Even Bodybuilders Have a Tough Time Hitting These Muscles
Bodybuilders are the epitome of strength, the kings of the muscle court. So it probably comes as a shock that even they have a difficult time building certain muscles up.
These men and women are in killer shape, however, they aren't immune to the struggle that is muscle gain. Trainers and bodybuilders alike ranked the hardest muscles to tone and build and gave tips on how to finally build those tough-to-target muscles (page 7).
6. Biceps
Various bodybuilders expressed difficulty building up their biceps. However, according to Muscle and Fitness, they may just be doing the wrong bicep exercises for long-term results. "Curling aimlessly is just as limiting as it sounds," it found, and encouraged using bands and widening your grip to further define the biceps.
If you want to define your biceps without building big muscle, try these exercises designed to tone your arms without using weights.
Next: How do you turn that four-pack into a six-pack?
5. Abdominal muscles
Regardless of how long you plank for or how many crunches you do, your "lower abs" (biologically speaking, there is no distinction) never seem to surface. It feels nearly impossible to complete the six-pack, and more often than not, most people just settle for the top two to four.
Biology and diet are in part to blame for the struggle, however, there are still a few tricks you can use at the gym to target your lower abs. Incorporate exercises that target all of your abdominal muscles like jackknives, boat pose, and bicycle crunches. Focus on engaging your lower abs with each movement to optimize the exercise.
Next: You won't want to shrug off this muscle group.
4. Shoulders
Lifestyle coach and trainer Craig Ballantyne called the shoulders "the first place to get hurt and the last place to get big" for bodybuilders. He recommended building big shoulders using the "back-to-front" approach in order to increase muscle mass while reducing the potential for injury.
The "back-to-front" approach is fairly self-explanatory: start each workout training the back of the shoulder, then the middle deltoid, then finish with exercises for the front of the shoulder. For example: Start with reverse flyes, move onto standing deltoid raises, and finish with a seated dumbbell press.
Next: Don't neglect this hard-to-build muscle group.
3. Pecs
The pecs are a notoriously difficult muscle to build according to Men's Health, and many bodybuilders feel the same. Derek Charlebois — known as "The Beast" among the bodybuilding community — called his chest the "stubborn muscle group that just does not seem to want to grow."
Physical trainers recommend warming up, taking things slow to start, and incorporating regular rests to start. Charlebois claimed the bench press, incline bench press, and cable crossovers all contributed to the incredible results he saw over the course of just six months.
Next: These muscles are the hardest to build and easiest to injure.
2. Lats
The biggest issue with lats? They're nearly impossible to isolate. Bodybuilding experts stress focusing on quality rather than quantity when targeting your lats. "What's most important is to cut back on the amount of weight in order to perform the reps at a full range of motion," Generation Iron recommended in order to build real muscle mass.
Bodybuilders use chin-ups and pull-ups to build up their lats. Remember to keep your elbow position in mind throughout your workout: holding them wide will target the upper lats while keeping them tighter to your sides will trigger the lower lats.
Next: Bodybuilders call this muscle group the hardest to build up.
1. Calves
Genetics play a large role in calf size since they control muscle distribution. There are other factors — like your circulation and nerve supply — that also affect how your calf muscles develop.
According to the experts at Generation Iron, the key to overcoming "chicken legs" to make your calves a priority rather than an afterthought. Build a well-structured workout that incorporates all three of the calves' major muscles. The site recommends including reverse calf raises and standing or seated barbell calf raises in your workout.
Next: These tips will help you build any muscle, no matter how pesky.
So, what's the secret to targeting tough-to-build muscles?
The bigger the weight, the bigger the muscle, right? Wrong. It turns out using low-weight volumes and high repetitions actually lead to the greatest hypertrophy, or enlargement of cells, by pumping more amino acids into muscles.
Research also shows that focusing on full-body workouts, eating small meals throughout the day, and incorporating a thorough warmup can help you build and maintain muscle mass.

May is uggest using a download manager like for FF you can add DownThemAll and it does a good job. Otherwise for IE I use FlashGet. FG is add supported with a banner and pop up but is very good at getting files and quickly. I have the problem you are having at work with using the normal download manager in IE or FF as it never works or quits without finishing notjust from here. I use DTA and it gets it everytime as I can restart the DL if it does indeed stop.

Tom Cruise Wants to Play an Ape in the Planet of the Apes Series
9th Декабрь, 2016 Admin
Пинг не поддерживается.
Cruise might not be seriously committed to playing an ape one day (as Dylan Clark did indicate) – but on the other hand, it wouldn't be that far a cry from most of his recent roles. The actor is famous for performing as many of his own stunts as possible – including those that are legitimately dangerous for the Mission: Impossible franchise – and has said on multiple occasions that he's been attracted to physically-challenging roles of late. Motion-capture performances in general tend to fall on the more physically-demanding side (especially those from the Planet of the Apes series and similar tentpoles); which is to say that if Cruise ever does appear in a Planet of the Apes film, it might be in the form of a digitally-rendered ape, for related reasons.
As mentioned before, it doesn't sound as though Cruise is genuinely intent on joining the Planet of the Apes series – and he already has plenty of other franchise movies to keep himself busy with, over the next few years (including, Mission: Impossible 6 and Edge of Tomorrow 2). Still, who knows; if the current Planet of the Apes franchise does continue after Caesear's story is over, maybe it will be Tom Cruise (the CGI ape) who takes his place as the series protagonist.

Bob Gibson's amazing 1968
For baseball fans, three things stand out from the 1968 season: Detroit's comeback victory in the World Series, Denny McLain's 31-6 record, and Bob Gibson's incredible pitching journey through 34 National League starts that generated his famed 1.12 ERA. It's Gibson's performance that most amazes fans today. Except for a wild pitch and a "just fair" double, it could have been even more spectacular than it was.
Plenty of other diamond events occured in 1968, but world happenings and especially major domestic traumas seemed to subdue interest in the season while it was being played out. Even three decades later old baseball minds remain a little cloudy on many particulars. The Year of the Pitcher was cloaked in war, political upheaval, assassinations, and riots. Its baseball milestones are recalled easily only by those who focused on a certain team or player during the social turmoil. Don Drysdale eclipsed icon Walter Johnson's scoreless inning record between the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. In fact, his two starts to approach and then break the record perfectly skirted the RFK tragedy. Don hurled his sixth shutout in Los Angeles just hours before the June 5 (after) midnight shooting and broke Johnson's record just hours after the Arlington Cemetery burial on June 8. Kennedy was said to have mentioned Drysdale's feat in his speech after winning the California primary.
Giant rookie Bobby Bonds' first hit was a grand slam. Earl Weaver took over the Orioles. Mickey Mantle took his last bows, as did Elston Howard with Boston. Frank Howard, who had Triple Crown numbers in mid-June, hit a record ten mammoth clouts in a week and Gaylord Perry and Ray Washburn threw back-to-back no-hitters at the 'Stick. Boston's 1967 Triple Crowner Carl Yastrzemski, hitting just .280 after June 10, rallied in September to make .301, the lowest batting title finish ever. Runner-up Danny Cater rallied for a .290 mark. Neither league had much of a pennant race, although the Cardinal-Tiger Series did make up for a lack of June to September drama.
Gibson's dominance has been discussed before by SABR writers, but only as it measured up to other super pitching achievements of this century. Here I chart Gibby's start-after-start excellence, bringing back all the names and circumstances you may have missed in the original go-around.
Season opens badly–St. Louis began the year as defending World Champs thanks to Gibson's three wins over Boston in the '67 Series. At thirty-two, he opened his eighth full season, the last five of which totaled 91 wins and 52 losses. On April 10 Atlanta's Braves were at St. Louis a day after the scheduled date because of Dr. King's burial. After three days of riots, troops patrolled outside DC Stadium, Tiger Stadium, and Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, but things were a bit calmer a few blocks west of the Mississippi.
Gibson left in the eighth inning down 1-0 to Pat Jarvis, who soon lost to Washburn, 2-1, in the ninth. The run Gibson gave up was unearned. Five days later in Atlanta, Jarvis lost to reliever Joe Hoerner, 4-3, as Gibby exited after seven frames, down 3-1 on a Hank Aaron home run. Back in St. Louis, Ferguson Jenkins hurled a 5-1 win for the cellar-dwelling Cubs, beating Gibson thanks mainly to Billy Williams (double, homer, three RBIs). After beating Pittsburgh's Bob Veale, 2-1, on home runs by Orlando Cepeda and Tim McCarver, Gibson outlasted the home Astros, 3-1, in twelve innings on Julian Javier's triple (run, RBI). Another royal duel followed at Busch Stadium on May 6, as Tom Seaver lost to Gibby, 2-1 (Lou Brock triple, Cepeda single), in the eleventh inning.
Gibson then lost four straight games, allowing a total of nine runs. One loss was to Phillie Woody Fryman, who singled and scored the winning run in the tenth inning (1-0) on a Bill White single. Another loss, 2-0, was to Drysdale, then about half way to breaking the scoreless inning record. Wes Parker's third-inning RBI double with two out was the only run off Gibson on that cold, wet night. Visiting Giant Gaylord Perry then beat him, 3-1, on late home runs by Dick Dietz and Willie Mays. Gibson was pitching much better than his 3-5 record indicated, and things were about to turn around for the St. Louis fireballer.
St. Louis had lost eleven of fourteen games until they arrived in New York to face the upstart Mets. They won a muddy June 2 doubleheader, with Gibson capturing the first game, 6-3, on two RBIs each from Mike Shannon, Dick Simpson (homer), and McCarver. The Cards nudged back into first and the Mets slipped to last, only seven games behind. Then came five straight shutouts, with Robert Kennedy's murder between the first and second. At the same time, Drysdale's run of six shutouts and 58 scoreless innings ended on Phillie Howie Bedell's only RBI of the year (a sacrifice fly).
Gibson's real dominance began at Houston's Astrodome on June 6, where he tossed a three-hitter and won, 4-0, behind Cepeda. Host Atlanta fell next, 6-0, on five hits. The Reds' Gary Nolan matched Bullet Bob for five innings before the fleet-footed Cards beat him, 2-0, (Cincy got four hits). Nemesis Chicago was next as Gibson beat Jenkins, 1- 0, on five hits. Poor Fergie gave up only four safeties, but lost as Chicago was sinking in its own scoreless quagmire of 46 innings. Bob's fifth whitewash beat Pittsburgh, 3-0, on four hits. He allowed an average of four hits and struck out an average of seven batters during the skein. His own consecutive scoreless inning streak then stood at 47.
Wild frustration–On July 1 came a Gibson-Drysdale showdown at Chavez Ravine before 54,107 fans. In his previous start, the Dodgers' Big D no-hit the home Giants into the seventh while posting his tenth victory. In the bottom of the first inning Len Gabrielson and Tom Hailer (off Javier's glove) singled with two down. With Ron Fairly at bat, Gibson uncorked a wild pitch, which bounced off umpire Shag Crawford and away from substitute catcher Johnny Edwards. Gabrielson dashed home with what proved to be the Dodgers' only tally. Edwards later said the ball might have been wet from the outfield grass, and took some of the blame though he did ask the umpire to dry it. Fairly said it was one of the hardest thrown balls he had ever seen. Drysdale lasted into the seventh as the Cardinals won, 5-1, behind the bats of Curt Flood and Brock. Each hurler left with a 10-5 mark, but Gibson's goose egg run had ended at 47.
Here the "couldas and shouldas" begin, because Gibson shut the Dodgers out for the last eight innings, then blanked the Giants at Candlestick, 3-0. He beat Juan Marichal, who had the best NL record at 15-3. Edwards' first-inning blast won the game, almost a "makeup" for the previous game's miscue. Back home at Busch, Bob destroyed Houston, 8-1, allowing only a two-out, seventh-inning, RBI double to Denis Menke that was described as "fair by inches."
On July 17 in St. Louis, a heatwave induced thunderstorm washed out all the numbers of a 6-0 lead the Card ace held over the Giants and Mike McCormick. Gibson then shut out both the Mets and Phillies. Making his debut, rookie Jim McAndrew took the Met loss, 2-0, as both runs were driven home by Bobby Tolan (inside-the-park home run, double). Chris Short took the 5-0 Phillie loss, as Edwards and Gibson himself starred at the dish. Bob had amassed eight shutouts in ten games, with just two solo runs scoring, each with two outs. Subtract those and he would have had compiled ten consecutive white-washes and more than ninety blank innings. At Shea Stadium he posted another near-shutout, 7-1. This time an Ed Kranepool two-out double plated Ed Charles in the fourth. St. Louis was 26-21 when Gibson's roll began and 78-43 when he next failed to win (52-22). The National League race was over.
Facing Jenkins again, at Busch, Gibson (then 17-4) was proven human. Blowing a 3-0 lead against the club that hit him best in 1968, Gibson gave up another home run to "Sweet Billy" Williams and the tying home run to Al Spangler (his first of just two that year) on the first pitch of the ninth inning. Bob tossed eleven innings and gave up twelve hits, but avoided a decision. The Cards lost in the twelfth, 6-5. Through four innings of that game Gibson had allowed three runs in 105 innings–each after two were out.
In Atlanta Gibson continued his nasty mastery. He blanked the Braves and Phil Niekro, 1-0, then beat the Cubs at Wrigley, 3-1, losing a shutout to yet another two-out run, as Jim Hickman knocked home Spangler, who had doubled. Cepeda had two RBIs for the winners. Bob then paid back Phillie Fryman for that earlier loss, beating him, 2-0, while whiffing Richie Allen four times and Bill White thrice. Substitute outfielder Ron Davis, who had come over from Houston and rarely played for St. Louis, chose that night to carry a huge bat and knocked home both runs. More importantly, this was Gibson's 15th consecutive win, allowing hits only to reliever John Boozer and pinch hitter Johnny Callison.
On August 24 at Busch came Gibson's worst defeat of the season–in all respects. It was as frustrating as the wild pitch in Los Angeles, as he lost to Pittsburgh, 6-4, giving up more runs than he did in any other 1968 game, and blowing a four-run lead. Gibson was coasting along with a shutout until Willie Stargell's three-run shot in the seventh. It was the only three-run inning off Gibson all season and it began with an Orlando Cepeda error. The Card ace fanned his season high of 15, but a second error (Maxvill throw) after Stargell doubled in the ninth cost him two (unearned) runs and a sixteenth straight victory. Reliever Elroy Face, the fifth Pirate hurler, was the winner as Matty Alou chipped in a run and an RBI. Four days later in Pittsburgh, a somewhat miffed Gibson shut out the Bucs, 8-0, on Cepeda and Julian Javier home runs and his own two RBIs. He struck out fourteen while setting the Cardinal team record of eleven shutouts. In his next start in Cincinnati, Gibson dueled Gary Nolan for nine scoreless innings. Javier's solo clout in the tenth off Ted Abernathy gave Gibby a 1-0 win, his twentieth–and his twelfth "Chicago." It also could have been number eighteen in a row, except for Stargell's two clutch swings.
Gibson faced San Francisco's Bob Bolin next in St. Louis. Bolin would finish the season with the second best National League ERA at 1.99. West Coast Bob managed a 3-2 win on hits from Jack Hiatt and Jim Ray Hart. After beating Los Angeles, 5-4, Gibson took on Gaylord Perry at the 'Stick. As it turned out, the Giants were the only team to hold an edge on Gibby (three wins, one loss) during his extraordinary campaign, and Perry's 1-0 no-hitter was a case of Bob getting a dose of his own unhittable medicine. Ron Hunt's first-inning, one-out home run (only his second of the year, the other was off Cub Bill Hands) won the game. Gaylord was the only pitcher to best Gibson twice in 1968, allowing a total of two hits in two games–his best two performances. The next day Card Washburn no-hit the Bay hosts. Gibson ended the year first by losing at Los Angeles, 3-2, as Willie Crawford homered for a second time off him, then beating visiting Houston's Larry Dierker, 1-0, on a Curt Flood RBI. It was his thirteenth shutout and still ranks second in the twentieth century only to Grover Alexander's honored mark of sixteen in Deadball 1916. In his final ten starts of the year, Gibson averaged ten Ks per game. Nine times during the year he gave up a single run in nine innings. Six of those tallies came with two outs. Four players–Hunt, Dietz, Spangler and Charles–hit their only career homers off Gibson in 1968. Gibby walked Giant Dietz four times, the most of any batter he faced that year.
Inside numbers–As you can see in the following inning-by-inning run chart, Gibson had a rough seventh frame, allowing his most runs by far and six of the eleven homers he gave up. In first innings, he gave up three blasts and that infamous wild pitch that ruined the scoreless streak. He went twenty-seven straight games without allowing an earned run in the first inning. Though Marichal pitched more innings and won an National League-high 26 games, Gibson got all the votes for the Cy Young Award and beat out Pete Rose for MVP.
Partly prompting this flashback description was the 1999 performance of Boston's Pedro Martinez and his similar dominance over the American League. In some ways Gibson's feat was more pronounced, in other ways not as much. Gibby pitched to pitchers while Martinez battled Designated Hitters; Pedro had more offense to deal with, but Gibson had more patient hitters and more quality mound foes. Bob completed many more games, while a closer usually came on for Martinez. Comparisons are many and most are futile. Both years are simply fantastic.R/In. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Total

With the immense help of Retrosheet, I list below the statistics of batters who faced Gibson in 1968. Astro Rusty Staub had to face Gibby the most, but he did extremely well (7 for 20, .350). Cub Kessinger matched him for the most hits. Don's Wrigley mate Billy Williams did the most damage with two home runs and four RBIs, going 5 for 15.

'We're not going anywhere': Julián Castro's campaign meets $800K goal
WASHINGTON – Julián Castro, former HUD Secretary and 2020 Democratic hopeful, announced Friday that his campaign raised the $800,000 necessary to stay in the race.
Castro told supporters on Oct. 21st that he needed to raise the money in 10 days or "I'll have no choice but to end my race for president."
His campaign said Friday in a statement it received more than $1 million in October from "nearly 50,000 donors." They also said Thursday, the last day of October, was the best fundraising day of the campaign.

Castro campaign manager Maya Rupert said, "Time and time again this campaign has defied expectations with the support of an army of dedicated, grassroots supporters. We set an extremely ambitious goal to keep Secretary Castro's voice in this race, and our supporters met the challenge and delivered one of the best months of the campaign to date."
"THANK YOU!" Castro tweeted with a thank you video. "We're going to keep pushing to make the debates and raise issues others won't address. Thank you for your support."
Castro, the former Housing and Urban Development secretary under President Barack Obama, has struggled to make waves in a crowded Democratic field.
Castro, the former Housing and Urban Development secretary under President Barack Obama, has now met the fundraising requirement for the next November debate, but has yet to meet the polling threshold needed to qualify. Candidates need to get at least 3% support nationally or 5% in early states in four polls. Castro hasn't met any of the polling requirements. He has until Nov. 13 to qualify for the Nov. 20 debate.
"We're not going anywhere," Rupert said Friday.

All data in this report are preliminary; data for previous dates will be updated as new reports are received and data errors are corrected. Deaths reported to the either the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) or Department of Public Health (DPH) are included in the COVID-19 update. The following data show the number of COVID-19 cases and associated deaths per 100,000 population by race and ethnicity. Crude rates represent the total cases or deaths per 100,000 people. Age-adjusted rates consider the age of the person at diagnosis or death when estimating the rate and use a standardized population to provide a fair comparison between population groups with different age distributions. Age-adjustment is important in Connecticut as the median age of among the non-Hispanic white population is 47 years, whereas it is 34 years among non-Hispanic blacks, and 29 years among Hispanics. Because most non-Hispanic white residents who died were over 75 years of age, the age-adjusted rates are lower than the unadjusted rates. In contrast, Hispanic residents who died tend to be younger than 75 years of age which results in higher age-adjusted rates. The age-adjusted rates are directly standardized using the 2018 ASRH Connecticut population estimate denominators (available here: https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Health-Information-Systems--Reporting/Population/Annual-State--County-Population-with-Demographics). Rates are standardized to the 2000 US Millions Standard population (data available here: https://seer.cancer.gov/stdpopulations/). Standardization was done using 19 age groups (0, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, ..., 80-84, 85 years and older). More information about direct standardization for age adjustment is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/statnt/statnt06rv.pdf Categories are mutually exclusive. The category "multiracial" includes people who answered 'yes' to more than one race category. Counts may not add up to total case counts as data on race and ethnicity may be missing. Age adjusted rates calculated only for groups with more than 20 deaths. Abbreviation: NH=Non-Hispanic. This dataset will be updated on a daily basis. Data are subject to future revision as reporting changes. Starting in July 2020, this dataset will be updated every weekday. Additional notes: A delay in the data pull schedule occurred on 06/23/2020. Data from 06/22/2020 was processed on 06/23/2020 at 3:30 PM. The normal data cycle resumed with the data for 06/23/2020. A network outage on 05/19/2020 resulted in a change in the data pull schedule. Data from 5/19/2020 was processed on 05/20/2020 at 12:00 PM. Data from 5/20/2020 was processed on 5/20/2020 8:30 PM. The normal data cycle resumed on 05/20/2020 with the 8:30 PM data pull. As a result of the network outage, the timestamp on the datasets on the Open Data Portal differ from the timestamp in DPH's daily PDF reports.
CT School Learning Model Indicators by Countydata.ct.gov | Last Updated 2020-09-25T18:36:17.000Z
This dataset includes the leading and secondary metrics identified by the Connecticut Department of Health (DPH) and the Department of Education (CSDE) to support local district decision-making on the level of in-person, hybrid (blended), and remote learning model for Pre K-12 education. Data represent daily averages for each week by date of specimen collection (cases and positivity), date of hospital admission, or date of ED visit. Hospitalization data come from the Connecticut Hospital Association and are based on hospital location, not county of patient residence. COVID-19-like illness includes fever and cough or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing or the presence of coronavirus diagnosis code and excludes patients with influenza-like illness. All data are preliminary. These data are updated weekly; the previous week period for each dataset is the previous Sunday-Saturday, known as an MMWR week (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/document/MMWR_week_overview.pdf). The date listed is the date the dataset was last updated and corresponds to a reporting period of the previous MMWR week. For instance, the data for 8/20/2020 corresponds to a reporting period of 8/9/2020-8/15/2020. These metrics were adapted from recommendations by the Harvard Global Institute and supplemented by existing DPH measures. For national data on COVID-19, see COVID View, the national weekly surveillance summary of U.S. COVID-19 activity, at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html Notes: 9/25/2020: Data for Mansfield and Middletown for the week of Sept 13-19 were unavailable at the time of reporting due to delays in lab reporting.

How does your organization use this dataset? What other NYSERDA or energy-related datasets would you like to see on Open NY? Let us know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. The Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) New York State (NYS) Census Population Analysis dataset is resultant from the LMI market database designed by APPRISE as part of the NYSERDA LMI Market Characterization Study (https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/lmi-tool). All data are derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) files for 2013, 2014, and 2015. Each row in the LMI dataset is an individual record for a household that responded to the survey and each column is a variable of interest for analyzing the low- to moderate-income population. The LMI dataset includes: county/county group, households with elderly, households with children, economic development region, income groups, percent of poverty level, low- to moderate-income groups, household type, non-elderly disabled indicator, race/ethnicity, linguistic isolation, housing unit type, owner-renter status, main heating fuel type, home energy payment method, housing vintage, LMI study region, LMI population segment, mortgage indicator, time in home, head of household education level, head of household age, and household weight. The LMI NYS Census Population Analysis dataset is intended for users who want to explore the underlying data that supports the LMI Analysis Tool. The majority of those interested in LMI statistics and generating custom charts should use the interactive LMI Analysis Tool at https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/lmi-tool. This underlying LMI dataset is intended for users with experience working with survey data files and producing weighted survey estimates using statistical software packages (such as SAS, SPSS, or Stata).
Concentrations of Protected Classes from Analysis of Impedimentsdata.austintexas.gov | Last Updated 2019-07-29T17:26:04.000Z
A new component of fair housing studies is an analysis of the opportunities residents are afforded in "racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty," also called RCAPs or ECAPs. An RCAP or ECAP is a neighborhood with significant concentrations of extreme poverty and minority populations. HUD's definition of an RCAP/ECAP is: • A Census tract that has a non‐white population of 50 percent or more AND a poverty rate of 40 percent or more; OR • A Census tract that has a non‐white population of 50 percent or more AND the poverty rate is three times the average tract poverty rate for the metro/micro area, whichever is lower. Why the 40 percent threshold? The RCAP/ECAP definition is not meant to suggest that a slightly‐lower‐than‐40 percent poverty rate is ideal or acceptable. The threshold was borne out of research that concluded a 40 percent poverty rate was the point at which a neighborhood became significantly socially and economically challenged. Conversely, research has shown that areas with up to 14 percent of poverty have no noticeable effect on community opportunity. (See Section II in City of Austin's 2015 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice: http://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/NHCD/Reports_Publications/1Analysis_Impediments_for_web.pdf) This dataset provides socioeconomic data on protected classes from the 2008-2012 American Community Survey on census tracts in Austin's city limits and designates which of those tracts are considered RCAPs or ECAPs based on these socioeconomic characteristics. A map of the census tracts designated as RCAPs or ECAPs is attached to this dataset and downloadable as a pdf (see below).

Ha! You are thinking to yourself – How does Survivorman, trekking through the wilderness compare to running a race? It's not a big leap and is a great metaphor for life. TV binge watching can bring some great perspectives when you weren't expecting them. Survivorman Saturday, what a great TV binge!
Survivorman AKA Les Stroud (http://www.lesstroud.ca/survivorman/) shows us how he stays alive in the wilderness. He uses wit, planning and sometimes just good luck. Sometimes when you are running a race, that's about all you can think of.. staying alive and finishing. Now that's a bit dramatic, but you get the point.
Mr. Stroud, in one episode told the story of an experienced hiker, out for a day trip and never came back because he FORGOT several key tips that you should NEVER forget, no matter who you are and your skill level.
Survivorman Tips:
- Are you physically fit for what you are doing? This certainly applies to running. We have heard stories about people getting injured and even dying because they are not at the fitness level for the activity.
- Do you have the right gear? He was talking about something warm, good hiking boots, tent, etc. I'm talking about shoes that fit, clothes that don't rub and the ever wonderful glide for those spots that like to rub (ouch). Additionally, do you have hydration and nutrition available – all "gear" to a runner.
- Know your route and go with what you know – sometimes the path of least resistance can be your downfall. Survivorman was talking about looking down a steep incline and thinking you could get down faster (and risking a fall or worse). I am talking about speeding up on those downhills to catch up on your time and then wondering why your quads are fried and your knees hurt at the end? Also knowing your route will help you a) get to the race – oh yes, I fell into that trap. Living about 20 minutes from one of my races, Miss Smartypants (AKA – me) thought she could just dash right over – duh… check the road closures that were up for the full marathon and bike race… It's not just about your personal race….Sigh… (P.S. I did make it for the second wave of runners). Also know your running route, you'll know the ups and downs better so you are prepared.
- Last – do you have the will to survive? Survivorman says those with a strong will to live generally do survive, because they will take the time needed to figure things out and not panic or give up. Ok, so this may be a little bit over the top for a run – but when I got caught up in all the traffic, I almost said – forget it, go back home and have a cup of coffee and read the paper – but NO, I said to myself – so you don't get there in time, not everyone is starting at 7:30 (next time be prepared and go back to point #3).
Then during the run I was hot and tired – OK, so I'm hot and tired, talk to self —- "self- just run slower"… OK so I kept going and said to myself – "this is not going to be a good race, but you are going to finish hydrated, uninjured and run hard over the finish line". CHECK! Did it…Finish time- not so good. Lesson Learned.

Wedding response cards let the bride and groom know not only how many guests will attend their wedding, but also the exact names of the guests attending, and their requested meal choices, if that is an option. It is important to send an R.S.V.P card back to the bride and groom as soon as possible, and always before the requested due date, because the couple must submit headcounts to their vendors to ensure the right amount of food and drink, favors and chairs are ordered.
Understand who exactly is invited to the wedding by looking at the names on the inner envelope. If children are invited to the reception, their names should be listed on the inner envelope. When in doubt, it's best to talk to the mother of the bride or a bridal party member. You do not want to R.S.V.P. for guests who were not intended to be invited.
Fill out the names of the guests who will be attending using a salutation and first and last names on the line that starts with "M," "Guests" or "Names." The "M" is the start of "Mr." or "Ms." For example, you might continue the "M" line with "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" or "Ms. Jane Doe."
Mark an "X" next to the appropriate line indicating whether you accept or decline the invitation.
Choose a dinner entrée by writing the number requested next to the meal choice. If one person wants fish and one person wants chicken, the numeral "1" should be written next to both options.
Indicate the number of guests attending by filling in the numeral of guests next to "Number of Persons" or "Number of Guests."

There are 15 flyers for in-game businesses that you can collect from houses or businesses that you break into. Each flyer is for a separate business—you can collect duplicates, but that won't count toward your overall total. You'll get a notification that one has been added to your journal whenever you collect a new flyer. Flyer locations are randomized, so you'll need to break into many houses and businesses in order to find all of them. However, they also respawn, so if an area refreshes, you have another chance of finding a flyer there.

My sister died of cancer one week ago at the age of 39 and leaving behind a 5 year old son. I regret I didn't spend more time with her because I didn't want to go to the park or do other "entertain the children" activities (I have none). She was the most lovely sister in the world. You simply don't realize the clock is ticking. Now I will go to the park with her son more often. But she will not join us and that is super painful.
One thought on "Today's Secret Regret"
So sorry to hear about your sister. That is good that you will spend more time with her children. She would love that. My sympathies for your loss.

Above, a living room by Eddie Ross that's a master study in combining colors, patterns, and eras.
The perfectly matched look does make a room feel polished, but it can often lack character. Adding a little contrast through color, pattern, or shape can have a powerful effect in such interiors, even through a small accessory. But, the process of mixing and matching can feel intimidating, especially if you're used to approaching an interior with formal restraint. This is one area of décor that is about letting go — both of the "rules" and your own habits of what you normally incorporate in a room.
Take, for example, the above interior by Eddie Ross. While the elements at first glance feel like they shouldn't go together, a careful study of the room reveals a distinct theme: Many of the colors were picked up from the fabulous drapes. From here, different patterns in these colors were combined, but because they have similar hues, they work. The eye harmonizes these elements, allowing the bold zebra rug and antique stool to grab the eye.
Want more inspiration for mixing and matching? Look no further than these other three spaces:
The space: A blue-and-white bedroom by Mark D. Sikes
Here's even more proof that you can never go wrong with blue and white. In this bright and airy bedroom, a range of patterns harmonizes through a shared color palette. We also love the different textures here, from the woven rug to the polished wood.
The space: A Greenwich living room by Ashley Whittaker
This elegant living room offers a more subtle take on mixing and matching. The diamond-patterned rug contrasts with the chunky woven basket in front of the fireplace, along with the Greek-key ottoman and the Ikat pillows.
The space: Viviane in Beverly Hills, by Kelly Wearstler
Even outdoor spaces can indulge in contrast. At this Beverly Hills hot spot, a bold geometric mural counters the rounded lines of the seating in each space. The assorted upholstery patterns? Simply perfect.
If you're inspired to start mixing and matching, start with pattern. Try one of these patterned pieces currently available at Viyet:

Touch the Sky
Outdoor Foundation
"Touch the Sky is the climbing communities way of giving back to new, young climbers and encouraging them through safe, adventurous activities at Spire or surrounding crags in Montana and beyond. And, a new Scholarship Fund in the honor of Inge Perkins, a program dedicated to supporting young women to challenge themselves mentally and physically."
- Ryan Holm, Director of Marketing, MYSTERY RANCH
Touch the Sky introduces kids and teens to the mental and physical joys of rock climbing in safe, fun, inspiring environments. With every trip to the great outdoors, Touch the Sky shares the importance of appreciation and stewardship of the environment with the next generation of climbers, trailblazers, and world-changers.
The organization started in 1996 by Tom Wells. Tom saw a need in the community to provide mentorship to kids who were interested in outdoor climbing (this was a time where very few climbing gyms existed around the country). Touch the Sky was, and still is, a way to pass on climbing skills and knowledge to youth who otherwise didn't have anyone to learn from in the community.
The mission of Touch the Sky is to get kids outside through rock climbing. Many people learn by doing, and sometimes by failure as much as success. Kids need freedom to experiment and play, but also need a safety net and boundaries. As climbing educators, we treat each youth we work with in this capacity. Climbing is more accessible than ever before, but good mentors are hard to find.
Both, Touch the Sky and MYSTERY RANCH, have deep Montana roots. Both organizations have grown and adapted as the community has developed, but both organizations have stayed true to their respective goals-to serve the community with a service and product that is unique and authentic.

KUALA LUMPUR: Beginning next year, Sept 16, which is Malaysia Day has been declared a public holiday.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the day would involve activities that would foster the 1Malaysia spirit.
He added this meant Malaysians would have a twin celebration, to commemorate the country's independence starting next year
Najib said National Day on Aug 31 would be celebrated with formal events such as a parade to commemorate the historical moment and it would remind the people about the struggle in achieving independence from the colonists.
He made the announcement during the question-and-answer session at Parliament on Monday.
Najib said Sabah and Sarawak, which joined Malaysia in 1963 and the formation of Malaysia as an independent country was a very important moment in history.
"We want the joy and sorrows of the people in Sabah and Sarawak to be felt by the people in the Peninsula," he said.
"Therefore, I would like to announce to the people of Malaysia that the Cabinet has recently made the decision to celebrate Hari Malaysia on Sept 16 starting 2010."
Malaysia Day would be celebrated with events that would foster closer unity, understanding between the different races and community success and achievement through sports, social culture and arts, to spur the 1Malaysia spirit, he added.

This week's mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada reminds us: life can be short. Our time on Earth is precious. What do you want to do before you die?
And then what? Less than 30% of adults make any end-of-life plans. That leaves 70% of our loved ones scrambling to gather information and make expensive decisions under duress of grief. It doesn't have to be that way.
The inaugural Before I Die ABQ festival will honestly, humanely, and even humorously answer your questions. From October 20-25, 2017, hundreds of people in Albuquerque, New Mexico will participate in activities to help us address our eventual 100% mortality rate. Activities, many free or low-cost, include:
- Before I Die walls at Central New Mexico Community College and Sunset Memorial Park, to publicly declare our goals.
- Field trips to cemeteries, a casket making workshop, the Office of the Medical Investigator, and a ghost tour.
- An art show on cremation, movies, yoga and meditation sessions on life and death.
- Sessions on green burial, financial, medical, funeral and estate planning issues.
- The "Prelude to Eternity" Death Over Dinner experience in a cemetery, with music and theatrical readings.
- Death Cafes to discuss what's on your heart or mind about mortality issues.
Attendees at all Before I Die ABQ Festival events can enter a drawing for a free cremation from The Neptune Society of Albuquerque and a cedar "coff-urn" from The Old Pine Box.
View the entire Before I Die ABQ Festival schedule at this page at www.BeforeIDieABQ.com.
Festival coordinator and pioneering death educator Gail Rubin is available for interviews. Megan Kamerick with local NPR station KUNM-FM did this interview, Festival Invites People to Talk About Death. Albuquerque Business First did this story, "New ABQ festival tells what you're dying to know."

Embracing the Aloha Spirit as they take to the court, the February 8 NBL game between the Sydney Kings and Melbourne United at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena will have a Hawai'i theme to align with sponsor, Hawai'i Tourism Oceania.
A sponsor throughout the 2018-2019 season, Hawai'i Tourism Oceania have opted for this Friday nights' Sydney Kings home game to represent the Aloha State with a Hula Cam, Hawaiian music and cultural performances.
The Sydney Kings' affiliation with Hawai'i began in September 2018 when they competed against the LA Clippers in Honolulu within the NBA league.
Giselle Radulovic, Country Manager Australia for Hawai'i Tourism Oceania said the partnership with the Sydney Kings was advantageous for both the team and the tourism board.
"Australian travellers enjoy keeping active while on holiday and look for sporting activities to take part in and spectate while overseas. With this in mind, we aligned with the Sydney Kings before their game in Honolulu, promoting the variety of sporting experiences in Hawai'i," Radulovic said.
Recently winning 107-91 against the Brisbane Bullets, the Sydney Kings have locked in their second NBL finals appearance in almost a decade, currently sitting third on the 2018-2019 season ladder.
Sponsored by Hawai'i Tourism Oceania, Aqua Aston Hospitality and Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites, the Sydney Kings is offering fans the chance to win a trip to Hawai'i through an online competition including return flights and five nights' accommodation for two people.

Few people know how to play to a crowd as well as our ex-governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who bestowed a lifetime achievement award on Sylvester Stallone. But the highlight came just as Michelle Monaghan was about to present her representative, Jennifer Allen, with a citation as Publicist of the Year, another client rushed on stage in his bathrobe, as if he'd just been woken up. Matt Damon apologized for being late and explained that normally Jennifer arranges his schedule and this time she hadn't, leaving him to fend for himself. One can only admire a movie star who cares enough to prepare and pull off such a stunt…and it certainly says a lot about Allen, who is a thorough professional and a pleasure to deal with.
He's been a soldier ("The Green Zone"), a poker player ("Rounders"), a corrupt cop ("The Departed") and a South African rugby player ("Invictus"). Is there anything he can't play? Dumb, maybe.
"No, BEN's the smart one," he jokes, talking about his pal and sometime writing and producing partner, Ben Affleck.
"Matt managed to conceal his native intelligence in 'The Informant,'" says his "True Grit" co-director Joel Coen. "He can do anything including NOT showing how smart he is."
"But you do sense a cunning there, don't you?" asks Ethan Coen, the other guy who directed Damon in "True Grit."
"True, true," Joel agrees. "There's always the cunning."
"I've seen the magic trick, up close. A LOT," Damon says. "I've worked with some of the best actors in this business, and there's something that happens when you're opposite a great actor…DeNiro, Duval, Morgan Freeman. You know when you're being lifted and carried away by a great actor. Emily's like that."
Damon just finished another movie – "Contagion" — with his friend, director Steven Soderbergh, and he has a role in Soderbergh's planned Liberace film biography starring Michael Douglas, playing the piano-playing showman's lover.
"Steven's one of those "great directors who have given me really different roles, and what that makes me is just another character actor, but one who occasionally gets to play the lead."
And the actor will try to exercise more control over his own fate than his character in "The Adjustment Bureau" seems to enjoy. It's not easy, even when you're one of the biggest names in the movies.
"It's a reactive business. You can't plan it. We just respond to what's out there…Sometimes you go someplace new and people will want to come with you. And sometimes you fail. That's determinism in Hollywood, I guess."

What to Pack for a Safari
Part of the excitement of a trip comes in the preparation and planning beforehand. Knowing what to pack for your first safari can be a challenge, though.
To make it easier, our Africa experts have compiled a comprehensive list of what to pack for a safari. With this list, you can avoid those 'I wish I had this with me' or 'why did I bring all of these' moments...
What clothes to pack
The sometimes erratic weather conditions can make packing for a safari a challenge. One thing to remember is that despite the potentially scorching temperatures during the day, the early mornings and evenings can be surprisingly chilly, so it's a good idea to bring trousers and a warm jumper or fleece. Layers are always good in cooler weather. A light but warm down body-warmer jacket that can be compacted down is a must for early and game drives during the African winter, which is when most of our safaris take place.
Windbreakers and waterproof rain jackets are equally as important for rainy and windy days. For the glorious sunshine, be prepared with a wide-brimmed hat. The power of the sun's rays shouldn't be underestimated and you'll want something to cover your face, ears and neck. Another item which isn't necessarily a given but can come in handy is a bandana or headscarf. You'll be able to protect your head, neck, and let's face it, you'll look cool.
Pack light – if ever there was a time to travel light, it's on a safari. Make travelling to and from the lodges as seamless as possible by just taking the essentials: you don't want to get caught out with luggage weight restrictions and charges. You will definitely need polarised sunglasses (another tip: for those with contact lenses it's a good idea to take standard glasses on account of the dust). Finally, don't forget a swimming costume for the plunge pool!
Dress comfortably – stay cool in the afternoon sun with light fabrics and just be aware that you'll want to dress as comfortably as possible for the long days out. Changeable lengths and sizes is also a good idea: for example, shirts that will protect shoulders from the sun but also have sleeves that can be rolled up, or longer trousers that can convert into capris.
There's a lot of talk around what colours to wear on safari. In reality, you can wear any colour although many people do stick to the traditional beige, khaki and olive. Lighter colours will help you stay cool, so a white shirt – although it may get muddy – wouldn't go amiss. If you're in doubt, speak to your travel designer.
Aim for high quality shirts and trousers appropriate for safaris. We recommend the new BUGTech range that have effective insect repellent embedded in the fabric. Most lodges have no problem with safari gear or informal wear for dinner – that's part of the charm! – but if you're heading somewhere very upscale, you might want to pack a shirt or two for men or a summery dress for women.
Photography on safari
For photography fanatics, the question of what camera equipment to take will not be a hard one to address. However, for those who want to take some good safari snaps but are not following the latest photography trend, do not fear. Now, smartphones are all you need with you.
The skeptics who resist believing that a smartphone is capable of capturing amazing wildlife shots, can check out this blog entry from one of our favourite safari camp companies, Londolozi. Our particular favourite is the very clever image of the leopard through the binoculars.
Let's not forget the importance of the 'selfie' either. There are prime selfie moments on safari, as our Jacada travel experts, Byron and George (left) can prove. Another great gadget to consider for a safari is the GoPro. Document your safari with this little lightweight (and waterproof) camera, that can take videos as well as stills.
Health essentials on safari
Why? Handy to take out unwanted thorns.
Why? As soothing as the sounds of Mother Nature can be, there will be times where you'll want to get your uninterrupted rest before an early wake-up call.
Antibacterial gel
Why? You won't always have access to soap and for the occasional pitstop, you might be grateful for a little bottle of antibacterial gel.
Wet wipes
Why? Again, these will be useful when you just want to freshen up, whether it's wiping dust off your face or just cleaning your hands.
Sunscreen and insect repellent
Why? These two are necessities and you'll need a substantial amount of both as you'll get through them quicker than you think. Opt for gels and sprays as opposed to creams or lotions, as they're mess-free and easier to apply. Remember that the bottles should be travel-friendly and not too strong or overpowering in scent.
Torch: Torches (flashlights) are great for children and adults alike for evenings at the camps. Despite the fact that the guides will have torches and that the area will be well lit, a torch is just an extra bit of comfort if you wake in the night or just want more light. Here's a great one our experts wouldn't travel without.
Binoculars: Again, the majority of the time on Jacada tours there will be a spare set of binoculars on the vehicle. This being said, your own pair of binoculars is something you'll cherish on the trip and will not want to leave the lodge in the morning without. We recommend a magnification of at least 8×30.
Batteries and chargers: This sounds like we're stating the obvious, but things like torches will depend on an extra set of batteries, as cameras will depend on their chargers. You wouldn't want to be up-close and personal to any of the Big Five and have not have your camera fully charged and at the ready. A great tip here is to take a fully charged back-up powerbank – these can be small and compact and yet hold a lot of charge for recharging on the go without access to powerpoints. They often come with multiple adaptors to charge all your devices.
Luggage: You'll want to take manageable luggage with you. Luggage that will not require too much effort to carry across difficult terrain and that will respect the various guidelines and restrictions. With this in mind you may want to avoid rigid, wheeled cases and go for something relatively compact and adaptable to your modes of transport.

(Ode to Tongues)
If self-praise
Be none,
Who speaks for
The tongue?
None can,
For to man
The heard word
Is more than
The sword...
Not the pen,
The ear
More smit
By the spoke
Than the writ.
Most don't read
But all must heed
When suddenly
By a phrase
Fitly turned,
Or a word
Like a dart
In the
Argument's heart,
The sudden pain
Of a blade
In the brain
From a word
Swiftly set
By tongue's
Of all
Speakers among,
Who but
The tongue
Can cleverly speak
With himself
In his cheek,
Sarcasm in finery
Dressed up
As irony?
Then tongue
Says to ear,
"Readers take note.
When you shall hear,
That's all she wrote!"
And if no ear
Will fear
Tongue's mighty word,
Just pout a pout
Stick it out
And flip the
Facial bird!
In matters
Of food,
To gulp
Is just rude
And distasteful.
Why haste?
Should preside
In matters
Of taste.
Prior to gullet
Let the tongue
Mull it,
Savor the flavor.
We salivate
We masticate
We eat and eat
We're glad we ate
So much for tongue
We think
But wait
Sans tongue
We couldn't
Ululate, dictate,
Narrate, orate,
Alliterate, or conjugate,
Elucidate, equivocate,
Expectorate, negotiate,
Intimidate, or intimate,
Prevaricate, vituperate,
Recriminate, or iterate.
And tongue
Is the mallet
On a good
Yodeler's palate.
If gossip
And blabbing
Lead to
Back stabbing,
Other role
Is damage
When best
To give it
A rest,
Curing violence
With silence.
Dumb down
The mood
And just eat
Your feud.
Or even forked
Tongue won't
Be denied
Win or lose
Never tied.
Also fine
Is tongue's design
For keeping rabid
Teeth in line,
Rehashing, and
With a good
Tongue lashing.
While chewing
The fat,
Teeth can
Chew on that!
And stop the
Lose the
No pins, no rings,
No nuts or bolts
Or piercing things.
Neighbors will gag
And tongues will wag.
Give your
Pierced sister
A simple
Tongue twister...
The'll be a lithper.
But all else above
Is tongue's role
In love,
For wooing,
Billing and cooing.
If lips be
For kissing

Rebel Heart by LK Farlow
Genres: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 26, 2018
Buy Now: Amazon
She wants to see him get wild and he thinks she needs Jesus.
When AJ Adams is coerced into tutoring Brock Larson, she can't help but wonder what she's done to deserve such an epic punishment. He's the very definition of an All-American good boy—and a total kiss ass. He's the perfect son, the perfect student, and according to rumor, by far the best golfer the university has ever seen. Puh-lease. If he's so perfect, why does he need tutoring?
With his British Literature grade circling the drain, Brock knows he needs help. But when he meets his tutor, he can't believe his friggin' luck. Abby Jane no longer resembles the childhood best friend he used to play hide and seek with. No, she's all attitude and pink hair and tattoos. Oh, and she hates him, so that's a plus.
Brock and AJ couldn't clash more and antagonizing one another is just too easy. But, as they spend more time together, the lines begin to blur, leading them to realize they have more in common than what meets the eye.
Hate. Lust. Love. They all look the same when you're in denial, and everyone knows you can't control your rebel heart.
I first fell in love with the author's writing back in August 2017 when she released her debut novel, Coming Up Roses, the first book in her phenomenally captivating Southern Roots series. Since then I have been full on fangirl stalking this lady and her books just keep getting better and better! This lady can do no wrong and I am so freaking excited that I can say that I've been following her impressive career as a published author since the very beginning!
Ever since the author announced that she was writing this story I have been eagerly anticipating getting my greedy little hands on it because I had no doubt in my mind that this was going to be a hole in one (pun totally intended)!
Rebel Heart has got to be LK Farlow's best story to date and although all of her past releases have been beyond incredible, nothing can compare to how this story made me feel! Although I have deeply love and adored all of the author's past characters, they have got nothing on AJ and Brock. My goodness these two took control of my heart right from the beginning and held on tight until the very end! AJ's take no crap sassy attitude was the perfect balance to Brock's cocky and determined self. Readers won't be able to resist these two for a second!
The Tutor meets the Jock in this brand new not so typical story about second chances! Make sure to one-click your copy of Rebel Heart and discover just what I mean!
About LK Farlow
LK Farlow (A.K.A Kate) is a small town girl with a love for words. She's been writing stories for as long she can remember. A Southern girl through and through, Kate resides in beautiful, sunny LA–that's Lower Alabama, y'all–with her amazing husband and three rambunctious children. When she's not writing, you can find her snuggled up on the couch watching car shows while she crochets or with her nose in a book.

Detailed Description Of [email protected] ransomware
[email protected] ransomware is a file encrypting malware and has been identified as an updated version of its predecessor. The ransomware is capable of encrypting files of various formats using a strong and secure encryption code. Users may find their files in non-working condition as soon as the ransomware launches its attack. It is even capable of making unwanted changes in crucial system's settings that allows it to relaunch itself. [email protected] ransomware has been found to delete shadow volume copies of windows operatign system that makes it difficult to obtain the files, but an advanced tool, such as the one provided here, can be of immense help to an affected user in recovering their files. It has been observed that the ransomware uses deceiving means to spread itself widely. [email protected] ransomware has been identified to use spam messages to alarm users by sending documents drafted as invoice, purchase order, account detail and bank receipts to make them believe in the legitimacy of these contents. The subject lines of these mails have been using different templates that allows it to evade inbuilt messaging spam filters. It has also been observed that the documents use names and designs of reputed firms to further its claim of validation. Users may unknowingly click on the attachments that contain the ransomware embedded as a macro. [email protected] ransomware has also been found to be using software bundling mechanisms to evade users scrutiny. The payloads are bundled-up with freeware and are hidden as valid file formats such as archives, which immediately get installed along with the other applications.
[email protected] ransomware can be observed to encrypt various files such as texts, images, audio files, video clips, presentations, databases, spreadsheets, backups and archives. The files can immediately become unrecognizable to the operating system and hence cannot be executed by it. They get an extension and get renamed with that extension being appended to the end of the previous file name. [email protected] ransomware leaves a ransom note within all existing folders and the desktop that contains information regarding the attack. The note asks affected users to contact the threat actors at an email id. [email protected] ransomware informs the users that they can receive further instructions upon contacting them using their personal identifier, which consists of random characters. Since the ransom note does not give details regarding the ransom amount that needs to be paid by users in order to obtain a decryption key, it would be safe to assume that it can be negotiated. However it is unsafe and users can remove the ransomware by following this post.

Winnipeg (CNS Canada) – The majority of Saskatchewan received much needed rain during the week ended June 4, which helped alleviate concerns over dry field conditions, according to the latest crop report from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture.
Precipitation levels varied across the province, with some southwestern areas receiving very little, while many fields in the southeast were reportedly saturated and flooded. Fields and roads were flooded in many areas of the southeast and it will be some time before they are dry enough to be accessed, according to the report. In contrast, the southwestern region remained very dry as it received little rainfall over the past few months. There are concerns that crop and hay yields in the region will be affected if rain does not arrive soon.
Topsoil moisture conditions improved in much of the province, thanks to the recent rainfall. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland were rated as 12 per cent surplus, 67 per cent adequate, 18 per cent short and three per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture was rated as seven per cent surplus, 63 per cent adequate, 25 per cent short and five per cent very short.
Seeding operations neared completion, despite rain delays in some areas. Ninety-six per cent of the crop was seeded as of June 4, up from 91 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average of 90 per cent for this time of year. Seeding was furthest advanced in the south, where 98 per cent of the crop was in the ground. The east-central region still had the most to go, at 93 per cent seeded.
Crop growth was delayed in much of the province and most crops were behind their normal developmental stages for this time of year. The majority of crop damage during the past week was due to localized flooding, lack of moisture, hail, strong winds and insects such as flea beetles and cutworms.
Farmers are busy finishing seeding and completing in-crop pesticide applications when they can, according to the report.
