Two weeks ago I went with Kinsale Guides to Leigh Dale Cottage, Ballincollig, Cork, for the weekend.
It's a cute little cottage that has lots of vintage-looking furniture. The cottage is up the road from a few shops, which we jogged to on previous camps. It's in a rural area on the way to Blarney with lots of greenery around it.
This was very different to other weekends I'd gone on as there was a very small group of us (only 12 in comparison to about 20 on other
camps) and we largely stayed indoors whereas we would usually go on hikes and cook outside. There was a big age range - from 10 to 17 (including Senior Branchers).
This was my first camp as a Patrol Leader, which meant I was responsible for making sure all our jobs were completed sufficiently and that everyone in my Patrol was happy. It was a
very relaxing weekend full of arts and crafts. I really enjoyed it because I felt I got to know people really well over the weekend as there was such a small group.
When we arrived on Friday we had a junk fashion show - in our patrols we made very trendy outfits from recyclables. We made all sorts of clothes out of newspapers, cardboard boxes, straws and milk cartons. The
model in my patrol even had a unicorn horn! It was really good fun and you'd be surprised what you can make out of so called rubbish. We also made some very sparkly snowflakes from toilet roll - some of them were so fancy and detailed, they looked like we had bought them!
On the Saturday morning we did a
really cool activity where we filled out a survey about our current likes and dislikes, hobbies etc. When we finished writing, we put our surveys in an envelope not to be opened for five years. On the outside of the envelope we each wrote nice comments about each other. I really enjoyed this activity because everyone had such nice things to say about each other
and I can't wait to open it when I'm 18 to see what I used to be like!
On Saturday night we had an indoor campfire as it was too rainy to do it outside. We had a very cool fire made of candles in the middle of our circle. We sang songs that the Senior Branchers had learned on a previous camp. At the beginning of our campfire we enrolled two of our younger
Guides, which made it even better.
I really enjoyed this sort of camp, it was a lovely break from all the busyness that usually occurs at cottage. Our camps are usually very active and based outdoors. On our last visit to the cottage we went for a jog, cooked outdoors, had outdoor campfires, outdoor enrolments and did a lot more work and, obviously, on this one we hung out and did crafts.
Lots of the older girls had had exams during the week so it was lovely to have this break afterwards.
The food at the cottage was also different this year as the Patrol Leaders helped plan the menu. We abolished the traditional Guide stir fry and replaced it with pasta bolognese, which went down a treat! Not that we don't like stir fry but we thought it was time for a change! For dessert on Saturday we had chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and marshmallows, which we all adored!
I loved the Christmas and mindfulness theme of the weekend. I'd never been to cottage in the winter before. I hope we do this type of camp again because I think we all loved it!
Thank you so much to the Leaders who helped organise it and who put up with us for the whole weekend! This has been one of the best camps so far!

WEST WHITELAND >> Like the proverbial pot one waits on to boil, it seemed to take an unexpectedly long time for the Whole Foods store in Exton to open.
The wait is just about over now, though.
On Thursday, shoppers are expected to gather at the store that is the newest attraction to Exton Square Mall. Festivities will begin in the store parking lot at 8 a.m. with a DJ providing tunes and with hot chocolate, coffee and gift cards available to those gathering before the official 9 a.m. opening.
If it seems years ago the trendy, upscale grocery store chain announced its intentions to move to the site of what had been a Kmart on Route 100 just north of Route 30, well, that's because it is. In July 2015, Whole Foods announced the plans (stores have since opened in Center City Philadelphia and in Wynnewood on the Delaware County/Montgomery County border).
And, of course, the company has become part of Amazon.com between the announcement and the opening.
"Everyone is just really excited for us to be open," said Alison Marcantuno, store team leader who has worked at Whole Foods for 14 years. "They know it from when they've traveled (and perhaps from the Glen Mills and Devon locations) but now it's here for them. I've heard from a lot of them – when are you going to open."
Rachael Dean Wilson, a spokeswoman for Whole Foods, said the sale of the chain to Amazon did not cause the delay, but she couldn't give specifics about what did.
"I would just say each store is different and each project has its own set of challenges," Wilson said. "One thing you will notice about our stores is each one is different to reflect the community it serves."
Whole Foods is currently building stores in Newtown Square and in Spring House, Montgomery County, which do not yet have opening dates.
The Exton store, at 50,000 square feet, will be a bit larger than the typical Whole Foods, and includes a 4,000-square-foot rooftop deck for outdoor dining. The store's normal operating hours will be from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
A rundown of the features:
• Pike's, an in-store venue with a retro diner ambiance, serving tortas and tacos as well as beer, wine and a selection of mezcal and tequila.
• More than 100 local supplier products ranging from seasonal produce to local pork and chicken and a selection of ceramics, jewelry and gifts.
• A large cheese department featuring exclusive local cheeses from Yellow Springs Dairy in Chester Springs, as well as a national and international selection of sheep, goat and cow's milk offerings.
• Full-service meat and seafood departments featuring Global Animal Partnership 5 Step Animal Welfare-rated meat and sustainable seafood staffed by expert meat cutters and fishmongers.
• Made in-house specialties including: hand-tossed pizza, corn & flour tortillas and tortilla chips made with local Castle Valley Mill grains, and a selection of dips such as rutabaga, collard green, and guacamole.
• A children's play area.
The Whole Foods in Exton will employ around 180 and is still in the process of hiring, Wilson said.
The store does have an Amazon connection, with Amazon lockers available for shoppers who want to return something to the online retailer or who don't want delivered packages sitting on their doorsteps.
Also: "There's been a couple of rounds of price drops" since Amazon took over in August, Wilson said.
Hundreds of workers were busy Tuesday preparing for Thursday's opening. One of those preparing product was Mike Mastrocola, whose Mastrocola's Famous Philly Roast Pork is available in seven Whole Foods as well as delis in Philadelphia's suburbs.
"They're great to work with," Mastrocola said. "We've been working with Whole Foods since 2016 and they've really helped us build out our fan base."

There was a mermaid found at the beach of Kilauea Falls in Hawaii. Unfortunately they both passed away when they found them.
These pictures are pretty shocking and look very unrealistic, but we are certainly not sure if the pictures of the mermaids or fake or not. We honestly haven't got a clue what to say about these pictures.
It is also completely up to you to judge of every single picture. The first discovery of a mermaid was in Greenland and after that they were found in many different locations.
In the slideshow below you will see different pictures of the mermaid, for example:
– A close up of the mermaid
– Her back and side
– The lower body
– The upper body
– A very good closeup of the entire "body"
– A closeup of the mermaid when she still was alive
– One that was found in Egypt
– And the skeleton

We cook good, honest, flavourful food that is British at its heart. There may occasionally be influences from other modern European cooking styles but we will seek to source British produce and prepare the dish in a British style where possible. We love taking advantage of rarer cuts of meat & cooking them low and slow in just the right way to enrich the meats with flavour.
We pride ourselves in offering seasonal dishes that are locally sourced where possible and work closely with Stickleback fish suppliers in Welham Green to ensure we have the pick of the market as soon as the boats come in. We home smoke our own salmon and we source our pork from Dingley Dell farm which has a superb reputation for producing the highest quality meat.

120th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division
Sarna News
|120th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division
|Unit Profile (as of 2764)
|Lightning Strike[1]
|Parent Formation
|XVIII Corps
The 120th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. It was one of the SLDF's Royal units, which consisted of troops from the Terran Hegemony.
In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XVIII Corps, Ninth Army, to District 2 of the Free Worlds League Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery to take part in the Periphery Uprising by 2765.[2]. The 120th survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[2]
The commanding officer in 2764 was Major General Monte Deases.[1]
The Mechanised Infantry Divisions of the Star League were used offensively to exploit gaps in the enemy front created by the BattleMech Divisions. They also bore the brunt of defensive actions.
Composition History[edit]
The Division comprised two Brigades of Mechanised Infantry and a single BattleMech Brigade. Also attached was a Ground Aero Wing.[3]

LTE coverage bragging rights are usually a numbers game, and with the rollout of fast 4G in 14 new markets, AT&T has brought its total numbers up to 175.
Alphabetically, the new markets are:
- Beaumont, Texas
- Binghamton, N.Y.
- Carbondale-Marion, Ill.
- Fort Pierce, Fla.
- Fort Smith, Ark.
- Fresno, Calif.
- Houma, La.
- Jefferson City, Mo.
- Lakeland-Winter Haven, Fla.
- Las Cruces, N.M.
- Montgomery, Ala.
- Mount Vernon, Wash.
- Palm Coast, Fla.
- Temple-Killeen, Texas
Verizon, meanwhile, covers 486 markets with 4G LTE.
In terms of absolute population coverage, AT&T expects to supply fast 4G to 250 million people by the end of 2013 and 300 million by the end of 2014. In comparison, Verizon already covers 273 million.
As important as they are, LTE coverage isn't purely about numbers, however. Third-party network tester Root Metric recently lauded AT&T for its faster LTE speeds than its arch-rival, and the company has shared details about how it invests in local infrastructure, such as San Francisco, to deliver an amped-up user experience.
Market numbers aside, the battle for LTE supremacy is still alive and well between Big Red and Ma Bell, with Sprint and now T-Mobile still struggling to catch up.

(AP) Brady nearly perfect in Pats' 25-21 win over Bucs
By HOWARD ULMAN
AP Sports Writer
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Tom Brady completed pass after pass, 11 in a row to start the game.
So much for his injured left knee.
Two days after spraining it, the New England star was perfect before throwing an incompletion on his last pass in the Patriots' 25-21 exhibition victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night.
He also threw his first touchdown to new top wide receiver Danny Amendola on his first series and left after the second.
Brady, who bypassed waiting reporters after Thursday's joint walkthrough with the Buccaneers (0-2), did it again after his outstanding performance. He left the locker room quickly without holding his usual postgame news conference and the team offered no explanation.
An MRI on his left knee had been negative and he participated fully in the walkthrough.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick shrugged off an opportunity to make his first comments about his reaction to the play Wednesday when left tackle Nate Solder fell back into Brady, knocking him to the ground, after being shoved by defensive end Adrian Clayborn.
Brady's nearly perfect performance for the Patriots (2-0) proved that.
Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman also started and worked two possessions but had a much rougher time against the team they'll face in the third game of the regular season. He was sacked three times and completed only two of three passes before rookie Mike Glennon took over.
Amendola, signed as a free agent from St. Louis, caught six passes for 71 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown on the game's first series. Brady completed all eight of his passes for 72 yards, even adding a 2-point conversion pass to rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld after Amendola's touchdown.
Then Brady connected on his first three throws on his next possession, reaching 107 yards passing for the night, before missing Amendola on third-and-7.
Brady has played four series in two games, starting with a 31-22 win over Philadelphia, and completed 18 of 20 passes for 172 yards.
Ryan Mallett replaced him and threw a 22-yard touchdown to Sudfeld, a free agent having an outstanding training camp. With Rob Gronkowski sidelined after offseason back surgery and Aaron Hernandez jailed on a murder charge, Sudfeld has an inside track on a roster spot.
Mallett completed 12 of 20 passes for 137 yards against the club that allowed the most yards passing in the NFL last season then gave way to Tim Tebow on the Patriots first series of the third quarter. Tebow continued to struggle, completing one of seven passes for minus-1 yard and an interception.
Tebow also ran six times for 30 yards.
Freeman was under pressure from the start eight days after playing well in a 44-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
He was sacked by Brandon Spikes on Tampa Bay's first offensive play, then by Chandler Jones and Spikes on the second series. Eight plays for Freeman, three of them sacks.
The Patriots waited until Glennon's third play to sack him when Rob Ninkovich tackled him for a 6-yard loss. But on the Bucs' next series, the third-round draft pick from North Carolina State threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Ogletree as they cut the lead to 11-7. Glennon completed 12 of 22 passes for 121 yards and threw another touchdown pass, 1-yard to David Douglas.
New England's defense made another big play against Glennon when rookie Logan Ryan returned an interception 53 yards for a touchdown with 8:47 left in the third quarter.
With New England up 25-18, Tebow's overthrown pass was intercepted by Mason Robinson. The Bucs scored on Derek Dimke's second field goal, a 23-yarder.
NOTES: Among the Bucs recovering from injuries who didn't play were cornerback Darrelle Revis, placekicker Lawrence Tynes and offensive guard Carl Nicks. … Patriots defensive backs Devin McCourty and Alfonzo Dennard also sat out as they come back from injuries. … Gostkowski put the Patriots ahead 11-0 with a 39-yard field goal but missed a 50-yarder after two penalties pushed the Patriots back 15 yards.

As promised it's here!
I've been waiting for someone to take what I made and remix it, but since no one did it I decided to do it myself.
Since the new year was coming I decided to pick up Winter!
This is my gift for everyone! Enjoy!
Happy new year, happy holidays and thanks! :D

Actress Ellen Barkin started a fire on Twitter over the weekend when she blasted a Utah TV station decision not to air NBC's upcoming comedy "The New Normal," about a gay couple who adopts a baby.
"Shame on u @kslcom," read the first in a series of angry tweets, for "not airing @NBCTheNewNormal.
"So L&O SVU (rape & child murder) is ok? But loving gay couple having a baby is inappropriate?," it read.
KSL is the NBC station in Salt Lake City that said last Friday it was dropping the new show from its primetime schedule.
"After viewing the pilot episode of 'The New Normal,' we have made the decision to keep it off our fall schedule," the station said in a prepared statement.
The outspoken actress started a wave of protest with the hashtag #KSLBigots for a series of tweets that ended with Barkin urging protesters in Utah to "please clog up @ksl5tv feed 4 their blatantly [homophobic] decision 2 not air the show."
In the series, a gay couple in LA enlists a surrogate mother — who already has an 8-year-old daughter — to have a baby for them. The two families become enmeshed in the process.
Barkin plays the surrogate mom's buttinsky mother in the series.

The Reader's Digest Great Encyclopedia Dictionary provides seven possible definitions of the word: rhetoric. I picked number four: "…Affected and exaggerated display in the use of language." I did this with intent as do those who overstate their stance on what ultimately affects We the People. Of course, I know the nature of rhetoric is to affect the minds of the listener but more than that—to sway We the People to segregate.
Rhetoric built every society on Earth and—if you eavesdropped in history class—it likewise destroyed sovereignty (independence).
Rhetoric also means the art of discourse—at home; at school; in church; laws; with neighbors; the Constitution; etc.—all seemingly in the clear. Well, until affected by an exaggerated display in the use of language that pigeonhole…We the People.

Industrial drives have developed to the point where they are seen as commodity items, but continued technology advances are bringing in new functions and capabilities for improving productivity in a digital age.
Traditionally, the primary uses of industrial drives have been in controlling the speed of equipment such as pumps, fans, and conveyors, but although they continue to be used in these applications, today's end-users have a different approach from that of a decade ago.The drives industry is now mature and drives are widely accepted as a product. This shift in attitude brings with it the assumption that drives are simple to buy, install, start up, commission, own and run.
At the same time, drives are finding new applications, such as in exercise machines, pizza ovens, honey centrifuges and car washes. They are seen as commodity items and users are demanding simplicity.
The impression is that advances in drive technology are no longer happening at the rate that they did in the early years. But in fact, according to Robert Brooks, industry marketing manager for food and beverage at Omron Europe, the last 20 years have seen dramatic changes in the world of drives. The functionality and capabilities of the modern product were almost unimaginable back then, and the increased performance has transformed machine design. "The modern drive is a much more intelligent part of the machine or process than it was two decades ago," says Brooks. "With this greater intelligence, it can deliver real benefits for boosting machine performance and availability, and is a key enabler for continuous improvement on the line."
At the same time, the features and functions built into even the humblest of drives products are contributing to increases in machine availability and overall plant floor efficiency. Programming can be carried out using a standard control panel. No special hardware or software programming tools are needed. As a result, programming takes only a few minutes and can be carried out on site, during commissioning.
Drives have become smaller, more capable, easier to use, and cheaper by orders of magnitude. In fact, there has been a tenfold decrease in the size of drives over the past 10 years.
Smaller drives are easier to install. Panel builders are able to fit more drives into a standard cubicle, enabling panels to be smaller. This allows the use of smaller and less costly control rooms. Drives are easier to fit into machines - a classic example of this is cranes, an application that has always had limited space for drives.
Reductions in drive size have come about through the use of fewer components, greater packing density, improvements in semiconductor technology, and improved cooling techniques.
Reducing component counts in drives naturally leads to reduced costs. Ilpo Ruohonen of ABB in Finland predicts that the parts count of drives will be reduced further by around 20 per cent over the next few years through integrated electronics to eliminate separate components, such as external-flash and random-access memories, and analogue/digital converters. Mechanical parts are also being integrated, for example, by combining frames and enclosures, allowing them to perform multiple functions. Fewer parts mean fewer interfaces and mechanical fixings, which are often a source of failures.
"Advances in the development of power semiconductors have also helped to improve drives," says Ruohonen. "A reduction in power losses per unit area of silicon used means that the same silicon area is able to handle more power. This has enabled the construction of smaller semiconductors and reduced the need for cooling within drives. This, in turn, allows the use of smaller heat sinks and reduced air volumes inside drives, resulting in smaller units. The only limitations are the terminals, because these must accommodate cables that are large enough to carry sufficient current to a drive."
In addition, considerable research and development effort is being put into new cooling techniques, as well as reducing the need for cooling. While air cooling is likely to remain the dominant technique, liquid cooling is finding increasing use in areas such as wind power, transportation, and marine applications.
Increasing functionality
Thanks to developments in software, these ever-shrinking drives contain ever-expanding functionality. The speed with which a machine can be up and running after the installation of new equipment or a maintenance shutdown is paramount. Such urgency increases the risk of errors in installation and commissioning. These can be overcome by eliminating manual intervention whenever possible.
While setup is performed entirely using software functions, with uploads and downloads to and from drives, today's software monitors, diagnoses, configures and archives information and parameters concerning drives in industrial plants. Setup information is stored for future retrieval. Intelligent control panels that will significantly decrease the need for paper-based manuals are in development.
A key feature of the modern drive is the information it generates - from life-monitoring data of its own internal components, to diagnostics data that can reveal problems developing elsewhere in the machine. A very simple example would be the monitoring of current to the motor. The ability of the network to handle all of this data in real time enables preventive maintenance to be carried out before a critical failure, or any required component replacements to be made during the next scheduled maintenance period, thereby minimising unscheduled downtime and maximising machine availability. This data can also form the basis of ongoing trend analysis, helping in continuous improvement of the entire production line.
The information technology research and advisory firm Gartner points out that the worlds of IT and operational technology (OT) are converging, and says IT leaders must manage their transition to converging, aligning and integrating the two environments. The benefits will include optimised business processes, enhanced information for better decisions, reduced costs, lower risks and shortened project timelines.
"The relationship between the IT and OT groups needs to be managed better, but more importantly, the nature of the OT systems is changing, so that the underlying technology - such as platforms, software, security and communications - is becoming more like IT systems," said Kristian Steenstrup, research vice president and Gartner fellow. "This gives a stronger justification for IT groups to contribute to OT software management, creating an alignment that could be in the form of standards, enterprise architecture (EA), support and security models, software configuration practices, and information and process integration."
This process of convergence is happening in many industries, including healthcare, transport, defence, energy, aviation, manufacturing, engineering, mining, oil and gas, natural resources and utilities.
"A shared set of standards and platforms across IT and OT will reduce costs in many areas of software management, and reduced risks come from reducing malware intrusion and internal errors," Steenstrup says. "Cybersecurity can be enhanced if IT security teams are shared, seconded or combined with OT staff to plan and implement holistic IT-OT security."
Dan Rossek, marketing manager for Omron agrees: "The increased use of sensors attached to automation equipment and the sharing of information on a massive scale are the cornerstone of Industry 4.0, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Under Industry 4.0 it is hypothesised that production lines will reconfigure automatically in order to optimise productivity, reduce changeover times and accommodate wide product variations. Driven from an end-to-end array of technologies and software systems, ranging from sales acquisition, order processing, supply-chain management, logistics and production management, it is clear that future production machinery and components will need to integrate dynamically and seamlessly into higher-level IT systems."
Industrial Internet of Things
The IIoT is, at present, more a concept than a reality, though this is starting to change. Despite its current low level of implementation, it is already shaping future developments in industrial AC drive technology. But before the IIoT can achieve its full potential - and, indeed, even before its full potential can actually be defined - there are some significant challenges that have to be addressed.
According to Jake Roeder, global product marketing manager at Danfoss, the first is security. It is simply not possible to discuss the IIoT without having security as the lead topic. Allowing automation devices to access the Internet is, without doubt, a daunting prospect, he says, and there have been enough examples of what happens when security is breached for everyone to realise that granting this connectivity is not a step that can be taken lightly.
Security after the fact - when it has to be retro-engineered into products that were not initially intended to be part of an interconnected world - is particularly difficult to achieve. This means that it is essential to consider security from the outset when new generations of devices are being developed.
Another crucial challenge associated with the IIoT is dealing with the potential flood of data that can be gathered from devices like AC drives. This data is not inherently useful, so the first question to ask is: which data is good data? The second is how can this good data be used to produce a meaningful outcome?
Among the almost limitless opportunities opened up by the IIoT, the one most frequently mentioned is enhanced service support. At present, service support is too often seen as a safety net, and much of the information relating to commonly encountered warnings, alarms and faults, simply isn't reported. These events aren't necessarily ignored, but if, for example, a fault condition is automatically reset, who will ever get to know about it?
This lack of reporting is a missed opportunity, as some of these events are likely to indicate potential for a product improvement, yet may be only detectable by looking at thousands of drives over many years of operation. By using the automatic fault reporting that the IIoT makes possible, drives manufacturers will be able to paint a far clearer and more comprehensive picture of the complete life cycle of their drives, which they can then use to achieve continuous product improvement.
Unlike many elements of the Industry 4.0 concept which are currently based on futuristic and unrealised technologies, integrated sensor systems with an advanced intelligent link already exist today. Essentially integrated sensor solutions that incorporate a Fieldbus interface are readily available, providing all the functionality needed to realise the demands of a fully integrated production system.
Even so, Rossek says sensor systems will require a number of enabling technologies to provide the functionality needed to realise the demands of an 'Industry 4.0-ready' machine. The passive on/off operational functionality of standard sensors will not be enough to support the required level of integration.
Automating sensor resets
Taking the simplified example of automating a product changeover process on a machine, this could be vastly improved through the use of intelligent and integrated sensor systems. Traditionally, sensors are configured individually and manually during machine changeover processes based on the requirements of the product being manufactured; potentially this could be due to a change in colour, size or any other physical difference in the product. This can be time-consuming, inefficient and a source for manual errors.
Using the Industry 4.0 concept, the process could be fully automated, from point of order and production scheduling through to machine configuration down to component level, and even including sensor systems. Intelligent control systems will automatically set detection parameters and settings to allow seamless product changeovers, improving efficiency and eliminating common manual errors.
In addition, with increased levels of integration of sensor systems, the operational status and stability of a sensor could be communicated back to the machine control system, via the intelligent link. By monitoring this status, automatic optimisation of a sensor could be made, therefore improving production efficiency even further. The intelligent link could also provide fault diagnostics and preventive maintenance information, helping to reduce machine downtime and again improve production efficiency.
If UK manufacturers were to invest as much in Industry 4.0 as their German counterparts, they could boost their revenues by £20bn. Steve Bramley, deputy director of the trade association Gambica, argues that it is essential for the UK not to be left behind by the fourth industrial revolution.
"There is the potential for Industry 4.0 to bring transformation to the manufacturing industry, an opportunity - and, I would argue, a necessity - for the UK to take a lead and secure an advantage in the next wave of technology development and business models," Bramley says. "The potential for boosting manufacturing productivity and the associated economic benefit is not only highly desirable, but is essential in a competitive global manufacturing environment. The risk of not taking up the challenge and being left behind is a fate we can't afford to allow."
A recent European Commission report indicated that the German government will invest €200m in Industry 4.0 projects across skills and innovation. According to a PwC report, German industry will invest €40bn per year by 2020 specifically in Industry 4.0, representing 3.3 per cent of turnover, and expects a 12.5 per cent increase in revenues.
"Germany's manufacturing industry is about three times larger than ours, but they already invest seven times more in automation than British industry," Bramley adds. "If we followed the same proactive strategy of industry investing in Industry 4.0, a 12.5 per cent increase in revenue would be equivalent to £20bn. This would have a very positive impact on manufacturing, the supply chain, associated services and employment - an opportunity we should not miss." *

A telephone long distance call is defined as a call that goes beyond the boundaries set with the area codes. Each country has a country code, Canada country code is +1 (North American Numbering Plan) a city may have one or several area codes. Typically the tariff rate increased accordingly with the distance, and when dealing with international calling one has to factor the rates telecom operators charge amongst them for connecting calls. In the past one had to call and ask for an operator to make a long distance call, even if you were in the same geographical area. Fast-forward to the late 90's early 2000's the use of long distance calling cards had become widely popular due to nearly prohibitive international rates from major telecom operators. VoIP today enables making and receiving international long distance calls easier and cheaper than ever before. VoIP allows having additional numbers, even international numbers regardless of location these can be forwarded to your main residence or business number or simply act as an additional number thus making long distance calling simple and fundamentally; the expense is an after-thought since it has become very affordable to call internationally.

The crushing of skulls on a gorgeous summer evening in 2002 awakened Chicago to a travesty this city long had tolerated. The deaths of two defenseless men--they were beaten with masonry and fists by a mob of bystanders after their van struck three young women--shocked America. The vigilante executions of Jack Moore, 62, and Anthony Stuckey, 49, accomplished something that more than 600 homicides a year, for 34 straight years, had not: Those two murders embarrassed Chicago.
In a series of 2002 editorials, "The Chicago crime," this page framed the nonchalance of a metropolis to its ritual massacre:

My ADF membership is up next month. I'm going on eight years of membership with the organization known as Ár nDraíocht Féin, but I'm not a joiner by nature and when confronted with the request to update my membership I pause and reflect.
Have I grown as a religious person because of membership?
The short answer is yes. I have been challenged by the organization and I think I may have challenged it along the way. My practice is more focused and deeper because of my stay with the 'Druid' organization. I am more pious, more devoted, and more fruitful in my practice.
Is ADF an organization that does good?
If I'm a member of something I damn well feel that the org should be good. And I mean that in every aspect…It must be good for the membership as a whole and it must be good for the person. More importantly it must be good for the religious community and not just the 'Pagan' one.
I have found ADF to be overall good. There are always those who rock the boat, who place self above the whole, and who may seek ambition in spite of the general good…but overall my experience with ADF has been positive, and I do believe that its members seek the highest good and progress for others.
Have I learned?
Yes. I completed the Dedicant Program a few years into my membership. In my mind the DP is one of the best learning programs in the 'Pagan' sphere of education. ADF does not seek to bolster it's own hypothesis of what 'Paganism" should be, instead it presents courses that require academic and scholarly brashness. Certainly there is a bit of ADF attitude involved in the programs – it's liturgy is somewhat specialized, but it is also an example of the academic evolution one sees in the organization. The honesty of the training and the work involved in accomplishing ADF's offered courses is stellar and comparable in my mind to college level research and course work.
My plan was and still is to continue my studies with ADF – moving toward clergy or initiate status when time permits.
ADF holds the ideal of openness in ritual and grove conduct. This allows for gatherings of friends and strangers alike. Like our 'Pagan' ancestors ritual is open and calls the people of a community to worship and renew bonds between people, the land, their gods, and ancestors. In this case ADF excels in bringing people together and also therefore in respecting the fellowship and differences that can be highlighted by such ventures.
The rites I first led were ADF inspired within a small grove, in fact some of the largest rites I've attended were ADF rites under a blue sky in the light of mid-day. I was proud to be a 'Pagan' in those rites, and I still am because of ADF's need to serve the community in the open, not arrogantly displaying their faith but honorably devoted to ancient truths and wisdom once again explored and acknowledged.
Yes or No?
In the end I will rejoin. Though I don't call myself a Druid, ADF is more about honestly looking toward the Indo-European mindset and practice. It is not beholden to it however, and the organization does allow for the wisdom that modernity has given to humanity. I think it does good, and I think there is more to learn within the organization that perhaps I would not learn outside of it.

DRAMA CLUB RECAP: Tomorrow's Cantabile Episode 4
Welcome, Majors. Challenges have been issued, emotions are tested and friendships are forged in our lesson four of Tomorrow's Cantabile. Join Wendilynn, Firnlambe and Cici as we discuss how our favorite musicians handle the new slew of ups and downs that life just keeps tossing their way.
Watch episode 4:
Cici: Talk about ups and downs. Just when I think Yoo Jin is finally getting the idea about teamwork and all, he blows it. Then he gets it. Then he blows it again. Whew! I'm getting whiplash! I was so hopeful when this episode opened with Yoo Jin's new sensitivity, and his realization of one of the basic requirements of a good conductor.
Wendilynn: He's got as much growth to do as his fledgling orchestra. they really have to grow together.
Cici: I think the hardest task they face is developing confidence in each other. That, and simple kindness.
Firnlambe: As well as trust, our S Orchestra has absolutely no trust in Yoo Jin . . . And vice versa.
Cici: Well, at least Rak realizes that everyone got better grades after working under Yoo Jin's direction. His support was sort of the turning point for the orchestra. Without him, everyone would have just quit.
Wendilynn: Getting good grades does help one see results. I like that this episode showed how Yoo Jin was learning to care about his people. He gave lessons, he helped find jobs, he cooked, let them crash at his house and bug him. lol He's come a long way already.
Cici: I loved how even when he was going out of his way to cook for her, Nae Il chided him when his cooking was not quite up to her expectations. Sometimes their banter is like that of an old married couple
Cici: So just when I think he's turning into a really nice guy, he pulls a stunt like this:
Cici: That expression on Mini Min Hee's face almost broke my heart.
Firnlambe: He only did that because he honestly knew what she wanted/needed, even when she didn't know it herself. Plus I loved the knowing grin Nae il gave Yoo Jin after she found our contrabass had mysteriously acquired a tutoring job and the sheepish look he gave her once when he saw said look.
Wendilynn: We saw a lot of shared smiles between these two in this episode. Even though Yoo Jin's mom doesn't know that Nae il is the "duet player" her son played with, even she could tell that Nae il was an item with someone. They were really a pair. HOWEVER… does anyone else feel that Nae il is a "if you give a mouse a cookie" sort of girl?
Cici: Absolutely, LOL. Every time Yoo Jin does the slightest thing to encourage her, she runs away with it. So much enthusiasm in such a tiny body! She simply can't contain it all, and it spills over everywhere.
Firnlambe: That's bound to get her into some seriously troubling situations in the near future though lol
Cici: Yeah, it's pretty obvious that she'll be the one saying "Let's go!" and Yoo Jin will be the one trying to put on the brakes. At least, that's their relationship right now. I wonder how long it will take for that to change?
Firnlambe: I give it 3 more episodes . . .
Wendilynn and Cici: LOL!! You're on.
Wendilynn: I want to talk about our Concertmaster a little bit. I loved the face off he had with the A orchestra's concertmaster. Their little violin play off with Dad narrating was really awesome. I also didn't feel like the directing exposed the simulated playing.
Cici: I was watching that pretty closely and they focused on an actual violinist's hands just enough to make it seem pretty real. Rak has gotten better, too--his vibrato is more realistic. His simulated playing was actually better than Si Won's
Firnlambe: //pouts// Pretty sure I'm NEVER going to get over the sadness I feel that Henry wasn't cast for this role . . . I was pretty dead set on him from my internal casting session lol
Cici: I'm with you on that one, but I'm not sure he could have been very convincing as a bad violinist at the beginning of the drama.
Wendilynn: I can honestly say that while I had reservations about him, he has owned this character in a way that puts me at ease.
Cici: He's growing on me. Sorry, Firnlambe, I guess we'll never know what might have been…
Firnlambe: Don't get me wrong . . . . I like Go Kyung Po as our Concertmaster, I really do. And I'm really looking forward to seeing certain plot points from him, BUT an E.L.F can dream can't she?
Cici: SPOILERS!!!! But I am curious--is he going to fall for Nae Il as more than just a friend? Can you tell me that much?
Wendilynn: Don't worry Cici, Nae il only claims one heart. Rak's heart belongs to another.
Cici: The rival concertmaster, Si Won!!! Right?
Wendilynn: Well...do you really want to know what the story says? Or would you rather be surprised?
Firnlambe: REVEAL NOTHING!!!!!
Cici: OK, I'll play by my own rules. No spoilers. But if I'm right, I get to say I told you so.
Wendilynn: I wouldn't dream of denying you. lol The other plot point I want to mention is that we got more insight into what our Maestro may be up to. Did anyone else find our Dean's conversation with Mom illuminating?
Cici: It's always fascinating when you find out that a character has an unexpected back story. I still want to know why she gave up playing the piano, and what her real relationship is to Stresemann.
Firnlambe: I'm having a hard time accepting this Dean.
Wendilynn: They are keeping her an enigma. She apparently has an interest in Yoo Jin and has known him long enough to be proud of the changes occurring in him. And we still have no idea what she said to Milch when she convinced him to come to her school. What motivated him to make this second orchestra. And why he has played Yoo Jin in such a way as to have him end up the conductor. Because make no mistake…that was clearly deliberate.
Cici: Yeah, Stresemann is either a master manipulator or a great teacher...maybe you have to be one to be the other. He certainly knows how to get the desired reaction from his students, all while making them think that it was their idea. Kind of like some women I know, lol.
Firnlambe: I'm henceforth pegging him as "Teacher Stressmann: Master of the Lost Manipulation Arts"
Wendilynn: Well, he certainly seems to know how to get these kids, who have almost given up in a system bent on telling them they are no good, to learn how to fight for their dreams.
Cici: Wait...is this Dream High?
Wendilynn: Well we do have two actors from that show in this one. Honey Badger is almost playing the same character…..almost.
Cici: True, but I think I'll like him better this time around. Even with his streaks. I must be getting used to them, lol.
Wendilynn: I find it HIGHLY amusing that our Contrabass player, played by Min Do Hee, is playing another food obsessed character like she is already playing in Boarding House 24.
Cici: Type casting?
Wendilynn: Maybe she's just really good at looking hungry? lol Those idols don't get to eat very well.
Firnlambe: This must be every idol's dream role to land then.
Wendilynn: She's playing two roles in two dramas airing at the same time. I say kudos to her.
Cici: In that case, I'm so glad she gets to eat in this one!
Wendilynn: I also liked that we got to see way more of our Timpanist show off his crush. He gets noticed by Yoo Jin for the first time as an individual, which seals his affections. lol
Cici: Yoo Jin actually realizes that his enthusiasm is what makes his performance good, and encourages it rather than trying to dampen it. He's learning….
Firnlambe: I'm really looking forward to seeing the final performances. We were certainly left with a very serious declaration from Yoo Jin there at the end.
Cici: I love that he really considers S Orchestra his orchestra, and one whose members are worth protecting and encouraging. He's come a long way.
Wendilynn: I like to think they are all starting to sprout wings. That is, if our judges panel doesn't clip them first.
Cici: Hey, it's only episode 4. It's way too early for terrible things to happen, right? RIGHT?
Firnlambe: Yes . . . But these writers are packing each "lesson" chock-full of information . . . Things are progressing at a very impressive clip. So I wouldn't put it past them.
Wendilynn: Well, first we have to get the orchestra to realize that Yoo Jin doesn't actually hate them. I laughed so hard when Soo Min tried to reassure them that they were all hated the same. lol
Cici: Yep, Yoo Jin is an equal-opportunity hater, lol. I'm looking forward to watching that icy heart of his melt.
Wendilynn: Its not really hate though...he's just very disciplined. I'm excited to see what he's going to tell these guys next week after having them tear up their music.
Firnlambe: Whatever it may be, they'll be listening with rapt attention.
Cici: Uninformed prediction: (hehehe, I'm the only one who gets to make those) He's going to have Nae Il play with the orchestra to help them "feel" the music and play with more emotion and abandon. At least, that's what I would do, lol.
Wendilynn: Well, we will just have to watch next week and find out.
Well, music majors, who do you think is benefiting the most from these lessons? Is it Rak, who is finally learning to really focus on developing his talent, or is it Min Hee, who has learned what it's like to have someone care about her welfare? Perhaps it's Si Won, who has learned to acknowledge an "inferior" talent. Or maybe, just maybe, it's Yoo Jin, who is learning that for a conductor, having a good heart is even more important than having a good brain. Share your thoughts with us in the comments below, and be sure to join us next week for the next episode of Tomorrow's Cantabile.

The desirable characteristics supposedly achieved from crossbreeding can vary from personality to size to coat to conformation.
Charlestown, RI (PRWEB) July 29, 2014
In recent years, the fad of owning designer dog breeds– otherwise known as crossbreed mutts– has become increasingly popular. The Havanese itself has been crossbred with other breeds, producing dogs such as the Hacachon, the Havashire, and the Havanese Shih Tzu.
The primary reason designer dogs have become popular is due to the myth that by crossbreeding two breeds, all positive characteristics of each breed will appear in the offspring. This leads buyers to believe that they are getting the 'perfect' dog. The desirable characteristics supposedly achieved from crossbreeding can vary from personality to size to coat to conformation. Purebred dogs have had hundreds of years of careful breeding so that only those with the best temperament and breed standard have offspring. When purchasing a purebred pup from a reputable breeder, such as Royal Flush Havanese, the buyer knows exactly what the temperament of the dog will be, along with his/her physical characteristics and potential health problems. On the other hand, when purchasing a crossbred dog, buyers have no idea which qualities of the parents have been transferred to the offspring, and how that will impact the puppy. Relatively little information is available on these designer breeds, and health issues are commonly reported in these crossbreeds.
With over 400 recognized breeds of dogs, there is assuredly one out there that satisfies whatever qualities potential buyers are seeking. Many crossbreed breeders have an agenda behind their marketing techniques. Official-looking papers and registered names are often given to mixed breed dogs in an effort to make them seem like purebreds. In order to truly be considered a purebred, the breed must be registered with either ther American Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club, the Canadian Kennel Club, or the American Rare Breed Association.
Additionally, even if breeders successfully breed puppies with positive traits from both parents, there are bound to be some negative impacts as well. Reputable breeders know that it is important to know everything about the dog being bred, and that is why so many only specialize in one breed. Combining two breeds, even by a knowledgeable breeder, can have unforeseen side effects and complications that although not deadly, can severely impact a dog's quality of life.
Royal Flush Havanese urges readers to always purchase dogs from a reputable breeder. Crossbreeds are not purebred dogs, and do not compare to the hundreds of years of breeding a purebred possesses. Families set on getting a mixed-breed dog should visit an animal shelter, not a breeder. Visit the Royal Flush Havanese website and read more useful tips for the health and well being of your dog. Awarded a Certificate of No Complaints and rated A+ for their outstanding dedication to honesty in the business place, customer satisfaction, and ethical policies and procedures by the Better Business Bureau, Royal Flush Havanese is dedicated to producing the finest Havanese puppies and providing outstanding service in their care. The only dog-breeder in Rhode Island to be accredited by the BBB, Royal Flush Havanese has also received outstanding reviews from their many delighted clients, Royal Flush Havanese is proud of their much appreciated commitment to excellence and has thousands of admiring fans and followers on Facebook.

Freddie Matthews writes from London: Fifteen million album sales later and this week there's only one band worthy of the top story in the UK singles chart as Muse return with their latest single Madness.
The Teignmouth, Devon, lads have reigned supreme in all that is live music over the last 10 years or so. They have won Best British Live Act at the Brits not just once but twice as well as a whole host of MTV Europe, NME, Mercury, Q, Kerang and American Music awards as well as three Grammy nominations.
They also won Best Rock Album for their 5th and last studio album The Resistance.
On the early auditions for X-Factor, as a guest judge, Leona looked more like a mum in her 40's or the school secretary.
I think she was trying far too hard to even be moderately tepid, let alone anywhere near cool. Then again, I think she's trying to appeal to the BBC Radio 2 listener.
They are play listing her single, and that radio station has several million more listeners than the slightly more famous BBC Radio 1. 'Trouble', for me, is pretty much in trouble. It's not great Leona, 6.2 out of 10 at best.
|Rapper Psy
OK, this new version does include five brand new songs which is encouraging for fans but five is never enough for a full album.
As a result SYCO have just tagged them into what would seem like a great deal special edition. The best example of the true meaning of a 'special edition' for me is when a car model is almost at the end of its run.
And finally, not British but certainly worthy of a mention is South Korean rapper PSY who's heading for the UK Top 10 after the sales of his Gangnam Style single quadrupled week on week.
The track has not only broken YouTube records but according to the Official Charts Company in the UK alone the sales have risen by 389 per cent and that's in just three days!
The Island release has also made history by becoming the first Korean-language hit to ever chart in the UK. It's as catchy as the day when all the residents of the planet Catchy tried to find out who was the catchiest of all the catchy people.
It's also has the 'love/hate' factor. Gangnam Style scores 7 of 10. This post was originally shared on Stirring Trouble Internationally - (A humorous take on news and current affairs) and is only a partial extract to read the article in full go to Stirring Trouble Internationally dot com.

Hello and thanks for your interest in Untangle!
This guide will be a quick primer on getting your Untangle installed, up and running. Hopefully it will also answer some common configuration questions without causing too much confusion. If you already have Untangle in your network you can skip to any relevant section and read from there. If you're new to Untangle, we recommend reading this section in its entirety to help familiarize yourself with the software and how it works - it will probably save you a headache or two later on.

What is Untangle?
Untangle is NGFW/UTM software, bringing together everything your network needs to stay healthy on one box: web content and spam filtering, virus scanning, VPN connectivity, multi-WAN failover capability and much more. We strive to make deployment and administration easy, with a friendly web-based GUI to help you monitor and filter traffic on your network. Untangle provides a suite of applications free of charge with the option of subscribing to additional applications as best suits your organization - our website has a full list of features. If you have additional questions the wiki and forums are always open, plus support is just a ticket away. Current pricing for paid applications, packages and appliances can be found in the store.
Perhaps we should also mention what Untangle is not:
Untangle is not a proxy. Whether in router mode or bridge mode, Untangle acts as a transparent filter for traffic, so you do not "point" browsers as it to filter traffic as you would with a proxy. Computers on your network will either use Untangle as their gateway or your network will force their traffic to flow through it, being filtered in the process. More information on deployment can be found below.
You can also take peek at Limitations of Untangle to see if Untangle is right for you.
Installing Untangle
If you have ordered an appliance with Untangle pre-installed, you can skip this section.
Untangle installs to the hard drive of a PC, erasing all data on that drive in the process. Please be aware of this before starting the installation. Also note that Untangle requires at least two NICs to be installed before you start the installation.
You can read about Untangle's hardware requirements and guidance in the Hardware Requirements documentation.
You have a few methods to install Untangle on a new server:
- ISO: Download the ISO from Untangle or Sourceforge, burn it to a disc and boot - the Installation Wizard will guide you through the install and network configuration process.
- We also have a QuickStart Guide available.
- USB: Write an image to a bootable USB stick - instructions are available here.
- OVA: Download the OVA from Untangle. This can be deployed in VMware and other virtualization software. When deploying in a virtual environment, be sure to read through the Cardinal Rules. Additional details are available here.
- AWS: You can launch and run Untangle on Amazon Web Services. See AWS Install instructions here.
Most users install Untangle on the server before the server is placed in-line on their network. To do this plug one interface of your Untangle into your network as you would any other computer, then start the installer. This ensures that Untangle will have access to the internet during installation.
Power down the server, insert the ISO or USB installer, and power on the server. Make sure the boot options are set to boot from the inserted CD or USB media. Once the Untangle installation has started, follow the directions on the screen to complete the installation process.
For those wishing for custom partitioning or special storage considerations, read the Expert Mode Installation
After the installation is complete the server will reboot and the Setup Wizard will appear to walk you through the next phase of installation.
If you encounter issues while installing Untangle onto your server, read the Troubleshooting Server Installation.
Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard will open automatically when Untangle first boots. If you do not have a keyboard/mouse/video connected to the Untangle server, the Setup Wizard can be reached by plugging into a DHCP-configured laptop into the internal interface opening a browser to http://192.168.2.1/.
Once installed, the setup wizard can be repeated at any time and can be found in the NG Firewall GUI at Config > System > Support > Setup Wizard.
Setup Wizard - Welcome
The first screen simply welcomes you to the Setup Wizard. Click next to continue.
Setup Wizard - Step 1 - Configure the Server
The first step has you set a password for the administrator account for Untangle and select a timezone.
Setup Wizard - Step 2 - Identify Network Cards
The second step shows you the network cards. If this is a appliance from Untangle you can simply continue to the next step. If this is a third party appliance or a custom server, you should verify that the physical network cards are mapped to the correct (desired) interface.
To determine that the physical network cards are mapped to the correct interface plug in one at a time and verify that it is in the correct position. For example, unplug all network cables from Untangle. Plug in the cable into the desired "External" physical network card. If the green light on "External" lights up then that physical network card is mapped to the correct interface. If the green light on another interface lights up, you should drag that device to the External interface using the arrow icon next to the device name. Alternative you can select the drop down on the device and choose the desired device. Once that is complete unplug all network cables and complete the process for all other interfaces.
Setup Wizard - Step 3 - Configure The Internet Connection
The third step configures your External (WAN) interface.
The default is Auto (DHCP) and the current automatically assigned address will be displayed if an address was successfully acquired. Auto (DHCP) is typical in home and small networks where ISPs provide no static addresses and DHCP is used to hand out addresses. Also, if Untangle is installed behind another device serving DHCP, this option can be used.
For larger networks Static configuration is preferred. In a static configuration, complete the Address Netmask Gateway and Primary DNS using values provided by your ISP.
However, If Untangle is being installed behind another firewall doing NAT the ISPs public address should not be used. It is common to use the gateway's IP plus one. For example if if 192.168.1.1 is the gateway for Untangle you can use 192.168.1.2 for the address for Untangle and 192.168.1.1 as the gateway.
Some ISP's provide connectivity via PPPoE. In this case, select PPPoE and provide the PPPoE username and password.
Note: If the network settings are blank, and there is no network connectivity, ensure that a network cable is connecting your modem to your Untangle appliance. Sometimes it is necessary to restart the modem so that the network settings are visible.
Setup Wizard - Step 4 - Internal Network Interface
The fourth step will configure your "Internal" interface (and DHCP server and NAT configuration.) There are two choices.
You can configure the internal interface with private static IP address (ie 192.168.2.1) and enable DHCP serving and NAT (Network Address Translation) so all internal machines will have private addresses and share one public IP. This is commonly referred to as Router mode.
You can also configure the internal interface to be bridged to the external. In this mode the internal interface does not have its own address and is simply shares the External's address. This is commonly referred to as Transparent Bridge mode.
In Router mode, Untangle will be the edge device on your network and serve as a router and firewall. In this case you'll need to set up your External and Internal interfaces correctly for traffic to flow, which should have been done while installing.
Transparent Bridge
In Transparent Bridge mode, Untangle is installed behind an existing firewall and sits between your existing firewall and main switch. When in Bridge mode Untangle is transparent, meaning you won't need to change the default gateway of the computers on your network or the routes on your firewall - just put the Untangle between your firewall and main switch and that's it. You do not change the configuration of existing clients or the existing firewall!
Setup Wizard - Step 5 - Configure Automatic Upgrade Settings
In the fifth step Automatic Upgrades are configured. If Automatic Upgrades is enabled will automatically check for new versions and upgrade automatically between 1am and 2am every morning.
Setup Wizard - Finished
That's it!
The next step is installing the desired applications and possibly further tuning the configuration of your Untangle server, then actually dropping Untangle into the network if it is not already in place.
Remember, the setup wizard can be repeated at any time. In Config > System > Support, click Setup Wizard.
Common Post-Setup-Wizard Configuration
At this point Untangle has the basic configuration that will work for most networks. However, some network require some more configuration.
Account Registration
Untangle will prompt you to sign in or register a new account with untangle.com. Registration is required to install any applications and takes only a second.
Registration has the following benefits:
- Install free or paid applications on your Untangle NGFW.
- Manage your licenses, renewals, servers and contact info all from one dashboard.
- Easily transfer licenses between servers.
If you signed in with an existing account, the system will check for any unused subscriptions in your account and ask if you would like to apply them to this system.
Once you have completed the process, continue with the steps below. Your account can always be accessed by visiting http://untangle.com or clicking My Account.
Install Applications
Installing applications is covered in the User Guide. It is recommended to finish reading this section and get everything working before configuring/tuning the application settings.
Configure Other Subnets
Untangle will route all traffic according to its routing table, even in when installed as a Transparent Bridge. This means Untangle must have the proper routing table for all subnets on your network.
If you have other subnets on the network aside from those configured in the Setup Wizard you will need to configure Untangle to know about these networks. For example, if you are running as a bridge with Untangle having an address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask 255.255.255.0 but you also have a 192.168.20.* network and also a 10.0.*.* network you will need to tell Untangle where to reach these hosts.
There are several ways to do this:
- Add a route in Config > Network > Routes telling Untangle how to reach those subnets. If 10.0.*.* is local on Internal then you simple need to create a 10.0.0.0/16 route to "Local on Internal." If 10.0.*.* lives behind another router on your network like 192.168.1.100 then you will need to add a route to send all 10.0.0.0/16 traffic to 192.168.1.100.
- Add an alias on the appropriate interface. In Config > Network > Interface click edit on the appropriate interface and add an alias IP. This effectively tells Untangle that this IP range is local and can be reached locally on that interface. It also provides Untangle a local address on those subnets should any of those clients need to reach Untangle using a local IP.
Each subnet on your network will need to be configured so Untangle knows how to reach them. The "Ping Test" in Config > Network > Troubleshooting can be used to verify that Untangle can reach the configured subnets.
More in depth information about how Untangle network is configured is found in Network Configuration.
Configure Other Interfaces
In the setup wizard you configured both the Internal and External interfaces. If you have more than 2 interfaces, the 3rd and beyond are Disabled by default.
If you plan to use them, they must be configured and it is suggested to choose a name reflecting its use.
Common uses include:
- Additional WAN interfaces (if you have multiple internet connections) for failover/balancing
- To do this just configure it as a WAN interface with the ISP's provided values. Read more about WAN Failover and WAN Balancer for more information about failover/balancing.
- Other internal networks
- To do this just configure it as a non-WAN interface with a static internal IP. For example if you used 192.168.1.1/24 on your internal, you could use 192.168.2.1/24 on your 3rd interface. This is useful on larger networks, for guest networks, for wireless networks etc.
- Public segment for public servers (DMZ)
- If you have servers with public address you can stick them on the additional interface(s) and bridge those interfaces to your WAN. Then configure them with IPs on the same subnet as the WAN interface.
- Additional NICs for existing networks
- If you want additional NICs for you Internal (for example) you can bridge the 3rd interface to your Internal and plug in additional internal machines to that NIC. This behaves similar to a switch, but traffic going through the untangle to reach other internal hosts is scanned by the apps.
More in depth information about how Untangle network is configured is found in Network Configuration.
Some Untangle applications and functions rely on sending email like reports and spam quarantine digests. Email sending is configured in Config > Email. By default email will be sent directly using DNS MX records like a mail server. However, some ISPs and networks block port 25 to prevent spam and in this case you must configure a SMTP relay (and the appropriate authorization credentials if required).
You can configure the hostname (and domain) for the Untangle server in Config > Network > Hostname.
Port Forward Rules
If Untangle is installed as a router and have internal servers with services that need to be publicly accessible you need to configure port forward rules to forward that traffic to the appropriate server. You can configure port forward rules in Config > Network > Port Forward Rules.
Bypass Rules
Unlike many next-generation firewalls, Untangle scans All TCP and UDP traffic on all ports at the application layer by default, except for VoIP traffic. This is ideal for most deployments but if you are running a very large (1000s of users) network it probably makes sense to bypass traffic that you are not interested in scanning. Traffic can be bypassed in Config > Network > Bypass Rules. More is described in the Network documentation.
Public Address
If you use OpenVPN or quarantine or other publicly accessible services on Untangle, you may wish to configure the "public address" of Untangle so that it sends the appropriate URL to remote users. Public Address can be configured in Config > Administration > Public Address.
External Administration
If you'd like to be able to administer Untangle via HTTPS remotely you will need to enable HTTPS access on WAN interfaces in the Access Rules.
Installing Untangle on the Network
At this point Untangle should be ready to drop into the network if it is not already in place.
If Untangle is configured in bridge mode an easy way to test Untangle is to install it with only one or a few computers behind it - plug the External interface into your network then plug a switch with a few computers into the Internal interface so they must go through Untangle. Only those computers will be filtered, allowing you to test without disturbing there rest of your network.
If you are running as a Transparent Bridge verify that Untangle is not plugged in backwards by unplugging the network cables one at a time and looking at the green lights in Config > Network > Interfaces. If Untangle is configured as a bridge and plugged in backwards it will pass traffic but some functionality will not work correctly. Untangle also provides Administrative Alerts which will bring this to your attention so you can fix it.
- Untangle is designed to drop in to your network with minimum disruption. When testing we recommend putting the system in place, keeping most defaults unless you're having problems. This way you can get a feel for how Untangle works before making possibly major changes that may affect system operation.
Using Untangle
The next step is installing the applications and configuring Untangle to meet your needs. The User Guide provides in depth documentation of the various functions of Untangle and the applications.
