Our November issue traditionally highlights women in dairy. Which dairywomen do you look up to? What qualities do you admire?
I look up to all dairy women. A lot of them work right alongside their husbands, and they also have to take care of the home and kids and sometimes even have a job in town, too. Then there are some dairy women who do all that AND travel to the shows for their family to…Continue

It's been a while since I've updated the Proud to Dairy network about my efforts with Holstein Foundation's Young Dairy Leaders Institute. Since I (finally!) completed my project this month and helped a fellow classmate with his, I figured now would be a good time to check in.

A transition has occurred at the Fitzgerald household.
We've gone from being involved in three sports and harvest to being involved in one sport and finishing harvest.
I celebrated the transition by coming down with bronchitis and spending a beautiful Southern Idaho autumn week inside the house, pretty sure I was never going to breathe again. Nonetheless, we had evenings at home together this week. We spent a Saturday at home. I can't even remember the last time that…Continue

Every person growing up on a dairy farm has memories of calves. Even through I didn't grow up on a dairy farm, my parents did get steer calves every summer. We got to feed them. Learning how to mix milk, when to offer starter, and keeping them healthy have only benefited me today. I'll ever forget the first time I let a calf suck on my fingers. That wet warm tickly feeling still makes me giggle today.
Back in September I asked my boys if they wanted to enter the Kids and…Continue

"OK, before we start, I just want you to know that I never had a cheese curd before coming here [to World Dairy Expo]," he said. "Now that I've had one, I still don't understand what all the fuss is about."
I was taken aback someone would utter those words in the presence of many Wisconsinites, but I guess when you're 6 foot 4 and 260 pounds of pure muscle, you…

The reason I love capturing weddings is because of the love and emotion shared that day. Couples are radiant, families are filled with joy and, of course, everyone looks good! You are your best and truest self. The day goes by too fast and you can miss so much. That's why I recommend everyone have a wedding album. It tells the full story of your day, from getting ready to cutting the cake.
I design the album in a way that, looking through it, you immediately feel like you are there. Experiencing all the moments again. It's a piece you will have forever, to share with your children, grandchildren and so on.
Please go through and take your time viewing how we tell the stories of our wonderful couples.
And, if you are on mobile, turn your phone sideways for better viewing angles and larger images.

Finally preparing forward is fairly important - any move requires lots of time, but when it entails elderly, it might take lengthier than initially anticipated. This is why it is important to consider lots of time prior to the real transfer, so the more mature people can fully adjust to the idea of the move and that they have time to arrange every thing they require to do from their component.Don't be frightened to ask for help when you move. Throwing a pizza party in return for help packing and loading is 1 common way to get buddies and family members to help you. You can usually ask for that your new neighbors come help you unpack in return for a nice dinner. 1 of the final choices can be to employ a unique shifting Truck rental mn loading company. Whilst this does cost money, it will still end up becoming less expensive than employing a full service business.Before you decide to rent a truck or van, organize needed paperwork and add-ons to steer clear of confusion and waste of time. These are insurance papers, notebook, paper, pencil, credit score playing cards, financial loans, and other individual legal paperwork.2- Today the hello-tech technology makes it simpler than ever to rent a truck. You can reserve the truck through online or over the telephone. A list of Truck rental mn businesses are being related with the lookup engines like Google, Yahoo. This reservation has become very much consumer friendly now a working day. Encounter to face speaking with the business who is going to rent you the truck is efficient. This will help to keep off any misinterpretations.Keep a list of the number of containers, and any unique items you might have. This will come in useful when you are either contacting movers, or attempting to rent a truck. You will get a more accurate quote if you know what you are dealing with.Most of all, discover a location that provides the services you deserve. Friendly and helpful staff is a must! You know you will be working with this business much more than as soon as, so appear for the correct services. Don't be afraid to inquire for a tour of the facility to get a better concept of issues. Discover a place that has an on-site supervisor just situation you need a hand with something.Truck rental mn is expensive. Once you get previous initial bids, which are often artificially reduced, hidden expenses for containers, tape, packing materials, and of course, labor, quickly add up. Before you spend a dime, get at minimum 3 quotes, and ideally five, from different companies and truly compare the fine print. If you're just leasing a van, compare the per-mile charges, often what appears to be a flat price is not. If you're employing professionals, carefully think about how many hours it will take to move the things in your house. It is not unheard of for businesses to attempt to get a bid by providing a low estimate that is based on an unrealistic quantity of hours.Sell/Donate Your Extras - Moving working day is a perfect time to place your wardrobe on a diet plan, amongst the rest of your belongings. Whether or not it's previous clothes you never put on anymore, toys your children by no means play with, or other stuff that you will never use again, it's time to trim the body fat. Have a garage sale, donate your excess items to charity, or throw any worthless things in the garbage. This way, you won't losing time moving stuff to your new house that you want to get rid of anyway.So, what's a man to do, correct? Do we stay just out of reach? Do we risk discovering a wonderful woman only to have her toss us about like a chew toy only to discard us when her fun is all done? Probably not. In most instances, women need to simplicity into getting someone that they are truly crazy about. Some women will arrive barreling out of the gate, scare you senseless with speak about relationship and living together, only to decide that they are bored with you inside fifteen minutes of returning the moving truck.A long length or cross nation transfer is usually a headache but now-a-days, we have many options accessible with us like transport, hiring a shifting business, employing a trailer or truck etc. From all the choices, you need to select based upon your budget, distance, time and preparedness. A few simple things that can be carried out in order to have you really feel relaxed prior to your transfer.You can also determine if you will do component of the job such as the packing and unpacking. The business alternatively will only have the task of shifting your stuffs to the new house and other destination. No doubt this will help you to save a great deal of cash. On the other hand it also needs you to do extra function. Keep in mind that these businesses have extremely skilled employees that can serve wonderful occupation in packing and unpacking belongings.A stake body is an outsized type of pickup truck with a specialized back. These backs are bigger than your regular pickup truck and are usually a great couple of ft taller. This enables them to hold more materials which means more things hauled per journey. Stake bodies are ideal for larger haling work for trash, previous furnishings and things of that character. These are extremely typical rental trucks, as most individuals don't personal their personal.

Essential Guidelines In Picking That Amazing Bounce House
It is hard to go to a child's party and fail to come across bounce houses which have gained popularity because kids seem not to be getting enough of them. If one is dealing with stubborn kids who have to be kept busy, getting them bounce houses is an excellent way of ensuring they stay entertained and occupied throughout the period. People come across a lot of options, and you have to decide what works through reading reviews and checking other considerations that matter because one cannot afford to make mistakes.
Search For A Firm That Is Known
There are a lot of companies out in the market with different names like bouncehouseplace but, they all offer same services, and you must know what people are talking about the firm. Purchasing your bounce house could be a better deal than renting, but it had to be something one has planned for in a long time to get the right final details in place.
Ask What The Bounce Houses Are Designed To Be Used
The bounce houses for commercial and residential use are not the same which is something one gas to ask during the acquiring process. Bouncehouseplace Florida offer the best services to their clients because these individuals come to where you are at and believe they are the best and if one wants their services, book on time.
Know What Material Bounce House Is Made From Always
Know what seems to work pretty well for kids, for instance, woven bounce house has been twisted to be higher quality and offers more comfort to people.
Know The Number Of Guests On The List To Pick The Right Size
See how it will give kids a chance to plan and create incredible memories which are easy to capture. Get as company that is willing to give you measurements and come up with an estimate of how many people that can fit in a birthday bounce house.
Find The Right Outlets
Understand the type of outlets needed on a birthday bounce house so that you can confirm if they are all present when the castle is delivered. Ensure there is an air pump that continuously keeps the air flowing as that ensures there will be low chances of the bounce house tearing.
Confirm That There Is A Warranty
Know how long one wants the kids to use and get the warranty after making the purchase.
It is convenient to have your birthday bounce house rather than hiring, and the kids will love to have more parties knowing they can get bounce houses any moment.

Unable to enter password when booting into recovery mode
I am using the 2017 version.
I hold down ALT to boot with the Acronis recovery media, and select to recover with acronis. After selecting the correct .tib file, it requires a password. I try to type this password, and no characters show up. I have the new Macbook Pro 2016 with the OLED touchbar. I've also tried entering text into the "search" field when selecting the .tib file, but characters do not show up when I try to type in this field either.
Please help!
Thank you.
Just an update, I contacted Acronis Support about this issue and they got back to me (on a Saturday!). They requested I submit some diagnostics and a video of the issue, I've done so. I suspect it's an issue with the new Macbook Pro 2016 which I'm sure they haven't had much time, if any, to test their software on. I guess this might be a good excuse for one of their engineers to pick up the new macbook :) Hopefully they can reproduce the issue and fix it. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions, I'm listening.
I've tried a bunch of crazy things, like attempting to put Acronis on the MacOS Installer media (which allows my keyboard to work). But launching it has proved... difficult. I did get it launched by doing a chroot into the Acronis folder, but then it thinks I'm on a trial version.
Does anyone else have the new MBP 2016? Can you verify this issue?
I don't, but what about plugging in a standard USB keyboard and mouse instead of using the touchbar. It might just be a driver issue not picking up the touchbar correctly - just a wild guess, but not out of the realm of possibility. This is a commong "fix" for Windows touchscreen devices that have newer hardware than the current release of Acronis (such as each iteration of the Surface Pro's).

I've tried plugging in a gaming keyboard, I'll try with a regular dumb keyboard I guess. I'll let you know.
Thanks for the suggestion, just tried with the dumbest of the dumb keyboards I own, didn't work though :( (The keyboard does work prior to booting the Acronis Media, and works in the macOS installer media, as expected).
Bummer - definitely reach out to tech support to see what they can offer - it may need to be addressed in an update for driver compatibility. You probably already tried, but did you try unplugging and plugging in the keyboard after Acronis had launched as well? Not likely to help, but worth a try I guess.

Use a Writing Group For Support As You Write
Writing is a lonely business, as anyone who has completed an novel length manuscript knows. But you don't have to wing it without some help, as Fiona McCann explains in this article from the Irish Times, The Group Think Method For Getting A Novel Finished.
Oh, The Treasures You'll Find In A Storage Locker!
Nobel prize winning author Pearl Buck finished a novel just before she died of cancer in 1973. An then, it vanished...for 40 years. Not her publisher nor her family knew it existed. Then The Eternal Wonder was discovered in a Fort Worth, Texas storage unit that was put up for auction when the renter failed to make payments. Pearl Buck's son, Edgar was quoted in the Star Telegram as saying, "I'm grateful that the woman in Texas was careful and literate enough to realize what she had stumbled on".
The manuscript has been returned to the family. Untangling the mystery of how it got there, and who took it after Ms. Buck died, may never be learned. But the novel is now available on Kindle. It will eventually be published in book form, assuming there's any justice in the world. Librarians everywhere, meanwhile, will be updating their bibliographies for Pearl Buck.

Hey Guys! Returning to Solana Beach after a most amazing Peak Performance Boot Camp Intensive! Yeah!
I love working with people to help get them in the right state/physiology, become aware of the unconscious underlying stories that would take them out of the game and to strategize on their next steps for success.
I'm also so very happy I found green juice and an egg sandwich (scrapping the bagel) at the little market before getting on this train. My grievance— chemical carbs and sugar shitstorms are everywhere. Who eats that crap, seriously. Lol
Anyway i don't know why I talk to myself on fb while you guys are all probably sleeping right now. I think it's because I just want to put my energy out there and share with you what's alive for me.
My summer wellness program is still available for signups. I can't wait to work with you on getting in the best shape of your life physically, mentally and spiritually. Let's conquer something amazing together!!!

Records smashed at glorious Goodwood in Chichester Priory 10K
The Chichester Priory 10K at Goodwood motor racing circuit on Sunday (3 February) was a high octane affair as seven men broke 30 minutes in a photo finish in pit lane. With Steph Twell joining men's winner William Mycroft in setting 2019's third best UK time, Chichester Priory 10K made an early bid to be the fastest race in Britain with two new course records.
The Rotary Club of Chichester has been promoting this event for 28 years and highlights of the undulating course include the start at the motor circuit entrance in Claypit Lane; the Rolls Royce factory; historic Roman road Stane Street and the unique final 4k lap of the race track to finish on Pits Straight.
There certainly was some rubber laid down in the closing stages as William Mycroft (Enfield & Haringey, 29:32 PB) claimed the winner's trophy by a second from Paul Navesey (Crawley, 29:33 PB). Also inside Richard Allen's 29:45 course record were Andy Coley-Maud (Clapham Chasers, 29:37), Calum Johnson (Bodyworks XTC, 29:38 PB), Peter Le Grice (Bristol & West, 29:39 PB) and Tom Evans (Lewes, 29:44 PB). The UK rankings for the year were rewritten, with Mycroft up to third.
The race included the official trial for an England Masters team to face an international Celtic selection in the Simplyhealth Great Birmingham 10K in May, so there was plenty of interest in the age-group results. Outstanding winners included M40 Neil Boniface (Crawley, 31:14), M50 Tony Wright (Cornwall, 32:48), M60 Paul Mingay (Tiptree, 35:45) and M70 Ron McCullough (Ipswich Jaffa, 41:53).
Steph Twell (Aldershot, 33:17) is world class from 1500m to marathon and smoothly moved to third on the UK rankings behind Eilish McColgan and Jenny Nesbitt with this victory. Twell also replaced Katrina Wooton (33:23) as course record holder. Club-mate Lauren Hall (34:01 PB) was runner-up and Leah Harris (Worthing, 34:55) third on her 10K debut.
Caroline Hoyte (W45 Arena 80, 35:47) was first master in sixth overall and other winners included W50 Elspeth Turner (Horsham, 37:58), W55 Liz Killip (Stragglers, 40:49) and W60 Helen Dean (Chichester, 44:21).
There were 415 athletes inside 45mins as the arctic weather eased in time to provide a beautiful winter morning in Sussex. A total of 1,469 finished in 1:33:58 to underline the popularity of this early season 10K blast.

I gave this hazard a medium rating because if a child got cut with glass eventually the cut would heal rather than having a permanent injury from their cuts. Used needles A used needle could have diseases like HIVE on them and they could get infected. This is more dangerous to children because they're more curious and they re unaware of the risk of used needles. 3 5 15 (Medium) gave used needles this medium rating because if a child gets pricked with it, they may develop a deadly disease like HIVE which affects them for the rest of their lives or could even shorten it Broken swing
They can get fractures and bang their head. This can be more of a risk to children because they would be too busy enjoying themselves and not realizing the swing is broken. 5 25 (High) I gave a broken swing this high rating because if a child bangs their head this could damage their brain and make them paralyses. Breaking things like their necks could also lead to disabilities and in extreme cases, death. Used condom They could put it in their mouth and get herpes from it. This is more dangerous to children because they're naive and could mistake t for a balloon. I gave used condom this medium rating because if a child does get herpes, it can be treated but the virus will also be with them throughout their life Dog faces They could put this in their mouth or in their eyes and could be temporary blind. This is more dangerous for children because they're more vulnerable and they have a higher curiosity at this age. 5 gave dog faces this high rating because if it gets in their eyes, it could cause temporary or permanent blindness and if it is digested, things like parasites old invade their body and this is highly dangerous for a child and could even kill them.

After officially making its debut in the US and then Japan last year, the all-new Toyota Camry will soon be making its way to the Southeast Asian region, based on a teaser by Toyota Motor Thailand.
On October 29, Toyota Thailand will be launching the 2019 Camry, which could presumably be the same model which we will soon be getting in the Philippines. From the looks of it though, it will look very similar to the model offered in the US and Japan which adapts the brand's new 'Keen Look' design.
From the teaser image seen on Toyota Thailand's website, it appears that the Asian-spec Camry will not be with the sport version, which is equipped with a more aggressive bumper. Instead, we will likely be getting the standard Camry which features a wide air intake running the length of the bumper coupled with slim headlights and a bolder grill.
Together with its sleeker look, the all-new Camry looks lower compared to the previous model thanks to its sloping coupe roofline. At the rear, there are slim wraparound taillights along with downward sweeping lines on the bumper to further compliment the Camry's overall design. It then rides on Toyota's new modular platform called TNGA-K.
No details have yet been released regarding the Thailand-spec Camry's powertrain. The U.S. version Camry is available with a new 3.5-liter V6, a 2.5-liter inline-four and a hybrid 2.5-liter Dyanmic Force engine with VVT-iE. The non-hybrid models are paired to a new 8-speed direct shift automatic transmission while the hybrid engine uses a continuous variable transmission (CVT). Our friends over at Headlight Magazine mention that a 2.0-liter D4-S engine with a 6-speed could also be offered.
With Thailand soon launching the all-new Camry, it won't be too long before Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) launches the Camry. At the moment, there is no word as to when that is or what engine options will be offered to the Philppine market.

Early instar White Grub damage is becoming increasingly evident in lawns across Canada and the USA this time of the year. White Grubs are the larvae life stage of several destructive turfgrass insects including the European Chafer, May/June Beetle, and the Japanese Beetle. During the larvae life stage the white grubs aggrssively feed on the roots of the turfgrass plant causing major damage to lawns. The Adult beetles (European Chafer, May/June Beetle, and Japanese Beetle) laid their eggs early in the summer and these eggs have hatched, thus the early instar activity of these white grubs.
White Grub Life Cycle
Major damage can also become evident in lawns from animals, birds and rodents that are searching and digging for these white grubs as food. Often times, the damage created from this digging is much more severe than the grub feeding damage itself.

It stars Viggo Mortensen as a pillar of a small town community who runs a diner and lives a happy and quiet life with his wife (Maria Bello) and two children. But their lives are forever changed when Mortensen thwarts an attempted robbery and is lauded as a hero by the media, attracting the attention of some mobsters (William Hurt and Ed Harris).

Fashionable web design has become increasingly interested in professionals working on the creation of unusual projects for leading companies, famous brands, and brands. Outdated visualization techniques recede into the past, giving way to new topical ideas. It is following web design trends that make websites popular. Our Nashville digital marketing agency will show you today what trends in web design have become the top in 2019.
The design within the framework of two colors and their halftones looks stylish and, in general, very worthy. Modern technology has already gained popularity among leading web designers. Such an innovative technology is often introduced when website redesign is needed in a short time, leaving the whole concept and structure of the site unchanged. Such a minor addition will help to update the site literally beyond recognition.
The concept of simplicity allows you to not distract the user from the main thing – the study of basic information. Laconic design solutions are used for background and additional elements. White background continues to look appropriate in most projects. Monochrome (when the background and the main object are identical in color, differing with the help of a shadow) is also quite an effective technique.
The absence of unnecessary elements allows the user to quickly perform actions, immediately proceed to an immediate action, not to be distracted by the excess decor. A simple design may look more advantageous than a lot of heavyweight layouts.
The refusal of fanciful elements is dictated by the behavior of web users, who may regard the jumble of decorative techniques, as a hoax or a way to hide the pitfalls.
In modern website design, three-dimensional typography, Gift-pictures, animation are widely used. Updating of reality, familiar things with the help of 3D-elements is a modern trend, which is popular in advanced WordPress development companies:
- 3D typography makes the webspace come alive, attracts visitors, makes the design stand out from the rest. Similar parts are used in logos;
- cinematography (when not everything comes to life in the picture, but only a separate element). An example of a flourishing reception can be a photograph of a dish posted on the site of a cafe, a restaurant, from which steam rises up. It creates the effect of freshly prepared food, which stimulates the appetite and the desire to try it immediately. Cinemagraphic reception allows you to create the effect of viewing the video while maintaining high platform performance because this trend will not significantly affect the download speed.
Animated scripts are present in the webspace everywhere, they force the users of the platform to perform an action – click (like, go to the page, purchase a service or product). Therefore, 3D components increase conversion and help personalize the look and feel of the website.
Moving bubbles, atoms, waves can make the resource interesting without much time. It is important not to overdo it so that they do not distract attention, but complement the general idea of presenting the idea "simply and with taste".
Hand-drawn illustrations give the site a special charm, style, and atmosphere. There is no place for proportions and clarity. The design can meet rough lines, inaccurate touches, sloppy inscriptions, brush strokes. Such an approach is usually used by a digital marketing agency for small businesses.
A special way of demonstrating a product in brutal style, where square, rectangular shapes are mainly used to express rigidity, is worthy of attention. The lack of smooth lines is another feature of the style. The absence of an abundance of small elements also serves as a hallmark of brutalism. All blocks in this style are usually created in large sizes, using a restrained color palette (white, black, brown, grey), classic bold fonts, and catchy large headings.
The transition between pages is an integral part of the behavior of the interested user. Web designers strive to make those seconds comfortable for the user. In order to interest the visitor, they actively get rid of boring and outdated loading screens, introducing unusual options. Such inventions make the platform highly popular. We highly recommend considering this option during your website development.
Useful interactive elements can make a web resource in demand. 3D fitting rooms in online stores of clothing, shoes, and accessories – a way to look at things in detail from all sides. This new multifunctional solves many problems:
- attracts the attention of buyers;
- increases profits (users are more likely to acquire the thing that they were able to carefully consider);
- makes the site exclusive, improving its appearance.
3D experiments are time-consuming, but they are worth it.
Video on the online resource – a fashionable way to present information. Statistics proved that users believe: it is better to see once than to hear many times. The video block should be short, information-capacious, shot in such a way that when it is repeated, the border of the end and the beginning of the video is maximally hidden.
Parallax is an undoubted trend in Nashville website design. A smooth transition from one part of the image to another looks fascinating due to an unexpected change of the picture. It may be an acceptable solution for web resources in different directions. This option is most useful when choosing a good thematic photograph.
The presented trends are implemented in various ways, they rarely overlap, since each of them is a self-contained idea for developing a standing project. In some cases, mixing and creative processing of two or three of the described trends help to create a truly memorable design.
The choice of combinations depends on the idea and direction of the web resource, as well as the talent and vision of the web designer. The expected style of the final product should also be taken into account for obtaining an impressive result (if you intend to create a specific design to promote certain products or Nashville SEO services for example).
Our web design agency in Nashville can implement any of the presented web design trends in your project.

Home » Black History » Cleopatra: Last Pharaoh
Cleopatra: Last Pharaoh
Cleopatra : Lessons from the last Egyptian Pharaoh
Cleopatra's romance with legendary Roman Generals Julius Ceasar and later on Mark Anthony propelled her onto the world stage, and without doubt contributed significantly to her legend.
However, despite these much publicised forays and intrigues with Rome on the world stage, we are left to imagine what Cleopatra represented to her own countrymen.
How did she relate to her Native Egyptian people? She was after all, an Egyptian Queen before becoming Ceasar's companion.
This aspect of what I can best describe as Cleopatra's domestic policy is what I found most interesting about Cleopatra's legacy.
Cleopatra: Queen Of Egypt
In 956 AD, the Scholar Al Masudi described Cleopatra in the following terms : 'She was a sage, a Philosopher who elevated the ranks of Scholars and enjoyed their company. She wrote books on Medicine, charms and cosmetics in addition to many other books ascribed to her known by those that practice medicine".
One of the hallmarks of Cleoptara's reign is a domestic policy that was sensitive to the needs of the poorest Egyptians and the State institutions such as the Temples.
For instance, in times of drought when the Nile did not flood and Egypt did not experience a good harvest, she reduced the grain Tax burden on Egyptian Peasants to make sure they had enough food. She also strove to maintain the Nile River irrigation system and infrastructure to ensure that the production of grain and food could always be kept optimal.
I was really impressed by Cleopatra's domestic policy because it became clear to me that despite her antics on the world stage, her primary concern was Egypt and its people.
It is this "Oneness" with the people that appears lacking in Africa and its leaders today.
Our leaders in Africa today seem to excel at separating themselves from those they claim to represent and from whom their mandate to govern springs.
Corruption and poverty has become the lot of most African nations primarily because our leaders have separated themselves from us.
This is why they can build themselves lavish mansions, go on expensive holidays, spend massive amounts of money in useless consumer goods like expensive watches, shoes, clothes, cars etc while the majority of the population continues to wallow in abject poverty.
They simply do not regard our suffering as a reflection of their own suffering.
This basic but significant transformation in the collective Psyche of the African Body Politic is needed more than ever in order for Africa to lift itself from poverty to face the challenges presented by Globalisation and the New World Order agenda.
This is not to say that our leaders have been completely lacking and devoid of this spirit of Unity.
In recent times, we have seen slivers and glimpses in leaders such as Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela and others. In more ancient times, leaders like Shaka and Samouri Toure exemplified this ideal.
As a result, they were able to mobilise the population and create States with enduring legacies.
However, the spirit of separation has come to dominate our African leaders with Dictators like Mobutu, Abacha, Mugabe, Idi Amin amongst others running amok.
Beyond the extremes demonstrated by outright Dictatorships, most African States are in-fact Kleptocracies where the ruling Parties and their cronies essentially utilise the State as a means of enriching themselves whilst maintaining the illusion of democratic rule by holding period elections.
I personally find Kleptocracies more sinister than Dictatorships because of the Democratic mask they wear in order to conceal their real character as Organised Crime structures.
All in all, it is important for our leaders to feel as though our future is entwined with theirs if their policies are to ever truly reflect the needs of the people they claim to govern.
The importance of Unity with the People, is ultimately what I took away from my journey into Cleopatra and her world.
Therefore, in remembering Cleopatra, Egypt's last Pharaoh, let us remember her as the Uniting African woman and leader she really was.

For a word that has "stay" in it, a staycation can make you feel like a human pinball. Each stop is more points, more feeling like a person who does real things. So come with me on an all-indoors staycation, a little fun romp despite the weather. It's never too cold to drink coffee and watch movies.
9 a.m.
Valentine Coffee
Valentine's Tasting Room on Vliet Street (read: coffee shop) is quietly the best in town, and I'm willing to fight you over it. I'd be there at a realistic hour for a cheap but excellent pour-over that tastes (naturally) a little like blueberries or lemon or orange. Owners Robb and Joe roast in a way that brings out remarkable sweetness. Post-caffeine, some walking around Vliet Street may be required since Vliet is the new… Brady Street? There's also a cool glassblowing studio nearby that will give you a workshop in making your own glass thing.
10 a.m.
Riverwest Film and Video
And swiftly we go to the bosom of Riverwest, to visit that rarest of creatures, an independent movie rental shop. They even made a documentary about Riverwest Film and Video, screened at the 2018 Milwaukee Film Festival. I once had a teacher who was afraid to set foot inside because it seemed "too cool" for him, sadly. Don't let the same happen to you, especially when rentals are $1/day. You can also buy film supplies and admire the hand-made signage. (You have basically stepped into a condensed form of someone's love for film.)
11 a.m.
Voyageur Book Shop
Boswell on Downer? Maybe next time. The newer, smaller, weirder Voyageur Book Shop on KK still has that new bookstore smell (which is the same as the old one). Voyageur has collectible books, including some from Wisconsin, and a very nice basement. It's the first new bookstore in the city (from the ground up) in a long time, and there's at least one store cat. Not to mention customers. Voyageur can get crowded on the weekends.
12 p.m.
We continue to pinball, this time to Mitchell Street, for an Indian/Pakistani restaurant that is light on decor but heavy on flavor. At this tiny paradise of spicy meat, I'll order a lot since I'm not really spending money, just talking about spending money: flatbread, nihari, and biryani. In all seriousness, Anmol also has a good selection of dishes under $10.
1 p.m.
Next we zip all the way out to Menomonee Falls. The Garcade's collection of 100 mostly retro arcade machines follows the model of East Coast great Funspot in being a museum you can play. There are vintage pinball machines as well, but I inevitably end up on the golf and bowling machines for reasons I can't fully explain. Everything here (with rare deactivated exceptions) just works, which isn't the case with every local retro arcade.
4 p.m.
Landmark Lanes
More pinball! Or foosball or beer. The pinball apparatus is a little beat up. One machine can glitch out and give you a free ball. This is "Milwaukee's Entertainment Destination," after all. Half of the reason for this stop is to converge on the Oriental Theatre.
6 p.m.
Oriental Theatre
We're here. Since the big O reopened under the wings of Milwaukee Film, there's no reason not to swing by. The projectors are way better, and there's a proper women's bathroom on the first floor.
After visiting the bathrooms, one must wrestle with the eternal Oriental conundrum: See the movie in the big theater, because it's fancy, or another film (that you're more excited about) in one of the smaller theaters. With better projectors, this is less of a pickle, so pick whatever.
8 p.m.
Pita Palace
A late dinner with sporadic talk about the movie. This Mediterranean and Middle Eastern place on Layton is open 10-10, seven days a week, and is very good. The best way to conclude a pretend vacation is with some real food, a little of the ol' "mixed grill." I'm in no way anti-gyro, but this is of higher quality and is almost as cheap/quick after a long day of staycationing.

Appaloosa's debut CD has been shipped and the trio is having their first CD release party at Faith Hope & Charity Vineyards and Event Center in Terrebonne. Their debut CD release party will be on March 20 at the Faith Hope and Charity Vineyards and Event Center.
In the spring of 2011 and after they both retired from their careers, Eli Ashley said, "I think we're going to play music now."
And his wife, Dottie, replied skeptically, "We are?" A couple of months later he came home with their pickup loaded with used gear: electric amps, guitars and microphones.
She figured he was serious. They started practicing, took guitar lessons (they played in high school…it's been a long time) and she took drum lessons from Dale Largent because, in the beginning, they leaned toward being a rock and roll band.
Soon, however, Eli figured out that they wanted to be a trio and needed a bass player and found Steve Jensen playing out one night. The rest is music history.
Appaloosa finds their sound based in the Americana and folk music all around. Dottie and Eli write and perform their original tunes and the band plays covers from the country/blues/folk music of the '60s and '70s. This is an enthusiastic, entertaining band with great music, lots of stories and toe-tapping fun. They're named after Eli's horse Dakota, the spotted mascot for the band.
Appaloosa played two gigs in 2013: MOTH/Sisters Folk Festival and the Sound Garden with special guest guitarists Joe Dean and Mark Coombe.
2014 was filled with music: MOTH/Sisters Folk Festival, The Patio/North Soles Footwear, Bend Farmers Market, the West side Pharmacy Grand Opening, First Fridays and a bunch of private parties. Their November trip for their Nashville gig (at the Omni) was tied for the highlight of the year with the CD they recorded at Largent Recording Studios in December/January.
2015 showcased Appaloosa at the Tower Theatre (First Friday) and KPOV's Center Stage program in January and they were invited to perform in a super fun wedding at the Hollinshed Barn in February. Their debut CD release party will be on March 20 at the Faith Hope and Charity Vineyards and Event Center. Upcoming performances are listed on their Appaloosa FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/appaloosa.trio.music
Appaloosa is so excited to be performing in such a spectacular venue. $5 cover, CDs ($10) for sale and great food and superb wine available in a beautiful setting.
March 20, 6pm. Enjoy dinner and wine pairings and some super fun music from your new favorite band: Appaloosa!

"Solve et Coagula" is familiar to some as an ancient maxim of the Alchemists, the "Puffers" of old. In its simplest form it means to Dissolve and Coagulate, to break a substance down to its basic elements before reforming it into something new. This could be analogous to the destruction of one's ego before the realization of the true self, or the distillation of a substance down to the prima materia, the matter from which all of reality is formed, the Philosopher's Stone, that magical element that some say can transmute lead into gold, grant immortality, heal all diseases, grant unsurpassed knowledge, and on and on.
You may have become familiar with the term after seeing Eliphas Levi's interpretation of Baphomet. The image has "Solve" inscribed on one raised arm and "Coagula" inscribed on the other, downward pointing arm.
Fulcanelli, the Master Alchemist had this to say about the phrase in his book "Le Mystere des Cathedrals": "Solve et Coagula teaches how to achieve the elementary conversion by violatilizing the fixed and fixing the volatile. If you know how to dissolve the fixed, and to make the dissolved fly, then to fix the flying in powder, you have something to console yourself with."
Fixed and volatile elements were often symbolized by dragons or serpents of the air with wings (Volatile) and wingless earthly dragons (Fixed).
In the heavens above, the planets (which seemed to move about freely) were volatile entities, while the stars (which all appeared to move in unison) were considered fixed entities. This connection to celestial alchemy led me to wonder if there was more to Solve et Coagula…maybe it also had a connection to the stars above.
I stared at the phrase for quite sometime and took note of the 14 letters and wondered if they could stand for something else entirely. I thought of the constellations of the zodiac and and began connecting the signs to each letter. To my surprise, a vast majority of the signs could be directly assigned to the letters. I was left with a few that did not match up, but without going too far to make a connection, I think I found substitutions that make sense and are justified.
I do not know if these relationships are intentional, but I am saying that the likelihood of that many letters matching up to that many signs is very slight and seems to me to be more than mere coincidence.
Here are my findings:
S – Saggitarius
O – Oannes / Pisces (Oannes was the Mesopotamian Fish-God the constellation Pisces was previously known for)
L – Leo
V – Virgo
E – Eagle/Scorpio (Scorpio has three known aspects – Scorpion, Serpent and Eagle)
E – Ea / Enki / Capricorn (The Goat-Fish of Capricorn was the Mesopotamian God Ea or Enki)
T – Taurus
C – Cancer
O – Ophiuchus (The Serpent-Bearer, the 13th Zodiac sign.)
A – Aquarius
G – Gemini
U – Uranus (Uranus, the sky God, stands at the center of the Zodiac, the point in the center.)
L – Libra
A – Aries
I've included Uranus, who seemed like a natural choice as the God of the heavens who placed the stars and stands in the center of the wheel of the zodiac.
Uranus and Gaia
I hope you found this useful and perhaps it will lead to other discoveries. Thanks for reading.

As Anna fasts, village expresses solidarity
Anti-graft crusader sits on daylong dharna in Delhi, people in Ralegansiddhi stage rally, observe fast in support of 74-year-old Gandhian's Jan Lokpal stir
Anti-graft crusader sits on daylong dharna in Delhi, people in Ralegansiddhi stage rally, observe fast in support of 74-year-old Gandhian's Jan Lokpal stir
As Anna Hazare sat on a daylong fast demanding an effective Lokpal Bill at Jantar Mantar yesterday, the domino effect of the Delhi dharna could be seen in across the country, particularly in the corruption crusader's village, Ralegansiddhi, and the city.
Standing By Anna's side: People in Ralegansiddhi take out a rally to
express solidarity with Anna Hazare's daylong fast at Jantar Mantar in
Delhi yesterday. Pic/Ganesh Bhosale
This time Hazare is accompanied by his PA Suresh Pathare only. So most of his close aides, who stayed back in the villages, made sure that the echo of the Jantar Mantar protest could be heard loud and clear in every nook and corner of the village.
If the villagers organised a prabhat pheri in the morning, they observed a hunger strike during the day to express solidarity with the 74-year-old Gandhian.
Health woes
Sarpanch Jaisingh Mahpari, one of the close aides of Anna, said, "We are worried about Anna's health as he has been suffering from lumbar spondylosis. It is only for his strong will power and determination that he has made it to Delhi."
Another aide Sanjay Pathade, a schoolteacher, said, "Over a thousand students at Ralegansiddhi have participated in the rally. Almost every wall in the village dons a poster keeping people abreast about Hazare's Janlokpal Bill demands."
In Pune, B B Somani, the conveyor of India Against Corruption, city branch, also organised an agitation at Bal Gandharva Chowk. More than 600 people, including RTI activists Jugal Rathi, R R Phondage, Aniket Deshmukh and Krishna Yadav, participated.
Anna Hazare Udyan
As the stage was being set for Annalila, version III, in Delhi, Shiv Sena youth leader Aditya Thackeray yesterday inaugurated a garden named Anna Hazare Udyan at Wadgaon Sheri in the city, apparently to keep the Gandhian in good humour. The idea was floated by local corporators so that people get inspiration from Hazare's campaign and learn to fight for a social cause.
Former IPS officer criticises Anna
Former IPS officer Suresh Khopade criticised Anna's agitation. "There are already enough efficient laws in the Constitution. Appointing a Lokayukta will create another babu. There will be more corruption as they get more powers. Hazare should stick to his original movement of developing ideal villages in rural India," said Khopade.

Background Hideninja
PureVPN has been providing VPN services since 2007 It's not surprising that it now maintains a long list of features: 2,000+ self-managed servers around 180+ locations, a wide selection of protocols, torrent support, DNS and IPv6 leak security, a wise kill switch, five devices enabled and payment via Bitcoin should you require it. Hideninja
Unusual Extras comprise'split tunneling' (you decide which traffic goes via the VPN, and uses your ISP) and the ability to create an instant Wi-Fi VPN hotspot in your laptop, and connect more devices through that.
The Company provides dedicated programs for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux, extensions for Chrome and Firefox, and more tutorials and downloads to assist you set this up on routers, Kodi, Android TV, Amazon's Fire TV Stick and much more.
Click here to sign up for PureVPN.
PureVPN PureVPN subscription choices:
- 12 month plan – $5.75 per month ($69 total cost)
The Monthly strategy is average value at $11 (#8.40), however, the annual plan is only a monthly $2.99 (#2.30), a really good thing.
This Drops into a monthly $1.32 (#1) should you cover 5 decades upfront, a total of 79 (#61). We wouldn't normally recommend signing up for that long, but the price is so low, you might think that it's rewarding. Private Internet Access delivers a decent two-year program for $2.91 (#2.24) per month, for instance, but that's still $70 (#54) in total, less. If you use PureVPN for a couple of decades, you are getting value.
The Company spoils this good impression a little. Each plan has a'last sold' index which tells you if someone final signed up, and it is just a few minutes ago.
This is Presumably intended to explain to you how popular the service is, but we're not sure that the figures are genuine. We refreshed the page several times, and seen in various browsers, and also the'past sold' figures varied widely. They behave as though they're chosen randomly, instead of corresponding to any real world events.
PureVPN does not advertise a trial. We dug deep and found a webpage for something called a'3-day trial account', but that's a little misleading. It's really only a commercial program in which you pay a non refundable $2.50 (#2) for 3 days of support.
A guarantee is for the Industrial plans, which is more generous than many. PureVPN's refund policy used to incorporate some sneaky circumstances where you would not get your money back if you'd connected over a hundred times, or used over 3GB of data transfer, but we were happy to observe these have been dropped. It's now advertised as a'no questions asked, secure, stress-free' money-back guarantee, so if you are unhappy, simply send an email and request a refund. Hideninja
Handing Over your money to PureVPN is unusually simple, since the company supports just about every payment format there is: credit card, PayPal, Bitcoin and many different cryptocurrencies (through CoinPayments), AliPay, various gift cards, and over 150 other payment procedures via the Paymentwall platform.
After Parting with your money, download links point you to apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, the browser extensions and much more. We grabbed the Windows customer, also there came a welcome email with login information, as it had been downloading.
Installation Was simple, and following a quick launch, the Windows customer prompted us to pick one of five modes: Stream, Internet Freedom, Security/Privacy, File Sharing and Dedicated IP. We suspect most folks will wonder if to select Internet Freedom or Security/Privacy, and there is no advice to describe the difference.
The Support website told us that selecting a manner could optimize PureVPN's preferences . As an example, security would be prioritized by choosing Security/Privacy above all else, but the Streaming and File Sharing manners would optimize for speed.
VPN Novices might appreciate this approach since it means that they do not have to know and tweak the preferences. Since there's no clear indication of what each mode does, but specialists are less inclined to approve. There's nothing wrong with task-based mode selection, but we would prefer a clear display of those settings that are unsuitable for each mode, so experienced users may comprehend the effects of their choice.
After You're in a position to select at locations from a dashboard. This has lots of functionality, enabling you to navigate locations by cities or countries, search by name, see ping times, or make favorites for speedy recall later.
Alternatively, Deciding upon a Purpose option displays a list of tasks you might want to carry out — unblocking Netflix or other streaming sites, utilizing VoIP, obtaining social networking sites or anything — and also you can in theory select among them, and allow PureVPN to choose a server for you.
Connect To the client and a host displays your connection status. There is also an optional bandwidth graph showing your data transfers for the past few seconds. You almost certainly won't want it, but it's excellent to see PureVPN making the attempt.
The Customer makes smart of usage of notifications to be certain you know what's happening. Choose a place and as long as the Windows client is the foreground program, it will not waste your time. But if you switch to another program, the client notices, and a pop-up window seems to allow you to know when it disconnects and connects.
A bonus Gravity feature blocks access to known sites. We'd always like to purchase this type of attribute from a professional security company, however, Gravity is far smarter than most of the VPN-related competition. In addition to blocking dangerous links, it can turn on Safe Search for the main search engines, block entire categories of site, whitelist sites you always want to get into, and blacklist websites you don't. Oh, and ads can be blocked by it , too. Hideninja
The Settings Box is a highlight, particularly for users, as it is absolutely stuffed with interesting and unusual extras.
The Customer doesn't just have options to start on auto-connect and system start, as an example. It can automatically open your default browser once you're protected.
Want a Different protocol? PureVPN allows you to choose from OpenVPN TCP/UDP, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IKEV. There's also an Automatic alternative which the customer suggests offers the best speed and security, but from what we can see, that is not true: it just cycles through another protocols until it finds one that works.
Split Tunneling permits you to send just specified apps' traffic by your VPN. That requires more time to install, and you need to be quite certain which programs you need to redirect, but it may additionally optimize performance by limiting your data transfer needs.
The VPN Hotspot is an unusual additional, configuring a hotspot which turns the server computer to a limited VPN router. When it is enabled, you'll have the ability to use your telephone, tablet computer or other devices to get online via the host's PureVPN connection.
And the List continues, using IPv6 leak protection, a remarkably configurable kill switch, and a multi-port option which chooses the best port, preventing any closed or throttled alternatives. You may opt to use a non-NAT system to get a special IP address, port forwarding is available should you need it, and a Support section doesn't only link to the website: it facilitates creating a support ticket from within the customer.
Although There's lots of power here, the interface is a mess. You will find standard buttons, radio buttons, links, icons and sidebars, they do not always work as you'd expect, and although we figured out how to navigate across the system, it never felt comfortable or natural.
Still, The client did a decent job for us, blocking DNS and WebRTC leaks, together with the kill switch successfully killing our net access if the VPN connection dropped. If you'll use a number of their customer's many features that are extra, it may appeal.
We took a Look at PureVPN's Android program, and it was much the same story since the Windows version. After picking a'Mode' (still not certain why), we were able to select cities, states, or choose a Goal (optimized for China, unblock that streaming assistance, and so on). It is more awkward to use than the VPN program, but you'll figure it out.
What's Interesting is that the Android app doesn't drop most of choices and the desktop's settings, which is what we generally see. It has a very similar feature set, such as a choice of protocol (OpenVPN TCP/UDP or IKEv2), a kill button, split tunneling, port forwarding, Gravity URL filtering, and more. Again, if you'll use all of that functionality or some, it is worth a try. Hideninja
Privacy and logging
In a Previous inspection , we pointed out that PureVPN made a huge deal of its'zero log' policy, explaining that this meant the firm did not record exactly what you did online. Nevertheless, the small print stated there was some session logging, which seemed to add the time you connect to a server, your incoming IP address as well as the total bandwidth used.
This Isn't a minor detail. Back in October 2017 reports appeared of a guy being arrested on suspicion of conducting"a comprehensive cyberstalking effort", in part based on PureVPN records demonstrating that its services were obtained from appearing IPs including the accused man's house and workplace. The'zero log' VPN retained some sort of logs, after all, and those were able to help link internet activities to a particular account.
PureVPN Type of responded in a blog to the Post, where the firm pointed out that it did not keep full logs, such as your browsing history, and it hadn't done anything to violate its privacy policy, where the session logging was mentioned.
This Doesn't address the dilemma of why the firm described itself as maintaining'zero logs' at the primary portion of the website, though, when this turned out not to be entirely correct. That is also not a trivial point. Logging policies are based almost entirely on trust, along with a VPN isn't inclined to be trusted if it is seen to mislead consumers or bury the reality of a situation from the small print.
PureVPN has at least updated its privacy Coverage, which now includes possibly the most explicit no-logging sentence we've ever seen:'We DO NOT retain any record of your surfing activities, link logs, documents of this VPN IPs assigned to you, your initial IPs, your connection time, the background of your browsing, the websites you visited, your incoming traffic, the information or information you've obtained, or the DNS queries generated by you.'
The Policy also clarifies the minimum connection data it will record –'We know the day that you connected to a particular VPN location and from that Internet Service Provider' — also covers plenty of other important issues in a clear and readable manner.
The Fantastic news, then, is that PureVPN's current Privacy policy looks great and says the ideal things. It's much better than most of the competition. But the catch is that the story that is logging will understandably lead some people to wonder whether they could trust what the company says. We can't tell you what to believe, but it's well worth checking out both PureVPN's unique site defense and also its current privacy policy before you make your mind up.

PureVPN Makes more of an attempt to support site unblocking. The company does not only make airy claims on the site then forget about these later, it features specific support for streaming within its apps, in theory allowing you to access Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer along with a plethora of other services from wherever you are in the world. Hideninja
We Double-clicked the BBC choice, and viewed as the customer joined and exhibited an'err-network-changed' message. What? This looked like a severe difficulty, however, the browser had just discovered the change in our community settings as the customer connected, and after this was complete, the BBC iPlayer website opened and streamed content as usual.
It was Much the exact same story with Netflix. The customer launched our browser before the link was complete, so we saw the same error message, but that disappeared automatically, and we were free to browse and flow whatever Netflix articles we liked.
You are Not restricted to the professional services built into PureVPN's apps, naturally. YouTube wasn't included on the list, for example, but by linking to a US server in the usual 21, we were got .
Our Performance evaluations involve running custom applications which connects to servers, checking more time, location and download rates. Regrettably, we could not get this working with PureVPN, or figure out why (whether that's our fault or theirs, we can not be sure).
But even An unusual warning from the print explains that users are not permitted to have more than 200 sessions a day When we did. That won't concern most folks, but it does become a problem when you're running intensive VPN benchmarks. Hideninja
We dropped Back on our old manual method of connecting via customers and assessing the results from several speed checking sites, including SpeedTest.net, Fast.com and TestMy.net. This doesn't give us to use, but there is still enough to get a sense for exactly what the service can deliver.
Our neighborhood UK servers varied a little more than usual, but still gave us acceptable download rates of connection that was 75Mbps.
Near Rates were mildly under average. Here they were, although netherlands relations can deliver much the same rates for us as UK servers.
US Performance ranged from around 30Mbps to 50Mbps. That is far from the fastest we've seen, but unless you are likely 24 hours of torrenting, it's most likely not likely to cause you any issues.
As usual, Speeds tailed off radically for the locations. For example, New Zealand averaged 12Mbps, Vietnam had been 10Mbps, Taiwan barely touched 1Mbps, and China ranged down to such a slow pace that the web benchmarking sites stalled mid-test. That places the magnitude of PureVPN's system into perspective (having loads of servers does not matter if they're unusably slow), but if you're only planning to utilize the significant places, it won't matter very much.
On a few Occasions, our PureVPN Windows client was not able to connect to our test server that is preferred. The problem here is that the connection didn't time out for many moments, and the Cancel button did not work, although that's not uncommon.
What You Want To Know About PureVPN
The Test of Speed — Just How Fast is PureVPN?
Let us start off by making something clear, i.e. whatever VPN support you use, the online rate will take a hit. That hit is a result. The vast majority of VPN services make every possible effort to make certain that the hit is as gentle as it could be. Unlike what many folks will have you think like utilizing dial-up it's not likely to be.
PureVPN, when compared to other similar VPN services, happens to be much faster. So, yes it does live up to the promise of being the fastest in the business. Hideninja
The way we compared and tested the operation was by utilizing Ookala's nifty speed testing website and app. We then ran the speed test on both the national and international servers. We then compared the outcomes and that is the way we found PureVPN to be faster.
PureVPN includes a national latency of a mere 6.7% percent. During our evaluations, as a matter of fact, PureVPN improved rates that by our calculations is an unbelievable 346 percent percent. We found that rival VPN providers were slower. Some we guess were throttling download speeds because they did not want to worry their servers out.
Once it comes to uploads, PureVPN didn't really boost it like it did with downloads, but it required a mere 4.5% percent hit. If anything this is still among the upload scores we've seen from a VPN supplier.
During our international speed tests, the latency increased by 200 percent. Though download rates have been still a whopping 403.8% percent better than some of the competing products I tested it against. The uploads have been 22.7% percentage slower that is second best compared to perhaps Hotspot Shield which improved the upload speed by 1.4% percent.
A Mind-Blowing Number of Servers
The map on the left allows you skip the software's default recommendation and choose a server on your own. Keep in mind that by default PureVPN chooses the server which is frequently the nearest one. When in China I discovered it kept picking up servers in Hong Kong by default that's not the simple fact but also simply nearby that Hong Kong's cyberspace is not as rigorously censored as China.
PureVPN has over 2000 servers which are spread across 140 countries and 180 locations around the globe. Servers are located in Central America, Asia, South America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. You might think that PureVPN just has servers in nations which perhaps don't censor or block sites, but you'd be wrong. Servers in Russia, Turkey, and China are there just in case you wanted them.
It Does Not Slow Down Your Online
Over the years VPN providers, generally speaking, have received bad press for notoriously slowing down internet speeds that users have never been happy with clearly. There are still many VPN services that slow down what may be internet. Fortunately, with PureVPN that's not the case even in the event that you use it to stream Netflix, YouTube, etc..
In addition to not slowing down your internet, PureVPN supplies a number of other attributes like robust servers which are located around the globe and which scored tremendously throughout our speed tests. Then there's also the simple fact that they utilize military-grade encryption, with programs for Android and iOS devices. Even though there are more reasons to think about PureVPN as we will examine in detail below. Hideninja
Excellent Set of Features and Easy to Understand
I've used dozens of VPN programs over time, also PureVPN is like a breath of fresh air. It is simple to use and in relation to the previous time I used the program its geared towards people who are new to using VPNs. The moment PureVPN loads you are prompted to choose from five choices, i.e. Security, Internet Freedom, Stream, Remote/Dedi IP (this feature offers you a dedicated IP) and File Sharing. An experience that is based on the option selected is then delivered by the program.
The other thing I enjoy about PureVPN is that every one of the features are to the stage. For instance, their Internet Freedom feature lets you choose what region you need to get Netflix from, like from the UK, Australia, etc.. In which it is otherwise blocked you could even access Netflix.
Compared to the last time I used PureVPN now around it sensed zippier. The interface has been bright, with pictures some of that could be difficult to read on a smaller screen. When you are connected to a server, you are going to observe the duration of your session, connection status, and the IP address.
The visitors graph gives you a fantastic sense of how much bandwidth has been consumed, which is useful for anybody on a metered internet connection. But it is important to mention for all those worrying about data caps which PureVPN doesn't have any. So, you're just limited to what the ISP has in store for you!
Like most other competing VPN providers, you pick the server and the country it's based in. You can search for servers and click them to connect. Apparently, some servers based on where you're found are likely to be quicker than others because of latency.
You could also select which protocols to use. Choose between OpenVPN, IKEv2, SSTP, PPTP, and L2TP. There is PureVPN's own stealth protocol that according to the provider ensures the anonymity. Since people like me have a tough time comprehending which protocols to select, PureVPN makes it easy by providing a speed and security rating for each. The key thing to notice here is that as the security boosts the rate slows down. Thus, you'll need to hit a compromise between both depending on what's needed. By default, a protocol is chosen by the program. Most people who don't work for the CIA (pun intended) will be OK using the default option. Hideninja
Hands-on and First Impressions
We've admittedly used PureVPN before, but after a hiatus or perhaps two decades we pretty much forgot how things worked. Once you've chose to register and download their applications, choose a password and you are going to need to put in your email. Interestingly and perhaps confusingly, this isn't what you will use into the software to log-in, but it's used for charging purposes.
After subscribers have paid, they receive an email with the username and password in plain text. We've used other VPNs that use the exact same system to payment identities that were distinguish from consumer identities that ensures better anonymity. Yet we think it could be perplexing to customers however its something you get used to. Additionally, in our experience the email will land on your spam folder for some reason, so be certain before calling support, to check that.
PureVPN includes a support Website with a massive number of troubleshooting manuals and tutorials. The opening page points you to categories like Getting Started, Setup Guide For Users in China and to see most of these sections, and Netflix US, for example include more information than you would expect.
The Installation Guide includes subsections for Routers Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Smart TV and Other Devices, for example, and a number of those individual sections have more information than the entire support website of lesser VPNs.
We're, Though It's an impressive amount of work Unsure how effective and reliable it might be. We checked the guide OpenVPN setup guide, for instance, and found it failed completely. OpenVPN was not installed there were no PureVPN settings files, and there was no information from the guide to help us figure this out.
If the Website can't help, you increase a support ticket from inside the client or can send an email. We took the ticket route and the service done well, with the aid team delivering us a useful and friendly answer to our test question .
Alternatively, You can use live chat . We discovered it might take a minute or two to get a response, and even as we'd obtained to our email query, then, the agent didn't provide us the level of help. PureVPN could not get near the level of chat service we'd received from top opponents like ExpressVPN, afterward, but we're still glad the choice is available. And with quick support to hand, any live chat issues you might have probably are not too significant. Hideninja
Final verdict
PureVPN Comes bundled with a heap. These do not always work as you might anticipate and there are lots of usability problems with the apps — but demanding users who'll utilize this level of VPN power must give PureVPN an appearance.
