We all remember growing up listening to our parents talking about their shopping experiences. I remember how important brand loyalty was when it came to the products that they bought. In my youth, you build customer loyalty with quality service and a consistent positive experience from their products, services or their location. However, our time is a little bit different. Customer loyalty is built on rewarding your customers for continuing to shop with you. Trying to implement a system like this yourself can seem like a monumental undertaking. As a small business with a limited budget, how can you focus on customer loyalty and retention?
Customer Loyalty & Retention
The truth is, you need a system in place to manage everything that goes into building customer loyalty and retaining those customers over time. One system that is in place, that has gained over 100,000 users is a system called flok. flok is a customer loyalty app, which enables you to put a system in place for your small business. You can set up your own reward system to retain customers for a longer period of time and keep them coming back.
How do you do this? flok enables you to give your customers a virtual punch card that keeps track of every time they make a purchase from you. Systems like this are used by larger businesses all the time. For example a large pizza chain that I order from rewards you with a free pizza after you place so many orders with them. However, fok places its loyalty card app in the hands of small businesses, making it easy to implement in many different types of business settings.
flok doesn't stop there. The app also enables you to send notifications to your members, helping you to keep in touch with them, while cutting down on advertising costs. This is a great way to stay in contact with them directly. You can also integrate social media with flok, making the entire experience engaging. If customers have any questions or concerns, you can also integrate chat in order to connect directly with them and resolve any issues quickly and effectively.
Benefits of the App
The reason this works so well for small businesses, is that it keeps customers coming into the store over and over again. Much like websites and gamification, consumers love receiving incentives for their efforts. They feel like they're getting more for their money. Speaking from experience, I like to feel like I am getting something for shopping exclusively at a certain location. Implementing this and small businesses can help drive consistent revenue to your doorstep for doing what you're already doing, which is providing quality products and services.
You're also minimizing your costs for retaining customers long-term. Instead of offering a deal such as 50% off, or buy one get one free, you're offering something for free in exchange for numerous purchases. If it takes 10 purchases for someone to get a free item, it is essentially like giving them a 10% discount on every purchase.
Physical loyalty cards are dying out. No one likes carrying all of those cards around. I know that I have around 5-7 on my keychain now. One thing that consumers usually have with them at all times is their cell phone. Integrating a system that is simply an app on their phone means that they'll never need to carry around anything extra. Also, it means that they'll never miss out on punching their card, because they left it at home. For small businesses, this increases the likelihood that their customers will actually use it!
Applications are Endless
The business applications of flok are limitless. Here are a few examples. If you are a restaurant, you can reward your customers with a free meal after so many visits. If you are a nail salon or a spa, you can reward customers in different ways. You can reward them for their number of visits, or you could also reward them up for reoccurring purchases on certain packages. If you are a car wash or a dry cleaner, you could set up a reward so that every 10th visit is free. This would also work for industries such as movie theaters or attractions, too.
You're in Complete Control
You don't have to try to wedge your business into a rigid system. You simply set up the number of punches required for a reward, and what your customers will receive for that reward. You can also send them notifications of offers, which increases the likelihood of their response. This is great for reaching out to customers that haven't purchased in a while. It's a great way to get them back in for a visit.
You'll also build brand recognition along with brand loyalty, because you have control over the look of your app. Choose brand colors, upload your logo and a cover photo.
Everything is Virtual
With flok, you have the advantage of having everything tracked digitally. This means you'll always know how many members you have and who is taking advantage of your rewards system. Also, you can track punches virtually, so no one can take advantage of you or your rewards system to gain unearned rewards. This all gives you peace of mind knowing that everything is secure, tracked, and all managed within a simple, streamlined app.

Tammy shares how she learned that without God, healing wouldn't be complete. After having a terrible argument with a teenage daughter, she woke up the next day and said to her husband: "I'm going to church. I'm taking my kids. You can either how with me and save our family or don't, and I don't know where we'll be." Her husband responded with, "I'm coming!" Please listen in how God healed Tammy and what lead her to create Trinity Pines Ranch, which uses horses to heal trauma with 100% effectiveness.

Germany (NI) – The website has a huge following in the US, but anti hate speech laws may hinder its German success. For many people, headlines such as 'Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy' and 'Political correctness protects Muslim rape…
Tag: Fake News
The "strip tease" of the European Union
The European Parliament (EP), on November 23, 2016, approved a non-legislative resolution to counter or combat "disinformation campaigns and propaganda of countries such as Russia, and non-state actors such as Daesh, Al-Qaeda and other violent terrorist groups".
Presented by the Polish MP Anna Fotyga of the group of European Conservatives and Reformists, this resolution affirms that the Russian government increased its campaign against the European Union (EU) after having annexed Crimea and launched a "hybrid war" in Donbass (Ukraine).
Egyptian Police Bust 'Faked Syria Propaganda' Ring
The Egyptian Ministry of Interior (MOI) posted on Facebook that they've arrested four men and one woman for allegedly making videos to be distributed as "footage from Aleppo, Syria."
The suspects were arrested in the city of Port Said, allegedly mid photo shoot with a 12 year old girl. The girl was "wearing a white dress coloured in red, in a way that resembles blood" and holding a teddy bear (both covered in fake blood) in an area that "looked like Aleppo" but was actually just ruins in Port Said.
Foreign Meddling in Our Vote? Remember How This Feels.
During the Cold War, the CIA did everything it's accusing Russia of doing today — and more.
Even in an election year as shot through with conspiracy theories as this one, it would have been hard to imagine a bigger bombshell than Russia intervening to help Donald Trump. But that's exactly what the CIA believes happened, or so unnamed "officials brief on the matter" told the Washington Post.
While Russia had long been blamed for hacking email accounts linked to the Clinton campaign, its motives had been shrouded in mystery. According to the Post, though, CIA officials recently presented Congress with a "a growing body of intelligence from multiple sources" that "electing Trump was Russia's goal."
The Thin Line Between Political Censorship and Fighting Fake News in Iran
The Iranian government is reportedly taking steps to expand regulations on large public news channels on the instant messenger Telegram. The move would apparently affect groups with more than 5,000 subscribers.
It remains unclear, however, if state officials seek dramatic changes to controls on these online communities (ostensibly in the battle against "fake news"), or if the government merely plans to extend and continue existing Internet controls.

Anyone familiar with New York's downtown theatre is aware of The Wooster Group's significant place in its relatively brief history. If their best stuff was before your time, never fear: catch the occasional video clip from the extensive Wooster Group archives on the "dailies" section of their website. But don't skip over the delightful slices of Wooster Group life that make up the majority of the "dailies;" hysterical and informative, the short videos are veritable pieces of art in themselves.

The night before his first day of kindergarten, Wei Jia refused to talk about it. He was five years old, and he had spent the summer playing in Sancha, wearing nothing but a dirty tank top and a pair of underpants. Sancha is a small village in the mountains north of Beijing, and, along with a Chinese-American friend named Mimi Kuo, I rent a weekend house there from Wei Jia's relatives. The village is home to around a hundred and fifty peasants, who make their living primarily from orchards. That Sunday evening, while we were eating dinner, I asked Wei Jia if he was excited about going to school the next day. He ignored the question.
Earlier in the day, Mimi and I had made the two-hour drive from Beijing. It was the first week of September, and the walnuts had come into season; peasants carried long sticks that they used to knock the nuts onto the ground. Along the road we saw dozens of men, some on bicycles, their sticks poised as if for a joust. We also passed a topless elderly woman. Her silver hair was well groomed, and she walked at a determined pace. I pulled over to the side of the road.
"Leave me alone!" the woman shouted when Mimi stepped out of the car. "There's nothing wrong!" Tears shined on her cheeks; she clutched her shirt in one hand. When the woman stormed past, we could see fresh bruises across her back.
We drove a bit farther and tried again. She began screaming the moment Mimi opened the door. "I'm not going back there!" the woman shouted. "I'm not going back!" She veered out into the road, causing an oncoming car to slow down. Perhaps in the next village there would be somebody who knew her and would help. It was only two miles; surely she would make it that far. This kind of thing happens in the countryside, and sometimes an outsider's attempt to help only does more harm. "Mei banfa," the Chinese say—nothing can be done.
At seven o'clock the following morning, we left for school. Wei Jia wore khaki trousers and a red T-shirt. I had given him a new Mickey Mouse backpack, and his mother had put a pencil box in one of the pockets. Inside the box was a single pencil. The pencil was newly sharpened; the trousers still had a crease. It was the first time I had ever seen Wei Jia in clean clothes.
I'd known the boy's family since 2001, when Mimi and I began spending time in Sancha. I went to the village because it was quiet—there were no restaurants, no shops, no bus service. When I sat at my desk to write, I usually heard only the sounds of rural life: the bray of a mule, the wind in the walnut trees. Three or four times a week, a flatbed truck rumbled up the hill to sell basic groceries. Twice a day, in the morning and just before sunset, the government propaganda speakers on the telephone poles screeched to life. Village announcements, national news, Communist Party slogans—all of it echoed off the valley's high rock walls. But rarely in Sancha did I hear the sound of children playing. The local elementary school closed years ago, because young families tended to move away; all across China, peasants have been leaving rural areas for the economic opportunity of the cities. The few families that remained in Sancha were small, because of the government's planned-birth policies, and the children attended schools in the more heavily populated villages down in the valley, ten miles away, where they either boarded or lived with relatives.
That year, Wei Jia was the only kindergartner from Sancha. He was going to live with his grandparents in Xingying, a village with an elementary school. On the morning of his first day, Mimi drove the car and the boy sat on my lap, in the front seat. Wei Ziqi, his father, and Cao Chunmei, his mother, rode in the back. Between them sat Wei Ziqi's older brother—the Idiot.
Once, I asked Cao Chunmei what the Idiot's real name was, but she didn't know. Everybody simply called him the shazi, which means "idiot." He was in his forties. Most villages in China seem to have a shazi or two from that generation, because in the past the peasant diet often lacked iodine. A pregnant woman who does not consume enough iodine runs the risk of bearing a mentally handicapped child. Nowadays, the widespread distribution of iodized salt has dramatically reduced such birth defects in rural China.
Generally, the Idiot seemed as happy as anybody in Sancha. He ate well, and he spent his days on the Weis' front porch, high on the mountain. From the porch one could see for miles: the tile-roofed village, the winding road, the ruined traces of the Great Wall atop the mountain peaks. These were the boundaries of the Idiot's world. He couldn't do much work in the fields, and he couldn't talk. Whenever he wanted to say something, he contorted his face with such passion that it seemed as if the power of speech had fled precisely at that moment and he was just beginning to grapple with its loss. But in fact he had never spoken. The villagers ignored his attempts to communicate.
This was the first time I had seen the Idiot leave Sancha, and I asked Wei Ziqi why he was coming with us. "We have a little problem to take care of at the government office," he said.
Wei Jia leaned forward with both hands on the dashboard as we drove out of the village. He rarely got to ride in an automobile, and the experience for him was anything but passive. At every turn, I felt him edging toward the windshield, trying to see what was around the bend. He lurched forward whenever we reached the crest of a hill. I have never seen a child's car seat in China, and I was keenly aware of the fact that I should put Wei Jia in the back; but it would have broken his heart. And so I held him tightly.
We came down from the mountains, past the freshly cut stalks of wheat and corn in the valley. The men with sticks were going at the walnuts; husks crunched beneath our tires. Children walked along the road. "See, they have backpacks, too," Cao Chunmei said. "They're going to school just like you." Wei Jia's arms were stiff against the dash.
As we approached Bohai Township, Wei Ziqi asked Mimi to stop at the government office. Then he explained why the Idiot had come along.
"The government is supposed to pay a monthly fee to help us take care of him," he said. "That's the law. I've asked the Party Secretary in Sancha about it, but she hasn't helped. So the only thing to do is to come here ourselves. I'll ask them to pay the fee now, and if they don't, then I'll leave the Idiot until they're willing to pay it. It's their responsibility."
"You're going to leave him at the government office?" Mimi asked.

Five Things You Didn't Know About Soccer
1. The oldest soccer club was founded, obviously, in England. It was FC Sheffield, established in 1857 and still active at the amateur level in the 7th English soccer league. Furthermore, FC Sheffield has never surpassed their amateur level, evolving over time only within the inferior echelons of English soccer.
2. Having no other clubs to compete with the games took place between the players of the same team and the criteria for creating the teams were pretty simple: married vs. unmarried or employed vs. unemployed. But, in 1862, in Sheffield were already 15 soccer clubs.
3. The oldest derby of the planet took place in the 7th English league between the old FC Sheffield and FC Hallam. This game is debated each and every year, for already 150 years.
4. The oldest stadium in the world is Sandygate Road, inaugurated in 1804, with the purpose to host cricket games. It was modified with the appearance of the local soccer team, FC Hallam, and from 1860 till present, FC Hallam had all its games only on this stadium.
5. The first soccer tournament took place in Sheffield, Great Britain. Youdan Cup was it's name, under the name the sponsor of the competition. Thomas Youdan was the director of a local theater, attrackted 12 teams (FC Hallam, FC Heeley, Wellington, Milton, Garrick, Mackenzie, Broomhall, Pitsmoor, Fir Vale, Mechanics, Norton and Norfolk). The final from 5th of March 1867 took place between FC Hallam and Norfolk, the first ones adjudging the cup, with the value of 2.000 pounds. FC Hallam is still keeping in the display the historical trophy, after it was stolen and recovered from in 1997 from an antiques collector, in exchange for 2.000 pounds.

After releasing the Fever Ray album 'Plunge' in 2017, Karin Dreijer wanted to work with as many women and non-binary people as possible on the subsequent live tour, occupying the male-dominated performance space in an already male-dominated music industry.
They worked with six collaborators on the production and design of a live show, and – as 'Plunge' focused on themes of gender, age, sexuality and motherhood – it was fitting that five of six collaborators were over 40 years old, and four had children. The resulting shows were an equally fitting celebration of inclusion where women, and non-binary people, were in a safe space to express themselves and to get lost in the music. And, given the goose bump-inducing reaction to Dreijer's entrance, they are.
Fever Ray's latest release, 'Live At The Troxy', attempts to capture that feeling on record. Often live albums don't quite work, they miss something fundamental about the performance – usually the experience of witnessing it live – and recordings can feel slightly flat and muddy. There are of course good live albums: Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, 65daysofstatic, Neil Young and Arrested Development have all released records that really translate the essence of performance in a solely audio format.
One thing that's striking about this particular live album is just how many amazing songs Dreijer, and Fever Ray, have. It's the definition of a greatest hit set that doesn't let up from the incendiary 'An Itch' to exhilarating 'Mama's Hand'. By the time 'This Country' kicks in, you're giddy with what you've just heard. 'This Country' legitimately goes off, the crowd rallying behind Dreijer and her wonky synths and politically charged lyrics about abortions, nuclear power and conformity. As the hits and deep cuts build and build, you get swept away in the euphoric ride.
While 'Live at the Troxy' does a good job of trying to capture and recontextualise the Fever Ray live experience, it doesn't quite pull it off. This is down to trying to capture a 3D, 360 degree experience in mere audio: you get an idea of how good the gig was, but it doesn't quite do it justice without visuals. However, Dreijer and her vocals – their clarity, and her charisma – are still the stars of the show.

Another icon of music has passed away today, with the loss of David Bowie at the age of 69.
Born David Robert Jones on 8th January 1947, Bowie's innovative style made him a star of the 70's and 80's with hits such as Space Oddity, Life On Mars, Ashes To Ashes and Let's Dance, earning him 5 UK Number One singles and 8 Number One albums. He was set to perform live for the final time at Glastonbury this year, but sadly, Bowie didn't make it to the show. He died on Monday 11th Janaury 2016 after a battle with cancer. David touched the lives of many people, including the Presenters and DJs of Hillz FM, who will pay tribute to their hero this week. Liam Cook will play 3 David Bowie songs on Good Morning Hillfields this Tuesday (7am, 12th January). David Buckle will remember an idol of his genre in the 60's, 70's and 80's hour (Tuesday 12th January, 5pm) Hillz's resident Rock expert Keith Fabrique will dedicate his Rock Show to Bowie on Wednesday (10am, 13th Wednesday) and Noizee B will also showcase some of Bowie's best tracks on Friday (15th Janaury, 3pm)
Hillz would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends and fans of David Bowie at this difficult time. A life well lived which will never be forgotten. RIP David Bowie 1947-2016

😍On this episode of [ Let's Cook with Teelip ] – roots veg – into cake and mash.
Puréed carrots and sweet yams to make cakes and potatoes into yummy mash! 🤩
👍It's healthier to use it to build the bulk of the cake with coconut flour and raisins / cranberries so all natural sweetness! Added sour cream, soy milk and butter, even some yeast as I wanted to test how it will affect the texture, it does have some leavening effect but not enough to counter the density of the roots veg purée, but still it has the slight bread chewiness in it. Eat it with home made chocolate butter cream! Delish 😋
Homage to my childhood 80s and it's Stranger Things day!!#LetsCookWithTeelip #StrangerFoodThings #retro #80s #RootsVeg

Protocol veterans Stadiumx are back on Protocol Recordings with their new track "Dangerous Vibes," a tune that feels perfectly fitting for their massive return to the dance music scene. The powerhouse Hungarian duo teamed up with fellow producing duo Going Deeper to create "Dangerous Vibes," which has elements of energetic progressive house, experimental bass and inspiring vocals by MC Flipside. The track begins with a driving, deep four-on-the-floor beat underneath of lyrics like "My whole life I've been told that music was meant to inspire us… music is supposed to be that inner voice that unifies people," a sentiment that any avid music fan feels on a deeply personal level. The drop is the truly "dangerous" part about this track, though the heavy bass and serrating synths lend a party-worthy element to the track that is sure to have fans losing their minds at every festival this season!

Greensboro (formerly Greensborough) is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina.[1] It is the third-largest city by population in North Carolina and the county seat and largest city in Guilford County and the surrounding Piedmont Triad metropolitan region. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 269,666,[2] and in 2015 the estimated population was 285,342.[4] Three major interstate highways (Interstate 85, Interstate 40 and Interstate 73) in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina were built to intersect at this city.

The residential street turns 35, but it still does not seem familiar to us. A normal side street in Vienna, marked only with friendly signs? Nothing in the design of most of these streets indicates that the area was actually created for children. And who knows or sees already that only pace is allowed and driving through generally prohibited?
The StVO is not respected. Cars drive through, and that much faster 5 km / h. Parking lots still play the main role here, as on almost all streets in Vienna. A bad planning?
In recent years, attempts have been made to provisionally close existing information gaps on individual streets. The signs were also painted on the road or additional instructions such as "residential road - passage forbidden" attached.
But has the goal been achieved that residential streets are actually used by children? In many residential streets there is little space to play due to parking cars. Apart from that, due to the lack of design, children do not even get the idea to step onto this normal street.

Title: One Night in Santiago
Series: Stanton Family (Novella)
Author: Audra North
Publisher: Entangled: Flaunt
Release Date: December 30, 2013
Pages: 58
Buy Link: Amazon
Lily Stanton's vacation goes from bad to worse when a storm strands her in a foreign country, arguing with an arrogant—and very sexy—stranger over the last available hotel room.
Successful CEO Bruno Komarov wasn't expecting the gorgeous woman checking in at the reception desk to challenge him over a room. Even more surprising, he actually enjoys their exchange.
But when Lily proposes a compromise—she'll take the bed and he can sleep on the couch—Bruno pushes his attraction aside and assures himself that this can remain strictly business. After all, they're both adults capable of keeping their hands to themselves. They'll share the room, get a good night's sleep, and be off to their respective destinations in the morning.
What could possibly happen in just one night?
Romantic and heartwarming!!!
I am in love with this story! The attraction was undeniable. However, Bruno's self-control was unbelievable. If it wasn't for Lily's advance, Bruno probably would have tamped down his desire and respected her space. Oh my, what a wonderful man he was!
Lily had had a terrible week, maybe even terrible few years. She was successful in her own right, she had confidence, yet she also was secretly insecure. She was ridden with guilt about everything in her life. One of my favorite scenes was after she talked to her sister. Bruno's response to her was absolutely touching. Really, if every woman could find a man like that, all will be right in the world.
Bruno was such a dream...
Not only his manners and his personality, but also behind closed doors. Oh my. What a sexy man he was. Basically, you all have to read this book. Otherwise, it's like missing out on a vital part of life. Why would you want to miss such a thing?

He doesn't expect to come home to a stranger pointing a loaded gun at his chest— a tough yet beautiful woman that Sam hired as the house manager. Colt senses there's more to Angelina Morales than meets the eye and he's determined to find out what she's hiding…and why.
Colt's return brings new challenges. Younger brother Nick has been Sam's right-hand man at the ranch for years and isn't thrilled at having Colt insert himself into Double S affairs. And the ranch's contentious relationship with the citizens of Gray's Glen asks all the Stafford men to examine their hearts about what it truly means to be a neighbor. And as Wall Street recovers, will Colt succumb to the call of the financial district's wealth and power—or finally the courage to stay in the saddle for good?

Here we have another New Guild Shapeguitar from the late 1970s called an S-60. I had wanted a Guild S-60 for some time and the only one I'd found was listed at $1200 which is hundreds more than I paid for my S300. This one popped up on eBay with some not-so-great pictures and a less-than-stellar description with an nice opening bid. Since I was the only one who bid I got it for a great price!
The S-60 is the entry-level into the Guild electric guitars of the era and if you've read my other reviews you'll know that I have a thing for high-end Guilds, but as you'll read I have a soft spot for these guitars as well. Let's take a look and see if this 1977 Guild S-60 holds up to my fond memories.

"The Internet's broken and that's bad news…" – Cory Doctorow at ConveyUX
"The Internet's broken and that's bad news, because everything we do today involves the Internet and everything we'll do tomorrow will require it. But governments and corporations see the net, variously, as a perfect surveillance tool, a perfect pornography distribution tool, or a perfect video on demand tool—not as the nervous system of the 21st century. Time's running out. Architecture is politics. The changes we're making to the net today will prefigure the future our children and their children will thrive in—or suffer under."

Research shows that by not doing stimulus mining in advance of a brainstorming session you decrease your odds of success by 70%. People often think I know my industry, I know my competitors what else could I possibly need to know? Actually, a lot. To have the ability to create truly game changing innovations stimulus mining is a must. It is very important to take the time and spend the time to learn more -- it isn't optional. Learning more will also, help to eliminate fear when tackling new ideas and projects.
When prepping for a brainstorming session there are three types of mining:
Classic Mining
Almost all companies and people do classic mining. What is going on in my market? What are my competitors doing? Do my customers have challenges that need to be solved?
Tech Mining
When mining for technology wisdom and patent mining are important. What is the latest academic research in my industry? Do we own patents that can help my challenge? Does someone else have a patent I can purchase that might help me?
Stretch Mining
Where is the future of my industry? What are other industries doing that might help me? I work in pharmaceuticals and have a foaming issue - has anyone in the beverage industry solved a foaming issue?

A rough look, high prices, and perfect privacy!
Perfect Privacy VPN is based out of Zug, Switzerland. Its parent company is called Vectura Datamanagement Limited Company. While not a huge company, it has undoubtedly left its mark on the VPN industry. Perfect Privacy has been around since 2008 and it seems that ever since then, this VPN software has been all you need for, well, perfect privacy.
Now, let us detail what we found when running tests for this Perfect Privacy VPN review.
Security and privacy
This service can provide all you need to feel secure and anonymous:
- Dedicated bare-metal VPN servers
- Secure tunneling protocols (and several not-not-so-secure ones): OpenVPN, IPSec, PPTP, SSH2, Squid, and SOCKS5
- IPv6 ready
- No DNS or WebRTC leaks.
- Multi-hop VPN chains (cascading connections)
- Three Stealth VPN protocols: Stunnel, SSH, and Obfsproxy3
- Customizable kill switch (Firewall)
- TrackStop Filter (protection against ad-tracking, browser fingerprinting, malware infections, and phishing sites.
- NeuroRouting AI – a unique server-side feature that increases online security and anonymity by introducing dynamic multi-hops.
In summary, the answer to whether Perfect Privacy VPN is safe to use is a simple "yes." This is, quite possibly, the richest VPN in terms of security features.
Does Perfect Privacy keep logs?
The absolute minimum – practically, "no"
According to the Privacy Policy, "no personal user data such as IP addresses are collected" when using the VPN. They reinforce this in the FAQ section, which claims that none of the servers keep any logs whatsoever that could identify you.
The no-logs policy and the privacy-friendly company jurisdiction (Switzerland) make PP a great choice.
The only information they collect is your login credentials, payment information, and configuration settings. Realizing that some users may find this concerning, Perfect Privacy advises users to visit their website using a VPN.
You won't even find the Android app on the Google Play Store due to privacy concerns. This provider simply won't put up with the aggressive data gathering and surveillance policies of Google. You can download the Android app only from the official Perfect Privacy VPN site.
Speed and performance
Now, this is a grey area. Download and upload speeds can vary quite wildly due to factors such as the time of the day, the server load, your distance from the server, your hardware, and your baseline speed.
Speed tests
On our test laptop, we saw a 285.50 Mbps download and a 300.14 Mbps upload baseline speed with 3ms latency.
When we ran the speed tests using the regular (OpenVPN) setup, the speeds were quite overwhelming, so, in the interest of thoroughness, we also ran some tests with the Stealth VPN feature on. In some cases, download speeds increased substantially.
In general, all three options (Stunnel, SSH, and Obfsproxy3) proved to offer faster download speeds than with StealthVPN turned off. The SSH and the Obfsproxy3 stealth options also offered much better upload speeds.
London, UK with Stunnel, SSH, and Obfsproxy3
- Download: 59 Mbps (21% of baseline)
- Upload: 9 Mbps (3% of baseline)
- Download: 66 Mbps (23% of baseline)
- Upload: 49 Mbps (16% of baseline)
- Download: 49 Mbps (17% of baseline)
- Upload: 144 Mbps (48% of baseline)
We experienced similar tendencies in most of our tests for American and European servers. Of course, VPN speeds depend on many different factors, not least of which is your base connection speed, the distance from the VPN server, and others.
Server coverage
Perfect Privacy has 50+ servers in 26 countries, mostly in Europe and the US, but also a few locations in Asia (Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong), Australia, and one in Egypt. All in all, a decent, but not very impressive server list.
Ease of use and multiplatform support
In general, we can say that it's fairly easy to use Perfect Privacy VPN. However, the client interface needs a face-lift ASAP. It's as if the design had come straight from the previous century.
Perfect Privacy has apps for:
- Windows
- macOS
- Android
However, the website has manuals on how to set up the service on:
- iOS
- Linux
- BlackBerry
- Amazon Fire TV Stick
- pfSense
- eBlocker
- RaspberryPi
- Routers: Vilfo, AsusWRT-Merlin, DD-WRT, Tomato by Shibby, and DrayTek
We had a look at the Windows client. After launching your client, you will see the following notification:
This pop-up comes up if your Windows Firewall is disabled or not available.
Then, the login screen appears as the default tab of the Settings window.
Enter your credentials and click the Login button to start your Perfect Privacy VPN session. On this screen, you can also choose between the two main VPN protocols: IPsec or OpenVPN. But it's possible to change this setting any time after login.
Once you press Close to hide the Settings window, the Perfect Privacy VPN Manager appears.
At the top, you will find some basic data, such as whether you're connected, your current IP address, and the domain name of your server. The two letters, F and D, stand for Firewall (kill switch) and DNS leak protection.
Then comes the server list. There are five columns: Country, Server, Ping, Available Bandwidth, and Action (Connect/Disconnect and Show).
If you want to connect or disconnect, click the Plug icon (Connect/Disconnect) next to the location.
There are four buttons at the bottom of the VPN Manager:
- Ping Servers: to display the latency for all servers on the list so that you can order your list accordingly;
- Settings: to present the Settings window;
- Quit: to disconnect the VPN and exit the program;
- Minimize: to hide the VPN from view.
While this is a relatively easy-to-use app, we do have some issues with it.
It is rather annoying that you have to terminate your current connection to connect to a different server. During our tests for this Perfect Privacy VPN review, we also experienced some unwanted freezing. Having left the connection on, after a while we couldn't disconnect from the server or turn the VPN software off anymore.
Another annoying bug is that toggling the Stealth VPN feature sometimes causes the client to quit.
If we turn a blind eye to the old-fashioned design and the occasional freezes, this VPN client is pretty impressive. It comes with lots of features and customization opportunities.
Apart from the basic Perfect Privacy Settings, there are five other tabs on the Settings window:
- Program Settings
- Firewall and DNS
- IP and Ports
- Cascading and Stealth
- Other
In this sense, this VPN is better for experienced users. For example, there are three ways you can set up your kill switch/firewall and DNS leak protection. Fortunately, there are descriptions to assist novice users.
Not all possible settings are available through the client. But don't panic because the Member area of the official website has a dashboard just for that. This is where you can configure the TrackStop Filter, NeuroRouting, Using a random exit IP address, and Port forwarding.
In summary, this may not be the most trendy app on the market, but you can play around with a great variety of security settings and more. In fact, this is one of the best-equipped VPN apps we have reviewed.
Unblocking Netflix and other streaming platforms
You can't consistently use Perfect Privacy VPN for Netflix US anymore. We tried all of the servers and failed.
However, it is possible to watch Netflix UK consistently. You need to connect to the London2 server after you turn on the Stealth VPN feature and select either Stunnel or Obfsproxy3. Disclaimer: the stealth protocol shouldn't influence your ability to bypass Netflix IP blocks, but we can't argue with reality.
In the end, this was the only Netflix library we managed to access without a hitch.
We also found that BBC iPlayer doesn't work no matter how stealthily we tried to access the videos.
On a more positive note, Perfect Privacy will let you stream your favorite NBC and Comedy Central shows.
If Netflix is your main reason for wanting a VPN, check out our Best VPNs for Netflix list.
P2P and torrenting
If you want to have decent privacy and security, we definitely recommend Perfect Privacy VPN for torrenting but with one caveat. P2P file-sharing is not supported on the US and French servers.
Nevertheless, you can use most of the other Perfect Privacy locations for torrenting. The bare-metal servers, along with the great privacy features, should give you all the protection. In addition, the service offers port forwarding (important for seeding) and a SOCKS5 proxy.
This is what the provider has to say:
Some reviews also go as far as calling Perfect Privacy VPN the best VPN for torrenting. While it's a very solid choice, the best VPN for torrenting it is not.
Online censorship in China and elsewhere
Yes, you can use Perfect Privacy in China. It's is equipped with all the necessary features (StealthVPN, NeuroRouting, and multi-hops) to make sure that the Great Firewall with all its vicious tools (such as Deep Packet Inspection) can't get to you.
These amazing features don't only come in handy in China. There are more countries where VPN use is restricted, the censorship-heavy, and the punishments – severe. Perfect Privacy VPN seems like a good choice if you want to practice your right to online anonymity.
For your information, there is only one server in Hong Kong. However, users in Asia also have the choice of servers in Singapore and Japan.
Customer support
Long story short, there's no live chat support available. While this is usually a painful drawback, Perfect Privacy seems to make up for it through its effective, fast, and helpful email support. A lot can go wrong when using a VPN service. This is why you need to make sure that your chosen VPN service has decent support, preferably including a live chat option.
This provider offers the following platforms for customer support:
- The forum
- An email address
- Support tickets
- TeamViewer
In general, the Perfect Privacy support team seems responsive and up to the task.
Perfect Privacy is one of the most expensive tools on the market. The pricing plans are:
- 1-month for an unlimited number of devices: $12.99/month
- 1-year for an unlimited number of devices: $119.99 ($9.99/month)
- 2-year for an unlimited number of devices: $214.95 ($8.95/month)
Of course, the high level of online security and privacy that comes with this VPN justifies the prices. Yet, there are similar VPN services (like NordVPN, for example) with more affordable pricing plans.
If you do end up deciding on Perfect Privacy, you'll appreciate the diversity of payment options. There are more than 60 payment options available via Paymentwall. This also means anonymous alternatives like cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.
Perfect Privacy comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee, but make sure you read the refund policy carefully. If you use a gift card, coupon, crypto (Bitcoin) or cash to buy your subscription, it is not possible to get a refund.
Bottom line
At the end of our Perfect Privacy VPN review, we conclude that this service is undoubtedly one of the best for security and privacy. We would go so far as to say this is one of the most-ethical VPNs on the market today. With that said, those who want a service to access streaming platforms should look elsewhere.

Hong Kong's under-secretary for the environment Christine Loh has said that she aims to make the whole of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) a low-emissions shipping zone.
The PRD area includes the ports of Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzen; it accounts for 12% of everything that is shipped (measured by tonnage) and 60m people live there.
Loh told the International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH) conference in Hamburg: "You [in North America and Europe] are the ones with the Emission Control Areas (ECAs) and the Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs). We want that too. Our longer-term aim, hopefully in a few years, is to make the whole PRD area an ECA."
In January 2015, low-emission zones came into effect off the coasts of North America and Northern Europe which limited sulphur emissions to 0.1%. Most shipping companies adjusted to these new rules by burning cleaner but more expensive fuel.
Currently, outside of these zones, ships can burn fuel with a sulphur content of up to 3.5%. The International Maritime Organisation plans to reduce this to 0.5% by either 2020 or 2025, depending on the outcome of a review in 2018.
Speaking exclusively to CM, Loh said that her mission has a good chance of success as the Chinese government has been increasingly focused on improving the nation's air quality. She qualified this by saying that it may take some years to happen.
Loh also said that the environmental protection agencies of Hong Kong and Shanghai have been exchanging information on how to monitor and reduce emissions.
On July 1 2015, Hong Kong will require all ships calling at its port to switch to low-sulphur fuel while at berth.
Loh said that shipping lines had asked the government to regulate on this to ensure a level playing field between competitors.
She added that the lines had asked her to speak to her counterparts in Guangdong province, to try and get ports like Guangzhou and Shenzen regulated in the same way.
At the conference, a vote was taken and 92% of delegates agreed that more environmental regulation is needed.

I am distinctly annoyed that I will have to wait until APRIL NEXT YEAR to get any more new Outlander episodes.
APRIL. That's 6 months away!
I hate these split seasons. I hated it when they did it for Dr Who, and I hate it for this. Why can't they just do a full season run?
Also, because the last of the episodes won't finish airing until June-ish, I won't be able to get the soundtrack until then either. GRRRRR.
I have spent this week trying to put together a Spotify playlist that is somewhat Outlander-music-like. With mixed success. I wanted to just do a Pandora station, but it seems the Music Genome Project hasn't gotten as far as Scottish/Irish traditional instrumental music – it's only covered the folk & pop aspects (i.e. everything with words. I want INSTRUMENTAL music goddammit!).
However, I did have a bit of fun taking a break from study and watching the episodes while reading Bear McCreary's analysis and descriptions of aspects of the soundtrack. It's always interesting to see what the composer is thinking of when they put the music behind the show. That's the music nerd in me coming out 🙂
Now, I should really get back to studying for my exams.

Visitors to the Bukit Brown Cemetery will soon be greeted once more by its iconic cast-iron gates.
Removed from their Lorong Halwa posts last year to make way for a major road, the structure now lies in a workshop but will go up in a new access road near its original location, likely next month.
At the workshop in the north of Singapore, workers have been gingerly brushing away the layers of rust that have accumulated in the grooves of the cast-iron gates.
Supported by wooden frames, the brittle gates are undergoing a six-month refurbishment by a team from Fusion Clad Precision - a contractor hired by the National Heritage Board (NHB).
The refurbishment, which started in January, has five core steps. Rust is first removed before coatings are applied to reduce future corrosion.
Skilful hands are important as the parts are in varying states of disrepair. Its original state was very fragile. It is like handling a baby.
FUSION CLAD PRECISION MANAGING DIRECTOR TEO KHIAM GEE, on the painstaking care that goes into the work needed to refurbish the gates.
The gates' lock and latch components as well as lampholders are then repaired before missing parts are replaced. The last step is to reinforce the gates' structural integrity.
The team, comprising four master craftsmen and three other members, is at step two of the process.
Its managing director Teo Khiam Gee said the gates need a lot of attention as well as "the human touch".
"Skilful hands are important as the parts are in varying states of disrepair. Its original state was very fragile. It is like handling a baby," he said.
The structure is made up of parts, such as a pair of cast-iron gates through which cars used to pass, two side gates for pedestrians, and four free-standing square columns.
It was likely prefabricated in Britain and shipped to Singapore. Its square columns were cast on the spot.
Bukit Brown Cemetery opened its doors in 1922.
About 20 per cent of the structure will be replaced to address the damage to its structural integrity and functionality.
NHB told The Straits Times that the gates will likely be relocated next month to the mouth of a new access road near its original location.
NHB's assistant chief executive of policy and community, Mr Alvin Tan, said retaining and refurbishing the gates are important as they "provide a sense of arrival to the cemetery and preserve a sense of continuity for visitors and interest groups".
The refurbishment is an initiative of a multi-agency work group chaired by the Ministry of National Development. It includes NHB, the Land Transport Authority (LTA), and civic organisations All Things Bukit Brown and the Singapore Heritage Society (SHS).
The effort is guided by conservation best practices shared by SHS. The heritage board also has its own in-house metals specialist, Mr Ian Tan, manager of the heritage research and assessment division.
When ready, the gates will be painted black - a common colour for outdoor use.
Mr Tan said its original colour is hard to determine. Exposed layers of paint show that it had changed colours - which included a shade of blue - a few times over its history.
Mr Tan said the structure is one of the rare large-scale ornamental iron gates in Singapore. "It shows how technology flowed across countries. It is also likely that its ornamental parts were done here in Singapore. Each coil and twist are different and clearly done by hand," he said.
Some parts of Bukit Brown have been razed as the LTA constructs a major eight-lane road through the cemetery to connect the MacRitchie Viaduct to the Adam Flyover. This project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
NHB launched its documentary on the relocation of the gates on its heritage portal Roots.sg yesterday.

While the relationship between musicians and music journalists is often antagonistic, in some instances the genuine fandom and passion of writers does help to win wider approval and larger audiences for bands. Recent proof that some musicians recognise that fact, rather than merely viewing journos with suspicion as frequently self-interested leeches, comes in the form of the JustGiving campaign set up by Orange Goblin frontman Ben Ward in support of the members of staff - more than 70 in total - who instantly lost their jobs without any compensation as a result of Team Rock going into administration on Tuesday.
Team Rock titles included Metal Hammer and Classic Rock, bought from Future Publishing in 2013. If the former goes the way of the dodo, then it'll be another significant nail in the coffin of the old-school music press - no bad thing, you might argue, but it was an occasional read for me back in the day so I'd be sorry to see it go.
Joint administrator Tom MacLennan did his best to sound positive, claiming that the situation "presents an excellent opportunity to acquire high-profile rock music titles, products and brands that have a substantial global following", but I have rather less faith that the titles will survive.

It's not obvious to me why Republicans are opposed to making the owners of so-called green vehicles pay their fair share of the cost of keeping up Oregon roads. Owners of all-electric and hybrid cars now pay little or nothing toward the highway fund, even while all other motorists buying fuel in Oregon pay 30 cents a gallon. That can't go on forever, especially if the number of high-mileage vehicles grows.
So, House Bill 2013 would have ODOT develop a system of charging a road tax on vehicles that get more than 55 miles to the gallon. The fee would start with vehicles in the 2015 model year. This has been debated since the legislature formed the Road User Task Force in 2001. Conservatives generally were suspicious of any system that allowed the state to track where vehicles went, but that was never the idea.
The idea was to find an automated and simple system for reporting how many miles vehicles are driven so they could be charged a fee per mile. Nissan and other car makers already install such systems, so it's no big deal. And yet, when the House Transportation Committee on March 27 endorsed the bill, all six Democrats on the panel voted for it, and all four Republicans voted no. I'm trying to find out why paying for roads was a partisan issue, at least on that bill. (hh)
Ted Salmons, via Facebook: I absolutely support a system that enforces the "you use it, you help pay for it" fairness system. Also if anybody supports this theory, then I can't understand how they could not support bicyclists paying fees to help pay for a road system also. At least for hybrids and totally electric cars, all drivers use the same portion of the roads. Only bicyclists get a portion of the same roads that are set aside just for their use. Where's the fairness of that?
My response: It's a question of practicality and diminishing returns.There is no feasible way to assess or collect a bike tax proportionate to the extent to which a bike is used on public roads. Further, pedestrians also use roads. If there's a fee for bicycles, would a fee for walking be next? (hh)

Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R) on Tuesday cast the tie-breaking vote to help the state Senate pass a bill that would disallow several different forms of identification that are currently accepted at polling places, The News & Advance of Lynchburg, Va. reported.
The legislation passed along party lines in the state Senate. Coupled with a bill that easily passed the House of Delegates on Tuesday, the new measure would eliminate a number of forms of ID that Commonwealth voters can currently present at the polls.
From the News & Advance:
The Senate legislation, and a companion measure — House Bill 1337, sponsored by Del. Mark L. Cole, R-Spotsylvania, which cleared the House of Delegates today on a 63-36 vote — would eliminate the use of a utility bill, pay stub, bank statement, government check and Social Security card as acceptable identification that can be presented at the polls. Voters would still be able to use a voter identification card, concealed handgun permit, driver's license and student ID card.
If passed and signed by Gov. Bob McDonnell, it would be the second significant change to voter identification requirements in two years.
Last year, legislation passed by the GOP-controlled legislature and signed into law by McDonnell expanded the number of acceptable forms of ID, but required voters without approved identification to cast provisional ballots until they verify their identity. The McDonnell administration spent roughly $2 million to educate voters on last year's change.
Opponents of the legislation say last year's law and this year's proposed ID restrictions would adversely impact the ability of voting-eligible minorities, the elderly, students and poor people to cast ballots.

Files in the Dataset have been checked for format consistency, and merged into a single, integrated, downloadable file.Download Entire Dataset Submit Data For This Cruise How to Cite Dataset
New PDF and text docs online.
CTD and bottle file have been converted to exchange format and put online. Bottle woce checks indicate pressure inversion problem, sumfile clean of errors. BTLNBR column in bottle file was reversed, problem was corrected. NetCDF files were created accordingly.
eThere were not enough Q1 flags for the number of parameters with ***'s. After looking at the data it was obvious that the CTDSAL and CTDOXY were the parameters that should not have the ****'s Deleted the ***'s for CTDSAL and CTDOXY. There were 5 parameters with ***'s, but there were only 3 Q1 flags. After looking at the data it became obvious that the CTDSAL and CTDOXY should not have ***'s. Removed the ***'s from CTDSAL and CTDOXY
Replaced ctd .zip file with file received from Lynne Talley. She reformatted all ctd files to remove blank line that was at the end of each file. No changes to data or flags.
Just a note for the files - the deep CTD data from stations A7-A13 on p02w has a lot of problems. Most of the profiles have large sections with both temperature and salinity flagged "6". When I compute potential density (sigma 0, sigma 4 and neutral density), it appears that the chunks of data surrounding these flagged portions are also suspect, leading to marked deep density inversions (over many tens of dbars). I don't have a way to do rigorous quality control or reprocessing of these data. I also don't have an easy way to determine what additional parts of each station's data should be flagged. This is just a heads up to anyone planning to use these data that they appear to have quite major problems. And if there is a data quality control queue, it might pay off to have a data set like this near the top, since it clearly has problems. For the printed atlas, we will just do judicious hand editing of the inverted contours in density.
I have unencrypted the bottle and ctd files for this cruise as they were released to the public by Yoritaka on 2001.03.09. Index page has been updated to reflect this change.
I would like to consent to open Bottle_S/O2 and CTD data on P2E and P2W to the public as PI. Then, would you please change some information on the summarized table of WHP one time cruises on web as follows; P02W; CS: Iwanaga, Mizuno -> Iwanaga/(HD)MSA SHIP: SYOYO -> SHOYO
With regard to the hydrographic data collected by Japanese groups, I found that the present status of availability of the data for P02E and P02W appeared as 'NP' in the listings of WHPO web site. I believe they should be ready to be made public. Have you had any contact to or from Mr Yoritaka, the present contact person for both lines? I will be pleased to ask him to confirm that the data are to be public, if necessary.
Steve - I took Yoritaka's p02wsu.txt file and got it into the right column format. some of the information in it has changed slightly from the previous version. Most importantly, lat and long are now in degrees and minutes. I have place p02wsu.txt in my ftp area on whpo.ucsd.edu
I've replaced all of the p02.sum files (p02w, p02e, p02c) and updated the table to reflect this. In the case of p02c and p02e the sum file changes (via Lynne)were correcting the occurrances of the old line number designation with the new line number designation, and (by me)replacing the slashes in the expocode to underscores. (See Lynne's emails below) In the case of p02w the .sum file changes made (by Lynne) were converting decimal degrees into degrees and minutes in the lats and lons; the time was converted to GMT; station no. now has place holding zeros; cast type was changed from CTD to ROS; and height above bottom, wire out, and no. of bottles columns were also added. This conversion has shifted columns, however I ran sumchk on it with no errors. Slashes in the expocode were also replaced by underscores. I have also replaced the corrupted P2E119.WCT file with Lynne's updated version, and updated the table to reflect this. The table was also corrected to reflect the *bottle* data file being encrypted, NOT the .sum file (previously the table indicated the .sum file was Non-public and the bottle file was public).
First, there are only 3 flags for each measurement, but there are 5 potential parameters that could be flagged. We *think* that the flags are for CTDSAL, SALNTY and OYXGEN. Could you confirm this please? Second, are these data to be made public? Right now they are encrypted on our website. Please let us know. Finally, I have no documentation for this cruise. Do you have any that could be transmitted electronically?
I have changed 3 of the P02 lines. The new one is P02W (492SSY9411_1) SHOYO, which now has a bottle data file with Salts/O2 only. This file is encrypted/non-public. It is also the 4th occupation of PR27, and that table now has a link directly to the datafiles in the onetime section. The line that *was* P02CE, is now P02E. The line that *was* P02W is now P02C. All tables and files have been updated (along with all maps) to relfect these changes.
