In the world of first cleansers, oils and balms get all the attention, which is unfortunate because oils are drippy and balms are usually laden with polyethylene, which is a microplastic that is probably slowly destroying our oceans. Luckily, there are other options, they just take a bit more effort to identify. Here are a few … Continue reading 1st Cleansers for People who dislike Microplastics and Oil Cleansers

Between dance lessons, soccer practice, and homework, sometimes it can be hard to give your child time to just play. While school and sports help develop a child's education and physical wellness, studies show that play is equally important in their development. One activity that really lets their creativity flow is playing dress up. Kids dressing up during play has shown to have social, developmental, and emotional benefits.
Emotions and Social Skills
When a child plays dress up, they are suddenly able to be whoever they wish to be. The only limits they will encounter are those put in place by their own imaginations. They can explore real life careers and situations by reenacting a trip to the doctor or perhaps a firefighter heroically saving a family from a burning house. In this way a child can explore a situation that they have encountered, and work out why it is important. It also gives them a chance to express how the situation makes them feel, and by enacting out different roles, how it may make other people feel. This can help them develop the sometimes difficult-to-comprehend feeling of empathy. Along with empathy, playing dress up can develop social skills when playing with others. When another child joins in the play, both will have contributions to make to the story. They will need to learn to cooperate with each other for the play to remain fun, as well as sharing the pieces of the costumes and taking turns in certain desirable roles.
Imagination and Fun
Along with developmental skills, dress up employs the use of imagination. Imagination encourages creative thinking, giving them the tools to help problem solving. Through creative play, the child may begin to use words they found from television used by their favorite characters, and put them to use in real life to expand their vocabulary. Along with an expanding vocabulary, dress up encourages a child to learn to dress themselves. A parent can also take this as an opportunity to share the importance of putting everything away when they are finished playing. The pieces of costume are easier to find when put away in the right place, and less likely to become damaged.
While dress up has many developmental benefits, in the end, the most important element is fun. To provide awesome costumes for dress up play, you can either purchase ready-made outfits from various companies, find items from around the house, or a combination of the two. If you join in with your kids dressing up, you may be surprised how much fun you find yourself having too!

I've posted two messages today. they are not showing up? have they been censored? neither was offensive nor broke any rules.
@toremf : even bots are sleeping during the night! :D Your message still standed intact when I arrived and read it this morning! :D
I have read all threads about session timeout so here is to clarify:
- the timeout doesn't happen after 5mins, but much, much less. More like 30 seconds
- I need to wait 10 minutes before I can log in again
- I do NOT get a message about commercial use! It says (translated from German): "Connection is locked after timeout. Your license limits the maximum session duration. New connections will be blocked. Please try again later or upgrade your license. Connections to this partner are blocked until [t+10min]"
- I get this on any of my PCs. All PCs are Win10 latest update and latest Teamviewer version (14.xyz)
- I do use TV on different platforms, but I haven't tried if the Linux version behaves the same or not, hence I've only added the Windows label to this.
This makes the free Teamviewer version totally useless. They could as well abandon the free version (30 seconds!! Come on!) Please let me know if this is a temporary glitch, or if I have to move on to a different software. Thanks.
I'm an old user of TV. I'm helping my parents and couple friends remotely from time to time. I'm really sad to see TV management don't care about free users anymore. It is so sad to see this happening. Suspecting me in commercial usage.
I mean yes I have multiple devices Desktop, laptop, iPhone, iPad and yes, ocasionaly traveling, who doesn't?
It is not fair to put a sign it is FREE for personal use. Cause it eminds me a jail or concentration camp - step right, step left - shoot! Scary!
I'm finally arrived to my parents house which was like 6000 miles away. Updated OS, updated TV to TV14. And?
I'm probably done here. Will look for External IP option for my parents probably and will use built-in options of Remote acess. And also will not recommend this product anymore to anyone. Really dissapointed. "Thank you" new Teamviewer team!

Hello everyone,
It's been more than 1 1/2 months trying to get my ID unblocked. After explaining that i'm using TeamViewer only for connecting to my home PC form a public open space and not used for any commericial use, i received two email letting me know that my ID was unblocked after reviewing my request. But i still keep getting the Commercial message , can someone help? Should i do any action after i got those emails cause i guess it was a whitelisting from TeamViewer and no action is needed form my side
Thanks in advance
Me too experiencing the same issue..anybody knows the fix.please help.........
Same here, starting today also. Cannot find a way to submit a ticket either. TV fixed this last time, maybe two years ago.- they asked for logs, I sent them and they reset me to Free. But not today. Hope this isn't the end.
Same here starting this morning (07/29) - no way am I a commercial customer. It won't let me open a ticket because I don't have an actual license..... I think we're all now in a state of limbo....
paparoup, You have a contact email address for TV?!?!? Care to share it? I'd like to send them a note as well.
Hi 03buecoupe, sorry but i don't have an email address for TV
hey, on friday i got an Mail from TV. i will send the Form this week. I will keep you up-to-date.
Have Fun ;-)
Dear TeamViewer User,
Wow $50/mnth for one connection what a rip off! I used to use it a lot up till today, 5 family members requiring assistance occasinally plus I use it to control my other home computers instead of flipping the monitor and keyboard back and forth. Good program but not interested in filling out forms or paying **Please do not discuss price**. I would've sprung for **Please do not discuss price** just to get rid of the nag and not have to reinstall another remote control everywhere. **Third Party Product** will be fine thanks though for forcing me to waste a bunch of time. Sorry I ever switched to TV and told people how good it is.
...Not to mention how concerning it is, from a privacy point of view, to know TV is collecting and processing data to make such a judgement.
I have been using TeamViewer for a year or so now. I had an issue about 6-12 months back complaining that I was using TeamViewer for commercial use... After looking at my connection history, the support team made me sign and send a form saying something along the lines that I assure I am not using TeamViewer commercially. I filled out the form, and after a week I was good to go to connect to my other PC again. The time has come yet again where I am getting the We Believe Team Viewer Is Being User Commercially prompt, and closes my connection after about 2 minutes.
How do I use TeamViewer:
I use it to connect to 1 PC on that's on my home network when I am at home, or sometimes I will connect to the PC remotly using the TeamViewer app.
What I don't use TeamViewer for:
I don't have an association with TeamViewer connecting to any buisness, or doing an I.T. related issue for other people.
I don't use TeamViewer to earn a profit.
I don't use TeamViewer as an addon to anything I sell... nor do I sell anything.
If a moderator wants to contact me, I will be more than happy to send all the needed files and discuss further how I use TeamViewer. I will also sign another one of those Personal Usage Forms if needed. These 2 minute connections, then 15 minutes in between is killing me.
I would also like to find out how to get that form and connect to my home PC from Home and while I am at work. I also don't use it for anything other than connecting to my home computer. Not used for profit or commercial use in any way.
i have encountered the same problem today as well. i have been using it to access my home computer and all of a sudden my connection terminated because commercial use was detected
This is effecting me too.
I'd start by filling out their form here :https://www.teamviewer.com/en/support/commercial-use-suspected/
Hopefully they just changed something stupid and fix it quickly, but their FAQ says to fill out that form to get you working again.
I am getting the false commerical use message again. I had the same problem in 2016. The ticket number at that time was #2765304 and this got fixed quickly.
I am retired and have been unable to walk unaided since 2006. I have used TeamViewer for several years to access the computers in my home. I also use TeamViewer to access my families' computers. I have NEVER used it commercially and have NEVER earned any money using TeamViewer. I have reread your non‑commercial requirements and I clearly meet these requirements.
Let me be very clear. I have NEVER used TeamViewer commercially and have NEVER earned any money using TeamViewer.
I hope we can fix this situation quickly.
Thank you for your help.

I use teamviewer to access computers in different room's. All on the same network, one is a media PC and has long connection time.
But i suspect my VPN usage caused it. I had 2 computers both using VPN's with no issue. I recently added 3rd computer and VPN was slow connection. It had many connection's, lots of IP's in last 24-48 hours, trying to troubleshoot unsucesfully during which i got hit with this suspected commercial usage.
I filled out the form but wondered if anyone can help me here? I'm hoping you can see from logs they are all on the same home network.
I also use TV to connect to my PC at home from work.
I am receiving commercial use messages and getting cut off today.
As I mentioned prior, I already filled out the form. I also sent a support email to them. This was all about a year or so ago, when this problem happened the first time. Now it's happening again and nothing has changed on my end.
Since this is suddenly happening to many people, I suspect it's a bug at Teamviewer's end.
The timing of this bug is probably my fault, as I'm about to go on vacation for a couple of weeks, and was relying on Teamviewer to access my home computer while gone. Guess that won't be happening...
Ongoing discussion: https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/General-Questions/Team-Viewer-Commercial-Use/m-p/68384#M31220
You are not alone.
me too, where do I email to let them know that I am also one of those people in this category?
Same here, just started using Norton VPN a couple of weeks ago. I'd already had several reCAPTCHAs trying to do a simple Google search. For those, disconnecting the VPN and reconnecting cleared up the problem, apparently getting away from a "bad" (maybe just busy) IP address.
I tried the commercial use suspected page to reset, but it seems to have problem with my TeamViewer ID. The message "Please enter your device id as it appears in your TeamViewer client." appears each time I try to submit. I've tried what I consider my TeamViewer ID, as lower case, first letter capitalized, all caps, email address, and Windows machine name, but nothing appears to work. The title on the field says "TeamViewer ID", so I didn't expect some of these options to work, but just gave it a shot.
Not a big deal at the moment, since I mostly use TeamViewer at home. I can just get up a walk to the other computer. It will be kind of a nuisance to find a replacement for the times I travel, but TeamViewer has a couple of annoying issues anyway. It sometimes fails to render specific windows, especially when connecting to my older Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.
If anyone from teamviewer can get me that form I would be very thankfull. Longterm user got this and I in no way am commercial, make/sell products.
I suspect me adding a PC and troubleshooting VPN slow connection caused mine as did thin in last 24-48 hour's. Or could be amount of time connected to my media pc. I'm just hoping they can see mine are all on the same local network.
Thank you for post claytone. I am highly suspecting me using VPN's is causing it to. If they looked at IP 3 computer's were in different IP's for me. But in reality they were all in my house different room's.
It was just 2 until last 48 hours or so. So wondering if the 3rd computer i just added in last day or two was what caused it. Idk how many IP's it got when I was troubleshooting VPN speed. Would not suprise me if 25+ different IP's.
I'm just hoping they can see on same local network and hopefully put me back to regular. As I'm in no way commercial.
I am also experiencing issues with this. I've absolutely NOT used this for commercial use and now I'm unable to remote into my home computers while I'm away. Please fix this. No, I'm not going to buy your software, I'll simply use something else.
Thank you
The "commerical use" bug bit me today. I found the two similar but different forms below. I was finally able to submit the second one using the numeric TeamViewer id (### ### ###) in the device ID field. The first one asked for "TeamViewer ID", but didn't like the TeamViewer user ID I submitted. The second also asked for a log file, so I sent the latest one along. I'm not going to hold my breath, since the form says "answering your request may take up to 30 days".
I also have this problem, can somebody solve this please?
Yes, I'm going to look around for a new product.I really can't justify spending [the price has been removed as per the community guidelines.] when for the most part I could just get up, go upstairs, and sit down at the other computer.
I found there are actually two similar pages for arguing your case, links are below. I got the second one to work by including the numeric device id (### ### ###) in the device ID field. This form also requires submitting a TeamViewer log file, which I did.
The "commercial use suspected" form asked for a "TeamViewer ID", and wanted the numbers as well. This doesn't make much sense, since the numbers identify a particular computer. I now have two blocked computers, I'd like to get them unblocked at the same time.
The two forms actually have different purposes, The first one talks about the commerical use messages we've been seeing, and promises a response in 7 days. The second one talks about an expired trial period, something to do with the options selected when installing TeamViewer, and says a response may take up to 30 days.
I've now submitted both forms, so we'll see what happens.I really thought the second form was just a different version of the first, but failed to read carefully, due to frustration over trying to figure out what the first form wanted.
Add me to the list of very angry people this morning. I ended up just removing Teamviewer and setting up RDP with noip for dynamic IP access. This happened before a couple of years ago, and they were swift in resolving my issue. Now, it is completely the opposite. Not only can we not create a ticket or write to the support email, it now takes forever to respond. HUGE, HUGE contrast to their customer service before where it was almost immediate.
I hate being a second-class citizen to Teamviewer. I would not have minded paying for a personal license, but they don't offer one. It does not make sense to pay [The price has been removed as per the community guidelines.] for a business license when I only intend on using it personally.
Me Too....
Found this link. But yes its frustrating getting that message. I get that people need to pay for corporate use, but its frustrating for home users having to deal with paranoid bots assuming corporate use. Properly check before blocking I'd suggest.
Just popped up today. No idea why commecial use would be suspected. I use it to connect to PC's and a laptop in my house. Occasionally use it to troubleshoot my 88-year-old mother's PC.
Also having trouble with the form. It wants to see "affected teamviewer ID." I'm putting in the computer name in the "my computers" list, but keep getting "Please enter your device id as it appears in your TeamViewer client."
Great service when it was working. Don't know what to do if I can't even submit the request form.

Do you happen to know what goes in the Affected TeamViewer ID field in the form?
Apparently TV suspects you are using TV as a commercial account. Go to tech support or HElp on their website and search there for help on explaining your use is personal.
I have the same problem today, July 29. I have never used it for commercial use at all. I don't even use it to transfer files, just to control my personal servers remotely. I hope this is just some new bug that they quickly fix, otherwise I guess I'll just have to switch to "Third party product". Luckily, there are alternatives if TeamViewer wants to alienate its user base, but I hope that isn't the case. I understand that they're not making any money from me, but if you claim to offer free software forever under specific conditions, and then kick people off for not following the rules even when they are, it makes you look like a bad company. My 2 cents.
What a pain, not sure what's going on... I just switch to a free product... what a shame, I have used teamviewer for years for personal use only, and now it's become a product that I feel is no longer worth all the hassle that I'm having to go through just to use it for my personal use. I'll just use a remote desktop product to get to my windows machine, and use something other product for getting to my linux servers.... Sad to say, I could never recommend this product for commercial use...
i got booted out today but only on one of my computers. and its the one i absolutely need it on because i have no monitor hooked up to it. i think mine got triggered because i just got a brand new macbook so because i have 3 computers on the same account, plus my phone, it probably thinks im using it for commerial purposes
super annoying, please fix
Heh, just saw this when my TV connection expired: Work flexibly from home for only [removed per Community Guidelines - Do not discuss price]. I guess this is what they were after, after all.
Oh well. Today I am getting the warning again when i connect to my that PC that I upgrade TV on yesterday.
it still doesn't cut me off even though it says it will.
I submitted the form today. Let's see how long it takes. Their message says it will take seven days.
Same problem here. My account is mistakenly considered commercial. Please fix this!
Too much of a hassle to get TV to recognize me as a personal user.
I have switched to **Third Party Product**. Essentially the same thing as TV and no hassle.
Here is how:
[Removed as per Community Guidelines.]
Ending a years long relationship with TV because of this Commercial User Detected issue.
I guess, I will follow
I have used this for years to support family and log into my own computers at my home with the same location/IP.
Today I got the commercial usage suspected / can only log in for 5 minutes at a time.
Strange, is there a change in policy?
Filled in the form and will see what happens
However it may end.
Now back to reality, need to do some research on alternatives.
I did NOT receive an email from TV - but while I was doing maintenance on FAMILY computers (my Parents are 'not allowed' to attempt that ,, LOL )
I received a Pop-Up
I used the 'Feedback' link to explain to them that I AM PRIVATE
-- Yes Please, SnowBallOne -- keep us informed
I have purchased Teamviewer but now after about 3-5 minutes i get locked out for 10 minutes and I get a message saying that I must upgrade. ?
Interestingly - TeamViewer only seems to give me the commerical use warning when I use it from specific locations.
[removed per Community Guidelines]
It's a real shame that TV can't be bothered to sort this out - it's a very useful program, but it's becoming increasingly obvious that they don't give a flying **bleep** about free users and, it would seem, don't want us using their software. Maybe there are too many of us and we're using too much of their resources - but you think they might just introduce a "home support" subscription instead of just annoying everyone like this.
I have wrote an email with proper document which teamviewer staff needed and its more then a year and noone replied.
I am user with disabilities (wheelchair) and teamviewer helped me a lot connect to my other computers that were not my immediate reach. Teamviewer as a company doesnt care about their users.
What a shame.
PS: my email with form teamviewer needed was sent Thu, Jan 24 2018, 3:07 PM

Michaëlle Jean School (MJPS) is named after the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, our former Governor General.
Below is a brief biography of the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean:
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M., C.D., Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of CanadaMichaëlle Jean was born in Port au Prince, Haiti. As a young child in 1968, she and her family left her country and sought refuge in Canada.She received a Bachelor of Arts in Italian and Hispanic languages and literature, and continued her studies towards a Master of Arts in comparative literature at the University of Montreal. From 1984 to 1986, she taught at the Faculty of Italian Studies at the same university. During the 1980s, she pursued linguistic and literary studies at the University of Perouse, the University of Florence and the Catholic University of Milan, all of which cited her for excellence. She is fluent in five languages: French, English, Italian, Spanish and Creole.As she pursued her studies, Michaëlle Jean worked for eight years, from 1979 to 1987, with Québec shelters for battered women. She has taken in, supported and accompanied hundreds of women and children in crisis, while actively contributing to the establishment of a network of emergency shelters throughout Québec and elsewhere in Canada. She was also involved in aid organizations for immigrant women and families, and later worked at Employment and Immigration Canada and at the Conseil des Communautés culturelles du Québec.Madame Jean's sense of social commitment and her appreciation of national and international realities led her to journalism. For 18 years, she has been a highly regarded journalist and anchor of information programs. She joined Radio-Canada in 1988, working successively as a reporter and host on such news and public affairs programs as Actuel , Montréal ce soir, Virages and Le Point . In 1995, she anchored a number of Réseau de l'Information à Radio-Canada (RDI) programs such as Le Monde ce soir, l'Édition québécoise, Horizons francophones, Les Grands reportages, Le Journal RDI, and RDI à l'écoute. In 1999, she was also asked by the English network, CBC Newsworld, to host The Passionate Eye and Rough Cuts which broadcast the best in Canadian and foreign documentary films.In 2001, Michaëlle Jean began anchoring the weekend editions of Radio-Canada's major news broadcast Le Téléjournal. In 2003, she became the anchor of Le Téléjournal's daily edition Le Midi.In 2004, she started her own show, Michaëlle, which is broadcast on both French-language public television networks. This program features a series of in-depth interviews with experts, enthusiasts and visionaries.In the mid-1990s, Michaëlle Jean also participated in a number of documentary films produced by her husband, filmmaker Jean-Daniel Lafond: La manière nègre ou Aimé Césaire chemin faisant, Tropique Nord, Haïti dans tous nos rêves, and L'heure de Cuba. These thought-provoking documentaries were critically acclaimed and earned awards both in Canada and internationally.Michaëlle Jean has won numerous honours for her professional achievements, including: the Human Rights League of Canada's 1989 Media Award for her report titled La pasionaria, on the struggle of an immigrant woman in Québec; the Prix Mireille-Lanctôt for her report titled Partir à zéro, dealing with spousal violence; the Prix Anik for best information reporting in Canada for her investigation of the power of money in Haitian society; the inaugural Amnesty International Canada Journalism Award; the Galaxi Award for best information host; the 2001 Gemini Award for best interview in any category; and the Conseil de la Langue Française du Québec's Prix Raymond-Charette. Michaëlle Jean has also been named to the Ordre des Chevaliers de La Pléiade by the Assemblée internationale des parlementaires de langue française, and has been made a citizen of honour by the City of Montreal and the Ministère de l'Immigration et des relations avec les citoyens of Quebec in recognition of her accomplishments in communications.Michaëlle Jean is married to Jean-Daniel Lafond. Their daughter, Marie-Éden, is seven years old. Michaëlle Jean's family also includes Mr. Lafond's two daughters from a previous marriage and his two grandchildren.

The government runs the country for us, and they are there to make our lives easier! They provide things like roads, emergency services and benefits for us, making our lives a better place to be in, but they use a lot of different technologies to help us with it. There are a huge amount of different pieces of tech that they use to help us, so here are a few of the best ones.
Electronic Voting Systems
For time untold across the world, the use of paper has been a problem. This expands to every aspect of life, and it includes voting too! The process of paper voting is a long and arduous one and involves a lot of counting and a lot of money. Voting fraud can occur with the counters, or it can simply just be counted wrong which affects the result of a vote! There are a huge amount of problems with paper voting, but electronic voting does away with all this. Companies like smartmatic are used by the government to provide an easy, digital solution to voting. All you have to do is vote on a screen and you're done! It sends your voting information off the the government, without the need for manual counting, saving money and time whilst making it more accurate at the same time.
Automatic Gunshot Detectors
As we all know, gun crime is a problem in America, as a lot of it goes unreported and the police cannot get there in time to do their jobs. This is where companies like ShotSpotter come into play. Integrated into some of the country's biggest cities, small microphones will pick up gunshots that are heard within their vicinity, which will then notify the police the second it happens! This automated service means that the police can arrive on scene as fast as possible, possibly saving lives.
City Grader
This is an interesting thing being pushed out by the government, and allows us to see how well rated a particular cities services are. This has a whole application of uses, allowing you to see what an area is like from a services standpoint if you're going to live there! The ratings are done by local people as well as investigative organizations, so if you're going to move somewhere it's definitely worth giving the area a look at with this before you make your mind up!
All of these things are used by our government to make our lives easier and safer. Electronic voting systems make our political engagement easier and clearer to do by using a digital touchscreen and machine precision to count with, gunshot detectors alert the police to when a firearm is discharged in the street and we can now view the opinion on local areas! These are all very marvelous inventions that have, and will continue to change our lives for the better. Of course, there are more interesting inventions than just the ones mentioned here, but if you're looking for the coolest things ever made then check this out.

This study attempts to extend the current understanding of the impact of multiple institutional logics and the heterogeneity of organizational responses. The authors set out to investigate organizational responses by mid-tier accountancy firms in the face of conflicting institutional logics. Through the analysis of interviews with top management level informants and an investigation of secondary material, the authors make three main contributions:
Lander, M. W., B. A. Koene, and S. N. Linssen. 2013. Committed to professionalism: Organizational responses of mid-tier accounting firms to conflicting institutional logics. Accounting, Organizations and Society 38 (2).
The accounting profession has recently come under increasing institutional pressure. Financial globalization along with technological innovation and a broad shift towards neo-liberal principles of market economics are changing the face of accounting. For many firms, this marks a change in their institutional environment that resulted in a shift in emphasis from the trustee logic to the commercial logic. This study attempts to determine how mid-tier accounting firms deal with these changes.
The sample selected consisted of the 22 largest accounting firms listed directly behind the big 4 firms. The primary sources of data are interviews with 34 senior-level informants within 11 mid-tier accounting firms in the Netherlands. The informants were theoretically sampled on a number of characteristics. They needed to have insight in the strategic plans of the firms. Preferably, the informants needed to be managing partners and have decision making authority. They also needed to represent the different service areas of the firm. Using a two-step process, the researchers conducted the interviews with a focus on the following three questions:

Calling in sick can be awkward..
"As flu season approaches, people soon will wake up to a tricky calculation: Should you drag yourself into work f.eeling awful? Or can you get away with staying home to heal?"
"Staying in bed poses a risk of falling behind or being seen as a slacker. But showing up sick, and grossing out or infecting colleagues, can be worse, and a growing number of employers are setting policies to discourage it."
"This year's outbreak of whooping cough, or pertussis—projected to be the worst in 53 years—brings a new, highly contagious risk to the workplace."

Name: SurfWatch Threat Analyst
Description: There is a whole lot to like about it and it may be one of the most powerful tools on the market.
Price: $50,000 to $150,000 for one-year subscription.
Quick Read
- Strengths:
- Very granular, user configurable screens targeting business users rather than cyber techs.
- Weakness:
- A costly solution to the intelligence gathering and analysis problem. Also, we would like to see a less complicated deep configuration excepting the nice screen setup, of course. The lack of clarity on integration of third-party feeds we see as a drawback even with the strong intelligence gathering of SurfWatch. Although they do have the ability to integrate these feeds, they do not see themselves as an intelligence aggregator. We think that access to third-party threat feeds is a major plus in this type of product since it adds additional enrichment to their already good enrichment of their collected data.
- Verdict:
- In a sensitive environment – such as a financial institution that can afford the resource – this is a very solid contender. There is a whole lot to like about it and it may be one of the most powerful tools on the market.
Rating Breakdown
SC Labs Reviews
Reviews from our expert team
SurfWatch Threat Analyst collects, deconflicts/normalizes and evaluates structured and unstructured threat data from a wide range of open and restricted sources. These sources can include such things as social media, news, blogs, phishing data feeds, threat and vulnerability data feeds, Dark Web markets, forums and paste sites, and data breach reports. Much of these data are unstructured and, especially from the Dark Web, these feeds are critically important threat intelligence.
Once the data are collected and processed initially, they are used to create CyberFacts. These become the basic building blocks of the system. CyberFacts are enriched by SurfWatch Labs analysts and developed into reports. We were impressed that the company gathers much of its intelligence in the forums and underground markets by embedding live analysts in the Dark Web rather than using screen scraping only. Because they follow a model of business intelligence gathering and reporting rather than staying too close to the cyber world they are able to make their information consumable by lay people rather than simply restricting it to technologists.
The screen layouts were especially interesting because they can be set up by users with simple drag-and-drop configuration. On our screen, we saw intelligence team alerts, watch list alerts, alerts drill down to full reports, general news of cyber intelligence interest and CyberFact alerts. In the intelligence team alerts, for example, we saw that there was a cancer center that had suffered an attack by an actor called DarkOverlord. In our CyberFact alerts, we saw that one of our watchers – rig exploit kit – was matched against a new CyberFact.
The company has over a million CyberFacts collected, analyzed and reported on over a three-year period. We found that interesting, but we were impressed when we found out that they do not consume any third-party threat feeds. Typically, we find that there are consumers and providers of threat feeds. In this case SurfWatch Labs Threat Analyst is both a provider and a consumer, but it is the only consumer of their CyberFacts, so we really can't think of this as a third-party threat feed.
You can integrate to third-party systems through the company's API. To do that, threat data and derived intelligence is available either through real-time data delivery via HTTP Post or can be queried up to 100 times per minute. Data are in JSON data format, and can also be delivered in STIX/TAXII formats. The API allows integration with SIEMs and other security tools, so a direct low-level interface is not necessary.
Because the screens can be set up with dashboards and widgets, there is, as one might imagine, a lot of setup required. Additionally, monthly risk reports are created by SurfWatch analysts, as well as custom reports addressing a particular issue at customer request. All of this equates to manual work and while it is a critical path to a secure enterprise, it also is costly. This is an issue that we see frequently with this type of product. The more the tool depends on human analysts, the more you can expect to pay for it. The problem is that there is no good way to get past the human issue. Human analysts are critical in most cases to collect and analyze sensitive data, such as the goings-on in an underground marketplace.
The website is solid with lots of documentation to help you evaluate the product and to help you after you sign up. There is a customer portal as well. This is how you access your account in the cloud. Support is a no-extra-cost offering that is available eight-hours-a-day/five-days-a-week and there are a couple of custom levels as well. While there is access from the website, we liked the feature that lets you "Ask the Analyst" right from the dashboard of the product. In our view, for a cloud-based product where you are online in the portal when you have a question this makes the most sense. Complicated question can be handled this way using screen sharing.

5 Ways to Help Your Kids Use Social Media Responsibly
"For most teens, the Internet is a fundamental part of life," according to Dana Udall-Weiner, Ph.D, a psychologist who specializes in media literacy. It's how they communicate and interact. Teens use social media sites like Facebook for everything from casual talks to breakups, she said.
With social media a major part of teens' lives, it's important they have a healthy relationship with the Internet. What does this look like?
According to Udall-Weiner, it resembles any healthy relationship: It has boundaries.
It also shouldn't have to meet all their needs, including emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual, she said. For instance, sites like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest should never replace face-to-face interactions, she said. Instead, they should supplement them. That's because online interactions lack the emotional depth and support of real-time relationships. "…[I]t's hard to know whether someone is trustworthy, loyal, and invested in your well-being."
The Internet also lets people keep a comfortable distance from others. Udall-Weiner cited MIT professor Sherry Turkle, who believes the Internet provides "the illusion of companionship, without the demands of friendship," and "people are comforted by being in touch with a lot of people, whom they also keep at bay."
Fortunately, parents can teach their kids to use the Internet in healthy ways. Below, Udall-Weiner shared five strategies.
What Parents Can Do
In Udall-Weiner's experience, parents approach Internet use with extremes: "they either prohibit it, or they pretend it doesn't exist, since they're quite terrified to find out what their child is really doing online." Instead, she suggested communicating with your kids and teaching them to be more aware of how they use the Internet.
1. Talk to your teen about their time online.
Talking to your kids about how they use social media and technology helps them break out of autopilot and become more mindful of their actions and reactions, Udall-Weiner said. "[This] is an important skill when it comes to developing emotional competence." It's important for teens to understand how being online affects them (such as their mood).
She suggested asking your kids these questions: "Which websites do you often visit? How do you feel emotionally, both during and after using these sites? Have you ever had any uncomfortable experiences online, or seen anything upsetting? Do you believe that there are any downsides to viewing the sites you regularly visit, or to using the Internet in general?"
2. Teach your teen to be media literate.
A mistake parents often make, according to Udall-Weiner, is that they don't teach their kids about media literacy. But it's vital for kids to understand that what they see isn't what they get online. For instance, "Parents need to actively remind their children that images are not reality—that no one is as thin, perfectly-muscled, unwrinkled, or flawless as that person in the ad." She suggested visiting Media Smarts for more information.
3. Set time limits on Internet use.
Teens are still developing their executive functions, which include monitoring behavior, organizing information and setting goals, she said. Plus, spending too much time on sites like Facebook can make teens feel worse. "My clients regularly tell me that they become very upset after looking at Facebook, since everyone looks happier, thinner, or more popular than they feel." So parents might need to set restrictions on Internet use.
4. Surrender all phones before bedtime.
"This is a way to ensure that kids aren't up late texting or surfing the web, rather than getting precious sleep," Udall-Weiner said. This rule also applies to parents' phones, "since kids emulate what they see."
5. Know the research about Internet use.
Research has suggested that looking at images of thin models — which are splashed all over the Internet — may be associated with various negative consequences. "After seeing these images, people report things like decreased self-esteem, poor body image, depression, guilt, shame, stress, and an urge to engage in eating-disordered behavior, such as restricting food intake," said Udall-Weiner. She also specializes in body image and eating disorders and founded ED Educate, a website with resources for parents.
Research also has suggested that the Internet makes us feel more disconnected from others, she said. "It's important for teens to know the research on Internet use." Talk to your kids about these findings.

20 CFR § 655.120 - Offered wage rate.
(a) To comply with its obligation under § 655.122(l), an employer must offer, advertise in its recruitment, and pay a wage that is the highest of the AEWR, the prevailing hourly wage or piece rate, the agreed-upon collective bargaining wage, or the Federal or State minimum wage, except where a special procedure is approved for an occupation or specific class of agricultural employment.
(b) If the prevailing hourly wage rate or piece rate is adjusted during a work contract, and is higher than the highest of the AEWR, the prevailing wage, the agreed-upon collective bargaining wage, or the Federal or State minimum wage, in effect at the time the work is performed, the employer must pay that higher prevailing wage or piece rate, upon notice to the employer by the Department.
(c) The OFLC Administrator will publish, at least once in each calendar year, on a date to be determined by the OFLC Administrator, the AEWRs for each State as a notice in the Federal Register.

Currently, I am using Nikon D300 with a 50mm f1.8 prime lens and 16-85 mm f3.5 – 5.6 zoom lens. It is an upgrade over my first SLR camera which was a Sony Alpha 200. There are a lot of debate over which camera brand is the best. If you ask me, all cameras are capable of producing really good pictures. It is only a means towards an end. What really makes a photo stands out is the photographer themselves.
I always stick to the notion that we are all photographers, not brand bashers. So no matter which camera you are using, the most important thing is to capture that perfect 'Kodak moment'.
Update: Ever since my original gears were stolen by a snatch thief, I am currently using a 2nd hand Nikon D300 with a 17-55 F2.8 Nikkor Lens.

Does anyone have any opinions on the new katanas from kaneie. I especially like the silver dragonfly. It's the polish that really gets to me. Everything looks extremely pleasing to me. Aesthetics aside, the blade is made from T10. The full details are on the Casiberia website.
I'm actually more interested in hearing about the CONS of owning this line of katanas if there are any.
Thanks for reading!
Here are some pictures of the Silver Dragonfly from their website.

Various mast producing trees such as oaks and fruit trees are a great way to provide additional food to the wildlife on your property in key areas. Keep these tips in mind to ensure success.
1.Choose the Best SiteThere is a reason farmer's plant their crops in specific areas. Trees also grow faster and thrive in areas they prefer. When given a choice between planting a tree atop a rocky hilltop or down in a valley or bottom, generally the area that's lower in elevation will have better growing conditions. A simple way to determine a suitable location is to look around your immediate area at the vegetation that already exists- if you see one particular spot that has taller or greener vegetation, plant your tree there.
2.Plan in AdvanceNobody has much success transplanting tomato and other vegetable starts directly into their backyard without first preparing a proper bed. If you want success with tree plantings you must first spend the extra time preparing each individual planting hole prior to the day your tree seedlings come in the mail. Simply flag or mark each location, terminate the weeds, then dig and backfill the hole. When you come back to plant the tree its roots will now have a nice bed to grow in.
3.ProtectionWhy spend time and money on preparation, seedlings, and planting day to come back weeks later and find your tree has been eaten by deer or your cousin ran over them with the tractor. Tree tubes (a.k.a tree protectors) protect newly planted seedlings from all sorts of damaging agents AND increase growth rates. Tree protection is a no-brainer.
4.Don't Overdo ItUnless you are going big and reforesting large acreage, consider planting no more trees than you have time to individually visit at least 2-3 times per growing season for the first three years. For the guy who lives ten minutes down the road from their property, that may be as many as 400-500 trees. If whatever reason you may not have as much spare time to intensively manage your planted trees, 20 trees a year may be your lucky number. The point is, all of the seedlings you plant deserve to be intensively managed so they'll quickly become well on their way to heavy crops for you and your wildlife.

As a triathlete, Mary Eggers logs plenty of time on her bicycle.
But after her friend, Fairport teacher Heather Boyum, was killed in July while riding in Penfield, Eggers had been hesitant to take to the road. It didn't help that, shortly after the Boyum tragedy, another of Eggers' friends was run off the road by a large truck. For several weeks, Eggers rode indoors on a trainer.
But Boyum's tragic death inspired Eggers and several other area cyclists to start talking about staying safe on the roads. As interest grew, the approach shifted from a group discussion to a general meeting with presentations from speakers including MVP Health Care cycling team director Todd Scheske and Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn. The meeting was last Thursday.
Cyclists have the legal right to ride on roads — with some exceptions, like expressways — but they are obligated to ride single file, to ride with traffic, and to obey traffic signals and stop signs.
Eggers says improving the road environment for cyclists may come down to educating drivers, increasing awareness about the presence of cyclists on roads, and reminding cyclists to check their own behavior.
"You hope that people are going to listen to the message and change their behavior," Eggers says.
Cyclists should also report experiences like being run off the road to law enforcement, she says. Many cyclists may just brush-off the incident and go back to riding, Eggers says, but police do want to know when drivers behave dangerously toward cyclists.

Freehold Purchase – Advice for Freeholders
Most landlords are aware that freehold reversionary interests are a valuable investment, but few in our experience are aware of the impact of statutory legislation and the associated valuation procedures, that must be considered, if the leaseholders serve formal notice to acquire the freehold.
It is fair to say that many landlords have no interest in selling their freeholds voluntarily and do not welcome enquiries from leaseholders. However since 1993 the law has changed. Subject to certain qualifying criteria, long leaseholders can ultimately force a landlord to sell the freehold. Consequently whenever a query is received it is imperative that sound professional advice is obtained.
The rules, much to the annoyance of some landlords have been adjusted to help more leaseholders become joint owners of their freehold.
In brief at least 50% of the long leaseholders must be in agreement to acquire the freehold. In addition at least two-thirds of the flats must be sold on long leases. These are the two main considerations, although there are other factors that may need to be taken into account.
Please contact us so that we can assess your tenants' statutory rights.
Valuation Matters
The valuation issues are fairly complex, but briefly the landlord (freeholder) is entitled to compensation for:
- Loss of the ground rent income, which is payable under the terms of the lease.
- Loss of the right to the reversionary interest at the expiration of the lease. That is to say the right to receive the flat back at the end of the original lease.
- Where the lease has less than 80 years to run, under current legislation, the landlord is entitled to a 50% share of any additional value (marriage value), which results from the merging of the new and old leases. This is more precisely the difference between the freehold value of the flat and the combined value of the landlords and leaseholders existing interests prior to the grant of the lease extension.
There is an additional head of claim entitled "other losses". Generally most claims will not provide for any compensation to be paid under this heading. However there may be instances where for example the landlord has retained part of property, for example the roof space, or an outbuilding, or maybe he has retained a flat within the development. Any such issues and others will need to be considered.
I have received an enquiry to sell a freehold! What action do I take?
Whether you welcome your leaseholder(s) enquiry or not, doing nothing is not an option. Some landlords have found to their considerable cost, that ignoring formal Notices has resulted in their tenants acquiring the freehold at a lesser sum than it's true value.
In the majority of cases, we will be able to provide you with comprehensive valuation advice at no direct cost to yourself. This is because the legislation provides for the leaseholders to meet the professional costs of the landlord, following service of a Section 13 Notice of Claim under the Leasehold Reform, Housing & Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended). Alternatively if a formal Notice of Claim has not been served it will be the usual to put in place an undertaking to ensure that your costs are met by the leaseholders making the enquiry.
Our geographical area of coverage extends throughout central and outer London and the entire Home Counties.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — After surviving an intense, physical battle with the Memphis Grizzlies, the San Antonio Spurs now face James Harden and the freewheeling Houston Rockets.
With a leading MVP candidate leading its offense in Harden, Houston averaged 112.8 points in its five-game series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Rockets attempted 169 3-pointers in that series, making 34 percent, and were 134 for 168 from the free throw line.
Led by their own MVP candidate in Kawhi Leonard and a resurgent Tony Parker, the Spurs will have to match Houston's offensive output if they can't contain the Rockets when the series tips off Monday night in San Antonio.
"We don't want to, but I feel if we have to, I think we're capable," said Spurs guard Danny Green, who will be among those trying to slow Harden. "We have enough guys that can put the ball in the basket, especially at an up-and-down-pace type of game. I think most guys prefer it. I think they'll give us an opportunity to score more, we've just got to take care of the ball."
San Antonio has not faced Houston in the playoffs since the 1995 Western Conference finals, two seasons before the Spurs drafted Tim Duncan with the first overall pick. Still, the intra-state rivals are extremely familiar with each other.
San Antonio defeated Houston three times in the regular season, but the average margin of victory was three points in the four-game series.
"We know it's going to be tough, an extremely tough series," Harden said. "San Antonio isn't going to beat themselves. So, we've got to be mentally focused and prepared to go out there and execute every possession, every game."
Houston has capable outside shooters in Trevor Ariza, Ryan Anderson, Patrick Beverley, Eric Gordon and Lou Williams, but Harden is the focal point.
Harden averaged 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 9.5 assists against the Spurs in four regular-season games. He had triple-doubles in the first two games and double-doubles in the final two meetings.
Green and Leonard will likely alternate defending Harden, but neither expects to do so alone.
"We have a great group of guys that have a mindset of guarding," Leonard said. "One guy can't guard someone one on one the whole game, it's going to be a team effort."
Leonard turned in one of his most memorable performances of the season against Houston in the team's final meeting March 6. After hitting what became the game-winning 3-pointer with 25 seconds remaining, Leonard blocked Harden's layup attempt to preserve a 112-110 victory.
The Spurs' 6-foot-7 defensive anchor averaged 28.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists against the Rockets.
San Antonio will need is greater output from veterans Parker and LaMarcus Aldridge.
Aldridge averaged 14.8 points against the Grizzlies, down from the 17.3 points he scored during the regular season.
Parker, the Spurs' 16-year veteran point guard, was able to make up the difference by averaging 16.3 points and 3.0 assists against the Grizzlies. Parker averaged only 10.1 points during the regular season, the lowest output since his rookie season in 2002.
Some other things to know about the Rocket-Spurs matchup:
REMEMBER WHEN: Harden was on the winning end the only time he faced the Spurs in the playoffs. In his third season, Harden came off the bench as Oklahoma City beat San Antonio in six games to capture the 2012 Western Conference Finals. "He was tough," Green said. "Especially with Russ (Westbrook) and K.D. (Kevin Durant). Him coming off the bench, he was kind of like their mediator, I would say, kind of controlled Russ and K.D. He came off the bench and kind of calmed them down a little bit controlled the tempo a little, changed it up a little bit."
WELCOME BACK: Houston forward Sam Dekker will be available to play Monday after missing four weeks following surgery to repair a fractured left hand. Dekker averaged 6.8 points in four games against the Spurs this season.
LIVING OUT LOUD: The Rockets have not faced the Spurs in the postseason in more than two decades, but many of their players have. So, they know what to expect from the sold-out crowd at the AT&T Center. "It's pretty loud in there," Harden said. "Those fans are extremely loyal to their team and they're going to be there cheering their team on to the highest level. So, we can't let that affect us."

Donald Trump's victory causes stocks to fall, then rise back up enormously.
On Tuesday night, after the world discovered that Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States, U.S. stocks plummeted. The next day, however, things turned around. According to Time Magazine, "U.S. stocks rose sharply" on Wednesday, signalling that perhaps the economy will be able to sustain the reign of Trump. Most of the industries that rose in stock were ones mentioned by Donald Trump during his campaign, such as the banks (he wants to deregulate them) and the pharmaceutical industry (he's vowed to repeal Obamacare).
In other Trump news, the president-elect has launched his official transition website (greatagain.gov), which features a very obviously photoshopped photo of the Donald. It has the vibe of an official North Korean state portrait, with a little bit of Instagram thot filter for good measure. We've put a screenshot from the website and the original photo (pre-Photoshop) for y'all to investigate in the above gallery. Grief is good, good is grief.

The Chicago Cubs have been in the news lately relating to its legal battle over its new advertising signs with the surrounding rooftop bars and investors. However, the Chicago Cubs have also initiated a brand new lawsuit against Whole Foods Marked IP LP.
Whole Foods recently applied for the word mark "LITTLE CUBBIES" for use in connection with breakfast cereals. On April 2, 2015, the Chicago Cubs launched a Notice of Opposition—a proceeding where a third-party can attempt to stop a trademark from becoming federally registered—citing a plethora of its federal registrations as grounds for the Opposition.
As you probably guessed, the Chicago Cubs do not have a registration that covers "breakfast cereals," although they do have a registration for the word "CUBBIES." The Chicago Cubs claim the word "LITTLE" in Whole Foods' application is not sufficient to distinguish the mark from the Chicago Cubs' registered trademarks. As such, the Chicago Cubs believe Whole Foods' use of the "LITTLE CUBBIES" mark in connection with bear head cereal will cause confusion in the marketplace—the standard for trademark infringement.
There are a couple of lessons to be learned from this. First, when adopting trademarks for use in connection with your products, it is important to think outside the box for purposes of clearing your mark. This is perfectly demonstrated by the Chicago Cubs case. One would think that "breakfast cereal" is sufficiently different from any use of the "CUBBIES" mark by the Chicago Cubs. And while this may eventually be found the case by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, Whole Foods is now required to fight what will most likely be a costly legal battle to prove this.
Second, when selecting and adopting trademarks, you should be careful about adopting marks that are anywhere close to what could be considered a "famous" mark. The term "famous" has a specific legal connotation in trademark law, which is outside the scope of this particular post. However, marks owned by the National Football League, National Baseball League, Nike, or similar companies should be considered as off-limits to third parties. These companies are notorious for strong enforcement policies and have the financial backing to defend their marks to the fullest extent of the law. Importantly, for marks that are considered "famous," any use of the mark—even on completely unrelated goods—can be an infringement of the mark.
Lesson of the day: be careful in choosing marks that are even tangentially related to a national sports team's mark.

Accompanying video
There used to be a time, back in the good old days, where traditional karate and kung fu schools would have their students be conservative with the closed fist punches in the sense that you didn't see…
1) This rapid-fire flurry of multiple reverse punches thrown at the "jaw"( air) that you see in Krav Maga and numerous other "reality-based self defense systems"
What good is a (his)gun(that you luckily managed to wrestle out) in your (shattered)hand if your operational fingers are NONFUNCTIONAL from all that punching?
2) Boxing and sporting type punches thrown at PADS, heavy-bags, sparing w/ a partner etc. all WHILE WEARING GLOVES and HANDWRAPS(there's so many self-defense systems that are guilty of this, it's hard for me to simply choose one video off of Youtube…)
3) This slow motion non-sense that Target Focus Training uses. Sure, on a willing (dance) partner, every strike will hit with pinpoint accuracy a SOFT target that of YOUR CHOOSING, but let's GET REAL when you're being attacked and going full speed and your life is on the line, you WILL MISS, and you will MISS A LOT. YOU, ME, and everyone else.
Stop. Enough of this non-sense. Back than, you were to practice a reverse punches on a makiwara (Module 6) and a BRICK about 1,000 times a day (yes, several THOUSAND, that's not's a typo) and even than STILL, the reverse punch was recommended to be thrown to the BODY and a lot of systems advised against punching the head. And after about a decade or two, not only would you basically stop feeling "pain" in general, you would be able to throw a brutal, vicious reverse punch that COULD DEFINITELY take someone's head off their shoulders.
BUT, especially when you factor in the fact that warriors to soldiers would be wearing helmets and armor out on the battlefield, it really didn't make a lot of sense to be teaching punching as a PRIMARY method of self-defense. Also, keep in mind that there was a CULTURE about the TIME spent developing the reverse punch as a means of developing MENTAL TOUGHNESS(something that's lacking in a lot of the pussified modern "men" of today, and it was more about the JOURNEY than the end result. So if that type of thing appeals to you(congrats, you're one amongst VERY FEW people, check out the makiwara training in Module 6 of the SDTS.)
But the reason the liberal McDojos don't do all this is simple…
Follow the money.
When your selling memberships like fitness centers/gyms do, you actually want your students to be getting in their cars and driving on down and coming back week after week, month after month, year after year to your studio. It's very simple, students (customers) don't like to hit their hands on hard things. It hurts, it's not comfortable, and people would much rather hit air and pads because it's more "fun" and they "feel it more" in that they get a "much better cardio workout at their target heart rate" or some other liberal BS like that. It's simply a matter of meeting consumer demand and "please, everybody knows that calluses are so not attractive."
And to that, I say, as someone who's sincerely and honestly concerned for you and your family's safety and well-being, you should learn to be using TOOLS and TECHNOLOGY(pepper spray, personal alarms, tactical flashlights- see my youtube video here) to ESCAPE as Damian Ross will teach you in the drills found in 60 Minute Self Defense and to disregard the FANTASY being sold to you of being able to CONQUER your assailant.
"But, nobody wears helmets and armor today. And yeah just the other day I punched this guy and KNOCKED him the F#CK out, blah, blah, blah…"
Ok, let's forget the fact that he might be wearing a motorcycle helmet, and look at the fact that people today still wear heavy clothing and jackets, especially in cold areas, that are going to absorb a lot of the impact that a punch to the body would have. In other words, chances are you're not going to be able to pull off a Bas Rutten liver/spleen shot or god forbid a Target Focus Training(Theory) two-knuckle punch to "drive a cracked rib into his internal organs to cause internal bleeding…, blah, blah, blah" more human anatomy/sports injury science that's TMI that you don't need to know.
And while I'm not the type of guy that likes to criticize something that "worked," if we're going to look at what's optimal/ideal/ the BEST SELF DEFENSE for the AVERAGE person, it's heel of hand/palm strike and edge of hand. Plus, just think about how much MORE effective your punch would be with the added MASS/ WEIGHT and STRUCTURE if you used a roll of quarters(see my youtube video here) or SAP gloves(Module 11).
So now that you know this, there's two choices you can make.
1) You can choose to disregard the unpleasant reality brought up in this video/article, maybe leave an insulting and derogatory comment to make yourself feel better about yourself and this unpleasant reality, and go back to "your system" where you will continue to hit JUST pads and to train with HAND-WRAPS and GLOVES and to continue to live in your make-believe, fantasy world that your hands are actually the WEAPONS of mass destruction you want to PRETEND them to be…
2) You can drive on down to Home Depot or Lowes and buy a brick, some heavy-duty sandpaper, and get to work TODAY. Now the first time you hit your brick wrapped in sand paper, let me tell you something, it will be uncomfortable and it will be humbling. There will be pain. There is likely to be bleeding. But just like anything in life worth having, over TIME, you will forge your hands into something you can actually USE to save your life. Some methods faster than others(again, edge of hand, heel of hand), some methods a little or a lot slower than others(elbows, reverse punch, etc.)
At the end of the day, it's your decision as to whether or not you actually choose to use this information and no-one else will know whether or not you actually followed through with the training.
Until next time,
Hit the Weights. Hit with Hate. Seize the Day.

New wings for Chrysler
Comments: +
November 5 2009
Following a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, all-time low sales, and a new partnership with Italian automaker Fiat, it comes as no surprise that Chrysler wants to reinvent itself.
Yesterday the new Fiat-directed Chrysler Group unveiled its long-awaited 5-year business plan, announcing a plan to sell smaller Fiat-designed vehicles and pay back billions in U.S. bailout loans by 2014. The 7-hour marathon press conference also featured a presentation (PDF) on the Chrysler brand by marketing chief Oliver Francois, which introduced a new logo for the struggling car manufacturer.

The new logo was leaked earlier in the week after its U.S. trademark application (originally submitted in July) was spotted online. Clearing up media speculation in the presentation, the new logo will be featured on all Chrysler-branded vehicles, but not replace the logo of the corporate logo of the parent company (which will retain the Pentastar logo). Chrysler also announced its intention to do a 'complete overhaul' of its Dodge brand by mid-2010.
The new logo appears to be a heavily streamlined take on the previous winged logo, which has adorned Chrysler vehicles since the late 1990s. While I'm sure it's the intention of a company billions of dollars in debt to look 'streamlined,' it goes too far, creating a strangely wide shape (which almost feels like its been run over by a car). The odd size also renders the tiny wordmark featured in the center of the logo illegible. Although, judging from the proposed website design (below), it looks like the Chrysler wordmark will be repeated again below the logo in some cases (another issue).

Chrysler branding, a brief history
Top: Medallion (1925) and variations (1947); Middle: Forward Look (1955), Pentastar (1962); Bottom: Winged medallion (1998), Pentastar revival (2007)
Chrysler has seen their fair share of logo redesigns since the company's inception, beginning in 1925 with their classic medallion logo. Variations of the logo followed until 1955 when Virgil Exner's "Forward Look" redesign took Chrysler into the future, dropping the medallion in favor of space age arrows. By 1962, the company adopted the Pentastar which soon became their most recognizable mark. The original medallion logo was later revived in 1996 and sprouted a pair of silver wings after the Dailmer-Benz merger two years later. The winged logo can be seen on Chrysler vehicles made from 1998-2009, while the a new metallic Pentastar was revived in 2007 to become company's corporate logo.
With recent reports of Ford making a profit, perhaps Chrysler has a chance to turn things around—but it's going to take a lot more than this new logo.

Randstad US: Employee Confidence Levels Remain High After Strong Economic Performance in Q4

Randstad US: Employee Confidence Levels Remain High After Strong Economic Performance in Q4
ATLANTA, Jan. 28, 2016
– According to the Q4'15
Randstad US
Employee Confidence Index (ECI), more than one-third of workers (34%) believe more jobs are available and nearly six in 10 (55%) indicate they are confident in their ability to find a new job. The Randstad US ECI, calculated from the results of an online survey among over 2,000 adults and conducted by Harris Poll, measures employed workers' perceptions regarding the overall strength of the economy, availability of jobs and personal employment prospects. While the U.S. ECI dipped slightly from 61.8 in Q3'15 to 61.6 in Q4'15, overall confidence levels remained near record high since the survey's inception in 2004.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' October 2015 employment report kicked off the fourth quarter by delivering one of the strongest overall jobs reports in many months. Businesses hired new workers at the fastest pace of the year, adding 307,000 new jobs in October. Long-awaited improvement came for workers' pay as it rose at the fastest year-over-year pace since the U.S. emerged from the recession in mid-2009. November and December saw more of the same momentum, adding 252,000 and 292,000 new jobs, respectively.
Beyond the strong hiring activity and the lowest unemployment rate in more than seven years, there are other signs the labor market is beginning to tighten. Long-term unemployment declined by two-thirds as of November since hitting its peak in 2010. Also, at the end of November, 7.9 million Americans were unemployed, down 1.1 million year-over-year. However, economists say many companies are finding it more difficult to fill positions, and government data shows that job openings are taking longer to fill.
"There is no question the battle for talent will grow in 2016 as the labor market continues to tighten," said Jim Link, chief HR officer, Randstad North America. "This year, the big story will be wage growth and potential minimum wage increases. Although we've seen moments of improved wage growth, the big picture shows wages have been stagnant for most workers over the last many years. For minimum wage workers, despite efforts to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour, it remains to be seen if it will come to fruition. However, we already see many states and cities taking matters into their own hands and raising minimum pay rates. In fact, 29 states, plus the District of Columbia, and nearly two dozen cities and counties have set their own higher minimum wages."
Link continued, "We are advising our clients and partners to prepare for the impact of these minimum wage increases, because the reality is nearly 3 million people currently make minimum wage and another 20.6 million are 'near-minimum-wage' workers. Historically, low unemployment means employers have to work harder at finding quality talent, while existing workers have more confidence and options to change jobs in an employees' market. As our ECI findings drive home, this year workers reported their highest confidence levels in 11 years. For any organization that employs or competes with the minimum wage or near-minimum-wage pool, change is imminent."
Even for beyond minimum-wage workers, competition is expected to drive wages across the board higher. A byproduct of a healthier economy that continues to add jobs, employers who need to keep payroll expenses contained must increase how much they pay their workers to avoid losing them. In fact, for every extra $1 a company spends each month in payroll, it could get back anywhere from $4 to $28 in monthly sales, according to a study by professors at MIT, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and others.
