Buffy's having a really strange day.
Chapter six, and matters are starting to move towards a climax. Characters, in order of appearance: Buffy, Dawn and Willow. Rating PG. 901 words. Chapter One is here.
Ch. 6 - in which Buffy has lunch
Not wanting to risk going back into the shop, Buffy changed out of her old sweatpants in the mall's restroom - making sure to go into the right one this time. The row of urinals along one wall had completely freaked her out: did men really stand there right out in the open where any complete stranger could see them? She almost wondered for a moment if she would be expected to strip off in the middle of the floor to change into her new trousers as well, but quickly common sense prevailed and she locked herself safely into one of the cubicles.
By the time she arrived home again it was lunchtime. She pushed open the front door and was about to call out when she heard Dawn's voice being raised from the kitchen.
"What do you mean she went out?" She was sick!"
Willow's reply was a soothing murmur that Buffy failed to catch. Silently, she crept forward.
"If she's just going to make excuses to avoid going out with me, then she can keep her stupid..."
"Dawnie, no! It's not like that at all. There is something wrong with your sister. It's just not... the normal kind of wrong."
"That's not news. Are you saying there's something else wrong with her as well, then?"
"She's uh, she's not really herself at the moment. She..."
Buffy decided it was time to announce her presence, calling out from the corridor. "I'm under a spell, Dawn. Don't worry, it's only temporary."
"Huh. I thought it was something, y'know, dangerous or freaky. So what have you turned into? Can I look?"
And with that Dawn dashed through the door, saw Buffy standing there, and came to a dead stop. She blinked; tilted her head to one side... and then snorted in disgust.
"God, is that all? I thought you might have become some scaley demon or a giant insect or something. So you're a man. Big deal. What's for lunch?"
Now it was Buffy's turn to roll her eyes. "Nice to see you care so much. I've bought some beef and some potatoes; I fancy a fry-up."
"For lunch? Buffy, what's gotten into you?"
From the table, Willow interjected drily, "Clearly she's turning more male by the hour."
"We've got to kill her now, before it's too late."
"Uh, Dawnie, card-carrying lesbian feminist here and even I think killing her for being a man is a little extreme."
"Suppose so. Can we lock her in the basement instead?"
"Spike's down there, remember."
"So? They're both men now, aren't they? Hey, maybe they could do that Greek wrestling stuff together. Y'know, with oil?"
"Dawn! Shut up, you unnatural child!" Buffy tried hard to suppress the image her sister just conjured in her mind. She couldn't quite manage it. "There'll be no wrestling and definitely no oil of any kind! You're worse than Anya. I'd just like to eat my lunch in peace and then hopefully we can change me back to normal." The last part of her sentence was directed at Willow, and she raised her eyebrows hopefully.
"It's looking good, actually, Buff. I think I've narrowed it down to just a couple of possibilities, and I... ooh! Wait a minute."
Willow scowled in concentration as she turned and stared at her computer screen, then started clicking the mouse rapidly, muttering under her breath occasionally. Buffy watched her in silent expectation. Willow bit her lip, looked thoughtful then typed in a few words. Two more mouse clicks and she sat back with a radiant smile on her face.
"Of course!" She looked at the screen again... and suddenly her face seemed to crumple. All the light drained out of her eyes... and then without another word she got up and bolted out of the room. Buffy heard her footsteps pounding up the stairs... then nothing.
What on Earth?
Buffy stared after her, then turned to look at Dawn. Dawn stared back at her, equally dumbfounded - then both sisters got up at once and rushed over to look at Willow's computer. The screen was filled with windows, at least four tabs open on her browser and three separate document files open with what looked like cut-and-pasted text and images. Buffy felt nervous even looking at it, but Dawn slid into the chair in front of her and began confidently clicking on the various windows. Then she began reading out loud:
"O - uh, insert goddess name here - I call on you;
I humbly ask your will be done.
Hear my request, a simple change;
Create a daughter from a son."
"That's it? That's the spell? But it's the wrong way round; I was an, um, 'daughter' before."
"Maybe she was planning to use a new spell to turn you back, instead of finding the old spell and reversing it?"
"I guess. So why should she panic like that? Wait here, I'll go find her, make sure she's okay. Maybe you could even fix lunch, if you hate my choice so much."
And with that, Buffy walked out and then cautiously climbed the stairs.
"Will? Will, where are you? What's wrong?
The landing was deserted, and she pushed the bathroom door open to find it empty. The door to Willow's room was closed, and she knocked on it gently.
"Willow, it's me. What's the matter? Can I come in?"
No reply.
On to Chapter Seven

Mural statement by the artist – Christine Martin
The mural features an androgynous main character who grows up through their wonderful experiences in kindergarten. They start with 'Being', existing in a peaceful world with native animals as friends. As the child starts 'Becoming' something beyond their immediate world, they make a new friend and they play ball together. In the final frame, the child has evolved to 'Belong' to part of a group of friends, and they sit beneath flowering wattle and banksia trees, reading a book together. Circles are prevalent in the work that stretches over 6 metres in length, symbolising life, growth, new beginnings and the harmonious and inclusive nature of birth, family, kindergarten and community.

The Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee today rejected on a partisan vote Senate Bill 57 by Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) that would have restored "opt-in" voter registration at the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
"Given that the Secretary of State's office and the DMV have underplayed well-documented problems with automatic registration, today's outcome was not a surprise," said Senator Bates. "The decision to register to vote should be made by the individual – not the state. Those who oppose my bill fail to appreciate that an 'opt-in' process gives citizens more control over their own voter registrations and reduces opportunities for errors and fraud. I will continue to fight for election integrity, including working with my colleagues to make a simple fix to provide clarity to customers who visit DMV offices."
Senate Bill 57 would have rolled back Assembly Bill 1461 (2015), which requires the DMV to automatically register Californians to vote when they obtain or renew driver's licenses or identification cards. Numerous progressive groups opposed AB 1461 because they were concerned that undocumented immigrants would be automatically registered to vote, putting them at risk of criminal penalties and deportation.
Senator John Moorlach, a co-author of SB 57, said after today's vote, "Our state needs to develop a better system for DMV voter registration that gives people the ability to opt-in and verify their voter information. This vote was a missed opportunity to correct the errors that the current technology has generated."
The DMV's difficulties in implementing automatic voter registration has been well documented by media outlets over the past two years:
In December 2019, the Sacramento Bee reported that "At least 600 Californians, including lifelong Republicans and Democrats, have had their voter registration unexpectedly changed, and several county elections officials are pinning much of the blame on the state's Department of Motor Vehicles."
In August 2019, the Los Angeles Times reported a state-conducted audit found that in just the first five months of the new version of Motor Voter, the DMV produced over 84,000 duplicate records and more than twice that number with political party mistakes.
In December 2018, the Sacramento Bee reported that the DMV director mishandled the registrations of more than 580 Californians who may have been wrongfully kept off the voter rolls in the 2018 election because of transmittal errors.
In October 2018, the Los Angeles Times reported that the state agency mistakenly registered another 1,500 ineligible residents, including non-citizens.
In October 2018, the Associated Press reported that California's Secretary of State admitted that he was not able to confirm whether or not non-citizens voted in the June Primary.
In September 2018, the Sacramento Bee reported that the DMV transmitted 23,000 erroneous voter registrations.
In May 2018, the Los Angeles Times reported that a software error affected 77,000 voter registrations.

Pawfect Plate DUCK 50g Pet Treats
- Dehydrated pet treats
- Perfect for dogs & cats of all breeds
- Dehydration retains essential nutrients of the meat
- Made from 100% human-grade ingredients & pure-lean meat
- NO harmful, unnatural ingredients, chemicals or preservatives added
Need something a bit bigger than the Baily Bites? Have your furbaby try the Summer Stix! They too are all-natural homemade treats that are made from the freshest and leanest part of the meat. They are rid of unhealthy fats and cut into long strips that are thoroughly cleaned and slowly dehydrated to perfection.
Summer Stix is a healthier alternative to commercial chews and bully sticks and can keep your pets happy and healthy.
Why Dehydrated Treats?
Dehydrating retains the meats' vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and amino acids.
Dehydrating removes the moisture in the meat; without the moisture, the meat becomes even more drool-icious!
Since dehydrating removes moisture from the meat, it also removes moisture in the meat bone, resulting in a softer, almost pulverized bone! The benefit of this is that it makes bones safer for your furbaby to eat (like Chicken Xanders)!
Dehydration is one of the most natural and safest preservation methods used by our ancestors long before technology came to be. It was used to naturally extend the shelf life of meat, fruits and vegetables without destroying essential nutrients and healthy enzymes in food.
Contrary to popular belief, cooking actually kills most of the essential nutrients in food, while dehydrated food retains most of these essential nutrients of the meat! Dehydrated food is simply just food, i.e. meat with all of the moisture dried out of it. This also means, NO harmful and unnatural ingredients, chemicals and preservatives are used to prolong the shelf life of meat! Your pets will only get the most natural, flavorful and rich meaty goodness of treats!
100% lean meat and/or organs, lemon, organic apple cider vinegar.

The Tax Basis and Selling Expenses for Land
Although many investors consider land to be a distinct asset class from other types of real estate, from a taxation perspective, all real estate is the same. As such, you can expect to do the same basis calculation that you do with any other piece of real estate and to pay the same taxes. The major difference comes from how land is depreciated--or how it's not.
Calculating Land Basis
Generally speaking, calculating land basis is the same as calculating your cost basis for any other piece of property. Add what you paid to purchase it to what you have spent on any capital improvements to the property. For instance, if you put $250,000 down and borrowed $500,000 to buy a $750,000 piece of land and then spent an additional $100,000 on grading, your basis would be $850,000.
Typical Selling Expenses
When you sell your land, most of your typical selling expenses will be subtracted from the selling price to come up with your taxable sales value. These expenses include any commissions you pay to brokers, as well as any other costs, such as title searches, title insurance, transfer taxes, deed registration taxes, recording fees and the like.
Depreciation and Land
When calculating basis, you have to subtract any depreciation you claimed. Although land is not depreciable, improvements you make to the land to make it usable in a trade or business can be depreciated. As such, you should tally up all of your depreciation and subtract it from your cost to find your basis in the land.
Figuring Your Sale Basis and Taxes
Your sale basis is what you get from the buyer, minus any costs of sale. For instance, if you sell your land for $1.5 million but pay $120,000 in commissions and $10,000 in miscellaneous costs, your sale basis would be $1.37 million. To find your capital gain, subtract your original purchase price from the sale basis. That gain is subject to a 15 percent federal capital gains tax. Any accumulated depreciation would be taxed at 25 percent.

30 Aug Innovation leads the way
A selection of interesting and useful gadgets were on display at the Innovation Summit, where science and technology topped the agenda.
The Innovation Summit hosted by the Industrial Development Corporation was a vibrant, interactive event this year. Hundreds of school pupils attended, donning crazy hats and masks to have their pictures taken with the latest photographic technology, and mime artists were among the entertainment on offer.
The dozens of stalls exhibited a selection of fascinating and innovative gadgets at the IDC offices in Sandton from 27 to 29 August, sparking the children's imagination and helping them learn new things.
Teacher Danie Heymans had a constant circle of eager youngsters at his table as he manipulated various robotic figures made with Lego building blocks. He explained that he and a group of teachers had formed Hands On Technologies, the licence provider in sub-Saharan Africa for Lego, the Danish company that makes the well-known toy building blocks.
Together with his colleagues, Heymans offers extramural classes in robotics. The children learn to programme the robots on computers and then watch their "creatures" come to life. "Usually pupils can't wait to leave when the bell rings after the lesson but with the robotics classes, they don't want to leave," said Heymans. Some of the classes are sponsored – for example, by Swiss bank USB and Lego – while in other cases, the schools buy the technology and present the tuition themselves. Regional and national competitions are organised, and finalists have the chance to attend the World Robotics Olympiad, to be held this year in Jakarta, Indonesia in November.
An innovation that could change lives by bringing a livelihood to potential entrepreneurs is the eChaja, a solar-powered cellphone charger with sockets for recharging six cellphone batteries at a time. Chris van Zyl, the operations director of eChaja, explained that the machine was fully portable and could be set up quickly and easily at a shop, market, kiosk or even a homestead where, for a fee, customers could have their cellphone batteries charged. Two small solar panels are enough to keep the eChaja going and it can also be attached to two light bulbs to provide light.
There is no doubt many more people in South Africa would be making innovative products if they had the funds and the opportunity. The A2B Movement, established by former occupational therapist Vivienne Schultz, helps destitute people by offering them a 12-month entrepreneurial scholarship programme. As they complete the course, acquiring technical skills and learning to change their mindset, they work with paper waste, turning it into décor, shopfitting and building products. You can buy the products, including the Re:vive décor range online.
Innovation winners
StratFlex, the winner of the 2013 Design Indaba Innovation Award, was also represented. Visitors were intrigued by the company's flatpack Skin armchair, which is adjustable to a single or three-seater. The Impi model is an all-purpose, stackable chair and both items are made with the patented StratFlex technology that allows them to flex and conform to the body shape and weight.
Patented products and intellectual property need to be properly managed and protected and the National Intellectual Property Management Office (Nipmo), a sub-programme within the Department of Science and Technology, was on hand to provide advice. Nipmo was established to help recipients of funding from a government funding agency to conduct research and development, assess and report on the benefit that society had received from the publically financed research and development, it said.
The Sasol platform was also very busy, with prospective entrepreneurs pitching their ideas to a panel of judges. Ideas ranged from snow skis that were safer and faster to a Linked-In type service for students. The pitchers were in the hot seat as the judges grilled them on every point of the process and how they would market their services.
As one of the judges noted, an inventor should look for practical solutions to everyday problems – such as the wire candle holder Wikus van Niekerk made after reading about a shack fire caused by a candle falling over. "Look for ideas that touch your heart," he said, and the summit was full of those.

A Decade of the S. Family's Love
I've had the privilege and honour of capturing the S. Family's love for a whole decade! I can't believe it's been 10 years since our very first family session together.
Each year I don't think it's possible for the kids to change that much from the pervious year, but they never fail to surprise me. They both shot right up and D. is sportin' a few less teeth. As ever they have a very special fun bond.
At the end of our session together, we both said we had to grab something from the car…I had a bottle of Merlot and a thank you card for them to celebrate our 10 years together. As I turned around to give it to her, she met me with the most genuine sincere smile as she held a bottle of 10 year old Port and a thank you card for me. ha! Great minds think alike. I'm very thankful that we both cherished this special session and the memories through the years of working together. We've grown up together, and I just love that I get to watch your children grow up too. Thank you so much, I've loved photographing your family love story over the past decade. Here's to another 10 years!
From my heart to yours,
One Tree, 5 Years of Family Love
This series summarizes the reason I'm a family photographer (images of the same family from 2010-2015).
I have the honour of forever capturing ever-changing stories and relationships as each family grows and evolves. One thing remains constant through the years, Love.
We have no idea a seemingly insignificant moment is actually a cherished memory years later. And those memories materialize from fleeting synapses of time simply because of a photograph.
I always say family photography found me because of my respect for the love story that lives within families. Who doesn't love a good story? Isn't that what life's all about?
From my heart to yours,
Updated Photos for a Beautiful Family
Over the years, I've had the honour of capturing Brandy as she's graced the stage for several fitness competitions. We always have a lot of fun working together to capture her strong spirit.
I was so excited when she asked me to photograph her beautiful family as they haven't had family photos for many years. I can't quite articulate how special it is when a family treasures their photos and understands the importance of capturing their family love story. It truly makes my heart sing…
Their girls are so beautiful and full of life!
Thank you so much for the fun afternoon! I had so much fun photographing your beautiful family.
From my heart to yours,
Lawson's Loves
Meet smart, adorable, active, inquisitive, Lawson….
I last photographed this little guy when he was one. He sure has changed, he talks a mile a minute and he runs even faster! Now he's 2…
And so very loved and cherished…
This beautiful family travelled to see me for their photos, the morning of their session the sky opened up and poured rain. We decided since they had already travelled, we would just hope for the best. The rain stopped for the exact amount of time it took to capture their family love story and made for some fun puddle jumping opportunities….
Thank you so much for the fun afternoon, as always you are a pleasure to photograph!
From my heart to yours,
The W. Family's Love Story
Meet the W. Family…
I just love photographing this family. They are really laid back, fun, and all around amazing people (with a great sense of style too!)
This has to be one of my favourite jumping photos of all time, everything just came together perfectly and they are some pretty high jumpers.
Thank you for the beautiful evening! You are blessed.
From my heart to yours,
The M. Family's Love Story
Meet the M. Family…
I've had the honour of capturing their family love story for 8 years now. I love comparison photos…2010 and 2015. The kids grow, but their parents stay young!
There's a whole lot of love within this beautiful family, I love photographing them all. It's always stress free and laid back. My kinda family…
Thank you for another fun family session, Much love!
From my heart to yours,
The Beautiful B. Family
Meet the beautiful B. Family….
Their boys have big personalities and so very sweet & kind hearts. They are equal parts curiosity and hilarity…
This next photo sums up photographing boys (never a dull moment!)…
Their family is full of love, patience, respect and adoration. I loved photographing their family love story.
Thank you so much for the fun evening! It was a pleasure (and totally worth losing a radio trigger to the water) 😉
From my heart to yours,

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as alemtuzumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from growing. Giving alemtuzumab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of alemtuzumab when given together with combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed aggressive stage II, stage III, or stage IV T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
|Condition or disease
|Biological: alemtuzumab Drug: cyclophosphamide Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride Drug: prednisone Drug: vincristine sulfate Other: flow cytometry Other: pharmacological study
|Phase 1 Phase 2
- Establish the safety and dose-limiting toxicities of alemtuzumab in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed, stage II-IV aggressive peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Measure the pharmacokinetics of alemtuzumab using different subcutaneous doses and schedules to determine the dose with the highest achievable drug levels with acceptable toxicities worthy of further investigation.
- Determine the efficacy of alemtuzumab in combination with CHOP chemotherapy using escalating doses and 2 different drug schedules, as defined by overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival.
- Measure the effects of this regimen on T-cell reconstitution and cytomegalovirus reactivation.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation study of alemtuzumab followed by an open-label, phase II study.
- Phase I: Patients receive CHOP chemotherapy comprising cyclophosphamide IV, doxorubicin hydrochloride IV, and vincristine IV on day 1 and oral prednisone on days 1-5. Patients also receive alemtuzumab subcutaneously (SC) on day 1 OR on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of alemtuzumab until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
- Phase II: Patients receive CHOP chemotherapy and alemtuzumab (at the MTD determined in phase I) as in phase I (on the most effective regimen).
Patients undergo blood collection at baseline, periodically during study treatment, and after completion of study treatment for pharmacokinetics and other correlative studies. Samples are examined for presence of cytomegalovirus antigen and by flow cytometry for B- and T-cell quantification.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 84 patients will be accrued for this study.

We put a lot of effort into a work, the work we love and are passionate about. All we expect in return is not a reward, but as small as an appreciation.
I have been nominated by the amazing Kritika Vashist for not one, but two awards. The awards being "Dragon's Loyalty Award" (The Dragon's Loyalty Award is an award for the loyal fan/commenter, whether the recipient is a fellow blogger or just someone who follows and comments regularly) and "The Premio Dardos" (The Premio Dardos is given from one blogger to another, in recognition of cultural, ethical, literary and personal values that are transmitted in the form of creative and original writing).
Thank you very much, Kritika, for the awards and considering me worthy of them. Here comes the fun part :
The rules are same for both the awards:
1. Thank the giver and link their blog to your post. [ check ]
2. Pass the award on to other bloggers of your choice and let them know that they have been nominated. [ … in progress ]
3. Give 7 facts about yourself. [ here it goes ]
7 Facts about me :
a. I have three blogs ( active ) and a few inactive blogs. But I am trying to manage all three of these at a time.
b. I choose to be anonymous (Midnight Shadow – what kind of stupid name is that, right?) because I wanted to write and express myself the part of me that I couldn't do with people knowing about me. This was supposed to be deeply personal and silent part of me, which refuses to leave the pages of the diary, but I have totally failed in that aspect.
c. I am an addict. I am addicted to caffeine. Sometimes, I have no idea how much coffee I drink. The funny part is that whenever I go to a coffee shop, they know what I want, I don't have to stand in the queue also, which is a good thing, I guess. And also, I have spent so much time in these shops that they might start asking for rent from me.
d. I am a junk food eater. (I know what you are thinking. Wasn't coffee enough for this guy? Now Junk food also?). Believe it or not, I had this as dinner for 5 days a week. It's like I am giving these fast food centers a sizable amount of salary each month (but on a daily basis).
e. I don't talk much. If you think my comments are longer or my posts are longer, so the actual me would be one hell of a talkative person, No, I am not. I don't talk at all. If you were to ever meet me, you will definitely consider me as an impostor,
f. I am too lazy and a very good procrastinator. I will look for the easy way out. Or else I just abandon it, just like that. And I procrastinate a lot, like all the time. That is why, I am writing this after 2 days. Finally, right?
g.I am a complete TV and movie buff. I watch almost all the movies and the television series that get aired. Yes, I have huge collection in the hard disks. I think I might need to dispose of them to make more room for the new ones.
And the nominations for the awards are :
PS : There is no obligation or compulsion that you have to follow the rules, you can just accept the award. Thank you. I think I have to intimate them. On it.

All Reviews for Trend Micro
Sort by
Using Trend Micro is better than nothing but I have had many of my co-workers get multiple repeated Virus and spyware infections using this. I normally fix the issue by running a full system scan with Free AV solution that is not Trend Micro. It is not the best product but it is far from a bad one. I can't recommend this produce thou knowing that I have to use other products to fix what it should have.
We have Trend Micro Officescan 10, and it is severely lacking. The administration interface is horribly hard to use, the installer is somewhat broken, and, worst of all, the virus protection is ineffective. It let a bunch of trojans into one system, along with lots of spyware, and never caught a thing. Uninstalled Trend and put Kaspersky on instead, and it caught tons of stuff. Sadly, Trend had let so much through that we just ended up reformatting the machine anyway.
Officescan 8.0 was ok, I hated the interface as it was very limited in what I could do. I run 12 virtual servers off Virtual Iron and when I upgraded to Officescan 10 they all bluescreened with tmcomm.sys errors. I could not even boot up my 2008 servers and had to restore the registry and never put Officescan 10 back on. I did raise this with Trend Support bbut they wanted me to recreate the problems but these were core servers, AD, Email, SQL, Terminal Servers, etc and we run a 24/7/365 operation. I am only a few months away from renewal but I am already looking at other products thank you.
We recently (3 months ago) made the switch from McAfee's Virus Scan Enterprise to TrendMicro OfficeScan. somewhat unfriendly interface workstation Updating seems very good. Install choices are excellent, but actually using the various install methods: very poor. Web interface: HORRIBLE, only works with IE as far as I can tell (Opera:NO Firefox:NO Chrome:NO ahh, AvantBrowser: YES!) I have had to do major cleanup on a few PC's - including wipe & reload. does not catch as much as McAfee does not catch nearly as much as AVG
Decent product but unspectacular. Grouping computers, servers, etc is impossible as it groups by DOMAIN?! Reporting is week. Detection rate is OK, but it will not save you from rebuilding a few PC's due to malware or virus's every month or two. EDIT: had to lower my rating. Over time this product is just not doing it. Slow, low detect rate, terrible configuration. Time to get a replacement.
After reviewing a trail and finding it was quick, easy to configure we purchased Trend Micro for our domain. With great disappointment we ended up with a later version of the product which wasn't a lesser product than the one we had trialled. We are now looking to purchase Kasperky to get rid of Trend.
We've run this on our corporate LAN for the last 5 years plus - until now it performed relatively well, but as of late the support has been all but non-existent ( In South Africa ) When we did have a bad outbreak ( 3 in the lst few months ) Trend didn't even detect the virus until a week later, despite the fact that all our windows and trend updates were up to date. We were quoted call out fees despite our full maintenance contract. Our renewal after much testing came down to Mcafee and Sophos ( both of which run on MAC and both of which detect infections WAY before Trend ) The winner is Sophos as Mcafee thinks Lotus Notes is a virus - no comment on that ;-) Sophos also allows you to create groups an policies to lock down access to appliations / sites based on the group membership and is better intgrated into AD.

Firefox 4 now Mozilla's most used browser, lags behind Chrome and Internet Explorer
Mozilla's Firefox 4 software overtook Firefox 3.6 in May to become the most popular Mozilla Internet browser for the first time with a worldwide market share of 14.2%, according to the StatCounter.
The previous version of the browser – Firefox 3.6 – is still popular amongst Internet users, however both lag behind Chrome 11 browser and the ever-dominant Internet Explorer 8. Google's browser currently holds a 16% share of the market, narrowly beating Mozilla's offerings into second place with Microsoft's 16 month-old browser accounting for 29.06% to rank top of the twelve most popular browser versions currently in use.
The rapid adoption of Firefox 4 is noteworthy as users are required to manually update their browser software (much like Internet Explorer), whereas Google's Chrome browser typically updates in the background without prompting from the user.
When combined, the different versions of Internet Explorer leads globally with 43.9% which followed by Firefox with 29.3%. Google's Chrome browser posts the biggest increase however, rising from 8.6% a year ago to 19.4% in May 2011.

There are no reviews yet.
There are a lot of options when it comes to bathing a newborn. Some of them are excessively large and expensive, adding unnecessary complexity to what should be a fairly basic process.
That's why we've always gone for a bath sponge, a very simple bit of kit that allows you to just run a shallow bath, lay your baby down and give them a little rinse, immersed in nice warm water. For obvious reasons this is preferable to having a separate baby bath inside your bath, or a seat that props them up and leaves most of their body out of the water.
The foam doesn't last forever so you will need to buy a new one after each baby, but they're the kind of price that allows for such disposability. It's comfortable for your baby, inexpensive for you, and won't take up a corner of the bathroom when it's not in use.

Active Workspace Management's Smart Technology Survey 2018 reveals growing interest in workplace user apps. FMJ reports on the findings and what they might mean for the future of FM service delivery
In May, Active Workspace Management partnered with FMJ to canvass readers' views on the topic of workplace user apps. Respondents were asked 21 quick multiple-choice questions to find out if these apps can enhance levels of FM service, how they are currently used, and attitudes towards their use in the future. The findings, which are reported in detail in this article, reveal that workplace user apps are a growing component of FM service delivery, but they also highlight challenges around the alignment of workplace technology development with user needs.
The rise and rise of smart technology is giving people the ability to use devices like smartphones at work. With home and remote working on the rise, organisations are increasingly demanding that their employees use these smart devices to carry out a range of work-based tasks, including basic communication, reporting and scheduling.
In theory, workplace user apps can help facilities managers to deliver a better service by ensuring that employees have a broader understanding of how a workplace functions and operates. One good example of this can be found among desk-booking apps that can be downloaded on to a smartphone. If an organisation has a new agile working policy in place, employees will not be able to use the space without the app to show them which desks are occupied and which are free, potentially throwing the floor into chaos.
In total, almost 100 people took FMJ's anonymous survey. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the largest group to participate were FM professionals who work in traditional office spaces. A huge 65 per cent claimed to work in an office, while the remaining respondents were split fairly evenly between manufacturing, retail, public buildings and educational facilities.
When respondents were asked to describe their style of communication with workplace users, 35 per cent claimed that it is "proactive", 33 per cent said it is "reactive", and 29 per cent said it is "informative". These answers could be seen as encouraging for an FM industry that is constantly trying to lose its image as a reactive function, focused on responding to building maintenance problems and service issues. They also highlight the possibility of a real appetite among FMs to use workplace apps for more strategic purposes.
The survey, however, reveals that FM industry professionals are lukewarm about workplace users' understanding and use of FM services in their environment. The majority (61 per cent) answered with "OK" and only 18 per cent responded with "easy". Similar results appear when the focus turns to visitors to the workplace. Just under half the respondents claimed that visitors' use and understanding of workplace apps is simply "OK".
Clearly, there is much room for improvement if FM professionals are to view their communication efforts as proactive. This has led to Active Workspace Management launching Active Apptivates, providing apps designed to deliver consumer-style functionality and user-friendliness in the workplace.
It is, of course, important to determine the mobility of workers, as this has an undeniable impact on the way workplace apps are used. Work is becoming more flexible. According to the Office for National Statistics, there were 4.8 million self-employed people in the UK last year (16 per cent of the labour force). This means fewer people are tied to their desks on a permanent basis, as they work from home, remotely or on the move. According to the survey, 58 per cent of respondents said they work in environments with agile workers (although 93 per cent said their workplace retains permanent employees).
It's clear there needs to be an alignment between the FM service and the demographic of the people working within a space. FM, for example, must adjust its service in an environment where workers may be more transient. When respondents were asked if this is the case, 60 per cent either said "to a reasonable degree" or "yes, totally". But that leaves close to 40 per cent believing there is a disconnect.
When respondents were asked how important they feel workplace user apps are to enhancing levels of FM service, 40 per cent said "moderately important" and 35 per cent said "very important", which provides a strong indication that technology is now crucial to the FM role. There is a huge amount of noise around new technologies and their potential to irrevocably change the way individuals and organisations work, and it can be difficult to determine what is genuine and what is hype. This survey at least seems to suggest that facilities managers now depend on technology to do their job effectively.

The purposes of this study were 1) to establish accelerometer count cutoffs to categorize activity intensity of 3 to 5-y old-children and 2) to evaluate the accelerometer as a measure of children's physical activity in preschool settings.
While wearing an ActiGraph accelerometer, 16 preschool children performed five, 3-min structured activities. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analyses identified count cutoffs for four physical activity intensities. In 9 preschools, 281 children wore an ActiGraph during observations performed by three trained observers (interobserver reliability = 0.91 to 0.98).
Separate count cutoffs for 3, 4, and 5-y olds were established. Sensitivity and specificity for the count cutoffs ranged from 86.7% to 100.0% and 66.7% to 100.0%, respectively. ActiGraph counts/15 s were different among all activities (P < 0.05) except the two sitting activities. Correlations between observed and ActiGraph intensity categorizations at the preschools ranged from 0.46 to 0.70 (P < 0.001).
The ActiGraph count cutoffs established and validated in this study can be used to objectively categorize the time that preschool-age children spend in different physical activity intensity levels.

Someone once said, it's the easiest thing in the world to have an opinion on parenting and the most difficult thing to actually do? How true is that. Grandparents think they're experts, because they've raised a few. Friends without children know everything there is about raising a child, because they've read all about it on the internet. Friends with children will tell you it's a piece of cake, because they're lying and misery loves company.
Actually there is no right or wrong way to be a parent. It's kind of a "learn as you go process," filled with adventures that will live in your memory for a lifetime.
There have been differences of opinion on discipline, behavior problems, time outs vs. spankings. The experts change their minds on a daily basis so it really doesn't do much good to look to them for advice.
Dr. Benjamin Spock's book, "Baby and Child Care" was, throughout its first 52 years, the second-best-selling book, next to the Bible. In the end, he made this statement,
"The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all."
I belong to the old way of thinking, regarding marriage and family and I know I'm not alone in my thinking. I believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman, as clearly stated by Almighty God. I also believe that the family unit has disintegrated over the years. I'm not sure how this has happened other than the possibility that folks just don't work hard at marriage anymore or the feminist movement. Somehow dads have been relegated to second class citizens even when they are involved in raising children.
When another human being enters the equation, we soon discover their needs come before our own. There will be sleepless nights, bumps and bruises, calls from the principal's office, fending off bullies, helping with homework and a whole plethora of duties.
OK, I'm old fashioned. That's because I'm old and I have a right to be.
My advice to anyone with children is this – God has placed this responsibility on your shoulders. It is a responsibility you should take on with all the vigor you can muster. It isn't going to be easy, but God has also promised to guide you with His Word in every circumstance – including parenting. Turn to that manual for living and you'll find tons of advice on parenting.
Treasure those moments when you want to tear your hair out because your six year old spray painted a naughty word on the garage door. Relish the times you've had to scrub spaghetti sauce out of your child's ears. Enjoy the funny things they say. Listen to them. Encourage them. Remind them that winning isn't everything. Teach them. Protect them. Discipline when necessary. Introduce them to Jesus at an early age. Love them with all your heart.

Day 10 journal of my 30 day Minimalist Challenge
On 1-5-2020, I was reminded that I need accountability. I never voiced this until recently.
My mother never checked on me because she knew I would land on my feet.
In listening to the audiobook,
13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don't Do [electronic resource] / by Amy Morin,
I realized that I have been living my life this way… without accountability. I'm the one who checks on others. And I never required, requested or demanded that people look in on me… to check up on my status in one area or another.
Even my husband has seen me as a Super Woman! I did have two lady friends around 2014 who were good at checking up on me. And when they moved away, I was devastated. Though I couldn't understsnd my deep grief over their departure.
It was stemmed back to the familial saying, "Nek'ka always lands on her feet". These two ladies gave me what I was missing… then they were gone.
I mentioned this a few days ago, in my minimalist challenge blog, that I've hired a couple of coaches for 2020. The year for praises and not complaints. So I'm incorporating my own helps and hand holding.
I've had mentors over the past 20 years and while I was given assignments, so many other areas of my life were unattended to or overlooked.
In Amy's book, she was relaying a story of how a women's family of origin had nicknames for all the kids and she was living up to hers even subconsciously. This woman didn't examine her life to see if that label resonated with who she identified as an individual.
And I never shook off that label, "she'll always land on her feet". It's good to know or believe that. But how is that suppose to happen?
When I land on my feet, are my ankles sometimes twisted? Did I break my legs landing on my feet because I had no assistance? I never saw negative in that statement. I was just doing my best to live up to that expectation.
Don't get me wrong, I have some really good friends that I can call when needed. And we're all busy with our daily lives. When I see them, we all get caught up on the latest happenings and have a good laugh. And then I go back to my world of "landing on my feet"… alone, as it were.
What childhood or early adult nicknames or statements are you trying to live up to? Do they resonate with your true identity, your core being? Write your comments below.

Investment Ideas For College Students
You could have heard it from Mom and Dad your entire life right? Current years have seen the beginnings of a robust period of growth and investment in the Jordan real estate market, as rising numbers of buyers and builders look to capitalise on the nation's excessive financial growth and political stability.
For a lot of reasons, few traders maintain investment real property in C firms. In less complicated phrases the commonest investment choices are property, commodity, stocks, monetary derivatives, stocks, bonds, forex trading, vehicles, and so on. Not like the REITs (Actual Property Investment Trusts), these investment autos usually are not publicly traded and usually are not priced to market on a daily basis.
One of the vital common threat is that the underlying investment is real estate, consequently these investments may be less liquid than shares in a REIT; when time comes the fund could also be unable to promote the actual property at a excessive sufficient worth to generate the expected earnings; or outside factors similar to an extra deterioration of the economic system would possibly negate the worth added by rehabilitation work.
Traders are more likely to look with a jaundiced eye at ventures which should retain a big part of their earnings not to develop the enterprise although merely to remain in enterprise or to maintain aggressive ability. To keep your risk ranges low you might also need to solely take a look at top quality investments.

eMusic has just announced the launch of its new European service, which brings the company's DRM-free catalog to all 25 EU member countries.
When we profiled eMusic several months ago, it was already the number two download service in the US behind the iTunes Music Store (this does not include music rental services like Rhapsody). It's been growing steadily in the last year—since August 2005, the site has doubled its subscriber base—and currently has 11% of the US download market.
eMusic CEO David Pakman likes to portray his company as one engaged in a David v. Goliath struggle with Apple. "The monopoly of iTunes in Europe is over," he announced today. "European consumers, fed up with homogenous music and services focused only on mainstream pop can now discover a wealth of music created to transcend rules, boundaries and commercialism." These are nothing if not fighting words.
eMusic's numbers pose no real danger to Apple, though, which controls more than three-quarters of the US market and a substantial chunk of the European one as well. Despite the rhetoric, the two services don't really compete for the same customers. eMusic only offers tracks from independent labels (8,500 at last count), and is particularly strong in indie rock, jazz, and classical. The company makes no effort to win over the lucrative teen market, instead choosing to concentrate its energies on attracting adult music fans who feel left behind by mainstream radio.
This approach will now be tested in Europe. The site's format will remain the same—monthly subscription fees that provide a set number of downloads. 40 downloads a month cost £8.99 (€12.99), 65 downloads cost £11.99 (€16.99), and 90 downloads cost £14.99 (€20.99). eMusic will continue to offer its tracks as unencumbered MP3 files at high bitrates (192K VBR). Compared to iTMS, this is a bargain, assuming you like the selection of music.

We wanted to create something unique – a bit more spicy and smoky than most traditional offerings. It's a bit of a unique take in rye whiskey.Mike Blaum, Co-founder and chief distillerClick to explore our complete library of reviews to help you choose your next perfect bottle.
Blaum Bros. Straight Rye Whiskey
- DISTILLER: Blaum Brothers Distilling Co.
- MASH BILL: 92% Rye | 5% Smoked Malt | 3% Malted Barley
- Fermentation: Standard
- Cooperage: Air dried for 18-24 months in charred white oak barrels
- AGE: More than 4 years
- PROOF: 100 Proof (50% ABV)
- BUY ONLINE: Wine-Searcher.com
NOSE: Rye Spice | Toffee Sweetness | Slight Oak
TASTE: Spicy Rye | Honey | Slight smoke
FINISH: Medium, nice burn, spicy with leather and hay notes at the end
SHARE WITH: Rye fans this is a good rye. It has a good complexity and will not be confused with bourbon on the palette. I like the Spicy burn in the finish, reflective of the decent 50% ABV.
WORTH THE PRICE: Yes. They priced it at $50 MSRP as a craft rye. Perhaps a little high for a rye, but not completely out of line.
BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST: This one I am going to give it a solid bottle. I don't claim to be a rye expert, but I like a good rye, and I like this one.
OVERALL: The Blaum Brothers message of quality and authenticity comes through on this product. The smoked malt adds to the complexity and a full four years in the barrel, not overly common in ryes is evident in the taste. Having tasted this during bourbon heritage month, I feel like I am cheating, but I will try it in a Manhattan as soon as we get to October.
An emphasis for this distillery is locally grown grains. I like this approach as it provides an opportunity to create subtly and local identity in the spirits business. In the wine business its called terroir. There are disagreements as to whether terroir can survive the distillation process, but I'm a believer.

The decision to apply to Enterprise was a fairly easy one for me. While I wasn't really sure what career I wanted I knew I wanted something that was fast-paced and would be a career - not just a job.
The decision to apply to Enterprise was a fairly easy one for me. I had just finished studying a degree in Geography at Leeds University and was looking at graduate roles which would suit my skill set after deciding I no longer wanted to pursue a career in soil science. I wasn't really sure what career I wanted but I knew I wanted something that was fast paced and would be a career and not just a job.
I started my Enterprise career at the Macclesfield branch in September 2005 and the time has absolutely flown by. I really enjoyed the Graduate Management Trainee role and embraced my training which I completed within 11 months and was promoted to Assistant Manager in just under 12 months. I worked at three different branches during my time as an Assistant Manager giving me a good mix of experiences and helped me develop a strong management style. After just over three years I was promoted to Branch Manager at Macclesfield where I developed a strong team and led the branch into the top 10 of the UK rankings. Following this I was promoted to a larger branch which was underperforming and took that to number 3 in the UK. As a result, I gained the promotion I was focused on and I'm now the Area Manager for a region that spans parts of Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Next stop, City Manager.
I have been supported by Enterprise senior management throughout my career and this has really helped me to set a clear career plan and push myself for my promotion to Area Manager. I was chosen by my General Manager to take part in a mentoring programme aimed to encourage more females to senior management level as part of the UK initiative for Women in Leadership. I was also invited to the UK Leadership Forum which provided an interesting insight into personal branding, career mapping and enabled me to network with top senior management. I also have quarterly meetings with my General Manager to re-assess my progress in line with the goals I have set.
I now also run my own mentoring programme for female employees in the North West where I pair experienced female managers with new trainees and interns to help them develop and pass on their knowledge from the Leadership forum. I also chair a female focus group for my local area which provides an informal arena to discuss progression and share ideas.
The Management Trainee programme has given me a vast skill set, lots of responsibility, the autonomy to run my own business and a long term career with lots of promotion opportunity. When speaking to family and friends they are often surprised with the business knowledge and responsibility my job offers – I never imagined a car rental company would offer me so many opportunities. Not only that – I have also met some great people along the way and most importantly had fun and been rewarded for my hard work!

Watch Holden's radical time attack concept racer log a virtual 1:29s lap of Mount Panorama.
GM Holden has designed a radical time attack concept race car to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the marque's first Bathurst win in 1968.
The company has focussed the design around achieving pure one lap pace with the company claiming the concept could theoretically lap Mount Panorama in 1:29.30s, more than 30 seconds faster than the current outright lap record, and reach speeds of 480km/h.
The entirely carbon fibre chassis is powered by four 254kW electric motors which could produce 1340 horsepower.

Dominican Sisters of Houston
Sister Clarice Sparkman, OP October 5, 1917 + January 10, 2016
Funeral arrangements for Sister Clarice Sparkman are as follows.
Sr. Clarice Sparkman entered eternal life on January 10, 2016. The eldest of 3 children of the late Hazel Andrew and Joseph Sparkman, Sister was born on October 5, 1917, in San Augustine, FL. She is predeceased by her sister Dolores and is survived by her brother Joseph and by nieces and nephews. The Sparkman Family moved to Houston when she was in elementary school. Following her graduation from Reagan High School, she entered the Dominican Sisters of Houston on June 15, 1934. Majoring in mathematics, she received a B.A. from Mt. St. Mary in Los Angeles, an M.A. from the University of Texas, and a PhD from the University of Texas. Her teaching career covered a wide spectrum—from first grade to university, the latter extending over 39 years in Dominican College (Houston), U. of San Francisco, U. of Santa Clara, and San Jose City College. From 2005—2009 she served as Consultant at San Jose City College. Sister was very active in the California Mathematics Council and one of the founders of the American Mathematical Association of Two Year Colleges and served as its second president sponsoring the second annual convention in San Francisco. Her desire to help students was evidenced in her development of innovative instruction techniques and by her own words, "I wanted to work with students, not sit in a corner somewhere and write."
In addition to her love of teaching, Sister found delight in travelling. A van served her well as she and her Dominican companions and friends visited national parks and historical sites, especially in California.
Sister retired to St. Dominic Villa in Houston in 2010; in 2014-15 she was a resident at Spring Branch Transitional Care where everyone recognized and loved her. At nearby St. Jerome parish she found a host of friends through Sr. Eleanor Dickmann, OSB. Her heartfelt gratitude to all in the parish was expressed many times.
"To praise, to bless, to preach." How do we do that? How did Sr. Clarice do that? The Gospel of John spoke of the Eucharist, "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." Many did not believe; many did not have faith in the Son of God, but those who accepted his word in faith did receive life and remained in Jesus and Jesus remained in them. Sister received the gift of faith on November 18, 1917, the day she was baptized. She was born in St. Augustine, FL, on October 5, 1917, the eldest of 3 children. I chose the reading on the Eucharist because Sister Clarice was devoted to the Eucharistic Liturgy. Daily Mass was extremely important for her. So, how did she praise? She lived on the Body and Blood of Christ. Her faith in Jesus was her praise of God. She was a conscientious teacher; she passed on not only her knowledge of mathematics to her students, but went the extra mile to help them grasp the subject and even enjoy it. She blessed her students with the gift that God had given her and that she had developed. She had a PhD in Math. The combination of her faith and the blessing of her teaching was her preaching.

The European financier today (1 November) unveiled its figures for the previous three-month timeframe of the year and indicated that redundancies are necessary if it is to be able to conform to new capital rules.
Yesterday, Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger reported that the lender was planning to implement 1,000 extra job losses on top of the 2,000 unveiled earlier in the year as it attempts to restructure its investment banking business.
However, during a statement today, the institution - which has more than 50,000 employees across the world - revealed that, in fact, 500 more people would be losing their jobs.
Mr Mathers explained these cuts would occur evenly across all the firm's business arms and in all developed economies worldwide, but admitted they will be primarily focused on new income.

Ferrari are seen as a key part of Formula One, its past, its present and its future.
Many would argue that Formula One just wouldn't be Formula One without the Maranello team.
One of those people is Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo who speaking at Ferrari's World Finals event at Mugello this week said: 'Formula 1 is still our life, but without Ferrari there is no Formula 1, just as without Formula 1 Ferrari would be different,'
Many have questioned whether this statement was made as a threat to Formula One Management, with negotiations continuing regarding the latest Concorde Agreement, the Resource Restriction Agreement and the future of the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA).
The politics in the background, away from the track is in itself an integral part of Formula One, just as Ferrari flexing their muscles in cases like this.
But would Ferrari actually leave the sport if it didn't get an agreement suitable to them?
'We can be very patient but there are precise conditions for us to continue with our work. We race not just for the publicity it brings us but above all to carry out advanced research aimed at all aspects of our road cars: engine, chassis, mechanical components, electronics, materials and aerodynamics, to such an extent that the technology transfer from track to road has grown exponentially over the past twenty years.' di Montezemolo added.
Just incase anyone was left uncertain with Ferrari's position he concluded: 'If Formula 1 still wants Ferrari it must change and go back to being at the cutting edge of research, while always keeping an eye on costs.
'We are not in Formula 1 as sponsors, we are constructors.'
His final comments in particular seemed to leave no question marks regarding Ferrari's current position in Formula One.
The sport must change if it wants Ferrari to know they are wanted and for them to remain competiting.
But while the message from Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo was very clear, the Ferrari's Formula One website has tried to play down the remarks.
Speaking through their 'Horse Whisperer' column a statement read: 'Montezemolo's observations were seen by some as a sort of ultimatum or even a threat to leave Formula 1, but the Whisperer can assure you that it was nothing of the kind,'
Would Ferrari quit Formula One?
Ferrari are seen as a key part of Formula One, its past, its present and its future.

Director(s): Dan Trachtenberg
But where's the cake? Oh, right. It's a lie …
Yeah. That's the extent of what I know about Valve Corporation's popular game Portal. I've seen my girlfriend play it a couple times and know the whole concept of setting up portals to help advance through the game, but I'm clueless to the storyline. So the question became whether or not someone without such knowledge like myself could enjoy Dan Trachtenberg's fan film Portal: No Escape. While I'm pretty certain players will find it much deeper as far as mythology is concerned, I can't deny that it wasn't still an effective experience for me just the same. And if nothing else it has me very excited to see what Trachtenberg has done on his feature length debut 10 Cloverfield Lane.
What I really enjoy about the short is that Trachtenberg keeps everything very sparse. There's no dialogue, no exposition, and no convoluted plot inklings besides the fact that Chell (Danielle Rayne) wants out of the cell she has no as to clue why she's even in it. That's it: survive. So she works out to keep in shape and studies her prison for anything to serve as a way out. How she interprets a series of hash marks on a stone block to be a key to opening a window box holding an Aperture portal-making gun I have absolutely no clue. But you go with it because you know that gun is going to supply her the means of ratcheting up the action.
The ensuing chase thrills with green and blue voids assisting her movement up and out. We accept her ease at understanding their power as well as her own propensity for kicking butt and simply sit back to enjoy the ride. The spectacular special effects make this an easy sell as the portals crackle with flaming light around their edges and her gun glows bright. Just watch the behind the scenes video and marvel at how so many producers and so much money became involved in a fan film. Valve's game is a phenomenon, though, so surely there are rich players who loved the script—especially its pessimistic end. I'm glad they did because Trachtenberg appears a legit talent. We'll soon find out.
