The word "weft" may not be as strange as it looks. I suspect that it is an archaic past participle of "weave," following the pattern of "leave" and "left," and "bereave" and "bereft." At some point, I guess, it simply weft the Engwish wanguage.
"Woof" looks suspiciously similar to "wove," and isn't the double "o" spelling characteristic of Old or Middle English (e.g. Moot)for the sound "o" as in "grow"?

Let's Talk About Consent...
*Trigger Warning - this post will touch upon the topics of consent, sexual assault & rape. If you are triggered by these topics, it is probably best to click off of this post*
Okay, so to begin with I'm writing this blog post because I feel as though a lot more open dialogue needs to be had surrounding the topic of consent; recognising that I have a platform such as this I felt that I could to pro-actively start trying to facilitate the open dialogues that I wanted to start seeing happen.
This week I read a really worrying Metro article (Linked here) which highlighted the statistic that 53% of the people in which they surveyed think that it's not okay to withdraw consent after you've taken your clothes off. This statistic genuinely broke my heart to read. There is absolutely no point in which you are unable to withdraw your consent, you can decide to say no at any point (even during) and the person whom you are with has to respect that & stop; If they don't that then becomes a serious crime.
Something that I also want to touch upon is that the absence a clear "No" does not mean that there is consent, just because you have not expressly said No to sex, doesn't mean that your consent can be implied. Consent really is as simple as, if you haven't said yes, in some way, then it's no and consent doesn't exist, regardless of situation.
Nobody can force you to give consent, if you feel as though you have been forced into giving consent then Women's Aid suggest that in this type of situation, consent also doesn't exist as only you can give your consent and if you feel pressured or forced into doing so then you aren't freely consenting to it.
The most important thing about consent, I believe, is that it's yours to give and it is completely about how you feel in a situation, you can give and withdraw consent at any time, even if you have already taken your clothes off, started having sex or anything, if you decide that you no longer want it, you have absolutely every right to withdraw your consent.
A video that I have also found really useful when discussing consent is this one, created by Thames Valley Police :
As this video states, Consent is Everything.
If you have been in a situation where you didn't give your consent, then it is important to talk to someone that you trust about it and take steps to report this to the police. There are also organisations that offer support to survivors of rape & sexual assault.
If you need help & support you can find it here:
Women's Aid
The Survivors Trust
Rape Crisis England & Wales
I really hope that this blog post has been as the open dialogue, informative post, that I hoped it would be.
As always thank you for reading,
Until next time,

Blonde Venus (1932)
"I'm no good, you understand? No good at all."
Response to Peary's Review:
Redeeming Qualities and Moments:
Must See?
Posted on January 26th, 2016 by admin
Filed under: Response Reviews
One Response to "Blonde Venus (1932)"
Must-see, as an all-around 'good show', satisfying in every aspect.
I saw this again recently – and seem to love it each time I see it. In this case, I'm rather in complete agreement with Peary's assessment of the film, esp. Dietrich's performance. Personally, I don't have any problem with understanding her character or what motivates her. She falls in love with Marshall – seemingly because he is so smitten with her and initially she enjoys that. But she soon grows to love him in return. (In fact, the story of their courtship is one that their child always wants to be told as a bedtime story, and Dietrich's character never really seems to tire of repeating it. She seems to enjoy telling it when asked.)
It's also not hard to see why she eventually does what she does when her husband is diagnosed: she loves him, she needs money, she'll do what she has to do to try to make him well.
There is, of course, an element in the film that appeals to gay audiences – and that element does come out in the musical numbers. While I find those enjoyable, I don't overall see the film as camp – it's pretty much a straightforward tale of romance, with peripheral complication that is also a kind of romance.
Simply put, I find this to be a well-told tale – and with a lot of style. The characters all seem genuine to me and well-thought-out. I esp. like when Grant realizes, in his hunt to win Dietrich, that she really does love her husband…and that, even though he may have loved her a bit more than his usual paramour, he's essentially a playboy and it makes more sense to gallantly let her go amicably.

Eye-tracking makes its way to the beauty space…
Augmented reality provider ModiFace MakeUp has teamed up with Smashbox to bring eye-tracking to the cosmetics space.
The tech can track what a shopper is most interested in based on how long they stare at a particular item. The app then tailors its marketing around the product in question – so rather than bombarding the shopper with info about all the Smashbox products, it talks to the shopper about a particular shade of eyeshadow or lipstick.
Smashbox has said it's led to a 27 percent increase in overall conversions in two months. So a pretty smashing idea, then.

Merrill Anthony "Tony" McPeak (born January 9, 1936) was the 15th Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. He retired from military service on November 1, 1994.
McPeak was born in Santa Rosa, California. After graduating from Grants Pass High School in Grants Pass, Oregon, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from San Diego State College in 1957 and became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He was commissioned through AFROTC, and entered active duty in November of that year. He later earned a Master of Arts degree in international relations from the George Washington University in 1974.
After completing preflight and pilot training, McPeak flew fighter F-100 Super Sabre and F-104 Starfighter aircraft in operational squadrons in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Later he returned to the U.S. as an instructor pilot and weapons officer at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona.
From December 1966 to December 1968, McPeak was assigned as a solo and lead solo pilot with the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's aerobatic flying team. While with the Thunderbirds he performed in nearly 200 air shows in the U.S. and overseas.
Upon completion of his tour with the Thunderbirds, he was assigned as an F-100 pilot with the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing at Phu Cat Air Base in South Vietnam. On February 1, 1969, he was assigned to Project Commando Sabre (Detachment 1, 416th Tactical Fighter Squadron), known as the Misty FACs, a specialized group of high speed forward air controllers trying to stop traffic down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. He became the tenth commander of Commando Sabre on April 22, 1969, and moved it to the 31st Tactical Fighter Wing at Tuy Hoa Air Base on May 1, when the 37th TFW transitioned to the F-4 Phantom II. Rotating out of his command on May 31, 1969 after 98 missions, he served as chief of standardization and evaluation for 31st Wing. McPeak completed a total of 269 combat missions while in Vietnam, remaining in-country until 1970, after which he attended the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia.
From 1970-73 McPeak was an air operations staff officer for the Mideast Division at Headquarters USAF in Washington. After graduating from the National War College in 1974, he was named assistant deputy commander for operations for the 1st Tactical Fighter Wing at MacDill AFB, Florida. He later (1975–76) was a military fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.
In 1976, McPeak contributed an article to Foreign Affairs Journal expressing his views on the Israelis' occupation of territories during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.[1]
In July 1976, he became commander of the 513th Combat Support Group based at RAF Station Mildenhall; a year later he moved to Zaragoza Air Base in Spain as vice commander of the 406th Tactical Fighter Training Wing. From 1978-80, he was assistant chief of staff for current operations, Allied Air Forces Central Europe (in Boerfink, West Germany). 1980-81 saw him commanding the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing, based at RAF Station Upper Heyford. McPeak was chief of staff at USAFE headquarters from 1981–82, and deputy chief of staff for plans at TAC headquarters, Langley AFB, Virginia from 1982-85. He returned to Headquarters USAF in 1985-87 as deputy chief of staff for programs and resources.
In June 1987, McPeak moved to Bergstrom AFB, Texas in the dual roles of 12th Air Force commander and commander of Air Forces for United States Southern Command. A year later he was named commander-in-chief of Pacific Air Forces PACAF. He was appointed Air Force Chief of Staff by President George H.W. Bush in October 1990, replacing the retiring General Michael Dugan.
McPeak took over as Chief of Staff during the run-up for Operation Desert Shield, and assisted in overall strategic planning for Operation Desert Storm. His tenure also saw major reduction in force as a result of the end of the Cold War; during his time as Chief of Staff, he oversaw the disbandment of Strategic Air Command, Tactical Air Command, Military Airlift Command, Air Force Systems Command, Air Force Logistics Command, and Air Force Communications Command, with assets transferred primarily to Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Force Materiel Command and the Air Force Communications Agency. Also, his tenure oversaw the merging of Air Training Command and Air University into Air Education and Training Command. McPeak pushed through major organizational change, aimed at streamlining and emphasizing operations and combat readiness. Much of his tenure focused on elevating the status of flight operations, some say at the expense of support, or non-flying career fields. He also created the Air Force Expeditionary Wing concept, a fusion of combat forces and support into a single organization. He also transferred several command billets to Brigadier Generals even though previously these had been commanded by Colonels.
However, he is best remembered by many Air Force personnel for the sweeping changes made to the service dress uniform. Worn by more personnel during most duties, the new version was a radical departure from the earlier version, which was essentially the same as the U.S. Army service uniform (the U.S. Air Force was originally the U.S. Army Air Corps). Because of its resemblance to both Naval officer's uniforms and those of airline pilots, the McPeak uniform was said[by whom?] to be unpopular with service members. These uniform changes were subsequently reversed by his successor. The basic redesign continues to be worn to this day but the sleeve ranks were eliminated and name tags reinstituted. McPeak's original concept of simplifying and toning down the various devices and gadgets pinned to the uniform has gone by the way.[2]
McPeak also acted as Secretary of the Air Force for three weeks in 1993, during an interim before the formal appointment and confirmation of Sheila E. Widnall, as of that date becoming the only person to have ever concurrently served in both capacities. McPeak continued as Chief of Staff through October 1994, retiring afterwards.
Following his Air Force career, McPeak entered the private sector as a consultant and business executive. He has been on the boards of directors for TWA, ECC International, where he served for several years as Chairman, Tektronix, U.S.I.A. of St. Helens, Oregon as advisory board chairman, and other organizations. McPeak and his wife Elynor currently reside in Lake Oswego, Oregon. She served as a member of the Lake Oswego City Council.[3]
In 1996, McPeak served as Oregon state chairman for the Bob Dole for President campaign. During the presidential election of 2000 McPeak endorsed George W. Bush and served as co-chairman of Oregon Veterans for Bush.[4]
As the military and foreign policy of the Bush administration coalesced, however, McPeak expressed strong objections, especially with regard to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[5] McPeak later openly campaigned for Howard Dean's nomination, and when Dean withdrew, acted as an adviser for the John Kerry campaign. He was also one of twenty-seven signatories to the statement of the "Committee of Diplomats & Commanders for Change" calling the Bush Administration a failure at "preserving national security" and calling for Bush not to be re-elected.
McPeak worked as a co-chair on Barack Obama's presidential campaign during the 2008 United States presidential election.[6]
McPeak was appointed in July 2010 to the American Battle Monuments Commission.[7]
In May 2012, McPeak published Hangar Flying, the first volume of The Aerial View Trilogy, three memoirs that will document his career in the Air Force.
McPeak was harshly criticized by American Spectator journalist Robert Goldberg for comments and writings he has made regarding Israel.[8]
Goldberg begins the piece saying that "McPeak has a long history of criticizing Israel for not going back to the 1967 borders as part of any peace agreement with
Goldberg writes that "[in] recent years McPeak has echoed the Mearsheimer-Walt view that American Middle East policy is being controlled by Jews at the expense of America's interests in the region."[8] Goldberg then quotes McPeak responding to a question as to what is the cause for the lack of progressing in getting Israelis and Palestinians together: "New York City. Miami. We have a large vote -- vote, here in favor of Israel. And no politician wants to run against it."[8]
Goldberg also wrote that McPeak "claims that a combination of Jews and Christian Zionists are manipulating U.S. policy in Iraq in dangerous and radical ways."[8] To support this claim, Goldberg quotes McPeak from a published interview: "Let's say that one of your abiding concerns is the security of Israel as opposed to a purely American self-interest, then it would make sense to build a dozen or so bases in Iraq. Let's say you are a born-again Christian and you think that Armageddon and the rapture are about to happen any minute and what you want to do is retrace steps you think are laid out in Revelations, then it makes sense. So there are a number of scenarios here that could lead you in this direction. This is radical...."[8]
McPeak also generated controversy following comments he made at a Barack Obama campaign appearance in Medford, Oregon where he implied that former President Bill Clinton had appeared to question Obama's patriotism:
As one who for 37 years proudly wore the uniform of our country, I'm saddened to see a president employ these tactics, he of all people should know better because he was the target of exactly the same kind of tactics.[10]
McPeak also compared the former President's comments to actions by Senator Joe McCarthy: "I grew up, I was going to college when Joe McCarthy was accusing good Americans of being traitors, so I've had enough of it."[11]
According to journalist Allan Nairn, General McPeak oversaw the delivery of advanced U.S. fighter planes to Suharto's government not long after the November, 1991 shooting of pro-independence demonstrators known as the Dili massacre.[12]
McPeak's military decorations include the:
Qualification badges include the Command Aviator Badge, the Parachutist Badge, and the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge.

DSME Keeps Shedding Non-Core Subsidiaries
South Korean builder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has decided to exit its wind power business as part of the company's self-rescue plan.
The shipbuilder has sold two of its subsidiaries, namely DeWind Frisco LLC and KODE Novus I LLC, which hold its loss-making US-based wind energy business DeWind.
According to DSME's stock exchange release, the subsidiaries were purchased by an undisclosed US private equity fund for about USD 1.5 million. DeWind, which owned the wind farms of the two companies, is expected to be liquidated in the coming months.
The transaction was the latest in DSME's efforts to get rid of non-core subsidiaries, a process the company is undertaking as part of its KRW 5 trillion restructuring scheme.
DSME acquired DeWind in 2009 for KRW 140 billion won (USD 130.6 million) to expand in the wind power business, however, the company remained in the red since the acquisition.
On January 30, the shipbuilder informed that it assumed KRW 85.7 billion of debts of the two wind farms to Korea Eximbank and Woori Bank, as it was the guarantor.
"According to the agreed debt restructuring, 20% of the debts will be repaid by installments five years later. The rest of the 80% will be converted into equity," DSME said.
The shipbuilder's restructuring plan, unveiled in March 2017, sets out three key principles – debt restructuring, financial assistance and bearing the burden of losses by all stakeholders.
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2017, DSME recorded a profit of KRW 1.53 trillion, compared to a loss of KRW 1.24 trillion posted in the same period last year.

Ever since I made my first throw pillow, the 12″ Buttoned Throw Pillow, I've been on a bit of a pillow kick. Once I made one, about a dozen ideas for different ones started flooding into my head. The thing I love about crocheted throw pillows is that you can make them whatever color you want to match your decor, and between all the crochet stitches and color schemes out there, the design possibilities are endless. They're a nice break from all the hats and scarves I've been making all winter, too!
This new throw pillow pattern is super cute, if I do say so myself. It utilizes the basketweave stitch, which looks so much more complicated than it really is. Even if you're a beginner, give it a try. You might surprise yourself, and you'll certainly impress your family and friends!
One thing I've learned in the process of making throw pillows is that they fit over the inserts the best when they're just slightly smaller in length than the insert itself. So for this 12″ pillow, I edged both sides in SC until they were about 11.75″ (that's width, not corner-to-corner). Any larger than that, and I've found that the edges get wavy and floppy and just don't lay as nicely. So for this pattern, although I SC'd around the 3 times, you should measure your piece before edging and only add as many rounds of edging as you need to get to about 11.75″. You might need more or less than I did.

Krystal Walden is the Founder/CEO of KRYSTAL SPA®, a health
and fitness spa devoted to the healing arts. Her remarkable
commerce into entrepreneurship resulted from a career
boomerang. From the age of 8, Krystal became an accomplished
100 and 200 meter runner. Her execution and excellence
in academics and athletics earned her scholarships to the University of California (UCLA), where Krystal earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology with
an emphasis in Psychology.
Krystal also competed
as a World-Class and UCLA Track Athlete trained by the best of the best, Brooks Johnson (U.S. Track & Field Olympic Team coach), Bobby Kersee (U.S. Track & Field Olympic Team coach; husband and coach of six-time U.S. Track & Field Olympic medalist, Jackie Joyner-Kersee), Jeanette Bolden (U.S. Track & Field Olympic Team coach and medalist; former UCLA Track & Field head coach), the UCLA athletic weight training staff, and the UCLA athletic diet/nutrition training staff.
While in college, Krystal Walden began her corporate career
path in the fashion industry where she soared into an
associate buyer position for Guess? Inc. and then Macy*s
West. With these rewarding experiences she learned to manage multiple $50+ million prestigious vendor accounts that included Men's Collections (Claiborne, Perry Ellis, Kenneth Cole New York and Reunion) and Men's Shoes (Nike, Adidas, Puma, Skechers, Rockport, Sperry, and Stacy Adams). Krystal gained skills in developing and managing qualitative

in the fashion industry alone; her athletic nature was
craving for attention. That epiphany motivated Krystal
towards an entrepreneurship in the health and fitness
industry. In 2002, Krystal developed the business concept
of KRYSTAL SPA® when she took notice the absence of
health and fitness awareness within most spa facilities
of today. This awareness created an opportunity for Krystal to integrate a niche of health and fitness services into high quality spa services.

at Bikram Yoga College of India, trained by the world
renowned Bikram and Rajashree Choudury. Krystal successfully
achieved her credentials as a Certified Yoga Therapist.
Krystal continues to deepen her Yoga Therapy studies
at Forrest Yoga Institute, trained by the world renowned
Anna Forrest. To balance out her
knowledge of the human body, Krystal studied Massage
Therapy at the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing
(IPSB), a school of holistic body therapy. There she
successfully achieved her credentials as a Certified
Massage Therapist.
As the years go on, Krystal's passion and enthusiasm for the creation and mechanics of the human body grows stronger and stronger. In 2008, she joined Forster Physical Therapy and was an apprentice to Robert Forster, an Olympic sports physical therapy specialist. Krystal is now joined with the Nation's #1 Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy faculty practice, the University of Southern California (USC) Physical Therapy Associates, as the Clinic Buyer, Medical Records Specialist, Head Physical Therapy Aide, and Research Assistant. Currently, Krystal is also achieving her Masters of Science in Gerontology with a speciality in Psychology from the University of Southern California (USC).

Krystal specializes in helping individuals (from beginners to athletes) get back in touch consciously with their mind, body, and soul. She strongly emphasizes on body awareness and alignment for maximum injury prevention and recovery. With the kind of strength, flexibility, balance and
compassions that Krystal possesses there is no doubt that
she will meet her goals, to enhance the global image
of how to live a stronger, healthier, and balanced lifestyle.
Krystal has had the pleasure to worked with the best of the best professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, MLB, U.S. Track & Field Olympic Team, and UCLA Men's and Women's Track & Field Team. See what olympians, doctors, scientists, and others

In today's increasingly competitive globalised marketplace, cast-iron international protection for brands has never been more important. With many in-house trademark departments consolidating their legal work among a smaller number of service providers as a result of budget cuts, those firms with the necessary resources and expertise to provide consistent, insightful advice across borders are perfectly placed to capitalise on this trend. In this section we shine a spotlight on the firms that have secured WTR 1000 listings in multiple regions; for many global brand owners, these international titans are the first port of call.
- Allen & Overy LLP
- Arochi & Lindner SC
- Baker McKenzie
- Bird & Bird
- Clyde & Co
- Cooley LLP
- Dentons
- DLA Piper
- Gowling WLG
- Herbert Smith Freehills LLP
- Herrero & Asociados
- Hogan Lovells
- Jones Day
- Marks & Clerk
- Mayer Brown LLP
- Norton Rose Fulbright
- Reed Smith LLP
- Rouse & Co International
- Simmons & Simmons LLP
- Stephenson Harwood LLP
- Taylor Wessing
Allen & Overy LLP
Allen & Overy is the only UK Magic Circle outfit to offer trademark filing services; unsurprisingly, given its legendary reputation for quality, many top brand owners – The Coca-Cola Company being a prime example – are taking this up. London-based David Stone is the person to whom they are drawn; he is an international thought leader on brands and designs. With Brexit a worry for many UK firms, Allen & Overy is sitting pretty given its broad European footprint; in the WTR 1000, it has experts recommended in the Benelux, France and Slovakia. It also has an excellent reputation for intellectual property in Asia, the credit for which belongs to David Shen; a former general counsel for a leading global pharmaceutical company, he knows exactly what support his clients need and delivers it.
Arochi & Lindner SC
With A-teams in Mexico and Spain, Arochi & Lindner can seamlessly serve the IP protection needs of clients in Latin America and Europe. The Mexican contingent is best known for its hard-hitting litigation and enforcement work, although it acquits itself with distinction on the portfolio side, too. Gonzalo Barboza leads the charge in Spain and is an astute all-rounder. His in-house experience at Red Bull sets him apart as a commercially focused and dynamic operator.
AWA has 160-plus IP practitioners – including patent and trademark attorneys and lawyers – across offices in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong and Beijing, making it not just a Nordic powerhouse but a major global player. In Asia, partner promotions and lateral hires speak to a practice in fine fettle; CEO Ai-Leen Lim has got the firm firing on all cylinders. It is important to note that AWA IP (Beijing) is a locally licensed trademark agency and consultancy, and can therefore offer the widest range of trademark registration and enforcement services possible for a foreign outfit. The team in Sweden has a new face in the WTR 1000 this year in Kristian Martinsson, who impresses with his deft handling of brand selection and portfolio management and his broad expertise in trademarks, marketing law and promotions. Always keen to spread the gospel of intellectual property, the firm recently launched a new digital hub dubbed 'AWA Point' to help keep clients and other stakeholders in the IP market informed and up to date.
Baker McKenzie
In terms of the sheer scale of its trademark practice, nobody else comes close to Baker McKenzie; the London office alone is responsible for the global coordination of over half a million trademarks. Jessica Le Gros does a fine job as head of trademarks in the UK capital. Making it all possible are expansive offshore teams in Manila and Belfast that render vital back-office support. One of the more significant developments in the firm's WTR 1000 coverage this year is its debut appearance in the US national rankings – it goes in at the silver level. Gold-ranked New Yorkers Pamela Church and Lisa Rosaya are key contacts stateside.
Bird & Bird
At Bird & Bird, multiple teams in Europe and Asia sync up to put in place ironclad trademark protection schemes for marquee global brands and advise on far-sighted strategies. Recent developments for the IP A-lister include the rollout of a new and innovative brand protection reporting portal; clients benefit from the combination of comprehensive data, provided by the top internet monitoring companies, with the accurate and commercial legal analysis that Bird & Bird practitioners are famous for. The UK branch is spearheading this while also playing a crucial role in knitting the international group together. In other news, the firm opened its first US representative office in 2018, choosing downtown San Francisco as the location; IP partner Nick Aries has relocated there from London.
Clyde & Co
Bringing on Elliot Papageorgiou in 2017 as a senior partner in Shanghai was a watershed moment for Clyde & Co's Asia IP practice; substantial growth throughout 2018 shows that the organisation chose wisely in its Greater China IP helmsman. Former Rouse man Papageorgiou is an IP devotee with a gift for optimising the protection and value of IP portfolios across the Asia-Pacific region. The United Arab Emirates is another centre of IP expertise for the firm; Dubai-based Rob Deans maintains an excellent Middle East practice encompassing all aspects of the registration, commercialisation and enforcement of trademark rights.
Cooley LLP
Among AmLaw 50 firms, Cooley has one of the largest trademark practices with some 30 lawyers spread across its US and UK offices. The team represents a kaleidoscopic range of clients (numbering nearly 1,000 companies), but is best known for its work on behalf of the world's leading technology companies; DC's Peter Willsey and Brendan Hughes, for example, act for Google in numerous trademark infringement matters. Over in London, Nick Bolter does awesome work for Twitter and Netflix.
The WTR 1000 footprint of Dentons is unique and pays testament to its truly global capability; the firm is recommended in several European jurisdictions (the United Kingdom, France, Russia and Poland), the United States (New York) and Colombia; it also has individuals recommended in the Australia and China chapters and appears in the Singapore rankings following its combination with Rodyk. Already the world's largest law firm, it has been in expansion mode recently and broadened its reach in Asia, as mentioned, and in Central America where a combination with Muñoz Global has given it a presence in Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala.
DLA Piper
With over 4,200 lawyers in over 40 countries, DLA Piper is one of the world's most muscular law firms. Intellectual property is a central plank of its full-service offering and its broader IP and technology group is extremely well resourced, with over 500 lawyers. Its UK team is one of its best when it comes to global brand management and dispute resolution; it ascends to the silver tier in the rankings this year and earns increased coverage by way of debut appearances for Richard Taylor and Leigh Martin. In the United States, a merger with LA boutique Liner in late 2017 has enhanced its capabilities in the media and entertainment space.
Gowling WLG
Gowling WLG is a standout in Canada when measured by both volume and quality – it is the most prolific filer of trademark applications in the country and has a stacked team of leading lawyers, four of whom are listed in the gold tier – Christopher Pibus, Robert MacDonald, Kelly Gill and, for the first time in 2019, Jennifer Morton. In Europe and Asia, the firm has been on the move, opening a second office in Germany (in Stuttgart) in 2017 and affiliating with JurisAsia in Singapore. The high-calibre UK team gets increased coverage in the WTR 1000 by the first-time inclusion of John Coldham, who is rapidly cultivating his reputation as one of the leading design rights experts in Europe.
Herbert Smith Freehills LLP
Herbert Smith Freehills isn't about being the biggest in trademarks; it focuses, instead, on quality and adding strategic value for blue-chip international rights holders – and routinely surpasses expectations in both regards. The team in Australia provides an all-inclusive trademark prosecution, litigation, enforcement and monetisation service and is seamlessly integrated with the teams in Europe, which focus on strategic advisory work and contentious matters; clients get everything they need to maintain a healthy and distinctive brand wherever their main contact point is based. The squad's top lawyers are Melbourne's Celia Davies, Sydney's Sue Gilchrist and London's Joel Smith. Laura Orlando in Milan has settled in nicely since she came on board from Simmons & Simmons in late 2017.
Herrero & Asociados
Herrero experienced some notable staff changes in 2018 but is still a major player in Spain and a rising name in Latin America – a region in which it has, in recent years, opened a number of offices. The firm is well placed to advise clients on all aspects of trademark protection in hispanophone jurisdictions.
Hogan Lovells
When it comes to European trademark law, Hogan Lovells is the best in the business; its teams in Spain and Germany are gold-ranked and contain superstars such as Imogen Fowler, based in Alicante, and global chair Leopold von Gerlach, who divides his time between Hamburg and Frankfurt. Major news coming out of the US camp, meanwhile, includes the March 2018 hire of Julia Matheson from Finnegan. Promotions in Asia show the firm is doing well eastwards, too. Underlying its commitment to brands, Hogan Lovells recently launched its 'Total Brand Care' series of seminars for in-house legal, IP, marketing and business professionals which cover the most important trademark, public relations and marketing topics of the day – essential events for those who want to stay up on all the latest.
Jones Day
Jones Day maintains its rankings in France and Germany thanks, respectively, to the consistently strong performances of litigator Emmanuel Baud and all-rounder Marc Groebl. The firm has a new name in the UK section this year in Rebecca Swindells, an experienced counsellor and litigator for clients in the telecoms, media and technology, retail and financial services sector. As testament to the joined-up nature of Jones Day, Swindells regularly liaises with her continental colleagues, particularly those in Munich and Dusseldorf, to deliver pan-European IP solutions. John Froemming continues to be a powerhouse in US trademark infringement litigation – he's the person to call when your key brands are on the line.
Marks & Clerk
Marks & Clerk is the United Kingdom's largest patent and trademark attorney outfit; it is also a leading provider of integrated prosecution and litigation services thanks to its unique Marks & Clerk Solicitors setup. The WTR 1000 features more in-depth coverage of the UK team and recommends Esther Gottschalk and John Ferdinand for the first time this year. With 17 offices in seven countries, the firm is also a redoubtable international force; it expanded its footprint in 2018 by merging with Sim & McBurney / Sim Ashton & McKay in Canada. The firm's Asia rankings this year are consistent with those of the previous year; it's a stable and reliable point of contact in a rapidly developing region of the world.
Mayer Brown LLP
Mayer Brown manages in the region of 50,000 global trademark files, in the course of which it has come across just about every brand-related quandary you can think of; such experience has enabled its tight-knit US and Asia IP teams to cultivate a high degree of strategic acumen which it leverages to its full potential. Capitalising on this are global brand owners such as Beam Suntory and Discover Financial Services, Diners Club and Pulse Networks, which instruct the firm on portfolio management and strategic advisory matters across the world. With John Mancini in the fold, enforcement is a strong suit, too. Mancini is a repository of trust for marquee companies such as Nestlé.
Norton Rose Fulbright
For clients looking for North American coverage coast to coast, Norton Rose Fulbright fits the bill perfectly; it has a stacked US brands team, which it has augmented across multiple offices recently, and a well-formed group in Canada. In 2018, the latter capitalised on the momentum gained from its combination with Bull Housser the previous year to grow its practice very effectively. Internationally, the firm has approximately 300 IP professionals, putting it in pole position to manage and exploit brand assets globally.
Reed Smith LLP
Reed Smith is the base of operations for several international trademark stars. In Silicon Valley, gold-rated Katherine Basile provides commercially and internationally oriented trademark advice across the board; she's a Swiss army knife of a lawyer who can clear, prosecute, commercialise and litigate trademarks with equal dexterity. In London, Michael Skrein is known for his expertise on website blocking, advertising and media issues. They form part of a well-rounded international team that spans the United States, Europe and Asia.
Rouse & Co International
Rouse has few, if any, rivals when it comes to pan-Asian IP expertise. The firm became one of the first international IP outfits to establish a presence in Asia when it opened its Hong Kong office in 1993, and it hasn't looked back since. Rouse continues to distinguish itself with its proficiency in managing and enforcing IP rights regionally, and particularly in developing countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Simmons & Simmons LLP
Simmons & Simmons is a member of the international IP elite and an excellent one-stop shop for brands not just in Europe, the Middle East and Asia – where it maintains offices – but worldwide. Its various local teams are well aligned and work in harmony, but they all deserve credit in their own right; the London crew has caught the eye with the legal tech innovation awards it has won; the Amsterdam contingent has gained many new clients, including Shimano and F5 Networks; the Paris team has hired astutely and enhanced its patent and trademark capabilities; and the IP lawyers in Hong Kong continue to do wonderful things for local companies with big international reputations, such as Cathay Pacific Airways.
Stephenson Harwood LLP
Multi-jurisdictional IP litigation is the metier of Stephenson Harwood; its London lawyers know international trademark law extremely well and ensure that the right case precedents and legislative provisions are put to use expeditiously and efficiently. Eifion Morris and Rob Jacob continue their sterling work for GlaxoSmithKline in a non-traditional trademark case concerning the colour purple applied to asthma inhalers against Sandoz, which involves passing off and unfair competition claims in some 30 countries; the foreign associates they've coordinated with on the sprawling matter are unanimous in their praise of the dynamic duo. The team in Hong Kong, fronted by Jonathan Chu, is also distinguished by its polished handling of cross-border litigations and transactions in Asia.
Taylor Wessing
'Sophisticated and commercial' describes Taylor Wessing's approach to trademark practice – the firm's strategic counsel is like gold dust. The European team can support brand owners in many meaningful ways with its fluency in prosecution and portfolio management and litigation dexterity; it practises across the contentious/non-contentious divide in a more integrated fashion than most, too, which puts it at a distinct advantage in terms of finding satisfying solutions. Flying the firm's flag high in Asia, Jonathan Kok and Rizwi Wun have been flourishing in Singapore. Like their European counterparts, they take a business-minded approach to IP tasks, enhanced by a strong focus on key sectors including consumer brands, life sciences, media and entertainment and technology.

This lab was something I worked on last week and for some reason it stuck in my head very well. I can put together a basic MPLS configuration now from memory which is definitely a step up from where I was. Here are a few details of what I put together.
- VRF 1 = Client1
- Two routers, two locations
- 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24
- VRF 2 = Client2
- Two Routers, two locations
- 172.16.1.0/24
- 172.16.2.0/24
- Two PE Routers – PE1 and PE2. They are connected with the 10.0.0.0/24 network. PE1 has a loopback of 126.96.36.199 and PE2 has 22.214.171.124. This Provider network could easily be increased in size and number of devices. Most labs will use OSPF or EIGRP for the Provider network with a BGP connection between the specific provider edge devices connecting to the client.
Here's what the topology looks like:
The first thing that I did was create the basic interface connections. I will omit that step for the sake of keeping this post to the point. Next, I created the VRF's on each PE router:
ip vrf Client1
rd 65000:1
route-target export 65000:1
route-target import 65000:1
ip vrf Client2
rd 65000:2
route-target export 65000:2
route-target import 65000:2
Basically what you first do is create a VRF with a unique name. Next you set the route distinguisher. This allows you to share only Client 1's routes with other Client 1 devices and so on. The route targets allow you to customize the setup a bit more in the sense that you choose the route distinguisher that you exports as and then customize which routes you wish to accept as well. For the sake of this lab, we'll keep it simple though. Once the VRF's are created, they need to be attached to client facing interfaces to designate the traffic that should be transferred accordingly. Just takes one command, but definitely not something to forget.
interface Ethernet0/0
ip vrf forwarding Client1
Next, I take care of the client side OSPF connections. On the client devices there is nothing special. Just standard OSPF setup. The PE routers are where things are a bit different. We are going to setup two OSPF processes. Then we will tie each process to a specific interface:
router ospf 1 vrf Client1
router-id 192.168.1.1
router ospf 2 vrf Client2
router-id 172.16.1.1
interface Ethernet0/0
ip vrf forwarding Client1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip ospf 1 area 0
interface Ethernet0/1
ip vrf forwarding Client2
ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip ospf 2 area 0
Client 1 is now communicating with PE1's VRF 1 and Client 2 on VRF 2. Once the OSPF configuration is done on the client's device, the connections should be established:
PE1#sh ip ospf neighbor
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
172.16.1.2 1 FULL/DR 00:00:38 172.16.1.2 Ethernet0/1
192.168.1.2 1 FULL/DR 00:00:33 192.168.1.2 Ethernet0/0
Now where the real fun begins: the BGP portion of the lab.
A basic BGP Configuration would look like this:
router bgp 65000
bgp router-id 184.108.40.206
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 18.104.22.168 remote-as 65000
neighbor 220.127.116.11 update-source Loopback0
That got a basic BGP connection established between the two PE routers. Next, we need to need to configure BGP for the vpnv4 address family. This establishes which devices will be a part of these client tunnels:
address-family vpnv4
neighbor 220.127.116.11 activate
neighbor 22.214.171.124 send-community extended
The neighbor is first activated and then we choose to send extended communities to make sure the route distinguishers are shared correctly. Now we need to define the VRF's that will be shared:
address-family ipv4 vrf Client1
address-family ipv4 vrf Client2
So what we have here is basic routing protocol configuration including OSPF and BGP as well as two VRF's, one for each "client". OSPF and BGP are still separate from each other. We need to begin sharing routes between the each of them. This will be accomplished with route redistribution. It will look a bit like this:
router ospf 1 vrf Client1
router-id 192.168.1.1
redistribute bgp 65000 subnets
router ospf 2 vrf Client2

Everything should be working now right? You will notice that Client-1-1 still can't see routes on Client-1-2's side. This is a MPLS lab after all, we need to configure MPLS!
***Normally I would do this first, but I saved it for the end of this lab***
Globally, the command "mpls ip" needs to be configured on each PE router. Next the interfaces facing the MPLS network (in this case the provider network) need to have that same identical command configure. Here is the config from PE1:
mpls ip
interface Ethernet0/2
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
mpls ip
Once completed on both ends, you should be alerted to the new MPLS connection:
PE1(config)#interface e0/2
PE1(config-if)#mpls ip
*Aug 7 11:56:32.209: %LDP-5-NBRCHG: LDP Neighbor 188.8.131.52:0 (2) is UP
A quick show command can show us some more details about the connection as well:
PE1#sh mpls interfaces
Interface IP Tunnel BGP Static Operational
Ethernet0/2 Yes (ldp) No No No Yes
PE1#show mpls ldp neighbor
Peer LDP Ident: 184.108.40.206:0; Local LDP Ident 126.96.36.199:0

Now since everything looks good, we can check the Client routing tables again:
Cl1-1#sh ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
a - application route
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override
Gateway of last resort is not set
192.168.1.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
L 192.168.1.2/32 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
O IA 192.168.2.0/24 [110/11] via 192.168.1.1, 00:45:16, Ethernet0/0
The client can now see the network on the other end of the topology. As seen above, the client is none to the wiser about the MPLS network. As far as they are concerned, they just see their other router's subnet. If other networks such as other vlans or loopbacks were introduced into OSPF by the client, they would be shared as well.
There are definitely more options with MPLS configuration that can be used. This is a very "lite" use of MPLS. Normally the provider would obviously have a much larger network with a wide range of labels being shared between devices. Treat this one as an intro lab and a place to jump off from.
As always, leave any questions or comments below!

Introduction Torguard Not Working With Netflix
With a proven History, TorGuard has Evolved into a high-quality VPN supplier for users. We here at The VPN Lab agree it is among the top 10 VPN providers available. The company runs servers in 50 countries and provides VPN service. Torguard Not Working With Netflix

What Is a VPN?
A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your PC And a VPN. Your internet traffic travels through that tunnel, meaning that anybody snooping around on the exact same system as you, will not find something. A VPN may also help protect your privacy that ISPs can market your data. ISPs have enormous insight in your activities–but not when you use a VPN.
A VPN is, because it can secure an insecure network An essential tool when traveling or using that shifty public Wi-Fi network at the local coffee shop. A VPN also makes it harder to spot you online by concealing your IP address, which can be used to ascertain your geographic location.
Activists and journalists frequently use VPN solutions to Get around government censors in order that they can communicate with the external world. Most VPNs hang their reputation on being able to unblock blocked websites for such clients. You can use so as to watch MLB or even BBC content, a VPN to spoof where you are. Be aware that Netflix is currently working to obstruct VPN trickery. Torguard Not Working With Netflix
To begin using TorGuard, simply download the Suitable app for your Operating procedure and follow the installation manual. You can pick between TorGuard Lite and Torguard Viscosity. The very first one is a simpler client software, ideal for first-time VPN users, whereas the latter is a better choice for tech-savvy users.
TorGuard Lite automatically connects the VPN after you have entered your Information, meaning you basically do not have to do anything to browse the net. It is also possible to manually select protocol and the server. Torguard Viscosity, on the other hand, allows for customization.
Both clients are easy to use and supply a user friendly encounter. Still, if you are not knowledgeable about how VPNs work, you should probably stick to the Lite version.
There Is a Great Reason TorGuard is among the most popular and Trusted VPN services — it. We are not talking anything crazy here, just the simple things that each VPN user needs and wants, but which other VPN service providers do not consider a given.
For example, unlimited speed and bandwidth come with all TorGuard Packages. A number of them contain unlimited mail storage. You also receive a committed, refreshing IP address only for you. There are over 3,000 VPN servers available in more than 55 countries of the world. They're all strategically distributed throughout the world so that you may be certain that you'll have one close wherever your travels might take you. The business was nice enough to place servers in Australia and New Zealand also, the area that's been so unfairly discounted by lots of VPN suppliers for a long time.
TorGuard has yet another intriguing feature that not many other providers Can boast — the stealth server feature. The"stealth" servers are ideal for regions and countries with internet control, most notably China. As a result of this feature, the residents of these areas are now able to enjoy the specific same content and access the very same websites as anybody else anywhere in the world.
TorGuard not only takes but promotes P2P sharing. However, there Are some things. You will find specific, dedicated servers which should only be utilized for P2P sharing. This is really pretty smart since you can do all your P2P sharing on committed and specifically configured and stored servers whereas the remaining servers stay free for faster browsing and streaming. There are plenty of dedicated servers so you don't have to worry about slow speeds on packed servers. In addition, TorGuard also offers a technical torrent proxy, which supports most of major torrent clients (BitTorrent, uTorrent, Deluge, Vuse, and many more) and comes with unlimited bandwidth.
TorgGuard uses OpenVPN/SSTP/L2TP/IPsec encryption protocols. You can Choose whatever you prefer, but many experts recommend using OpenVPN for maximum security. You can link up to five distinct apparatus using one TorGuard account. This should cover all of your devices, from computers . TorGuard doesn't keep any logs at all so all your relations are 100% anonymous. Torguard Not Working With Netflix
Customer support is just another section where TorGuard does really well. Their website has an extensive service area with troubleshooting, knowledge base, FAQ, tutorials, forum and a support ticket system. It is also possible to access support. TorGuard offers the live chat option . The support team is polite, helpful and friendly. The service ticket system functions very well, with answers coming in a matter of a minute or two.
Performance and Reliability
TorGuard advertises itself as the VPN support for users Want to remain absolutely anonymous and safe. In reality, their anonymous proxy support is specifically optimized for p2p filesharing and for bypassing geo-restrictions, such as watching Netflix or even Hulu in places where those services are either blocked or inaccessible. They've 3,000 servers in over 55 countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Australia is represented, as this region often gets neglected which is nice.
They boast switching, infinite bandwidth and unlimited speeds, Too As anonymous support for complete anonymity and privacy, which is impressive, to say the very least. VPN routers are also sold by the business.
Speed is one of the areas where TorGuard prevails. When analyzed, the Speeds proved to be quite fast, ranging from good to exceptional, very secure and reliable. Exceptional results were achieved through the united kingdom and Netherlands servers, which is frequently the case too. That you always connect to the nearest server, although Obviously, slower rates were attracted by connecting to more distant servers.
We were pleased to see that there were No DNS or WebRTC leaks at all. Torguard Not Working With Netflix
VPN Protocols
There's more than one way to create an encrypted tunnel Through VPN. My method employs the OpenVPN protocol, which is famous for being fast and reliable. Additionally, it is open-source, which means that you may be certain that its code was picked over for possible vulnerabilities.
TorGuard clearly believes in giving people it, and options Supports numerous VPN protocols, such as OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP, and IPSec. TorGuard also comprises Stealth VPN protocols, which use SSL VPN so as to prevent an entity from obstructing the VPN traffic. These include OpenVPN Stealth, ShadowSocks, Stunnel, and AnyConnect (also known as OpenConnect).
Other companies provide tools to stop VPN Similar to Stealth VPN, albeit with different names. Golden Frog VyprVPN and tunnelBear provide this feature, to mention two. A TorGuard representative explained that clients can double their Stealth protection by connecting via OpenVPN Stealth or even OpenConnect then use ShadowSocks or Stunnel to conquer deep packet inspection that could be employed to block VPN use. Most people probably won't make the most of this, but it's good that TorGuard makes such attempts to make sure its customers can protect their data.
You Have to trust the VPN you use Behind it could end up into your internet activities. That is why when I review VPNs, I talk with all the sellers and read the whole privacy policy. In the case of TorGuard, this part was simple. The business has the privacy policy I've seen, and among the easiest to read.
More important, the policy's material is good for consumers. This section says it all:"TorGuard.net doesn't log or store any traffic or usage from the Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Proxy." The business admits that it will gather information but remember it also enables the usage of payment procedures.
Better yet, TorGuard says that it earns earnings From subscription revenue, instead of selling information. The company's policy is not to sell or transfer the data that it has gathered to third parties. The only exception to this is if the company feels it's obliged to comply with legal actions.
That final point is something echoed by VPN companies, Which is why it's important that you know under what authority they operate and where these companies can be found. Some countries have more laws than many others, after all. The organization behind TorGuard is. That provider isalso, in turn, owned by parent company VPNetworks LTD, LLC, located on the Caribbean island of Nevis. I cannot speak to the legal framework of Nevis, but because of its part the US has no laws requiring the retention of information.
In the past, some VPN businesses used to inject ads into Users' web traffic to be able to market their customers. An agent from TorGuard confirms that the firm doesn't utilize this tactic, stating,"It is not something we'd even contemplate." Torguard Not Working With Netflix

Programs and Server Locations
When VPNs are reviewed by me, I look at the amount of servers The company has available for use. The more servers there are offered, the more likely you are to find one that isn't exceptionally crowded, giving you a bigger piece of bandwidth.
TorGuard has expanded its host supplying, and it Now boasts more than 3,000 servers. That puts it up there using Personal Online Access$2.91 at Private Internet accessibility as one of the most robust VPN services I have yet reviewed. NordVPN leads the pack in sheer size.
I look at where those servers are situated. The more Geographic options the more choice you have if you want to spoof where you are. A robust geographic distribution also suggests that you're more likely to discover a nearby server when traveling, and a nearby server ensures lower latency and better functionality.
TorGuard now offers VPN servers in over 53 countries. All these are dispersed across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. I am pleased to realize that TorGuard has servers in India, and several servers across Africa and the Middle East, as these regions tend to be ignored by other VPN services. Especially, TorGuard also has servers in China, Russia, and Turkey, that are famous for their online policies that are repressive. Hide My Ass dominates one of VPN services, however, using its roster of 286 VPN server places across some 220 nations. CyberGhost$2.75 in CyberGhosthas fewer server locations, but it will offer physical servers in underserved areas such as Africa and South America.
Some consumers fear about VPN businesses servers. All these are servers that are software-defined, meaning that a single hardware server may run many virtual servers . These virtual servers can be configured to appear to be than where they're truly found. That's a problem if you want to steer clear of specific regions, and if you're worried about where your information is headed. A TorGuard representative told me that the company does not use virtual servers, so you'll have no trouble here. Torguard Not Working With Netflix
TorGuard Testing
In my testing, I installed TorGuard's software on A Lenovo ThinkPad T460slaptop.
The TorGuard customer installed easily and quickly, though It is not a thrill to behold. The program is minimal, appearing a bit more like a app than something I would expect on a computer. There are the donkeys from Hide My Ass, or none of those bears featured in TunnelBear. It doesn't even have a map interface, which will be a staple of several VPN apps. It seems a lot more like the Internet Access that is Private.
Instead of showing a map or recommending servers for Activities, TorGuard includes a list of servers. That is fine, but it is not very friendly to new users. Neither will be the arcane options on the app's primary window. The average user is probably not going to mess with them, but networking pros will undoubtedly appreciate having these options front and center. A link in the bottom of the app opens a window filled with even more choices. This program doesn't just look like Internet Access that is Private, it seems to target exactly the type of confident power user.
While I am willing to make a Good Deal of adjustments for layout, 1 factor of TorGuard's Windows app (and, in reality, all of its other apps, too) bothers me. Every VPN support I have tested will discover that VPN server has the lowest latency or is closest. TorGuard doesn't do so. It is a small thing, but changed.
TorGuard Provides a Switch list does. TorGuard will stop any programs if the VPN connection be disrupted. It's a security measure ensuring that none of your data is transmitted through an unencrypted connection. TorGuard's Kill Switch is restricted. I discovered that you can just add programs which are already running to the list. It also employs the bizarre titles you find. NordVPN enables you to define applications that aren't currently running to increase the list, which is quite handy.
Additional VPN services include servers. NordVPN And ProtonVPN are two that offer servers specifically for streaming Netflix content. TorGuard has a few: stealth servers meant to be impossible to be blocked by firewalls.
Streaming services require a dim view of VPNs. That is That's not created for your specific geographic region, because you can use a VPN to spoof your location and access content. Even if you reside in the US but are vacationing in the united kingdom video services may block your efforts to VPN back in your house country.
I had been, while connected to a New York VPN server Not able to see any content on Netflix. Of course, that might change in an instant's notice, which is accurate for VPNs that worked with Netflix in my testing.
Notice that section 4.3 of the Netflix terms of support Mentions that it uses technologies that are specific to confirm your place, which you entitled to articles in the region in which you made your account. It does not expressly forbid the use of a VPN for obtaining articles, but don't say we did not warn you if your account gets locked.
Past VPN
TorGuard Delivers a series of services And privacy. Along with its fundamental VPN service, TorGuard also sells Anonymous Torrent Proxy for $5.95 a month; Anonymous Email for $6.95 a month; and the Privacy Bundle, which includes the Proxy and VPN support, for $11.95 a month.
If you are tempted to get the Anonymous Proxy support Rather than the VPN service since it's more affordable, know the proxy is designed to filter traffic that is BitTorrent, whereas everything you do online is protected by the VPN service. If you grabbing a torrent or are currently seeding torrents, the proxy makes sure nobody sees your real IP address. But your internet browsing and other online action is not included. It's a case of internet anonymity versus the time. Torguard Not Working With Netflix
The TorGuard iPhone apphas a striking, Slick look. It is not likely to win any design awards, but it's far, far better than the Windows or Android apps. That said, we think the app is actually so simple as to be a bit confusing to use.
When we reviewed TorGuardwe noted that it did not Include our OpenVPN protocol that is preferred. Instead, IKEv2 is used by the app. We are also happy to see that its VPN performed well on this platform, too.
We like the TorGuard Android apphas a split Tunneling feature, as well as the majority of the features you'll see in the Windows program. But, TorGuard drops the ball in style. We find the program believe it will be conducive to new users, and to be confusing. In our testing, it generated an warning on setup that didn't inspire optimism. While the center TorGuard support is a good one, it is simply outshone by better-designed Android VPN programs.
Sadly, the macOS TorGuard app does not have the Modicum of panache which found its way to the program. It is not bad; it is just fine. It's a window to receive your VPN started.
TorGuard didn't impress me at the time using its speed test Scores on macOS. I look forward to taking another crack in the app in the not too distant future. Nevertheless, I am very happy to see that it includes OpenVPN. It is one of the macOS VPNs.
The Difference Torguard Makes
TorGuard has a great deal going for it: a Cost, an assortment of subscription and also also a geographically diverse collection of servers. Particularly notable is how it aced our speed tests, and also its focus on BitTorrent use –two factors that are associated. TorGuard also has an excellent privacy policy, one that's short, sweet, and consumer-friendly. The exact same can't be stated for its program expertise, which continues to sacrifice simplicity of use in favor of straightforwardness.
This VPN service does a lot right, and it gets a high For doing so score. However, it is neck-and-neck with Private Internet Access, not just in terms of what it offers but it is offered by it. Both are privacy-focused, both possess many arcane possibilities, and has a UI. TorGuard, for its part, has the rate but Internet Access defeats on it on endurance, which explains why it takes an Editors' Choice award along with NordVPN and TunnelBear. Still, TorGuard is.

Sprott Shaw's Administration Programs train our students to become proficient with the latest skills, techniques, procedures for Administration work and facilitation. Our program covers foundational concepts and strategies to ensure students are more than capable of practicing their intended field of work.
The specialized Legal Administration Program equips students with the capability of understanding the vocabulary and processes of law, compiling data, researching statistics, invoicing, and preparing legal correspondences like deeds, wills, affidavits, and briefs. The Medical Administration Program qualifies students to perform administrative duties in doctor's offices, hospitals, medical clinics, and other medical settings in both the public and private sectors.
* Not all programs are available at all campuses.
"I had researched a few different schools and there are lots of long waitlists. I wanted to be able to go back to school right now, and Sprott Shaw was able to get me to go back to school as soon as I applied."
"When I first came to Sprott Shaw, I was inspired because the classrooms were small and focused on individualized learning [which is] what I needed. I knew that I was making the right decision. Now, my life is different. Now, I smile more."
"Sprott Shaw was amazing with being flexible in terms of start date and class hours. The afternoon worked for me so they were willing to send me to a different campus if I needed a different schedule for a certain class so it's a really personalized experience."
"Coming to Sprott Shaw was such a great experience and all the teachers are absolutely incredible. Sprott Shaw has completely changed my life for the better."
"Having my kids with autism proved to me that I could do this for other kids. The instructors [at Sprott Shaw College] were positive, there was a lot of classroom engagement. It made it a fun place to learn. So all in all, it was just a positive experience."
"It was easy and quick to get in to make an appointment with the advisor and she was really helpful throughout the process. She explained to me step-by-step what I need to do, so it was nice to have that support."
