Book Trailers
I'm of two minds about book trailers- sometimes they're done really really well, and sometimes they come across as something out of a high school av lab. For me, trailers don't really do anything for me. Well-done trailers of books I already love make me smile, make me fall in love even a little more, but even a well-done trailer for a book I'm not in love with makes me appreciate the talent that goes into the trailer, not the book.
BUT, that being said, a well-done trailer is a great way to make someone curious about a book. I tend to only check out trailers for books I already have an interest in, but I talk to quite a few people in the store who find about a book from a trailer.
And there are a few book trailers I absolutely adore. Let me share them with you. *grins*
This was recently finished for Lisa Mantchev's So Silver Bright; the hardcover came out in September, with the paperback out in May. Guys, I love this book. Love it, love it, love, the culmination to a beautiful trilogy that makes all the geek parts of me very happy. It's a beautiful trailer, one that fills all the potential of the series and the empty space of pages.
(Lisa Mantchev is having a trailer contest on her blog; check it out, there's some fun stuff there!)
I adored Liesl & Po by Lauren Oliver; it was such a gorgeous, lingering book, and the trailer does that every bit of justice. What's really awesome about this is how it takes the actual illustrations from the book and pairs them with an original song. Yes, you read that right: original. And it's beautiful. Really fits the impressions of the book.
Third one here is Forever by Maggie Stiefvater. I haven't actually read this book yet- I'm waiting for it to come out in paperback so I can read all three at once- but I LOVE this trailer. This is one of the few trailers that would actually pull me in to investigate a book I know nothing about. The fact that I do know this book, and have been looking forward to it greatly, just makes it even more amazing.
Normally I'm not a huge fan of trailers with a lot of words on the screen- I guess I figure the words are for the page and the trailer is for the audio/visual enticement, but I was surprised to find I really liked the trailer for Ally Carter's Only the Good Spy Young. It gave an action-movie feel to it, like a teenage spy thriller on the big screen, which is perfect for the book and for the series.
Last one is for a book that came out several years ago, Catherine Fisher's Incarceron. I love how simple it is, how it pretty much plays off of the cover and uses that to lure the viewer in to the rest of the story. It's elegant and mysterious and doesn't give too much away.
Any trailers you particularly love? Or hate? Share below!
Until next time~

Windows Media Audio (WMA)
Windows Media Audio (WMA) is an audio data compression technology developed by Microsoft. The name can be used to refer to its audio file format or its audio codecs. It is a proprietary technology that forms part of the Windows Media framework. WMA consists of four distinct codecs. The original WMA codec, known simply as WMA, was conceived as a competitor to the popular MP3 and RealAudio codecs. WMA Pro, a newer and more advanced codec, supports multichannel and high resolution audio. A lossless codec, WMA Lossless, compresses audio data without loss of audio fidelity. WMA Voice, targeted at voice content, applies compression using a range of low bit rates.
Container Format
A WMA file is in most circumstances encapsulated, or contained, in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) container format, featuring a single audio track in one of following codecs: WMA, WMA Pro, WMA Lossless, or WMA Voice. These codecs are technically distinct and mutually incompatible. The ASF container format specifies how metadata about the file is to be encoded, similar to the ID3 tags used by MP3 files. Metadata may include song name, track number, artist name, and also audio normalization values.
This container can optionally support digital rights management (DRM) using a combination of elliptic curve cryptography key exchange, DES block cipher, a custom block cipher, RC4 stream cipher and the SHA-1 hashing function. See Windows Media DRM for further information.

text: Greece's coast guard has seized 1.3 tons of cannabis hidden aboard a foreign-flagged fishing vessel off the Island of Crete. The cannabis has a value of €15 million (US$18.5 million). The seizure followed a three-day operation which was launched after French customs informed Greek authorities of the suspect ship 'Celine Star', which was potentially carrying illegal cargo. The vessel, which sailed from Syria, attempted to flee but was escorted to the port of Lerapetra, where the cannabis was discovered. The captain and four-member crew were arrested. The operation involved four Coast Guard patrol vessels and two planes, one of which belonged to the European border and coast guard agency Frontex.

This week we began of our new unit called, "Crimes Against Humanity." This unit will be historical, and you will write both argumentative and an informative papers. Since our anchor text will be John Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, we will spend quite a bit of time researching the main crime against humanity that everyone should be familiar with . . . The Holocaust, which occurred from 1941-1945. This was a genocide orchestrated by Adolf Hitler which targeted people of the Jewish religion. Unfortunately, this was not the first or last genocide which has occurred throughout history. Luckily, there were a few survivors of this tragedy that were willing to share their stories with the world. We are so lucky to be able to have first-hand accounts of this tragedy available to us. This week, I would like you to use some time to research The Holocaust and refresh yourself about what happened. Then, I would like you to look up a survivor of The Holocaust and read his/her story. Please comment back with with the survivor's name and a summary of their story. Go HERE to find interesting links.
Remember: You will not receive credit for comments that do not adhere to the C.U.P.S. rules or that are off topic. Please take the time to check your work before you post.
I'm looking forward to this awesome new unit!

Jeannine Burk was born in Brussels, Belgium on September 15th 1939. She was a hidden child. She remembers riding a streetcar with her father and then walking to a woman's home. That's where she stayed from age 3 to 5. That was the last time she ever saw her father. She never knew the woman's name so she never got to thank her. Whenever the Nazis paraded, she had to stay in the outhouse in the backyard. She didn't know what she was scared of, but she says she remembers being petrified.

I chose to read about Irena Sendler, a Polish health worker who helped save children of the Warsaw ghetto. After the Jews had been sent to the Warsaw ghetto, a 16 block walled-area with a population of 400,000 Jews, she helped to smuggle out the Jewish children. She obtained a pass through the Warsaw Epidemic Control Department, and every day she went in and collected children to be smuggled out and given new identities. Sendler kept records of their true identities, (about 2,500 of them were found), and buried them in jars under her neighbor's apple tree. The children were adopted by non-Jewish families and survived, unlike the adults of the Warsaw ghetto which were sent to concentration camps. Eventually, Sendler was caught and arrested by the Nazis, held prisoner and tortured by the Gestapo, but she never gave up the identities of the children or her associates who helped her. Irena Sendler, known as the "Angel of the Warsaw ghetto", passed away in 2008 at 98. I found my information at http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/irenasendler.html

She ended up in Bergen-Belsen with her mother and brother Freddie, while her father ended up in Auschwitz. Dorianne was taken out of the camp in June 1945 by the Soviet troops. A year later, she moved to the United States of America.
I found a holocaust survivor named Alice Lok Cahana. She was originally born in Hungary and in 1944 she got transferred to Auschwitz. After that, when Allied Forces approached, she got transferred again to Guben Labor camp, tried to escape, and then ended up in Bergen-Belsen which was, "hell on earth."

My Holocaust survivor is Nesse Galperin Godin. She was born in 1928, in Siauliai, Luthuania. Nessi lived in a ghetto they had established in Suauliai until 1943, when she was old enough to work. She was deported to a camp near Danzig, while at this camp she was put on the death march and nearly beaten to death, covered in frostbite while wearing only a dress, blanket, and some straw they had found on the ground. She had once seen her reflection in a glass pane at a hospital, her reaction was, "A skeleton covered with skin with big blue eyes." Her, her mother, and two brothers survived and arrived in the United States in 1950.

My Holocaust survivor is Lbi Ginsburg. On March 19, 1944 the Germans invaded Hungary. Her family was taken by soldiers, they and many thousands of Jews were packed into cattle wagons, then they were shipped away. They were taken to a camp. There her and her family were separated, later on after being at the camp for some time she found out that her mother and 2 little sisters were taken straight to the gas chambers. She was forced to shave her hair and wear stripes. Then she finally got out, married and moved to England.
The name of the survivor I researched is Jakob Frenkial. Before the war started, Jakob lived with his very religious family in a small town named Gabin. Gabin was home to one of the oldest synagogues in Poland. Once the war started, German soldiers came to Gabin and set the synagogue and most of the houses on fire. They were then sent to Auschwitz where Jakob and other children were lined up to be incinerated. Luckily, Jakob and his brother, Chaim, snuck into the line to get tattoos on their arms signifying that they were to be kept alive. After that, they spent 17 months in Auschwitz until they were moved to camps in Germany. Not long after that, the camp was liberated and Jakob emigrated to the US at the age of 16.

I researched Irene Safran. She was 21 when she had to leave her home (Munkachevo), and move to the Jewish ghetto. She only lived there for a few weeks before they were told to get ready to leave for "relocation". They waited at a brick factory, guarded by soldiers, for 5 days before they had to get on a train made for cattle. When they arrived at Auschwitz they were put into 5 lines. One was for elderly and those who were sick (they were supposed to go to new homes). Her mother and sister got on, and were cremated that night. At this point she was only with one of her sisters, and they were showered, shaved from head to toe, and given clothes. Every morning they were counted, and if someone wasn't there, they usually found their bodies by the electric fence, where they had killed themselves. Almost everyday was the same; very little food, work, sleeping with 14 others, and being terrified of what would happen to her or her family. She didn't get to leave Auschwitz until 1944. Almost all of her family of 10 had been killed at that point.

He had a Jewish family and also went to a Jewish school. During the war his family was forced to take food and eat as little as possible so him and is family can survive. Abraham was deported to Manjdanek and then to seven other Nazi camps, including Buchenwald. He was liberated in transit to the Dechau camp on April 30, 1945.

He was then taken and put on cattle trucks to be transported to Auschwitz, where he was separated from his family. After 10 days he was selected for slave labor. He moved around to work until he caught pneumonia and a German doctor saved his life. April 15th he was chosen for the British army. He moved to England in 1949, where he started a family and got a job.

The name of the survivor I researched is Liane Reif. She was born in Vienna, Australia on November 14, 1934. In 1933-39 her father was found dead a probable suicide. On May 1939 4 months before the war broke out her mother booked a passage on the St. Louis, a ship bound for Cuba.Her Polish-born Jewish parents were married in Vienna and lived in a 14 roomed apartment in a middle-class neighborhood near the Danube river. Her father was a dentist and had an office in their home. In 1940-44 the Germans invaded France. They soon bordered a train for Limoges, which had not been yet taken by the Germans. At first they were housed in a stadium where they slept on the rows of stone bleachers with barely any food. She stated that for her 6th birthday her mother gave her as so called "the nicest present" which was a peach and some dried fruit. That is the story about Liane Reif.

"The name of the Holocaust survivor I researched is Szlamach Radoszynski. Szlamach was one of six children, born into a Yiddish-speaking, religious family. T On September 1,1939, Germany invaded Poland. On April 1993 Szlamach"s family had either died in a Nazi ghetto or at Treblinka death camp. After a ghetto uprising Szlamach was deporthed to Auschwitz where he shoveled dirt on cremated victims. He believed he would live because his tattoo (128232) added up to the Jewish symbol for life. In 1945 Szlamach was deported to Dachau were he was liberated by a U.S. soldier on May 1,1945. July 1949 he emigrated to the U.S."

While the initial costs of more attractive and durable paving slabs will likely be higher than poured concrete or asphalt, maintenance and repair costs can be lower as paving slabs are removed and reinstated after underground repairs, i.e. no wasted discarding of the pavement surface. Because there are fewer joints, paving slabs present a visually calmer surface.
Paving slabs calm this street in Quebec City while the smaller pavers mark drainage and underground utility lines.

A Handgun with a Past
MIAMI: Authorities say the gun used to kill fashion designer Gianni Versace was used in two earlier slayings linked to suspected serial killer Andrew Cunanan. Quoting an anonymous law enforcement source, The Miami Herald reported the bullets that killed architect David Madson in Minnesota and cemetery groundskeeper William Reese in New Jersey came from the same .40-caliber handgun that was used to pump two rounds into the back of Versace's head last week. Meanwhile, as the search for Cunanan continued in South Florida, Versace's brother and sister issued a heated statement denying that the fashion designer had ever met, or known, the 27-year-old gay gigolo. Earlier in the day, some 2,000 people, including Princess Diana, Elton John and Naomi Campbell, joined the Versace family for an emotional, star-studded memorial service in Milan's 600-year old cathedral.

How can you prevent spider bites?
- Install screens and weather stripping on windows and door sweeps on doors.
- Fix any cracks in siding and walls, especially where pipes or wires enter the home.
- Store clothing and shoes inside plastic containers, and shake out all clothing that has been in a hamper, on the floor or in storage before wearing.
- Wear heavy gloves when moving items that have been stored for a long period of time.
- Inspect shoes before wearing them, as spiders often hide inside.
- Reduce clutter in basements, garages and attics.
- Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house.

Beautiful charming place, the water is cold and clear and tasty
There is a sign from New Boston town declining any responsibility
A local gentleman told us that he has been drinking it for years and recommended it to everybody
Easy to park
It was a nice quiet regenerating moment
Thanks to the Spring, the ones who protected it and the ones who respect It 🙂

Health Ministry Launces National Campaign on AMR
Health Ministry Launces National Campaign on AMR
Under the theme "Antibiotics…Wise Use…Better Outcomes" the National Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Campaign began at the Crown Plaza Hotel today (Monday) under the patronage of H.E. Dr. Fuad bin Jafar al-Sajwani, Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries in the presence of H.E. Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed al-Saidi, Minister of Health along with number of Ministers, members of the State Council and Majlis A'Shura and high ranking officials.
The campaign is organized by the Ministry of Health (MOH), represented by the Directorate General of Diseases Surveillances & Control in collaboration with the MOH Directorates and related Ministries.
The national campaign aims to define the rational use of antibiotics in the health, animals and agriculture sectors. As well as coordination between these sectors in order to work together within a national plan to tackle the risk of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). In addition to applying a high-level of infection prevention to reduce the risk of infection, as well as raising the awareness among the patients, health workers, agriculture specialists and veterinarians.
Dr. Amal al-Maani, Director of Central Department of Infection Prevention & Control stated that "The Directorate General of Diseases Surveillances & Control has developed a draft of national strategy to combat the (AMR). The strategy aims to gather the concerned authorities to agree and implement a coordinated response in cooperation with the international organizations at the national level".
The most disturbing problems to the doctors and workers in the field of human and animal health in most countries of the world are the prevalence of resistance of various types of infectious microbes to human against the antibiotics. It is expected in the near future to spread the outbreaks of infectious with number of serious communicable microbes, for which it has no effective antibiotic.
It is worth mentioning that the national committee of resistance the antibiotics includes the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the private sector (hospitals & pharmacies), Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Armed Force Hospital, Royal Oman Police Hospital, the Research Council, the media mass, the community leaders, Public Authority for Consumer Protection, Food Safety Center at the Ministry of Regional Municipalities & Water Resources, Ministry of Environment & Climate Affair and Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB).
Afterward, the chief guest and the Minister of Health launch and approve the National Strategic Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance, the National Antimicrobial Guidelines and National Policy for Surveillance of Multidrug Resistant Organisms.

Introduction / HistoryThe Ampanang people group lives just east of Central Kalimantan, southeast of the city of Tunjung, not far from the cities of Jambu and Lamper. Kalimantan, meaning "River of Diamonds," is the name for the Indonesian two-thirds of the island of Borneo; Malaysia and Brunei occupy the other one-third. The Ampanang are one of the people groups in the Barito cluster, which is part of the larger Dayak ethno-linguistic complex. Dayak peoples tend to live alongside the interior rivers of Kalimantan. They are sometimes sub-divided as either Land or Sea Dayaks, although this is primarily a European designation to distinguish the various groups. They are usually further characterized by: (1) bilinear inheritance and bilateral kinship reckoning; (2) uxorilocal residence or living with or near the kin of the wife; (3) political unity rarely above the level of the village; (4) absence of social stratification (although slavery is or was practiced by some groups); (5) multifamily dwellings (often including longhouses); and (6) in most cases, secondary burials. The Dayak tribes apparently came from West Asia as a migration of the Mongols who entered the archipelago through the southern Kalimantan coastal city, which is now called Martapura.
What are their lives like?The primary means of livelihood for the Ampanang include hunting, gathering forest products, fishing, farming, and trade. Although most Ampanang live beside rivers, there are also those who live in areas far from any river. The Ampanang culture is intertwined with their belief in unseen spirits. In the same way, the arts and various other activities are incorporated into their belief system. The Ampanang also uphold various traditional ceremonies. These ceremonies include matchmaking and engagement, marriage, pregnancy, birth, healing of a sickness, and burial. Ritual ceremonies are also often observed during the time of celebrating their important holidays.
What are their beliefs?Generally the Ampanang people are followers of the traditional Dayak beliefs, called Kaharingan. In addition, some are also followers of the Nyuli belief. The focus of the Nyuli teaching is that there is a resurrection after death (Suli). According to Nyuli teaching, Bukit Lumut releases the departed spirit. Such a spirit then returns to their village, bringing something from eternity that can be used to improve the condition of the world. The Ampanang people also give praise to the spirits of their ancestors (duwata). Each Ampanang family has a place of worship for their own duwata in their house. This place of worship is usually called kunau. They also use a pangantuhu, a piece of human bone, as a tool to call departed ancestors.
What are their needs?Recently, there has been significant change in the life, traditions, worldview, and community systems of the Ampanang. This has occurred in conjunction with their greater mobility and contact with the outside world, and their new openness to outsiders. The Ampanang need formal education and skills development in order to face the changes they are experiencing. Sufficient education and skill improvement can help them rise above poverty. Improvement in health is also still greatly needed.

Engineering researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology devised a technique for accelerating the movement of water off industrial surfaces like those in power plant and desalination condensers. The team from MIT's Lab for Nanoengineered Surfaces, Interfaces, and Coatings published its findings earlier this month in the journal ACS Nano (paid subscription required).
In power plant steam turbines and desalination units that turn sea water into drinking water, condensers turn steam into water. The faster that the water can be removed from either of these industrial units, the more efficiently they operate.
The team led by engineering professor and lab director Kripa Varanasi tested the ability of microscale engineered surfaces to shed water. Previous research indicated that water had a tendency to condense within the textures of hydrophopic (water-shedding) surfaces, breaking the vapor pockets, and creating an attachment of water to the surface, the opposite of the intended outcome.
The MIT team found a combination of steps could vastly improve the hydrophobic capability of these surfaces. First, they created a a surface pattern with posts only 10 microns — 10 millions of a meter — across. They then added a small amount of lubricant held in place on that surface with capillary action by the tiny posts (pictured at top).
The researchers found the droplets of water condensing on this surface moves 10,000 times faster than on surfaces with the hydrophobic patterning alone. The increased speed that water droplets moves off the surface makes it possible for new droplets to form faster. This process can increase the efficiency of heat transfer in a power plant condenser, or the rate of water production in a desalination plant.
In addition, the amount of lubricant required is minimal, Varanasi's team reports. The lubricant forms a thin coating, which is securely held in place by the posts. Any lubricant that is lost can be replaced from a small reservoir at the edge of the surface. First author and postdoctoral researcher Sushant Anand says it takes only about a quarter- to a half-teaspoon of lubricant to coat a square yard of the textured material, which also helps protect the underlying metal surface from corrosion.
Varanasi plans to conduct further research to quantify the extent of improvement possible with this the new technique in steam-turbine power plants. Because steam turbines are ubiquitous power plants generating electricity with fossil fuels, Varanasi notes that "even if it saves one percent, that's huge" in its potential impact on global emissions of greenhouse gases.

- 1 / 2 X 250 FT 6X25 Fiber Core Bright Wire Rope
The 6x25 wire rope possesses the best combination of flexibility and wear resistance in the 6x19 Class due to the filler wires, providing support and imparting stability to the strand. The fiber core center is made of either natural fibers or polypropylene and offers superior flexibility.
6X19 Class (often referred to as 6X25) rope has six strands with 16 to 26 wires per strand. Wire ropes with a greater number of individual wires (6X37) provide more flexibility and fatigue resistance while ropes with fewer wires (6X19) provide greater abrasion resistance, less flexibility, and more "stiffness". Independent wire rope core (IWRC) ropes have superior crush resistance and strength over fiber core wire ropes, but offer less flexibility.
FC-Fiber Core Center
IPS- Improved Plow Strength.
RRL-Right Regular Lay.
Bright Wire- There is not a coating on this wire rope.

Eddie Murphy and fiancée Paige Butcher welcomed their second baby, Max Charles Murphy, last Friday. The couple just confirmed the news to People.
"Both mother and son are doing well," Eddie's rep said.
Eddie and Paige also share a 2-year-old daughter, Izzy Oona. In August, they announced that they were going to give Izzy a younger sibling.
The couple was "very happy to expect another baby," a source told People at the time. "They wished for a younger sibling for their daughter."
Eddie, 57, now has 10 children total with five different women; most of them are with his ex-wife, Nicole Mitchell Murphy.
The source added that Paige, 39, is "very close to Eddie's kids."
"They are a very special and happy family," the source explained. "They vacation and spend holidays together. Paige loves being a mom and is very involved. She takes her daughter to the park and for play dates."
Eddie and Paige also confirmed their engagement in September.

This page aims to help you remove Kwampirs Malware. Our removal instructions work for every version of Windows.
The article you are already reading is here with the aim to help you against Kwampirs malware. According to the experts, Kwampirs is related to the Trojan malware group. Actually, more than 80% of the whole number of malware-caused cyber infections takes place because of this virus category.
In the article below, you are going to read about every reason why a mischievous program like this one is considered to be one of the most terrifying viruses you can ever meet.
General traits of all the viruses known as Trojans:
On the whole, a Trojan Horse could be exploited for a huge number of nasty illegal activities. In the passages below, we are going to focus only on the most prevalent uses. What's more, we are going to sum up what all these viruses have in common, and why they are such a huge and dangerous group.
Firstly, we would like to say that Trojans may work completely subtly- if they have broken into your computer, you might have no idea that your machine has been infected with something.
Maybe that's why this kind of malware has been called after the wooden horse from the ancient Greek myth. The way in which the Trojan virus versions function is similar to the way the Greeks used their wooden horse statue to conquer the city of Troy – through stealth and deceit. Even more, Kwampirs may wait with patience, quietly, before the right moment for it to do something hazardous has come.
The locations Trojans could be lurking in:
It is typical that the possible Trojan sources could have differences from one another. Nevertheless, the usual ones are the emails from your electronic Inbox (Spam directory also), where Trojans are usually hiding. There is one more common source – various fake online advertisements you could come across on the Internet. If you click on any of them, there is a big chance to catch a virus like this right away. And finally, illegal torrents or web platforms of all types may be the sources of many Trojan versions.
The way to remove such a serious cyber threat:
Fortunately, a mischievous version like this might be neutralized if you have a guide that is designed exactly for this aim. What you should do now is read the instructions in the Removal Guide we have made and added down below and use them to get rid of the insidious malware virus.
Possible negative effects a Trojan:
Maybe, there are a lot of different deleterious activities Kwampirs could have been set to perform on your device. Below have been listed some of them:
For destruction/corruption of files and software:
Most viruses that fall in this category can destroy some or all your files, delete the contents of your hard disks, or even some system files. Therefore, your computer might be rendered unusable or even unable to load into Windows after a reboot.
A tool for distributing other viruses:
The ability of these viruses to infect someone's machine unnoticed is usually used by cyber terrorists who are on the web to infiltrate your PC with not simply one malware version but with more malicious programs. For instance, the Trojan you've caught is maybe trying to sneak a Ransomware program into your system.This is one of the most horrible scenarios. Ransomware is more than just dangerous – it is able to lock your data using a specific code. Following that, you would be asked to pay an amount of money for the affected file formats' decryption.
For turning the infected devices into bots:
The hackers who have designed Kwampirs could be after your PC's resources. This means they might want to turn your device into a bot; and later on exploit its resources by using it to spread spam and/or to mine for cryptocurrencies. Also, this is an extremely bothering scenario because you are likely to end up charged with serious online crimes you have never really participated in.
Another common use of any Trojan is the so-called espionage practice. If the cyber criminals are indeed after something like important info from your workplace, they could try to infiltrate your job network from your PC, and they may use a Trojan to achieve that.
|Danger Level
|High (Trojans are often used as a backdoor for Ransomware)
|Nothing particularly visible.
|Distribution Method
|Via spam, all sorts of fake ads and requests as well as torrents and shareware.
|Detection Tool
parasite may reinstall itself multiple times if you don't delete its core files. We recommend downloading SpyHunter to scan for malicious programs. This may save you hours and cut down your time to about 15 minutes.

Type Regedit in the windows search field and press Enter.
Once inside, press CTRL and F together and type the virus's Name. Right click and delete any entries you find with a similar name. If they don't show up this way, go manually to these directories and delete/uninstall them:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—–Random Directory. It could be any one of them – ask us if you can't discern which ones are malicious.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—-Windows—CurrentVersion—Run– Random
HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—Internet Explorer—-Main—- Random
If the guide doesn't help, download the anti-virus program we recommended or try our free online virus scanner. Also, you can always ask us in the comments for help!

Friedrich Kellner
Jump to navigation Jump to search
August Friedrich Kellner (1 February 1885 – 4 November 1970) (pronounce) was a justice inspector during the Nazi period in Germany. As a Social Democrat, he campaigned against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. During the Second World War, Kellner kept a secret diary to record Nazi crimes. He referred to his diary as "Mein Widerstand," meaning My Opposition. His diary was published in 2011 under the title, Vernebelt, verdunkelt sind alle Hirne (Clouded and darkened are all the minds), by Wallstein Verlag in Göttingen, Germany.
Diary (1939 - 1945)[edit]
- Vernebelt, verdunkelt sind alle Hirne : Tagebücher 1939-1945, Wallstein Verlag, Göttingen, Germany, ISBN: 978-3-8353-0636-3; translated from the original German by Robert Scott Kellner. The diary was on exhibit at the George Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, in 2005 and at the Dwight Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas, in 2010. In 2007, CCI Entertainment in Toronto, Canada, made the documentary, My Opposition: the Diaries of Friedrich Kellner which was screened in 2008 in the Dag Hammarskjöld Auditorium at United Nations Headquarters in New York.

When preschool is not in session, children in the 10 Month Program participate in our vacation program at no additional cost. A deposit equivalent to one month's tuition is due on or before June 1st. This deposit holds the child's place in the program for the school year from September 1st through June 30th. Tuition payments are then due by the first of the month from September through June. This program is a 10 month commitment. Families have the option of a 9 or 10.5 hour day schedule. This program includes care on days that the Morning Preschool Program is closed e.g. (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Eve (1pm), Christmas Eve (1pm), Winter break, New Year's Eve (1pm), February Break, April Break).
Tuition Deposits: All deposits are adjusted annually. For those students who will not return the next year, the deposit, less any outstanding fees, is returned at the end of the program. As preschool places are extremely difficult to fill in the summer or mid-year, deposits and tuition payments are forfeited for students who do not begin or complete the school year for which they registered. If you choose to withdraw or make changes to your registered program, permanently or temporarily, before the end of the year, all or a portion of your deposit will be forfeited. See the Deposit Policy for more detailed information.
Summer Program – This program complements the school year. Children enrolled in the 12 Month Program are automatically enrolled in our Summer Program for their regular hours. Other students may attend all or some days with regular hours from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Extended hours are available. Information and sign-up sheets for the Summer Program are distributed in the children's backpacks in February. See the Summer Program brochure for additional information.
Holidays – Holidays are taken into account when setting the yearly tuition. Tuition for those months containing holidays is charged at the regular rate and is not reduced.
Sibling Discount – A sibling discount of 5% is applied to the least expensive regular tuition charge. Sibling discounts do not apply to additional hours or special programs.
Illness and other Absences – Because of staff scheduling requirements, credit or refunds are not given for illness or other absences. Please call the office (508-877-2593) whenever your child will not attend school.
Emergency Conditions – The 9 Month Morning Program and Extended Day Program are closed when the Framingham Public Schools are closed. The 12 and 10 Month Programs will operate unless severe inclement weather occurs. In the event of severe weather conditions, closing the school is up to the discretion of the Director. In case of a closure a detailed message will be left on the school answering machine by 6AM (508)-877-2593 and an email will be sent to parents by 630. A building emergency may require the school to close early due to safety concerns. The Program Director will e-mail parents with details under these circumstances. Full tuition is due for months in which emergency conditions require the Center to close.
Late Payment and Returned Check Fees – Monthly tuition payments are due on or before the first day of the month. A late payment fee of $20.00 will be assessed for each month in which the payment is more than 10 days overdue. Failure to pay the full balance by the 15th of the month following the month in which payment was overdue will result in immediate disenrollment from Circle of Friends.

Virtual Reality vs Augmented Reality
How are these technologies used in the industry?
June 14th, 2017 | OPTIS group
Little by little, virtual reality and augmented reality are becoming mainstream technologies. As far as industry is concerned, companies are increasingly using these new technologies, which provide unique immersive experiences of their products. But what really differentiates VR from AR and how are they respectively used by industrial companies?
Augmented reality is a compromise between virtual reality and the real world: it allows to display 2D or 3D information in the real world, with which the user will interact. This information appears by means of specific AR devices, such as glasses or smartphones for example. This technology superimposes virtual elements to our vision of the real world and aims to provide more details about one's environment.
Virtual reality immerses people into a virtual 3D environment, in which it is possible to move and interact. In the industrial sector, it is now possible to create 3D models and to experience these true-to-life products virtually, thanks to specialized software such as Theia-RT. Engineers and designers can then explore the product in its future environment - by means of a VR helmet or in a CAVE - and make comprehensive decisions about the appearance of the final product, in real time. After testing different color and material scenarios, virtual reality also let industrials dynamically test the product and easily experience complex maintenance operations.
In other words, virtual reality is a simulation whose main objective is to be as close as possible to reality. In many cases, the visual aspect can also be enriched with another technology, sound spatialization - which makes it possible to hear sounds in 3 dimensions - making immersion even more realistic
OPTIS is pleased to announce that we sponsor TechXLR8, in London. Visit us at booth TX800 in the VR & AR World area and enjoy 20sqm dedicated to VR and innovation !
That's not all! Come and listen to OPTIS' CEO, Jacques Delacour, who will be presenting on Thursday, June 15th (Industrial VR & AR Track - Automotive Focus), about how the automotive industry has replaced physical prototypes with virtual reality. You may also be interested in the discussion around right after the presentation, to learn more from OPTIS, Jaguar Land Rover and IBM Interactive Experience about VR and AR in the automotive industry.

Ever since the presidential election, Americans have been hearing about the so-called "fiscal cliff." Tax cuts proposed by former President George W. Bush and implemented during his term in office are set to expire with the end of the year if Congress and the president can't agree to extend them.
Ever since the presidential election, Americans have been hearing about the so-called "fiscal cliff." Tax cuts proposed by former President George W. Bush and implemented during his term in office are set to expire with the end of the year if Congress and the president can't agree to extend them.
At the same time, automatic spending cuts, including deep cuts in the Department of Defense, will be implemented if Congress and the president can't agree on funding a spending plan. Many economists fear that double whammy will send the country spiraling back into recession.
Arguments swing back and forth about who will be responsible for giving the country the shove that sends it over the precipice. The answer, if it happens, is that no one shoved. The American people jumped.
Americans, quite simply, voted for higher taxes. They were presented with a very clear choice and they opted to pay more of their income to the government.
No matter what you might say about the clarity, or lack of clarity, in Republican Mitt Romney's campaign message, he made it very clear that he opposed tax increases. In fact, Democrats criticized him for taking that position.
For all his platitudes about protecting the "middle class," President Barack Obama made it clear that he favored increasing taxes. While he might have said that he wanted to raise taxes only on some people — the ones he called rich — he clearly came down on the side of raising taxes.
America chose Obama, and we can only assume that Americans accepted with their choice the possibility of higher taxes.
Obama says that he favors keeping the tax cuts in place for all but those who make more than $250,000 a year. The resulting revenue from raising taxes on this 2 percent of Americans would not significantly shrink the deficit, even if it has no negative effect on economic growth.
Yet Obama would allow taxes to be increased on all Americans if he can't single out 2 percent of them to pay more. Sounds like a plan concocted by a man who isn't really so opposed to raising taxes, after all.
Obama said during the presidential campaign that he favored a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction. By that he meant some tax increases coupled with some spending cuts. But his proposal to Republicans during negotiations aimed at avoiding a tumble over the fiscal cliff calls for about $400 billion in spending cuts and $1.6 trillion in revenue increases. That's about as balanced as putting University of Alabama offensive tackle D.J. Fluker on one end of a seesaw and UA gymnast Ashley Priess on the other end.
Obama and fellow Democrats opposed the Bush tax cuts. They blamed the tax cuts for the big deficits that piled up during the Bush administration. They have also consistently opposed meaningful cuts to domestic spending programs. Why would they now want to save the tax cuts that they condemned or make spending cuts they opposed?
And why would Americans expect anything else?

One of my sons shares the following with a match:

30.53 total
9.00 longest block
33.1 (one segment) on the X

I am his mother and I do not have this match but my maternal half-brother does.

100.55 total
8.07 longest block
34.14 (one segment) on the X - same place as my son shares with her.

Why am I not a match to this person?

I think it has something to do with who is getting the "Ashkenazi adjustment". My brother and I get it but my kids don't.

My brother shares 30 segments with this match - typical Ashkenazi match with lots of small segments. Entirely possible he also connects on his father's side.

Here's a question though - with lots of small segments on 1 through 22 but one large segment (> 30 cM) on the X should we be looking for an inheritance route that alternates genders? In other words - something like our mother's father's mother's father's mother's father's mother?

I'd like to welcome our special guest for today, SM GTW Pleated Salmon Dress. Yeeey! Haha. You'll get to see how she frolics from day to night. Her guesting is very timed for our current situation, her salmon pink tone shines perfectly for summer.
Outfit #1. Festival LookThis blue green vest matches gives our SM GTW Dress a fun and vibrant vibe. It's best for those days when you know you'll be enjoying a day with friends, perhaps to a music festival and the theme is candy. Haha. It's a nice way to change up the shorts game once in a while, specially if you'd like to be cute and all (like me... >.<).
Outfit #2: Out and About LookOur SM GTW dress guest knows that a denim polo never fails to level up an outfit. Throw in a denim top, sneakers and your good to go. You can wear this when your out doing some shopping at a mall. It's casual yet stylish, girl next door kind of look. Even if you're wearing a dress it doesn't come out too girly, thanks to our denim polo that balances things out.
This is my personal favourite.
Outfit #3: Jetsetter LookSince our SM GTW dress guest likes skies and airplanes too, she went for a versatile scarf that can be worn in different ways. The scarf can be worn the usual hanging around/wrapped up in your neck or something like the how we styled it below... Airplanes can be a freeze sometimes so it's best to have something to keep us warm.
Outfit #4: On a Date LookKimono's are girls bff, and our pretending-to-be-shy guest decided to have her white kimono friend come and join her on her date. This ensemble is something you can wear at night on a dinner date or even to a party.
Outfit #5: Girl on the Go Look*Honestly, I don't know what to call this last look anymoreee.... Lol.
..But! From the looks of it. It's something you can wear when you're out for coffee, a casual meeting or similar to the 2nd outfit, for hanging out in the mall and such. This style is something inspired from Korean Ulzzang girls.
Bonus outfit #6:Hahaha! Our special guest SM GTW dress on its own (you saw this look way up there too)... This look is nice to wear on special occasions, the clutch bag from Zalora makes & strappy heels (my current fave) from Hue Manila makes the look chic..
If I'd like to dress down a bit, I'd wear my comfy flats in white or nude shade.
Thank you for our special guest SM GTW who's colour is so lovely and pleats so perfect for joining us for today. Hahaha...
My personal best would be Outfit #2. Would be nice if you let me know what outfit you preferred by commenting below.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the looks and got some ideas for your own style. Remember when shopping for a dress, make sure to think if it can be styled with pieces you already have in your wardrobe. That's it! Hope to see you on my next post.

Chris Karabas has joined the staff team of RSA Films as executive producer. Karabas, who previously worked with RSA as Midwest representative, brings a valuable combination of sales and creativity to the company's diverse offering. In his new role, Karabas will collaborate with clients and A-list talent to create and develop ideas for transmedia storytelling opportunities.
Jules Daly, president, RSA Films, said of Karabas, "He's worked with us for many years bringing wonderful creative opportunities to our roster and collaborating with directors to help them grow their careers. He has approached the business from many angles and his experience makes him a great resource across commercials, branded entertainment and VR. We're excited for this next chapter of our relationship."
Karabas has enjoyed success in entertainment and advertising as a musician, lyricist and producer between Chicago and Nashville; a jingle writer and singer; a film editor; and partner in Chicago talent management firm, House of Representatives. As a staff EP, Karabas will work out of RSA headquarters in Los Angeles.
"To be competitive, advertising must be entertaining," Karabas says. "I've always focused my energy on entertainment and advertising. To be working at the intersection of these two industries with the RSA Films' family of companies–Hey Wonderful, 3AM, Black Dog and Scott Free–is incredibly rewarding."
When Karabas started in talent management in 1998, his first client was RSA. He has also repped many other A-list companies including The Mill and Rattling Stick. Today's constantly shifting industry prompted Karabas to make a change in his own career. He spent time discussing the possibilities with Daly and RSA co-founder Ridley Scott, who recently received the British Academy of Film and Television Art's highest accolade to an individual, the BAFTA Fellowship. Scott asked Karabas to come on board as a staff EP to be part of the RSA Films family's evolution in advertising.
"The industry is changing," Karabas said. "For instance, social media. I think it's a mistake to treat it as 'throw away' content. We think it has massive potential if given the attention and financial resources it deserves. Black Dog, for instance, is ideally suited to elevate the quality and effectiveness of social media with its many influencers and artists.
"We see incredible opportunity for creative-minded brands today," Karabas continued. "RSA has been around longer than any other commercial production company, but their vision of the future makes them feel like the youngest one out there. I'm passionate about working here because I have the utmost respect for Jules and Ridley and they've entrusted me with a big job."
Among RSA's most recent projects is "Into the Now," Michael Muller's VR experience produced by RSA VR and Vanishing Oceans. It is slated to premiere as part of this year's Tribeca Film Festival's Immersive Program at the Virtual Arcade. "Into the Now" leverages cutting edge virtual reality production techniques to offer a unique look at our oceans, capturing the most spectacular events in marine life.

"Parents can sometimes feel trampled by the stampede of tablets and smartphones and overwhelmed by the accessibility of media on the Internet. It's true that media and technology can be dangerous when left to run unchecked in our families; however, like wild horses, when tamed they can become valuable tools—tools our children can use to become a strong influence for good in the world."
That's a paragraph from the excellent article "Taming the Media" in the August issue of the Ensign. Below are summarized ideas from that article.
Children's use of media and technology
One parent comments as follows: "We purchased a tablet for the family to use for educational benefits, but we quickly realized that we hadn't given enough thought about how to regulate what games our kids could play and for how long.

The original Version !
The Band That Time Forgot does not encourage the use of psychedelics , But if we did ...
Stash Jackson on WMBR
WMBR Stash Jackson Interviewed by the Mighty Slim
Cool Songs - Wacky Stories
Tandyn Almer Dead. Who?
Among other things, he wrote Along Comes Mary and invented the Tandyn Master-Slave Water Pipe
He was also a member of MENSA ( for genus level IQs) and wrote many other songs, yet remained mysterious and reclusive.
Check out his 'far-out' the lyrics and
The Band That Time Forgot
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warning's passed,
the gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realize their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

The Kickstarter Campaign
Another older musician cheated out of royalties. The Band That Time Forgot does a rousing version of 'The Time Has Come Today' so I feel karmically kompelled to contribute to Lester Chamber's freinds and family's very succesful campaign to raise some funds for some little finacial justice.
Stash was in a group that opened for the Chambers Brothers in 1969 at Wesleyan University. Our band got reviewed by the black college paper , which said that Stash kept a good beat despite his 'cultural deprivation'. Love it.
This is a very cool story, and nicely reported by CNN. (link above)
A You Tube version of the song is below.
The Kickstarter Campaign is linked above.
Thanks to Mighty Slim for the tip.
Thanks to Glen Snow for the recent reminder about the campaign.
The Original Nature Boy?
The one Nature Boy to pass the torch from the old era to the the 1960's hippie generation was Gypsy Boots
In the 1940's Boots lived wild in Tahquitz Canyon with all of the Nature Boys, bathing in the cool mountain water, eating fruits and vegetables, sleeping on rocks or in caves, hiking and selling produce in Palm Springs.
In the early 1960's he appeared on the Steve Allen show over 25 times to an audience of some 25 million households.
He appeared as a contestant on Groucho Marx's TV show You Bet Your Life. He was friends with Kirk Douglas. His son directed the movie Life Drawing.
He was the inspiration for the song Nature Boy. He was eccentric and a pioneer. He ties all this wierdness together.
Listen to the great and short NPR tribute.
Gypsy Boots was actually on You Bet Your Life with Grouch Marx.
This is GREAT
The Roots of Hippiedome
Hippie roots came from Germany!
Its interesting history can be read here.
The expression "Lebensreform" (life-reform) was first used in 1896, and comprised various German social trends of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. Sound familiar?
1. vegetarianism
2. nudism
3. natural medicine
4. abstinence from alcohol
5. clothing reform
6. settlement movements
7. garden towns
8. soil reform
9. sexual reform
10. health food and economic reform
11. social reform
12. liberation for women, children and animals
13. communitarianism
14. cultural and religious reform: i.e. a religion or view of the world that gives weight to the feminine, maternal and natural traits of existence
The Source and Nature Boy
But if you're not familiar with it - get a load of this history.
The Source was funded by a successful Veggie restaurant which was started by Father Yod (Ya Ho Wha). We was an ex-marine and became a member of the Nature Boys.
eden ahbez (no capitals) wrote the song 'Nature Boy' and had a hit when Nat King Cole's recorded it in 1947!
Here is a rare video of Ya Ho Wha and eden ahbez with Nat King Cole !
Betty Page & Sky Saxon
They died with a year of one another. Sunlight Saxon of the Seeds on June 25, 2009 and liberated 50's pin-up Betty Page on Dec. 11 at 85. The Seed big hit was Pushin' Too Hard.
Sky Saxon was also a member of The Source family led by Ya Ho Wha or Father Yod. On June 25th at 71, Sky Sunlight Saxon, as they say, "passed over to be with YaHoWha".
But if you're not familiar with it - get a load of this history in Part II of Wierd California & the Hippy Movement .
For a start - here's Betty Page dancing to the seeds!

How to design a questionnaire
- Created by: Sarah
- Created on: 04-05-16 15:20
What makes a good questionnaire?
- Discrimination
"Do people who differ in the construct being measured obtain different scores on the questionnaire?"
People with the same score on a questionnaire should be equal to each other on the measured construct.
People with different scores on a questionnaire should be different to each other along the measured construct.
The degree of difference between people should be proportional to the difference in scores.
Researchers tend to use 7 point versions these days to try and increase spread and avoid ceiling effects (Ceiling effects is when measurements of the dependent variable result in many very high or highest scores on the dependent variable, thus masking a potential effect of the independent variable. Ceiling effects may occur when giving examinations to students, when the exam is so easy that all the students correctly answered every test item).
- Validity
Did you measure what you were supposed to measure? eg. does the empathetic concern scale really measure empathetic concern, or does it measure something else?
1. Content Validity
