PGCE with QTS
A postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) with qualified teacher status (QTS) will allow you to teach in state schools in England and may allow you to teach in other parts of the UK.
It may also allow you to teach overseas, though you should always check what qualifications are needed in the country you'd like to teach in.
Many PGCE courses include credits that count toward a Master's degree.

About the course
The Altius Alliance will ensure that you are trained, coached and mentored by experienced, highly effective practitioners and Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs) to achieve QTS and a PGCE (SCITT) All trainees undertake at least one of the 3 placements at Cheadle Hulme High School and a further placement at another school within our Alliance.
Teachers in the English department at Cheadle Hulme High School are all subject specialists and are supported by a teaching assistant and an administration assistant. The large department includes a central office / subject workroom and two Media teaching rooms that are generously resourced with a suite of Apple Macs. The KS3 curriculum focuses on creativity and challenge. Each student will study Shakespeare; poetry and prose and drama from the English Heritage as well as other cultures; media and non-fiction texts and will be assessed at regular intervals for progress in Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening. Particular attention is given to the teaching of spelling, punctuation and grammar. Embedded into the English curriculum is the Oracy programme enabling all students to develop the skills of effective spoken communication and confidence. At KS4 we deliver two GCSE courses in English Language and Literature; we are using the new AQA specifications. The English department has a full calendar of enrichment activities, clubs and events that run throughout the year: students enjoy participating in both external and internal competitions as well as attending cinema and theatre trips.
The course:
The course runs from September to the end of June. All of the time is spent in schools (apart from 4 days at university to undertake the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (SCITT). The course comprises:
- Generic teacher training
- English pedagogy programme - reflecting the KS3 and KS4 content outlined above
- SEND with mental health programme
- Three assessed teaching placements (11-16)
- Enhancement placements – SEND school, Post 16 and primary placement (unassessed)
- Enrichment opportunities
- PGCE (SCITT) with 60 Masters credits
QTS: This is an evidence based course where trainees are required to maintain and submit files of evidence of meeting the Teachers' Standards (DfE). These files comprise school experience files, formal lesson observations, pedagogy tasks, specific generic and curriculum-based tasks. PGCE (SCITT): Two assignments (5000 words each) at Masters level. 'The SCITT has an excellent reputation for producing NQTs who are confident and competent teachers.' (Ofsted 2017)
Interview process
The selection process will involve an initial application (two references are required to support this application) after which applicants may be asked to attend an Assessment Day.
Successful candidates will be invited for interview at Cheadle Hulme High School. During the process, which lasts for approximately 2 hours, you will be welcomed by a representative of the Alliance and given an overview of the programme.
The interview process comprises 3 elements. 1) Candidates will be observed teaching a short segment of a lesson to a group of pupils. The requirements for this and attainment information about the pupils being taught will have been sent with the invitation for interview. 2) An interview with a member of the SCITT team and a subject lead. 3) A short assessment of literacy and numeracy skills
Candidates will be informed of the outcome of the interview via UCAS within 2 working days.
How school placements work
There are approximately 12 secondary schools in the Alliance across Stockport, Manchester, Tameside and Cheshire. All formal training takes place at Cheadle Hulme High School and the majority of trainees undertake their first assessed teaching placement (11-16) at this school, from September until Christmas.
After Christmas trainees move to another school within the Alliance for their second assessed teaching placement (11-16). As a small provider we endeavour to take account of participants' locations and personal circumstances when arranging second placements.
Around Easter time trainees return to their first placement school; although some opt to remain in their second placement school until the end of the course.
In summary, there are three assessed teaching placements (11-16) over two schools throughout the course and at least one of these takes place at Cheadle Hulme High School. In addition to these placements the trainees spend some time in post 16 and primary environments to experience settings either side of the 11-16 age range. These are called enhancement placements and are not assessed.
Financial support
You'll get a bursary of £12,000 if you have a degree of 2:2 or above in any subject.
You don't have to apply for a bursary - if you're eligible, you'll automatically start receiving it once you begin your course. Find out about eligibility and how you'll be paid.
You may also be eligible for a loan while you study – note that you'll have to apply for undergraduate student finance.
Find out about financial support if you're from outside the UK.
You must already possess, or expect to be awarded, the equivalent of a UK Honors Degree with a minimum 2:2 degree classification. Degree modules must be at least 50% relevant.
You must already have achieved GCSE English Language and Maths grade C or 4 at time of application.
Personal qualities
'Teaching is the most difficult profession of all. The only time a physician comes close to doing what a teacher does is when the doctor faces an emergency room of multiple patients with multiple conditions, all of whom need immediate attention. That's what a teacher deals with every day in a class of 30.' Lee Shulman Adapted from Educational Leadership, Vol 67 (5), February 2010
You need a high standard of personal organisation, a willingness to learn, a passion for your subject and, above all, a desire to work with young people to help them achieve their potential.
Other requirements
Before trainee teachers start their training, they must have
been screened by the Disclosure and Barring Service to make sure they are not barred from working with children and vulnerable adults
been assessed as having the health and physical capacity to teach so that children and young people in their care would not be at risk of harm
About the training provider
The Altius Alliance SCITT provides a school-led route which 'ensures that trainees have the opportunity to hone their practical teaching skills in an intellectually rigorous context. Training balances conceptual understanding with the practical toolkit trainees need to teach in schools.' (Ofsted 2017) The SCITT is a partnership of primary and secondary schools across Greater Manchester, Stockport, Cheshire and Tameside. In 2017 the SCITT was judged to be an outstanding provider of Initial Teacher Training by Ofsted. The SCITT is based at Cheadle Hulme High School (11-18), consistently the highest performing state school in Stockport and judged outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in two successive inspections. All formal primary and secondary training takes place here and all secondary trainees undertake their first and final placements at this school. Primary trainees undertake their assessed placements in one of our Alliance primary schools. The Ofsted report lauded the training programme stating that 'exceptionally well-designed training enables trainees and NQTs to thrive.' The current and former trainees told the inspectors it had been 'a privilege' to train with the SCITT and praised the 'excellent levels of support provided by leaders and managers.' Trainees who successfully complete their training are recommended for qualified teacher status (QTS) 11-16 (secondary) or 5-11 (primary). All gain a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE), with 60 Masters credits, from our partner Manchester Metropolitan University. Choose to train with us if you want 'a robust and rich school-led programme that demands high expectations alongside offering opportunity and challenge.' (Ofsted 2017)
Training with disabilities and other needs
The Altius Alliance is committed to Equal Opportunities for all our applicants. If you have any specific requirements we would be pleased to discuss them with you.

As I fingered the thin metal of the Clover Clamps I couldn't help but scoff from the initial impression it left. "How fucking cheap!" I exclaimed to Maverick who asked what my problem was. Clover clamps are supposed to be the best for nipple torture due to their strong bite and tight hold, but from my initial impression I wasn't sure if they would live up to the hype.
While the thin metal makes the clamps light-weight, it also makes it easier to bend the metal if you're not careful. I really worry about this due to the chain that is attached to the clamps. When you press the sides in (think of a clothespin) to open the teeth there is a part of the opening mechanism that catches and lifts itself up on the chain. This not only creates a problem of possible bending, but makes the clamps difficult to open. Had the hole that the chain is attached to been placed a few millimeters down it wouldn't be a problem.
Once you manage to get the clamps open you'll find that the tips feature rubber pads with nubs. The pads are not there to be your friend. The nubs on the pads insure a nice hold with no give and a strong bite. If you don't have them positioned just so you may find yourself in a whole lot of pain. It definitely takes some experimentation to find out which position and angle works best for. For me, I found that the best position was the traditional approach from the bottom of the nipple.
The bite is strong and enhanced by the 11.5" long chain. I'm not sure how heavy it is, but it definitely adds some weight. The chain isn't just there for looks and weight. Tugging on the chain causes the clamps to tighten. Personally I like to reverse the way the clamps are attached (from the top of the nipple not the bottom) and slip the chain through the o-ring of my collar. This takes a bit of work, but it allows less weight and hanging from the chain for a slightly better experience. I barely managed to squeeze the clamps through the 1"⌀ of the o-ring, so anything smaller than an inch won't work.
The clamps open up to ½" but they are not adjustable and will clamp down tight on both large and small nipples. These are definitely not for beginners and should not be used if the wearer has a low pain tolerance or is breastfeeding. If the clamps are left on for a long period of time they can damage the nerve endings in the nipples, block ducts for breast-feeders, and cause skin swelling and discoloration. The general rule of thumb for all clamps is no longer than ten minutes at a time. Definitely be careful during removal as the pads have a tendency to stick to the skin.
Overall the clover clamps are worth it if you're looking for some hardcore style nipple torture. My only problem with them as I stated was the cheap feel of the metal which may lead to bending and how it catches on the chain when you open them.

Here's a little taste of Hayden through Tenley's eyes:
I glanced up, startled, and found Hayden standing right in front of me, a curious smile playing on his full lips.Beyond the eyebrow ring and the ones piercing the left corner of his bottom lip, the first thing I noticed was his eyes. They were astonishingly blue. Not a sea blue, or a sky blue, or even a grayish blue. They were icy and pale and shockingly intense against his dark hair and thick dark lashes. He was painfully gorgeous in a severe, atypical way. Just like I imagined he'd be. And that was just his face.The dream rushed back, and I stammered out a greeting as images of his face and hands between my thighs flashed in my mind. He was taller than I'd thought, towering over me. He was wearing dark jeans and a short-sleeve T-shirt with an Inked Armor logo stretched across his chest. Hugging the contours of his torso, it highlighted the defined muscles underneath, giving my imagination a more accurate vision of what was under the shirt.
And here's a little visual, because we all know they're so helpful. If you'd like to see more of Stephen James (with more art exposed) you can check him out here:

For future journalistic reference, writers from Britain need to know the following (all these mistakes have appeared this week):
- Cluj is not west of Bucharest (or at least it is only so in the same way that Edinburgh is west of London).
- The name of the team is not CFR Cluj-Napoca. The official name of the city is Cluj-Napoca, but the team is CFR Cluj (or, if you want to go the whole hog CFR 1907 Cluj). Just as the team owned by Italy's slimeball extremist prime minister is AC Milan, not AC Milano.
- Steaua did not lose to Dinamo on the last day of last season to hand the title to CFR Cluj
- Count Dracula was not a real person
- Vlad "the impaler" Ţepeş did not do his impaling in Transylvania, as he spent almost no time here, being in charge in Wallachia, not Transylvania.
- Maurizio Trombetta is a genius (this is not correcting a mistake, just a statement of fact)
[Oh, and by the way, the best written piece on the whole "who are this CFR Cluj team?" question, came unsurprisingly from the best UK football source, When Saturday Comes. No, I didn't write it, in case you're wondering]

| "This way Mighty!"
"No, this way Mac!"
—Mighty and Mac, Clash
Mighty Mac is a powerful but inexperienced double-ended Fairlie duplex locomotive working on the Alun Railway. Mighty, the more gruff of the pair, sports a flick of hair over his forehead, while Mac, the younger, sports freckles.
Bio Edit
Mighty Mac was built at Boston Lodge, in 1886, as one of a number of double-ended locos built for the Ffestiniog Railway over the years. However, the plans changed when Caderyn Gerralt won ownership of Mighty Mac in a drunken card game with the Ffestiniog Railway's dark horse, Charles Easton Spooner and Mighty Mac joined the Alun Railway.
Mighty Mac currently works in the shunting yards, preparing trains and moving trucks and also serves as a lackey to Arwel. In 1905, he met Bertram whom he later assisted Arwel in frightening at the ballast chute.
Persona Edit
Mighty Mac is a powerful but inexperienced engine, easily influenced by those of a more dominant manner, as seen in their loyalty to Arwel. While the pair argue a lot, they are strong when they work together.

ENERCA participated in the 4th Pan European Conference on Haemoglobinopathies & Rare Anaemias held in Athens last 7-9 November 2014 in Athens. This Conference was organized by TIF in collaboration with the Greek Thalassaemia Federation (EOTHA), and was held under the auspices of the Hellenic Society of Haematology and the Greek Ministry of Health. It was brought together stakeholders from 28 Member States to discuss avenues of action, to tackle health inequalities across the EU and the growing public health burden of chronic and rare diseases in Member States. A particular focus was given to patient empowerment as well as new and upcoming policies that are directly or indirectly related to health and quality of life.
Prof. Joan Lluis Vives Corrons, coordinator of the ENERCA network presented the Recommendations for Centres of Expertise in Rare Anaemias which can be found in the ENERCA White Book, soon available in the ENERCA website. Representative of the European Commission- DG-SANCO, Mrs. P. Nenova, presented the Status of EU policies on rare diseases (haemoglobinopathies), especially for the future recognition of the European Reference Networks (ERNs) and highlighted the 10 years of life of ENERCA project.
The scientific programme also covered a session focused on Rare Anaemias that was organized by ENERCA and chaired by the partners, Dr. Patricia Aguilar Martinez and Prof. Béatrice Gulbis, who presented the e-learning and Telemedicine platforms that are currently being developed in e-ENERCA project. Furthermore, an Interactive Clinical Cases Session was also organized in order to give professionals and patients the opportunity to present their case and discuss it with the experts chairing the session.

American friends,
The US election 2016 is a tumultuous time for the American people, with great emotional extremes being experience by all....With diagonally opposing views and fundamental beliefs, being expressed...This is very similar to what we, the British public, went through with our EU membership referendum, which lead to the vote on June 23rd....Which was for BREXIT.
Now it is your turn to take an importance choice, at a crossroads in national and world history.
There are and will be tensions between people...BUT, remain calm....Remain rational and remain peaceful....Of course, we did this, by and large, though chose freely to NOT remain a member of the EU.....History was made....Albeit, even now, some diehard Remainers (we also say "Remoaners") seek to thwart the democratic will...However, we for Brexit will prevail, as you in America will, too....A vote for Trump is a vote against the elite power matrix...Not the end goal, but a step in the right direction.
Hillary Clinton is but the tip of a vast iceberg of corruption and you are destined to drain the swamp, in Washington DC....As we will most certainly and confidently drain away the powers of Brussels...It has been chosen, so it is, so it will be...PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN...
Be calm and collected under these immense energies....They do lead to a greater dispensation for our mutual cultures, our Anglo-sphere of national alliances.
Blessings of PEACE.

It seems to depend on each person's awakening, rather than being "Europeans." Many of we Britons consider ourselves of Europe, rather than in Europe....We seek a return to something like PM Benjamin Disraeli's policy of "splendid isolation," as we were before King Edward VII's 1904; "Entente Cordiale," with France. Better for our freedoms, treasure and blood, history proves.
We have always swapped priorities this way, as an island nation...now we turn outward again, to the wider world and away from European political concerns....
Drekx, are the Europeans seeing through the fake news as you do, or are they buying into it?
VERY IMPORTANT for all American citizens to get to their polling stations and vote for Trump, this Fall [Autumn.] The demonic dems have NO SANE CANDIDATES and may even dump sleepy Joe Biden, replacing him with [oh no..!] Hillary, or Michelle, as the nominee. Don't fall for it, even if you advocate that "America needs a female President." The Democrats are evil, never trust them...
The message of the hour for this election year.
No coincidences I came to your page on my life number being the same as the number of views...Me being the number 538...Interesting...Yes Drekx...Time is irrelevant...This will be applicable to any election year as long as it is for the betterment of Americans, the Republic and all the countries of the world which will follow suit in the Peace and Prosperity...Blessings Drekx Omega...
Thanks for saying so, Amparo....from 2016 and we can apply anew, for this election year...
Drekx you should repost this...It is very good...Blessings
Vote Trump 2020...Voting for any "Democrat" candidate is voting for dark globalism....
alex jones; cease groundless attacks on q-anon, potus and intel patriots..get over being exposed for a sore looser, seeking exclusive rights to intel...you have no monopoly on truth....you're only a journalist, not a soldier...d.o.
trust the plan, jerome corsi. less weak and wobbly, more faith and courage. less book sales chat [like h.r.c.] more selfless patriotism. wwg1wga.....d.o.

Even if you aren't in the financial sector you have to pay attention to the markets. Knowing when to invest in the stock market or grow your business depends on your knowledge of which way the economy is headed, and basic economic indicators like foreclosures, housing starts, and bankruptcies can give you a basic understanding of which way the economy is going to be moving in the near future.
Additional information can also be helpful when you are looking at these economic indices, because oftentimes one or more of the historical indices will be in conflict with each other. This is where additional information can help you interpret what is actually going on. Legal indices are a great way to interpret when housing starts and foreclosures are in conflict with each other. Law indices track legal intakes for things like bankruptcies and foreclosures, and if there is a sudden surge in foreclosures at the same time housing starts are going up that can indicate that, rather than people newly struggling to pay bills, people are ready to end their financial difficulties and move on with their lives. This would, in turn, indicate that the economy is moving in an upward direction after all.
Legal indices have been compiled from law firm intakes across the country for fifteen years and can be especially helpful to businesses or personal investors. Paying attention to the economy is not only for those in the financial sector – everyone needs to understand what is happening in the economy so they can make better financial and business decisions. Learn more about law indices from this infographic from Legal Shield!
The LegalShield Law Index is a suite of leading indicators of the economic and financial status of U.S. household and small business. These indicators predict the direction that the economy is headed, and will help you to make smarter investments and better business decisions. We're happy to present you this data for the first time in infographic form:

Elder Patriot – As evidence continues to surface following the shooting rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas H.S. more questions have been raised about Broward Country Sheriff Scott Israel than have been answered.
- Why did the first four of his deputies to arrive at the scene huddle outside the school instead of rushing to the aid of the besieged students?
- What is the sheriff's relationship with violent Muslim radicals that we raised questions about yesterday?
Now questions about Sheriff Israel's official timeline have arisen in the aftermath of MSD HS teacher, Stacy Lippel's interview with ABC's Good Morning America.
"I suddenly saw the shooter about twenty feet in front of me standing at the end of the hallway actively shooting down the hallway, just a barrage of bullets, and I'm staring at him thinking why are the police here, this is strange because he's in full metal garb, helmet, face mask, bulletproof armor, shooting this rifle that I've never seen before." – Stacy Lippel
Now let's take a look at Sheriff Israel's official timeline as reported more than 24 hours later by ABC affiliate Local 10 News:
2:19 p.m. – Uber driver drops off Nikolas Cruz at the school at 5901 NW Pine Island Road in Parkland.
2:21 p.m. – Cruz enters the east stairwell with a rifle inside a black soft case. He exits the stairwell after pulling the rifle out of the case.
2:21:33 p.m. – Cruz begins shooting at classrooms 1215, 1216 and 1214.
Here is a map of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas campus.
- The pin drop marks the location that Cruz was dropped off by his Uber driver.
Now let's return to the official timeline as illustrated by CNN:
At 2:19 p.m., a gold-colored Uber vehicle dropped Nikolas Cruz off at the school he once attended. A school employee recognized him and alerted a colleague that the former student was "walking purposefully" toward a school building.
"Walking purposefully," not running. That means that within two minutes Cruz walked the length of two buildings, put on full body armor (if Stacy Lippel's account is correct), readied his rifle, triggered a fire alarm, and began shooting.
That's a whole lot that has to happen in two minutes. The timeline makes a lot more sense is the person in full body armor wasn't Nikolas Cruz but a second shooter who has not been identified.
A student who was interviewed in the immediate aftermath of the shootings certainly believed that there had been second shooter:
Maybe the timeline offered by Sheriff Israel is inaccurate but so much of everything that Israel has said in the aftermath has been agenda driven that he's become unbelievable.
There is no contention from this corner that the killings and carnage are real. So are Sheriff Israel's past relationships with radical Islamists and his strident gun control agenda in the wake of this tragedy.
Why hasn't the possibility that Cruz had become radicalized been addressed especially following this Instagram post?
Was there a second shooter? If so, who was it?
This investigation is beginning to stink as badly as the Harvest 91 massacre in Las Vegas last October where the possibility of Saudi involvement was never addressed.
Since President Trump's election we have become acutely aware of the extent of corruption that Obama sycophants at every level of the government, and in the mainstream media and Hollywood, have been prepared to go to destroy Donald Trump, end the Second Amendment, and to promote the spread of Islam in America. It's as though no level of deception or illegality is off the board.
What aren't we being told?

Question asked on life 1 year ago
Changing history?
If you had the ability to change only one event in human history what would you change and why?
Answer written 1 year ago
This question is so tricky because we don't know how going back in time works. While many scientists have theorized about this idea, we still have no idea if going back in time and doing so little as stepping on a butterfly on accident could change the fate of the human race. But let's say time didn't work like that, and you could change major events without having too much of an effect on the future. If time was more like that, I would probably try to go back to as many places as possible, and warn people of scams. Most people would probably respond with wanting to stop a catastrophic event like 9/11, but these catastrophic events and what we do after them is what defines us as humans. If it weren't for these events, we would not have set up half the saftey measures we have today. Scams are relatively small compared to the grand scheme of things, so this shouldn't have too much of an effect on human history. It would save people money, but everyone would forget about it eventually and it wouldn't change too much.

If I had the opportunity to change one event in human history, it will be the Sosoliso Airlines crash that happened in my country 22 Oct 2005. It was so painful. Till date, it still remains the most fatal plane crash in the history of Nigeria killing 108 passengers on board the plan mostly children going home to their families including a very popular Pastor Bimbo. Only two people survived the crash. The painful part is that the cause of the crash is still unknown. It was a very painful moment for all Nigerians. So, yeah, if I had the opportunity the change or stop that awful crash, I would gladly do it without blinking
Answer written 1 year ago
HISTORY can happen brutally, boring, and at the same time interesting, it all depends on who the people are doing. But did you know that some of the most important and most horrific events in human history are the result of small inconceivable mistakes and sometimes just accidental results.
A number of major events in history are also associated with a number of small events that began.
Here are the little things that can change the history of the world quoted from the page wonderlist.com and listverse.com
1. Penicillin was discovered by chance
Penicillin antibiotics are the first and most important antibiotics that can be effective against bacterial infections. However, the story of his discovery is also quite amazing.
It turned out that a Scottish scientist named Alexander Fleming was experimenting with staphylococcus, then he went on vacation for two weeks. Interestingly he left staphylococcus in a Petri dish.
2. Safety Glass was created accidentally
Safety laminated glass was accidentally discovered by French chemist Edouard Benedictus.
He found a safety glass after a laboratory accident when he discovered a laboratory glass was not broken into pieces after being coated with cellulose nitrate plastic. Now, safety laminated glass is used in cars and houses that have glass partitions. When he returned, he witnessed one of the most amazing events in the history of medicine. He noticed that staphylococcus was contaminated with green blue fungus from an open window, more importantly bacteria could not grow near the fungus.
3. One key lost can actually save Titanic
David Blair was a sailor of a merchant ship who was appointed White Star Line shipping company in 1912 as the second officer of the Titanic. He participated in a trial of the most luxurious ship cruise of his time.
A few days before the voyage, Blair was replaced by a more senior sailor, Henry Wilde.
In a hurry to leave, Blair intentionally carries the ship's locker locker key. Inside are binoculars, which, if used, might prevent the Titanic tragedy which killed 1,500 people. Some people suspect that the missing key will change the course of history that day. However, not everyone is sure.
Because, if indeed binoculars are vital objects, the crew can damage the locker or look for other binoculars.
Moreover, there are many theories about the end of the Titanic. Even so, many people still consider the key historical value. The object was sold in the auction in 2010 for US $ 137 thousand.
4. The biggest fire in California is the fault of a missing person
In 2003, the biggest fire in California history known as the Cedar fire burned 3,200 square kilometers of land in San Diego, causing property damage worth 27 million dollars and killing around 15 people.
The fire was actually caused by a hunter named Sergio Martinez, who got lost while hunting. He lit a fire to signal to the savior, but the unusual environmental conditions made the fire burn bigger and bigger
5. Power outages in New York
A popular myth emerged that the extinction in the US Northeast Region in 1965, which affected 30 million people, caused a spike in the birth rate which increased nine months later.
Meanwhile, many have linked the 1977 blackout in New York to the popularity of hip-hop. On July 13, 1977, most of New York City and its surroundings were affected by a power outage.
That happened when the city nicknamed the Big Apple was affected by the fiscal crisis, experienced a severe heat wave, and was under the threat of David Berkowitz, aka Son of Sam - serial killer.
Tension also increases. As many as 31 settlements were victims of looting and vandalism. Among looters, there are many DJs and 'b-boys' who see power cuts as a golden opportunity to "acquire" new sound processing equipment.
Hip-hop has actually been around for several years. However, its development is limited, it is still limited in small communities. After a power outage, there appeared 'a thousand new DJs'.
6. Almost no East India Company (East India Company)
Robert Clive, a governor general of Bengal at the East India Company, was one of the people responsible for the establishment of an East India company.
He led the battle against French troops and came out with victory, which later proved to be the most important victory for the company. In fact, Robert Clive tried to commit suicide when he was 19 years old, but failed, and later became one of the most prominent figures in the company.
7. Napoleon barely became a Frenchman
Napoleon was a French military and political leader, famous during the French revolution, and led several successful campaigns.
Because of his outstanding achievements, brave personality, and invincible influence in the world, he remains one of the most famous and controversial figures in human history.
But none of this would have happened had he not been French, and according to historians he was hardly a Frenchman. The island that belonged to him, became the island of France three months before the birth of Napoleon.
8. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed because of misunderstood words
One of the misinterpreted words that pushed the president's decision Harry S. Truman ordered to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
When the reporter asked the Japanese Prime Minister "Kantaro Suzuki" about Potsdam's statement to give up unconditionally during World War II, he replied with the word "Mokusatsu", which means "no comments".
Unfortunately, the word has many meanings and some people translate it with "we ignore the declaration". About 10 days later the bomb was dropped.

Answer written 1 year ago
Honestly, history is filled with so much dreadful events that it's really hard to decide which one to prevent. The tragedy is seen everywhere in history. We've had millions of people died because of political, ethnic and even religious wars, famines have wiped out whole populations, Tsunamis, floods and earthquakes just to name a few. But these are all those events that have directly affected people's lives. Calamities have also been seen in other very important aspects of life. Rulers have burnt libraires, a treasure of human intellect and religious and ethnic fanatics have hanged open minded and free thinking scholars.
Looking at all these horrible events in the history it's very hard to decide which one is the most dreadful. I mean how can we compare a tragedy with a tragedy. So, I am sorry but I can't pick just one such tragedy and say this should be changed. But, what we all can do is prevent such things from happening in the future.

The Lady Vikings traveled to Concrete High School to play some basketball on Feb. 5.
The team faced The Concrete Lions with nothing but intensity and positivity. The game was extremely physical and our girls never let up. We would receive a shove and use that to fuel a basket. It was basket after basket for our Lady Vikings.
Commonly it is said that blood, sweat and tears are what goes into something you care about so much, I am proud to say that The Lady Vikings have everything but tears as they came out on top with the win. This was our last league game. This season has been full of so much love and energy.

Would-be Congresswoman likes 'assault rifle' ban in private, plays coy in public (VIDEO)
By Chris Eger
A Democratic candidate to represent New York in Congress was caught on camera shying away from a public call for a gun ban, saying it would hurt her chances at election.
Tedra Cobb, running to unseat incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik for the 21st Congressional District of New York, was secretly taped during a conversation on gun policy, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
Cobb said she thinks "assault rifles" should be banned but elaborates that she couldn't share the opinion as part of her official platform. The candidate then says Moms Demand Action advised her not to call for such a ban as it would hurt her chances to win the district held by Stefanik for the past two terms.
The Bloomberg group is refuting the exchange to a degree with Kay Folmar, Everytown's communication director, telling The Times-Union that their volunteer "spoke to Cobb about gun violence prevention, but did not encourage or direct her on how to discuss the specific gun safety policies she supports."
While Cobb's platform, published in April, includes a wide range of proposed increased gun regulations and a ban on bump stocks, it falls short of endorsing wider prohibition on some semi-automatic firearms.
Cobb recently took a "no

Lions hold off Patriots in girls basketball
By Bill Landon
The Patriots girls basketball team got off to a slow start trailing 15-1 early in the first quarter Dec. 17 and even though they rallied back, in the end it was too little too late as Longwood edged Ward Melville 68-65.
Lauren Hansen, above left, had the hot hand for the Patriots at the home game, leading her team with three triples, three field goals and a pair of free throws for 17 points. Bre Cohn, below left, followed with three field goals, a triple netting three from the line tallied 12 points. Jamie Agostino, above right, banked 11. Below right, Ward Melville senior Noelle Richardson drives the lane.
The loss drops Ward Melville to 1-1 in league play 3-1 overall. The Patriots are back in action when they hit the road for another league matchup Dec. 19 against Sachem North. Results were not available at press time.

How Your Organisation Can Prevent Fraud
Every year, businesses lose around 5% of annual revenues to fraud. This is an issue that continues to grow in importance as the risks multiply. For many organisations, it's insiders who can pose some of the biggest issues when it comes to fraud – in fact almost three quarters of companies have found themselves a victim of fraud that was insider-led. So, what are the most significant threats when it comes to insider fraud and how can you protect your organisation?
Fraud – the key threats
Issues at work
Job dissatisfaction has been identified as one of the major reasons that may motivate organisation insiders to commit fraud. If employees don't feel like they are being treated well or adequately rewarded, for example, some may feel that committing fraud against the business is entirely justified.
Financial difficulties
Individuals who are going through their own personal financial problems are the most likely to commit insider fraud, according to industry research. Those who are living beyond their means are a big risk group, as are employees with financial difficulties stemming from something like addiction or relationship problems.
Unfortunately, many organisations are still not fully aware of the threats that fraud presents and this means there are lots of opportunities for those looking to commit it. From unlocked recycling bins from which documents and data can simply be removed, to unmonitored corporate credit cards and theft of business devices, there are many ways in which insiders can take advantage of organisations that are unprepared.
How your organisation can prevent fraud
There are a number of ways that organisations can prevent fraud, with minimal effort, but maximum effectiveness. Just a few of these are:
Monitor and audit
Make sure there are systems in place to regularly check, monitor and audit processes to look out for anomalies that could indicate fraudulent behaviour.
Create a positive business culture
Look for ways to ensure employees are engaged with the business and invested in its success. If they feel happy and valued, staff are far less likely to commit fraud, no matter what their individual circumstances.
Be clear that fraud isn't tolerated
Create unambiguous fraud policies, write guidelines into staff handbooks and contracts and ensure that you are clear and consistent about where the boundaries lie for staff – and what the consequences are for anyone who crosses them.
Turn your workforce into an alert force
Train staff and management to look out for the signs of fraud and provide an easy way for anyone to notify of potentially fraudulent behaviour.
Be vigilant with technology
Make sure that company computers and devices are being properly used and returned when no longer required.
Create data monitoring systems
Make sure you have a comprehensive document management system in place and an infrastructure to handle the disposal of files and papers. For example, use a trusted shredding service to ensure destruction of documents containing business or personal data and ensure that papers are kept in lockable bins before being collected.
On-site shredding has a crucial role to play in helping to avoid opportunistic insider fraud, no matter what your business or industry.

VR-B3 review by Nik Marcos
"Vintage Reflection Series" VR-B3 Pickup Review
For some time now I was trying to express through my bass guitar the sound which I have in my head, the sound that I would like to hear coming through the speakers of my bass cabinet. Through the years I was experimenting with different basses and pickups as well as with amplifiers and cabinets…On that journey I found my bass, my amp as well as bass cabs but I was missing that small peace of puzzle but of a huge importance for the tone. I was missing right pickups…
…In one small music shop I was spending some time trying different basses and they had one used bass which had amazing tone and it was equipped with Tesla pickups! To be honest, did not know much about the company so in the same day I went to Tesla website to learn more. After checking them out I contacted company directly and told them that I would like to try and use their pickups and asked if they are open for cooperation…I just had to have them in my bass guitars! Thanks to people from Tesla company I am doing this review for you now.
VR-B3 Pickup…on vintage 1983 Yamaha PB bass
Soon after I received a beautiful designed package with VR-B3 and VR-B2 pickups (Please also check my previous review for VR-B2 http://www.teslapickups.com/?reviews=vr-b2-review-by-nik-marcos), both pickups are from "Vintage Reflection Series" and as I opened it I was surprised with high quality made, plastic looked very tough and the finish is great. I was very excited and could not wait to install them in my bass…
After successful wiring (used very easy to read and helpful wiring diagram available on Tesla website) I turned up a volume and tone and played few notes…and the sound blow me away it was a massive improvement from the pickups that came with the bass and definitely more than I expected from "P" pickup…smooth vintage tone with massive low end and nice warm growl, full frequency spectrum and it gives you a lot more personality…that was the sound I was looking for…Vintage tone on a vintage bass guitar but modern sounding!
Next, I recorded it a little in my home studio and was amazed how well cuts through the mix and how even the sound was from sting to string…no hum or buzz…great versatile tone for different styles of playing…and they make your bass sound amazing!!!
For your information the VR-B3 pickups are carefully made with heavy Formvar copper wire, Alnico 5 pole piece magnets, a fiber bobbin and cloth covered wire. Equipped with 2 wire leads! For more details and specification please go to http://www.teslapickups.com/?products=vr-b3
Final words…
As a rock / heavy bass player I highly recommend Tesla "Vintage Reflection" VR-B3 pickup to all of you who are looking for that unique 60s and 70s vintage bass tone, high quality pickups for great price and no meter what style of music you play I am sure that you will love them from the first tone!
I would also like to thank to all the great people from Tesla company for their quick action and full support!
And to wrap it up with few very important words for you…No Tesla – No Power!

A man who was fatally shot on Royal Court several months ago was allegedly gunned down by a pimp soon after the victim met a prostitute for sex, according to documents recently filed in Clark County Superior Court.
The documents included an Athens-Clarke County police detective's affidavits in support of search warrants for the phone records of suspects in the homicide.
According to the affidavits, 32-year-old Rodriguez Apollo Rucker had been communicating with Andrea Paige Browner, an alleged prostitute.
Browner, 24, of Hallmark Estates and Rucker agreed to meet Dec. 14 at Days Inn, according to the search warrant affidavits.
"(Browner) told him in a text message that it would be $80 for a QV, or a quick visit," the affidavits noted. "Rucker negotiated it to $70."
Browner instructed Rucker to go to the North Finley Street motel and she would tell him what room she was in when he arrived, the affidavits noted. Police said Browner had checked into the motel with a phone number registered to her alleged pimp and Rucker's accused killer, 30-year-old Philmon Deshawn Chambers of Dunwoody.
Detectives learned that Rucker used the Lyft ride service to get to the motel and later return to his home on Royal Court,
"The Lyft app indicated that (Rucker) was dropped off at 3:12 p.m.," according to the affidavits. "About five minutes later police began receiving 911 calls" that someone had been shot on Royal Court.
According to police, witnesses told detectives they saw the driver of a black pickup truck with a long wheel base, a black bumper and aftermarket wheels shoot Rucker. They were not able to see the driver himself, police said.
The Lyft driver indicated she saw a black pickup in the area when she dropped off Chambers on Royal Court, according to the affidavits.
When reviewing video from downtown surveillance cameras, investigators noticed that same pickup had followed the Lyft vehicle that was driving Rucker from Days Inn toward his home in east Athens, according to the search warrant affidavits. The truck was also videoed by surveillance cameras in the vicinity of the shooting.
Detectives subsequently determined that Chambers owned a black Chevrolet pickup, and in early February police said the truck was found at an Atlanta apartment.
Atlanta police had received multiple "hits" for the tag on Chamber's truck with automated license readers in the vicinity of the complex where the truck was found, according to Capt. Jerry Saulters of the Athens-Clarke County police Criminal Investigations Division.
"Detectives began to ping Chambers' and Browner's phones and saw that they had fled to Texas," with both phones moving along the same route, according to the search warrant affidavits.
Police in Athens guided police in Texas to where the phones were pinging in Mt. Enterprise. Local police arrested Browner in Mt. Enterprise on March 6, but Chambers and another male fled to Killeen, Texas, where the murder suspect was arrested later that same day.
Browner was initially charged with prostitution, but the charge was later upgraded to felony murder.
Though affidavits note that detectives determined that Chambers and Browner "are in a relationship," Saulters confirmed that Chambers was the Athens woman's alleged pimp.
Saulters said investigators believed they knew the motive for Rucker being fatally shot, as well as the role Browner played in the crime, but added that police were not releasing that information as the investigation was ongoing.
Browner was immediately returned to Athens and booked into the Clarke County Jail. Chambers last week was extradited from Texas to face malice murder and related charges.

Let's get ready to rumble!
The restructuring continues in .com-ville as Amazon.com, the world's largest e-tailer, announced yesterday it's laying off 150 employees, or 2 percent of its staff.
The move comes as investors are looking harder at the bottom line of Internet companies.
The cuts come on the heels of layoffs at e-tailers Value America, boo.com and Beyond.com, whose CEO resigned.
They also follow news that theglobe.com founders Todd Krizelman, 26, and Stephan Paternot, 25, would step down as chief executives of the one-time Wall Street darling, whose stock has been hammered. Theglobe.com promoted COO Dean Daniels to President and are starting to search for a new CEO.
In January, Amazon.com, under Chairman Jeff Bezos, said its record $650 million in holiday season revenue wouldn't cut losses for the quarter. Amazon.com will disclose the size of its fourth-quarter loss Wednesday.
The job cuts may indicate that new Chief Financial Officer Warren Jenson is making Amazon.com more disciplined, analyst Ron Sachs at Janus Capital Corp. told Bloomberg. Janus is Amazon.com's largest investor after founder Jeff Bezos.
Amazon.com shares fell $5.25, or 7.8 percent, to $61.68.
At theglobe.com, execs downplayed the changes.
"We're just as committed as we've ever been," said Paternot. He and Krizelman emphasized they weren't leaving the company, but would continue to work on product development, international expansion and product acquisition.
The Silicon Alley community site soared ten-fold its first day on the market back in November 1998, although it's been hovering in the single-digits in recent weeks.
"Todd and Stephan presided over the company when investors saw its valuation decrease ten-fold," said Mark Mooridian, senior analyst with Jupiter Communications. "Everyone would agree this is a good step to instill investors' confidence."
Theglobe.com fell $1.06 to $7.94.
Many community sites, such as Xoom.com, Tripod and AngelFire, were acquired, which analysts expect of theglobe.com as well. "As a stand-alone company, I don't think it's viable," said Mooridian.

For the experienced lifter it can be torture to take a day off from training. For many of us though we do not train 6 or 7 times a week, but for even those who only lift 3 to 4 times a week, the way that you attack or lack on your recovery days make a difference.
Do you work out hard 3-4 times a week, but on your off days, treat every meal as a cheat meal? Or maybe you drink on your off days. It is widely known that overconsumption of alcohol kills your gains in the weight room.
It is time to start focusing on our recovery days. The way you handle these days really do affect your ability to grow and gain muscle. Those who train 6 to 7 days a week could actually be hindering their growth and see less gains than those who train 4 to 5 times a week? Overtraining is real and has a negative effect on your overall goals.
Do not think of it as an off day, think of it as a Recovery Day. On recovery days you are allowing your muscles to grow from the time spent in the gym. When you take these strategic recovery days you will build more muscle and you will get your nervous system back in order.
The fact of the matter is that your recovery days are crucial for your body, they allow your body to go through its process to grow new muscle. On your recovery days make sure you are taking time to stay hydrated and get rest. We have talked in the past about the 2 Most Overlooked Elements of Training: Sleep and Hydration, found here.
Make sure Recovery Days give you the opportunity to re-hydrate and catch up on rest if needed. Also another key factor for recovery days is nutrition. Make sure if you are on a meal plan or diet, or even if your not, to keep your protein intake high, avoid fatty and fried foods. The only thing that these do are slow down your system and kill growth.
For those who overtrain make sure to look at and attack your Recovery Days as a way to get better and see more growth and gains. You could call these as Gain Days. Those who train less, make sure you are maximizing these Recovery Days and eating well, and preparing yourself to crush your next workout. Whichever end of the spectrum you are on make sure you get the most out of your Recovery Days.
Attack each day, hustle, and move weight!

A HUNDRED individuals taking temporary refuge at the Ibaan, Batangas Evacuation Center, after being displaced by the Taal Volcano eruption, signed up for the TVET Training to Employment program, a venture sponsored by CFC ANCOP in partnership with DMCI, the Archdiocese of Lipa and Couples for Christ.
Thursday, February 20, 2020
On January 12, just as everyone was still on the height of celebrating the start of a new decade, 2020 brought us one of its surprises no one expected—the Taal Volcano eruption. On its first day of volcanic activity, it spewed tons of ashes that greatly affected Batangas, and has reached nearby provinces and even parts of Metro Manila. This caused a lot of damage to the homes and livelihood of the residents, displacing thousands of them to different evacuation centers all over Batangas province.

Last week was for relaxation and reconnecting with family. After festival last weekend, I drove the short 20 minutes to the Atlanta Airport where I reluctantly left Bertha to the mercies of long term parking and hopped a plane to Minneapolis, MN.
No really, it was as easy as that, I've never had a flight go so smoothly. The walk from the economy parking area to the airport was short. Getting checked in and through security was speedy. Finding my terminal and gate was painless. Boarding was a piece of cake. The plane left early, and there was no turbulence to speak of. I made it off the plane and to where my parents were waiting about five minutes before the plane was even due to land. It was that simple. If only all flights went like this.
The rest of Monday afternoon was spent driving to a real Wisconsin cheese factory, I had orders to fill back in Atlanta. There's nothing like fresh cheese, the stuff you buy in grocery stores just can't compare. The name of the place is Wisconsin Dairy State Cheese Company, it's less than an hour from where my parents live and where my family has been procuring fresh cheese for all of my life. Mmm, cheese…
Ahem, where was I?
Tuesday was hang around the house day. It would have been hike behind the house day, but the mosquitoes are horrendous this year because of the heavy rainfall for the past two months. I find it to be very odd going "home" after spending so many years away. Some things haven't changed at all, and I can almost believe that the clock has been turned back and I'm in high school again. But some things have changed and because I wasn't around to witness the change it seems jarring and out of place. I love my parents dearly and it's great going home every now and then, but I know I couldn't go back to living in Wisconsin Rapids. I've outgrown the place.
Wednesday was fishing day. After a bit of a scramble through the unwieldy Wisconsin licensing web page, I found myself $10 poorer but in possession of a one day fishing license. My dad is still an avid fisherman and I have fond memories as a kid of heading out with him and my brother trout fishing in streams, or pan fishing from the family fishing boat. And a lot of memories of getting my fishing line tangled up in trees. Today was the second kind of fishing.
Our main target is bluegills, which normally this time of year would be making their spawning beds in the shallows of the lakes near my parent's house, but because of the late spring their season is running a bit behind. Still, we brought home 13 keepable sized ones, and probably had two or three more that met the guidelines to be kept but were a bit smaller so they were released back to get bigger. For just my mom and dad, 13 bluegills is about 3 ½ meals, not a bad catch at all. Oh, and I'd also like to note that I did not get caught up in a tree, but that my dear father did, so there!
Thursday was picnic day. My brother took two days of vacation and arrived in time for it. We (and by "we", I mean my mother) packed everything up and we headed out to a different lake that has a little day use park. A trail runs along one side of the lake, and after cooking and eating our pudgy pies* my brother and I walked along the shore and enjoyed the cool and less humid weather and a breeze strong enough to keep the mosquitoes away. At least, I thought it was cool and dry, everything seems cooler and drier after Georgia the past couple weeks.
Friday was fly back day. Everyone drove out to Minneapolis to take me back to the airport, and on the way there we stopped at Norske Nook for a slice of their world famous pie. Some years ago they had the distinction of winning a Grand Championship for their strawberry cheesecake pie, although over half of their 64(!) different kinds of pie have won a blue ribbon somewhere or other. I had the blueberry, and it was most excellent.
Back at the airport, TSA pulls aside my carry on bag for review as I go through security. After confirming that my cheese is not plastic explosives, I'm waved through and have almost an exact repeat of the flight out. It must be some sort of miracle to make it on two consecutive flights with no delays or issues. As the plane descends into Atlanta, small thunderstorm cells in the vicinity make for a great photo opportunity. I love flying. About 90% of the people on both flights spent it sleeping, reading, or dinking around on their phones. I spent a good bit of it plastered to the window looking at the world below. It's such a different perspective, one that can't be replicated through any other means.
Bertha was exactly as I left her. I drive 20 minutes home to Cas and then spent the last two days immersed in closing weekend at the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
I sang, danced, laughed, and teared up a little at the end. I've made some great friends whom I'll keep in touch with long after Georgia disappears in my rear view mirror, which is coming up tomorrow.
Tomorrow, yikes! A lot of my fellow rennies were very emotional to see the end of our season, and I was too, but I am also excited. Because for a full-time RVer, the end of one adventure heralds the beginning of a new one!
For those who are curious, no I do not have my next job pinned down yet, although I'm getting close. While this freaks my parents out, I'm confident enough in my abilities now to know that I will land a job before it becomes an issue. Remember, the whole of the country is a viable place to job search when your house has wheels. My immediate goal is Yantis, TX to pay Larry at Little House Customs a visit to work on aligning my hitch better. My appointment there is this Friday. My job search area is between there and Reno Nevada where I'll be due in by the end of September. It's alright everyone, I've got this.
My computer is refusing to boot up unless it's plugged in which will make updating from the road a little harder, but I should at least be able to post on Friday once I get in to Larry's shop. In the meantime, I'll try to get a photo or two of my travels though Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana up on the Facebook page. Have a good week all!

The Literature in Prison program took place from January – July 2016 at the Broad River Correctional Institute in Columbia. Fifteen inmates participated in the monthly reading and discussion opportunity, experiencing classic works of literature such as Of Mice and Men, The Odyssey, and Othello. South Carolina Humanities supported this program with a Fast Track Literary Grant.
The goal of the Literature in Prison program was to introduce inmates to serious works of literature in order to improve their literacy, awareness of the world, and empathy. Recent studies have shown that reading literature increases empathy for other human beings, something that many inmates' previous experiences in and out of prison have deadened.
The participating inmates read and discussed seven books: Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck), The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway), A Lesson Before Dying (Ernest J. Gaines), Great Expectations (Charles Dickens), Othello (Shakespeare), Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Philip K. Dick), and The Odyssey (Homer). They also were able to keep a copy of each book.
Project Director Nancy Kreml said: "I think {the program} was very successful in ways that are difficult to measure or report on. The men were engaged and enthusiastic and thought seriously about the books and the questions they raised. And they are lending them to other inmates."
It is hoped that the project will continue at Broad River Correctional Institute and possibly also expand to other institutions. For more information about Literature in Prison, please contact Nancy Kreml at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The mission of SC Humanities is to enrich the cultural and intellectual lives of all South Carolinians. Established in 1973, this 501(c) 3 organization is governed by a volunteer 22-member Board of Directors comprised of community leaders from throughout the state. It presents and/or supports literary initiatives, lectures, exhibits, festivals, publications, oral history projects, videos and other humanities-based experiences that directly or indirectly reach more than 250,000 citizens annually.

|Customer Service
NordVPN offers a complete service in an intuitive client that combines great looks with customizable features so that both VPN beginners and experienced users can always get the best out of the solution. The preconfigured settings are perfect for most users and because the servers are easily accessible on the main page and filtered by location, speed or type (such as P2P, double VPN, dedicated IP etc.), nothing needs to be set beforehand. However, the most demanding users can always resort to HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies or unlock the advanced settings to change connection protocols, set up custom DNS, and access other features that alter the overall behavior of the VPN.
And while NordVPN is surely great as a whole, if there's something that stands outs when looking at its individual parts, then it's the impressive investment in security.
Noteworthy Security Investments
Most VPNs nowadays already have their own share of security features, with kill switches and protection against DNS leaks, ads, and malware being some of the most common. But having these integrated into the software is not always conducive to them actually working properly, so it's truly a charm to see that with NordVPN everything is reliable and runs flawlessly. Our tests showed no problems with DNS leaks and the kill switch also proved worthy of praise since not only does it cut the internet off from the device but it also kills any selected apps when the VPN connection drops, which is great news for anyone using NordVPN for P2P sharing, for instance.
The unique double data encryption is one of the company's biggest achievements, though, with AES-256-CBC type protection being applied twice to the data transferred between the servers that support it. Naturally, this has a negative impact on speed – even though our tests were surprisingly even – but it's a feature that is still not very common these days and which certainly deserves highlighting.
The browser extensions haven't been ignored by NordVPN either as they block WebRTC and also benefit from CyberSec – a feature that's available in the desktop client, too – which acts as an ad blocker and protects against malware, phishing and other threats.
VPN Network
NordVPN holds some pretty impressive numbers: 5,100+ servers in over 60 different countries, even including some locations that are not so commonly seen such as New Zealand, Israel, Costa Rica, South Korea, Hong Kong, and more. Still, South Africa is the only representative of its continent and as a company headquartered in Central America it's quite surprising to see few servers in that location, too.
Running tests from Europe, the overall results show that speeds are consistent within different servers in the same region. The biggest surprise was Costa Rica which, despite the understandably high ping, produced better results than some of our closest locations. A possible explanation for is that, while still an ocean away, it's the closest available server to NordVPN's headquarters in Panama, and the low server traffic when testing likely helped as well.
NordVPN Costa Rica Speed Test
NordVPN Indonesia Speed Test
NordVPN Ireland Speed Test
NordVPN UK Speed Test on Double VPN Server
The other locations produced the expected results, but a word of praise must be given to the double VPN servers, which don't weigh too heavily on the connection. As showed in the results, connecting to Dublin and London produced arguably the same numbers – which is natural given their geographical proximity – however, the latter used a double VPN server with the traffic routed through the Netherlands first. The only letdown was Indonesia, paying the price for its long distance even on a direct connection.
As mentioned earlier, there were no problems regarding DNS leaks and IP addresses were always attributed correctly, too.
Privacy Protection
Next to its outstanding desktop clients, apps, and overall clear and straightforward service, it's in privacy where NordVPN really shines. Truth being told, there aren't many VPN protocols to choose from in the advanced settings, but those that are available are the most reliable: OpenVPN (TCP and UDP) and IKEv2. In addition, NordVPN uses the high-standard AES 256-bit encryption and it's important to stress once again that this is applied twice on double VPN servers. Further contributing to this great picture of safety is NordVPN's strict no-log policy and since the company runs operations from Panama where "there are no mandatory data retention laws" – as stated on the official website – this can be considered trustworthy.
OS, Device Support
NordVPN is a true multiplatform solution since the range of supported devices includes not only the world's most popular operating systems but some other alternatives, too, alongside the benefit of a maximum of six simultaneous connections under the same account. For computers and laptops, Windows users will need at least XP to install the VPN app, while on macOS the minimum version is 10.12. Linux is supported through OpenVPN or IKEv2/IPSec and Android and iOS devices have their own neat apps too, while the service can also be manually configured using the previously mentioned protocols.
Router support is available on DD-WRT, Tomato, Sabai, and other firmware via manual configuration, too, allowing users to extend the protection to smart TVs and other devices that don't support VPNs by default. Last but not least, there are also browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox.
The pricing structure of NordVPN is similar in every way to the overall nature of the program: simple and attractive. There are four packages available for purchase with each offering the same unlimited access and high security on multiple platforms, making the only difference between them how payments recur. Longer term plans are cheaper and so the basic cost of $11.95 per month ends up being more expensive than for those that want to stick with NordVPN for a while.
As such, the next tier is billed once a year at $83.99, translating to a monthly cost of $6.99, but purchasing the two-year license is even better since it drops the monthly equivalence to $3.99 at a total of $95.75. However, the best plan has a very attractive total price of $107.55 for three years. This represents an amazing 75% discount when compared to single monthly payments, the same as paying only $2.99 each month. While these prices seem pretty fair given just how great the overall service that NordVPN represents, the only downside is the lack of intermediary plans between the monthly and annual options.
Fortunately, NordVPN lessens this issue by allowing its customers to test the service first, even if for limited time. The company offers a seven-day free trial with no strings attached, meaning that there are no bandwidth caps or server restrictions, including all P2P, double VPN, and other special servers. Besides that, all purchases include a 30-day money-back guarantee that can be used as an extra risk-free trial.
Payment methods include credit cards, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and even alternative options such as PayPal, Alipay, and the like.
Customer Service
As any great company should, NordVPN has its own blog and is active on social media, namely Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Private contact is possible on each of these, but the preferred format of help are email – either directly or by using the official website to submit a support ticket – and live chat.
The company deserves praise in this matter as the latter demonstrated especially quick response and assistance, though it's likely that no customer will need to resort to this thanks to the well-elaborated FAQ and tutorial pages. In fact, not only will they help in understanding how the service works by providing answers to the most varied of questions, but they also give tips about which settings to choose in order to prioritize speed, security, or whatever purpose each customer will use the VPN for. Likewise, there's no lack of manual set up tutorials for all kinds of devices.
Bottom Line
With intuitive apps for the complete suite of devices, a great investment in security, and a VPN network that competitors should be envious of, there are plenty of ways to use this versatile VPN. The quality of the connections even on the most distant servers is particularly impressive, while the security of a trustworthy no-log policy, reliable DNS leak protection, and an innovative kill switch mean you can feel safe with NordVPN. Likewise, those who simply want a good VPN to protect themselves from online snoopers can rely on double VPN and traffic obfuscation servers, while regularly video streamers will be thankful of a server network with great consistency to its connections.
Along with the liberty of choice given to each user to either customize their connection or go with sturdy preconfigured settings, it's not hard to understand how NordVPN has already marked its position in the world as one of the best services for every privacy enthusiast.
- Intuitive multiplatform apps
- Double VPN and P2P support
- Plenty of security features
- Large VPN network with consistent speeds
- Trustworthy no-log policy
- Great customer support
- Attractive pricing
- Lack of intermediary plans

I squeezed in every moment of sleep. Waking up feeling refreshed, I got ready, found an outfit that was perfect, and made my way to meet a friend at a coffee shop. Whimsically navigating Queen street on my bicycle, I parked it and had a leisurely conversation over Americano's.
Noticing it was time to get to work, I left the shop, only to find that someone had locked their lock to my bike. Just the lock. Not even with a bike attached. Someone had just locked their lock on my bike. Certainly the actions of a sadist or some absent-minded soul.
I was dumbfounded. Then I was angry (which is a composite of being upset at the inconvenience, sad that I wouldn't have my bike for the day, and pissed that I'd have to use the TTC on the hottest day of the year). I questioned a man sitting on a bench who was at the perfect vantage point to witness the infraction, who just nodded and indicated he'd watch my bike in universal pointing language, since our attempt at finding a common verbal language was not possible.
I ranted to my friend still in the coffee shop. Being more grounded in that moment, she reminded me that it really wasn't a big deal and that it probably meant I wasn't meant to have my bike today. *blank eye stare*
On an emotional scale of "at Peace with it" to "Rob Ford Temper Tantrum" I was at a "annoying hangnail".
Who would do such a thing? Why would he/she be so inconsiderate (intentionally or not) as to prevent me from using my vehicle?
And why was I holding on to it?
Sure, I could alpha dog it out and spend my time hunting down the 'culprit' or find a pair of heavy duty cutters to take care of it. But why? What would be the basis of that focused action? Anger that propelled me to assert "HEY, DON"T MESS WITH ME UNIVERSE! I CALL THE SHOTS HERE!". What was the resistance toward accepting "what is"? And I saw yet again that whatever exists in that space between "what is" and "what I want it to be" is the thing that disrupts joy and harmony in my life. We're blessed with the ability to take action in our lives, but when something is done, why spend the time pushing against the stream?
So. I was late for work, and had a streetcar experience that probably best left for another post. My boss didn't mind that I was late. I didn't miss anything critical. And the day marches on with whatever intention I choose (I'll take Happy and Productive for $500 Alex)
And maybe the reason for it all was to get me back to writing here. And that feels like I'm a little bit closer to being me.
