[Update: August 8] Vivo Android 10 (Funtouch OS 10) update tracker: Devices that have received the OS so far
This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..
Original story (from June 04) follows:
By virtue of smartphone units sold in Q1 2020, Vivo is the sixth leading vendor in the world with a market share of 7%. According to a Counterpoint Research, this equates to over 21 million units shipped in the said period.
Despite its solid position in the top 10 list of smartphone vendors in the world, Vivo might not be known to many people in the west. For a quick intro, Vivo is the company that pioneered the in-display fingerprint scanning tech on your current phone.
The company is also at the heart of several other smartphone innovations, but that's not the purpose of this article. Here, we talk about the company's software update escapades, more so the latest Vivo Android 10 update that brings Funtouch OS 10 to eligible devices.
Vivo Android 10 update (Funtouch OS 10)
Similar to a few other Android vendors, Vivo also registered three devices into the beta program of Android Q, namely Vivo X27, Vivo NEX S, and Vivo NEX A. However, these devices are yet to receive the stable Funtouch OS 10 update (as of June 4).
Matter of fact, Vivo still has a long way to go as far as the stable Android 10 update is concerned. Most devices are still testing the beta version with an expected release of the stable OTA somewhere in Q2 and Q3 2020.

Help Wanted! How to view GeoCV tour in VR on website9966
74385 3 3
Liverpool U.K.
|Convrts private msg quote post Address this user
|Hello WGANers!
I mentioned this in another thread but thought it worth starting it as a new topic.....
Basically, you can't currently view GeoCV tours in VR.
I have just sat down with a client who loves the GeoCV offer and wants to self host but 100% needs the tours to be viewable in VR.... so we're stuck between a Matterport tour which is viewable in VR (but they don't have control of the content) or a GeoCV tour which isn't (but can be self-hosted).... a dilemma!!
There are potentially 60-80 properties so I was wondering is it at all feasible to build a way to view the GeoCV tours in VR online with a Google Cardboard etc similar to Matterport? I know they used WebVR to create their VR viewer but I wondered if there were any developers out there who had any idea of the potential for a viewer?

|Unfortunately, we don't support VR yet. Our surveys have shown that only a couple percent of customers would actually like to use VR. Perhaps, you're in this exceptional group
But you could download all or selected panoramas and use third-party virtual tour solutions to build VR experience. We have not used any particular solution, but you might try https://roundme.com.
I'd recommend to significantly limit number of panoramas used for VR, maybe 1-2 per room, and some connecting panoramas in between. Users would teleport between them anyway, since smooth continuous movement between panoramas could cause motion sickness in VR.
I understand that manually downloading panoramas from GeoCV and uploading to a another service is not great user experience, but it could be a workaround for now. Hope this helps.

|And that right there is one of the many reasons the GeoCV experience is so good.... you post a message asking for advice on this forum and you get a reply direct from Anton!!
Thanks for the advice Anton, as I've posted elsewhere we don't really work in the realty sector and for many of our clients the VR experience is an important requirement, so yes unfortunately we very much sit in that couple of %!
If we can create a VR experience from our GeoCV tours for clients then we're happy to do a bit more work in the meantime!
Thanks again Anton, the GeoCV system and experience is fantastic and you guys continue to impress!

Hong Kong, October 22, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has completed
a periodic review of the ratings of Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited
and other ratings that are associated with the same analytical unit.
The review was conducted through a portfolio review in which Moody's
reassessed the appropriateness of the ratings in the context of the relevant
principal methodology(ies), recent developments, and a comparison
of the financial and operating profile to similarly rated peers.
The review did not involve a rating committee. Since 1 January
2019, Moody's practice has been to issue a press release following
each periodic review to announce its completion.
This publication does not announce a credit rating action and is not an
indication of whether or not a credit rating action is likely in the near
future. Credit ratings and outlook/review status cannot be changed
in a portfolio review and hence are not impacted by this announcement.
For any credit ratings referenced in this publication, please see
the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com
for the most updated credit rating action information and rating history.
Key rating considerations are summarized below.
Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited's (SHE) A2 issuer rating primarily
reflects (1) its standalone credit strength; and (2) a two-notch
parental uplift from Shanghai Electric (Group) Corporation (SEGC,
A2 negative), an entity wholly owned by the State-Owned Assets
Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the Shanghai municipal
SHE is the largest of SEGC's subsidiaries, and has almost the same
product profile as its parent. Its revenue, EBITDA,
debt and total assets as of year-end 2018 accounted for 88.3%,
95.4%, 65.0% and 87.2%
of that of SEGC.
SHE's standalone credit strength is underpinned by its (1) market leadership
in power equipment and elevators in China, (2) product diversification
to reduce volatility in performance, and (3) excellent liquidity.
However, SHE's standalone credit strength is constrained by (1)
its moderately high debt leverage; (2) the company's profitability,
which is strained by the strong competition in the elevator business;
and (3) the company's increasing exposure to execution risks in new businesses
and expansion in overseas markets.
This document summarizes Moody's view as of the publication date
and will not be updated until the next periodic review announcement,
which will incorporate material changes in credit circumstances (if any)
during the intervening period.
The principal methodology used for this review were Global Manufacturing
Companies published in June 2017. Please see the Rating Methodologies
page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.
This publication does not announce a credit rating action. For
any credit ratings referenced in this publication, please see the

"I feel that Pilates should be for everyone of all ages, shapes and sizes"
After many years of enjoying all sort of fitness from aerobics, to ballroom, through to pole fitness, Sarah then discovered Pilates in 2004, and has been hooked ever since. She's seen the changes in her own body over the years and wants to keep spreading the Pilates word. Sarah completed her teacher training at the end of 2012 with YBFIT Training in Surrey and since then has been teaching group mat Pilates in a small studio, and has loved every second of it!
From 2017 onwards Sarah became a fully qualified instructor of Pilates Reformer, Cadillac and Chair with Lisa B Pilates Academy for Teachers, and fully trained to teach Pregnancy and Post-Natal Pilates.
Sarah says, "I feel that Pilates should be for everyone of all ages, shapes and sizes, and I always feel so rewarded when clients have those sudden eureka moments through regular practice. As Joseph quotes "In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference" and I have seen this first hand with clients (and myself) over the years! It's a whole lifestyle choice!"
We are delighted to have Sarah join us at RP! She has a great energy, infectious enthusiasm and gorgeous smile and her classes are fun and challenging!

RNC chief's job is not in jeopardy, says Newfoundland and Labrador's justice minister
But Andrew Parsons acknowledges 'there's work to be done' in wake of police association's non-confidence vote in Joe Boland
Justice Minister Andrew Parsons wants Royal Newfoundland Constabulary officers to know he is taking their vote of non-confidence in Chief Joe Boland seriously. At the same time, he personally has every confidence in the chief.
"I don't think either of those has to be mutually exclusive," Parsons said in response to questions from The Telegram Monday. "I think I can feel that way, but at the same time acknowledge that there's work to be done.
"They need to know that I take their concerns very seriously, but I will not be coming out and saying that the chief's position is in jeopardy. That's not where my head is, at all."
Last month, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association (RNCA) asked its members to take part in an online vote, responding with a simple yes or no to the question, "Do you have confidence in the leadership of the chief of police?" Though the result of the vote was leaked Friday afternoon, the association confirmed it Monday: 90 per cent of those who participated in the survey — more than 75 per cent of RNCA members voted — said no.
"(Members of the RNCA) need to know that I take their concerns very seriously, but I will not be coming out and saying that the chief's position is in jeopardy. That's not where my head is, at all." — Andrew Parsons
The vote followed months of rumblings of tension within the force, with multiple sources alleging issues of low morale and intimidation related to Boland's leadership.
Boland, who was appointed RNC chief by Parsons in 2017, issued a statement when the result became public, saying the vote had been engineered as a scheme by the RNCA executive to undermine him.
"I am fully confident that by calling and promoting this non-confidence vote among RNC officers, the RNCA executive is seeking to discredit and impair my ability as chief to adequately and properly fulfil my obligations to the public as well as to all RNC members," Boland wrote. "Simply put, this vote has been promoted by a few individuals who wish to avoid accountability, and by some other officers who oppose the progressive and necessary changes I have made to date within the RNC."
The vote deflects from the accountability of a "small but noisy minority of members," wrote Boland, who joined the RNC in 1983. He said he takes issue with "an RNCA executive that turns its attention to actions which seek to intimidate and coerce me from properly fulfilling my mandate out of fear of being demonized or criticized publicly for doing what the law mandates me to do as the chief of police."
Aware of discord
Parsons said he had been aware of the situation with the RNCA and Boland for "a little while," but declined to specify the issues brought to him by the association. Nor did he comment on the 2019 RNCA workplace satisfaction and engagement survey, which indicated 48 per cent of respondents had replied to the statement, "I feel I can initiate a formal recourse process (e.g. grievance, complaint, appeal) without fear of reprisal," with, "Strongly disagree."
"When I came in this job five years ago, there was a pretty big crisis in confidence in the RNC. There were a lot of high-profile negative incidents that were dominating a lot of the media landscape," Parsons said, mentioning the 2017 public inquiry into the police shooting death of Donald Dunphy two years previously, which cleared RNC Const. Joe Smyth of wrongdoing.
Other serious matters drawing outrage from the public included the 2017 case of RNC Const. Doug Snelgrove, who was charged and acquitted of sexually assaulting a young woman while he was on duty. His acquittal was later overturned on appeal and he is set for a new trial. There was also the 2015 conviction of RNC Const. Sean Kelly for making obscene phone calls to a woman.
"Since that time, the amount of time that I deal with these types of (public confidence issues) is far reduced," Parsons said. "I think that's down to the accountability that's been shown, the leadership that's been shown, and that's by all involved, including the chief, as well as the force, who realize that the negative incidents of a few colour the many positive interactions of the greater. I can tell you that what I hear from the public about the police now is far less than what I used to hear, and I think that's because at every opportunity I've shown that I have trust in the RNC, I have confidence in them and their abilities and their duty to the public."
Parsons said he has pledged to work with both the association and Boland to find a resolution to the issue and is hoping to serve as a sort of mediator, bringing them together to work out a solution. He said both sides have committed to co-operating, though the RNCA's news release seems less sure that's the case.
The association said it has attempted to address the concerns of its membership with Boland's office without success.
"Unfortunately, rather than recognize the results of this vote and begin a process to rebuild the relationship between the executive and the frontline members, Chief Boland has chosen to question the legitimacy of the process," the statement said, insisting it is not seeking to intimidate or coerce the chief from his mandate.
The vote was organized after lengthy discussion amongst the executive, it said, and not as a result of a noisy minority.
"As representatives of the membership, we are disappointed that the chief has taken this route. However, we reiterate our commitment to work with the leadership of the RNC to address these concerns. We hope that Chief Boland will choose to join us in this process to rebuild the trust and confidence our frontline members should have in their leadership."

The makers of Section 375 were of a promotional event at a 5-star hotel in Juhu, Mumbai. Actors Rahul Bhat, Meera Chopra, Akshaye Khanna and Richa Chadha were snapped by the shutterbugs. All pictures/Yogen Shah and Pallav Paliwal
In picture: Rahul Bhatt at the promotional event.1/7
For the unversed, Section 375 will be the closing film at the Singapore South Asian International Film Festival (Sg.SAIFF). Directed by Ajay Bahl, the film revolves around Section 375 of Indian Penal Code laws and explores the issue of sexual harassment.
In picture: Meera Chopra opted for an off-shoulder floral dress for the promotional event.2/7
"The film is about creating a meaningful dialogue in society about the rape law in India and it is fitting that its journey starts at a prestigious film festival," Richa Chadha said in an interview with PTI.
In picture: Richa Chadha opted for a white top, paired with beige coloured thigh-high slit skirt to promote the film.3/7
Akshaye Khanna also said: "I am happy that the film has been picked to be the closing film at Sg.SAIFF... It is an amazing platform to showcase the hard work and passion that has gone into crafting this film and my personal journey in playing this character which has so many shades and nuances."4/7
Not only this, but Richa Chadha also said in an interview with mid-day: "The government is doing its bit by setting up more Mahila courts [in the country] that tackle crimes against women. Such courts are also being presided over by female judges."5/7
The film shows actress Richa Chadha playing the character of a public prosecutor who fights to bring justice to her client who has accused a filmmaker of allegedly raping her.6/7
On the other hand, the defence lawyer's character is played by Akshaye Khanna who is seen defending his client Rahul Bhatt (accused of rape) before the court.7/7

5.4.5 introduces high CPU usage
I don't know why this happens, but with 5.4.0-5.1-liquorix-amd64 a lot of background programs have a much higher CPU usage and the CPU never idles. When I reboot with 5.4.0-1.1-liquorix this load is gone. I would guess this has to do with the HZ change from 1000 to 250.
Programs like conky, which usually don't consume much CPU, need suddenly severe load of CPU. I can see sporadically daemons which should idle, jumping up to the top CPU consumers.

Can you show the output of inxi -b?

Can you measure the temperature of your CPU using sensors on 5.4.0-1.1 and 5.4.0-5.2 with inxi -s? I'm curious if time accounting issues also manifest as real CPU usage increases.
Should look similar to this:
:: Code ::$ inxi -s
Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 40.0 C mobo: N/A gpu: nvidia temp: 47 C
Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A gpu: nvidia fan: 0%
Also, the output of inxi -tc will be useful during these CPU load spikes. For example, I'm just streaming a youtube video and my top CPU consumers look like so:
:: Code ::$ inxi -tc
Processes: CPU top: 5
1: cpu: 4.6% command: xorg pid: 1151
2: cpu: 4.3% command: firefox pid: 3733
3: cpu: 3.5% command: firefox pid: 3877
4: cpu: 2.7% command: kwin_x11 pid: 1724
5: cpu: 1.9% command: firefox pid: 2000037
Back to top
This is in idle with 5.4.0-5.1-liquorix-amd64.
:: Code ::$ inxi -tc
Processes: CPU top: 5
1: cpu: 27.5% command: cinnamon pid: 2861
2: cpu: 20.6% command: firefox-bin pid: 5939
3: cpu: 14.4% command: conky pid: 3104
4: cpu: 13.0% command: wire-desktop pid: 3317
5: cpu: 11.2% command: xorg pid: 1508
CPU temperature looks normal, maybe slightly higher CPU temperature (water cooling)
:: Code ::$ inxi -s

Location: East Coast, West Coast? I know it's one of them.
A desktop should not be consuming 12-28% of your cpu. There may be a process in cinnamon that is spinning out control. Firefox using many resources is normal if you aren't using script blocking since javascripts will be running frantically out of control in the background. conky also should not be using that much cpu, unless it was a coincidence and you got the process cpu data right when conky was updating itself.
Back to top
The issue is only happening with 5.4.0-5.1-liquorix-amd64. Basically any process which usually doesn't consume much CPU does with the latest kernel. I don't see conky ever in the CPU usage tasks, but with this kernel it's on top. Even mysql server jumps up periodically, even it's not in usage at all.
This is the first time I see this behaviour and the inxi output does not even show the actual issue as it reports completely wrong values. While it says cinnamon would consume 10% CPU on 5.4.0-1.1-liquorix-amd64, it actually only consumes 2% in other monitors. I will show you more exact data tomorrow, with screenshots what actually is going on on my end, then you will see that something is really wrong.
It also has nothing to do with cpu power saving, as this is disabled in the motherboard and the CPU never drops below 3GHz. It's really hard to explain, but even after boot and no window is open, the CPU usage is crazy. It constantly jumps from almost no usage to severe usage.
I already looked in the kernel log and there is nothing suspicious and the only change from the Kernel config which differs, beside new modules, is the Hz change.
Back to top
Hmm, I think what we're seeing here is increasing tick rate from 250hz to 1000hz affects applications that spin on every tick. What's more unusual is that this shouldn't increase the CPU usage of every application.
Could you run # perf stat -a sleep 5
An example of the output:
:: Code ::$ sudo perf stat -a sleep 5
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
80,014.60 msec cpu-clock # 15.999 CPUs utilized
36,004 context-switches # 0.450 K/sec
3,904 cpu-migrations # 0.049 K/sec
3,827 page-faults # 0.048 K/sec
2,852,149,067 cycles # 0.036 GHz
1,440,339,928 instructions # 0.51 insn per cycle

11,771,733 branch-misses # 3.93% of all branches
5.001138358 seconds time elapsed
Another thing you can try is run # perf record -g -a sleep 5, then # perf report --percent-limit 2 and paste the output here. This will show us what symbols are spinning the fastest on your system.
And as an example of mine, within 2% of all symbols sampled, all of them are either kernel upkeep (swapper/kernel.vmlinux), or QSGRenderThread (QT rendering thread for kwin/plasma-desktop):

That actually sounds like more time accounting bugs in Linux. The time accounting just over a year ago was MUCH worse than what you're reporting, and it affected both cpufreq/intel-pstate, causing both frequency governors to blast the CPU frequency to max. From my current testing, when running powersave on intel-pstate or ondemand on acpi-cpufreq, CPU frequency is set properly.
Also, remember, Liquorix uses the performance governor (both acpi-cpufreq+intel-pstate), by default. If you desire lower power consumption at the trade off of lower throughput (sometimes by a lot), you can install TLP and set the governor to ondemand/powersave for your respective cpufreq driver. For acpi-cpufreq, you want ondemand; for intel-pstate, you want powersave.
At this point, most people get a benefit from 1000hz + tickless idle, but it seems there's a few bespoke machines out there that will either report 0 or 100% cpu usage when nearly completely idle. Hopefully the perf output gives us a clue of what might be the issue.

There is no liquorix linux tools package and by that I don't have a working perf tool available.
Building the tools in the headers source folder also fails:
:: Code ::$ sudo make -C tools/ perf_install

Back to top
Can you not use your distribution's perf tool? There's nothing particularly special about the perf tool that comes with a kernel. All that matters is that it's relatively modern.
For example, I'm on Arch and I use the generic perf package named community/perf.

Varied Value: Why change it up
September 18, 2015
If you have been at anything challenging for any period of time you have been tempted to quit. The aspect of any endeavor that provides the most attention seems to get the least. In his Great Book with Winning in Mind, Lanny Bassham discusses three areas that must be in harmony- The Conscious mind, the Subconscious mind and the Self Image. 95% of the winners come from 5% of all competitors. Why? Because the Mind (conscious, sub, self-image) many times decides to shut things down way before any challenge has occurred. Sometimes the mere threat of a challenge can bring a halt to operations. For most health enthusiasts we get into a rut for our minds sake. NICE SAFE REPITION- the treadmill, the elliptical and on and on! No Challenge, No mess, No fuss and stalled Results. These mundane Reps are not training the most important function we have! Our mind. Varied unconventional training keep the mind off balance and it must work to stay involved. We must think and do. How can a 40 minute workout at a myriad of movements make me a better endurance athlete? Easy-well it's not easy but the answer is. It is training my mind to be focused and involved. When I have to think to perform I do not have loads of time to consider if I am tired or thirsty or uncomfortable-No I am involved in my training so when the last miles become agonizing I don't THINK AGONY I stay focused on the process not the product. Our Race plan, Workout plan or whatever plan needs to be decided on long before the race begins. You decide as much as you can before you are faced with the challenge not when you are tired. There are those who leave the Gym or won't come in if they find out a workout is something they don't "like". That is the best time to learn to focus and feast on the process. Learn it and lean on it for performance. The pre decided process will keep you moving long after your projected performance has let you down.
So....take up something new. Break out-go varied. Learn to focus and be present then go back to what you love and see how much more fulfilling it has become....
Well anyway....IT WORKS FOR ME!!

Three men from Punjab have been arrested for allegedly trying to sell more than 150 Alexandrine Parakeets to sellers in Jama Masjid, Shastri Park and other areas in the capital.
Alexandrine Parakeets are in high demand as they have the ability to mimic human speech. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Alexandrine Parakeet has a near threatened species status.
The rescued parrots are 10 days old, and the accused had retrieved them from hilly areas in Punjab. Police said they received information on April 16 that the Parakeets were brought into Delhi through a private roadway bus, packed into double-partition iron cages.
The accused, Alimuddin, Imran and Mohammad Kamar, had left from Bhatinda and shifted to another bus in Ludhiana. They reportedly struck a deal to sell the birds to a man who runs a bird shop in Moolchand.
When the bus arrived at 5.30 am, police teams nabbed the accused from the spot. Police invoked sections of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and arrested the men. They were produced before a local court and remanded in judicial custody till April 30.
"All the birds are very young and require proper treatment and care. Hence, the birds, numbering 155, are directed to be kept at Jain Bird hospital with the direction to the director concerned to keep all the birds in safe custody," the court order read.
The birds underwent a four-hour treatment at the hospital and are reportedly safe.
The animal welfare officer with a private NGO, who tipped off police, said, "The Parakeets lay eggs high up in the trees. We have seen people climb up the trees to retrieve them. They are able to say a few human words, and have to be taught within the first year of their birth. They fetch anywhere between Rs 4,000 and Rs 5,000. The ones who are able to mimic human speech can fetch as high as Rs 25,000."

I am working on this constrained optimization problem. The objective function is the efficiency of the machine which is determined by 6 controllable variables. The constraint is the pressure can't exceed 10 psi. The pressure is dependent on a set of unknown parameters which most likely has little overlap with the 6 controllable variables.
In a nutshell
Objective function f(X)
Constraints g(Y) < 10
Typical optimization problem usually has the same parameters for objective function and constraint. What should I do if objective and constaints are using different sets of variables?
Views: 366
If it is truly the case that your objective function depends on a vector X, and your constraints depend on a vector Y, and there is no relationship between values of Y and values of X, then the constraints are irrelevant, and your problem is an unconstrained optimization problem.
My guess is that there is a relationship, and you just have to write out the math to know what that relationship is.
-Irv Lustig
Optimization Principal
Princeton Consultants
If you dont know about the relationship between variables and responses, try using a designed experiment. If you have 6 parameters to test, you could use a definitive screening design. Use PSI and your other response in your model, then do a multi-objective function optimization.

For enterprise-level use Speedify also has some developer tools, including SDK, API, cloud, dedicated servers, as well as custom programs upon request. A premium plan usually gets you more gigabytes and bandwidth to start.

There are paid plans available, offering unlimited data and the chance to choose the server location. How safe is it?

You might not think that you have any reason to hide the internet traffic coming from your phone, but remember that you send texts, photos, and emails from it.
Nothing matters more to us that our user's privacy, and our commitment to protecting your data is second-to-none.
Best Free VPN for Android
Free VPNs have a limited number of servers whereas, VPNs with a trial period offer many servers to surf through. Why we don't recommend free vpns for android, however, it's worth mentioning that when visiting websites with encrypted connections (HTTPS), hackers can't see what you do online. The provider offers fast connection speeds. We compare Betternet against top VPNs in our detailed review. Want military-grade protection with empty pockets? Practically speaking, anything which is free always end up in more disasters than the absence of it, but even you can give any of the best free VPNs, a try but with precautionary efforts. This has lead to them having above-average prices, which may present a deal-breaker for some users. Some providers advertise connections to free VPN servers. Free users can only use one device at a time and when you do pay you can only use three devices at the same time.

It is easy to activate and use too. If you are new to the world of VPNs, TunnelBear provides a great free VPN service which includes a user-friendly interface complete with animated grizzly bears. Because of this, I always recommend using a premium, low cost VPN like NordVPN. Additionally, a VPN encrypts your data, which comes in handy when browsing the web on a public network — more on that later on as well. Step 2, it comes with more than 3,000 servers all across the globe in 160 locations. A VPN hides your true IP address by allowing you to connect to the internet through a server run by the VPN service.
Speedify VPN
CyberGhost advertises as a complete VPN solution, and they're not overestimating their service by claiming so. 88 a month on the 15-month plan, PrivateVPN is definitely worth considering. Tor cons, cyberGhost Very secure, no logs, and fast. User-friendly Android apps with a built-in ad and malware blocker. If you're careful with your money, but do want a premium VPN, there is a strong up-and-comer that we wholeheartedly recommend: Lots of server locations avcailable to free users Cons: Functionality. Here are our favorite free VPN apps for Android. For instance, by using a VPN, you can send a personal photo album, without worrying that your pictures will be leaked for the world to see.
Some VPNs are only available as a browser extension, for Chrome or Firefox, for example. 99 ExpressVPN - - $6. Your identity and IP address will be secured with a military-grade protection system. Because you can't select specific servers within those regions, OperaVPN is not a good choice for streaming. That's on the more expensive side of top-tier VPNs.
Unblock Websites — VPN Proxy App
There's no kill switch available for disabling internet access if the VPN connection drops, and you don't get any tech support. You'll always be able to find one in the country you want that's not getting slammed with traffic. Most free VPNs have hidden downsides that range from annoying ads to privacy breaches and data leaks. A free version offered by this provider is not appropriate for multi-purpose use on the Internet.
It can successfully unblock Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime, and other services, too. The app reliably protects the P2P traffic even in the most extreme conditions. It doesn't collect a lot of data on its users. Most premium VPNs offer free trials and money-back guarantees so you can test them out risk-free. ProtonVPN Free From the creators of the secure and encrypted ProtonMail comes ProtonVPN. When the period exceeds, you have to either pay for a subscription or delete an application.

Windscribe's Key Features
All in all, Virtual private network (VPN) services is not a new topic to lots of 3ptechies readers. For example, stay far away from the free VPN Hola. Moreover, free services usually have only a few server locations available, limiting your ability to bypass geo-restrictions. Multi-device support. Not only this, their app allows maximum compatibility on PC, Android and iOS devices. But they are often restricted by speed or do not support torrenting and streaming. Also, this amazing app is packed with lots of breathtaking functions. Instead, it provides manual configuration files for OpenVPN.
P2P is not allowed at the ProtonVPN free tier. Need no registration and credit card details. This involves logging in your credit card details in the app. Proton AG is a group composed of Harvard scientists and die-hard advocates for privacy. Some VPN protocols, including OpenVPN, use the Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) protocols, which are also the standards to encrypt non-VPN connections between your web browser and secure websites (those that begin with HTTPS). Just like ProtonVPN, TunnelBear operates on a freemium model but the way different plans have been segmented is different. But if you start using a VPN, you will add another layer of security and encryption to your chats and make it almost impossible to be intercepted.
The only place ExpressVPN falls notably behind its competitors is in price. Who wouldn't want to fill their buckets with money? 99 per month for optional HackLock and BlindSearch functions for email protection and the most private search. It is very easy to unblock the restricted websites using this app. However, if you don't want to bother signing up and need a VPN quickly, it comes in handy.

ProtonVPN does not offer any servers that use PPTP or other insecure VPN protocols The 5 Major VPN Protocols Explained OpenVPN, SSTP, L2TP: We were even able to watch BBC iPlayer without detection while connected to a UK endpoint. Well, kind of. A monthly subscription will set you back $9, but you can get the price down to $4.
The VPNs we will discuss from here on out are completely free. Latest xda news, the premium service comes with its own benefits if upgraded to the package. A user can choose whether they want to connect to a rented server or a company-owned one. As might be expected, the free VPN service is somewhat limited when compared to the paid tier of service. PIA has over 3,300 servers, which is staggeringly high. By the way, follow us on twitter: They have some of the faster free speeds on their free trial when compared to other free trials even though they are marketed as lower speeds against their paid service. While I was testing Windscribe, I noticed that my connection speeds were unstable. On its website, VPNBook claims to unblock Netflix and Hulu, but I couldn't access either of them when I tested it.

Anyway, I wrote this cause I was remembering the first time when I got into my room, I was disappointed to see the jungle. Afraid, too as you know, a lot of 'things' in the jungle one.
Then, my roommate came. Her mom was with us the whole time, excited about everything, getting nervous over the smallest things. She was even telling us what to call each other, our nick names so that we'll remember each other's names(remembering names was a freaking hard thing in uni cause all Chinese names one). But my roommate's was an easy one, Siew Peng. She's Grace, too but I like Siew Peng better, cause she looks more like a Siew Peng than a Grace.
The next five days after that was hell.
Despite it all, Orientation is actually one of the fond memories in university so far.
Now, the view outside my window, though it hasn't change a bit in appearance wise, it gives me a totally different feeling. The feeling of being home (room in college is my home in uni), the feeling of being belonged to somewhere, in the university. I wouldn't have said this, not even think its possible 3 months ago but I'm sure I'm gonna miss uni during the semester break.

The woman was held on Monday night and charged with grievous sexual assault.
W-Cpl Joseph is the charging officer (complainant) in this matter.
Police officers were told that the 23-year-old allegedly went to a roti shop in the Couva district for a job interview last week.
However, she was forced to go to a house in Edinburgh 500, against her will, where she was kept for three days. The victim alleges that she was sexually assaulted during this time.
She was then dropped off in Chaguanas, and the victim was able to notify relatives.
She was picked up and made a report to police.
She was also medically examined.
Investigations were launched under Sgt Jugmohan, which led to the detention and arrest of the woman.
Police are still searching for the woman's accomplice in this matter.

President Barack Obama kept a campaign promise he made to his wife Michelle and whisked her off to the Big Apple Saturday night to see a Broadway play.
"I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished," the president said in a statement an aide read to the press.
After grabbing a two-hour dinner at Blue Hill, a West Village restaurant touted by New York magazine as a "seminal Greenmarket haven" that features food grown by chef and owner Dan Barber on his upstate farm, the Obama's arrived at the Belasco Theater to see the August Wilson play "Joe Turner's Come and Gone."
The production is about black America in the early 1900s, with residents of a boardinghouse recalling their migration from the sharecropping farms of the South to the industrialized North.

Module summaryInnovation is challenging, but it is also an imperative for a successful business. All organisations, small and big, young and established from multiple industrial sectors face a challenge to develop new products and services. Students enrolled in this module will develop analytical and practical skills, which go beyond their core degree disciplines and make them competent contributors to innovation initiatives in corporate environment.Emphasis has been placed on a range of areas which employers have indicated graduates need in order to make a fast and successful start to their careers, in particular in the context of innovation related activities.To ensure sufficient industry insight, the module content is being developed and delivered with significant input from a Visiting Professor with a senior client facing day job related to innovation management in IBM. Content will take input from IBM expertise and a wider range of industry sources and delivery will include use of guest speakers from industry.Student learning of the skill areas covered will primarily be gained through development and delivery of an interdisciplinary-team based innovation project. Specific skill areas will include:- Innovation - from identifying new ideas to address business or client challenges, capability and business case development to commercialisation and delivery- Design thinking - use of tools, techniques and approaches to drive successful end user centric design of new solutions- Commercial awareness and value proposition development - understanding of key business and technical challenges, alignment of business and client needs with resources and capabilities, development of differentiation and "wow" factor- Collaboration - working in, and with, diverse multi-discipline teams and clients - Communication - effective communication using multiple methods with different target audiences from peers to senior business executives and clientsStudents will work in small project teams, each with representatives from different faculties and schools to simulate real-life industry situations but assessment will be made on an individual basis.
ObjectivesThis module provides the opportunity for students from different disciplinary backgrounds to gain analytical and practical skills, which employers have identified as needed by graduates to make a fast start in their careers and to contribute to innovation and wider internal and client projects. The module will increase student attractiveness to potential employers and enable students to make a faster impact in their careers once employed.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this module students should be able to:
- Critically assess different types of innovation and different phases of product or service development processes - from idea development through to commercialisation and delivery.
- Apply a number of design thinking approaches and techniques to drive successful end user centric design of new solutions and innovations.
- Demonstrate commercial awareness and synthesise different business and technological considerations into value proposition development.
- Design and deliver a professional client facing presentation.
- Work in diverse multi-discipline teams.
- Apply a range of communication methods.
The module will be based around eleven interactive workshop sessions. These will be focused on a matrixed approach, including development of a team innovation project, and practical learning and application of the range of skills covered. Some skill areas will be focused on in specific sessions, for example Design Thinking. Others, for example collaboration, will be woven into every session.
The module design also includes a level of iteration, both to simulate a realistic industry context and to enable reinforcement of the skills learned.
The module will address topics such as:
Introduction to key innovation concepts and why innovation matters. Identification of a client for the project and introduction to the innovation challenge. Students will learn about the importance of collaborative and open innovation and practical use of design thinking and creativity techniques to understand the client, the challenge and idea identification, prioritisation and selection. The module covers techniques such as written & visual communications of a selected idea, rapid build of prototype solutions, how much is enough and use of digital innovation platforms, business case development, differentiation and "wow factor". The module concludes with final team client presentations and learning review.

Private studyThe 78 hours of private study will largely be spent in two ways; the majority will be spent in group working to develop the team's assigned innovation project. This will need to be completed in stages during the module to achieve the learning outcomes. Teams will be put together, and briefed, in class, but will be expected to continue the work outside class, as this will involve research and development of requested specific deliverables.
The student will also document reflections of the learning from each session and create an individual report on their part in the teamwork project, the researching and writing of which will take some of the private study time.
Opportunities for Formative FeedbackFormative feedback will be provided during the sessions (including two sessions that involve the preparation for group presentations). Students who complete three of their weekly reflective reports within the first five weeks will receive written comments on their writing. In the tenth session, students will receive feedback on their project and presentation performance from industry leaders.

Helical Pier Foundation: How Long Will It Last?November 6, 2013 Melanie Chaney
Repairing your property's foundation is not something to take lightly. It's important to do your research on the options available to you to make the best choice for the future of your property. A helical pier foundation is an excellent choice for commercial property owners who want a solution that will last for a lifetime.
Unlike concrete underpinnings, which can shrink, or concrete piers, which can crack or break, helical piers offer the ultimate in foundation stabilization. Why? Because helical piers effectively transfer the weight of load-bearing walls from unstable soil to competent soil.
Although they are made of steel, helical piers are not the same as push piers. One major difference is push piers do not have helical plates welded to the shaft. The plates give the helical piers the appearance of screws and cause them to function in a similar way.
How? Rather than being hydraulically driven into the soil like a push pier, helical piers are mechanically "screwed" into the soil. The plates are designed to pull the pier into the soil once it is installed and extensions are added as needed in order to reach the proper depth. Once that depth has been reached, the piers are secured with steel foundation brackets and the weight of the structure is transferred. As a result, cracks can be repaired, doors and windows can be returned to normal functionality, and the structure can often be lifted back to its original position.
When installed properly, helical pier foundations will last permanently. Our Foundation Supportworks™ helical pier system is warrantied for 75 years on top of Baird Foundation Repair's lifetime warranty. This system offers several advantages to other repair methods, which includes:
Year-round installation
Installation from either inside or outside the structure
Stabilization of both light and heavy structureshelical piers , lifetime warranty , Supportworks , year round installation
