Quebec is Recognized Internationally for its Commitments to Conservation in the Boreal Region Français
Sep 17, 2012, 14:02 ET
JEJU, SOUTH KOREA, Sept. 17, 2012 /CNW/ - The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world's largest and oldest international environmental organization, as part of its World Conservation Congress in South Korea which concluded this weekend, passed a resolution "recognizing Quebec's progress in the conservation of the boreal region."
The resolution, submitted by the Pew Environment Group and cosponsored by five member organizations of the IUCN, including the Government of Quebec, says, in part, that the IUCN:
WELCOMES the policies and commitments of the Plan Nord because of their commitment to conservation and sustainable economic development;
AFFIRMS that the policies and commitments of the Plan Nord befit a sustainable development model that, if implemented in full, will allow natural resources to be developed in a spirit of respect for the environment thereby creating an exemplary sustainable development project that integrates energy, mining, forest, bio-food, tourism, transportation development, wildlife management, environmental protection, the preservation of biodiversity, and that will foster development for the benefit of the communities concerned in a spirit of respect for cultures and identities;
FURTHER AFFIRMS that the aspirational goal of maintaining 50% of the northern territory of Quebec free from industrial development, if operationalized correctly, has the ability to be a guiding light to the globe as we combat the enormous global challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change;
AFFIRMS that Plan Nord is a globally significant sustainable development initiative, if implemented in a manner that safeguards the integrity of the environment and respects the indigenous peoples' human rights in accordance with the UNDRIP;
FURTHER AFFIRMS that the proposal to dedicate 600,000 square kilometres to nonindustrial purposes, protecting the environment and safeguarding biodiversity, is an outstanding and historic conservation policy that will positively reverberate around the world;
AFFIRMS that the ecological planning at the heart of Plan Nord is a critically important strategic commitment that will provide a sound long-term foundation for conservation;
AFFIRMS that the conservation components of Plan Nord will make an outstanding contribution to climate change adaptation responses in the boreal zone; and
CONGRATULATES the Government of Quebec for its vision and commitments to conservation and aboriginal rights
The Canadian Boreal Initiative (CBI) has long recognized and supported Quebec's ambitious commitments to conservation, Aboriginal peoples, and sustainable development; however, maintain that, to date, after one year, implementation is inadequate. So far, the Plan Nord, in addition to violating the rights of some First Nations, has unfairly favoured industrial activities at the expense of conservation and the needs of the affected populations.
Premier Marois has pledged to implement the ambitious commitments of the Plan Nord
In a letter to CBI, Premier Pauline Marois confirmed that, under her new government, the conservation and sustainable development commitments, as recognized by the IUCN, would not only be met, but exceeded.
"In 2001, I was inspired by the Nord-du-Québec policy proposed by the Parti Québécois. We are very pleased that Ms. Marois and the Parti Quebecois recognizes the importance of the North," said Suzann Méthot, CBI's Regional Director of Quebec. "Like the IUCN, she also acknowledges the importance of the ambitious commitments made by the Government of Quebec, Aboriginal governments, and stakeholders for the protection of the environment, economic and social development of the northern territories, and local populations in 2011."
"If we want conservation and social concerns to be at the forefront of development in the North, we have a lot of catching up to do," concluded Ms. Méthot. "Plan Nord cannot go forward without consent from First Nations, upon whose land natural resources are being developed without their consent. We hope that Ms. Marois ensures that the development and implementation of ecological planning in the North, including full respect for Aboriginal nations' rights on their territories, are a top priority for her administration. The Premier of Quebec stands to be the first to implement a comprehensive model of sustainable development, one that has already captured the interest of the international community, particularly within the Francophonie."
About the Canadian Boreal Initiative

Malta Diary Malta and its walls and bastions – "For sheer concentration and majesty quite unmatched"
e/mail – firstname.lastname@example.com
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jerome.fenech
My Blog: https://myreachingout.wixsite.com/myblog.
Man and walls. They have worked together since the start of recorded history. Some walls were built to safeguard, protect and keep others out and some were built to keep people in!
The Great Wall of China was built over many kilometres to protect Chinese Dynasties from Mongolian invaders. Hadrian's Wall across the north of England was built by the Romans to keep out the Picts and the Scots. The Berlin Wall was built across Germany after WWII to keep people IN Communist East Germany and stop them escaping to West Germany! Now US President Donald Trump wants a giant wall between Mexico and the USA to keep the Mexicans out.
Together with all these, Malta also has a claim to have been the most fortified country in the world almost right into the 20th Century. Malta's walls and impressive bastions were built to protect, safeguard and keep invaders out.
The British architect Quentin Hughes described Malta's fortifications that, "For sheer concentration and majesty are quite unmatched".
In his book "The Story of Malta" published in 1893, the author and historian Maturin Murray Ballou wrote that, "There is not a more complete system of fortifications extant, in any part of the world, than the cordon of defence structures in Malta".
From a military strategy point of view, Major General Whitworth Porter from the British Regiment the Royal Engineers labeled Malta as "The most powerful artificial fortress in the world".
The question arises that if Malta and Gozo make up one of the smallest countries and nations in the world – why so many protective walls and structures?
The reason of course is Malta's highly sensitive geographic location in the world at a time when the recorded history of human civilization decreed that the world is centred around the European continent and that the Mediterranean Sea was therefore the most essential sea in Europe.
Slap-bang in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea at a period where the almost exclusively main means of voyaging and travel were ships at sea; at a time when sea voyages were of many days' duration; at a time when there was of course no refrigeration – Malta was an essential base for rest and replenishment of ships for those that wanted to dominate the southern European region and the north African coast – and hence, the fulcrum of the "civilized" world.
Malta is full of citadels, fortresses, military batteries, towers, defensive redoubts, entrenchments, watch towers and pillboxes and extensive bastions that would have been impossible to scale and remain alive before reaching the top and entering.
It all started off with the Phoenicians, the Romans and the Byzantines, some BC, some AD. These built walls around their important settlements, particularly in the areas that later became Mdina (known as The Walled City and today termed as The Silent City) and the Cittadella in Gozo. These were chosen because they are situated on the peaks of hills, the walls built as defence to supplement the difficulty of first having to climb the hilly terrain.
However, the epic building of walls and bastions goes to the Knights of St John of Jerusalem in Malta when the major developments took place. Driven out of Rhodes by the Ottomans, they were highly determined not to suffer the same fate in Malta. The capital city at the time was Mdina near the central part of the island. This was already fortified.
However, the Knights wanted to be in a seashore locality and they chose Vittoriosa as their headquarters, on the rim of the Grand Harbour, which they fortified together with nearby Senglea.
These development took place in the 15th and 16th Centuries and after the Great Siege of the Ottomans was finally repelled on 8th September in 1565, the then Grand Master, the Frenchman Jean Parisot de la Valette, decided Malta needed a new capital city, a city that straddled the seashore and needed to overlook two harbours and thus a peninsula.
The Mount Sciberras peninsula was chosen as the ideal location and Valletta came into being, highly fortified by bastions all around and the inclusion of a number of forts including St Angelo and St Elmo. Watch towers were also built all around the island coast.
The drill was this: watch towers kept a 24/7 lookout; at the appearance on the horizon of a ship that was determined to be alien and hostile a huge fire would be built, the billows of smoke raising the alarm; farmers and those living outside walled areas would make haste and rush towards a walled city or fortification.
The penalty for being captured would either be death or "recruitment" into galley slavery for men; women and children were transported back to Turkey, the women to be used as prostitutes and servants, the children to be raised in Islam.
After the Knights were ousted by Napoleon Bonaparte and the French, who themselves were ousted by Lord Horatio Nelson and the British at the turn of the 18th Century, the British constructed a number of forts and pillboxes to serve as important sea lookouts.
The era of the importance of bastions and walls in Malta and Gozo dwindled with the aerial innovation which rendered them pretty useless and even more today when at the touch of a nuclear button, Malta and Gozo would disappear off the face of the earth!
It's a daunting thought!

death watch Brother Gaius
Entry posted by Randolph Carter ·
271 views
Gaius Publius had served in the Sixth Legion for almost three decades when the end came.
He was known to his comrades as the Wolf, and it was rumored that in his infancy he had suckled at the breast of a she-wolf and raised himself out in the bitter hinterlands of Illyria. Certainly, he bore the pelt of a massive grey beast he'd slain with his bare hands during the Ghur campaigns, thus proving himself worthy and winning the honor of carrying the Legion's standard into battle. Hard bit and unflinching, he was the best scout and tracker in the Sixth, and he would boast in all the Legions. Thus, he was out on patrol when the end finally came.
Unsurpassed he might have been, but even he could not have eyes everywhere, and those who might have been able to see the Ungors creeping through the forest failed in their sworn duty. The first he learned of the Sixth's plight was when he heard the desperate rallying cries of its horns, and saw the smoke rising over its encampment.
Hurrying back, he found the Legion already destroyed, taken completely by surprise and slaughtered in its tents. There was nothing he could do but watch as beasts and cultists picked among the ruins. Worst was when he saw the Legion's precious standard clutched in the unclean hands of a Bray-Shaman, a trophy of victory.
When at last the herd moved on to new targets he ventured into the field of ashes that remained- only to stumble over a relic of the Legion, a golden horn stamped with a VI and an image of an eagle in flight. This was a sign, he decided, a directive from the gods. The standard of the Sixth would fly again, and this trumpet would sound in victory before he would abandon his war against the beasts of the forest.
For four long years he stalked the horned ones across the forests and fields of Ghur. He became known to them as the Hunting Wolf, the Red Hunger, for he fought with a cruel savagery and the bravery of a man who has nothing left to lose. As he fought he saw the provinces and cities of Illyria falling into ruin before the onrushing tide of Chaos, but this did not dissuade him. His honor was greater than to one people or empire- he had sworn himself before the heavens themselves, and he would die before he would lay down his sword.
This faith kept his mind safe from the whispering temptations of the Dark Gods, but his body still suffered as the taint that was overcoming the Realms overtook him. His once-mighty limbs began to wither and tremble, and his eyes grew dimmer as he suffered from plague and malnutrition. If he could not fulfill his oath soon, he would die with honor unsatisfied, and though he did not fear the end he was afraid of that shame. Thus it was that he prepared his last desperate assault against the herd that had massacred the Sixth so long ago, now swollen to immense size. He knew where the Shaman kept his tent and his trophies- all he had to do was live to liberate them.
In the dark of the night, he prepared his tools- fire and confusion. The tinder-dry forest was prepared to burn, and he waited until the wind had shifted towards the camp before he struck a flame. Almost faster than thought the new inferno spread, burning brands soaring to land among the bray-herd. As the beasts panicked he blew the old horn of the Sixth, three blasts loud enough to wake the dead. Many among the enemy believed they were under attack, and in their alarm slew one another, even as the forest burned around them- and into this confusion strode the Wolf. Slaying all in his path, he cut his way to the trophy-tent, seizing the standard and planting it defiantly before him. This done, he called out a challenge to the shaman to come and face the wrath of the Sixth Legion, the blood of ancient Herculia.
The enemy answered, swollen by the power of his fell magics into a great three-headed chimeric beast, but Gaius Publius only laughed. He had slain a wolf once, to win his honor, and that had been with his bare hands. Now he had a sword, honor redoubled, and no fear of death. He danced with the beast beneath a fiery sky, parrying and weaving and biding his time- and he soon saw his moment. His enemy feared to be slain, and flinched when the fire grew too close- but he had long consigned himself to an honorable death of his own making.
He set the wolf-pelt on his back alight, and plunged towards the shaman, a blazing wraith of legend- and it flinched back, afraid to strike, and in that moment its end was upon it. He struck again and again, Illyrian steel drawing tainted blood, until it fell dead at his feet, a mere wretch of a creature once more. And as the flames grew closer he laughed in his victory, and just as he was about to be consumed he sounded the horn of the Sixth again, to let heaven know of Gaius Publius' approach so that they might open their gates for the Wolf of Illyria.
The storytellers call Brother Gaius the Hunter, the Wolf-Skinned, the Untiring, the Survivor, the Sixth, the Wolf in the Night, the Flame of Wrath, the Sword of Vengeance, the Herald, the Sworn Companion, the Beast of Illyria, the Last Legionary, the Oathbound, the Shadow.

Absolutely on the same page. I think one of my longest binges started that way — with alcohol. I can even remember it was some cheap fruit wine. Good for you, RiseToGreatness, that you avoided the trap. Gotta be careful around alcohol, more so during holidays.
Then again, one can drink oneself unconscious and just pass out — no urges for a while, hahaha. Just a joke, of course. Stay strong, brothers!

This past weekend, Startup Weekend Helsinki took place in the elegant surroundings of the NewCo building in the Kallio region of Helsinki. Here is our look back at an inspiring weekend.
Chris Georgiev, founder of Imagga, was the lively master of ceremonies, supported by a team of purple t-shirted volunteers. Present were seventy participants in their blue, yellow, orange, red and green colored t-shirts to represent their skillsets – business, designer, engineer, developer and 'other', which included among others educators, academics, and interested students.
The Friday kick-off included a fun and inspiring presentation by Alejandro Santacreu, founder and CEO Puzzle Phone.
I spoke with Startup Weekend volunteer Armand Dupuis. This was his ninth such event in just three years. The youthful and friendly Frenchman previously participated in seven events held in various regions across France – six as an attendee and one as part of the organizing team. Now, whilst currently studying in Finland, he has been part of the organizing team for two Finnish Startup Weekend events.
It's not hard to imagine what motivates him and others to volunteer. The energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Armand highlighted the different atmosphere in France – most events run continuously through the nights with parties, dancing and mixing between teams – the Finnish version is more reserved, perhaps a cultural difference, but it sure delivers.
5 tips to bring with you to the next Startup Weekend
Reflecting on the development of ideas and teams in such a short period of time, a few tips come to mind for those considering attending future events:
- Don't worry – ideas don't have to be very well developed at the start. Further research comes straight after during the first hours of the event.
- Gather a team with a mix of skills and experience (some previous startup/entrepreneurial experience in the team helps).
- A team size of four to six people is optimal. Less is ok, but more takes more management. Create a positive atmosphere to complement the passion.
- Solve a problem that people will pay for. Be prepared to pivot and change the solution and business model.
- Validate, validate and validate. Get out and interview potential customers.
Among the selection of onsite experienced local coaches, Tuoko Kontro and Liisa Paavilainen, both volunteering their weekend time, highlighted the power and benefit of such events:
"It's all about immediate validation of the idea and feedback from potential customers" Liisa told. It helps that the event location is not far from city hotspots and transport hubs.
Touko added "startups are quite mature these days, skipping fast through typical first year mistakes. This means that potential investors could get a better return on their investments"
That's good news for the growing Angel investor community in Finland, where investments are growing at a healthy rate.
In reality, fifty-four hours of intensive effort, facilitation and learning, is a small personal investment but a giant leap forward for nurturing a potential start-up.
Late on Sunday came the conclusion of the event, with four minute presentations given by the remaining thirteen teams. Ideas ranged from finding hobby friends, supporting tourists in their own language, a healthy sports focused cafe menu, fashion, events, music, education, to real-estate solutions.
The judges Steven Balliano, Matti Copeland, Mohamed Eldishnawy (Dish), Teemu Polo and Tuula Halen gave the presenting teams pretty tough but fair questions fully in line with the judging criteria which emphasized the need for Validation, Execution and Business Model as key elements.
And the winners were…Everyone.
The teams with strongest proposition according to the judges were PPRX, a solution focused on assisting epilepsy sufferers, and Sport Ninja, a platform to link people with personal coaches. The overall winner was Home Help. a service to provide student helpers for elderly clients who need company during activity. These teams received various prizes including co-working space and entry to key local events and other discounts.
Everyone takes away their own experience. For me it was a real eye-opener that such events can really make a difference and super-charge your imagination. New friends were made and networks expanded.
The next event, Startup Weekend Oulu happens 22-24th April. Find out more about it here.

Eyenuk announced the expansion Oct. 2.
"We are gratified to see the global adoption for the EyeArt system and the opportunity that the technology offers to primary care and diabetes clinics," Kaushal Solanki, Eyenuk chief executive, said in statement. "The EyeArt system will enable millions of patients to be screened in real time for early disease detection."
Eyenuk is using its retinal analysis technology to identify and track the progression of diseases including glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, risk of stroke, cardiovascular risk and Alzheimer's disease.

Background Nordvpn Rogers
NordVPN offers a VPN service in a price that allows its Users to browse securely and anonymously. Their virtual private network servers use OpenVPN tunneling protocol and AES 256-bit encryption (with double data security ). Nordvpn Rogers

What Is a VPN?
When the ARPANET was cobbled together by researchers They did not give much thought to security or privacy. It is still a fact that the web does little to protect your data and your identity, while the internet has changed a whole lot in the intervening decades. That is why you need a VPN.
When you turn on a VPN, it generates an Tunnel between your personal computer and a host controlled by the VPN service. All your web traffic is routed through this tunnel, meaning that no one, not someone on the same system as you, can sneak a peek. It prevents malicious network operators from using DNS poisoning techniques to deceive you into seeing pages that are phishing or intercepting your data. A VPN even protects your internet traffic from being tracked by your ISP, which can be important now that ISPs can market user information.
Because your Internet traffic appears to emanate In the VPN server rather than your computer, your true IP address is hidden from the outside world. As an IP address may be used by spies and advertisers to track your movements that's valuable. IP addresses can be used to approximate your place, which is just another reason. Nordvpn Rogers
VPNs have long been used by journalists and Political activists to access sites blocked by repressive governments. It is also possible to use them to bypass the cubes on streaming content that's limited to certain geographic regions placed. By way of instance, if you jump to a VPN server in Canada, you might find you're able to watch at no cost in MLB games. It is worth noting that Netflix blocks VPN users, therefore a VPN that works with Netflix one day might be obstructed the next.
There is a Fantastic Possibility That You Might have never Laid hands on a VPN before. Don't worry, if that's true! We've got a whole feature on how to set up and use a VPN.
NordVPN Benefits
NordVPN is probably the VPN supplier who claims To function as World's Most Secure VPN.
However, I've seen those claims. So I bought NordVPN and chose to Place towards evaluations. Here are the experts I found…
Strict No Travels Policy
While some VPN suppliers keep some logs, NordVPN does not.
They do track Some lesser important data, such as:
- Service performance data (for recommending most appropriate servers)
- E-mail address
- Payment data (but you can also utilize bitcoins)
That is the regular stuff that many (if not all) VPN providers are logging And it's nothing you should be worried about. Particularly when NordVPNs payment processor isn't tied up with their main firm.
Powerful Features & Add-Ons
While being relatively inexpensive, they do supply some Fantastic attributes Such as:
- IP concealing: Yes
- Netflix accessibility: Yes
- Kill-switch: They've got two distinct kinds of kill-switches: an individual is now able to choose whether to shut a specific program or fully terminate the Internet connection in case of sudden dropout (system-wide kill-switch).
- 6 simultaneous connections
- Access to their own DoubleVPN servers which encrypts data double
- 4870+ fast and secure Servers
- Countries 62
- 6 simultaneous connections
Not only do they have applications for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android they've detailed tutorials for Protocol connectivity to them and 40 other cellular OS, RaspberryPi's and routers.
- Kill Switch: NordVPN software automatically kills your link if your VPN connectivity has been interrupted, blocking your apparatus or terminating certain programs from accessing the web.
- DNS Leak Security: If you have installed your VPN connection manually (state you did not want to join via OpenVPN) or have recently reset your Windows, you're more likely to DNS escapes. All these DNS requests will then be completely unprotected. NordVPN have implemented measures to guard you and negate such leaks.
- Onion Over VPN: For extra security, or those desiring to stop by the darkened web (TOR network), NordVPN offers you the ability to track your traffic first through their VPN then send it into the Onion Router.
- SmartPlay: SmartPlay technology ensures you can access over 400 geo-restricted streaming services; Netflix, Amazon Prime, Pandora, BBC, and many others. With more and more VPN servers unable to access Netflix, this is a welcome attribute. Nordvpn Rogers
OpenVPN (among other tunneling protocols)
OpenVPN includes 256-AES-CBC with a 2048bit Diffie-Hellman key. I Generally prefer to watch DH over RSA, on account of the former enabling Perfect Forward Secrecy. On iOS and MacOS customers, you will be encrypted via an IKEv2/IPsec protocol; AES-256-GCM and a 3072bit DH key,
In short, NordVPN has gone out on safety and has employed Above industry standard encryption algorithms.
Double Data Protection
If you Choose to turn this feature on, NordVPNs double encryption will Relay your info via not one, but two subsequent VPN servers, before it reaches the web page or program you are attempting to get. By chaining your connection through two VPN servers, your data gets encrypted twice.
Along with the (often unnecessary) dual encryption, the next VPN Server will be unaware of your original IP address and relations are made through both UDP and TCP protocols. This really is a"one extra step" security attribute. The majority of you are unlikely to ever require it, especially if you're using it for torrenting and Netflix unblocking.
Not to mention the impracticality of this reduced rates You are likely to incur.
NordVPN Speed is Stable And Fast
Ah, bones and the meat of any VPN inspection — independent, Prolific and Meticulous speed testing.
Their speeds were not anything to brag about when I reviewed.
However, when I re-did this speed evaluation in December 2018 I had been pleased to See their rates one of the top.
To gauge NordVPN is at procuring your visitors, I Conducted several dozen speed tests in our offices in Europe, attached into the EU, UK, US and Asian servers.
And while the top VPNs managed to achieve download rates of 70 Mbps+ and up, NordVPN came out with 74.15 Mbps.
US Server
- Ping: 101ms
- Download: 56 Mbps
- Upload: 29 Mbps
On average mile journey.
EU Server
- Ping: 37ms
- Download: 74 Mbps
- Upload: 48 Mbps
Decent speeds for EU, too.
Asia Server
- Ping: 211ms
- Download: 12 Mbps
- Upload: 5 Mbps
Not bad for a Europe into Asia connection!
Overall, NordVPN is fast VPN supplier. Nordvpn Rogers
Works Great for Torrenting and Netflix USA
Since NordVPN has a Great Deal of servers they work nicely with Torrenting and bypassing.
As soon as I analyzed NordVPN with Netflix it seemed to work.
I Must admit, not all servers are still working with Netflix, because we All understand how Netflix attempts to crack down specific IPs that belong to VPNs.
But 5 from 6 should do the job. Here are my Netflix evaluation results:
NordVPN servers unblocking Netflix:
- United States (2)
- United Kingdom
- Netherlands
- Canada
NordVPN servers blocked by Netflix:
- Sweden
You can get in touch with their customer support who will help You select the best servers to your streaming.
Torrenting is quick and secure also.
NordVPN has made particular"P2P servers" that are exclusively meant for maintaining Your own torrenting activities private and safe. You are able to access the P2P servers via"specialization" servers list on their application.
No IP or DNS Leaks Found
Whenever I examine VPNs, I make multiple tests to see if they're Shifting IP or my DNS.
I put my place to their USA server utilized 5, to make these accurate Different websites for assessing DNS leaks:
- IPLeak.net
- Perfect-Privacy. Com DNS & IP leak evaluation
- Browserleaks.com for WebRTC leaks
- IPC.ax
Overall, I could be certain that your IP nor DNS will never get Leaked when utilizing NordVPN.
Moreover, when I did research on Chrome extension leak test, NordVPN Was one of the few that did not have to fix it as it was not leaking (read the full case study here).
Found in Panama (Safe Jurisdiction, No Data Retention Law)
According to their website (NordVPN.com), NordVPN was established 2008 in Panama and is controlled by Tefincom co S.A.
For many, this may raise a red flag.
But that practice.
All leading VPNs are located Share info on logging (Switzerland, Singapore, Caymans, British Virgin Islands and so on).
NordVPN definitely hides This information enough. And it's good for their users.
However, when I really paid to write this NordVPN Inspection, my payment went into CloudVPN Inc (located in the US). Aren't they really located in Panama like the claim?
To be fair — this makes a whole lot of sense. They're"officially" based in Retention legislation. Nordvpn Rogers

Works Great for Torrenting and Netflix USA
Since NordVPN has a lot of servers that they also work nicely with Torrenting and bypassing geo-restrictions on sites like Netflix.
When I tested NordVPN with Netflix it appeared to work.
I have to confess, not all servers are still functioning with Netflix, because we All understand Netflix tries to crack down IPs that belong to VPNs.

Your Privacy With NordVPN
When you use a VPN, it has as much insight Into your actions as your ISP does. If it so desired, it could examine every piece of data passing through its system. It also can potentially identify you to a different party–law enforcement, for example–which makes it feasible to monitor online. That's why it's important that before you purchase a VPN subscription, you understand and are familiar with the measures the company has created to protect your privacy.
A representative from NordVPN promised me that The company doesn't insert advertisements into your web traffic, nor does it gain from the sale of user information. In terms of data it gathers, the company representative told me that NordVPN only collects aggregated statistics and information. The agent also affirmed that NordVPN doesn't collect any personally identifiable information. All this info is offered in the privacy policy of the company.
2018, in November, NordVPN announced that it Had passed a third party audit of its own no-log coverage by one of the"big four audit firms." It joins several VPN businesses, such as TunnelBear VPN, that are undertaking audits. The attempt shows that the companies are serious about security and consumer privacy, although Every one of these audits differs. Hopefully companies will follow suit.
NordVPN relies in and operates under the Legal authority of Panama, where there are no laws requiring the enterprise to keep data for a compulsory period. The company says it doesn't collect log information, so it has no advice it can hand over in response.
It's difficult, however, to fully endorse the Privacy practices of any VPN company. To do this will require the technical expertise to translate all of it, as well as access to hardware and the company's code. Nevertheless, based on my talks with NordVPN and studying the organization's privacy policy, it appears to be saying all the ideal things. As always, however, you as the consumer should ask yourself whether you are familiar with expecting any given company with your own personal info. Nordvpn Rogers
Hands On With NordVPN
With this review, I utilized a Lenovo ThinkPad T460s laptop running the latest version of Windows 10. Some VPN services like to just use the VPN client software built into the operating system rather than creating a standalone program. NordVPN offers both options. I performed my tests all using the NordVPN Windows client.
Nearly every VPN company I've reviewed thus Much offers handy apps rather than requiring that you set your VPN. NordVPN has ever offered an excellent user experience whatever the platform you're using, with its apps. At testing, the Windows client shared a lot of design features using the NordVPN mobile programs, with a monochrome map because its focus. It is somewhat whimsical, together with submarines and ships on the cartoon seas, but it's an easy way to select the host you want.
An internet search bar at the top of the display makes Work of locating a server if your geography skills are lacking, or you'll be able to watch the servers as a list. The servers that are specialized are placed by this last choice and it provides useful analytics concerning the loading on any server that is particular.
Clicking the Quick Connect option Of the display or the System Tray, joins you to the VPN server that NordVPN believes is best (generally, the closest and so fastest). That's a fantastic choice for people unfamiliar with VPN services, as is the Preferences option that forces NordVPN to start and connect on startup.
You can change The DNS resolution support, though NordVPN utilizes its own option. The client includes options to connect on startup, but it doesn't have a broken tunneling feature that lets you route some traffic beyond the VPN's encrypted tunnel. TunnelBear is one VPN service which does include this attribute, though using it will reduce your protection.
In the NordVPN settings you can also select a TCP or UDP connection, and also choose to connect to what the company calls"obfuscated servers," which it says helps reconstruct government VPN blocking. The customer also includes a Kill Switch that shuts off access to the web for applications, should your computer become disconnected from the VPN. Nordvpn Rogers
NordVPN Drawbacks
~ 30 Days, refund Can Take
Though NordVPN provides money back guarantee Have contacted us stating that it functions, but with a caveat…
It requires NordVPN almost 30 days to process your refund.
While this isn't a large issue, it certainly isn't a very good user experience. Most VPNs give refunds.
However, I would not refund (nor didn't) NordVPN, so that I doubt you'll need To use that feature at all.
Company Not Transparent Enough
As mentioned previously, upon my investigation, NordVPN seems to be linked with CloudVPN Inc — A business located in the U.S. that is in contradiction of what they say on their site.
But that doesn't mean they're not personal or actually located in the USA.
They gave me a reply, though…
And by thinking twice — it left a lot of sense to me. So I would not Segment it to disadvantages.
Pricing and Features
NordVPN supports Android, Chrome, Firefox, IOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows with programs that are handy. NordVPN's mobile customers both permit you to purchase subscriptions that are complete . You may configure some routers to connect via NordVPN. Doing provides coverage for all of the devices on your network, including home devices that can not run a VPN by themselves.
NordVPN provides four pricing tiers: $11.95 each Month, $83.88 yearly, $95.75 every couple of years, or $107.55 every three years. The company accepts credit cards, naturally, but additionally PayPal, different cryptocurrencies, and other payment methods that are online. NordVPN includes a 30-day money-back warranty. Nordvpn Rogers
NordVPN also offers a three-day free trial Years, but it has not made it effortless to access, and, considering the limitations, it is almost not worth it. There are many competent and generous free VPN services on the market. ProtonVPN is our top pick for free VPNs, since it puts no information limit on its own users.
You can use up to six devices On NordVPN, though there are some limitations concerning connecting devices. That's still excellent, as most VPN services limit you to five simultaneous connections. Should you want more than six apparatus, consider installing NordVPN on your own router (as mentioned previously ). 10 device slots are especially provided by cyberGhost, and the two Avira Phantom VPN and Windscribe VPN place no limit on the number of devices you can use. Most services allow you to add device slots into your subscription for a fee.
As of this writing Top-rated VPN support is about $10.68. NordVPN is especially above that typical, but its own host of features, excellent programs, and heart service justify the cost. That said, other VPN services have more flexible and lower-cost programs. KeepSolid VPN Unlimited$8.99 in KeepSolid, for instance, offers a life subscription, in case you want to hedge your bets on collateral to the 22nd century. Personal Internet Access, on the other hand, costs only $6.95 a month and shares an Editors' Choice award using NordVPN.
One of the advantages of using a VPN is that your Real IP address is hidden from the external world. The issue is that services and some websites can blacklist that IP address. For that, you'll have to purchase a static IP address, which NordVPN may also supply. To get a $70.00 fee, you can secure a dedicated IP address on a NordVPN server in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, or the USA. Static IP addresses are convenient if you're worried about VPN traffic being obstructed, and NordVPN's broad selection of US and Western European IP addresses signifies your new static IP will go unrecognized. Notice, however, you must email NordVPN and request a dedicated IP address. Other services, for example TorGuard VPN$4.16 at TorGuard – 24 month program and VPN Unlimited, provide static IP addresses as easy add-ons to an existing subscription.
NordVPN for iPhone
NordVPN for iPhone proceeds NordVPN's Tradition of supplying the exact same user experience supported platforms. On iPhone or even iPadthe attributes feel very familiar to users of other NordVPN solutions.
Regrettably, the iOS version doesn't have some Of the handy options which you find in the Android variant, due to iOS's quirks. Still, this well-designed program feels very much at home on Apple's platform. NordVPN also brings Smart Reconnect feature and its Kill Switch, which can be welcome.
Unsurprisingly, NordVPN has an Editors' Option for VPN for your own iPhone. Nordvpn Rogers
NordVPN for Android
The Android client for NordVPN is Sleek, with a brand new interface which retains the map but presents a flatter look.
NordVPN has taken great pains to Supply a Experience across every device the business supports, but every customer is tweaked to work best on every stage. On Android, as an instance, it's still possible to get into the organization's excellent specialized servers. We particularly like this you can browse a comprehensive list of servers in a country, not a wide category.
For its collection of features and Excellent interface NordVPN is an Editors' Choice for Android VPN apps.
NordVPN for both Firefox and Chrome
In addition to computers and mobiles, NordVPN Provides a Chrome plugin and, more recently, a Firefox add-on. Browser plug-ins for VPNs are becoming more common, and it's a development I appreciate.
When busy, they protected Transmitted by means of your browser, leaving the rest untouched. This can be a compromise in safety, but it can be more efficient for some tasks, such as gaming with a VPN. A business representative informs me that both extensions are encrypted using TLS 1.2.
The NordVPN browser VPN lacks the granularity Of the full scale client on Android and Firefox. You can not connect to servers, for example, only locations. These plug-ins are, nevertheless, simple to use and lightweight, and they comprise all the organization's CyberSec protection, which I discussed previously. Additionally they have ability to block WebRTC, which can leak information. Nevertheless, I favor the plug-ins out of TunnelBear, one of which serves as a VPN connection and the other as a pleasant ad blocker.
NordVPN for Mac
Much like Android, there are a few yells That make the macOS client for NordVPN feel right at home on a Mac. The view is the beautiful and comfortable monochromatic blue map, using its cartoon ships and submarines. Nevertheless, the left tray moves in with a slickness of the macOS apps that are best. Clicking the magnifying glass in the top right to search the servers blurs out the main webpage. These are little tweaks, but VPNs services don't take the effort to really optimize their clients.
When I last examined the Mac app Criticism was that NordVPN's excellent specialized servers are too hard to find through the Mac client interface. You have to apply special filters to the complete listing, or notice the small links at the bottom of the webpage. These needs to be front and centre for the user. I also wish you could select different VPN protocols, but, on the flip side, NordVPN already utilizes my favorite option, OpenVPN.
Regrettably, NordVPN performed in my Last batch of macOS VPN rate tests. Nevertheless, the features and expertise of NordVPN outweigh the speed results, and NordVPN is among our favorite VPN clients for Macs. Nordvpn Rogers
Do I Suggesting Using NordVPN?
Slimming down, I really do recommend NordVPN.
It is secure, safe and fast. Plus it does not come with a learning Curve as some other VPNs such as TorGuard or even AirVPN.
Their server park is the largest that I know of, 4870 servers in 60+ countries.
It isn't the fastest VPN, however the performance is steady and quick. I would not If they land 1st if they maintain the good functionality at low rates, be surprised.
Will see what the future brings, but for now — I'm pretty much Advocating NordVPN, especially if your budget is limited.
In my experience, the man would Rather risk with no security than cope with frustrating security software. That NordVPN succeeds: This makes using a security tool easy. It's everything we expect in a VPN and then some, with specialized servers such as Tor-Over-VPN and double security being the service's standout features. Server updates make it the VPN service available, and community protection characteristics and advertisement blocking raise NordVPN's abilities still higher. NordVPN also has an superb stance on consumer privacy, operating from the legal authority of Panama and amassing data that is little.
These factors are Enough to justify its high monthly cost. NordVPN is a wise choice, is highly suggested.

The Musk Man — From the Book I Read
"Do you think I'm insane?" was what Elon asked Ashlee just before he was about to leave post dinner. Ashlee Vance, who is the author of Elon Musk's biography, informed Elon around 18 months before this dinner, his plans to write a book about him. And Elon not surprisingly, informed the author his plans to not cooperate. Having stubbornly decided that he will write the book about Elon Musk either with or without his cooperation, for the 18 months after the rejection and till the day of this dinner, Ashlee had already interviewed around two hundred people. Though Elon had rejected dozens of people who wanted to write his biography, he asked Ashlee for dinner and finally gave his nod. So why Ashlee? Maybe because he was annoyingly stubborn in persevering what he wanted to do, a quality which Elon takes in high regard.

Last week I re-arranged our living room furniture. Not really a new thing for me, but this time I didn't plan the re-arrange. It was brought on by a freak accident.
Last Tuesday, Chloe moved our coffee table out of the center of the room so she could practice karate. When she was putting the table back the leg got caught on our area rug and the silver tray on the table went sliding off. The over sized glass jar that was holding some shells and a small bird nest, along with a special tea pot that I was given at a women's retreat several years ago, flew off the tray and shattered into thousands of little glass pieces.
My initial reaction was to make sure Chloe hadn't been cut. She was physically okay, but she was very upset with herself for doing this. She ran upstairs in tears.
Emma and I were right behind her to offer a little love and assure her it was okay!
I let the girls pick out a movie to watch in the loft while I headed back downstairs to clean up the mess.
I started with the big pieces...they were easy to see and get to. Then I started on the smaller pieces. They blended in with the carpet and were harder to see not to mention pick up.
After working for about an hour I wound up moving the area run to make sure I had picked up all the little pieces around the edges. That prompted me to move the entire area rug so I could vacuum under it...then I got the bright idea that I wanted to move the rug to the dining room and totally redo the living room.
The girls got in on the fun and we pushed, pulled tugged and towed the furniture around until we found a "new" look. The hard work was worth it and I'm very happy with the new look in our living room.
God reminded me later in the week that sometimes a life-shattering event can bring about much needed change. Sometimes He uses what we view as a catastrophe to remove the old stuff we've become accustomed to. You know, the junk we hang on to because at one point we thought we couldn't live without it!
The process may be intense and at times hurt, but. The long term benefits are far more valuable than the things we think we've lost. When God takes away that old junk, He replaces it with things like love, joy, peace, patience kindness...self-control.
I'm thankful Chloe broke that glass jar. I'm thankful it forced me to focus on the living room for a LONG TIME last Tuesday afternoon.
God used it to remind me that the glass shattering thing going on in my life right now can be used for His glory. It may be a little while before we get done, but the clean out is going to be a good thing.

"The people who became involved in this, all of them excellent scientists, worked with self-denial and for this reason we succeeded. And what we achieved met with international recognition," he pointed out.

text: Hey guys, After getting the J-3000 running, I tackled my other Jeep that has been in storage for 10 years, required $800.00 is welding and frame work to get it useable. New Custom wiring (Mine) Aircraft Electrician Experience..... New Clutch and linkage New Frame mounted Master Brake cylinder, etc... The 1955 Willy's CJ-5 is now running, participated in a parade in Vacaville, CA May 2011 and putting miles back on the Jeep. Unfortunately, I got the Willys Jeep free 15 years ago, had a SBC 400v8, now has another free SBC 267v8 engine with a mild camshaft about 8" vacuum at idle, all power at speed, no idle crawl ratio to speak of, just stalls, so I have more engine work to tear down and replace parts. I just need to find out what a good RV style camshaft I want for the SBC 267 engine with copious amount of low idle response, so I can crawl over the rocks and trails in the Sierra's this summer. Work in progress, easy to remove fenders for quick maintenance. Parade action at the Fiesta Days Parade, Memorial Day weekend, May 2011. Thanks, Mac

A perfectly lined up and brilliant white smile is thought about among preferable facial functions. Teeth sustain damages and degeneration over time consisting of spots, misalignment, spaces, and injury that impact its look, function, and healthy condition. Cosmetic dentistry can provide a wide variety of thorough and customized improvement methods to bring back the visual value and operation of oral structures.
Cosmetic dentistry provides oral improvement services carried out by a licensed dental practitioner to enhance the appearance and function of teeth. With mindful attention paid to look, oral implants, crowns, and positioning techniques intend to remedy oral issues responsible for the absence of a consistent appeal and dysfunction. Embellished improvement services can change the condition of teeth offering a straighter and whiter smile.
Find out Cosmetic Dentistry Options
Numerous oral methods are attended to a private client requires in the practice of cosmetic dentistry. Improvement approaches are focused on enhancing the look of teeth to guarantee that an appealing and lined up outcome is produced. Learning more about the various methods offered can help in identifying which of these treatments are ideal for specific oral requirements.
Porcelain veneers are popular improvements including a tooth like a shell glued over the teeth to produce a white and lined up a smile. It can be made an application for a single tooth or several teeth that have been blemished. While it is a protected and long-term procedure, a dental expert can encourage on its care to extend its durability, however, the application will suffer natural degeneration and need to be changed at a later phase.
The treatment is applied to remedy extreme discolorations on the tooth surface area and moderate cases of misalignment consisting of slights spaces. It is an expensive treatment, however, can produce long-term outcomes consisting of an intensely white and perfectly corrected the alignment of a smile. Assessment with an oral specialist can figure out reliable cosmetic dentistry options for private requirements consisting of important and long-term improvements.
Oral Implants
Where an injury has triggered extreme gum and tooth damage or a tooth needs elimination owing to illness, it can leave an unattractive space triggering a wide variety of practical issues. Loss of a tooth in the front of the mouth is extremely obvious leaving numerous people humiliated. Cosmetic dentistry provides oral implants through a prosthetic tooth to resolve the space in an irreversible, safe and naturally visual way.
An expert oral evaluation of the surrounding bone and gum line should be carried out to recognize where adequate tissue exists to protect the prosthetic. As soon as mold is taken, the dental practitioner can match the oral implant to the shade and size of staying teeth for a natural appearance. It will need regular care and the correct health practices, however, can last a lifetime.
Bridges and Crowns
For clients impacted by considerable spaces or missing teeth, the choice of a crown and bridge is more cost-effective and will finish the appeal and operation of your smile. Mishap damage leading to great fractures or fractures and deteriorated teeth can gain from the positioning of a crown. The function is to restore and reinforce the staying tooth.
The addition of a crown or bridge is more budget-friendly in contrast to the oral implant.

It is a less intrusive alternative when compared with a prosthetic and will be matched to the initial shape and color of other teeth.
Teeth Whitening
There are lots of alternatives offered for whiter teeth depending upon the underlying reasons for staining and whether several teeth have been impacted. The usage of dark liquids consisting of red wine, cigarette smoking and using recommended medication can trigger surface area spots that cannot be gotten rid of with routine brushing or over-the-counter whitening items. An in-office treatment customized to fit private health care requirements is identified to produce enticing and practical outcomes.
When teeth are yellow, brown and significantly stained owing to illness, specialized treatment to lighten teeth from the inside out will be needed. Small staining might react to home-based items used inning accordance with directions, however, medical issues and injury require special treatments. Do not overuse nonprescription items to eliminate spots as it might use the enamel and increase the level of sensitivity to hot and cold temperature levels.

It's okay... I have seen better
Rooster Run ReviewRooster Run is a complete golf course. It has a few long hole a few short holes, left to right, right to left...get the picture. It's a nice course. It is your basic championship golf course. The conditions are good most of the time. Staff is always friendly and welcoming to all players. Range is grass and you purchase balls at the range in a dispenser...bring a few singles with you or you will be walking back to the proshop. Front 9 is nice and is challenging (not all that challenging but challenging). Back 9 can be a stroke or 3 harder due to the wind factor. Play early to avoid the wind. The wind is an everyday issue here, to confirm this....the course is located next to an airport and it gets windy. There are two putting greens to practice on (conditions are ok). There is a chipping bunker behind 1st tee box. Restaurant has taken a step back from past years. It's ok as far as atmosphere. Price is a dollar or two high. Post your scores in the proshop when finishing your round. Food quality is excellent....atmosphere is soft and slow. Enjoy propsin

Synopsis by Josh Ralske
Anna (Ann Eleonora Jørgensen of Italian for Beginners) has just been hired as the chaplain at a women's prison. Inexperienced, but compassionate and energetic, she begins to feel her way amongst the prisoners. Soon, a new prisoner, Kate (Trine Dyrholm of The Celebration), is transferred to the prison and causes a stir. Marion (Sonja Richter of Open Hearts), a junkie, has heard that Kate helped another prisoner get clean and goes to her when her fellow prisoner and dealer, Jossi (Sarah Boberg), cuts her off. Marion kicks heroin, and believes that the introspective Kate has healed her. When Anna gets wind of this, she goes to see Kate, but Kate doesn't want to talk to her. She's even a bit hostile, telling Anna to look after herself and the baby in her belly. Anna believes herself infertile after fruitlessly trying to have a child with her loving husband, Frank (Lars Ranthe). She's shocked to discover that she is actually pregnant, but her joy turns to dismay when she learns that the fetus may have a serious birth defect. Meanwhile, Henrik (Nicolaj Kopernikus), a mild-mannered guard, finds himself increasingly drawn to Kate, to the point of putting his job in jeopardy, while the ruthless Jossi, losing business, feels threatened by the strange new inmate. Writer/director Annette K. Olesen and co-writer Kim Fupz Aakeson made In Your Hands in the Dogme style, shooting on video at Nyborg State Prison. The film was shown at the 2004 Berlin International Film Festival and selected by the Film Society of Lincoln Center for inclusion in New Directors/New Films.
