If you have something confidential to share with somebody else, then sending it via regular email is not the safest thing to do because there is always a risk of your emails getting intercepted by cyber criminal or snooping or government official. Instead it is highly recommended that you always encrypt your emails using a strong encryption algorithm.
- Mailvelope is a free browser extension that allows you to encrypt and decrypt emails directly from your favorite web email provider using the OpenPGP encryption standard. It is available for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Mailvelope makes use of public key cryptography which means that each who is communicating using the app has a unique encryption key which is split into two parts.
- Before you can start exchanging encrypted emails using the Mailvelope app, you need to first generate your encryption keys –keep the private key to yourself and share the public key with your recipients (via email, web or chat). Once you have installed the Mailvelope app, you will notice that a Mailvelope lock icon appears on the right corner of the address bar in your browser. Right click on it and select Option to display the Key Ring page, which allows you to generate, manage and share your encryption keys.
- To generate your encryption keys, click on the Generate Keys link in the Key Ring left menu bar, fill up the form on the right and click the submit button.
- To share your public key with somebody else, in the Key Ring menu bar click on Display Keys select the key you want share, click on the Export button and then click on Display public keys. You can now copy your public key to the clipboard and share it with your recipients via emails, chat or the web. For secure two way communication, your recipients also need to follow the same procedure, share their public key with you and your must import it to your Key Ring using the Key Import option.
- The next time you log into your favorite web mail account (like Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook and others) click on compose mail just the way you would normally. You will notice a new Mailvelope icon on the compose email screen. If you want to send an encrypted email then simply ignore the Mailvelope icon and continue composing the emails as you would normally. In case you want to send an encrypted email, then simply click on this Mailvelope icon and compose your email.
- Once you have composed your confidential emails, you need to encrypt it using the recipient's public keys. Click on the Encrypt button and select the recipient you want to send the encrypted email to and press OK.
- Mailvelope will automatically encrypt the email and display the encrypted text on the screen. Click on the Transfer button to transfer the encrypted text from the Mailvelope window to your web compose message window.
- You can now specify the recipient email address, the subject of the email, add any attachment (which will not be encrypted) and then hit the send button.
- When the recipient receives the email, the Mailvelope app running it their browser will automatically identify that the email is encrypted. To decrypt the email using their private key, the recipient has to click on the locked envelope icon and type in their password. Within a few seconds your encrypted email is encrypted and displayed in plain text on the recipient's screen.

"The band Orion was founded in 2015 in Tbilisi. We named our band Orion after prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. Since originally we mainly focused on psychedelic and space rock, we thought this name will suit and reflect the genre we play. Even though none of the group members is under the influence of any particular musical genre, our music assigns to Progressive/Indie/electro rock, yet it also incorporates certain details from different types of music. We view music as a form of art and a way to express yourself rather than as an entirely commercial product. We are independent musicians free of any labels and producers.
We have just released our new album that includes 11 songs. It is hard to single out one song, yet based on the views and the feedback received from our listeners Shades Of Nights and Lunatic Asylum are most popular songs. As for our future plans, we are going to hold a presentation of the new album and then we will start actively delivering concerts. The main priority of Orion is to enter European market", - The lead singer of Orion told Georgian Journal.
Here we present one of the hits of Orion, Shades Of Nights, so you can listen and enjoy. One can also listen to the band's live performances at various bars, pubs and clubs in Tbilisi.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Update February 15:
19th Judicial Court Judge Mike Erwin of Louisiana has broken his silence regarding the allegations of him using the N-word made against him. According to Kaneitra Johnson, Erwin used the word at Sammy's Bar when she took the bar stool of a Lyft driver who had gone to the restroom. When he returned from the bathroom, Johnson allegedly asked if he wanted his seat back, and he said "no," to which Erwin allegedly said, "You should have made her get her fat n****r a** up."
After being banned from Sammy's, Erwin released a statement refuting any claims that he used that word.
"I never have, never would and never will utter the language I was accused of saying. I have devoted my professional, legal and nearly 30-year judicial career working to ensure that each and every person that appears in my courtroom is treated equally under the law, I have never wavered from this and I will continue to treat each and every person equally and fairly," Erwin said in a statement reported by WAFB.
Additionally, upon further investigation, several witnesses present at the time claim they never heard the judge use the word. They do however remember Erwin and Johnson getting into a verbal disagreement over a seat.
Although Judge Erwin denies Johnson's claims, she and an attorney are still fighting to have Erwin removed from the bench. Additionally, representatives from the local NAACP chapter believe the investigation was a coverup and a way for the Sheriff's Department to protect their own.
Previous February 9:
While dining in Sammy's Grill in Baton Rouge Louisiana one patron overheard a judge spew racist comments about a woman. When Judge Mike Erwin saw man sharing his seat with a Black woman in the crowded restaurant, he allegedly said, "You should have made her get her fat n****r ass up."
On February 3, Baton Rouge resident Kaneitra Johnson witnessed the ordeal and made a public Facebook post over the weekend that recounted the story.
"I'm halfway on the seat and the Lyft driver is on the other half of the seat," Johnson said. "Then he asked for his jacket. All of a sudden I hear this older man behind me tell the Lyft driver, 'You never give up your seat for a n*gger.'"
Johnson said the man continued, "You should have made her get her fat n*gger a** up."
Eventually the police were called and questioned the older man who made the comments. Johnson later learned the racist man was Judge Mike Erwin of Louisiana's 19th Judicial District Court
According to Johnson's post, no action by police or Sammy's was taken against Erwin.
However, when Sammy's grill manager Andy McKay, who was absent that evening, was made aware of the situation, he took matters into his own hand.
"I wasn't there that night, so I can't comment on the details, but I know police were called," McKay told The Root. "I can also tell you that the owner, Sammy Nagem, has made it clear that Judge Erwin is no longer welcome here.
"We will refuse his business," McKay added.
While working for the 19th Judicial District Court, Erwin has frequently been in control of the outcomes for many Black men and women. For him to use such vile language about Black people means his abilities as a judge should be questioned.

"When my teacher asks me a question thinking I'm not paying attention, but I get it right."

The United States has been known to get the short end of the stick from foreign manufacturers. Because of cost, emissions laws, safety regulations—or even just different tastes—enthusiasts have felt the lack of love on all sorts of cars that come to our shores. Not this time. We finally got behind the wheel of the '15 Volkswagen Golf R that will go on sale in the USA and it's just as good as any of them.
Volkswagen had already allowed us to drive the MkVII Golf R on a frozen Swedish lake. While fun, drifting on a sheet of snow-covered ice doesn't provide much information beyond how well the defroster and heated seats work (really well, as it happens). Then VW shipped over a Euro-spec version. Most who drove it loved it, but lamented that we would surely get less horsepower, that the adaptive suspension would be a pipe dream for the States, and the idea of a VW offering both a manual and a DSG just couldn't happen here.
Well, guess what? We're getting it all. The Launch Editions offer everything but the manual transmission and that arrives in 2016. We get the same 292hp, 2.0L engine as the Europeans, rated at the same 280 lb-ft of torque. For an apples-to-pears comparison, the Euro-spec Golf R manual we tested hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 4.9 seconds. It wasn't so long ago that it would have taken a 911 to perform such a feat. The U.S.-spec DSG-equipped car does zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. That is legitimately fast. We are anxious to test a manual equivalent to get an actual comparison with the Euro-spec car.
The quarter-mile run returns the same performance gap, with the Euro-spec car running 13.5 seconds at 101.3 mph. The U.S. version clocked 13.1 at 104.9 mph. Both cars were riding on 235/35 Bridgestone RE050A tires. At 3,384 pounds, the DSG car was nearly 100 pounds heavier than the manual's 3,287 pounds. This might go some way in explaining why the manual stopped in 104 feet and the DSG in 108. Four feet may not seem like a huge difference, but it's enough to notice in the world of performance testing.
On the figure-8 track, the numbers are similarly close. The Euro-spec car did a lap in 25 seconds flat. A victory for Team America with our Golf R beating it by a tenth at 24.9 seconds. Perhaps more importantly, both cars felt the same. Gone are the days when buying the stock European springs were a Stage One upgrade for a North American car. Also, another victory for Americans: our Golf R has completely defeatable stability control. There is also a Sport Mode that only intervenes (like the GTI) when things are way out of hand. But if you want to get out of hand, that's now an option.
On public roads, the Golf R is phenomenal. The GTI is still the ultimate hot hatch, but this is something different. The MkVI Golf R was good, but this is a shift in the same way the 996 Turbo changed the perception of the top 911. It's fast and corners like a sports car, but does it with so little effort. On top of that, it can move the contents of a small apartment with the rear seats down.
At this point, it's probably fair to mention the competition the Golf R will be fighting in the U.S. market. Volkswagen reckons it will be the BMW M235i xDrive Coupe, Mercedes-AMG CLA45 and, the R's sister in Ingolstadt, the Audi S3. Any of these will cost an additional $10,000 or above when equipped to corresponding levels.
An informal comparison with the M235i xDrive found that the Golf R would be far easier to live with in terms of practicality and comfort. The BMW delivers a different driving experience. By sacrificing space, you get a car that feels closer to a sports machine. It feels substantially more powerful with its turbocharged six-cylinder.
The CLA45 provides the cachet of driving an AMG, plus the power is just nuts. It sounds amazing as well. But ultimately, passengers in the back seats had better be small. The S3 is a strange comparison, even though most of the hardware is the same as the VW. With a swooping roofline similar to the CLA, rear-seat usability is not nearly as good as the Golf. Also, while the R's interior is a study in German ergonomics, the Audi is a master class in minimalism. The S3 feels more modern, but looks a bit stark next to the R.
The real story is the price difference. Once the base Golf R is available, it will start at $37,415 (including delivery). The BMW is $45,850, the Mercedes comes in at $49,425, and the Audi at $41,995. However, things like heated seats, keyless ignition, rearview camera, premium sound, top-level sports seats, and even leather are extra on the more expensive cars. Those things add up quickly. The extras on our test car are 19-inch alloys, navigation and DCC adaptive classic control.
For value and utility, nothing really matches up to the Golf R. At least not yet. Ford has just announced the 315hp Focus RS, which, if the Focus ST is any indication, will be some strong temptation. There is also the rumored Dodge Dart SRT. Neither car will be a rival in build or material quality, but the RS should certainly compete in handling; the SRT might compete on price.
The limited number of '15 Launch Edition versions are already sold out, but 2016 brings a choice of DSG or traditional manual transmission. Adding the third pedal will also result in a discount of $1,100. Volkswagen has been accused of pandering too much to the mainstream in recent years, but if the MkVII GTI didn't change anyone's mind about the company's commitment to enthusiasts, the Golf R certainly will.

Bank Street, Bilston, Bradley, Dudley, John Baker, John Sankey and Sons, King's Liverpool Regiment, March End, Midland Counties Express, St Martin's School, Wednesfield
John Roland Baker was born in Dudley in 1896. By 1901, he was living with his family at 171 March End, Wednesfield. Alongside himself, the household consisted of his father John Baker, mother Mary Ann Baker, sister Dorothy May, and brothers Harold and William Edmund Norman. His name in the 1901 census was listed as John "Rowland". He was taught at St Martin's School Bradley. By 1911, the family are at 8 Bank Street, Bilston, and John is now living with his step-father Thomas Elton, mother Mary Ann Elton, step-brother Thomas Arthur Elton, brothers, Harold, William Edmund Norman, Stanley, John Frederick and Edgar Ralph Baker. John's father had clearly died in the interim period, although his death must have been registered outside Wolverhampton as I have been unable to find it. In any case, Mary Ann Baker remarried to Thomas Elton in 1910. By 1911, John Roland Baker has become a galvanizer, and was employed at the Bradley works of J. Sankey and Sons.
Baker enlisted in the 13th Battalion of the King's Liverpool Regiment (number 235123). He was killed in action on 27 September 1917, and an article in the Midland Counties Express on 10 November 1917 reported that his "officer says of him that he was a very fine soldier, and they felt his loss very much in the platoon and company." He is commemorated on the Tyne Cot Memorial, as well as on the Roll of Honour at Bradley Memorial, Bilston, and the Sankey War Memorials, now at St Leonard's Church, Bilston.

To Conquer Mount Kinabalu
I have needed to climb Mount Kinabalu in Sabah. Finally the chance arose and that i boarded a flight to Kota Kinabalu with my alternative friends Associate in Nursingd an equal live of pleasure and apprehensiveness. As ever, the flight was comfy and timely, delivering North American country to Kota Kinabalu early within the afternoon with many time to form the two-hour come near to Kinabalu Park headquarters. As we tend to approached in significant rain, Asian country initial United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization world Heritage web site, I got my initial glimpse of the good mountain, with the gray rocks of the summit rising majestically from the luxurious inexperienced forest below, teasing North American country from behind the clouds. we tend to pay the night within the park and awoke subsequent morning to an excellent wild blue yonder stuffed with sunshine. Weather like that ne'er fails to lighten my step, notwithstanding what percentage I required to require.
My cluster go away from the Timpohon Gate at eight.00am. The contemporary air and funky temperature were a joy. I found the path well maintained and also the combination of marker at each five hundred metres and frequently spaced rest huts meant that I forever knew what quantity progress i used to be creating. it had been six metric linear unit trek to Rudolph Laban Rata resthouse, wherever we tend to spent [*fr1] the night before creating the ultimate push for the summit. The last leg – concerning one.4kms – didn't sound so much however was, in fact, quite an challenge! while there was lots to seem at – the occasional, breathless views across the lowlands, the forest, fellow climbers and, porters passing with gas canisters, cases of canned drinks and trays of eggs strapped to their backs – the path did become a slog and also the air got perceptibly agent.
Just wanting 5 hours when setting of, we tend to reached Rudolph Laban Rata and what a treat that was – sitting out on the terrace, on top of the clouds within the dazzling sunshine, boots off, aching legs however with comprehensive exhilaration! other than adjusting to the altitude and soaking within the read, that got even higher at sunset, there wasn't abundant to try and do up there. But soon, at around3.00am, it had been time to depart the remainder space.
Setting out within the dark was the half I had been most nervous concerning however it had been fine truly. The artful was clear and also the stars was spectacular; it created Pine Tree State realise what quantity artificial lightweight pollutes the cityscape. Once we tend to were au fait the upland, the walking became easier; the big slabs of granite provided sensible grip. because the sky began to lighten and also the totally different peaks emerged from the darkness. I reached the last two hundred metres of the ascent to Low's Peak. It couldn't are regular higher. The orange rays of the rising sun crammed the sky as we tend to queued for pictures on the summit of Malaysia's highest peak a4 four,095m. the realm is remarkably tiny and, with 147 climbers reaching the highest in shut succession, all needing to get their photograph, it had been Associate in Nursing excuse in patience!
Descending to Rudolph Laban Rata was fabulous as we tend to might see all that had been hidden within the darkness on the high. we tend to were conferred with endless views of Kota Kinabalu and bent on ocean, the rocky outcrops of the upland and also the stunning alpine vegetation below. Enroute, we tend to stopped at Rudolph Laban Rata for a second breakfast and to select up the gear we tend to quickly discarded from our packs for the ultimate climb.
There wasn't obtaining faraway from it however the long walk back to the gate was the toughest. It felt just like the better part was currently behind Pine Tree State. The joyfulness I felt on the summit lasted solely a short time and, as my knees began to ache with the force of walking down the steps, it became a mental challenge to continue golf shot one foot before of the opposite.
Almost for hours later and that we finally got wind of the gate, we tend to collected our certificates from park headquarters and left the place exhausted however joyous over our action.

Well..here we go… blog no 2!
What a crazy few weeks it's been, so much happening on a personal note music-wise.
Gotta start with the launch of the new Corrugated Tunnel Album, Minor Obsessions. Album written and produced by Edwin James. Described as 'an insanely talented tunesmith' by E. McFee of HotPress Magazine, I was delighted and pretty honoured that Edwin asked me to collaborate with him on no less than two tracks for the album. The album was released on 11th October.
The launch party for Minor Obsessions took place on Saturday last in The Grand Social in Dublin. I performed live versions of my two tracks 'Remedy for my Soul' and 'The Rejection'. Was great to perform them live and in the company of such talent. A shout out to Liam Dunne (I'm now his no 1 fan… loved his set) , Donnacha Costello, Tenth PlanetMusic and Process Recordings. A big shout out too to my vocal partner in crime on the night Miss Deborah Kelly.
If you wanna show the love and purchase the album you can do so on all digital download stores or on the Process Recordings website. And if you don't believe me about how good the album is check out the external reviews I've pasted at the end of the blog :))
On a separate note I'm working on some cool new tracks and must say am pretty excited by these two. Next Monday I'm off to Paris, France to record a dance music track with a legendary Brazilian House music maestro (who I can't currently name at the moment). However, this guy has produced remixes for the likes of Shakira and The Bee Gees and is pretty much legendary in House music circles.
So with all the goings on with the original music is there any time for Antoinette church singer or Antoinette, wedding singer? ABSOLUTELY. I did the wedding of the beautiful Tricia (and Will of course) in Naas last Friday and am in Dublin this coming Friday at the wedding of Mandy and Brian.
On top of that I've been extremely busy with administration for bookings for next year (as well as bookings for 2012!)- the diary is filling up pretty heavily. If you want a wedding singer for next year my advice is get in early to book your preferred singer (particularly for the summer months) as most wedding singers or church singers worth their salt will be booked months in advance.
OK, gonna leave it there, Thanks for reading.Until the next time!
PS Don't forget to check out the feedback below for 'Minor Obsessions' !
I know they say don't believe your own hype… but the hype is good, so we're gonna take it while it's going! So here goes with a sample of some of the feedback we've received:
'It's not the standardized dance album of say, David Guetta. No, it's better than that' Pete M, review of Minor Obsessions for HarderFaster.
'The overall atmosphere is deep and dark..except the vocals… Antoinette is the sunshine that takes you along the trip' Erik Buis in reviewing the Rennie Foster remix of Remedy For My Soul
Remedy For my Soul referred to as 'obvious standout' and also voted the 'key track' of the album Minor Obsessions by HotPress Magazine
"Great track! Reminds me of The Gossip" – DJ Tronic (DanceFloor Mayhem)
"Great track, nice for a backroom set" – Tom Findlay (Groove Armada)
"Good song, catchy vocal and music. It's a hit!" – Shane Johnson (Fish Go Deep)
"21st Century Synth Pop, love it :)" – Mitch Davis (Electric Sheep)
"I love the Italo-disco connections!" – Chelonis R Jones
"Remedy For My Soul is master." – Theo Ploeg (OOR)
"Best Album to date from Edwin. I am pleasantly surprised by the variation and also the vocals are a welcoming change especially Antoinette is touching the senses here. Good work and deserves more and better things for Mr James!" – Orlando Voorn

As our data assets continue to grow larger and more complex, the need for Big Data technologies has never been greater. Today, there are many tools are frameworks available to handle these needs, most built on the underlying Hadoop framework. Since Hadoop's inception over a decade ago, many individuals and organizations have been struggling to leverage the framework due to its requirement for Java programming skills. There have even been articles and blogs published describing Hadoop as "the death of SQL". This presented an immense challenge for organizations that derive value from traditional Data Warehousing and SQL skills.
Fortunately, the industry answered in a big way. The Apache Software Foundation brought SQL into the big data space with a "SQL-to-MapReduce" platform called Hive, an interactive query language called Impala and a "SQL-to-Hadoop" ingestion engine called Sqoop. Eventually, Data Warehousing was brought full-scale into the big data space with tools such as Teradata and Informatica, as well as cloud resources like Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Amazon Redshift and Google BigQuery, to name a few. There are even some tools emerging that leverage Hybrid SQL languages, such as Azure Data Lake Analytics' U-SQL, to combine the flexibility of other programming languages with the familiarity of SQL.
Needless to say, Big Data will not be "the death of SQL". There are many organizations harmoniously leveraging SQL alongside Hadoop to create amazing Big Data Analytic Solutions that seamlessly leverage existing Data Warehousing and application development skillsets. The same fundamentals are being applied to leverage SQL alongside use cases like Data Lakes, Streaming Data, Machine Learning and Internet of Things applications.
Contrary to early report predictions, the future of data analytics will not see the downfall of traditional Data Warehousing, but an integration of these techniques with Data Lakes, Streaming Data, Machine Learning and Internet of Things applications. At Syntelli Solutions, we are experts in integrating the "tried and true" with the "fast and new".
Ask a Syntelli data scientist how we can use Big Data Analytics to revolutionize the way you do business.

I've just been writing about Crowle, Worcestershire, on my travel blog, and in the process found a link to wartime experiences in Crowle, written by one Raymond Holt.
I've taken the liberty of quoting the opening paragraph:
I was born in Crowle, Worcestershire in 1933. I was six years old when World War 2 began. My Father was the village undertaker, coffin maker, carpenter and local Special Constable. My Grandfather had been the coffin maker and undertaker before my Father took over. We all lived within a hundred yards of each other in Crowle village.

May 4, 2018
On March 4, 2018, Italians went to the polls to elect their next government. In the midst of economic, social and demographic upheaval, parties across the political spectrum aimed to capture the mood of a disgruntled electorate. With the populist Five Star Movement and anti-immigrant League on the rise alongside the faltering of traditional powerhouses Forza Italia and the Democratic Party, this election turned Italian politics upside down.

10 different ways a VPN for games enhances your gamingcybersilent
A VPN for amusements (GPN, or gamers private system) can bring down the inertness between a player and the server customer (ping) and accelerate your association, yet that is not by any means the only advantage, as you likely speculated from the title of this blog.
Reasons why a gaming VPN is best for games
What takes after are some visual cues containing a few delectable VPN gaming information pieces.
- Play games, download DLC substance, and access Xbox Live and PSN special features from each nation.
- Be the first to play certain games by downloading from nations with prior dispatch dates.
- Shorter association courses amongst you and gaming servers can decrease ping times and general slack.
- Guard your information and spare records behind a scrambled gaming private system.
- Shield yourself from DDoS assaults, which are rapidly turning into the scourge of e-sport competitions.
- Utilize gaming servers from anyplace on the planet when making a trip to remove horrendous ping times.
- Play multiplayer recreations in each country.
- Associate with servers around the globe to play your companions, regardless of whether a title requires an IP address from a particular nation to play.
- Multi-stage – CyberSilent VPN has applications for iOS and Android for gaming in a hurry.
- Set up your switch (>Netduma, Asus, D-Link, TP-Link, Netgear, Linksys) and every one of your gadgets can associate with CyberSilent VPN without a moment's delay.
- Reward: If you're confronting inactivity issues attempt a VPN for better dormancy amusement play.
A VPN for gaming is fundamental for current gamers
In the past 8-bit sprites of handymen and hedgehogs were controlled in the isolation of your room. A period when multiplayer implied having to really sit by a genuine individual. Its frightfulness.
Luckily, those circumstances are different. Recreations have advanced into tremendous, sprawling enterprises set in otherworldly universes on faraway planets—and Nazi zombie combat areas on the moon, clearly.
Present day gamers can play anybody, whenever, and it's quite damn astounding. Just inasmuch as they have a sufficiently powerful web association, that is. Also, in that lies the issue.
ISPs can throttle associations if transmission capacity use is thought about too high, leaving gamers with a frightful slack or a spotty association.
Be that as it may, we are human. We advance, we adjust, and we prevail. Thus we made VPN programming that offers gamers quick, continuous gameplay, anyplace.
Get a DOTA VPN with a low ping
In the event that you play DOTA or DOTA 2, your area may mean you have a long sit tight for enough players to begin a competition.
There are some enormous name players out there, as well! Elon Musk's AI is relied upon to contend in the DOTA 2 5v5 match International Tournament in August.
Figure you can beat Mr. Musk? You have a shot! The AI will play with limitations, including no warding or summons. However, to play, you first need to interface. No issue in the event that you utilize a low ping VPN—simply set your area to where the most players are. Simple.
No all the more staying nearby the entryway sitting tight for an amusement, you can hop straight into the activity.
Beat the Fortnite VPN issue
On the off chance that you utilize a Fornite VPN or PUBG intermediary, you have to ensure your association has low dormancy and high speeds.
Sony players may be kicked out of the cross-stage fun, however there's no motivation behind why you should pass up a major opportunity for the fight royale play area.
A VPN won't give you a diversion advantage, yet it will give you a chance to play Fortnite whenever, and from anyplace, you please.
Steady gaming with a DDoS secured VPN
VPN DDoS insurance can keep your gaming association steady and reliable.
A Denial of Service Attack (DoS) is an endeavor to make an administration unusable and, as they're anything but difficult to execute, are moderately normal. Minecraft and League of Legends (LoL) are only two major players that have had their servers hit with a DDoS as of late.
There's nothing more terrible than having your diversion time destroyed by impolite cretins, however in case of a LoL DDoS assault, a VPN can influence League of Legends to run quicker.
There are different advantages to gaming with a VPN beside DDoS insurance, however. Utilizing a VPN to interface with an alternate server area can really help diminish ping in LoL, Minecraft, or some other MMO diversion.
In case you're playing any diversion on the web, a steady association is basic. Tired of slack in CoD? Getting a VPN for your FPS may make it somewhat less demanding to hit those jerky, laggy opponents– straight in the face.
Beat lag with the best VPN for gamers
CyberSilent VPN offers lightning-fast speeds and 99.9% uptime. On the off chance that you consider your gaming important, you have to consider your web association important as well. Nobody needs to continue getting DDoSed.
A GPN will prevent you from getting pwned by your ISP, yet it will open up new lots of agony as you play on diversion servers around the globe. Simply take a stab at playing Street Fighter V on the Asian systems, it's merciless.

Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport Unveils Floor Mosaic Designed by Scott Parsons
A floor mosaic designed by Augustana's Scott Parsons, associate professor of art, was unveiled earlier today at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The 1,800-square-foot floor mosaic features colors and a design that Parsons says reflects Minnesota's landscape, history and the movement of people through time and space as part of the larger human journey.
Domonique Venzant '02 planned on a career in medicine or biology research. Then he met Gerry Punt. His story is proof that even the best laid plans are no match for the power of a heart awakened. Learn more about Venzant and his exhibit, "Sine Qua Non" now showing at the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery.
Bloomberg Features Dr. Wright Op-Ed
An op-ed by Dr. Robert Wright, Nef Family Chair of Political Economy and director of the Thomas Willing Institute at Augustana, that explores how the Woonsocket Investment Company swayed the South Dakota electorate to its shareholders' advantage, resulting in the decision to locate the capital of South Dakota in Pierre instead of Huron in 1890, is featured in "Echoes," the business history blog of Bloomberg View.
Hundreds Turn Out for 2012 Viking Days Parade
Hundreds of Augustana alumni, students and friends lined the streets of campus Saturday morning to watch the 2012 Viking Days parade. Viking Days 2012 continues with Saturday's football game against Minnesota State; the Blue and Gold Gala, where the College will honor its 2012 Alumni Achievement Award Winners; the 59th annual Viking Varieties; and more!

Students Hear Eco-friendly Ideas at Sustainability Panel
Local environmental advocates discussed alternative energy resources and shared ideas on how to live a more eco-friendly life earlier today as part of Augustana's New Student Seminar (NSS).
Students, Faculty Weigh In on Presidential Debate
Student members of C.O.U.P.S. (Committee for Undergraduate Political Scientists) watched last night's presidential debate between Republican challenger Mitt Romney and President Barak Obama in Granskou Hall, members of the Augustana Republicans gathered in the Academy House, and Dr. Emily Wanless, assistant professor of government and international affairs/political science, watched from home. They spoke with local news outlets about their impressions.
Augustana Ranked Among Top 100 NCAA Schools for Academic, Athletic Success
Augustana ranks high in both academics and athletics in the 10th annual NCSA Athletic Recruiting Collegiate Power Rankings. The College is ranked fourth among NCAA Division II schools, No. 28 amongst 1,066 active NCAA member schools and is the only school listed in the overall top 100 from South Dakota or North Dakota.
Work by Alumnus, Playwright Receives National Recognition
A play by Augustana alumnus Jon Josten, class of 2010, was named a semi-finalist for the prestigious Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference held earlier this summer in Waterford, Conn. "It's exciting and humbling to have the work honored in this way," Josten said.

Jersey Shore Becomes Bubble Central - (Temporarily)
What is clearly of concern to followers of the home building industry is that the market seems to have soured so fast, and in an area that is probably not as "frothy" as places like southwest Florida, Vegas or San Diego. I don't doubt that the Kara's predicament is going to be examined pretty closely to see if there are any similarities between their business model and that over the larger public home builders.
In the meantime, see if Kara owes you any money.

RFIB appoints Northern European team
RFIB Group Limited, the international Lloyd's insurance and reinsurance broker, today announces the appointment of Colin Pinder and Gary Blakesley as Divisional Directors to develop a predominantly German Marine account. Colin and Gary take up their new roles with immediate effect reporting to Chris Tansley, Managing Director Marine International.
Colin Pinder brings more than four decades' experience in the German Hull and War market to RFIB. He joins from Willis, where he served as Divisional Director. Prior to this, Colin spent 20 years at Miller Insurance Brokers. He began his career in 1971 with Glanville Einthoven.
Gary Blakesley also joins RFIB from Willis where he focused on Hull Machinery, Increased Value and War Risks in the German and Northern European Markets. Prior to this, Gary spent 12 years at Ropner Insurance Services, again focusing on German Hull business. He began his career in 1982 at Alexander Howden.
Jonathan Turnbull, Chief Executive Officer of RFIB said: "I am delighted to welcome Colin and Gary to lead our expansion into the German market. Their exceptional experience and market contacts, combined with a proven track record of building profitable accounts will be a terrific asset in realising our ambitions for the region. Both Colin and Gary have built their reputations on providing solutions tailored for clients' specific requirements and as such are the ideal candidates to broaden RFIB's offering in Germany."

Anyone have any more info as to target market etc.
Why would you buy such a kite if you can fly a Sonic 2, Chrono V2 etc. These kites are all super stable and have way more performance. A foil kite trying to be a tube kite is not going to make it...gmb13 wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 10:21 amHi,
I have been blessed by Ozone to have one of the first ones to make some review videos etc. Official info will be out in a few weeks, but I can say that it is the kite the Flysurfer Unity should have been, but never was. It can also be converted to open cell for those touring days. It is super stable, turns fast, relaunches super easy pulling one steering line. People will love this kite. I has way more performance than I first thought it would.
LOL. Lower aspect foil kites are completely different than tube kites.A foil kite trying to be a tube kite is not going to make it...
Hi Gunnar,
Try to fly a small high AR kite in not perfect conditions at a lake with gusts beyond 30 knts. Or drop it in between a 2 m wind wave. There are many reason why nobody offers a high AR kite around 5 m². I tried and owned most of the smallest water foil kites, as PS4 in 6m², Pulse in 5m² and the PS3 in 4m². Even the pretty good PS4 was already to sensible for trimm issues at least for most riders, not talking about the other two even smaller ones. What you want above 30 knts is simplicity, super fast relaunch with one line, extremly high resistance against collapsing tips and if it happens a very gentle reopening behavior. I think you can get this just with low aspect foils. And what you not need to much is performance above 30 knts, especially not on a foilboard.
That has nothing to do with high-AR foilkites but more with Ozone's design/manufacturing that let the kites deflate pretty quickly and suck up water like a sponge. At least until the R1 V1/Chrono V2, don't know if the R1 v2/v3 holds their air better on the ground or water.Horst Sergio wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2017 7:55 am... and if you look at all these "I can't launch my R1" topics also many would profit also in normal winds / sizes from lower aspect kites with easier handling.

I had the opportunity to try out Flowering Baby Vol 3: Two to Three Years Curriculum with my 2 year old.
Flowering Baby is a curriculum tailored to milestones of specific age groups. It's a very simple curriculum, in that it does not take a lot of preparation, materials or time. This curriculum would be perfect for someone who wants to work on developing age appropriate skills for their child, but they are not quite sure what to do or where to start.
Each lesson takes about 15-20 minutes to complete for the 2-3 age group; which is perfect for the attention span of this age. You could even spread the activities out throughout the day, dividing it into 5min (or so) increments.
The daily activities consist mostly of:
and occasionally others like Art, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, etc.
You can see an example of daily activities by visiting the website.
I have to be honest, this particular curriculum was TOO SIMPLE for us, especially since I already have a program in play that we all enjoy and is much more involved.
HOWEVER, I would definitely recommend this curriculum for someone who wants a few ideas of what to do with their 2-3yo on a daily basis and wants to keep it short and simple. This curriculum would be perfect for that! There is little to no prep needed, materials are easy to get, and the lessons are laid out in a daily format. Step by Step instructions – piece of cake!
This curriculum would also be great for those who do not plan to homeschool past Preschool, but want to engage their children in daily learning activities. This is not just a "HOMESCHOOLING" curriculum!
Flowering Baby offers curriculum starting with Birth through age 5, and the complexity and time needed to complete the daily tasks increases with age. The 3-4yo and 4-5yo curriculums have the daily activities and choices of monthly themed activities to do also.
I love the emphasis of READING books for each age level and the books suggested are all GREAT books (many of our favorites)! Reading to your child from a very young age is so important and has so many benefits! I don't think many people realize what an impact reading to your infant has in development!
For families with more than one child, you could easily involve all children ages 5 and under in activities with just a little bit of tweaking, or by spending a short amount of one-on-one time with each child for their 'lesson'. Children will really enjoy the one-on-one time as well!
The 2 to 3 year old program can be purchased for $30, or you can purchase all 5 programs for $132. (The Birth to 1 and 1 to 2 year old programs are also $30 each, the 3 to 4 and 4 to 5 year old programs are $38 each)
You can get 10% off with coupon code "Blog10"
Here are some pictures of my 2yo engaged in a few of the lessons we did with the 2-3yo program!

Cliches exist for weekends like this. There really is no tomorrow. It's all on the line. Win or go home. The cream rises to the top. Four months of basketball come down to four games. Et cetera, et cetera.
There's no more rationalizing a defeat with "they're just a little flawed, it's still good, it's still good." The season is officially a tightrope and one more defeat (at least if it occurs before Monday) likely sends the Flying Dutchmen into the abyss of the off-season (or, perhaps, the CBI or CIT…which, you know, may be abysses of their own).
It's the cruelest—remember last year, when the Dutchmen were the first team to tip off and the first one to go home?—yet potentially most rewarding weekend of the season, and the mere math suggests the odds are the ride home to Hempstead will be a long one. But everyone's facing the same 1-in-12 shot, so why can't the Dutchmen be the 1?
Sure, it's a lot to expect four wins in four days, but this is the season in which all hell will break loose in a tournament that typically goes according to chalk. I refuse to believe everything will unfold in fairly predictable fashion after a crazy regular season.
It's largely a matter of apples and oranges, but I think back a couple months and how an unpredictable NFL regular season beget a playoffs in which both top seeds were wiped out in the conference semifinals and an afterthought no. 5 seed fell to a perennial contender in a thrilling Super Bowl. (Hmm…in that case, I guess the Dutchmen would fall to Mason in the championship. Aaaaaargh!)
So how do the Dutchmen end up the Arizona Cardinals, plus one? They need Greg Johnson—who isn't Carlos Rivera and isn't a 40-minute-a-game point guard—to mimic Rivera's nearly perfect play in the 2006 CAA Tournament. Tom Pecora is right to presume the Dutchmen will need big performances from their big men, but a combined 20 productive minutes a game out of the inconsistent Dane Johnson and the still-healing Miklos Szabo is essential to any title hopes.
Nathaniel Lester needs to rediscover his form and confidence of early-to-mid February, when he was a consistent double-double threat and the wingman to Charles Jenkins. Speaking of Jenkins, he doesn't have to shoot 50 percent four straight games for the Dutchmen to win, but he does have to remain productive in other facets of the game even if he's struggling from the field. Like he did against Fairfield, when he was 4-of-17 from the field but had nine assists and three steals.
Cornelius Vines and/or Zygis Sestokas need to be hot all weekend, because it's going to be very tough to win a game in which neither one of them is draining multiple 3-pointers. Tony Dennison needs to have a game in which he scores more points than he did all of February. Considering he scored three points in February, I figure that'll happen.
I like the Dutchmen's chances because they're fundamentally sound, extremely well-tested in close games and deeper than any other team in the field. Also, Mike Francesa said in December he didn't think they could do it.
And I'm fretful because this team is prone to slow starts on the road, and all it takes is 10 bad minutes in the first half to render the first 30 (or more) games meaningless. And I'm fretful because history not only suggests but screams that nobody's ever done this—this being a northern-based team winning the CAA, this being a team winning on Friday as well as Monday, this being a five seed emerging as the champion.
But what the hell. Optimism this weekend is a lot like a gift card to a store that's getting ready to close (I know, I know: What a concept). There's no saving it, so spend it all now. Plus, it's the 15th anniversary of the fifth-seeded Dutchmen storming to the ECC championship.
It's serendipity, baby. And if it's not, well, hopefully they make it interesting along the way.
It doesn't look like we'll be in Richmond, but we'll have posts as long as the Dutchmen are playing, so please keep stopping by. Enjoy the ride, however long it is.
Blog-biased predictions that will probably be wrong:
No. 8 Georgia State over no. 9 Delaware: Maybe it's just the fresh memories of Georgia State's thrashing of the Dutchmen, but I have a hard time seeing the Panthers lose to Delaware, which is 5-11 overall—and 0-9 in conference—away from the Bob.
No. 5 Hofstra over no. 12 UNC-Wilmington: Historical trends aside, this one still scares me, and I don't expect the Dutchmen will enjoy their first blowout of the conference season now. But they'll expose the Seawolves just enough down low to advance to the quarters.
No. 10 William & Mary over no. 7 James Madison: For precisely the reasons Litos described…plus the whole tree-falling-on-the-JMU-parking-spot thing. Sometimes you just can't ignore the signs, you know.
No. 6 Drexel over no. 11 Towson: Biggest blowout of the first round. Pat Kennedy's last game?
No. 1 VCU over no. 8 Georgia State: For a few days last week I was thinking Georgia State would pull off a shocking upset here. That 28-point loss Saturday put a kibosh to that, but the Panthers will still make the Rams sweat here before VCU pulls away late.
No. 5 Hofstra over no. 4 Old Dominion: Game of the tournament. Whomever wins here makes the final. ODU is clicking better than anybody else and it won't surprise me at all if they escape with the victory, but my minor blog bias foresees Charles Jenkins taking this game over late and declaring to all of Virginia his arrival as a CAA superstar.
No. 2 George Mason over no. 10 William & Mary: Midnight comes a couple rounds earlier this year for William & Mary.
No. 6 Drexel over no. 3 Northeastern: I know I was all over the Northeastern bandwagon a few weeks ago, but Drexel's season-ending skid seems more a matter of bad luck and more reversible than that of the Huskies.
Hofstra over VCU: Oh sure, the tiebreaker here is blog bias, but the Dutchmen gave the Rams all they could handle twice this year and have the big men to give VCU fits if Larry Sanders gets into foul trouble (which, with an average of 3.7 fouls per game this year, he will).
Drexel over George Mason: In a season in which nothing goes according to plan, a team finishing the regular season in a 1-4 slump and then making the conference title games makes perfect sense. The Dragons, who were a couple decent breaks away from being 14-4, get revenge for the first of their four conference losses by a single point in a strength vs. strength matchup. I just foresee Mason's free throw difficulties catching up to it at some point this weekend. Why not here?
Hofstra over Drexel: Revenge for 1986! Plenty of good seats available.
(I'll also take credit for being right if Old Dominion beats Hofstra and wins its final two games)
Newsday previews the tournament here. So does the Daily News. And the New York Post. And the New York Times. Everyone's climbing aboard! Alas only the Times is down there, and birdies tell me the Dutchmen will need to win at least two games before the other papers even think of sending anyone down to Virginia. Yeah, God forbid the bean counters at Long Island's newspaper cover a Long Island college in its conference tournament.
