Airport Greenhouse Gas Reduction Efforts

Airports in the United States are responding to the demand for increased air travel with sustainable development that incorporates more energy-efficient and lower-emission technologies. Funding for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-reducing technologies, such as electrification, alternative fuels, and renewable energy, has also become more accessible as technologies are proven to be safe, reliable, and cost-effective. Newer strategies and programs to reduce GHG emissions reach beyond airport operations to i...

Find Local Classifieds Browser Hijacker

Find Local Classifieds browser hijacker removal instructions

What is Find Local Classifieds?

Find Local Classifieds browser hijacker is designed to promote the findlocalclassifiedstab.com address, a fake search engine. Like most apps of this type, it promotes it by changing certain browser's settings. Usually, browser hijackers not only modify settings but also collect various (mostly browsing-related) information. Since users often download and install apps like Find Local Classifieds unintentionally, unknowingly, they are categorized as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

CapitaSearch Browser Hijacker

CapitaSearch browser hijacker removal instructions

What is CapitaSearch?

CapitaSearch is a piece of software, classified as a browser hijacker. Following successful infiltration, it modifies browser settings in order to promote search.capita.space - a fake search engine. Additionally, CapitaSearch adds the "Managed by your organization" feature to Google Chrome browsers. Most browser hijackers spy on browsing activity. Since most users download/install CapitaSearch unintentionally, it is also considered to be a PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application). One of the dubious methods used to distribute CapitaSearch is via illegal software activation ("cracking") tools. It is noteworthy that these tools are often used to proliferate malicious content as well (e.g. ransomware, trojans and other malware).

"Wash Your Lyrics" Makes Handwashing a Little More Fun

One of the most important tips for protecting yourself from COVID-19 is to wash your hands for 20 seconds, or as long as it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. British teen William Gibson decided he wanted the public to have more song options while fighting the spread of coronavirus.

Gibson created an online tool that allows a user to enter the title of their chosen song and artist to automatically generate a poster. The poster matches lyrics from the song to a 13-step washing routine. The UK’s NHS Health Secretary Matt Hancock has publically praised Gibson’s initiative as the posters have been shared extensively on social media. Gibson thought it would be popular, but has still been surprised to see some of his favorite celebrities posting about it. Visit the Wash Your Lyrics website to create your own poster for washing hands with your favorite song.

Group Makes Face Masks from Recycled Ocean Plastic

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, face masks have been in high demand. One company decided to take an eco-friendly approach to manufacturing and supplying the public with protective masks. The Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) partnered with the sustainable sportswear company Rash’r to turn plastic pollution found in the ocean into face masks.

All proceeds from the masks go directly back into the manufacturing of more masks to help recycle plastics from the ocean. The masks feature a number of ocean-themed designs and include special sizes for kids. The company has received more than 15,000 mask pre-orders in just a few weeks—which has helped recycle more than 1,300 pounds (590 kg) of ocean pollution. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends that people wear cloth face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in public places. The masks made by PADI offer a sustainable alternative to the N95 respirator masks being reserved for health care workers.
