IMPEACHMENT is one of the few ways a US President can be removed from office - but how does it work?
Here's what you need to know.
What does impeachment mean and how does the process work?
In the US, impeachment is a formal charge of serious wrongdoing against the holder of public office.
It is one of the few ways a sitting President can be kicked out of the White House before an election.
The US Constitution states a President "shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanours".
The "sole power of impeachment" is held by the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Congress.
A simple majority is required - i.e. more than half of Congressmen must vote to impeach the President.
Then the case would be tried by the Senate, the upper chamber of Congress, where a two-thirds majority is needed.
Who has been impeached?
Only two Presidents in history have been impeached, despite numerous threats on others.
The most recent was Bill Clinton, who was impeached in the House on charges of perjury and obstructing justice on December 19, 1998.
It related to his denials of an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
However, when the trial reached the Senate in 1999, it failed to get close to the two-thirds backing it needed to remove him from office.
The other was Andrew Johnson, who served as President for four years from 1865.
He was impeached by the House in 1868, just 11 days after he got rid of his secretary of war Edwin Stanton.
The two-thirds majority needed in the Senate was missed by just one vote.
Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached over the Watergate scandal.
Elsewhere, South Korean president Park Geun-hye was impeached over an alleged corruption scandal following months of protest.
She became the first democratically-elected leader of the country to be ousted from office after judges upheld politicians' vote to impeach her.


Everyone that is at least paying a passing interest in the Chicago Blackhawks this season knows that young Jeremy Morin, aged 19, who was acquired in the Great Salary Dump to Atlanta this off-season, is a young budding flower in the organization’s depth chart. Morin impressed greatly at training camp and even more so in preseason action, even to the point that some *coughcough*ME*coughcough* were calling for him to make the big squad. In the end, young Jeremy was unable to make the starting roster for opening night. However, the Blackhawks have been pretty smitten with the injury bug this season and have called upon Mr. Morin to come fill in when needed, mostly replacing Marian Hossa on the second line.
And therein lies the problem. Jeremy Morin is signed to a paltry 3-year contract in which his cap hit is only $916,666 when at the NHL level. As a rookie, Morin contract only loses that first year if he plays 10 games at the NHL level. So you can see (right?) that it is in the Blackhawk’s best interest, as a constantly dry humping the salary cap team to keep Morin’s cap hit low, meaning they don’t want to burn that first year off the contract until Morin is an everyday NHL player.
We aren’t yet thirty games into the season and Jeremy Morin has already played six games and the injuries don’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. You might ask at this point, why don’t the Blackhawks just call someone else up? At this point, for the role that Morin fills (think Marian Hossa lite), there’s no one else in the system that can do it at the NHL level for even a game or two. Many will yell out the name of Igor Makarov, but it’s been well documented that his complete lack of defensive IQ far outweighs his scoring prowess. Makarov certainly couldn’t fit a Marian Hossa type role.
So the question that’s already being asked, at least around the Blackhawks’ corner of the Twitterverse, is what do the Blackhawks do with Jeremy Morin? Do we let him burn that first year of his contract for most likely less than twenty games played? Do we try to call up others to fill that role when needed?
The answer is, in my humble opinion, you use Morin as much as he’s needed and if you burn that first year of the contract, so be it. The Blackhawks are already chasing points in the muddled Western Conference, and that shows no signs of changing anytime soon. As it currently stands, your defending Stanley Cup Champions would finish tenth in the Western Conference, missing the playoffs. (Note: That is based on percentage of points earned and extrapolating that out.) Paying attention now?
The Blackhawks have been playing better of late, but they’re already chasing points. The slow start to the season coupled with a massive slate of games to open the season just killed them off the bat. Clearly, Coach Q already knows this as well, demonstrating the desperation for points by continually starting Corey Crawford solely based on the fact that he’s winning hockey games. Marty Turco didn’t start against his former team on Wednesday night, that’s how much Q is looking at every point. Even Antti Niemi got the start against the Blackhawks when we played the Sharks despite his woeful start to the season. Crawford is your starter until he loses a game, mark my words.
It’s because of that desperation that the Blackhawks need Jeremy Morin to play. If this was last year’s team, we had all kinds of people to fill in on the second line. Kris Versteeg. Dustin Byfuglien. Hell, even Andrew Ladd could step up there. Right now, there are not as many options.
However, we could also find out what the Blackhawks as an organization thinks of the team in its current form. If the organization truly feels the Hawks are ready and primed to make a Cup run, they’ll continue to call up Morin to ensure they’re putting the best team forward. If, on the other hand, the organization feels that there is no chance for a run at the Cup this year, they’ll save that year on Jeremy Morin’s contract.
So what say you, Chicago Blackhawks brass? Are you prepared to burn a contract year in order to put your best team out on the ice? I’m afraid seeing both Jordan Hendry and John Scott dressing as forwards earlier this season against the Devils has already answered this question.

Washi dress ! I have a thing for dresses with pockets, and this one is just so easy to make. The hem and sleeve facings were hand sewn so it took me a bit longer, but I just like it better this way. And next time I'll have to make the top part an inch or so longer, but other than that I'm really happy with the pattern.
I actually made a Washi top at the end of last summer which I never posted about, but it's one of my current favourites - I'll try to take some photos soon.

Sawyer Brown Is Taking The Stage In The Quad Cities This December
Get ready US 104.9 family, because Sawyer Brown is coming to The Rust Belt! Our friends at The Rust Belt sure know how to put on a show, and this one is going to be huge as Sawyer Brown takes the stage this December.
Tickets are on sale now. You can get them here. Don't miss Sawyer Brown on December 15th! We have your chance to win tickets below!
About Sawyer Brown & The Show
When it comes to the band Sawyer Brown, the story is a great one that many fans know! If you are a fan make sure you catch Sawyer brown at The Rust Belt on December 15th.
More than 4500 shows and counting. More than a million miles behind them and still seeing the highway miles click by outside their bus window. Twenty-three albums. More than 50 chart singles. CMA, ACM, and CMT awards on the shelf. To pull a line from one of the band’s enduring hits: “This is the life and times of a travelin’ band.” A traveling band, indeed. Always on the move—on the road, on stage, and in their career. When asked about what keeps him motivated on the road, lead singer Mark Miller says, “It’s playing the next show. Be grateful for where you’ve been and be excited about where you’re going.”
That excitement has been on display since the very first time Sawyer Brown stepped foot onstage in the early 1980s. Beginning as the road band for another singer, Sawyer Brown broke out on their own playing everything from clubs to pig roasts in those earliest days. “There’s no such thing as a gig we wouldn’t take,” Miller laughs, remembering the beginning of the ride. “We knew that we wanted to play music and we knew that we wanted to work at being the best live band there was—and the only way to do that, was to get out and play shows. And so we did.”
It would certainly be an understatement to say that Sawyer Brown has “played shows.” The band has earned its place as one of the premier live acts in music. The band began by playing 275-300 nights a year for the first decade or more of its career—and has never come off the road. Tireless road warriors, the band thrives on playing live. “Live is where it all comes together for us,” keyboardist Hobie Hubbard says. “The audience brings its own energy, we bring our own energy and the music—and the combination of all of that is what makes playing live so unique. It exists for that moment in time—you’re either there, or you’re not a part of that moment. We’re blessed to be able to be a part of those moments night after night.”
The band’s live shows are legendary. Having been described as “the Rolling Stones of Country Music,” the band bounds onto the stage night after night, delivering its own unique brand of high-energy entertainment, and the band remains a perennial favorite at fairs, festivals, theatres, and casinos. “We love getting to hear the stories of where people have seen us play—and the number of times they’ve seen us play,” drummer Joe Smyth says. “For some, we’re their weekend getaway—they’ve seen us all over the country. But we never lose sight of the fact that on any given night, it’s going to be the first time someone’s seen us—and that’s exciting. We want that show, that night, to live up to everything they hoped for when they came to the show. Couldn’t ask for better motivation.”
The show is on December 15th. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now. You can get your tickets here. Tickets range from $35.75 to 45.75. Enjoy the show!

Reasons emerged on Sunday why the Rivers State Government declared a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Eleme Local Government Area wanted.
Princewill Osaroejiji, the newly elected youth leader of the Party in Eleme Local Government Area, was declared wanted for allegedly “various criminal activities” in the area .
A statement by Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, the state’s commissioner for information said a bounty of Five Million Naira was also place on his head.
The statement also said that Prudent Hotel, Alode, Eleme and Etemeteh Hotel, Onne are to be demolished for flouting Government directive on the closure of hotels in the State.
Theportcitynews.com gathered from sources that the father of 5 was declared wanted after a fight with the local government’s covid-19 taskforce team.
According to a source knowledgeable in the matter, Osaroejiji fought with the Taskforce team over insistence that the hotels which he allegedly had stakes in be shut down following the state government’s directives.
The source said that due to the fact that he was just inaugurated a few days ago as the party’s youth leader in the LGA, his interference in the activities of the Taskforce was viewed differently.
She added that the failure to resolve the dispute locally led the LGA to report the matter to the state government.

In a new article based on a journal review, Dan Romer wrote about the problematic stereotype of the "wild teenage brain." He said much of what's mistaken for risky behavior is part of a normal exploratory drive.
Marin P. Allen, a former top communication official at the National Institutes of Health, has joined APPC as a 2017-18 visiting scholar and is teaching a course in health communication at the Annenberg School.
APPC research director Dan Romer discussed a recent article contending that a lot of seemingly risky teen behavior often attributed to an imbalance in brain development is actually part of normal development.
A popular theory in recent neuroscience proposes that slow development of the prefrontal cortex explains teenagers’ seemingly impulsive and risky behavior. An extensive literature review challenges that interpretation.
Oxford University Press has published the second edition of 'Treating and Preventing Adolescent Mental Health Disorders,' an update to the acclaimed book.
A study finds that early drug use strongly predicts substance abuse only if it’s followed by continuing drug use. Early experimentation with alcohol or marijuana isn't necessarily a risk factor for addiction.


Burger King’s U.S. restaurants are now offering a Whopper with red buns, the chain announced Tuesday.
In a news release, the chain says “the Angriest Whopper” will consist of “flame-grilled beef, piled high with thick-cut bacon, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, crispy onion petals, jalapeños, creamy mayonnaise and spicy angry sauce all layered between a fiery red bun that has hot sauced baked in.”
The limited-time menu item, which will cost anywhere from $5.49 and $7.49, has launched six months after the chain rolled out a burger with black buns with A.1 sauce baked in, following a test at Burger King Japan locations featuring buns, cheese, and ketchup made from squid ink and bamboo charcoal.

Rumours of Sony's PS4 virtual reality headset have been running rife since last year, but now an inside source has told TechRadar that they've spent some time with the helmet behind closed doors - and it's almost ready to be revealed.
Our confidential tipster said that they were impressed with the quality of Sony's Oculus Rift competitor. "The quality and resolution are really, really good," they said. "People will definitely be impressed with what Sony's built".
They also told us that they understand Sony plans to announce the headset at GDC 2014, which kicks off in San Francisco on March 17.
Virtually just around the corner
With rumours that Sony might show off some VR games at E3, it makes sense for it to unveil the headset beforehand and keep Las Vegas focused on the software.
Talk of Sony's headset surfaced last year with word that we'd see it unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show, something that never materialised.
Our source told us that "Sony has deliberately taken its time to tweak and polish the headset before revealing it", rather than taking Oculus's approach of releasing the Rift to developers in stages.
Oculus Rift recently told TechRadar that it saw the PS4 and Xbox One as too limited for its headset, so it's good timing for Sony to swoop in and give console gamers a dose of virtual reality.
We approached Sony regarding this story, but it refused to comment.

Types of Passionate Relationships
There are several several types of romantic relationships. Some are much healthier and harmonious than other folks, but in basic, they share some of the same characteristics. A few discuss ukraine dating site each type much more detail. A nutritious, harmonious marriage makes you go “Aww! inch and green with be jealous of. While excellent love fails to exist, the closest issue is a relationship with smooth, kind, and loving companions who sacrifice for each other and have their spouse-to-be’s best interests planned.
A just-for-now relationship is a affair between a couple who are definitely not interested in long-term commitment. A just-for-now spouse is ideal for those who are in the middle of a breakup or perhaps trying to adjust to being one. While all relationships have got a lessons to offer, a just-for-now partner should have company boundaries and consider giving a difficult relationship. Human relationships are unique mergings of two people.
A dependent marriage is one out of which one spouse completely depends upon what other pertaining to decisions. While it may not be as detrimental as a controlling relationship, it might lead to decrease self-esteem in both parties. Principal relationships tend to be rooted in trust issues and a need for electricity. A recent reduction or parting could also bring about a primarily based relationship. However , dependent associations often think empty after a while. If this is the case, it can time to consider other options.
The four most popular types of romantic human relationships are marital relationship, friendships, and platonic interactions. Many more intricate and refined types of relationships are available. For instance , platonic relationships incorporate friendships with people of the same or reverse sex, and also those between coworkers and other settings. These kind of relationships usually are necessarily romantic, but they may be romantic. As well as subtypes of every of these types of relationships.
A “romantic relationship” is generally considered a long lasting commitment. Dedication requires spending some time with one another and working to maintain and develop the bond between them. Each time a romantic relationship can last a long time, there are a variety of factors that determine it is quality. You have to know what you are considering before you decide over a romantic relationship. If you’re in doubt, speak to someone who has knowledge in the same situation.
A different type of relationship can be long-distance. The 2 people included live in unique states and so are unable to meet up with in person. Consequently , long relationships commonly consist of names and text messages. They can last for years, but typically end in desperation. In addition , long-distance associations can be very pricey. Unless they’re long-term, long relationships aren’t for everyone.
Polygamy and monogamy are two major types of relationships. Monogamy is certainly when a couple are betrothed, and polygamy is every time a man or woman unites more than one person. Wedding ceremony ceremony is known as banns and it is a formal announcement of intention to marry. However , in some cases, polyamory may be the only type that prevails, and you can even marry more than one person. For anybody who is looking for a romance, you can decide to get monogamous or perhaps polygamous.
A toxic romance can be draining and mentally exhausting. It may cause you to feel misunderstood, shy, and unsupported. Toxic romantic relationships tend to include low levels of respect, jealousy, and trust issues. In the event that these features are present in your relationship, you must avoid these kinds of relationships. They can even have an effect on your physical health. You will need to make sure your partner has healthy boundaries, a supportive environment, and great interaction.

Stan Wawrinka produced an impressive display to beat former world number one Daniil Medvedev for his first top-10 win since 2020 in Metz on Thursday.
The three-time Grand Slam champion, currently ranked 284th in the world after injury problems, missed a match point in the second set before winning 6-4, 6-7 (7/9), 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals.
Wawrinka came through two rounds of qualifying to make the main draw of the ATP event and has now won four straight matches.
“I’m very happy with the level of play that I managed today,” said Wawrinka, who missed 12 months from March 2021 with a tendon injury.
“It’s for moments like this that I did everything to come back.”
Top seed Medvedev hit back in a dramatic second-set tie-break in a topsy-turvy contest.
Wawrinka saw two break points for a 4-0 lead in the decider come and go before being pegged back to 3-3.
But the 37-year-old held his nerve and broke again, completing the victory on his third match point.
“Stan was better than me and he won,” said Medvedev. “I tried to hang on. I had opportunities but it wasn’t good enough.
“But respect to Stan, I didn’t think he was 37.”
Wawrinka will next face Sweden’s Mikael Ymer in his first ATP quarter-final since January 2021.
Earlier Thursday, second seed Hubert Hurkacz ended former US Open champion Dominic Thiem’s run with a 6-3, 6-4 success.

I Cooked a 12pd brisket first time I used the grill. Smoked it for seven hours, the temperature was easily maintained an everyone loved the smoked flavor. The unit is a lot heavier than it looks, but I still wish the steel were thicker. Also be careful with the fire box, there is no lip and the door does not seal so hot ash can fall out if your not paying attention. Btw, if you have a gas pressure gauge on your bottle the gas line is the perfect length.
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY HUSBAND LAST FATHERS DAY AND IT STILL LOOKS GREAT! USES IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK, EVEN IN THE WINTER! BY FAR THE BEST COMBO OUT THERE. WE EVEN SMOKED BOSTON BUTT! FILLED THE WOOD BOX UP AND IT SMOKED ALL NIGHT! BUILT GREAT! DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THIS YEAR TO BEAT THIS GIFT!
We are very happy with the purchase but it took a while for academy to have it Available
I bought the grill for my wife. She loves it! The grill arrived earlier than the expected date, so delivery was great! It took a little longer than expected to assemble but that was ok. Even though the griddle is oiled and covered it still gets rust. We ordered the cover specific for this grill. Overall, very pleased with our purchase and we love shopping Academy!
Purchased 2 from the Palm Bay Store, and couldn't be happier. Heavy all welded construction, After seasoning ( 3 coatings of safflower oil), put them to work the next day. After getting to know the ins and outs of this over and over design, I couldn't live without it now. The briskets, ribs, Boston Butt, came out to perfection. Well worth the money!!!
Just got mine for Christmas and I have to say I am blown away by its performance and overall build quality!! It is a custom looking setup and its the first I have ever seen like this. Great heat & smoke distribution and lots of cooking space (I can fit about three full briskets in the smoker!). I might make a few minor mods but nothing too major. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an upgrade from the basic smokers on the market without killing the bank account.
I've had this grill for half a year now. It's good. I don't know about 16 burgers at once though LOL, maybe my burgers are just big. Either way, I use it for meals and gets the job done. I have a propane - huge- event grill that I was using, but this is better for just the family. About lighting the coal, I have no idea what the person in the other review is doing wrong. There is a trick to opening the bottom, you have to kind of lift, then pull to open it. I though it was stuck the first ... time, then I figured it out. I've cooked steaks, burgers, roasted chile, etc... The little temperature gauge helps out too.
I have had this grill for 4 years and enjoyed using it. I just bought another one yesterday and I will give the old one to my grandson. He loves grilling.
Really does keep your meat moist! Not sure why they say spicy. Not hot at all! Kids love it on their chicken! I love it on everything! Best ribs ever!
Our family has used this seasoning for years. We put it everything.
The deep fryer was great the only problem the pan was dent and it's hard to put the other pan inside of it
I bought this cooker a couple of months ago to aid in making European Deer skull mounts. It works great for this task. It is a good propane cooker for the price. It would be better for fish fry's and low country boils if the pot were a little deeper. As for Academy, the item shipped out quickly, had the best price on the internet and the item was exactly as advertised.
This should of been the standard issued type of grill that would be in all Char-Broil Bar-Be-Que grills. Instead, we had an additional costs to replace the clog prone, cheap type that was issued. Read your reviews on how others had the same problem.
I have been fighting the old style wire grates for a long time. the new coated Grates do a great job, and are essentially self cleaning, and it fits my older Charbroil Grill
I love the look of this brush. Academy used to offer a full set. What happened?? Bring it back! It has a classic look and and it's durable
Ever since I brought this item, while cooking items I've notice my grilling doesn't stick on the BBQ grills. It's easy and keeps my grilling clean. I strongly recommend this item to everyone. You won't regret it and it's money well spent.
Just brought his griddle yesterday. Don't think that I will regret this purchase. Already cooked hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks on it. Breakfast in the morning! Also easy clean up.
This little griddle is perfect for making all sorts of different dishes, great taste, loving it!
I bought this for a Christmas present and it is the best present and smoke we have ever had. With a large family, this smokes perfectly no matter what is inside, ribs, salmon, cheese, beans, roasts, even hot dogs and sausages. I with there was a way to add chips without burning fingers but otherwise, best smoker, yet!
I got this smoker for Christmas. Looked online at several makes and models of smokers and decided this was the most economical. I have been smoking meat on a Master Forge charcoal grill and, despite reviews complaining of smoke leaking around the lid and poor craftsmanship, I enjoyed smoking indirectly on mine (still have it and use for grilling). The only problem was there wasn't enough room when cooking for a larger crowd, so I was looking for something bigger. My youngest son and I put it ... together in a little less than an hour. This included laying out all the parts, reading over all the instructions first (not very manly, I know), and then stopping for some general father/son talk. One thing I noticed on some older reviews was how people turned the unit upside down as a part of the assembly and the doors fell off. I guess they've added Step 1A because it reads, "Remove the doors..." I used a Craftsman cordless drill with the clutch set on 10 and made fairly quick work out of assembly. After assembly, I seasoned the smoker per the intructions. Because of other reviews I had read, I went ahead and bought an oven thermometer. This particular model had a small wood chip tray. Others beng reviewed showed a round chip PAN. This is where some had placed a round skillet to hold wood chunks (one guy suggested lava rock and placing wood chunks on top). All of this was done to combat flare ups. However, with this model, the chip tray didn't flare up. Smoke lasted about 30-40 minutes and I could easily add chips (Get a pair of heat resistant gloves-- much better for doing this). Unless you remove the water pan, I'm not sure there is enough room to put a skillet in order to use wood chunks. There was some smoke leaking around the door, but it really didn't amount to much. The flow of smoke from the bottom through the top vent was extremely sufficient. I've never cooked with gas before -- grill or smoker, so I wasn't real sure what to expect. The outside temp and wind play a much bigger role in this unit than what I was accustomed to on the charcoal grill/smoker. I was able to put up a small piece of plywood to keep wind from blowing directly into bottom vent. Top temperature I got to was 275 with outside temp at 45+/-. This was fine since I only wanted 225 for smoking Boston butts. I cooked ribs a few days prior with a warmer outside temp (65 +/-) and initially ran the cooker up to 350. When assembled, I could get it up to 400 degrees with outside temp of 75. All that said, the temperature was easy to control and it held steady at 225 and 250 depending on what I needed at the time. You can't put meat in this unit, turn on the burners, and walk away. You'll need to check on it for adding wood chips, checking cooking temps, ...etc. There have been reviews upset about having to tend to this. This is not a commercial smoker. It's a metal box with a door, a window, and a propane burner at the bottom. It is not a commercial cooker. If you don't want to spend some time during the cook, you should probably just go buy your bbq and ribs from your local BBQ restaurant. The is a great smoker for the money!
I purchased this to brew beer. Works great for doing a full boil. Nice solid construction. Much thicker than a standard turkey fryer pot. Bottom is nice and flat. Heats up fast. Anything priced comparably online did not come with a lid and had mixed reviews. This comes with a lid and a strainer. Very pleased with my purchase.
I was looking for a new pot to boil crawfish and shrimp in, but i wasn't sure of the size. This size works perfectly for our family. I can do plenty for a group with this pot, but it's not so big that i can't use it.
First I need to say how great the service at the Tuscaloosa, AL Academy is. Went in on July 3rd looking for a grill. Being the day before the 4th, I didnt expect the selection to be good. Found the grill I wanted on their display board, but there wasn't one on the floor. An associate asked if he could help me right of way. He found the one I wanted in the back, loaded it in my truck and even asked to tie it down for me. I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Great service. The grill is great. ... Perfect for what I needed. Seems to be of good quality. Big enough to grill alot or put charcoal to one side and grill a little. Grilled burgers and hot dogs on the 4th and just grilled some fillets and chicken. Had no complaints from family, must have been pretty good. Thanks Academy for the great service and products.
The grill I purchased came on the date they set thru FedEx.I was very pleased with the help I got 1at store because they didn't have any in stock.Tnx guys
I purchased this on-line because we couldn't seem to find it in the store. Order processing was extremely easy, arrived quickly. We really like the side table attachment for ease when handling large pots.
This burner is not only stylish but functional! Definitely recommend!
This is one well made smoker like the thought of a stand up one but never would have guessed I would be this impressed. 1st it built really well it doesn't leak much from the door which is really surprising, 2nd the fire box is big enough and so easy to operate and once again tight seal I didn't even see and smoke come from it
Bought this today got some wood in it and it seasoned perfect at 225-245 with a perfect blue smoke. Looks to hold alot and seemed very well built. Will be adding a few hangers here and there and a handle to wheel onto a trailer but well worth the money.
Bought this cover for myself and one for a gift about 3 weeks ago. Overall I like it. Only one complaint is that the inside texture is chipping and falling away making it thinner.
If you have a griddle and leave outside the cover is a must in order to keep and take care of griddle.
So I had bought the infrared portable grill and had purchased a universal 4' hose. Well I had nothing but issue with it staying lit with the slightest winds. So I called customer service and explained the issue I've been having. She researched different issues using the process of elimination. Finally we got to the point of it has to be the hose. So she said if you buy this hose and it does not work we will refund the hose and send out a replacement grill. Well it took about 7 days and I ... received the hose. I'll tell you what I have fallen in love with this infrared portable grill by Char Broil. Absolutely a great product that leaves all my grilled meats nice and juicy! Thanks char broil
Hooked up and grilled many steaks already! Turns this portable grill into a patio/deck grill.
I bought this cover about a month ago now and in that time it has been rained and hailed on about 10 times, and you wouldn't even know it. This cover should last at least a few years. In my book $20 lasting over a year is a heck of a deal these days. The only thing I would change is I wish it had a drawstring to tighten it up at the bottom, but I just use a bungee cord. Built in would be nicer but I'm not complaining. Hopefully this cover is still around in the next few years when I need another one.
I am very happy with this XL Heavy Duty Smoker cover. It is exactly what the company said it was. It fits and is hefty. Thanks!
Outdoor barbecues are a cornerstone of summer. Prepare juicy hamburgers, sizzling hot dogs, marinated chicken breasts and other savory meals with our wide assortment of grills. Propane and natural gas grills quickly fire up, which is great when you want to eat in a hurry. Charcoal grills cook with pieces of charcoal, adding a smoky flavor to dishes.
Make moist, flavorful meals with meat smokers that deliver low temperatures over an extended period of time, trapping smoke and moisture into food items. Deep-fry an entire turkey in large-capacity fryers for serving on holidays or at large gatherings. For a healthier alternative, choose an oil-less fryer that uses infrared heat to penetrate foods evenly, so you can enjoy the savory flavor of fried food without all of the added fats and oils.

The CPU World
Entering the world of computer components, specifically CPUs, can feel like diving head-first into a vast ocean. The choices are myriad, the specifications can be baffling, and the stakes feel high – your computer’s processor is its brain. But before plunging in to buy a computer processor, it’s essential to arm oneself with knowledge.
Understanding the Basics: What is a CPU?
Often dubbed the computer’s brain, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is paramount for executing instructions. Every action, from browser opening to running complex simulations, passes through the CPU. A computer’s performance is tied directly to the CPU’s efficiency and power. Simply put, a more powerful CPU can handle tasks faster, offering a smoother user experience.
Key Considerations Before Making a Purchase
Price vs. Performance
When buying a computer processor, it’s tempting to gravitate toward the most expensive option, often perceived as the ‘best.’ However, the most expensive CPU might offer features and power that the average user might never utilize. It’s about striking a balance – achieving the power you need without breaking the bank. A mid-range CPU might suffice for a regular user, but for someone into high-end gaming or 3D rendering, a high-end CPU becomes a necessity.
Clock Speed & Cores
At its core (pun intended), a CPU’s primary specifications are its clock speed and number of cores. Clock speed, measured in GHz, indicates the number of cycles a CPU can execute per second. While a higher clock speed often results in faster single-threaded tasks, modern applications and multitasking demand multiple cores. Having multiple cores means the CPU can handle several tasks in parallel, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth performance.
Compatibility & Motherboard Socket Types
Not all CPUs fit all motherboards. Different CPUs require different ‘sockets’ on the motherboard. Before buying a computer processor, always check its socket type and ensure it’s compatible with your motherboard. This compatibility ensures seamless communication between the CPU and other components.
Future-proofing Your Investment
Technology advances at a blistering pace. Today’s top-of-the-line might become tomorrow’s average. When buying a CPU, consider its longevity. Opting for a slightly advanced model can ensure your computer remains relevant and efficient in the coming years.
Popular Brands & Recommendations: Navigating the Titans of the CPU World
In the bustling world of computer processors, two names often resonate above the rest: Intel and AMD. Think of them as the Apple and Samsung of the CPU domain – both giants, both brimming with innovations and commanding their own loyalists. But as a consumer, how do you pick between these titans? Let’s dive deeper.
Intel: The Stalwart Pioneer
The Legacy: Intel has been a forerunner in the CPU world for decades. Many might even remember the iconic “Intel Inside” chime from older computers. Intel’s processors have powered countless machines, from humble home desktops to high-tech workstations.
Performance: Intel’s high-end CPUs, especially from their i7 and i9 series, are renowned for their single-threaded performance. Intel often shines for tasks that demand raw power from one core, like certain games.
Integrated Graphics: Most Intel CPUs come with integrated graphics, which means you can still run basic graphics tasks reasonably well, even if you don’t have a dedicated graphics card.
Things to Consider:
Intel CPUs tend to be pricier, especially their top-tier ones. While they offer robust performance, ensure you need that power level to avoid overspending.
AMD: The Resilient Challenger
The Comeback: There was a time when AMD played second fiddle to Intel. But with their Ryzen series, they’ve made a roaring comeback, challenging Intel’s dominance and often outperforming them in various benchmarks.
Value for Money: AMD often provides better bang for your buck, especially with their mid-range CPUs. They offer multiple cores and threads, making them perfect for multitasking and applications like video editing.
Innovation: AMD has been at the forefront of introducing high core and thread counts to consumer CPUs, catering to gamers and creators.
Things to Consider:
Earlier versions of AMD CPUs had heating issues, but recent iterations have significantly improved. Ensure you have proper cooling, especially if you push the CPU hard.
How to Choose?
Know Your Needs: Are you a gamer looking for the highest frames per second in the latest titles? Maybe Intel edges out for you. Are you a budding filmmaker who needs smooth video editing? AMD’s multi-core prowess might be your best friend.
Budget Matters: While both brands offer CPUs across various price points, AMD usually provides more cores for less money, especially in the mid-range segment.
User Reviews: Specifications and benchmarks give part of the picture. Dive into forums, watch user reviews on YouTube, and understand real-world performances. Often, you’ll find golden nuggets of user experience that spec sheets can’t provide.
Future-Proofing: Both companies release new CPUs and architectures regularly. Look for a processor that won’t feel outdated in a few years. Sometimes, investing a tad more now can save a future upgrade.
Cooling: Keeping Your CPU Cool Under Pressure
Imagine working out. The harder you push yourself, the more you sweat, right? Similarly, the harder a CPU works, the hotter it gets. And just as we need to cool down after a tough workout, CPUs must be cooled down to function optimally.
Why is Cooling So Important?
A CPU getting too hot can decrease performance, system crashes, or even long-term damage. That’s why every CPU comes with a cooling mechanism. It’s like a mini fan, ensuring your CPU doesn’t get too worked up.
Stock Coolers vs. Third-Party Solutions
Most CPUs come with a ‘stock cooler’ – a basic cooling solution the manufacturer provides. This might be enough for general users who aren’t pushing their computers to the limit.
However, a third-party cooling solution might be the way to go if you’re a gaming enthusiast, a professional video editor, or someone who demands a lot from their computer. Think of it like an advanced cooling system, ensuring your CPU stays chilled even under immense pressure.
Power Consumption: The Energy Appetite of a CPU
Each CPU has its energy appetite, which is its power consumption. If you’re environment-conscious or just looking to save on electricity bills, you’ll want to pay attention to this.
Why Power Consumption Matters
Higher power consumption doesn’t just mean a higher electricity bill but also more heat generated. And as we’ve already learned, more heat can be a problem. So, an energy-efficient CPU can be a two-fold win: saving you money and reducing the need for aggressive cooling.
Overclocking: Unleashing the Beast Within
You might’ve heard of car engines being turbocharged for that extra kick. Overclocking is somewhat similar for CPUs. It’s like unlocking a hidden beast mode, pushing the CPU to run faster than its default settings.
The Pros and Cons of Overclocking
The Upside: You get enhanced performance without buying a new, pricier CPU. Your games might run smoother, your software might function faster, and your computer feels zippier overall.
The Downside: Overclocking can be a double-edged sword. While it boosts performance, it also increases heat and power consumption. Remember our workout analogy? Pushing the CPU harder means it gets hotter and thirstier for power. Plus, not all CPUs are designed to be overclocked, so you’d need to ensure yours is.
Importance of Reviews & User Experiences
Numbers and specifications provide a part of the story. However, users’ real-world experiences offer insights unattainable from spec sheets. Before you buy a computer processor, delve into reviews, forums, and user testimonials. These provide a clearer picture of performance, potential issues, and overall satisfaction.
The quest for the perfect processor can be labyrinthine, but the maze becomes navigable with the right information and clarity of purpose. It’s not just about the impulse to buy a computer processor; it’s about making a choice that aligns with your needs, budget, and future requirements. With diligence and research, you can make a choice that serves you well for years to come.


Southwark Council and Team London Bridge are working together to bring more greenery, better flood management and safer streets to the area of Snowsfields, Melior Place and Melior Street. They are acting to make the city more resilient to the effects of changing and unpredictable climate. The work is supported by funding from Thames Water to help reduce storm water going directly into the drain. Two brand new sustainable drainage schemes have been created, with beautiful raingardens being the visible representation of some complex drainage systems below ground.
The session will hear from Aecom and Conway drainage experts about how the system works and why this engineering solution was chosen to mimic natural run off. The engineering will be explained, and the challenges of delivering the work. Team London Bridge and Southwark Council will also discuss the multiple benefits being accrued from the scheme, and local feedback.

Roberts Rolls to Buick Classic Lead
Michael Muehr, Jerry Kelly and Bob Heintz are alone in second place at 6-under par, followed by Chris Smith and David Gossett, who share fifth at minus 5.
Roberts, known as the 'Boss of the Moss,' lived up to his nickname Thursday. He needed only 24 putts to make his way around the West Course at Westchester and also brought a short game that kept him near the top of the leaderboard.
'I just happened to have a great day with the putter,' said Roberts. 'I had an impossible chip-in and made a couple of long putts. I hit a couple of really good iron shots at the right time from tough pins, and I just kind of got on a roll today and hit it on the right spots.'
Roberts opened on the second nine and was even through seven holes and seemed to be in trouble at the par-4 17th. He drove into the right rough and blew his second shot over the green, leaving him with a difficult chip to even get close to the pin. Roberts holed the chip for a birdie when a bogey-5 looked like a certainty.
The 46-year-old gained momentum after the chip-in at 17. He drained a four-foot birdie at 18 and made it three in a row when he nearly holed a 4-iron at one but settled for the eight-foot birdie instead.
Roberts birdied three more in a row starting at three and closed his round with 20-foot birdie from the fringe at No. 7.
'I love this golf course,' said Roberts. 'Especially since they have come in and redone the bunkers and made this golf course a lot tougher. A couple of shots are tougher, just because it's really tough to get the ball up-and-down from the short-side now.'
Roberts may not have looked like a strong candidate to be the first-round leader after enduring some disappointment earlier in the week. He shot a 2-under-par 141 at the U.S. Open sectional qualifying in Maryland and missed an entry at Bethpage Black by two shots.
'There's been two Opens in the last ten years that I really wanted to play in, and that was Pebble Beach and this one,' said Roberts, who lost to Ernie Els in a playoff at the 1994 U.S. Open. 'I'm sorry I'm not going to be in. But I've just got to redefine my schedule for the year. I'm here, so I'm going to try to win the golf tournament here.'
Muehr had a different story to tell about sectional qualifying at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md. He closed bogey-double bogey to narrowly make it into a playoff for the final spot. On Tuesday, he won the third playoff hole to outlast 11 other men for the last berth.
'I finished bogey-double bogey to get in that playoff,' Muehr said. 'I almost didn't show up Tuesday. I just kind of went out with nothing to lose and stole that spot. That's the kind of thing that can turn your year around.'
Retief Goosen, preparing for his U.S. Open title defense next week, shot a 4-under-par 67 in the first round. He shares seventh place with Jim Carter, Stewart Cink, Steve Elkington, Pat Perez, John Rollins, Craig Parry and Robert Allenby.
Sergio Garcia, the 2001 Buick Classic champion, headlines a group at 3-under par. Memorial winner Jim Furyk, Fred Couples, Tom Lehman and Els are also part of the logjam tied for 15th.
Full-field scores from the Buick Classic
Kelly beats Monty with two-shot swing on final hole
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii – Jerry Kelly made an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole, Colin Montgomerie missed a 6-footer for par and Kelly turned a one-shot deficit into a victory Saturday in the Mitsubishi Electric Championship, the season opener on the PGA Tour Champions.
After Kelly drove it well right into lava rocks on the par-4 16th, leading to bogey and giving Montgomerie the lead, Montgomerie made a mistake with his tee shot on the last, finding a fairway bunker. Montgomerie's approach went over the green and after Kelly converted his birdie, the 54-year-old Scot jammed his par putt well past the hole.
It was the third win on the over-50 tour for the 51-year-old Kelly, who finished tied for 14th last week at the PGA Tour's Sony Open in Honolulu. That gave him confidence as he hopped over to the Big Island for his tournament debut at Hualalai. The limited-field event includes winners from last season, past champions of the event, major champions and Hall of Famers.
Kelly closed with a 6-under 66 for a three-day total of 18-under 198. Montgomerie shot 69. David Toms shot 67 and finished two shots back, and Miguel Angel Jimenez was another stroke behind after a 66.
Bernhard Langer, defending the first of his seven 2017 titles, closed with a 70 to finish at 10 under.
Rahm manages frustration, two back at CareerBuilder
Jon Rahm managed the winds and his frustrations Saturday at the CareerBuilder Challenge to give himself a chance to win his fourth worldwide title in the last year.
Rahm’s 2-under-par 70 on the PGA West Stadium Course left him two shots off the lead going into the final round.
“I wasn’t really dealing with the wind that much,” Rahm said of his frustrations. “I was dealing with not being as fluid as I was the last two days.”
The world’s No. 3 ranked player opened with a 62 at La Quinta Country Club on Thursday and followed it up with a 67 on Friday at PGA West. He made six birdies and four bogeys on the Stadium Course on Saturday.
“The first day, everything was outstanding,” Rahm said. “Yesterday, my driver was a little shaky but my irons shots were perfect. Today, my driver was shaky and my irons shots were shaky. On a course like this, it’s punishing, but luckily on the holes where I found the fairway I was able to make birdies.”
Rahm is projected to move to No. 2 in the world rankings with a finish of sixth or better on Sunday.
Cook leads by one entering final round at CareerBuilder
LA QUINTA, Calif. – Austin Cook hit a hybrid into the fairway bunker on the par-4 18th on a breezy Saturday afternoon at La Quinta Country Club, then chunked a wedge and raced a chip 20 feet past the hole.
Kip Henley, the longtime PGA Tour caddie who guided Cook to a breakthrough victory at Sea Island in November, stepped in to give the 26-year-old former Arkansas star a quick pep talk.
''Kip said, 'Let's finish this like we did on the first day at the Nicklaus Course.' We made a big par putt on 18 there and he said, 'Let's just do the same thing. Let's get this line right and if you get the line right it's going in.'''
It did, giving Cook an 8-under 64 and a one-stroke lead in the CareerBuilder Challenge going into the final round on the Stadium Course at PGA West. Fellow former Razorback Andrew Landry and Martin Piller were tied for second, and Jon Rahm and Scott Piercy were a another stroke back after a tricky day in wind that didn't get close to the predicted gusts of 40 mph.
''I know that I wouldn't have wanted to play the Stadium today,'' Cook said. ''I think we got a great draw with the courses that we got to play on the days that we got to play them.''
Cook played the final six holes on the front nine in 6 under with an eagle and four birdies.
''Starting on my fourth hole, I was able to make a birdie and kind of get the ball rolling and it never really stopped rolling,'' Cook said. ''Kip and I were doing really good at seeing the line on the greens.''
After a bogey on 10, he birdied 11, 12 and 15 and parred the final three to get to 19-under 197.
''I think that tonight the nerves, the butterflies, all that will kind of be a little less,'' Cook said. ''I've been in the situation before and I was able to finish the job on Sunday. I think it would be a little different if I didn't play like I did on Sunday at Sea Island.''
He's making his first start in the event.
''I came in from Hawaii on Monday, so I only had two days to prepare for three courses,'' Cook said.
Landry, the second-round leader, had a 70 at the Stadium. Piller, the husband of LPGA tour player Gerina Piller, shot a 67 at La Quinta. Winless on the PGA Tour, they will join Cook in the final threesome.
''Piller's a good guy and we have played a lot together and same with Cookie,'' said Landry, the only player without a bogey after 54 holes. ''Hope the Hogs are going to come out on top.''
Rahm had a 70 at the Stadium to reach 17 under. The third-ranked Rahm beat up the par 5s again, but had four bogeys – three on par 3s. He has played the 12 par 5s in 13 under with an eagle and 11 birdies.
''A little bit of a survival day,'' Rahm said.
The wind was more of a factor on the more exposed and tighter Stadium Course.
''The course is firming up,'' Rahm said. ''I know if we have similar wind to today, if we shoot something under par, you'll be way up there contesting it over the last few holes.''
Piercy had a 66 at the Stadium.
''I controlled my ball really well today,'' he said.
Adam Hadwin had a 67 at La Quinta a year after shooting a third-round 59 on the course. The Canadian was 16 under along with Grayson Murray and Brandon Harkins. Murray had a 67 on the Nicklaus Course, and Harkins shot 68 at the Stadium.
Phil Mickelson missed the cut in his first tournament of the year for the second time in his career, shooting a 74 on the Stadium to finish at 4 under – four strokes from a Sunday tee time. The 47-year-old Hall of Famer was playing for the first time since late October. He also missed the cut in the Phoenix Open in his 2009 opener.
Charlie Reiter, the Palm Desert High School senior playing on the first sponsor exemption the event has given to an amateur, also missed the cut. He had three early straight double bogeys in a 77 on the Stadium that left him 1 over.
John Daly had an 80 at La Quinta. He opened with a triple bogey and had six bogeys – four in a row to start his second nine - and only one birdie. The 51-year-old Daly opened with a 69 on the Nicklaus layout and had a 71 on Friday at the Stadium.
Phil misses CareerBuilder cut for first time in 24 years
Phil Mickelson missed the cut Saturday at the CareerBuilder Challenge. It’s a rare occurrence in his Hall of Fame career.
He has played the event 15 times, going back to when it was known as the Bob Hope Classic. He has won it twice.
How rare is his missing the cut there?
The last time he did so, there was no such thing as a DVD, Wi-Fi, iPods, Xbox, DVR capability or YouTube.
The PGA Tour’s Jon Rahm didn’t exist, either.
The last time Mickelson missed a cut in this event was 1994, nine months before Rahm was born.
Mickelson struggled to a 2-over-par 74 in the heavy winds Saturday on the PGA West Stadium Course, missing the 54-hole cut by four shots. He hit just four of 14 fairways, just nine of 18 greens. He took a double bogey at the 15th after requiring two shots to escape the steep-walled bunker on the left side of the green.
Mickelson won’t have to wait long to try to get back in the hunt. He’s scheduled to play the Farmers Insurance Open next week at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, Calif.

2002 Gliding Expedition
5th July 2002: Schärding
to Wiener Neustadt
The gliders took
a long tow to the mountains and with a planned release in the Gmunden
area. However, with the area still to commence convection, the tow continued
over the Totes Gebirger from where the gliders could reach convection
SE of Trieben.
Our trusty tug,
YM, certainly earned its keep today with two position tows over a distance
of about 80 km each, and an altitude of over 10,000 ft at the point
of release. Later YM towed the LS4 to Wiener Neustadt.
The ASH25, flown
by Robin and Andy May, near cloudbase at around 10,500 ft.
The Duo Discus was flown by
Ed Downham and David Starer.
a slightly slow start, soaring conditions became very good.
Austria to Wiener Neustadt, Austria
The two seaters are to attempt a task running west-east along the Austrian
mountains to bring them to Wiener Neustadt by evening ,with the LS4 being
aerotowed to within gliding range of the airfield. Hot blue conditions at
the airfield with a low inversion of 4000' limit the opportunity of starting
from Scharding so YM undertakes a marathon tow of 40 mins and 54 miles SE
to 10,000' to drop 13 and subsequently LGC for the start of a 600km task that
took them west to Zell-am-See and eventually east to Wiener Neustadt, landing
accompanied 13 for most of the task initially routing East to the small gliding
club at Lanzen-Turnau, then turning West. As the flight progressed Westwards
conditions became steadily better and better with 9kt climbs and the cloudbase
rising to 11,000'. The return Eastwards to Wiener Neustadt began from the
flanks of the Grossglockner, just South of Zell-am-See and over 250km from
our goal, Wiener Neustadt. Conditions weakened considerably in the last 100km.
LGC ending the flight with a nail-biting marginal 66 km final glide through
the Semmering pass.
LS4 was delivered to within gliding distance of Wiener Neustadt after a 200
km tow and the trailers caught up late in the evening, everyone being reunited
over another magnificent club restaurant meal.

Limp Bizkit has signed a deal with Cash Money Records, home of rap-stars Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj.
Lil Wayne called in to New York's 98.7 KissFM on Thursday to announce the news, according to Azcentral.com.
"We're always listening and looking at acts," Wayne said on the radio show, "Kissing After Dark." "Honestly, it's like every other day, I hear about somebody new just signed to Cash Money. Not speaking about R&B. Just like for example, the other day I found out Limp Bizkit signed to Cash Money. So they're signing everybody."
Limp Bizkit's lead singer, Fred Durst, confirmed the news on Twitter.
"YMCMB(LB)??" Believe!!" Durst tweeted. "The game is missing danger, electricity, and rock n roll!!!!' Cash Money Limp Bizkit."
He went on to rant about how rock and roll doesn't rock anymore and has turned "pop."
"Rock doesn't rock anymore! They say the whole game done went pop so I'm back in this! #CMLB," Durst tweeted.
Cash Money Records co-CEOs and brothers, Ronald "Slim" Williams and Bryan "Baby/Birdman" Williams were also excited about signing Limp Bizkit to Cash Money. They released a press release saying how much they admired Limp Bizkit.
"We have always admired how they have been able to blend rock and hip-hop and will bring a unique sound to the label," the press release said.
Limp Bizkit, which was started by Fred Durst in 1994, has sold over 33 million records worldwide. They are a Grammy-nominated group and has completed several successful global tours.
According to the Cash Money press release, Limp Bizkit has already begun recording with Cash Money, in Miami, at the legendary Hit Factory.
"I can say without a doubt that Cash Money is at the top of their game," Durst said. "What attracted me to the label is not only their great taste and hustle, but their belief in their artists and the family atmosphere. Slim and Birdman allow their artists to be themselves and encourage creative output and continued development."

This is a quick tip that will show you how to change the icons shown on your Profile Sidebar for adding media.
1. First, go to your Layout Manager and disable the default 'Add New Media' widget.
2. Next, drag a Custom HTML widget into your Profile Sidebar (Zone A) and position it above the disabled Add New Media widget.
3. Now, here comes the fun bit. Download the file called add-new-media.html that is attached to this post and open it with your favourite HTML editor. We'll be using Dreamweaver.
4. The code will look something like this. Note the highlighted areas. The small red box shows the area where you would edit the text that appears underneath the button. So, you could change this to 'Film' for example. The big red box shows the area in the code where you specify the URL of your new icon. By default, these images should be 32 pixels wide and 32 pixels high, but you can use any size you like - but prepare to edit some CSS!
5. Once you have edited the code, paste it into the new Custom HTML widget that you made earlier.
6. Make the widget viewable to logged-in-members only. After all, there's little point in making these icons available to non-members!
7. Also, un-tick the box that says 'Use Content Frame'.
8. Save the Custom HTML widget.
9. Now, when you view your site, your new icons will be displayed on the profile sidebar:
Just one thing to bear in mind - this will detach some of the control that you have in the Access Settings in terms of control over members ability to upload music, post blogs etc... So, if you wish to prevent a member from uploading music for example you will need to edit your Custom HTML widget to remove the icon and link.

Local Area Network And Wide Area Network Pdf

File Name: local area network and wide area network .zip
In its simplest form, a wide-area network WAN is a collection of local-area networks LANs or other networks that communicate with one another.
- What Is a WAN? Wide-Area Network
- Introduction to WANs (Wide Area Network)
- Computer Network Fundamentals
There are various types of computer networks available. We can categorize them according to their size as well as their purpose. The size of a network should be expressed by the geographic area and number of computers, which are a part of their networks.
Local Area Network LAN is a computer network, which is limited to a small office, single building, multiple buildings inside a campus etc. It is nearly impossible for a small to medium organization except Network Service Providers to pull network cables between their two offices in two different countries located s of kilometers away. The aerial distance between Chennai and Manila is about 4, kilometers. It is almost impossible for a small to medium business to draw cables between Chennai and Manila. We normally avail the services of an Internet Service Provider for connectivity between these two offices.
What Is a WAN? Wide-Area Network
A wide area network WAN is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area for the primary purpose of computer networking. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits. Businesses, as well as schools and government entities, use wide area networks to relay data to staff, students, clients, buyers and suppliers from various locations across the world. In essence, this mode of telecommunication allows a business to effectively carry out its daily function regardless of location. The Internet may be considered a WAN.
Introduction to WANs (Wide Area Network)
A local area network LAN is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies in use for local area networks. The increasing demand and usage of computers in universities and research labs in the late s generated the need to provide high-speed interconnections between computer systems. A report from the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory detailing the growth of their "Octopus" network gave a good indication of the situation. A number of experimental and early commercial LAN technologies were developed in the s.
One way to categorize networks is to divide them into local-area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN). LANs typically are connected workstations.
Computer Network Fundamentals
If you understand the fundamental objectives of your organization and how your telecommunication network assists you to achieve these objectives you will have a sound basis for the development of network security. The types of potential interruption must also be understood remembering that small, intermittent failures can be worse than complete collapse. Risk exposures can be prioritized and contingency plans established. Duplicated carrier communications, private network triangulation, and virtual private networks are considered as well as ISDN and switched backup services.
Wide Area Network WAN is a collection of various local area networks LAN to transmit the data to the large geographical area in the form of voice, video, image, files. A LAN is a small area network that connects the network only for a limited distance. Ethernet and wifi fall under the local area network. Merely, the network of all local area networks is called a Wide area network WAN.
A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources such as printers and CDs , exchange files, or allow electronic communications.

This short article will provide you with several pointers to consider to make the best decision.
One of the biggest concerns that most people have is the harmful chemicals that are found in tobacco. Many feel that e cigarette health benefits are simply as harmful as smoking. As you can imagine, the manufacturing process for e cigarette will not produce these chemicals. However, there are thousands of chemicals that are used during the production of e cigarettes. Every time you light up, you’re exposing you to ultimately a potentially dangerous chemical.
There have also been a lot of e cigarette health claims by celebrities like Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods. Although these individuals could have great health, their claims do not necessarily reflect the totality of the effects that are linked to the cigarette use. Also, e cigarette manufacturers are not required to disclose exactly how these chemicals affect your system. Therefore, you’re left to your own wits to determine how much you are putting into your system.
In terms of the main topics e cigarette health risks, there are some things that you should know. The main thing to understand is that smoking is extremely harmful for the body. There is no way around it. One more thing to keep in mind is that some people usually do not live past their 30’s, you should be healthy beyond this age.

Not merely will you have significantly more energy, but you will feel much better. If you are going to begin a procedure for quitting, you should definitely invest in a good vaporizer. These vapors help you stop smoking without the need to actually smoke another cigarette.
The e cigarette health threats that you are subjected to every day, you should attempt to avoid. For example, you should never light up if you are working. Always wait until you finish whatever it is that you were doing so that you could put a cigarette down. While you can still light up occasionally, you should try to limit this as much as possible.
Many e cigarette health dangers can be found due to way that nicotine is present in the product. Nicotine is really a harmful drug and really should not be utilized by anyone. Instead of trying to quit smoking so that they can lessen your usage, try to stay away from it entirely. Nicotine has been proven to raise blood pressure levels, can result in depression, and may even be dangerous to your wellbeing in the long run. There are plenty of other ways to deal with e cigarette health risks, however.
There is absolutely no such thing as a once off e cigarette health risk.

In case you are still having health issues after using the cigarettes for a couple months, it is probably time to make a change. Although you may think that it is something that you can’t quit, at the very least make sure that you aren’t exposing yourself to any of these cigarette health threats.

Buying the right insurance for your car is essential to prevent financial difficulties when an accident occurs. The article below will describe how to ask the right questions from your broker or
agent, what coverage to buy and how to avoid duplicate coverage. Read the article and ask the right questions from your insurance professional.
When thinking of buying aftermarket car additions, check with your insurance company on how much they will cover if ever your car gets damaged or stolen. There are lots of cases where the insurance
won't cover these additions.
If you are contemplating making after market additions to your car, have a conversation with your agent to see how these would be covered. You may spend about a grand on some new rims for your car,
but if an appraiser values them much lower the difference between the amounts will be lost if the car is stolen.
Figure out what kind of coverage is good for you and your car prior to seeking an auto insurance policy. There are a many insurance options available for you, but it will not make sense for you to
use some of them. Collision coverage is a wise idea if you seem to find yourself involved in car accidents on a regular basis.
If you can pay your annual car insurance premium all at once, do so instead of paying monthly. A monthly payment plan may cost you as much as five dollars a month above what you would pay with
less-frequent payments. It may not seem like much, but it adds up quickly. In addition, it is more difficult to pay your bill in this manner when you add it to the rest of your monthly expenses. This
is good incentive to lower the number of payments.
When purchasing new car insurance
, you should always be sure you have property damage liability. This portion of liability coverage will pay for any
damages caused to other property in the event you have a car accident. Forty-seven states require this by law. Causing damage in a car accident is very expensive, and liability insurance can save you
a substantial amount of money in the long run.
Increasing the amount on the deductible will save you money providing you will drive safely. It is a bit risky, but it will help you save on your insurance premiums. You have to make sure to save up
money in case you need to pay a higher deductible at some point. Increasing your deductible will lower the amount you have to pay for your premium.
Don't automatically accept the cheapest quotes. It may or may not be a good deal. Read the fine print on any insurance policy and ask questions of their representatives. Basing your decision on the
price alone is not a good idea. You must also learn about the insurer and analyze all facets of the insurance policy to make sure it's right for you.
It's possible you could remove a few of the coverage items from your insurance policy. If your vehicle is older and less valuable and your policy includes collision insurance, it may not be
worthwhile to keep paying for it. Remove this coverage from your insurance and you could save a large amount every month. You should also think about dropping your comprehensive and liability
Your auto insurance agent will have a list of any discounts offered by their company. Find out about all discounts to ensure that you are saving money.
You can make a list of all the discounts they offer, then go through this list carefully and check off each one you are eligible for. It's quite surprising how much money can be saved through
If you drive no more than 7500 miles annually, you will likely qualify for a sizable discount from your insurance company. This makes cutting your driving down a wonderful way to save money.
Many find the process of determining their necessary level of insurance coverage to be difficult. Liability insurance should be added for those with a lot of possessions. By way of illustration, if
you purchase liability coverage well under the value of your assets, and are involved in a collision, you could be subject to litigation that places the remainder of your uninsured assets in
jeopardy. It is very important to make sure you carry enough insurance coverage to protect your savings and other personal assets.
Car insurance is important to have even if consider yourself a safe driver. In the event of an accident or tragedy, insurance is the one saving grace you have to hold on to. However, it is important
to select the proper coverage and insurance options to secure this financial assistance. Apply the insights from this article to find the appropriate insurance coverage for you.

Politico has obtained a draft of a majority decision authored by Justice Samuel Alito that would overturn Roe v. Wade, in a startling breach of Supreme Court confidentiality and secrecy.
According to Politico, the draft was circulating in early February. The final opinion has yet to be announced, and votes and language may alter before the formal release of the opinions. It is not expected that the opinion in this matter would be released until late June.
CNN has not independently verified the validity of the paper.
Politico claims to have verified the draft. A representative for the Supreme Court declined to respond to CNN.
The court would reject Roe v. Wade’s ruling that there is a federal constitutional right to abortion, according to the text. The decision would be the most significant abortion decision in decades, and it would change the landscape of women’s reproductive health in the United States.
Five justices appear to be in favor of overturning Roe. According to CNN, Chief Justice John Roberts did not want to invalidate Roe v. Wade fully, thus he would have dissented from Alito’s draft opinion, likely with the court’s three liberals.
Alito, along with Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, would make up the five conservative justices who would overturn Roe.
According to CNN, Roberts is willing to uphold a Mississippi statute that prohibits abortion beyond 15 weeks of pregnancy. Under existing legislation, the government cannot interfere with a woman’s decision to terminate a pregnancy before the fetus reaches the point where it can live outside the womb, which is around 23 weeks.
On Monday evening, a largely solemn gathering gathered outside the Supreme Court building to console one another and ponder what to do next.
“Hey, hey, ho, ho, Samuel Alito’s gotta go,” the audience chanted at one point. “We’re not going back.” “Abortion rights are being attacked; what are we going to do? Stand up and fight back.” “Fill the courts with people.”
By the high court’s standards of secrecy, Politico’s publication of the draft is unprecedented. The interior deliberations of the justices as opinions are formed and votes are cast are among Washington’s most tightly guarded secrets.
“This is truly stunning news for the Supreme Court as an institution,” said Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court expert and University of Texas School of Law professor. “Not only is the outcome it foreshadows — the overturning of Roe and Casey — a shock to our constitutional politics, but we’ve never seen a leak from inside the Court quite like this, where we’re not just hearing what the outcome will be, but also seeing the draft majority decision in advance. It’s hard to imagine that the former doesn’t help to explain the later, yet both are earthquakes.”
Dobbs v. Jackson is the case in question. Oral arguments were heard on December 1 in a case challenging Mississippi’s 15-week abortion prohibition. A final opinion on the case is expected to be released later this spring or early summer.
Alito says in the draft judgment that Roe “must be overruled.”
“The Constitution has no mention to abortion, and no fundamental clause implicitly protects such a right,” Alito stated. He claimed that Roe was “egregiously erroneous from the outset,” with “exceptionally weak reasoning” and “damaging repercussions.”
“It is time to pay attention to the Constitution and restore the subject of abortion to the people’s representatives,” he continued.
According to the draft, he stated, “That is what the Constitution and the rule of law demand.”
Nearly half of the states have passed or will pass laws prohibiting abortion, while others have implemented severe regulations.
