Juan: Learning From the Journey
Juan Alas
- U.S. Marine Corps, eight years
- Major: undecided
My educational experience before the military was unguided.
Both of my parents worked throughout my primary education, so there was hardly an adult around. I never did any sports and I hardly tried in my studies. I dropped out of school for a couple of months and registered at the Independent Adult Education Center in San Jose and did night classes while I worked in the mornings and afternoons.
I took the GED test in April 2008 and, with those credits awarded to me from the exam, I earned my high school diploma a month before my new graduation date. I was a "super senior," since it was a year after my original graduation date.
Two weeks later, in May 2008, I shipped off for Marine Corps boot camp, where I remained enlisted until October 2016 – eight years and five months exactly.
My military experience did not affect me in regards to education until later in my career. I felt stupid and not cut out for university, so the thought of going to school terrified me. I never thought of school until after my reenlistment. I reenlisted in October 2012 after my second deployment into Marine Security Guard (MSG) duty, a temporary duty that would take me abroad to provide internal embassy security for the Department of State. I was posted in Tunis, Tunisia and Moscow, Russia for a year in both countries.
This duty removed me from the Marine Corps, figuratively speaking, because it surrounded me with diplomats and civilians serving for the United States and other countries in things totally unrelated to the military. They came from political, economic, linguistic and engineering backgrounds. They influenced me to pursue my dreams and to tackle the things I am most scared of. MSG totally changed what I wanted to do with my life: I wanted to leave the Marines for an education, return to my family, and continue to travel and learn in both the classroom and outside. But it took two years of thinking about my discharge and what I wanted after.
Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom
Since my discharge, the experience of transitioning to academia has had its ups and downs, with feelings of closing myself off and resorting to military behavior that is normal within the service. For a while after my discharge, my temper would show and being antisocial (which is still my biggest challenge) resulted in me not making very many new friends, though I was traveling on summer breaks, which was the third goal of mine.
Since my discharge I have driven to Michigan and back from California, visited France twice, Spain, and Copenhagen, Denmark. During summer 2019, I rode a bicycle from Houston, Texas into Mexico where I rode both the bicycle and buses, and hitchhiked all the way to Guatemala. My conviction is strong that these months abroad have done nothing but influenced me in positive ways. My confidence is growing and I believe a combination of classroom, family time and traveling are what will help me succeed in whatever I choose to do.
To any veterans who are curious about the secret to succeeding in academia and in general life, post-discharge, I would say the same things: There are no secrets. My strategy of leaving the military in the closet, minimizing my time with other veterans so as not to let them influence me, and looking at the world as a student in all matters has been helping me. They need to check their ego about being the "tip of the spear," find their humility, and if time allows, take their time in academia. They should not be afraid to meet new people of new backgrounds. The veteran never knows, but they should find the experiences they need to break their military mold and create a new person for themselves.
– Juan Alas, spring 2020

Grateful for help on her first Mother's Day without mom
'My mom loved all of you so very much'
This is my first Mother's Day without my mom, Elizabeth, after losing her to pancreatic cancer last July. To say that this Sunday will be hard is an understatement. This year I can't personally thank her for cooking my family dinner after she had worked a full day multiple times per week, or for holding my son Levi when he was 10 months old for the entire flight to Thailand, or for making me laugh by dying all of my underwear army-green when I was 15 because I had asked for non-white undies (I can still hear her voice "Why do you need colorful underwear? Who's going to see them?").
So this year I would like to thank all of the amazing women who helped us take care of her during those last, extremely difficult months. All of them sacrificed time from work or time resting and, most importantly, time with their own families. During a time when most people can't bear to see someone they love suffer, instead of protecting themselves from hurting they stepped in and showed her how much she meant to them. I know they did it because they loved her, but it was also a huge help to my father and I, as it allowed me to spend time with my own family, and my dad to get some much-needed rest.
So thank you to my aunts, Ania Skalska (from Poland), Michelle Majka (from Chicago), and Barb Goulette (from Arizona). Thank you to her best friend Patricia Stlaske, from Chicago. Thank you to her friends from the Polish community and St. Stephen's Church, Bronia Obrochta, Barb Hille, Halina Ratajczak, Ola Ratajczak, Bozena Gucwa, and Irena Wisniewska. Thank you to her neighbors Kelly Cullen and Linda Cerise. And thank you to my best friend, Elizabeth Roberts. I am amazed, but not surprised by all of your strength and selflessness. My mom loved all of you so very much.

Ignore that atrocious title and go see this anyway: Alexandre O. Philippe's close reading of the 'Psycho' shower scene is as refreshingly fun and perceptive as his documentary's name—referring to Alfred Hitchcock's 78 camera setups and 52 edits over the course of three violent minutes—is eggheaded and clinical. Those 180 seconds are, of course, legendary, not only for implying a brutality never seen in mainstream movies before the summer of 1960 but for killing off the main character in the film's first act (shame on you if that's a spoiler), plunging audiences into a narrative freefall that was scarier than any possessive mom with a butcher knife.
'78/52' assembles a murderers' row of testifying directors, such as Guillermo del Toro and Richard Stanley ('Hardware'), as well as a peppy squad of visual technicians and even Anthony Perkins's son, Oz, himself a filmmaker but more importantly a storyteller blessed with his father's dry wit. Every subtext and nuance is milked for maximum impact: What was that painting on the bedroom wall? Which melon did they use to get the precise sound of the stabbing? Why does this scene still matter? It's a film class, yes, but the most invigorating one you'll take.

Little Buddy West is now the proud owner of a prestigious Blue Peter badge after mastering a new sport - and he's set off a chain reaction in his school.
The Year 2 pupil at All Saint's Primary School in Coventry is inspiring his schoolmates to go for their badges too.
For children across the nation, the Blue Peter badge is a highly coveted prize that recognises an individuals' dedication to learning a new skill.
Buddy won his Blue Peter Badge for learning how to play rugby.
He now has ambitious plans to start a collection of them - and is helping classmates to do the same.
We meet inspirational Buddy...
Buddy West has been called to his headteacher's room - but for an exciting reason.
He has come to show us his Blue Peter Badge, and to fill us in on some important updates from his school community.
With the help of his parents and his school, he applied for a Blue Peter sports badge.
"I was really excited to apply for the sports badge," he grinned.
Buddy's mum Stevie added: "Buddy wanted to apply for his sports badge, and he had to try a new sport for it. He tried playing rugby and loved it, and is now a member of a local rugby team.
"Buddy loves Blue Peter and he loves badges, it was his idea. It was really exciting for him. Every time the postman came, he would ask if it was his badge in the post."
Despite watching the post for 10 weeks, Buddy now has plans to apply for his music badge.
Buddy certainly doesn't sit still, in addition to playing rugby, he is in a rock band, goes to Beavers and loves getting out and about.
A whole school effort
Buddy's efforts have inspired the rest of the school to apply for their Blue Peter badges.
Whilst he has got one for sport, as long as you try a new skill you can apply for a badge for it. In this case, more children are applying for the Blue Peter eco-badge.
Headteacher Mrs Page said:"It's exciting for the children who want to apply themselves for the Blue Peter eco-badge. Each child is going to write a letter to Blue Peter about our eco-team."
The school eco-team, which Buddy is also a part of, is a clever community initiative at All Saints school, which has a representative from each child's class to work on the school eco-friendly policy alongside school governors.
Their efforts have culminated in an eco friendly greenhouse, which they have built out of plastic bottles collected by the children and their families.
Headteacher Mrs Page said: "It has been a real community focus. Thousands of bottles have been collected by the children and their families, and our eco team have been brilliant.
"Children carry that message home of reuse, recycle, and rehome."
The school had Jewson supplies as their local sponsor who provided the materials for the frame, and with the help of the allotment next door they built a wooden frame and furnished the walls and roof with the plastic bottles they had collected.
The greenhouse is a striking addition to the allotment site next to the school, and even has windows!
Buddy, along with the rest of the eco-team plan to use the greenhouse to grow tomatoes and vegetables in a bid to be more resourceful and less wasteful.
The school has an active community programme, which includes their junior police officer scheme which saw the children patrolling their local area, and even giving their parents parking tickets.
We went down to visit All Saints primary school in July, and it is great to see the progress the children have made since in their efforts to be more involved with issues affecting the community around them.
After seeing Buddy's Blue Peter badge, Headteacher Cara Page says the children have now been given some time to write a letter to apply for their own.
Well done to Buddy and All Saints Primary School.

Procter & Gamble's (PG -0.33%) business has been in rebound mode for nearly a full year, and investors have responded by pushing its shares higher by over 20% so far in 2019. Wall Street has applauded P&G's market share gains, its balanced growth, and its improving profitability.
That positive track record sets up some high stakes for the consumer products giant when it closes out its 2019 and issues its first official outlook for the new fiscal year. So, let's take a look at what investors can expect to see from P&G on Tuesday, July 30.
Prices and volume
P&G's last three quarters included some of its fastest growth since 2012, when the company started its portfolio transformation strategy that cleaved 100 brands from the business. Organic sales growth averaged 4% in the prior nine months, suggesting market share gains overall and at the expense of rival Kimberly Clark (KMB -0.62%).
Tuesday's report should show continued steady sales gains to put P&G at 4% for the full year, doubling its growth pace from fiscal 2018 and edging past Kimberly Clark's 3% rate. That performance gap might be harder to maintain this quarter given that Kimberly Clark recently posted its fastest expansion in years, with revenue jumping 5%.
Besides that top-line comparison, investors will be watching for signs that P&G's growth is well supported. These would show up in the balance between higher prices and rising, or at least steady, sales volumes. If P&G instead got all of its growth from increased prices, as Kimberly Clark did, then it's likely shareholders are in for slower gains ahead. As for specific product niches, keep an eye on the shaving and baby care segments, which executives called out as disappointing laggards in the prior quarter.
Profits and returns
P&Gs dividend payments and stock repurchase spending this quarter will likely push direct shareholder returns to over $12 billion in 2019. Its track record is spotless on this score, with nearly $70 billion returned to shareholders over the last decade.
Its ability to keep sending that cash to investors rests on two big factors that will show up in Tuesday's report. First, the company needs its efficient business to produce market-leading profitability. Look for operating margin to again pass 20%, compared to Kimberly Clark's 15%.
Second, P&G works hard to convert nearly all of its earnings into cash flow that it can direct back toward shareholders. Management calls this metric its "free cash flow productivity" and aims to reach at least 95%. Hitting that figure would lay the groundwork for another strong year of cash returns in fiscal 2020.
The outlook
Assuming P&G achieves its latest forecast, fiscal 2019 will have marked its second straight year of accelerating growth as organic sales improve to 4% from 2% in 2018 and 1% in 2017. Earnings gains have been even stronger thanks to cost cuts and those rising product prices.
However, there are good reasons to expect CEO David Taylor and his team to project a slowdown ahead. Executives in April predicted a "strong competitive response" to its recent market share gains, for one, and Kimberly Clark's faster growth could be a part of that reaction. P&G will have a higher bar to pass, too, and will face a volatile environment for commodity costs and exchange rate shifts.
All of these factors might convince management to issue a wide range for its growth outlook that leaves the door open for a major slowdown or a slight acceleration in 2020. Assuming P&G takes that conservative approach, investors will likely have to wait until the end of the first half of the year to find out if the business is still on the upswing.

Hackers claim they've stolen private information from the Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks law firm, which represents some of the biggest names in entertainment. Drake, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Run-DMC and Mariah Carey are among the Hip Hop and R&B artists who've been represented by attorney Allen Grubman's firm.
According to Page Six, hackers known as REvil or Sodinokibi say they've obtained 756 gigabytes of data and shared a screenshot of a Madonna tour contract as proof. The cybercriminals are demanding a $21 million ransom for the stolen info.
"We can confirm that we've been victimized by a cyberattack," the Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks firm said in a press statement. "We have notified our clients and our staff. We have hired the world's experts who specialize in this area, and we are working around the clock to address these matters."
Variety reports the hackers have allegedly gained access to contracts, nondisclosure agreements and contact information. The REvil group has previously succeeded in its cyberattacks, securing a $2.3 ransom from the foreign exchange company Travelex earlier this year.
Other notable clients of Grubman's firm include LeBron James, Mike Tyson, Elton John, Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen. The company website is currently down following the cyberattack.

The article researches the potential tomahawks and measurements of guides for computerized business advancement for business visionaries and in addition ventures. All things considered, advanced business development requires a difference in context with respect to IT administration and the executives of IT framework. This is because of the need to adjust them to the consistent development and changes in plans of action, resulting to the digitalization of an organization items and administrations. Additionally, the paper considers the plans of action fitting the differing guides demonstrating their mapping to an organization esteem chain. At long last, the paper examines the attributes of four key kinds of computerized business association "frames of mind", coming about because of their introduction towards execution or else separation. The paper depends on bits of knowledge and results from the Future Enterprise venture. Specifically, the paper contentions and viewpoints are adjusted from Alvertis et al. [2] and Yoo [4], and different commitments by the creator to the two records.
The Future Enterprise venture plans to convey an examination guide on new types of web based undertaking advancement. The focal point of the venture is on what are characterized there as "endeavors of things to come", that are driven by steady plan of action change and development, going about as multi-sided stages based on – and rising up out of – computerized advancements at the worldwide and also nearby dimension to deliver shared esteem including that past adaptation. The paper is organized as pursues first we examine the potential option guides distinguished for endeavors and business people willing to embrace plans of action authorizing computerized business advancement. At that point, mapping is given of a set plan of action advancements for the recognized guides on the esteem chain essential and bolster exercises. At last, kinds of association arrangements are displayed reasonable to help organizations comprehension of their genuine « frame of mind » towards computerized business advancement. Decisive comments and future work end the paper. Guides In this Section we talk about a structure for distinguishing the guides that assorted business performing artists (business people, little and medium endeavors SMEs, and huge venture) pursue when undertaking explicit development ways. These ways are driven by the plans of action advancement (BMI) the performing artists may picked, regarding structure or reconfiguration [6], based on their vital introduction towards differentiation1 and/o the focal point of the assorted on-screen characters on execution or operational viability.
This is a case study sample only which cannot be used as your own research. If you need someone to help write your case study paper, please visit the following service: https://smartwritingservice.com/case-study.html.
Accordingly, the system is additionally founded on an arrangement of accessible plans of action (BMs) as far as I) their structure center components and ii) the kinds of business performers reasonable to embrace them. The structure center components allude to a movement frameworks point of view on plans of action, where action framework configuration depicts how firms work together, and catches the substance of the plan of action. Specifically, as indicated by research, movement framework content alludes to the choice of exercises that are performed, while action framework structure depicts how the exercises are connected and their importance to the plan of action (being them center, supporting or fringe). At long last, action framework administration alludes to who plays out the exercises and its job in basic leadership or gatekeeping. The structure is appeared in Figure 1, where dim scale shades are utilized to separate BMs based on their plan center component. Dull dark is related to BMs having structure as configuration center component, light dim to the BMs having administration as configuration center component, while gainsboro shows BMs having content as configuration center component.
At that point, the assorted structure center components are additionally described based on their vital introduction towards separation and the resulting key center; though the considered business on-screen characters are situated based on their attention on execution or operational adequacy. At long last, the recognized BMs are disseminated on the subsequent guide on the quadrants at the intersection between the related plan component degrees of separation and the business performer execution center. It is important that a few BMs can cover territories relating to assorted center components and on-screen characters than the ones principally portraying it (in Figure 1, this issue is spoken to by the thickness and expansion of the distinctive BMs shaded boxes, for example, e.g., on account of the «open innovation» BM). This makes two distinctive guides for the assorted business performers: one prompting more elevated amount of execution and the other to a separation authority. The thought behind this BM guide is that (vast) endeavors, SMEs, and business visionaries need to move in the guide center through the key components (e.g., business visionaries may concentrate for the most part on substance, SMEs begin from structure to touch base at substance, venture may begin with administration to land at substance). Therefore, assuming that business people are at first more intrigued by separation instead of execution, nonetheless, once achieved its more elevated amount, most likely they will have developed towards being a SMEs or else even an (extensive) venture, thusly moving along the means of the execution guide. The contrary way can should be the one pursued by (expansive) undertakings and SMEs.
In this Section we give a mapping of an arrangement of BMIs distinguished for the guides talked about above on the esteem chain essential exercises (item and market related exercises) and bolster exercises (identified with foundation, propose a grouping of appropriation of the diverse plans of action by a conventional endeavor willing to approach advanced business development. With regards to the essential exercises, the execution arranged BMIs above considered for help exercises, have their execution supplements here spoken to, e.g., by BMI#7 – Supply Chain Integration ( c o v e r I n g l o g I s t I c s a n d tasks), BMI#2 – Physical to Virtual and BMI#3 – Produce on Demand. The reception of the last BMIs is a pertinent reason for further selection of separation arranged BMIs and an ensuing guide separation way to pursue innovation, obtainment, and human asset the executives). This Section plots the sorts of association designs a business performing artist may have or receive when hoping to exploit the different BMIs related to the above examined guides. The kinds of association arrangement are talked about in detail by and depend on an expansion of the typology for the computerized business advancement. Along these lines, receiving BMIs related to a certain guide may lead organizations to pursue diverse directions and having an explicit demeanor toward computerized business development, either centered around execution or separation and all the half breed setups in the middle. Be that as it may, to all the more likely inspire the adjustments in the authoritative structure to exploit the assorted
BMIs and guides a further arrangement of measurements must be considered with regards to the reaction designs steadiness and consistency Hence, for every one of the thought about business performing artists, the mix of the BMIs guide key introduction (separation versus execution) and the reaction designs (level of dependability and consistency portraying them) permit to recognize four kinds of advanced business association setups. Figure 3 demonstrates the four sorts dependent on an adjustment to advanced business difficulties of the great typology (made up of safeguards, miners, analyzers, and reactors). Notwithstanding, it is important that the portrayal of the sorts attributes protects the center features of the first typology. Consequently, we outline them in what pursues:
- Digital Business Defender is an association centered around being focused in a thin and very much characterized (item benefit)- advertise in computerized business, along these lines, basically offering thoughtfulness regarding effectiveness, efficiency, and enhancement of existing activities.
- Digital Business Prospector is an association centered around nonstop separation and advancement of service products, and always searching for new computerized market openings, giving an essential consideration regarding experimentation.
- Digital Business Analyzer is an association working in two markets, I) one stable and with a constrained level of digitalization, ii) the other very digitalized and advancing or being liable to change. In the principal advertise the association works as the protector does, while in the second it goes about as a miner does.
- Digital Business Reactor is an association unfit to react adequately to change and vulnerability in the business condition, because of insufficiently enunciated procedure or an authoritative structure inappropriately connected to technique or the adherence to an out of date methodology and structure.
Considering the reaction designs tomahawks, it is significant that as per, reactors reaction instruments are flimsy and inconsistent. In this manner, associations in that quadrant need to move to one of the other three sorts so as to misuse the BMIs reasonable to empower them exploiting advanced business in an execution or else separation situated procedure. Be that as it may, it ought to likewise be noticed that, because of the high inconstancy and speed of progress driven by advanced advances, turning into a computerized business reactor could be the situation additionally for associations having picked or received one of the three steady and reliable reaction types, for they grasped advanced innovations end up old. In what pursues the previous kinds are talked about as "frames of mind" for the objective business on-screen characters, featuring the explicit issues they include concerning four «universal» issues of arranging: undertaking division, assignment designation, remunerate arrangement, and data arrangement. At long last, it is significant that the resulting portrayal of sorts pursues and adjusts the first proposition by.
The ideas and related methodological methodology proposed in this paper sprung from the requirement for a precise way to deal with computerized plan of action structure. In spite of the fact that BMDI gives an incredible methodology, the need of an augmentation with an emphasis on computerized advances has turned out to be obvious. The proposed approach tends to questions such as the accompanying:
- How can we reconsider our business in an
progressively computerized world?
- How would we be able to plan a computerized plan of action for our organization?
In this paper we have managed just a portion of the important inquiries with respect to the update of business models toward advanced. There are different points that we could just address and still must be tended to:
- A computerized business structure gives companies with the innovative establishment to master the difficulties of the new computerized world. An in-memory figuring stage causes them oversee business forms as it is vital for computerized business, associating incredible analytical capacities with upgraded client, work- power, and accomplice commitment so as to adapt with current computerized difficulties. The exhibited computerized business demonstrating approach serves to make quicker utilization of this system, since technology and business change go hand close by. Be that as it may, a progressively point by point depiction of the interconnection of the two sides would be accommodating to demonstrate that the qualities of both strands are incorporated.
- A second inquiry concerns the transaction of procedure and digitalization. Advanced transformation is impossible haphazardly yet needs an all-around defined procedure. This requires a strong elaboration of key objectives that go for computerized change. Our contemplations of advanced center regions can be viewed as a stage in this bearing, yet it is still in its earliest stages. Some investigation has just been led to investigate the topic of how to lead advanced change (for instance, however the discourse has recently begun.
- We have effectively thought about the connections between computerized esteem drivers in the proposed graphical portrayal, however an exhaustive examination of these connections is as yet required.
There is a high changeability in how one can join different esteem drivers, however clearly a few associations are more grounded than others. For the present methodology, it was sufficient to see these connections, however a superior comprehension of them will additionally fortify the strategy. There is additionally the subject of how to ideally incorporate the computerized plan of action strategy formed here into existing plan approaches. We have just outlined a direct method for how this could function, yet the methodology requires progressively commonsense application and validation. Indeed, the advanced esteem drives idea gives a more ne-grained supplement of existing examples and takes into consideration a progressively point by point examination of execution openings. In any case, we have to research further how precisely the two ideas can be joined by and by to upgrade the elect.
The ideas and related methodological methodology proposed in this paper sprung from the requirement for an efficient way to deal with advanced plan of action structure. Despite the fact that BMDI gives an incredible system, the need of an augmentation with an attention on computerized advancements has turned out to be evident. The proposed methodology tends to questions, for example, the accompanying:
How can we rethink our business in an undeniably advanced world? •How would we be able to structure
an advanced plan of action for our organization? In this paper we have managed just a portion of the
significant inquiries with respect to the update of business models toward computerized.
There are different themes that we could just address and still must be tended to:
A computerized business structure furnishes companies with the mechanical establishment to master the difficulties of the new advanced world. An in-memory figuring stage encourages them oversee business forms as it is fundamental for computerized business, associating incredible analytical capacities with upgraded client, work-power, and accomplice commitment so as to adapt to current advanced difficulties. The exhibited advanced business demonstrating approach makes quicker utilization of this structure, since technology and business change go connected at the hip. Nonetheless, a progressively point by point depiction of the interconnection of the two sides would be useful to demonstrate that the qualities of the two strands are coordinated.
A second inquiry concerns the interchange of technique and digitalization.
Computerized transformation is impossible arbitrarily however needs a very much defined technique. This requires a strong elaboration of vital objectives that go for advanced change. Our contemplations of advanced center territories can be viewed as a stage toward this path, however it is still in its outset. Some investigation has just been directed to investigate the topic of how to lead computerized change, however the dialog has quite recently begun.
We have officially considered the connections between computerized esteem drivers in the proposed graphical portrayal (Section 6), however an intensive examination of these connections is as yet required. There is a high changeability by the way one can consolidate different esteem drivers, yet clearly a few associations are more grounded than others. For the present methodology, it was sufficient to see these connections, yet a superior comprehension of them will additionally fortify the technique.
There is likewise the subject of how to ideally coordinate the advanced plan of action strategy formed here into existing structure approaches. We have just outlined a clear method for how this could function, yet the methodology requires increasingly down to earth application and validation. Indeed, the advanced esteem drivers idea gives a more ingrained supplement of existing examples and takes into consideration a progressively point by point examination of usage openings. Be that as it may, we have to research further how precisely the two ideas can be consolidated practically speaking to advance the elect.

NEC NP-P525ULG WUXGA Laser Projector 5000 Lumens Product Description
The NEC P525ULG Entry Installation Series, LCD, laser projector combines advanced features at a budget conscious price making it ideal for higher education classrooms and corporate conference rooms. With 5200 center lumens, WXGA resolution and improved color fidelity the P Series delivers impressive images in demanding applications. Installation flexibility is achieved with lens shift, HDBaseT, a broad 1.6x zoom lens and tilt free capability. The 20,000 hour laser life and NEC's sealed optical engine creates a maintenance free projection solution.
Versatile, maintenance-free, entry-level installation projectors with excellent quietness
Filter-free Structure with NEC's Original Cooling System
High dustproof performance is achieved by NEC's proprietary sealed jet impingement cooling structure. Due to its excellent dustproof performance, this projector does not have the cumbersome filters that ordinary LCD projectors require. The new laser-based LCD projector offers better TCO (total cost of ownership) with less maintenance.
Super Silent Design Utilising a Sealed Structure
The unique cooling system not only improves the dustproof performance but also reduces the noise of the fan. This quiet design achieves excellent quietness of 19 to 22 dB in ECO mode. Even in a very quiet meeting room or classroom, the presence of the projector is not felt.
A Long-life Laser Diode is Provided in the Light Module
Advanced laser technology delivers a reliable light source up to 20,000 hours
Maintains the set brightness for a long time
The projector is equipped with a "constant brightness mode" that detects changes in brightness due to aging and automatically adjusts the output to keep the brightness constant. This makes it possible to project with stable brightness for a long time.
Self Colour Correction
This function compensates for the natural colour shift that occurs with age and adjusts to natural and suitable colours automatically according to the number of hours used
Advanced Installation Functions and Connectivity
Lens Shift
Lens shift provides greater flexibility when determining the installation location.
Dual HDMI Inputs
The wide selection of inputs includes HDMI with HDCP for connecting to high-definition sources such as Blu-ray players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and personal computers.
Support for 4K Input
The built-in HDMI and HDBaseT input terminals support up to 4K video for display of ultrahigh resolution video.
The projector can be rotated freely (360°) to orient the image depending on the installation requirements.
Portrait mode
Allows the projector to be rotated (and screen if necessary) to a vertical alignment so that portrait content can be viewed without black bars on the side when landscape mode is used.
Built-in HDBaseT
Simplify your installations with HDBaseT, which is optimised for video applications and supports uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, Ethernet, power and various control signals. With only a single cable (up to 100 m) to run, infrastructure and labour costs are reduced, installations are significantly easier, and there is no cable clutter to manage. With uncompressed HD video support, images have never been more stunning.
Advanced Networking Capabilities
This projector is compatible with the NEC MultiPresenter application, so multi-screen projection is possible via the network (wired LAN / wireless LAN).
Simultaneous Dual Image Display (PIP)
With this projector, it is possible to project two images with a single projector by displaying a small sub-display within the main display. Furthermore, the sub-display display position can be changed and the main display and sub-display images can be swapped.
Other Useful Functions and Features
20 Watt Built-in Speaker
The powerful 20-watt speaker provides sufficient volume in classrooms and meeting rooms.
Seamless Switching Function for Smoother Image Change
When the input signal is switched, the image displayed before switching is retained so that the new image can be displayed without a break.

As a follow up to the news that sexually violent predator Douglas Badger is being proposed for placement in a Rancho Bernardo golf course neighborhood, the owners of the property have changed their minds about him residing there (see the letter below).
Read between the lines, but it's pretty clear the property owners felt the wrath of the community in the last several days. Carl DeMaio gets a lot of credit for organizing much of the opposition efforts.

Steve Hearn is one of my dearest friends and is today's Links Spotlight.
Steve is an amazing artist from England who is a source of constant support and inspiration for me. I met Steve at the very first ISCA (NCN) convention I had ever attended in 2003. I remember how I wanted, quite simply, to have my caricature drawn by an international artist. I walked past Steve drawing at a table and found out by reading his name tag that he was from the U.K. I requested a caricature of me by him and he politely obliged. We talked about artwork, fatherhood and other interests we had in common (beer) and instantly became friends.
We made it a point to keep in touch after the convention and did. We attended subsequent conventions together and Steve has always made it a point to visit when he comes to Florida on holiday.
This caricature of Steve (with the unintentionally screwed up Union Jack) was a pivotal piece for me. It happened at the 2004 convention when I was frustrated about my drawings and couldn't pin down a "style" that I was happy with. I decided to be true to myself and draw strictly to make myself happy. The caricature of Steve was the first in the series I did, and became the jumping off point, my "EUREKA" moment for the rest of the convention. That year I placed 2nd in Best Cartoon Style. The following year at the 2005 convention, I got 1st place in Best Cartoon Style.
It was at the last convention I attended with Steve in 2006 where I did this caricature of him that I received 2nd place again for Best Cartoon Style.
Steve remains my "brother" to this day. Check out his blog to the right or go to: http://www.pencildreams.com/
and hire Steve (and tip him well) at: http://drawn4u.com/
See you soon, brother!

ORLANDO, Fla., June 28 (Reuters) – Buy and hold, maximum long.
That has basically been the strategy for commodity hedge funds for the last couple of years, but it is fast losing its luster.
Crude oil, industrial metals and a range of agricultural commodities are down significantly from their peaks earlier this year – in some cases by up to 50% – as rising interest rates increase the likelihood of U.S. and global recession.
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
For all that hedge funds are supposed to be quick-thinking, nimble operators with the freedom and flexibility to go short as well as long – they are the smartest guys in the room, after all – the reality is rather different.
Many are trend-spotting momentum players, betting on an asset appreciating in value and running with it. This approach is not all that different from any conventional buy-and-hold, long-only fund.
Going long – essentially a bet that a particular asset will rise in value – has been extremely lucrative in the commodities space thanks to the post-pandemic global economic recovery, subsequent supply-chain and bottleneck squeeze, and supply issues emanating from the Russia-Ukraine war.
Hedge fund industry data provider Preqin's commodities strategies index rose 13.8% from January through May, more than four times the 3.0% rise in the benchmark macro index, and three times the macros strategies index rise of 4.5%.
Similarly, rival industry data provider HFR's commodity index was up 12.1% in the first five months of the year, the main contributor to the (total) macro index's 9.35% gain. Commodities is a constituent part of the broader macro index.
But almost all of that impressive performance – 10.57% of it – was accrued in the first quarter. The index lost 0.46% in May, its biggest monthly fall since November 2020.
Thomas Thornton, founder of research firm Hedge Fund Telemetry, says a lot of funds have been caught out by the recent price decline across the commodity complex, which is eating into their previous gains.
"Commodity hedge funds don't short enough. They don't hedge enough. They're basically momentum traders," Thornton said.
"Hedge funds have chased performance, chased commodities higher. They have absolutely crushed it. But this last move down has really shaken some funds," he added.
Second-quarter and first-half performance figures will be released in early July. The HFR commodity index has posted only one quarterly loss since 2018, and that was a 0.57% decline in Q1 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is unlikely to fall that much in Q2, but the peak definitely seems to have passed.
Brent crude oil futures are down around 20% from their March high, and benchmark London Metal Exchange copper futures last week hit their lowest level since February 2021. Copper has lost around a quarter of its value since hitting a record high in March.
Other industrial metals are also sliding sharply – tin fell 25% last week alone, its biggest weekly fall since at least 2005, and is now 50% off its March high.
The Bloomberg agriculture index fell more than 7% last week, its biggest fall since 2011. The industrial metals index is down 25% in the April-June period, on track for its worst quarter since 2008 and second-worst since the index was launched over 30 years ago.
Speculators active in Commodity Futures Trading Commission futures are waking up to the shift. Funds sold oil in the latest week at the fastest rate in 15 weeks as the prospect of a U.S. recession sooner rather than later continued to intensify.
Saxo Bank's commodity analysts said on Monday that the total CFTC net long position across 24 commodity futures they track fell 5% to a 22-month low of 1.5 million lots in the last week. The biggest reductions were in WTI crude oil, natural gas, grains and sugar.
"Worries about growth and with that demand for commodities helped trigger long liquidation in energy and grains together with additional short selling in copper," they wrote on Monday.
The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.

Minister for Education Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Wednesday emphasized for requisite parental and societal counselling so that the youth do not go astray and miss on education.
The Minister said this while interacting with people during his day long tour of Batamaloo constituency where he inaugurated the newly constructed building for Government High School Malroo.
Accompanied by Noor Mohammad Sheikh, MLA Batamaloo, senior officers of education and Public Works departments, the Minister visited various schools in the area where he took stock of infrastructural needs besides requirement of teaching and ministerial staff.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister expressed dismay and surprise over the recurrent and engineered incidents of stone pelting and road-side agitations involving students of high and higher secondary schools. "The students should have been busy and involved in academic and co-curricular activities rather being chased by law enforcing agencies on the roads. This is really a dismaying and disturbing situation which needs to be addressed through coordinated and vigilant efforts of teachers, parents and the society," Bukhari remarked.
Bukhari appealed students to return to their classes and not to waste their precious academic time on roads. "I fail to understand on whom they are pelting stones? Perhaps we live in one society and it is beyond one's comprehension as who is pelting stones on whom?" he asked and added that the time has come for the people to ponder over the prevailing scenario where a whole generation is being pushed into academic disempowerment.
The Education Minister informed that the Government was prompt in its action against trespassing in Pulwama Degree College. "We ordered a time bound enquiry and completed it in 8 days and it was followed up with tangible action. I fail to understand why are the students now on roads?," he said.
The Minister said that the students have every right to seek redress of their grievances through peaceful protest. "I have no problem if they protest peacefully for genuine issues and I am here to listen to their grievances," the Minister said and added that by coming out on the roads and pelting stones on unsuspecting citizens, the students are doing no good either to themselves or to the society. He said some outsiders try to exploit the gullible students and try to create law and order problems under the garb of student protests.
"We have lost precious academic time last year. It hurts me as a father to see children not attending to their classes. I once again appeal them to go back to their schools and colleges and focus on their studies instead of pushing themselves into darkness," the Minister pleaded.
Bukhari reiterated his commitment to resolve the issues of students and the staff in schools. He appealed the students to approach him if they have any issues. "I am available any time to any student. I appeal them to approach me in person, on phone or through email. We will try to address all issues jointly. How can we confront with our own children with the use of force when the matter of the fact is that we love them," he said.
The double storied school building of Government High School Malroo, inaugurated by the Minister, was constructed at a cost of Rs 2.23 crore.
On the occasion, MLA Batamaloo, Noor Mohammad Sheikh, solicited public cooperation to make government schools successful both in academics and co-curricular activities.
On the demand of teachers and locality, the Minister approved on spot demands like Smart Classroom, Kitchen, Laboratory, Computer room, Library, and a Herbal Garden for GHS Malroo.
He also approved the use of two rooms of community hall for Health Center which is otherwise running in an unsafe structure in Malroo.
Later, Bukhari visited various educational institutions in Malroo, Mujgund and the adjoining areas.
During his visit to Government Middle School, Khawaja Bagh, Malroo, which is currently running in three rooms, Bukhari asked CEO Srinagar to make a proposal for three storied building of 9 classrooms for the improvement of education in the area.
At Government Middle School Chack Mujgund, the Minister directed R&B officers to start renovation of the existing building on fast track basis and handover the building to education department by October this year.
He also asked I&FC department to provide the fencing for the irrigation canal that passes within the school premises.
The minister visited Government Boys Higher Secondary Institute Mujgund where he said that Rs 2.66 crore is already earmarked under TAMIER scheme and will be expedited by administrative department for the construction of three storied two buildings.
Bukhari also visited under construction Hospital building at Mujgund which is being constructed at a cost of Rs 1.75 crore. He asked the executing agency to expedite the construction work and complete the building in time bound manner.
The Minister appreciated the people of Gund Hasibhat who donated 2.5 Kanals of land to Higher Secondary School and asked the officials to go for its fencing and also approved a computer lab for the school.
On his visit to Lawaypora, Bukhari announced upgradation of Government High School to Higher Secondary School level. He said that Rs 10 lakh for the construction of third storey of an adjacent building in the compound of GHS Lawaypora stands already released and additional funds shall be mobilized for the completion of the school. He directed the concerned officials to complete the construction work and handover the building to education department at an earliest.
Bukhari said that the female literacy is a priority area and will be taken to new heights in the state as the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is keen towards the upliftment of women in the field of education as well as in other fields.

Can you actually make a living from your new website? Yes, but you need to know how to do it right. Website monetization requires a lot of work and the right tools. That's why here at CodeFuel, we prepared this guide.
Why Should You Monetize Your Website?
The popularity of successful bloggers and content creators may seem that making money on the Internet is simple. Most people think all it takes is to build a website or blog, choose how to monetize it, and sit to reap the earnings.
In reality, more than half of bloggers make less than $5000 a year. And most bloggers quit even before the year. Why?
It is easy to create a website or blog; What is hard is keeping it consistently valuable so you can make money from it.
To make money from your website, first, build your audience. Attract them with great quality content that answers their queries. Remember to be consistent when publishing your content and integrate a social media strategy. If you do this month after month., there is a great chance you will succeed.
Blogging can be a lucrative business, with some bloggers earning six figures a month. Other sites use a combination of strategies from paid advertising, e-commerce sales, and sponsored deals.
Sure, those websites and bloggers spent years building their audiences, authority, and traffic. Some websites and bloggers fail to make money because the site is not going to make money by itself.
It requires creating content, optimizing for SEO, growing your social media base, and engaging your audience. Once you have all this in place, then the money may start coming.
Best Strategies to Monetize a Website in 2023
This section is not a get-rich-quick guide, but following some of these monetization strategies can help you achieve a nice ROI.
Related content: Monetization Guide for Beginners in 2021
1. Pay per Click
In this model, you sign up with a monetization platform or ad network. The network displays your website. Every time a visitor clicks on the ad, you get paid a small fee.
An example of a monetization platform is CodeFuel, which serves relevant ads based on user intent. The advantage of a monetization platform is that it can work with other ad networks and further extend monetization options.
In this model, the ad network or monetization platform acts as a middleman, bridging advertisers and publishers. They take out the hassle of having to find advertisers to present ads on your site. But not only that. Working with CodeFuel – you enjoy smart optimization so that your pages perform even better. Curious to find out more? Contact the CodeFuel monetization experts today.
2. Sell ad space
You should keep in mind the layout and placement of your ads. A cluttered site may put off visitors that may feel it is too salesly. Also, different placements have different rates.
Learn more about how to choose the right ad placements with our guide.
3. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing means you get paid a commission for every referral you make to other businesses.
How does this work with a website? When you sign up with an affiliate network, you get affiliate links that go to the advertiser's site. For instance, if your website is about books, you earn a commission every time a customer buys a book by using your affiliate link.
Affiliate marketing sometimes gets a bad reputation. To succeed with affiliate marketing without risking your good name, you must comply with disclosure regulations.
- Be transparent: disclose any affiliate link or referral relationships you have.
- Target to your audience needs: only recommend products that give value to your audience.
- Don't be too promotional: over-promoting annoys your visitors. And never promote a product that you didn't check or know.
Where can you put the affiliate links?
The links are most effective when they are part of valuable content. Some examples of content you may produce include:
- Product reviews
- Product comparisons
- Tutorials
4. Sell a product
You may already have a physical product to sell. If not, creating and selling a digital product can be a great monetization strategy. A digital product is something that falls under the approach of "create once, distribute forever."
You create the product and promote it to your audience. Some examples of digital content you may sell:
- E-guides, e-books, and audiobooks: if you are an expert on a subject, put your expertise to use in a book and sell it. You don't need to send them to print and distribute your ebooks in digital form. You can also offer printing on-demand or turn your e-guide into an audiobook. Audiobooks offer users the convenience of following a book from anywhere, in the car, on the bus, while working out. That's why they are very popular.
- Build an app or extension: an application can extend the reach of your website. For instance, if you run a fitness website, adding a workout tracking app can increase your earnings.
- Sell merch: popular bloggers and content creators make money also by selling merchandise. While you can see this more with YouTubers, bloggers and niche websites also sell merch, adding an extra income stream.
5. Memberships
Setting up a paid membership can bring you a steady income. You can create a paid gated community where your users can engage in forums, discussion boards, and workshops. If you are geared towards online learning, you can create a paid membership that gives access to varied educational material, like courses, webinars, and podcasts.
6. Build an email list
Email lists are essential for lead generation. But did you know that you can monetize access to your email list? If your newsletter gives value to your users, you charge users to access it. Examples of paid newsletters include The Economist and VeryGoodCopy. You can charge directly or use Patreon to set a sponsorship model.
7. Generate 'Leads' for Other Companies
If you promote other businesses' products on your website, you can use that to generate leads for them. Through content pieces like product reviews or comparison articles, you can direct interested users to a business landing page with a form. There they can opt-in to the business offers. Lead generation services can add revenue to a website. Keep in mind that it can work better if you run a website that specializes in product reviews and comparisons.
8. Publish sponsored posts and product reviews
Publishers often think that adding sponsored content can negatively impact their own content. But in reality, sponsored content adds more value and options to your offer. When you give your users sponsored reviews on recommended products, you give them answers to their queries.
This strategy also helps you grow your site authority, as you provide expert advice for a product or service. In addition, you can offer sponsorship opportunities for your live streams, which is one of the latest trends in content marketing.
9. Put content behind a paywall.
You can create exclusive or specific content and charge for it. This allows you to give them premium content that they cannot get from other sites. This model is popular among research firms (Statista premium) and business publications, like the Harvard Business Review.
10. Monetize your expertise
If you are an individual blogger and an expert in your industry, you can offer your services directly from your site: one-on-one consulting, speaking engagements, or any other service you may like. Your site can be your personal portfolio.
What services may you offer? This will depend on your expertise niche but in reality, the sky is the limit.
Some examples may include:
- Photographers
- Life coaches
- Writers – Copywriters
- Web developers
- Graphic Designers
- Personal trainers
- Fashion stylists
11. Ask for donations
The practice of asking your visitors for donations to support your site has become more popular in the latest years. It may seem unusual, but when you think about it, it gives you a monetizing option without having to fill your site with ads.
Gamers, artists, video, and comic creators are among the types that adapted this method successfully. Photographers on free stock sites would usually add a donation button. Other examples include non-profits and social campaign sites.
12. Launch a dropshipping store
If you want to enter the world of e-commerce without hassling over inventory, shipping, and production, dropshipping can be a solution for you.
When you set up a dropshipping store, your supplier keeps the stock until you made a sale. The supplier also takes care of the packing (with your brand) and shipping to your clients.
That seems easy, and it can make you about $5000 a month, but you need to put in an effort. A successful dropshipping store involves finding reliable suppliers, setting an attractive e-commerce store, giving good customer service, and promoting the business.
13. Launch a course
Online courses are a very popular way to turn your expertise into money. You create the course once, and then you can earn a recurring income every time a user signs up for the course. During the pandemic, e-learning became almost essential, and with the market expected to reach $325 billion by 2025, it is a very lucrative opportunity.
For sites that are suitable for e-learning, you can launch a certification program. For this strategy to work, you need to be an established authority in your niche. Your personal or business brand should be recognized with a solid customer or fan base.
By launching a certification program, you give your users actionable knowledge they can relate to your brand. If you already offer e-courses, you can offer an advanced training program. This method will also strengthen your brand and your authority in your industry.
An example of this strategy is Copyhacker's Copy School. While you can do many of their courses for free, they have a specific certification program for conversion copywriters.
14. Flip and Sell Websites
Website developers can make a good income by investing in websites that are monetizing but require a boost. Then improving them by growing the traffic, raising their value, and sell them. That is called website flipping.
To be successful, you need to select the right website according to the potential of selling it. Ecommerce, financial, drop shipping sites usually get the highest price, according to Empire Flippers. You should check metrics such as traffic, SEO, conversion rates, audience, and monthly revenue.
If you are good at building websites, you can opt for building and selling ready-made websites. Of course, this is not that easy. You need to find a suitable niche, promote it, grow it to make it attractive, monetize the website, and put it for sale. Hopefully, you'll find an interested buyer.
How Many Views Do You Need to Monetize a Website?
For your monetization efforts to be effective, you need a large number of views, starting from 10,000 organic views a month, especially if you are monetizing through an ad network.
Ad networks like Google Adsense pay on average $5 per 1000 views. Therefore, if you are looking to make a full-time income (around $5000/month), you should work on increasing your views to 1,000,000.
But don't get discouraged, because if you have a niche website, there are strategies that can make it work with a smaller audience.
There are companies out there that bring proof that with the right business model, you can make serious money on the Internet.
Top Earning Websites of 2021:
|$107 billion
|$74.98 billion
|$28 billion

Monetizing with banners requires that your website be attractive for advertisers, with a large base of organic traffic.

Even when you cater to a specific audience, your users are all unique. Publishers should customize the ad experience according to different user categories to optimize results. You can do this by using monetization software that displays ads according to user intent.
The Best Tools for Testing Ads
You should test the ads to make sure you have the winning combination in your hands. Typically, publishers and advertisers will use A/B testing to choose what ad version is more effective. You should check the usability, reach, and engagement of your ds.

How to Balance UX and Monetization Effectively

Microsoft has recently decided to undertake changes by giving up some control over its development platform by rendering it to the open source community.
Python and Ruby Released
The code for Microsoft's Python and Ruby was developed for .NET IronPython, and IronRuby and was been distributed under the Apache Software Foundation license. Along with this the company had decided to release Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR). Microsoft had created this to run the common language features. These features have been implemented to keep programming light and scripted.
A Welcome change
Till now the users were able to use these languages and DLR solely under Microsoft's Permissive Licenses. Now with this move the company has convinced the Open Source Initiative to be released officially. This surely would have taken a lot of persuasion from Microsoft's side.
Need of the hour
Microsoft decided to take this move considering the public demand for it. It was noticed that ASF version 2.0 was being used as the license of choice by users of IronPython and IronRuby. This is not the first time Microsoft has used ASF license. In the beginning of this year Microsoft released the Outlook Personal Folders, this one was also under ASF format.
Though this move is a welcome change but one thing which perturbs people is the fact as to why Microsoft did not disclose this move as its other decisions of change, in the past. This week O'Reily Open Source Convention was also released inPortland. If Microsoft was as fair to its image then it would have tried its level best to draw all attention to its change than on OSCON, unlike this time.
One reason for this could be the failure of company's recent projects. The licenses given by the company were a hindrance for the contributing users. Ruby was available under GPL while Python had its personal GPL similar version.
A peep in future
Microsoft wishes that on the DLR front these unique languages should form a part of its Azure cloud.
ASF is believed to be a business friendly license and will be better recognized by the users in comparison to a Microsoft license version.

21.9. Auth and identdAuth is a protocol used to identify a remote user that generated a connection. The protocol is also sometimes referred to as identd, which is the name of a popular Unix daemon that implements it. Auth is used with protocols that do not identify a remote user that is generating a connection. When you make a connection with one of these protocols, the server you're talking to makes a connection back to your Auth server to get the information. For instance, HTTP requests don't include information about the user that made the request, so HTTP servers may use Auth to try to get that information to make log files more useful. SMTP and IRC requests do include information about the user, but that information is directly controlled by the user, who might be lying, so SMTP and IRC servers often use Auth to attempt to get more trustworthy information. Both attackers and network administrators also use Auth for more general information-gathering purposes.
Auth is really useful only if you can trust the remote server. If the people who're trying to lie to you control the Auth server, you're not going to get good information out of it. This means that Auth information may be interesting, but it's rarely trustworthy.
Furthermore, the information that normal Auth servers give out is information that's useful to attackers. The standard implementations of Auth simply give out usernames, and you don't want attackers to know what usernames are valid at your site. Some versions of identd and other Auth servers give out a unique per-user value that is not the username. This is useful to HTTP servers (all they want to know is how many different people are talking to them) and can be useful in tracking back attacks (if you log the value, an administrator at the attacking site can connect it to a username). It can be annoying for SMTP and IRC, which will normally display the value for human beings to look at.
21.9.1. Packet Filtering Characteristics of AuthAuth is a TCP-based service. Servers use port 113. Clients use ports above 1023.
[145]ACK is not set on the first packet of this type (establishing connection) but will be set on the rest.
We do not recommend discarding packets to port 113. If you choose not to permit this protocol, we suggest that you reject the packets with an error response or reset the connection. If you drop packets, you will experience delays when connecting to sites that insist on performing Auth lookups, and this may significantly slow down your electronic mail in particular. See Chapter 8, "Packet Filtering", for more information about ways of responding to packets that you do not wish to accept.
21.9.2. Proxying Characteristics of AuthA number of Auth proxy servers are available, mostly designed to let people use IRC servers that require Auth without giving away too much information. They are not traditional proxy servers; instead of proxying for internal clients, allowing them to make outbound Auth queries, they proxy for external clients, allowing them to make inbound Auth queries. Furthermore, they rarely complete the proxying process by forwarding the queries to the internal host, but reply to the queries immediately, usually with randomly chosen information.
For instance, Microsoft Proxy Server includes a service called "Identd Simulation service" that responds to Auth queries with randomly chosen identifiers. This sort of service is preferable to genuine proxying of Auth queries, which would leak information you probably do not want external hosts to have.
21.9.3. Network Address Translation Characteristics of AuthAuth does not use embedded IP addresses, but it does contain port numbers. Auth will work transparently through network address translation systems, as long as they are changing only the host address and not the port number. On the other hand, Auth connections usually go in the opposite direction from the connections that caused them. That is, an outgoing SMTP or IRC connection will result in an inbound Auth connection; if the network address translation system is mapping ports instead of entire hosts, there will be no mapping for that inbound translation. You may therefore need to do special mappings to get Auth to work. For instance, you may want to direct all inbound Auth connections, regardless of their original destination, to an Auth proxy.

Why Won't My Furnace Turn On? A Michigan Tech Explains
It's frustrating and inconvenient to deal with your furnace not turning on during a cold day so we're here to help you troubleshoot the problem.
The only way you can know exactly what's wrong with your furnace is to have a professional diagnose your system. However, the four main issues that could be causing your furnace to not turn on include:
- Your thermostat is on the wrong settings
- A tripped circuit breaker
- A dirty air filter
- Your condensate drain pipes are clogged
In this blog, we'll look at each of these issues in more detail as well as let you know which of these issues can be fixed by you, and which require a professional's help.
Want a professional HVAC technician to fix your furnace ASAP? Contact Thornton & Grooms. We provide same-day furnace repairs so we'll get your heat up and running again in no time.
Issue #1: Your thermostat is on the wrong settings
Your furnace may not be turning on if your thermostat is on the wrong settings.
If your thermostat is on the wrong settings, it may not trigger your furnace to turn on. To ensure your thermostat is on the right settings, start by:
- Making sure your thermostat is powered on. If the display is off or unresponsive, try switching out the batteries.
- Confirming that the thermostat is set to HEAT and ON. If your thermostat is set to COOL, your thermostat won't tell your furnace to turn on even if the temperature you've set on your thermostat is higher than the temperature in your home.
Issue #2: A tripped circuit breaker
If your furnace isn't turning on, you'll want to check if your furnace's circuit breaker isn't the issue. If the breaker has tripped, power to the furnace will be cut and the furnace won't be able to start up again until the breaker is reset.
To fix a tripped circuit breaker, you'll want to find your home's electrical panel and search for the circuit breaker labeled "furnace." If the switch is in the middle position, it has tripped. You'll want to reset the breaker by:
- Flipping the breaker OFF (to the right)
- Waiting 30 seconds
- Flipping the breaker ON (to the left)
WARNING: If you've reset the breaker already and your furnace still isn't turning on, do not reset the circuit breaker again. Call an HVAC technician for assistance. If the breaker keeps tripping, you might have deeper electrical problems that need to be addressed.
Issue #3: A dirty air filter
A dirty air filter can block the flow of air to your furnace, causing it to overheat and shut down.
To determine whether or not a dirty air filter is your issue, you'll want to start by inspecting your air filter. If your air filter looks like the image below, it's dirty and you should replace it. Once your air filter has been replaced with a clean one, your furnace should start up again. If not, contact an HVAC professional for help.
To prevent your furnace from shutting down due to a dirty air filter in the future, you should switch out your air filter every few months (or when you notice that the filter is dirty).
Issue #4: Your condensate drain pipes are clogged
Most furnaces produce condensation that needs to be drained out of your home so the condensation doesn't leak into your home. The condensation is drained out of your home via two condensate drain pipes.
However, if the condensate drain pipes get clogged with mold or slime, the condensation will back up and potentially cause water damage to your furnace. Luckily, your furnace has a safety device called a float switch that will shut down your furnace to prevent damage if it notices that your condensate drain pipes are clogged.
In order to get your furnace to turn on again, your condensate drain pipes will need to be unclogged. To unclog your drain pipes, contact a professional HVAC technician to inspect the drain pipes and clear any clogs so the float switch stops shutting down the furnace.
