Gambling Issue
My boyfriend of seven years has always openly used betting apps I knew about this never said anything as I didn't think there was an issue.
When his loan finished in January we had discussed that going forward he should put the 300 euro aside for rainy day money, in general he's *** with money spends all his wages and never puts it aside. He agreed he would put the money aside.
Last night the car broke, its been on its way out for a while so we knew it was coming
This morning I asked him did he have any money to fix it or to put towards a new car he said no he didn't have anything.
I asked him what about the 300 we had discussed since January which would add up to 1200 that we should have.
He said he wasn't putting that aside so when I questioned him further he said that he's been betting the 300 every month and he doesn't know why.
I absolutely lost it and have been crying for about 4 hours now.
We have an 11 month old baby, were due another in 8 weeks and I have 2 older kids from a previous relationship.
Our relationship is good in general, there have been some issues with lying in the past that we moved on from.
I just feel so betrayed it wasn't just me busting his balls saying you need to do this, we had planned on putting that money towards a holiday, we knew the car needed to be replaced. It was money for things we knew we needed.
I asked him to leave but he's begging for another chance.
I really don't know what to do, I don't know how many more chances I can put myself through I feel like he's taking the P-iss out of me.
I know there will be some automatic dump him replies but has anyone any other advice, came through it etc.
If he has a gambling program he needs to go to a support group. My dad was always spending money on stupid stuff so my mom eventually put him on an allowance which he agreed to. His paychecks would go in the joint account but my mom took away his check book ( long time ago). My mom would give him about 100-200 dollars every 2 weeks to do what he wanted with and she budgeted the rest. If he wanted something big he would have to just save the money unless my mom thought it was something that they really did need. This worked for for over 20+ years. Its tricky these days with debit cards ect but maybe see if hes open to something like this. Just make sure he can't get into your accounts.
thanks for the reply. I have asked for full control of the money and his cards and I said I will give him an allowance.
My partner is a big gambler too! He opened up to me about it becoming a big issue to him as he was loosing anything between 200-500 a week. So I went onto all his betting apps and changed all the passwords and put a spend cap on his credit card and it seems to of helped an awful lot.. he still has a gamble but there's a limit on how much!!
It'll take time but maybe this could be a decision for you? Ide never just dump someone over a issue that can be worked on together..
Ide not leave when he needs me most as support
thank you. hes an amazing partner and dad my head is absolutely melted by all this.
I guess if I was in your situation, I'd only stay if I took over full control of the finances, at least until you had a good amount back in savings and retirement accounts. I'd also ask him to get a second job to cover the gambling losses so you have reliable vehicles and can build some savings.
thanks for the reply. I have asked for full control of the finances.
Hes blocked himself from the betting apps- they have a part where you can do this.
It hurts a lot because I just want to trust him but this makes it really hard.
See if he'll seek help. Or take over the finances and give him and allowance or his money to spend on what he wants. A friend of mine had to take over the finances due to her husbands over spending and it definitely made her feel better.
Oh, I really know what you're feeling. I had exactly the same problem with my husband. We had a very tough period, because I wasn't working, I needed to stay home with our baby, and he was the only one who brings money into the family. He was working a lot.. and it was just too much for him, he started drinking alcohol and gambling every day.. Even when the casinos were closed due to the pandemic, he found a way to gamble online here. We had serious financial problems because of his addiction, but finally he was able to get out of this. I was talking with him every day, and I was able to convince him to stop doing that.
thanks for the reply.
Im finding it hard because he says he will stop but then wants everything to be cool whats to be normal but I'm finding it really hard to not be upset with him.
There are many problems with a gambling addiction that pull a person down. I know this well because my husband was an addict for nine years, and it was a real nightmare, where we never had any money, and my child and I constantly felt poor and deprived. We couldn't even buy ourselves new clothes because Gary was constantly stealing my money from my purse. This went on until he found https://lambo2btc.com/bitcoin_live_casino and was finally able to work off at least a fraction of what he had spent gambling with the dishonest casino owners where he had previously gambled
My husband also had a powerful gambling addiction, and I didn't know how to deal with it. The worst thing is that he did not even understand that he was addicted. The paradox was that he played great poker and slots, and I didn't know why he couldn't win. It was the frequent losses that caused his addiction. He was nervous and played more and more and lost even more. I decided to find another online casino for him. Believe it or not, it radically changed the situation. After he started playing the judi slot online jackpot terbesar, he started winning. It helped him stabilize his psychological condition, and over time, he began to play more rationally and adequately.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America have fun with three different headlines, starting with the news that Florida GOP Gov. Rick Scott will run for U.S. Senate this year, possibly giving Republicans their best chance of winning that race. They also scratch their heads as Twitter CEO and supposed free speech champion Jack Dorsey describes a Medium article as a "great read" after it calls for all of America to follow the progressive path of California, says that conservatism must be thoroughly defeated, and labels Republicans as "bad guys on the wrong side of history." And they fume after former First Lady Michelle Obama likens the presidencies of her husband and Donald Trump to parenting children. They also get a kick out of Mrs. Obama saying we shouldn't look to make someone president just because they give a good speech.
The explosion of sexual abuse revelations in recent months reveals a much bigger problem than many imagined, and Americans are now far more aware of the sexual abuse of children from cases ranging from Hollywood to disgraced USA Gymnastics Dr. Larry Nassar.
And a career sex crimes prosecutor says parents can play a vital role in preparing kids to recognize lewd behavior and in helping them come forward if abuse has occured.
Stacey Honowitz serves as an assistant state attorney in Florida, specializing in cases of sexual abuse. She is also the author of "My Privates are My Privates," a book designed to teach young kids about where people should not be touching them.
Honowitz says the litany of allegations of abuse remind us all that sexual predators are not creepy looking guys in trench coats.
"I've seen in my 30 years experience that it's not that stranger. It's normally somebody that you know. It could be someone in the family. It could be a coach. It could be a rabbi. It could be a priest. Sex crimes really know no boundaries. Anybody can be a predator and anybody can be a victim," said Honowitz.
In short, it's often people that we instinctively trust who may feel the most emboldened to act in an illicit way.
"What we find is people who were so trusted are usually master manipulators, because they know that the kids trust them. They know the kids aren't going to report them. They know the kids have this bond with them. They feel they can manipulate the child so if they do something wrong then that child is never going to come forward," said Honowitz.
"And that's what we saw in Nassar. These girls never thought that this elite doctor who was training the Olympic athletes would ever do something and cross the line. So they didn't know to report it and they didn't know if something was wrong," said Honowitz.
That why she says parents must communicate with their kids that any improper touching from anyone is wrong.
"You want tell your kid, 'Even if you love [the suspected predator], even if you trust them, they can always do something to betray that trust. And you can never feel funny about telling mom or dad or somebody that you feel uncomfortable,' even if you think to yourself this could never be happening," said Honowitz.
With an endless array of after-school and weekend extracurricular activities, Honowitz says it is vital for parents to keep an eye out for some telltale signs of trouble, starting with someone who is spending more time than necessary with your kids.
"A lot of parents feel that if someone is taking such an interest in their child that it's wonderful. And I'm not here to tell you that every coach in the world or every person that's nice to your kid is a sexual predator because that's not the case.
"But if you see conversations, text messages, the person wants to take your kid when you're not around, tells you they're going to babysit or take them to the movies. If it doesn't pass the smell test or the relationship is just reeking of something that's not kosher, you need to ask your kid.
"'What's going on? Why are you spending so much time? Why is he giving you presents? Why is he taking you there? Why is he asking if you want him to babysit? Why is he taking you to a practice when you don't have a practice?'" said Honowitz.
She says seeing the warning signs is not as complicated as some think it is.
"You really just kind of need to be smart. Use your common sense. We all think this is such a major thing and that it's rocket science. It's not. It's common sense to see that someone wants to spend a lot of time with your kid and you're trying to figure out why," said Honowitz.
If concerns do arise, Honowitz encourages a clear, unscripted conversation.
"You don't ever want to say, 'Step one, tell me what happened. Step two, did he talk to you?' You don't want to do it that way. That's why the conversation needs to start early and very casual," said Honowitz.
How early should the conversation start? Probably earlier than you'd like it to and earlier than you think it should.
"You have to teach the kids, 'My Privates are My Privates,' just like I said in the book and no one is allowed to touch them, even if the person tells you, 'It's OK. I need to do it for my job,'" said Honowitz.
And she says teaching kids proper anatomy is also crucial.
"You have to be able to tell them, 'That's your private,' and you have to say it in the terms that are proper. So you don't want to make up a name for vagina. You don't want to make up a name for penis. Because you want them to know that this is part of their anatomy and no one can touch them there," said Honowitz
She urges parents to teach kids those proper names the same time they're learning where their eyes, nose, hand and feet are. Honowitz also says another good way for parents of young kids to communicate is to tell kids no one may touch them in areas that are covered by their underpants or bathing suit.
When it comes to encouraging kids to tell you if they are being abused, Honowitz says stressing that open line of communication takes a lot of power away form an abuser.
"So many times the perpetrator will say, 'Listen, if you tell somebody I'm going to do this to you. I'm going to hurt your family. I'm going to hurt you. You're going to be in trouble.'
"You've got to tell the kids, 'If you feel comfortable enough to tell me, you don't have to worry. You'll never be in that position. He's never going to hurt me. He's never going to hurt my family. But if you don't tell me what's going on, you will be a perpetual victim,'" said Honowitz.
Often times victims and their parents feel powerless if the predator is someone powerful or has a sterling reputation. Honowitz says you'd be surprised what happens once someone comes forward.
"Just like in the gymnastics case, there is strength in numbers. Many times when you feel that your child is going to be the only one it doesn't work out that way. If your child comes forward, lots of times other people will come forward because someone else has taken that step," said Honowitz.
If a parent doesn't know what to believe or has a child who often fails to tell the truth, Honowitz says to always bring the matter to authorities. She says investigators are skilled at determining whether allegations are likely to be true or if a child is being coached by one parent to lie about another in a divorce case or some other scheme is afoot.
However, Honowitz strongly encourages parents to believe your child and let the authorities worry about the investigation. She says dismissing a child's allegations can do great damage to them.
"If you tell your child you don't believe them, if that child is being sexually abused you cannot imagine what kind of secrets they have to live with for the rest of their lives.
"We saw it happen in Nassar. We saw one of the fathers didn't believe his daughter. When everybody started coming forward, he ended up committing suicide because he couldn't live with the guilt," said Honowitz.
Parents vs. The Left
The Charlie Gard case in Great Britain is stirring fierce debate over whether parents ought to have the final decision for their children or whether the government or children themselves ought to have that power.
But this debate goes much further than the UK or whether the parents of an 11-month-old boy ought to be able to seek additional treatment for their son. In fact, one of the experts weighing in on behalf of the hospital in the Gard case says the American notion of parental rights is now more the exception than the norm thanks to action at the United Nations.
"Unlike the USA, English law is focused on the protection of children's rights," said Jonathan Montgomery, professor of Health Care Law at University College London told the Associated Press. "The USA is the only country in the world that is not party to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child; it does not recognize that children have rights independent of their parents."
For family advocates in the U.S., that statement is troubling both in terms of its low regard for parents but also because it's not at all true.
"If he asserts that children have absolutely no rights separate from their parents in the United States, he ought to lose his tenure," said Center for Family and Human Rights President Austin Ruse, who is also the author of "Littlest Suffering Souls: Children Whose Short Lives Point Us to Christ."
"Children do have some rights separate from their parents. They have rights in criminal law. They have rights in inheriting money. Even an unborn child has rights sometimes separate from his or her mother," said Ruse.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child took effect in 1990. The U.S. never signed on but most nations have.
"The Convention on the Rights of the Child is one of these crazy UN documents that most of the world has signed and ratified and most of the world ignores it," said Ruse.
However, it's tenets concern Ruse greatly.
"The Convention on the Rights of the Child does separate the child from his or her parents in terms of all rights, which is one of the reasons the United States has never ratified it," said Ruse.
"It also gives the child complete access to any form of information from any source. It's a downright crazy document and it's a good thing the U.S. has never ratified it," said Ruse
Why doesn't the U.S. sign it?
"The main reason the United States has never ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child is the same reason the U.S. has never ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Convention on Persons with Disabilities, so on and so forth, is because they put us before treaty-monitoring bodies," said Ruse.
Whether it's asserting the rights of children or the superiority of the collective, progressive activists are outwardly calling for parents to have less influence in the lives of their children. In 2013, then-MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry sparked controversy with an ad for the cable channel that called for Americans to think of children as belonging to all of us instead of their parents.
"We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children," said Harris-Perry in the ad.
"So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the household's, then we start making better investments," concluded Harris-Perry.
Ruse says the end game for these activists is obvious.
"The endgame of the sexual radicals is to destroy the family. There's no question about that. It is radical individualism run amok. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is simply part of that," said Ruse.
"The endgame is to supplant the family. It's to supplant the church. At the French Revolution, the main idea was to overturn the traditional structures that kept people from being free, the family and the church. So this is all of a piece with those musty ideas from the French Revolution," said Ruse.
Trump vs. Regulations, Moving in with Mom and Dad, Obama's Return
David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud President Trump for aggressively rolling back burdensome federal regulations. They also wince at new Census Bureau data showing more Americans aged 18-34 live with their parents than with a spouse, a major shift from 40 years ago. And they brace themselves for Barack Obama's first public appearance since Inauguration Day and discuss how active Obama is likely to be in policy debates.

I believe this started this morning. She's about 1.5 weeks into the hold. She just seems to hang out on her side of the tank swimming around with her head down. When the other fishget too close to her, she will swim right and get away from them like she has been since she started holding. Actually, everything seems the same except for the awkard swimming now. Could it be she was hurt in a fight or something? Is there anything wrong with her or anything I can do to help? here are a couple pics i just took...

|Brontë family
Anne Brontë (17 January 1820 – 28 May 1849) was an English novelist and poet, the youngest member of the Brontë literary family.
The daughter of Patrick Brontë, a poor Irish clergyman in the Church of England, Anne Brontë lived most of her life with her family at the parish of Haworth on the Yorkshire moors. She also attended a boarding school in Mirfield between 1836 and 1837. At 19 she left Haworth and worked as a governess between 1839 and 1845. After leaving her teaching position, she fulfilled her literary ambitions. She published a volume of poetry with her sisters (Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, 1846) and two novels. Agnes Grey, based upon her experiences as a governess, was published in 1847. Her second and last novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which is considered to be one of the first sustained feminist novels, appeared in 1848. Like her poems, both her novels were first published under the masculine pen name of Acton Bell. Anne's life was cut short when she died of what is now suspected to be pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 29.
Partly because the re-publication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was prevented by Charlotte Brontë after Anne's death, she is not as well known as her sisters. However, her novels, like those of her sisters, have become classics of English literature.
Family background
Anne's father, Patrick Brontë (1777–1861), was born in a two-room cottage in Emdale, Loughbrickland, County Down, Ireland. He was the oldest of ten children born to Hugh Brunty and Eleanor McCrory, poor Irish peasant farmers.
Anne's mother, Maria Branwell (1783–1821), was the daughter of Thomas Branwell, a successful, property-owning grocer and tea merchant in Penzance and Anne Carne, the daughter of a silversmith. The eleventh of twelve children, Maria enjoyed the benefits of belonging to a prosperous family in a small town.
Though from considerably different backgrounds, within three months Patrick Brontë and Maria Branwell were married on 29 December 1812. Their first child, Maria (1814–1825), was born after they moved to Hartshead. In 1815, Patrick was appointed curate of the chapel in Thornton, near Bradford; a second daughter, Elizabeth (1815–1825), was born shortly after. Four more children followed: Charlotte, (1816–1855), Patrick Branwell (1817–1848), Emily, (1818–1848) and Anne (1820–1849).
Anne's studies at home included music and drawing. Anne, Emily and Branwell had piano lessons from the Keighley church organist.
Reading fed the children's imagination. Their creativity soared after their father presented Branwell with a set of toy soldiers in June 1826. They gave the soldiers names and developed their characters, which they called the "Twelves". This led to the creation of an imaginary world: the African kingdom of "Angria" which was illustrated with maps and watercolour renderings. The children devised plots about the inhabitants of Angria and its capital city, "Glass Town", later called Verreopolis or Verdopolis.
The fantasy worlds and kingdoms gradually acquired the characteristics of real world—sovereigns, armies, heroes, outlaws, fugitives, inns, schools and publishers. The characters and lands created by the children had newspapers, magazines and chronicles which were written in extremely tiny books, with writing so small it was difficult to read without a magnifying glass. These creations and writings were an apprenticeship for their later, literary talents.
Teenage Years
Around 1831, when Anne was eleven, she and Emily broke away from Charlotte and Branwell to create and develop their own fantasy world, "Gondal". Anne was particularly close to Emily especially after Charlotte's departure for Roe Head School, in January 1831. When Charlotte's friend Ellen Nussey visited Haworth in 1833, she reported that Emily and Anne were "like twins", "inseparable companions".
Anne took lessons from Charlotte, after she returned from Roe Head. Charlotte returned to Roe Head as a teacher on 29 July 1835 accompanied by Emily as a pupil; her tuition largely financed by Charlotte's teaching. Within a few months, Emily unable to adapt to life at school, was physically ill from homesickness. She was withdrawn from school by October, and replaced by Anne.
Aged 15, it was Anne's first time away from home, and she made few friends at Roe Head. She was quiet and hard working, and determined to stay and get the education she needed to support herself. She stayed for two years, winning a good-conduct medal in December 1836, and returning home only during Christmas and summer holidays.
Anne obtained a second post as governess to the children of the Reverend Edmund Robinson and his wife Lydia, at Thorp Green Hall, a comfortable country house near York. Anne was employed at Thorp Green Hall from 1840 to 1845. The house appeared as Horton Lodge in her novel Agnes Grey. Anne had four pupils: Lydia, aged 15, Elizabeth, aged 13, Mary, aged 12, and Edmund, aged 8. Initially, she encountered similar problems as she had experienced at Blake Hall. Anne missed her home and family, commenting in a diary paper in 1841 that she did not like her situation and wished to leave it. Her quiet, gentle disposition did not help. However, despite her outwardly placid appearance, Anne was determined and with experience, made a success of her position, becoming well liked by her employers. Her charges, the Robinson girls, became lifelong friends.
For the next five years, Anne spent no more than five or six weeks a year with her family, during holidays at Christmas and in June. The rest of her time was spent with the Robinsons at Thorp Green. She was obliged to accompany them on annual holidays to Scarborough. Between 1840 and 1844, Anne spent around five weeks each summer at the coastal town and loved the place. A number of locations in Scarborough were the setting for Agnes Grey's final scenes and for Linden-Car village in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
Whilst working for the Robinsons, Anne and her sisters considered the possibility of setting up a school. Various locations including the parsonage were considered. The project never materialised and Anne chose to return to Thorp Green. She came home on the death of her aunt in early November 1842 while her sisters were in Brussels. Elizabeth Branwell left a £350 legacy (equivalent to £30,000 in 2021) for each of her nieces.
Back at the parsonage
Anne and Branwell taught at Thorp Green for the next three years. Branwell entered into a secret relationship with his employer's wife, Lydia Robinson. When Anne and her brother returned home for the holidays in June 1846, she resigned her position. While Anne gave no reason for leaving Thorp Green, it is thought she wanted to leave on becoming aware of the relationship between her brother and Mrs Robinson. Branwell was dismissed when his employer found out about the relationship. Anne retained close ties to Elizabeth and Mary Robinson, exchanging letters even after Branwell's disgrace. The Robinson sisters came to visit Anne in December 1848.
Anne took Emily to visit some of the places she had come to know and love in the five years spent with the Robinsons. A plan to visit Scarborough fell through and instead the sisters went to York where Anne showed her sister York Minster.
Conscious and calm, Anne died at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Monday, 28 May 1849.
Over the following days, Charlotte made the decision to "lay the flower where it had fallen". Anne was buried, not in Haworth with the rest of her family, but in Scarborough. The funeral was held on Wednesday 30 May which did not allow time for Patrick Brontë to make the 70-mile (110 km) journey, had he wished to do so. The former schoolmistress at Roe Head, Miss Wooler, was in Scarborough and she was the only other mourner at Anne's funeral. She was buried in St Mary's churchyard, beneath the castle walls, overlooking the bay. C
In 2011, the Brontë Society installed a new plaque at Anne Brontë's grave. Due to weathering and erosion, the original gravestone had become illegible at places and could not be restored. The original stone was left undisturbed, while the new plaque, laid horizontally, interpreted the fading words of the original, and also added a correction to the remaining error on the headstone (Anne's age at death). In April 2013, the Brontë Society held a dedication and blessing service at the gravesite to mark the installation of the new plaque.

As legalization continues to do away with the stigmas of prohibition's past, the Centennial State's leadership in cannabis reform has also decreased local teenage pot use, assuaging the primary worry of anti-weed advocates.
In the first of the two government-led studies, CDPHE's 2017 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, state health officials questioned more than 15,000 local middle and high schoolers about everything from bullying and sexual health to exercise and drug use. When it came to weed, 19% of teens surveyed said that they used cannabis, down 1% from 2013 statistics, before the plant was legalized for recreational sale.
Since breaking ground as the first U.S. state to implement adult-use marijuana legalization, Colorado has focused significant effort on disauding teenage consumption.
Another state-run annual survey, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, found that 15.5% of adults 18 years and older said that they were current cannabis users, up two percentage points from last year alone.
As states across America continue to pass their own legalization laws and draw slices of Colorado's green rush tourism, it appears that a growing local love for ganja will keep the state's cannabis industry and residents mile-high for years to come.

Can Macs Get Viruses?
As a software developer and Mac user, I've been carrying out a great deal of research lately on whether Mac computers (iMac, MacBook, or Mac Pro) could possibly get viruses, and I thought I'd share a lot more of my research here.
The short answer is that yes, based on your meaning of the herpes virus, one Mac could get a "virus", no less than a starter virus. As a simple example, imagine that I send you an e-mail with an attachment, and you also plan to open that attachment. If that attachment is malicious, it may delete all of the files you own on your hard drive, together with your photos, music, as well as any other files you have personally created. If that's your concise explanation of the herpes simplex virus, that will certainly happen.
However, most people define the herpes virus as a malicious program that is smart enough to learn the way to transfer its self derived from one computer to a new to an alternative, wreaking whatever havoc it wants along the way. With this more proper concept of the herpes virus, Mac OS X information technology has not had a virus to date.
Apple Has You Covered
On Apple's website, they now show several large banners that say "We have you ever covered" in relation to Macs, viruses, and malware. There is a minimum of two primary technical reasons for their confidence regarding the deficiency of Mac Mac viruses.
First, the Mac approach of establishing a separate "administrator" take into account doing dangerous things alert users to some malware approaches. For instance, while my script can delete the files you've personally created without getting the administrator password, will delete all files on the Mac I would prompt that you enter in the administrator password.
That's not something you may be likely to deliver effortlessly, plus in lieu of these, my script would need to find a hole inside Mac operating-system that will easily grant me administrator access, and thus far that hole was not there.
Second, mentioned above previously, by definition, a virus is often a program that spreads derived from one computer to an alternative. Viruses jump derived from one computer to a new one using open network "ports" on computers. Network ports can be like doors, so when you already know, some doors are open, some doors can easily be opened, other doors are similar to bank vaults, yet still, other doors are like bank vaults but behind a fortress so large you don't even know they're there.
This last approach's what happens with Macs. Because all Mac ship which has a "firewall" enabled, no ports (doors) open, my malicious program can't easily jump derived from one of a computer to an alternative. And once again, even if a port is open, including when Macs are in corporate locations, nobody has yet had the opportunity to exploit a partially-open door.
Buffer Overflow Attacks
Hackers in addition try other much more technical ways to attack computers, typically "buffer overflow" attacks on systems (when a hacker sends more data with a program compared to the program is expecting), but without open ports over a Mac system, attacks like these need to happen through browsers or it could be network Macs with a local area network (LAN).
If a Mac ever gets a virus, you will probably hear more about this "buffer overflow" term, but again, nobody has successfully used this method thus far.
Apple Shares Mac OS X Lion With Security Experts
Interestingly, as I write this informative article, Apple has just provided an early discharge of their next main system, Mac OS X 10.7 ("Lion") with security experts. As the world of hackers, malware, and viruses get more and more complicated, Apple looks like it's choosing a proactive way of share their OS X main system with security experts as part of their normal development life-cycle.
Mac Viruses – Summary
In summary, yes, it's theoretically practical for an iMac, Mac Pro, or MacBook to get a virus, but currently, nobody has established the herpes simplex virus for Mac systems. Also, as stated, Apple is becoming more proactive in their approach by providing an early discharge of their "Lion" main system to security experts, and this is an incredibly healthy approach for them.
Most hackers these days are most often focusing their efforts on other approaches, items like "phishing" and "spoofing", eighteen, you are for your information using your browser, so at the moment, these are most often larger concerns than potential Mac viruses and malware.
Understanding the Apple MacBook and Bluetooth Connectivity
You should know whether your MacBook supports Bluetooth connections. However, the latest Apple laptops have an internal Bluetooth component. If you're utilizing an earlier Mac laptop without built-in Bluetooth, though, you're certainly out of your Bluetooth loop. Even so, you don't need to pitch your faithful Mac whether it doesn't yet communicate along with other Bluetooth-enabled devices! You can add a Bluetooth feature to your Macbook using a widely accessible USB Bluetooth adapter. A regular Bluetooth adapter sells online for approximately $30.
Your external Bluetooth adapter should have automatic data encryption capability, that may protect your Macbook if you will find there's a Bluetooth cracker within about thirty to sixty feet of the Macbook. The adaptor may link with up to eight other Bluetooth devices at the same time. (Come to it's similar to, if there are many of men and women within 60 feet of your respective MacBook Pro within a LAN party bash, you'll guess this feature is really important!) You'd expect any modern and high-tech operating systems like Mac OS X should have basic Bluetooth supports. You'd be right; however, Apple goes a measure further.
Your Macbook comes with System Preferences and utility software to help you get your Macbook linked with nearby Bluetooth devices.
Choose the System Preferences icon located in the Dock. With the Bluetooth pane, you can
- Create new Bluetooth devices. Just click the 'Set Up New Device' to open up the Bluetooth Setup Assistant utility, which sets up other Bluetooth devices for hitting the ground with Leopard. Read the onscreen instructions to configure a number of common Bluetooth gadgets (including mice, cellphones, keyboards, and printers), or you are able to also choose Other, Setup Assistant will actively seek other Bluetooth devices and adjust the settings so that those products are willing to party with your MacBook. Be sure that Bluetooth products are discoverable and in range (available for connection with your Macbook) before you open the Bluetooth Setup Assistant utility. Read your user manual to know how to set a Bluetooth device as "discoverable", the device needs to be about twenty feet away (or less) from a laptop.
- Set up Bluetooth connections. Choose the Advanced button to ascertain, remove, enable, or disable a Bluetooth connection, using a Bluetooth connection as a virtual serial port (for your simple file transfer) or as a virtual modem (for bidirectional transfer, including using an Internet connection through a Bluetooth cellphone).
You may also specify if a Bluetooth port must be encrypted.
It is recommended that you activate the Show Bluetooth Status found in the Menu Bar check box. Luckily, the Bluetooth menu allows you to conserve power by disabling your Bluetooth feature until you require it. It is quite convenient to toggle your Macbook's discovery status and in addition configure a tool or send a file. It's also all too easy to know which items are connected to your Macbook.
If you won't be linked to Bluetooth devices while you're on the highway, deactivating a Bluetooth service with a Macbook may help save power supply. There is another handy Bluetooth resource, the Bluetooth File Exchange. You have to launch Bluetooth File Exchange the old-fashioned way; just go in your Utility folder, within the Applications folder. It's quite similar to a conventional file transfer protocol (FTP) application, choose the Bluetooth File Exchange icon to go to the file selection dialog; then browse the file you want to send to some connected Bluetooth device. You can also elect to look at the file in another networked Bluetooth device in order that you know what are the user of that device is offering.
You might also configure your default settings for file exchange inside the Sharing pane, which is perfectly located at the System Preferences. Just click the Sharing icon then choose the Bluetooth Sharing check-box to show the setting parameters. Here it is possible to manage what Leopard does when you invest in files or PIM (Personal Information Manager) data with Bluetooth File Exchange. For example, with this setting, Leopard can
Ask you for permission to get personal files or Personal Information Manager item
- Accept any files and PIM items without prompting or restriction
- Keep all incoming items and files in a specified folder
- Restrict file-sharing only for the items and files in the specified folder when other Bluetooth devices browse your MacBook.
It is recommended that you utilize these default setting in Leopard for file exchange:
- You know when someone's sending you something.
- Anything you receive will likely be held in your Downloads folder.
- If you start the File Transfer, you'll be able to allow others to find out this article in your Public folder.
Even so, feel free to enable, disable, and adjust the setting to your heart's content.
The PDA Compared with a MacBook
You will discover issues a MacBook is able to do, that a PDA is unable to complete. You will find tasks the PDA can accomplish the MacBook can't execute. A single of these points may be the capability to go anyplace you're going, just by putting the PDA inside your pocket or purse. Clearly though tiny and convenient, the MacBook just isn't as effortless to only grab and go. The PDA holds info just like a MacBook, alternatively, the MacBook has a lot more memory.
As for comparing the PDA with a MacBook, it would from the perception be tough to complete inside the technical world was moving into right this moment. When the MacBook is more than the PDA it really is nevertheless portable as well as simple to get from your stuff location to another. On the other hand, while using the PDA information that is most certainly on your MacBook may be placed against your PDA as well. You'll have the ability to use the PDA everywhere you go, yet using a MacBook this may prove to become a dilemma sometimes.
A PDA can also be safer to employ inside perception, in case you might be inside class or organization meetings and need to get a number of notes, you can have the notes when using PDA quicker than you'll be able to utilize a MacBook. A PDA is clearly considerably lighter and carrying it along for appointments and function or other information throughout the day, contrary to some MacBook; the PDA is going to be lighter. Some laptops are becoming lighter, but none are however as light as a PDA.
You'll be able to also pay attention to music on the PDA using a headset just like a walkman, though it is possible to listen to your music on the MacBook also knowing that features a headset simultaneously, unfortunately often occasions you need to bring the media player up, which often would entail beginning your MacBook up. There are rewards for your PDA when compared with the MacBook. Simpler to manage and carry about. The info you fit on to your laptop on several occasions stays on your own MacBook, wherever as the PDA the info can be removed and put on a major computer and that means you no cost up memory for the PDA.
Viewing images on your own MacBook would surely be far better obviously because of the fact the display will be a lot larger, even so, you'll be able to find PDA's with very very good size screens and excellent resolution to ensure that the photos could be viewed effortlessly. Being held within the hand helps to make the PDA accessible documents as well as other programs which could be from reach in the MacBook or perhaps in some scenarios in case you can find numerous data within the MacBook it could acquire longer with the MacBook to load, whereas a PDA only provides extensive memory and which has a tap inside stylus most photographs, as well as other documents, instantly appear regarding the display.
Comparing a PDA into a MacBook have their own good points, and also to some extent bad ones too. Laptops definitely have extra memory which enables them to store a whole lot more records. And currently, they're staying created even lighter compared to they use to. Even so, as much as being portable the PDA nonetheless has them beat. So, a whole lot of people say you are unable to compare the PDA to a MacBook simply due to the proven fact that both have different qualities and capabilities.

John Singleton wasn't afraid to take a chance on new talent when he made his feature directorial debut Boyz n the Hood in 1991. As the seminal film celebrates its 30th anniversary, Singleton, who passed away in 2019 after suffering a stroke, told ABC Audio two years prior that looking at the success of the actors he helped "put on," like Ice Cube, was always a source of pride for him as a director.
"It's a pleasant surprise. I mean to see that people have had long careers and they've gone on to do other things," Singleton said. "Ice Cube has transitioned from being an actor-producer to almost mini mogul -- making a lot of things happen in different ways in film and television."
Even though Boyz n the Hood also was Cube's acting debut, the accomplished filmmaker -- who, at 24, became the youngest person to receive a Best Director Oscar nomination thanks to the movie -- says he takes no credit for the rapper's success.
"I can't take credit for any of that stuff -- those of really talented people," he says. "All they really needed was an opening in the business and they just ran with it."
One of those "really talented people" is Tyrese Gibson, who starred in Singleton's 2001 film Baby Boy. Gibson says he's "grateful" that the director also saw something in him like he did Cube.
"John Singleton chased me for five years the way he did Ice Cube, the way he did a lot of people that made their acting debut in a film," Tyrese says. "He was a visionary. He envisioned a lot for people that we may have not envisioned for ourselves."
He continues, "There would not be a such thing as a Fast and Furious, Four Brothers, Waist Deep, Baby Boy, Transformers," listing off his acting credits. "All of the movies that I've been able to do [would] be no such thing if John Singleton didn't see something in me that I didn't see in myself."

Jamshedpur, Feb 4: The city woke up to unseasonal rains on Friday due to the impact of a western disturbance passing through mid-tropospheric levels with its axis at 5.8 Km. Under the impact of an induced cyclonic circulation over western Rajasthan, it led to widespread rainfall.
The crisp weather did a vanishing act today with a few places experiencing heavy rainfall. " The low pressure trough in the lower levels of the atmosphere paved the way for unseasonal showers at several places today. The trough triggered by the cyclonic storm was resulting in heavy moisture inflow into the atmosphere," said an official of the Ranchi Meteorological Centre.
Several places including Jamshedpur and Ranchi woke up to overcast conditions. Jamshedpur and its adjoining areas experienced rain which was accompanied by wind blowing at a speed of 20 Kmph.
A senior Met official in Ranchi said the adverse system had blocked the free flow of the north-westerly wind and resulted in overcast skies in Ranchi, Jamshedpur and other places excepting the north-west region- Palamau, Chatra, Latehar and Garhwa.
In its 24-hour forecast both the IMD centres at Patna and Ranchi predicted rain at a few isolated places due to the formation of the low pressure troughline. " The weather condition is expected to improve only after the next 24-hours," said a weather analyst at the Patna Meteorological Centre.
Some parts of West Singhbhum, Seraikela-Kharsawan and Simdega district also witnessed thunderstorm and lightning activity early on Friday morning.
Weathermen, however, said that conditions would improve tomorrow and that dry weather is expected to prevail from tomorrow. However, weathermen predicted a fall in minimum readings by 3-5°C during the next 72 hours.
Dry weather is most likely to prevail from Sunday, February 6 with fog or mist in the morning and clear sky later. Meanwhile, dry weather prevailed over Jharkhand during the past 24 hours.
Night readings witnessed a rise in most parts of the state due to cloud cover and moisture incursion into the atmosphere. Rainfall is also likely to take place at many places across the state due to the impact of the western disturbance and an associated cyclonic circulation.

After a few minutes of imaginative sexual stimulation, she takes her fingers and slids it inside of her, licking her own juice and starts licking her tits. At this point in the fantasy, she can't stop myself. She starts panting aloud, imagining someone enter his rod of pleasure in her, very softly and start rocking her back and forth. As she runs her hands through her hair, she cups her C-sized breast in one hand, circling her nipple with her thumb. She finds herself muttering "faster" under her breath. My fingers go in and out with increasing speed. Her breath becomes quicker and more frequent. She feel a small twitch of pain in her fingers, but that won't stop her from exploding of pleasure. She goes in fast and deep. "Faster, faster…. Oooh yeah, that's it. Oh yeah!" she tries not to be too loud, but it's almost unbearable. By now she's fingering herself ferociously and fucking herself like a sex crazed wild animal. With one final puncture she ejects her cum as her body trembles in unbearable sexual pleasure.

Becoming someone that is not yourself. Have you ever seen that dream?
I am thinking inside that dream. Is this myself or not?
Is the dream a reality, or is the reality a dream? The answer that I finally arrived at is terribly simple.
"Either way is good, isn't it"
It's not a matter of which one is the truth. Both of them are truths.
~Text from "Barduk's Cage"

What is a Monstrum?
According to Wikipedia,
A monstrum is a sign or portent that disrupts the natural order as evidence of divine displeasure. The word monstrum is usually assumed to derive, as Cicero says, from the verb monstro, "show" (compare English "demonstrate"), but according to Varro it comes from moneo, "warn." Because a sign must be startling or deviant to have an impact, monstrum came to mean "unnatural event" or "a malfunctioning of nature." Suetonius said that "a monstrum is contrary to nature <or exceeds the nature> we are familiar with, like a snake with feet or a bird with four wings." The Greek equivalent was teras. The English word "monster" derived from the negative sense of the word. Compare miraculum, ostentum, portentum, and prodigium. In one of the most famous uses of the word in Latin literature, the Augustan poet Horace calls Cleopatra a fatale monstrum, something deadly and outside normal human bounds. Cicero calls Catiline monstrum atque prodigium and uses the phrase several times to insult various objects of his attacks as depraved and beyond the human pale. For Seneca, the monstrum is, like tragedy, "a visual and horrific revelation of the truth."
Make sure you subscribe to our push-notifications and never miss an update on Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Until next time, Happy Gaming!

As guests move through the arches, their movement powers the melodic xylophone soundscape and causes colour changes in each arch. As more people join in the journey, the music crescendos in intensity, creating a lush, orchestral piece that differs every night in response to the flow of the crowd in Dubai Design District.
