From classics like Casper, the friendly ghost and Matilda, the lovable character from Roald Dahl, to werewolves and vampires, we have an interesting Halloween lineup for the family!
By Mansi Jain
Halloween 2018 is here and it's time again to dress up as a ghoul and carve the pumpkins. Celebrated in major parts of the world and now popular in India too, it has a lot of children excited. The love for horror stories, movies and innovative costumes can be enjoyed to the hilt this time of the year. Here are some interesting movies for kids to watch on Halloween eve to enjoy some sweet, scary (or both) tales.
The Dog Who Saved Halloween
Zeus, the adorable talking dog, turns saviour for the family in his 2011 outing. George and Belinda, along with their kids, moved to a new apartment and everything was going according to plan. However, they noticed some strange lights and sounds coming from their neighbor Mr Cole's house. There's something fishy going on. The story takes a sinister turn when a black cat goes missing. It's then that Zeus ultimately saves people trapped inside the haunted house.
In this 1995 film, Casper, the friendly little ghost, resides in a mansion. When Carrigan Crittenden hires a paranormal expert, Harvey, to get the ghost out of the mansion, the story becomes interesting. His little daughter befriends Casper and what happens next is fun to watch.
A 1998 Disney movie series, Halloweentown is full of werewolves, vampires, ghosts, Pumpkin Heads, goblins and skeletons that travel from the mortal world to Halloweentown. The story revolves around the family of Cromwell-Piper. When Gwen Cromwell marries a mortal, she leaves Halloweentown and later becomes a widow. However, she chooses a magic-free upbringing for her children and wishes to keep her kids away from Halloweentown. But how long can she keep it that way?
The 1996 film based on Roald Dahl's book centres around Matilda, a little girl, who is disliked by her own family. She possesses telekinetic powers which she uses against her principal, who tortured Matilda's favourite teacher. This is among the best family movies to watch.
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
This 1966 film is an evergreen classic. The Peanut gang gets geared up for the Halloween party. Linus and Lucy also prepare for trick or treating. While most children were disguised as ghosts and spirits, Linus waits patiently in the pumpkin patch for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. As a result, he misses the trick or treating party where other kids get the goodies.
Monsters v/s Aliens
A meteorite hits Susan Murphy on her wedding day, turning her into a giant, in this 3D animated movie from 2009. She becomes a part of the monster team, which includes Dr Cockroach, half-man half-cockroach and B.O.B, a living, breathing mass of blue goo. Their job is to save Earth from the machinations of evil alien Gallaxhar, who aims at bringing misery to the planet.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
In this 1993 musical fantasy, Jack Skellington, a resident of Halloween Town, comes across Christmas Town and is enchanted by its beauty and festivities. His obsession prompts him to abduct Santa Claus and leads to a series of unusual events.
Room on the Broom
The 2012 computer animated short film, Room on the Broom, is based on illustrations from the much loved picture book of the same name by children's author Julia Donaldson. A witch invites many animals to hop onto her broom for a flight, to the reluctance of her cat, who's upset by the over-crowding. As the movie progresses, the witch is threatened by a dragon. It's left to her companions to rescue her.
Monster House
This 2006 animated movie is about the journey of three kids who discover that a house in their neighbourhood is actually a monster. It's then that they make a pact to destroy the heart of the house.
Hotel Transylvania
In this 2012 animated comedy, Hotel Transylvania is a lavish motel owned by Dracula, meant exclusively for monsters and their families. However, one human, Jonathan, manages to get in. A fearful Dracula tries to prevent his daughter from falling in love with Jonathan.

"Why did they put the stadium there?" you ask.
This all started when CJ asked which three baseball stadiums formed the smallest triangle. And we agreed it had to be the Brewers, the White Sox, and the Cubs, because Milwaukee and Chicago are really close together.
But it seems like cheating to use two teams in the same city. The most elegant way to forbid that is to ask the question one league at a time. Which three American League parks form the smallest triangle? And what about the National League?
First of all, what does "smallest" mean? There are lots of choices, but (perhaps inspired by the summer we played a lot of Ingress) we asked for the triangle with the smallest area. Which means you don't just want the parks to be close together, you want them to be almost collinear!
I asked on Twitter and got lots of proposed answers. But it wasn't obvious to…

Police in Msambweni district are searching for four suspected poachers who were spotted at Mwereni village last Wednesday. Msambweni deputy county commissioner Benjamin Leparmorijo said the four escaped to an unknown place.
He said the four are well known poachers and asked residents to provide information of their whereabouts. Leparmorijo was speaking at Makongeni Primary School on Thursday during the signing of a forest management agreement between Gazi community and Kenya Forest Service.
He reminded the residents that it will be of no use to release information that can lead to the arrest of criminals after a crime has occurred. "Information is power, let us share it for our own benefit because poachers are dangerous people. They kill our wild animals which are very important in the tourism sector," Leparmorijo said.
He said the work of protecting forests and wild animals should not be left for the police alone but is a duty of every Kenyan. "Those four suspected poachers spotted in Mwereni will soon be arrested. Let us help each other by volunteering information," Leparmorijo said.
He said the police cannot secure everywhere since the ratio of officer to the citizens is still low. United Nations recommends a ratio of one officer to 450 citizens but currently it stands at one police officer to 1,000 citizens.
Leparmorijo said cooperation between police and citizens will thwart planned criminal activities in the area. "Following the Westgate incident, we have received alerts that they (al Shabaab) are targeting some places in Ukunda, Msambweni markets and the Likoni crossing channel. Our police officers are vigilant to provide security to all," he said. He asked the residents to remain calm.

[WATCH] Chaparral 2X VGT Video Will Blow Your Mind
For the first time in decades, Chevy and Chaparral, the racing pioneer, teamed up once again to design the Chaparral 2X VGT (Vision Gran Turismo) concept, which debuted this week digitally and in the flesh at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The point of the concept was to envision the future of racing technology, and, while the Chaparral 2X VGT concept may seem a little outlandish, it definitely demonstrates remarkable thinking and exciting innovation.

Why does it seem a tad outlandish? Well, for one, lasers power the concept via a laser-propulsion system. And the driver isn't in a seated position, but instead is on her stomach, arms and legs splayed like a bat in flight, with her head sticking out the front and with her helmet screen displaying all the information she needs.
But none of that matters. The point of the whole process of developing a Vision concept for Gran Turismo was to "find new roads" of innovation, new avenues that had not yet been explored. Chevy and Chaparral delivered.
To generate more excitement about the video game car for Gran Turismo 6, Chevrolet released this Chaparral 2X VGT video that demonstrates the design process and, more excitingly, how it handles on the track. And the best part? It's got a score that is seemingly straight out of Inception to build excitement. We were kind of just waiting to find out it was all a dream.

Search resumes for missing girl -- still no breakthrough
The search for Serenity Dennard, the 9-year-old girl who went missing in steep forest terrain on Super Bowl Sunday, resumed Wednesday near Rockerville but resulted in no break in the case.
Nineteen searchers from the Pennington County Sheriff's Office, Pennington County and Search and Rescue, Rapid City Police Department and Rockerville Volunteer Fire Department went over some territory near the Black Hills Children's Home where Serenity was last seen. No searchers went out Monday or Tuesday after a massive effort over the weekend.
The cold and snowy weather pattern that has dominated the area since Serenity's disappearance has hampered searchers who look to seize any slight opening they can.
"We wanted to take advantage of the weather," said Gail Schmidt, a Pennington County Search and Rescue team member who is also the fire chief for the Rockerville Volunteer Fire Department. "It was fairly warm yesterday and things melted a little yesterday. We saw some of the creeks melt and some of the snow melt on some of the hill sides. The weather's pretty nice today and we wanted to get one more opportunity out there to look at some high priority areas close to the Children's Home and see if we could get our eyes on Serenity."
Future search plans will be decided on a day by day, authorities say, pending a break in the weather or any new information investigators uncover.

This is one of a collection of films made by the Selby Cine Club. This film provides a wonderful overview of the town of Selby as it was in 1965 and is accompanied by an interesting historical commentary. It shows pedestrians and traffic in the town centre, many of the shops, and includes the Toll Bridge, the Monday market, the Reverend John Kent giving a tour of the Abbey, the shipyard, the BOCM Mill, and a Council meeting.
This amateur documentary, with commentary and music sound track, records location shoots taking place in July 1963 at Bamburgh beach for the Paramount Pictures film production of 'Becket', directed by Peter Glenville. In the early years of their much-publicised love affair, the famous Hollywood star Elizabeth Taylor visits Richard Burton on set. The film was produced by a Newcastle and District Amateur Cinematographers Association (ACA) film unit, with surprisingly close access to Taylor, film production crew including British cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth, and actors Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, Edward Woodward and Wilfrid Lawson.

15 March 2012
Please Click Here to Read the Statement
Human Rights Council adopts Universal Periodic Review outcome on Syria
During the review of Syria in October 2011, the authorities accepted recommendations to guarantee the rights to freedom of expression, opinion and assembly,[1] to end conflict and violence and find a peaceful political solution to the situation in the country,[2] and to investigate alleged cases of violence and deaths, bringing those responsible to justice.[3] These commitments appear cynical and insincere, given the situation that prevailed in Syria in October 2011 and that which prevails today.
Amnesty International has repeatedly maintained that some of the human rights violations being committed by the Syrian authorities in their crackdown on pro-reform protests amount to crimes against humanity. The findings of the UN Commission of Inquiry, released on 22 February, coincide with our own and further show that violations have been carried out with the apparent knowledge and consent of commanding officers and senior members of the Syrian government.[4]
Amnesty International has received the names of more than 6,990 people who have been killed or died in connection with the protests since mid-March 2011. This figure increases daily. Amnesty International is certain that many have been shot by security forces. Thousands have been arrested, and many have reportedly been held incommunicado and subjected to torture and other ill-treatment. Over 280 people are reported to have died in custody under highly suspicious circumstances. These and other human rights violations are being committed with absolute impunity. More recently the Syrian security forces have used tanks, helicopters, mortars, rockets and artillery fire to attack civilian areas.
Amnesty International urges the Council to apply paragraph 37 of the annex to Council Resolution 5/1 to keep Syria under review in the UPR due to the extraordinary circumstances that prevail in the country.[5] To treat the adoption of the UPR outcome for Syria as business as usual will make a mockery of the UPR. Amnesty International also urges the Council to schedule a special UPR examination of Syria to follow-up on the review carried out in October 2011.
The UN Human Rights Council adopted the outcome of the Universal Periodic Review of Syria on 15 March during its 19th session. Prior to the adoption of the report of the review Amnesty International delivered the oral statement above. Amnesty International also contributed to the information basis of the review through its submission on Syria, submitted in March 2011: http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/info/MDE24/034/2011/en

Toxic Blob Spreading Across Lake Erie, Could Put Cleveland's Drinking Water at Risk
Ohio governmental officials will be releasing an updated report about a two-square-mile toxic blob at the bottom of Lake Erie that might be spreading perilously close to a water intake pipe that supplies drinking water for the city of Cleveland.
Lake Erie's toxic sediment is a potential threat to city of Cleveland's drinking water.Stefanie Spear
According to The Plain Dealer, the new report is expected for release later this fall and is based on new tests taken nearby a section of the lake bottom known as Area-1, located about nine miles off the coast. Prior Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests of the tainted plot from 2014 and 2015 revealed levels of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) that were much higher than elsewhere in Lake Erie. These highly toxic chemicals can harm or kill aquatic life and can cause cancer in humans.
Lake Erie's toxic blob is the result of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' dumping of dredged and untreated sludge from the polluted Cuyahoga River shipping channel in the 1970s. The disposal took place before the Clean Water Act of 1972 was enacted.
The mass is located about five miles from an intake valve for the Nottingham Water Treatment Plant, which supplies drinking water to parts of Cuyahoga County—Ohio's most populous county. It is unclear how fast the blob is moving or if it will actually reach the pipe.

The Ohio EPA said in May that the city's water is being monitored and is safe.
Kurt Princic, chief of EPA's Northeast Ohio District, said PCBs or PAHs have not been detected so far at the Nottingham water plant, The Plain Dealer reported.
However, this doesn't mean that the situation won't change.
"I'm no more satisfied now than I ever was that we have dispelled the fact that we have toxic sediment moving toward our drinking water," Ohio EPA Director Craig Butler told The Plain Dealer. "We need conclusive evidence. We need more samples so that we will know, once and for all, whether this substance is moving."
"We need the U.S. EPA's help to develop an analysis and a strategy to determine if it is migrating and whether it is a threat to drinking water," Princic added.
Former Army Corps Brigadier General Richard Kaiser denies claims that the toxic sediment is spreading or that it's a threat to the city's drinking water. He told The Plain Dealer that Army Corps scientists assured him that waves cannot influence sediment 60 feet underwater except during extreme storm events, adding that the EPA's testing methods and reports were "critically flawed."
However, Butler has refuted this view, citing EPA's tests indicating that the toxic sediment has indeed spread from the original dumping site from wind currents and storms.

Stefanie Penn Spear
In 2009 it seemed as though Congress was finally going to pass legislation that would transition our country to a renewable energy future. The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, also known as the Waxman-Markey Bill, would have created a cap and trade system on greenhouse gases, required electric utilities through a renewable electricity standard (RES) to meet 20 percent of their electricity demand through renewable energy sources and energy efficiency by 2020, subsidized renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies, and financed modernization of the electrical grid, among many other provisions.
The bill was approved by the House of Representatives on June 26, 2009 by a vote of 219-212, but died in the Senate. The vote was the first time either house of Congress had a bill on the floor that would curb the heat-trapping gases scientists have linked to climate change. Though the bill included some not so favorable items, such as subsidies for carbon capture and sequestration, and not nearly an aggressive enough RES, it would have been considerably better than doing nothing.
In addition to what seemed like progress on federal energy legislation, nearly 20 states had passed their own energy bills mandating a RES with a variety of percentages of renewable energy being generated in upcoming years. These states were at the forefront of the renewable energy evolution and are responsible for thousands of renewable projects that bolstered local economies by creating green jobs and increasing manufacturing of solar and wind products in the U.S. Finally, it looked as if the renewable energy marketplace was gaining ground and we were going to pass federal energy legislation that would create a sustainable economy.
I spent that year lobbying and educating EcoWatch readers on the Waxman-Markey Bill and Ohio's energy bill SB 221, working at the local level on solar and wind zoning, and fighting the proposed 1,000-megawatt conventional coal-fired power plant that American Municipal Power of Ohio planned to build in the already sacrificed-zone of Meigs County, Ohio. Feeling like my advocacy work wasn't enough, I launched Expedite Renewable Energy, a company which helps businesses and residents through the many steps of investing in solar and wind projects.
Unfortunately the federal bill failed, and with the new leadership in the House following the 2010 Congressional elections no hope remained that an energy bill mandating a RES and cap and trade system would be prioritized again any time soon. In addition, some of the strong energy bills passed on the state level began diminishing in return depending on the leadership in each state. In Ohio, SB 221 remains active but the main incentive driver, the Advanced Energy Fund, sunsetted and was not renewed which has significantly decreased the amount of investment in renewable energy projects and the economic boost the state was receiving in green jobs and manufacturing.
Now three years later, I'm left feeling like we took two steps forward and ten steps back. The amazing part is that a large majority of Americans want renewable energy and understand the implications of continued reliance on fossil fuels—like coal, natural gas and oil—and know that if we don't transition to cleaner sources of energy now, the air we breathe and the water we drink will continue to be compromised to a point of no return.
So what's keeping us from moving forward when we live in a democratic society? For me, it's as simple as money in politics. We need to reverse Citizens United and get money out of politics once and for all. But we can't completely blame the political system. It is also up to every American to educate themselves on these issues and implement sustainability practices to reduce energy usage and conserve our natural resources.
Of course the grassroots environmental movement plays a vital role in educating people and encouraging strong environmental policy. That is why EcoWatch is taking on the call to unite the voices of the grassroots environmental movement and all Americans around a honed in message asking Congress to expedite renewable energy.
Today, EcoWatch.org is launching a petition that outlines a renewable energy policy that we believe everyone in the grassroots movement and fellow Americans can support. We are asking you to sign the petition directed to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources and House Energy & Commerce Committee. This petition can help serve as a basis for bipartisan legislation that members of Congress can introduce in their committees and ultimately on the House and Senate floor.
To sign the petition, click here. If your organization is interested in endorsing this petition, email Stefanie at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Manufactured Home Rent Justification Bill Released from Committee
SS 1 for SB 33 requires mediation between landowners and homeowners for large increases
DOVER – Legislation aimed at protecting manufactured homeowners from rapidly and randomly escalating rent costs is one step closer to becoming a reality after clearing a House committee Wednesday.
Under Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill 33, a manufactured home community owner and homeowners would be required to go through mediation if the community owner attempts to raise rental prices more than the average annual Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) increase for the preceding 36 months. The bill was unanimously released from the House Manufactured Housing Committee.
"This is a great step forward for manufactured housing residents. It is the culmination of a lot of hard work between legislators, manufactured home owners and community owners," said Rep. Paul Baumbach, D-Newark, the committee chair and the bill's lead House sponsor. "Many manufactured home residents are seniors living on fixed incomes and they can't absorb a huge rent increase. They are a unique case in Delaware and they require a special solution for a special situation. This bill is an overdue remedy for that and represents a critical step that ensures that the structure is fair and improving."
According to the bill, which cleared the Senate last week by a 17-1 vote, if the two sides are unable to reach an agreement through mediation, they would enter into non-binding arbitration that would be appealable to Superior Court.
Rent increases exceeding CPI-U for the preceding 36 months may be justified with evidence regarding increases in the cost of operating, maintaining and improving the affected community. The bill also provides for penalties to community owners who increase rent beyond CPI-U without submitting to the justification process.

As the saying goes: "The right mind rests in a healthy body", and this is why QS invests in both sports events and promoting a sport-culture that spreads among its employees and reaches outside of the offices.
The annual national Qatar Sports Day was launched under the leadership of Shaikh Tamim as a means to actively promote the importance of physical activity in our daily lives. On the occasion, Qatar Steel organized a family sports day at the nearby MIC Sports Complex in Mesaieed. This event was attended by employees from numerous departments along with their families.
The day was considered a great success by all those who attended. Two professional and energetic instructors man-aged the day's events, which included football, basketball and cricket. Smaller informal games were also arranged to ensure children of all ages where included in the day's events.
In addition to celebrating the National Sports Day, Qatar Steel's PR department also holds a several week long annual sports event. This is larger, longer event gives the company more time to implement its intentions in developing its workforce, by providing a range of physical activities. Enthusiastic employees participated in large numbers in football, cricket, basketball, table tennis, regular tennis and badminton. The event came to an end with athletes meeting at the MIC Sports complex in May. The winners and runners-up were awarded with medals and cups.

Exmouth Sept 2018
Gday guys,
We have just arrived home (1:15 this morning) from Exmouth after 10 nights up there, so I thought I would chuck a couple of photos up.... It was a last-minute decision to head up - but we were totally over the winter weather down south... We fished the gulf (as usual), but got most fish on the spear as the water was clearer than i have seen it for at least a couple of years! We took the kids surfing, drove to Ningaloo along the coast, and lazed around on the West side beaches...
enjoy the pics...
sounds like a great trip. a

I've got to check out the Gulf side. We camp at Ningaloo a bit, but just with the tinny. Fishing the gulf is probably a bit more tinny friendly.

Thanks for the comments - it certainly wasn't a fishing trip, but we try to make the most of it when the wind is down! We used to camp at Ningaloo every year, however we find there are more options staying at Exmouth as far as boating goes - not to mention a lot less gear to bring / 240v power / a pool / restaurant/ etc etc.. ( as mush as I do love camping at Ningaloo!!)

In this talk, I provide an overview of three years of classroom-based research in two different ARC funded projects in which students used custom developed 3D virtual worlds and 2D models to learn difficult scientific knowledge about biological and climate systems as well as scientific inquiry skills. We not only found statistically significant learning gains related to inquiry skills and content knowledge but also students who were quite motivated and engaged. Further, teachers we worked with were enthusiastic about the new approaches to teaching we developed and positive about the learning experiences of their students. The key lessons of this research have, I believe, implications beyond specific science content in the Australian Curriculum, such potential applications to realise broader Australian and international educational goals related to learning of advanced 21st century knowledge, practices, and skills.
This seminar will be available live online at http://webconf.ucc.usyd.edu.au/seminar-room2/
Room 230
Michael Jacobson is Professor and Chair of Education in the Sydney School of Education and Social Work at The University of Sydney, where he is also a co-director of the Centre for Research on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning and Cognition.

Flowers on Film
August 29, 2019
in My Work, Photography
I recently got back loads of 35mm film I shot over the summer on my vintage Olympus Mju-ii. Not surprisingly, most were pictures of flowers. Nothing is more satisfying to capture than the beauty of Mother Nature. I still have a ton to learn about film photography, but I appreciate that you can simply point and shoot with this camera and still get decent results. These were all shot on Kodak Porta 400 and 160.
To see more of my film photos with this camera check out Noe Valley, San Francisco on Film
"Earth laughs in flowers." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pluck not the wayside flower,
It is the traveller's dower;
A thousand passers-by
Its beauties may espy,
May win a touch of blessing
From Nature's mild caressing.
The sad of heart perceives
A violet under leaves
Like sonic fresh-budding hope;
The primrose on the slope
A spot of sunshine dwells,
And cheerful message tells
Of kind renewing power;
The nodding bluebell's dye
Is drawn from happy sky.
Then spare the wayside flower!
It is the traveller's dower.
—Wayside Flowers by William Allingham

Bitdefender or Avira, which antivirus software is a better option in 2020?
Read this ultimate McAfee versus Avira comparison to make a smart decision.
Do you know there is a malware attack every 39 seconds? These attacks affect, on average, one in three Americans every year, and this number is only expected to go up in the coming years.
In 2019 alone, over 800 million new malware samples were released on the internet, affecting millions on devices worldwide. The real cost of malware is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2019, as reported by Forbes.
So, it's clear that you need a reliable antivirus software to protect your data and privacy.
But just any antivirus software won't cut it these days. Most free or low-end antivirus programs available in the market offer limited malware protection with no advanced features or extra utilities.
When it comes to digital security, you get what you pay for. We recommend investing in a full-fledged security suite, like Bitdefender Total Security 2019, for complete peace of mind.
Important Note
Best Antivirus Suite for 2020
(All the best security products examined)
Editors' Choice Award Winner
Overall Score: 9.9/10
Special discount ends in...
30-day money-back guarantee
Overall, Bitdefender is our #1 antivirus software for 2020, because of its excellent, flawless performance in all the recent independent lab evaluations we considered, particularly those conducted by AV-Test and AV-Comparatives.
Right now, we think that Bitdefender Total Security 2020 (currently at 60% off) is the best antivirus package available in the market. Apart from providing excellent anti-malware protection, it offers all the advanced premium features and utilities that must be there in a high-end package -- and best of all, it offers excellent value for money. You can protect up to five devices (PCs, Macs, or smartphones) with just one subscription.
If you need protection for more than five devices, we highly recommend Bitdefender Family Pack 2020. It will cover all the internet-capable devices in your household with the Total Security suite, so your family will be protected no matter what goes wrong.
In this guide, we'll take a comprehensive look at two of the best antivirus software in the market: McAfee and Avira. We'll see what features both companies offer in their security products, as well as how much impact they put on your system and how well they protect you against malware.
In a rush? Below is a quick rundown of winners in each category.
A Quick Rundown of Winners in Each Category
1. Features
Winner: McAfee. McAfee offers a ton of excellent features and utilities right into its flagship product, while Avira's advanced features are locked behind the higher, more expensive packages.
2. Malware Protection

3. Impact on System Performance

4. User-Friendliness

5. Pricing

6. Customer Satisfaction

Short Verdict
Avira is competitive, but McAfee offers a more comprehensive feature-set and better malware protection with minimal impact on system performance. Also, McAfee offers better value for money than Avira.
We have reviewed, ranked, and rated all the best antivirus software products out there, and we think that Bitdefender Total Security 2020 (currently at 50% off) is the best antivirus package you can buy right now. You can protect up to five devices (PCs, Macs, or smartphones) with just a single subscription of this suite.
If you need protection for more than five devices, Bitdefender Family Pack 2020 is the best option for you.
Looking for Mac-specific protection? Check out Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac for complete peace of mind.
Now, let's dig into the details.
1. Features
Features and utilities are the most important ways in which security software can distinguish itself from its competitors.
Let's take a look at what McAfee and Avira offer in their security products.
We'll start with McAfee.
The company's flagship product is McAfee Total Protection, which is compatible with PCs, Macs, and smartphones. This is an all-encompassing package that includes all the advanced features and utilities that should be there in a high-end product.
Some advanced features include a smart two-way firewall that's updated regularly to protect against latest threats, a file shredder that can safely delete confidential data that you don't want to be leaked, and the File Lock utility that protects your sensitive data from ransomware attacks.
A full-blown password management tool and several computer performance optimization features are also part of the package, along with the Network Manager module that helps protect your Wi-Fi network.
Finally, the Safe Family module is also incorporated into the package. This module offers a great suite of features that can let you monitor your children's activities and browsing habits or bar them from visiting certain websites. You can also set a limit on the number of hours your children can spend on their devices each day.
McAfee Total Protection comes at different price points depending on the number of devices covered. (We'll cover the pricing later in this guide.)
Another top-drawer product that the company offers is McAfee LiveSafe. There is no difference between LiveSafe and Total Protection in terms of features and add-ons, but the former only comes with OEM deals and is not available for purchase in most countries.
All McAfee products come with premium customer support.
Now let's see what Avira brings to the table.
Avira's antivirus line-up starts from the limited free option, called Avira Free Antivirus. It offers protection against a wide of malware threats, including ransomware, but you won't find many advanced features and utilities in this freemium product.
Next up is Avira Antivirus Pro, which is the company's entry-level premium offering. Besides providing excellent malware protection, this suite includes a number of useful add-ons such as a hardened browser, and a full-blown password manager, and a VPN tool with limited data usage.
The Avira Home Guard utility that scans your complete network and finds vulnerabilities is also part of the suite.
A single license of this suite protects one device.
The next tier of coverage is called Avira Internet Security. This package offers everything found in the "Pro" suite, plus the Software Updater tool that scans all software (and drivers) currently installed on your computer for updates, removing a minor maintenance headache as well as patching vulnerabilities in the process.
With a single license of this suite, you can protect one device for a year.
Finally, Avira Prime (compatible with PCs, Macs, Android, and iOS) is the company's top-drawer security suite. This suite includes everything that's found in the previous suite, plus the System Speedup Pro that enhances your computer speed and performance.
With Prime, you can also install Avira's dedicated mobile apps that extend security to Android and iOS. Also, you'll get access to every new product that Avira puts out at no extra cost.
Avira provides premium support with all of its premium products, but Avira Prime customers get "VIP support."

Winner: McAfee. McAfee includes all of its premium features and utilities in its signature product, while Avira's advanced features are locked behind the higher, more expensive products.
2. Malware Protection
One of the most important aspects is how well a security software defends your computer against digital threats (or 'malware'). But reviews or company claims aren't exactly the best way to tell which software is better in this regard.
To see how McAfee and Avira compare against one another in terms of malware protection, we'll look at the recent lab tests conducted by two reputable independent organizations: AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives.
The most recent AV-Test evaluations were conducted in January and February 2019. Both McAfee and Avira demonstrated their exceptional malware protection capabilities in the recent AV-Test evaluations; both software were given a perfect 6 out of 6 rating. (See this and this for detailed results.)
One test isn't enough. Now, let's look at AV-Comparatives.
The experts at AV-Comparatives conduct several exhaustive tests to assess the performance of different antivirus software, but its main test is the Real-World Protection Test.
Both McAfee and Avira were among the few top-rated products that received the ADVANCED+ award, which is the highest award given out by the company, in the recent Real-World Protection Test, because of their near-perfect protection rates and low false positives' count.
***False positive (the lower, the better) is when a security program wrongly flags a clean file or URL.
Winner: Both. Independent tests prove that both McAfee and Avira are exceptional when it comes to protecting against different types of malware threats.
3. Impact on System Performance
A good antivirus software should run well on your computer, without negatively affecting its performance.
Once again, we'll look at the recent performance tests conducted by AV-Test and AV-comparatives to see how much strain both McAfee and Avira put on computer systems.
In the AV-Test's performance test, McAfee once again reached a perfect 6/6 rating.
Avira fell slightly behind in this test; it earned a relatively lower 5.5/6 rating in the 'Performance' category.
The Performance Test conducted by AV-Comparatives also measures the impact on different antivirus software on computer performance. The recent version of the test was conducted in October last year. McAfee once again showcased its dominance and received the highest ADVANCED+ award. Avira also got the highest award in the test.
Winner: McAfee. It's a close call, but McAfee managed to edge out ahead of Avira during one of the independent tests, so it's our pick in this category.
4. User-Friendliness
User-friendliness is another great metric we can use to compare different antivirus software against one another. Some people tend to ignore this factor, but it could be very annoying to deal with a complex or difficult interface day in and day out.
McAfee has a pretty standard user interface, with a central hub that splits into side windows or slides depending on the task which you're focusing on. Switching screens is common with their interface, as you'll find that an entirely different screen is needed for most major functions.
McAfee's interface does make use of a left side rail which can organize all the major operations for easy picking and switching. Overall, McAfee's interface doesn't rock the boat too much and is relatively intuitive to use.
Avira's interface is simple and well-organized but there's a lot of empty space. This is especially true for the product that's lower on the subscription level, which makes it seem like you might be missing out if you don't have the highest tier of coverage.
Using the interface is quite easy, no matter if you're a beginner or computer literate. However, you will find ads if you use the free version of Avira, and these can become very annoying after a while.
Winner: Both. Overall, it can be said that both McAfee and Avira offer a neat, user-friendly interface.
5. Pricing
For some people, pricing is the most important aspect when choosing a security software. Not everyone can afford the highest tier of antivirus coverage, so they might be looking for the antivirus with the most value per dollar. Let's see how McAfee and Avira rank in this regard.
McAfee Total Protection has a flat rate of $24.99 per year for one license. However, their price becomes much more reasonable as you add licenses. The cost of licenses decreases as you add more licenses in total. Five licenses, for instance, are $39.99 per year and ten licenses are $44.99 per year. The more computers you need to protect, the more reasonable McAfee's pricing points become.

Avira's first offering is free, but it's very limited. Avira Antivirus Pro cost $44.99 per year for one device. Right off the bat, McAfee provides a lot more value per dollar spent on a license and Avira.
Avira Internet Security Suite costs $57.99 per year for one device, while Avira Prime protects five devices for $99.99 per year.

Winner: McAfee. McAfee provides much more bang for your buck and protects more devices for less money.
6. Customer Service
Finally, we can look at how well customers view each company to gain a general sense of their customer service and product usability. There are some handy websites that make this analysis possible.
The Better Business Bureau is one of them. This site collects user feedback and awards a grade, from A to F (with F being the worse), to each company. From the BBB, McAfee received a stellar A+ rating, while Avira only received a C in comparison.
Consumeraffairs.org is another useful site that performs a similar service as the BBB, although they use a five-star scale to determine general customer satisfaction. Both McAfee and Avira get two out of five stars from Consumer Affairs.
Winner: McAfee. Overall, McAfee wins this round of comparison because of its impressive Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating.
Final Thoughts
Avira is competitive, but McAfee is the overall winner as it offers a comprehensive feature-set with better malware protection and low impact on system performance.
