Today is the first day of Movember.
I am a big supporter of this, and not so much of all that crazy pink breast cancer crap. I feel that so much awareness is raised regarding women's issues, whereas men get one month in a whole year. In my opinion, they get fairly screwed.
Anyway, so I have great respect for anyone who gets involved, as I will also. Minus the ability to grow a mo...

I love Mt. Tam. I have been aware of the mountain ever since I can remember and I grew up picnicking and playing and hiking on it. I love her beautiful, striking silhouette.
According to Wikipedia, the name Tamalpais was first recorded in 1845. The meaning of the name is not well-established and there are several versions of the etymology of the name.
One version holds that the name comes from ostensibly Coast Miwok words for "coast mountain" (tamal pais).
Another holds that it comes from the Spanish Tamal pais, meaning "Tamal country", Tamal being the name that the Spanish missionaries gave to the Coast Miwok peoples.
Yet another version holds that the name is the Coast Miwok word for "sleeping maiden" and is taken from a "Legend of the Sleeping Maiden". However, this legend actually has no basis in Coast Miwok myth and is instead a piece of Victorian-era apocrypha.
The Coast Miwok are said to have believed that an evil witch dwelled at the top of Mount Tamalpais and therefore never set foot on the peak.

The official rate of HIV in Darfur is quite low (less than 1%), but experts think this rate is really higher because many people, mainly in the rural areas, has never been tested before. Photo by Albert González Farran, UNAMID.
A super-jeep playing in the valley of Þórsmörk
Many people see nature as a big playground and think little about the consequences of their behaviour. If the driver of this super-jeep ever thinks about the emissions his vehicle produces? Or about the fact, that the oil and grid, that gets washed into the river during a car-wash like this, might have an effect on other lifeforms? And did it ever occur to him that other people might maybe not be impressed but annoyed when he races through the wilderness? I doubt it. It’s all down to money, thrillseeking and ego boosting.
This driver here was driving in a river bed, which at least does not leave any tracks as the river takes them sooner or later. But those cars drive everywhere, not only inside rivers. Therefore, offroad driving has become a big problem here in Iceland. Large parts of the interiour are desert-like and tempt some people to drive wherever they like, which officially is forbidden. Tracks often stay visible for years, as the arctic environment takes ages to recover. Officially, the 4x4 paths of the Icelandic interiour are only opened for 2-3 months over late summer and autumn. Spring is the worst time to travel: the snow melt makes the ground soft and even more prone to erosion. That is the reason why I always react very, very harshly to everybody that travels on jeeptracks during springtime. The consequences are much bigger then most people think: nature’s beauty is on stake. One bad example leads others to follow, always with the excuse: “I did not know” or “... but I saw other people doing the same...” As tourism is increasing, its problems are as well.
As in most parts of the world, tourism is changing the last bits of wilderness in this beautiful little county. The lack of nature protective rules doesn’t help, nor does the very disrespective behaviour of many Icelanders regarding their precious nature. Iceland’s wilderness is disappearing: just as nearly everywhere in the world. This is no exaggeration but a sad and undeniable fact.
The only thing that I can say to everybody who cares for nature and his own future: be aware of the consequences of your behaviour. Nature is precious, and it is disappearing because of our shortsightedness. Think into the future! Think twice about what you do, and which impression you make on other people. Beautiful pictures itself do not do nature any good. It’s the message they convey that is important!
April is Cancer Awareness Month, and I would like to bring awareness to breast cancer.
About three months ago I found a lump in my breast. Thankfully I have some education in the medical field and judging by how it felt (round, firm, rubbery, painless, and free moving) and that it had well defined round edges, I figured it was nothing more than a benign tumor. But I got it checked out anyway, of course, and after a couple of doctors visits and an ultrasound it was later ruled out that it was a fibroadenoma. Physicians are unsure what causes fibroadenoma, but when I felt mine I was going through a very stressful part in my life so I would like to think that may have played a role in this tumor developing. Fibroadenoma are common in young women, and can be either removed or, like me, be left in and be check regularly by a doctor. I am very thankful that all it was was a benign tumor. Although it may increase my risk of developing breast cancer later in life.
So to all you ladies (and gentlemen)
Do you regular self exams! Thats how I found mine, and if it isn't a fibroadenoma and something more dreadful, early detection is the key to beating the disease.
Oh and by the way, I feel like I have to say this: In my case, you cannot see the tumor so it doesn't deform breasts whats-so-ever.

The fountain in Perry Square was colored pink for breast cancer awareness month. God Bless everyone who has ever been affected by cancer.
Saw this Food Allergy Awareness bumper sticker on a vehicle outside the grocery store. Unfortunately, I've known people who are in denial about this, they think that food allergies are in the patient's head. That's wrong- food allergies are very real!

Severely backlit but I thought that it would be worth uploading because of the unusual paint scheme.

Example of Locky ransomware.
Locky is ransomware malware released in 2016. It is delivered by email and after infection will encrypt all files that match particular extensions.
After encryption, a message (displayed on the user's desktop) instructs them to download the Tor browser and visit a specific criminal-operated Web site for further information.
The current version, released in December 2016, utilizes the .osiris extension for encrypted files.
Many different distribution methods for Locky have been used since the ransomware was released. These distribution methods include Word and Excel attachments with malicious macros,DOCM attachments and zipped JS Attachments.

Road safety campaigners talked to students from the University of Manchester on Wednesday 6 February, to highlight the dangers posed to cyclists and bikers straying into the blind spots of HGVs and buses.
In the five years 2008/2012 there has been 10 motorcyclists and pedal cyclists killed and 47 seriously injured as a result of accidents with HGVs and buses on the roads of Greater Manchester. In the same period five of those road deaths and six serious injuries occurred where the driver’s vision was affected by the vehicle’s blind spot.
Campaigners say that cyclists, bikers and HGV drivers should take extra care when sharing the road to ensure that they are visible to each other. Drivers should especially watch out for cyclists when turning left.
Cyclists are warned to give HGVs a wide berth and remember that it is safer to be behind a lorry than at the side of it where a driver may not be able to see you clearly, particularly when attempting to turn.
This increased policing focus on road safety is a part of Operation Dice launched at the beginning of 2012 in response to a shocking increase in road deaths in 2011 when 76 people lost their lives on the roads of Greater Manchester. Figures from 2012 demonstrate that 49 people lost their lives, a decrease of 36 per cent on the previous year.
Under Operation Dice Greater Manchester Police is working with other emergency services and partners to increase public awareness of the ‘fatal four’ factors that feature in most road accidents i.e. drink driving, speeding, drivers using mobile phones and drivers and passengers not wearing seatbelts.
It also tackles drivers putting their own lives and that of their passengers and road users at risk through dangerous driving and flouting road safety laws.
Inspector Paul Rowe from GMP’s Roads Policing Unit said; “Stay safe, stay back and be seen is the most important message we can give to cyclists and bikers. They, by the very nature of their mode of transport are especially vulnerable on the roads and should, along with other road users, take extra care when sharing our roads”.
“Visibility is the key factor in many traffic accidents and cyclists and bikers can increase theirs by good road positioning, ensuring they use front and rear lights and wearing high-vis clothing.”
The event will be the start off a police enforcement campaign in which the police aim to educate and advise cyclists. Any offenders issued with a fixed penalty ticket will have the chance to attend a forthcoming educational meeting involving the joint campaigners in which the penalty ticket will be rescinded.
Karen Delaney, from DriveSafe, said “Cyclists do not have the benefits of safety cages, seatbelts or side impact bars, so when a collision occurs it can result in serious injury or worse for the rider.
“A significant number of collisions are down to road users attitude and behaviour. I would imagine that most people know somebody who rides a cycle and we would ask all road users to look out for cyclists and treat them with respect.”
These educational meetings will take place at Withington Fire station from 6:30pm to 8:30pm on Tuesday 19 February 2013, Thursday 28 February 2013 and Thursday 7 March 2013.
Transport for Greater Manchester continues to offer a free cycling refresher course for those wanting to get back on a bike after sometime away. The scheme is specifically aimed at those who want to sharpen their skills in order to cycle to-and-from work and is provided by an expert instructor at flexible times.
There's no need to be worried about getting back on your bike or trying something new with our free cycle training courses for adults.
