It's worth mentioning that starting with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903), Microsoft is providing a built in sandbox isolation program. Directions on how to enable the Windows 10 Sandbox for Pro and Enterprise versions are here , directions to enable Windows Sandbox in the Home edition of Windows 10 are here https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/sandboxie-released-freeware-soon-be-open-source.htm.

Sandboxie becomes freeware, soon-to-be open source https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2019/09/13/sandboxie-windows-sandbox/ Comments on the announcement were both positive and negative. Some say that this might be the end of Sandboxie because not a lot of developers will choose aid in its development for free. Others have more faith in the open source community, have welcomed Sophos’ decision and hoped that the company will complete the shift to open source soon. They also pointed out that the code, once open source, might go on to be integrated in other software and “knowledge won’t be lost.”

https://www.sandboxie.com/ IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SANDBOXIE VERSIONS Sophos is excited to announce that we are making Sandboxie a free tool, with plans to transition it to an open source tool. This new evolution of Sandboxie is one we are enthusiastic about, but that does not mean this was an easy decision to make. Sandboxie has never been a significant component of Sophos’ business, and we have been exploring options for its future for a while. Frankly, the easiest and least costly decision for Sophos would have been to simply end of life Sandboxie. However, we love the technology too much to see it fade away. More importantly, we love the Sandboxie community too much to do that. The Sandboxie user base represents some of the most passionate, forward thinking, and knowledgeable members of the security community and we didn’t want to let you down. After thoughtful consideration we decided that the best way to keep Sandboxie going was to give it back to its users – transitioning it to an open source tool. We will release more information about the open source project as we continue to work on the details. Until the open source transition is completed we have decided to make all restricted features of Sandboxie completely free.

The Greatest Showman on Earth - Freddie Mercury - "The Queen"

A man is sitting at the bar in his local tavern, furiously imbibing shots of whiskey. One of his friends happens to come into the bar and sees him. "Lou," says the shocked friend, "what are you doing? I've known you for over fifteen years, and I've never seen you take a drink before. What's going on?" Without even taking his eyes off his newly filled shot glass, the man replies, "My wife just ran off with my best friend." He then throws back another shot of whisky in one gulp. "But," says the other man, "I'm your best friend!" The man turns to his friend, looks at him through bloodshot eyes, smiles, and then slurs, "Not anymore! ... He is!"

Kids in back seats can cause accidents. Accidents in back seats can cause kids.. (pardon the language) - Two men at a Bar were having an overheated argument. One said to the other, "Kiss my A**!" His response was , "Spit and give me a clue." Some quotes & inspiration - Children & other people don't care how much one knows until they know how much one cares. A mistake is not a mistake unless one fails to learn from it. Minds are like parachutes and umbrellas. They won't work unless open. Excellence can be attained if you: Care more than others think is wise; Risk more than others think is safe; Dream more than others think is practical; Expect more than others think is possible. Even a turtle has to stick his neck out to progress. To accomplish great things one must not only dream about a vision and mission, but plan; not only plan, but also act; not only act but most important, believe. I'll see it when I believe it; not I'll believe it when I see it. Students are diverse people to be unfolded by best knowledge educational practices, not things to be molded by superimposed, irrelevant, disconnected, costly, winners/losers, one-size-fits-all standardized test driven projects. Do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember a kite rises against the wind rather than with it.
