Qatar’s hospitality sector has emerged as the best performer among hotels located in most of the major cities across the Middle East region. Hotels in Doha have outperformed the properties located in the region’s prominent tourist destinations such as Cairo, Makkah, and Madinah, in terms of growth in occupancy rates, a latest survey by EY shows.
According to the findings of ‘The Middle East Hotel Benchmark Survey’ by EY, the average occupancy rates of hotels in Doha (from January to September 2019 period) increased by 8.5 percent (YTD) to 66.9 percent compared to 58.3 percent for the corresponding period last year.
Doha was closely followed by Beirut which registered an increase of 7.9 percent in terms of occupancy. The occupancy rate of hotels located in the Lebanese capital surged to 71 percent against 63.6 percent for the same period in 2018.
Hotels located in Riyadh (Saudi capital) and Makkah occupied the third and fourth positions in terms of growth in occupancy rates in the Middle East region witnessing 6.6 percent and 4.8 percent growth, respectively. The occupancy rates of hotels in Riyadh and Makkha, by the end of September 2019 (YTD), stood at 59.7 percent and 68 percent, respectively.
Except for Dubai, Kuwait City, Jeddah, and Madinah, occupancy rates of hotels in all other major cities in the Middle East have witnessed a surge from January to September 2019 period compared to the same period last year. The overall occupancy rates of hotels in Kuwait City, Dubai, Jeddah, and Madinah witnessed a decline of varying degrees from 0.7 percent to 1.4 percent. Although the occupancy rate for Dubai City inched up by 0.5 percent to 73 percent from 72.5 percent (by September 2019, YTD), due to a 3.3 percent fall in occupancy rates of Dubai Beach hotels the overall occupancy rate for Dubai fell by 1 percent.
In terms of revenues, Beirut hotels registered a remarkable double-digit growth by the end of September 2019 (YTD) compared to the same period last year. The average revenue of hotels in Beirut (measured by per available room, RevPAR) increased by 23.8 percent to $148 in September 2019 (YTD) from $119 a year ago. Cairo (7 percent), Abu Dhabi (6.5 percent), Doha (5.5 percent), and Manama (4.9 percent) were among the top performers in terms of growth in revenues per available room.
The survey was developed and is maintained by EY Mena under the direction of Yousef Wahbah who leads the Real Estate, Hospitality and Construction Sector across the Mena region.
The survey was based on data provided by hotel management companies and third-party sources. EY noted that it believes the data collected is reliable, and EY has not performed an audit or review of the information gathered and does not express an opinion or any form of assurance on the accuracy of such information.

Owensboro flipped the script in the second half against Hopkinsville for a comeback win thanks to a late three from freshman Jonathan Moss on Saturday, while Daviess County and Apollo couldn’t muster up enough offense in its respective losses.
Owensboro vs Hopkinsville
The Red Devils turned things around offensively in the second half, allowing them to complete a comeback 67-66 win over Hopkinsville on Saturday thanks to a game-winning three late from Jonathan Moss.
Owensboro had dug themselves heading into halftime, as first half struggles offensively led to a 36-22 deficit. But the Red Devils got contributions from six different players in the third, helping them cut it to a 50-42 game going into the fourth.
The Tigers still grabbed 16 points in the final quarter, but a monster quarter from Owensboro—including 10 of Kenyatta Carbon’s 22 points—had them in a battle going down to the wire. Carbon’s dynamic scoring in the fourth allowed him to open things up when they needed it most, as he brought the ball up and drove to the left elbow after receiving a screen from Ji Webb before hitting Moss on the left wing for a three with five seconds to go to secure the 67-66 win.
Bubba Leavell led all scorers with 27 points, while Antonio Williams also finished in double figures for the Tigers with 18. Carbon finished with a team-leading 22, while Webb had 13 and Moss added 11.
Back-to-back wins move Owensboro to 13-7 overall, as they now have some time to prepare for a district matchup against Apollo at 7 p.m. at home on Friday, Feb. 3.
Daviess County vs Webster County
Despite winning the turnover battle, the Panthers struggled from deep and at the charity stripe en route to a 58-54 loss to Webster County at home on Saturday.
Daviess County found themselves trailing early, going down 14-11 heading into the second thanks to a pair of threes giving the Trojans a slight edge. This carried into the ensuing quarter, as Webster County knocked down five threes as a team and went into halftime owning a 33-25 lead because of it.
The Panthers were able to bounce back and outscore the Trojans coming out of the locker room, but Jarvis Starks Scott (six) and Deshawn Murphy (six) combined for all of Webster County’s points in the quarter to stay out in front 45-38. Daviess County was able to outscore the Trojans again by three in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late as the Panthers ultimately fell 58-54.
Webster County had three different players in double figures in the win, while junior Gage Phelps and senior Evan Hillard finished with 20 and 12 points respectively for Daviess County. The Panthers fall to 9-12 overall with the loss, as they’ll look to bounce back in their fourth straight home game when they take on Muhlenberg County at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
Apollo vs Allen County-Scottsville
A huge third quarter for Allen County-Scottsville was the key to a third straight road loss for the Eagles on Saturday, as they couldn’t muster up enough offense in the 46-39 defeat.
Both teams got off to a slow start, but the Patriots were able to take a 13-11 lead into the second after trading buckets back and forth with Apollo. Neither team was able to turn things around in the next quarter either, as a combined five points between the two led to Allen County-Scottsville holding a 15-14 lead at halftime.
But in the third quarter Blayne Moore (nine) and Chase Ross (nine) combined for 18 of the Patriots 20 points to take a 35-24 lead over the Eagles heading into the fourth. Apollo was able to outscore Allen County-Scottsville in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough as they ultimately fell 46-39.
Sophomore Kobe Kelly and senior Zjhan Tutt were the only players to score more than six for the Eagles on Saturday, finishing with 16 and 13 points respectively. Apollo falls to 4-17 overall with the loss, as they will look to bounce back on the road Tuesday against Union County at 6 p.m.

Isle of Skye, Scotland has always been on my bucket list so I was pretty excited when I booked a beautiful elopement there. I headed north from Glasgow to visit a few places on my way to Isle of Skye. It amazes me how much the landscape changes as soon as you head out of the cities of Scotland. It doesn’t take long before you find yourself driving through mythical forests, highland, mountains, valley and the beautiful lochs. Within a few hours I felt that I was in the scene of Outlander!
In fact, one of the my favourite place on route to Skye was the area where Outlander was filmed. Yes, I do admit to being a little obsessed with Outlander, but the landscape around Kinloch Rannoch is truly beautiful! The landscape looks exactly like like it would a few hundred years ago, so it’s not hard to imagine yourself riding through the mountain valleys on the back of a horse.
Once I arrived at the Isle of Skye I was overwhelmed by the misty mountains and beautiful big famous sites like Old Man of Storr. My two absolute favourites from Skye were the Fairy Glen which is an out of this world magical fairy like landscape in the north of Skye as well as the mountain range Quiraing. There is an excellent day hike which takes you on a loop through Quiraing Ranges and the tall stone pillars and moss covered hills are truly breathtaking.
One thing to remember when travelling to Scotland and Isle of Skye is that it rains. A lot! The weather also changes rapidly and you can experience all four seasons in a day. So it’s important to travel with good outdoor clothes and some solid hiking shoes. Hiking is really where it’s at on Skye. There are too many amazing hikes to list and you could spend a lifetime trying to do them all. It’s a paradise for nature lovers that’s for sure.
I’m really fortunate that I’m able to travel internationally for weddings. Of all the places I have travelled Scotland and Isle of Skye would definitely be one of my all time favourites. The magical fairytale like landscape is one of a kind. It has an eerie and beautiful feel to it all at the same time. The other bonus is the Scottish people. Don’t ever be in a rush because they really do love a good chat. And if you go you must try the local whisky and gin.
If you visit Isle of Skye I would recommend going for at least a week. I went for 6 days and I could have stayed much longer. There is really so much to see. Go beyond the touristy places and create your own adventure. Get hold of a good local hiking guide and you will be busy for weeks.
I am a destination wedding photographer living in Australia. One of my favourite things to do with my clients are hiking to an epic location for photos. When I am not taking photos I can be found hiking, exploring the beach and nature, hanging with my husband and 4 year old twins and our dog. I love working with couples that are not afraid of being different, who loves nature and are happy to go off the beaten track to explore. See more of my work here.

Arizona Man Pleads Guilty to Illegally Selling Golden Eagle and Other Migratory Bird Parts
WASHINGTON – A Tuba City, Ariz., man pleaded guilty in federal court in Phoenix to illegally selling golden eagle and other migratory bird parts, a felony criminal offense, announced Ignacia S. Moreno, Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, and John S. Leonardo, U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona.
According to the plea agreement filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix yesterday, in January 2008, Patrick Scott, 46, used the Internet to illegally offer to sell a golden eagle fan for $950. An undercover law enforcement officer exchanged emails with Scott and ultimately agreed on a purchase price of $900. In February 2008, a second undercover law enforcement officer went to Scott’s house and bought the golden eagle fan by making an initial payment of $550 and later deposited the remainder directly into Scott’s bank account in two installments. Also according to the plea agreement, between July 2007 and February 2009, Scott sold, purchased, and/or offered to sell other migratory bird parts, from species including bald eagle, red-tailed hawk, golden eagle, crested caracara, anhinga and rough-legged hawk.
Golden eagles and other migratory birds are protected by federal laws and regulations. Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, it is unlawful to possess, offer to sell, sell, offer to purchase or purchase any migratory bird or migratory bird part, or any product that consists, or is composed in whole or part, of any such bird or bird part. It is a federal enforcement priority to prosecute those who violate federal laws by engaging in commercial activities involving federally protected bird feathers or other bird parts. The objective of these enforcement efforts is to reduce and eliminate the unlawful taking of federally protected birds by prosecuting not only individuals who kill protected birds but also individuals who seek to profit from the commercialization of federally protected birds or their feathers or other parts. This helps to ensure that golden eagle and other bird populations remain healthy and sustainable.
“The Department of Justice will not tolerate the commercial exploitation of federally protected birds, which are important not only as protected species but also as sacred elements of the religious and cultural traditions of many Native Americans,” said Ignacia S. Moreno, Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. “This is why the department recently published a policy to clarify that while the possession and use of migratory bird feathers and other bird parts is permissible for religious or cultural purposes by members of federally recognized tribes, it remains illegal to buy, sell, or trade in them for compensation.”
“While we recognize, and respect, that many Indian tribes and their members use federally protected birds in the practice of their religion and in the expression of their culture,” said U.S. Attorney Leonardo, “we will hold accountable through prosecution those who seek commercial gain by selling protected birds, their feathers, or their parts.”
“Protecting our nation’s wildlife from unlawful commercial exploitation of protected U.S. Species is a high priority for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement,” said Nicholas E. Chavez, Special Agent in Charge of the Southwest Region. “This case is also an example of how working with our tribal law enforcement partners can lead to a successful outcome.”
“The Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife is committed to protecting raptors, including golden eagles. These birds are not only biologically important but are also culturally significant to the Navajo people,” said Gloria Tom, Director of the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Commercializing these birds and their parts is illegal and is detrimental to our eagle populations on the Navajo Nation. The department is committed to fostering our partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to deter wildlife crimes on the Navajo Nation.”
The maximum penalties for the unlawful sale of migratory birds include two years of incarceration and a fine of $250,000. U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Steven P. Logan set Scott’s sentencing for Feb. 26, 2013.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Office of Law Enforcement in coordination with the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife. The case was prosecuted by the Environmental Crimes Section of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.

Isn't this like the Acura version of the Prelude?
04-10-2011, 08:32 PM
It was based on the Honda Accord IIRC.
Mr. Sting Ray
04-10-2011, 08:35 PM
Oh, learn something new every day I guess.
Oh, learn something new every day I guess.
They're not even in the same league. Prelude is about 50hp more powerful lol.
Anyways. Nice girly car there, homo. :)
I keed I keed. I envy your gas mileage.
04-11-2011, 05:57 AM
Never seen that car before...
04-11-2011, 06:00 AM
girly car is girly. :P
but i like it, cuz it suits me too y0. /sarcasm.
serious note, why did you sell the teggy anyways....it was better than this, but oh well, worth it. heh
04-11-2011, 11:46 PM
Nice car. Sucks that you had to sell the Integra though, but good to hear that you found a new job :)
That engine have a single overhead cam setup? My family has a '95ish Accord wagon (CE1 or something is the chassis code) that has an F22-something, and it has a SOHC VTEC setup. ~145HP or so at the crank (assuming it's in factory condition, which I'm sure it's not, although it's in very good shape except the paint).
04-12-2011, 08:36 AM
I had to sell the Teggy as I didn't find work and funds were getting tight. I rather like this one more then the 'teg cause its a little bigger and more comfortable.
This one is completely stock with no mods under hood, and its got the SOHC VTEC engine (specs are in my first post). Here's a few more pics;
04-25-2011, 05:46 PM
Had it on the road over the weekend and picked up some 6,000K HID's from a friend. Got some weird Idle problem I got to sort out, but other then that it runs like a dream. Today a friend at work took my car and put 23% tint on the back windows for me. Gotta lower it though, jeez its got 4x4 status hardcore lmao.
Here's some new pictures.
Annnnd a Sticker!
06-28-2011, 12:57 AM
Might as well update this a little bit.
Installed my 6,000K HID`s I got from a friend, naturally they drastically improved my night time visibility and also updated the looks a little bit I feel. Took some time to de-badge the rear and give her a good 3 stage polish & wax, got a new windshield put in and installed a 8`` bazooka tube my dad had kicking around to help add a little boom to the factory stereo until my new system arrives and gets installed. Other then that nothing`s really changed save for the mileage which cracked over 200,000Km`s a few weekends ago (currently sitting just shy of 202,500Km`s!).
Within` the next few paychecks I`m going to start ordering my sound system which will include a Pioneer AVH-P3200BT Heaudint (5.8" Screen, DVD Playback, Bluetooth etc...), Focal Speakers all around, and a 10" Subwoofer & 5 Channel amp to power it all. Hopefully after that's all done a wings west type r front lip (and front bumper repair & re-spray), OEM rear spoiler, 17" or 18" wheels, short ram intake and exhaust will round off the mods for now. I might add a few suspension mods to reduce some body roll (larger anti-roll bars & lowering springs) as well, and I might get my manager to vinyl wrap my roof for me in a gold carbon fiber wrap he has just to add some uniqueness to it.
I`m overall really impressed with this car. I've taken it on a few long road trips and she is a very comfortable highway cruiser - smooth riding, quiet and very easy on gas. On my last trip I took down to Calgary I averaged 32MPG while cruising at 140-150km/h (85/90mph)! Anyways onto some new pictures I have to share!

Those are some great looking photos. Love the second one!
07-25-2011, 12:19 AM
Some pics from my trip to Nakusp, BC a few weekends ago:
Had plenty of fun in the mountains with her, maybe just a little too much though. Turns out the inside pads on my front brakes were way more worn down then the outsides were and chewed up my rotors pretty good. Took the chance to upgrade to ATE carbon ceramic pads and ATE slotted rotors, and I've noticed a big difference in my braking performance.

Well with winter getting ready to knock on our door up here and my arm finally out of a cast and healing, it was time to give Coco some much needed love. Washed/waxed the exterior & Vacuumed/Shampooed/Leather protected the interior. Also hit up a few mechanical bits:
Starter decided to die a slow and painful death, New one on the left vs. Old on the right:
New one installed:
While changing that, I noticed coolant was leaking from somewhere and upon further inspection I discovered my radiator had a crack going straight across the top. Picked up a new one today and installed it:
Exterior is still the same, nothing's really gonna change until after winter:
Next mechanical projects coming up is a new rear caliper and Idle Air Control Valve and a set of winter tires.
11-11-2011, 11:28 AM
Ugh I miss my tinted lenses :(
Look good though!
11-13-2011, 12:25 PM
nice job with the radiator
love the shots in the previous posts, great location to shoot
11-13-2011, 04:05 PM
What an unusual car. Never seen it. Love how you care for it too.
11-16-2011, 12:26 AM
Thanks guys. I've really grown used to the styling and actually get quite a few compliments on it. I'm hoping to get the rest of the little mechanical tid bits fixed this weekend if I can find the parts.
And due to my awesome anti-theft system on my OEM radio, The codes to pull up the code to unlock the radio don't work (had to disconnect the battery to do the starter, reset everything). So it's gonna go bye-bye and it's hello to the Pioneer AVH-P3300BT Heaudint (5.8" Screen, DVD Playback, Bluetooth, Navigation, iPod compatibility etc...). Should be ordered by the end of the week, that's gonna be a fun install lol. While I've got most of my center console ripped out and while I'm installing the headunit (or getting it installed at work lol), I might wire up these in the foot wells:
Oh, here's her first time seeing snow/ winter duty in almost 4 years, as the previous owner stored her indoors over winter and drove his truck...
11-16-2011, 08:03 AM
This pic is pretty damn cool. Nice car, dude.
01-08-2012, 04:40 AM
A little update:
I installed a KD-R210 Headunit I got from a friend to replace the broken factory one.
I also had some new tires (Nokian WRG2's) put on as I blew a sidewall in one of mine, and the tire shop informed me I have a ripped CV Boot. No biggie, just ordered a new axle and that will be replaced next week. I've clocked almost 27,000Km on her since April, and she's sitting right at 220,000Km so its not a surprise some parts are failing.
And last but not least, I put on my Yakima roof rack and Thule tonight. Now she's ready to see some snowboarding trips to the mountains!
01-22-2012, 11:54 PM
A little "Winter" photoshoot I did with the roof rack on two weeks ago. It was +8 the day I shot these so it was melting the little snow we had up here.
Here's a roller that was shot last weekend. The warm weather had melted most of the snow...
Just clocked up another 1,000Km's taking her up to the mountains for a ski/snowboarding trip. Thule adds a bit of drag (which was expected), and made windy highway driving a little bit harder, but she made it through just fine. I wish I got some pictures up there, but it totally slipped my mind. Next time I go I will lol.
01-25-2012, 03:15 PM
Man, you got some excellent shots in here. I wish I had...such photography skills.
04-10-2012, 12:57 PM
Well, its officially been a year since I brought Coco home. Longest I've kept a car since Nikki, my old E36. I've racked up 32,000Km's on her this past year with only a few minor issues. Nothing really new going on, she's not getting spoiled yet as I'm waiting for my tax return and I'm in between jobs (again ffs). Hopefully both of those will come in soon as I'm looking for a new set of shoes for summer this year. Bumper should also be getting fixed soon as well, just gotta take it off and give it to my dad to paint. Also looking for a OEM spoiler, a new grille, and maybe an exhaust to freshen things up for this season. Otherwise I'm focusing on saving money to bring over a '97 WRX from Japan this year.
Here's a picture from last week during a crazy spring snow storm that hit us.
04-10-2012, 06:12 PM
Car looks good! I don't see many of those things around here.
04-18-2012, 12:13 AM
Had a spring snow storm on my birthday (again), & took this at 4Am after a little drifting;
Also picked up these:
OZ Ultraleggera in 17x7 with a offset of +40, sitting on crappy Goodyear 215/40R17 tires. Full photo shoot will come this weekend after I spend some time detailing her inside and out.
05-01-2012, 06:47 PM
I'm really liking the rims! They go nicely with the car :D
05-09-2012, 11:47 PM
Thanks, I really like how well they go with it. Here's a few more pics, sorry for the delay as It's been raining lately and I've been lazy:
Thanks to our crappy roads and the low profile tires Ive already bent 2 of them pretty bad. I'm hoping to get this fixed sometime soon. I'm also hoping to be picking up a set of lowering springs I found for sale here locally which'll drop the car 2.25" in the front and 2" in the rear (if I get them).
06-01-2012, 12:45 AM
Took a hacksaw to my bumper and cut some holes to mount up some fog lights out of boredom the other day:
They even have a ricer mode!
There's 2 separate bulbs in both lights. The lower ones are blue and don't really do anything other then look cool at night. The upper ones are the fogs and throw out great light, should really help those late night road trips on the highway for camping and such this year. I'll be wrapping them with yellow Lamin-X & 3M at some point this weekend as they are glass lenses and I don't want them to catch a rock and shatter.
Also keen eyes will notice the 16's are back on. Thanks to our crappy roads I smoked a pothole and really bent one of my wheels outta wack & on top of that I got a nail in another tire. The bent wheels are going to be repaired and I'm replacing the tires with bigger ones - 225/45r17 (vs. 215/40 currently on the wheels). Hopefully I'll have the OZ's back on in a few weeks, I already miss the way they look on the car.
Also I'm hoping to give the bumper a quick (and temporary) rattle can re-spray sometime soon until I find a new bumper since this one is more beat up then I thought it was - the whole lower grille section is almost completely broken off. It's been like this since I got the car and I just never bothered to actually look at the bumper closely until the other day lol.

Today I spent the day tearing apart the center console to create a mounting spot for the fog light switch. When I installed the fogs I was in a rush and had no time to run the switch wiring through the firewall, which I did today. Decided to mount the switch where the factory seat heaters are on the 3.0CL's. Was simple, just took a bit of drilling and some dremeling and a little bit of paint to shine it up. Not a perfect match, but that can be fixed later.
While I had the center console apart, I rewired the stereo as some connections came loose and out of boredom I wired up those LED's I posted earlier. Was really simple, just wired them into the "illumination" cord on my headunit that wasn't hooked up. The lights come on as soon as you turn on the parking or low beam lights. Was driving around tonight with them on and they make the interior a nicer place to be at night, I find it very relaxing and totally changes the look of the interior.

Gave her a good cleaning today after work. Also picked up some vent visors and installed them a few weeks back. Coco might be for sale soon, not gonna say what I could be picking up as I'm still working on a few little details, but I will say it's almost too sweet a deal to pass up... :}
07-13-2012, 03:04 AM
Excited to see whats in store, I really like Coco, but you always have us on our toes :D can't wait!
How's the CL as a daily driver, looking to get one at one point, they look so sharp
07-14-2012, 02:26 AM
As sad as I will be to see Coco go, financially it works out better for me in the long run. I would highly recommend the CL as a daily driver, its a very comfortable car and has costed me very little in maintenance over the course of the last year and a half. They are pretty rare cars as they only made two body styles over a 6 year period, and they still turn heads being almost 15 years old.
If everything works out, I should be closing the deal on my new car tomorrow at work and bringing her home. Just had it through our shop for inspection and she passed with flying colors as expected. Very, very excited and I'm finding it hard to sleep right now lol.

A heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air, usually at temperatures between 100 °C and 550 °C (200-1000 °F), with some hotter models running around 760 °C (1400 °F), which can be held by hand. Heat guns usually have the form of an elongated body pointing at what is to be heated, with a handle fixed to it at right angles and a trigger, in the same general layout as a handgun, hence the name. A lighter duty heat gun is similar to a portable Hair dryer.
A heat gun comprises a source of heat, usually an electrically heated element, but sometimes a gas flame; a mechanism to move the hot air such as an electric fan, unless gas pressure is sufficient; a nozzle to direct the air, which may be a simple tube pointing in one direction, or specially shaped for purposes such as concentrating the heat on a small area or thawing a pipe but not the wall behind; a housing to contain the components and keep the operator safe; a mechanism to switch it on and off such as a trigger; a handle; and a built-in or external stand if the gun is to be used hands-free. Although not called such, a hair dryer is a form of low-temperature heat gun. Gas-powered soldering irons sometimes have interchangeable hot air blower tips to produce a very narrow stream of hot air suitable for working with surface-mount devices and shrinking heat shrink tubing.
Focused infrared heaters are also used for localised heating.
Heat guns are used in physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering, and other laboratory and workshop settings. Different types of heat gun operating at different temperatures and with different airflow can be used to strip paint, shrink heat shrink tubing, shrink film, and shrink wrap packaging, dry out damp wood, bend and weld plastic, soften adhesives, and thaw frozen pipes. Heat guns, often called hot air guns or hot air stations for this application, are used in electronics to desolder and rework surface-mounted circuit board components. Heat guns are also used for functional testing of overheat protection devices, in order to safely simulate an overheat condition.
Household use of heat guns is common. Heat guns and lighter weight hair driers are sometimes used to remove paint splashes and wallpapers. Heat is also used to bend plastics with the help of the gun and soften some types of adhesives. These guns also help in thawing frozen pipes and shrink wraps. Heat guns can be used to roast coffee beans, sear meat and melt sugar, chocolate, etc. They can also be used to bend PVC pipes. Heat guns are sometimes used to help upholster furniture and repair leather and vinyl goods.

Author: Victoria Purman
Only We Know is the latest Victoria Purman novel, also set in South Australia, and leaving me itching to travel. Much of this latest offering is set on Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia. I have lived in South Australia for almost half of my life and have never been to KI, never really felt the need…. until now. Yet again Purman has painted a vivid and enchanting picture of a local place that has me itching to go and see it with my own eyes.
The cover image is gorgeous green grass right up to the sea, and it is an actual photo of Kangaroo Island taken by none other than Purman herself. I think there is quite a bit of Purman in this one, she obviously love Kangaroo Island and I sense a deep appreciation of wine and chocolate in her personality traits also because lead character Calla must have inherited them from somewhere.
I was rapidly swept up in the story of Only We Know and quite early on I could see where things were going and had quite a clear idea of how the story would end – and I wasn’t disappointed. Having said that I was still enraptured by the unfolding of the story as the characters got to know each other and themselves.
Calla Maloney has embarked on a mission to mend the cracks, well they’re actually more like chasms, in her family. She is an art teacher in Adelaide and has made the most of school holidays to take an impromptu trip to Kangaroo Island searching for her long lost brother. He disappeared from the lives of Calla and her sister Rose two years ago and they have heard nothing from him since.
The ferry ride to KI has Calla feeling decidedly green, part of it seasickness and part of it nerves about where this journey will lead her. In the two years since she has seen her brother she has managed to make a mess of her life so this is the first step in a pilgrimage for Calla to simplify her life. The weather is dismal and the crossing is choppy so when Calla finds herself about to lose her lunch she heads off in search of a way out of the cabin and onto the ferry deck, which is when the handsome helpful stranger points her in the right direction.
Sam Hunter is the handsome stranger, one time resident of KI now an Adelaide firefighter. He is heading back to the island to try and convince his dad it’s time to leave the family farm and move into a retirement home but it is an uphill battle that has been raging for over a year. Charlie is starting to lose his memory and is becoming a real worry for his family, never sure where they will find him or how lucid he will be.
Calla and Sam run into one another a few times and when she literally runs into him, writing off her car, he takes on the role of tour guide after staying close to keep an eye on her the first night to rule out concussion.
Sam has been gone from the island for a long time and he takes it’s beauty very much for granted, these are the views he grew up with and he saw them every day. He begins to see them through new ones when he shows Calla the sights because she sees them with such a fresh perspective having never visited the island before.
These characters have both had it tough, for very different reasons they have both shut down their hearts and sworn off relationships. They seem to have quite a lot in common though in very different ways. There are secrets buried in both of their family pasts and they both find themselves on the island to deal with family drama.
There were times that I found myself quite unsympathetic to Calla, some of her decisions prior to the book made it difficult for me feel for her and some of her thought processes as the story played out at times had me wanting to shake her. I must admit that as her back story was fleshed out I started to see how things came about and became a little more understanding even if I couldn’t bring myself to be sympathetic.
Sam on the other hand was extremely easy to be sympathetic too. He has done it rough and anyone would be able to understand his reactions but in the end they are self-sabotaging. So much of his life has been out of his control that it’s no wonder he thrives on the authority afforded to him in his chosen career.
Sympathetic or not these characters were extremely likeable as people, as were all of the characters in the book. In a short space of time they managed to get to know more about one another than anyone else ever had, which taught them just as much about themselves.
A tale of family, of secrets, and of new beginnings. A tale that shows you can change the legacy of a family, secrets and lies don’t have to travel through the generations. Another outstanding offering from Victoria Purman that ignited a spark or wanderlust.
Only We Know is available now from Harlequin Books and where all good books are sold.
Only We Know is book #23 for the Australian Women Writer’s Challenge.
I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!

The gravitational field of a laser beam beyond the short wavelength approximation
preprintposted on 2023-11-30, 05:36 authored by Fabienne Schneiter, Dennis Rätzel, Daniel Braun
Light carries energy, and therefore, it is the source of a gravitational field. The gravitational field of a beam of light in the short wavelength approximation has been studied by several authors. In this article, we consider light of finite wavelengths by describing a laser beam as a solution of Maxwell's equations and taking diffraction into account. Then, novel features of the gravitational field of a laser beam become apparent, such as frame-dragging due to its spin angular momentum and the deflection of parallel co-propagating test beams that overlap with the source beam. Even though the effects are too small to be detected with current technology, they are of conceptual interest, revealing the gravitational properties of light.


The 1955 Chevrolet proved to be a revelation to the car-buying public in more ways than one. Its styling was revolutionary for the time, a brilliant leap forward with sculpted headlight eyebrows, an egg-crate grille obviously inspired by the Ferraris of the period, a wraparound windshield and beautiful proportions. The new Chevrolet marked another automotive milestone: the introduction of the all-new Turbo Fire 265 CI pushrod V-8 engine that would eventually rewrite the record books and become the longest-lived production pushrod V-8 in history. The Chevy small-block quickly became a hot-rodding staple as the Ford flathead V-8 had done before it, and the ’55 Chevrolet has enjoyed similar staying power as a favorite with enthusiasts of every stripe. Case in point: this skillfully Resto Modded 1955 Chevrolet 210 Sedan, the product of a personalized restoration completed in 2016 on an original body and frame. During the build it was promoted to the rank of Bel Air by the addition of that model’s tasteful exterior trim and identification badges, in the process paving the way for its show-quality two-tone red and white base-coat and clear-coat finish. The beautiful paint is complemented with chromed “smoothie” front and rear bumpers and new Ridler 5-spoke polished wheels with low-profile BF Goodrich radial tires. Chevrolet’s classic cowl-induction intake scoop was blended into the shaved hood, hinting at the Edelbrock-equipped 350 CI small-block V-8 crate engine, a direct descendent of the original 265, and here, teamed with an automatic transmission and Ford 9-inch rear axle. Adjustable coilover suspension, 4-wheel power disc brakes and a high-performance power steering kit combine for 21st-century handling. The matching red and white interior is all new, including the dash panel and instrument bezels. Features include a 15-inch steering wheel on a tilt column, a custom console with auxiliary gauges, Vintage Air, tinted glass and a new AM/FM/MP3 radio.

Super typhoon kills at least 3 people in Philippines
Threat level: The storm that's equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane is the strongest typhoon to make landfall in the Philippines this year — causing over 300,000 people to evacuate coastal areas as it triggered flooding, communications and power outages and uprooted trees Thursday, AFP notes.
- Officials said the outages were hindering rescue efforts and fallen trees and debris were blocking roads, according to AP.
The big picture: Rai was packing maximum sustained winds of 121 mph with gusts of 150 mph as it lashed coastal communities before slightly weakening after making landfall in Surigao del Norte province's Siargao Island.
- It still had sustained winds of 96 mph with gusts of up to 133 mph as it headed toward the western Palawan province before heading into the South China Sea, AP reports.

Ministry now bans plastic bottles from Karura forest, Nairobi park
Kenyans visiting Karura Forest and Nairobi National Park will no longer be allowed past the gates with their drinking water if it is in disposable plastic bottles.
The prohibition applies to the polyethylene terephthalate disposable water bottles commonly used by bottlers or any other plastic material.
Visitors are, however, allowed to carry their heavy-duty reusable plastic bottles.
Environment Cabinet Secretary Judi Wakhungu made the declaration at Karura Forest on Tuesday.
A similar ceremony will take place for the park at a later date.
Prof Wakhungu said the prohibition would be extended to all other protected areas and forest reserves in due time to rid them of plastics.
“To begin with, we want all protected areas to be plastic free,” she said.
“I will then announce that all our protected areas must be plastic free because we have seen it working here in Karura.”
The Karura ban is an initiative by the Friends of Karura group that was introduced immediately after the ban on plastic bags last month.
“At the Karura gates, you will be asked to declare any plastics you have with you. And if you have any, you’ll kindly be asked to put it in a container provided at the gate,” said the CS.
“That way, we will ensure that visitors do not litter the forest when they leave.”
She said that soon, the government will ban disposable plastic bottles nationally, adding that discussions with manufacturers and recyclers were under way.
“It has only been three weeks since the ban on plastic bags and we have seen significant progress. Let’s see how we fare in six months.
‘‘Kenyans who do not want to use plastic bottles have a choice to start using the alternatives,” she said.

Modesto Irrigation District officials signaled Tuesday that they are ready to take their first big plunge into solar power.
The district board heard a report on a proposal to turn a 160-acre expanse of land on the northeast corner of McHenry Avenue and Patterson Road into a solar energy field.
The 25-megawatt project would provide just 2 percent of the MID's power, but it would help the district meet a state mandate for renewable energy.
The $150 million-plus system, which would be built and owned by SunPower Corp. of San Jose, would bring an estimated 50 jobs during construction and property taxes for years to come.
"It's local," said Greg Salyer, manager of resource planning and development for the MID. "We have the advantage that it sits right here in our service territory."
The board is scheduled to vote Jan. 12 on the project, which could be running by spring 2011. The district would incur about $4 million in upfront costs, mainly for connecting the system to its grid.
The price per kilowatt-hour is being negotiated, but officials said the power likely would cost the district about $10 million a year over 25 years.
Because solar costs more than conventional sources -- mainly hydro, natural gas and coal -- the project could require a rate increase of perhaps 1.5 percent in 2011, officials said.
Gov. Schwarzenegger has ordered that utilities get at least 33 percent of their electricity from solar, wind and other renewable sources by 2020. The state has not set rules for carrying this out. The hyrdroelectric power generated for the Modesto and Turlock irrigation districts from Don Pedro Dam near La Grange does not count.
The aim is to reduce emissions from fossil fuels, which are believed to be changing Earth's climate in a way that could heat up the San Joaquin Valley and reduce the Sierra Nevada snowpack.
SunPower would build the solar project on a leased piece of land a half-mile wide on each side. The site is mostly bare ground but has a home that would remain, said Jeffrey Dasovich, managing director of utilities and power plants for the company.
The project would not produce air pollution or noise, Salyer said, and it could be screened by bushes if needed.
The MID and SunPower representatives plan to meet with nearby residents to explain the project in early January, spokeswoman Melissa Wil-liams said. The area includes Del Rio Country Club and a mix of other homes, businesses and farmland.
Dasovich said the rows upon rows of gleaming panels could be attractive to the public.
"It will be in a spot where educational opportunities will be significant," he said. "We get a lot of requests to tour our sites."
The MID gets 12 percent of its power from renewable sources, almost all of it wind from Solano County and Washington state. Scattered solar systems on home and business roofs contribute a tiny amount.
Solar advocates have been urging the MID to support large systems within its boundaries to boost the local economy.
"It's right here in the community," district board member John Kidd said of the McHenry project. "And it's a good thing, because if we're going to have to have the green power, let's get it in our back yard."
The project also reduces the need for new transmission lines for distant sources of power. One such project -- with a possible route right past the solar site -- was canceled in July after protests from residents.
The McHenry project has emerged just as Stanislaus County officials are exploring large solar projects at the Fink Road landfill and the former Geer Road dump.

There is likewise a start/pause function, which lets the user pause scanning, rearrange the model, and resume. The software is not developed to instantly line up subsequent scans. For this, the user manual is incredibly crucial. In addition to the user handbook, the Revopoint site provides a comprehensive library of documents for users to download.
The user handbook for the Revopoint POP 3D Portable SCANNER also consists of instructions for usage and setup of the software. It also supplies a video tutorial to help users begin on their new 3D portable scanner. You can even download the user guide to read more about using the software application. While you’re at it, check out the manual thoroughly and make sure that you are following the directions in it.
Price contrast with Revopoint POP 2 3D PORTABLE SCANNER
The Revopoint POP 2 is a 3D portable scanner with a price range of around PS490 to PS453. It is developed for specialized industries, and it doesn’t come low-cost.

This product has many advantages over its competitors, consisting of portability and expert quality.
The POP 2 is the successor of the POP, a compact, light-weight scanner that uses high-resolution scans. It uses the latest updated hardware to produce a higher-quality scan, a faster scanning speed, and much better color results. It replaces the Dual electronic camera infrared structured light with Binocular Micro-Structured Light to enhance precision. The scan volume is likewise bigger, from thirty to twenty-five millimeters, and its speed has been increased from 8 to 10 fps to a quick scanning speed of 10.
The Revopoint POP 2’s accuracy has been increased considerably considering that it first came out. Instead of 0.3 mm, the POP 2’s precision has actually been increased to 0.05 mm. It includes a software package called Revo Calibration that permits users to adjust their scanners and evaluate their accuracy. This software will also allow you to reproduce existing items if you don’t have them yet. 3d pop out eyes cartoon

How are you ensuring my safety and the safety of library staff?
The safety of our users and staff is paramount.

Facilities are available for users to clean their desk and chairs down on arrival, but desks and chairs will also be cleaned by staff between the morning and afternoon session and at the end of the day. Ramsay Hall study spaces will be wiped down by staff at the start of the day and students are asked to wipe the desk down before and after use.

We are minimising the handling of books and all other materials and will be following strict hygiene rules when preparing books for collection. Staff will not touch your ID or any other documentation. Items for collection will be in a plastic bag, labelled with your name for collection.
We request that you do not use anti-bacterial wipes on any library books as this may cause damage.

THINGS MENTALLY STRONG PEOPLE DO
Mentally strong people are the people who can deal with their problems and know their value. Developing mental strength is all about habitually doing the things that no one is willing to do. If you don’t follow these things on a regular basis, you should start because these are the habits that mentally strong people rely on.
MENTALLY STRONG PEOPLE DON’T COMPLAIN
Mentally strong people don’t waste time on complaining and whining. They don’t blame the fate for their problems or for being unkind to them. Strong people know there is no point in it.
THEY DON’T GIVE UP
This is the primary habit of mentally strong people. If you wanna be strong, you need to move on from your failures and to keep trying until you succeed.
THEY ARE SELF-DISCIPLINED
Self-discipline is a key aspect of success and self-development. Most mentally strong people are self-disciplined and hardworking.
THEY SET HEALTHY BOUNDARIES
They can establish healthy boundaries because they accept full responsibility on how they behave and how they think, and refuse to let other people dictate how their day is gonna be.
THEY INVEST THEIR ENERGY IN THE PRESENT
They do not get stuck up in the past. To get stuck in the past is a waste of time and energy. An energy that you could use to invest in your present and build your future.
THEY THINK PRODUCTIVELY
Mentally strong people replace negative thoughts with productive ones. If you want to develop your mental strength, then you need to get rid of all your negative thoughts. Start thinking positive and ask yourself what you can do better.
THEY CONTROL THEIR EMOTIONS
They have all kind of emotions just like any other one of us, but they try to not be the hostage of them. Strong people prefer to deal with what they are feeling in private and not in public.
THEY ARE FLEXIBLE TO CHANGES
They don’t try to avoid change. And they realize that change is a necessary part of life and success.
THEY CELEBRATE OTHER PEOPLE’S SUCCESS
A weak person will always be happy for someone else’s failure. This kind of person feels better about himself if he sees you down. On the other side, mentally strong people are the ones who will always be glad and happy for someone else’s success. They will always encourage you to be the best version of yourself.

Last month the government paid a whopping $14.93 billion in interest payments. Between 2001 and 2008 the total public debit increased from $5.6 trillion to $10.7 trillion. Currently the total public debt is approximately $11.99 Trillion (the sum of yearly debt since we became a nation). This brings our total debt to GDP ratio close to 80%.
It only took 5 1/2 months for Uncle Sam to run up another trillion dollars deeper into debt from September 2008 of $10 trillion to $11 trillion in March 2009, the fastest jump in U.S. history. The Obama administration's four year estimate shows by the end of 2012, the Debt will be around $16 trillion - which amounts to about 100% of the nations GDP for the year.
The Chinese are already starting to get nervous, last summer they were asking for a guarantee of the $1 trillion of U.S. debt they own. The U.S. Government's ability to pay rests in its power to tax you and I; the more debt that is incurred the higher taxes have to become in order for the government to meet its obligations. This has an effect of lowering our standard of living. I can guarantee the Chinese don't care about our quality of life just as we don't care about theirs. They are the investor and will demand to be paid. This reminds me of how Wall Street likes to asses their risky investments: by flipping a coin, "heads we win, tails the tax payer gets nailed". And get nailed we will; imagine if our parents ran up massive credit card bills before we were born and stiffed us with the bill when they died. This is essentially what we are doing to or children and our grandchildren.
Learn more about
Total entitlement spending (bills our government must pay) is a function of social security, medicare, medicaid, net interest payments of U.S. debt, and other government programs. At this rate sometime between 2030 and 2040 mandatory spending will exceed all government revenues essentially guaranteeing a perpetual increase in U.S. debt.
My concern is what happens when the interest payments alone exceed tax revenue? De facto bankruptcy? Is this path sustainable in the long run?
What happens if the U.S. dollar looses reserve currency status and China decides to unload the $1 trillion they own into the market? To avoid collapse the Fed would have to raise interest rates higher than they did during the 1970's, this would create stagflation and massive unemployment would be the result. Moreover, if the U.S. did loose reserve currency status and commodities were not pegged to the dollar, other countries would loose its incentive to hold dollars. Could you imagine > $12 trillion dollars being unleashed into the market? Excessive supply of U.S. dollars will create massive inflation and the crash of the dollar - it would be worthless. We would have to carry bags of cash just to buy a cup of coffee. This would cause severe shock in our economic system and would mean the collapse of the American economy. This is worst case scenario and not likely anytime soon. What is our solution to this dilemma? Our youth have inherited this problem and it not be long before we are relying on them to solve our fiscal irresponsibility.
There are 3 types of people in the country, those who save and invest, those who could easily save more but choose not too, and those for whom savings is very difficult. If Fed policy creates strong economic growth and keeps inflation low everyone can benefit. However, if inflation rises people who are less well off will suffer more.
As our founding fathers said - its all up to us, "We the people".

This leaf originates from a manuscript of selected chapters from the Qur'an known as the 'Five Surahs' which begin with the phrase al-hamdulillah (chapters I, V, XVIII, XXXIV and XXXV). The colophon of the manuscript, now housed in a private collection, gives the name of the scribe as Abu Muhammad 'Abdul Qayyum Ibn Muhammad Ibn Karamshah-i Tabrizi. Abolala Soudavar has suggested on stylistic grounds that the compilation of Qur'anic verses from which this leaf originated was made for the Jalayrid ruler Shaykh Uways (Soudavar 1992, no.19, pp.50-51).
The extremely fine illumination is reminiscent of earlier Ilkhanid imperial Qur'ans, such as Uljaytu's Mosul Qur'an and the superb muhaqqaq script looks forward to the monumental Qur'an attributed to Baysunghur but more likely commissioned by his grandfather Timur (r.1370-1405). Furthermore, David James observes that the calligrapher achieves "...Faultless perfection...equalled only by Suhrawardi in the Qur'an produced in Baghdad in the early years of the 14th century" (James 1992, p.16).
Other leaves from this manuscript are in the Nasser D. Khalili Collection; The Art and History Trust Collection, now on loan to the Sackler Gallery, Washington; and the David Collection, Copenhagen. Two leaves were exhibited in Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva (see Islamic Calligraphy-Sacred and Secular Writings, Geneva, 1988, nos.23a and 23b, pp.100-104), whilst a further leaf was exhibited in the exhibition Writing the Word of God - Calligraphy and the Qur'an at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 27 October - 3 February 2008 (published in Roxburgh 2007, p.46-47, fig.20).
Other leaves from the same manuscript were sold in these rooms, 19 October 2016, lot 159; 7 October 2015, lot 213; 8 October 2008, lot 19; 1 April 2009, lot 6 and 9 April 2008, lot 24.

Big Hero 6 (2014) is an animated superhero film from Disney and Marvel, based on the Marvel superhero characters of the same name; the score was composed by Henry Jackman. It takes place in a fictional city called San Fransokyo, a conglomerate of American and Japanese architecture and culture. A prime example of the cultural blend is seen with the Golden Gate bridge, which harbors most of its present day design, with added pagoda tiers at the tops of the towers. The film blends the strengths of both companies: the heartfelt charisma of Disney and the exciting action of Marvel.
One of my biggest takes from the film is how great it is as a role model for kids. The cast is racially diverse (still a novel idea, unfortunately), and it shows kids how focusing on school and science is directly linked to success and badassery. Hiro (Ryan Potter) is a genius high school graduate at the age of 14. His older brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) is a university student in an innovative robotics program and finds himself worried about Hiro’s lack of intellectual pursuits. He takes him to his lab and introduces him to his colleagues: Go Go (Jamie Chung) who is designing a electromagnetic bike; Wasabi (Damon Wayans Jr.) who is working with lasers; Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), a chemistry expert; and Fred (T. J. Miller), who is less scientist and more science enthusiast. Finally, Tadashi shows his brother the project he’s working on, a healthcare personal assistant called Baymax (Scott Adsit), a friendly robot with a huggable nature. After seeing all of these projects, Hiro is immediately enthusiastic about continuing his studies at San Fransokyo’s Institute of Technology — upon seeing that higher education can be seriously cool.
Not only are the students’ projects really cool, but the students themselves are incredibly diverse. Hiro is a biracial leading man, half-Japanese and half-Caucasian. Go Go, an unyielding and independent Asian woman, at one point, shouts for someone to “Woman up”. Wasabi is a caring and goodhearted African-American man who becomes the foundation of the group and the voice for the audience. The eclectic group that comes together gives the myriad of children watching this film to identify with and connect with one or more of the characters in a more meaningful way than the majority of other animated films. Throw in their incredible intelligence and problem solving, and you’ve got a recipe for inspired kids.
While the film is a bit predictable at times, the story has a huge heart that more than makes up for that. Baymax dares anyone not to fall for his charisma. He’s another classic example of a robot who interacts with an emotional human being. Baymax is programmed to care for his patient, Hiro, and goes to great lengths to provide him with the utmost care. The relationship between the two is palpable, as Baymax becomes more and more of an older brother figure for Hiro. He’s always there for him, whether he’s slumming through a phase of low-battery (which remarkably resembles a human’s drunken state) or learning a fist bump to revel in Hiro’s successes (balalala). He becomes such a great counselor for Hiro that we just want to jump through the screen and give him a big, marshmallowy hug.
And who didn’t think of Interstellar when Hiro and Baymax fly through into the portal? That animation was absolutely gorgeous, creating a fantastically thrilling universe with bright colors swirling around together.
Big Hero 6 honestly wasn’t on my radar when it came out. Better late than never! This film is a delightful adventure, working through grief and reimagining family. The film creates great role models for kids and provides plenty of laughs for everyone. San Fransokyo sounds like an incredible city, so please let there be a sequel so we can steal away to that place once again.


VPN Protocols measure the level of security of VPN
Types of VPN Protocols
Internet Protocol Security or IPSec
Internet Protocol Security or IPSec is used to secure Internet communication across an IP network. IPSec secures Internet Protocol communication by authenticating the session and encrypts each data packet during the connection. IPSec operates in two modes, Transport mode and Tunneling mode, to protect data transfer between two different networks. The transport mode encrypts the message in the data packet and the tunneling mode encrypts the entire data packet. IPSec can also be used with other security protocols to enhance the security system.
L2TP or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol
L2TP or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a tunneling protocol that is usually combined with another VPN security protocol like IPSec to create a highly secure VPN connection. L2TP creates a tunnel between two L2TP connection points and IPSec protocol encrypts the data and handles secure communication between the tunnel.
PPTP or Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
PPTP or Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol creates a tunnel and encapsulates the data packet. It uses a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to encrypt the data between the connection. PPTP is one of the most widely used VPN protocol and has been in use since the time of Windows 95. Apart from Windows, PPTP is also supported on Mac and Linux.
SSL and TLS
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) create a VPN connection where the web browser acts as the client and user access is restricted to specific applications instead of entire network. SSL and TLS protocol is most commonly used by online shopping websites and service providers. Web browsers switch to SSL with ease and with almost no action required from the user, since web browsers come integrated with SSL and TLS. SSL connections have https in the beginning of the URL instead of http.
OpenVPN is an open source VPN that is useful for creating Point-to-Point and Site-to-Site connections. It uses a custom security protocol based on SSL and TLS protocol.
Secure Shell or SSH
Secure Shell or SSH creates the VPN tunnel through which the data transfer happens and also ensures that the tunnel is encrypted. SSH connections are created by a SSH client and data is transferred from a local port on to the remote server through the encrypted tunnel.
VPN One Click
VPN One Click - a Virtual Private Network service launched in the year 2011 with an objective to provide users hassle free, secure and private Internet connection in order to access blocked and restricted websites while maintaining the user's privacy and keeping the identity hidden. VPN One Click is a trusted service provider and has more than 30 million satisfied users worldwide.
VPN One Click is available and compatible with almost all devices and platforms, and can be installed easily without any hassles. Its just a one click installation with VPN One Click. VPN One Click uses the stronger and faster IKEv2/IPSec protocol for encryption and provides the user a highly secure and private Internet connection.
