Natural Finish Sealer
Bondall Natural Finish Sealer is a revolutionary, penetrating, film forming water based sealer. Enhancing the natural tone of the surface without discolouring the substrate. Natural Finish Sealers durable film will provide strong stain and abrasion resistance.
Surface preparation is critical. It is advisable to allow a minimum of six weeks exposure before sealing onto any newly laid surface. Areas affected by efflorescence, grease, mould or bore stain should be treated with the appropriate Bondall cleaning products. Ensure all surfaces to be sealed with Bondall Natural Finish Sealer are clean, dry and free from dust and other contaminants. Any stains present will become more apparent once sealed.
Allow new concrete to age/cure. Typically allow 7 days for each 25mm thickness. Generally concrete takes 28 days to cure to 90% of full strength.
While a surface that has been cleaned with a high pressure water jet or saturated with water may look dry we recommend that it be allowed to dry for a minimum of 3 days before sealing as the substrate may still contain a lot of moisture.
Surfaces cleaned with acid based products needs to be totally neutralised, as any acid residue present will attack the coating.
Stir the contents well before and during use. DO NOT SHAKE as shaking will produce air bubbles which may become trapped on the surface.
Apply by low pressure spray (preferred), brush or roller. Proper penetration of the first coat is very important. On horizontal surfaces, do not allow pooling as this will lead to an uneven finish.
Apply a second coat immediately after the first coat has been absorbed by the surface. This is termed a "wet-in-wet" application. The object is to saturate the surface to allow better penetration.
The number of applications depends on the permeability of the substrate. Generally only one "wet-in-wet" application is enough but for very permeable limestone, two or more "wet-in-wet" coats may be required. Additional coats must be applied immediately after the previous coat has been absorbed.
Drying time may vary depending on substrate.

Areas Of Use
Gloss Level
UV Protection Level
- Always test the product on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the product does not react adversely with surface or gives a slippery result. Also check if the surface has been previously sealed by carrying out a splash test, by wetting the surface to see if water beads.
- Application of Bondall Natural Finish Sealer will not prevent the appearance of marks left by tyres etc. in some instances, but will assist with cleaning.
- Do not apply if temperature is below 10ºC or above 35°C or if rain is expected within 24 hours as this could lead to whitening of the coating.
- Ensure adequate ventilation during use.
- Over application will result in the surface becoming glossy or a milky film may occur from trapped moisture. Applying coating onto substrates experiencing moisture migration may cause a formation of a white milky film. May darken some surfaces.
Clean - Up
Cleaning is as easy as 1-2-3!
- Wash your equipment in mineral turpentine.
- Rinse in fresh water with a drop of detergent.
- Seal washings and unwanted leftovers and dispose of responsibly.
- Store out of reach of children.
- Skin: wash the area well with running water.
- Eyes: flush the eye with running water for several minutes, contact your doctor.

Online slots graphics have steadily improved over the years. But one of the biggest advancements by far involves the advent of 3D slots.
A 3D slot offers three-dimensional graphics. This helps the symbols and background feel closer to the player and also look better.
It's easy to see why these slots are popular from a visual perspective. But let's look at what else makes 3D games so sought after.
Great Atmosphere
The graphics in 3D gaming are just part of what makes these slots so unique. The overall atmosphere, including the soundtracks, animations, and background, is outstanding in 3D slots.
Plenty of Gameplay Options
Older online slots weren't always the best in terms of betting and gameplay options. 3D games, however, have greatly advanced this category.
You now have the ability to change your bet size, paylines, sound volume, and more. These options allow you to perfectly customize your slots experience.
Detailed Bonus Rounds
5 reel slots have been offering bonuses like free spins and scatter payouts for quite some time. But 3D games have taken bonus rounds to a new level.
Many 3D slots feature detailed second-screen bonuses that are like mini games. For example, a gladiator game might see you battle a fellow gladiator.
Some 3D Slots are Like a Movie
Some gamemakers have taken the 3D genre so far that their slots feel like movies. Betsoft is a perfect example, because each of their games are like a theater experience.
Ogre Empire, for example, features a giant ogre who rules a small town. It's only when the ogre falls asleep that the villagers feel safe to come out of their homes.
It's definitely worth giving 3D games a try based on all of the positives that we've covered. And you can find Betsoft slots at Drake Casino.

About Jen McGowan
Jen McGowan is a director based in Los Angeles. Her first feature, Kelly & Cal, premiered at SXSW where she won the Gamechanger Award. Her award winning short film Touch has played at over a hundred film festivals worldwide, and was distributed by PBS, NBC Universal, Shorts International and Canal Plus.
She is a Film Independent Fellow, the founder of Film Powered, a recipient of the Alliance of Women Directors Breakout Award and was included on Vulture's list of Women Directors Hollywood Should Be Hiring. Lunacy Productions' Rust Creek is her second feature.
Lunacy Productions: How did you get into directing?
Jen McGowan: By a rather circuitous route. I started in theater. I went to undergrad at NYU. Studied theater at the Atlantic Theater Company from '94 to '97. When I graduated, I tried to work as an actor, but I didn't really enjoy the life and the career of an actor, so I quickly started looking for something else. At the time, I was paying my bills by working as a receptionist at a commercial production company, just as a fluke. It's just where I got hired. However, it actually turned out to be fortuitous, because that is what really exposed me to filmmaking. I saw the "behind the scenes" of how things get made. As I was working my way up the ladder of PA, coordinator, PM, and producer.
I made my own short film and realized directing is what I was meant to be doing. I enjoyed every aspect of it, whereas being an actor, I just enjoyed parts of it. So, I was like, "Okay, well, I gotta learn more about this." So I applied to film school, I got into the MFA Directing Program at USC, started there in 2002, and I finished my thesis film in 2005.
LP: How did your time as an actor influence your directing style?
JM: Profoundly. It wasn't just my time as an actor. It's the type of study that I did as an actor. The teaching at the Atlantic Theater is very cerebral. It's very script analysis based, it's very present moment, reaction based, two actors working off of one another—actions, reactions, wants, needs. That's all the basis of what a director needs to know. So I didn't know it, but at the time, I was training to be a director.
More importantly, I learned what it felt like to be an actor, and what an actor needs, and frankly, what they don't need. I'm not one to really pander to talent. But I absolutely will give them what they need to do a great job, because I understand what they're going through, and it's a very specific thing that they're doing, and it's a challenging task that we're asking people do in difficult circumstances. So I see my job as a director as supporting actors to get their best work.
LP: What would you say are some of the biggest challenges you've encountered in your directing career?
JM: Access. Access to the best material, access to the budgets, access to the talent, access to coverage and press for your finished projects. It's access.
LP: How have you overcome some of those access challenges? What are some of the tricks that you've learned to get yourself in?
JM: One of the biggest things is just putting yourself out there and telling people what you want and what you need. Sometimes it feels vulnerable, because you feel like you're supposed to look successful, or you're supposed to look like you have everything you need. But the fact of the matter is, if you want something, you are not going to get it if you don't ask for it.
LP: This is an industry where you are always going to have to ask – no matter who you are.
JM: Yes, you have to. There's a lot of things that you have to disconnect your value from. Accolades don't always line up with skill, talent, and value. Finances don't always line up with skill, talent, and value. Access doesn't always line up with skill, talent, and value. And it's one thing to say that, but it's another thing to actually absorb that, and trust that, and not judge yourself for that.
To me, it's always about the work. It's like, do you want to feel better, or do you want the work done?
LP: How do you stay focused on the work despite the up and down nature of the industry?
JM: Well, that's the thing that's exciting about it! I don't see that as a challenge. That's the thing that's stimulating. I feel like our job is two things. It's to attain the best tools that we can, and then do the best job with those tools, that's it. You do that over, and over, and over again.
Jen McGowan works with actor Micah Hauptman on the set of Rust Creek.
LP: Where do you turn to for inspiration?
JM: Honestly, most of what I end up creating comes from a frustration, or an anger, or seeing something that annoys the shit out of me, that could be done better, and I'm just like, "I can do that better. I can fix that." Or not even, "I can." But someone hasn't, so I'll try.
A lot of my inspiration just comes from everyday existence. Talking to people, reading current events, and the news, and what's going on in the world. When I feel depleted, which I tend to do at the end of a movie, I like to go to a museum. It cleanses my palate, because it's not something that I do. I can't engage in a critical way with it, because it's not my world, it's not my language, it's just pleasing.
LP: You can just observe and enjoy it.
JM: Yeah, there are very few times in this business when I feel at peace enough to take the time to do that. It's usually at the end of a movie when I feel calm enough and exhausted enough to do that.
The difficulty with that is that most things are never completed. A director only makes a movie, if they're lucky, every year. But that's a handful of directors. Most directors are making movies every couple of years. So, in between that there's a shit ton of work that is incomplete, always. And that's incredibly frustrating. So, it's important to also find times of celebration because otherwise, you're just going to be miserable the whole time.
The thing that was good about film school is you make things from start to finish over and over and over again. And what you learn is, there's a cycle. I know at what point I'm going to hate my work. I know when I'm going to feel completely terrified. I know when I'm going to feel really angry. I know when I'm going to feel anxious. Because I've gone through that process many times. And that's really helpful because a lot of those emotions are kind of useless.
LP: What can you say to other directors about picking the best writers and stories?
JM: Most directors from the indie world write their own stuff. And there's a reason for that. It's because that's what's rewarded in the indie world. It's a longer road if you're not going to write your own stuff. However, if you choose to go that route, which is the route that I've chosen, I think you have to make sure that you're working with writers that are a good match for you.
It's trial and error. You don't know until you've gone through it a few times. I look back and there are feature scripts that I love, written by writers that I love, that I have not been able to get made. It's frustrating, but I don't regret doing them. I just couldn't get them made. So you just have to go with what you love. And you have to go with the project that you can convincingly walk into a meeting and convey that love.
Now there's other things. Like process, and how you work with a writer. Every writer is different. There are two writers I'm working with right now who couldn't be more different in their process and they're both amazing, and I love them and they're coming up with two incredible things.
On set, I am very accommodating to my actors. I can work with pretty much any type of actor. I am not accommodating to my crew. I need them to accommodate me. You have that same assessment when you're thinking about a writer. Can you accommodate their working style or do you need them to accommodate your working style? And that's something that everybody needs to determine for themselves.
LP: How did you initially get involved with Rust Creek and what drew you to the story and project?
JM: I had met the producer Stu Pollard because I was trying to get a project financed and I had been introduced to him as a potential financier. He did not respond to that material, but he and I hit it off really well. At the same time I had been recommended to him by Destri Martino at The Director List and another producer for a film he was trying to hire a director on.
After our initial meeting he said, "I have this other film called Rust Creek, do you want to take a look at it?" I read it and that was the script by Julie Lipsen and Stu, and I loved it.
When I read a script, there are a few things I'm looking for. Is it something that I can do well? Is there a theme in the story that I can get my head around that's going to be interesting to keep me engaged for two years? Is it something that I think audiences are going to like when I'm done with it? That's kind of it. In Rust Creek I found something that was both entertaining, and interesting.
The other thing that I look for is an ability to do something slightly new that I hadn't had the opportunity to do before, and that's extremely important for me as a director who wants to work in different genres.
LP: What was new about it?
JM: It's a thriller and I hadn't done that before. Explosions and fights are just storytelling elements, but for some reason people see that as a specific and unique skill. And I understand that. Yes, if you've done that a million times, you have skills, but you're working with the stunt coordinator, you're working with a special effects supervisor, you're working with all these people who have done it a million times. As the director, you're speaking just like you would to a DP or a production designer. "This is what I want." And they fulfill that. So that was another element that I got to play with.

LP: What was it like working with (Rust Creek producer) Stu Pollard? How did you guys click?
JM: We responded to the same things about the material. And when it's a director-for-hire position, you're figuring it out as you go, how to work together. Every relationship is different and the core relationship is the director/producer relationship. That is the core of the film. You know, this is his movie, but this is our movie.
LP: How did you like working in Kentucky?
JM: I loved it. I love traveling. I love anything new or different. When you're shooting an independent film, one of the best ways to get bespoke authentic texture and detail is to shoot on location, so that was great. It was exactly as we wanted it to look, so that was wonderful. It was fucking cold. Dealing with the weather was not something that was fun. But you work around it.
Because of my experience in production on commercials, I've been on hundreds and hundreds of shoots over the years. There's hardly a scenario that I haven't encountered in one way or another. It just becomes something that you absorb and overcome.
LP: How was the local crews?
JM: The crew was fantastic. We shot between Thanksgiving and Christmas and it turned out to be really a smart move. It's really the perfect amount of time, and for an indie film, all the crews are available because people don't tend to shoot then and everybody wants to get one last job in before the end of the year. So you can get all your first crew, the gear is available, everybody's happy to work. I think that was a genius move that I was worried about, but it turned out to be great.
LP: Take us through the production process. How did that go?
JM: In prep we developed the script from the Lunacy office in Santa Monica, which is really nice for me because I live in Venice. I would ride my bike to the office. And then in pre-production, Stu and I went out to Kentucky once or twice for short trips, like three days, just to give me a general idea and some location options.
We cast from L.A. Most of the principals came from L.A. One came from New York, and obviously Hermione came from London. And then eight weeks out, we were on location and everything was done on the ground in Kentucky. We were based in Louisville and our camera house was three hours away in Cincinnati. Everything that we needed was there or easily able to be brought in.
We were in Kentucky for our shoot and came back to LA for post production. My editor (David Hopper) and composer (H. Scott Salinas) are both based in Santa Monica—basically I spent my time in prep and post on my bike commuting. And during the shoot I spent my time in a massive down coat shivering in the cold with the crew and my cast. It was the cast that really suffered. But they did a phenomenal job. They were troopers.
LP: How are some of the early audiences and viewings reacting to the film?
JM: Stu said that a lot of women are taking self defense classes because of the movie. There is an altercation in the movie and our main character hits somebody and it's really funny because women look at that and know instantly what she's doing—because most women at some point have taken some cheesy self defense class, and we recognize that movement. Guys don't. Some guys are like "well, how did she know how to do that?" And then women are like "This is how."
LP: What are some of the projects you're working on now? What are you doing next?
JM: I have a TV series I created with my partner Eliza Lee, a show called Angelica. It's about an American town which ends up having the last abortion clinic in the state. And it's about how all the outside forces come to that town and affect the relationships of the women in that community. I'm also attached to a film about a woman's first steps on Wall Street. That's a period piece set in the 60s based on a memoir. The finance industry is particularly macho, as we see in our industry sometimes. I'm really excited about that project. It's a really cool story about an accidental feminist. It's about a mom who is just trying to care for her family and because of the obstacles and hurdles she has to overcome she realizes that she's a feminist.
The funny thing is, the question of what are you working on now is different than what are you doing next? Because I never really know what I'm doing next. Like with Rust Creek, if you had asked me in August what I was doing next, this movie wasn't even on my radar. And then were shooting in November. So who knows? Maybe something will fall into my lap tomorrow and I'll be shooting in July. Who knows?
LP: What advice do you have for other directors that are starting out?
JM: I think that you just have to do the best you can with the tools you have, and judge yourself accordingly. It's not a competition with anyone other than yourself, so you try to get better every time. Try to find material that you love and you can be passionate about, and when you're not passionate about it, walk away.

United States District Court, D. Nebraska
April 23, 2018
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.CARLOS VIDAL-MIX, Defendant.
M. Gerrard, United States District Judge
matter is before the Court upon initial review of the pro se
motion to vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (filing 237)
filed by the defendant, Carlos Vidal-Mix. The motion was
timely filed less than 1 year after the defendant's
conviction became final. See § 2255(f). The
Court's initial review is governed by Rule 4(b) of the
Rules Governing Section 2255 Proceedings for the United
States District Courts, which provides:
The judge who receives the motion must promptly examine it.
If it plainly appears from the motion, any attached exhibits,
and the record of prior proceedings that the moving party is
not entitled to relief, the judge must dismiss the motion and
direct the clerk to notify the moving party. If the motion is
not dismissed, the judge must order the United States
attorney to file an answer, motion, or other response within
a fixed time, or to take other action the judge may order.
§ 2255 movant is entitled to an evidentiary hearing
unless the motion and the files and records of the case
conclusively show that the movant is entitled to no relief.
§ 2255(b); Sinisterra v. United States, 600
F.3d 900, 906 (8th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, a motion to
vacate under § 2255 may be summarily dismissed without a
hearing if (1) the movant's allegations, accepted as
true, would not entitle the movant to relief, or (2) the
allegations cannot be accepted as true because they are
contradicted by the record, inherently incredible, or
conclusions rather than statements of fact. Engelen v.
United States, 68 F.3d 238, 240 (8th Cir. 1995); see
also Sinisterra, 600 F.3d at 906.
defendant was charged, as relevant, with one count of
conspiring to distribute 500 grams or more of a
methamphetamine mixture, one count of possession 500 grams or
more of a methamphetamine mixture with intent to deliver it,
and one count of illegal reentry. Filing 99. He pled guilty
to the conspiracy and illegal reentry charges pursuant to a
plea agreement. Filing 129; filing 130; filing 131. The plea
agreement provided that the government would dismiss the
possession charge at sentencing. Filing 130 at 1. The
defendant waived his rights to appeal and collateral attack,
except for claims that the charge failed to state a crime or
that the defendant received ineffective assistance of
counsel. Filing 130 at 6-7. There were no cooperation
provisions in the agreement. Filing 130.
In his
petition to enter a guilty plea, the defendant indicated his
understanding that the mandatory minimum sentence for the
conspiracy charge was 120 months' imprisonment. Filing
129 at 6. He was told at the change of plea hearing that he
faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 120 months'
imprisonment, and he said he understood. Filing 134 at 9. He
was told that if he decided to cooperate with the government,
the government was not required to do anything in
exchange-that is, that it was up to the government to decide
whether to ask for the defendant's sentence to be
reduced. Filing 134 at 18-19. He said he understood that, and
that the Court was not required, even then, to reduce his
sentence. Filing 134 at 19. And the Court explained the
waiver of appeal and collateral attack, which the defendant
also said he understood. Filing 134 at 10-11. Finally, the
defendant also said no one had made promises to him that were
not in the plea agreement. Filing 134 at 24.
Court accepted the defendant's plea of guilty. Filing
134. The presentence report established a criminal history
category I, finding no criminal history. Filing 187 at 13.
Based on a criminal history category I and a total offense
level 29, the presentence report found a guidelines
imprisonment range for the conspiracy charge that was below
the statutory mandatory minimum of 120 months. Filing 187 at
16. The defendant objected to the probation office,
contending that the defendant was safety-valve eligible.
Filing 187 at 19. The probation office, however, indicated
that according to the government, the defendant had not met
the proffer requirement. Filing 187 at 19. The defendant
objected to the presentence report, asserting his
safety-valve eligibility. Filing 165. The government opposed
the objection, arguing that the defendant had been
"evasive and deliberately untruthful" during the
safety-valve interview. Filing 180 at 2.
was adduced at sentencing regarding the defendant's
safety-valve eligibility. Seefiling 183; filing 184.
The Court found that the defendant had not "truthfully
provided to the Government all information and evidence the
defendant has concerning the offense or offenses that were
part of the same course of conduct or of a common scheme or
plan, " and therefore that the defendant was not
safety-valve eligible. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f).
The Court sentenced the defendant to 120 months'
imprisonment on the conspiracy count, and 18 months'
imprisonment on the illegal reentry count, sentences to be
served concurrently. Filing 189 at 2. The defendant was also
provided with a notice of his right to appeal, which he
signed. Filing 185. He did not appeal.
defendant claims that he received ineffective assistance of
counsel. Filing 237 at 4. To establish a claim of ineffective
assistance of counsel, the defendant must show that his
attorney's performance was deficient and that this
prejudiced his defense. Strickland v. Washington,
466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984). Deficient performance can be shown
by demonstrating that counsel's performance fell below an
objective standard of reasonableness. Id. at 688.
However, the Court's scrutiny of counsel's
performance is highly deferential, because the Court must
indulge a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls
within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance.
Id. at 689. In the context of a challenge to a
guilty plea, the deficient performance and prejudice are
demonstrated if the defendant can prove that (1) his
counsel's representation fell below an objective standard
of reasonableness, and (2) there is a reasonable probability
that, but for counsel's alleged errors, he would not have
pleaded guilty and would have insisted on going to trial.
Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 58-60 (1985);
Tinajero-Ortiz v. United States, 635 F.3d 1100, 1103
(8th Cir. 2011).
defendant lists a number of ways in which he alleges that his
counsel was ineffective, but it is notable what he does
not allege: that but for the alleged errors, he
would not have pleaded guilty. And the ways in which he
claims he was uninformed are contradicted by the record.
begin with, the defendant claims that he did not know that by
signing the plea agreement he was giving up his right to
appeal and collateral attack. Filing 237 at 4. But as set
forth above, the Court expressly advised him of that, and he
said he understood. A defendant's representations during
plea-taking, such as those concerning the voluntariness of
the plea, carry a strong presumption of verity, and pose a
formidable barrier in any subsequent collateral proceedings.
Nguyen v. United States, 114 F.3d 699, 703 (8th Cir.
1997). Moreover, the defendant was again advised of his right
to appeal at sentencing, but did not-and there is nothing to
indicate that his decision not to appeal was somehow the
result of his plea agreement.
defendant also claims that his criminal history was
inaccurate because does not "have any record but this
offense prevented [him] from having the safety valve."
Filing 237 at 5. That's simply incorrect. U.S.S.G. §
5C1.2(a) and § ...

Mob Busts in New York
I'm glad that I haven't met a mob family in my entire life and wish not to meet any at all. I particularly don't know how mobs work but in the US they are able to compile data regarding the numbers and names of the mobs they busted in the recent years. Pretty interesting details I think you might find interesting.

Frank Zappa's memory and music live on
THREE RIVERS — The unique sound of Frank Zappa will be in Three Rivers tonight, Friday, Aug. 11.
Beginning at 9 p.m., Ugly Radio Rebellion will be performing at the Riviera Theatre auditorium for the third time, with Isaac "Ike" Willis, a guitarist formerly in Zappa's band.
Willis said he has admired Zappa's music since an early age.
"I started playing guitar when I was eight-years-old. Two years later, when I was 10, I heard Frank Zappa's album 'Freak Out!,'" he said. "Ten years later, I was in his band where I [played] with him for almost 17 years. I ended up being in his band longer than anyone else was."
Due to his connection to Zappa, Willis was assigned a special task.
"[Zappa] ended up asking me, in the week before he died, to help keep his music alive, which is what I am doing with bands, such as Ugly Radio Rebellion," he said.
Willis has been a member of Ugly Radio Rebellion (established in 2002 by Scott Schroen) for 12 years, where he acts as the lead and rhythm guitar, lead and background vocals, and plays "just about anything else [he] can get [his] hands on, depending on what the circumstances are."

A 41-year-old Texas man was sentenced to 20 years in a federal prison on May 17 on drug trafficking and money laundering charges. The man was found guilty by a jury in December 2018. U.S. attorneys convinced the jury that the man was the financier of a drug distribution network and laundered the group's money through his luxury and exotic car dealerships in Houston.
Texas man sentenced to 20 years on drug charges
Texas authorities take 25 into custody on drug charges
On May 21, Texas authorities organized a massive raid that hit several places in the state, including San Antonio, McAllen, Corpus Christi and Austin. According to reports, the authorities were targeting at least 30 alleged members involved in a drug-trafficking ring. It was also believed that some of these individuals were involved with the Tango Orejon gang.
Do police need a warrant to enter your home in Texas?
No one wants to hear police knock on their door. If police arrive at your house, you need to know about your rights under Texas and federal law. If you don't know your rights, you may not assert them properly, which can increase your risk of criminal consequences.
What happens if I consent to a search in Texas?
Dealing with a police encounter is stressful. However, you could easily exacerbate things and make them harder on yourself if you don't understand your rights as a resident of Texas. People often make mistakes due to misinformation or nervousness during encounters with law enforcement that can later have serious repercussions.
Judge sentences 2 doctors, 1 nurse for drug trafficking
In May, a judge sentenced two doctors and a nurse to federal prison for trafficking opioids and other prescription drugs. The sentences were handed down in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor?
All crimes come with consequences, but some have more severe penalties than others. What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Texas and what consequences can an individual face after a conviction?
Texas jury convicts man on drug and weapons charges
Federal prosecutors in Texas have reported that a 44-year-old Illinois man was convicted on drug trafficking and weapons charges on April 29 after a four-day trial. The Chicago native could be sent to prison for life when he is sentenced. His sentencing hearing will be scheduled once the U.S. Probation Office has completed a presentence investigation. Another individual who was taken into custody with the man in September 2017 was sentenced to 94 months in a federal prison on drug possession charges after entering into a plea agreement with U.S. attorneys.
Michael Avenatti vows to fight embezzlement charges in court
Texas residents who watch the news likely became familiar with Michael Avenatti in March 2018 when he filed a lawsuit against President Trump over his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels. The forceful litigator quickly became a household name and was even said to be mulling a run for the White House of his own, but those days may have seemed like a long time ago on April 29 when Avenatti appeared in a federal court in Los Angeles charged with multiple counts of embezzlement, bank fraud and wire fraud.

I'm afraid that one cannot begin the process of building up a lasting edifice until the underlying decrepit and crumbling foundations are torn down and cleared away.

Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:34–39

Thersites, those verses are difficult and need a lot of Bible background to interpret correctly...not my choice for here, but thanks for the reminder.
I agree about the underlying foundations..they're really shot beyond much help.
Sue, glad you like the picture, too.

Our language and contemporary understanding of the word "love" corrupts the Biblical definition and meaning of love. In the Bible, we speak of love as being from God, as in "God is love." Love is one of the primary characteristics of God, and He has endowed us with the capacity for love.
The language of the New Testament was Greek, translated into English. The word in Greek for love is "agape." This love is represented by God's love for us; it is non-partial; it is a sacrificial love best exemplified by God's provision for our rebellion.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have ever-lasting life." —John 3:16
God's gift to mankind, His son, was a gift to us all. God's love is unconditional.
The Greek word "phileo" describes a conditional kind of love; one that is based on the behavior of others toward us. It is based on our emotions and contrasts significantly with agape —the latter kind of love is extended through the spirit. Agape requires a relationship with God through His son Jesus. Agape love is extended to us, and expects nothing in return. Again, it is unconditional. It is given to each of us.
The most famous biblical chapter on love is found in 1 Corinthians (13: 1—13). Read it again; think about it, and work your mind to understand it … for this is the love that will bring us peace and closer to Him.
If you are not a Christian, strive to express love as it is defined in the Bible, but attempting to do so beyond the power of God is simply not possible because this kind of love is only possible by relying on the power of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Love comes to those who abide in Christ.

"How good it is for brothers to dwell together in peace."
"Who are my brothers and sisters?".
Ge then indicated that His brothers and sisters were His followers. Even to the exclusion of His mother and brothers who were outside the door (having come to put Him away as mad).
"Dwell in peace with all men. As much as it is possible."
There are forces I will not find peace with.

Ed, tell us more about his mother and brothers thinking he was mad, with links, please?
Sam, it's not only the word LOVE but also scripture like "he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me" which can be badly understood. This is why I am extremely careful what scripture I use here; always have been.
I'm not here to push faith on anybody, I try not to confuse anybody (a couple of years ago, we had someone intent on taking faith to its farthest limit and inserting such condemnation for not interpreting as that person did...and I was about to stop my faith Sunday because it was harming more than helping...I was desperate that my blog was turning people off; Thankfully, it stopped)
I do my Sunday faith blogs to give a day from politics, solace and hopeful reminders to Christians, and I know with certainty that one person did become a more faithful believer and several have said "you give me 'permission' to speak of my faith..." and I even see Jesus mentioned at blogs which NEVER did before, so it's rewarding and thrilling and I hope a good gift to God!

Sam is it significant that the KJV never mentions love in the Corinthian passage but charity?
Yeah, Ed, there are definitely forces we will never find peace with. It varies by individual.
The OT was never really keen on mercy to those outside the tribe.
Myself, if we aren't sincerely trying to enlarge the boundaries of the tribe then we are just playing a losing parochial game.

Oh good. Negativity! I was afraid we would get through a day without it. Thanks, Duck.

As I wrote about translations and the use of words, I think Ducky's question is a good one. I'm not sure if Z is chastising me for the distinction, so I hesitate to write at length. Let me only say in response to Ducky that in Christian life, Charity is seen as the epitome of perfection —the greatest of three abiding virtues. Charity is not giving away money or property (1 Corinthians 13:3) so it is believed that charity is a word that refers to the love we have toward other human beings, as reflected in Romans 14:13-15, 2 Thessalonians 1:3, and in 1 Peter 4:8-9.
I apologize, Z …

Mar 3:21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
Mar 3:30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
Mar 3:31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Mar 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Mar 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

Sam! I admired and liked your comment. I am SO SORRY if it came off like I was chastising YOU.
You were perfectly correct in your defining LOVE for those who've studied scripture and writings about it more than others.
No...If you read my comment again, the only thing I meant to YOU is the comment about how LOVE can be misinterpreted as does "follow me on the cross". I think there are actually people unstudied enough to think that Christ's saying if you don't give everything up and carry a cross on your back, you're not enough on His side :-)
I'm SO sorry you thought I was chastising you in ANY way. I was ABSOLUTELY not.
Ducky's question is the kind I worry about.
People misunderstand and it doesn't make for a good situation; let's put it that way.
I'm blessed to study about every six weeks with a young rabbi who reads the OT in Hebrew and so many words don't really have the meaning our interpreters place on them.
You're right about charity; excellent description.
Again, sorry for the misunderstanding..that wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at the worries I have about doing a faith blog at ALL.
Ed, thanks for that. I now remember having read that but it's not dwelt too much upon and had forgotten it.

We were working in the kitchen Sunday and there was a program on about Armageddon.
The focus was where the battlefield would be that would manifest itself preceding 1000 years of peace afterwards.
It was Jerusalem. To me, that seems obvious. At the time this was written, the known world was this area so it's not surprising but it is also HQ for islam which I believe to be run by Satan. Those folks just don't seem to want to get along. All the moderate muslims in the world won't mean a thing when a person is having their head chopped off by a 7th century barbarian.
Anyway, things like this take time to manifest. Centuries.
We are growing further apart and we will be doing that for a good long time until either good or evil wins some major battle and beats the other back into a 1000 years of submission.
Is what I got from it and also what I tend to believe regardless.
- November 17, 2013 at 6:03 PM
I like the prayer, Z...
As you know, there is much power in that, accomplishing more than we could ever imagine.
Maybe, this has nothing to do with what your post is about, but for some reason, I thought of it:
My mother was an invalid, and my husband and I cared for her for many years...and this is something that AOW can identify with, too.
Mother required care, 24/7, for several years, and even though we were in close proximity to several relatives, the only 'help' we ever got were criticisms, and harsh remarks made about us to others.
She had two sisters who came around at their convenience, but never ours, and the younger one was the worst at always checking things out, and finding fault with everything, to the paint that my husband demanded that she stay away...after which it was like a war, with some really harsh things said to us, and about us.
One day, as I was praying, I asked the Lord why my aunt wanted to hurt me, and why did she hate me, so? I was so hurt, and I poured my heart out to Him, with many tears.
Surprisingly, He did answer my question, but it was not what I had expected.
As I prayed, it became as clear to me, as a bell, that it wasn't that she hated me, at all...only that she loved my mother, her sister, so much.
The hurt and resentment just melted away, and I, immediately, called her and told her that she was welcome in our home, and would always be.
I had called her, many times, to tell her that she could visit Mother, again, and she always refused...but this time, she didn't.
Many times, since then, she has told me how very badly she felt about the way she had treated me, and that she loves me like her own daughter...and she does, I know.
I don't know why I wanted to tell this, but I did, and I thank you, again, for allowing any who wish, to express their faith, here.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is that when we get right down to it, prayer, and hope, really is the answer.

I think Jefferson nailed it when he said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots, and tyrants." It is classical good vs. evil. Of course it can't work when everyone is PC except the evil ones ...

Jan, I didn't see who wrote your comment until the end but, all the way through my reading, I knew it was you. When I saw "Jan," it didn't surprise me at all.
I love when you share things like this.
God bless you, Jan!

Z, That's the general thinking, though I don't know about soon. I think the elements of the situation will need to get pretty hot first. Things such as clear evidence of Iran producing a nuclear bomb(s). Or maybe it will begin by one of the others creating a situation that is beyond reason for Israel.
I'd sure think the situation is being actively managed by vermin at the UN and within enemy borders.
In the overall scheme, 5 years or 40 years from now will look about the same when reading history. I actually thought things would have occurred before now, so I'm no judge of timing.
And thanks for the reply as it affords me the opportunity to say my comment is all big picture stuff And that I So Much support your focus that we need to concentrate on the lovely things in our lives as priority one.
Throughout history, we can easily see that there was probably never a time when people couldn't focus on current events and be so negative about them that it had a real negative impact on their lives if they did.
We can't control such things. We can only decide to focus on and do things that are positive for ourselves and those around us. When we're 80, we will give a rats butt what pelosi did in 2013? Not me. In a free society people have the right to vote for morons who should be institutionalized rather than sent to congress.
But we can observe and comment.

Do you wish to flaunt a tanned body like that? Well, melatonin is here to help you! With its specific melanin enhancing peptides, it helps in inducing a dark and rich natural tan in the body that can be maintained for quite a long period.
Gone are the days when sunbathing was the only way to achieve that perfectly tanned body. With its negative effects growing by leaps and bounds, this injecting of peptides format is the option that is increasing its prevalence.
Clearly, tanning has got a new lease of life with this process!
What makes melatonin UK the most chosen option?
For the inhabitants of the West, having a dark rich tan has always been a matter of great envy. Previously, sunbathing was the only way to achieve that natural rich tan. However, it came with its set of problems as skin cancer, premature skin ageing, sunburns, rashes and exposure to UV rays of the sun. It is due to such skin related problems that alternative options were searched.
As a respite from this process, this injectable form of peptide hormone gained prominence in present times. Coming in powder form in vials, this melatonin is free from any potential side effect, and the positive effects are more than often, proven.
So, why care to wait for the sun when painless and innovative techniques are on the way? With this specific melatonin injection, the inherent tanning mechanism of the body is stimulated, and one's skin gets a naturally dark tone.
Explaining the process of inherent skin darkening
Melanin is one of the most important pigments of human body associated with providing color to eyes, hair and body. It is common knowledge that people with more melanin content in their body are dark-skinned. However, what if one wishes to get that natural look in an artificial manner?
To enhance this process via external mode, an introduction has been made with these melanin stimulating injections. Melatonin specifically targets a greater number of melanocortin receptors, which having a protective ring of amino acids, ensure better absorption.
Making one of the best defenses against skin cancer, this initially starts off by a small dosage that stimulates melanocyte receptors in the body promoting darkening process of the skin. With time and adjustments in the body, dosage is increased, and after completion of the course, one should take maintenance drugs to help in retaining this dark skin tone. This process guarantees retention of the external pigmentation and provides that tanned look!
Benefits of this process
In case you are in two minds as to why you should opt for this mode of external tanning rather than going in for a natural one, then it is important to note that:
- In comparison to natural sun tanning, this process can last up to a year with proper maintenance dosage.
- For people who have a fairer skin tone, with natural sun tan, chances are high that they will not be spread all over the body in an even manner. However, in this injecting process, a uniform format is maintained.
It's your turn to buy melatonin for attaining that refreshed look! Visit some reliable online stores. They sell verified sovepiller uden recept to give you the best outcomes. Time to place your order!

I bought a set of coins to remind us to practice and/or recognize kindness. Today, I gave one to a wonderful nurse at Mayo Clinic St Mary's hospital in Rochester MN, Brenda H.
John had surgery this week and is in the hospital at least until tomorrow. He's had tubes and monitors, been poked and prodded, lots of vital signs, blood draws, etc. Nobody likes being in the hospital. Brenda has been his nurse quite a bit of the time, and has been great. She has been working double shifts yet is still pleasant and helpful. She puts up with John's wry humor and complaints. She does her job very well and makes it easier for her patients.
Thank you, Brenda, for taking such good care of John and all of your patients.

Intro Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
NordVPN offers a VPN service in a price Which Allows its Users to browse anonymously and safely. Their virtual private network servers use OpenVPN tunneling protocol and AES 256-bit encryption (with double data protection). Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
When it comes to virtual private networks, Or VPNs, NordVPN has proved itself to be our service for securing your activities. The business has more than 5,100 servers across the planet, which makes it the largest service we have yet tested. It takes a strong stance on privacy for its clients and includes tools seen from the competition. NordVPN wraps all that up in a snazzy client that's consistent throughout every platform where it is offered, and it includes ad. For numerous features, its consumer experience, and service, it is a rare winner.
Click here to sign up for NordVPN.
What Is a VPN?
When the ARPANET was cobbled together by investigators They didn't give much thought to security or privacy. While the world wide web has changed a lot in the intervening years, it's still true that the web does little to secure your data and your identity. That is why you need a VPN.
When you switch on a VPN, it generates an Tunnel between your personal computer and a host controlled by the VPN service. All your internet traffic is routed through this tunnel, meaning that no one, not someone on the exact same network as you, can sneak a peek. It also prevents malicious network operators from intercepting your data or using DNS poisoning techniques to trick you into seeing pages that are phishing. A VPN also safeguards your web traffic from being tracked by your ISP, which is critically important now that ISPs can market user data.
Since your web traffic Seems to emanate From the VPN server and not your home computer, your IP address is hidden from the external world. As an IP address may be used by spies and advertisers to track your movements across the web, that is valuable. IP addresses can also be used to approximate your place, which is just another reason. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
VPNs have long been used by journalists and Political activists to get sites blocked by governments. It is also possible to use them to skip the blocks on streaming content that's limited to certain regions set. For example, if you jump into a VPN server in Canada, you might find you're in a position to watch for free in MLB matches. It is well worth noting that Netflix blocks VPN users, therefore a VPN that works with Netflix one day may be obstructed the next.
There is a Fantastic chance that you may have never Laid hands on a VPN before. If that is the case, don't worry! We've got a whole feature on the best way to prepare and use a VPN.
NordVPN Advantages
NordVPN is probably the most popular VPN supplier who claims To be The World's Most Secure VPN.
But I've seen these claims before. I bought NordVPN and decided to Put towards evaluations. Here are the experts I found…
Strict No Travels Policy
While some VPN providers keep some logs, NordVPN doesn't.
But they do monitor Some lesser significant data, such as:
- Service performance data (for recommending most appropriate servers)
- E-mail speech
- Payment information (but you can also use bitcoins)
That's the regular stuff that many (if not all) VPN suppliers are logging And it's nothing you should worry about. Particularly when NordVPNs payment processor is not tied up with their main firm.
Powerful Features & Add-Ons
While being relatively cheap, they do supply some Fantastic features Including:
- IP hiding: Yes
- Netflix access: Yes
- Kill-switch: They've got two different sorts of kill-switches: a user is now able to choose whether to shut a specific app or completely terminate the online connection in case of sudden dropout (system-wide kill-switch).
- 6 simultaneous connections
- Access to their DoubleVPN servers that encrypts data twice
- 4870+ fast and protected Servers
- Countries 62
- 6 simultaneous connections
Not only do they have software for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android they've detailed tutorials for Protocol connectivity for them and 40 other mobile OS, RaspberryPi's and routers.
- Kill Switch: NordVPN software automatically kills your connection if your VPN connectivity has been interrupted, blocking your apparatus or terminating certain apps from accessing the web.
- DNS Leak Protection: If you've set up your VPN connection manually (state you did not want to join via OpenVPN) or have recently reset your Windows, you're prone to DNS escapes. These DNS requests will then be wholly unprotected. NordVPN have implemented measures to protect you and negate such escapes.
- Onion Over VPN: For additional protection, or those desiring to visit the darkened web (TOR system ), NordVPN supplies you with the ability to route your traffic first through their VPN then send it to the Onion Router.
- SmartPlay: SmartPlay technology ensures you can access more than 400 geo-restricted streaming services; Netflix, Amazon Prime, Pandora, BBC, and others. With increasingly more VPN servers struggling to get Netflix, this is a welcome attribute. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
OpenVPN (among other tunneling protocols)
OpenVPN includes 256-AES-CBC using a 2048bit Diffie-Hellman key. I Generally prefer to see DH over RSA, due to the former allowing Perfect Forward Secrecy. On iOS and MacOS clients, you'll be encrypted via an IKEv2/IPsec protocol; AES-256-GCM and a 3072bit DH key,
In short, NordVPN has gone out on security and has employed Above industry standard encryption algorithms.
Double Data Protection
If you opt to turn this feature on, NordVPNs double encryption will Relay your info via not one, but two subsequent VPN servers, before it reaches the webpage or program you are attempting to get. By chaining your link through two VPN servers, your information gets encrypted double.
In addition to this (often unnecessary) dual encryption, the next VPN Server will probably be unaware of your IP address that is original and relations are made via TCP and UDP protocols. This really is a"one extra step" security feature. The huge majority of you are unlikely to ever require it, especially if you're using it for Netflix and torrenting unblocking.
Not to mention that the impracticality of the radically reduced speeds You are likely to incur.
NordVPN Rate is Stable And speedy
Ah, bones and the meat of any VPN inspection — independent, Meticulous and prolific speed testing.
Their speeds weren't anything to brag about when I reviewed.
However, when I re-did this rate test in December 2018 I was happy to See their rates.
To gauge Exactly How effective NordVPN is at securing your visitors, I Conducted several dozen speed evaluations in our offices in Europe, attached into the EU, UK, US and Asian servers.
And while the best VPNs was able to achieve speeds of 70 Mbps+ and up, NordVPN came out using 74.15 Mbps.
US Server
- Ping: 101ms
- Download: 56 Mbps
- Upload: 29 Mbps
On average, pretty great for a six thousand mile journey.
EU Server
- Ping: 37ms
- Download: 74 Mbps
- Upload: 48 Mbps
Decent speeds for EU.
Asia Server
- Ping: 211ms
- Download: 12 Mbps
- Upload: 5 Mbps
Bad for a Europe to Asia connection!
Overall, NordVPN is fast VPN provider. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
Works Great for Torrenting and Netflix USA
Since NordVPN has a Great Deal of servers they also work with Torrenting and bypassing geo-restrictions on certain websites like Netflix.
As soon as I tested NordVPN with Netflix it appeared to work.
I Must admit, not all servers are still currently functioning with Netflix, because we All understand how Netflix attempts to crack down IPs that belong to VPNs.
But 5 from 6 should do the job. Listed below are my Netflix test results:
NordVPN servers unblocking Netflix:
- United States (2)
- United Kingdom
- Netherlands
- Canada
NordVPN servers blocked by Netflix:
- Sweden
You can always get in touch You select the servers to your own streaming.
Moreover, torrenting is secure and quick also.
NordVPN has made special"P2P servers" that are solely meant for maintaining Your activities that are torrenting safe and private. You can get into the P2P servers through"specialty" servers list on their application.
No IP or DNS Leaks Located
Whenever I examine VPNs, I make multiple tests to see if they are Leaking my DNS or IP.
To make these true, I put my place to their USA server utilized 5 Different sites for checking DNS escapes:
- IPLeak.net
- Perfect-Privacy. Com DNS & IP leak evaluation
- Browserleaks.com for WebRTC escapes
- IPC.ax
Overall, I could be certain Your IP nor DNS will likely never get Leaked when using NordVPN.
Moreover, when I did research on Chrome extension escape evaluation, NordVPN Was one of the few that didn't have to fix it as it was not leaking (read the entire case study here).
Found in Panama (Safe Jurisdiction, No Data Retention Law)
According to their site (NordVPN.com), NordVPN was established 2008 in Panama and is operated by Tefincom co S.A.
For some, this can raise a red flag.
However, that is common practice.
All VPNs are located in independent countries that don't Share information on logging (Switzerland, Singapore, Caymans, British Virgin Islands and so on).
NordVPN definitely hides This information well enough. And it is good for their users, also.
But when I actually paid for the evaluation account to write this NordVPN Inspection, my payment went into CloudVPN Inc (located in the US). So aren't they really located in Panama such as the claim?
To be honest — this makes a whole lot of sense. They are"officially" based in Panama that helps them to prevent any data retention laws. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
Knowledgeable Customer Support via Live Chat
NordVPN can be contacted by [email protected] or via Live chat.
After reviewing over three dozen different VPN providers, hundreds Of hours of analyzing, studying and reviewing, we desire for assistance or have queries.
Whether it's to double check the security to your router, or A troubleshoot on a rig that is built, you'll be forced to deal with the customer care of your VPN of choice.
If you're a newcomer or not technically inclined? You May Have some Technical questions.
Any VPN worth their salt will have a database of tutorials, Guides and informational articles as well as live speedy email & chat support.
Click here to sign up for NordVPN.
Live Email & Chat
No distinct to the very best of the best, NordVPN has recently started Offering chat that will help you with any question you may have. I utilized their live chat twice, for also an open-ended question and an encryption query.
Both times the Client Support Rep was quick to assist, but came with Copy & paste answer.
If You opt to utilize their service Or when the chat agent did not fully solve your issue, you will receive another assistant who will help you with your own VPN. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
As important as live assistance for questions is the enormous Directory of service posts you'll have access to. For a subject as specialized as networking, making it accessible to your layman is no small task.
After skimming to any support and going through their directory I estimate NordVPN to possess tutorials and well over 500 guides.
Works Great for Torrenting and Netflix USA
Since NordVPN includes a lot of servers that they work well with Torrenting and bypassing.
As soon as I tested NordVPN with Netflix it seemed to work.
I have to confess, not all servers are still functioning with Netflix, because we All know how Netflix tries to crack down certain IPs that appeal to VPNs.
However 5 from 6 should work. Here are my Netflix test results:
NordVPN servers unblocking Netflix:
- United States (2)
- United Kingdom
- Netherlands
- Canada
NordVPN servers

You can get in touch You choose the right servers for your own streaming.
Torrenting is secure and quick too.
NordVPN has made particular"P2P servers" which are exclusively meant for keeping Your activities safe and private. You can access the P2P servers via"specialty" servers list on their program. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
Your Privacy With NordVPN
When you use a VPN, it has as much insight Your ISP does. It could examine every piece of information passing through its system if it so desired. Additionally, it can identify you which makes it feasible to monitor online. That is why it's important that before you purchase a VPN subscription, you understand and are familiar with the measures the company has made to protect your privacy.
An agent from NordVPN promised me that The company does not insert advertisements nor does it profit from the sale of user data. As it gathers, the company representative told me that NordVPN simply collects aggregated app-crash data and voluntary diagnostic data. The agent also confirmed that NordVPN does not collect any personally identifiable information. All of this info is available from the company's privacy policy.
2018, in November, NordVPN declared that it Had passed a third party audit of its own no-log coverage by one of those"big four audit firms." It unites several VPN businesses, including TunnelBear VPN, that are undertaking audits. The effort shows that the companies are seriously interested in safety and customer privacy, although Every one of these audits differs. Hopefully firms will soon follow suit.
NordVPN relies in and operates under the Legal jurisdiction of Panama, where there are no laws requiring the enterprise to retain data for a mandatory period. The company says it does not collect log information, therefore it has no information it could actually hand over in response to a subpoena.
It's difficult, however, to fully endorse the Privacy practices of any VPN company. To do this will require access to hardware and this company's code, as well as the technical expertise. Nevertheless, based on my discussions with NordVPN and reading the company's privacy policy, it appears to be saying all the right things. As always, however, you as the consumer must ask yourself whether you are familiar with expecting any given company with your own personal information. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
Hands On With NordVPN
With this review, I utilized a Lenovo ThinkPad T460s notebook. Some VPN services prefer to use the VPN client software built into the system instead of creating a standalone program. NordVPN offers both options. I completed all my tests using the NordVPN Windows client.
Every VPN company I have reviewed Far offers handy apps rather than requiring that you set your VPN. NordVPN has provided an excellent user experience with its programs. At testing, the Windows client shared a great deal of design attributes with the NordVPN programs, using a blue map because its attention. It is somewhat whimsical, with submarines and ships on the cartoon seas, but it's a simple way to pick the server you want.
An internet search bar at the Peak of the screen makes Short work of locating a server are missing, or you can view the servers as a list. The servers that are technical are placed by this last option at the top, and it provides useful analytics concerning the load on any server that is particular.
Clicking the Quick Connect option at the top Of the display or the System Tray, connects you to the VPN server that NordVPN believes is best (normally, the nearest and therefore fastest). That's a great choice for individuals unfamiliar with VPN solutions, as is the Settings option that compels NordVPN to start and connect on startup.
You can change The DNS resolution support, although NordVPN utilizes its own choice. The client includes options to connect on startup, however, it doesn't have a split tunneling feature that lets you route some traffic beyond the VPN's encrypted tunnel. TunnelBear is 1 VPN service that does include this feature, though utilizing it does reduce your protection.
From the NordVPN configurations you can also Pick a TCP or UDP connection, and even choose to connect to exactly what the firm calls"obfuscated servers," which it says helps circumvent authorities VPN blocking. A Switch that shuts off access to the web for applications is also included by the customer, if your computer become disconnected from the VPN. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
NordVPN Drawbacks
~ 30 Days, refund Can Take
Although NordVPN provides Lots of the people, Money-back Guarantee Have contacted us saying that it functions, but with a caveat…
It takes NordVPN almost 30 days to process your refund.
While this isn't a large problem, it isn't a very good user experience. Many VPNs provide instant refunds using a max waiting period of 7 days.
But, I would not refund (nor did not ) NordVPN, therefore I doubt you'll need To use that feature in any way.
Business Not Transparent Enough
As stated above, upon my evaluation, NordVPN seems to be connected with CloudVPN Inc — A business located in the U.S. which is in contradiction of what they state on their site.
But that does not mean they are not private or really located in the USA.
They gave me a reply, though…
And by thinking it left a lot of sense. So I would not Segment it to cons.
Cost and Characteristics
NordVPN supports Android, Chrome, Firefox, IOS Windows with programs that are useful, and macOS. NordVPN's mobile customers both permit you to purchase subscriptions through their various app stores. You can configure a few routers to link via NordVPN. Doing this provides coverage for all of the devices on your network, such as home devices which can't run a VPN on their own.
NordVPN offers four pricing tiers: $11.95 per Month, $83.88 annually, $95.75 each two years, or $107.55 every 3 decades. The business accepts credit cards, of course, but also PayPal, different cryptocurrencies, and other payment methods. NordVPN includes a 30-day money-back warranty. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
NordVPN also offers a three-day free trial But it still has not made it easy to get, and, considering the constraints, it's almost not worth it, years. There are lots of capable and generous free VPN providers out there. ProtonVPN is our best pick for VPNs, since it places no information limitation on its users.
You can use up to six devices concurrently On NordVPN, even though there are a few limitations concerning connecting devices to the same server. That is still outstanding, as most VPN services limit you to five simultaneous connections. Should you need more than six apparatus, look at installing NordVPN in your router (as mentioned previously ). 10 apparatus slots are notably provided by cyberGhost, and both Avira Phantom VPN and Windscribe VPN put no limitation on the number of devices you can use. Services allow you to add a subscription for a fee and more apparatus slots.
As of this writing Top-rated VPN service is all about $10.68. NordVPN is especially above that typical, but its host of features, excellent apps, and core support justify the price tag. That said, other VPN services have lower-cost and flexible pricing programs. KeepSolid VPN Unlimited$8.99 at KeepSolid, as an example, provides a life subscription, if you happen to want to hedge your bets on collateral for the 22nd century. Private Internet Access, on the other hand, costs just $6.95 per month and shares an Editors' Choice award using NordVPN.
One of the advantages of using a VPN is that your IP address is concealed from the external world. The issue is that some websites and services can blacklist that IP address. For that, you will need to buy a static IP address, which NordVPN can also provide. For a $70.00 charge, you can procure a dedicated IP address on a NordVPN server in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, or the United States. Static IP addresses are handy if you're concerned about VPN traffic being obstructed, and NordVPN's wide choice of US and Western European IP addresses signifies your new static IP will go unrecognized. Notice, however, you have to email NordVPN and request a dedicated IP address. Other services, for example TorGuard VPN$4.16 in TorGuard – 24 month program and VPN Unlimited, provide static IP addresses as simple add-ons to an existing subscription.
NordVPN for iPhone
NordVPN for iPhone proceeds NordVPN's Tradition of supplying exactly the user experience supported platforms. On iPhone or even iPad, all of the features feel familiar to customers of other NordVPN products.
The iOS variant doesn't have some Of the handy alternatives that you locate in the Android edition, due to iOS's quirks. Still, this well-designed app feels very much at home on the platform of Apple. NordVPN additionally brings its Kill Switch and Smart Reconnect feature, which is welcome.
Unsurprisingly, NordVPN gets an Editors' Choice for VPN for the iPhone. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
NordVPN for Android
The Android customer for NordVPN is Sleek, with a new interface which retains the map but presents a more glowing, stylish appearance.
NordVPN has taken great pains to Supply a Familiar experience throughout every device that the business supports, but each client is tweaked to work best on each platform. On Android, as an instance, you can get into the company specialized servers. We particularly like that you can browse a list of available servers in a nation, not just a category.
For the excellent collection of features and Fantastic port NordVPN is an Editors' Choice for Android VPN apps.
NordVPN for both Chrome and Firefox
In addition to computers and phones, NordVPN Provides a Firefox add-on a Chrome plugin and, more lately. Browser plug-ins for VPNs are becoming more common, and it is a development I love.
When busy, they secure Transmitted by means of your browser, leaving the rest untouched. This is a compromise in safety, but it can be more effective for several tasks, such as gaming using a VPN. A business representative tells me that both extensions have been encrypted using TLS 1.2.
The NordVPN browser VPN lacks the granularity Of the full scale customer on Firefox and Android. You can't connect to servers that are certain, as an example places. All these plug-ins are, nevertheless, easy to use and lightweight, and they include all the organization's CyberSec security, which I discussed previously. They have ability to block WebRTC, which can leak information. Nevertheless, I prefer the plug-ins out of TunnelBear, among which serves as a VPN connection and the other.
NordVPN for Mac
As with Android, there are a Couple of flourishes That make the customer for NordVPN feel right at home on a Mac. The main view is that the lovely and comfortable monochromatic map, with submarines and its cartoon boats. But the left tray moves in with a slickness standard of their best apps. Clicking the magnifying glass to search the available servers blurs the main page from. These are little tweaks, but many VPNs services don't require the time to actually optimize their clients for certain platforms.
After I last tested my lone, the Mac app Criticism was that NordVPN's excellent technical servers are too tough to find through the Mac client interface. You need to apply exceptional filters into the complete list, or notice that the small links at the bottom of the webpage. These needs to be front and centre to allow the consumer. I also want you could select different VPN protocols, but, on the other hand, NordVPN already utilizes my preferred option, OpenVPN.
Regrettably, NordVPN performed poorly in my Last batch of macOS VPN speed tests. Nevertheless, the attributes and overall expertise of NordVPN outweigh the rate outcomes, and NordVPN is among our VPN customers for Macs. Can I Torrent With Nordvpn
Do I Suggesting Using NordVPN?
Slimming down, I really do recommend NordVPN.
It is secure, safe and quick. Plus it doesn't come with a huge learning Curve as some other VPNs like TorGuard or AirVPN.
Their host park is the largest I know of, 4870+ servers in 60+ countries.
It isn't the fastest VPN, however the performance is stable and fast. I wouldn't If they land 1st any-time soon if they keep up the good performance at low prices, Be amazed.
Will see what the future brings, but for now — I'm pretty much Advocating NordVPN, particularly if your budget is limited.
In my experience, the person would Rather risk with no protection than deal with bothersome security program. That NordVPN succeeds. It has everything we expect in a VPN and some, with technical servers for Tor-Over-VPN and double security being the support's standout features.
