" conducted by Accel + qualtrics, millennials tend to value programs that support and encourage work-life balance, and "non-traditional" voluntary benefits like pet insurance, student loan assistance or help paying for important life events (like a wedding), even more than they value a high salary. Consider whether your company could benefit by adjusting compensation packages to allow for a combination of competitive salaries, flex or remote work options, and voluntary benefits that speak to your target employees' values.
Use benefits to support your culture
You can use voluntary benefits to help shape your company culture and communicate that your top priority is helping employees develop and thrive beyond the time they spend at work. Offering student loan refinancing or college savings benefits doesn't have to a be "one or the other" proposition, or require that you make employees choose which ones they'll use. Let your employees know that because your company values employee's lives at work and outside of it, you're investing in a number of voluntary benefits that contribute to their ability to succeed now, and in the future—even if the rest of their career isn't spent working at your company.

platz am meer
About The Centre
Platz am Meer is a new landmark on the coastline of Namibia, offering seafront penthouses and apartments, quality restaurants and a select variety of food and fashion retailers as well as banks.
Known as a year-round destination thanks to its desert adventures, pristine beaches and an exclusive coastline, this picturesque town has a growing reputation as both a holiday destination and permanent residence while retaining its character and charm as the gem of Namibia.
Since its population has doubled since 2001 and will double again over the next 10 years, the beautiful historic "old town" of Swakopmund can no longer accommodate everyone, which is especially evident in the town's northern expansion.
However, Platz am Meer's developer, Safari, is confident that this lifestyle estate will become the go-to destination in Swakopmund, both for the local community and for visitors from near and far. Patrons can look forward to an "all-weather" shopping environment with ample parking sea-view restaurants, and a high- quality tenant mix catering to the unique Namibian market in a beautiful coastal environment and the pleasures it affords.
Platz am Meer offers eight luxury apartments and 28 penthouses – all linked to fashionable shopping with beachfront views, green walkways and child- friendly play areas. Apartments are elegantly finished in an open plan design, creating a light and spacious feel with floor to ceiling windows and spectacular ocean views. The superior fittings provide finishes for sophisticated tastes, while modern finishes and innovative designs offer a beautiful interior and integrated sea views and comfort.
A wide spectrum of quality retailers and restaurants bring life and leisure to this lifestyle development. In addition to Checkers as food anchor and Edgars as fashion anchor, Swakopmund will have its first Woolworths Food that will form a part of the 1 547m² Woolworths outlet, while Dis-Chem will offer a full spectrum of pharmaceutical and health products.
Platz am Meer is a Namibian landmark that the local community can be proud of, granting opportunities, employment and business initiatives that should be claimed and cultivated for the better of the people.
We are confident that the Waterfront will become a popular destination, not only attracting the community of Swakopmund to its diverse amenities and activities, but also be a destination of choice for those from other towns along the coast.
