The Mac versus PC debate has raged on far too long and without any really meaning. With both sides claiming better function and definition, it seems like the two will always be incompatible. Unless you are talking about the MACBIN - Macbinary Encoded File extension, which quickly and easily allows you to transfer encoded files to and from a Mac with proficiency and ease.
Compressed files encoded in Apple binary or Mac Bin allow you to save space when sending data between users. However, in the past, using such applications had dire effects unless both operating systems were Macs. With the MACBIN - Macbinary Encoded File, you don't have to worry about where your sender opens his or her document. The MACBIN - Macbinary Encoded File works by first targeting a header, then relating it to the data fork and resource fork. All three can be contained in one Mac Bin document. Saved in MacBinary (or MacBinary II or MacBinary III), the data is then formatted and used to pass Mac files from one place to another over the internet.
Using a .BIN extension, the MACBIN - Macbinary Encoded File allows you to easily compress and compile files to be sent to coworkers and friends.

Backwards Planning for Learning v. Backwards Planning for Teaching
How do these look different?
Consider the following quote from General Ruben Cubero, Dean of the Faculty of the United States Air Force Academy.
"As you enter a classroom ask yourself this question: "If there were no students in the room, could I do what I am planning to do?" If your answer to the question is yes, don't do it."
In planning for teaching, the focus is on what I am going to teach, which is not a bad thing in and of itself, but the question we should be asking ourselves is "how do my students learn best and how will I know if my students got it?" Should we direct teach or use student activities? In social studies our students are required to know and apply a lot of content and this creates a dilemma on how to best convey this to students.
Direct teaching - If our focus is on direct teaching (which is not bad) – we have to ask ourselves how we will know if the students got it. Have you thought about this?.... Simply add a reflection question every couple of slides and give students the opportunity to answer with a shoulder partner and then call on several to share out. The key is to not make the question a knowledge level about what you just taught – for example: Instead of "What were the causes of WWI?" Ask… "How did nationalism and/or militarism cause World War I"?
Student activities – "These are great but I'm concerned my students won't know the material for the test." Having students engage in activities without a take away will not get them prepared for the assessment. Take a look at the activity – did the students walk away with something to study and/or is the activity accurately reflected in the assessment? "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results." (Who said these words above? Why is this person important? Send you responses to Dodie or Meridith for a chance to win this month's prize).
How to I make the shift to "backwards planning for learning"? As you reflect on the unit your team has planned, look at each day and ask yourself… "Did I meet the learning needs of my students and did they demonstrate to me that they learned what I wanted them to learn today?". If your answer is, "I have no idea", take some time to reflect on what small adjustments you can make in formative assessment and engagement to make the learning stick.
Martin Luther King, Jr Day
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Mahatma Gandhi, King sought equality for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.
It's a BIG decision and we need YOUR help!

Top 5 Things to Remember about CBAs
Many of you are giving CBAs in December and January. Here are just a few helpful reminders as we begin to gather informative data on our students in social studies.
5. Reviews are OK, but not ones that look just like the CBA!
4. Scan data into AWARE! It's important to have data on all students.
3. Any accommodations or modifications students receive on the STAAR/EOC should also be given on the CBAs.
2. The CBA should NOT be a test grade! In fact, the teacher can curve grades for the grade book when appropriate.
1. The results are a to be an informative tool and not a diagnosis! Use the data to inform you instruction, tutorials, and reteach! Discuss it with your peers in collaborative planning and across the district with colleagues.
David Brewer won the November Newsletter Challenge. He will receive a class set of clear protectors for his classroom. Congratulations David and good luck to you all this month!

Get our FREE IIFYM Weight Loss Starter Guide
Do I add back calories I burn during exercise?
This is one of those questions we get every day. "Should I add calories that I burn during exercise back to my total". While I can see why this is tempting, the answer is a firm, absolutely not! Here's Why: If you used the IIFYM calculator to get your macros, you already counted the calories […]Read More
Is it true that vegetables are a "free food" and don't need to be tracked?
Do I count vegetables in my macros or are they free calories? Out of the 200 emails, we get every day, this question is asked probably 5 times. Having helped over 25k clients per year lose weight with our macro diet plan, I can't even count the number of times this fat burning question comes up. […]Read More
What is the best way to start IIFYM after a low carb diet?
Switching from a low carb keto diet, to flexible dieting can be a bit tricky. Not due to IIFYM mind you, but due to the fact that when eating such low carbohydrates, your body has been trained to perform a certain way. Once you start adding carbs back in to your diet, your body might […]Read More
Which TDEE formula is best on the IIFYM calculator?
In step 1 of the macro calculator, the most accurate formula is the Lean Mass option. This allows you to enter your body fat percentage, which calculates your nutritional needs off of your lean body mass (muscle mass) rather than your total body weight. An easy way to break it down in to very simple […]Read More
What do I do if I hit my macros but have left over calories?
I founded IIFYM.com in 2011 specifically to show people a new way of weight loss. Not just a weight loss diet but a fat burning program that is centered around rapid fat loss while eating the foods you love. First with the introduction of our macronutrient calculator and then a few years later when we […]Read More
Should I subtract fiber from my carbs?
When it comes to IIFYM and fiber, there is no additional math. With IIFYM and weight loss, we base everything off of gross carbohydrates, not net carbs. Losing weight is all about the gross amount of food we eat. So, if your macro diet dictates that hit 150 grams of carbs and 30 grams of […]Read More
Do I have to eat junk food with IIFYM?
You can eat any kind of food you like while doing IIFYM. Clean, dirty, paleo, low carb, high carb. Anything you want. The key, is tracking your macro, and stay within 5 grams of your daily allotment. Go over on any single macro nutrient and you are no longer hitting your macros. Remember that it […]Read More
Why does the Flexible Dieting macro calculator tell me to eat so many calories?
The numbers or IIFYM Calculator spit out, are based on the numbers you input for your body and energy levels. Most people think these numbers are high for one of two reasons: 1. They really have no idea of how many calories they really do eat to begin with because they have never accurately tracked […]Read More
Do I have to eat every few hours if I want to burn fat?
Meal timing is far less relevant that most people are aware of. This is not to say that it should be neglected, however unless you are training for a body building show that requires ultra low levels of body fat, stressing about eating every few hours is hardly part of a successful fat loss strategy. […]Read More
Do I count the protein in bread even though bread is a carb source?
Yes. Count everything the you put in your mouth, no matter the sourceRead More
Should I adjust my carbs or macros on days that I do not exercise?
If you used our IIFYM Calculator to figure out your daily macros, then you do not have to make any adjustments to the macros it gives you. Our calculator takes your weekly needs and divides by 7 to give you a balanced amount of daily macros to eat. Please remember, that carbs do more than […]Read More
What supplements do you suggest?
1. Gender specific multi vitamin 2. Vitamin c & Vitamin e (water & fat soluble antioxidants) 3. Omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil or flax seeds (don't forget to log the fat with your food)Read More

Next week, the Affordable Art Fair (AAF) opens in Battersea Park on October 25, and the week after, a sister fair takes place on Hampstead Heath on November 1-4. The AAF, which features more than 100 galleries selling work for less than £4,000, was set up to draw potential buyers into the fray, without facing the often intimidating experience of wandering into a Mayfair or Bethnal Green gallery.
For 2-for-1 on tickets to the Affordable Art Fair, visit homesandproperty.co.uk/offers
The AAF's founder, Will Ramsay, was inspired to create the fair after being discouraged from buying a work by the frostiness of a gallery sales assistant. "Will thought there was a gap in the market, because there must be other people like him," says Romy Westwood, the director of the Hampstead fair. "The art fair is a testament to that — people think it is fun, relaxed and welcoming. They don't feel like they need a degree in art to buy an original piece."
More than 50 per cent of visitors to each fair are new to the experience, so the AAF explains every aspect of buying works, from the different media, to framing and placement. If you want an oil painting, you can acquire work by a young or not-yet-established artist.
But you can also pick up work by leading figures — Stanley Donwood, creator of Radiohead's intense covers, has a screenprint available for £288 with Tag Fine Arts, while Marc Quinn's darkly lush Under the Volcano, a digital print with silkscreen glaze, is £900 with Manifold Editions (right).
Prints are a vital but much misunderstood part of an artist's output, explains Alan Cristea, a leading dealer in modern and contemporary prints who sells work by artists as diverse as Picasso and Julian Opie. "You have to make a simple distinction between autographic prints and non-autographic ones. A lot of prints that come under the heading of original, limited-edition prints are in fact reproductions of pre-existing works," he says. "Alternatively, you do what I do and that is commission contemporary artists to do something in a medium that is just as original as a unique work, but that is in an edition."
Printmaking is a wonderful, time-honoured discipline, requiring artists to work with master printers to develop often incredibly rich and sumptuous images. In starting to deal in prints more than 40 years ago, Cristea says he wanted to "cover the world in original art, affordably", adding: "I love the idea of this democratic form." Many of his artists' prices start between £600 and £1,000.
Top tips for buying prints
This democratic, affordable approach is also found at Counter Editions, an online company set up by Matthew Slotover of Frieze and Carl Freedman, a linchpin of the Nineties' British art boom, who owns a Shoreditch gallery. "The idea from the beginning was very simple," Freedman says. "To work with artists who I had known since leaving college whose prices had started to get beyond most people's price range, like Chris Ofili and Rachel Whiteread and Gary Hume, and to make prints with them and make them affordable."
Counter produced larger edition sizes, so that instead of making 20 or 40 prints, and therefore forcing a high price, 200 or 300 were made, bringing the price tag impressively low "while keeping exactly the same quality". So, you can buy a Jake and Dinos Chapman photogravure for £550, a Rachel Whiteread laser-cut print for £750 and a Hume silkscreen for £600. "We work with exactly the same printers and there's no difference between a print of ours by Gary Hume and those which are in an edition of 40 — it is just that the price is lower," Freedman says.
In recent years, a wealth of institutions have cottoned on to this idea, working with artists to produce original editions. At Frieze this year, many of them, including the Whitechapel and Serpentine galleries, took a booth under the name Allied Editions. The prints are a win-win for all concerned — the buyer gets an original signed work of art produced by an artist under a leading gallery's guidance, and the institution gets much-needed financial support. For a brilliant non-profit gallery with a tiny budget like Studio Voltaire in Clapham, this is a vital lifeline — from them, you can pick up works by Jeremy Deller and Phyllida Barlow for as little as £125.
If you are acquiring art as an investment, these works are probably not for you, though they are unlikely to lose their value. Indeed, Romy Westwood sums up the best motivation for buying affordable art. "We want people [at the AAF] to buy original artwork and support artists, but also to find something that they really fall in love with and can keep on cherishing, year on year."
The Affordable Art Fair takes place at Battersea Park on October 25-28 and Hampstead Heath on November 1-4.

Rice ready for second chance
Goalkeeper Martin Rice is determined to grasp his second chance at Torquay after re-signing for the club.
Last Updated: 16/07/11 4:17pm
Goalkeeper Martin Rice is determined to grasp his second chance at Torquay after re-signing for the club.
The 25-year-old returned to Plainmoor on Friday as back-up to fellow summer signing Bobby Olejnik, two years after leaving the Gulls to play regular football with part-time non-league outfit Truro.
But despite appreciating his time with the Blue Square Bet South club, Rice is hungry to succeed back among the professional ranks.
"I know Truro is a lower league but it was still highly competitive first-team football and we played against some big lads," he told the club's official website.
"You learn from the mistakes you make and hopefully second time around will be better. I want to work with Bobby and help him along as well. If the opportunity does arise for me to play, I have to take it. I'm here to train hard and be the best I can."
He added: "Sometimes you can take it for granted that you're a professional footballer. I came through the ranks at Exeter, moved to Torquay and then suddenly went part-time. I had a good season last year but I found it tough. I was working on a building site from 7.30am until 5pm and then travelled down to Truro to train in the evening."

Weekend Weather: Closing the Door on the Deep Freeze and Opening One to Spring?
Only in Texas can temperatures swing 50 degrees in a matter of a couple days -- ok, probably not ONLY here, but you get it. Tuesday morning, temperatures across the region were in the lower 20s. I have nearly dead plants that were too big to cover in my back yard to prove it. Fortunately, for us and our plants, that will completely turnaround over the next few days as highs get into the 70s, albeit the lower end of them, but still.
From layers of clothes to flip flops and shorts...at least in the afternoon. Weather in Houston is certainly a challenge in the winter, but at least it isn't a "polar vortex" that buried parts of the midwest and northeast in sheets of ice and feet of snow this past week. We all love to complain about the weather here, but nobody has to buy chains for their tires and snow blowers.
In addition to the warmer temps, we will also get a decent chance of some rain, particularly on Friday. After that, it appears sunny skies are in our future stretching out for most of the next week.
Expect highs in the upper 60s to low 70s through the weekend with lows dropping into the 40s. It may still be sweater weather outside, at least at night.
The next chance of any serious cold weather appears to be a little ways off, so enjoy the relatively normal Houston climate the next few days. This is the time of year when we are the envy of much of the rest of the country.

Send email using Conditions on dropdown listAsked by sevin on June 24, 2015 at 02:55 PM
Question 1#
If i want a payment verification email capabilities that allow email verification to be sent based on drop box choice.
ie. if i have 60 locations to purchase services. If i create a drop box forcing new cleint to chose location. Can that choice dictate which email is used to inform us of purchase.
If you cannot do you know a service that can do this for me?
Questions #2

You can use form conditions to evaluate which selection is selected then send an email to teh specified address.
Here's an illustration of the workflow.
1. Create a dropdown list of the location
2. Create a notification email that you will use for the conditions
3. Create conditions to evaluate the selections, we will use the condition for sending email after submission.
4. Next set the conditions to sent using the notification email we set up earlier
I have moved your second question to a different thread as it is of a different topic in nature, it will be answered at this URL http://www.jotform.com/answers/596040
We have several options for payment processing ranging from paypal to purchase order.

we have been officially dating for a few weeks, he goes to jail in a bit for up to 6 months on charges I can handle. he said we should break up and get back together when he is out, i told him i am fine with it, i can wait for him, so technically we are still together, but he is being really distant. I understand he is stressed about going, but because he told me he is fine with me waiting, should i wait, or maybe he really just wants to end it? how to handle this situation,, any advice would be helpful.

The thing is I wouldn't make any promises, I know what its like to have someone and only have them on your mind but I have no idea what its like to not have someone often or every so often there for you in person, to touch to kiss to sleep with etc. So if my heart was into them yes, but if it wasn't a solid relationship yet, I wouldn't actively look but also I wouldn't pass up someone great if they potentially could make me really happy. I think he just doesn't want you to spend your free time waiting for him, then you'd end up resenting him if the relationship wasn't all it could be when he got out, 6 months is a long time and things change, even change on his end.00|00|0

Back in the 1960's, the then vicar of Selby caused a lot of controversy by preaching on the theme "God is Dead" at Easter, in a service which the BBC recorded. What he was engaging with was the then very young area of Radical Theology; in particular he referred to Nietzsche's parable of the madman running through the streets shouting "God is dead – and we have killed him".
I'm writing this on "Holy Saturday", which is one day of the year when that would be the most appropriate sermon title – except very few churches do a service on Holy Saturday. Yesterday was Good Friday, when we would supposedly meditate on the death of Jesus (the death of God?) if we ever managed to forget that we knew the outcome of the story, tomorrow we will celebrate his resurrection, but today, perhaps, God is dead.
I've been doing Peter Rollins' "Atheism for Lent" course this year. The course seeks to challenge all of our preconceptions about God, to deconstruct our constructions and expose those beliefs we weren't aware we had. Perhaps the ideal outcome would be to leave us with a child-like wonder, able to accept the pure experience of God without it being tied down by dogma and philosophy – but then, I'm a mystic, and I would say that!
Atheism for Lent is really situated between Good Friday and Holy Saturday, between the potentially violent destruction of ideas about God and the place arrived at once that has been achieved. Some of those taking the course (over 1000 this year, I believe) have found it too violent and have retreated, perhaps to have another go next year. That is much my situation with one of the daily "readings" for the course, which was to watch the 2016 film "Silence". I still have nearly two hours of that film to watch. Some have stuck doggedly to our existing conceptions and improved our ability to defend them against all comers. Some have arrived at a place of anxiety, where nothing is certain any more, and some have arrived at the same lack of certainty and found peace there.
I am not completely certain whether I've merely improved my ability to defend preconceptions or have found peace in the storm. I feel fairly peaceful, to be sure, but there are those pesky subconscious instincts which may not be completely exorcised – I know, for instance, that there's a bit of my subconscious which is apparently a five-point Calvinist (despite the fact that I've never consciously espoused Calvinism or, since I first actually thought about it, the salvation mechanism which leads to it). Happily, it doesn't make itself known very often, but it's still there…
I've been aware of the course for a few years now, but haven't actually done it previously. I'd thought that as I was already well aware of the criticisms of the "Masters of Suspicion" (Freud, Niezsche and Marx), and had read widely in the mystics and dipped into some of the Radical Theologians such as Rollins and Caputo, the course would not offer me much I hadn't already looked at. In addition, I "am not now and have never been" a fundamentalist or "Evangelical" Christian – unlike, as it seems to me, the vast majority of people taking the course, I started (after some years of Sunday School which at least apparently "didn't take") as an atheist, a confirmed rationalist materialist, and have moderated my position the minimum possible consistent with having a language of expression which would accommodate and express my mystical experience. Somehow the statement "it was a brain fart" which an atheist friend came up with after we'd knocked down all the more usual reasons for the kind of symptoms I described, such as drugs, physical or mental distress or psychiatric or neurological disorders, didn't "do it for me".
I also come via having sampled a lot of other spiritual traditions. Peak mystical experiences are very good indeed, and I started out wanting more of them, so tried the methods of any tradition which produced accounts of similar experience for some years. Those often required you to adopt a mental posture involving some theoretical concepts, so I became fairly good at holding those lightly, in much the way as you'd "suspend disbelief" while reading, say, a work of fantasy, or think in terms of a wave or a particle when considering the behaviour of an electron. However, my culture is Christian (or at least post-Christian) and my basic language of expression was Christian (some of that Sunday School stuff apparently did rub off…) and other traditions required learning new concepts and new languages, and I'm lazy – so where I've ended up is with a largely Christian practice and vocabulary. That doesn't preclude me asserting that "Atman is Brahman" or that "the Tao that can be spoken is not the true Tao" or that we should practice the "Willow way" (which is not a long way removed from "al-Islam"…).
I was, however, surprised to find that this level of engagement with the texts, among a lot of other people giving their reactions, was particularly powerful. I re-engaged with issues such as the abominable history of persecution by Christianity and it's encouragement of undesirable psychological traits and found that those still had the power to disturb me (though perhaps the most disturbing thought I had was "what if the five-point Calvinists are right?").
However, perhaps the most worrying thing for me was watching the reactions of some others. I've been discussing spirituality and faith with others for nearly 50 years now, and on a few occasions have had someone complain that I've shaken their faith to the point that they lost it – and as one of those people was my mother (and she never really regained it, nor did she arrive at being entirely comfortable with its loss), I tend to be reluctant to press too hard in deconstructing concepts where I can't provide a new framework which someone can be content with. Myself, I can flit between frameworks to suit the occasion, but not everyone can, and equally not everyone is able to be comfortable with an overwhelming lack of certainty. I'm probably not comfortable with an overwhelming lack of certainty myself, to be honest; I tend far more to the mindset of the revolutionary, who wants to take apart the existing order in order to construct a new one, who has something of a new one already in mind, rather than the rebel who just wants to take things apart. I may accept that there's always going to be something not quite accurate, not quite complete about current concepts, but I want the next concept to be a better fit to reality, rather than abandoning any hope of a better fit – which is what I see the rebel as embodying.
Equally, I used to say "I don't need to believe in God, I experience God". I may not be able to describe that experience adequately; as the week we spent looking at mystics indicates, it is perhaps impossible to do that, but nonetheless the experience is real. I experience God for some value of God unspecified, therefore. I've never found a way to make others experience God, however – I can't have a mystical experience for you, you have it happen for you and in you. What I have found is that analysing what is going on is the best way to stop such an experience happening, however, so our concepts can only really get in the way. Should we therefore deconstruct those concepts in the hope that we will then be able to have a peak experience? What of those who are left with nothing to cling to, with no consciousness of the presence of God? The closing benediction from Pádraig Ó Tuama ends with "And so, friends, the task has ended. Go in pieces to see and feel your world". Have some people been left "in pieces" but still unable to see and feel their world – or God, inasmuch as God is not already implicit in "their world"?
I hope and pray that they haven't. "Pray?" you say – "what to?" I don't know, to some value of God, I suppose. I doubt it can have any real effect, as the values of God which I can conceive and which might make that possible seem improbable to me. But I hope I'm wrong… and tomorrow morning, at silly o'clock, I will be affirming "Christ is risen". For some value of "Christ" For some value of "risen". May that be true for those now feeling cut adrift as well.

"Excellent treatment at QMC Cardiology"
About: Queen's Medical Centre Queen's Medical Centre Nottingham NG7 2UH
Posted by Hiker917 (as ),
It is almost three years now since I underwent open heart surgery for two new valves and a double by-pass at the QMC. The treatment I received was excellent. The care and attention was second to none. However, three weeks after the operation I was back in hospital with water retention.
The nurses were super. After another three weeks in hospital I came home a new person. I have no quarrel with my treatment from the NHS.

Hunan Onion Cake
Recipe by drhousespcatcher
Adopted 9/15. Note to self: Do NOT change. Adjustments: Wheat flour tortillas added, peanut oil specified and salt now optional
Top Review by duonyte
I learned to make these in a Chinese cooking class I took many years ago. We did not deep-fry these, but either cooked them in a dry skillet or with just a little bit of oil. (Sprinke salt before topping with the second tortilla). They work beautifully both ways, but I think I prefer them with the touch of oil.(I cannot remember when I last deep-fried anything, I'm afraid). Also, I also added a little bit of shredded cheese to a couple of these - most assuredly a non-Chinese touch, but even our instructor admitted to liking them that way. Anyway, thanks for posting

Tag: CBD tablets
The Use of High-Cannabidiol Cannabis Extracts to Treat Epilepsy and Other Diseases
These ailments can cause countless tens of thousands of seizures per week, while also impairing development in many of different ways. For households with children experiencing these circumstances, the challenges are overpowering. Because of the extremely intricate character of Dravet and associated syndromes, conventional pharmaceuticals are inefficient and frequently make the problems worse. With no other expectation, households have turned into high-CBD cannabis oil, which is proving to operate with amazing efficacy CBD capsules UK.
To explain, high-CBD cannabis oil is more non-psychoactive and seemingly even more valuable compared to high-THC cannabis oil. Cannabidiol is just another cannabinoid from the cannabis plant, such as the more renowned psychoactive cannabinoid THC, together with important research indicating neuroprotectant, anti inflammatory, antidiabetic, anti-ischemic, antispasmodic, antipsychotic, and antibacterial properties, amongst others. What's more, cannabis oil is a kind of infusion from cannabis. This oil includes considerable quantities of concentrated cannabinoids which could be orally ingested instead of smoked, maintaining the medicinal chemicals and letting them be delivered via digestive tract, instead of the circulatory system.
No additives or dietary modifications can do anything to decrease this amount. Charlotte's parents heard regarding high-CBD cannabis oil, and following actually the very first dose, Charlotte's seizures ceased. She now has less than three small seizures per month. This situation is nothing short of awesome, and it is not isolated. Monitoring 11 new patients of their Stanely brothers, the suppliers of Charlotte's high-CBD medication. 9 of these have experienced 90-100% discounts in seizures, and again, is just astounding.
The epileptic states that CBD is proving to work against are very complicated, and not even the most effective, nicely researched pharmaceuticals are effective at inducing any recovery. However high-CBD cannabis oil is instantly and potently decreasing symptoms, together with the only side effects being systemically valuable – more energy, better understanding, improved behaviour, and much more.
It shouldn't be surprising that outcomes such as these have been happening for several years. Exactly like research reveals cannabinoids are more effective against epilepsy, there's research indicating they're able to remove cancers and restrain other severe ailments. And in training, such as epilepsy and these other states, the outcomes are translating to people. This is as significant as it gets, and much more attention has to be brought to the problem.
As you can see, using medicinal cannabis is really important. This is not about relieving the negative effects of chemotherapy or enhancing appetite – this really is about placing acute ailments to remission, eliminating cancer in people, and improving all aspects of individual wellbeing.

More than $60,000 in computers and other personal items have been stolen from the Northern California home of late Apple founder Steve Jobs.
The burglary was reported July 17, but an arrest was not made until recently, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
More from GlobalPost: Steve Jobs unscripted videos released for free on iTunes
Kariem McFarlin, of Alameda, California, was arrested Aug. 2 and has been charged with residential burglary and selling stolen property in the crime.
He remained jailed on a $500,000 bond pending an Aug. 20 court hearing, The Associated Press reported.
Details about the burglary were scarce. Santa Clara County prosecutor Tom Flattery wouldn't say whether the items from the Palo Alto home belonged to Jobs or another family member, although he did say McFarlin was likely unaware of the home's significance.

"The best we can tell is it was totally random," Flattery told the Mercury News.
The house was surrounded by a temporary construction barrier in July. Work included replacing the outside stucco and trim on the home, as well as the installation of two electrical panels at a cost of more than $31,000, the International Business Times reported.
Jobs died last year at age 56 following a long battle with cancer.

"he went to the woods because [he] wished deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life..."(196).
-Henry David Thoreau
Sunday afternoon I ventured into the small but fascinating forest behind what used to be Newhall Middle School. As a kid, I always used to explore the woods with my little brother, but I took nature for granted back then. I realized that nature is more than just a place to venture off to when you are bored, it's a getaway, and a place to go when you just need time to think. As I sat on the fresh spring grass, for the first time in months I felt empty of everything. There was not a thing on my mind. The serenity of nature fascinates me. As I took in deep breath of fresh air, I felt like I was part of the wild life. The calmness of the crisp, windy air reminded me a lot of summer. There was not a care in the world, I wasn't worrying about anything. I could have stayed out there for forever. I chose to spend an hour in the woods because I've always taken wild like for granted and this short experience has taught me that nature is a getaway. A getaway when you are stressed or when you just need time for yourself. The definition of beauty is the quality present in a thing or person that give intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind. I believe that the definition of beauty describes nature perfectly. Nature is life changing and it blows my mind that people take it for granted. You don't live forever so might as well enjoy it while you can.
Nature is beautiful

People hate Microsoft so much?
Could anybody please elaborate, sorry random question I know but ...
25 Replies
Nov 10, 2009 at 2:22 UTC
has a pretty good article addressing this very question.
Nov 10, 2009 at 2:24 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
1) Because they are huge and successful which always breeds jealously and an unnatural desire to hate anything that has succeeded more than ourselves.
2) Because everyone uses them so they are the generic choice and people are sick of being identified along with grandmothers and every other random person who also uses Windows just because it is there and not because they actually thought it through and picked the right product for them. It doesn't distinguish you in any way, you're just part of the mob.
3) Because of Microsoft's questionalble lock in and anti-competitive practices. Microsoft is often a great company but sometimes steps over the line and does some serious industry damage. It is hard for any company with so much money and such a massive marketshare to always do things correctly. MS does better than most companies in that position. Far better than Apple would, that is for sure.
But mostly, just jealousy.
Nov 10, 2009 at 2:25 UTC
don't forget windows BOB! that is reason enough to hate them. Although i don't. Where is Teckonc when you need him to share his windows bob expertise?

Steve Ballmer also does nothing to engender sympathy for the company. After Carly Fiorina, he is the worst leader in IT ever. This is a guy whose simple presence at the helm turns companies against them. Ballmer's insane condemnations of anyone (and Microsoft is one of them) using open source for anything as being pure evil does nothing to make anyone like Ballmer or the company giving him gobs of money to smear their name to their user base.
Steve Ballmer makes every Microsoft customer feel dirty and believe that deep down Microsoft must really, really hate them even if they do pay for all of the products that they use (and some that they don't.)
Nov 10, 2009 at 2:28 UTC
My biggest gripe with MS is the crazy licensing involved with alot of thier products. I have heard they have more lawyers than coders. ( unconfirmed )
Vista is another good example of why MS is hated so much.
Fixes for security flaws are not always released as quickly as they should be.
Programs like "Genuine Advantage Notification" certainly don't help.
Also, I think MS represents "the Man" and if MS was not on top of the pc/business software world, we would hate whoever was around to take their place.

The reason why they drive me nuts is:
1) The things that should work but don't. Example: Rules in Outlook 2003. For no reason, only half of a user's rules run automagically. The other half only work when run manually. The rules are very similar, almost identical, but they just simply don't work. I do a search to find suggestions, and find hundreds of people in the same boat. Random things seem to fix the problem, except in 50% of the cases, including my case. Annoying.
2) You can use alternative software (Linux, Mac OS, OpenOffice, etc.) but you constantly play catch-up with the new file formats, or you wish you had M$ for one or two apps that yours can't do.
Then again, the constant problems add job security, so I don't complain too much.....
Nov 10, 2009 at 3:50 UTC
Most of the hate I see is from Linux gurus. I know some Linux guys that I have met at seminars or training classes that despise M$ - The only thing I care about, as I have said many times on this site, M$ has made me a lot of money and semi successful in my career.
Because I do not know Linux or any other ux very well, I don't think I could have gotten to where I am without M$. (and Cisco, Watchguard, Citrix, etc...)

When you're on top of the heap, deserved or not, someone will always try to knock you down. Don't usually do it, but it's a lot of fun to try.

My gripes are with the products, not the overpaid execs:
1>I've worked with MS since around the DOS 3.3 days and it ticks me off to know that every upgrade really isn't that big of a deal. It comes as no surprise that they really update their product is if someone else came up with the idea first AND the MS product is at a disadvantage. One guy told me years ago that Microsoft hadn't had an original idea since their inception.
2>What is it with MS Office being released every 3 or so years? (ie Office 95, 97. 2000. XP (2002), 2003 and 2007. Of course that doesn't count Office for Windows 3 versions b and c. I can't remember what version number but it came with Word 6, Excel 5, PowerPoint and Access 2 all for Windows.) I don't mind waiting for a product that REALLY is an upgrade. Adding a few features and giving the product a face lift doesn't make it an upgrade.
3>Bugs that run across MANY versions of their software. Does anyone else here come across a KB article that says "Microsoft is aware of the problem and is working to resolve this" and you look at the software list and see it goes back several versions? Hey folks, sorry the problems not fixed, but look, you can have twenty new typesets with your upgrade!
4> Arrogance. There is nothing special about MS products that you can't get from something else. Most of the time, it is free.
5> I'm not going to get into security issues. I will let other people do that.
Bloated, resource intensive products seem to be their trademark. (Hey MS, if you have enough time to put Easter Eggs in your product, you have enough time to make sure they work as promised!)
(Yes, I've been in I.T. longer than 15 years but whose counting.)
Nov 11, 2009 at 5:34 UTC
I hate M$ because they abuse their status.. they have all this money and dominate the market share yet their software is so shoddy.
In no other environment would you accept a peice of software, hardware, device or machine etc.. to just fail on you for no reason, and be considered normal. If my car engine suddenly stopped on the motorway i wouldnt pull over to the side of the road and restart it and carry on like nothing ever happened. Id be worried about the problem i had with my engine. for M$ this is routine practise.
I hate M$ because everytime they release a new office suite i have to retrain everyone just so they can find their old menus and tools - why do they keep moving them!
I hate M$ because they have more money then me.
Nov 11, 2009 at 6:42 UTC
I woudln't say I hate MS, a lot of the time I am screaming "what *!%# at MS came up with that idea" but software wise they're no different to other manufacturers (try Symantec for an outflow of hatred on the forums)
There is a lot of guys out there as has already been mentioned who are penguin lovers who just like to slag off MS, alot of them haven't used an MS OS for many years, but this has been around for decades
- Sinclair 48 vs Commodore 64
- Atari ST vs Amiga
- PC vs MAC
I've used MS since DOS 3.2 days, and sure they've done some pretty rough things - usually buying the opposition when they come up with a good product - but they get paid well and MS often improve it (remember STAC compression & where did Virtual PC come from??).
The biggest gripe is using ordinary people to do the real Beta Testing of new products (hence why most people wait for SP1 before jumping). But again, what other provider is different..... (and don't say Linux - 'cos no-one's in control of that as far as I can see).
Nov 11, 2009 at 7:00 UTC
I always say "If Microsoft products are really so odd, why do they have such a huge market share?"
The answer for me is: They did something (not all) right. And if it is just good marketing. But I think they have good products as well. Expensive, yes. But good.
If someone hates MS, no one forces you to use their products. Go to the CEOs, tell them you want to switch to SLES or Novell and Ubuntu Dekstops and Openoffice. I´m keen to know how many people will be successfull with their wish to switch away from MS. a) with the initial start of the project and b) in a two years time.
And that MS has more lawyers than coders is a urban legend I think.
Nov 11, 2009 at 8:08 UTC
I personally don't care a whit about Microsoft payscales. Not my money, not my business.
I've been around long enough to use everything Microsoft has put out in terms of an operating system and once Windows was introduced I have felt, and still do, the the univers has unwillingly signed up to be Miscrosoft's Beta tester. Some of their products have been great and some should never have been foisted onto the public. If something is DOA from the company, bury your mistakes in private. Don't send them out.
I live in a Microsoft environment and don't see that changing in the near future but I would prefer to not worry - every day - about being sabotaged by thier operating systems.
Nov 11, 2009 at 9:44 UTC
I like to talk about hating them, but I don't really. They are what they are. They were in the right place at the right time, they took advantage of opportunities that many times were, if not really illegal, morally and ethically questionable, and they have always had superb marketing.
What I really don't appreciate is that their marketing caused a disproportionate ownership of marketshare which caused software companies to write almost exclusively for the Windows platform. That has kept competition squelched which has hurt the industry in the long run.
Anyone remember OS/2? A far superior operating system that died because of horrible marketing on IBM's part which then opened the door wide open for NT 3.51. Salesmanship is where Microsoft has excelled, not from better product or originality.
What I DO hate is that they have almost single handedly made it so easy for anyone and everyone to fire up a complex piece of equipment with no prior training and no appreciation of what they are actually doing which has opened the door for botnets, security issues, spam generation and the like. Which has made our collective lives that much more difficult.
Luckily for my well being, the LInux community and FOSS has breathed new life into day to day computing to keep me sane, toned and sharp.
Oh, and BOB really did suck.
Nov 11, 2009 at 10:46 UTC
I'm gonna go with the stupidly large company practically dictating what the rest of the world does with their computers complete with the sheer horror that is Internet Explorer for this one.
Whilst I don't hate them really, I do eagerly await the day I can have a flawless Ubuntu setup on my computers and breathe a sigh of relief.
Nov 11, 2009 at 11:07 UTC
Apple is worse!
Nov 11, 2009 at 3:51 UTC
All OS's have their goods and bads. I use MS at the office. It keeps me in my job with the little freaky things that it will do on a daily basis. I reboot my server weekly to run all the nasty ghoulies out of it so the following week will be some what event free. I do things to keep problems at a minimum at the office. MS products are good as long as you understand their flaws.
Which brings me to Linux/Ubuntu. I use this OS at home. Why? Because it doesn't give me the same problems I have at the office. Sure there are things that don't work completely right and others that are freaking fantastic about different apps. I use this OS because I don't have to pay for it, it runs without having to reboot every week. I don't have to defrag the disks. The OS does exactly what I need it to do without the problems I deal with at the office. Just a nice change from the office.
Apple... I have never used an Apple. I don't think I ever will. I have a part of my brain that has a hard time spending that much money on a product I can get a lot cheaper and do the same stuff.
As IT people we cannot be so closed minded as to "hate" an OS. This would be like us hating our jobs. If you don't like what you are doing then that is a sign to move along and find something that makes you happy. I for one welcome each problem I encounter from either OS I do use. It is a chance for me to learn and to grow. To make sense out of chaos. To be the IT person I strive to be in the future.
Wow these pills really do work. :)
Anyway I won't ramble anymore. Short answer from me would be that people hate MS because they have closed themselves off from many opportunities to learn and maybe they feel the have nothing left to learn and MS is just the big guy to throw a stone at.
Nov 12, 2009 at 5:03 UTC
MS OS are inefficient, produced by lazy programmers who rely on an abundance of cheap technology and not skills when writing software.
I remember back in the late 70's and very early 80's where programming had to be efficient to make the use of the minimal and expensive memory.
Also, as has previously been said, object to the MS policy of upgrading for the sake of upgrading.
Nov 12, 2009 at 12:19 UTC
Le interestanté!
Keep this going its quite interesting :) I for one loved Vista at first, hated it after 5 months of use. Windows 7 has kept me going though, been decent and then some.
If only I could actually use the RTM instead of the RC :(
I digress, keep em coming guys + gals! If I'm gna learn, I'm gna learn better from the best!
Nov 12, 2009 at 5:09 UTC
Jealousy. If someone could do it better then they would they can't so stop whinging. MS has revolutionised IT. I have been in IT for over 20 years and you have never had it so good.
Have a nice day.

Buick And GMC Sites Develop New Facebook Connectivity
Buick and GMC understand the importance of social networking and have set up online vehicle-shopping experiences that are socially engaging, letting site visitors build, save and share their configured vehicles.
This new type of connectivity enables customers to share with their Facebook friends who can post comments or "like" their customized selections. Both Buick and GMC are among the first automakers to provide customers the opportunity to deepen and personalize the shopping experience.
"We recognize that car buyers are not only looking for product information when shopping for their next car or truck but also use feedback from friends and family to help narrow down their selection," said John Schwegman, U.S. vice president of GMC Marketing.
A study conducted by Bereford Research that found approximately half of respondents consider information shared on their social networks when making a purchase decision, and that proportion was much higher among users 18-24 with 65 percent doing so. "By offering a connection between our web sites and Facebook, we help our customers get the feedback they want and need to make vehicle purchase decisions," said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of Buick Marketing.

This intro is better than the entire second season of True Detective. In fact, it makes me watch to see a Luke/Han season 3.
Imagine it: Han in seedy bars, Luke searching for clues to where he came from and trying to figure out who he is and Leia being a woman in power who's reduced to sexual stereotypes –– it's totally True Detective Tatooine!
Watch it after the break.
If you're wondering how this video compares to the actual opening, here's a side by side:

New Delhi, June 30: Imrana, the 28-year-old raped by her father-in-law and ordered out of her house by the clergy, has been left to fend for herself as political parties shy away from taking a stand on an issue that could cost them votes.
The Congress, which heads the government in Delhi, has been silent on the fatwa ordering Imrana and her husband Noor Ilahi to separate, save to say that the law should take its course.
The Samajwadi Party, which rules Uttar Pradesh, where Imrana lives, has come out openly in favour of the fatwa issued by the Deoband clergy.
And the BJP, the Opposition both at the Centre and in the state, sees in Imranas helplessness an opportunity to put its rivals on the mat with the charge of votebank politics and draw attention to its once-vocal demand for a common civil code.
Only the CPM has declared it will fight for her, in Parliament and outside.
Politburo member Brinda Karat said womens organisations are exploring legal options to bring an end to all caste- or religion-based diktats that hurt women.
We will also raise the matter in a big way in Parliament, she said.
The BJP described Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadavs support for the fatwa as a national shame and said the silence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi was even more serious.
This is a cruel example of vote-bank politics, spokesperson Arun Jaitley said.
Jaitley said the fatwa highlighted the need to bring personal laws in conformity with constitutional provisions. But sources said the party did not intend to revive its demand for a common civil code, put in the deep freeze after the BJP opted for coalition politics.
The BJP did call for a revocation of the fatwa, but did not offer to campaign for it.
In taking the easy way out, the political parties were acting in character. Two decades ago, Rajiv Gandhi had kowtowed to the Muslim clergy by bringing in a bill that overturned a Supreme Court ruling in the Shah Bano case and denied alimony to divorced women from the community.
But leading members of the Muslim community criticised the fatwa sharply.
The maulvis are losing ground in terms of popularity among Muslims, and they want to reassert themselves. They realise their constituency is rapidly shrinking ' a reason why they keep issuing such atrocious proclamations from time to time, said poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar.
Ashgar Ali Engineer, an expert on Islamic Studies, said: The clergy can only target the illiterate Muslims, who have not read the Quran' The maulvis are virtually ridiculing Islam and Shariat.

Allardyce eyes Dindane deal
Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce is hoping to make progress in his pursuit of Aruna Dindane this week.
Last Updated: 04/04/10 2:12pm
Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce is hoping to make progress in his pursuit of Aruna Dindane this week.
Rovers have been tracking the Ivory Coast international for some time and are hoping an agreement can be reached.
The African ace has spent the 2009/10 campaign on loan at Portsmouth, bringing him to Allardyce's attention.
However, Dindane is likely to have played his last game of the season for cash-strapped Pompey and currently finds himself in limbo.
His parent club, Lens, will be due a £4million fee if he makes two more appearances for Portsmouth, and the ailing South Coast club cannot afford to make that payment.
Rovers are hoping the unfortunate situation will play into their hands, as they look to strike a deal as soon as possible.
Allardyce said: "I would expect we will try to give a decision early next week.
"We want to see whether we can secure the transfer first and foremost and we'll see where we go from there."

" Brand: Serge Lutens / Type: Fragrance / Concentration: Eau De Parfum "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Launched: 2003
Group: Oriental vanilla
I happily throw myself on any fragrance produced by niche French perfume house Serge Lutens if I can get it cheap enough on Ebay. Founded by Serge Lutens himself in 2000 after a long and successful career with Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido, the company is known for using high quality, natural raw materials to compose exclusive and unusual fragrances that all have a story behind them. The nose behind the fragrances is Christopher Sheldrake.
Un Bois Vanille comes in a tall, rectangular and see-through bottle and brown cap common across all 50ml editions. The liquid is dark brown due to the genuine vanilla extract you can tell by just smelling the bottle.
Notes: coconut, licorice, beeswax, almond, benzoin, tonka bean, guaiac wood, musk, sandalwood, vanilla
Not all fragrances follow the classic pyramid structure of top, middle and base notes and this is especially true for Serge Lutens creations. What I'm picking upon first is a burst of sweet, natural vanilla extract aroma similar to my Vahina vanilla extract bought from the supermarket I use to flavour my soaps and showel gels with. Vanilla extracts are rich in nuances that range from caramel-y and smokey to spicy and honey-like. Within the minute, the vanilla gets mixed with a sweet, slightly astringent and nose-tickling, sharp note I identify and honey. Honey and vanilla are present in equal measures and create a gourmand, dessert-like accord which for me isn't cloying, sickly or sticky but rather naturally sweet and dark.
As if using nature's two sweetest ingredients together wasn't enough, some 15 minutes later a sweet and fresh milky coconut rounds out and stretches the gourmand notes further giving the vanilla - honey combination a tropical edge. The coconut is natural and gourmand and only serves as a backup anchoring note so there's absolutely nothing cheap or suntan-lotion-like here. The woods start kicking in about 3 - 4 hours later as the honey disappears and the vanilla mellows out to a more powdery and plush substance with a distinct cooking vanilla edge. The sandalwood tempers the sweetness and blends in seamlessly with the rest of the accord which now has a certain dark and almost smoky, caramely feel to it.
I obviously do not wear Un Bois Vanille on a daily basis but on days when I specifically crave sweetness or vanilla, I put it on with pleasure. It's a safe fragrance to wear anywhere and almost all year round due to its smooth and gently flowing quality, like liquid silk. Its evolution is fairly linear and definitely stays true to itself. It doesn't offend and certainly never shouts but boy you know it's there. It's sweet and gourmand but never gets syrupy or annoying. The only thing slightly missing is the smoky, balmy and resinous aroma of gaiac wood listed amongst the notes, which is a slight disappointment. Un bois vanille is a luxurious, high quality niche product that's miles and miles away from the hordes of artificially sweetened, commercial cupcake-y vanilla fragrances.
If you like vanilla-based scents and want a perfectly-blended complex vanilla perfection that smells incredibly natural, gourmand and niche, look no further. This is what Yves Rocher's Vanilla Noir tried to be but couldn't. The name can be misleading so if you're looking for a woodsy, edgier and less sweet masculine scent this might not be for you. I've seen this fragrance marketed for ladies as well as a unisex however its woody aspect is underdeveloped to suit a male audience. In my opinion Un bois vanille is a rather feminine, in and out grown up, luscious and high-end oriental vanilla scent that can be layered with ambery or woody orientals or enjoyed on its own for pure guilty pleasure!
Available in department stores and Amazon at full price ranging from £70 - £85 to £105 / 50ml Eau de Parfum. I won my half-full 50ml bottle for about £20 on eBay last year.

Singtel-Optus chief executive Allen Lew says rising competition among Australia's mobile providers is starting to squeeze revenue.
Optus on Friday reported its financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Net profit rose by 9.1 per cent to $227 million, while revenue increased by 6 per cent to $2.43 billion, compared to the same period a year earlier.
But the average revenue per user (ARPU) growth began to slow with each mobile subscriber generating $44 per month on average.
This comes after Telstra chief executive Andy Penn said he was willing to let his mobile service profit margins fall in an effort to fight off attempts by Optus and Vodafone Hutchison Australia to win more market share.
"Competition will always be aggressive," Mr Lew told Fairfax Media. "The key today is that competition is based purely on price, whether it's handset subsidies or whether it's more data allowances.
"Because of the heavy competition existing, customers coming to the end of their contracts are recontracting at either lower plans or not using as much data when exceeding their bundles, and I think that's affecting average revenue per user."
Added content
Mr Lew said his response was to use content offers to get customers to sign up and spend more. It spent $189 million over three years to buy the exclusive rights for Australian broadcasts of the English Premier League in November 2015.
Optus recently paid $196 million to buy the 1800MHz spectrum, which is the electronic airspace needed to deliver mobile services. This will help increase the company's reach in regional Australia.
"As we start to bring in differentiators that are not price-based, hopefully the price competition will move to other dimensions of competition and we will have an opportunity to see what that does to ARPU," he said. "At the end of the day we've all made huge investments in spectrum and infrastructure and our shareholders require a rate of return."
The number of valuable post-paid subscribers at Optus has risen by 2.9 per cent to 4.69 million over the past 12 months. However, the telco's total pool of mobile users fell compared to the same time last year, from 9.39 million in December 2014 to 9.37 million in December 2015.
This was largely due to a deliberate strategy of increasing the data available on mobile phone plans, which have cannibalised the subscriber base. Mr Lew added that the carrier was subsidising the cost of Apple iPhones for customers on contracts, which added to costs.
TPG Telecom's decision to move its mobile customers from Optus' wholesale network to Vodafone Hutchison Australia has also pushed thousands of users away. But Mr Lew said this was a one-off reduction that would likely be completed over the next three months.
Optus is also increasing its share of the national broadband network market thanks to its strategy of bundling internet services with entertainment products.
It has around 88,000 NBN customers with 17,000 added over the past three months alone.
"Our longer term focus is absolutely to move customers onto the NBN," Mr Lew said. "And you can see from our results that we've got a lot of traction there."

There has never been a sporting event embroiled in more controversies than the upcoming FIFA World Cup, yet fans aren't canceling plans to be part of the mega event in Brazil.
The situation on the streets of major Brazilian cities has deteriorated to the point that just last week, Brazilian sports minister Aldo Rebelo admitted there could be major security issues at the World Cup.
For a high ranking official of the host nation to admit such a thing is not just rare -- it's unprecedented. However, even without Rebelo's confession, enough stories have come out of Brazil in the past two years to convince even the bravest of fans to abandon their travel plans.
Only this time, no such thing is happening, and authorities still expect an influx of around half a million fans between now and July.
The media are baffled over the determination of fans, who are paying no heed to reports of violent clashes and mass protests in the region. But a look back at history will show that the media themselves are to blame for desensitizing the fans.
Before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the 2012 European Championships in Ukraine/Poland, large-scale propaganda was created against the host nations. Both the tournaments went ahead without any major controversy, leaving those who had canceled their plans based on inaccurate reports regretful of their decision.
The chief culprit in the case of Euro 2012 was a BBC Panorama documentary that depicted Ukraine and Poland as extremely racist and xenophobic countries, which turned out to be totally untrue.
The problems of Brazil, however, are of a different nature and possibly even more stark than portrayed. Check these out:
Take a look at this subway station in Sao Paolo which is so crowded on a normal day, it's no joke. Add the World Cup crowd to it, and it becomes a stampede waiting to happen.
The transportation infrastructure in Brazil is widely believed to be the worst in a country of its size and stature. It was also the fundamental cause of the protest.
If you think Brazil's anti-World Cup protests are nothing to be feared, you may not have seen the images down below. It has been reported that so far these protests have collectively drawn 2 million people on streets, with a maximum of 300,000 people present at one location at the same time.
Violent Clashes
Slums in Brazil are infested with drugs and criminals. Favela relocations to facilitate World Cup events have caused armed gang members to join in too. At times last month, Rio de Janeiro portrayed the picture of a battlefield, something which doesn't sit well from a tourism point of view.
General Street Crimes
Brazil has consistently occupied top positions in rankings of countries with the highest crime rate. Measures have been taken to curb the issue, but poor management on the authorities' part has caused more harm than good.
Institutional Clashes
Thousands of police officers recently went on strike after their demands of a pay raise were turned down by the government. Muggings and other street crimes are already very common in Brazil, and without many police officers patrolling the streets, the cities could become a mugger's paradise.
Rumor has it that several other departments see World Cup as their moment to coerce the authorities into getting what they want. Hence, more of these strikes could happen as we get close to the finals.
In light of these facts, it may not be the wisest decision to travel to Brazil for the World Cup, because no joy is more precious than the joy of life.
