Mom Intimates Parents Who Play Grinch Prank on Kids Are Really Just Acting Like Their First Bullies
And a lot of folks agree.
Dec 27, 2022 11:10 AM EST
Over the past couple of weeks this holiday season, you've probably seen at least a few videos of parents or other grown-ups dressing up like the Grinch to bust into children's homes and stage a fake shakedown. Usually these end with the parent or uncle or somebody chasing off the Grinch and nothing actually getting stolen, but you can imagine how this would be a somewhat traumatizing experience, particularly for very small children.
Now there are moms and dads, like @gabzilla_rawr, who are coming forward to say that this is not the way to parent. "I'm his mom, not his first bully," this mom wrote under a video of her son watching the Grinch, not at all traumatized. "My son isn't scared of the Grinch because I'm not a [poop emoji] parent," she wrote.
Totally understood. Why traumatize kids when you don't have to, just for a few holiday laughs? And is it even funny to anybody, really? Besides the few mean-spirited types who see it online and don't even know the kid?
Commenters were fully in agreement with this mom...
"YES!!!! Thank you for hating all those 'funny and cute' grinch videos as well. They make my blood boil"
"I know those videos are so mean! The kids crying and hiding under the table..."
"How did everyone just decide to start buying those costumes and making it a trend?"
"It's always the tiny kids too. Those parents will be in a home when they're older."
"I think as parents we make enough mistakes without intentionally terrorizing our kids! You are 100% right!"
Plenty of parents went on to say that their kids were already scared of the Grinch and they hadn't even presented him as scary, so these poor kids in the videos must have been really terrorized. Hopefully this is a trend that dies out soon, or all of these kids are going to be needing a support group someday.


A Florida man who just bought his own private island for $8 million was arrested Saturday for shoplifting about $300 worth of items from a Kmart.
Days before his shoplifting arrest, Andrew Lippi spent a fortune buying a private island off the coast of Key West to add to his luxury property portfolio but when it came to a few household goods, he was allegedly less enthusiastic to dig into his pockets, The Miami Herald reported.
The 59-year-old, who also owns a 12-bedroom home and rents out a waterfront home on Airbnb for $1,799 a night, was caught out after purchasing several items from a Key West Kmart then switching them out for cheaper items that he returned and then asked for a refund.
According to an arrest report viewed by WPLG, Lippi bought a Keurig coffee machine for about $150 on March 30, then placed a basketball inside the box and returned it a day later. On Thursday he reportedly returned to the store and purchased a Hamilton Beach coffee maker as well as two packs of LED light bulbs for around $105, which he then swapped out for cheaper versions and returned them in resealed boxes.
Lippi also purchased a bed skirt then allegedly placed a pillow case in the packaging before returning it.
When police questioned Lippi, he said he was innocent however, the Miami Herald noted that surveillance footage showed Lippi with a cart containing the bed skirt.
Commenting on the charges, Lippi said the accusations boiled down to a "commercial dispute" which he said was a complicated issue that he did not want to discuss.
"I will say this, that the way it was handled by Key West police and the Monroe County Sheriff's Department was wonderful. Some of the finest people I've ever dealt with who were kind throughout the whole process," he told the Miami Herald.

What Do You Think a Horror Movie-Scented Candle Smells Like?
Written by Stephan Horbelt on December 06, 2018
Still hunting down the perfect holiday gift for your ride-or-die, fellow-Movie Pass-holding, always-up-for-a-great-scary-movie bestie? Well, we say opt for a Halloween vibe. Because for those of us who can't say no to horror movies, All Hallow's Eve would be even better if it happened 12 months each year. And thanks to one of our favorite film distributors, A24, the new Horror candle is the perfect present.
A24 is the distribution company behind some of our favorite films of 2018 — Hereditary, Eighth Grade, Mid90s, How to Talk to Girls at Parties — and last year, too — The Disaster Artist, Lady Bird, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Florida Project, and so on and so on.
But what do they know about candles? Well, funny you should ask.
A24 has released a line of six scented candles, each of which is named after — and smells like? — six different genres of film: Horror, Western, Thriller, Noir, Adventure and Musical.
Naturally, we're throwing our vote behind the Horror candle. (Oh, and please keep that Musical candle as far away from us as possible.)
"Aromatically speaking, the movies have historically been limited to wafts of hot butter, worn velour and failed experiments with Smell-O-Vision," says A24 on the website that sells these candles for $48, along with a set of three smaller genre candles for $120.
The A24 line of genre candles
So what does a Horror candle smell like?
If you guessed Toni Collette watching her husband become engulfed in flames and burned alive before her in the living room (it happens in Hereditary, don't look at me weird), then you'd be wrong. But also maybe right? Not sure.
According to A24, the Horror candle smells of mandarin, clove leaf, cypress, suede and cinnamon bark (not quite burning flesh). The distributor says about the candle, it's "not unsettling … but not settling."
Sold! Sounds like a perfect cuddle candle to us!
Head here to purchase the A24 Horror candle, or the other five genre candles.

At Empire Kitchen & Cocktails, equal time is given to both the American cuisine and to the colorful libations from the bar.
The name is apt. Equal time is given to both the American cuisine and to the colorful libations from the bar. The sophisticated decor uses handsome bottles of liquor as part of the look. The bottles are displayed like jewelry on shelves along mirrored walls in the stylish room, where seating is at the spacious white marble-topped bar and at tables indoors and on the covered patio.
The patio and its view of the lively street scene just north of the Little Caesars Arena is the preferred location currently, and it's easy to see why. The Brush Park neighborhood is a hot spot.
Chef Aaron Lowen has come up with an eclectic American menu, ranging from the obligatory burger made with 8 ounces of a house blend to seared salmon and one prime steak at the top of a wide price range. It is completely a la carte, from its sides of mac and cheese and crisp, salty fries -- a good choice with pre-dinner drinks -– and follows no particular theme, but is completely free-form.
Service by the staff wrapped in long aprons over jeans and black shirts is knowledgeable and courteous and their chic look adds to the setting. You don't have to dress up, but a put- together look is called for.
Recommended dishes include an interesting chicken sandwich with pimiento cheese, pickles and shredded lettuce sparking what can often be a bland flavor profile, and at $16 including fries, it is an especially appealing choice. There is also roasted half- chicken.
Other dishes sampled at our table included pan-seared and nicely moist salmon atop quinoa with a border of asparagus spears and cherry tomatoes, and Marsala-mushroom sauced pasta with a sprinkling of Parmesan that had one of our party almost scraping the bottom of the bowl.
For dessert, the pull-apart cinnamon-y monkey bread was plenty for three to share. Chef Lowen also turns out crème brulee.
Menus are seldom set in stone, of course, and the chef will be making changes from time to time.
The proprietors -– businessmen Michael Abrams, Brian Adelman and David Pittaway -– wisely turned the on-site management over to the chef, who is the operating partner.

Aussies to face harsh new job reality
by Charis Chang
10th Jun 2020 4:51 AM | Updated: 11th Jun 2020 11:19 AM
Hundreds of thousands of Australians who lost their jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic have so far been shielded from experiencing what it's really like to be unemployed but that is set to change.
The Morrison government has begun winding back some of the exemptions it brought in after the outbreak to cushion many from the harsher aspects of Australia's unemployment system, and this month it is reviewing many of its programs, which could have consequences for those who don't "snap back" into employment.
The changes will impact more than 1.5 million Australians who are now unemployed and relying on JobSeeker payments, which were brought in to replace the old Newstart allowance.
Previously, there were just 686,785 people receiving Newstart in June 2019. It's been estimated that about half of these Australians were living in poverty.
Now that the coronavirus pandemic has caused widespread job losses, there are concerns more will be forced to live under financial pressure and the stress of having to look for jobs during a recession.
Last month Prime Minister Scott Morrison revealed 900,000 JobSeeker claims had been processed in just six weeks and there were now more than 1.5 million on the payment.
As restrictions slowly ease, these people will increasingly be expected to interact with Australia's unemployment system in order to keep their payments.
This week, those on the JobSeeker payment will start having to undertake "mutual obligation" requirements, a feature of the previously criticised Newstart payment.
It means they must attend at least one appointment with their employment services provider either online or over the phone to talk about training, upskilling or employment.
The change does not bring these obligations back in line with requirements before the pandemic and there are calls for the government not to reinstate the previous harsh system.
Australians have been shocked by images of queues of unemployed outside Centrelink. Picture: Dan Peled/AAP
SYSTEM WAS 'NOT WORKING'
"Under the compliance system before COVID-19, people had to search for 20 jobs a month, participate in Work for the Dole and attend regular appointments with employment service providers under pain of losing their next payment," Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) chief executive officer Dr Cassandra Goldie said.
"Payments were automatically suspended on the same day if someone didn't attend a provider appointment regardless of the reason, and people had to contact their provider to get payments reinstated. In many cases, people weren't even aware of the appointment.
"This system was harsh, and caused a great deal of anxiety for people."
A Senate inquiry into Newstart, which began its investigations before the coronavirus pandemic and delivered its report in April, also found the mutual obligations requirements were "not working" and not leading to positive employment or education outcomes for many people.
"Instead, evidence received by the committee suggests that the system has become increasingly complex, punitive, inadequate and ineffective in getting people into work," the committee's report said.
"Accounts of people having to apply for jobs that do not match their skills or people having to attend training for qualifications that will not lead to employment are far too common.
"The system itself appears to have become a significant barrier to work."
As Dr Arthur Chesterfield-Evans, a medical doctor and retired member of the NSW Legislative Council, told the Senate inquiry, "Those who chronically cannot find work remain on Newstart and the demeaning effect of continually applying for jobs that do not exist must demoralise even the most resourceful person."
The Senate inquiry also found that previous levels of Newstart payments, which provided people about $270 a week to live on, were inadequate and that some people were living below the poverty line.
When the Morrison government introduced the JobSeeker payment in response to the pandemic, it effectively doubled the amount of money provided to those who were unemployed.
Many are now worried that payments will be wound back to their previous rate.
"We can never go back to the brutality of trying to survive on $40 a day," Dr Goldie said.
"We need a secure safety net that protects us all from poverty."
More than one million people are now unemployed and ACOSS believes they shouldn't have to live in poverty. Picture: Dan Peled/AAP
'YOU GET A TIGHT KNOT IN YOUR STOMACH'
Dr Goldie said the ongoing JobSeeker payment must ensure everyone could keep a roof overhead, food on the table and the lights on.
"Our social security system must protect people from poverty. People must to be able to meet their basic needs including housing, food, utilities, and medical costs, and families must have enough to care for their children," she said.
Jessica*, who has not had full-time work for eight years, told news.com.au that getting an extra $250 a week, along with the Morrison Government's $750 cash payment meant she's been able to get her wood heater repaired, her toilet fixed and is saving for a new car engine.
The 65-year-old who lives in Gippsland, just outside of Melbourne, used to work as a community campaigner at a not-for-profit organisation and in the building industry before having her hours dramatically cut during the 2007 global financial crisis.
"I was still doing a few hours but then it went practically to nothing," she said.
Although she has applied for many jobs since then, including for work as a receptionist, a park ranger or even working in a library, she has only been able to secure a few hours of work per week of caring and cleaning.
This is also not ideal because she has osteoarthritis and so can't do more than a couple of hours at a stretch.
"I think it's to do with age really," she said. "I've applied to be a receptionist for a local community health centre and other jobs like that but a lot of people go for those," she said.
She instead had to adapt to living on Newstart over the long term, and find ways to pay for those extra bills that she doesn't have spare money for.
"It's very hard because I do have a mortgage to pay, then there's rates and of course services plus maintenance on my house," she said.
"Of course I'm lucky to have a roof over my head."
She is also lucky that her mortgage payments are only $160 a week so that leaves about $100 of her Newstart payment for everything else she had to pay for.
"You scrape by and if you have got a big bill, you negotiate to pay that in small amounts, You are constantly juggling that small amount of money."
In the past she has got food parcels from the Salvation Army and taken food from other volunteers at her local community garden.
Jessica said she had got very good at "minute budgeting".
"You remember the prices for everything when you are on a tight budget," she said.
"You know exactly how much the washing detergent costs, and that it's $1.50 for two litres for the cheapest brand.
"You get a tight knot in your stomach if you go shopping or get a bill in the mail or online," she said. "The best way is to keep away from the shopping centre I've found."
Her tight budget means that she doesn't have money for anything out of the ordinary.
This includes finding $170 to get her wood heater fixed. She said the piece of metal that stopped the fire from going up the chimney had warped and needed to be replaced but she couldn't afford it until her payments were increased.
"I used it but it was probably unsafe," she said. "I have other heaters but I don't use them because of bad electricity bills."
She also had to live with a broken toilet that dripped. She used a bowl to collect the water that would otherwise have fallen on the ground.
The motor on her car broke recently and she's now saving for it to be replaced.
"Otherwise I won't have a vehicle, which will restrict the kind of work I can do."
Jessica believes unemployment payments should be increased so people don't have to live below the poverty line and this would actually help people to find jobs as they wouldn't be obsessing over what they were going to eat or how they were going to pay for their electricity bill.
"It acts as an incentive, once you pay off things you need and get food, you can actually get to work and take control of your life because you are not worrying about what bill to pay, or how to get heating in your house," she said.
"Your daily needs of shelter, food, heat - those have to be covered before you are resilient enough to go out and look for work.
"For example my volunteer work could turn into a paid job but you need extra time and enthusiasm to get something like that going.
"If someone's phone is cut off that means they can't chase up (opportunities), if the internet is cut off, you can't get online and if the car is cut off, you can't go to an interview."
She said she had a friend who would be spending his $750 one-off payment to pay for a course to be a forklift driver.
"He's actively looking for opportunities but often those opportunities are stymied by the lack of those daily necessities."

As part of the third day of the First International Theater Festival of Performances for the Whole Family "TOGETHER" on May 17, two shows of the play "What happened to the crocodile" of the Kemerovo Theater for Children and Youth took place on the stage of the regional Palace of Creativity for children and youth.
"Paper Tale" about how good can change the world, artists create together with their small viewers. The production is the winner of the Russian National Theater Award "Harlequin" (St. Petersburg).
"The play "What happened to the crocodile" is one of our theater's favorite performances and, probably, the most titled. The production is a participant in many festivals in Russia and abroad, it has received many awards. We are very pleased to be invited to Ulyanovsk. This is a very good festival, harmonious, well-organized and interesting. It is important that we can not only show our performance, but also watch the performances of other theaters, which gives impetus to imagination, fantasy and new creative ideas," said the director of the Kemerovo Theater for Children and Youth, Grigory Zabavin.
The audience watched the production with pleasure, no one was indifferent, neither adults nor children. "There are wonderful spectators in Ulyanovsk. We have been to many places with this performance, and we were pleased that today the children had the maximum inclusion in all the action that took place on the stage. This gives a huge boost of energy. In our performance, viewers are direct participants in the production and today they have helped us a lot, " said the actor of the Kemerovo Theater for Children and Youth, Maxim Golubtsov.
On the stage of the regional library for children and youth named after S.T.Aksakov have been already two shows of the performance "The Happiest Octopus" of the Ruslan Wolfson Theater. Participants in the interactive production were able to see the underwater world through a specially patented device - Wolfsovisor. This is a magical television that anything can get into. This is a live animation created in real time by the actor - narrator Ruslan Wolfson and the audience.
At the end of the day, the festival guests were able to watch the production of "Father is always right" based on the tale of H.-C. Andersen directed by the CREDO Theater (Bulgaria, Sofia) on the stage of the Ulyanovsk NEBOLSHOGO THEATER.
A touching story tells us about the true value of the simplest things in life. The performance reminds us that only love makes life truly beautiful.
Since the first show, the production has been played more than 180 times, participated in programs of more than 50 international theater festivals, and won 7 international awards.
"We love to play in Russian, the Russian audience is always and everywhere wonderful, it is perhaps the most theatrical audience in the world. I want to thank the festival and all its organizers. There are a wonderful place and wonderful people. We would like to wish the festival longevity. I am personally proud that we will participate in the first festival TOGETHER," said Nina Dimitrova, the founder, director and actress of the Creed Theater.
The Ulyanovsk audience enthusiastically and warmly accept all the performances of the festival program.

New Wimbledon champion Simona Halep
Simona Halep acknowledged she has never played better than she did in the Wimbledon final as the former world number one dismantled Serena Williams for her second major title.
The Romanian produced a breathtaking performance to blow away 23-time grand slam champion Williams on Saturday, running out a 6-2 6-2 winner at the All England Club.
Halep, the 2018 French Open champion, won the first four games of the match, breaking her esteemed opponent twice, and scarcely letting her level drop in a stylish, breathless display.
She collected the congratulations of Williams afterwards and then herself heralded "the best match" of her career while thanking Serena for her inspiration.
Asked if she had ever played better, Halep said: "Never. It was the best match. Serena inspired that, so thank you for that.
"I have worked a lot for this moment, it was an honour to play in front of the Royal Box. I have no words to explain. I feel great.
Etched into #Wimbledon history...#Wimbledon | @Simona_Halep pic.twitter.com/xJlMsSQBix
"I had nerves. My stomach was not very well before the match. I knew there was no time for emotions. I just came on court and gave my best."
And Halep revealed the meaning of the moment she was crowned champion.
"[It feels] unbelievable. It's something very special. I'll never forget this day," she said. "It was my mum's dream.
"When I was about 10, 12, she said if I want to do something in tennis, I have to play the final of Wimbledon. The day came. Thanks to my parents."
The new women's champion also revelled in her new status as an All England Club member, seeing her name on the honours board and then preparing to meet Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
"At the beginning of the tournament, I told the people at the locker room, it would be amazing because, if I win, I will get membership for life," she said. "Here I am.
With Royal approval #Wimbledon | @Simona_Halep pic.twitter.com/65TDUbkL4b
"It was one of my motivations before this tournament. Now I am happy.
"[Meeting the royal family] is amazing. I didn't know that. It's even more special now. Thank you for coming, everyone from the royal family.
"It's been an honour to play here and to win my second grand slam."

A concert and reception was held as part of the festivities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Dragonara Casino, St Julian's.
The Dragonara Casino opened its doors on July 15, 1964, in what was considered as one of the first major projects to establish Malta as a tourist destination. Dragonara Gaming Ltd, a fully-owned Maltese company, took over the helm of the casino in June 2010.
Since 2010 the company has invested over €15 million in refurbishment works and product upgrades. The Dragonara Casino attracts over 1,000 patrons a day, enjoys a 50 per cent market share and has a staff complement of 200.
Schembri unveiled a new investment programme which will see the company invest in a multi-million-euro extension, development and restoration of the Dragonara peninsula. The plan includes the restoration of the palace, the surrounding fortifications and main gate, the embellishment and landscaping of the surrounding grounds including the main avenue, and the reconstruction of some architectural features that have been lost over the years.
The project will involve the reconstruction of the building at the northern tip of the peninsula known as Dragonara Point. This will accommodate an international poker venue capable of attracting international renowned brands to Malta, a casino extension aimed to develop the private gaming niche and a Sports book.
There will be private suites for international high rollers and a club run by a top international franchise. An underground facility of 250 parking slots will complement the project.
Economy minister Chris Cardona said the new investment project planned is a declaration of confidence in Malta, its people, its business potential and future success.
"Establishments such as the Dragonara Casino and others operating in the tourism sector have a very important role in enhancing the economic growth and economic stability of our country," said Cardona. At the end of the event he unveiled the restored statute of the Marquis Emmanuele Scicluna (1820-1886), a symbolic gesture to mark a new era for the Dragonara Casino, wherein the historic value of the past is intertwined with the prospects of the future.


ARTHUR COREY was christened in Harpole, near Northampton, on 5 Jan 1755. He was the second child, and the first son, of the four children of John Cory and Elizabeth Butlin née Chater. His father is thought to have been a schoolmaster.
Arthur left Northamptonshire for Buckinghamshire, moving to Milton Keynes, south of Newport Pagnell. The new town created in the 20th century was centred on this ancient village. There do not seem to be any further records of his immediate family in Harpole, so it is possible that his parents moved too. Teaching was a profession which offered mobility.
ELIZABETH WANSTALL. In the 18th century, the Wanstall surname was almost exclusively confined to Kent. There were also a handful of them in Buckinghamshire, concentrated in and around Eton. Elizabeth may have been born into this branch, or moved from Kent to join relatives.
An earlier ancestor was Simon Wastell, who married Elizabeth Harris in 1662 in Harpole, Northamptonshire. Harpole is the breeding ground of the Corys and there were many Harrises there too. Simon Wastell was born in 1639 in Lillingstone Dayrell, Buckinghamshire, near Milton Keynes. He is probably the same Simon Wastell who married Ann Bent in 1672 in Leicester. The link between Harpole and Milton Keynes is encouraging.
In Leicestershire the spelling is usually Worstall.
5 May 1752 Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Wanstall and Ann Gardner.
Bekesbourne is a village SW of Canterbury. Unlike other baptisms for girls called Elizabeth Wanstall around that time, this one is not followed by a marriage in the same parish, so this Elizabeth could have moved to Bucks.
They were born at a time of British expansion overseas. Britain and France were competing for territory in North America. 1759 saw the capture of Quebec. In India, attempts to enforce British rule resulted in 1757 in the Black Hole of Calcutta, when many prisoners were stifled in an overcrowded prison.
They lived almost all their lives in the long reign of George III, 1760-1820. Despite his later bouts of madness, he was a popular king, known as 'Farmer George'.
Arthur and Elizabeth married in Milton Keynes on 17 May 1781. They lived there for the rest of their lives.
They had eight children, two of whom died in infancy.
Thomas's baptism is not known, but he died in 1789.
1794 9 Mar Sarah. She died before she was five.
The year the second Sarah was born, Arthur died. He was only 46. He was buried in Milton Keynes on 1 Jan 1802.
Elizabeth was left to bring up her young family alone. She did not remarry. She survived Arthur for 39 years and was buried in Milton Keynes on 5 Jan 1841.
Their son John remained in Buckinghamshire, marrying Ann Spenser in Milton Keynes in 1806. Two years after her death, in 1860, he died in the workhouse at Newport Pagnell, four miles north of Milton Keynes.
Richard was the most adventurous of the family. He may have been offered a job in Kent by Lord Carrington, who owned land in and around Newport Pagnell and was also Captain of Deal Castle. Richard moved to Deal as a young man, working first as a licensed victualler, but spending most of his life as a gardener, possibly at Deal Castle. He married twice in Deal and raised a large family. He died there in 1871.
Elizabeth married Daniel Boys in Milton Keynes in 1813.
Mary was married in Milton Keynes in 1811 to John Conquest of Great Linford, two miles away.
Susanna married Thomas Markham in Milton Keynes in 1824. She had eight children and died at 73 in Little Woolstone, only a mile from Milton Keynes.
The second Sarah married another local man, William Holloway, in Milton Keynes in1824.
 Unless otherwise stated, information on the Corys of Harpole comes from Marilyn Cory.


I am sorry if I wronged you in any way this year.
I am really sorry if I did so and didn't apologize for it - I can be insensitive and hope that if I missed the mark with you that you will forgive me anyway.
Please don't hesitate to come to me with my mistakes.
I will do my best to make amends.
In turning, I will also do my best to be forgiving to everyone.

President Message January 2022
JANUARY 2022 PRESIDENT WEBSITE MESSAGE
In this brand new year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all MBAM Members a great New Year ahead. Thank you so much for supporting us in 2021 and we are looking forward to serving you better in 2022!
This past year has been one for the books and let us recap on some of the highlights for year 2021. Early last year, the nation went into the state of Movement Control Order (MCO) for the second time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. Since mid-January 2021, we went through various lockdown orders up until end June 2021 and the Malaysian construction industry was impacted with total stop work order for most of the period and faced low productivity rate. On 16 August 2021, construction industry was allowed to resume operations but capacity was based on workers' vaccination rate. As we moved along, restrictions were eased and most industries including construction were recommencing works in full capacity toward the end of 2021.
Budget 2022: What was in it for Construction?
MBAM thanked the Government for some of the construction projects announced during the Budget 2022 Tabulated on 29 October 2021. Most of the projects announced are the smaller scale projects to enhance the infrastructure for public use. These small projects would benefit part of the industry players mainly in the G1 to G4 categories of contractors.
Besides that, there are also some continuation of some existing projects such as the continuation of implementation of national infrastructure development projects worth RM 3.5 billion including the construction of the Pan Borneo Highway and Central Spine Road, and allocation of RM 2.9 billion for continuation of small and medium sized projects for G1 to G4 contractors nationwide for road maintenance projects, repair of obsolete infrastructure and equipment of public universities, polytechnics and community colleges as well as other projects involving social amenities in rural areas.
Government to Intervene in Managing the Increase of Building Materials Prices
With the uptrend of building materials prices in the last quarter of 2021, MBAM together with six other Associations in the building and construction industry jointly issued a press statement to address some of industry players' concerns and provided proposals to the Government in managing the increase of building materials prices.
Extension of COVID Act 829 (Part II)
Part II (Inability to Perform Contractual Obligations) of the Temporary Measures for Reducing the Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Act (Covid-19) (Act 829), which ended on 31 December 2021, has been extended until October 2022. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Parliament and Law) Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said this is pursuant to Subsection 5 (2) of Act 829, where a minister may by order published in the gazette extend the effective period of Part II, but the extension shall not exceed the effective period of Act 829. Wan Junaidi in a statement on 30 December 2021 said the extension was approved by the Cabinet on 22 December 2021. However, there is still no mention of cost sharing and specific treatment of Extension of Time (EOT). MBAM hopes this can be addressed soon.
Lastly, we have some exciting plans in the works for year 2022 and we look forward for your continuous support. Whatever the New Year has in store, we will be in it together. Cheers to more shared successes in the New Year!
Tan Sri Sufri Hj Mhd Zin PSM, SSAP, DPTJ
President, MBAM

What is Localization?
Home / What is Localization?
Are translation and localization the same thing? Not exactly.
It's back-to-school season, so Lingotek is offering a few lessons on the basics of translation with our educational blog series, Translation 101. In this series, we will be addressing and answering the most common questions our customers have about translation terminology, products and services.
What is localization? How is it different from translation?
The number one search query in our industry is, "What is localization?" Most people are familiar with the term "translation," but are less familiar with the word, "localization." You may also see it written as "L10n" because 1) it has ten letters, and 2) it's a little faster than taking the time to spell it out.
Localization is translation plus.
There is an important distinction between translation and localization, especially when it comes to hiring a translation vendor. Language services providers (LSP) like to say they offer localization services because it's a broader term for what we do. Localization is translation plus.
Translation and Localization Defined
Translation describes the process of taking a word in one language and translating it into another language so that it maintains the exact same meaning.
Localization is more than a word-for-word translation. It's a very important and comprehensive approach that considers the expectations and norms for the target locale.
Locale refers to where the language is spoken. This is important because the same language may be spoken in different countries. Think of the difference between English in the US versus English in the UK or French spoken in France versus French Canadian spoken in Canada. They are the same languages but used in different locales, so when localizing, any cultural or regional differences will be taken into account.
Localization includes:
Spelling changes (Changing a US -z for a UK -s, for example)
Numerical differences (Units of measure and how dates and time are displayed.)
Page sizes (US 8.5" x 11" vs European A4)
Currency ($, ¥, €, etc.)
Text width, direction and length (Some languages have wider characters, and may be written horizontally, right to left, or left to right)
Images or colors (It is very important to respect any cultural taboos or norms when it comes to the images and colors contained in your content. For example, some countries may object to photographs of women, in Russia it is not common to show smiling faces, and in Japan white is the color of mourning.)
Global Content Needs Both Translation and Localization
For organizations that are new to translation or even for those who have been translating their content for a long time, knowing the difference between translation and localization is very important.
Translation alone is not enough if you want to offer global content that inspires trust and confidence in your organization.
Translation alone is not enough if you want to offer global teams, customers, and prospects multilingual content that is meaningful and communicated in such a way that inspires trust and confidence in your organization.
Global companies cannot afford to make a cultural misstep that can lead to lasting damage their carefully crafted brand reputation or messaging.
Lingotek Offers a Wide Variety of Translation and Localization Services
With a full range of language services, Lingotek helps clients succeed in the global marketplace by localizing their global content into any language. We have a network of over 5,000 + linguists who are the best in the industry. They are native speakers of target languages and recognized experts in their subject areas. Our people, processes, and technology ensure that all of your localized content is functionally, linguistically, and culturally flawless.

Website Localization to simplify the process of creating and maintaining global websites.
Software Localization to ensure every global app and web property contains the latest code.
Localization Engineering to identify formatting issues and TM alignment.

In-Context Verification & Validation with the industry's only real time, in-context review.
International SEO Optimization to make sure your keywords are relevant for a global audience.

Multimedia Localization of audio, video, e-learning, gaming and more.
Quality Services to create, manage and report on quality with large-scale LQE monitoring.

the mind, the heart and the senses."
Stress has been found to affect babies and mothers adversely. It releases hormones such as noradrenaline and cortisol, which contract the blood vessels, raise blood pressure, depress the immune system and several other side effects (Odent, Birth Reborn, pg. 85). Therefore, it is important to release stress on a regular basis to offset any negative outcome. We offer several approaches in the release of stress.
Bonding through music is a very special and profound experience for the parents and baby. The language of music is non-verbal, easily accessible to everyone regardless of education, race, age, etc. Parents can directly convey their feelings of love through their chosen music. Being loved and wanted, forms our first intimate relationship with another being, one on which all other relationships will be based in the future. Therefore, it is very important that this first exchange be as positive as possible.
The vibrations of the instruments used can be felt directly on the body because sound waves travel through matter, which includes our physical bodies. The choice of instruments as well as pitch level and intensity each has an impact on mother and baby in the womb. Stories of mothers having to leave a rock concert because of the intensity of the bands are well known. Melodies are expressive of our emotions and carry this energy to the baby. Lullabies, traditional as well as newly composed, in addition to the womb-song, are personal musical expressions of love from the parents to their babies. These are remembered for a lifetime and form a soothing element when the baby is in distress, particularly effective after the first few weeks after birth to comfort the baby who has colic or cries a lot. The development of memory before birth allows the music to function as a unique bridge from the intrauterine environment to the adjustment of life outside the womb.
Perinatal support after the baby's birth is a continuum to the prenatal enrichment and bonding curriculum the baby has received in the womb. The relaxation music will continue to promote good sleeping patterns and have a calming effect on the baby.
Creativity leads to self-discovery and self-empowerment. According to Abraham Maslow, "It is during the creative experience, when the generally unused intuitive and non-intellectual parts of our selves are exercised, that our selves are most integrated." What we imagine we can create. Therefore, creativity, imagination and intuition are needed for a balanced and healthy human life, especially during pregnancy, birth and parenthood. Intuition is a faculty that gives us access to our innate knowing and enables us to communicate with our unborn children. All these qualities are present when we improvise music for our babies and ourselves.

2I/Borisov, originalmente denominado C/2019 Q4 (Borisov), é o primeiro cometa interestelar observado e o segundo objeto interestelar observado depois do 1I/ʻOumuamua. O cometa passou pelo periélio no dia 7 de dezembro de 2019.

Descoberta
O objeto foi descoberto em 30 de agosto de 2019 pelo astrônomo amador Gennady Borisov com um telescópio de 65 centímetros de abertura, construído por ele mesmo. Por apresentar uma órbita hiperbólica, ele passará uma única vez pelo Sistema Solar.

Trajetória
O cometa está viajando em direção ao Sol e fará sua aproximação mais próxima do Sol em 8 de dezembro, quando estará duas vezes mais longe do Sol que a Terra. Também segue um caminho hiperbólico ao redor do Sol e viaja à velocidade de mais de 175.000 quilômetros por hora.  Borisov é um dos cometas mais rápidos já vistos.

Em meados de 2020, o cometa estará de volta ao espaço interestelar, onde flutuará por milhões de anos antes de talvez um dia se aproximar de outro sistema estelar.

Lara Spencer Married To Rick McVey! Meet Millionaire 'Second' Husband
Good Morning America host Lara Spencer just had the ?biggest day? of her life!
Lara Spencer and her tech entrepreneur-fiance Rick McVey exchanged the sacred wedding vows this Saturday i.e., on 8 August 2018 in an outdoor ceremony in Vail, Colorado in front of 135 friends and family members.
Lara, who walked down the aisle for the second time, wore an Adam Zohar?s Bridal mermaid-designed gown, kept her hair up with loose pieces dangling in front with a long white veil flowing from the back. Her 16 aged son, Duff Haffenreffer accompanied down the aisle as Rick awaited to the end of the aisle.
The groom also stunned the ceremony with the cream blazer, black pants, and a matching bowtie. While she was walking the aisle with her son, Christina Perri?s, A Thousand Years soothed the wedding?s environment.

Also, the attendee People?s Editor-in-chief Jess Cagle shared a video of the TV host?s special moment to his Instagram, where the blonde beauty was walking down the aisle with her son.
Before rushing to the altar, the newly married couple were friends for years. The couple first met each other on a blind date which was arranged by their mutual friend and was reportedly dating since earlier 2017.
She got engaged to her then-boyfriend Rick in January 2018 after he popped the question. This is the second marriage for both of the couple.
Lara was previously wed to the real estate broker and former reporter David Haffenreffer, with whom she shares two teenage children: daughter Katharine and son Duff. After 15 years of married relationship, Spencer announced in March 2015 that she and Haffenreffer were amicably divorcing.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at MarketAxess, Rick is also divorced and fathered the three grown daughters. Lara shares the good bond with her husband?s children and Rick too has an intimate bonding with Lara?s kids.
On their happiest day, their five children; Rick?s three and Lara?s two children gave lovely readings at the ceremony.
More About Lara Spencer?s Husband
Born on 2 July 1960 in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, Rick is the son of the oil distributor father who invested in stocks as a hobby. Lara?s second husband Rick graduated in MBA from the Indiana University Bloomington in 1983 and began his career as a trader in Cleveland bank.
Then the tech entrepreneur moved to Chicago Mercantile Exchange before joining JP Morgan in New York. After visualizing the well-occupied market to use electronic trading to take market share from the top banks, he launched Market Axess in 2000 only with two employees.
He is the chairman, founder, and CEO of the publicly traded and successful financial technology company, MarketAxess. For his tremendous work, he was honored with the ?Ernst & Young National Entrepreneur of the Year? for financial services in 2012 for his work in Market Axess.
The newlywed Rick is the tech entrepreneur and summons the majority part of his net worth from his business. Along with his millions dollar figured net worth, his wife, Lara also accumulated the $6 million net worth as a television personality.

Model Goes Missing in the Mojave Desert: The Story of April Beth Pitzer


We take a hands-on look at Sprint's latest EVO.
Sprint today announced the HTC EVO 4G LTE, one of the first smartphones to support the carrier's LTE network, as well as the first LTE device to sport the EVO brand. We got to take a hands-on look at it.
It came as a bit of a shock that this phone isn't the HTC One X we heard about back at MWC, but the EVO 4G LTE isn't entirely dissimilar. It's the sixth EVO device for Sprint, and in many ways it feels like a follow up to the first, most popular device in the line, the HTC EVO 4G. But plenty of time has passed since then, and the EVO 4G LTE is bigger and better than the EVO 4G in every way—starting with its name.
Note that this is the EVO 4G LTE. While we've already had plenty of experience with LTE devices from AT&T and Verizon, Sprint is currently in the transition from WiMAX to 4G LTE, and the EVO 4G LTE will be one of the first devices to tap into that network. LTE brings better signal strength, faster data speeds, expanded coverage, and better in-building performance.
The next thing you'll notice about the phone is that it's big. But it's also surprisingly thin and light at 5.3 by 2.7 by 0.35 inches (HWD) and 4.7 ounces. It isn't Droid Razr-thin, but the EVO 4G LTE looks svelte and elegant. Though I was unable to hold the phone in one hand and use my thumb to swipe down the notifications bar, it still felt more comfortable and natural to hold than many of the other hand busters out there. It's a big change from all of the bulky devices we saw from HTC last year.
Most of the phone's size is dedicated to a 4.7-inch, 1280-by-720-pixel super LCD. It looks sharp, gorgeous, and incredibly bright. Even after turning the brightness down more than halfway, I had a hard time snapping shots because the difference in the brightness of the screen and its surrounding was so great. But it looks gorgeous in person, and should be great for browsing the Web and watching videos.
The phone is powered by a 1.5-GHz, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. I didn't get a chance to run any benchmarks on it, but navigating my way around the UI felt incredibly fast and fluid. We were able to test the chipset itself back in February, and found it to be faster than anything else currently available.
Special attention should be paid to EVO 4G LTE's 8-megapixel camera with ImageSense. Simply put, it's ridiculously fast. Holding down the phone's camera button for the amount of time it would take to snap a single photo on most other phones resulted in snapping three separate photos. It'll be hard to miss out on grabbing a photo at exactly the right moment. There's also the requisite 1.3-megapixel, front-facing camera for self portraits and video chat.
The EVO 4G LTE runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with HTC's Sense 4 UI overlay, which is used a bit more sparingly than it has been on previous versions of Android. HTC's attractive widgets, including its clock widget, are still available, and some UI elements are improved. It looks just like the recently released version of Android 4.0 for the HTC Vivid. This is a good thing if you really like the look on previous HTC phones, but it's a little disappointing if you were hoping for a greater visual redesign.
The phone comes with Beats Audio software inside, though headphones must be purchased separately. And to drive home the fact it's built for major multimedia consumption, there's a kickstand on the back, so you can watch content with the phone propped up on your desk. There's also 16GB of internal storage, along with a microSD card slot. That was a surprise, because the phone is so thin and well built I didn't see where a card slot would even fit. (It's underneath the back cover on the top of the phone, which you can see in the slideshow above.) There's also a 2000mAh battery, which should provide plenty of battery life. And the EVO is the first phone to support "HD Voice," a higher-quality encoder for phone calls, which should make for stellar voice calls.
The HTC EVO 4G LTE will be available for presale on May 7 for $199.99, but a release date has not yet been announced. Hopefully more release information will become available before May 7.
We're excited to get our hands on the EVO 4G LTE and put it through its paces for a full review. Check back with PCMag as soon as the phone is available to see what we think.

Accordingly, starting with the Intel 5 Series , a new architecture was used where some functions of the north and south bridge chips were moved to the CPU, and others were consolidated into a Platform Controller Hub PCH.

How to Sound Like a Football Expert at Your Super Bowl Party
Football season. It strikes fear in the heart of many women. Can you keep up with the convo? How can you keep yourself engaged? Will you see your spouse at all before February? It's better to join 'em than beat 'em in this case. Here are some tips to help you not only fit in, but look like a football pro! Maybe you'll even grow to like the sport as you learn how to talk football with the guys.
1. Learn Some of the Legends Behind Team Grudges
Okay, if you can nail this one you are so in, but be warned - it'll take some research. Learn about the divisions both teams are playing in and break out your knowledge on that conference's long-standing team grudges. These mythical stories trace back to decades ago (even half a century in some cases).
8 Tricks to Make You Sound Like a Wine Expert
Super Bowl Party Ideas
Super Bowl Cake Ideas
An example is the Minnesota Vikings, The Chicago Bears, and the Green Bay Packers - they hate each other. Why? Because the NFC North is known to be a 'take no prisoners' conference. You can't be a fan of one of these teams and EVER support one of the others. This is sacrilege and will lead to your excommunication from the game. The good news is, these guys will never play each other during the Super Bowl because they'll be knocking each other out during the quarter and semi-finals. Just don't pull a, "I just really love Aaron Rodgers" if the Vikings are in the big game and the crowd is rooting for them - ever. These are battle words.
2. Get in on the Anger
According to all football fanatics, every coach screws the pooch every single season if their team isn't winning (I am also guilty of this). If you learn some of the pinheaded decisions everyone is rallying against, you'll score some major points and be in on the banter. Warning: you might be asked for your opinion if you get into this conversation too deep, so be careful (spoiler alert, football fans are always angry about something).
For instance, Chip Kelly made a few boneheaded trades a while back that got the die-hard fans all riled up (Byron Maxwell and DeMarco Murray…really Chip?) Not only did the Philadelphia Eagles struggle that year, but good ol' Chip lost his gig and was replaced by Doug Pederson - which was a controversial decision, to say the least. The point is, study up on the two team's coaching staffs and their poor choices. This is a big deal.
3. Study Up on Some Vocab
Do you know what first and goal means? How about a blitz? Girl, these gents don't expect you to know these things, but if you do master some football buzzwords, their eyes will almost pop out of their skulls when you say smart things about football during the big game. Things like, "Wow, do you think they'll go for the field goal or risk it for the two-point conversion?" at the right time will make their jaws drop.
Learning things football fans say isn't so hard to take on really. Just Google some basic football lingo, and sprinkle in some of the terms throughout the game. For instance, "blitz" is an easy one. This is when the defensive backs take down the quarterback before he gets the ball out of his hands (brutal). If you say, "Are you kidding me? This is the third blitz in this game-unfreakingbelievable!" when your team's quarterback goes down - you win.
4. Don't Overdo the Team Spirit
Wearing your team's jersey is cool. A t-shirt - awesome. But rocking a shirt, painting your face, wearing the socks, and putting team-colored ribbons in your hair is too much. Men can smell desperation (it's this weird sixth sense thing that they have), so keep it minimal.
A little goes a long way here - you put in the effort but you aren't shoving it in their face either. It's kind of like dating. You have to keep it cool during those three days after your first date or you'll freak the guy out (games, games, games). Non-obsession intrigues them. It's nature's way.
5. Know the Appropriate Talk Times
There is no talking during gameplay other than groaning or complaining. High-fiving and celebration are also acceptable. But if you're talking during a play, you'll get some major eye rolls and audible sighs. Men absolutely cannot miss a single play as they have to rehash the entire game with their buddies. It's their brotherhood code.
If a receiver drops the ball when it's within arm's reach, you're more than welcome to shout, "What a bonehead! That pass hit him right in the breadbasket!" (aka his torso). That's a great thing to yell during a football game. You can also have short convo when the camera pans to the coaching staff, the team is in a huddle, or (obviously) during a commercial break. The guys are very serious about this, and it could lead to some arguments if not honored. It's one of the first chapters of the bro-code manual.
6. Throw out a Couple Tidbits
Even if they're obvious, it shows you know the game. "I heard Mark Sanchez went to the Cowboys; did he even get off the bench during his time with Eagles?" Here's the thing, the guys know this because they spend hours glued to Sports Center and/or their football apps. The second this news breaks, they're texting their inner circle-trust me.
If you know these little nuggets of info, it makes you 'one of the guys.' You're bantering with them in their language. Sure, they'll spout out a bunch of facts you'll never remember, but the point is they'll be stoked on your effort. Bonus points for finding a factoid they actually don't know.
7. Nail the Facial Expressions
This is a great tip for football newbies. Take a look at your surroundings. Are there furrowed brows, tight fists, and clenched jaws, or are there high-fives and relaxed sitting positions (hugs too on occasion)? Mimic the intensity.
A good way to show you're into the game is by getting in a forward-leaning pose on the couch. Put your elbows on your knees, and bury your head in your hands. This shows that you're really into the situation but also hides your face if you have absolutely no idea what's happening. Throw in a couple knee slaps and foot stomps if things get really bad for your team. Otherwise, nail those high-fives and claps like a BAWSE if your team is up.
8. Step Away From the Technicalities
When you hear a discussion emerging that starts with questions like, "What are your thoughts on Jared Goff being the Rams first round draft pick?" - run. While it's not hard to master generic football phrases and chants, you will not be able to keep up with this conversation unless you are involved with football on the regular. Nope. Not even close. This conversation always evolves into forecasting the performance of said player and the impact he'll have on the team.
This is a really good time to pull the "Oh boy, I need to check on those pigs in a blanket!" football food card. If you're not at your place, a 'bathroom break' will also get you out of the crossfire. Run away and don't look back until the game starts back up.
9. Find a Super Bowl Ally
It's important to find the right person in this situation. If you and your significant are hosting a Super Bowl party at your place - he's not the right person. Your hubby will obviously have a burning passion for football, and his bantering will be way over your head. You've got to think smart here. Don't pick the guy or girl who couldn't care less about the game either; this is a dead giveaway that you don't know your stuff.
Pick the middle-of-the-pack guy. You know, the guy who's engaged in the conversation, but isn't reciting Philip River's children's middle names. That's your guy. Spout off a couple tidbits and share your enthusiasm for the game, and this guy will likely keep it surface level. He's also your ticket into the boys club. Here's the secret: all you need is one to accept you, and the pack will follow.
10. Throw the Pig Skin
During half time, many football fans take a reprieve to throw the football around (it regenerates their football spirit or something). Even if you've never picked up a football in your life, give it a try!
There might even be a two-hand touch game that picks up. Get yourself on a team, and have some fun. You're not going to get tackled or be expected to mow down a dude that's over 6'3". Also, they will be impressed if you know some basic plays (please re-reference "blitz" here). Note: if you play, you become the "cool girl" instantly. This is something the guys will talk about and respect you for.
Show Off Your Football Understanding on Game Day
It's not hard to act like you know football. You've got the game plan; you have your ducks in a row. Now go out there and play hard, lady! Just remember, at the end of the day, it's only a game. If you say something that causes raised eyebrows, the point is that you're trying. Every football fan will appreciate you for that. Get started brushing up on your pigskin trivia with this fun Super Bowl quiz!

US senate to no longer offer BlackBerry phone to staffers
The US senate has received a notice stating that once the senate's inventory of BlackBerry handsets is depleted, the brand would no longer be available to those staff members who were allowed a new phone as a perk. Those staffers who currently owned a 'Berry could exchange it for a 16GB Apple iPhone SE or a Samsung Galaxy S6.
A letter sent to those affected by the decision, the senate's action came after BlackBerry informed Verizon and AT&T that it would no longer manufacture BlackBerry 10 OS powered handsets.
Staffers could still order the BlackBerry Z30, BlackBerry Classic, BlackBerry Passport, BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10. The senate's inventory mostly consists of the Classic and the Z30. Currently the senate held about 600 BlackBerry units in all, so those who wanted one could still get one.
This message was sent to administrative managers, chief clerks, and system administrators.
According to commentators, this was a significant moment in BlackBerry's history. At one time, the company used to dominate the mobile device market, thanks to its focus on security, email (from before messaging and social media took off) and a physical keyboard (the era before Swiftkey).
iOS and Android however, drew level with BlackBerry OS within a matter of years, sending the company's fortunes in a sharp decline and subsequent flirtations with bankruptcy.
