  Indecision....
Posted by: Pronkertjie - 12-01-2005, 12:33 PM - Forum: Christian Faith Praise - Replies (1)

Indecision is often worse than the wrong action...

Former President Ronald Reagan enjoyed telling the following story about himself. He claimed it was how he learned, early in life, to make firm and resolute decisions.

According to the story, a kindly aunt took him to a cobbler to have a pair of shoes custom-made for him. The shoemaker asked, 'Do you want a square toe or a round one?' The young Reagan hemmed and hawed, so the cobbler said, 'Come back in a day or two and tell me what you want.'

A few days later the cobbler saw Reagan on the street and asked what he had decided about the shoes. 'I haven't made up my mind,' Reagan answered.

'Very well,' the cobbler said, and then he announced to his customer, 'Your shoes will be ready tomorrow.' When Reagan got the shoes, one had a round toe and the other a square toe!

Reagan concluded, 'Looking at those shoes every day taught me a lesson. If you don't make your own decisions, somebody else will make them for you.'

Remember always that no decision, is a decision!

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8

  Topic of Interest: Internet Explorer Vulnerability test
Posted by: ForumAdmin - 11-01-2005, 03:27 PM - Forum: Your Computers, Gadgets and Software - No Replies

Internet Explorer Command Execution Vulnerability Test

Introduction

Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Internet Explorer, which allows a malicious web site to execute arbitrary commands or install code on your computer without any user interaction.

A demonstration of the vulnerability is available for users running Internet Explorer 6 with Windows XP SP2 installed.

Test Case / Demonstration

Click the link below in order to test whether or not your system is vulnerable. This test is designed to work on Internet Explorer 6 with Windows XP SP2 installed.

Test Your System
Test Now - Left Click On This Link

Please note: If you wish to run the test multiple times, then please refresh this page before each test. The test requires that you have Windows installed in "c:/windows/".


What Happens When You Run The Test
When clicking the link above the exploit will be invoked. The exploit will launch "cmd.exe" (Command Prompt), which then will open a Secunia web page using "iexplore.exe" (Internet Explorer).

This test asks you to click a link before the exploit will run, this however, is not required for the vulnerability to work. The vulnerability can be exploited completely automatically by simply visiting a web site.


Result
You are vulnerable if a new Internet Explorer window opens, displaying a new Secunia web page.


Credits
The test is based on PoC by ShredderSub7.

PoC and test based on research by:
* ShredderSub7
* Paul, Greyhats Security
* Michael Evanchik
* Roozbeh Afrasiabi

  Would you please pray.....
Posted by: Pronkertjie - 09-01-2005, 09:11 PM - Forum: Christian Faith Praise - Replies (6)

For friends of mine in Italy and in Oxford.

Luigi and Paola's little girl is a week old. They found a lump and Paola's breast between Christmas and New Year and because she was pregnant she only had a proper biopsy this week and will hear the results on Tuesday. This is quite sad and a very scary time for them. They also have an active two and a half year old.

My other friend just came out the operating theater in Oxford having had her appendix taken out. She had to wait for two days in the hospital before they decided what to do, which means she didn't have any food since Friday.

Would really appreciate your prayers for both couples.

  Afrikaanse boeke ...
Posted by: Surita - 09-01-2005, 02:56 PM - Forum: Praat Afrikaans - Replies (2)

Ek het die afgelope tyd twee afrikaanse boeke hier in Engeland gelees.

Die eerste was "Voor ek vergeet" van Andre P Brink en ek moet se dat dit baie harde werk was om die boek klaar te lees. Dit gaan oor 'n 75 jarige man wat terugdink oor al die vroue wat hy in sy lewe gehad het en hoe hulle gekoppel was aan die veranderinge in Suid Afrika (natuurlik). Ek het later bietjie moeg geraak vir hoe hy die vroue verduidelik in terme van wyn. Dalk is dit 'n goeie boek vir iemand wat belangstel in vreeslike ernstige literere werke maar vir my was dit net baie harde werk om die boek te lees.

Die tweede een was "Die hart van ons huis" van Maritha van der Vyfer. Dit was 'n ongelooflike maklike boek om te lees - ek het dit in 'n middag klaargelees. Dit is amper 'n autbiografie van haar lewe in Frankryk en dit was lekker om soos 'n vlieg teen die muur te voel en lees van al haar ervaringe daar. 'n Lekker lees maar ek wens sy wil weer 'n boek soos "Wegkomkans" publiseer.

Nou sommer op 'n ander noot - ek wonder of Maritha van der Vyfer se boeke nie bietjie afgestomp gaan raak noudat sy in Frankryk woon en nie meer so baie Afrikaans praat nie en ook nie eintlik met die Afrikaanse kultuur in aanraking kom nie?

  What benefits am I entitled to in the UK with children
Posted by: mcamp999 - 09-01-2005, 11:55 AM - Forum: Business and Finance - Replies (17)

Child benefit

This is a 'no brainer' for anyone with kids. If you haven't signed up for it then get on it now! For your first child you are paid £16.50 per week and then for every other kid a further £11.50 per child per week. This is paid to you irrespective of your earnings or what other benefits you are receiving. You can begin claiming it as soon as your child is born but most importantly the maximum you can 'back claim' is 3 months worth. One further point is that you need to be living in the UK 'free of immigration control'. As per above it is also important that you are signed up for this so that you can receive your CTF (see below).
For further information please see: http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/childben...igible.htm

Child Trust Fund

This is a new initiative that has been launched by the government. Each child is entitled to a CTF (Child Trust Fund). Every child born after September 2002 will automatically be entitled to a voucher of £250 from the government (However you need to be signed up to the Child Benefit) The government will begin issuing information CTF packs in January and the vouchers should be issued by April 2005. This voucher must be invested within 12 months of issue. Each CTF can be funded to a maximum of £1,200 per year with no tax arising on this. The cash in the fund is locked up till the child turns 18. For households with annual income of less then £13,480 there is an additional amount payable. For further information please see: http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/ctf/basics.htm

Child Tax Credit

This is a means tested benefit that is paid to families with children. The amount of benefit paid is dependant on the household earnings. All families with children and income of up to £58,000 a year (or up to £66,000 a year if there is a child under one year old) can claim this benefit in some form. The amount of benefit paid is dependant on the gross annual joint income and the number of children. There is a table which lays out what you can claim - see http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/pdfs/wtc1.pdf

Working Tax Credit

This is a means tested benefit that is paid to families regardless of whether they have children or not. It is very much dependant on gross annual earnings and generally is only payable if you have very low annual earnings (less then £10,000 as a single person & £15,000 as a couple). We would doubt if this is of much use to most of our clients - unless you take a year off to study or something similar. There is a table which lays out what you can claim - see http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/pdfs/wtc1.pdf

Child Care Benefit

This is a benefit that is paid if you have children in the care of a registered or approved childcare. There are many different provisions around this and it is certainly worth investigating as I am sure many of you (particularly those who use nurseries), will be able to claim some benefit through this. The maximum you can claim for one child is £94.5 per week (with a max of £140 for two or more children). The benefit is payable until the age of 15 (so it seems that it includes schools as well!. For further information see: http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/pdfs/wtc5.pdf

Other free Benefits associated with children

There are many other maternity based benefits that are worth looking into. These revolve around what you are entitled to whilst you are pregnant and on maternity leave. These include free child prescriptions till children are 16 yrs. Free NHS prescriptions and NHS dental care whilst pregnant and for one year there after.
