Happy Friday everyone! There are a lot of things to celebrate today, like the nice weather forecast for this weekend, the fact that there won't be an lirr strike, and that Mischa and I have yet to be stung by the angry wasp/bee that lives in my mother's outdoor patio chair. Seriously, I don't know what is going on but there are so many of them this year. Last summer it was ticks galore, this year, bees and wasps. And this guy is not the friendly, fuzzy, "oh hey, just wanted to see what you're up to" kind of bee. No, he is the "I'd like to sting you for no good reason, stay away from my patio furniture" kind. Clearly there is a nest/hive and it needs to be dealt with, which is what JD will be doing later today when he joins us out here for the weekend.
A week or two ago I happened upon a recipe for a strawberry lemon white whiskey collins (that can be found here). I didn't have any white whiskey, so I used what I had. Last week we made them with bourbon and rye, yesterday I made one with Tennessee whiskey. All came out just fine so feel free to use whatever kind of whisk(e)y you like. Another note is that I really hate making simple syrup. I know, it's just sugar and water, what's the big deal? It annoys me for some reason so I avoid making it like the plague.
Puree the strawberries (I used a small food processor) then pour into a large glass, or shaker.
Add lemon juice, sugar, whiskey, and soda water. Stir or shake, whatever you prefer, until sugar is dissolved and pour over ice to serve.
*If you prefer to do it the proper way, replace the 1 teaspoon of sugar with 3/4 oz simple syrup and reduce soda water to 3/4 oz.
JD and I have really been enjoying this one lately. I think the strawberry and lemon strike the perfect summer balance. It's refreshing and not too sweet which is a win in my book.
Thank you so much for reading and have a great weekend!
This not only looks but sounds delicious!! On a side note, my husband and I screened in my mom's deck because of the wasps that liked to live there! I hate stinging things haha.
I have a new-found love for whiskey, but I need to have it in pretty sweet drinks, so you can be sure I'm adding this to my to-make list :) Sounds SO yummy!
Looks delicious!! It makes me want to have a drink right now even tho it's so early in the morning!!
I need this drink in my life. Hope you enjoy the weekend!
Yup, totally making this sometime this weekend. It sounds (and looks) amazing!!!
looks amazing, i'll definitely try it!
that drink looks AMAZING! i'm def going to have to give it a try this weekend!!! happy friday!
Hola te acabo de conocer me gusta tu blog..¿quieres que nos sigamos por GFC?
this looks yummy ! I'll have to try this asap !
I'm not a whiskey girl, but this cocktail could change my mind. Yum!
I"m not a whiskey girl, but this look delicious! I might have to try this one!
This looks amazing...so perfect and refreshing for summer! Yum!
Mm this looks really refreshing. Even better is the cup that you photographed it in (I like the edges at the bottom). Good luck with the bee---I've never been stung and I want to keep it that way.
Fantastic !I want to it!
that sounds perfect for a summer day!
It looks so yummy, I will surely try it.
That looks extremely delicious!! I love whisk(e)y so I'll have to try it.

ME & McDUFF:
HOW A DOG INSPIRED MY
JOURNEY TO A CREATIVE LIFE
By Leslie Oschmann
Foreword by Keith Johnson
Leslie Oschmann was at the height of her professional career in New York City Philadelphia working as a visuals director with a top lifestyle retailer, but despite her success in a creative industry she longed for more. She had two life-long wishes: to own a dog and to make things by hand, the way she used to as a child. Oschmann bravely cut her safety net and moved to Amsterdam, where soon after her arrival, she adopted a terrier named McDuff. In ME & McDUFF Oschmann shares their story through a collection of photo collages featuring McDuff in the starring role as they explored a new life together, side by side. Their adventures yielded not only a deep love for each other, but also a world of creativity and inspiration and a new career making art again. The result is an irresistible gift book for anyone who has ever suspected that a dog might be the answer to all of life's important questions.
Leslie Oschmann is an artist and maker known for transforming found objects into décor and artwork. She previously served as the visual-director for Anthropologie, during which time the company increased from eleven stores to eighty. With her canine muse, McDuff, she is the founder of Swarm (www.swarmhome.com). Keith Johnson is the former buyer-at-large for Anthropologie and host of Man Shops Globe.

Q: C - How to Read String Lines from Stdin or File Memory Save I need a version of read line that is memory save. I have this "working" solution. But I'm not sure how it behaves with memory. When I enable free(text) it works for a few lines and then I get an error. So now neither text nor result is ever freed although I malloc text. Is that correct ? And why is that so ?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

char* readFromIn()
{
    char* text = malloc(1024);
    char* result = fgets(text, 1024, stdin);
    if (result[strlen(result) - 1] == 10)
        result[strlen(result) - 1] = 0;
    //free(text);
    return result;
}

I have A LOT of short lines to read with this and I also need stdin to be replaceable with a FILE* handle. There is no need for me to realloc text because I have only short lines.

A: fgets returns a pointer to the string, so after the fgets line, result will be the same memory address as text. Then when you call free (text); you are returning invalid memory.
You should free the memory in the calling function when you have finished with result
You could also avoid the malloc/free stuff by structuring your code to pass a buffer something like this:
void parent_function ()
{
    char *buffer[1024];

    while (readFromIn(buffer)) {
        // Process the contents of buffer
    }
}

char *readFromIn(char *buffer)
{
    char *result = fgets(buffer, 1024, stdin);
    int len;

    // fgets returns NULL on error of end of input,
    // in which case buffer contents will be undefined
    if (result == NULL) {
        return NULL;
    }

    len = strlen (buffer);
    if (len == 0) {
        return NULL;
    }

    if (buffer[len - 1] == '\n') {
        buffer[len - 1] = 0;

    return buffer;
}

Trying to avoid the malloc/free is probably wise if you are dealing with many small, short lived items so that the memory doesn't get fragmented and it should faster as well.

A: char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream) reads in at most one less than size characters from stream and stores them into the buffer pointed to by s. Reading stops after an EOF or a newline. If a newline is read, it is stored into the buffer. A terminating null byte ('\0') is stored after the last character in the buffer.
Return Value: returns s on success, and NULL on error or when end of file occurs while no characters have been read.
So there are 2 critical problems with your code:

*

*You don't check the return value of fgets

*You want to deallocate the memory, where this string is stored and return a pointer to this memory. Accessing the memory, where such a pointer (dangling pointer) points to, leads to undefined behaviour.

Your function could look like this:
public char* readFromIn() {
    char* text = malloc(1024);
    if (fgets(text, 1024, stdin) != NULL) {
        int textLen = strlen(text);
        if (textLen > 0 && text[textLen - 1] == '\n')
            text[textLen - 1] == '\0';     // getting rid of newline character
        return text;
    }
    else {
        free(text);
        return NULL;
    }
}

and then caller of this function should be responsible for deallocating the memory that return value of this function points to.

A: I know you mentioned that the lines are only short, but none of the solutions provided will work for lines greater than 1024 in length. It is for this reason that I provide a solution which will attempt to read entire lines, and resize the buffer when there's not enough space.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MINIMUM_CAPACITY 16

size_t read_line(char **buffer, size_t *capacity) {
    char *buf = *buffer;
    size_t cap = *capacity, pos = 0;

    if (cap < MINIMUM_CAPACITY) { cap = MINIMUM_CAPACITY; }

    for (;;) {
        buf = realloc(buf, cap);
        if (buf == NULL) { return pos; }
        *buffer = buf;
        *capacity = cap;

        if (fgets(buf + pos, cap - pos, stdin) == NULL) {
            break;
        }

        pos += strcspn(buf + pos, "\n");
        if (buf[pos] == '\n') {
            break;
        }

        cap *= 2;
    }

    return pos;
}

int main(void) {
    char *line = NULL;
    size_t size = 0;

    for (size_t end = read_line(&line, &size); line[end] == '\n'; end = read_line(&line, &size)) {
        line[end] = '\0'; // trim '\n' off the end
        // process contents of buffer here
    }

    free(line);
    return 0;
}

An ideal solution should be able to operate with a fixed buffer of 1 byte. This requires a more comprehensive understanding of the problem, however. Once achieved, adapting such a solution would achieve the most optimal solution.

A: #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

char *readFromIn(FILE *fp)
{
    char text[1024];
    size_t len;

    if (!fgets(text, sizeof text, fp)) return NULL;
    len = strlen(text);

    while (len && text[len-1] == '\n') text[--len] = 0;

    return strdup(text);
}

A: Why did no one propose to move the buffer from heap to stack ? This is my solution now:
char input[1024]; // held ready as buffer for fgets

char* readFromIn()
{
    char* result = fgets(input, 1024, stdin);
    if (result == null)
        return "";
    if (result[strlen(result) - 1] == '\n')
        result[strlen(result) - 1] = 0;
    return result;
}

Executive Branch, Taxes
Inspector General's Report on the IRS: A Summary
Michael Wyland
It's been a week since the bombshell admission by IRS Exempt Organizations (EO) Director Lois Lerner that the IRS had targeted for special scrutiny conservative groups seeking tax-exempt recognition under Section 501(c)4 of the Internal Revenue Code. NPQ has been reporting on this all week, and the story has moved so fast that the Treasury Department investigation report that precipitated the furor has almost been lost in the rush.
A review of the report is in order for two reasons: first, because essential parts of the narrative in the media are factually incorrect; and second, reviewing the details of the report give an even bleaker picture of IRS operations than has been reported in the media. We anticipate that the upcoming Congressional hearings will bring some of these points into clearer focus.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TGITA)'s report on the IRS scandal is titled "Inappropriate Criteria Were Used to Identify Tax-Exempt Applications for Review." As US Government reports go, it's not too wordy, with a one-page summary, 21 pages of narrative, and 23 pages of appendices. The title, though harsh by bureaucratic standards, is actually mild when compared to some of the revelations in the report.
It should be noted that the version of the report made available to the public has certain information redacted, or censored. When watching the Congressional hearings, it's worth looking out for what new revelations lawmakers may introduce to the public by addressing redacted information.
There are three key findings in the report, listed on the "highlights" page. First, the IRS "allowed inappropriate criteria to be developed and stay in place for 18 months." Second, the processes the IRS attempted to implement "caused significant delays in processing certain applications." Third, the IRS "allowed unnecessary information requests to be issued."
"Inappropriate criteria" included terms such as "Tea Party," "Patriots," "Take Back the Country," "We the People," and "9/12," according to the report (the 9/12 Project is associated with radio host and former Fox News commentator Glenn Beck). "Significant delays" included no work at all being performed on selected applications for 13 months. "Unnecessary information" refers to the follow-up questionnaires sent to applicants by the IRS which asked for donor lists, membership lists, and printouts of Facebook accounts and websites, and even requests for information on an applicant organization's interactions with a specific named individual.
The singling out of applications for tax exemption based on potential political activity began in February 2010, long before an increase in applications was noted by the IRS. In fact, the IRS received slightly fewer 501(c)4 applications in 2010 than it did in 2009. The "influx of applications" the IRS cited as the basis for the detailed scrutiny process didn't occur until 2011 and 2012 (chart, page 3).
IRS staff in Cincinnati started looking for "Tea Party or similar organizations" in February 2010, but it was an IRS manager in Washington, not Cincinnati, who first suggested the need for a "sensitive case report" on the Tea Party cases. The manager supervising the applications processing in Cincinnati agreed. This happened very early in the process, on April 1–2, 2010. (Appendix VII)
The IRS did not single out just some 501(c)4 applications for detailed review. According to the report (page 9), they screened 501(c)3 (charities), 501(c)4 (social welfare organizations), 501(c)5 (labor unions and agricultural organizations), and 501(c)6 ("business leagues," usually trade and professional associations) applications for evidence of potential political orientation. Unfortunately, the report does not detail how many applications of each nonprofit type were selected. However, a footnote on page 12 of the report documents that 89 applications out of 298 (30 percent) were for 501(c)3 organizations.
The criteria used to select applications for special scrutiny changed five times between March 2010 and May 2012 (Appendix VI). Lower-level staff and first-line management established criteria that stayed in place for 18 months without senior management review and approval. Lower-level IRS staff and first-line IRS management even changed revised criteria directed by senior management without notifying senior management, because the lower-level IRS employees believed the approved, revised criteria were too generic.
The report finds that the selection criteria were only partially successful in targeting the desired applications for review, based on the IG's review of a random sample of all 501(c)4 applications closed between May 2010 and May 2012. This statistical review indicates that: 1) there may have been an additional 185 cases that should have been selected for detailed scrutiny that were not selected; and 2) of the 298 cases that were selected for detailed scrutiny by the IRS, 91 of them (31 percent) with complete documentation should not have been selected for scrutiny in the first place (pages 9-10).
The IRS's screening process and the delays in approving or denying tax exemption resulted in applicants waiting more than three years for a decision. Approximately half the applications referred to in the report are still awaiting a final decision from the IRS. The IRS's own regulations allow an applicant for tax-exempt recognition to sue the IRS if their application is not processed within 270 days (pages 15-16).
·The IG's report made nine recommendations to address the problems. The IRS agreed with seven of the recommendations and disagreed with two. The IRS also believed that the problems documented in the report had been solved and that implementing the recommendations would formalize actions already committed to by IRS (Appendix VIII). The IG flatly disagreed with the IRS's assessment, as well as with the proposed alternative solutions to the two IG recommendations the IRS took exception to.
The "Influx of Applications"
The IRS has claimed that its actions to "centralize" processing of applications from groups with potential for political campaign activity was in response to a sudden influx of 501(c)4 applications between 2010 and 2012. As stated above, the centralizing and the political keyword-based selection process predate the increase in applications. There are two additional reasons why this assertion is misleading. First, the same IRS group, the Determinations Unit, is responsible for processing all applications for tax exemption. The IG's report looked at numbers of applications from 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), and 501(c)(6) organizations (table, page 3). Taken as a group, the total number of applications declined from 2009 to 2010, and stayed basically flat in 2011. There was a 14 percent jump in total applications in 2012 over 2011, but the total of applications received in 2012 was less than six percent higher than the total received in 2009. (A significant drop in 501(c)3 applications in 2010 and 2011 accounts for the lower total number.) Second, as noted above, the IRS was using the selection criteria on not only 501(c)4 applications, but on some or all of the other categories as well, always also including the largest category, 501(c)3 applications.
The Work Stoppage
The reason for the work stoppage would be laughable if it weren't so tragic. October of 2010 is a pivotal month (Appendix VII). The Tea Party cases were transferred from one IRS staffer ("Determinations Unit specialist") in Cincinnati to another. Staff in Cincinnati had questions and asked for guidance from the "Technical Unit" at IRS headquarters. Rather than generating individual letters requesting additional information from applicants, couldn't a form letter be developed? After all, the concerns about political campaign involvement were similar or the same in all cases. Guidance was requested on October 26, 2010. The Determinations Unit specialist stopped work on all cases while awaiting the answer to the question about developing a form letter.
IRS headquarters did not provide guidance, despite several follow-up requests by IRS field staff and assurances that guidance was forthcoming. Finally, draft written guidance was issued by IRS headquarters in November 2011. The first batch of letters requesting additional information from applicants were sent not sent until January 2012.
Asking a question and waiting more than a year to get an answer is an example of what the report calls "ineffective management." One of the factors influencing the ineffective management was the turnover in managerial personnel at the IRS, with issues such as this either getting lost in the transition or requiring new personnel to develop familiarity with the details of their new position's responsibilities. The report also refers to "acting" managers more than once, further indicating a less-than-stable management structure. NPQ has reported about the personnel stresses the IRS faces over the next several years.
The initial selection criteria developed in March 2010 for applications to be selected for special scrutiny included such keywords as "Tea Party," "Patriots," "Take Back the Country," "We the People," and "9/12," according to the report. (Within the IRS, all cases selected for special scrutiny based on "indicators of significant political campaign involvement" were referred to as "Tea Party cases," even when other criteria were used for selection.)
Lower-level staff initiated the original criteria without approval from senior management. These criteria were used for approximately 18 months (early 2010 until summer 2011). Senior management directed that more general criteria be used after July 2011. However, lower-level staff believed that the revised criteria were too generic and made changes of their own, without senior management approval, to narrow the criteria in January 2012. The narrowed criteria were "political action type organizations involved in limiting/expanding government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform/movement." Senior management learned of this change three months later, and issued new criteria in May 2012. The new criteria were "501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), and 501(c)(6) organizations with indicators of significant amounts of political campaign intervention (raising questions as to exempt purpose and/or excess private benefit)."
Letters Requesting Additional Information
After a long delay, in January and February 2012 the IRS sent letters to many of the applicants selected for additional screening. The IG's report described many of the questions asked in these letters as "unnecessary," which is a mild term for the information being demanded. Some of the information requests included requests for material (such as donor lists) that would have to be made public as part of an application, but which would be prohibited from being made public if it were asked of an existing tax-exempt organization. After media reports of objections to the letters, the IRS reviewed the letters, stopped additional letters from being sent, and extended the time period for applicants to respond to letters already sent (page 19). The IRS also identified seven specific "unnecessary" questions in the letters (page 20):
Requests the names of donors.
Requests a list of all issues that are important to the organization and asks that the organization indicate its position regarding such issues.
Requests 1) the roles and activities of the audience and participants other than members in the activity and 2) the type of conversations and discussions members and participants had during the activity.
Asks whether the officer, director, etc., has run or will run for public office.
Requests the political affiliation of the officer, director, speakers, candidates supported, etc., or otherwise refers to the relationship with identified political party-related organizations.
Requests information regarding employment, other than for the organization, including hours worked.
Requests information regarding activities of another organization—not just the relationship of the other organization to the applicant.
The media reports referenced by the IRS, as well as media reports in the past week, document these and many other intrusive questions and information being asked of applicant organizations by IRS personnel. NPQ has also reported that groups have been subjected to issue- and belief-related IRS scrutiny as long ago as the 1990s.
The IG included nine recommendations in the report (pages 10-11, 16-17, and 21). Three of the nine recommendations centered on new or better training for IRS field personnel relating to the handling of applications for tax exemption. The IRS agreed with these recommendations. The IRS also agreed that senior managers needed to authorize and document the application selection criteria and changes to selection criteria used by field personnel, that there should be a formal process for field personnel to request technical assistance from IRS headquarters, and that any open cases (applications not yet processed) should be expedited. The IRS also agreed that there should be guidance developed on what constitutes "primary activity" by a 501(c)4, though its action is to pass the recommendation to the Treasury General Counsel's office for further work.
The IRS disagreed with the IG's recommendation that written guidance needed to be developed to assist field personnel with the task of selecting applications for detailed scrutiny. Instead, the IRS recommended that training be used to address this issue. The IG disagreed with this and insisted that written guidance is necessary. The IG also recommended that the IRS develop a plan to better document why specific applications are selected for additional scrutiny. The IRS believed that such a process might delay processing of applications. It suggested a review of its screening procedures to see what might be done to improve them without delaying application processing. The IG's disagreement with that proposed solution was palpable, noting that, "…the average time applications [selected for detailed scrutiny] have been open is 574 days as of December 17, 2012. We do not believe documenting a brief explanation about why applications are chosen for review would have an adverse impact on the timeliness of case processing."
The report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration will play an important role in Congressional and FBI investigations. It documents the problems and provides a detailed timeline of events. The IG's report addresses processes and systems rather than people, while the investigations to come will likely focus much more on who was responsible for poor decision-making, lack of oversight, and other errors (possibly crimes) of omission and commission.

Force Platform Add-on
OpenSignalsSKU: 870992003
The Force Platform add-on for the OpenSignals (r)evolution software is designed to extract the most important force parameters from acquisitions conducted with the biosignalsplux Force Platform including the real-time visualization of the Center of Gravity, applied force and mass on the platform.
Additionally, in post-acquisition mode, this add-on computes the maximum occurred force within a defined signal interval, the Force Production Rate (FPR in N/s), and jump analysis-specific parameters such as the jump height (in cm) and the flight time (time spend in the air during a jump).
This add-on can be used in a variety of research applications, with biomechanics, sports, and ergonomics research being just some examples of application examples where Center of Gravity displacement, jump analysis, weight assessment, and/or force production capacity are monitored.
Force, Center of Gravity & Jump Analysis Tools with PDF & CSV Report Generation
The Force Platform add-on extracts the following online (real-time) and offline (post-processing) parameters found below. The Center of Gravity (CoG) is visualized in real-time during the signal acquisition and highlighted as a blue dot on the Force Platform illustrated in the add-on.
Extra Parameters
Online Parameters:
Center of Gravity computation and visualization
Force (N) & mass (kg) computation
Adjustable baseline (e.g. start of the acquisition with an initial weight
Offline Parameters

Mission, Philosophy and Episcopal Identity
The mission of St Luke's Preschool is to provide a diverse, nurturing, and safe environment that encourages wonder, supports self-paced learning and instills respect for diversity.
St. Luke's Preschool is a ministry of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Our program is guided by and grounded in the principles expressed our baptismal covenant and reflects the Episcopal values of learning, inclusion, common prayer and excellence. We believe each child is sacred, special and unique. We seek to meet each child's individual needs in a secure, emotionally supported environment. We provide a caring and nurturing environment for infants and toddlers Our preschool program prepares children for kindergarten and build their confidence by offering a variety of age-appropriate and playful social, intellectual, emotional and physical activities within a relaxed and accepting environment. We believe that learning comes most naturally through play. Our program includes morning prayer, meal blessings, chapel and activities related to Christian celebrations.
What is an Episcopal School?
Christian communities whose missions integrate spiritual formation into all aspects of the educational experience; they are ecumenical Schools not parish schools. Episcopal schools exist not merely to educate, but to demonstrate and proclaim the unique worth and beauty of all human beings as creations of a loving, empowering God.
What does it mean to have an Episcopal Identity?
The mission and program of the school are expressions of Episcopal values and are grounded in the basic principles of our baptismal covenant.
Episcopal Values
Learning– We expect our school will provide high quality programming that continues to evolve to meet the needs of parents and children.
Inclusion – We emphasize the importance of unity in diversity in our school and seek to promote diversity in both students and faculty.
Unity in Liturgy – We offer a rhythm of daily prayer in our school day, a curriculum correlated with the liturgical year, and offer weekly chapel and religious formation.
Excellence – We strive for a culture of excellence in our school and a focus on the development of the whole person.
What are the principles in the Baptismal Covenant?
Our baptismal covenant calls us to honor, celebrate and worship God as the creator of life, to be models of God's love and grace, to serve God in Christ in all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability or religion, to strive for justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being.
How does our school reflect the principles of the baptismal covenant?
School Worship that is creative and inclusive that is a regular part of school life;
Community Life in which reflection, prayer, and matters of the spirit are honored and cultivated;
Religious Formation taught in an age appropriate manner that fosters dialogue with other faith traditions; Episcopal schools should encourage those who attend and work in them to seek clarity about their own beliefs and religions and to honor those traditions more fully and faithfully in their own lives.
Social Justice ideals into integrate teaching and practices by emphasizing equity, justice, and inclusivity.
Episcopal schools weave these principles into the fabric of the school's life; their mission is built on the foundation of Christian love.

Microsoft Edge Virus Removal
Microsoft Edge is the most advanced browser that Microsoft has ever launched. The browser is much more robust than any of the previous versions of the Internet Explorer and works faster than its predecessors as well.
However, recently, people started complaining of receiving many ads. Many of them noticed weird changes in their web browsers. When these occurrences became far too common, people started believing these changes happened because of a virus and dubbed it as the Microsoft Edge virus. Other people thought that there as a problem with the browser itself.
In this article, we will explore what the Microsoft Edge virus is and how you can remove it from your computer effectively.
Advertising Disclosure: Many or all of the companies featured provide compensation to us. These commissions are how we maintain our free service for consumers. Compensation, along with hours of in-depth research, determines where & how companies appear on our site.
You can now get all the great benefits of anti-virus protection without spending money or waiting for a sale. Check out how you can protect iOS and Android devices and much more.

What Is the Microsoft Edge Virus?
First of all, if you have been suffering from recurring pop-ups and annoying ads, it's unlikely that your web browser is at fault here. The most probable cause for this is a program that people refer to as the Microsoft Edge virus.
To be fair, the program is not even a legitimate virus. Instead, it is a browser hijacker that also behaves like adware. Although the malware is dubbed as the Microsoft Edge virus, it can easily infect any other virus, such as Chrome, Opera, or Firefox. Regardless of which browser it infects, the program can change every setting from top to bottom.
These unwanted programs are known for disrupting the browsing experience of Microsoft Edge users. Victims often suffer from popping ad banners and constant redirects to suspicious sites. Some users have even reported software they never installed on their computers.
A browser hijacker doesn't stop at pestering its victims with advertisements. The program can change the browser's search engine by replacing the original engine with a search engine that shows websites sponsoring the browser hijacker.
Besides that, the hijacker completely changes the homepage of the browser. Instead of viewing your most-visited websites on the homepage, you will see embedding links of the sites the hijacker wants you to visit.
The reason that browser hijackers behave this way is that the developers of these browser hijackers have vested interests in those ads. For each sale these websites make, the hijacker developers get a portion of the profits. Other times, the developers own the products on these websites and start spamming users with ads in order to increase their sales.
How Do You Get Infected With the Microsoft Edge Virus?
Developers of browser hijackers are extremely resourceful at delivering these annoying programs to people. They make use of deceptive tactics, such as social engineering to trick users into downloading the program by their own hands.
Sometimes, you may receive emails claiming that you have won a prize, or you are in line for a lucky draw. Once you click the attachments of these dubious emails, the program will tighten its grip on your Microsoft Edge browser.
On other occasions, developers embed these programs in corrupted links on shady websites. Once you visit the website and click on these links, the program will infect your device.
However, one of the most popular and effective ways of spreading these applications is by bundling them with free services. Yes, that's right; the free services that most people frequently use are the biggest source of browser hijackers.
Why Is the Microsoft Edge Virus Dangerous?
You might be thinking, these are just ads, what harm could they do besides interupt your browsing? Well, this is where you are wrong. Firstly, Edge is a WinRT-based browser, so it doesn't support extensions that might curb the effects of the browser hijacker.
Therefore, you can't do anything to stop these ads from ruining your online activities. However, things can go quite nasty soon if you don't get rid of the browser hijacker. Since the browser hijacker spams your screen advertising links every now and then, it's possible that one of these links carries a dangerous virus.
It's not uncommon for adware browser hijackers to be a source of further virus infection. These programs facilitate other malware to keep track of you. Applications like phishing software monitor your behavior online. They record what you search for, which websites you visit the most, and some even have the ability to record your financial credentials through keyboard loggers.
Other times, these browser hijackers can open links that contain security threats, such as Trojans and ransomware. These high-level viruses are one of the most dangerous viruses on the web.
The Microsoft Edge virus can also be a threat to your privacy, the safety of your computer, and finances. So, if you don't remove the Microsoft Edge virus soon, you'll be in for real trouble.

Threat Summary
Name of Software Microsoft Edge Virus
Type Adware/Browser Hijacker/Potentially Unwanted Program
Danger Level Because Microsoft Edge Virus is not a virus itself, it poses a medium risk to its victims. However, the program has the potential to harm you through other means.
Symptoms The Microsoft Edge program will constantly spam your screen with ads. Therefore, the program is hard to miss.
Distribution Method The potentially unwanted program can enter your system through a number of different methods, including spam emails, peer-to-peer networks, and bundled software.
Detection Tool Browser hijackers can be a menace as they install dubious software without permission. The TotalAV antivirus is a great tool for detecting all kinds of viruses. So, you won't have to worry about removing the Microsoft Edge virus or any malware downloaded by the virus.
You can try TotalAV's 7-day trial version to test all its premium feature. However, we advise users to buy the full product in order to stay protected from viruses in the future.
As mentioned before, it's dangerous to keep the Microsoft Edge virus on your computer. The presence of this browser hijacker is a constant threat to your computer's security and your personal privacy. Therefore, you should remove the Microsoft Edge virus as soon as you detect it. Use the following techniques to remove Microsoft Edge from your device.
Technique#1: Removing It Manually
Removing the browser hijacker manually can remove some components of the malware. However, there's always the chance that the virus will make a comeback.
Step #1: Resetting the Browser
Resetting the browser to its default settings can undo every change brought upon by the Microsoft Edge virus.
To reset your Microsoft Edge browser, you will need to click on the icon present at the top-right corner of the browser screen. After that, select Settingsfrom the resulting drop-down list.
Alternatively, you can type "edge://settings/" in the address bar and hit Enter to open the settings.
After opening the settings, select the 'Reset Settings'option from this list.
Consequently, you will have to click on "Restore settings to their default values" and then select "Reset Settings" to confirm the action.
Note: Restoring default settings will set back any changes initiated by the Microsoft Edge virus. However, it will not remove the core files that are responsible for making those changes. For that, you'll have to delete those files from the computer memory and also remove its traces from the system registry.
Step#2: Remove Suspicious Applications from the Control Panel
After removing additional applications installed on your web browser, you should look for malware in other parts of your computer.
Firstly, open the Control Panel by pressing "Windows+R" simultaneously, typing "cpl" in the resulting run command interface and hitting Enter.
The Control Panel maintains a list of all the applications installed on the computer. Closely, search through every application to see if they are suspicious. Remove every suspicious application individually.
To do that, hover your cursor over the dubious application, press the right-click button of your mouse and then select Uninstall.
Method#2: Install Total AV Antivirus
Identifying harmful programs in the control panel is not an easy job, and it's almost impossible to remove every suspicious program manually. Besides that, uninstalling these applications will not remove its traces from the registry.
You need an all-round antivirus solution to get rid of all the viruses introduced by the Microsoft Edge virus. The TotalAV antivirus is a great option for removing every trace of the virus from
your system. Moreover, it can stop viruses from infecting your system with the help of its real-time protection.
Copy https://www.totalav.com/start/download, open your web browser and then press "Ctrl + V" in the browser's address bar. Press the green button that reads "Download Now" to initiate the download.
Step#2: Complete the Installation Process
Click the downloaded file in the bottom left section of your browser screen to start the installation process. When the operating system asks permission to install TotalAV, click "Yes" on the alert window. The installation setup will take time to download all critical updates. Therefore, you'll have to wait until the download can be completed.
Step#3: Restart Your Device
Once all essential updates have been downloaded, the system will ask you to restart your device. Click on 'Yes' to proceed.
Step#4: Start the System Scan
When the device is back on, open the TotalAV antivirus, and select the Antivirus option. After that, select "System Scan" and click on the System Scan icon to initiate a full-memory virus scan.
The virus scan analyzes each file in your system memory, so it might take a few hours to be completed. Wait until the scan is completed and then review the recommendations given by the TotalAV antivirus.
TotalAV can eliminate all major threats at once, but will ask your permission to 'Take Action' on lower threats. So, approve the actions of the antivirus. However, the antivirus will send some suspicious programs to the "Quarantine" section. If you're 100% sure that a program is genuine, restore that file; if not, delete every program in this section.
Get Protection from Cyber Threats for Free!
Total AV is the best choice for anyone who wants online protection at a low price because you get free protection from the world's top threats. When you download today, you even receive a 30-day money back guarantee. What are you waiting for? Get your free copy of Total AV Today!

The Microsoft Edge browser hijacker is not a deadly virus itself. However, the program allows other viruses to infiltrate your system. It creates vulnerabilities in the operating system, which other viruses can easily exploit.
The best way to protect your system from intrusive advertisement, phishing campaigns, and dangerous Trojans and ransomware is by installing the TotalAV antivirus. The application uses stringent real-time protection to detect the presence of any malware, even if you don't run any scan.
It will ensure that you continue to enjoy your browsing experience and keep on using the web without any risk. In short, TotalAV is your best option to ensure the long-term safety of all your devices.

It is important for Hunter Mill residents to have opportunities to hear from and learn from each other as Fairfax County explores changing how we identify Confederate-named public streets and other places." Background: In December 2020, the Fairfax County History Commission completed a report in response to a June 23, 2020 directive from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors initiated by Supervisor Alcorn and Providence District Supervisor Dalia Palchik, which included the legal and financial implications of possible name changes, and input from other county entities. The scope of the report was refined after History Commission representatives met with Supervisors Alcorn and Palchik to clarify what should be included in the inventory. The resulting report excludes federal property, public schools, places of worship, and cemeteries. Out of the approximately 26,500 assets the History Commission examined, approximately 157 assets, including parks, within the County, were confirmed as having Confederate associated names.
Reston Comprehensive Plan Study Next Steps Include Community Engagement
The Reston Comprehensive Plan Study Task Force is scheduled to wrap up its review process this summer following a yearlong effort and more than two dozen meetings. Its recommendations will then be shared for feedback at town hall meetings and dialogues with stakeholders such as homeowner associations, community organizations and business groups. Since May 2020, the Reston Comprehensive Plan Study Task Force members have been working diligently, with the support of the county's Department of Planning and Development, to review and propose updates to key elements of the Comprehensive Plan including the planned balance of ongoing redevelopment, infrastructure and the environment across all of Reston. Topic areas under review include: Planning Principles Population Transportation Parks & Open Space Village Center Density Public Art Equity Energy/Environment Public Health Affordable Housing The review process of the Reston Comprehensive Plan was initiated in January 2020 by Hunter Mill District Supervisor Walter Alcorn and approved by the Board of Supervisors for additional study and community input. "The review process has been somewhat slowed by the pandemic, but I am very excited by the work and the collaboration by the task force, as well as county agencies including the Department of Planning and Development and Department of Transportation, among others. We still have several months of work ahead, but I believe the outcome will reaffirm Restonians' decision to live in a planned, equity-focused community," noted Supervisor Alcorn.

Review: Cinnabar's 'Cry It Out' delivers pitch-perfect performances
JENNY HOLLINGWORTH
THEATRE CRITIC
If you're a parent, did you sleep-train your children when they were very young? Jessie thinks it's probably a good idea (or at least, her husband does), but Lina disagrees. She's not into it because "I don't hate babies!" After all, she says, what kind of person leaves someone crying alone in the dark?
Playwright Molly Smith Metzler asks this and many other questions about the 'right' way to parent in the equally funny and moving 'Cry It Out,' now playing at Cinnabar Theater in Petaluma. 21st century women are supposed to 'have it all,' but this comic drama makes clear that none of the choices facing modern mothers are easy, or settled.
Jessie (Ilana Niernberger) is a young professional woman with a new baby whose problematic and traumatizing birth has left her understandably reluctant to go back to work, despite pressure from her (unseen) husband whose future plans depend on Jessie's salary. Lina (Amanda Vitiello) is Jessie's neighbor, unmarried and living with her boyfriend, who doesn't trust her boyfriend's mother to look after her baby, but who can't afford not to go back to work. Adrienne (Kelly Donnelly) is a wealthy, successful career woman who earns as much as her husband and sees no reason why she should have to give up her career to be with their child. Mitchell (Andrew Patton) is Adrienne's husband, a man completely at sea in this world of new parenting, trying but failing to understand his wife's perspective and fumblingly reaching out to Jessie and Lina for help.
Outstanding performances by both Niernberger and Vitiello, together with wonderful chemistry between them, bring heart and credibility to a script that is bursting with acute observations
Outstanding performances by both Niernberger and Vitiello, together with wonderful chemistry between them, bring heart and credibility to a script that is bursting with acute observations on the joys, stresses and terrors of new motherhood. Both actors are pitch-perfect and almost from the first sentence, it's impossible not to lean into their conversation and find yourself sympathizing with them. Their burgeoning friendship, despite their different socio-economic circumstances, is built around the affirming bond that exists between new mothers who might otherwise themselves be crying alone in the dark.
Jessie and Lina's shared understanding of motherhood is challenged by Adrienne, whose perspective is at right angles to theirs, but not without its own validity. Kelly Donnelly plays Adrienne as too unsympathetic initially for her views to have any real weight, but when she finally makes her feelings about motherhood clear, you are compelled to listen, though you might not like them. Andrew Patton does a good job at keeping Mitchell believable as the CEO of his own company, despite his indecisiveness and obvious discomfort at being thrust into the world of motherhood.
'Cry It Out' is perfectly paced and skillfully navigates between moments of high comedy and emotional punches
Under the guiding hands of director Molly Noble, 'Cry It Out' is perfectly paced and skillfully navigates between moments of high comedy and emotional punches that had female audience members audibly murmuring with recognition. Noble is also smart to run the show without an intermission; it really doesn't need one and I was grateful that the theatre didn't feel obliged to interrupt the flow of the action. Scene changes are punctuated with some nicely chosen and often amusing music clips, and the whole takes place against the backdrop of a well-designed, realistic-looking front yard.
If you've experienced motherhood, you'll find plenty to laugh at in 'Cry It Out,' – much of it of the 'better laugh than cry' variety that you probably remember from those early days of trying to be the perfect mother. But when Jessie confesses to being lonely and overwhelmed, and when Lina cries that she wasn't there for her child when she should have been, you'll probably remember those feelings as well - and how it was the loyal friendship of other mothers that helped you cry it out, and laugh about it too.
'Cry It Out' plays at Cinnabar Theater, Petaluma until September 26. Running time is approximately 95 minutes with no intermission. Show times and tickets at https://cinnabartheater.org/


This is the one your mama warned you about. The Schwinn Sting-Ray Electric. Choose your mode of power: pedal, electric or both together for crazy speed. Electric power will get you up to 14 mph. Leave your buddies in the dust. They'll catch up. Maybe. The removable, rechargeable battery system looks like a V-Twin engine and can be charged on or off the bike. Looks sweet, too.
* Now the legend has more power! 24 V DC 250 watt motor w/ rechargeable batteries power the StingRay along with or without pedaling.

Scaffolding gone. At last we can see what the house looks like after all these months of work. You can see we are prepared for the winter. The pile of wood to the left also blocks the wind from the north. The turquoise car is our faithful workhorse. With it we transport wood out of the forest, building materials and what else. We are looking forward to the next winter.
Here is the dryer Barbara has long waited for. It is really simple. Everything is simple. But all things together is a lot. And becomes a 'lot to do'. The dryer works because behind the glass is a blackened surface. Sun hits it and an airflow starts. In the top are drawers with fine mesh. On those one can put mushrooms, tomatoes, apples etc. Everything you want to keep through the winter and be able to use off season.
Clearing terrain can be sometimes easier when you put in a mechanical monster. What would have taken us weeks, took this steel creation a half hour. It caused a dust storm at the time. Pieces of wood shot out of the back over a hundred meters. Like arrows. This is in preparation of parking and entrance to the camping to be. When terrain is being cleared, space appears. Shrubbery can be blinding. And again, sometimes a mechanical tool can clear away things that you imagine are going to take for ever doing. And yet, also that can be a fantasy. How to do it simply. With the natural means. Is still a challenge.

As the year winds down, the writers and staff at Books Tell You Why would like to take a moment to thank all of our loyal readers. Engaging with you over the course of 2016 has been a delight. It is your smart commentary, unique insights, and thoughtful criticism that make this blog a remarkable platform for rare book collectors and book-lovers of all kinds.
Let's take a look back at some of our highlights this year. Here are the ten most-read posts on blogis liborum, written and published in 2016.
To know Winnie-the-Pooh is to love Winnie-the-Pooh. And thanks in large part to Disney and the commercialization of the beloved classic children's literature character, almost everyone knows Winnie-the-Pooh. Walk into any store and you'll see Pooh pajamas, Pooh placemats, Pooh picture frames, and countless other Pooh-inspired paraphernalia. It's safe to say the image of Pooh is a familiar one. Read more.
If you're confused after reading the title of this article, odds are you're not alone. Even the most savvy, in-tune reader might not be able to explain the Horatio Alger Myth or its significance in late 19th Century American literature. And that's strange given how prevalent the Horatio Alger Myth is and how it managed to permeate modern American storytelling in ways that today ring as cliché, tired, and uninspired. Read more.
Today, we celebrate Jane Austen's beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice, on the anniversary of its publication. How does one do such a book justice? It is nearly impossible. So, we thought we'd let Ms. Austen's own words do most of the talking. After all, Pride and Prejudice is timeless, and the following quotes—and the lessons they teach us—will continue to inspire, chastise, encourage, and humor readers for generations to come. Read more.
The Victorian Era, which corresponds to the reign of Queen Victoria beginning in 1837, gave birth to some of the best loved novels in literary history. Like most eras, it produced works that both reflected and rebelled against the social mores of the time. Their characters and themes, however, seem to transcend time and place, and present us with stories worth revisiting years, decades, and even centuries later. Here is our list of the top ten Victorian novels. Read more.
What would it look like to take a trek across the country (and outside the country, too) to visit all of the homes and favorite haunts of Ernest Hemingway? The novelist and short-story writer made his homes in seemingly disparate parts of the United States and the Caribbean, not to mention the years he spent living abroad as an expatriate in Paris, France. We're intrigued by the varied climates that captured the writer's interest, particularly in relation to his relatively domestic beginnings in Oak Park, Illinois. So, if you were going to take a tour through Hemingway's life, what homes would need to make your list? Read more.
The short story and jazz music have taken quite the similar journey through the cultural consciousness of American society. Now relegated to niche art forms, both flourished in the early and mid-parts of the 20th Century, reaching a level of popularity that transcended age, race, and regionalism. Simply put, everyone listened to jazz and everyone read short stories, and everyone talked about them as important exports of American culture. Read more.
What is a bookworm, anyway? Is it the baby of a beetle? A living creature that loves books? A larvae placed there by a moth? Why do we care, again? If you're interested in learning more about how to identify and beat the bookworm in order to keep your books and collection safe, you're in the right place. Read on for our best bookworm-busting strategies. Read more.
Thomas Hardy's long life, spanning from 1840 to 1928, positions him between two critical points in literary history. His legacy connects the masterful British writers like Wordsworth and Eliot to the era of Modernism that culminated in the likes of Woolf and that other, more poetic Eliot. Hardy's most significant work spans some five decades, comprising novels and poetry that today are regarded as classics of the canon. Read more.
If the 30,000 volume book collection housed in Umberto Eco's Milan apartment can be said to inspire one response, it might well be awe. Lila Azam Zanganeh, who interviewed Eco for The Paris Review described Eco's abode as "a labyrinth of corridors lined with bookcases that reach all the way up to extraordinarily high ceilings," and makes mention of the library as "a legend in and of itself." Most commonly, when a visitor is first shown the veritable universe of books that expands throughout the author's home, they can think of only one question: "have you read all of these?" Read more.
James A. Michener is well known for his historical fiction, in-depth research, and lengthy volumes. His books are strong narratives that take an intimate look at the human experience through the lens of historical events and times now past. They will also make long layovers, lazy beach weekends, and stretches of time disappear in a sea of historical fascination. These are ten of his biggest and best books of all time. Read more.
Thank you again for reading and engaging with us. We look forward to continuing the bookish discussion in 2017 and beyond! Happy New Year!

Serbs ask Russia to veto UN resolution on Srebrenica massacre
by Daily Sabah with Wires
by Daily Sabah with Wires Jul 06, 2015 12:00 am
Serbia on Saturday asked Russia to veto a British U.N. Security Council resolution that would call the massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys during the Bosnian war in Srebrenica genocide. The U.N. Security Council will vote the resolution on July 7. Serbian state TV said the country's pro-Russian President Tomislav Nikolic has sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin "pleading" for a Russian "no" in the U.N. council when the resolution is expected to be tabled next week.
Western nations and Russia have been dueling in the U.N. over whether the killings should be called genocide or not. Russia, which has close historic and religious ties to Serbia, has circulated a rival draft resolution which doesn't mention either Srebrenica or genocide.
The British resolution was intended to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the July 1995 slaughter. U.N. courts have labeled it genocide. Serbian officials say the resolution should include all victims of the Bosnian civil war that pitted Christian Orthodox Serbs against the Bosnian Muslims and Croat Catholics. Nikolic's move also reflects political divisions in Serbia among those who seek closer ties with the European Union and his pro-Russian faction that want Serbia in the Kremlin orbit. Serbia's prime minister Aleksandar Vucic, a former extreme nationalist who now declares himself as pro-EU, has said he is ready to attend memorial ceremonies marking the Srebrenica anniversary in Srebrenica but also has refused to call it genocide.
Following the British-drafted resolution commemorating the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, The British-drafted resolution has angered Bosnian Serbs and Serbia, who branded it as "anti-Serb" and sent a letter of protest to the United Nations. The British draft strongly condemns the genocide at Srebrenica and any denial of this genocide, while the Russian text instead condemns "the most serious crimes of concern to the international committee."
The U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday admitted the U.N. failed in its duty to protect the victims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre. "The UN Secretariat, the Security Council and member states share the blame," Ban said at an event in New York to commemorate the 8,000 Muslims murdered by Serb paramilitaries in the Bosnian town while under the protection of UN peacekeepers. Ban said the "atrocious murder of Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica will forever weigh on the collective conscience of the international community." Recalling a 2012 visit to Bosnia, Ban told how the "endless rows of tombstones is now etched in my mind" and said he would "always remember the tears and pain of the mothers and loved ones of those who were killed because of who they were."
On July 11, 1995, towards the end of Bosnia's 1992-95 war, Bosnian Serb forces swept into the eastern Srebrenica enclave, a U.N.-designated "safe haven." 8,000 Muslim men and boys were executed in the days that followed, dumping their bodies into pits.
Serbia acknowledges that a "grave crime" took place and adopted a declaration condemning the massacre in 2010 as it sought closer ties with the West, but stopped short of describing it as genocide. Its president at the time, Boris Tadic, attended the 15th anniversary commemoration.
The U.N. war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has ruled the worst mass killing on European soil since World War Two was genocide.

Sixty pupils hit by flu-like virus at Bristol school
An outbreak of a flu-like virus has seen about 60 pupils at a junior school struck down with illness.
Public Health England (PHE) confirmed it is investigating the outbreak affecting one-third of pupils at Backwell Junior School in Bristol.
It said testing is under way to confirm if the illness affecting the children is flu.
Parent Jenny Holmes said the school has been "really proactive about telling us about it and keeping us all informed".
Mrs Holmes, whose son Flynn has been affected, said: "Loads and loads of the kids are off school with a combination of with flu and colds.
"My WhatsApp groups are full of people telling me their children are off sick.
"There has been a few times when vomiting bugs have gone round, but never this many have gone down in one go."
In a statement, PHE said: "North Somerset Council and NHS partners are working with Backwell Junior School in north Somerset following around 60 reported cases of influenza-like-illness in pupils at the school.
"Parents, carers and staff at the school have been reminded by Public Health England about the importance of good respiratory and hand hygiene, the protection offered by the seasonal flu vaccine for those at higher risk of flu, and the need to keep children off school who have symptoms."
Nick Webster, headteacher at Backwell Junior School said: "Unfortunately, we have a number of pupils currently off school with flu-like symptoms. We hope that they are feeling better soon.
"Since the illness was first reported, the school's vaccination session has been bought forward to protect the school population and a deep clean of the school has also taken place.
"School nurses have also been available to give advice and information."

That became wide spread (at least in the school) in a very short period of time. I see that this was before the vaccination season!
