On Monday, January 25, 2010, a new exhibition marking the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, "Architecture of Murder: The Auschwitz-Birkenau Blueprints", opened at Yad Vashem in the presence of the diplomatic corps and the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.
On display are original architectural blueprints of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The exhibition displays original plans of structures in Auschwitz-Birkenau that were mostly prepared in the fall of 1941. The plans were found in 2008 in an abandoned apartment in Berlin and purchased by the German media corporation "Axel Springer", the publisher of the newspaper "Bild". They were given to Prime Minister Netanyahu on August 30, 2009, and will be preserved for perpetuity in Yad Vashem.
After the inauguration of the new exhibition a special symposium marking the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz was held in the presence of dozens of members of the diplomatic corps, Holocaust survivors, including survivors of Auschwitz, Minister of Education Gideon Saar, Minister Yossi Peled, Deputy Minister of Pensioner Affairs Dr. Lea Nass, Ambassador of Cameroon in Israel and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps H.E. Henri Etoundi Essomba, Chairman of the Yad Vashem Council Rabbi Israel Meir Lau and Chairman of the Yad Vashem Directorate Avner Shalev. Present at the ceremony as well were Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum Director Dr. Piotr Cywinski, Chief Editor and Publisher of the newspaper "Bild" of the Axel-Springer group Kai Diekmann, Chairman of the Friends of Yad Vashem in Germany Ms. Hildegard Müller, members of the Yad Vashem Directorate, a delegation of the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem lead by the National Chair of the Canadian Society Mrs. Fran Sonshine.
Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said:
"It may seem to some that because there are remaining witnesses to a crime, that the historical memory is preserved. That is not true, and history can be twisted out of shape a lot faster than you think, and certainly over a slow period of time it can be destroyed beyond recognition. Therefore the value of what is being done here is first of all to preserve historical truth. And the action that has been done here over the years by Yad Vashem has been important, first of all, for tabulating the basic evidence of the greatest crime in history. The addition of these documents courtesy of the Axel-Springer group is an important bulwark of this historical truth, because it shows in graphic detail the design of murder, the premeditation of mass murder, the execution of mass murder according to a deliberate plan. And this is a very important contribution to the body of evidence."
Speaking at the symposium were Minister of Education Gideon Saar, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, Holocaust survivor Ruth Bondy, Professor Shlomo Avineri, Professor Moshe Halbertal, Historical Advisor to the exhibition Dr. Daniel Uziel, Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum Director Dr. Piotr Cywinski, "Bild" editor Kai Diekmann, Chairman of the Yad Vashem Council Dr. Israel Meir Lau and Chairman of the Yad Vashem Directorate Avner Shalev.
Chairman of the Yad Vashem Directorate Avner Shalev:
"The original plans detailing the construction of Auschwitz constitute graphic illustration of the Germans' systematic effort to carry out the 'Final Solution.' We have chosen to display them to the public to illustrate how seemingly conventional activities of ordinary people brought about the construction of the largest murder site of European Jewry."
Afterwards, a panel discussion was held, moderated by Dr. David Silberklang, editor of "Yad Vashem Studies", on the topic "65 Years since the Liberation of Auschwitz." Dr. Daniel Uziel, Director of the Photo Archives at Yad Vashem and the historical consultant for the exhibition, spoke about the building project at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Participating in the panel discussion were Ruth Bondy, born in Prague, survivor of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, Professor Shlomo Avineri and Professor Moshe Halbertal. The symposium was concluded by Ambassador of Cameroon in Israel and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps H.E. Henri Etoundi Essomba.
The exhibition is funded thanks to the generous support of the Greg Rosshandler and Harry Perelberg families, Australia.

The frame is low and light, giving an initial impression much like a 4X bike. The speed is there but dont be fooled. the short chainstays and high bottom bracket make this thing as much of a street and park machine than any other. a steep headtube and long top tube balance the need for a responsive, playful geometry with the need for stability and room for barspins. The frame can handle any abuses and will simply beg for more.
The chain tensioners work great for the most part but they need to be very very tight or they like to slip. this caused some frustration initially but now that the bike is dialed there are no real complaints.
This is simply the best dj frame around. load it up with your favorite components and its a bike that anyone will envy. Tough, reasonably priced, light, clean, absolutely dialed.

'I Still Have No Idea Why I Was Suspended, I Did Nothing,' Says IAS Officer Mohsin on PM Poll Duty, CAT Stays ECI Order
ECI suspends IAS officer without citing a single rule or order
By THE CITIZEN BUREAU
|27 April 2019 11:52 AM GMT
NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: A low profile IAS officer, with 22 years service and not a show case notice against him, has been running from pillar to post ever since the Election Commission of India suspended him for allegedly inspecting the helicopter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Sambalpur in Odisha where he was on election duty. The Bengaluru Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has taken cognizance of his complaint and stayed the order, allowing Mohammad Mohsin to resume his work since yesterday as Secretary in the Backward Classes department in Bengaluru.
Harried, with his voice reflecting the deep tension he is under, Mohsin told TheCitizen that he was in no way responsible for checking the PM's aircraft or luggage. He said he was on duty there as an Election Commissioner, went to the spot, visited the makeshit police control room, sat with the Collector later, and spent just a short time at the spot in what is essentially a supervisory role. "I am not in any way in charge of these searches," he said, "it is not my business."
Till date he does not have a piece of paper from the ECI or any of the concerned authorities as to what rules he had violated, and for what reason he has been suspended. He has written to all concerned including the ECI that has not even bothered to respond. He said he approached the ECI almost sure that when it looked it into the issue it would have found it all to be a big mistake, and would rectify it. But his letters were ignored, and he did not receive a word or a slip of paper citing the order, the section under which the action had been taken.
Mohsin said it was in desperation that he approached CAT as it was going on leave. And the Tribunal stayed the order because of which he has been able to resume his duties. "The suspension order issued by the Election Commission cannot, on the face of it, lie. It is hereby stayed. Applicant will be eligible to re-join his former position under the government of Karnataka without any further ado about it," CAT Member K.B. Suresh stated in the order.
However, the canards do not stop and one of these is the usual, he is close to the Congress party charge. He said that he has had nothing to do with any political party, is not interested in politics, and has just been doing his job. As for this charge --of course part of a smear campaign against the Muslim officer---he said that a Congress minister removed him from his early post as Secretary, Minority Affairs. "So how am I supposed to be close to that party" he asked.
Mohsin said he was groping in complete darkness, "as I have just no idea what I am supposed to have done to warrant this action." He said that his suspension order did not even mention under what rule or clause he had been served the notice. He said he had nothing to do with flight schedules of the VVIP aircraft, or with the search operations on the ground. "I am just an Election Observer with just a supervisory role, to see that all is as per order", he said. In this particular instance he raised no objections, saw the overall work and was out of the place in minutes in what was clearly a perfunctory visit as per procedure.
Sources here said that it could be some other problem involving the district authorities who could have decided to make him the fall guy. However, only an enquiry along with videographic proof will bring out the truth. Asked about this Mohsin was not willing to comment saying, "I have just no idea what happened, and why." on Thursday stayed the suspension of Karnataka cadre IAS officer Mohammed Mohsin by the Election Commission (EC) for inspecting the helicopter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Sambalpur in Odisha on April 16 as an election observer.
"The suspension order issued by the Election Commission cannot, on the face of it, lie. It is hereby stayed. Applicant will be eligible to re-join his former position under the government of Karnataka without any further ado about it," said Tribunal Member K.B. Suresh in the order.
The Election Commission of India had on April 17 suspenden Mohammed Mohsin (IAS) for checking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's helicopter when he was in Odisha to address an election rally. 3-4 days after the suspension, the Election Commission had also transferred him back to Karnataka.
The Election Commission while suspending IAS Mohammed Mohsin said he violated the norms. The 1996 batch Karnataka cadre IAS officer, Mohammed Mohsin, has not acted in conformity with the Election Commission's instructions concerning Special Protection Group or SPG protectees, an order issued by the commission.
"Checking of the prime minister's chopper, undertaken at Sambalpur, was not in accordance with the Election Commission guidelines as SPG protectees are exempt from such checking," said a senior official without elaborating.
The move however was disputed. There are also reports that Mohammed Mohsin IAS did not violate any rule. Reports also said that there is no rule that bars an officer on duty from checking SPG protectees' chopper.

Communication professionals and major phone companies demand data protection in their test equipment. Accidentally clipping onto the wrong pair in a wiring closet or cross-box is the biggest threat to data lines and can interrupt critical data traffic, down a PBX, or down a server. Harris Corporation's new TS44 DLX test set is equipped with new DataSafe Pro Data Protection Technology featuring superior high-impedance monitoring, Data Lockout and Lockout Override, making you completely safe in Talk, Monitor or Override Mode. This intelligent test set will check for normal POTS voltage and the presence of data the moment you clip on the line. Data lockout and override protection will alert the technician to the presence of data and only allow override if normal POTS voltage is detected. New patent-pending filtering technology allows a technician to safely draw dial tone on a live DSL/POTS shared line to test the POTS service while protecting the DSL from downing or disruption. No competing test set is available that can ensure this level of protection; now the industry standard at major phone companies.

Applying for your first non-executive role can be a minefield and it's so easy to become discouraged. I know so many dynamic, brilliant women who have tried and given up applying for board roles or public appointments because they have been rejected one or more times and believe they are not good enough. This is almost certainly not true.

Bottas shows he can handle pressure in winning Austrian GP
By JEROME PUGMIRE - Jul. 05, 2020 02:25 PM EDT
Race winner Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas of Finland celebrates after winning the Austrian Formula One Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring racetrack in Spielberg, Austria, Sunday, July 5, 2020. (Mark Thompson/Pool via AP)
SPIELBERG, Austria (AP) — Valtteri Bottas insisted before the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday that he has what it takes to win the Formula One world championship.
That's a tall order with six-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton as his teammate at Mercedes. Especially as Hamilton needs one more title to equal Michael Schumacher's record of seven.
But Bottas showed impressive composure to win Sunday's race — which had no fans present due to the coronavirus pandemic — with Hamilton just a half-second behind him for spells. Not easy for Bottas when Hamilton's among the best drivers at overtaking in F1 history, and when a chaotic race restarts three times behind a safety car.
"There was definitely quite a bit of pressure. One safety car was OK but by the last I was like, 'Come on — again?'" a relieved Bottas said. "There were so many opportunities for Lewis to take the lead if I made a small mistake and he was really quick today. But I managed to keep it together, could really control the race from my side, and there's obviously no better way to start the season."
Hamilton crossed second but finished fourth after getting a late time penalty.
Bottas kneeled with the winners' trophy and the podium trio — including second-place Charles Leclerc for Ferrari and third-place Lando Norris for McLaren — held up a black T-shirt with "End Racism" written on it.
Nine of 20 drivers abandoned, including both Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon — who tried to overtake Hamilton on the outside with 10 laps left, touched wheels and flew off track.
It was better to be up ahead.
"I dodged a few bullets today," Bottas said after the eighth F1 win of his career.
Hamilton was given a five-second time penalty for causing Albon's crash, having earlier been hit with a three-place grid penalty after an incident in Saturday's qualifying was reviewed by stewards.
"It was just a misjudgment by Lewis at the end of the day and it'd be good if he apologized for it," Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said. "This sport can be pretty brutal sometimes and it feels like today's been one of those days. Alex drove a great race, he didn't deserve that."
The race had looked like a straight fight between the two Mercedes, as has been the case so often in recent years, but late drama in Spielberg ensured otherwise.
"It felt like a victory today. Second place is something I never would have expected," said Leclerc, who started from seventh. "I will rate this as one of my best races, I didn't do many mistakes."
Norris sent McLaren's garage into raptures, and threw social distancing out of the window amid the euphoria as CEO Zak Brown hugged everyone in sight.
His jubilation was understandable.
It was the 20-year-old British driver's first career podium and his superb final lap was the fastest of an exciting opening race. Norris became the youngest British driver to secure a podium finish and the third youngest ever in F1. Only Verstappen and Lance Stroll were younger.
All drivers wore "End Racism" T-shirts before the race, but six drivers did not take the knee: Verstappen, Leclerc, Kimi Raikkonen, Daniil Kvyat, Antonio Giovinazzi and Carlos Sainz Jr.
Hamilton, the only Black driver in F1, wore a T-shirt with Black Lives Matter on the front and End Racism on the back.
Verstappen was chasing a hat trick of wins at the Red Bull Ring, but his race ended early while Sebastian Vettel's miserable form from last season carried over as he finished 10th.
Hamilton's three-place grid penalty pushed Verstappen up to second place on the grid. Norris jumped to third and Albon to fourth.
Bottas made a strong start from pole position while Hamilton took a little while to overtake Norris and Albon, but he was gifted a position as Verstappen crawled to a halt.
Daniel Ricciardo (Renault), Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean (Haas), Stroll (Racing Point), George Russell (Williams), Raikkonen (Alfa Romeo) and Kvyat (AlphaTauri) also abandoned.
When Magnussen went off track after trying to overtake Esteban Ocon's Renault, a first safety car was deployed for two laps — allowing Hamilton to claw back a few seconds on Bottas.
When the race re-started on Lap 30, Bottas got away cleanly.
But moments later Vettel tried to pass Sainz on the outside but misjudged his attack, spinning his car after nudging into the McLaren and losing several positions.
Hamilton lurked right behind Bottas for the next 20 laps but could not find a way past.
The safety car came out a second time on Lap 52 and again after the right tire flew off the front of Raikkonen's car and narrowly missed Vettel's car.
After that restart, Albon made a daring but slightly hasty move on the outside of Hamilton, who appeared to impede him just as he was passing.
F1 stays in Austria next Sunday, then goes to Hungary as part of an eight-race European swing.
The rest of the calendar remains uncertain amid the pandemic. The cancelled Australian GP had originally been scheduled as the opening race of the 2020 season in March.

Kazakhstan, Central Asia
Kazakhstan: Website seeks to put faces to coronavirus tragedy
The president has extended a second lockdown in recognition of the scale of the crisis.

A consortium of news outlets in Kazakhstan has launched a website listing the names of all known coronavirus fatalities in an effort to personalize an unfolding catastrophe that has so far been conveyed to the public only through broad-sweeping statistics.
The July 13 launch of the website, called Umytpa, Kazakh for "do not forget," was timed to coincide with the national day of mourning declared by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
The creators of the website – who comprise the websites The Village Kazakhstan, Vlast, Mediazona Central Asia and Factcheck.kz, RFE/RL's Kazakh service, Radio Azattyk, and a pair of popular YouTube channels – say their goal is to ensure that readers are able to better understand the human toll of the ongoing healthcare crisis.
"We hope that creating this list will help people understand the scale of the epidemic that Kazakhstan … is enduring," a statement on the website reads.
The website is soliciting updates not only from relatives of people who are confirmed as having died with the coronavirus, but also from the families of those listed officially as pneumonia deaths. There are mounting suspicions that the authorities are intentionally excluding pneumonia fatalities from their overall tallies as an attempt to downplay the size of the crisis. The website says its staff will verify the details of submissions before they are published.
The creators of Umytpa contend that official statistics "do not reflect the real picture of what is happening in the country."
"Health authorities have claimed that patients with pneumonia got negative results for coronavirus, but the patients themselves often reported that they did not do the tests. They have ceased to do postmortem tests because these further delay funerals. The official mortality data on COVID-19 only raises more questions," the website notes in its mission statement.
The coronavirus crisis has caught Kazakhstan unprepared.
When the first cases were reported in March, the government reacted by introducing strict lockdown regimes. Through to May 11, when the state of emergency was lifted, people were not permitted to leave their homes except for reasons of absolute necessity, such as to do grocery shopping.
The easing of restrictions has led to a surge in known coronavirus cases, to around 60,000 by July 13, compared to 5,100 on May 11. Another round of lockdowns was instituted on July 5, although critics complain they are too mild to have the required effect.
In recognition of the scale of the problem, Tokayev on July 13 announced that the government would be extending its current lockdown period through to the end of July. The president also said that more money is being earmarked to compensate people for income lost during that period.
"We must bolster the first signs of stabilization, these two weeks will be key. The government will in July pay 42,500 tenge ($100) to those in need," he wrote on his Twitter account.


Take a peek at this gorgeous baby girl! She did so good for her entire photo session and slept through the whole thing (a newborn photographer's absolute dream!) She never made a peep and transitioned from pose to pose like a little doll baby!
Her mama's pose wish list was a beautiful combination of classic neutral colors, vibrant colors and whimsical imagery and a little Christmas imagery too! I LOVE IT! It is so much fun to be able to customize a session to create images that the parents are dreaming of.
We started our session together laying little bit in a big furry teal heart. Adding textural elements to sessions like these (especially newborns) brings such a depth to the collection. The deep hues and whispy fur were in such stark contrast to her dewy fresh skin. Gorgeous! We moved into an equally gorgeous image, the gemmed butterfly. Can you say WOW?! So beautiful.
While the dramatic images are so much fun, there is always a time for simplistic beauty. We placed a sweet little flower crown on her head and laid her on a soft white pillow, draping her in a white swaddling blanket. This image really showcased just how much of an angel baby this darling girl truly is!


The Lumineers will heading out on a short tour in December before the holidays.

South Korea to clone 40 police dogs
The official said it will take about a year to select a breed and make other preparations prior to the cloning procedure. (Yonhap)
By Lee Hyo-sik
Korean police plan to select a superior breed of dogs and have a bio-engineering institute reproduce its clones to use them as K-9 dogs for bomb detection and other police missions.
The National Police Agency (NPA) said Monday that it has set aside 1 billion won ($970,000) in taxpayers' money to finance a cloning project aimed at producing 40 cloned police dogs using domestic technology.
"Korea is the only country in the world that possesses cloning techniques to duplicate dogs. To secure highly-exceptional police dogs, we will select a species, which is suitable for police missions, from a wide range of superb breeds," an NPA official said. "We will then produce its clones."
The official said it will take about a year to select a breed and make other preparations prior to the cloning procedure.
Four local institutions are known to be capable of duplicating dogs: the National Institute of Animal Science, the College of Veterinary Medicine at Seoul National University, and the College of Agriculture & Life Science at Chungnam National University and the Sooam Biotech Research Center.
In May 2010, the Sooam Biotech Research Center, led by cloning expert Hwang Woo-suk, delivered five clones of a dog named "Quinn" to the Jeju Provincial Police Agency. The German shepherd, 5 years old at the time, made headlines during the investigation of a high-profile child murder case that shocked the island in 2007.
The NPA has reportedly contacted Chungnam National University and Sooam for its latest project.
Currently, police have a total of 130 K-9 dogs and use them to detect narcotics and explosives, as well as search missing persons. The dogs are all breeds of German shepherds, Labrador retrievers and Belgian Malinois. But according to the NPA, none of the dogs has shown exceptional talents.
"We are considering buying a proven breed from foreign police forces or obtain its somatic cells to produce the clones," the official said. "Besides the three types of breeds we have, we plan to secure the genes of other varieties."
Following the successful cloning of K-9 dogs, the NPA plans to deliver them to its K-9 dog training center in Daejeon and regional police offices for training, which normally takes four to five months.
Since 2011, the state-run Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency has been implementing a dog cloning project in cooperation with Seoul National University. Over the past few years, the agency has deployed 14 cloned search dogs to its offices across the country to detect illegally-imported agricultural and livestock products.

Lê (黎, někdy jen Le) je třetí nejčastější vietnamské příjmení a podle odhadů ho má přibližně 9,5 % Vietnamců. Slovo lê ve vietnamštině jinak znamená "hruška" (z čínského 梨, mandarínskou výslovností lí), příjmení však má jiný původ: pochází z čínského 黎 (mandarínskou výslovností rovněž lí), které znamená "černý" (ve vietnamštině se však tento výraz jinak než jako příjmení nepoužívá), a historicky se také psalo tímto čínským znakem. Stejným znakem, do vietnamštiny rovněž přepisovaným jako Lê, se píše také název etnika Li, což však s vietnamským příjmením etymologicky nesouvisí – v tomto případě se jedná o čínský přepis jejich endonyma Hlai.

Incense is a tool that is mostly used in religious ceremonies for offerings and purification. Its basic composition is a mixture of aromatic organic materials that release a well-burnt scented smell. Many people use incense as their daily ritual. You can actually make money from selling these fragrant materials anytime. The surprising part is, it is very easy to make them. Read on to learn more about how to make profit by selling incense.
The first thing you need to do is to look for a supplier that provides incense products. You can easily do this by surfing the Internet. As soon as you have chosen your own suppliers, contact them first and inquire about all the things that you need to know about the terms and conditions for wholesalers. It is also crucial that before you finalize your deal you have to make sure you carry out a thorough background check on the company for security purposes.
Once you are done, you can start ordering incense in bulk. Never order in small amounts because you will end up paying more. Store your materials in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
It is now time to create a website. This is an important marketing tool. Make sure you have a name for your business and pictures of all products that you are currently offering. By creating your own site, you can attract customers all over the world.
Sign up on eBay and auction all your items. It is very important that you expand your business as much as possible with all the resources that you have. Your revenue will definitely increase.
Make sure you have a physical store and an office where local customers and businesses can go. It would be a great idea if you include pictures of your store in your website.
Acquire your own business cards. You can attach it to all your deliveries as well. You can also give this out wherever you are, in expos, bazaars and the like. It is a way for you to be recognized by your prospective clients.
Market yourself. Post advertisements online. Place ads in newspapers. Create colorful posters and put them on the walls in your neighborhood or spread them in malls, in front of a church or schools.
Carefully calculate your retail prices. Do not forget to consider your storage expenses, shipping and traveling fees.
Lastly, always be consistent in what you do and be professional at all times. When customers see you like this, they will start to trust you. Soon you will have long-term business relationships.
Selling incense is like putting up any other kind of business. The same work ethic applies. It would be extremely helpful if you research all you need to know about the different types of the product that you are promoting. There are no short cuts in this process, so make sure you are patient. As long as you have followed all these steps and have covered everything, then you are surely on your way to success in no time.

City Council passes moratorium on SRO conversions

Advocates for the preservation of single-room occupancy buildings earned a small victory today as the City Council unanimously passed a moratorium on permits for demolition or conversations.
The ordinance was introduced last month and prohibits the city from issuing permits to renovate SROs into high-value housing for the next six months, preventing a possible spate of development and additional evictions until a long-term preservation ordinance is passed.
"It is good that the city is paying attention to affordable housing options," said Robert Rohdenburg, an SRO resident and an organizer with ONE Northside. "Discrimination and segregation are all part of this issue."
For low-income residents, seniors and people with disabilities, SROs are the only affordable housing options. The number of units has declined rapidly the last three years. According to the Chicago for All Coalition, the city has lost 2,100 units since 2011, and only about 5,000-6,000 units in 73 licensed SROs remain.

Moratorium on SRO conversion while long-term solution is crafted
Low-income residents, seniors and people with disabilities are running out of places to live in Chicago as more and more single-room occupancy buildings are being converted into high-value housing. An SRO preservation ordinance — which has plenty of support, but plenty of details to iron out — was put on hold last month.


The cover artwork for Internet Cleanup 4 (IC4) may be a little OTT - all dark glasses and predatory, evil- eyed figures - but actively securing your interests online is a sensible course of action.
IC4 sets out to serve and protect, eliminating subversive cookies, ousting spyware, sluicing web caches and blocking pop-up ads to ensure a sparklingly clean online experience. We tested it for a while and found it functional if unexciting; the fact is, it doesn't really do much that you can't already do manually in OS X.
Allume has been criticised in the past for charging for small upgrades. IC4 continues in this vein - you have to pay £8 to step up from a previous version of the software.
There's further hoop-jumping when you want to upgrade from the demo to the registered version. When installing IC4, we had to uninstall the demo, find and remove some hidden preference files from that first install, then re-download and install the original file, just to get back to the panel for entering the serial code! It's hardly a smooth process.
It's not all plain sailing once you get into the software, either. Closure of browsers during cache-cleaning, for instance, means users are forced to log out of Mac OS and back in again to activate SpyAlert support.
Function-wise, the app is useful, but hardly revolutionary. It's inherited the cool SpyAlert - which scans your machine for spyware and keystroke and screen-loggers - from IC3, but the IC4 update is effectively just a refreshed list of spyware definitions. It seems wrong that you have to pay for this if you already own IC3. Allume hasn't seen fit to speed it up, either; it still runs too slowly for our liking.
Still, SpyAlert is just one of a series of tools, accessible via IC4's main interface. The others include Internet File Finder, IM Log Cleaner (Instant Messaging Cleaner), Mail Cleaner (for attachments in Mail, Entourage and Eudora) and NetBlockade. The latter is split into three further tools: Network SpyAlert, Scheduler (scripted clean-ups at preset times) and Secure Delete, an AppZapper-type uninstaller, tailored to IC4 search results.
One word of warning: after you sweep your Mac for erroneous files, think about what these files might be before you delete them. It's unreasonable to suggest that people confronted with cached web files named '5BB282Ded01' should know exactly what they're deleting. IC4 doesn't tell you which site the file is associated with, so when presented with 2,145 web files with similar names, you can either delete every file and know you've taken out the bad ones, or remove none and know you've kept the good ones. Neither option is viable: total blockout or total acceptance. Of more value would be a sidebar showing the files we've opted for and those planted remotely.
On a positive note, IM Log and MailCleaner perform their tasks at a good speed. You can delete unwanted attachments in your mail client and, once found, the files can be optioned for deletion or moved to trash by IC4. NetBlockade isn't new, but this upgrade enables you to decide which files to accept from the web and which to avoid. We set it to stop all pop-up windows and went surfing around online newspapers with Firefox set to allow pop-ups. NetBlockade did a grand job of overriding it.
IC4 is a good app for seeing how the internet slips countless files onto your Mac, but not so good at isolating which ones you need to lose.
