The world of Wi-Fi Routers never ceased to bring something new, not only in terms of hardware design but also networking capabilities. Connected devices including laptops, game consoles, smart TVs, and other appliances are getting more sophisticated and able to handle high speed data transfer.
To do that, however, there is the need for reliable router to optimize connectivity. The C6300 and C7000 cable modem routers are sitting at the top of NETGEAR's home networking lineup featuring DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem to tackle simultaneous demanding applications.
Designed to function as both cable modem and router for home networking, the C6300 helps you reduce monthly rental fee for using the modem provided by your ISP. It is compatible with major service providers including but not limited to Time Warner Cable, Comcast XFINITY, Cablevision, and Cox.
C6300's Wi-Fi runs on simultaneous dual-band configuration. Its 2.4GHz band delivers up to 450Mbps, while the 5GHz band transmits at maximum speed of 1300Mbps. On the back of the router, there are four Gigabit Ethernet ports for more reliable wired connectivity, a USB 2.0 port, and a coaxial cable internet. On the front of the unit, you can find WPS and Wi-Fi buttons.
The highlight of NETGEAR C6300 is DOCSIS 3.0 technology to enable channel bonding capabilities. When choosing a cable modem, most people consider only the maximum speed offered. Let us not forget that such speed is theoretical and tested inside a controlled environment where congestion and interference are non-existent. In reality, they will get much slower speed because the cable modem probably provides only one channel for each downstream and upstream.
NETGEAR C6300 comes equipped with advanced channel bonding technology, the DOCSIS 3.0. It uses 16 x 4 channel bonding (16 downstream channels and 4 upstream channels) to get the most of your cable Internet subscription fee. If the maximum speed of one downstream channel reaches about 5Mbps, you get a total of 80Mbps maximum download speed.
During traffic congestion, the speed will drop per channel, but the total amount still delivers considerable speed even for demanding applications such as video gaming and HD video streaming. More channels also mean better redundancy; when one channel goes down, you still have many channels available to transmit data. The C6300 cable modem router delivers up to 680Mbps download speed and 122Mbps upload speed when using cable connection.
A single USB 2.0 port may not serve well for sharing, but it should not be a problem when you mainly transfer small-sized files like pictures or documents. You can also use the USB port to connect an external hard drive for backup purpose. Every client in the network can access the external storage device, unless you set some restrictions.
Just like most routers from NETGEAR, the C6300 is supported by Genie App to manage and configure the network. Initial setup is done via browser-based platform, so there is no CD or any software that runs in the background all the time. You can also access the online configuration from computer or mobile devices. In terms of security, the cable modem router features parental controls, encryption, and guest networks.
In simple way, the C7000 is an improved version of C6300 with better-powered processor, maximum speed, channel bonding, and signal efficiency. Also known as the Nighthawk AC1900 Cable Modem Router, the C7000 is equipped with dual core processor and industry-leading 24 x 8 channel bonding technology.
Powerful processor is necessary to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, ensuring smooth connections to every client. The most important thing is that C7000 has 24 downstream and 8 upstream channels to give maximum download speed of 960Mbps through cable connection.
Wireless connectivity is also improved with theoretical speed of 600Mbps via 2.4GHz band and 1300Mbps on the 5GHz band. Another addition is Beamforming technology which targets signals to active devices only instead of spreading it all across the room. Every client is the priority in signal distribution to give more efficient data transfer.
There is one thing that does not improve, however. Similar to C6300, there is only one USB 2.0 port in the C7000. Besides the sharing-features, more similarities are found in terms of compatibility with major service providers, security features including parental controls, guest networks, and Gigabit Ethernet ports.

AGP sought help in unification bid in Assam: ULFAOctober 1st, 2008 - 8:10 pm ICT by IANS
Guwahati, Oct 1 (IANS) The outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) Wednesday said Assam's main opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) had sought help from the outfit in its proposed bid to unify regional parties in the state."Although AGP sought our help for their unification bid, we decided to maintain a neutral stand," ULFA said in its fortnightly mouthpiece Swadhinata or Freedom emailed to IANS.
AGP is attempting revival of its fortunes by reuniting the party that witnessed a vertical split three years back with the unceremonious exit of former two-time chief minister and founder of the regional party Prafulla Kumar Mahanta.
AGP leaders last week announced that the decks for the unification had been cleared with Mahanta's AGP (Progressive), the Trinamool Gana Parishad (TGP), and the Purbanchaliya Loka Parishad (PLP), set to re-unite with the parent party Oct 14.
The decision to take back Mahanta as also other smaller parties, the TGP and the PLP, was felt necessary in view of the humiliating defeat suffered by AGP in the recently concluded Panchayat elections in January at the hands of the ruling Congress party. AGP had suffered similar ignominy in the 2001 and the 2006 assembly elections also.
The ULFA statement came down heavily on the AGP's unification bid, especially criticizing the move by the regional party to take back Mahanta into the partyfold.
Mahanta is accused of being involved in the infamous extra judicial killings (popularly referred in Assam as the secret killings) during his tenure as chief minister between 1996 and 2001. A probe headed by Justice (Retd) K.N. Saikia indicted the former chief minister of involvement in the secret killings.
"Mahanta was involved in the gruesome secret killings during his tenure and the AGP is now once again taking him back to the party merely for political gains. People of Assam are not fools to forget the reign of terror unleashed by Mahanta during his government," the ULFA statement said.
The recent decision by the AGP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to forge an alliance ahead of next year's general elections also came under attack from the ULFA.
"AGP has completely forgotten its ideology and is tying up with a communal party like the BJP merely for snatching power and political gains," the rebel statement said.
ULFA warned that it would not tolerate "wrong doings" and would be forced to take action against anybody indulging in acts not conforming to local interests.

The Jessie Chorley friendship quilt kit
This is my social and
interactive embroidery, applique and
patchwork project
that I have been developing since
2015 and which was launched in summer 2017
This Quilt kit celebrates my work as a social artist and
the main focus of this kit is creating friendships through stitch and our mutual love of making things with our hands combined with our shared passion for collecting and repurposing fabric
I was home schooled, by my Mother and textile artist Primmy Chorley. I was educated with creativity at the fore front of my learning. Stitching, printing, woodwork, cooking and making things with my hands was part of my daily education from an early age. we have always been a family of makers. I learnt many of the skills that I am sharing with you today from the like-minded others that contributed to my education, both my Mum and my Grandma both inspirations today as they carry on making daily.
It is this passion for the hand-made that inspires my work as an artist, and my life as a shop owner and traveling stitcher and tutor. It also fires my need and desire to teach my skills to like minded others through my workshops and social craft groups that have formed through my workshops and travels over the years.
Sharing skills, techniques, fabrics and ideas are all things that happen regularly during my workshops. It is sharing of ideas and inspiration, and the strong friendships that are created through simply sitting and making together that have inspired my friendship quilt kit. Inevitably, by the end of any of my workshops, threads, buttons, fabrics and phone numbers are swapped. And thus the stories that our "needles and threads create" continue to create new friendships, strengthening our narratives through a shared love of making things together.
I'm aware that I am not the first or definitely not the only person to recognize and be inspired by this communal and mindful way of working. For generations, people have gathered in similar circles, chatting and creating friendships and memories through the process of making things with their hands. It is with this tradition in mind that I developed the Jessie Chorley Friendship Quilt Kit
My friendship quilt kits include six hand-illustrated and screen printed templates. These are designed to be stitched into, using the threads provided. The threads are six of my favorite colours that I work with every day. I have also provided you with a base fabric and some small fabric scraps to get you started on the appliqué. Applique and simple hand stitching are the main techniques used for creating these quilts
Pre-worn and pre-used fabric is essential in my work as a maker, the deeply embedded narrative inspires each stitch that creates my final stories, therfore I encourage you to do the same when construction your quilt
The design itself is based on a coverlet. A coverlet is a two-layer quilt or a quilt with out a middle layer. My finished "friendship quilts" are designed to be quite small: 35cm/59cm. This way, they remain quite precious with lots of detailed stitching; a perfect piece of art for your own home or for a gift for a memorable event
Once you have joined my Friendship quilt project I will keep in touch with you via my Instagram feed @jessiechorley where I ask you to regularly tag me and keep me updated. I will then invite you through this feed and through www.jessiechorley.com to social meet ups. There will also be opportunities to exhibit your finished quilts here at my shop or out and about at other locations in the future
I look forward to welcoming you in joining me and all the other other makers who will be part of this project, celebrating and making friendships through stitch
Each quilt kit contains:
x 6 hand illustrated templates
X 5 skeins of DMC embroidery threads in my favorite colours
A packet of assorted fabric scraps
A simple cotton base fabric
Full paper printed colour instructions booklet
A5 postcard of my favourite stitch techniques
All of the above will come tucked inside a hand screen printed natural 100% cotton tote bag, so you can carry your ongoing project around with you while it is in progress or when out and about stitching with friends
After the popular launch of this kit in August 2017 there are now over 800 fellow stitches taking part in this project

Beginner: Best way to learn?
I am really interested in 3d modeling/animation and am attempting to learn Maya.
What is the best way to start getting into this?
So far I have had reasonable progress learning basics with some youtube tutorials and I tried to get into the Digital Tutors "Introduction to Maya 3d modeling" which was claimed to be for beginners but the first lesson is having you create some extravagant 3d RC car and the instructor just kind of goes wayyy too fast and before I knew it, my model sort of looked like what he was doing but certain things went haywire and ended up just being really frustrating because of the speed and lack of detail he was going into and made me quit the series very early.
Any recomendations on videos or any kind of training that will actually treat me like a beginner and not throw me into a seemingly giant project like DT did?

I'm a beginner as well (only 1 month of Maya, completely new to 3d). I found the best way to learn a program as complicated as Maya is to take everything in strides, and not let yourself down by tackling extremely big projects right off the bat.
Start small, and learn 1 thing at a time, preferably with your own project. In other words, while most tutorials have you following step by step to create the same character/object, it's much more satisfying to work on your own character.
It does come with some downsides though. You'll run into many situations where you have a unique problem with your character that isn't covered in the tutorial, but I see this as a good thing, as I've learned so much more about the program by troubleshooting.
There's a ton of youtube tutorials available that cover nearly every feature in Maya, in addition to many paid tutorial sites, books, and the Maya help documentation (really good for learning about tools you haven't used).
The pipeline in which I'm teaching myself is somewhere along the lines of:
- Polygonal Modeling
- UV Unwrapping/Texturing
- Basic Joint Creation and Skin Binding
- Basics of IK/FK controls.
- Creating custom IK/FK controllers (a.k.a. An Introduction to NURBS curves)
- Parents/constraints, and the differences between them.
Next I'm tackling blend shapes and deformers, and somewhere down the line I'll start learning about animation, and finally, rendering.
Each step of the process has a HUGE amount of information, but if you concentrate on learning the basics of each category with the same character YOU create, it'll be more rewarding at the very end to finally see your character come to life.
I'm not sure if I can post it here, but I have a short 8 second animation/rigging test for a character I'm still working on if you're interested. Just send me a message.

A good way to gently build your skill is to model simple objects such as the items on your desk; perhaps a mobile phone, laptop power pack, lamp or even the desk itself.
Doing it this way allows you to produce a collection of models, that could be re-used in later projects. Also, you are able to finish projects instead of having to abandon them, like you did with the rather complex RC car.
Once you find you know enough modelling techniques and tools in Maya, consider a..."sketch book" approach. In other words, challenge yourself to do a "sketch"(a model) daily - no matter how simple.

Best way: Have someone show you how Maya works.
Ofc, in order to assimilate knowledge and get familiar with an assortment of problems, then you would have to end up running into limitations that require some rethinking.

I recommend digitaltutors as well.
There's a tremendous amount of tutorials on youtube as well, but you'll spend much more time learning (most youtubers can't make a proper tutorial to save their lives ).

"Any recomendations on videos or any kind of training that will actually treat me like a beginner and not throw me into a seemingly giant project like DT did?"
Sorry but digital tutors are the easiest out there. Eat3d, Gnomon, Phdvfx, fahrenheit all those guys. They are the better teachers thou not the better artists but looking at their results.
Don't get scared by them simply because you saw on their site the professional series of tutorials like the transforming robot.
Intro to modeling is not what you should begin with.
Nor is Introduction to Maya 2014.
They have a generic non-software specific Intro to computer 3d graphics etc. You should start with that.
I've watch hundreds of hours of each of the school's stuff. Persist with DT. Then as you progress move on to Gnomon etc.
BTW. If they go too fast, which they don't, re-watch it over and over.

start any project.
i am also a beginner.
I am normally using rhino. but I wanted to try to create some video to show some movements. so I just started creating some models. and This is how I get this forum page to solve unsolving problems.

I found that the easy way to understand how Maya works is "Learning Maya 2" book. It's some outdated for now, but gives explanation to the architecture and ideology of Maya from the first pages.

This thread is your first post... are you completely new to 3d, or just Maya?

I'd also recommend Digital Tutors. I started out with the Introduction to Maya X.0. In my case it was Maya 5.5, but the format is still the same. They make the assumption that you've never touched Maya before, and start you from the ground up. Be prepared to constantly pause or rewind each video until you've got it.
Granted, they've been doing this series for so long, it's entirely possible that the tutor may forget that in this version, he forgot to mention how he does something, not realizing that that mention was a couple of versions ago. So go back and watch a much earlier version of the series, not much has changed with the fundamental; if it has they'll definitely mention it in the version where it changed.
Be prepared to dedicate a LOT of time to this. It took me a couple of years to get really proficient. Maya is a VERY deep application, and there is a huge amount to learn, even if you plan on specializing in just one thing, like modeling or rigging or animation. If you plan on being a generalist, then there's that much more to learn.
Good luck.

Who says Christmas stories are now passe?
After my recent success of finishing my novel on time, I also just tied for first place in this month's flash fiction with this little number! Please read, enjoy, and leave your thoughts! I'm always anxious for feedback.
Yuletide Carole
"The night Santa went crazy, the night KrisKringle went nuts…" The kids screamed Weird Al from the backseat and Caroledid her best to smile and bop her head along to the music with them.
Ithad been a long drive, but Gammy Muriel's house was finally in sight and soon Carolewould be able to deliver her sweet precious monsters to her parents and breakopen a bottle of wine.
TheSUV slid into the immaculately shovelled laneway and Molly and Brad, ages sixand ten, didn't even wait until the engine shut off before jumping out andrunning to the front door.
"Gammy!Gammy!" they shouted, and barrelled against the welcoming legs of theirgrandmother who stood waiting for them in the doorway.
"Lookat you both! You're huge! Come on inside, there's cookies and a big glass ofmilk waiting for you on the table."
Thekids whooped and disappeared in the warmth of the house while Carole unloadedsuitcases from the trunk. Muriel stepped around the back to help her, hersweater wrapped close around her.
"Brr,"she shivered. "How was the drive?"
"Long,"Carole sighed and gave her mom a tight hug.
"Andhow are you?"
Caroleshrugged and focused once more on unpacking the vehicle, piling backpacks andtote bags on her arms. Muriel grabbed the remaining Dora the Explorer andSpiderman suitcases and wheeled them to the front of the house.
"Wellyou're not allowed to be depressed in my home. It's been a year, it's ChristmasEve, and you're surrounded by people who love you. Think you can crack a smilefor that?" Her mother's words were harsh, but her eyes belied the lecture.Carole gave a pathetic attempt at a grin and Muriel rolled her eyes, pushingher inside.
"Goeat some cookies."
Thatnight around midnight, Carole woke up. She wasn't sure what had woken her – therewere no children to be seen or heard and she couldn't remember any bad dreams.For a moment she lay in the darkness and felt tears trickle out the corners ofher eyes. Every day since Tom left had been hard, but Christmas was proving evenmore so.
Sheheard a noise from downstairs, the sound of tree ornaments shaking. Is thatwhat had pulled her out of her sleep? She frowned. It was probably Brad tryingto sneak a peek at his presents. Hopefully he hadn't corrupted Molly, too.
Carolepushed the covers off, pulled on her robe and went downstairs to the livingroom – to see a man in a red suit dancing with their tree.
"Excuseme?" she asked, fear struck in her heart. Was he trying to steal it? Some thiefdressed as Santa?
"Huh?"the man turned around, staggering on unsteady feet. "Who're you?"
Nope,just a drunk in the wrong house. "I think you may have gone through the wrongfront door, buddy. This is Muriel and Kevin's home."
"Oh!Muriel, I like Muriel, she makes good cookies. Who're you?" It was a trifledifficult to understand him through his slurry words.
"Carole,"Carole replied, her mouth a thin line. She wanted him to leave before he wokeup the kids.
"Carole,hi, I'm Dan. Sing with me, Carole. Your sister can sing too, I like twins." Hegrabbed her hand and spun her around in a stumbling waltz. Carole tried to pushhim away, but not too hard. Her goal was get him gone, not angry. "Rudorf the lead-nosed reindog," he sang."Tha's not right, does that sound right to you?"
"Notexactly," Carole agreed.
"Wait– who're you? This isn' my house. Oops." He let go of her and scrubbed at hisfake Santa beard. "You're a good dancer and pretty."
"Thankyou," Carole played along. "Now how about you go home and sleep this off?"
"Yeah,tha's a good idea. Nice to meet you, Annie."
Heshuffled to the front door and out into the snow. Carole watched him leave witha shake of her head and shut the door behind him.
"Ican't believe it," Muriel sputtered over her coffee the next morning. Molly wasentertained by her new plastic ponies and Brad by his army men. Kevin satreading yesterday's paper and Carole sat with her mother at the kitchen table."Dan Sutherland, our neighbour. He was playing Santa at the hospital charityparty last night. Apparently he got so drunk he stepped on the fake presents,tripped on a child, kissed a nurse and walked all the way home from thehospital. It's strange, he's always been so polite – and chairman of the Boardat the hospital!"
Alaugh burst through Carole's lips – a full, deep refreshing laugh at thereminder of last night's visitor.
"Mom?What's so funny?" Molly asked. She couldn't remember seeing her mother laughthat way before.
"Nothing,honey," Carole grinned. She leaned back in her chair and began to sing softlyto herself, "The night Santa went crazy;the night Kris Kringle went nuts…"

Oh, benchmarks.
Benchmarks of computer hardware have their uses. Especially if you have a relatively narrow and well-defined set of calculations that you need to perform, benchmarks are great tools to figure out which processor or graphics chip or whatever will deliver the best performance - scientific calculations, graphics processing (e.g. video games), these are all use cases where comparisons between benchmarks of different hardware components can yield useful information.
A different way to put it: benchmarks make sense in a situation where "more power" equals "better results" - better results that are noticable and make a difference. A GTX 1080 will result in better framerates than a GTX 1070 in a modern game like The Witcher 3, because we've not yet hit any (theoretical) framerate limit for that game. A possible future GTX 1090 will most likely yield even better framerates still.
Where benchmarks start to fall apart, however, is in use cases where "more power" does not equal "better results". Modern smartphones are a perfect example of this. Our current crop of smartphones is so powerful, that adding faster processors does not produce any better results for the kinds of ways in which we use these devices. Twitter isn't going to open or load any faster when you add a few hundred megahertz.
In other words, modern smartphones have bottlenecks, but the processor or RAM certainly isn't one of them. Before you can even reach the full potential of your quad-core 2.4Ghz 6GB RAM phone, your battery will run out (or explode), or your network connection will be slow or non-existent.
As a result, I never cared much for benchmarking smartphones. In 2013, in the wake of Samsung cheating in benchmarks, I wrote that "if you buy a phone based on silly artificial benchmark scores, you deserve to be cheated", and today, now that Apple is leading (in one subset of processor) benchmarks with its latest crop of mobile processors, the same still applies.
So when John Gruber posted about Apple A10 Fusion benchmarks...
Looking at Geekbench's results browser for Android devices, there are a handful of phones in shouting distance of the iPhone 7 for multi-core performance, but Apple's A10 Fusion scores double on single-core.
...I snarked:
Funny how just like in the PPC days, benchmarks only start mattering when they favour [insert platform of choice].
Setting aside the validity of Geekbench (Linus Torvalds has an opinion!), this seems to be the usual pointless outcome of these penis-measuring contests: when the benchmarks favour you, benchmarks are important and crucial and the ultimate quanitification of greatness. When the benchmarks don't favour you, they are meaningless and pointless and the world's worst yardsticks of greatness. Anywhere in between, and you selectively pick and choose the benchmarks that make you look best.
I didn't refer to Apple's PowerPC days for nothing. Back then, Apple knew it was using processors with terrible performance and energy requirements, but still had to somehow convince the masses that PowerPC was better faster stronger than x86; claims which Apple itself exposed - overnight - as flat-out lies when the company switched to Intel.
When I use my Nexus 6P and iPhone 6S side-by-side, my Nexus 6P feels a lot faster, even though benchmarks supposedly say it has a crappier processor and a slower operating system. Applications and operations seem equally fast to me, but Android makes everything feel faster because it has far superior ways of dealing with and switching between multiple applications, thanks to the pervasiveness of activities and intents or the ability to set your own default applications.
Trying to quantify something as elusive and personal as user experience by crowing about the single-thread performance of the processor it runs on is like trying to buy a family car based on its top speed. My 2009 Volvo S80's 2.5L straight-5 may propel the car to a maximum speed of 230km/h, but I'm much more interested in how comfortable the seats are, all the comfort options it has, if it looks good (it does), and so on. Those are the actual things that matter, because the likelihood of ever even approaching that 230km/h is very slim, at best.
I bought an iPhone 6S and Apple Watch late last year and used them for six months because I feel that as someone who writes about every platform under the sun, I should be using them as much as (financially and practically) possible. I used the iPhone 6S as my only smartphone for six months, but after six months of fighting iOS and Apple every step of the way, every single day, I got fed up and bought the Nexus 6P on impulse.
Not once during those six months did I think to myself "if only this processor was 500Mhz faster" or "if only this thing had 4GB of RAM". No; I was thinking "why can't I set my own default applications, because Apple's are garbage" or "why is deep linking/inter-application communication non-existent, unreliable, broken, and restricted to first-party applications?" or "why is every application a visual and behavioural island with zero attention to consistency?".
iOS could be running on a quantum computer from Urbana, Illinois, and it wouldn't solve any of those problems.
The funny thing is - Gruber actually agrees with me:
I like reading/following Holwerda, because he's someone who I feel keeps me on my toes. But he's off-base here. I'm certainly not saying that CPU or GPU performance is a primary reason why anyone should buy an iPhone instead of an Android phone. In fact, I'll emphasize that if the tables were turned and it were Android phones that were registering Geekbench scores double those of the iPhone, I would still be using an iPhone. In the same way that I've been using Macs, non-stop, since I first purchased a computer in 1991. Most of the years from 1991 until the switch to Intel CPUs in 2007, the Mac was behind PCs in performance. I never argued then that performance didn't matter - only that for me, personally, the other benefits of using a Mac (the UI design of the system, the quality of the third-party apps, the build quality of the hardware, etc.) outweighed the performance penalty Macs suffered. The same would be true today if Apple's A-series chips were slower than Qualcomm's CPUs for Android.
So, he'd be buying iPhone even if the benchmark tables were turned, thereby agreeing with me that when it comes to phones, benchmarks are entirely meaningless. Nobody buys a smartphone based on processor benchmark scores; at this point in time, people mostly buy smartphones based on the smartphone they currently have (i.e., what platform they are currently using) and price.
That being said, there is one reason why benchmarks of Apple's latest mobile processors are quite interesting: Apple's inevitable upcoming laptop and desktop switchover to its own processors. OS X (or macOS or whatever) has been in maintenance mode ever since the release and success of the iPhone, and by now it's clear that Apple is going to retire OS X in favour of a souped-up iOS over the coming five years.
I know a lot of people still aren't seeing the forest through the trees on this one, but you can expect the first "iOS" MacBook within 1-2 years. I put iOS between quotation marks because that brand of iOS won't be the iOS you have on your phone today, but a more capable, expanded version of it.
It sounds wild, but the A10 looks to have the power and efficiency to handle the workload of a full PC. This coalescence of mobile and desktop PCs is driven by forces on both sides: mobile chips are getting more potent at the same time as our power needs are shrinking and our tasks become more mobile. If you think your workplace isn't changing much because there are a bunch of weathered Dell workstations sitting next to frumpy HP printers, consider just how much more work every one of your officemates is doing outside the office, on their phone. And all those grand and power-hungry x86 applications that might have kept people running macOS - Adobe's Photoshop and Lightroom being two key examples - well, they're being ported to iOS in almost their full functionality, having been incentivized by the existence of Apple's iPad Pro line, last year's harbinger for this year's performance jump.
Unlike Windows, whose x86 reliance is tied to its dominance of the lucrative PC gaming market, Apple really has very few anchors locking it down to macOS. The Cupertino company has been investing the vast majority of its development time into the mobile iOS for years now, and that shows in the different rates of progress between its two pieces of software. macOS is, in many ways, legacy software just waiting for the right moment to be deprecated. It's getting a fresh lick of paint now and then, but most of its novelties now relate to how it links back to Apple's core iOS and iPhone business.
This is where benchmarking and the performance of Apple's A10 Fusion processor do come into play, because even in the constrained environment of a smartphone, it seems to be reaching performance levels of laptop and desktop processors.
That "iOS" MacBook is closer than you think.

Microsoft has made some HUGE mistakes and (hopefully) learned a lot of lessons, but I like where they're going with Win10 Mobile and Continuum.
What I'd like to see from anybody out there (be it Apple, Linux, or MS) is a phone that acts like a regular smartphone with all the Android/iOS/WinMobile apps and then works just like a desktop with full desktop apps when docked to a monitor w. keyboard and mouse.
With regards to apps, all three platforms have the capability build in them to do this right now. By that, I mean they all allow developers to package multiple executables into the same App package. Atm, this capability seems to be only used to either target different CPU architectures and/or to write "applets"/metro-tiles/etc.
What is needed is for the OS Developers to refine the transition and APIs between smartphone mode and desktop mode and for App Developers to develop apps that run on both of those environments and their input methods.
I see that Microsoft is pushing towards that direction , although it seems to me that developers are a bit slow to follow with bigger/more complex Continuum apps.
I haven't been keeping up with what Google/Android/Linux and Apple are doing, but I have a gut feeling that they're headed in this direction, too.
Either way, they'll need developers to write them new apps! And I hope they do write new ones, instead of just doing ports of old.

My shoes feel too small. Do you have any tips or tricks to help stretch the leather?
1) Try taking the insoles out of the shoes to see if that gives you the extra space you need. Oftentimes this does the trick! You can always put the insoles back in once the leather stretches to your liking.
Our shoes should always be protected with either our Gorilla Wax or a good quality waterproof spray before they are ever worn outside. It's always a good idea to reapply the product every 4-6 months depending on where you live in the world. Another great suggestion would be to pop into your local shoe repair shop to see what products they would suggest.
No, our shoes/boots are not waterproof! They are made to be water resistant, however they should not be worn in heavy rain, slush, or snow. Leather stretches when it gets wet so they might not fit the same once they dry. In addition, the chemicals used to clean city streets can cause salt-like stains on the shoes when mixed with water.
Are your boots good for the winter?
We craft our boots to withstand the elements, but stongly recommend that our all natural Gorilla Wax waterproofing is applied liberally and frequently during cold/wet conditions. Although our boots are not insulated due to being designed with temperature versatility in mind, the leather will soften with wear to give you the comfortable option of layering with thicker socks on colder days.
My shoes/boots look like they have salt stains?
This ring is often caused by de-icing salt and cleaning chemicals used to clean the city streets when mixed with rain, water or snow. It's very important that you protect your shoes before you ever leave the house in them. The white staining is not a defect with our leather and will not be covered under our warranty. The best thing to do is take the shoes to your local shoe repair shop to see if they can give you any suggestions. A good quality leather cleaner/conditioner can often help to reduce the severity of the stains.
My shoes smell like fire/smoke?
We like to keep everything as natural as possible. Up until now, we've used a specific type of rubber called RSS rubber for the outsoles of our shoes. RSS stands for Ribbed Smoked Sheet rubber, which means the rubber is air-dried or smoked in ovens. We've now moved away from the smoked rubber and are using Thick Pale Crepe rubber, which is air-dried only. Older shoes/styles may still have the smoke smell. If the smell is too strong for you, try taking the shoes out of the box and let them get some fresh air somewhere dry (ie. garage, shed, window ledge or front step).
Because our outsoles are made using natural properties, there is no protection against harsh elements. We recommend storing your shoes in a dry place and not in direct sunight, When exposed to the sunlight for an extended period of time, it will change the colour of the outsole to a yellow tone. No need to worry about wearing the shoes out in the sun, it just happens when they are in warm sunny places for long periods of time.
Is it common for dye to transfer on clothing?
Yes, this is because dye cannot be "locked" in place -- if it becomes wet or rubs frequently, the dye will transfer onto clothing.
Any international orders placed on the US site in USD will be subject to Duties & Taxes on delivery. This will most often be referred to as "C.O.D." by the postal service. Please note that this is the cost of importing goods into your country, and it is determined by your government, not Oliberté. It is always recommended to shop from your country's site -- that way Duties & Taxes will be calculated at checkout, and you'll be paying in your own currency.

I recently completed a sculpture of Shadow the kitty that I wanted to share with everyone. I love to feature my cat projects, and this project was especially fun because it allowed me to incorporate Shadow's basket into the finished sculpture. In the image above, you can see the actual image I worked from (yes, it was really that small!) in the background with the completed sculpture in the foreground.
Some additional details can be seen in these images:
As always, if you'd like a sculpture of your beloved fur friend, contact me!

Hello readers !! Welcome to another fresh article in our blog. Most of you probably heard about cloud , right ? Well for those who are unaware about the term , cloud is generally used in the context of internet services. With cloud technology we can get various services in the form of applications like storing our data , sharing data to anyone who have access to internet and many more. Most important service of cloud is the ability to store user's data and make it available whenever the user wants. Cloud storage services have become really helpful over the years and people are excessively using this cloud platform to store their data and files. The main benefits of cloud storage are portability and reliability. Once you store your data in cloud you don't have to worry about losing your data . The cloud technology backups your data in different servers and your data becomes more safe compared to other physical storage medium.

List of Best Top Cloud Storage Services :
1 . Box

The free plan of Box service allows 10 GB of storage with an upload limit of 250 MB of file size. There are so many variants of box premium plans .

3 . Dropbox
Dropbox having 500 million user base is one of the largest and top cloud storage services available. Dropbox provides faster uploading and downloading services. But compared to other cloud services Dropbox gives 2 GB of free storage after you have registered to the site. But later on you can upgrade your storage using their premium unlimited storage plans. You may also increase your storage capacity on Dropbox by referring it to your friends or sharing in social media.
4. Mega
Mega , a cloud giant was launched in 2013 and since then they have increased their user base near to millions.

With mega's easy drag and drop feature enhance the user experience to a next level. The best part of mega is that you can get 50 GB of storage for free as soon as you sign up to the system. You can easily easily import data from others mega account to your account in minutes. To increase your account storage beyond 50 GB you can avail some paid plans also.
5. Google Drive
I think most of us already using Google drive for a long time , right ? If not you must use it. After all Google Drive is owned by the technology giant Google. One think I don't like about Google drive is their web interface. The design is good but for a slightly slow connection uploading and downloading take longer time compared to other cloud services. But whatever may be the factor we always believe Google's products as best and this is a big reason to start with Google Drive Services. Once you sign up to Google Drive you will get 15 GB of free storage.
6. FlipDrive
FlipDrive is a New York based Cloud storage company that allows you to store, access, share and backup all of your data in a secure server. Upon registration you will get free 1o GB of storage and later on with the help of premium plan you can increase the storage.

If you create an account on hubic today you will get 25 GB of storage for free. Hubic has its desktop clients with which you can easily upload and download your files.
Final thoughts :
Hopefully our list of best top cloud storage services helped you to find proper cloud storage platform to store your data. But always maintain a strong password in any cloud storage services that you use. In our world privacy is the most important thing that nobody wants to compromise. Be secure ;Store securely and enjoy the cloud storage services.

States are increasingly becoming true 'laboratories of democracy' as they experiment with new approaches to our political processes.
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2016
California Forward (CA Fwd), a California based good government organization, today announced the creation of the '50 State Solution', a collaborative, non-partisan effort designed to support the state-based political reform work being done all across the country and to encourage others to join in the cause.
"We are glad to be playing the role of a catalytic leader in helping to create this platform to support state-based political reform all across this country," said James Mayer, president and CEO of CA Fwd. "Our organization has been doing this work in California for the past decade and we are eager to help create a national learning community of like-minded organizations and individuals."
Chris Gates, a Senior Fellow at CA Fwd and the former President of the National Civic League, has played a leadership role in the development of this effort. Gates said, "The current partisan gridlock that is strangling our ability to govern in Washington makes it impossible to imagine a reform agenda emerging from our nation's capital. States are increasingly becoming true 'laboratories of democracy' as they experiment with new approaches to our political processes."
The 50 State Solution website, http://www.cafwd.org/50state, was also launched today. The highlight of the site is a 'state of the field' interactive map that summarizes political practices and major reform efforts in all fifty states plus the District of Columbia. The 'state of the field' focuses on nine aspects of democratic practice for each state: voter registration; primary system; campaign finance; disclosure; voting administration; voting tabulation; voting technology; voting participation, and redistricting.
The website includes a curated news feed of relevant journalism and a blog series that will feature the voices of leaders and activists in this field. In the future, the 'state of the field' section will include a living, crowd-sourced document, allowing the broad field of state-based political reform to keep it current and up-to-date. The site will also provide the opportunity for self-organizing around shared issues or regions.
CA Fwd will host a convening of state-based reform leaders in January of 2017 in San Francisco to talk about the current status of the field and what more can be done to support it. That convening will be co-chaired by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who was a founding co-chair of CA Fwd, and Ashley Swearengin, the Mayor of Fresno and a leading Republican in the state of California.
For more information and to get involved, please register for updates at http://www.cafwd.org/50state or contact Caitlin Maple at caitlinm(at)cafwd(dot)org.
About CA Fwd
California Forward (CA Fwd) is a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization, devoted to improving the performance of government in California. It believes that increased emphasis on accountability and transparency will create government that Californians deserve and expect. CA Fwd strongly advocates for confidence and trust in elected officials as being an essential ingredient to good government.

|Thu, 07 Dec 2006 15:07:22 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2524?page=all ] Anton Ivanov updated HARMONY-2524: ---------------------------------- Attachment: CipherSpiImplTest.java The test to reproduce the problem is in the attachement. We create a concrete cipher, that never store bytes to output and its method engineUpdate(byte[] in, int offset, int length) will always return null. So if we try to call engineUpdate(ByteBuffer in, ByteBuffer out) we will obtain NullPointerException as it is mentioned above. Output on Harmony: FAILED java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.crypto.CipherSpi.engineUpdate(CipherSpi.java:155) at CipherSpiImpl.engineUpdate(CipherSpiImplTest.java:111) at CipherSpiImplTest.main(CipherSpiImplTest.java:33) Output on RI: PASSED total number of bytes stored to out:0 > javax.crypto.CipherSpi.engineUpdate(ByteBuffer in, ByteBuffer out) method throws NullPointerException on correct input > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HARMONY-2524 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2524 > Project: Harmony > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Classlib > Reporter: Anton Ivanov > Attachments: CipherSpiImplTest.java > > > The problem is as follows: > An underlying cipher can be a blocked cipher. So an input data may be too short to result in a block after encryption/decryption done > (method javax.crypto.CipherSpi.engineUpdate(byte[] in, int offset, int length) will return null in such a case). > If we call javax.crypto.CipherSpi.engineUpdate(ByteBuffer in, ByteBuffer out) method where in parameter is such a short block we will > obtain a NullPointerException. While according to the specification we have to only return 0 (total number of bytes stored in output) > and have not to throw NullPointerException. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Rachel's Treehouse Studio is almost done..... i think. I still haven't gotten to the point where I can work in here though. It's wierd... i just want to sit in here and appreciate it. Of course there is still a ton of stuff i need to sort through and some of it will go into storage and some will remain out to be worked on....and of course it is all happening just as the seasons are about to change, which means i need to shift gears on things i am making for sale.... gotta get the fabrics and cotton yarns out......... Somehow I will find the balance point.... summer is usually when I work on my winter items and vice-versa.... this did not occur during this past winter. I was working on winter stuff during winter....ugh ... and now i am trying to do both.
The dining room and kitchen look incredible. The floor is beautiful.... it feels like it has been forever since any part of the house has been neat.

Barcelona Test Report, 1 March 2017
Sahara Force India test driver, Alfonso Celis, had a solid day behind the wheel of the VJM10 as the team continued its development plan ahead of the new season.
Chassis: VJM10-02
Laps: 71 laps
Mileage: 331km
Best lap: 1:23.568 (P12)
Alfonso Celis: "It was a busy day in which we managed to complete nearly everything in our plan. These cars are completely different and I enjoyed my first experience of the new regulations – you can really feel the step up in performance. It took me a bit of time to get used to the car and the conditions, and the track had very low grip early on. I did a lot of aero passes in the morning and then we focussed on understanding the tyres in the afternoon. The most important objective of the day was to give the team as much data as possible so these 71 laps will hopefully be very useful for better understanding this car."
Tom McCullough, Chief Race Engineer: "Another solid day of work in Barcelona as Alfonso drove the VJM10 for the first time. Track temperatures were very low for the first couple of hours so we focussed on an aero mapping with various instruments fitted to the side of the car. We made a floor change during the lunch hour and worked through a set-up programme in the afternoon. Alfonso ran on several different tyre compounds - ultrasoft, supersoft and soft – giving us feedback and data on the new 2017 tyres."

Lars & the Real Girl: Spoiler Alert!
Posted on Thursday, May 14, 2009
I'm on a movie kick lately--a cheap movie kick. I bought Leonard Maltin's 2009 Movie Guide (which I believe Hope bought and annotated every year, bless her) and it includes a list of 50 Movies You May Have Missed (overlooked movies, in other words). I don't know if I've shared this factoid with you, but there is nothing that gives me more satisfaction than putting check marks to the items on a list. Back in the O'dark Ages, Hope and I worked our way through Alfred Hitchcock's movies on the strength of this motivation. Today, I'm getting Leonard's picks through the library and making my slow way through.
Tonight it was "Lars and the Real Girl." I found myself crying at the funeral scene for the doll. If that's not the height of sappiness, I don't know what is. But it struck me as belonging to a category of movies where a town is featured, not as a setting really, but as a character. "Our Town" would be the seminal example of this category probably. Can you name any other movies that would appear on such a list? Because I'm liking my list these days.
