Babies tend to cry a lot before going to sleep and there are two schools of thoughts on how to deal with the problem. One school of thought thinks that letting the baby cry it out is the only way possible. The other school of thought says to bear the crying and to stay with the baby throughout regardless of the amount of time it takes for them to go to sleep. However, most parents usually want a compromise between the two. They don't want their babies to go to sleep after crying a lot on their own nor do they want to stay awake for the entire night. Elizabeth Pantley's take on the topic 'The No Cry Sleep Solution' is interesting because it looks to help the mothers understand how to make their baby go to sleep as soon as possible without letting them cry.
The book has a number of chapters with a first few chapters entailing details about the reason why kids find it difficult to take naps at night and why it's important for them to actually take naps at night. The book then moves onto no cry sleep solutions. From helping mothers understand how they can change the nap times of their young ones to the effective swaddling position which can help babies in going to sleep, the book goes into great depth to explain the various solutions that can be tried with the children to help them follow a health sleep pattern.
There is a lot to like about the book. The solutions discussed in the book are not Pantley's own whims. These solutions have existed and have worked for a huge population in many parts of the world and the author has done extensive research in finding the solutions and in explaining how these solutions help the children in going to sleep.
The book's introductory chapters are extremely helpful. The book doesn't dive into the solutions from the get go and first entails a lot of information on sleep, how much do children need it and why children have issues in falling asleep. The information is helpful for mothers in understanding why their children behave as they do and also helps the mothers in knowing the exact amount of sleep their children need every day.
From helping you to determine what nap time would suit you and your child the best to giving good advice on co-sleeping and how its not necessary for your child to learn to sleep on his/her own right from the start.
There are a couple of small issues with the book too though. The book probably should explain why the approach of 'letting the child cry himself/herself to sleep' is not effective. The book's content is also written in such a manner that it can only help in putting newborns or one year olds to sleep. If a child has already grown up a bit, the book's solutions won't help much.
The book is a great read for young mothers who are either expecting or have just had a newborn. With a great collection of solutions, you are bound to pick up a solution that would work very well for you.

Lights Out (2016) Review
Phil Brown | Jul 22, 2016
So here's a nice story you don't hear every day: A few years ago an enterprising young chap named David F. Sandberg came up with a brilliantly simple horror movie concept that he turned into a creepy little YouTube short that caught on like wildfire. Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring director James Wan found the clip, got the heebie-jeebies, and signed on as a producer to help Sandberg turn his lil' Internet clip into a feature length Hollywood scare factory. It's a nice story; an inspiring one even. The type of thing that every aspiring filmmaker dreams of when they post their home made horror shorts online with dreams of grandeur. The actual movie itself? Almost an anti-climax. It's good, and proves that Sandberg indeed has some horror directing chops. The trouble is that the Lights Out very much feels like a short stretched out to feature length and that's not necessarily a good thing.
Things kick off with what is essentially the Lights Out short film with a budget: a creepy prologue in which a few late night factory workers encounter a ghostly spectre that is only visible in the dark and disappears in the light. From there, we meet Teresa Palmer playing a strong n' tough young lady who likes metal, horror, and giving her tattooed dreamboat BF (Alexander DiPersia) a hard time. She's tough because she came from a dysfunctional home. Specifically, her father disappeared at an early age, leaving her trapped with a single mama (Maria Bello) afflicted with some pretty severe mental illness issues involving a creepy imaginary friend named Diana. Palmer also has a little half-brother (Gabriel Bateman) currently living with that same troubled mother. Even worse, his father was one of the folks bumped off in the opening scene. Bello is off her meds and Diana has returned as that light phobic ghost everyone is screaming about.
Lights Out is the latest chapter in Hollywood's current obsession with jump scare horror and another in a line of movies that live and die on shadows, suspense, and loud bumps in the night. It's simple stuff, but when executed with the proper craft it can turn a packed movie theatre into a squealing gaggle of kids scared of the dark. Obviously this premise suits that style perfectly and the good news is that first time filmmaker David F. Sandberg has a knack for using atmosphere and jolts to make audiences whimper. While James Wan provided resources and a marketable name to put on the poster, his machine gun editing and blunt-force trauma approach to jump scares thankfully don't define the movie. Sandberg is a more relaxed and classical stylist who uses stillness and silence to his advantage. He comes offers up plenty of twists and light sources to extend out his gimmick and somehow the same tricks keep working over the flick's taut 81 minute running time (including credits).
The performances are also surprisingly solid across the board, particularly from the strong Palmer and jittery Bello. It helps that for a little while, the movie cleverly presents the hauntings as a manifestation of Bello's mental illness, with her children playing their roles like the concerned children of a lost parent. It's fairly well handled as metaphoric horror, even sensitively so. Alas, this is a Hollywood horror tale. Eventually that mysterious subtext translates into cartoonish text as the screenplay wallows in psychobabble and settles into a pretty absurd supervillain backstory. It's sad to see the potential of the story slip away into more obvious genre tropes, especially since the one-note nature of the central apparition ensures that there aren't too many surprises hidden for the finale. The style of scares never changes; the context just gets more elaborate.
As a result, Lights Out can feel pretty repetitive. While there was an attempt to add mythology and backstory to justify the feature length running time, the flick never feels like much more than a great idea for a short repeated until the movie is long enough to qualify for feature-length release. Some horror fans will grow irritated and feel cheated, especially if they consume genre flicks as fast as they are released. However, there's no denying that Sanderberg and co. made their film with passion, talent, and intelligence. This is probably about as good a movie as could possibly be made from the concept, for better or worse. It works and should go over like gangbusters in a theatre full of willing participants during a shrieking jump scare festival. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's not easy to even pull off something this simple, this well. However, let's all hope that David F. Sandberg is allowed to get a little more ambitious with his next horror outing. The guy clearly has chops and ideas. He just needs more freedom to get ambitious.
Lights Out can feel pretty repetitive.

Is BIM changing traditional GCC building methods?
Experts explain how BIM technology is rapidly changing the traditional methods still being applied in the GCC construction market
In November 2013, Dubai Municipality issued a circular mandating building information modelling (BIM) for specific architecture, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works in the emirate. The municipality's regulations were applicable to buildings over 40 storeys tall, or those which span more than 27,871m2, as well as government projects, including hospitals, universities, and schools.
The municipality's mandate came at a time when BIM was still finding takers across the global public sectors. With this in mind, the municipality updated its existing mandate in August last year, expanding BIM's usage in architectural and MEP works for all buildings above 20 floors, or those which span more than 18,580m2, government projects, and all buildings requested from a foreign office.
Gone are the days of rustling paper and spending countless hours on handwritten records. Enabling virtual communication from developers to post-handover operators, BIM offers project parties insight throughout the construction cycle. A recent study found that the international BIM market will reach $11.7bn by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.6% from 2016 to 2022. What's more, regional experts believe that the Middle East is catching up with this trend.
Paul Wallett, regional director at Trimble Solutions Middle East, says: "Large-scale, government-backed projects – especially in the UAE, like the Dubai Opera House, Abu Dhabi Midfield Terminal's central building and piers, the UAE Pavilion for Milan Expo 2015, along with Qatar and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – are increasingly using BIM. Government BIM mandates, such as the one by Dubai Municipality, are essential for driving the technology."
But despite the increasing prevalence of this technology in the region, industry experts say that BIM adoption is still very much in its infancy in the Middle East. Vivek Kale, solutions director, design integration sales, from Bentley Systems, says: "Large-scale projects would benefit significantly from information management beyond building, to include infrastructure, featuring the site, roads, and utilities. Based on our years of experience, the projects in the region are challenged by three key aspects required for a BIM methodology – people, process, and technology."
He adds that the infrastructure industry has a limited number of subject-matter experts who have the required experience.
"BIM processes applicable for large, multi-disciplinary projects are not structured, tested, or easily available. Simply put, the core technological challenge of large-scale projects is a lack of interoperability among the various content creation softwares, as well as a non-existent vocabulary for describing 'infrastructure' objects.
"Although information modeling offers significant gains during the capital expenditure (CAPEX) phase, there are even further BIM advancement gains to be realised during [operations]."
Part of the reason for the Middle East lagging behind in BIM adoption may be the peculiar character of the market, which includes low labour costs, and an apprehension of adopting new technology due to financial factors.
Wallett says: "Widespread BIM adoption is lagging in the GCC and Middle East, due to the low cost of labour and lack of implementation of government mandates. In the United States and the United Kingdom, high-level BIM usage is estimated at 40%.
"Meanwhile, most GCC contractors continue business as usual, with basic tools and low-cost labour, and only the most innovative and advanced companies are investing in BIM technology and training."
When compared with other parts of the world, where BIM has really taken off, it is clear that the role of the government in pushing the technology – and making people more aware of its advantages – is key. Matt Wheelis, Auodesk's Atlanta-based construction industry manager, agrees. He says that there is a growing demand from people in the Middle East to learn about the technology.
"One of the things that I have observed here is that there is an [eagerness] to learn. What is really needed in the market is the whole supply chain to become aware of this big opportunity, because it's high time that people get a hang of the benefits.
"It definitely helps to be educated about not only how the technology works, but most importantly how it will affect the business processes in a positive way."
Understandably then, the UAE's GCC neighbours, such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, are looking towards BIM adoption in their construction markets. This situation has motivated firms that utilise BIM to implement in-house training schemes to ensure a proper understanding of the technology. However, Kale warns that organisations should take steps to avoid rushing into the BIM process with unrealistic expectations and without management backing.
He says: "They must understand the timeframe they are working with. That said, as more owner-operators expand the use of BIM processes beyond building into the wider realm of infrastructure, we will see a broader adoption of BIM processes."
Experts predict the Internet of Things (IoT) will transform construction by 2025 through automation, prefabrication, and 3D printing. With multinational firms increasingly working on GCC projects, and studies showing the Middle East is posting one of the world's highest cloud-traffic growth rates, cloud-based model sharing is expected to witness greater uptake.
Instead of sending large model files via email, cloud-based models allow real-time collaboration around the world. Wallett adds: "GCC contractors should adopt BIM completely, in order to prepare for the IoT era, and mega events such as Expo 2020 in Dubai and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and deliver innovations on mobile devices and augmented reality."
The application of BIM is manifold; whether large- or small-scale, the more BIM projects take place in the region, the more awareness will spread and, in this way, the industry will grow.

Facemasks here to stay….
Rob Humphreys2020-06-07T12:11:32+00:00
Facemasks are currently obligatory in Spain under the state of emergency measures, but they will also continue to be in the future in the "new normality" after Phase 3 ends and until the government declares the coronavirus crisis is no longer a threat.
A draft decree for the "new normal", which is being debated with Spain's regions and is due to be approved on Tuesday by the Cabinet, includes obligatory use of masks in closed public spaces where a safe distance of 1.5 to 2 metres cannot be observed, fines of up to €100 can be levied on people who are not wearing them. The decree also leaves open the possibility of extending their use in the open air.
According to the text, masks will have to be used on all forms of transport, including public vehicles with up to nine passengers, such as taxis or private hire vehicles. In the case of ferries and other passenger vessels, masks will not be obligatory in cabins. The decree also specifies that people with any kind of respiratory disease or breathing problems will not have to wear masks.
Other measures for inclusion are that airlines and other transport companies will have to retain the details of all passengers for a month including their seat allocation so that they can be identified for track and trace protocols if a positive coronavirus case is confirmed.
Also companies will have to ensure the layout of work spaces allows for the required distancing and shift rotas are to be adopted to avoid crowding.
The details and control of the measures are to be handed over to the regional governments.

Tait and Avtec Make Multi-Vendor Solutions a Reality in Panola County
Company Representative August 8, 2014 Product & Service Announcements
HOUSTON, Texas, USA, Aug. 1, 2014 — Global critical communication solutions provider, Tait Communications has successfully integrated its P25 9400 terminals with the Mississippi Wireless Integrated Network (MSWIN) system for Panola County.
Approximately 400 Tait 9400 portables and mobiles along with Avtec's Scout™ dispatch consoles now operate seamlessly on the MSWIN system, a P25 700-800MHz trunked system that allows the County to communicate with 27 agencies statewide including the 14 fire and five police departments under Panola County dispatch.
Director of Panola County Emergency Operations, Daniel Cole said, "When the County first joined the MSWIN system we were operating a range of different brand radios and couldn't communicate with one another. It just wasn't safe. So, we did our research, talked to other agencies and found out that the Tait radios had the quality and durability that we were looking for in a radio fleet."
"Now several months since implementing the Tait radios I'm 100% confident in them. We've had search and rescue events involving several state agencies and the National Guard all communicating on different brands of radio and the Tait radios have never failed. We've had zero complaints, everybody loves them," Mr Cole says.
The Avtec Scout™ dispatch consoles used by Panola County are built on pure IP technology providing the call center with improved reliability in the event of an emergency. The consoles were put to the test during a recent lightning event in the County.
Mr Cole says, "During a lightning strike when everything went down, the Avtec consoles were the only thing that kept going and that's testament to the redundancy that Avtec built into the system."
Scout's fully customizable console screens were also designed to replicate the look of Panola County's Motorola Gold Elite console screens, which minimized training time and made it easier for dispatchers to migrate to the new system.
Mr Cole said that the choice to go with Tait and Avtec also saved the County crucial public funds.
"Initially, the project to upgrade to the statewide system was priced at $1.6 million but we chose to go to market for the radios and dispatch consoles and Tait was able to deliver a solution that met all our requirements and saved us in the neighborhood of $900,000."
Mr Cole adds, "We've been operating with the Tait radios and Avtec dispatch consoles for several months now and we couldn't be happier with their performance and the service we've received is second to none. I would recommend Tait and Avtec to anyone."
Representatives from Tait and Avtec recently visited Panola County to celebrate the successful integration project.
Bill Fillman, Vice-President of Market Development and Solutions Engineering says, "Tait believes in providing communications solutions that offer emergency services agencies freedom, flexibility
and choice. This is a significant project for us because it clearly demonstrates that the interoperability of Tait products delivers value, in real terms, to our clients. We're pleased that we've been able to provide Panola County with the equipment they need to operate effectively and at the same time save crucial public funds."
Mike Ridge, Director of Partnerships and Alliances for Avtec adds: "Avtec is delighted to leverage our long-term partnership with Tait to provide the residents of Panola County with a new communications system built on open standards and IP technology. This successful deployment in Panola County reflects our commitment to providing proven, trusted, and reliable communications systems to Avtec's public safety customers."
Panola County currently operates their communications system in Phase 1 mode but will be able to upgrade to Phase 2 using the same Tait 9400 terminals and Avtec Scout™ dispatch consoles when the time comes.

A Crutch By Any Other Name
Years ago, Florence broke her leg in an unfortunate accident that involved relatives. After that, I had a phobia about leaving anything at anyone's house because what if they tried to return it and broke something in the process. Too risky.
before the leg broke
Florence didn't do much doing those days of a heavy white cast and a pair of heavy wooden crutches. She went from bed to piano to bed to kitchen, back to piano. She didn't need to more than that. She had me to do her serious walking.
And so I did: to the Coop Supermarket on Grand and the Dry Dock Bank on Delancey. To the Library on East Broadway or Houston, back to the Dry Dock Bank and then home and then the supermarket and then...
Only looking back did I wonder about my many visits the Dry Dock Bank. For each day I would hand over a note, written in my mother's hand, requesting a withdrawal from her account to be given to me. Who, I guess, the teller assumed was truly her daughter.
These days, things are a bit different. Besides debit cards and photo i.d.s., crutches are lighter, casts are flexible and New York is a bit more easy to get around. Especially if you don't have a kid to do the legwork.
From writer, Adrian Margaret Brune who grew up in Oklahoma and learned a few things while temporarily "disabled" in New York where she now lives:
1. Locals are gracious and will hold doors, but don't expect package carrying -- they're going somewhere, too.
2. Subways have elevators, and if someone points it out, it means you're taking too long on the stairs.
3. Crutches come in handy when theatre-goers attempt to steal your cab.
4. "Pimping out" said crutches with extra padding is worth every bit of the $25 you spend.
5. Carpet is wonderfully soft for walking.
6. Despite former athleticism, if someone put a gun to your head, you still could not run; a fast "crutching and ducking" amounts to the best possible outcome.
7. Some passers-by look suspiciously if you are sans huge cast.
8. Riding a train during rush hour without a seat creates a strange sense of accomplishment and pride.
9. The East River will make for a wonderful javelin-style "crutch toss" when all is said and done.
10. Moving freely will never be taken for granted again.

Winnipesaukee's Algae Making You Mentally Slower?
News Hawk Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:26 am
Here's What Scientists Discovered
During the original study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers were testing 33 healthy people (a very small number) on a variety of different measures, some of which were mental tests.
But they also swabbed the throats of the participants and did a genetic analysis of what was there. In 14 of the 33 people, they found genes from a virus that until now had never been found in living people (researchers had found it once before in someone's brain during an autopsy, but they didn't know whether it had been there when the person was alive).
The virus, called ATCV-1, is a chlorovirus, a family of viruses that infect plants. This one affects algae — that green stuff that grows on water — in lakes all over the world. But as far as researchers knew before this, viruses like this very rarely cross from one kingdom like plants to another, like animals. And even when they do, it's more likely that they would go from plants to some type of invertebrate, not all the way to a complex animal like a human.
Here's the most interesting part (for most of us): Because the original study included cognitive tests, the scientists compared the data and saw that people with the virus living in their throats processed visual information about 10% slower than people without the virus — and this difference could not be explained by other factors like age, sex, race, socioeconomic status, education, place of birth, or smoking status.
The specific visual information tests in which a difference was shown included things like drawing a line that connected numbers in sequence that had been scattered on a page. People with the virus also seemed to have a shorter attention span.
To check if this group was somehow different from the general population, the team checked another 59 people for the virus. Out of the final 92, it was present in 40, about the same rate as in the initial, smaller group.
To investigate whether the virus might be the cause of that change in visual processing and attention, the researchers then injected mice with the same virus.

Mice were tested.

Asbestos is the name assigned to a group of six different fibrous materials (amosite, chrysolite, crocidolite and fibrous forms of tremolite, actinolite, and anthophyllite) occurring naturally in the environment. Asbestos minerals have long, strong fibres that can be separated and are flexible enough to be interlaced and also withstand high temperatures.
Due to these characteristics, asbestos has been used for a wide variety of manufactured products, mainly in building materials (roofing tiles, tiles and tiles, paper products and asbestos cement products), friction products (automobile clutch, Brakes, transmission components), thermo-resistant textiles, packaging, gaskets, and linings.
Some vermiculite or talc products may contain asbestos.

Those who become chemists are typically individuals who are detail-oriented, have a high degree of mental focus and discipline, and they have a natural aptitude in chemistry, mathematics and statistics.
They are individuals that have a keen interest in the art and science of determining what matter is composed of, and how it interacts with its surroundings.
In order to become a chemist, you will also need the emotional and intellectual capacity to complete all of the necessary academic work. You will also need a high stress tolerance, as this is required for when you don't achieve immediate results in your work.
To work in this field, you must be comfortable working in a laboratory setting, and you should be comfortable sharing your opinions and findings with others. You will also need a good amount of manual dexterity in order to accomplish many tasks in this career, such as performing tests and using specialized equipment.
Below we've outlined what you'll need to begin a career as a chemist. We've also included helpful information for this career, such as job description, job duties, salary expectations, a list of possible employers and much more!
It's vital that you pursue coursework that will help you develop a core set of skills in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, chemical analysis, and other core areas of chemistry.
In addition to developing knowledge and skills in chemistry, it is also important to develop basic knowledge and skills in other sciences, such as biology and physics.
As a chemist, it is also very important to have communications and computer skills. For this reason, taking coursework in the liberal arts, communications and computer science may be extremely helpful.
Earning a bachelor's degree in chemistry, organic chemistry, medical chemistry, biochemistry or chemical engineering is typically the minimum requirement to get an entry-level job in chemistry, such as Research Assistant.
If you eventually want to complete your own research projects, or directs others in applied research, you will likely need a master's degree in chemistry or a closely related field such as biochemistry or medical chemistry. Some employers may require you to have a Ph.D. in a specialized area of chemistry, depending on the nature of the work you'll be doing.
Many students will also complete post-doctorate work in an area in which they seek to specialize, such as medical chemistry, environmental chemistry, biological chemistry, materials chemistry, chemical analysis or other areas.
Chemists discover and apply knowledge of the properties, composition and principles of elements and compounds to a wide range of products and processes, such as the development of new fuels, pharmaceutical products or foods.
In order to become effective in a career as a chemist, you need to posses certain skills and personality traits. These skills and traits will not only allow you to conduct your job duties with competence and skill, they will also allow you to keep a positive attitude towards your work, and ultimately, towards your career.

Venezuela's Andean state of Merida is one of those rare corners of the world that is overwhelmingly beautiful, yet largely untouched by international tourism. Perched on the cusp of the Andes and the Caribbean, Merida is where the tropics mingle with the mountains. It's an odd combination – Merida city can be sticky humid while a few hours away a blizzard is enveloping the sierra. Yet the diversity never gets boring.
After a year here, it's still hard to leave. There are so many nooks and crannies to explore – the highlands dotted with creaky frontier-style villages, the weird and (relatively) laid back Merida city, and the endless mountain treks. It's a paradise for explorers.
This is my second album on Merida state. My first is available here.
The hills around La Azulita make for great walking and birdwatching.
Although they grow throughout the Northern Andes, in Venezuela Frailejónes are symbolic of Merida state. They look like soft, squishy cacti, and their leaves are not only great camping mattresses, but also make a good cup of tea. Add cinnamon, sugar and a dash of aguardiente for a relaxing nightcap while on the trail.
View from the base of Pan de Azucar, one of the easier peaks.
Los Nevados is easily one of the most idyllic highland hamlets in the state.
A day out from Los Nevados.
Just south of Tabay, another pleasant town closer to Merida city. It gets plenty of noisy traffic from the state capital, but the shady plaza is a good place for a cup of coffee.
Laguna Negra at dawn. It's a good place to camp, but don't expect to catch many fish.
The countryside near La Azulita after a rainstorm.
Hummingbirds are to Merida, what flies are to Australia.
View from Pedro's House. Everyone in the Merida mountaineering community knows Pedro – a cheery hermit who offers dirt cheap bunks to hikers en route to Pico Bolivar. He does a hearty vegetable soup worth stopping for. If you're heading for the peak, it'll be the last decent meal for days.
Pico Bolivar towers over Merida city, and is well worth the climb. Try to hit the peak in the morning, when it's less likely to be cloudy.

The plastic helmets offered by guides really only help with the hail.

Merida's botanic gardens sport some eerie sculptures.

How to hack Google account?
Content List
Email is one of the most important pieces of information that anyone working in cyberspace should have. Email is actually an Internet address that helps us to communicate with other people who work in the Internet and cyberspace, and in fact plays the role of the same postal address in the real and physical world. Most of us know about email with Yahoo and Gmail services, and each of us has at least one email address with a Gmail or Yahoo extension. Because so much of our important information is sent to our email address in cyberspace, it is very important to maintain its security. But while companies like Google and Yahoo have come up with many layers of protection for their users, there are still ways to bypass these layers and hack into people's emails.
Gmail, which is actually Google's e-mail service, started in 2004 under a trial version and was officially introduced in 2009. Gmail currently has more than 1 billion monthly active users, which is a very high figure. However, Google has been able to cope well with all this information exchange and, in addition, provide security for each of its users.
This high security has made it easy for users to use Google's e-mail or Gmail, and sometimes exchange very important information in it or save it in their Gmail inbox. Storing various information in Gmail account and the possibility of misusing this information has caused many profiteers to think of a way to hack into people's Gmail account and steal this information.
Hack google account
While the high security of Google services is not a secret, the power of hacking and security experts should never be overlooked, and you should think that because you are using a secure service, you do not need to follow the usual security instructions. This is a completely misconception, and you should keep in mind that the highest number of hacks and infiltrations in various services are related to those who have not paid much attention to the security of their account.
Lack of attention to ways to increase account security has led to various ways to hack Gmail and access the Google account. Profiteers and hackers obtain people's passwords in various ways and then log in to their accounts.
Gmail hacking methods
As mentioned, there are several ways to hack people's Gmail that hackers have used to hack into other people's accounts and steal their information. One of the most common of these methods is the use of social engineering techniques to obtain a password, which accounts for a large number of hacked accounts. In the following, we will explain some of these methods
Social engineering method
One of the most common methods for obtaining personal account information is not limited to a specific account and can include all personal user accounts in cyberspace. In this method, the hacker tries to get the password to enter the account from the user using various methods and does not use any special tools to obtain the password. In this method, the hacker usually tries to persuade the user to provide his password to the hacker by gaining trust and creating a ground for obtaining the password.
For example, a hacker creates a Gmail account with a Google username. It then uses this username to send an email to the person stating that there is a problem with the security of your account and that your account appears to have been hacked. In the next step, it asks the user to click on a link to remove the suspicion. The desired link redirects the user to a fake page and asks him to enter his password. By entering the password, you have actually provided the password to the hacker, and the hacker will be able to hack the person's Gmail without wanting to perform complex operations, and can access all the information of the victim.
How to use Trojans and keyloggers
Keyloggers are programs that are installed on user systems and store all the characters typed on the keyboard. Then they save the file of these characters somewhere or send it to a specific address. Trojans are also malicious programs that introduce themselves as an application and in fact, after installation, carry out malicious activities behind the scenes.
In this method, the user uses infected links and programs to install a keylogger or trojan on his system. The trojan or keylogger then begins to collect user information, such as passwords, and sends these passwords to the hacker. One of the most popular methods of hacking Gmail is the same.
Another simple way to hack Gmail is to access a person's Gmail account password and access the device that the person used to connect to Gmail.
In this method, the hacker is close to the victim and has access to the user's mobile or computer. Because browsers such as Chrome or Firefox store passwords for account access, it is easy to obtain a password by entering the password storage section.
We have introduced a summary of google account hacking methods without the need for complex operations and programming knowledge to you dear ones. Ways that can make anyone look like a hacker

John Fife: Rally - Meeke's new team?
In a shock move this morning it has been revealed that Kris Meeke might be all set to leave the Citroen WRC squad to join the little known Autoliitto team. Kris was spotted getting some driver tuition from one of Finland's rising stars at a secret test facility ahead of this weekend's Rally Finland. Kris went for a seat fitting in the heavily disguised, revolutionary new WRC contender where it became instantly apparent that some modifications will need to be made to accommodate the lanky Northern Irishman. Apparently the pedal box was set too high and the seat mountings require more adjustment. Kris was very non-committal about the test, but professed great interest in the fledgling team.
Only kidding. Kris enjoyed some down-time yesterday after 4 days of testing and ahead of today's shakedown which comprises a minimum of three runs on the Ruuhimäki stage which was the final stage in last year's rally.
Able to draw on his growing experience, Kris regards this event as one of his favourites. He finished third last year behind Latvala and Ogier in only his second appearance at Rally Finland in the DS 3 WRC.

That's Funny?
parango in Uncategorized July 8, 2020 1,086 Words
I have no idea how the book arrived or how it happened to find its place of honor at the top of the pile of books to be read as soon as the manuscript I'd been working on had been sent out to publishers and agents in order to receive the traditional and entirely expected silent treatment. The last proof finally read, the format finally corrected, the cover designed, the time had come to take a book from the pile, a leap of faith too long postponed. I "read" two or three books a week, generally listening to one and calling the others up on my e-reader. The pile contains actual hardbound and paperback books, for the most part books that are not newly published or currently admired. Some are books I've meant to read, some books I look forward to reading again, and some, like the book I have just finished, wander in without invitation, hogging access to the many books I've been aching to read.
The title of the book is More Chucklebait: Funny Stories for Everyone. Edited by Margaret C. Scoggins and published by Alfred A. Knopf under the impression of Borzoi Books in 1949, this copy of More Chucklebait is in good condition and features illustrations by Saul Steinberg. One assumes that Chucklebait: Funny Stories for Everyone, the first collection, was so warmly received that Knopf contacted Ms. Scoggins begging for yet another collection of funny stories for everyone. The pages of the New York Times sang out with glee when this collection appeared, unreservedly extolling Ms. Scoggins' collection. "There is no finer gift than laughter and Margaret Scoggins has given generously of it!"
According to Alice Fedder's review, this collection is even more generous than the first, presenting twenty-two stories ostensibly baiting us into helpless chuckling whereas the first book offered only twenty. Ms. Fedder also notes that although the book is primarily intended for teenagers, the book is "for all who are young in spirit."
So many questions and a few reflections.
I was a teenager who combed library shelves looking for books that offered humorous stories. I read James Thurber, Robert Benchley, PG Wodehouse, O. Henry, Mark Twain, Ring Lardner, Max Shulman, and Jack Douglas, whose two collections, Never Trust a Naked Bus Driver and My Brother Was an Only Child were, with Bob Newhart or Shelly Berman's routines and Spike Jones in Stereo's send up of horror movies, the unfortunate and permanent influences on my own sense of humor. OK, throw in MAD Magazine and The Pirates of Penzance, a combo too rarely acknowledged as formative experiences.
The which is to say, despite the inclusion of stories that raised nary a chuckle in my youth or in this reading, Ms. Scoggins' collection has merit, particularly in the inclusion of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen, whose voices I could not properly appreciate until I had moved past Spike Jones. I've written elsewhere of Colin Firth's role in restoring Pride and Prejudice to its proper place as a novel to treasure (his wet shirt moment was a show stopper in 1995!), but even the toughest case in my lit classes understood that Mr. Collins' proposal to Lizzy Bennet is a masterpiece of comic prose. Similarly, both Nicholas Nickleby and The Pickwick Papers make me giddy with delight. So much more than chucklebait!
So, the question of chuckling now becomes necessary. I can't remember my last chuckle, and it is in that statement that the nature of chuckling is made clear. Recorded laugh tracks chuckle, sit coms elicit an occasional chuckle, a viral meme summons a wisp of chuckle.
Humor is a slippery thing in the best of circumstances, and I would contend that we are not living in the best of circumstances. Roaring laughter is less common in our household these days; even the lowly chuckle is hardly heard. My three children with three separate senses of humor can make me weep with laughter, but we are separated in this pandemic and so have to make do with virtual humor.
Even in the most trying of times, Humor 101, however, consistently points to three scientifically observed sources of humor: Incongruity, superiority, and relief. Carrying clipboards and wearing lab coats, these pundits reduce all laughter to these three states, none of which strike me as likely to elicit even a chuckle. We expect one outcome, another arrives, zut alors, we laugh. You are stupid; I am not. We laugh. Children are trapped in a burning automobile, one of them farts, we laugh. Or so, science would have it.
I should quickly note that I found this parsing of humor in the same article that explained why we can't tickle ourselves. Stick with me here because theory busting is dangerous work, just ask Galileo. Resolutely ignoring my concern that scientists are working on this question rather than finding the vaccine I need to enter the world again, I'm immediately pulled into what seems the obvious flaw in the same scientist's opus on humor. We can't tickle ourselves, this theory contends, because laughter elicited by tickling depends upon two key elements – surprise and tension.
Fella in a hockey mask holding a chain saw jumps out from my closet. No lack of surprise and tension there, and yet, somehow, I am not tickled. The mask is a Mickey Mouse mask, and thus incongruous. Not laughing. I see that the electric cord from the chain saw is not plugged in. Not too swift, pal. Still not laughing. Finally, the saw wielding closet leaper reveals herself to be my girlfriend, just kidding around. Yoks galore? Not so much.
Ms. Scoggins is far more brave than I. No way would I announce that the work I produce is funny. It is funny, but nothing is less likely to allow a reader to find it funny than to be told it's funny. An author can get away with describing work as terrifying or romantic. "You'll love this book. It's really scary." Yes, there are expectations in working with a genre, but readers generally withhold judgment until they've spent some time with the book. A book that's touted as "funny" better have the reader on the floor by page two or all is lost.
I'll close with a quotation from Mr. Popper Gets a Penguin, the final story in Ms. Scoggins' anthology. "Ork, said the penguin. Or perhaps it was the service man."
