February is Responsible Pet Owners Month! As pet owners, we all want the best for our animals, whether they have fur, scales, feathers, or fins. There is a lot of varying advice and information out there and it can be difficult to determine which recommendations to follow. This is why it’s important for all pet owners to do research on their pet’s needs and to select a family veterinarian that is familiar with their type of pet. Whether you are preparing to adopt your first pet or if you are a long-time pet owner, here are ten ways to tell you are (or will be!) a responsible pet owner:
1. You Invest in Your Pet’s Basic Needs
When adding a new member to your family, it’s important to make sure you have what your pet will need to live comfortably. This includes food and water dishes or dispensers, food, leashes, litter boxes, proper-sized enclosures for smaller pets, and so on! Research your type of pet and make a list of what they will need. It’s also important to clean, update, and replace these items as needed!
2. You Establish a Routine with Your Pet
Having a routine at your house is a good practice for both you and your pet to minimize stress and to create a bond. Routines include meals, bathroom breaks, and regular exercise and/or play times every day.
3. You Take the Time to Properly Train Your Pet
Training pets to obey basic commands and being comfortable around other animals and people reduces the likelihood of your pet getting into things around the house that they shouldn’t and the risk of your pet being injured or your pet injuring another animal or person.
4. You Enrich Your Pet’s Environment
Whether you have a snake that stays in their enclosure the majority of the time or a dog that goes to work with you every day, it’s important to determine what your specific pet’s needs are to keep them comfortable and mentally stimulated to prevent boredom.
5. You Care About Your Pet’s Health
When you first welcome a new pet, you should have them evaluated by a veterinarian that is familiar with your type of pet. General check-ups and vaccinations (if appropriate for your pet) help keep your pet healthy. This also allows you to ask your veterinarian about any questions or concerns when it comes to your pet’s health or behavior. Thorough physical exams, preventative care and vaccinations, and diagnostics (as needed) to catch early signs of a disease or illness will give your pet the best quality of life!
6. You Schedule Regular Vet Visits
Speaking of the vet, it’s important for pets to be seen by a veterinarian annually or semi-annually, depending on your pet’s needs. In addition to keeping your pet healthy, regular vet visits also allow you and your pet the opportunity to establish a relationship with your vet. This way, when your pet just isn’t feeling like himself, your family veterinarian will be able to better recognize the changes, as well as determine treatment plans that work best for your family’s lifestyle.
7. You Prepare for Emergencies
Just like you would for your human members, it’s important for families to prepare for a pet emergency. We recommend having a pet first aid kit, creating a family evacuation plan that includes your pet, discussing any wishes if your pet does face a severe emergency, and having documents that will prepare a pet sitter for a pet emergency. In addition, pet owners should choose to either obtain pet insurance or set aside a savings account for a pet’s medical emergencies.
8. You Pay Attention to Your Pet’s Diet and Nutrition
While pet owners often show their love for their pets through food and treats, responsible pet owners recognize what’s needed in their pet’s diet and what’s not. It’s important to provide serving sizes of the right food for your pet to guarantee your pet is getting the proper nutrition and eating the correct amount of calories. This means avoiding health risks such as pet obesity by refusing table scraps and excessive treats!
9. You Respect Space and Boundaries
When in public, dog owners should have their dogs on leashes and ask before introducing their pet to other pets or people. You should also be familiar with your pet’s social skills and behavior, especially while at the dog park. Owners with indoor pets need to consider their own pet’s stress level and space when visitors and other pets come into the home. Some pets need to be kept in a closed-off, separate room to minimize their anxiety.
10. You Provide Your Pet with Daily Attention
No matter what type of pet you have, you should set aside time in your day to give your pet your undivided attention. This will help you create a bond and show your love!
When adopting a pet, pet owners are accepting a lot of responsibility. If you meet your pet’s basic needs, schedule vet visits, and show a lot of love, we are confident your pet will have a happy, healthy life. Thank you for choosing to be a responsible pet owner!

Here is a letter from a listener, with my response below. If you have any agreements, disagreements, comments or questions, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.org. I’d love to have an argument with you. 🙂
Thank you for the great work you do and your commentary on the show. I am sure you have your hands full and a guy writing in to semi challenge you on something is the last thing you need. I promise this isn’t Larry.
This morning you mentioned and I apologize for not having the text on this. I believe you were asked if we pulled out
One question I think we all would like the answer to is this. Why the hell don’t the politicians understand they need to CUT SPENDING AND CUT TAXES. They all say we will have to cut police and fire, well BS. Cut the waste quit giving us the standard knee jerk Police and Fire BLAH. Please ask that question when you get a chance.
The answer is whether or not the politician views the government as a tool to provide services, or whether the government is to be financially fit, and follow genrally accepted accounting principles. Is it about service

|Revista Forestal Mesoamericana Kurú, v. 14(35).
Calvo-Rodriguez, S, Calvo-Alvarado, J.C, Espírito-Santo, M. M.,Nunes, Y. R. F.

We describe changes in forest structure and floristic composition of three successional stages for Mata Seca State Park, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, through the measurement of all trees greater than 5 cm of diameter at breast height (DBH) of 18 permanent plots (6 per stage) for early, intermediate, and late successional stages of a tropical dry forest during a 5-year period. Using this information, we calculated the Importance Value Index (IVI), Holdridge Complexity Index, Jaccard Similarity Coefficient, and Shannon Diversity Index for each stage of succession. The oristic composition and structure of the successional stages expressed by the Holdridge Complexity Index, showed that complexity increases gradually as we advance through the successional stages, while the Shannon Diversity Index indicated that species diversity was higher in the intermediate stage of succession. The Jaccard Similarity Coefficients showed that the intermediate and late successional stages had high similarity, whereas the early successional stage had low similarity with these two successional stages. Mortality rates were higher in the early stage, especially in


The European Union’s lead data protection supervisor has recommended that a ban on targeted advertising based on tracking internet users’ digital activity be included in a major reform of digital services rules which aims to increase operators’ accountability, among other key goals.
The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), Wojciech Wiewiorówski, made the call for a ban on surveillance-based targeted ads in reference to the Commission’s Digital Services Act (DSA) — following a request for consultation from EU lawmakers.
The DSA legislative proposal was introduced in December, alongside the Digital Markets Act (DMA) — kicking off the EU’s (often lengthy) co-legislative process, which involves debate and negotiations in the European Parliament and Council on amendments before any final text can be agreed for approval. This means battle lines are being drawn to try to influence the final shape of the biggest overhaul to pan-EU digital rules for decades — with everything to play for.
The intervention by Europe’s lead data protection supervisor calling for a ban on targeted ads is a powerful pre-emptive push against attempts to water down legislative protections for consumer interests.
The Commission had not gone so far in its proposal — but big tech lobbyists are certainly pushing in the opposite direction so the EDPS taking a strong line here looks important.
In his opinion on the DSA the EDPS writes that “additional safeguards” are needed to supplement risk mitigation measures proposed by the Commission — arguing that “certain activities in the context of online platforms present increasing risks not only for the rights of individuals, but for society as a whole”.
Online advertising, recommender systems and content moderation are the areas the EDPS is particularly concerned about.
“Given the multitude of risks associated with online targeted advertising, the EDPS urges the co-legislators to consider additional rules going beyond transparency,” he goes on. “Such measures should include a phase-out leading to a prohibition of targeted advertising on the basis of pervasive tracking, as well as restrictions in relation to the categories of data that can be processed for targeting purposes and the categories of data that may be disclosed to advertisers or third parties to enable or facilitate targeted advertising.”
It’s the latest regional salvo aimed at mass-surveillance-based targeted ads after the European Parliament called for tighter rules back in October — when it suggested EU lawmakers should consider a phased-in ban.
Again, though, the EDPS is going a bit further here in actually calling for one. (Facebook’s Nick Clegg will be clutching his pearls.)
More recently, the CEO of European publishing giant Axel Springer, a longtime co-conspirator of adtech interests, went public with a (rather protectionist-flavored) rant about U.S.-based data-mining tech platforms turning citizens into “the marionettes of capitalist monopolies” — calling for EU lawmakers to extend regional privacy rules by prohibiting platforms from storing personal data and using it for commercial gain at all.
Apple CEO Tim Cook also took to the virtual stage of a (usually) Brussels-based conference last month to urge Europe to double down on enforcement of its flagship General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
In the speech, Cook warned that the adtech “data complex” is fuelling a social catastrophe by driving the spread of disinformation as it works to profit off of mass manipulation. He went on to urge lawmakers on both sides of the pond to “send a universal, humanistic response to those who claim a right to users’ private information about what should not and will not be tolerated”. So it’s not just European companies (and institutions) calling for pro-privacy reform of adtech.
The iPhone maker is preparing to introduce stricter limits on tracking on its smartphones by making apps ask users for permission to track, instead of just grabbing their data — a move that’s naturally raised the hackles of the adtech sector, which relies on mass surveillance to power “relevant” ads.
Hence the adtech industry has resorted to crying “antitrust” as a tactic to push competition regulators to block platform-level moves against its consentless surveillance. And on that front it’s notable that the EDPS’ opinion on the DMA, which proposes extra rules for intermediating platforms with the most market power, reiterates the vital links between competition, consumer protection and data protection law — saying these three are “inextricably linked policy areas in the context of the online platform economy”; and that there “should be a relationship of complementarity, not a relationship where one area replaces or enters into friction with another”.
Wiewiorówski also takes aim at recommender systems in his DSA opinion — saying these should not be based on profiling by default to ensure compliance with regional data protection rules (where privacy by design and default is supposed to be the legal default).
Here too he calls for additional measures to beef up the Commission’s legislative proposal — with the aim of “further promot[ing] transparency and user control”.
This is necessary because such system have “significant impact”, the EDPS argues.
The role of content recommendation engines in driving internet users toward hateful and extremist points of view has long been a subject of public scrutiny. Back in 2017, for example, U.K. parliamentarians grilled a number of tech companies on the topic — raising concerns that AI-driven tools, engineered to maximize platform profit by increasing user engagement, risked automating radicalization, causing damage not just to the individuals who become hooked on hateful views the algorithms feeds them but cascading knock-on harms for all of us as societal cohesion is eaten away in the name of keeping the eyeballs busy.
Yet years on, little information is available on how such algorithmic recommender systems work because the private companies that operate and profit off these AIs shield the workings as proprietary business secrets.
The Commission’s DSA proposal takes aim at this sort of secrecy as a bar to accountability — with its push for transparency obligations. The proposed obligations (in the initial draft) include requirements for platforms to provide “meaningful” criteria used to target ads; and explain the “main parameters” of their recommender algorithms; as well as requirements to foreground user controls (including at least one “nonprofiling” option).
However, the EDPS wants regional lawmakers to go further in the service of protecting individuals from exploitation (and society as a whole from the toxic byproducts that flow from an industry based on harvesting personal data to manipulate people).
On content moderation, Wiewiorówski’s opinion stresses that this should “take place in accordance with the rule of law”. Though the Commission draft has favored leaving it with platforms to interpret the law.
“Given the already endemic monitoring of individuals’ behaviour, particularly in the context of online platforms, the DSA should delineate when efforts to combat ‘illegal content’ legitimise the use of automated means to detect, identify and address illegal content,” he writes, in what looks like a tacit recognition of recent CJEU jurisprudence in this area.
“Profiling for purposes of content moderation should be prohibited unless the provider can demonstrate that such measures are strictly necessary to address the systemic risks explicitly identified by the DSA,” he adds.
The EDPS has also suggested minimum interoperability requirements for very large platforms, and for those designated as “gatekeepers” (under the DMA), and urges lawmakers to work to promote the development of technical standards to help with this at the European level.
On the DMA, he also urges amendments to ensure the proposal “complements the GDPR effectively”, as he puts it, calling for “increasing protection for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the persons concerned, and avoiding frictions with current data protection rules”.
Among the EDPS’ specific recommendations are: That the DMA makes it clear that gatekeeper platforms must provide users with easier and more accessible consent management; clarification to the scope of data portability envisaged in the draft; and rewording of a provision that requires gatekeepers to provide other businesses with access to aggregated user data — again with an eye on ensuring “full consistency with the GDPR”.
The opinion also raises the issue of the need for “effective anonymisation” — with the EDPS calling for “re-identification tests when sharing query, click and view data in relation to free and paid search generated by end users on online search engines of the gatekeeper”.
ePrivacy reform emerges from stasis
Wiewiorówski’s contributions to shaping incoming platform regulations come on the same day that the European Council has finally reached agreement on its negotiating position for a long-delayed EU reform effort around existing ePrivacy rules.
In a press release announcing the development, the Commission writes that Member States agreed on a negotiating mandate for revised rules on the protection of privacy and confidentiality in the use of electronic communications services.
“These updated ‘ePrivacy’ rules will define cases in which service providers are allowed to process electronic communications data or have access to data stored on end-users’ devices,” it writes, adding: “Today’s agreement allows the Portuguese presidency to start talks with the European Parliament on the final text.”
Reform of the ePrivacy directive has been stalled for years as conflicting interests locked horns — putting paid to the (prior) Commission’s hopes that the whole effort could be done and dusted in 2018. (The original ePrivacy reform proposal came out in January 2017; four years later the Council has finally settled on its arguing mandate.)
The fact that the GDPR was passed first appears to have upped the stakes for data-hungry ePrivacy lobbyists — in both the adtech and telco space (the latter having a keen interest in removing existing regulatory barriers on comms data in order that it can exploit the vast troves of user data which internet giants running rival messaging and VoIP services have long been able to).
There’s a concerted effort to try to use ePrivacy to undo consumer protections baked into GDPR — including attempts to water down protections provided for sensitive personal data. So the stage is set for an ugly rights battle as negotiations kick off with the European Parliament.
Metadata and cookie consent rules are also bound up with ePrivacy, so there’s all sorts of messy and contested issues on the table here.
Digital rights advocacy group Access Now summed up the ePrivacy development by slamming the Council for “hugely” missing the mark.
“The reform is supposed to strengthen privacy rights in the EU [but] States poked so many holes into the proposal that it now looks like French Gruyère,” said Estelle Massé, senior policy analyst at Access Now, in a statement. “The text adopted today is below par when compared to the Parliament’s text and previous versions of government positions. We lost forward-looking provisions for the protection of privacy while several surveillance measures have been added.”
The group said it will be pushing to restore requirements for service providers to protect online users’ privacy by default and for the establishment of clear rules against online tracking beyond cookies, among other policy preferences.
The Council, meanwhile, appears to be advocating for a highly diluted (and so probably useless) flavor of “do not track” — by suggesting users should be able to give consent to the use of “certain types of cookies by whitelisting one or several providers in their browser settings”, per the Commission.
“Software providers will be encouraged to make it easy for users to set up and amend whitelists on their browsers and withdraw consent at any moment,” it adds in its press release.
Clearly the devil will be in the detail of the Council’s position there. (The European Parliament has, by contrast, previously clearly endorsed a “legally binding and enforceable” Do Not Track mechanism for ePrivacy so, again, the stage is set for clashes.)
Encryption is another likely bone of ePrivacy contention.
As security and privacy researcher Dr Lukasz Olejnik noted back in mid 2017, the parliament strongly backed end-to-end encryption as a means of protecting the confidentiality of comms data — saying then that Member States should not impose any obligations on service providers to weaken strong encryption.
So it’s notable that the Council does not have much to say about e2e encryption — at least in the PR version of its public position. (A line in this that runs: “As a main rule, electronic communications data will be confidential. Any interference, including listening to, monitoring and processing of data by anyone other than the end-user will be prohibited, except when permitted by the ePrivacy regulation” is hardly reassuring, either.)
It certainly looks like a worrying omission given recent efforts at the Council level to advocate for “lawful” access to encrypted data. Digital and humans rights groups will be buckling up for a fight.

Counselling Jarrow Tyne and Wear (NE32): The strains and stresses of everyday life can negatively affect people living in Jarrow, and every now and then we might need a little bit of help to carry on. Occasionally we need help to deal with recurring problems and occasionally an upsetting incident or occurrence will thrust us over the fine line between coping and not coping. Jarroware available to take the strain when it seems like we can't cope with a situation.
Through interactions with the client, an experienced counsellor will give opinions, guidance and direction in accordance with the information they've gleaned. In fact, a counsellor might be looked upon as a life guide.
We're all subject to changes in our lives and can never predict occurrences such as a death in the family, witnessing a shocking event, a period of depression, mental or physical abuse or a relationship break-down. Having a trained Jarrowhandy to help you cope with dilemmas like this is a blessing in disguise. When you are talking to a person who isn't a part of your everyday life it's much less difficult to unburden yourself and put your feelings into words and this is step one on your road to recovery.
Needless to say there are loads of different forms of counselling therapies being offered in the Jarrow area, and the first step would be to schedule a consultation, so that the client and counsellor can have a chat and get acquainted with one another. This will enable the therapist to gauge the requirements of the patient and the patient to feel more at ease in the counselling sessions in the future.
A few of the most most commonplace mental conditions like bad habits, anger issues, stress, confidence and depression, which trouble a significant number of individuals from all areas of life in Jarrow, can also be helped through counselling.
Whenever you are struggling with troubles and challenges, speaking with a counsellor can be an effective way of finding your way through them. It is not really the brief of a counsellor to offer advice as such, but rather to help clients make their own choices and come to grips with their challenges and problems.
It's vital that there's a good level of trust between the counsellor and their client and there always needs to be an agreement of confidentiality that is rigorously respected by the counsellor. This building of trust also enables thepatients to discuss issues of concern that they could find tricky to share with family and friends.
Counsellors in Jarrow are regularly asked for assistance with the issue of panic attacks, and this is certainly a widespread condition in recent times. Recent studies have shown that in any 4 week period, between 1 and 2% of the population has 4 or more separate attacks. A further ten percent request the assistance of a doctor or counsellor, due to occasional attacks that are deemed severe enough to warrant treatment.
This means that if you're in a bustling bar or shop, you are almost certainly a stone's throw from somebody who suffers frequently from panic attacks, and that on its own is a sobering thought. Therefore, it is patently clear that if you are dealing with panic attacks you're far from alone in this. So, what is the answer to this issue?
Listed below are a few pointers that may help you keep panic attacks under control:
- Food colourings can increase the likelihood of panic attacks.
- The way you think about attacks can bring them on, even to the extent that worrying about having an attack can cause you to have one. Therefore realising your own personal triggers can be extremely valuable.
- Numerous sufferers say they have benefited from doing yoga or learning relaxation techniques, and it does seem to be logical.
- There's quite a bit of caffeine in tea, so don't drink too many cups.
- Foods that trigger attacks can be identified by keeping a comprehensive food diary.
- Be mindful of how much coffee and sugar you are consuming.
To give you some control of the sensations and thoughts that come before an attack it's crucial to know the triggers and causes of your panic attacks might well give you an understanding of just what's happening to you. You should be able to get an improved self-knowledge and self-understanding through counselling, and with regards to dealing with panic attacks, these are very formidable tools.
A specialistin Jarrow will be able to assist people from an extensive range of cultures and backgrounds and help with a broad spectrum of stressful issues that they might be facing.
Psychotherapists and Counsellors, What's the Difference?
Whilst trying to find counselling for one of the problems we have mentioned, it is quite possible that you will run into individuals in Jarrow who call themselves either psychotherapists or counsellors, and you may be wondering what the difference is. Well, generally speaking, the line between these professions is somewhat hazy, but, to put it simply, counsellors will typically deal with the current causes of your issues while awill explore deeper into past happenings and the potential explanations for why such problems have come about.
Counselling is of course available to anyone, and regardless of whether you reside in Jarrow itself, or one of the surrounding villages and towns such as West Park, Westoe, Boldon, Cleadon, Wardley, Harton, East Boldon, Pelaw, Simonside, Whitburn, Fulwell, West Harton, Hebburn, Newcastle, South Shields, Heworth, Wallsend, you'll still be able to take full advantage of such vital services. Local Jarrow counsellors will most likely have the postcode NE32 and the telephone dialling code 0191. Verifying this will ensure you are accessing local providers of counselling. Jarrow residents will be able to benefit from these and lots of other related services.
Bereavement Counselling Jarrow
As you might expect, the loss of someone close can affect different folks in different ways, and while certain people are able to cope and move on others will struggle to overcome the situation. One important step that can be done to help cope with your grief is to talk about all those feelings with other people, rather than keeping them inside until you feel about to explode.
The four stages of bereavement are usually looked upon as; coming to terms with your loss, experiencing the anguish and pain of grief, facing life without your loved one in it, and lastly, moving on. You'll have to deal with each one of these as they arise, and realising which phase you're at may help to move from this phase to the next. Although it might seem like a worn out old saying that you've heard lots of times before - time is a great healer. If you need somebody to talk to because you're battling with bereavement, a trained Jarrow bereavement counsellor should be able to help you to live through the worst times, and move forward with your life.

Online and telephone counselling plays an important part in the mental wellness for those individuals in Jarrow who aren't able to participate in one-to-one sessions with a counsellor. Covid-19 disruption and restrictions on meeting people outside of family "bubbles" has created a higher demand for remote online and telephone counselling.
The most crucial aspect of any counselling therapy session in Jarrow is to feel that you're in a safe and secure environment, which includes the discussion being private too. Online counselling make use of an encrypted end to end protocol for the audio and video link up. This ensures that the patient and counsellor can have confidence in the fact that their conversation cannot be recorded or redirected to any other computer network or system. Telephone counselling consultations during a therapy session are also protected due to layout of the communications network and privacy laws which apply to mobile and telephone companies.
There's hardly any difference between telephone or online consultations and a one-on-one consultation; both of them provide a beneficial treatment solution which ensures that anyone can express their problems and feelings of depression, stress, anxiety without prejudice. (Tags: Telephone Counselling Jarrow, Online Counselling Jarrow, Online One-to-One Counselling).
Why Might I Need Counselling?
You might be advised to seek counselling in Jarrow if you have anger issues, need to build your esteem or self-confidence, want advice in relation to your life direction, need help with loss, need assistance in getting over a traumatic event, would like to break a bad habit, need to improve your communication skills, are worried about depression or stress or require advice about relationships.
Finding Ways to Handle Stress
Stress is a thing that will essentially effect everybody to various levels in some point in their lives. And there is never only one cause of stress, there are different things that will effect different individuals. Individuals jobs and money issues are just two of the most common things that trigger stress in individuals lives. But it doesn't matter what the reason, stress is something that most individuals live with, and for some men and women it is something that they deal with every single day. If you're one of the men and women who cope with stress on a regular basis we will be talking about a few things you can do to help deal with it.
You might not realize this but the foods that you end up feeding on everyday can have an effect on your stress. Things like coffee and tea that happen to be high in caffeine can turn out making you more anxious and therefore making you a lot more stressed out. So the one thing you ought to do is to try drinking herbal tea in the morning and throughout the day to reduce your intake of caffeine. Getting the correct vitamins and minerals everyday will also be significant, as this will allow our bodies to work properly to help you fight off stress. Your stress could turn out to be worsened if you find yourself eating nothing but processed foods day in and day out.
One more thing you want to do is to make sure you are receiving exercise on a daily basis. Exercises that actually take a large amount of effort will help you to contend with your stress levels, of course just about any variety of exercise can help. With regards to these intense exercises you will not only find that you are loosing weight, but you will in addition be able to watch your stress melt away. But you also can simply try taking walks, as this too can help you to minimize your stress levels.
You may believe that Yoga is a sort of exercise, but it is really a different sort of thing. By using Yoga to help balance your entire body, you will find that your body is more capable of dealing with stress. Although some meditation techniques will work jointly with Yoga, you will also find that you can work with meditation by itself to alleviate stress. Just about each and every town and city all through the United States will have some kind of meditation or Yoga lessons that you can take. Not surprisingly if you would prefer to do these types of things in the privacy of your own home, you'll find home training courses on the internet for these techniques.
While you will be able to discover additional strategies and techniques to help you cope with stress, the recommendations above will help. There is something that some folks use to try to deal with their stress, but it isn't going to work, and that is alcohol. If you choose to employ alcohol as a treatment for stress you will notice that your stress levels will climb and you now have to handle your stress and a hangover. If you discover that the recommendations above don't help you a great deal, you can use the web to locate various other methods and techniques to cope with your stress.

O's, Rangers Meet For Spot In ALDS
Joe Saunders will start for Baltimore, while Texas counters with Yu Darvish. The Orioles are back in the postseason for the first time since 1997. The Birds battled the Yankees all season in the quest for the American League East Division title before settling for one of the two Wild Card spots this week.
The Rangers squandered a bid for their third straight AL West crown by losing five of their last six games down the stretch. Texas blew a 5-1 lead in a 12-5 loss to Oakland on the final day of the regular season that gave the Athletics the division title.
The Rangers have won the last two American League pennants, but came up short in the World Series both times. The O's last won the World Series in 1983. The winner of this game will host the Yankees in the first two games of the best-of-five AL Division Series beginning Sunday.

In the 1940s, a red-haired, freckled young man, termed "America's newest boyfriend" took the comic book universe by storm. Over the decades, the lovable, perfectly ordinary Archibald Andrews and his equally appealing friends, neighbours and teachers have amused and entertained several generations of teenagers and spun off many successful comic book series.
Archie Andrews and his gang of buddies were created by John L. Goldwater, publisher and editor of MLJ Magazines. Goldwater's inspiration for the stories was the hugely popular Andy Hardy films featuring Mickey Rooney. Archie's personality and looks may have been based on a red-headed friend of Goldwater. The characters were drawn by Montana, with dialogues by Vic Bloom. As the popularity of Archie's adventures soared, the company changed its moniker to Archie Comic Publications. Its headquarters are in the Village of Mamaroneck, New York.
Archie's adventures are set in a town called Riverdale. Betty Cooper, the girl next door and Veronica Lodge, a young millionairess, are respectively Archie's blonde and brunette loves, forever engaged in a battle of wits to win over their innocuous target of fascination. Archie's best buddy is Jughead Jones, whose laidback humour and enormous appetite in a skinny frame made him so popular that he acquired his own comic series. Reggie is Archie's mean-spirited rival in love; other memorable characters from Riverdale High are Miss Grundy, Mr. Weatherbee, Dilton, Moose and Midge.
The lives of Archie and his friends revolve around love, friendship, family, dating, heartbreak and fun, themes that teens around the world can identify with easily. Wholesome, light-hearted yet often astonishingly insightful, Archie comics had a whole pre-television generation hooked on to them, with the characters acquiring the status of cultural icons.
Among well known Archie comic books are Archie (1942-1960) and Archie's Madhouse (1959-1969). Nostalgic readers may be interested in acquiring the Archie Americana Series (June 1995 onwards), a paperback series that offers a history of the publication, notable stories from specific decades and introductions by well known authors. Other collectibles are Betty and Veronica (June 1987 onwards) and Jughead and Friends Digest (June 2005-July 2010).
On July 16, 2010, the United States Postal Service honoured the comic book heroes with the release of a stamp featuring Archie, Betty and Veronica sipping a chocolate milkshake. This year, an Archie Comics #1, published in 1942, sold for R1,332,829.29 at an auction, a record for a comic book which does not include a superhero!
For those of us adults who grew up reading Archie Comics, the characters and stories carry a warm, nostalgic appeal. For some, they're still a guilty pleasure. And why not, there's a little bit of Archie and his friends in all of us!

In what we can only term a Sony Ericsson fail, its new Android phone due out next year doesn't look like it will be coming with.
Instead the Xperia X12, also known as Anzu, will hit the market with Android 2.2 Froyo. It will get an update to Gingerbread, but not until late 2011, according to Russian bloggers mobile-review.com. Sony Ericsson's Android tardiness will be familiar to Xperia X10 owners, who have had to put up with Android 1.6 until the 2.1 update .
Android 2.3 is expected to be available to phone manufacturers before the year is out, and by next summer we will surely see a number of devices released that can run Android 2.3 out-of-the box, so this will put Sony Ericsson significantly behind.
It's a shame, because the X12 hardware looks rather good. Assuming the leaks are accurate, it will be thin and light, with a large 4.3 inch display and an 800MHz processor. But as usual with a Sony Ericsson phone, the camera will be one of its big features, packing a 12-megapixel model that's capable of 720p video recording.
Meanwhile, if you an Xperia X10 or X10 Mini owner on Orange, there's good news, as its Android 2.1 update should have now rolled out to your device, according to a tweet from the company. The instructions to install it are here.
The other UK networks selling the X10 should be offering the update this month, fingers crossed.

Posted September 20, 2020 09:32:10While President Donald Trump’s first 100 days have been a disaster for the country, there are still plenty of signs that he is a true hero.
First, Trump signed a bill that would allow him to claim immunity from prosecution in the Russia investigation.
Second, the president has put his name in the history books as the only American president who didn’t lose his own life during the Sept. 11 attacks.
Third, Trump has also signed executive orders that have put the lives of people living in rural areas at risk.
And fourth, Trump, unlike most presidents, has not given his Cabinet members an opportunity to publicly defend his decisions, even as they have made life difficult for rural America.
Here are seven of the biggest mistakes Trump has made.1.
His decision to build a wall to keep out MexicansDonald Trump’s decision to spend $1.5 billion on a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has become an icon of his presidency.
The president signed the executive order in April, a decision that has created a major headache for the White House, since Mexico had been reluctant to fund the project.
The president signed a separate order in October to build the wall in a manner that makes it easier for him to make a statement to the American people that he’s not willing to pay for it.
The new orders would allow for the construction of the wall along Texas’ U.C.R. 1 and New Mexico’s U.K. border, according to The Associated Press.2.
His false claims that millions of illegal immigrants voted illegallyIn the aftermath of the election, Trump claimed to have seen thousands of undocumented people voting in the U,K., and other states, and to have been unable to find any evidence to support his claim.
But when the AP interviewed several of Trump’s supporters, none of them said they had seen any evidence that undocumented people had voted illegally.
The AP also obtained a letter from a local voting rights lawyer who had seen an affidavit that was signed by one of the alleged illegal voters.
The letter was sent by a lawyer with the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
It said that Trump had “made unsubstantiated claims of thousands of ineligible voters casting ballots in multiple states, falsely claiming that he’d been able to get access to voting rolls without them.
The letter said the affidavits could have been made by someone who was not an official voter and that the people who signed them should be called upon to testify under oath.
Trump’s own election commission, after reviewing the affidavit, said there was no evidence of any voter fraud, and said it had no evidence to back up his unsubstantified claim.
Trump, in a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, also said that the investigation into voter fraud was still ongoing.3.
His pardon of Joe ArpaioWhen it comes to the pardon of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Trump was a champion of his policies.
The former Arizona sheriff and staunch Trump supporter was convicted of criminal contempt of court and sentenced to six months in jail in July 2018 for defying a court order to stop racially profiling Latinos in the Phoenix area.
The Trump administration said the convictions were not based on race.
But in a meeting with a group of Latino advocacy groups, Trump said he would pardon Arpaio, who had faced racial profiling charges in the 1990s, and that he had a “good relationship” with Arpaio, The Associated White House Correspondent reported.
But in the weeks leading up to the meeting, the White Nationalist group had received emails saying Arpaio would be a “hero” if Trump pardoned him.
Trump told the group that he would not pardon Arpaio “unless the U of M got to a place where they could stop all the bad things that are going on,” the AP reported.
And he also told them that he was a “big fan” of Arpaio and that they should work with him.
But Arpaio’s attorneys said that, during the meeting with Trump, Arpaio made a number of racist comments about the people of Phoenix and other communities.
They said that he made racially charged comments about Mexicans and other Latinos, and he made derogatory comments about President Obama and others.”
His use of the “Bowling Green massacre” as justification for a ban on Muslims entering the U., a claim he later backtracked on5. “
It also reveals a desire to advance his political agenda at the expense of justice for people of color and immigrants.”4.
His use of the “Bowling Green massacre” as justification for a ban on Muslims entering the U., a claim he later backtracked on5.
His failure to release his tax returnsWhile Trump has been criticized for refusing to release tax returns, he has made the issue a key part of his campaign, and his refusal to do so is what

The International Christian Concern, ICC, hand-delivered a letter to the Washington D.C. Algerian Embassy.
The letter contained a call to action for President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to reopen churches that were forcibly closed by the previous administration. The open-letter addressed ongoing discrimination of religious minorities in Algeria, then asked that the President "stands with the religious minority communities" and is "committed to championing their right to freedom of religion and belief." It also read, "this is an opportunity for your administration to prove that you are committed to reform and that the injustices of the past will not be perpetrated under your watch."
President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the leader of an authoritarian regime that harassed Christians for close to a decade, ruled before President Tebboune, a professed reformer. Two of the country's biggest churches, alongside seven other churches, were forcibly closed during military government rule during the time between the two administrations.
Despite promising "radical changes," each demand for change was passed on and forgotten. None of the closed churches have reopened as the closure orders have not been abolished.
The protests and calls for reform that drove Bouteflika to resign were now demanding that the new administration under President Tebboune delivers on its promises and its commitment to religious freedom. The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom included Algeria in the Special Watch List of countries experiencing severe religious intimidation. President Tebboune's administration has not given an answer to the letter.

This session took place in the Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation clinic as part of the players after care from their games on the weekend.
Within these 2 hours 1 treated 4 different players. The first athlete was looking to relieve some tension in their neck following a stressful event, to which I gave them a soft tissue massage, mainly focusing on their upper fibres of trapezius, levator scapula and sternocleidomastoid (Bodes-Pardo et al 2013). Following this I treated an athlete who was complaining of their hamstrings feeling tight as they take off to sprint (Nelson, Driscoll, Landin, Young & Schexnayder 2007). To treat this, I did soft tissue release on the athlete’s hamstring. The next athlete was complaining of delayed onset muscle soreness in his quadriceps. This was the same player who stated that I didn’t put enough pressure when massaging him previously. Since then, I had asked his main sports therapist to give me tips, to which he explained that with time I will gradually get stronger, but to ensure I really am pushing through my body as opposed to my arms when applying pressure to the player. I attempted searching online for tips, however I couldn’t find anything that I didn’t already do. When massaging this athlete, he told me that it does feel better then last time. The final athlete wanted me to stretch out his quadriceps, to which I conducted the post isometric relaxation technique. Leaving this clinical session I felt more confident in my knowledge and in my application of treatment.

text: In this paper I regard the Securitate (the Romanian secret police) as an epistemic form through which the socialist state gathered knowledge about reality, while it also performatively sought to create reality in keeping with its ideological presuppositions. More generally I suggest that the Securitate was in fact a form of (social) science deployed by the state in relation to its subjects. Just as any instrument of knowledge, the work of the Securitate was not simply descriptive but also, in the process, it aimed to shape its very object of inquiry. The Securitate was one of the institutions, central no doubt, through which the Romanian socialist state sought to define and protect its own, new, version of reality and social order. From this perspective, far from being an outcome of the socialist power, the secret police was what constituted that power to define and bring into being a new reality. In this process the secret agents played the role of anthropologists of the new world.

Beijing Winter Olympics reveal a very different face of China as during the Summer Olympics in 2008, authorities had not imposed severe restrictions on locals and did not warn visiting athletes over speaking against Beijing. However, this time a lot has changed and Chinese officials have warned athletes not to speak against the country’s law and also made house arrests of local activists whom the communist regime believes might stage protests during the Winter Olympics that might taint the reputation of China, according to a media report.
In 2008, during Summer Olympics in Beijing, the Chinese government announced that it had designated three parks in the capital for anyone wanting to protest during the Games. It seems quaint to recall this gesture these days, as empty as it was. In the end, no protest permits were issued by the local police. The demonstrators who did take the risk during the Games were rounded up and taken away, reported Nikkei Asia
But the moment is worth remembering if only to contrast it with the lead-up to the Beijing Winter Olympics, scheduled to open tomorrow, as organizers warned athletes that their accreditations could be cancelled if they spoke out of turn, said the publication further.
In January, the Beijing organizing committee’s Yang Shu had said that any behaviour or speech that is against the Olympic spirit, especially against the Chinese laws and regulations, is also subject to certain punishment.
The journey from protest parks for locals, albeit Potemkin ones, to “certain punishment” for outspoken foreigners is instructive, and not just because it tells you how Beijing no longer thinks it has to pander to critics of its human rights record, according to Nikkei Asia.
Further, the publication stated that the short decade-and-a-half from the Summer Games to the Winter Games traces the arc of a much bigger story — China’s rising power and its willingness to display it for all to see.
It came after last week 243 global groups including non-governmental organisations have called for action against China over human rights concerns as the Beijing Winter Olympics is set to begin in the first week of February.
“The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will open amid atrocity crimes and other grave human rights violations by the Chinese government, 243 non-governmental organizations from around the world said today. The groups urged governments to join a diplomatic boycott of the Games, slated to begin February 4, 2022, and for athletes and sponsors not to legitimise government abuses,” the Human Rights Watch (HRW) had said in a statement last week.

3t Energy Group’s market-leading training business, AIS Survivex, was crowned winner of the Digital Innovation Award at the SPE Offshore Achievement Awards (OAA’s) in Aberdeen last night for its work with bp on the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) development.
Beating off stiff competition to scoop the title, the team was acknowledged as making a significant impact in the field of digital innovation for the offshore industry, particularly around its work with bp.
bp needed to induct and train operations and maintenance (O&M) technicians for the GTA project – a multi-billion-dollar gas producing asset in Senegal and Mauritania, which includes a floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) spanning a massive 130km in length. The asset is located in the midwater 40km from shore, where it dries and conditions the gas before transfer to a Hub Terminal facility comprising quarters for 216 personnel, utility platform and 650m long terminal facility, protected by a 1.2km breakwater 10km offshore.
GTA was still in construction so a revolutionary two-week ‘blended learning’ induction programme was created, which included a mix of traditional face-to-face training and training with a digital twin of the asset delivered via a specially designed ‘Training Console’ – which acts like a mobile learning centre. The digital twin and Training Console were both developed by sister company, 3t Transform, harnessing the unique capabilities across the Group to create a truly blended learning experience for bp.
Using virtual reality headsets, operations and maintenance technicians were able to fully immerse themselves in the project and learn about its layout, safety-critical operating systems and procedures, as well as conducting a series of competency assessments prior to the project being built.
This innovative project highlights the strength of the 3t Energy Group offering. The Group combines the expertise of AIS Survivex, as well as the world number one in advanced simulator technology, Drilling Systems, and technology and software firm, 3t Transform.
Together these companies are creating pioneering blended learning solutions which are helping the global energy sector work smarter, safer and more efficiently.
Paul Knowles, Vice President of Training at 3t Energy Group, said: “What an amazing result! We are extremely honoured and humbled to win this award in what is the equivalent of the offshore industry’s Oscars – the OAAs.
“Our work with bp delivered ground-breaking results, which ensured maximum learner engagement, strong team dynamic and creation of an unrivalled safety-first culture before the asset was even built!
“This was a true collaboration between ourselves and the bp team and I’d like to extend my thanks and appreciation to all involved for their hard work in making this project such a success. Special thanks go to the bp team for entrusting this important project to us.
“Well done to all the other OAA winners. We now feel part of a very special club representing the best of the best in our industry.”

Tennessee’s loss to South Carolina ends its chances of making the College Football Playoff.
Already sitting on the outside looking in, the only thing the Volunteers couldn’t do was lose, and that is what they did on Saturday.
Regardless of Tennessee’s result, here’s a look at how the rest of the playoff slate did on Saturday.
No. 1 Georgia
In a lackluster performance, Georgia defeated Kentucky 16-6 on Saturday.
Georgia’s quarterback Stetson Bennett finished with 116 yards on 13-19 passing and one interception. The Bulldogs’ lone touchdown came on the ground via a nine-yard run from Kenny McIntosh.
Georgia’s normally stout defense gave up 206 yards on 20-31 and one touchdown to Will Levis.
Obviously not the best performance from Georgia, but they pull out the win.
No. 2 Ohio State
Ohio State pulled out a close game against Maryland 43-30.
The Buckeyes’ quarterback CJ Stroud finished with 241 yards and a touchdown on 18-30 passing. Dallan Hayden finished with 146 yards on 27 carries for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes’ defense gave up 293 yards and two touchdowns through the air to Taulia Tagovailoa.
Ohio State didn’t play its best, but they pulled out the win in the end.
No. 3 Michigan
Michigan escaped a scare from Illinois 19-17 although Bret Bielema blamed the officials for the loss following the game.
Whether it be referees or Blake Corum’s 108 rushing yards, the Wolverines pulled out the win. Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy finished with 208 yards on 18-34 passing.
No. 4 TCU
For about 20 minutes on Saturday, it seemed like TCU was going to fall to Baylor. That wasn’t the case as TCU won the game on a fire-drill-like game-winning field goal. The final was 29-28.
TCU quarterback Max Duggan finished with 327 yards with a touchdown and interception on 24-35 passing. He also led the rushing attack with eight rushes for 50 yards and a touchdown.
The win was ugly for the Horned Frogs, but they won regardless.
No. 6 LSU
LSU hosted UAB for senior night, winning 41-10.
There wasn’t much issue for LSU in a gimme-game. Jayden Daniels finished with 297 yards and a touchdown on 22-29 passing. He also led the rushing attack 111 yards on 12 carries.
No. 7 Southern California
USC barely defeated UCLA 48-45.
Trojan quarterback Caleb Williams finished with 470 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception on 32-43 passing. Williams played like a Heisman contender on Saturday.

Parks Canada works with communities in Nunavut to share knowlege about the Franklin story. Enjoy this sampling of photos from the past few years.
In June 2016, Parks Canada staff brought the Franklin story to Kullik Ilihakvik Elementary School in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Here, a boy tries on a dive mask from Parks Canada’s Underwater Archaeology Team.
During the Parks Canada program at the school in Cambridge Bay, children learned all about underwater archaeology and the 1845 Franklin Expedition. This miniature replica of the bell of HMS Erebus also gave them an opportunity to handle a 3D printed object.
Also at Kullik Ilihakvik Elementary School in Cambridge Bay, children view a photo of Canadian Rangers from Taloyoak who were involved in Parks Canada’s spring 2015 mission.
The special paper used to take notes underwater is always popular with young and old. And what a surprise to learn that the underwater archaeologists write on this paper with a regular lead pencil!
Also in June 2016, Parks Canada unveiled the Inuinnaqtun version of The Franklin Exploration micro-display at the airport in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. The community had a small ceremony with qulliq lighting and drum dancing to mark the occasion.
In summer 2016, the Franklin Interim Advisory Committee, consisting of members from Nunavut and Parks Canada, visited the site of the wreck of HMS Erebus. This view taken from a helicopter travelling to the wreck site shows some of the many small islands in the area.
Louie Kamookak, historian and teacher from Gjoa Haven and a member of the advisory committee, explains that these stone tent rings, providing evidence of encampments, are common throughout Nunavut. They are a visual reminder that Inuit have lived in this area for 5,000 years. While the land may seem open and wild, many have walked here before!
Near the shore of an island, Parks Canada’s Research Vessel Investigator prepares to take members of the advisory committee for an unforgettable visit to the wreck site of HMS Erebus.
This was not the first time that Parks Canada and community members visited the wreck site together. In summer 2015, Inuk intern Theoran Kopak (steering), Ellen Bertrand of Parks Canada (right), Jacob Keanik, President of the Board of Directors of the Nattilik Heritage Centre (left) and Louie Kamookak, historian and teacher at Gjoa Haven (right) travelled to the wreck site for the first time. This visit was a very special one, and Louie performed a traditional blessing to honour his ancestors and the men of the Franklin Expedition who lost their lives in this region.

The Bilbao Final Masters started Saturday and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia got off to a quick start by beating Magnus Carlsen of Norway in Round 1.
The Final Masters was conceived as a championship for the winners of the elite tournaments of the year, including Linares and Corus (now sponsored by Tata Steel, which bought Corus) among others. The idea ran into trouble last year when the prize fund was cut because of the global financial downturn and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, the-ranked qualifier, declined to participate.
The other problem the Final Masters has had is consistency. M-Tel was not played this year, and there have been additions to the list of eligible tournaments, including Pearl Spring and the London Classic. Read more…

LOS ANGELES (TheStreet) -- Nintendo's still on top heading into the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) on June 15 to 17 in Los Angeles, but plans by Sony (SNE) and Microsoft (MSFT) to knock Mario off the mountain are in motion.The state of gaming in 2010 is oddly similar to that of last year -- sales down, with Nintendo products crushing all opponents. At the end of 2009, video games generated $19.7 billion in U.S. revenue, according to figures from NPD Group. That's not as big as the amount Americans spent on personal computers ($28.3 billion), but it's similar to revenue from flat-screen TVs ($21.7 billion) and dwarfs U.S. box-office receipts ($10 billion) and the market for MP3 players ($4.8 billion). It's also, however, down 8% from the $21.4 billion generated in 2008 and down more than 10% in the first four months of this year.

I used to love Arby’s curly fries. What’s not to love? …except for all the health detriments, of course. You don’t even want to know what’s in fast food…but it’s better not to eat it.
Then one day I made these at home, and to me, they taste quite a lot like those curly fries, only with no junk! I love these fries so much. And they are easy. Feel free to top with some cheese or bacon. That really takes them to the next level!
These are oven-baked, so they’re actually really quick to make. Perfect for a week-night dinner.
Recipe Collection: Seasoned Fries
- 4 – 5 medium potatoes
- Sea salt
- 2 – 3 garlic cloves
- 3 – 4 tbsp. avocado oil
Step 2: Put them all on a baking tray.
Step 3: Grate the garlic (or mince). Add the garlic, oil, and salt to the fries and toss them around on the tray to coat them evenly. Avocado oil is really best, because it has such a high smoke point. It also has a nice, neutral flavor, so your garlic can shine!
Step 4: Put your fries in a 350 degree oven. They’ll need to bake for 30 – 40 minutes, stirred at least once so they brown evenly on all sides.
Step 5: Serve the fries hot, just as they are, or add a sprinkle of parsley or cheese (depending on your preference).
Then you wait until they look golden brown, and they’re done! Wasn’t that easy? And yummy! If you want less-easy but amazing fries, you can also try my method for that.

INclusion INcorporated’s Nesreen Ali blogs on Connecting with our Humanity
By Nesreen Ali
COVID-19 has asked us to connect with our humanity. With refrains like ‘masks protect you and me,’ the pandemic has reminded us that protecting others is as important as protecting ourselves.
The exhaustion and overwhelm with being 14 months into a pandemic that only seems to persist dread has deteriorated our mental, emotional and physical resources. Normally, we find it a little bit harder to empathize with others – that takes resources you might not now have.
While many folks living in Canada have access to accurate and clear information on COVID-19, appropriate healthcare, and vaccines, this is not the experience worldwide. With soaring cases and grave impacts of the pandemic in India – it highlights how our collective human experience is not one of equality or equity. Why does this persist as a norm?
Recently in, Calgary a 12-year-old black boy was handcuffed and detained at a playground. The reason? He was a suspect in an ongoing investigation. How do we start to learn from the trauma we cause?
This is part of weaving together the fabric of our humanity. One that is stronger, supportive, and kind. One where the country you were born, the colour of our skin nor who and how you live are reasons for suspicion or neglect. Where belonging becomes a cornerstone instead of othering as our default.
Humanizing is the process of seeing someone in all of their identities (ability, gender, race, sexuality) and celebrating those aspects. Dehumanizing is the process where we make someone’s identity a reason to treat them as less than human. This is a belief that is a part of all forms of prejudice including ableism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.
As many of us continue to work, go to school and interact with our loved ones in an online environment with little human-to-human interaction, it can be hard to see and honour the diversity of our communities’ identities.
These are very hard topics to unpack. They sit squarely in our grief, our stuck emotions about how the world is, how we are collectively grieving the loss of our human connections.
Where is the light at the end of the tunnel? There is one and it’s found in celebrating what makes us human – what makes us diverse. The leaders in this are equity-seeking folks who celebrate joy in their own skin, their wheelchairs, or their kitchen.
To reignite our connection to humanity we need to unwind thousands of years of political, economic, and social injustice. We have to believe in our bones that equity, equality, inclusion, and belonging are things we can create.
You start where? Here. In this moment. In this seed of inspiration. Take a pen and write this down. Set a ‘SMART’ goal for yourself.
- Who will you be as a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion in the next year?
- What do you want to learn about in the next year on your DEI journey?
- How will you contribute to humanizing your world?
- How will you know you achieved this?
- How will you be held accountable for your goal?
- What resources do you need to achieve this?
- When will this be achieved?

SSD Cloning Tools Unleashed: A Comprehensive Guide with Reviews and Recommendations
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, data cloning technology has become an indispensable part of data management. In both daily life and business operations, dealing with the replication, backup, and migration of large volumes of data is common. The emergence of SSD cloning technology provides an efficient, fast, and convenient solution to these challenges.

Principles of SSD Cloning
The core objective of SSD cloning is to achieve seamless data transfer from an existing hard drive to a brand-new SSD, including all data and the operating system. The process begins with the meticulous replication of each bit on the source hard drive. This bit-level copying ensures data accuracy, allowing the new SSD to precisely replicate all information from the original hard drive.
This copying process may involve complex data management and conversion, as different hard drives may use different storage formats or file systems. The advantage of SSD cloning technology lies in its ability to overcome these differences, ensuring that the data structure established on the new SSD is consistent with the source hard drive.
This principle ensures data integrity and consistency. Whether dealing with large-capacity data or complex operating systems, SSD cloning technology efficiently accomplishes data transfer. This precision not only allows users to easily upgrade their hard drives but also ensures the seamless retention of all data and system settings on the new SSD, providing a smoother user experience.
There are various methods for SSD cloning, and users can choose the most suitable one based on their individual needs. Here are three main cloning methods:Using Free Software:
Software options: There are many free SSD cloning software choices, such as Clonezilla, AOMEI Backupper, EaseUS Todo Backup, etc.
- Download and install the chosen free software.
- Connect the new SSD to the computer and open the software.
- Select the source hard drive (existing hard drive) and the target SSD (new hard drive).
- Initiate the cloning process, following the software instructions.
- After completion, verify the cloning results and install the new SSD into the computer.
Hardware choice: Some companies offer docking stations, such as StarTech, JetMedia, etc. These devices are a convenient way to connect an SSD to a computer but may not be professional hard drive copying machines.
- Insert the new SSD into the docking station.
- Connect the docking station to the computer.
- Use cloning software for cloning, following the software instructions.
- Verify the cloning results and reinstall the new SSD into the computer.
Hardware choice: Some companies provide SSD Cloning Machine designed specifically for hard drive copying, such as UReach, etc.
- Connect the new SSD and source hard drive to the hard drive copying machine.
- Start the copying process and wait for completion.
- Verify the cloning results and install the new SSD into the computer.
Each method has its advantages, and users can choose the most suitable one based on their preferences and needs for a quick and convenient SSD cloning process. Thank you once again for your understanding.
Operation of SSD Cloning Machines
SSD cloning machines, commonly known as hard drive copying machines, are specifically designed for cloning SSDs. These machines typically feature integrated designs with professional hardware and software, making the cloning process faster and easier. Compared to general cloning methods, SSD cloning machines provide a more efficient solution.
Among them, the UReach copying machine series is worth mentioning. From the basic portable cloning machine PRO118 to the feature-rich professional multi-interface copying machine PP281, UReach offers various solutions to meet users' diverse cloning needs.
These SSD cloning machines prioritize an intuitive user experience in design, offering a user-friendly interface so that even users lacking professional knowledge can easily handle SSD cloning operations.
In addition to convenience, SSD cloning machines also focus on data transfer efficiency and stability. These machines use professional transmission protocols to ensure efficient and stable data transfer, ensuring the integrity and consistency of the cloned data.
Comparison: Software vs. Professional Cloning Machines
